The sunset over Sabaody Archipelago bled into the sea, streaking the water with fiery gold. You stood near Grove 17, staring across the surf, coat whipping in the sea wind. The kanji for Justice blazed bold across your back—weighty and solemn.
You had known this day would come.
“He’s near,” you muttered.
Your partner, Lieutenant Commander Haru, glanced up from the comm transponder. “You’re sure it’s him?”
You nodded. “Marco doesn’t make landfall without reason.”
And you were the reason, weren’t you?
The World Government sent you to stop pirate resurgence near the archipelago. What they didn’t know—or didn’t care about—was your past with one of Whitebeard’s most notorious commanders. A man made of fire and regret.
Two nights earlier...
You met him at a decaying outpost near Grove 42, where silence clung to the ruins like moss. It had been your meeting place once, long before the war, when you still believed in middle grounds.
“You’re out of uniform-yoi” he said with a dry smile.
You didn’t rise to the bait. “You’re trespassing.”
He stepped closer, casual and radiant with heat. “Only because I need to see you.”
“You shouldn’t have come.”
“Too late-yoi”
You lowered your voice. “Do you know what they’d do to me if they found out we talked?”
He studied your face, all humor gone. “Do you know what they’re planning?”
You froze. “What?”
“I can’t give details-yoi. But your name’s come up. Some in high command are calling you a liability.”
Your stomach turned.
You stepped back. “Why would I believe you?”
He didn’t answer. He didn’t have to.
Now
He arrived under cover of night, his form descending from the clouds in a blaze of blue and gold flame. The Phoenix landed silently, his body cooling to flesh as he walked toward you.
You waited in the clearing, saber at your side.
“You came to fight?” you asked.
He stopped several feet away. “I came to bring you with me-yoi”
You laughed bitterly. “That’s not going to happen.”
He looked around. “No backup?”
“I told them I’d handle you alone.”
“Still protecting me?” he asked, voice low.
You gritted your teeth. “Still giving me reasons not to.”
The clash began in an instant.
You moved first, blade arcing toward his chest. He caught it with a burning forearm, skin searing, but regenerating in a flash of flame. He didn’t flinch.
“You’re hesitating-yoi” he said.
You shoved forward. “So are you.”
He dodged, fast as ever, sweeping you off your feet with a gust of phoenix fire. You rolled to your feet, haki igniting around your fists.
Your strikes were fast, precise. He met them with heat and patience, parrying without rage.
“You’re not trying to hurt me,” you panted.
“I’m trying to reach you.”
You froze for half a breath too long, and he closed the gap, gripping your wrist tightly—but gently.
“Let go,” you growled.
“I will-yoi. When you stop letting them own you.”
Flashback - A year ago
You sat beside him on a broken stone ledge of a forgotten island, legs dangling over the edge. The sea was dark, but calm.
“Ever think of disappearing?” you asked.
Marco smiled faintly. “All the time.”
You leaned against him. “I could run. Change my name. Burn the coat.”
“You’d miss it,” he said.
“Maybe. But I’d miss you more.”
You didn’t kiss him that night. You just sat there, feeling the weight of decisions neither of you were ready to make.
Now
You launched a furious assault, striking harder than before, tears clouding your vision. He blocked each blow but didn’t retaliate.
“You think I’m being used?” you shouted.
“I know you are.”
“I believe in what I do!”
“I believe in you,” he said.
The words hit harder than your blade ever could.
Eventually, he caught you—arms around your waist as you struggled, both of you breathing hard, sweat and ash clinging to your skin.
You slumped against him, exhausted.
“What do you want from me?” you asked.
“I want you to stop sacrificing yourself for people who see you as a tool.”
You shook your head. “I can’t leave. I can’t be like you.”
He stepped back. “Then don’t be like me. Just...be free.”
Later that night, you sat alone beneath a mangrove tree, staring at the white Marine coat folded neatly on the grass beside you.
Memories came in waves—training drills, missions, accolades. None of them felt like home.
But a quiet moment aboard a stolen dinghy, Marco laughing as you tried sake for the first time—that did.
At dawn, you stood on the same dock where the Phoenix first touched down. The air smelled of salt and smoke.
He stood by the water, waiting.
You approached slowly.
Then, without a word, you dropped the Marine coat between you.
He didn’t smile. He just stepped forward and took your hand.
“I’m not choosing you,” you whispered. “I’m choosing myself.”
He nodded. “Good. That’s who I fell for in the first place.”
Together, you walked toward the rising sun.

Frostbite and Witchcraft
When a bored ex-admiral hears rumors of a dangerous "witch" living near a chaotic port town, he can't resist hunting her down—only to find himself ensnared in a slow-burn game of teasing, ice, and forbidden heat.

It all started with a stupid rumor.
"The witch will curse you if you look her in the eye!" "She flies around naked at midnight!" "She turned Old Man Jeb into a chicken. True story."
The entire port town was drunk on gossip, and Aokiji—bored, freshly unattached to any real responsibility—found himself very interested.
"I dunno," he said lazily, nursing a drink at the local tavern, "sounds kinda hot."
The table of sailors stared at him like he'd grown a second head. "Hot?! She’s dangerous!"
Aokiji just grinned, finishing his drink and standing up. "Dangerous women are the best ones."
He tracked you down that same night.
Eventually, he found himself standing at the edge of a very cliché-looking creepy forest. A broken, hand-painted sign read:
"BEWARE: WITCH LIVES HERE. (also wolves.)"
Aokiji, grinning lazily, shrugged. “Eh. Wolves are fine. I’m here for the witch.”
He wandered in, hands in his pockets, whistling tunelessly. Half an hour later, after being chased by a very angry (and definitely not magical) goat, he finally stumbled upon a crooked little house. Smoke curled from the chimney, and wind chimes made from bones (probably fake… probably) tinkled eerily.
Your crooked little house at the edge of the forest was half-charming, half-terrifying, lit up with candles and what looked suspiciously like floating lights (actually just fireflies, but hey, let the idiots believe).
You were perched on your porch, barefoot, wearing a thin, flowy dress that clung to your body in the humid air, holding a cup of tea and looking entirely too smug.
“You lost, stranger?” you called, voice honey-sweet but laced with trouble.
Aokiji whistled low under his breath. Damn, the rumors didn’t do you justice.
Aokiji approached slowly, hands in his pockets. “Hey. I’m here for the witch."
You looked him up and down like he was a particularly stupid animal. "You the guy with more balls than brains?"
He laughed—a slow, deep rumble. "Depends who you ask."
You raised an eyebrow, sipping your tea. “And what if she curses you?"
Aokiji's grin widened. He leaned his tall frame casually against a tree, watching you with the lazy hunger of a man already planning how fast he could lose the upper hand—and liking it.
“I dunno... kinda sounds like fun," he said, voice low, smooth. "Especially if she's the kind of witch who knows a few...bad tricks.”
And thus began the harassment.
Day 1: He brought you a dead fish. "Thought witches liked weird offerings."
You squinted at it, then at him. "That’s mermaid bait, dumbass."
He shrugged and left it on your porch anyway.
Day 3: He challenged you to a "spell duel" and got his ass kicked by a very territorial goat you "accidentally" sicced on him.
Day 5: You caught him napping under your tree, snoring like a dying lawnmower.
You threw a bucket of water on him. He woke up, grinning, ice instantly forming on his clothes.
"You’re gonna have to try harder to cool me off, sweetheart."
You stomped inside before he could see the stupid smile on your face.
Day 7: You found a neatly folded note on your porch:
"Dear scary witch lady, Teach me magic? Also, your hair looks nice. Yours frostily, Aokiji"
You rolled your eyes so hard you nearly fell over. But you smiled too.
He kept coming back. Sometimes he’d just sit nearby, pretending to "guard" your house from wolves. Other times, he’d lazily help you gather herbs (crushing half of them because he was clumsy as hell). You started leaving out a second cup of tea without thinking about it.
