Zoro watched him take the pup into the kitchen after eating. They were both on birth control, (he needed to start putting the gel again, he hadn't been able to because he had been tied to a pole) but he inner alpha enjoyed watching their mate with a pup way too much. It didn't matter that neither of them were ready for a pup. He still longed to see his husband with a pup of their own. To watch him grow round with thire own mini me, who would they look like most? Would they have Zoro hair or sanjis? Blue or gray eyes? The curly eyebrows? Zoro shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts.
“How long have the two of you been married?” The beta Sanji worked for asked.
“About a month,” Zoro had spent nine of those days away from his husband.
“Who proposed?”
“I did, I saved up for a pair of earrings for Sanji, I meant to do something nice but when I went to visit with a couple of friends I just proposed on the spot when I saw him again,” Zeff had been pissed, but Sanji had said yes…after kicking him that is. He didn't even ask the old geezer for Love-cooks hand…not that the blond cared but Zeff sure as shit did.
“That is so sweet! Ahh, young love,” She shifted and placed her hand on her cheek. “I remember when Misao and I got married. He was so handsome and kind. He was a marine one day he had to leave us and I haven't seen him since,”
Zoro wasn't sure what to say to that, and luckily, he didn't have to, Sanji and Rika had returned.
“Mom guess what! I made some new things! I made one with starbrry on top, and sanji helped me make a mango sticky one! You have to try them!”
“Ooo I can't wait to try them,”

Koby walked with the rest of the Marines down to where the houseboat was docked. He had intended to go alone, but that hadn't worked out. He just hoped that a fight wasn't about to break out. These Marines stood no chance, but his chance of joining would vanish.
He spotted them, the kind women who had fed them and her young daughter saying their goodbyes, hugging Zoro and Sanji. Luffy sat atop the houseboat watching. Thire sails were unfurled, and the only thing left to do was untie the boat. The women and the pup stepped off the boat, Koby watched Zoro untie it.
Everyone lined up, Jeremy and himself standing in the front. Koby saluted them as they began to sail away.
“Thank you very much!” Koby shouted. “I will never forget you for the rest of my life!” Koby owed Luffy everything. He wanted to be confident like Luffy, steadfast like Zoro, and strong like Sanji.
“I've never seen a marine salute a pirate before,” Zoro muttered.
“I've seen a marine salute a pirate, I'm still traumatized,” Sanji remarked.
“Koby! We'll meet again someday!”Luffy waved and shouted back.
“Group salute!” Jeremy yelled next to him. Everyone saluted as Luffy and his new crew sailed away. “You have great friends,”
“Yes sir!”
“We have just saluted pirates and violated marine code! So the punishment will be no food for a week!”
“What are you?” Zoro found himself asking his new captain.
“I am a rubber man!” Luffy stated pourdly his leg was still lifted.
“So you can't swim?” His husband asked with sadness in his voice. The seas and everything in it was one of Sanji's favorite things in the world. That man would never willingly choose to eat a devil fruit.
“Never learned how! Soooo can't miss what cha never knew!”
Zoro could hear the marines muttering to themselves on the ground, but he paid them no mind. They were all weak and no match for any of them.
“Get a gun and kill yourselves!! I don't need useless soldiers!! That's an order!” The asshole who ruled over this town with an iron ax shouted his orders. Zoro watches in horror as the soldiers turn their guns on themselves.
“What the hell do these Marines think they're doing?!” Zoro shouted in alarm.
“Stop! It's not worth your lives!” He heard Sanji join in the alarm.
“I am the marines worst nightmare! IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS, THEN EXECUTE ME!!” Luffy yelled as he ran for Axe hand Morgan, his fist raised.
The man blocked Luffy's attacks with his ax hand. “People like you without any status have no right to oppose me! I am marine lieutenant axe-hand Morgan!” The Marine yelled.
“I'm Luffy. Nice meet you, I'm still gonna kick your ass,”
<>
Koby watched as Luffy beat up the marine Lieutenant, and Luffy was winning! They were all saved! Then he heard the click of a gun. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the other blonde omega, Helempo, pointing a gun at his head.
“Wait!” Helempo screamed as Luffy continued to beat up Axe-hand Morgan. “You idiot I told you to wait!” Luffy finally turned to look. “if you want this shrimp boy to live, then don't move a muscle! If anyone moves, I'll shoot!”
“Luffy! I…I don't want to be a burden! I don't wana get in your way…I not afraid of death!” Koby conffased to Luffy the one who had saved him, the ome who had given him the courage to stand up to Alivda. He had already been shot and lived. He wouldn't be that lucky again…would he?
