Barto crushing on a Strawhat reader is already pretty fun, but a Strawhat reader who is terrible at accepting praise?

Just think of our poor dork, raving about how cool and amazing you are, only to be caught off gaurd when you suddenly bolt. He's so confused and heartbroken, thinking he must've done something wrong. But what? Sure, his praising of you was a bit more intense than toward the other members of your crew OTHER THAN MISTAH LUFFY OF COURSE! And maybe his descriptions of your greatness were bit... sweeter and more infatuated sounding... but why did you run like that??

Beating himself up over it despite not knowing what the actual issue is. He's mortified and feels terrible for having made upset you somehow. But every time he tries to approach to apologize, you're gone before he can say anything. He'd use his barrier to try to talk to you, but the butterflies you give him and how distraught he is over the overall situation leaves him unable to even think of activating it.

Finally asking the other Strawhats and it being explained that you always act like this when someone even tries to compliment you; trying to brush it off and withdrawing as you try to hide your embarrassment. Telling him that no matter how much they try to get it through your thick skull, you still never seem to think very highly of yourself or actually believe anyone's praise towards you.

The big goober not understanding because... WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?? YOU'RE SO COOL AND AMAZING!! HOW COULD ANYONE NOT PRAISE AND THINK YOU'RE ANYTHING BUT INCREDIBLE???

The other Strawhats quickly recognizing the crush he has and pushing the two into interactions because you really do need to think better of yourself in general and maybe the Barto brand of affection will help with that. Nami and Usopp also think it's hilarious to see you so flustered by the attention so it's like an endless supply of free entertainment whenever you two interact.

Barto trying to reign in his fanboying tendencies to make you more comfortable but slipping back into them almost every other sentence as he praises you. Making it even worse when he accidentally blurts out how cute you are, even flustered like this. Only to realize what he said as you practically short circuit from his words.

The two of you slowly becoming closer as you yield and accept that your crewmates are clearly bent on you not being able to hide yourself away whenever the energetic, green haired rooster comes around. Gradually realizing the nervousness you feel around him isn't just you being embarrassed by his praise. Coming to terms with the growing affection within you.

Was having such a nice dream before my alarm woke me for work... I was hanging out with Corazon and Law, just sort of tagging along as they journied. It got to a point where we'd set up camp and I got to talking with Cora by the camp fire (making sure he was well out of reach of the flames) we'd set up as Law slept. We were seated next to each other while we chatted, him mostly listening as I opened up about my frustrations/struggles with depression and anxiety flare-ups. He looked at me with a sad smile for a few moments before pulling me into a hug and somehow using his ability to silence all the doubts in my head. I'm not someone who does well with physical contact in real life, but this was the warmest, most comforting hug I've ever experienced 😭

LA Luffy revealing Buggy's head on The Merry and Buggy saying it's nice to finally put a face to the voice when Reader introduces their self to him. The confusion is clear in Reader's expression and the most devious smirk spreads across his face as he playfully makes his ears wiggle while the others explain how his ear had been in Luffy's hat ever since leaving Orange Town. Realization suddenly hits and Reader gets so embarrassed because their intro arc happened right before finding Sanji and now this clown guy head thing with really pretty eyes knows all about their emotional trauma and childish sounding dreams. And he won't stop teasing them no matter how much they beg him to, their being so cutely flustered only fueling his desire to get a reaction out of them.

And if they're still somehow nice towards him despite all of this? Well, he may be forcibly taking them with him as he hightails it out of Arlong park whether they like it or not. So better hope that everyone else isn't too busy to notice in the moment, or becoming an unwilling addition to Buggy's menagerie is more likely than not. And he'll be sure to keep them extra close to make sure no pesky strawhats try to steal away his newest treasure~

Had a crazy vivid dream last night and now I just want to write a single parent Sir Crocodile fic where the reader is his young child (like maybe 5 tops) who thinks he must hate them since he's always too busy to spend much time with them. Maybe he finds out because someone let it slip the kid had a full on breakdown about it while he was out on his latest business. Croc is obviously upset by this development and decides to take a few days off to spend the entire time taking his child to all these fun places and spoiling them rotten to try to make up for it, but of course all the kid cares about is that they're finally getting to spend time with him (and his "friends" since Mihawk/Buggy obviously somehow get roped into Operation Cheer Up Croco-kid.) Just lots of cute fluff with a bit of family related angst.

