No way! Luffy has a Wife?!
Monkey D. Luffy x Wife!Reader
Summary: an amalgamation of many requests on others finding out Luffy is married.
A/n: Thanks @matronofthevoid for the prompt of Boa Hancock and to the other anonymous DM’s requesting others
Part VII
After a few weeks of Monkey Y/n’s Wanted posters circulating, the world government has issued a retraction after being unable to locate the marriage certificate of Luffy and Y/n.
The marines have since issued new Wanted posters, removing the family name ‘Monkey’ followed by the following description.
‘Y/n, Wanted Dead or Alive for 200 million berries after assaulting a marine officer for insulting childhood friend Monkey D. Luffy. The bounty has been increased as Y/n is confirmed to be an official member of the strawhat pirates after eye-witness testify Y/n claiming allegiance to the strawhat captain in wholecake Island. The World Government would also like to retract any claims or statements of the marriage between the pair due to lack of evidence to support claim.’
Whilst it true the new posters and description have been issued- not everyone has received the new news.
Shanks - Receiving the original poster
“Hey captain! Check this out!” Yassop howls in laughter with Lucky Roux, throwing a newly issued bounty down into their captains lap.
Wanted Dead or Alive. Monkey. Y/n. 100m berries.
Shanks eyes widen slightly at the name.
“Luffy’s a grown man now, wife and all…” Shanks mutters, his eyes shining with pride before quickly faltering to horror. “That little twerp got married and didn’t even invite me?! Can you believe that?!”
Silvers Rayleigh - Receiving the original poster
Shakuyaku smirks down at the news paper below her, taking a good long drag from the cigarette sitting loosely between her fingers.
“What’s got you smiling like that?” Rayleigh steals a glance at the papers. “Well would you look at that… the boys not completely hopeless after all.”
Boa Hancock - Receives the new posters
As all of the Kuja warriors suspected. Their beautiful loving Empress has been bedridden for weeks.
The wanted poster…
The description of Luffy’s marital status…
It was all far too much for the tender hearted empress.
But as soon as Gloriosa received the newest issue, she figuratively bolted to the empresses bed chamber. “I’ve come bearing great news!” Gloriosa announces, pulling the blanket off of the rotting figure that is Boa Hancock.
He matted hair remains tangled, her swollen eyes pinching together tighter at the exposure of light. “Leave at once you old hag! Leave me to my suffering!” Hancock wails, pulling weakly at the bedcovers.
“He isn’t married!” Gloriosa announces as Hancock sits up rapidly. “Luffy! He isn’t married- it was just a false report! They’re only childhood friends!” The angelic expression that follow was so blindingly beautiful, Gloriosa’s memory lapsed at the beauty that is her Empress.
“Luffy my love! I knew it! You shall be mine! No woman is qualified for his affections!” Hancock swoons.
Monkey D. Garp - Receives the new poster
“See Koby?! I knew it wasn’t true!” Helmeppo scrutinises the posters hung up on the wall.
‘Y/n Wanted Dead or Alive’
Koby shrugs indifferently. Whilst it might be true Luffy and Y/n aren’t married, is it really so crazy to believe Luffy has romantic interests? Well according to Helmeppo, such a statement is ridiculous.
“What are you two bickering about now?” Garp grumbles, shoving his hand into the bucket of popcorn and into his mouth by the fist fulls.
“Sir- you would know more than that Luffy couldn’t possibly be married.” Helmeppo guestures to Y/n’s new poster.
There was a moment of silence before Garp dropped his bucket of popcorn to the floor, snatching the poster as his eyes widen in horror. “Huh?! So that little brat went and became a pirate after all?! Does anyone listen to me?! First Ace, then my idiot grandson and now my angel?!” Storming to his desk, Garp continues to mutter to himself under his breath, riffling through the papers until he is able to extract a report pertaining to your bounty from the pile.
You were Garp’s one saving grace.
The one and only rambunctious child that didn’t go over to the dark side, but based off the report- it’s still his idiot grandsons fault.
If he didn’t become a pirate then you wouldn’t have gained a wanted poster defending his honour like the noble angel you are.
“Sir - you would know more than anyone. Is Luffy and Y/n married or not?” Koby asks, only for Garps eyes to remain dark and downcast in angst.
“Unofficially.” He mutters only for Helmeppo to cringe at the confirmation.
“So it’s true then?! Strawhat really does have a wife?!” Helmeppo shouts in horror, needing desperately for Garp to tell him the honest truth.
“Huh?” Garp picks his nose mindlessly as he thinks back. “That idiot has been claiming they’ve been married for years… guess he just finally wore her down.”
Bartolomeo - Receives the new poster
“And Y/n defended Sir Luffy by knocking that filthy marine out in one hard punch!” Bartolomeo praises, dabbing a moist tissue to his eyes. “It’s just so beautiful! Sir Luffy deserves nothing less than a devoted wife to defend his honour.” Bartolomeo throws himself onto the floor as he continues to sob hysterically. “And - to think- they’re childhood friends! Truely a romantic story for the ages!”
The crew begin to cry in unison. “How can people deny their marriage?!” Some sobbing crewman questions, blowing his nose into his own shirt.
“They don’t need no stink’in piece of paper! We will help sir Luffy by spreading their grand love story far and wide for all to hear!”
Y/n - Receives the new poster
“Hey have you guys seen Y/n?” Luffy questions, scratching his head absentmindedly.
Zoro points lazily towards the head of the Thousand Sunny where you appear to be sitting glumly. You begin to make the face you always do when you are sad.
“I’m sorry Luffy- I didn’t mean to upset her.” Chopper mutters sadly. But Zoro only drops his heavy hand on Choppers head. “Y/n’s bounty went up, I went to show her, but then she got really upset.“ Chopper holds up the newly issued Wanted poster of Y/n.
“Hey it’s not your fault, all you did was show her the new poster.” Zoro reassures but Choppers shoulders sink further.
Luffy snatches Nami’s pen from her hand and begins to scribble on the Wanted poster.
“Luffy! What the hell-“ Luffy tosses the pen back on the table and stalks back off towards his gloomy wife.
“Oi! Have you seen your new wanted poster? Looks like your bounty went up since you’re officially in my crew now.” Luffy announces ecstatically, shoving the wrinkly paper into your hands.
You begin to slouch into yourself. You knew it was silly but it was heart wrenching to finally have a family name only of it to be taken at a moments notice. ‘Monkey’ was not a last name you even earnt. But even so, it was nice to feeling like you belonged somewhere.
“Yeah, what about it?“ Your voice shrivels up on the spot.
Looking down at the wanted poster you see your name haphazardly scribbled ‘Monkey Y/n’
Tears threatened to well-up. Without you even admitting out loud - Luffy somehow knew exactly what upset you and how to fix it. “You’re so dumb sometimes ya’know?” Luffy states rhetorically, which only makes you begin to boom with laughter. “How many more times do I have to remind you? You’re my wife. You don’t need some piece of paper to give you a last name. Because I already gave you my last name.” You begin to grin at your sweet loveable doofus. “But if you need a piece of paper, then take that. I wrote it myself and everything- Kay?” He asks only for you to spring on top of Luffy, pulling him into a lethal tight hug.
