#benn beckmann one piece

[nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos]

Got a little more done on Mr. Beckman. Some highlights around his hair and hand, some shadows around the shirt. Not sure how much more I'll do tonight.

Kicking myself for not keeping track of his skin pallete like I should have while I was working on his face/torso, but I'll figure it out.

Like the last one I'm not even gonna touch the rifle until last because it intimidates me. I know I enjoyed doing the metalwork last time, but just looking at it makes me want to cower into a corner.

I should probably go to bed now, but I may do a little more work first because he's just so stinkin pretty and ffs how dare he honestly he has NO RIGHT—

Benn Beckman needs more "x reader" fics. If anyone finds some, writes some or crafts some out of marble and stone with a chisel: tag me please. I will write more, myself, but I love reading him.

[i-am-vita]

Beckman Bodice Ripper pt. 4

It's finished!!! As far as my current abilities go. Not gonna lie, I'm mighty proud of that background 😂

Follow the process: 1, 2, 3, Final Cover

(Sorry, I couldn't resist 🤣)

But Designer Brain needs to turn it into an actual book cover:

Now it just needs a catchy phrase that fit those four lines to sum up the story of a widow who pays passage at the Red Force to start a new life somewhere else and fancies the First Mate during the voyage 😉

Who would’ve thought you needed someone older?

From the experiences you had. It just didn’t feel the same as how you were with him. He was mature, calm, and cool as a cucumber. With an appearance that showed his experience in life. Making him more attractive than any of the guys you dated around your age. It was even the way he held you warmly in his embrace as tears were wiped. Making you think you needed some older.Just a little bit colder. Take the weight off of your shoulders.

He was the perfect description of that “someone older.”

[alexa-fika]

hey I love your writing so much I had an idea but I’m not good at making stories so the other day I remember that when I was little I used to run a lot so I fell from a boat and you know I was swimming away while my parents almost got a heart attack how about a child reader with red haired pirates it would be funny , only if you want you don’t need to do it have a nice day or night

Take off (Red haired pirates x m!child!reader)

A/N Here we go, guys can you believe this is the last of the requests from APRIL like that’s so crazy to me, I want to take you for all of the requests and for trusting me to bring them to life

Reader here is replaced by Dokucha which stands for Readerin Japanese

Dividers by @/saradika

The Red forced was the same as always, with lively chatter among the crewmates as they partied over their newest conquests, not taking their eyes off the child running along the Deck

“What has got you this happy, Dokucha?” Lucky piped in, taking a bite from his chicken and laughing merrily at the young boy

“Uncle Shanks found a plane in the loot!” He cheered, waiving around said toy around

“Why did they even have toys? The crew didn’t have any children on them,” Limejuice questioned, downing down a mug of beer

“The crew was big on woodwork; they had a couple of pieces here and there littered on the loot,” Shanks answered, joining the group with his own mug in his hand, his first mate not far behind

Dokucha grinned, ignoring their chatter as they launched the toy, beaming as it glided around and rode on the same wind that pulled the Red Force along

“Dokucha, watch where you are going!” Yassop called as the child ran behind the plane, trying to take hold of it

“Don’t w-

His words die out as the floor disappears behind him, and they quite literally run themselves out of the ship. The last thing he heard was the scream of his name as he made an impact with the water, another splash following after his

He gripped onto Beckman’s similarly soaking clothes as he pulled himself over the side of the deck

“Im sorry, Daddy,” he cried, hugging him tighter and sobbing into Beckman’s already drenched shirt as they both sat on the Deck, Hongo crouching in front of the two, checking over the boy, the rest of the crew crowding around the two much to the displeasure of the first mate, a glance to his captain was all the latter needed to quickly dismiss them, leaving only the officers littering the deck

“Everything seems in order; no water seems to have entered the lungs, and no damage from the impact; next time, make sure you pay attention to where you’re running, okay?” He asked, giving Dokucha a small smile as he ruffled his hair and took his leave

Teary eyes glance up at his father, trying to gauge his emotions

He sighed, turning them around on his lap so that they were facing him, as he wiped the tears from the boy, his own dripping hand not making much difference

“I saw the dive you did before you hit the water,” he comments, giving up in the action as he recalls the safety position he had seen them take before colliding with the water

“You told me to do it if I ever fell in the water.”

“You did well; you had good reflexes as well; now we just need to practice keeping our eyes on the path,” he said softly, rubbing his knuckles against his cheeks

“You’re not mad?”

“We’re pirates; we’re going to have our slops from time to time; everyone here has fallen to the water at least once, though not everyone was as gentle as you, ain’t that right, Punch?”

