Donquixote Rosinante 'Corazon' with a Monster Hunter s/o
Decided to take a crack at One Piece for this one using some Monster Hunter. You don't need to know much about Monster Hunter, if anything from this genre comes up I'll help fill in the holes at the bottom. Can be read as Gender Neutral or preferred gender.
You met Corazon during a quest at the mountainous Arctic Ridge. It was a simple mission of gathering herbs and ore. You weren't alone with your monster pal tagging along: a Goss Harag.
Now imagine your surprise seeing a very tall man bleeding out on top the snow covered peak. The sight being enough to cut your mission short and help the poor bloke.
Quickly treating his injuries, your large snow oni beast pal quickly gotten the both of you down the mountain safely.
Your quarry didn't wake up until the next day once he had been taken back to your warm hut in the wilderness.
He seemed taken aback that he was alive than where he was. The man introduced himself as 'Corazon' and told his part of the story.
Hearing that his own brother shot him dead and might be from a different world had been jarring but you were kind enough to fill him in on his new situation. Especially considering your Goss Harag poked their head through the window and scared the man shitless.
Once you explained to him about the basics of your world and what a monster hunter was, Corazon wished to help you out. Both out of curiosity and for saving his life.
He'd admit he was honestly shocked that he still retain his Calm-Calm Fruit powers. A good boon when it came to quests that silence was needed the most. The monsters of your world could give even Marine Admirals a run for their money.
Corazon learned quite a lot about you over a short time thanks to his experience as a spy. You were an oddity capable of communicating and befriending monsters. Most of your weapons and armor were crafted from materials gifted by the various beasts you bonded with.
He was absolutely dumbfounded seeing a large dragon like beast pluck a few of its scales to give to you or your world's equivalent of a Lapin traded part of its catch with ya.
That kindness had no bounds. You always made sure he was comfortable and felt safe. His clumsiness wasn't something you didn't mind and often tend to any injuries he got.
Remodeling the house and furniture to suit his much taller frame. Made him clothes that not only fit him but also made it harder to damage. Corazon never felt properly pampered before. Especially out of willingness considering his bloodline.
Despite their intimidating appearance, your Goss Harag was a big sweetheart. The large beast often snuggling next to him to keep cool against the blistering heat. Corazon had been on the receiving end of the Snow Oni Beast's grooming sessions.
It taken time for him to realize that he had feelings for you. So one day, Corazon went out on a solo quest of his own without your knowledge.
When he'd came back with his harsh burns, you nearly had a heart attack. Especially when the blonde said about fighting a red winged lion with horns, Corazon had picked a fight with a bloody Elder Dragon: Teostra.
You were ready to scold him when he handed you something. It was a necklace with the most beautiful gem inside: a ruby peppered with fiery orange sparkles inside, a Teostra Gem.
It was here that Corazon told you his true feelings. You whacked him on the head at first but you did admit that you felt the same way.
He did get scolded and a grooming session from your Goss Harag but the man didn't regret his impromptu mission.
And that's it. Nearly every anime fan has their own favorite clown man, most having Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter. I never really had one until One Piece introduced Corazon. I love this big blonde klutz of an assassin and felt so robbed with his death. Fuck you Donflamingo.
If you guys are wondering, yes this is set after Corazon gave his life to save Law. There probably be a few more of these in the future. Until next time folks, have some info.
