Finally introducing you to my lawlu children OCs!

Say hi to Ola and Taiga! Here's some additional info about them:

Taiga had a very frail health when he was a baby. It got the whole family worried for a long time, so now he's a little overprotected.

Ola gets restless very easily, she often needs her family to ground her or help with her excess energy.

Bepo is their favorite uncle.

Ola is closer to Law, while Taiga usually spends more time with Luffy.

Taiga always asks Luffy to tell him stories about uncle Ace. He idolizes him, and let his hair grow to look more like him.

Ola likes writing fiction and Law is always the first to read her stories.

Taiga dislikes fighting and usually avoids conflict. There are only two situations that can activate his bloodthirst: hurt his family or disturb his garden.

Ola, on the other hand, is very feisty and always ready to take care of the situation. It's hard to make her really mad though, but if you do, prepare to suffer the worst.

Law likes to think he's a strict parent, but in reality he always lets the kids get away with everything. Luffy thinks it's funny.

There's more to come, if you're interested! Also, askbox is always open in case you have questions or thoughts about them ❤

Sanji wasn’t sure what he had expected when Luffy burst into the kitchen one afternoon with Law in tow. He had expected something—after all, Luffy being late for lunch was never without reason—but that ‘something’ sure as hell wasn’t what actually came out of his captain’s mouth.

“We’re having a baby!”

Dead silence settled over the kitchen as everyone present stared at Luffy with an open mouth.

“I’m sorry, who is having what?” Usopp finally asked, his voice a pitch higher than usual.

“Me and Torao. We’re having a baby,” Luffy replied matter-of-factly as he settled into a chair, grabbing for the whole chicken in the middle of the table.

Sanji automatically swatted him, “Hands off, that’s for Nami-san, Robin-chan, and Ikkaku-chan. Are you actually for real?”

“You’re mean,” Luffy whined, chewing on a slab of sea king meat unhappily, his eyes still fixated on the chicken. “But yeah? Why wouldn’t we be?”

“Because the Captain—You—You know…” Penguin tried, waving his hands around vaguely and obviously looking for words.

“My head already hurts…” Torao muttered, dropping into his designated chair next to Luffy, throwing his arm around the back on Luffy’s own chair.

“Well, considering Torao isn’t trying to murder Luffy right now, I guess it’s not just in Luffy’s head,” Zoro laughed, earning himself a glare from both Luffy and Torao—one of those way more threatening than the other—but he didn’t pay them any mind. Instead he raised his mug in a toast. “Congrats.”

That seemed to break the spell that had both of the crews in a stupor. Suddenly, everyone was cheering and congratulating their captains on the happy news, asking a million questions and already making plans for a celebration.

There was Franky crying his eyes out, Bepo hanging onto Law and rubbing his face against him, Penguin and Shachi fighting over who was going to be the godfather—as if the Straw Hats would let them hog that role all to themselves—Chopper so happy he didn’t know what to do with himself, and of course, Robin enveloping Luffy in a warm hug with a happy smile on her face.

Sanji wanted to feel jealous. He would be, very much so in fact, under any other circumstances.

However, right now…

Right now he had more pressing issues on his mind.

Exchanging a look with Nami and Usopp, all three of them nodded, a mutual understanding between them.

Sanji needed a cigarette.

—————

It was that very same night that Sanji found himself in the kitchen once more. This time, however, the atmosphere was much calmer… and also much more serious. The silence that hung over the room was almost oppressing, the unspoken tension felt by everyone present.

Sanji carefully placed a cocktail glass in front of Nami, who only muttered her thanks in a voice so quiet it was barely more than a whisper.

Usopp seemed to not even have it in himself to protest the unfair treatment or demand his own from where he was lying slumped over the table, his eyes staring off into space and fixed on an empty spot on the wall. Sanji could understand the sentiment.

With a sigh, Sanji pulled out a chair and sat down, grabbing a cigarette and lighting it, taking a long drag. He wondered… how many chances to enjoy a smoke in peace did he have left?

It was only minutes later that Usopp finally broke the silence in a completely lifeless voice, not even bothering to unglue his face from the table. “What are we gonna do?”