The latter lets cackles as he happily takes over the small boy as he recalls the less-than-proud moments from the crew

“You know, Monster here once fell overboard; you should have seen the little rascal. It was like watching a b….

Beck watches his son regain his previous demeanor at Punch’a stories go on, and he heads to his quarters to replace the now flimsy box of cigarettes lost to the sea

“Shanks,” he called

“Hm?”

“You are banned from giving any Toys to Dokucha.”

“W-What, come on, Beck! We can talk about it,” the captain whined, following after his vice-captain

Uncle privileges revocked 😂

@fanaticsnail here, have a sit 🤭

[allbluedepths]

Started wondering about how Beckmann views/interacts with Mihawk post him stopping dueling Shanks and the fallout around that. Because while I think they'd at least have an neutral-to-mutual-respect relationship during Shanks and Mihawk's dueling years, I think things would be a bit different after that, with Beckmann being protective over Shanks' well-being once Shanks and Mihawk begin to be in real contact again.

(read more because this got a bit out of hand haha)

My personal headcanon is that Mihawk stopped coming around for a good while after they officially stopped dueling. Shanks understood that Mihawk was upset (though not fully why), but he still thought Mihawk would visit. So when he doesn’t… yeah, he doesn’t take it well. The majority of the crew never realizes something’s up, but Beckmann very much bears the brunt of it because the captain is his responsibility. So, once it becomes evident Mihawk may be reconnecting with his captain, Beckmann makes it abundantly clear that Mihawk does not get to waltz back in if he’s just going to leave again and send Shanks spiraling once more.

(Because it isn’t just Shanks spiraling; it’s Shanks fooling everyone else that he’s okay but falling apart in his cabin at night. And it’s Beckmann who’s dragging him out of whatever bottle he’s found and making sure he gets to bed instead of reminiscing and staring out over the waves for someone who won't return. Because Mihawk is the closest thing Shanks has had to a real relationship — and now, a real breakup — and it’s ugly, and awful, and while Mihawk is allowed to leave, Beckmann is the one that chose to stay and do his damndest to put Shanks back together.)

For the record, Beckmann doesn't think Shanks is innocent in all this; he's known him since he was a teenager, and he's incredibly aware of how poor of a communicator he can be. But in this case, Beckmann understands just why he'd give up so much for Luffy and is frustrated that it doesn't seem like Mihawk is even trying to understand. He knows he can't fully wrap his head around the importance of their duels and everything that their complicated, intertwined relationship is, but again, he's the one picking up the pieces here.

So no, Beckmann isn't going to say Mihawk shouldn't stay for a drink. But he is going to make it abundantly clear that his captain has lost enough people already in his life, over and over and over, and Shanks doesn't need yet another ghost to haunt him.

(Mihawk just nods and walks away, not out of disagreement, but because he isn't the type to hold words over actions. And he definitely needs to ruminate over what Beckmann said for a while because he never knew things got that bad. Beckmann and him might not be best friends, but he does respect Beckmann's place as Shanks' first mate and his duty to protect him.)

I do think things would slowly improve as Shanks and Mihawk repair their relationship, so this isn't a super angsty headcanon. But I would say there'd eventually be a sentiment of "you earned your second chance after all" versus "you defend him better than anyone else could" — though they'd never say it out loud or that directly, haha.

TL;DR I really love captain and first mate dynamics and how those interact with other relationships. : )

Look at how beautiful he is! @nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos you've done an amazing job. Thank you for your service 🙏.

Final update for a bit because I'm tired.

Apart from touching up, clothing, skintone, and hair are finished. Base colors for the rifle are laid out. Just gotta do the earring, chair, cig, a few smoke swirls, and this might actually be finished by tomorrow.

And all because I couldn't stop thinking about Beck with his hair down 😑

A promise is a promise! (even if it wasn't a promise but a suggestion XD). I'm still newbie in the NSFW writing department but working on it 👀

Beckman at the Bathhouse

Getting the shift at the front desk of the bathhouse may be boring to most of your coworkers but for you it never gets old. You never know what kind of people may visit and you have to be on your best to deal with the unexpected.

Like the scary man with the giant sword and resting bitch face from the morning who booked a room for the weekend. Or the beautiful woman from an hour ago who came looking like she hadn't slept for a week, no luggage but a small hip bag, paid in cash for a room and a bath "as soon as possible, please" and didn’t wait for you to give the protocol speech.

And now a whole crew of sailors asking for rooms with direct access to the hot springs and your best sake.

This group looked like trouble, not the evil but the mischief one. Especially the redhead with the strawhat and the wide grin. But it was a calm dark haired man who approached your desk to ask for the accommodations.

You couldn't help but admire his tall, dark and serious countenance and the tense pose of his broad shoulders that speak of tension as much as the lines of concern in his face.

