I feel so inspirated 🥹

[punks-never-die205]

Been thinking about this lately but, which of the Kid pirates do you think has the highest alcohol tolerance? How many shots of whiskey can they do?

I feel like Wire would only get 3-4 shots in before he falls over and starts french kissing the floor.

XD

I think their tolerances are higher than we'd expect. Pirating life does that to you, especially since low-level grog/ale would have less sanitary worries over the long haul than water.

But that's maybe a bit too much logistical realism in our funny pirate anime.

I think 3-4 shots is enough to get everyone chill. A couple people tipsy. 5-6 shots and there's drunk laughter scattering about even though nothing really funny was actually said.

7 shots and maybe Bubblegum is wearing a pretty pink bonnet and getting the other crew members to call him pretty. Because of his bonnet.

8 shots and a good bit of the crew (Mosh, Pomp, UK, Gig, REck, Papas and Compo) are starting a mosh pit, except there's no music and it turns into a game of duck, duck, goose.

9 shots and Heat's drawing his tattoo design on Wire with grease crayons, and Wire's letting him. Quincy is pulling small arms out of her hat and Hip and Hop are just clear headed enough to confirm that all the bullets were removed earlier.

10 shots in and Kid is looking a little regretful, but he's not going to admit it yet, and Moai and Jaguar are out - they keep stopping and starting Row, Row, Row Your Boat and mixing it up with In The Hall of the Mountain King.

11 shots and nothing changes, but a few duck, duck, goose players are asleep.

12 shots in and Kid is telling Killer how pretty his eyes are, but Killer's still wearing his mask. He's respond, but he actually fell asleep just after the 10th shot and no one noticed.

13 shots in, it's just House and Emma, but House concedes, because in all their years as a crew, no one has out drank Emma, and hardly showing signs of being tipsy as it is.

Can't draw and don't like writing but still wanna do something fun/creative to engage in One Piece fandom so I'm making Spotify playlists based off of what I think they'd like/listen to. I don't know every song ever so I'd love to hear what others think! I listen to lots of music so the playlists will get longer over time. Starting with Eustass Kid because I love him soooo much and one of his hobbies is listening to music!!

[eustassslut]

Hi, I'm in love with your hcs about Kid Pirates (both au and not)! I wanted to ask you if you think that they would also f*ck or have romantic intercourse with each other. And if someone of them got into a serious relationship with someone outside of the crew (or gang for the au) how the other members would act around them? They will accept them immediately?

thank you so much for the praise anon <3

i think the Kid Pirates 100% sleep with each other. it obviously depends on each members' individual sexual preferences and who they're attracted to, but most of them have slept with each other at least once.

everyone is romantically involved with each other in some way and some of them are probably in polyamorous relationships with each other. Heat for example has something going on with Wire, Haikei and Emma. then Emma has something going on with Quincy and Gig. even the members who are in relationships with each other can sometimes be seen flirting or making out with other members (consensually of course, cheaters are not welcome). Killer is involved in a pretty serious relationship with Kid but is often spotted flirting with Hip and Bubblegum.

however, if a crew member is in a relationship and they decide with their partner they want to be purely monogamous then the entire crew respects that opinion and does not overstep the boundary. the Kid Pirates are a crew who love each other in so many different ways, that goes beyond just being coworkers. they love, trust and respect each other.

now if a crew member got into a serious relationship with someone outside of their little family (both gang au or not), i can see that person getting very mixed reactions. the Kid Pirates are a big family who are united through shared traumas of being seen as different and outcasts so it takes most of them a while to adjust to suddenly having someone new hanging out with them. some of them warm up to strangers fast (Dive, Moai, House.) and others can take ages to accept a stranger (Disc J, Mosh, Jaguar) or wait until they've felt the stranger has proven themselves (Killer, Pomp). but since they're a family, they will always prioritise trying to accept this new stranger in a fairly respective and civil way for the benefit of their fellow member. the last thing they want is to accidentally scare off someone's partner when there's no need for it.