“Pray,” Sanji replied, watching the smoke rise to the ceiling. Really, what else was there for them?

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for them okay?” Usopp continued, gesturing with his hand as if to stress his words while still keeping his head on the table. “But can you imagine? A person, a human person who is half Luffy and half Torao? That’s not going to be a human person, it’s going to be the thing that will finally sink the Sunny.”

“Tell me about it…” Sanji mumbled. “If that baby eats as much as Luffy does? Do you have any idea what it’s like feeding one Luffy?”

“Not to mention the cost of feeding one Luffy.” Nami nodded in agreement as she rubbed the bridge of her nose; no doubt already worrying about their already strained finances.

Usopp groaned. “Even just picturing their personality is giving me a headache. We are so fucked guys.”

Suddenly, Nami slammed her glass on the table, startling both Sanji and Usopp and making both their heads turn to stare at her. She was silent for a moment longer, her eyes closed but her posture firm. It was obvious she had come to a conclusion in her mind and was about to assume command of their meeting.

Ah, Sanji loved her when she was decisive like this too…

“Listen, you two,” she said once she finally opened her eyes and gave them both a serious look. “We need to stop panicking. What is our advantage?”

“Uhm.” Usopp frowned, taken aback. “That we’re three adults against one monster of a baby?”

Nami rolled her eyes. “That we’ll be there from day one. We can be positive role models and neutralise the awful influence of their parents and their freak-genes.”

“I see. Avert the worst case scenario with positive reinforcement training,” Usopp hummed as he rubbed at his chin thoughtfully.

“Don’t talk about the kid like they’re a dog.” Sanji lit up a new cigarette before he wondered out loud, “But Nami-san, can the three of us do it? We’re up against Luffy.”

Nami heaved a deep sigh, resting her cheek against her palm as she sipped on her drink. “Well, what other choice do we have? We can’t just will the problem away and we can’t possibly… I don’t know, edit their bloodline element to not be a Luffy and Torao child.”

Sanji winced, not wanting to even think about any genetic modifications. He had had more than enough of that at three years old for the rest of his damn life. He’d rather have the kid eat twice as much as Luffy and be twice as picky as Law than anything even close to that.

(No, Sanji would never let that umeboshi fight they had on their way to Punk Hazard all those years ago go, thank you very much.)

“So, Nami… what’s the plan? Once they’re born, do we just make sure to feed them a normal person amount and teach them not to say or do creepy shit while Luffy, Torao, and Robin are right there?” Usopp asked.

Nami grubbed at her temple and sighed. “Something like that. We still have a few months, we can work on the actual plan during that time…”

“Here’s hoping,” Usopp groaned, slumping back on the table. “Man, kids are exhausting…”

Taking a drag of his cigarette, Sanji couldn’t help but agree with Usopp. He was so tired already and they only found out about it today. 

Sanji honestly dreaded the day they were born.

—————

Sanji sighed, running his hands through his hair. He wanted a cigarette but Chopper had made him promise to stop smoking. He supposed he could at least go outside for air but that would mean leaving and what if something happened while he was gone? He had to be there, he had to stay in this room with everyone so that they could help if needed. Or be there once they can meet their newest crewmember.

And no, Sanji wasn’t nervous. Not at all. He knew nothing would go wrong and everything would be fine. He was perfectly fine—

“Can you stop pacing around like you’re the goddamned father, Curly?”

“Shut the fuck up, Marimo,” Sanji snapped, baring his teeth at the man who dared call himself his boyfriend but instead was still the same asshole he was when they first met. Why did Sanji tolerate him anyway?

Zoro rolled his eyes, leaning forward to grab Sanji’s hand and pulling him closer—closer until Sanji was basically standing between the swordsman’s legs with his arms wrapped loosely around Sanji’s slowly growing stomach, his presence solid and grounding and suddenly, Sanji felt like he could breathe easier. Ah… Yes, this was why.

Sanji took a deep breath as his shoulders sagged and his whole body relaxed, focusing on the warmth of Zoro’s body against his own instead of his thoughts.