Poor man looks like he may need the rest the most out of the group.

You called through the Den Den Mushi Comms for more staff to host the group and guide them to his rooms.

While his crewmates were distracted, and after paying for the week, the dark haired man discreetly passed you an extra little wad of berries in the highest denomination.

“For the inconveniences…”

“Oh, sir, there’s no need.” You add in a low voice since the man seems to want to be discreet. “We are fully prepared to attend big groups…”

“Believe me, miss, you’re going to need it.” He explained with a pained expression on his handsome features.

“That bad, uh?”

“You have no idea. I may double it by the end of the week.”

You couldn’t hide a small chuckle. One way or another, big groups always cause a certain amount of trouble. You wish all of them had at least one person this thoughtful.

“How considerate of you, mister…”

“Beckman… Benn Beckman, miss.”

“Mr. Beckman… One last thing.” You called him, recovering your professional manners. “If you have a Portable Den Den Mushi with you, it may not send or receive any outside signal at the island but the tower at the beach does if you need to make a call.”

He gave you a little nod and followed his crewmates to their designated room, some of them not even waiting to start getting rid of their shirts, including Beckman giving you a full view of his muscular back.

A little gasp escaped your mouth before he disappeared through the hallway.

.

Five minutes later you heard the very telling sound of a delicate wood wall being torn down.

That was fast.

The junior staff looked at you like their savior (you being the only senior staff currently on shift) while you walked down the hallway to the current room of the group and knocked on the door.

The sliding door was opened by Beckman who seems to be the designated manager of the group. The movement left his arm up, the posture making his bathrobe open and stretch over all the right places of his well built torso and you were at eye level of most of them.

It took you a certain amount of seconds to look up.

Eyes up, woman. Do not drool on the guests during your shift. You chastised yourself.

You work at a bathhouse. He wasn’t the first half naked man you were in front of. In fact, the room was full of men in different states of undress, as you could see over Beckman’s shoulder. Along with the destroyed wall through which you saw the redhead embracing the woman from an hour ago like some lost lovers who find each other again.

As far as you knew, that could be the case.

“Ehm… Apologies, miss. It has started.” Said the man with a little grin that contrasted with his previous serious countenance.

That small gesture on his lips turned the lonely butterfly flying in your stomach into a full swarm.

“So it seems. Was there another damage or some injury?” You tried to recover your professionalism by assessing the situation.

“No, miss.”

“Then you seem to be doing better than most of the usual incidents.”

“Aye, I hope that cash is enough for this one.”

“Oh, do you happen to have more taken into consideration?”

“You have no idea.”

Much later, Beckman would confide in you that he has an unusual amount of savings prepared for any sudden incident and property destruction.

“Then I’ll leave you to it, mr. Beckman.”

“Just Beck, please. We'll be seeing each other quite often in the coming days.” He said, widening his grin.

For business, he means business. Do not read into that!

“Of course, mr… Beck. Have a nice day. We’ll deal with the wall while you are at the springs.” You answered before walking away from the door without noticing the man’s eyes fixated on your retiring form.

You may think you controlled your facial features well enough but you couldn’t hide the soft blush on your cheeks or that little gasp from the interested gaze of the Redhead’s First Mate.

.

Ten minutes later, a very flustered junior staff member was at your desk mumbling something about having been retiring the pieces of the wall from the crew’s room when something came up.

You took pity on the kid and walked to the empty room to seek the problem just to find two other staff standing at the entrance equally flustered. Your unspoken question was answered by a feminine moan coming from the other side of the slightly ajar door that led to the hot springs through which you could peek at the bright red hair of a man in a passionate embrace with a woman.

With all the composure you always have as a hospitality professional (tall, dark and serious aside), you walked to the door, closed it properly and prompted the staff to take out the rubbish and stop fussing like newbies.

.

That evening you were in much need of a break. Your shift finally ended with the return of the rest of the staff from their time off out of the island. Because of course you would have a mischievous group of sailors when you were short staffed.

Wall aside, they were just the usual big group troubles: extra moping, taking out the spare supply of towels and making an inventory of the food and drink a little earlier than usual so you were well stocked for their week. Even the drunk shenanigans were tamed in comparison to others. Guys were polite drunks if a little noisy but that was normal.

Judging by Beckman’s behavior, you expected some kind of catastrophe.

The worst was one of the guys falling and hurting his forehead a little, not enough to draw blood but Beck seemed concerned and went directly to you to ask for an ice pack…like getting out of the hot springs with just a towel at his hips kind of directly.

Eyes up, woman, eyes up!

But it was all in naught, your eyes having already made a path throughout his long legs and muscular thighs.

