OMGOMGOMGOMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR YOUR INBOX TO BE OPEN I LIVE YOUR WRITING!!! I wanted to see if i could request a witch reader x the straw hats??? Like imagine if Eda and Rain from The Owl House had a kid that acted like Luz. Like how she always wants to stand up for others and is kind, but also pretty innocent and naive at times. Like if Sanji flirted with her she wouldn't really understand that he's flirting.I could imagine her also having a little friend like owlberrt or at least an owl staff. Also like her mother her hair is kinda like a mini pocket dimension that she shoves things in

but instead in this universe the day unity is a day where a bunch of witch hunters come to their island and kills all of them but she somehow manages to survive. Like it would happen a few years or so before she encounters the straw hats. When she meets them it does take her a while still to tell them her full past thought. She meets them on some random island running from some local store owner because like her mother, she is a trouble maker but she's not as good at stealing. With the fact that her parents died and couldn't teach her much, all she has is old books and journals from both of them. Which mean that she's not that good at magic and messes up her spells a lot

i'm sorry if this is confusing i've just had this idea in my head for MONTHS and in crappy at explaining things D:

Again im sorry if this is to much or confusing i just really want to see your ideas of some HCs for this.

a meme for your collection (if you have one lol)

─Strawhats x witch!reader

─Summary: Some unfortunate events make you meet what you can consider a second family.

─Warnings: none

YEEEE thanks for contributing to the collection of cursed memes on my pinterest, I love it <3, sorry for the delay, I also had to look up information about the owl house because I didn't watch the series and f I changed a little how they met, sorry for that too 😔

─ Not even you know how you managed to survive the witch hunt that day, but here you are now, sailing on a wooden plank with a backpack that doesn't even have food or water but a couple of books on spells.

─ At first it was a small boat but you tried to cast a spell so that the wind was in your favor and you turned the small boat into a piece of plank, you were not a very experienced witch but you survived.

─ Your eyes lit up and you screamed with all the strength you could when you saw a ship.

─ Your first thought was to try to steal one of the emergency ships, but you ruled it out when you saw the crew, you weren't that clever and it seemed like they had nothing to do with the witch hunt.

─ The first to see you was Usopp who was fishing when you scared him to death, the others noticed you once they saw you wave your arms strangely (you were trying to do magic but nothing came out)

─ You complement Luffy quite well once you start interacting with the crew, Nami probably scolds you a lot because he asks you to do some magic and it ends up going wrong.

─ Last time you transformed Sanji's face into a trout for trying to make Luffy's portion bigger, you're lucky that the cook likes your presence, although you completely ignore his strange behavior when he is with girls.

─ You and Zoro have small competitions to keep your pride high over any nonsense, like a healthy rivalry (you both end up lost in the strangest places).

─ Probably and, despite not understanding anything about magic, Robin will help you with some spells here and there, she is a cultured woman and she seems to understand some descriptions much more than you.

─ Usopp repaired your cane when you chipped it once, you thanked him because he reinforced it so it wouldn't break again.

─ You and Chopper go out to look for ingredients together, whether to make medicines or potions.

─ Jinbe is curious about your culture and your home island as well as other sorcerers, you can spend hours talking about witchcraft with him, Franky and Brook will join in sometimes.

─ When you take the courage to tell them why you were alone with nothing and adrift, they feel a little sorry for you, If you don't plan to stay here with them, you will be welcome whenever you want and If you want to continue with them, you are already part of the crew!

─ For once you feel that you are advancing in your process of learning as a magician, feeling indebted to these pirates, you decide to help as much as you can and improve your skills even more.

I always want to see the Strawhats use each other's moves during battle. Maybe they get in a situation where they couldn't use their trademark attacks for some reason (losing their weapons, sea stone prism, etc.,) so they resort to using their fellow crewmates' moveset to do so.

Zoro getting into a stalemate and his swords out of reach. The enemy hasn't notice him yet, so he need to take them down somehow. So he uses Asura Mode and uses Robin's Clutch technique, snapping a lot of bones in the process.

Brook using Zoro's multi swords style to battle againsts an opponent as his cane sword was snapped in half by the enemy. He looks like the Grim Reaper when using this technique.

Sanji centering all the heat within the room into one attack, and when that fails realise that since he throw away the heat the room became freezing, so he uses Brook's technique and instead of flaming kicks he now has frozen skates that can cut and freeze through anything.

Nami learning from Sanji's Diable Jambe and creates a rain of fire, or better yet a flaming tornado. Plus, since the weather in One Piece is weird she might able to utilise the strange weather phenomenon to her advantage.

Chopper using Nami's knowledge of electricity to arm himself with it. So in addition to his forms he can now discharge bolts of lightning by using static collected in his Guard Point. Or if he wants to speed it up, asks Nami to hit him with a Lightning Tempo.

Usopp using a combination of his shots in a similar way to Chopper. That is, he manages to make a two in one shot, which has two layers and has two effects instead of one. He and Chopper try to see what happen if they combine rumble ball with one of his pop greens. Needless to say experimentations involving combining those two are now illegal on the ship.

Jinbe using Usopp's advice on how to aim on fast moving enemies. He doesn't use a device or anything but needless to say he kinda has his own water gun now. It has better precision, so Jinbe doesn't need to worry about hitting his friends. It doesn't have a huge range like the kabuto, but still packs a punch.

Luffy learning stances from Jinbe and how to ground himself better. It doesn't go well because, well... Luffy. But he did learn how to further enhance the rebounding attacks he uses against Enel on Skypiea. Zoro has a harder time dodging Luffy's accidental punch now.

Franky modifying himself to have a cable in between his wrists and fists, so when he uses a rocket punch he can pull his fist back, or better yet make a slingshot with it.

And finally, Robin using Franky's speed build technique he used on Thriller Bark. She's nowhere near as good as Franky when it comes to building, but she is very good at doing the opposite. She had dismantled a lot of the Marine's ship engines by now.

Happy Holiday 5 sentence pairing fic:

Happy Holidays to you too!

Law/Zoro, peppermint! <3

Law stared at Zoro, not in horror, he no longer could be surprised by the insanity of the Straw Hats, but his stare must have said something because Zoro went still. "When we kill a man with a three foot long candy cane, we don't break a part off to eat, afterwards."

"I'm not eating the guy, that's gross I don't know where he's been. I'm eating the cand cane?" Zoro broke off the curved end. "Peppermint, right? So you can't complain about my breath smelling like booze." He looked proud of himself for thinking of it. A bite was taken.

Law pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why is this my life?"

"Because you married me? Babe, did you hit your head? I'm concerned. Let's get you to Chopper. He is over where Luffy is bludgeoning people with gum drops." Piece of candy cane in one hand, the other reached for Law.

"I fucking hate Whole Cake Island," Law muttered. "And the Christmas island is the worst."

There was a kiss to his cheek. "Bought you a gift though, since it is Christmas."

"It's actually the middle of spring."

"Fine, no new doctor bag for you."

"No, I want it, shut up." Law scowled when Zoro laughed, but he reached out and licked the candy cane. It didn't have any blood on it, so it was probably fine. And he liked peppermint.

Zoro kissed him, and Law liked it even more on Zoro's lips.

skymed whump list

description: “Follows intense character journeys and high-stakes medical rescues, heartbreaks and tribulations of budding nurses and pilots flying air ambulances.” whump refers to various recurring male characters (unfortunately not all of them are in the pic, but from left to right are Tristan, Chopper, Nowak, and Bodie)

overall notes: apparently you can find the show on paramount plus but I pirated it so I can’t say anything for captions or availability. it’s a little silly sometimes but it’s way more interesting than a lot of your average medical dramas imo.

Briella’s Winterfest Baking 19: Peppermint Bark

Sul Sul, Gerbits! How are you guys doing today? I am doing great. Looking forward to the new year. And with this New Year we have to celebrate in style, I am going to be posting a few recipes that I made for New Year’s eve. 

It was a big New Year’s Eve because not only were we ending the year, but we were ending a decade. So my dad, Andrew Ponder, called me and told me that I was in charge of this party. And I nailed it if I do say so myself.

The first recipe that I am going to share with you is a recipe I found when I was in high school. My parents usually gave me a bunch of candy canes in my birthday basket. 

Okay, wait… I guess I have to explain what a birthday basket is. My parents decided to do a week of the birthday sims favorite foods, plus a few fun foods. And my fun food would usually be a huge pack of candy canes and other things. So, after about a week of eating candy canes everyday after school, I got tired. So I searched candy cane recipes on Food Network.com. And I found Paula Deen’s Peppermint Bark Recipe.

This peppermint bark is different from other recipes because it does not have the chocolate layer on the bottom. You just need candy canes and white chocolate. 

In a plastic bag, you are going to place the candy canes. And with a hammer, meat tenderizer, or you can place the candy canes into a food chopper. You want the pieces to be small, but not peppermint dust. I usually use a tenderizer, but this year I used a chopper, and the pieces were smaller, and it was easier for everyone to eat. 

You are going to want to melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Or you can be extra like I was, and use the instant pot as the double boiler. It was a lot faster, however if you are on the short side, like I am , you might want to get a step stool to stir the white chocolate. Take it off of heat and add peppermint candy canes. 

Place some parchment or waxed paper on a cookie sheet. Pour your chocolate onto the prepared cookie sheet. Place it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Once it is solid, grab your tenderizer or hammer and break it into pieces.  