“Okay..I know!” Luffy smiled at him. If that was the last this Koby ever saw, he'd die a happy man.
Everything seemed to happen at once, yet still in slow motion. Luffy readied himself to hit Hellempo just as Axe-hand Morgan made his move. Zoro headed for Morgan, all the while Hellempo screamed his ear when it all stopped. Before Luffys fist could connect, before Morgan could hurt Luffy. The married couple srung into action. Zoro had cut Morgan while Sanji had kicked Helempo in the face.
“That's for throwing a child over a wall,” Sanji kicked him again, Koby swore he heard bones break. “That's for hurting and tormenting MY husband!” Koby watched as blue petals contuied to rain down from Sanji. He was an avenging angel come to save him once again.
Sanji kicked the marines aiming at his husband and the little pink haired omega with their guns. He thought things were going to well when Ax-hand Morgan showed up with more Marines and guns.
“Sanji! Run! Please run!” Zoro yelled, Sanji did run. He ran towards him. He wasn't going to just leave his husband here to die. They would die together. But perhaps thire was another way.
“No, I won't leave you,” Sanji placed his hands on Zoro's cheeks and his forehead against Zoro's. His was dimly aware of the other omega shuffling closer to them.
“Please you have to! Take Kuina’s sword and find your All blue, try to become the greatest swordsmen for me and for her!” Zoro's cheeks were wet with his tears. “Live!”
“You know I can’t give you that… anything but that” he whispers begging for another way. It was better him then them, he had only just met the young omega but still that was a fact. “Besides, if one of us is meant to die it should be me..” he cradles both his husband and the pink haired boy’s forms. He wasn’t big enough to take the full assault of bullets about to shower into his pale skin but he prayed to his mother, to all the seas, it was enough to save these two as his last wish before death. He wasn't strong enough in Aramnet to coat every inch of his skin. Zoro was too weak from lack of proper nutrition to use it.
“Fire!” Before the bluttes could tear therw his skin, he heard the crash of glass and two new people, familler people joined them here in the yard. Sanji turned his head to watch as the alpha in the Starwhat spreading his arms wide, porcting them."
“Luffy!” The small omega cried out for his friend before passing out, hanging limply in his arms.
“It's no use!” The alpha laughed as he repelled the bullets with his body. He contuied to laugh as the marines screamed and ducked for cover.
“what kinda human are you?” Zoro asked bewildered, Sanji didn't know he could do that!
“I'm the one who will become the king of the pirates,” The young alpha turned his head and gave them a wide grin. “Sanji! You're here too!” Luffy tuned the rest of his body and held Zoros swords out. “I bought swords! I didn't know which one was yours, though,”
“All of them,” Sanji replied at the same time his Moss did.
“I use three sword style,”
“Stay here and be killed or come with me!”
“Only if my husband can come,”
“I already asked him!”
“And I never said yes!”
“So Curls shall we die together or become pirates like your old man?” Zoro asked him.
“Fine,” Sanji sighed. “It's not much of a choice, to be honest, but it's better than dying here,” Sanji took the swords from Luffy's hands and cut his husband free.
Zoro watched Sanji take the pup into the kitchen after he was finished eating. They were both on birth control (he needed to start putting the gel on again now that he was free) but his inner alpha enjoyed watching his mate with a pup way too much. It didn't matter that neither of them were ready for a pup, he still longed to see his husband with a pup of their own. To watch him grow round with their own mini me, who would they look like most? Would they have Zoro hair or Sanjis? Blue or gray eyes? Curly eyebrows? Boy or girl? Would they want to cook like Sanji or fight with swords? Or something new entirely. He knew he would kill Judge to keep them safe from his twisted experiments. Zoro shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts.
“How long have the two of you been married?” The beta women Sanji had worked for asked.
“About a month.” Zoro had spent nine of those days away from his husband. Damn marines ruining his first month of marriage, he didn't regret saving the pup.
“Who proposed?” She asked him.
“I did." Zoro said, his eyes drifted over Luffy’s empty ears. “I saved up for a pair of earrings for Sanji. That was what we had agreed on, we exchanged earnings during the wedding. I meant to do something nice, I had no idea what, though. I threw all of my plans out the window when I went to visit with a couple of bounty hunter friends, I saw him and just proposed on the spot. I couldn't resist dropping to my knees in front of him, and asking if he would have my back forever.”
Zeff had been pissed, but Sanji had said yes…after kicking him that is. He didn't even ask the old geezer for Love-cooks hand…not that the blond cared but Zeff sure as shit did. The old geezer had given him so many fucking death glares while the other chefs kept cornering him and giving him the shovel talk.