That he was in full dad mode making sure that his crewmate got the proper attention didn’t help either.

And that he thanked you wholeheartedly and apologized again for inconvenience by taking your hand and kissing your knuckles almost got you as flustered as the poor juniors from some hours ago.

The shift change couldn’t arrive soon enough but when they did you briefed them into the day’s events and walked away to your favorite spot on the beach, lying on a towel to unwind and enjoy the last sun rays.

The sounds of heavy steps on the sand alerted you of the presence of a person. You turned to find Beckman walking towards you, though he was coming from the phone tower. The loose yukata courtesy of the bathhouse wide opened over his chest showing off his prominent pecs and abs all the way down to his belly button…

Why on all the Blues does he have to be that effortlessly attractive?

“Apologies, miss, I didn’t mean to startle you.” He said, smiling widely. Whatever tension in him from earlier has evaporated entirely.

“No need, sir. Feeling better?” You can’t help pointing it out.

“Just Beck, please. Sir or mister makes me feel older.” He reminded you of his nickname. “Did I look so bad earlier?” He made a little gesture to the spot beside you that you answered with a little nod of your head as an invitation to accompany you.

“Right, Beck.” You relished in pronouncing his nickname for the first time while he sat next to you. “Let’s say you looked quite preoccupied when you arrived.”

“Yeah, vacation time it’s normally when I need to be more focused instead of relaxed.”

“Oh, what changed this time?”

“Captain got back his babysitter and I can finally take time for myself.” He explained lying on the sand with his arms crossed behind his head.

That had to be the redhead and the woman from earlier.

“May I inform you that your captain and his girlfriend have already traumatized half of my junior staff.”

“And I’m thoroughly sorry for that.” Beck answered not sounding sorry at all with a wide grin on his lips.

“And I’m afraid he would have to pay the toll for frolicking in public spaces.”

Beck gave you a scandalized look.

“Is that a thing?”

You gave him a mischievous one.

“Maybe…”

“One way or another, we always have to pay for something.” He added with a resigned sigh.

“Does he give you a hard time regularly?”

“You have no idea.”

“So you keep saying.” You moved to rest on your side in a manner that you know enhances the curve of your waist and hips. Thanking past you for deciding to wear your favorite bikini.

Normally it wasn’t frowned upon to get close to a guest if one was discreet and out of their shift. It wasn’t a common occurrence for you but you couldn’t deny Beckman’s appeal and that it had been some time since you found yourself this attracted to a man this fast.

“I would like to get the idea…” You whispered in a sultry voice.

Beckman’s eyes went back to your face after having traveled through your figure. Him lying on his side, one hand supporting his head, mimicking your own pose. It really has been a while since he had time for himself and he wasn’t going to reject an advance from a beautiful woman. Afer all, he had spent most of the day assessing your reactions to him, even blessing poor Roux for giving him a reason to look for you after his little fall earlier.

“Oh… And how much of an… idea would you like to get?” He asked, bringing his face closer to yours.

“As much as you’re willing to share…” You answered before closing the space between your lips.

Beck’s free hand went to your waist to get you closer to him. Your own went directly to his wide chest, finally feeling the hardness of his muscles after being subjected to their sight all day.

He interrupted the kiss to gently place you on your towel. You took advantage of having both hands free to slide his yukata over his broad shoulders and roam over his skin, feeling the muscles of his back.

“Won’t we have to pay the frolic toll, too?” Beck joked while getting his arms out of the sleeves and letting you lead him to another passionate kiss.

“I got a pass… and may be persuaded… to give you one too…” You said between kisses while guiding Beck’s strong body over yours. Man was built like a fridge and his weight over yourself felt divine. His big hands fondled your thighs and guided your legs around his hips.

“Just one?” He asked, kissing down your neck to your cleavage and starting to slided the straps of your bikini with his mouth.

“As much as you can persuade me to give you.”

Benn Beckman was set to show how convincing he could be.

A request from the snail:

If anyone ever feels so inclined to ever write me a little gift...

...I have been feeling some kind of way about Benn Beckmann lately.

@sordidmusings @gingernut1314 @i-am-vita @writingmysanity @feral-artistry thoughts?

[alexa-fika]

Hi Alexa! I've been obsessed with this idea but haven't seen enough of it going around on Tumblr especially for the one piece crowd.

So can I have a borrower!reader getting caught by the red hair pirates?

