Marco, Law, Thatch, Usopp headcanon- non-devil fruit phoenix S/O imprints on them
•~•~•~•
Warnings: none
Definition of what I mean by imprint: it’s like love at first sight, it means the phoenix will do anything snd everything it it’s power to protect the person it imprints on. The phoenix always has the need to be near the chosen person, sleeping, sitting, etc. The phoenix protects this person with its life. So basically like an intense love at first sight thing that non-devil fruit phoenixes have.
Marco
•Marco would be fascinated by the natural love instinct that non-devil fruit phoenixs have, seeing as he doesn’t experience it himself
•Wants to learn more
•Worried about the “protects this person with its life like thing because he doesn’t want you to lose your life because of him
•Takes this as a huge compliment and feels immensely flattered
•Now understands why you always seem to be around him not only in battle, but just throughout the whole day
•Will show more PDA now that he has an extremely good reason
•Brags to Ace and Thatch
•Says that he’ll protect you the same way you protect him
•Says he’s “imprinted” on you too
Thatch
•Brags
•Also confused at first until he does some research about what exactly you imprinting on him means
•Flattered
•Very honored
•Skeptical about the “protects with life” because he too would never want to be the cause of your death
•Becomes a lot more touchy
•Has you sleep with him in phoenix and human form, whichever one you’re in
•More cuddly
•Always feels pride when someone mentions you or whenever you perch on his shoulder
•Let’s you sit on his shoulder or top of his head
•Teases you
•Trusts you more- he did trust you a lot before though
Law
•Confused
•Doss research on what imprinting means for a phoenix
•Flustered, blushing 1000%
•Worried that he’ll be the reason you get killed
•Will let you be more touchy with him now that he understands it’s like an instinct for you
•Let’s you sleep in his room everynight, let’s you perch on his shoulder whenever your in phoenix form
•Let’s you follow him everywhere and secretly loves it- he lets you sit on his shoulder while he works or on the shelves
•He also takes this as a major compliment
•He makes sure to watch you in battle and protect you as well
Usopp
•Confused
•Ego boost
•Intrigued, very curious to learn more
•Has you explain it to him just so he can hear how important he is to you