He was stupidly tall, annoyingly charming, and somehow managed to look both lazy and sharp at the same time. He made you laugh when you hadn’t laughed in months.
And gods, when he smirked at you… when he leaned a little too close when handing you a flower… It was getting hard to pretend you didn’t notice.
One evening… You sat by the porch, braiding herbs absently. The sky blazed orange, and Aokiji lounged nearby, watching you with open amusement.
"You ever curse anyone for real?" he asked.
You smirked. "Maybe. You wanna find out?"
He whistled low, pretending to wipe sweat from his brow. "Man… you’re dangerous when you talk like that."
You tossed a dried sprig of lavender at him. He caught it, lazy-fast.
There was a pause.
Then he got up—moved toward you—slow, deliberate.
You looked up, heartbeat thudding. He loomed, tall and close enough that you could smell his skin: cold like fresh rain, sharp and clean.
His hand brushed a stray leaf from your hair—fingers lingering just a second too long.
"Y'know," he murmured, voice low and wrecked, "I think you did curse me."
You tried to laugh it off—but it came out breathless.
"Oh yeah? What’s the curse?"
He smiled—a real one this time, a little crooked, a little too soft.
"I can’t stay away from you."
The tension snapped.
You surged up, grabbing his jacket and dragging him down; he met you halfway, crashing his mouth onto yours.
The kiss was everything you expected from him: messy, greedy, starving. His tongue slid against yours immediately, tasting, teasing, claiming you. You gasped into him—he groaned low in his throat—his hands roaming your sides, cool fingertips skating fire trails along your heated skin.
You bit his lip playfully; he retaliated by lifting you effortlessly onto the porch railing, pressing between your thighs.
"You’re lucky," you panted against his mouth.
"Yeah?" he chuckled, kissing down your jaw, voice thick with want.
"Not everyone survives kissing a witch."
He grinned against your throat, cold breath making you shiver.
"Guess I’m built different."
And then he kissed you again—deeper, hungrier—like he was determined to drown in you.
You decided you’d let him.
You barely had time to catch your breath before Aokiji’s mouth was on you again—only this time, lower.
His lips trailed messy, open-mouthed kisses down your jawline, slow and deliberate, sending shivers wracking your entire body. When he reached your neck, he paused, smirking against your pulse like he could feel it racing for him.
"You always this jumpy," he teased in a low growl, "or is it just me?"
You opened your mouth to sass back—but then he bit your neck, just enough to make you gasp, and you forgot how words worked.
His tongue followed immediately after, soothing the sting, cold and warm all at once. You arched into him instinctively, and he groaned deep in his chest, like the feel of you was driving him insane.
"Aokiji—" you tried to say, but it came out a whimper.
"Mm," he murmured against your skin, "I like how you say my name. Say it again."
Instead, you tugged at his messy hair, earning a delighted chuckle from him. He pressed you harder against the porch railing, one hand sliding under your thighs to keep you perched there like you belonged to him.
And then he got even bolder.
His mouth moved lower, ghosting along your collarbone, teeth scraping lightly before he kissed the delicate skin with maddening gentleness.
Your hands clutched at the fabric of his jacket, trying to anchor yourself. You could feel his breath—cool and teasing—against the thin fabric of your dress, making your whole body burn.
"You’re trembling," he whispered, smug. "Cold?" he asked, voice dripping pure sin, "or somethin' else?"
"Y-you're cheating," you managed to choke out, laughing breathlessly.
Aokiji just grinned wickedly against your collarbone.
Suddenly, you felt it—a cold, delicate grip around your wrists.
You looked down to see thin rings of ice curling around them, not painful, but firm—anchoring you gently against the railing behind you.
Your breath hitched. Your heart slammed against your ribs.
"Aokiji…" you whispered, wide-eyed.
He looked up at you, lazy and devastatingly cocky.
"Relax," he purred, mouth brushing your ear. "You can melt 'em anytime… if you ask real nice."
You swallowed hard, feeling the cold of the ice and the burning heat of his mouth on your skin, the impossible contrast driving you absolutely insane.
He kissed your shoulder—slow, reverent—then trailed back up to your neck, biting a little harder this time, earning a shaky, desperate moan from your lips.
"You sound so pretty," he rasped, like he was barely holding himself back.
You tugged at the ice instinctively, but it only made the sensation sharper—being half-pinned, half-teased, at his mercy.
"You want me to stop?" he asked, lips ghosting over yours, voice infuriatingly smug.
You glared at him, cheeks flushed and heart racing. "Don't you fucking dare."
Aokiji laughed—a real, dark, hungry laugh—and then captured your mouth again in a kiss so deep, so filthy, you forgot what planet you were on.
You kissed him back just as desperately, your hips grinding against his without even thinking.
The ice melted instantly under your heat, but you didn’t even notice—you were too busy tugging him closer, swallowing each other whole.
When you finally broke apart, gasping, he rested his forehead against yours, smirking like the cocky bastard he was.
"You’re trouble," he whispered, voice wrecked and affectionate.
You smiled, tugging his collar.
"So ruin me already, Ice Man."
And from the wicked glint in his half-lidded eyes, you knew he fully intended to.
I love shanks so much😭😭

The tavern on Bellmouth Island had never known peace.
It was tucked into the port side of the island like a cozy scar—weathered, stubborn, and full of bad decisions marinated in rum. But even Bellmouth’s most seasoned barkeep hadn’t seen anything quite like The Siren’s Fang crew.
“Hey, Cap! Tall guy passed out again!” barked Kiji, the squad’s medic, gesturing to a pile of limbs slumped over a barstool.
“Is he breathing this time?” you asked lazily, twirling a glass of rum in your hand. You sat at the tavern’s center table, leg slung over the arm of your chair, adorned in sleek leather and gold-trimmed cloth, eyes half-lidded with amusement.
“Barely,” muttered Azel, your cook-slash-unofficial-grim-reaper, poking the unconscious man with a ladle. “He mistook my hot sauce for syrup. Natural selection.”
“His fault,” you sighed.
You were Captain [Y/N], the woman many whispered about as beautiful as the ocean—mysterious, wild, and just as likely to drown you as smile at you. The Siren’s Fang wasn’t a household name like the Straw Hats or the Emperors, but in the Grand Line’s undercurrent, your reputation had teeth. Rumors swirled of your crew taking down a fleet from Big Mom’s remnants and sinking a marine battleship like it was a toy boat in a bathtub.
Still, fame didn’t interest you. Fun did.
And Bellmouth was fun—cheap booze, rowdy locals, and just enough lawlessness to feel like home.
That was until the door slammed open.
Wind howled through the tavern. Bottles rattled. Even the drunks perked up.
The Red-Haired Pirates had arrived.
You didn’t need to look. You felt it. That magnetic, crackling air of too-powerful people walking into a space too small to contain them.
Shanks led the way, one hand on the hilt of his sword, the other resting on his hip as he scanned the tavern with lazy mirth. His crew spilled in behind him—Benn Beckman, Lucky Roux, Yasopp, the works.
Ten seconds passed. Then—
“Welp. Guess we’re fighting,” muttered Neri, your tactician, flipping her dagger.
“Can’t we go one week without a legendary crew showing up?” grumbled Hyun, your shipwright, who’d just managed to tape a window back together.
“Don't break my chairs,” called the barkeep, already ducking behind the bar.
You, meanwhile, took a sip of rum.
And then, slowly, gracefully, rose to your feet.
"Are we fighting?" asked Benn, eyes narrowing slightly.
Shanks tilted his head in your direction, gaze locking onto yours.
You didn’t draw your sword.
You smiled.
“No,” you said, voice like velvet. “But I do have something else in mind.”
The room collectively blinked.
You strolled toward them with the ease of a queen and the chaos of a siren in full swing. “You must be Red-Haired Shanks,” you purred, eyes scanning him with undisguised appreciation. “You're taller than I expected. That’s... hot.”