“It’s fine, Chopper’s there,” Zoro said, his voice steady and firm.

“I know. Sorry,” Sanji muttered back. All of a sudden, he felt like the idiot, getting all worked up for nothing. It wasn’t like worrying would help in any way, was it?

“Thank god, the pacing was making me nervous,” Shachi noted with laughter that sounded way too strained to be amused.

Yeah, they were all nervous weren’t they?

Sanji wished it would end already. The wait was the worst.

Suddenly, as if answering his thoughts, the lock clicked and the door to the infirmary creaked.

Everyone’s heads immediately snapped to stare as the door slowly opened, holding their breaths and not moving a muscle, their hearts beating a mile per second in their throats—at least, that was what Sanji’s heart was doing. But considering even the Marimo froze completely against him, he was sure they were all in the same boat.

It felt like hours before Chopper came into view behind the door, looking completely spent. Tears were glistening in his eyes as he looked up, his gaze taking in all the Straw Hats and Hearts that were packed into the waiting room.

Sanji gulped heavily, watching with wide eyes as Chopper started crying—at the same time as his mouth split into the widest, happiest smile Sanji had ever seen on the little reindeer.

“It—” Chopper started but then stopped as he choked on his own words. “It’s a girl. They–they’re–everyone’s doing great.”

Silence settled over the room for a moment as the information slowly sank in. But then…

“WHOO-HOO!!”

Loud cheers erupted around the room as the invisible weight they had been carrying around lifted. Sanji laughed in relief, his lips stretching into a smile. One of his hands automatically came to rest over Zoro’s arm around his stomach, squeezing lightly.

He heard Zoro huff in response, the man only hugging him closer in a wordless gesture that they both understood but neither addressed.

“Shut the fuck up!” someone finally snapped from inside the infirmary when it seemed like the cries and excitement wasn’t about to end anytime soon.

And, as if by magic, everyone went quiet, some even going so far as to slap their hands over their mouths. There were only several muttered ‘sorry, Captain’ and ‘sorry, Torao’s to be heard before the thin film of Law’s room appeared—and only a split second later, the door to the infirmary slammed shut again by itself.

“Well, I guess they really are fine…” Usopp mumbled after a moment.

“So uh. Can we meet her or?” Uni asked uncertainly.

“Who’s going to ask them though?” Penguin asked back, shooting a look at Uni, then the door, then finally at everyone else in the room.

A moment of silence passed before everyone echoed, “Bepo.”

“Why me?” the bear whined.

“Because he’s not going to kill you,” Shachi explained helpfully, which only earned him an unhappy frown from Bepo.

“Stop bullying my bear!” Law snapped from the inside of the infirmary.

“It’s fine~! Come see her!” Luffy called, completely ignoring Law.

The two crews exchanged glances, all of them hesitating to move at first but then Ikkaku sighed and got up. “Cowards,” she shot with a smirk before reaching for the door handle, opening the door and walking inside like nothing was wrong.

“Now she acts all cocky but when it was just the Captain threatening us…” Clione grumbled only to receive general hums of agreement.

But, with the spell broken, everyone slowly shuffled into the infirmary to meet the 'Pirate Princeling (gender neutral)', as Big News Morgans had dubbed her.

Was that going to be 'Pirate Princess' now?

Sanji took a deep breath, preparing himself—he wasn’t even sure what for. He didn’t fight it when Zoro grabbed his hand to pull him inside the room with everyone.

By the time they got there, a crowd was already gathered around the bed, all of them cooing and giggling as they greeted their youngest crew member, everyone pushing at each other to get the better view. It was so crowded in fact, that Sanji couldn’t see a thing.

“My, she is quite adorable,” Robin whilpered, a soft smile on her face.

“Yeah, thank god she looks nothing like the Captain,” Shachi mumbled—unfortunately for him, not quiet enough for the parents to not hear him, as proven by the swift kick he received in response, as well as Luffy’s laughter.

Nami sighed. “How the hell are you both so full of energy? I feel like I’m more exhausted than the two of you combined and I was just waiting out there, not giving birth or watching my partner do that…” she groaned as she rubbed at her face tiredly while everyone else nodded.