This is a classic New Year’s Eve snack. Just like Barrett’s Wraps, which is tortilla wrapped with cream cheese and olives. I hope you all have a good and safe New Year’s. Vadish, Dag Dag.

Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6

Chapter 7: Faces Turned to the Sunset

Brook is standing at the crow’s nest, playing his violin.

This is not unusual, nor is it noteworthy. Brook spends more time playing than not. It’s his job, it’s his life (and death! Yohohohoho). It helps him worth through whatever is going through his mind.

He has quite a lot going through his mind at the moment.

Brook knows he’s new to the crew. He knows there’s a lot here (crew dynamics, histories, relationships) that he’s simply not aware of yet. And that’s fine, that’s just life at sea. He’ll learn, eventually.

But this current situation that poor Usopp has found himself in? It’s quite heavy for someone so young, someone who has only just started out his pirate career. But this is something Brook can actually help with.

He’s so, so grateful to these people for giving him the second chance he’s always needed. Maybe now, he can actually begin to repay them.

“Brook?”

Startled out of his thoughts, he stops playing. Below him stands the very subject of his ruminations, looking up in his general direction. He has one hand on the straw hat on his head. Robin is next to him, holding his arm. She gifts Brook a small smile.

“Usopp-San! Robin-San!” Brook lifts his hat in greeting. “How wonderful to run into you on such a fine day!”

“Sorry for startling you,” Usopp responds. “But I was walking around with Robin when we heard you play. I had to come hear some more.”

“Well, young Usopp,” Brook says, making his way down from the crow’s nest. “That’s very kind of you! It’s enough to make even these old bones blush.”

Usopp cocks his head, seemingly listening to Brook’s approach. “I’ve always liked music,” He says. “But now…I don’t know. After what happened, it feels different for me now. Like, it’s the only thing that hasn’t changed for me, as an experience, but that’s what makes it feel different now. Does that make sense?”

Brook hits the deck with a small thump. He sees Usopp turn towards the sound. “It does indeed,” He says, gathering himself. “Often, one relies on the senses one has available. Your connection to music is through a sense that you still have access to, and so allows you to appreciate it even more.”

Usopp nods. “Exactly! You’re so good, too. You were doing a sea shanty? That’s my favorite type of music!”

Brook deliberately taps his cane as he walks towards Robin and Usopp, making his approach clear. Robin, still silent, gives him an approving nod. “Ah, you appreciate the classics,” He says. “Very appropriate for the setting. Do let me know your favorites, and I’ll add them to the repertoire.”

Usopp’s face breaks into a smile, lifting at the bandages around his eyes. “Wow! Thanks, Brook!”

Robin leans in. “Usopp,” She says. “I’ll leave you with Brook now, alright? You can let him know to direct you back to Chopper’s office when you’re ready.”

“Thanks Robin,” Usopp says, and she leans out to grasp at Brook’s bony hand. She leads it to Usopp’s arm, and then gives them another smile.

Brook curls his fingers around Usopp’s upper arm. “Well then,” He says. “Where are we heading?”

Usopp taps on his chin. “Hm,” He says. “Let’s go around the side. I’m trying to get a sense of how wide everything is.”

“Sounds reasonable,” Brook says, starting to lead Usopp in the circuit around the ship. “You know,” He begins. “I haven’t been here very long. But I do know a thing or two about waking up in a different body that doesn’t feel like yours. And I know how difficult an adjustment that is.”

He feels Usopp’s arm tense under his hand. “Yeah,” He says, sounding a little shaky. “I guess you would understand what that feels like.”

“Indeed,” Brook says, gently adjusting Usopp’s path. “And I know how it feels to suddenly not be able to do things that you used to do. But with some time, and practice, and work, I was able to adjust. And with your help, all of you, I’m able to have the life that I wanted to have. Or death, as it turns out. Yohohohoho!”

He feels Usopp’s arm shake in an answering laugh. “You’re right,” He says. “Yeah. It’s just time, I guess. And figuring out what to do now. One step at a time, right?”

Brook makes his step steo forward deliberately heavy. “Correct!” He says. “That’s an excellent outlook to have. And we can remind you if you ever need that.”

“Thanks Brook,” Usopp says. He stops walking, Brook also coming to an abrupt halt. “Can I ask you something?”

“You already have, yohohohoho,” Brook jokes. “But go ahead!”

“What’s your favorite music?” Usopp says. “What do you like to play the most?”

Brook feels a warm fondness in his bones. “It’s kind of you to ask,” He says. “I love everything I play, don’t you worry! Music is a gift I treasure every day.”

Usopp nods, and Brook gently tugs on his arm to start walking again. They reach the side of the ship and Brook leads him into another turn. They’ve reached the side that opens up to the island, and Brook takes a moment to appreciate the view.

Usopp whips his head to the side. “Oh!” He says, sounding excited. “We’re at the side near Sabaody, right? I can smell and hear it! And I can feel the wind from it!”

“Correct!” Brook says, patting Usopp on the shoulder.

Usopp stops, leaning on the side of the ship. He moves the hand on the hat lower, til it clutches at the rim. “Brook,” He says. “Can you tell me what it looks like?”

Brook stands next to him. “Of course,” He says. He looks out onto the land. “It’s green…very green! Lots of forest, spreading out into the distance. There seems to be bubbles emerging from the island, and there’s quite a lot of them floating around us.”

Usopp sighs. “Sounds beautiful,” He says.

Brook lays a hand on Usopp’s head, gently minding the hat. “The actual town looks quite busy,” He says. “There’s lots of buildings, shops, and people. There’s also-”

Brook cuts himself off. “Oh!” He says. “It looks like our Captain, swordsman, and cook are on their way back! Seems a little quick…”

Usopp cocks his head. “Do they look alright?”

Brook leans closer. “They look a little grim,” He reports. “There seems to be someone with them. I don’t recognize him. He’s older, long white hair, glasses-”

At that moment, Nami thunders out onto the deck, followed closely by Franky. “Guys! Luffy and the others are coming back with-”

She spots Brook and Usopp and literally skids to a stop. “Usopp,” She breathes.

Usopp turns in her general direction. “Nami?”

“Oh,” She says, tears forming in her eyes, “Oh, Usopp…”

In the next breath she’s running forward, so fast she almost stumbles over her own feet. “USOPP!”

She jumps at him, flinging her arms around him and hugging him tight. Brook and Franky share a look. Franky looks like he’s seconds away from crying himself.

Usopp stumbles back, clutching onto the straw hat for dear life. Brook reaches out to steady him. “Hey Nami,” He says softly. “Long time no…see.”

Nami buries her head in Usopp’s shoulder. “Idiot!” She says, then instantly bursts into tears.

Usopp looks panicked. “Oh hey, Nami, come on, it’s okay, please don’t…”

“I’m sorry,” Nami wails into Usopp’s shoulder. “I’m sorry Usopp, I’m sorry…”

Usopp reaches a hand to clumsily pat her on the back. “Hey,” He says again. “It’s alright, really, I’ll be okay, yeah? I’ll…I’ll manage. Right? Hey, Nami, everyone’s coming back, we should talk to them…”

Nami stiffens, then lets Usopp go. “You’re right,” She sniffs, trying to get a hold of herself. “I was gonna say, they look serious. We’ll talk later, okay? After we find out what’s going on?”

“Of course,” Usopp says, and Brook turns his attention back to the approaching group. To his surprise, in that time, they’ve managed to make it back to the ship, and are slowly making their way up to the deck.

“Oi,” Sanji says, first one to arrive. “Which if you assholes made Nami-San cry? Is Robin-Chan alright?”

He eyes tick around the group, landing on Usopp. Understanding fills his gaze. “Whatever,” He says, losing in their direction. “Don’t let me catch anyone doing that again.”

He makes his way next to Brook and Usopp. He nods at Brook, then taps Usopp on the elbow. “Hey,” He says. “Out and about now?”

“Chopper cleared me,” Usopp responds, and Brook sees Zoro make his way to the ship. “I’ve missed walking around up here.”

Brook keeps an eye on Zoro, and knows instantly once he’s caught sight of Usopp. His jaw visibly clenches, like he’s desperately holding something back. He makes an aborted motion forward before stepping back, fists clenched. He stiffly backs up to join Franky, but his eyes don’t leave Usopp.

Luffy gets in next, definitely more subdued by usual, closely followed by this new stranger. Brook eyes (well. Eye sockets) him wearily.

“Okay,” Luffy says, hands on his hips. “You’re here now. What was it that you wanted to tell us?”

Brook sees Robin approaching from within the ship, Chopper trotting out next to her. Ah, we’ve all arrived. He thinks to himself.

The man looks around. “Impressive ship you have here,” He comments. “I could coat her for you, soon.”

Franky’s chest puffs up with pride. “She’s a beauty, isn’t she?”

“Yeah,” Luffy says, impatient. “But what about Ace? How can you help us?”

“Ace needs our help?” Nami asks.

Usopp leans over to Brook, whispering “That’s Luffy’s brother.”

Brook nods. He hadn’t known Luffy had a brother.

The man looks at them all. Brook catches him eying the hat on Usopp’s head. “Hatchan told me you were here. My name is Rayleigh,” He says. “And I’ve been looking to meet you for a while, Straw Hat Luffy. I have some information that you may find useful.”

-

Usopp listens with growing amazement and fear as Rayleigh begins to speak.