“That is so sweet! Ahh young love." She shifted and placed her hand on her cheek. “I remember when Misao and I got married. He was so handsome and kind. He was a marine and one day he had to leave us and I haven't seen him since."
Zoro wasn't sure what to say to that and luckily he didn't have to, Sanji and Rika had returned.
“Mom, guess what! I made some new things! I made one with strawberry on top and Sanji helped me make a mango sticky one! You have to try them!”
“Oh, can't wait to try them."
Koby walked to where the houseboat was docked, he had intended to go alone but as he walked more Marines seemed to fall in step. He just hoped that a fight wasn't about to break out, these Marines stood no chance against the trio but his chance of joining would vanish before his eyes if he didn’t fight. What would he do if that happened? Luffy hadn't asked him to join his crew and he didn't want to be a pirate again, even if he wouldn't be locked up.
He spotted the girl who had tried to feed Zoro and her mother who ran the bar saying their goodbyes and hugging Sanji. Luffy sat atop the cabin watching the exchange. Their sails were set and the only thing left to do was untie the boat. The women and the pup stepped off the boat, Koby heard the splash of rope hitting the water and watched Zoro kick off from the dock.
Everyone lined up, Jeremy and himself standing in the front. Koby saluted them as they began to sail away.
“Thank you very much!” Koby shouted. “I will never forget you for the rest of my life!” Koby owed Luffy everything. He wanted to be confident like Luffy, steadfast like Zoro, and strong like Sanji.
“Never seen a marine salute a pirate before." Zoro muttered to his husband.
“I have and I'm still traumatized."
“Koby! We'll meet again someday!”Luffy waved and shouted back.
“Company, Salute!” Jeremy yelled next to him, everyone saluted as Luffy and his new crew sailed away. “You have great friends."
“Yes Sir!”
“We have just saluted pirates and violated Marine code! Punishment will be no food for a week!”
“Yes Sir!”
Koby continued to watch them sail away, knowing in his heart he would see Luffy again one day.
This was it, this was where they had to part ways. Luffy had saved him and made him realize how much his dreams meant to him. He hated that Luffy would leave him, that they would become enemies.
“Im…not…not,” Koby found himself stuttering. Why couldn't he have the confidence that the three sitting at the table had!? This was his dream slipping through his fingers. “I'm not with them!!” Koby screamed, standing up.
“Is he telling the truth?” The marine asked Luffy.
“I know what this guy used to do,” Luffy stood up as well.
“Luffy?” Koby was panicking. What was Luffy gonna say?
“I can't remember where, but,” Luffy used his arms to mimic someone fat. “He used to be with this fatttt lady pirate…” Luffy waddled around. “I think her name was Albida,”
“Stop,” No, no, no, if the marines knew he worked on a pirate ship, they would never ever let him join. “Stop talking, please stop,”
“Super fat lady pirate! He worked on her ship for two whole years!” Luffy started to poke him. “SHUT UP!” Something inside of him just snapped. He punched Luffy in the face, knocking his hat off of him.
“You! You deserve a beating!!” Luffy punched him back. “Damn you! You deserve a beatdown!”
“Stop it! Both of you! I won't allow this town to get in any more fights!” The marine yelled as Koby lay on the floor as Zoro pulled Luffy back.
“Stop it! You went overboard!” Zoro scolded Luffy.
“I know he isn't your friend! Please leave this women's bar immediately!” Koby sat up from where he has been knocked back and watched as they began to leave. He couldn't believe what Luffy had done for him. He delbitrly anthzined him, made Koby hit him. Now the Marines wouldn't think him a pirate.
“Oh wait, Sanji, your pay for this week!” The beta women who had fed them called out and rushed over to pay Sanji before he left.
In the end, Koby still needed his help and care. He owed Luffy so much. He had to do whatever he could to earn that care. He was done being useless, done being a cowered and week. If he didn't take this chance, it was all a waste. He would be an imbecile to pass this opportunity up. Koby stood the rest of the way up. He stood in front of the Marine and bowed.
“Please let me join the Marines! Even if it's chores, I'll do them! I'll do anything and everything!!” Koby pleaded his case. Now, it was up to the beta in front of him to decide his fate.
Koby followed after Luffy. He knew exactly where he was going and what he was doing. When he managed to climb over the wall, he stood in front of Zoro, Luffy no were in sight.
“Have you seen my friend Luffy?” He asked the alpha in front of him.
“He took off inside the base,”
“What?! Luffy is inside the back! That marine bace right thire!! Oh no, he's to hot headed! Here, let me get you down from there,” Koby began to untie the alpha.
“Oi! If you help me, you'll be killed! They don't care if you're an omega or not!” Zoro growled at him. He didn't use his alpha voice, so Koby was free to ignore him.