A pause.
Then—someone from your crew let out a wheeze of disbelief. Probably Toma. He’d bet two crates of rum you’d deck Shanks on sight.
Shanks arched a brow, lips twitching. “Not the usual greeting I get from a rival pirate captain.”
“I’m not your rival,” you said, stopping only a breath away from him. You craned your head up, voice dropping to a sultry whisper. “Unless you want me to be. Enemies to lovers? That your thing?”
Lucky Roux choked on his drink.
Shanks actually laughed, the rich, boisterous sound of someone genuinely caught off guard.
“Captain,” Benn said dryly, “I think we’re being hit on.”
“DAHAHA I know, right?” Shanks grinned. “This is way more fun than usual.”
Your crew was now in a full-on state of stunned chaos.
“I—she just flirted with a Yonko. Casually. Like she was ordering a drink,” Kiji mumbled.
“She’s going to get us killed,” muttered Neri.
“No,” corrected Hyun, “she’s going to get laid.”
“Pfft—HA!”
Meanwhile, Shanks tilted his head. “So what’s your name, Ocean Eyes?”
You gave him your full title, adding, “Captain of The Siren’s Fang. And yes, I live up to the name.”
“Mm.” He leaned in just slightly. “Should I be worried you’re trying to lure me onto the rocks?”
“I’m trying to lure you onto something, that’s for sure.”
Yasopp nearly fell off his stool.
Benn facepalmed. Lucky Roux laughed so hard he snorted beer through his nose.
“Join us for a drink?” you offered innocently. “Or are you too scared I’ll make you fall in love with me?”
Shanks held your gaze for one beat. Two. Then smiled.
“I’ve done dumber things.”
And just like that, the Red-Haired Pirates sat down with the Siren’s Fang.
Tension left the room like steam off hot rum. Chairs screeched. Drinks clinked. Somewhere, your sniper was trying to discreetly message your ship’s chronicler: CAPTAIN IS FLIRTING WITH SHANKS, SEND HELP.
“...And then the marine tries to arrest me, right? While I’m naked. In the bath!” Shanks crowed, halfway through a bottle of rum, hair falling into his eyes.
“Oh my god,” you gasped, clutching your side. “Please tell me you fought him like that.”
“I slipped! Broke his nose falling out of the tub!”
You and your crew howled.
A few tables down, Benn and Neri were having a quiet intellectual standoff that involved a lot of maps and dry sarcasm. Yasopp and Hyun were arguing over gun specs. Toma was getting arm-wrestled into oblivion by Lucky Roux. It was, in short, a tavern apocalypse.
“You’re fun,” Shanks murmured, voice low, only for you.
You tilted your head. “You expected me to be scary.”
“I expected you to swing first and ask questions never.”
“Ah. That’s just on Wednesdays.”
He chuckled. “You’re dangerous.”
“You like that,” you teased.
“I do,” he admitted. “But be honest. Is this all just to distract me while your crew steals our booze?”
You sipped your drink with a wink. “What do you think?”
From across the room, a yell: “WE’VE TAKEN THE BEER STORAGE!”
“DAMN IT, KOKO!”
Shanks stared.
You said nothing.
He grinned. “Marry me?”
“Buy me a boat first.”
“You already have a ship.”
“Yeah, but I want a red one.”
As the night wore on, chaos bloomed into something almost tender. The two crews, pirates feared across the seas, were now doing karaoke with a broken lute and a guy named Phil.
You leaned against the tavern doorway, watching the madness. The moonlight brushed your skin like seafoam, your hair tousled by the salt-laced wind.
Shanks joined you silently.
“You’re really not what I expected,” he said.
“Disappointed?”
He shook his head. “Enchanted.”
You turned your head to him, eyes soft now. “You’re pretty smooth for a pirate.”
“I’m usually drunker.”
You laughed, then reached up, brushing a lock of hair from his face. “You know, Red, if I weren’t a captain…”
“Yeah?”
“I’d ask you to run away with me.”
He caught your wrist gently, pressing a kiss to your knuckles.
“If I weren’t a Yonko,” he murmured, “I’d say yes.”
For a moment, it felt like the sea held its breath.
Then someone inside yelled, “THE CAPTAIN AND SHANKS ARE MAKING EYES AT EACH OTHER AGAIN!”
“TAKE PICTURES!”
“START THE WEDDING SONG!”
You and Shanks groaned in unison.
“Back to the madness?” he offered.
“Only if you dance with me.”
“Deal.”
And so the two of you dove back into the tavern storm, laughing, flirting, half-dancing, half-sparring with words, like the sea and sky in a constant, chaotic waltz.
No declarations. No promises.
Just two captains in the eye of a storm they both enjoyed far too much.
hi guys! i just wanted to let you all know that i've decided to open up my requests again! that being said, things might be a little slower than usual because i’ve got some upcoming exams to prepare for as i stated here. so, i’ll be balancing that with working on requests as much as I can.
i’m excited to get back to creating for you! I’ll do my best to get to everything, just bear with me during this busy time. I can’t wait to see what y'all have in mind! pls know that ideas/suggestions are open too! and be specific with your requests pls! and also i dont plan on writing too much smut like some s3x scenes. i hope u all understand! thank u!!
Hello, good morning. I'd like to request a story. Please.
Redheaded Shanks by Y/n Shanks, T/n, and Buggy were apprentices and friends on the Jackson Gold. T/n and Shanks had a strong relationship. After the crew abandoned their young apprentices and the crew disbanded, the trio of boys went their separate ways.
Years later, Shanks, without knowing anything about Y/n, found out she was in the Navy. He couldn't believe his eyes. He knew she hated the Marines. They were the ones who killed her family. So why is she with them?
When he was able to locate her, he found out she was a vice admiral in the Navy. He found her in a bar where his subordinates were eating. When she left to return to the ship, the redhead took her to a dark alley. The woman didn't recognize him, or rather, she didn't want to recognize him. She tried to leave him. Then he kissed her. The woman blushed, you idiot, leave me pushing him. Please.
hehe~ this is a nice idea! i hope this is to your liking!
𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫, 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
Years after you went to separate ways, fate and a stubborn redhead force old scars to the surface—and maybe, just maybe, a second chance too.

It wasn’t often that Red-Haired Shanks was left speechless.
But there he was, jaw slack, hand frozen midway to his tankard of ale, staring at the newspaper Benn Beckman slapped onto the table like it personally offended him.
Vice Admiral (Y/N), the youngest rising star of the Navy.
Clear as day. A picture too — you, standing proud in a sharp white coat, sword at your hip, a grim smirk on your lips that Shanks knew wasn’t real.
"You're kidding," Shanks breathed.
"Afraid not," Benn muttered, biting down on his cigar. "They say this one's the 'Steel Lady' of the seas. Ruthless. Brilliant. Deadly."
"Sounds sexy," Lucky Roo said between mouthfuls.
Shanks didn’t laugh. He didn’t move.
You, wearing their uniform? Their colors? The ones who burned your home, slaughtered your family, the reason you once spat the word "Marine" like poison?
It didn’t make sense.
It hurt.
Buggy’s old shrill voice rang in his head — "She'd rather die than join the Navy, you dumbass!"
(Back then, they were just kids — him, Buggy, and you. Apprentices. Family.)
What the hell happened to you, (Y/N)?
The tavern was roaring with laughter, Red-Hair’s men in full swing, clinking mugs and howling songs.
Shanks barely heard them. His single eye was pinned to the entrance.
You walked in like you owned the damn place.
Your Vice Admiral coat fluttered behind you, and you barely spared a glance at the pirates crowding the booths. You ignored the gawking stares, the muttered curses. Just went straight to the bar, ordered a drink like it was any other Tuesday.
Cool as hell, Shanks thought numbly.
You nursed your whiskey quietly. No friends. No entourage.