Reader is borrowing and on there way back to the walls they get caught by Shanks and Benn. Reader is scared of the two as Shanks gathers the rest of the crew to discuss the "mouse issue" It's up to you how it ends whether they drop Reader off at the next island or let them stay with them on the ship

As always remember to take care of yourself before accepting any requests, you come first ♡

Pest Problems ( Benn Beckmann x mouse!gn!Reader x Shanks)

A/N okay I just noticed that you wrote that they were scared but I din’t really have them be afraid more like feisty im sorry if this was not what you were looking for but I think I COOKED but thank you so much for requesting I had so much fun with this one!

Reader here is replaced by Dokucha which stands for Reader in japanese

Dividers by @/saradika

“Man, these guys sure are loaded,” Dokucha mutters, looking through the supplies of their latest target, trying to decide on what they would take

“Maybe I should go for gold this time… I did make quite a food haul last time,” they said, flickering one of the golden coins they had found up in the air

“Gold it is!” They said, bending down and looking through the treasure

They stop rummaging when they feel cold metal making contact with their head, their ears flickering around once they hear the ominous sound of a gun being loaded, the smell of cigarettes filling the room

They slowly raise their hands at the silent threat

“Hands up and no sudden movements, understand?"

The figure stood firm, staring down at them; they were very tall with a muscular upper body that seemed to have almost doubled in size compared to their current form.

His hands were gripping tight around the barrel of his gun as he prepared it at the slightest motion.

“Knew our resources were running out too fast.”

“Hey… I'm sure this is just a big misunderstanding.”

"Misunderstanding?

I just saw you rummaging around our storeroom, and the supplies seem to have decreased drastically. How can it be a misunderstanding?" He said narrowing his eyes and blowing a thin wisp of smoke leaving his lips.

“Well, when you put it like that, it makes me sound like a bad guy here.”

He rolls his eyes at you before speaking again.

"I mean, isn't that exactly what you are right now? Stealing from our storage room."

He sighs slightly, and his grip on the gun seems to loosen slightly; however, he was still keeping the gun aimed at you.

“Turn around.”

They sighed, following his command and slowly turning around. Keeping their hands up

He begins to rummage through your pockets and belongings. Pulling out all of the coins and supplies that you had found and taken in the storage room.

“Gee, is that how you treat everyone you just met?”

He puts his hands in his pocket and lets out a chuckle.

“Haha, no.. just thieves.”

Finally, after he had taken everything, he turned you around to face him again.

The gun was still aimed at you, but his body language had drastically changed as he lowered his hands.

“You have balls for coming to a crew’s ship and simply stealing from them.”

He looks you up and down before speaking again

Dokusha narrow their eyes at him until a smile grows on their face

They quickly shift into their mouse form and scurry past the First mate

Shifting back to their human form as they reach the door

“Toodles! No hard feelings, just living life!” They laugh, running out the door only to be stopped by a sword blocking their way out of the storage room

“Woah there, sorry, but I'm going to have to stop you right there,” A red-haired pirate says with a small smile as they block their escape

“Come on!”

“No, you can’t just steal from the supplies and then make a run for it” he says blocking your way out while still keeping that light smile.

“Now if you could follow me that would be much appreciated”

They grumble, brushing off his approach with a flick of their tail and a small mutter of ‘I can walk on my own,’ leaving their lips

“Is this really necessary?” They said, pulling at the rope now keeping them tied to one of the masts next to the stirring wheel of the ship, within eyesight of both the Captain and First mate

Shanks just gives the mouse-hybrid another small smile

“Sorry, lil Mix, it’s been three times you have said you will stay still and three times you have tried to run off; we just need you to stay still till we figure out what we’re going to do.”

“We are in the middle of the sea; where would I possibly go?”

“Haha, I know, but I can never be sure. I don't want you turning into a mouse and scurrying off somewhere. That's why I've tied you up properly this time."

“Ugh”

“Are they real?” the Crew’s doctor, who had been called along with the rest of the officers to discuss their latest infestation, said, rubbing one of their mouse ears

“How rude! Of course, they are real; what kind of question is that!” They said, slapping Hongo’s hand away

Hongo looks offended as his hands are slapped away.

Yassop snickers at this

“Hey, boss, can we keep them?”

“The hell do you mean to keep me? Come over here, and I‘ll show you something about ‘keeping me!”They said, pulling at the ropes trying to lunge at the sniper

“Woah there!” He says with a laugh backing up away from their range

“Now, Now my men are just joking; we won’t keep you here if you don’t want to; the ropes are there because although I don’t mind you running around, I also can’t have you stealing supplies and stirring trouble.”

“What a gentleman.”

He chuckles at you again, not seeming to mind your sarcasm or attitude.

“Listen, we don’t mean any harm; no one here does, but we also can’t have you just take away our supplies.”

“Okay, I get it. I won’t run away so can you please take them off?”

“Said that last time,” sighs Beckmann

“Okay, I mean it this time, though!”