He tells them about the growing tensions amongst the pirates, the threat of war, the gathering of a group known as the supernova. He tells them about Whitebeard, and about Ace, and about how the situation was a powder keg that was likely to explode. He tells them about Sabaody, the Celestial Dragons, and everything that goes with them. “If you’d arrived a little earlier, you might have run into some chaos,” He had mused, and Usopp had felt ice run through his back, like a bullet at only just missed his spine.

All that talk of war had sounded much too close to Vance’s explanations for comfort. The idea that he had been right about this, had been right about something, does not sit well in his stomach. It makes him want to plug his ears and sink back into the dark.

He knows he can’t do that, though.

Rayleigh concludes his tale with explaining where Ace was, and where he was going to be taken afterwards. “So,” He says. “You’re either going to Impel Down, which is the most dangerous prison I the world, to stage a breakout. Or, you’re headed to Marineford, facing the strongest members of the Navy from one end and Whitebeard on the other. Are you sure you’re still up to the task.”

Luffy, silent up until that point, speaks up right away. “Yes,” He says firmly. “Can you give us the way to get there?”

Usopp can feel his knees knock together. It all sounds like too much. Maybe he can legitimately claim can’t-go-on-this-certain-death-mission disease now.

“Sure,” Rayleigh’s voice echoes, amused. “But you should know, you’re walking into the middle of some of the most powerful players on the grand line. And you’re taking your crew with you. Are you prepared for what you’re about to face?”

Usopp prepares for Luffy to respond. He’s surprised to hear nothing.

“Captain?” Robin says, sounding concerned.

Usopp runs the comment back in his head. The crew…he knows Luffy is more than willing to jump into certain death. But the idea that he may be leading them to it too…it must be killing him.

“Don’t worry about us Captain,” Zoro says. “Where you go, we follow. And if you’re going to save your brother, well. We’ll do that too.”

“If what he says is true,” Luffy says. “I need you all to think about this. I can’t ask you to do this if I don’t know I can make sure you all get out.”

His voice is so pained, conflicted.

It’s up to Usopp to fix this, to bring his mood back up.

He feels the familiar itch in his head, and, without thinking, submits. “Of course we can help!” He says. “Did I ever tell you about the time I made the most impossible shot in the world?”

The ship goes silent. Even the ambient noise of the sea is muted. “No,” Luffy says. “What happened?”

“Well,” Usopp says, warming up to the performance. “It was me and my slingshot against the world. I had to make a shot into a large fortress, an impossible amount of meters away. But nobody had accounted for me. I was able to throw my senses out, and see the targets I was about to hit even without seeing them. In the middle of being attached myself, I aimed and fired into the distance. Even though I couldn’t see the impact, I knew that I had made it and that…”

Usopp trails off, mind catching up to the story.

Had he just…was that…

“Wow,” Luffy says. “I didn’t know about that.”

“See, Luffy?” Sanji says. “We’re all capable. Look at what Usopp just said. If that’s going to happen, you know we’re ready, don’t you?”

Usopp’s head is spinning. It’s the first time he has really noticed what’s going on, how the story spills out of him. And everyone had known it was all true. Everyone but him.

But…the impossible shot. How is going to-

“Hey,” Rayleigh says, interrupting his thoughts. “If I may ask. What the hell just happened there?”

“Usopp tells stories,” Luffy says proudly, like he’s used to it. “And they come true!”

“He’s a seer,” Brook rushes to explain. “He has powers, he can see events before they happen. He’s only just realized it recently.”

“Well,” Rayleigh says. “I don’t know who told you that, but that’s not quite true. The future telling is, but being a ‘seer’? Not exactly.”

There’s a short pause. “What do you mean by that?” Nami asks.

The blood is thundering in Usopp’s ears. He doesn’t know if he wants to hear this but at the same time, he really needs to.

“I mean,” Rayleigh says. “Usopp over there has some of the most advanced observation Haki I’ve ever witnessed, and that’s saying something. I could feel it while he was talking. I know of some who can predict future events with Haki but never as advanced as this seems to be. And without training? Without even knowing about it? That is truly impressive.”

“What the hell is Haki?” And that’s Zoro.

“Vance said,” Usopp trips in. “Vance said that…that we had powers to balance out the darkness of the devil fruits into the world. Me with my prophecies. Him with his intimidation. Lark with his body armor. Was that…was that a lie?”

“Well if it wasn’t,” Rayleigh says. “Vance, whoever he is, is an idiot. Those aren’t ‘powers’ to balance out devil fruit. It’s Haki. And, to answer your question,” He must direct this at Zoro. “Usopp here has given us a succinct summary of the different types. Observation, which he himself has at a quite advanced level. Armament, which makes you turn your body into living armor, which this Lark person apparently has. And Conqueror’s: very rare, very powerful, which it seems from your description that this Vance person has. Is he able to knock out people with his energy?”

“Yes,” Sanji says slowly. “He…he stopped us in our tracks. I couldn’t move, there was this feeling of fear and despair that came over me. Was that..this Haki, or whatever it’s called?”

“Looks like it,” Rayleigh says. “Technically, anyone can be a Haki user. Observation and Armament, at least. Conqueror’s is a bit more rare, the only individuals that can use it are particularly-” He cuts himself off. “Never mind, we’ll get into all that later. What’s important now is that it seems these people have developed different types of Haki without, apparently, knowing what it is. And thinking it’s to combat devil fruits? That’s funny. Many devil fruit users are also very proficient at Haki.”

“So…” Usopp thinks he’s feeling dizzy. But how could he, in the dark. “Wait. Vance also said that I’d be able to control my Second Sight better when he blinded me…”

Rayleigh interrupts him immediately. “That’s bullshit,” He says. “That man is definitely an idiot. I’m sorry you got caught up in that idiocy, but that is not true. Your sight has nothing to do with your Haki. As long as you’ve been telling those stories, you’ve been using it. To gain mastery, you would simply need to train. That’s all.”

“So it was for nothing?” Usopp says. He thinks he’s yelling. “All that…everything. It was for nothing? I’m like this now for nothing?”

He feels a hand push at the hat on his head. “Usopp,” Brook says quietly.

Usopp takes a deep breath. “Sorry,” He says. “This is just…”

“That’s fair,” Rayleigh says. “I’d be mad too, if I were you. But, you know, observation Haki will help you too, with that. I know someone like you, who uses his Haki to-” He interrupts himself again. “Getting ahead of myself there again.”

“Wait,” Usopp says. “He also said that there was this…serum that would get rid of devil fruits. Was that a lie too?”

Rayleigh is silent for a few seconds. “I haven’t heard of that,” He says. “But there’s a lot of experimentation going on at the moment in devil fruits. Certain individuals have been working on…understanding them, I suppose? Replicating them? I haven’t heard of anything about destroying them, as of now. But I couldn’t say for certain that it doesn’t exist.”

Usopp feels minute shakes run throughout his body. What the hell. He thinks hysterically. What the hell. What the hell.

His panicked thoughts grind to a halt when he hears Luffy’s voice. “This is important,” He says. “And we have to come back to it later. But first…everyone. You know the risks. Are you all willing to come with me to get Ace? Knowing what we’re going into?”

Usopp shakes himself back into awareness. “Of course!” He answers.

He hears various versions of yes echo throughout the crew, and he knows already that everyone had declared themselves ready. For Luffy, they always will.

“I’ll do whatever I can to protect you all,” Luffy says, and Usopp knows he means it. “I promise. Old guy! Can you go with Nami and explain to her how to get to Ace?”

Nami speaks up. “Follow me,” She says. “I just want to run this by you..”

“Fine,” Rayleigh says. “And, Straw Hat?”

He must wait for Luffy to turn to him, the says “After you’ve finished your mission? Come back here, to Sabaody. I’ll coat your ship. And there’s more you all need to know.”

“We will,” Luffy says. “It’s a deal.”

-

Haki.

Haki. Haki. Haki.

Usopp screws his face up, trying to concentrate.

He’s back in the medical bay, because of course he is…Chopper would only also do much action, especially after all the revelations that had come down on them one by one. You still need to heal, he’d said firmly, and that was that.

Chopper had given him a quick exam before telling him he needed some more rest. Before he’d headed back out, Usopp had reached out a hand and grasped a horn. You know you’re the best doctor ever, right? He’d said. He’d felt Chopper wiggle in delight (and relief) before leaving the room.

Chopper is the best doctor ever, but Usopp is kind of a bad patient. In that he has no intention of listening to Chopper and getting some rest.

No, instead, he’s going to experiment.

Usopp had always been a big believer in experimentation: if you’re an artist, or an engineer, you need to be willing to try everything and use what works. And Usopp really needs to make this work, and fast.

Old man Rayleigh had said a lot of things. Almost all were important and valuable, but Usopp was focusing on the story he almost let slip. The one about the friend, the one supposedly like Usopp, who could use Observation Haki to help him out.

Well. He could certainly try, right? Maybe this way, he could do what Vance tried to make him do, and use his visions to-

No. No need to go down that path.

Back to concentration. Usopp slowly takes off the straw hat, holding it in front of him. Help me, Hat. He thinks. Help me get this.

He reaches out to that corner of his mind, the one that itches whenever he has a story to tell. You’ve gotta be there. Come on come on come on.

Something shimmers in the corner of the darkness. It vibrates, spins, crisscrosses into lines…

The abrupt opening of the door disrupts his concentration. He jumps, nearly dropping the hat in the process.

Heavy steps stomp into the room, which is pretty much the only data point Usopp needs. “Zoro?” He asks.