A thousand memories burned behind his eyes — your laughter, your scowl, your hand tugging his when he was too slow, your voice mocking Buggy into oblivion.
You looked… older now. Stronger. Sharper.
Lonelier.
When you finished your drink, you slid a few beli across the counter, nodded at the bartender, and headed for the door without a backward glance.
Shanks was already moving.
You sensed him before he touched you — instincts honed razor-sharp. You whirled around in the dark alley, hand already at your sword.
“Easy, easy," Shanks laughed, stepping out of the shadows, hands raised in surrender. "It’s just me, (Y/N)."
You froze.
For a heartbeat, your face was naked — shock, pain, longing — before you slammed the shutters down.
"I don’t know you," you said flatly, voice cold enough to bite.
Ouch.
Shanks smirked, tilting his head. "Oh, come on. That’s not very nice. After all those years?"
"Move." You sidestepped him.
He moved with you, blocking your path like a giant, infuriating wall of muscle and grinning teeth.
"I’m serious," you snapped, shoving his chest. "Get out of my way."
"You recognized me," he said smugly.
You scowled.
Big mistake.
Because that's when Shanks grabbed you — not rough, but firm, calloused hands catching your wrist and yanking you flush against him. You gasped, instinctively swinging your knee, but he twisted, laughing, spinning you into the wall.
"Still feisty," he chuckled, eyes gleaming.
You gritted your teeth. "Let go, Red Hair, before I make you regret it."
Shanks leaned closer, voice dropping. "Why, Vice Admiral? Scared you might miss me?"
You went still.
God, you hated him sometimes. Hated that he still smelled like salt and sunlight, like stupid wild freedom. Hated that your heart was hammering like it remembered every stupid kiss under stolen sunsets.
"You idiot," you muttered, voice cracking. "Leave me alone—"
He kissed you.
Hard. Desperate. Messy.
You stiffened — then shoved him hard, breaking the kiss with a ragged gasp, fists pounding weakly against his chest.
"You— jerk!" you hissed, cheeks blazing, but the punch you threw was sluggish. Shanks caught your wrist again easily, tugging you back into him with a breathless, stupid smile.
"You’re still bad at punching," he teased, forehead pressed against yours.
"You’re still bad at thinking," you grumbled, trying to look anywhere but at him.
He laughed, warm and rough and real.
Goddammit.
You wanted to cry. Or kill him. Or kiss him again.
Maybe all three.
You shoved him back and drew your sword in one smooth motion.
"I told you to leave," you growled, pointing the blade at his nose.
Shanks just grinned, one hand on his sword hilt. "If I beat you, you have to come have dinner with me."
You blinked. "What are you, twelve?"
"Is that a no?"
"You’re on, bastard."
The clash was fast and brutal.
You moved first, slashing low, testing — he parried lazily with the flat of his blade, laughing like he wasn’t even trying.
You scowled and sped up, strikes raining down like thunder. You weren’t a kid anymore. You were a Vice Admiral, for god’s sake. Stronger. Smarter. Meaner.
But Shanks wasn’t a kid either.
He was Shanks. Yonko. Legend.
He dodged your killing blows with maddening ease, ducking, weaving, flicking your sword aside with infuriating little nudges.
"You’re slower than Buggy," he teased.
"Take that back!" you snarled, aiming for his head.
He sidestepped and flicked your forehead with one finger.
You yowled, stumbling back.
"You did not just—!"
"Oooh, (Y/N)'s mad~," Shanks sang, dodging the next slash by an inch.
You tackled him.
Both of you crashed into a heap against the wall, laughing, panting, grappling like idiots.
Shanks pinned you easily, one knee on your stomach, both your wrists caught in one hand.
You glared up at him, chest heaving.
His smile faded, something soft creeping into his eyes.
"You grew up," he said quietly, thumb brushing your pulse.
"You didn’t," you muttered.
He barked a short laugh. "Guess not."
The fight bled out of you.
For a moment, you just stared at each other. Breathing each other in.
You never forgot how he looked — wild, free, infuriating. He never forgot you either — fierce, stubborn, brilliant.
"I missed you," Shanks said roughly, voice cracking.
You swallowed.
"Missed you too, idiot."
He let you go.
You didn’t run.
Instead, you slumped against the wall, arms limp at your sides, feeling like a ship run aground.
Shanks flopped down next to you, legs stretched out, shoulder bumping yours.
"You look good in white," he said, nudging your coat.
You snorted. "You look bad in red."
"Harsh."
"You deserve it."
He laughed again — that same easy, golden laugh — and for the first time in years, you smiled. Really smiled.
.
.
"So..." Shanks began after a long, comfortable silence. "Vice Admiral, huh?"
You picked at a loose thread on your glove. "Spy."
He blinked. "Huh!?"
"I’m not really with them," you said, voice dropping. "I’m... gathering information. Playing the long game."
"You’re a double agent?!"
"Keep your voice down, dumbass!"
He clapped a hand over his mouth, eyes sparkling.
You rolled your eyes. "It’s complicated. But yeah. I’d never really join them. I just... needed a way to get close enough to tear them apart."
Shanks looked at you like you hung the moon.
"You’re insane," he said, utterly delighted.
"You're one to talk."
He grinned wide and stupid, then threw his arm around your shoulder, tugging you into a rough side hug.
"I always knew you were the coolest," he said proudly.
You mock-gagged. "Gross. Get off."
"Never."
You didn’t actually pull away.
Instead, you let your head fall against his shoulder, listening to his heartbeat. Steady. Warm. Real.
For the first time in years, you felt like maybe you weren’t carrying the weight of the world alone.
Somewhere, across the seas, Buggy sneezed violently. "Ugh," he sniffled, glaring at his crew. "Someone’s talking shit about me! I bet it’s those two idiots! I hate them!" (He didn’t. Not really.)
.
.
.
As dawn broke over the water, you and Shanks sat on the rooftop of a random tavern, legs dangling over the edge.
He was telling you some ridiculous story about losing his hat and arm ("It wasn’t my fault, okay?! There's a kid in East Blue who said the same thing as Captain Roger did, those same words of our captain!") and you were laughing so hard your ribs hurt.
You hadn't laughed like this in years.
Maybe... Maybe it wasn’t too late.
Maybe you could still have something.
Him.
You glanced sideways — at his messy hair, his stupid, wide grin, the scar across his eye you hadn’t dared touch yet.
Maybe you could still have home.
"Hey," you said, voice soft.
He turned to you, eyebrows raised.
You leaned in — quick, reckless — and kissed his cheek.
"You owe me dinner," you said, grinning.
Shanks blinked, stunned for once.
Then he whooped loud enough to wake half the town, tackling you in a bear hug.
Somewhere between the laughter, the yelling, and the ridiculous wrestling match that followed, you realized something.
You weren’t lost anymore.

SHANKS
You were many things aboard the Red Force—calm, sharp-tongued, and painfully unbothered by Shanks’ endless antics.
You were also completely unaware of the fact that the most feared (and flirted-with) captain in the New World couldn’t seem to stop touching you.
Not in a creepy way. Not even in a romantic way… at least, not that you noticed.
He’d toss an arm around your shoulders like it was a habit. Rest his hand on your waist when laughing. Tug you into his side when something “dangerous” happened, like a slightly aggressive breeze or a seagull flying too low.
You just chalked it up to him being Shanks.
Until, one bright morning, the crew decided enough was enough.
It started with Benn Beckman sighing dramatically as he walked onto the deck.
“Do you two need a room or something?”
You blinked from where you stood, arms crossed. “We’re not even doing anything.”
Benn pointed. “His hand has been on your lower back for ten minutes.”
Shanks blinked down at his own hand like it betrayed him. “Huh. Didn’t even notice.”
You raised a brow. “Are you okay? Do you have tactile issues?”
Lucky Roux snorted as he passed by with a turkey leg. “Yeah, it’s called ‘falling for someone and not knowing what to do with your hands.’”