Benn glances at his captain, getting up and approaching the uninvited visitor when the latter gives him a confirmation gesture. He easily cuts through the ropes, holding them still and backing down, waiting to see their next action

They rub at their hand, glancing up at them

“Are you going to let me go?”

“Where will you go?”

“Fail to see how that is any of your concern.”

“We have a few days till we reach land, so until then you are stuck on this ship, so I think it is my concern,” Shank says, shaking his head

“Regardless, since you decided to board the ship, then you are also expected to help around here,” Beckmann says, glancing at them

“What if I don’t.”

“Then we have to assume you are here for malicious intentions and deal with you accordingly,” Benn states, simply wiggling the rope that he had removed from them a few minutes ago

They grimace at the thought of staying in the same mast for days. These people did not seem the type to starve them or let them suffer from the elements, but the thought of having to spend days with one hand tied to a mast, unable to leave and under the vigilant eye of the captain and Vice-captain did not sound fun by any means

Im sorry I think I really lacked with the interactions of the other pirates I kinda wanted to center on shanks and beckmann for this one

Fluff Alphabet: Benn Beckmann

Aaaaaaand here’s the other commission you ordered from me, @starblazer124​! Enjoy <3

A-   Activities: How do they spend their time with their s/o?

Benn’s a fairly laid-back guy (pirate shenanigans aside), so he really doesn’t mind how he spends his time with his s/o as long as his s/o is happy; whatever they like to do, he likes to do. If his s/o insists that he choose the activity, however, he’ll generally opt for a relaxing option. He loves to just lounge around and cuddle with his s/o while reading the newspaper, or watch the sunset in comfortable silence, or enjoy a nice, romantic dinner together. Benn gets enough excitement with his hot-blooded captain and crew, so he truly cherishes the calm moments that he can get with his s/o. 

B- Body: What does this character appreciate about their s/o? What part of their body are they most proud of, and in reverse, what body part are they ashamed of and how do they respond to their s/o gushing over it?

Benn’s a playboy; that’s no secret. And when he eventually settles for one person in particular, that history translates into what he finds attractive about his partner. Meaning he finds everything about them attractive. If his s/o thinks that they have a physical flaw, well, they won’t for very long after getting with Benn. He lays the compliments on thick, and he means every word, too. Seriously, this man will find a way to make toenails seem sexy. It’s honestly kind of an art form. 

Benn enjoys someone gushing over his physique or another aspect of his appearance, and he’ll play along; but, to be honest, he really doesn’t think much about it. He believes himself attractive and that’s really about it. If his s/o gushes about a physical trait that they like about him, he doesn’t get flustered. In fact, he just sees it as an invitation to start shamelessly flirting!

C- Cuddles: Is this character a cuddler? What is their favorite way to cuddle?

Benn doesn’t realize the joy of cuddling until he settles down with a single partner. With others, he just did it for the sake of playing the field; but, with his s/o, he honestly starts to enjoy it. His favorite way to cuddle is in bed with his partner in his arms, facing him. He loves the intimacy, and unlike with spooning, it’s way easier to surprise ‘em with some smooches!

D- Dreams: How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Like most everyone else in the crew, Benn’s dream is to realize his captain’s dream; until he meets his s/o, he really doesn’t put much thought into what comes after that. However, as he begins to get more with serious with a partner, he considers that it might be nice to settle down on some tropical island and live out his days lazing in a hammock sipping drinks out of coconut shells—with his partner at his side, of course. 

E- Equivalence: Is this character the dominant force in the relationship, are they passive, or is the relationship more or less even?

As I said before, Benn’s one of the most level-headed guys in the Red-Haired Pirates—but he’s not exactly passive. It really depends on the partner’s personality, how the dynamics of the relationship play out; that being said, Benn is certainly one to be mindful of his partner’s agency and certainly isn’t controlling. He’s always willing to discuss things with his partner, and he would never dream of making a decision on their behalf without consulting them first. 

F- Fights: How does this character respond to arguments with their s/o? What would they fight about, and who would cave and apologize first?

Everybody gets frustrated, and Benn is no exception. If there is a disagreement between him and his s/o, he’s not immune to getting caught up in the heat of things. He does his best, though, to not raise his voice, and he’s not the type to get violent with them or the environment. He’s got a handle on his emotions, and if he feels like he’s getting too heated, he’ll exit the argument to cool off. It doesn’t take him long, and he’s able to revisit the topic of contention with a clear head so that he can gather his thoughts. If he realizes that he’s in the wrong, then he’ll apologize immediately. If he still believes that he’s in the right, then he’ll approach the conversation with tact and calmly talk things out with his partner (though he’ll still usually apologize for things escalating to an argument). 