There’s silence for a second, then: “How’d you know?” Zoro says, baffled. “What, you already discovered how to sense me with your ‘haki’?”

Soon. Hopefully. “Nah,” Usopp says, putting the hat back on his head. “Nobody else but you stomps like that.”

There’s a moment where Zoro is clearly trying to figure out if he’s being insulted. He lands on “Fine,” and Usopp hears the familiar scrape of Chopper’s stool echo across the room.

Zoro is sitting with him, here? Zoro?

Usopp knows Zoro by now, and he knows that Zoro is someone who chooses his moments very carefully. He’s not one for chatting, for the most part. But he’s more than willing to speak his mind when he thinks the safety and place of the crew is at risk.

And this is what Usopp has been afraid of most. Luffy was difficult to face after this, but Zoro, in a way, is even harder to return to after his time with Vance. He can’t be the one that Zoro sees as a liability to the rest of them, and be the one needing to make the hard choice and deal with the liability.

Disappointing him again is a difficult pill to swallow.

Before Usopp can work himself up into a further state of nerves, Zoro clears his throat.

“Usopp,” He says, steady, determined. “I’m sorry.”

Usopp feels the words like a shock to his system. Why does everyone on this damn crew always apologize to me? He thinks wildly.

But what he ends up croaking out is “For what?”

“For one,” Zoro says. “Not coming by to speak to you sooner. You know Chopper didn’t want us to, but still. I could’ve come anyway. I wanted to. But at the same time…I’ll be honest. It was kind of difficult to do.”

Usopp’s mouth goes dry. “Why?”

“Because I was ashamed,” Zoro says. “I still am. You know you guys are my responsibility, right? Luffy’s captain, but his job is to lead us. Mine is to make sure you guys can follow. And I failed that. I failed you. Which brings me to my second reason…I’m sorry I let you down. You got taken on my watch, and you permanently injured because of it. I’ll take responsibility for that. I’m sorry.”

Usopp…Usopp is stunned into silence. He’s not familiar with the feeling.

Zoro seems content to wait, though. Of course he is. Zoro faces everything head on until he’s done. That just who he is.

Which is why Usopp needs to be crystal clear when he speaks. “That’s stupid,” He says.

“What?” Zoro says. “What do you mean?”

“You guys keep apologizing to me,” Usopp says. “And I guess I get it, in a way. If I was in your position, and this happened to someone else, I’d feel bad too. But you should know, I’m only still alive because of you guys. I only still have hope because of you guys. Because losing my sight almost destroyed me. It still might, I don’t know. But you’re all still here. You still want me here. And, well, that means I have to keep trying until I can find a way to be helpful still.”

Zoro doesn’t seem to have an answer, so Usopp continues.

“When you came in,” Usopp says. “I was worried you were going to tell me it might be better if I left. Because I know you always put the crew first, always. The fact that you didn’t means so much. And I’ll keep on proving that to you guys.”

“Usopp,” Zoro says, and he actually sounds a little choked. “Of course I wouldn’t. You’re…you’re part of the crew. I don’t think…I don’t think you’re getting this. I’m responsible for you too, you know. Even though you’re a big idiot who can’t tell when he’s part of something.”

Usopp laughs. “You’re the idiot,” He says. “Aren’t you, like, still half dead from Thriller Bark? How exactly were you going to put all of our safety on our shoulders? Idiot. You know you’re also part of the crew, right? Doesn’t that mean you have to look after yourself too?”

“It doesn’t work that way,” Zoro says. “That’s the job. The crew before me. And, look. I know where this is coming from. Water 7, right?”

Usopp gently pulls at the straw hat so that it hits the tip of his nose, hiding the upper half of his face. He can’t do this.

“Hey,” He feels the hat being tugged back up. “Stop that. Yeah, it happened. Yeah, it sucked. Yeah, I was upset. And so were you. But it happened and that’s that. You said sorry and we took you back. The fact that you think that I would…I would kick you out as a result still shows that you needed to hear an apology too. So, there you go. You did it and we accepted. Now I did it. You gotta accept it too.”

Usopp is not going to cry here. “Okay, fine,” He sniffs. “I accept. But you know that still doesn’t mean that I blame you or anyone else for this. So long as you’re patient with me while I figure this thing out, right?”

“What, are you kidding?” Zoro says. “I’m always patient.”

Usopp raises his eyebrows. They probably don’t show under the bandages. “If you say so,” He says.

Zoro grumbles, but he clearly doesn’t mean it. “I saw that,” He says. “Nice try. You need to work on your stealth.”

He feels a heavy hand go back up to the hat, and press it down further into his head. “By the way,” Zoro says. “I got you something.”

Usopp feels something press into his hand. Something very, very familiar.

He swallows, clutching the Kabuto tight. “You know I can’t use this, right?” He croaks.

Zoro shrugs. “Maybe not in the way you used to,” He says. “But it’s yours. It always will be.”

Usopp smiles, allowing all his fondness and affection to take over. “Thank you for this. And thanks for coming and talking,” He says. “And, you know. There’s something I’m working on. Maybe you can help me with-”

He’s interrupted by Brook’s voice outside, booming with all his might:

“Impel Down, dead ahead! Like me!”

-

Of course, it can never be that easy.

Brook has a million questions as they speed closer towards the towering, ominous building on the horizon. Mainly, they center on what the hell are they going to do next.

Impel Down is without a doubt one of the scariest places he’s ever heard of. Going in, staging a breakout? That’s a Herculean task. How will they even get in? And how will they get out again?

Luffy does not seem to have these same concerns. He stands at the front of the ship, arms crossed, his hair blowing around in the strong winds. He’s less chipper than normal, more serious. It’s extremely sobering.

The crew has all scattered out at Brook’s shout, crowding around Luffy. Even Usopp has emerged, assisted by Zoro and carrying his large slingshot, even though he can’t see the approaching prison. Chopper sidles up to him, clearly wanting to scold but thinking this wasn’t the time nor the place to do so.

Luffy says nothing, though. Just keeps looking into the distance. Staring so hard Brook thinks he’s trying to burrow through the walls of the prison to find his brother.

Brook hopes he can meet this brother someday.

“There!” Nami points at the distance. “Those are ships, right? Exiting the prison? Do you think…”

Luffy steps forward, arms still crossed, staring hard. “Nami,” He says. “Can you check with the binoculars and see?”

Brook hands over the binoculars to Nami, who puts them over her eyes. “Okay,” She says. “There’s people on the ships, I don’t really recognize them. Lots of marines. Um, that one doesn’t have anyone. Let me try…oh.”

Luffy’s voice tightens. “Nami?”

“Yeah,” Nami says, voice subdued. “That’s him. That’s Ace. We’re too late, they’re already taking him out. He’s being taken to Marineford.”

Luffy’s eyes harden. “Let’s go,” He says. “We’ll follow. We go after them.”

“Right!” Nami goes forward. “Franky, let’s get a couple coup-de-bursts going so that we can-”

“Luffy.”

Brook turns in surprise. That’s Usopp, and he’s frowning under his bandages.

Luffy turns to Usopp. “Yes?”

“We still need to go to Impel Down,” Usopp says. We need to let the prisoners out.”

Luffy blinks in confusion. “What?” He says. “Why?”

The rest of the crew seems just as surprise. Even Nami has paused, right in the middle of her run towards the helm.

“It…” Usopp pauses, frown deepening. “We just have to. Trust me.”

Luffy still doesn’t look convinced. “But we need to save Ace,” He says. “How will that help us save Ace?”

Usopp’s back straightens. “Luffy,” He says, voice calm. “Have I ever told you about the time I staged a prison break?”

This gets everyone’s attention. All eyes go to Usopp, waiting.

Luffy seems to get it right away. His eyes widen. “No,” He says. “You haven’t told me.”

“Well,” Usopp says. “That’s the thing about prison breaks. They’re difficult to do, but sometimes they’re worth it. I knew that they would make a good distraction. Especially if something big is happening close by. I also knew that there would be prisoners there that would help me, because I’m just that likeable. But I didn’t do it from inside. Instead, I made sure to use what I had to break the walls from the outside. Maybe even, I don’t know. Aim for the cells on the upper floors for a specific, important ally. All the prisoners were grateful, and they helped me when I needed it most.”

“Oh,” Luffy says. “Wow! Okay, Usopp. That’s so cool. I get it now. Thank you!”

Usopp just nods.

Luffy turns to the crew. “New plan!” He says. “We’re going to break into Impel Down and try to save Ace. At the same time!”

[darlin-djarin]

Another another reason Kanan (and also Hera this time. just couple thingz) get cancelled is because chopper is a literal demon toddler and people think they're bad parents for it. tiktok cannot comprehend that he is simply an unstoppable force

also Kanan gets cancelled for poking chopper with his cane because "you shouldn't hit your kids" to which his response is "and you shouldn't try to trip your blind fathers??? i think it's even"

😭😭 they’re like “dude you can’t fucking hit your FOSTERED kids. that’s so fucking wrong omg” and it’s just kanan USING his cane to get by and accidentally tapping chopper’s leg while he passes. every time chopper punches kanan in the stomach, the comments cheer for him.