Summary:

Five years ish, post-canon. Their log-pose led them to a serene, yet wild, island in some corner of the New World. Upon disembarking the Victoria Punk, everyone from the Captain through the crew starts acting strange, saying things they'd normally never say, or think. All - except Pascha. No one remembers her, or really cares about why she's there with them on the island. But Pascha cares, and she's gonna make her crew care again, too. Kidd Pirates with minor roles or cameos: Noe, Oscar, Mosh, Dive, Quincy, Ema, Heat, UK, Bubblegum, Wire, Hip, Killer,

sometimes I think about the fact that when oda was making the supernovas, he thought that kid would be more popular than law. like he didn't expect law to be as popular as he ended up being (thusly bringing in the backstory, etc)

so does that mean we possibly have an entire backstory of kid and his pirate crew just sitting around???? like what plans did he have??? did he have any??? WHAT IS THE LORE?? ODA PLS I NEED TO KNOW. IM BEGGING. IM ON MY KNEES.

[damned-punk]

I love the Kid pirates 😍💕 I would really enjoy a HC how they act around a new female member who wants to join the crew

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Kidd

• Has a tendency to attract and collect people who don’t fit the usual standards of normativity

• Would carefully examine how they interacted with the crew to determine if they would make it as a Kidd Pirate

• When it comes to women who want to join the crew, I have a feeling that he (perhaps subconsciously) looks for similarities they may have to Victoria

Killer

• Bases a major part of his impression off a person’s behavior when he first meets them

• Carefully considers the way someone discusses the physical and social traits of their future crewmates

• Ultimately defaults to Kidd’s opinion, if someone isn’t up to his standards then they likely won’t be up to Killer’s either

Heat

• Accepting of just about anyone who shows a genuine interest in the crew (with a strong emphasis on the genuine aspect)

• Would quickly warm up to new members who are willing to party with him

Wire

• Can be harder to gauge how he feels because he’s so quiet, complimenting him would be the best way to start a conversation

• Surprisingly laid back, will accept anyone as long as they are authentic

Dive, Moai, Disc J, Hip, Hop, House, Quincy, & Emma

• Most likely to want to be the new person’s best friend

• Will corner any and all new members in order to do their makeup, nails, etc.

• The most easy to approach out of the bunch

Bubblegum, UK, Reck, Boogie, Pomp, Mosh, & Gig

• Most likely to develop a crush on the new member

• Will shamelessly flirt as a way to get to know the person

• Would be wrapped around the new person’s finger if they reciprocated hitting on them

Kid causes so many problems and I love him. Then you’ve got Killer who is there to get him to chill for like 2 seconds.

listen have you seen them. have you seen these crazy kids and their punk theme. their dedication not only to their captain but to the aesthetic? these guys fucking rule. like Kidd and Killer obviously slap as characters, and it’s really fun to see a captain and first mate combo who are so dedicated to each other, but then they also have a whole crew who are as dedicated to them?? incredible. they went and fought a yonko for funsies and survived! also special shout-out to heat for his overall Frankenstein’s monster look <3

What's the Magic Word?

Chapter 18: Spooky Séance

Content/Trigger warning: More Rowena backstory revealed, including her trauma. PTSD, lots of violent imagery and gory description, mass execution via burning alive, slavery, suicidal ideations, sexual assault, and other trauma. If these heavy themes are triggering for you, please read with caution - that section will be separated out by a line divider with a pre-warning as well so you can just skip ahead.

The days at sea became harsh as they encountered weather pattern changes every few hours. First it was sweltering hot, then it started snowing, and lastly it was storming with the sea raging. The ship rocked sideways as it was lambasted by waves and rain. The rain decided it was staying put, the crew mingled around inside the ship trying to keep themselves entertained. Somehow, they all ended up in the mess hall – the smell of chili wafting from the hall. As the crew ate and drank; someone began telling a ghost story which started a competition of scary stories over beer.

Rowena and Kid sat together listening to Wire telling a story. As he got to the good part, thunder roared above them – the hall was shaking; everyone took several swigs of drink. Wire finished his story with a jump-scare, and the crew looked around for the next volunteer. The ship’s cat settled on the table next to Heat – the feline never far from his side.