G- Gratitude: How does this character show their s/o that they are grateful?

Benn is a believer in solid communication, and so he’ll just tell his partner outright! He’ll usually accompany it with a gift of some sort, though. Words are great and all, but they’re best when coupled with actions, in his opinion. Plus, there’s is no greater gift to him than seeing his partner’s face light up with a happy smile at his lovely words and thoughtful presents. 

H- Honeymoon: If this character had a honeymoon with their s/o, where would they go?

A remote island where nowhere will bother them—that’s Benn’s ideal honeymoon! It doesn’t have to be anything fancy at all. All he desires is some peace and quiet so he and his s/o can bask in their love and new life together. That being said, if his s/o has their heart set on a particular honeymoon destination, then Benn will gladly oblige. He cares far more about their happiness than anything. 

I- Insecurity: What is this character insecure about? How do they deal with their insecurities with their s/o?

Once Benn enters a serious relationship, he worries that his womanizing history will result in trust issues on his partner’s side. He doesn’t come right out with that, at first, instead doing everything he can to reassure his partner that he has eyes for them and them only. If his partner ever does try to get to the bottom of his insecurity, though, he’ll be honest about it and reiterate how invested he is in the relationship. The last thing he wants is his partner to doubt his devotion to them just because of the things he got up to in the past. 

J- Jealousy: Is this character the jealous type? How do they deal with being jealous?

It honestly depends on his partner’s personality. If he is convinced that his partner can take care of themselves, then Benn doesn’t get jealous, even if someone is flirting openly with his partner. He trusts them to handle it, and he’ll intervene only if it’s obviously necessary. If his partner is very passive or naïve, then it’s a different story. It’s not really that he gets jealous, though; he just gets far more protective. 

K- Kiss: What does the character want their first kiss to be like with their s/o? How does it end up happening?

Benn doesn’t really think much about planning the “perfect” first kiss. He’s been around the block, and he believes that these things just happen when the time is right. He is definitely the type to kiss on the first date, though, so he most likely just plants one on his s/o when the moment speaks to him!

L- Love Confession: How does this character first profess their love to their s/o?

Love is a whole new territory for Benn. He’s had plenty of flings, but he’s never gotten bit by the love bug until his s/o. He’s far more obsessed with finding the right moment with his confession than he is with things like their first kiss; he plans the perfect romantic date and gets a whole speech together. It would be very romantic, honestly, if the crew hadn’t caught on to him catching feelings and all tagged along to spy on Benn trying to confess. A rowdy group of pirates is not exactly conspicuous. 

M- Marriage: How does this character view marriage? What is their ideal wedding like?

Benn, for the longest time, maintains that he’ll never get married. Having strings attached really isn’t his style, and he likes his lascivious lifestyle. Once he gets into a serious relationship, however, he reconsiders the idea. He begins to fancy making that lifetime promise to his s/o; after all, he genuinely doesn’t want anyone else. If his partner desires a ring and a wedding and a commitment, then Benn is more than happy to give it. 

Ideally, he’d like to just get married at a courthouse somewhere and be done with it, but he knows that’s not going to happen. The crew would be so depressed at the lack of a party. And, if his partner desires a ceremony and reception and the whole shabang, he certainly won’t deny them that. He really doesn’t care how it happens as long as he can meet his partner at the altar and exchange vows. 

N- Nicknames: What does this character like to call their s/o?

Benn’s not creative with his pet names. “Honey,” “sugar,” and “sweetheart” are his particular go-to’s, but he throws around a fair number of them. 

O- On Cloud Nine: What is this character like when they’re in love? Is it obvious to others, or are they good at hiding it?

It might be the first time that Benn’s bitten by the lovebug when he gets involved with his s/o, but he’s not some bungling teenager. He can disguise it quite well. It’s only when he’s really head-over-heels that his crew picks up on it. Then, of course, the cat’s out of the bag; there’s no way it’ll be a secret, not with the Red-Haired Pirates! 

P- PDA: Does this character like PDA? If so, what kinds of things do they do in public to show off their s/o?

Benn’s not overbearing with his PDA, but he doesn’t mind it. He like having an arm around his partner’s shoulders or middle, and he’ll drop kisses on the cheek, forehead, hair, etc. fairly often. If he’s a little tipsy or in an exceptionally good mood, he’ll let his partner sit on his lap. Other than that, he prefers for the steamier interactions to be in private. Honestly, it’s mostly because he doesn’t want to hear the crew ragging him about it. 

Q- Quirks: What random traits or quirks does this character have that positively affect the relationship?