The Straw Hats (Pre Timeskip) Rated on how practical their outfits are

Luffy

10/10 Iconic, perfect for his stretchy fighting style. Vest can open for when needed and the straw hat is the perfect practical statement piece. One point taken away for flip flops added back because of how sturdy they are and I cant give this anime staple anything less than a perfect grade

Zoro

9/10 Another great outfit that seems practical for his fighting style. The bandana around his arm when not in use is perfect. Points lost for the... sash? Cummerbund? Honestly that thing just confuses me and only seems helpful in blocking his own sword guards from constantly smacking into his stomach

Nami

6/10 Pretty good actually! The skirt is ridiculously short, her shoes arent practical, and I have no idea where she hides her staff but her casual t shirt helps give her a passing grade, not to mention I love her short hair

Usopp

10/10 A fantastic outfit! Working overalls, a bandana to keep his hair back, goggle to see better, a bag filled with needed supplies, even the sash works to wipe off substances while inventing! Good job usopp! I cant even fault you for the lack of shirt!

Sanji

4/10 On the other hand... Listen I know hes stylish but this is based on practicality. With his constant break dancing moves and kicks that thing is going to get dirty in seconds and let me tell you suits are not comfortable to move in much less fight. Even being a chef isnt an excuse since hes going to get just as dirty in the kitchen and get covered in food. Hes dressed as a suave waiter, not a fighting cook. Some points are given back since he uses just his legs so if he uses the right fabric those pants might work but Im doubtful.

Chopper

12/10 Beautiful. Adorable. A baby. Hid lil top hat and shorts are super cute, no idea how they dont rip in his different forms but since theres so little covered as long as he uses stretchy fabric Ill let it slide. Backpack for doctors supplies brings it to perfection.

Robin

7/10 Listen Im only giving this much leeway for her leather cowboy outfit because of her specific fight style. The boob window and exposed belly is really impractical and that material looks really hard to move in. Do like the hat though...

Franky

2/10 I can forgive the tropical shirt, I can forgive the hair, I can forgive the gold chain. I can not forgive the speedo. I dont care if its iconic it is so fucking impractical in any situation I am seething. He is the exact opposite problem as Sanji who is overdressed this man needs to put on some cloths. Hes not even wearing shoes.

Brook

8/10 Going to be honest I know the least about Brooks fighting style but although its another suit Im going to rank it above Sanji since he doesnt seem to mind it being dirty and his fighting style seems to accommodate it more. Also cane sword.

Jinbe

8/10 A great traditional outfit thats easy to move in, still going to knock down points because I dont care what anyone tells me those shoes look like their going to fly off with one wayward kick and that sash had better be tied as tight as possible

let me know if you want post time skip as well

One Piece Advent Calender Door 11

TODAY IS THE DAY THE TREE SHALL BE DECORATED!!!

Door 11 : Decorate the tree

Lieing under the warm cover of your bed you were still asleep, finally getting some well deserved rest. But Luffy wouldn´t have any of it. Smiling mischief, he went outside before breaking into a sprint as “JE!!!!”, he screamed and jumped with full force onto you.

Ripping your eyes open, a breath escaped your body before you collapsed back onto the matress, looking dead, soul escaping you on the way to heaven. “Je Je! Up with you! you slept enough....Je?” Your boyfriend began to clap your cheek, humming. “Did I kill you?...JE! DON`T DIE ON ME!”, taking your shoulders he shook you with full force. Gasping, you coughed and looked at Luffy. “YOU`RE ALIVE!”, he hugged your neck.

“Not thanks to you”, you admitted, sitting up with him. “What is it?” “Get up! All are waiting for you” “For what?” “Decorating the tree”, he hummed innocently. “All?” “Yeah! We want to do it together”, he beamed and nudged your noses together. “The tree” “Yeah! So up with you”, he beamed. “YES! YES!”, you beamed just like your captain as he tugged you outside. “LUFFY!”, he was met with a kick by Sanji. “Seriously! You can´t just drag her out in sleeping clothes”, said Nami, Zeus hovering by her.

“Oh, no worries”, you smiled and swooshed your halo down dressed in winter clothes. ” Can we decorate it with Candy?” “How about sugar canes?”, you bend to Chopper and he ndded eagerly. Moving your hand, your pouch came. “Beware, this will be a lot!”, you hummed and tapped it, box for box comming out, the others standing it down onto the grass deck. “How much more?!”, shouted Zoro. “I know you only have one eye but you see this massive one?”, you said and he growled under his breath.

“So, now we open them”, you smiled and everyone opened one box. “Whoa! How beautiful” “Super fine craftmanship!” “Look at these birds”, gasped Nami. “How did you get all these?”, asked Sanji, beaming. “Well, on the island I was sent too, it was in ruins and I was alone so I took a look around. And I found them. And some pictures. It looked like a wonderland. And I took them with me” “Is that covered in satin?” “I believe some, yes”

You all began to sing christmas song while all of you began to decorate that massive tree, Luffy, Sanji and Zeus with either Nami, Robin or Chopper went for the highter ones, covering the branches there. You could easily use your magic to navigate and lift ornaments, laughter filling the deck, nagging- mostly on Zoro and Sanjis part- and helping each other to reach branches.

It was such a light atmosphere, smiling and laughter everywhere. Once the ornaments hung, you went over to ribbons and the birds, and soon, the tree was decorated. “WOW! It looks so bright and happy!” “messy would be more the word”, admitted Nami. “As are we. So it´s perfect”, you admitted and all smiled, nodding. “But the top is missing”, stated Zeus. “Wait, you didn´t choose one?”, asking, the others looked away. “We all like different ones” , admitted Robin. “I see... mmh let me think”, looking around, you saw something on the Horizon. “What is that?”, you asked and all turned around. “A CANNONBALL!!”, screamed Usopp and covered in the grass. “Idiot”, Sanji let out a smoke cloud. “AH! SOMA!”, Luffy waved him over and your eyes widen, quickly snipping your finger to shrink him, as he landed fully on Luffy, running all over him.

All smiled how Luffy laughed loudly before Soma leaped into your arms. “Hello you little maniac~” Your dragon began to nuzzle you, the cloudy sky gave him a full white look. “You know Christmas?”, Chopper came over. Looking at your dragon, your eyes widen. “THAT`S IT!”, you yelled and the rest looked at you. “OH! Soma I love you!”, you spun him around before letting him go and dashing to your room, rummaging into your chest. “Do you need help?”, asked Usopp “No need. I have it!”, you held a bag out and brought it over. “What is inside?”, asked Jinbe. “Somas scales when he sheds. They are not only hard as Diamond but also shimmer. We use this to craft our own top. Soma will melt these. What do you say?”, looking at the dragon on Top of your head, it gave a little noise. “He loves it”, beamed Chopper. “SUPER! Little buddy!”, Franky stroke his pose.

After a lot of forming and working, the perfect tip was formed, looking like an Aurora sky. “It´s perfect”, smiled Nami. “Like a night of dreams”, hummed Robin. “So shiny”, Zeus came nearer to look at it. “Soma, you have the honor. You´re also part of us”, stated Luffy proudly and your dragon took it and flew up, placing the new star on top. It shined like a prism from the deck. Back down, he nuzzled onto Luffy´s hat and you clapped your hands, all the lights of the sunny turned on, as well on the tree.

“THIS LOOKS INSANE!”, Usopp beamed and Chopper cheered. “Whoa. Shit. Now it feels warm”, admitted Sanji. “Now that is what I call a tree”, smirked Zoro. “GROUP HUG!”, Luffy pulled all of you into the hug, laughing and smiling. “This looks so breathtaking” Franky began to shed a few tears. “YOHOHOHOHOHO! It´s so bright I think my eyes will pop out, ah, I have no more left. YOHOHOHOHO!!! SKULL JOKE!”

After Luffy released you, all of you went off the Sunny to look at your home from afar and what a sight it was. “Our home is shining like a star”, admitted your boyfriend. “Even Ace can see it now”, you whispered and looked at him, as he did the same to you. “Yeah. true”, he smiled softly. “Do you think he´s jealous because we outshine him?” “Oh! Yes”, laughed Luffy before cupping your cheeks. “I love this fest of yours” “Christmas? Really?” “Yes. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, just like you...well you make me happy every day”, he admitted and sealed your lips in a deep kiss. Melting against him, the both of you relaxed into it before he slowly pulled away. “You know, when you continue to kiss me, Nami will make a fee for everythime you want one” “Should she. I don´t care. I won´t be paying. Kisses are payment”, he grinned and you laughed loudly before turning to the Sunny. Standing behind you, Luffy hugged your shoulders, his nose nuzzling your neck. “Thank you”, he whispered and the rest you just admired the shining home of yours.

Chapter 5: Adventure in the Country of Sand! The Monsters That Live in the Scorching Land

(episode 97)

The crew continued their journey through the desert, heading to Yuba. Soon, the heat was starting to get to them. "Burning up," Luffy panted, using a branch as a cane for support, "Sweat won't even come out."

"Quit moaning so much, Luffy," Nami reprimanded, as she waved her hand by her face, "You'll only tire yourself out." His only response was a loud moan. "Guess he's not listening."

Chopper was no better; in fact, Zoro had to pull him on a small sled, because he couldn't walk. "I can't go on. I can't take hot weather. I'm fine in cold weather, though."

"It's 'cause of all that fur," Usopp groaned, walking the same way as Luffy; with a stick. "You should take off that animal suit."

Chopper turned to him with a glare. "What was that, you jerk?!" He suddenly turned big, as Zoro was unable to pull him. "Don't make fun of reindeer!"

"Monster!" Usopp screamed in terror.