Mosh spoke up, “Hey Rowena, you got any scary stories to share?”

“I don’t really have any stories, sorry. I could give y’all a rundown of my life, that was pretty sad and horrific,” she chuckled darkly in her cup. Kid wrapped a protective arm over her, glaring at Mosh.

Gig called out, “but like can you do anything spooky?”

A look came over her face. “Do you guys want to have a séance?” Everyone gave her a confused look. “Want to try and contact the dead?” The response was ruffled; some pirates look utterly terrified, the others looked game.

“Ok, anyone that wants to join come to this table. If you’re bowing out, sit somewhere else,” Kid ordered.

The crew began adjusting their seats while the Witch went to grab her things. She came back and set the crystal ball on the center of the table. She pulled out three candles, crystals, her dagger, palo santo cones and some salt. Their table had 13 pirates; the rest watched with interest around them.

“Pussies,” Kid laughed at them. Rowena arranged her items while smoking a joint. Kid leaned in to pluck it from her lips, she jerked her head away.

“Sorry, for mediums only,” she winked at him. He snatched it anyways. Sighing, she untied the witch’s ladder from her wrist and set it down.

Rowena instructed the participants to take some calming breaths and to think clearly of their desires; do they want to contact a spirit; do they wish to ask questions, etc. Taking a gulp of air, she turned and blew the chandelier lanterns out, waving a hand over the three smaller candles and they sparked, slowly burning. She then instructed the men to put their hands flat on the table, fingers touching each other and to not let go under any circumstances.

They exchanged looks but followed her orders; one man tried to object but she barked at him, “either maintain skin contact with each other or risk demonic possession or worse.” That shut him up. Her pinky fingers touched Kid and Killer’s hands on either side of her, curling her finger around her Supernova’s pinky and she began.

The rain pounded the ship, adding to the creepy aesthetic happening in the mess hall. Rowena’s eyes were closed as she took meditative breaths, the crew buzzed nervously.

“Is there anyone out there?” she called out – there was only silence. “If you are there, make yourself known. Knock on this table and tell us, are you here? Knock once for yes, twice for no. Knock if you understand.”

Knock. The pirates gasped, staring at the table. The sound had sounded like it came from the crystal ball but the orb was empty, reflecting the candle lights.

“Were you called by one of us?” Knock Knock.

“Can you name your caller?” Knock Knock.

She frowned. “Can you show us who you are drawn to?” Knock.

“Please show us.”

They heard a light rattling; looking down, they saw the witch’s ladder shaking lightly, vibrating. Suddenly, it shot forward across the table until it sat in front of the cat. Nervous snickering emitted from the crowd, the feline laid its ears flat, letting out a nervous growl.

“Cat says she senses something.”

The cat sniffed the air, batting at nothingness, then she let out a small meow, laying down and exposing her belly. Kid looked at Rowena.

“She says she recognizes who it is. It’s the Captain of her last ship; That island we found her on, their ship crashed and they washed up on shore, just the two of them. He died there years before we found her.” The cat began pacing until she settled on Heat. A candle went out.

“I think…I think her former Captain’s spirit moved on; I don’t sense it anymore.” The pirates in the back began to cheer. “Someone give me a shot of whiskey,” she requested.

Wire walked over and tipped his flask to her mouth. Taking a gulp, she grimaced as the bitter liquid went down her throat. Taking a breath, she let out a thin stream of fire at the candle, reigniting it. Kid grinned widely at her.

“Ok let’s try again. Same actions as before, try and project those thoughts as loud as you can. They won’t come if you don’t call loudly enough.”

Silence fell over as they all did as she said. After a few minutes, she started again, calling out for anyone or anything out there. Kid jolted; he swore he saw a red eye flash in the crystal ball for a split second; the hair on his neck stood up. Rowena squeezed his finger. She began chanting, trying to coax anyone into communicating with them. After another minute, she began quieting down, eyes shut closed in concentration. Lightning and thunder unrelenting outside.