Benn’s very observant (even without Haki!). He definitely picks up on little things about his s/o and commits them to memory for later use. If his s/o is eyeing something in a store, Benn will buy it, often times without his partner knowing so he can surprise them with it. It doesn’t take him long to know all his partner’s favorites. He quickly gets a handle on their moods and thought processes, so there’s no hiding anything from him; he can instantly tell when they’re upset or bothered. 

R- Romance: Is this character a hopeless romantic, or a bit on the low-key side? Are they cliché when it comes to romantic gestures, or can they get a little bit creative?

Benn tends to swing back and forth. Most of the time, he’s more on the low-key side; he’s not the most emotive or expressive guy, preferring tried-and-true romantic gestures to convey his feelings. Sometimes, however, he gets a little more overwhelmed by his feelings for his partner. He has rare moments where he really lets his walls down and just swoons! He’ll definitely plan some more extravagant gestures, and they’re heart-throbbingly romantic! <3

S- Secrets: Are there any secrets they hide from their s/o? If so, how do they deal with it when those secrets finally come out?

Benn doesn’t really keep secrets, no. It’s not really his style to do so in a serious relationship. He believes that communication is key, and so, if he believes that it is something that his partner should know (even if he might not necessarily want them to), then he’s going to be up-front about it. 

T- Thrill: Does this character prefer routine in their relationship, or do they like to shake things up every once in a while?

Benn’s undoubtedly a thrillseeker; he’s a pirate! When it comes to his relationship, however, he definitely prefers to be more grounded in routine. It’s a comfort to him, having something steady in such an unpredictable lifestyle. Having little routines with his partner, things they do every day, motivates him. That being said, Benn knows that variety is the spice of life, and so he’ll go for a little spontaneity when the mood strikes him. He’s also not afraid to take advantage of good opportunities to make his partner happy when they come along. 

U- Understanding: Is this character level-headed and empathetic toward their partner, or do they sometimes have trouble figuring them out, which leads to some butting heads?

As I said before, Benn is very observant, and so he very quickly gets an understanding of how his partner operates. Therefore, it’s easy for him to be level-headed and empathetic toward his partner since he knows intimately how they think. 

V- Value: How does this character value their relationship with their s/o? How does it hold in comparison to their goals, ambitions, etc.?

Getting into a relationship with Benn means accepting his desire to see Shanks acquire the One Piece. That’s his captain and his best friend, after all; they’ve been together for a very long time, and so, it’s not easy for Benn to place something else about realizing Shanks’ ambitions. However, as the relationship with his partner grows more serious, Benn does consider more and more how certain decisions and actions could jeopardize it. It may not be more important than his goal, but it certainly changes how he approaches certain things; he takes extra care to make sure that he always comes home to his partner at the end of the day. 

W- Wild Card: Any random fluff headcanon that does not fall within the other categories!

Benn loves to slow-dance with his partner. It is the height of romance to him. Any opportunity to dance with his partner, he’s gonna take. Sometimes, he gets a musically-inclined member of the crew to play romantic music so that he can dance with his s/o! He’s quite good at it, too, to the point that he knows several ballroom dances. One has to wonder where he picked that up. 

X- XOXO: How does this character show affection?

Benn’s pretty versatile in the ways that he shows affection, but if one love language had to predominate, it’s words of affirmation. This guy’s years of philandering gifted him quite the silver tongue. He just loves complimenting his s/o and making them feel good, loves reassuring them or comforting them after a long day or a conflict or a fight, loves that he can be honest and open about his feelings with them and only them. Again, though, he believes words are best coupled with actions, so it’s usually paired with some other form of showing his affection depending on what the situation may call for. 

Y- Yearning: How does this character deal with time apart with their s/o?

Benn’s mature, and so he can handle absence just fine. Depending on what it entails, he might worry a bit, but never to the point of doing anything rash. That being said, if the absence is extended, he won’t deny that he’s lonely without his s/o. They’re an irreplaceable facet of his life, after all, and he can’t ignore that a part of his life is missing forever. So, he’ll be very happy when his s/o returns, and he’ll certainly show how much he missed them and appreciates that they’re back!

Z- Zeal: Is this character willing to great lengths for their relationship? If so, how far, and how long does it take to get to this point?

Benn takes a while to fall in love, and therefore, it takes him a while to consider this relationship unlike anything he’s had before. Once he realizes that he’s in deep, though, he begins to consider the lengths that he is willing to go for this relationship. At first, he still very much considers his relationship secondary to his ambitions to realize Shanks’ dream. With time, however, his ambitions and his relationship begin to enmesh in importance. He won’t give up on that goal, but he’s a lot more careful about how he goes about realizing it, being a little less reckless on his part. It becomes important to him that his s/o can share in the realization of their longtime goal, and that there is something he can look forward to after.