"Chopper! Don't turn big!" Zoro glared back. "Or else I won't pull ya!"

Chopper didn't notice him, as his confrontation with Usopp continued. "Who're you calling a monster, Humongo-Nose?!"

"D-don't be stupid!" Usopp shook with fear. "I-I'll have you know this nose-"

"Just turn back already!" Zoro shoved Chopper down by his head, making him small again.

"No more fighting!" Venus scolded. Ace walked with them, not saying a word.

"You don't seem to be having a hard time, Vivi-chan," Sanji noticed.

"I was born and raised here, so it doesn't bother me that much."

"But what's with all these hills?" Usopp griped. "I figured a desert would be more flat."

"This is a very old desert, so some sand dunes here are over 300 meters high."

"Th-three hundred meters?" He heaved. "No wonder it's like climbing mountains."

"It's too much," Luffy panted, "It's so hot."

"Just one drink, Luffy," Nami ordered, "Just one mouthful." However, he slurped up so much, his cheeks puffed out. "Don't drink so much!" Nami raged, as she and Usopp simultaneously punched the back of his head, making him spit it out.

"Let me have some too!" Usopp added. "That was 13 mouthfuls just now!"

"Hold on!" Sanji cut in. "You just had some! I'm next!"

A tussle broke out with all four of them. "Stop fighting!" Vivi exclaimed worriedly. "You'll only waste strength!"

"But she started it!"

"It's your fault!"

"Yeah! This is because of you!"

-

That night, the crew set up camp by some dunes, with a pair of tents and a campfire. "So hungry," Luffy groaned.

"Don't be so greedy!" Sanji scolded. "It's still raw! Don't eat that! Nami-san! Just a minute, it'll be ready soon!"

"Oh, looks pretty good!" Usopp smiled through shivering.

"Get away, you!" Sanji ordered at Luffy.

"Oh, come on!"

"Cheapskate! Let us eat!"

"Get away!"

A shivering Nami turned to Vivi in confusion. "It was so hot during the day! What's going on?!"

"With nothing to block out the temperature, the desert scorches during the day, but falls below freezing at night. The desert is fraught with unpredictable dangers."

Chopper admired the beautiful sky, as he sat by a tent with Usopp. "Oh! Look at all those stars!"

"Didn't you see stars on your winter island?"

"Winter island skies are always covered with thick snow clouds, so I've never seen this many stars before!"

Usopp shivered miserably next to him, unable to enjoy it. "I don't have the luxury of looking at stars right now."

"Cold weather doesn't bother me!"

To his chagrin, Usopp started snuggling his cheek in his fur. "That's because you wear such a warm suit!"

"Hey, you! Get away! Go hug Venus!"

"I don't wanna make her uncomfortable!"

"Just back off!"

"I can't help that you're so fluffy."

At that, an angry Chopper turned into his large form again. "Quit making fun of reindeer!"

"Monster!" Usopp screamed.

"Chopper, don't turn big," Zoro sleepily reprimanded, "We need your warmth."

"Yahoo!" Luffy jumped in, and hugged a small, delirious Chopper with Usopp. "So warm!"

"Come closer!"

"See? Warm, isn't it?"

"Yeah!" Chopper agreed.

Vivi suddenly heard chattering teeth, and turned to see the young witch shivering terribly, while sitting on the ground. "Venus-san, why don't you join them? You sound like you're freezing."

"I d-d-don't want to b-b-be a b-b-burden."

"I'm sure they won't mind," Ace assured, "Though if you'd like, I can keep you warm."

Venus' eye widened, her mind racing, as her cheeks turned red. Portgas D. Ace was offering to... snuggle with her? For the whole night? Should she say yes? What if she does something stupid? It did sound nice; curled up in his arms, her head on his chest, with his fire powers keeping her warm. However, her shyness ultimately took over, and she shook her head. "Oh, uh... th-thanks, but... th-th-that's okay. I'll just, uh... yeah, uh, th-thanks, though."

"No problem," He smiled kindly, as Vivi stifled a giggle.

At that, Venus began crawling to her crewmates, and wondered where to lay. Settling with Luffy's back, she carefully grabbed Usopp's hand, and began slowly lifting his arm up to rest underneath, hoping he wouldn't notice.

She stopped when he turned to see her. "Venus-chan? You okay?"

"Y-y-yeah. J-just a l-little chilly."

"Oh, here." Usopp raised his arm, and held her as close to himself as he could, and to Luffy's back. "This feel better?"

She nodded, not noticing a blush flaring up on his face. "It does, thanks." Her head landed on his shoulder, and she immediately drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

Usopp watched, as her back moved up and down rhythmically with her calm breathing. She was so sweet when asleep; and so darn cute.

"It must be a real surprise for you." Ace turned to Vivi at her observation. "I mean Luffy-san. I was surprised too, at first." She turned to them, as Chopper tried to push everyone away, deciding he wanted space; Venus was still asleep, so Usopp was trying to keep her undisturbed. "Maybe it's that he isn't captain-like, or that normal pirate captains are respected by their crewmates; but this afternoon, a simple drink of water caused that big fight. But... but you know..." The boys finally fell asleep, with Venus cozy under Usopp's arm, and her head between his and Luffy's. "The longer I've been with them, the more I've come to understand."

Ace smiled at her observation. "That's how Luffy does things."

"Eh?"

By now, Venus and Usopp's temples were rested against each other over her hood. "He hasn't changed a bit since he was a kid. Despite how he seems, people always gather around him. Even though he's my little brother, he has a mysterious charm to him."

"Oh, you already knew."

"He and I do go way back. But thanks." He became curious at her intentions, as one of Chopper's front hooves was in Luffy's open mouth. Venus' nose was less than an inch away from Usopp's.

"Eh?"

"You were worried that I was concerned, right?"

"Yes. But it looks like I didn't need to worry after all." They began stargazing without a word.

-

"Whoa! I found a shrimp!" Luffy announced early the next morning.

"So this is a shrimp?!" Chopper asked excitedly. "Wow!"

After laying a still sleeping Venus gently on the ground, using his backpack as a pillow for her, Usopp approached them with skepticism. "Shrimp don't live in the desert!"

"See?!" Luffy held up his discovery.

"Oh, you're right! Is it a "desert shrimp"?"

"It looks yummy!"

"Hey, now! Are they edible?!" Usopp asked eagerly.

"Probably! Crawfish are edible, after all!"

"I've never seen a real shrimp before!" Chopper exclaimed.

Vivi stepped out of her tent, and stretched her arms; she panicked at what he was holding up. "Stop, Luffy-san! Throw that away!"

"No! That'd be a waste!"

"That's a scorpion! It's small, but it's very poisonous! You'll die if it stings you!"

"Oh, it's not edible?" Luffy frowned calmly in disappointment, as Usopp and Chopper tensed up. "How boring. You can have it."

Usopp jumped back when he held up the scorpion to him. "Don't give it to me!"

"Then I'll throw it away." Luffy tossed it behind his back.

"I'm sorry," Vivi said, "I should've mentioned it earlier."

"That's for sure!" Usopp agreed.

They turned to Chopper when he appeared to be on alert. "What is it, Chopper?" Luffy looked down at him.

He jumped up on a rock for a better view. "Something's... coming."

"Something? What?" Usopp asked cautiously, as they began hearing the sound of whistling.

Ace emerged from the other tent, and turned to where the sound was coming from with a smirk. "Oh? Is the wind picking up?"

Vivi watched the horizon carefully; it seemed like there was a group of tornadoes. She then gasped in horror. "Everyone! Hide behind the rocks!"

"What?" Luffy blinked obliviously.

"A storm! A sandstorm is coming!"

"Oh?" Ace watched calmly.

"Whoa!" Luffy exclaimed, as the ground began shaking. "Cool!"

"Venus-chan!!" Usopp grabbed her from in front of the tent, and yanked her behind the rocks with him, Luffy, and Chopper. He had also grabbed Burton's carrier in his haste.

"Again?! Deserts are nothing but storms!" Luffy exclaimed.

"I forgot to mention it, but sandstorms are one of the desert's dangers!"

Usopp cried out in terror, hold Venus tightly, as she slept like a corpse through the commotion. "Mention these things sooner!"

-

When daytime came, the crew's campsite was rendered to a sandy mess. Ace rose from being submerged, and ran to Vivi in concern. "What the hell was that?!" Zoro started to wake up, while Chopper did as well..

"Can't people get some rest?!" Sanji griped from laying next to Nami.

Usopp rose up from the sand, then pulled Venus up close by, as Luffy sat up. Venus yawned, and groggily blinked her eye open. "What happened?"

After recovering, they were on their way. "Hey! Sanji! Let's have a lunch!" Luffy decided. "A Pirate Boxed Lunch!"

"Not yet. Not until Vivi-chan says so."

"Come on, Vivi!" Luffy grinned towards her with hope. "Let's eat! I'm out of strength!"

"But we're only one-tenth of the way to Yuba, Luffy-san."

"You're so dumb! Haven't you heard of this proverb?: "If you're hungry, eat"!"

"You liar!" Usopp puffed in exhaustion, as he walked with a stick. "Quit making stuff up!"

"All right," Vivi agreed with the captain, "Then what do you say we take a break at the next rocks we find?"

"Alright! Rocks!" He cheered, and stopped in front of the crew. "Guys! Let's hurry to the next rocks! Whoever wins rock-paper-scissors has to carry everyone's stuff!"