“Eh, it wasn’t that bad,” Luffy said with a cute little frown before he glanced at Law. “Right?”

“Yeah, we’ve had worse in a fight than this.” Law shrugged, making everyone exchange a glance.

“You’re both freaks,” Usopp decided before his tone completely changed, turning into the sweetest, most obnoxious voice Sanji had ever heard. “Little Ola, are you hearing this? Your dads are freaks. At least you are cute.”

Sanji bit back a snort. He had to wonder whatever had happened to ‘this kid will be a monster!’ which had been the only thing that Sanji had heard from the sniper in regards to the child since they were told she was on the way. Just how easy was Usopp to sell?

Because Sanji, as happy as he was for his captain and for Torao, still remembered and dreaded what she was going to grow up into. A bottomless pit who ate nothing but tuna-mayo onigiri? Did she have any idea how much work that was going to be?

No. No way Sanji was weak enough to just ignore that.

“Sanji-kun, stop hanging out in the back and come look!” Nami said, waving him over almost… excitedly.

Ah, Sanji really was left alone with his fears, wasn’t he? But he could forgive Nami at least.

“Yes, Nami-san!” he called, his lips curling into a wide smile as he skipped over to their navigator’s side.

“So whipped,” Zoro said with badly suppressed amusement.

Sanji clicked his tongue, reminding himself they were currently in the infirmary with a newborn baby, and that Chopper would cry if they started fighting. Settling to only shooting his so-called boyfriend the dirtiest glare he could manage, Sanji quickly turned his attention back to the matter at hand.

Making his way through the huddle of people, he took in the sight that was the patient’s bed. Luffy and Torao were both sitting on it as if they had just come out for tea and cookies—Luffy was sitting cross-legged on the covers, grinning like the idiot he was with his chin resting against Law’s knee where he had it pulled up. Law let him; he himself played absentmindedly with Luffy’s fingers but he also looked almost bored and ready to get up and leave, just to get some peace and quiet.

If Sanji didn’t know what they had been doing in here up until a few minutes ago, he would have thought they had just walked in on them playing cards with Chopper.

Truly freaks of nature, the both of them.

Sanji huffed, his eyes dropping to where Ikkaku was now cradling the kid in her arms.

He studied her tiny face, round and red, the shape of it so close to Luffy’s that he startled. She looked so comfortable all bundled up in her blanket, resting against the crook of Ikakku’s elbow, her tiny fist curled around Hakugan’s little finger and holding it close. She looked so fragile…

Ah.

He got it now.

And he didn’t care how much she was going to eat anymore.

“So your name is Ola?” Sanji asked as a soft smile pulled on his lips. Placing his right hand over his heart, Sanji bowed deeply. “It’s a pleasure, Princess.”

I have so many questions about your lawlu childeren, I love them 😭❤️

What does Ola usually write? 👀 (somehow I can see her writing the weirdest stuff no matter the genre xD)

And is Taiga's garden more flowery or more vegetable/herb/Usopp type garden?

And the golden question, how did the crews react when they first found out there's going to be a baby around and worse, that it's going to a mini Lawlu mix? There are so many ways I can imagine that going and I need to know how it actually went xD

AAAHHH thank you so much, I'm really glad! 🥺💜 I love talking about them, these questions are making me vibrate:

1 - What does Ola usually write?

She has a preference for fantasy and sci-fi, and you're absolutely correct, it's always weird. The kind of weird where you're not sure if it's pure surrealism or if you just don't get it because you're dumb.

Law seems to get it though, he says her writing is "deeply allegorical and profound, a reflection of human nature through a distorting mirror." Whatever that's supposed to mean. He's proud.

2 - What kind of garden does Taiga keep?

Flowery garden! He grows some herbs and fruit trees too, but it's mostly flowers, vines, cacti, etc. He's very dedicated to his plants, it's a huge tragedy whenever something bad happens to one of them (which is not very often, because he's extremely careful).