Killer was the first to notice the fog in the room. It was thin as it coated the floors, quickly flooding the room. “Uh Rowena, should this be happening?”

No response. The fog hovered above the floor and stayed there. The pirates began shuffling nervously, some adjusted their seats, moving from the benches to tabletops to be out of reach of the fog.

Kid leaned his face to hers, “Rowena?” The crystal ball began to pulsate a pale, purple glow.

Her eyes opened and she gasped, looking around at everyone, examining the faces in front of her. She turned to face Kid and his eyes widened; her irises were dark gray.

“Rowena, what’s wrong?” he asked, anxiety building in his stomach. The Witch dropped her jaw, giving him a look in response. She looked at the table items; she leaned over to inspect the dagger and let out a shriek as she looked at her reflection.

“I can’t…I can’t believe it. My prayers, they’ve been answered,” she spoke but it wasn’t Rowena’s voice. Instead, the voice had an accent, a dialect he’d never heard before and couldn’t place.

“Mi hijita linda, she’s so grown up,” tears fell from her cheek, chest rising and falling rapidly. She ripped her hands from the table – at the distress of the others – and she wrapped her arms around her body, hugging herself tightly as she sobbed.

Kid looked at Killer who shrugged at him. The Captain leaned down, “Uhh…Are you, Hecate?”

The Witch’s head snapped up, “Yes, that is my name. Who are you? Why is my daughter amongst,” she looked over the crew, “pirates?” Kid let out a huff through his nose.

“Ok men, shut up. We’re speaking with Rowena’s mother, I guess. I’m Captain Kid, your daughter is a guest on my ship. She was leading a séance and now you��re here.” Rowena/Hecate stared at him intently, before nodding her head.

“I see. So she survived the massacre but my poor girl she was still young when that happened.” She closed her eyes, placing a hand to her chest. “Do you mind? I want to try something,” she reached for the crystal ball without waiting on a response.

The glow pulsed excitedly. She hovered her hands over the orb, swaying them gently. The purple became less of an ethereal glow and smoky whisps shrouded the orb. The swirling circled around the orb until it cleared, and nothing could have prepared Kid or the Kid Pirates for the horror movie they would be subjected to.

TW - heavy themes and violent descriptions/trauma described below

Flames were licking the sky, smoke and ash rising into the air. Women were being burned alive all around; the main perspective shifted and looked down at itself, at her own bounded body on the unlit pyre. She watched as a stocky man wearing a Marine hat and cape walked up to her.

‘You know, I don’t enjoy subjecting children or women to such brutal acts; but your kind are too dangerous to be left alive. It’s nothing personal kid, just doing my job’ he reached a hand at her, his hand was made of magma, and he dropped it beneath her feet.

The pyre lit up and she began to scream. Her flesh burned away until there was only blackened bone, her screams becoming garbled whispers as her vocal chords burned away along with her lungs. The sky changed as it became a dull gray, the ground was gray too. A skeletal arm with ribbons of muscle reached out, digging into the ground as she pulled herself from the pit. Every movement was followed by wailing screeches of pain until the movements ceased.

The sky changed again, this time it was less gray. The arm laid out in front of her was no longer skeletal. It was flesh again, but the flesh was marred with burn marks, still healing itself. A noise came from the side, she turned her head but she was blind in one eye. Through a haze, she could vaguely see the face bent down to her.

‘Holy shit, I can’t believe you’re still alive,’ and he called out for someone. She closed her eyes and blackness took over.

She opened her eyes and she was laying belly down on a table, bounded and gagged. She struggled and was met with a hit to the back of the head. She could only see the lit fire in front of her as she started hyperventilating, whimpered shrieks coming from within.

‘Stop moving or we’ll have to mark you elsewhere’ a voice snarled at her. She watched in fear as a hand lifted a poker, a red-hot symbol was on the end of it, and it was lifted behind her. Muffled screaming emitted from her as she whipped her head around, pain engulfing her as her body convulsed on the table and the blackness took her over again.