"Quit deciding things!" Usopp scolded.

"Shouldn't the loser carry the stuff?" Sanji pointed out.

Luffy held his fist in the air. "Alright, here goes! Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Hold up now!" Vivi tried to stop him, but the game commenced anyway.

"Hey! You went after!" Zoro exclaimed.

"Woohoo! I win!" Luffy cheered.

"Idiot," Nami griped.

As agreed on, they loaded their stuff on the sled for Luffy to pull along. "H-heavy," He panted, "So heavy. And hot. I won rock-paper-scissors, so why me?"

"It's because you won," Sanji replied, "Now shut up, and haul."

"Don't drop it now!" Nami added, and he groaned loudly in response.

Vivi turned to Venus, who was still holding her small pet carrier. "Venus-san, why don't you put Burton with our stuff?"

"I... I'm more comfortable carrying him myself," She replied warily, "I can't risk him falling over."

Using his goggles, Usopp looked over the horizon, and saw what Luffy was anticipating. "Rocks spotted a small ways ahead!"

"For real?!" He exclaimed happily, before barreling past everyone. "Break time! Food!" He sped off out of sight, leaving a cloud of sand behind.

"Whoa! He's fast!" Usopp gawked.

Up ahead, Luffy quickly slowed to a foot-dragging walk, and was relieved when he was under the rocks spotted. "Shade!" He flopped down in exhaustion. "Feels so good!" Out of nowhere, the sound of birds in distress rang through the area; Luffy sat up in curiosity, and went to investigate, leaving the crew's luggage. After turning a corner, he gaped in surprise; before him was a flock of strange birds with swirled cowlicks laying in the sand, as if they were hurt. He quickly approached the closest one, and dropped to his knees, picking it up in concern. "Hey! Say something! I'll go get you a doctor!" He set it down, and ran back where he came, still leaving everything behind. "Bad news!"

"Huh? He's coming back!" Usopp pointed out.

"There's a lot of hurt birds that can't move! Chopper!"

"Right!" He immediately sat up from his personal sled, and ran up to him in determination.

"Alright! Let's go, Chopper!"

"Yeah!"

"We gotta help the birds!"

"Birds?!" Vivi's eyes widened. Crap! "Wait, Luffy-san! Don't tell me these birds are-!"

He stopped running, and turned back. "Eh?"

-

When they arrived on the scene, Luffy screamed in terror; the sled was empty! "All our stuff is gone!" Zoro exclaimed.

"We've been had," Nami lamented.

"It's the truth!" He insisted. "There really were dying birds here!"

"I'm sorry. I should've mentioned it earlier. Warusagi birds are "desert bandits" that trick travelers, and steal their belongings."

"What?!" Luffy gaped.

"Birds playing dead?!" Usopp fussed. "That's dishonest!"

"Yes, that's how they are," Vivi choked up with guilt.

"They tricked me?!"

"Luffy!" Sanji grabbed him by the collar. "Is that all you can say for yourself?! There were three days of provisions in there! And you just had to let some damn birds steal everyone's stuff smack in the middle of this desert?! How're we supposed to cross the desert without food, or water now?!"

"It's not my fault. They tricked me."

Sanji leaned close to his face in fury. "Is your brain less than a bird's?!"

"Say what?!" Luffy glared in offense.

"Stop it, you two!" Zoro ordered.

He went to intervene when they kept it up, but Ace's hand on his shoulder stopped him. "There's no use. At times like this, it's best to let them have it out!"

Zoro pulled his headwear back with a smirk. "Yeah, huh?" He then sat on a rock close by. "Let's take a short break. This heat is what has them fuming. I'm sure we'll manage, food-wise. It's nothing that'll kill us. Let's just put it out of our minds."

"Yeah," Usopp agreed tiredly, "Just thinking makes me thirstier."

Luffy and Sanji were in their fight, then they spotted something up ahead: Warusagi birds, drinking their water, and carrying their bags! Luffy began running like mad after them. "Give us our stuff back!"

"Luffy-san!" Vivi called after him. "Don't chase them!"

"That idiot," Sanji griped.

"Hey, you!" Nami called after. "Will you be able to come back?!"

"Come back, Luffy!" Usopp shouted, but it was no use.

He just kept going. "Stop! You can't get away from me!" His pace started slowing, due to the heat, as the birds started flying. "Get back here!" They flew higher and higher, until he couldn't reach them. "Get back here!" He was startled when all of a sudden, giant plants with sharp teeth shot out of the sand! "What are these?!" He leaped away from their jaws, but one caught him, ignoring his kicks and punches, before retreating back into the ground. After a few seconds, its severed head resurfaced, along with him. "What is this thing? A mystery desert plant? Neat!" He beamed.

He turned around at a strange groaning, and watched in confusion; a furry-saddled camel was keeping itself from getting eaten by another plant! "What are you doing?" He then started laughing, as it struggled. "That's funny!" The camel then glared at him. "Huh? You want me to help you?" It nodded in confirmation. "Gum-Gum... Pistol!" He leaped up, and his punch popped the plant, so the camel ran up to him. "Good thing you didn't get eaten!" He laughed, before getting angry again. "Those birds got away, while I was beating these guys up! The desert sure is full of strange creatures!" He then turned back to the animal he rescued. "Hey, camel. What're you doing out here all by yourself?" It turned away, now on alert. "What's that?" He watched in the same direction, and a hole sunk in the dune. "Did you find something?" After a moment of nothing, the ground started rumbling, and before them, something huge started emerging. "What the-?!"

-

Usopp watched the horizon, as he attempted to fan his face. "What's taking Luffy so long?!"

"Yeah," Chopper agreed, as he laid face-up on the ground, "Do you think he got lost?"

"He has a horrible sense of direction, but always has to run off!" Nami complained.

"And there are so many desert dangers he doesn't know about," Vivi added.

"Y'know, isn't he hungry from not eating anything?" Sanji pointed out.

Everyone was silent, before Zoro stood up. "He's such a lost cause," He griped.

"You can say that again," Sanji agreed, following suit.

"Sorry," Ace gained their attention, "For my little brother's ineptness. I apologize for the trouble."

Suddenly, Usopp was on alert at the sound of familiar crying. "Venus-chan!" She was sitting on a rock, with her face in her hands; he frantically ran over, and knelt down in front of her in concern. "What's wrong?!"

"M-m-my spell book was in my backpack!" She sobbed. "My first one ever, and it's gone!" Usopp pulled her into a comforting hug, letting her cry in his shoulder.

"Spell book?" Ace quirked a brow in confusion.

"She's a witch from a Devil Fruit," Nami explained.

"Ah."

"Don't you already know the spells from it?" Zoro asked.

"Well, p-pretty much yes, but... it's special to me. It's the first spell book I've ever had; Mr. Rauru got it for me when I was first starting out."

"That damn idiot!" The chef seethed. "How dare he make Venus-chan cry! Let's go find him, so I can tear him apart!"

As he comforted her, Usopp saw Zoro and Sanji heading out where the captain ran off. "Good luck finding him!"

"Yeah."

He then turned back to Venus. "A-at least Burton's still here," He tried to cheer her up.

"Yeah," She sniffled, "I'm glad I held his carrier myself. Those nasty birds would've eaten him for sure." When he held it up for her, she smiled, and stuck her finger inside for him to prod at affectionately. "Thank goodness you're safe."

Just then, Chopper quickly sat up at some rumbling. "What's that?!"

Everyone watched the horizon, as Usopp protectively kept Venus close, as did she with the carrier. "What's this rumbling?!" Using his goggles, while she held onto his waist, he looked ahead at the huge sand clouds, as they heard a familiar laugh. "Another sandstorm?! No, wait! That's-!" He looked on in shock, as Luffy was on a camel, running towards them. "Luffy?!"

"No... it couldn't be!" Vivi exclaimed.

"Why is he on a camel?!" Nami questioned.

"So?! What's that chasing him?!" Sanji asked frantically.

Zoro tried to look, but the sand behind them was too thick. "I can't really see! But it seems more like something's in the sand!"

Behind them, a giant, purple lizard emerged! "It's huge!" Usopp screamed.

"A Sandora Dragon!" Vivi shouted in shock.

"A what now?!" He exclaimed.

"They're the largest of the reptiles living in the desert, and they wait under the sand for their prey! They have sharp claws and fangs, but they hardly ever use them! The reason being that they tend to swallow their prey whole, because they're so large!"

Ace watched calmly from the shade. "He really does have a gift for attracting trouble."

"Setting aside the camel for a moment..." Sanji started.

"What star was he born under to be able to attract trouble like this?!" Zoro finished, before they went into action.

"Hey! Camel! Stop!" Luffy commanded.

"Luffy! Is it too much for you?!" Zoro asked frantically.

"We'll lend a hand!" Sanji added.

"Yeah! I brought some meat! Here goes, lizard! Gum-Gum..."

"Tatsu..."

"Épaule..."

"Whip!"

"Maki!"

"Shoot!"

All three attacked at once, everyone gaping in shock, as the giant lizard collapsed, now dead. "Y-you didn't have to go that far," Usopp cried with sympathy, as a wide-eyed Venus stared on.

"When they're fighting, you almost pity the monsters," Nami remarked. Just then behind them, another lizard popped up! "There's more?!"

"I forgot to mention it, but but Sandora Dragons hunt in pairs!"

"Mention these things!" Usopp, Venus, Nami, and Chopper reprimanded Vivi simultaneously.