[writingsofafanboy]

This idea has been rolling around my head for a while and I don't knownif I'll ever do anything with it. But it's cute and silly, so I figured I'd share anyway.

A modern-day, single dad!AU where Shanks ends up crushing on Buggy, the loser clown he hired for his kid's (Luffy) birthday party. The children are absolute gremlins and make Buggy regret every life choice that led to him being there. But the kids torturing him all just comes off as cute antics to Shanks can't get over how great with kids this guy is. Other potential parental cameos could include:

Corazon: Law didn't even want to come to the party in the first place, but oh well! Is under strict orders to stay away from the cake and its obviously flamable candles. The only adult who might actually try to help Buggy. But it only ends with him getting dragged into the chaos.

Bellemere: Laughing at the chaos and absolutely encourages the betting pool Nami start. It's for who can make Buggy's life the most miserable during the party. The answer is Usopp by the way. Kicks to the shin and being trampled after a bunch of overactive brats try to climb him are bad enough, but a pellet of hot sauce right in the eye is something he never wants to experience again.

Zeff: Made the cake with Sanji's help. Will never admit to it in front of the little eggplant, but he gives his son all the credit whenever he isn't around.

Tom: Gaurdian to both Franky and Robin. Honestly, he's probably just laughing it up with the others and taking bets with Bellemere on if Shanks will actually have a chance at getting a date with how the party is going. Tom's the more optimistic of the two.

Mihawk: The wine mom in the background, watching the chaos unfold as he sips his cares away and loses track of Zoro again🍷

Yasopp: Would have been proud of Usopp’s aim had he not been out getting milk RIP

And then you have the kids who just happen to be at the park and decide to join in on making Buggy's day worse. Kid and Killer are the ones that primarily come to mind for this, but I could see Yamato being in that classification as well if he doesn't already come to the party since Ace is his friend.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO HIIII !!!!!!!!!!! can i request some general relationship hcs for crocodile with a masc reader ? thanks and have a great day !!!!!! 🧡🧡🧡

Of course you can anon! I'm currently at the Impel Down breakout, so these will be pre-time skip head cannons. Also, I'm really sorry how sad they get at the end, it just sorta happened and I couldn't stop ;-;

General Relationship hcs for Crocodile with a masc reader

First thing to realize with this man is that he is busy. So busy in fact that not seeing him for days at time isn't all that uncommon. That being said, Crocodile would want his s/o to be someone who's independent and capable of taking care of himself. This isn't to say he'd reject someone for being more needy if he truly cared about them, but being self-sufficient is huge plus in his eyes.

Someone who knows how to put their foot down is a must as well. Crocodile has plenty of people at his beck and call. Countless people he pays to do whatever he says. So, while he may not always want it, he does need someone who has his best interests at heart and isn't going to be afraid to speak their mind.

For better or worse, the most common occurrence of arguing between the two of you is probably going to be directed towards his work habits. Being driven and confident, but he doesn't always know his limits and will often overwork himself because of it. Don't be afraid to voice your concerns and tell him it's time for a break. He may grumble and argue that he's too busy to be bothered, but he appreciates your concern deep down. And waking up with his coat suddenly draped over him after having dozed off at his desk during a late night? He'll never admit it, but it makes him feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

Crocodile is someone that doesn't trust others easily and assumes most would betray him if it so suites them. It's how he treats others after all, so why assume they'd behave differently. He's strong and influential enough to not have to worry about it most of the time, but it's always in the back of his mind as well. So earning his trust enough to be in a romantic relationship in the first place is a a feat in and of itself. It's going to be slow going and you'll have to be patient, but just don't give up on him when he inevitably pushes you away or acts distant in the relationship. Showing that you'll stick around and truly want to be with him will go a long way.

