I see the luffy profile pic and i need to ask... do you have any one piece whump fic recs? Especially if it's luffy centered, but i'll take anything if it''s strawhat pirates focused. I have a severe whump deficiency 🙏❤️🩹
Yeah, I might have... a few....................
Sorry it took me so long to respond! Here's what I was able to easily find in my bookmarks. This is a mix of whump and angst.
I will be careful not to spoil things from Whole Cake Island or later but anything before that I'm not going to be vague about.
As always with these things read the tags.

Who We Were Meant to Be by DeedeeWrites
A Marine Luffy AU that hits hard. Mostly really angsty but with humor moments and whump moments. "But Luffy would never be a marine!" I hear you say. Correct! Luffy would have to be under some severe duress to ever be a marine, wouldn't he.