Ace turned, and saw the predator before him, barely reacting. "Ace!" Nami exclaimed.

"Look out!" Vivi shouted.

He calmly stood to his feet. "What a nuisance. You wanna play?" It roared at him in response. "Oh, okay. If that's what you want." At that, he leaped into its mouth; when trapped inside, he released some flames, effectively cooking it from the inside, before emerging safely.

Everyone stared in awe, as it collapsed behind him, charred and smoking. "Wow, Ace!" Venus began swooning. "That was amazing!"

"Thanks!" He beamed.

Usopp rolled up his sleeve, and flexed his arm. He frowned in disappointment, as he poked at his bicep; too spindly. Damn.

Before long, using a rock as a stove, Sanji was cooking Sandora meat for everyone. "Check it out! These rocks are natural frying pans!"

"So, what's with the camel?" Zoro asked Luffy.

"I dunno," He replied through a mouthful of meat, "It was getting eaten by a mystery plant when I was chasing the birds."

"It doesn't seem to be a wild camel," Nami remarked.

"No," Vivi added, "It even has a saddle."

Chopper walked over in interest, thinking he looked familiar, and the camel perked up in recognition. "I knew it!" He smiled brightly.

The previous day...

After Sanji ditched him to approach dancer girls, Chopper started looking for some shade in Nanohana. 'This is bad,' He thought, 'I'm starting to have symptoms of heat stroke.' His vision was turning blurry. 'I need to go somewhere where it's cool.' Next to a building was a trailer; and the door was open. He sneaked inside, and laid on the wooden floor, feeling relaxed with a wide smile. 'Ah! That feels nice! I think I'll take a nap, until Sanji comes back. Is that okay? Is it? I guess it is. '

Just after he fell asleep, the door was shut behind him. "Is it closed?" The driver asked his co-worker.

"Yeah. Let's go."

"We don't want anyone finding it." Once he was onboard, the stagecoach started moving.

With Chopper inside.

When he woke up, he was alarmed at the rumbling movements, and the closed door. "Huh?! Where am I?!" He peeked out through the curtain, and saw a pair of mysterious men driving the coach; he quickly retreated when one of them looked his way, but thankfully, he didn't seem to see him. He turned small again, as he started to panic. 'Huh? Huh? Who're they? Where am I?' His eyes widened when a cabinet opened from a bump, and rifles fell out in front of him. "Rifles!" He accidentally shouted. When the same man peered in, he hid between two crates.

"What's wrong?"

"Thought I heard a voice. It's nothing."

When the curtain was closed, he began backing to the doors. 'I dunno what's going on, but they seem dangerous! I should probably get out of here quick!' He crashed into the doors when the coach suddenly stopped. "Oww!"

"Good work. That took a while."

"Yeah. The weapon store guy really raised his prices, that greedy bastard."

"It can't be helped. They're in huge trouble if they get found out too."

"Where's Koza?"

"Inside."

"We got a bit of food too. It's in the back."

"Got it."

The camel that pulled the coach yawned in boredom, watching the man approach the trailer. The man was surprised at what he saw; a reindeer laying on the floor, wearing shorts, a hat, and a backpack. "What is this?" Chopper tried to stay still. "They went, and bought a whole deer?"

As they talked to "Koza", Chopper managed to slip away, before another man looked in the trailer. "Hey! Wasn't there deer meat here?"

"Huh? Are you sure someone didn't haul it out already?"

"C'mon, do better checks, will ya?" He griped, before the camel nudged his back. "What?!" The camel hung its tongue out in parchment. "Water? There's some in that trough! Drink that!" It smiled in satisfaction, as it walked off with a green tarp over its back. "Hey! Let's get the rest out of here! Gimme a hand!"

"Right!"

Chopper stayed still under the tarp, as the camel strolled through the town casually, then stopped in the desert. Chopper peeked out cautiously, as the camel stared. "A-am I safe now?" It nodded in confirmation. "Whew! Thank you! But why did you help me?" He listened, changing back to small form, as it responded. ""I got no reason. I'm cool, ain't I?"" Chopper laughed nervously. "You're so strange!" He then jumped down, and waved in farewell, as it walked off to another town. "Thank you so much! He's a little strange, but he's a nice guy! I feel like I'm going to see him again! Still, who were those people? Oh well. Now which way is Nanohana?" He sniffed the air, before grimacing in disgust. Perfume. "This way." He headed in that direction. Hopefully Sanji has calmed down by the time he finds him.

-

He listened to it grunt. "Oh! Good for you!"

Luffy walked over, still eating. "Huh? You know each other?"

"Yeah! He gave me a ride when I escaped from Katorea!"

Usopp sat up from laying on the ground. "That's great! We can ride it?! That'll make things easier!"

"Yeah, that'll be a real help!" Sanji agreed. "Looks like it could carry two or three people!"

"Camels do go hand-in-hand with deserts!" Zoro added.

Luffy prepared to jump up. "Then I'll be the first one!" To his confusion, it bit his head to keep him down. "What was that for?!"

""I am a freedom-loving, hard-boiled, compassionate camel!"" Chopper translated. ""Thanks for helping me out of that pinch. I can give you a lift, but no men allowed!""

Usopp, Luffy, and Sanji started beating the camel in anger. "This guy's a punk!" Luffy griped.

"Yeah! You let Chopper ride you!" Usopp added.

""I'm manly!"" He translated, as it flashed a confident grin.

The beating continued as soon as it stopped. "Quit being stupid!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Why you-!"

Nami managed to stop them, and started comforting him. "I'm so sorry! My crewmates are so ill-bred!" She petted its head, to its delight, as it knelt down. "You're a good boy! What should we call you?"

"Idiot!" Luffy voted.

"Moron!" Sanji added.

"Doofus!" Usopp voted.

""Lashes", it is then!" Nami decided, already on the saddle.

"Uhh, that's the weirdest one of all," Zoro remarked.

"Okay! Get on Venus, Vivi!"

"No, I can still walk!" The princess kindly declined.

"Just get on," Nami insisted, as he knelt back down, and Vivi complied. "Venus! Hop to it!"

"Yeah, whatever," She grumbled somberly, finishing her meat; she couldn't help but smile when Lashes nudged her face, her tears being wiped away. "Thanks." She climbed on between Nami and Vivi with Burton's carrier on hand.

"Hey you, what's the big idea?!" Usopp raged in jealousy.

"Pervy camel! Pervy camel!" The boys griped, aside from Ace, who stayed quiet, as Lashes stood back up with the three girls.

Nami pulled her white hood back over her head. "Now we should make a little better time!" She looked back at Vivi, who was behind Venus. "We need to get to Yuba as fast as we can to talk to the rebel army!" She whipped the reins. "Giddyup, Lashes!"

At her command, he ran off, leaving the boys behind. "Hold on!"

"Wait, the boys!" Venus exclaimed, but was unnoticed, as she held the carrier tightly.

"Hurry, guys!" Nami ordered. "If you get separated, you'll never leave the desert alive!"

"Quit being stupid!" Usopp shouted angrily.

"I like this side of Nami-san too!" Sanji gushed.

"After them! Hurry!" Zoro urged.

"That pervy camel has Venus-chan!" Usopp added.

"He has Nami-san, and Vivi-chan too!" Sanji raged.

"Get on, Chopper!" Zoro ordered.

"Yeah!"

"Wait for us!" Once Chopper was on the sled, they began a mad sprint in Lashes' direction.

DON'T DRAW ME BACK TO MY SOUL EATER PHASE--

Okay so I have to make the whole crew around the same age because this is kinda highschool au

Usopp walks into his first day at the DWMA hoping to be a great meister like his father, and ends up getting put in the Sorting Program for kids that enroll without a partner.

Who's in that class? Luffy, because he's too unruly to keep a partner and also who wants a slingshot when you could have a sword or smth??? He Was partnered with Sabo, then Sabo "died", then he was with Ace but Ace was a weapon and terrible at range weapons even if they were super soul-resonant, then there was Coby but Coby didn't have the will to keep up (at the time! He gets better) so here Luffy is in the reject pile.

Usopp, who had a slingshot as a kid, immediately gets drawn to Luffy. Luffy tells him point-blank that to be his meister Usopp has to be gunning for The World's Best Meister because he's Gonna be the best weapon. Usopp kinda laughs it off but they become partners anyway.

Luffy's known Zoro a few days so of course they're bffs even tho Zoro is strictly a sword meister so they can't be partners. Luffy also knows Nami already. Zoro's got Chopper, who's his little brother, but he meets Sanji and Jimbe later (Sanji whose turned his legs to blades to try fighting off Don Krieg - who collects young weapons to get stronger. And Jimbe, who's under a curse from a witch [Big Mom] that Ace breaks) Nami knew Franky because they were both adopted by Tom, Kokoro and Belle-mere (they're either poly or qpp) and Franky was too bizarre in general so he got hold back 2 years until he could partner with his baby sis. Robin and Brook are the Cool Kids, on par with Kid kinda Elite even thought Brook is clinically insane (Robin Doesn't let kids bully him for it, for their safety and Brook's peace of mind) and they met in school. Robin doesn't actually introduce herself really she and Brook just start following the crew and then an incident has the whole group killing a few hundred tainted souls

If something similar to souleater canon happens between Usopp and Luffy I Will Cry but write it anyway because The angst?? Luffy sacrificing his life, his dream, for fear-paralysed Usopp??? Usopp going Insane about this???