Shanks turned red. You remained… utterly unaffected.
“Touch-starved pirate disease,” Lime Juice muttered, jotting fake notes like a doctor. “Tragic. Symptoms include: prolonged physical contact, excessive grinning, and spontaneous cuddling in public.”
Hongo popped his head out of the crow’s nest. “I saw him brush your hair behind your ear during the storm last week.”
“That was because it got in their face,” Shanks defended.
You nodded. “He didn’t want me to get stabbed by my own bangs. Very heroic.”
“You’re wearing a braid,” Yasopp called from the helm.
A long pause.
“…Okay, I’m not good with excuses,” Shanks muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. His hand bumped yours in the process.
You tilted your head, eyes narrowing. “Captain.”
“Yes?”
“You’re touching me again.”
“...I genuinely didn’t notice DAHAHAHA.”
The crew erupted into laughter.
You blinked slowly and glanced down at your joined hands, then back up at him. “You’ve been holding my hand for a minute now. You good?”
“Maybe.”
You stared.
He stared.
“…You’re kinda warm,” he added, grinning.
“I’m wearing gloves.”
“Exactly. Impressive.”
You didn’t smile, but your voice was flat with dry humor. “You wanna marry me, too? Get it over with?”
Shanks choked. “Whoa—what?”
“You’re already touching me like I’m your lover. Might as well commit.”
The crew howled.
“I’m starting to like them more than you, Cap,” Benn said, lighting a cigar.
“They’ve got more bite,” Lime Juice grinned.
Lucky Roux offered you a celebratory turkey leg like a sword. “You just proposed better than he ever could.”
You calmly took it, giving a single nod. “Thanks. I accept my own proposal.”
Shanks was still frozen. “Wait, are we actually engaged now?”
You took a slow bite of the turkey leg, deadpan. “Keep touching me like that, and you’ll owe me alimony.”
ZORO
You were minding your own business—arms crossed, eyes half-lidded, back leaned slightly against the Sunny’s railing—when a familiar weight thunked into your side.
Again.
You didn’t flinch, didn’t glance, didn’t even blink. Just spoke.
“Zoro.”
“What.”
“You’re doing it again.”
“Doing what.”
“Treating me like a living chair.”
He grunted. “You’re stable. And not annoying.”
“That’s a compliment?” you asked, still deadpan.
“Take it or leave it.”
The crew had noticed. Of course they had. This was the sixth day in a row Zoro had casually latched onto you like a sleepy barnacle.
“Oi, mosshead!” Sanji snapped, appearing from the galley with smoke swirling and a righteous fury in his eyes. “Get off them, you clingy cucumber!”
Zoro cracked open an eye. “Make me.”
“Oh, I will!” Sanji stomped over dramatically. “Y/N-chwaann shouldn’t have to carry your freeloading swordsman body weight! If anyone deserves to be close to them, it’s me!”
You raised an eyebrow. “You literally tripped into my lap yesterday trying to ‘tie your shoe.’ You were barefoot.”
“It was a metaphor!” Sanji cried. “For falling head over heels!”
Zoro scoffed. “That was the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Says the mossy limpet glued to their side like a touchy fungus!”
Zoro didn’t move. “Jealousy’s not a good look, curly.”
“You—!!”
“Guys,” Nami sighed, “can’t we go one day without turning affection into a shouting match?”
Brook leaned on his cane, chuckling. “Yohohoho! Young love… or something!”
Usopp squinted. “Wait. Has Zoro always been this clingy with Y/N?”
Robin smiled mysteriously. “Since thriller bark, at least.”
Franky nodded solemnly. “Saw him fall asleep on their shoulder mid-battle once. SUPER unconscious.”
“I thought he was dead,” Chopper added, horrified. “Turns out he was just really comfy.”
Zoro’s grip on your shoulder tightened very slightly, and you finally glanced sideways at him.
“Do you know you’re this touchy?” you asked.
He looked like he wanted to evaporate into the deck. “I… just don’t mind you being close.”
You blinked slowly. “Is that samurai code for ‘I like you’?”
Sanji audibly gagged. “Oi! Don’t flirt in front of me!”
“We’re not flirting,” you said.
Zoro mumbled, “Might be.”
Sanji died inside.
“Y/N-chwann” he said gravely, dropping to one knee. “I beg of you—pick me instead! I would never lean on you like a sweaty tree log!”
Zoro growled. “Because you’d faint from being close.”
“AT LEAST I’D DIE HANDSOME!”
You looked between the two of them and sighed.
“I just want to drink my tea without being fought over,” you muttered, walking off—Zoro immediately following, like a shadow with swords.
“You’re still touching me,” you noted.
“Didn’t say I’d stop,” he replied casually.
You stopped walking, turned, and looked him square in the eye.
“You’re aware this is very couple-coded, right?”
He blinked, then grunted. “Guess we should make it official then.”
You blinked right back. “That was fast.”
“Why waste time.”
You smirked just a little. “Romantic.”
He shrugged. “You’re warm. And you don’t talk too much.”
“That’s your idea of a proposal?”
“Worked, didn’t it?”
From behind you, Sanji dramatically screamed into the ocean.
MIHAWK
Kuraigana Island was a wasteland of stone, wind, and uncomfortable silences. You didn’t mind. You were the type to thrive in eerie places — quiet, observant, and allergic to nonsense.
Which is probably why Mihawk didn’t bother with small talk.
Or... so you thought.
Lately, the world’s greatest swordsman had developed a habit of materializing wherever you were. You’d be cleaning a blade — and there he was, pouring tea. You’d sit on the crumbling stone wall for some air — and there he’d be, suddenly trimming the overgrown vines right next to you.
At first, you thought it was coincidence.
Until today.
“...You know you don’t have to sharpen every one of my knives,” you said flatly, watching him work silently at the bench beside you.
“I didn’t,” Mihawk replied, still honing the blade. “Only the dull ones.”
You blinked. “That was my butter knife.”
“Then it was very dull.”
From the far side of the ruins, Zoro grunted as he finished a set of squats. “He refilled their canteen twice this morning.”
“Once,” Mihawk corrected, still not looking up.
“Twice,” Zoro insisted. “Once after breakfast. Then again after they just looked at the sink.”
Perona floated down with a snort. “He also folded their coat. While they were still wearing it.”
You narrowed your eyes. “Wait. Is that why my sleeves were shorter for a second?”
“You had a wrinkle.”
“I always have a wrinkle.”
Mihawk looked up with that unreadable expression. “And now you don’t.”
Zoro huffed. “What even is this? He acts like a butler. But like, a scary one.”
Mihawk narrowed his eyes at him. “I’m not a butler.”
“Could’ve fooled me,” Perona muttered, arms crossed. “You fixed the strap on their satchel too.”
Mihawk didn’t respond to that.
Perona raised a brow. “You gonna deny it?”
“No,” Mihawk said coolly, “because it was crooked.”
Zoro leaned against a stone pillar, towel around his neck. “He also moved your seat at the dining table.”
“That was my seat,” you said.
Mihawk finally gave you a long, side glance. “You’ve sat on the left for the past four mornings. I simply ensured it remained consistent.”
You deadpanned. “You rearranged the furniture.”
“Briefly.”
Zoro stared. “And when they tripped over that vine—”
“I cut the vine before they fell,” Mihawk snapped with a tone just shy of defensive.
“Bro. You lunged across the courtyard.”
Mihawk sipped his wine calmly. “It was in the way.”
You raised an eyebrow. “And when you pulled me by the hood into the shade the other day?”
“You were overheating.”
“I wasn’t sweating.”
“You were blinking slowly.”
You stared. “That’s just how I blink.”
There was a long pause.
Then Perona gasped. “Wait, wait — you also fixed the strap on their scabbard!”
“I adjusted it. The weight distribution was uneven.”
Zoro clapped once, grinning. “So you are clingy.”