I personally think Crocodile would try to keep his personal life outside of work. Having someone he cares about enough to worry over their safety is tough enough, he doesn't need them getting involved with the more seedy characters he works with. So, as far as you're aware, he's genuinely the hero of Alabasta and runs a casino. Ignorance is bliss and you couldn't be prouder of how much the man you love does for others.

If you met through his more illicit dealings though, it's a whole other story. You're the person he trusts most in the whole world and that already goes a long way. With an ability to not only defend yourself, but also kick ass and get shit done, you'll pretty much be guaranteed a While Baroque Works is still up an running, you're definitely the only person other than Robin who knows the true identity of Mr. Zero for the entirety of the operation.

Now, I can think of a few possible scenarios for what happens during the fallout of Alabasta. One is that you manage to escape without being captured. Another is you get captured and sent to Impel Down, whether you were involved in Crocodile's illicit affairs or not because the Marines and World Government just be like that. And the third is your captured but instead of throwing you in Impel Down, the World Government decides to keep you at Marine Headquarters for questioning and the ungodly amount of intel they'd assume you have. So we'll go through those one by one.

Assuming you manage to avoid being captured, relieved is the only way to describe how he feels. Especially if you were in the dark the entire time; you don't deserve to face punishment and being tortured for his actions. That being said, if you aren't someone who's used to having to defend yourself or has much of any combat experience, he's going to be incredibly worried the entire time you're separated. He may not outwardly show it, but the man is so anxious not knowing if you're okay or not. If you escaped and he knows you can fend for yourself he won't be nearly as worried, but you'll still be weighing on his heavily.

If you didn't escape and got sent to Impel Down with him and the other agents of Baroque Works, you can sure as hell bet you're getting broken out either through somehow ending up Luffy's party before they're confronted by Magellan or Crocodile also seeking you out when he grabs Daz. Either way, you're being with them is going to be a condition for him to help Luffy break out. Iva will absolutely tease him about having gone soft for someone because of it. But you don't mind too much, it's just affirmation of how much he truly cares about you.

And if you got captured and taken to Marineford to be questioned? All the more reason to go with Luffy. Saving Ace? Sure, whatever. His main priority the entire time will be locating you and woe be the fool who's idiotic enough to stand between him and the man he loves.

The big hurdle to overcome will be if you didn't know about everything before Luffy showed up. Because you sure do now and there's going to be a lot of betrayal and baggage attached to this discovery. Even if you're being held for questioning and he shows up to save you, do you even want to go with him at this point? Everything about your previous life was a lie and how do you know that won't just continue? How do you even know if the man you've known and loved these past years wasn't just a lie as well?

The hurt and distrust in your eyes when you come face to face for the first time after everything is enough to make him freeze on the spot. And the way you flinch away, as if your scared he may hurt you now that you know everything? Well that absolutely shatters his heart.

Whether you choose to stay with him or not, he'll still search you out or save you from where ever the marines are keeping you. Again, it's not your fault all of this happened and he feels he at least owes you the respect of an explanation and apology for all he's put you though.

Rules

First off and most importantly, this is a safe space. I want anyone and everyone to feel comfortable requesting, but a general DNI goes out to anyone who is:

Homophobic

Transphobic

Hateful towards any sexual orientation/gender identity

Sexist

Racist

With that out of the way, I do have a few rules for requests I'll take.

Currently, I'm only taking One Piece requests. This may change in the future, but for now I'm sticking with it.

I don't take any NSFW requests. I'm willing to get a little steamy and allude to things. But no smut, I'm afraid. I'm awkward and asexual af, so please go easy on me.

I take requests for all genders! If no gender is specified in the request though, I will default to gender neutral.

Fluff? Angst? Comfort fic? Silly stuff? Darker themes? I'll try out just about any genre you want.

I won't take requests involving romantic relationships between minors and adults or any incest. Just not comfortable with it.

I don't have restrictions as far as characters being requested goes, but please keep in mind I'm currently in Dressrosa.

And finally, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE specify the format you want your request written in. I do both head-canons and imagines, but I also do screenplay format. If no preference is given, the decision will be at my discretion.

That Snipe fanfic! I looove!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! Honestly, this has been a really rough past week filled with a lot of self-doubt/hard realizations so this was so nice to see in my inbox!