“You shouldn't be here! They never should have arrested you in the first place! I can't stand marines like that! They're supposed to serve and protect the people they serve! I'm going to become a real marine one day! Just like Luffy will become the king of the pirates!”
“What!?” Zoro sounded shocked as Koby worked on the knots. “p pirate king! You're joking. You just gotta be. The pirate king!”
“Yah, I thought the same thing. It's a surprise all right. But that's luffy for ya. He's a hundred percent serious!” All of a sudden, he felt a sharp staring pain in his shoulder, like a hot poker.
He found himself falling back, his glasses flying off his face, and he heard a loud popping sound. A gunshot. He had been shot. Was this the end?
“I'm gonna die!!” Koby screamed. “I'm gonna die a fuliaer!”
“Are you okay? You shuld try and run away thire coming,” Zoro warned him, Koby sat up, clutching his shulder.
“No! I've got to set you free as soon as possible before they get here!”
Thires no need to worry about me, I'll be fine. As long as I can make it a month, they will set me free,” Zoro tried to reaasre him. “Now hurry up and get out of here,”
“They won't let you go!! Helempo lied! He was just messing with you! He is gonna kill you in three days!”
“No! That's nonesse! That bastard promised me! We made a deal! If I could survive for a month, he'd let me go free and not kill Ririka and Rika!”
”He never intended to keep his promise! That's why Luffy punched when he found out! Because Helempo was just toying with you!”
“What? No, I should have listened to Curly,”
“Please after I untie you, help Luffy! I won't force you to become a prairie, but he saved my life. I know if you join forces with him, you'll be able to escape this town safely!” Koby begged of the swords men.
“That's enough! The two of you have betrayed Lieutenant Morgan! You will die here and now!” Lines of men and guns all pointed at the two of them stood in the way of thire freedom.
“Not on my watch!” A different voice came from behind the men as a familiar blonde omega began to kick at the marines.
If Roronoa Zoro was a demon, his husband was an angel. His blond hair was pulled up into a ponytail, and the sun had come out to shine brightly and created a halo around his head. The way he was kicking the marines' guns from their hands and to the ground, he could be nothing other than an avenging angel. Koby wanted to be as strong as the other omega.
Jeremy couldn't believe his luck. He lost every round of rock paper scissors and now he had to tell the pirates that beat up Morgan to leave. He opened the door to the bar with shaking hands, the rest of his fellow Marines behind him.
There at a table was the one who took them out plus the small pink haired one. The rubber man was sitting and staring at the other two. There were rumors that Roronoa Zoro, Demon of the East Blue, was married to an angel. Going by the fact that a blond omega with a halo of dark blue flowers atop his head sat in his lap, the rumors were true. He felt all eyes on him as he cleared his throat.
“We are just wondering if you are indeed pirates?” Jeremy asked, hoping that they were going to say no.
“Yup!” The rubber man in the strawhat beamed. “I just found my first two crewmates!” The young alpha turned his grin towards the couple. “So we're an official crew now!”
“Even though you are pirates, in reality…” Jeremy tipped his hat to the pirates, “you saved our town and base. For that we are grateful. But,” Jeremy wished he could just leave it at that. “Since you are pirates…as Marines we cannot allow you to stay longer. Please leave this place immediately. As for the events that occurred here, we will be reporting it to the headquarters." A ruckus of the civilians outside sounded their protest.
“No, that simply won't work for us." The angel spoke from his seat on his demon husband. “I have a question, which one of you threw a child over the wall?” He spoke, one eyebrow raised in question.
“I'm not sure, but they will be punished." What else could he say?
“And one other question, Zoro, darling." The omega drawled purring the alpha’s name, a shudder went up Jeremy's spine. He had a bad feeling, he knew that they had no chance against the three. “Just how easy was it to cut Morgan?”
“Hmm, oh, sweetheart, you give me far more of a fight on the daily." The alpha looked at the omega as if he was looking at heaven, but when Zoro looked his way gave them a scowl, like he was less the dirt under his shoes. “The rest of them wouldn't stand a chance."
“Now then,” The omega looked back at them, “we three will leave peacefully come morning. Is that alright with you, Captain?”
“Whatever you say, Sanji." Their captain readily agreed, he looked just as starstruck and love sick as the other alpha. Jeremy couldn't blame the alphas, omegas were otherworldly, this one especially. His hair almost glowed in the fading light and his eyes were the color of the sea.
“Now that we have agreed to that, you may leave us." Sanji dismissed them, turning back to his husband.
“What about the pink haired one." Jeremy asked, he had to know. Sanji had said the three of them. Jeremy turned to the much smaller omega. “Aren't you with their group?”