Mihawk’s eyes narrowed, the glint in them sharp and dangerous. “I am not.”
You leaned your chin on your hand, amused. “Then what would you call this?”
He paused. “Awareness.”
Perona lost it. “You mean hyper-awareness. Of one (1) person.”
Mihawk ignored her. “It’s strategic. I simply ensure you're at your most efficient.”
“That’s not efficiency,” Zoro said, wiping his forehead. “That’s doting.”
Mihawk arched a brow. “You think a swordsman cannot be observant?”
“You folded their laundry in order of fabric weight.”
“They prefer it that way.”
You blinked. “I never said that.”
He side-eyed you, expression cool. “You didn’t need to.”
You blinked again.
Zoro grunted. “You see? He’s acting like we’re all weird for noticing.”
Perona jabbed a finger toward him. “He's totally doing the ‘if I act calm, no one will notice I'm obsessed’ thing.”
Mihawk finally gave a soft, tired sigh — the kind that said you people are exhausting.
Then, turning to you, he asked, “Would you like tea?”
“I haven’t said I was thirsty.”
He didn’t blink. “You will be.”
You stared. “Are you psychic?”
“No,” he said simply. “You’re predictable.”
You squinted. “...That sounds like flirting.”
Mihawk blinked slowly. “I don’t flirt.”
Perona groaned. “OH MY GOD—”
Mihawk stood up, cloak sweeping behind him, expression unreadable as always. He held out the canteen like he’d already won this conversation.
You took it with narrowed eyes, muttering, “Thanks... I guess.”
He nodded, calm as ever. “You’re welcome.”
Zoro crossed his arms. “Still denying it?”
Mihawk looked at all of them — then at you — and with perfect poise said,
“I’m just efficient.”
And with that, he turned and walked away.
You stared after him, took a sip from the canteen, and sighed.
“…Efficiently annoying.”
Shared silences, reluctant teamwork, and one very accidental merienda — things are slowly shifting between you and Katakuri, whether you like it or not.

Married life, for all its dramatics, was remarkably uneventful.
You trained. He trained.
You ate. He ate — alone.
You slept on opposite sides of the suite, a whole couch separating your twin futons like it were a chasm made of disdain and mutual discomfort.
Still, the quiet had begun to change.
Not soften. Just… fill with different things.
You noticed it when you trained together.
At first, Katakuri wouldn’t spar with you — only watched from the sidelines with crossed arms and a face carved from stone.
But one morning, without a word, he stepped into the ring and beckoned.
You raised a brow. “You sure? Wouldn’t want to chip your perfect reputation.”
“Try not to die,” was all he said.
You lunged.
The fight lasted minutes. Sharp. Calculated. Brutal. Neither of you held back — not out of aggression, but something more primal. Something like curiosity. Respect hidden under heavy layers of sarcasm.
He pinned you once.
You flipped him once.
And by the time you both were catching your breath, you realized… this was the first time you’d looked him in the eye without wanting to throw a plate at his face.
It happened again the next day. And the next.
Soon, the guards were placing bets.
Another shift came during a mission.
You were sent together to oversee a transport of rare ingredients for Big Mom’s banquet — the sort of job usually given to siblings who worked well together.
You were not those siblings.
But despite the chilly atmosphere, the operation was smooth. Efficient. Maybe even too efficient, because when the job ended early, you found yourself in a quiet café at the edge of Totto Land.
Sharing tea.
“You always this quiet when not throwing punches?” you asked.
Katakuri sipped. “You always this nosy when not polishing your weapon?”
You snorted. “Fair.”
Silence. Then:
“…You’re not bad in the field.”
You blinked.
“…You too,” you replied cautiously, like the words were delicate glass.
Then, dryly: “Though you’re kind of a pain.”
His mouth twitched.
Was that a smile?
You blinked and looked away.
Nah. Must’ve been the wind.
It happened the next afternoon.
You came back to the estate early, your footsteps light, mind still buzzing from the strange calm that had started forming between you two. You hadn’t seen Katakuri since morning. Probably training. Or brooding.
You turned the corner of the west hall and—
Crunch.
You froze.
There he was.
Not in battle stance. Not dressed for war.
Just… sitting under the shade of a sugar apple tree in the inner garden, cross-legged on a blanket, a tall pile of donuts beside him.
Mouth uncovered.
Eyes closed.
Chewing slowly, almost in bliss, like he was savoring the flavor with his whole soul.
You blinked.
Once.
Twice.
Then, without thinking, your boot tapped a rock.
His head snapped toward you.
Time stopped.
You met his eyes. His real ones. Clear, sharp — and full of horror.
He reached for his scarf too late.
“You—” he started, standing up so quickly the plate of donuts nearly flipped. “You weren’t supposed to—”
“What, see you enjoying your afternoon snacks?” you said slowly.
His face hardened. “Don’t mock me.”
You crossed your arms. “Why would I mock you?”
“You’re going to tell the others. Or laugh. Or—”
You tilted your head. “You’re kinda handsome.”
He froze.
“What?”
“I said,” you repeated, unfazed, “you’re kinda handsome.”
“You—”
“Don’t get cocky. I said kinda.”
He gaped at you like you’d grown a second head. You, in turn, gave him a blank stare as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Then added, just to twist the knife: “Your mouth is a little big, though.”
“You—!!”
You smirked, turning to walk away.
“Wait.”
His voice was quieter now. Not angry. Confused. Almost… vulnerable.
You turned back.
He looked at you like you were a puzzle with missing pieces. Like he didn’t understand why you weren’t disgusted. Why you weren’t laughing.
“You’re not gonna say anything?”
You shrugged. “Not my business. But hey—”
You tossed a donut from his plate into the air, caught it, and took a bite.
“—thanks for the snack.”
He stared.
You winked.
And then left him there, standing under the tree, mouth still slightly agape, eyes tracking the place where you’d stood.
That night, for the first time, you found a small box of freshly made donuts placed carefully on your side of the suite.
No note.
Just a silent offering.
You smiled faintly and popped one into your mouth.
Maybe this marriage wouldn’t be so cold after all.
Hello, great and wonderful writer. Could you please write something romantic? Y/n is in the Navy. A high-ranking officer handling confidential information. A few years ago, she was recruited, or rather, kidnapped, by Shirohige's pirates. The reason was the younger sister of one of his crew members. Ace Fire Fist, his older brother. I looked at her from across the stone bars of the sea. Ace's head, part of his face, and ribs were bandaged. "You should at least listen to me. Was such violence against your brother necessary?" Go away, you whispered. Shirohige isn't my father. I hate you for bringing me here. Ace and Maco. Tell that scoundrel Phoenix he's a coward. Traitor. Y/n. I'm the daughter of the pirate king and part of the navy. I'll be promoted to Mary Geoise. Do you think they won't come for me because they have me in the Whitebeard? Let me go, Ace. Slightly blushing, ignoring Marco, who was arriving with Ace. Attacking me, attacking my subordinates by betrayal is unforgivable. This time, she glared furiously at Marco.
Please
hii! this is cool! tho i still have a bit of confusion, and i hope i delivered ur rqst well, I hope u like this~
Fractured Allegiance
Captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, Vice Admiral Y/N — daughter of the Pirate King — struggles between her loyalty to the Marines and the unexpected pull of those she once called traitors… especially the ever-patient Marco.

The stone bars between you and your brother were thick, carved from Seastone, humming with a subtle oppressive energy. You could feel it biting into your skin even from this distance, dulling your strength, your spirit, everything that made you you.
Ace was slumped on the other side, ribs and face wrapped in clean white bandages, his fire extinguished for now. You stared at him across the gloom of the ship's brig, arms crossed, uniform jacket rumpled but still bearing the Vice Admiral insignia with stubborn pride.
"You should at least listen to me," Ace muttered, voice cracking. "Was such violence against your brother necessary?"
You laughed — a hollow, bitter sound. "Go away," you said, coldly. Your voice didn't tremble. It hadn't in years.