The scene changed, this time she was standing in front of a window. The framed arches were marble white and she looked at her reflection. Hair pulled back, collar around her neck, the look in Rowena’s eyes were emotionless. Cold. Tired. She looked down, she was high up – if she could maybe just push the window open as she brushed her fingers against the glass – she was yanked backwards and thrown on the floor.

‘Insolent wretch, do your fucking job. Useless gash’ as guards kicked her; she curled into herself, taking the kicks and not making a sound as her body jolted in every direction as they took out their cruelty on her defenseless form.

Sitting in a cage, she watched as the others were dragged to the platform, voice booming as the bidding began. Her hands were trembling. She started muttering in tongues to herself, placing her hand on the ground – black tendrils began to reach from her fingertips, slowly reaching outwards, they were cut short as a boot stomped on her outstretched fingers.

‘Kishishshishi. Well, what do we have here? A rare treasure.’ A large, terrifying face looked down at her.

‘She’s perfect! So cute, I want her,’ a shrill voice yelled, a pink haired girl bounded up to the bars.

‘Then she’s yours, my child,’ the man said.

Smokey whisps revealed a new location, more terrifying than the last. First an asylum with medical instruments, a hook nosed doctor with a steel chin operating on her. A haunted graveyard of zombies chasing her, scratching her, and waving weapons at her as she ran through a field.

She hid behind a tree, catching her breath. She heard a chuckle next to her as she was lifted into the air by her throat and slammed against the tree; the man, no creature materialized out of thin air, his face was mutilated – half human, half lion. It smiled wickedly at her as it began to grope her body as she screamed at him to let go. He slapped her, knocking her head against the tree with a loud thwack.

‘We own you now. I will never stop, and you will never escape from me,’ it licked her face, lapping up her tears. She kicked out, nailing him in between the legs and he dropped her, wheezing to the ground. She began running and running. The sky around her changed from day to night, inside and outside as she kept running.

She was inside now, looking at the armor in front of her. Her arms reached and touched it but there was no reflection in the metal. She turned and helped with the brutal extraction of a green-haired and blonde-haired mans’ shadows from their bodies, forcing them into the crudely stitched zombie corpses. She returned to the halls to restart the hunting process with the spider mice and other zombies.

Having caught the pirate ship’s captain, she waited for the Mysterious Four per the Warlord’s command. She was curious and came face to face with the young man with a straw hat in his golden suit of armor. He was friendly towards her, introducing himself and asking for her help, explaining how of course he had to dress up as a knight at the first opportunity. It confused her, his entire being made her feel conflicted. She made a feeble attempt to break his will and the man got annoyed at her.

‘Hey quit it! I don’t have time for this, I gotta get out of here and find my crew. You look like you could stand to get out of this dump.’

She began to cry, ‘I can’t. They have my shadow. I can never leave.’

‘Like Brook and the others huh?’ Luffy tilted his head at her. He gave her a sad look before he grinned widely, ‘not for long,’ looking defiantly at Moria’s stature. She helped her master sever his shadow as his corporeal body fell to the ground lifeless. Then she was helping her master revive a monstrous giant with straw hat’s shadow.

She was surprised to find the young captain retained his personality even after the contract on his shadow from Moria. She began to listen to him, his spouts of defiance in favor of his friends and adventure. Ruining all of Moria’s preparations, listening to him lose his shit in front of another Warlord of the Sea.

The fighting was brutal and intense, they were losing and Moria made a last-ditch effort for control – he made an offer, defeat him and their shadows would be freed. The young captain accepted the challenge. Then the young Captain stretched out a hand to her, offering her a place on his crew, she was dumbstruck. She was being pulled back but she ripped herself away and grasped onto the hand in front of her.

She and a skeleton man with an afro were now fighting alongside the young man’s crew, her fury directed at those who had tormented her as she slashed down at the commanders. She zeroed in on the lion man and ran after him, she slashed him once as he screamed in fear and turned invisible, escaping her.