He never kills the bugs though. If they are damaging the plants, he takes them somewhere else and feeds them (sometimes he ends up keeping them too).

3 - How did the crews react to lawlu having a baby?

There were mixed reactions for sure. The Heart pirates were shocked at first, and definitely a little worried, but overall just very happy for Law. All of them wanted to be "the cool uncle/auntie" and couldn't wait to spoil the baby (everyone was jealous of Bepo once Ola was born, because he was very obviously the favorite).

The Strawhats, on the other hand... they know Luffy enough to know there are things to be very worried about. Well, at least some of them were worried. Robin and Zoro were just like "omg congrats :)", Franky got "SUUUUUPER" emotional, but I can see Nami, Sanji and Usopp having some kind of "emergency meeting" about the news:

Usopp: Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them—a litte weirded out, yes, but happy—but, guys... A human being that's half Luffy and half Trafalgar Law? I can't be the only one who thinks this is a dangerous idea. That baby is going to be terrifying.

Sanji: Oh my god, what if the baby eats as much as Luffy?! What's going to happen to me?!

Nami: Guys, calm down, this is important! Our mission is to be positive role-models for the baby once it's born. That way, we can maybe mitigate the effects of the Trafal-Luffy genes. The child can still be normal if we try hard enough.

But once Ola is born, their only concern is "protect Pirate Princess!" The child did not, in fact, turn out normal at all, but they all still love her (and Taiga!) to death.

Princess Monster: Extra

For @cosmicatta!! All credits for this AU and Monkey D. Ola go to her! (Please check out her amazing art and fics <33)

Here we go, an extra fluffy, very lawlu extra to the main story <3

As before, KEEP IN MIND this story contains MPREG (mostly implied in this one and you are still more than welcome to use your imagination!)

[ Read on AO3 | Main story | Ko-Fi ]

----------

By the time Chopper finally managed to force everyone out of the room to get the new parents and Ola some peace and quiet, Law had to say he was goddamn exhausted.

And it wasn’t because they had survived the birth of a whole new human just hours before.

“Torao, are you okay?” Luffy asked, poking Law’s side when he didn’t immediately react.

“I feel a headache coming,” Law groaned finally. “And stop poking me.”

Luffy laughed quietly. “Sorry. But you know…” he trailed off, making Law look at him questioningly—and he startled at the look Luffy was giving him. There was a soft smile on his face and his eyes carried so much warmth and love that Law wasn’t sure what to do with it, what to do with himself.

Thankfully, Luffy didn’t give him time to dwell on it when his face split into the widest, brightest grin and he continued, “You look really happy.”

Law blinked, staring at Luffy for a moment but then he clicked his tongue and turned away. Inadvertently, his eyes fell on the crib next to the bed; on the tiny human who was sleeping there soundly, completely unaware and uncaring of the loud party that was already going on on the Sunny’s deck.

“Shut up, Straw Hat-ya,” he said finally, but he couldn’t fight the smile that pulled on his lips.

If Luffy noticed, he didn’t say anything. He only snickered, shuffling closer to Law; so much closer that he was basically sitting on Law’s lap as he snuggled into his side, with Law’s hand automatically going around his shoulders to pull him closer. 

They were quiet for a moment, both simply watching Ola as she squirmed a little bit before settling into her blanket once more, not waking up.

“She’s so cute, Torao,” Luffy said then.

Law hummed in agreement. “She really is. For now. We’ll see what we think at 3 in the morning a week from now.”

“Torao, why would you say that?! And you always tell me not to ruin the moment,” Luffy huffed, trying to sound scolding but betrayed by the way his voice shook with amusement.

“I’m just saying.” Law shrugged, a smile of his own on his face as he pressed a kiss to Luffy’s temple.

“Would you want another one?” Luffy asked quietly, his voice full of innocent wonder and Law groaned.

“Seriously? Straw Hat-ya, she was literally just born,” he replied.

At that, Luffy giggled, the sound light and happy and so very sweet. Yeah, Law was still in love with this idiot…

Which didn’t mean he wanted to think about having another child right now.