You shifted your glare past him, past the flickering torchlight, to the familiar figure approaching from the stairs — golden hair, blue eyes sharp but cautious. Marco. Phoenix. The so-called First Division Commander.
You hated the way your chest clenched at the sight of him. You hated them all.
"Tell that scoundrel," you hissed, your eyes locking onto Ace again, "tell that phoenix he's a coward. A traitor. Just like you."
Ace winced, but he didn't rise to defend himself. Not today. Marco's steps slowed, his expression unreadable.
"Y/N," Marco said, voice low, too soft for your taste. "You can hate us all you want. But you're not going back-yoi"
You bristled. "Shirohige isn't my father! My blood runs from the Pirate King," you snapped. "And I'm a Vice Admiral. Marine. I earned my place. I will be promoted to Mary Geoise—" Your voice cracked, but you pushed forward, unwavering. "Do you really think the Navy won't come for me?"
Silence.
Marco's face twitched — just for a second — something like regret flashing behind his calm mask. Ace looked away entirely, staring at the floor, guilt heavy on his shoulders.
They didn’t answer. They didn't have to.
Your heart sank, cold and sharp like a knife between your ribs. They wouldn't come for you. Not when you were Roger’s daughter. Not when you were tainted.
Your fists clenched at your sides. "Let me go," you whispered, the words slicing the air like a blade. "Let me go, Ace. Marco. I'll pretend none of this happened. I'll—"
"You’ll do what?" Marco’s voice, quiet but cutting. You flinched.
"You'll report us?" Marco continued, stepping closer to the bars. His gaze never left yours. "Lead a Buster Call? Burn us alive? Like what happened to O'Hara?"
You bared your teeth. "Don't you dare compare me to the cowards who ordered that slaughter. I have honor. I—"
"You have pride," Marco corrected gently. "Same as Pops. Same as Ace."
You shook your head violently. "I don't need your lectures." The air was stifling. The walls seemed to press in. You hated them. You hated them so much it burned. And yet—
Your chest ached. You didn't know if it was from the Seastone... or the way Marco was looking at you. Not with pity. Not with anger. With something worse. Something almost tender.
You turned away sharply, feeling your cheeks heat against your will. You cursed yourself a thousand times over.
Hours passed. Maybe days. Time meant nothing inside the brig.
Ace brought you food. You didn't touch it. Marco checked your wounds. You slapped his hand away.
Every interaction was a battlefield — silent, brutal, exhausting. You refused to let your guard down. You refused to let them see you as anything but a Vice Admiral. A soldier. A daughter worthy of her father’s legacy.
But at night, when the others slept above deck and the ship swayed gently under the stars, you caught glimpses of Marco sitting across from your cell. Silent. Watching.
You thought at first he was standing guard. But it wasn’t that. It was worse.
Marco didn’t look at you like an enemy. He looked at you like someone he already mourned.
One night, when the bruises on your ribs throbbed too much to hide, you collapsed onto the cold stone floor, breathless.
Before you could bark at anyone, warm hands — frustratingly gentle — slid under your arms, lifting you with ease. You struggled, snarling curses, but Marco didn’t flinch.
"You stubborn little thing," he muttered, voice almost fond. "You're hurt. Stop pretending you're made of stone-yoi"
You froze. He could have mocked you. Could have gloated. Instead, he held you like you were fragile, precious.
You hated it. You hated that you didn't pull away immediately.
When he settled you back against the wall, slipping a folded coat behind your head for comfort, your heart hammered wildly against your ribs.
"You're a fool," you whispered hoarsely. Your throat burned, but the words came anyway. "A fool for thinking this ends well."
Marco smiled faintly — a soft, heartbreaking thing.
"Maybe," he agreed. "But you're not alone anymore, Y/N. Whether you like it or not."
You squeezed your eyes shut. You didn’t want this. You didn’t want the way your body remembered the warmth of his hands, the steadiness of his presence, the way your brother looked at you with aching hope instead of disappointment.
You didn’t want to belong anywhere but the Navy.
And yet… something inside you — broken and bleeding — whispered that maybe, maybe you were so tired of fighting.
The next morning, you sat cross-legged on the cell floor, staring at the iron key Marco had left just within reach.
No one else was around. Ace was above deck. Marco was gone, trusting you with a choice.
Freedom. Or trust.
You could leave. Slip into the waves, find a Marine ship, turn them all in. You could be the perfect Vice Admiral.
Or—
You looked at the open horizon through the porthole. The sea sparkled in the sunlight. Wild. Untamed.
Free.
Your fingers brushed the key. Your hand trembled.
And for the first time in years, you didn’t know which side you were fighting for.

It all started with a bang — literally.
One moment, you were helping Nami reorganize the treasure room. Next, the whole Thousand Sunny lurched with a loud BOOM, rattling the floorboards and sending gold coins scattering like fireworks.
"What now?" Nami groaned, hands on her hips.
You rushed topside with the others, weapons drawn or fists clenched — expecting an attack.
Instead, you got... two Luffys.
One perfectly normal, grinning Luffy. And one... not so normal.
The second Luffy floated lazily above the deck, hair glowing brilliant white, pupils swirling hypnotically, laughter bubbling from his lips like music.
"Y/N!!" both Luffys shouted at once when they saw you.
You took an instinctive step back.
"Nope," Zoro said immediately, reaching for his swords.
"Is it a mirror fruit?!" Usopp yelped.
"Did the Captain eat himself?!" Chopper wailed, clinging to Sanji's leg.
Robin tilted her head, studying the scene with polite interest. "Fascinating..."
Franky just laughed, "SUUUUPER confusing!"
"Focus!!" Jinbei barked, trying to corral the chaos.
But it was already too late. Both Luffys made a beeline for you, tripping over each other and crashing into your legs like toddlers desperate for attention.
Nami pressed two fingers to her temple. "I need a raise," she muttered.
You quickly learned that having two Luffys was both better and worse than you could imagine.
Better, because they were extra affectionate — offering you food, carrying your things, cheering whenever you smiled.
Worse, because they were in full competition mode.
Gear5!Luffy (as Chopper breathlessly called him) kept showing off — stretching his limbs into ridiculous cartoonish shapes, bouncing around like a rubber band on crack, pulling faces until you doubled over laughing.
"Look, Y/N!" he crowed one afternoon, turning his whole head into a massive heart, complete with a squeaky heartbeat sound.
Normal Luffy was no slouch either. He stuck to his strengths — stubbornness and sincerity.
"I don't need crazy powers," he told you solemnly, handing you a slightly squashed rice ball he'd made himself. "I'm already the best for Y/N!"
You bit into the rice ball, smiling despite yourself.
Meanwhile, the crew took sides — shamelessly.
"I bet the crazy one wins!" Franky announced loudly.
"No way," Sanji scoffed. "Y/N deserves normalcy."
"Technically," Robin mused, "both versions are Luffy."
"Yeah, but one’s glowing," Usopp said. "Glowing automatically makes you cooler."
Zoro snorted. "Idiots."
Brook just laughed. "Yohoho! Twice the Captain, twice the chaos!"
You wanted to protest — this isn’t a contest! — but then you’d look up and catch two sets of hopeful, sparkling eyes gazing at you, and the words would die on your tongue.
At first, it was cute.
They followed you everywhere — two shadows glued to your heels. They fought over who got to sit next to you at dinner, who got to carry your stuff during island stops, who could make you laugh harder.
Gear5!Luffy once turned the entire galley into a giant bouncy castle trying to impress you. Sanji screamed for three hours cleaning it up.
Normal Luffy responded by dragging you up the mast one night, pointing proudly at the sea of stars and whispering, "I wanted you to see somethin' only I can reach."
You sat there, high above the world, heart hammering against your ribs, wondering how you were supposed to choose between them.
But the tipping point came one evening.