“ABSALOM YOU COWARD!!!!” she shrieked, pure loathing in her eyes, chest heaving as an orange-haired woman stood behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder as she too glared in the direction the invisible turning pervert ran.

The scene changed again and now the sky was sunny and clear – it had been so long it hurt her eyes. The blonde chef was serving up lunch and the group laughed amongst each other having a good time. She stayed quiet until the others started engaging with her, pulling back her layers of loneliness and anger. She soon found herself smiling, it hurt her face.

The crew sat around a small fire while Rowena spoke, the group look solemn, somber, sorrowful. When her hand went to her mouth, no longer able to speak, Luffy ran up to her, giant eyes waterfalling tears, gasping and with shaky arms, hugged her. Rubber arms triple wrapping her and she went rigid, not sure what to do. The others slowly followed suit until she was at the center of a group hug. Everyone silent and crying but hugging and showing support. She began to smile as tears began to waterfall from her eyes, chest heaving from laughter and crying.

The scenes rapidly changed to different adventures, different fights, being chased by huge beasts and laughing while running. More scenes came as they focused on the Straw Hat crew faces, as if she was committing them to her memory forever.

They were having a water fight on the ship and she was winning – funneling ocean water directly at her crewmates, laughing in glee. Straw Hat Luffy was grumpy at her, calling her a cheater as he laid on his back, unable to move. The Witch jumped on to the deck next to him only to be drenched in water as the others advanced on her and the Captain with their water guns, they were all laughing together and completely soaked.

-end TW-

The crystal ball began to clear until only the light purple glow remained. Rowena/Hecate was sobbing, gasping loudly. The Kid Pirates were all still staring at the orb, not done processing what they witnessed in front of them. Kid was shaking, looking at the woman next to him.

“So much pain, so much hatred. And she rose above it. And she found friends, I-” the Witch laid her head on the table and she cried. Kid rubbed her back, not sure what else to do. Killer did the same. After a few moments, she sat back up, rubbing her eyes.

“I’m sorry, I wanted to see what her life was like after the attack. I never would have thought…” she didn’t finish the sentence. She was offered a flask and she drank from it, draining it in seconds.

She looked to Kid, “Please when I go, please tell me daughter I am so sorry. I failed her, I should have been there to save her from that hell,” tears fell again. Kid nodded. That seemed to calm her down some. “I can’t stay much longer. Before I go, is there anything I can do or any questions you want me to answer?”

Kid gave it a thought. “She said she never knew her father. Do you recall him?” The Witch gasped, nodding.

“Yes. I remember him, he was a powerful yet sweet man. I wanted to tell him so badly but it was against our Coven laws. I almost left so I could stay with him, give him the opportunity to know his daughter – but she was born under special circumstances. The Supreme was never going to allow her off the island. His name is Rayleigh; Silvers Rayleigh.” The crew erupted into gasps and excited chatter. “You know of him?”

Nodding, Kid said “we know him. Rowena knows him too. They are allies but I don’t believe either of them know the truth.”

Rowena/Hecate cried into her hands. “I can’t believe, they found each other. Please tell her, she deserves to know.” Kid nodded again. His expression turned sullen as he mulled his next question over. Fuck it I need to know, he thought.

“Can you tell me why your daughter is so devoted to the man with the Straw Hat? They’re…an unusual crew and I can’t understand the appeal, or why she is dead set on rejoining them.” She eyed him for moment, before turning back to the crystal ball. It began pulsing again, turning a vivid purple, the smoke inside swirled quickly becoming denser. They started seeing movement in the glass.

A young Straw Hat Luffy stood beside Dracule Mihawk, watching his first recruited crewmember Roronoa Zoro who was on his back with bloody gashes across his chest. He began to speak: ‘I have ambition – to be the world’s greatest swordsman. I will not be defeated ever again!’ Luffy grinned at him, Mihawk’s eyes lit up in acceptance. ‘Until the day I defeat him and become a master swordsman…I’ll never be defeated! Got any problems with that, King of the Pirates?!’ Luffy laughed, ‘nope!’