“Okay, okay! I get it.” Luffy laughed, pulling himself away from Law. “I’m hungry, I’m getting something to eat.”

Law hummed noncommittally, glancing at Luffy while he stretched his achy body. And when Luffy leaned in, Law saw no reason not to oblige him. Smiling into the kiss, Law had to wonder how the hell did they even get to this point. It seemed like a month ago that they met again on Punk Hazard and now they were here, kissing in bed while their newborn daughter slept in her crib.

It was honestly kind of insane.

“I’ll be right back,” Luffy announced once they separated, pressing one last quick peck on Law’s lips.

And then he was gone, lured away by his growling stomach and Law sighed, closing his eyes momentarily and taking a deep breath; the sudden quiet was strange, but welcome—how long would it last? He was sure Ola was going to wake up soon…

Suddenly, the door burst open again.

Law stared with wide eyes at Luffy, who was standing in the door with stars in his eyes and drool on his lips while he panted lightly. “Torao!! Sanji’s making barbeque!! What do you want?!”

Law huffed; of course it was about meat.

“Doesn’t really matter,” he replied with amusement as his lips curled into a smirk. “You’re going to eat it all anyway.”

“Will not!” Luffy cried in protest before slapping a hand over his mouth, his eyes turning to Ola to check if he didn’t wake her up. Law was almost proud of him for that.

“Sure.” Law laughed and shook his head. “Just bring me whatever, I’m starving. Also coffee.”

“Okay~” Luffy drew out. “What should I get Ola though?”

Law blinked. He stared at Luffy blankly for a moment—he hoped Luffy would somehow understand exactly what Law was thinking in that moment. But he supposed that was too much to hope for when his opponent was Luffy.

Luffy, who was only looking at him with an innocent, completely honest look on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Law willed his voice to stay as calm as he could make it when he finally opened his mouth. “Don’t you dare feed her any meat. We’ve been over this.”

Luffy tilted his head to the side with a pout. “But she can’t get strong without meat…”

“She’s not even a day old,” Law dead-panned. “Try it and I’ll cut your dick off.”

“Fine~” His pout only grew larger and he didn’t look convinced in the least but Law didn’t have the willpower to care anymore.He was going to watch him though.

[cosmicatta]

wait, does Sora fight women? since she got the sanji gene, is she also adapting Sanji's philosophy or does she not care who the person is once they cross the line?

also i know you said Law wants frobin son as far away from Taiga as possible but what is the general stance on Sora? 👀

Oh these are such juicy questions ✨👀 I'll tackle them separately:

Does Sora fight women?

She does. She is a lot more reluctant to start a fight with another woman (and usually it's men who actually piss her off), but if things get serious, she can activate "battle mode" and become imperturbable.

After all, she'd hate it if her rivals held back or refused to fight her just because she's a woman. Even if Sora gets a little silly around pretty girls, when it comes to battles and honor, she always follows Zoro's advice: "if you respect your opponent, you will give your 100% in every fight."

How does Law feel about Sora?

Overall, he thinks the girl is pretty much harmless, endearing even. If she can barely hold a conversation with his daughter without stuttering every 3 words, it doesn't look like she's going to be much of a threat. "Ola can handle a loser," he thinks.

Besides, he sees how Sora looks at his little gremlin. It's different from how she looks at any other girl. But he'll let them figure it out by themselves.

[cosmicatta]

does Ola know Sora is crushing so hard on her or is she so used to it since childhood that she's like "this is normal"? considering who Ola's parents are, I can see it going either way 😂

This is a very good question, thank you for asking! 👁

It's complicated. Ola isn't stupid, she knows Sora likes her, it's obvious: the ridiculous stutter, the deep blush, the high pitched voice when she gets embarrassed, the awkward compliments...

But the catch is: isn't Sora just like that with all cute girls? I mean, Ola enjoys the attention, but she's aware that she isn't special... right?

Ola is certain that she could have Sora at the snap of a finger, it would be so easy. But she doesn't want to be "just another girl she likes," she wants to be the girl she likes.

If only she knew...

If only she noticed how Sora's eyes will always look for her in a room full of beautiful women.