The crew was gathered on deck — a rare, peaceful moment under a pink-streaked sky. Dinner plates were scattered everywhere, Brook strumming a soft tune on his violin.
You leaned against the railing, smiling at the sight.
Then — disaster.
Gear5!Luffy and Normal Luffy both lunged at you at once, trying to hand you a flower they'd picked from a nearby island.
Their arms tangled. They tripped. And with a yelp, they toppled overboard — dragging you with them.
The splash was enormous.
You resurfaced, spluttering and coughing, the two Luffys flailing beside you.
"Y/N!! Are you okay?!" they shrieked in perfect unison.
From the deck, Sanji was screaming bloody murder.
"YOU IDIOTS!! YOU COULD'VE DROWNED THEM!!"
Chopper was already tossing a lifesaver. Usopp was sobbing dramatically. Zoro just sighed, clearly contemplating letting you all drown to solve the problem.
Somehow, you all clambered back aboard, dripping wet and exhausted.
You sat there, shivering slightly, as the two Luffys crowded you again, guilt written all over their faces.
"I’m sorry," Normal Luffy whispered.
"Me too," Gear5!Luffy mumbled, his glow dimming.
You sighed heavily, wringing out your clothes. "You guys can’t keep fighting over me. You’re the same person, you know?"
They blinked at you.
"You both care about me. I care about you too. But... not if you hurt each other."
The deck fell silent.
Then, very slowly, the two Luffys turned — and smacked their foreheads together in a show of stubborn apology.
Thump.
You couldn't help it — you burst out laughing.
The tension shattered instantly. The crew joined in, cheering and clapping, Brook playing a jaunty tune.
"Looks like the Captain(s) learned their lesson," Robin said, smiling.
"Finally," Jinbei rumbled, folding his arms.
"Can we have just one Luffy now?" Nami pleaded.
You grinned, ruffling both Luffys' wet hair. "I'll take both for now."
They beamed at you — two idiots, one heart.
That night, you fell asleep curled between them on the deck, watching the stars wheel overhead.
For the first time in days, everything felt peaceful again.
You woke to soft snoring against your shoulder.
Blinking sleepily, you sat up — and found just one Luffy curled against you, straw hat sliding down to cover his eyes.
His hair was black again.
No swirling pupils. No crazy glow.
Just your Luffy.
You stared at him for a long moment, heart pounding in your chest.
The rest of the crew was stirring around the deck, yawning and stretching.
"Looks like whatever split him wore off overnight," Chopper said, checking Luffy’s vitals. "His heartbeat’s normal again."
"Amen," Sanji muttered, dragging a broom across the ruined galley.
Zoro shot you a sidelong look. "Guess you don’t have to choose anymore, huh?"
You smiled softly, brushing Luffy’s hair back from his forehead.
"No," you murmured, "I already chose."
Because whether he was wild or serious, glowing or not — he was still Luffy.
Yours.
Always.
And even if he didn’t remember everything that happened while split... The way he instinctively curled closer to you in his sleep said enough.
You leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.
"Idiot," you whispered fondly. "I love you too."
The sun rose over the horizon, golden and bright, as the Thousand Sunny sailed on, carrying you, your crew, and the boy who had somehow, impossibly, stolen your heart twice over.

The day was supposed to be simple.
You perched atop a crumbled temple ruin, legs dangling over the mossy stone, casually brushing dust off an ancient poneglyph slab. The symbols glowed faintly under your touch, and you tilted your head thoughtfully before speaking aloud in a clear, ancient tongue.
A bird cawed somewhere above, startled into flight — but otherwise, the jungle remained eerily quiet.
Unbeknownst to you (well, actually, you had sensed them miles away — you weren’t clueless), five very unwanted visitors were lurking nearby.
“This is it,” Spandam whispered, waving his arms like an overexcited tour guide. “The ruin where the said energy signature came from! Move it, CP9!”
"Tch, keep your voice down, idiot," Lucci muttered, hands stuffed lazily into his pockets, but his eyes sharpened in the direction of your voice.
"Huh? You hear that?" Jabra’s ears twitched as he sniffed the air dramatically. "Someone’s already here!"
"Impossible," Kalifa adjusted her glasses, heels clicking softly as she moved through the brush. "No civilian could've bypassed the government’s perimeter."
"Unless they’re better than you," Kaku quipped with a cheeky grin.
Kalifa glared. "You wanna test that theory, Giraffe-boy?"
They emerged from the dense foliage like a pack of chaotic hyenas, just in time to see you — calm, glowing faintly under the light of the poneglyph — speaking it aloud.
Dead silence.
You finished the last line, tapping the stone gently as if saying goodbye to an old friend. "Huh. That was easier than last time." Then you turned casually, meeting four wide-eyed CP9 agents and one screeching Spandam.
"Wh-WHAT?! Another one who can READ THEM?!" Spandam screeched, practically foaming at the mouth. He turned to his agents. "Capture them immediately!! They're government property now!!!"
You dusted off your hands, unfazed. "…Tch. Was hoping to avoid this." You rolled your neck until it cracked and lazily picked up your weapon of choice — a strange-looking whip, glowing faintly with ancient runes.
.
.
Lucci blurred forward with Soru, fingers twitching with deadly Shigan precision. But you sidestepped smoothly, your own body flickering with a power that looked suspiciously like Soru — but faster, a custom technique you called "Phantom Step."
He grunted in surprise, landing where you were, not where you are.
Kaku came next, flipping into the air with Rankyaku, sending a blade of compressed air slicing toward you.
You spun your whip, the ancient runes shimmering. With a casual flick, the whip shattered the air blade with a crack that shook the ruins.
Kalifa tried to close in with her Awa Awa no Mi powers, bubbles already forming between her fingers, smirking.
"Don’t worry, I’ll make you nice and clean," she purred, blowing a kiss laced with shimmering soap bubbles.
You blew her a kiss back — and in the same motion, snapped your whip to dissolve her bubbles mid-air.
"Sorry, sweetheart," you teased coolly. "I don't do bubble baths on first dates."
Kalifa stammered, cheeks flushing pink.
And then, Jabra — sweet chaotic Jabra — lunged at you in hybrid wolf form, snarling, fangs bared.
"You won't be so cocky once I chew your—"
You ducked under him mid-sentence, used Phantom Step to appear behind him, and flicked his ear with two fingers. "Down, boy."
Jabra yelped, skidding face-first into a wall.
"WHAT ARE YOU FOUR DOING?! CAPTURE THEM!!" Spandam shrieked again.
The CP9 agents stood there, battle-ready… but weirdly hesitant.
Because now that they’d actually seen you — how you moved, how effortlessly you dismantled their attacks, the cool confidence radiating off you — …it was way less about capturing you and way more about "holy shit, they're hot."
"They're… impressive," Lucci muttered under his breath, narrowed eyes lingering on the curve of your mouth when you smirked.
"No kidding," Kaku agreed, grinning wide.
"I wanna wrestle them," Jabra said immediately.
"Pervert," Kalifa and Kaku said in perfect unison.
You stretched lazily, letting your whip dangle at your side. "Look," you said, voice dripping with casual arrogance, "I don’t have time for government clowns. I got bigger stones to read, if you know what I mean."
Jabra visibly wagged his tail.
You decided it was time to leave.
But not without a little gift.
Later that night, when CP9 regrouped at their makeshift camp — bruised, flustered, and thoroughly bewildered — they found something waiting for them in the center of their campfire:
A small, folded piece of parchment.
On it: a crude little doodle of all four CP9 members getting their asses handed to them by a stick-figure version of you, labeled “ME :)”. And underneath, in neat cursive: "Catch me if you can. - (Y/N)"
Spandam combusted from rage. The others?
Lucci stared at the note for a long time, a smirk twitching at the edge of his lips. Kaku burst out laughing, clutching his sides. Kalifa looked like she wanted to be mad, but was mostly trying to hide her blush. Jabra immediately declared he was “in love.”