A new scene appeared. ‘Nami,’ Luffy said gently, taking the dagger the orange haired girl was stabbing into her arm. Screaming at him to leave, crying for him to mind his business yet he did not move. ‘Luffy, please help me,’ she gasped, tears slid down her face. He put his straw hat on her head and walked away, stopping to say, ‘of course, that’s what friends do’ before puffing his chest out and screaming into the air, ‘HE’S GONNA PAY.’ Arlong Park was destroyed, Luffy stood in the rubble, ‘Nami! You’ll always be my friend!’ and Nami smiled through her tears, ‘yeah.’

The scene changed, and Luffy was on his new ship with Nami and Zoro taking about their recent win, watching Usopp, the long-nosed pirate standing on the rocks, who for whatever reason had not joined them on the ship yet. He was still with Kaya, the one who gifted them the boat. ‘I am the mighty Captain Usopp, and I will be a great warrior of the sea!’ he declared to her. Luffy laughed and called out, ‘get on already, we’re friends now, aren’t we?’ Zoro smirked. Usopp’s jaw was hanging, before he let out a grin. He ran on board ‘I get to be the Captain right?!’

Luffy was crouching down to a smoking Sanji, aboard a giant restaurant ship. ‘Say, do you know the All Blue? I’ll come along on your journey to become King of the Pirates. We both have foolish dreams. In order to achieve my goal, I’ll be the cook for your ship.’ Luffy grinned at him. Sanji bowed his head and yelled at a large man with a peg leg, ‘CHEF ZEFF. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE DAMN THINGS YOU’VE DONE FOR ME OVER THESE YEARS.’

‘I have no idea who this flag originally belonged to, it doesn’t matter. A pirate’s flag stands for something much greater than what you can ever hope to understand! It won’t break. Ever. The skull on it, is the symbol of faith!’ Luffy declared. ‘Hey reindeer, I’m gonna kick these guys asses for disrespecting your friend’s flag, is that cool?” Luffy grinned maniacally. The small reindeer called out against menacing characters, ‘Even if I don’t have any friends, I can still fight. And as long as the flag flies, so will I!’ the little reindeer shouted. ‘You do have friends!’ called out Luffy, who was swinging himself down from the top of the castle. ‘I am your friend!’ he screamed, blood running down his face – hand gripping a black jolly roger with cherry blossom petals – saving him. They were saying goodbye to an old woman who was chugging a bottle of wine. Chopper looked at the crew around him. ‘I can’t become your friend. But if you wanted to stop by and visit again-’ he cried. Luffy jumped up and yelled, ‘Shut up! Let’s gooooooo!’

‘ROBIN!!!!’ Luffy roared from the top gate of Enies Lobby along with his crew. ‘I CAME TO BRING YOU BACK!!!’ Spandam taunted them, ��Look at this flag pirate scum – that mark represents the World Government. You are insignificant.’ he leered at the crew. ‘I understand Robin’s enemy very well. Hey SniperKing,’ Luffy spoke to Usopp in a mask. ‘Shoot through that flag.’ It burned away from the explosive as Spandam became a blubbering mess. Luffy’s screaming drowned the enemies. Nico Robin gasped, tears flowing from her eyes. ‘ROBIN! SAY THAT YOU WANT TO LIVE!’ Luffy yelled out. Robin lurched forward, ‘I WANT TO LIIIIIIIIVE!!!! TAKE ME TO THE SEA WITH YOU!’

The Straw Hats were throwing a piece of laundry at each other as a cyborg chased them angrily. ‘If you want these underpants back, you’ll have to join us!’ Luffy laughed. ‘Don’t be so cocky. I feel sorry for the ship when it’s this great but has no real shipwright in the crew.’ His dream of sailing the world with a ship he built revealed, Franky smirked, ‘I can take care of it for you,’ he said. ‘I, Franky, will take on the role of the shipwright of your crew!’ the pirates cheered and welcomed him on board as they tossed his underwear back.

The skeleton pirate watched the trio on his ship, observing Luffy who called out, ‘Join our crew!’ to the shock and terror of his crewmates. ‘Alright then,” he committed immediately. Explaining his predicament and his life, he took to the young pirate crew immediately, helping them defeat the Thriller Bark Pirates. Brook was playing on the piano while everyone was partying around them, Luffy sat on top of the baby grand grinning. ‘I’m so happy to hear that Laboon is well and still waiting. My shadow is back, we’re out of the demonic sea. It was tough every day. Truthfully, I didn’t see even a glimpse of hope. But Luffy – I’M SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE!’ the skeleton man wept through his empty sockets. ‘Can I still join your crew?’ he asked. Luffy laughed, upside down, ‘Yeah that’s cool.'

‘I gotta find my crew. You should get out of this dump,’ Luffy said. She began to cry, ‘I can’t. They have my shadow. I can never leave.’ ‘Like Brook huh?’ He gave her a sad look, before he grinned widely, ‘not for long.’

The lion man, the doctor and a massive Warlord Gecko Moria stood against Luffy. Rowena was in between the Thriller Bark Pirates, a living corpse among them.

He spoke to her, ‘You look miserable, is this what you want? Join my crew and you’ll never suffer like this. I’m strong and I always protect my friends. If I can’t, I don’t deserve to be King of the Pirates,’ he spoke determined with his hand out, waiting for her.

The enemies laughed at them both, the half man/half lion grabbed Rowena by the back of her neck, his fingers digging into her flesh and her side as he copped a half feel, dragging her backwards towards him. Rowena’s eyes came alive then, she angrily elbowed Absalom in the face, tearing away from his grasp.

‘I WANT TO BE FREEEE!’ she screamed, blood dribbling from her neck. She began to run towards Straw Hat, reaching out her hand. ‘LUFFY, PLEASE SAVE ME!’ He grinned, grabbing her hand and tossing her behind him as he began his duel with Moria.

‘C’mon spill it, what’s your dream?’ Luffy poked her. Looking at the crew as they ate on deck, waiting for her answer. Clearing her throat, ‘the last thing I was told before my coven was massacred was that I would be the one to pave the way to the future. My dream is to become the most powerful Supreme Witch in the world. How can I help you achieve your dreams, Pirate King?’ Luffy gave her a toothy grin, handing her his hunk of meat.

The crystal ball reverted to a low glow; it was pulsing very slowly now. “He’s like the sun,” Rowena/Hecate whispered as she stared at the now empty orb with large eyes.

Kid barely registered the whisper as he took it all in; he could hear some of his men crying and sniffling. His face was stoic, all he felt was bitter sadness and seething anger for the hell Rowena had gone through.

He wanted to set Thriller Bark aflame but Straw Hat already took care of that, he gritted his teeth. He finally understood her loyalty to Luffy. Her desire to be with her crew; they really were her new family. Kid realized he would be the next monster in her life if he tried to keep her from them. He scowled at the table as the realization hit him.

“I have nothing to worry about it seems,” Rowena/Hecate wiped the tears in her eyes before she began whipping her head around the room. The fog that had settled was beginning to rise, moving quickly. “I’ve overstayed my welcome. I must go now. Tell my daughter, I will always love her,” she looked at Kid, who nodded.

She waved her hands over the palo santo cones and they began to burn. She threw them on the ground and the fog began to hiss around them, receding. The Witch grabbed Kid and Killer’s hands as she began chanting. The crystal ball began to glow brightly.

“Wait!” Kid shouted. Rowena/Hecate looked at him, questioningly. “The dragon horn of fire thing – Rowena said the horn is missing. Do you know where it is?”

Leaning her face to him, she whispered “Dressrosa. Be careful, that place is not what it seems, not anymore. So many enemies, even those who were once friends.” She closed her eyes and after a moment, the candles went out. The Kid Pirates all gasped in the darkness – no one moved or made a sound; the only noise came from the storm still raging outside.

One by one each candle flicked back to life, Rowena’s lavender eyes were open and she was staring intensely at the crystal ball in front of her. The pirates screamed as they saw a giant red eyeball staring back out at them. Kid froze, it was the same eye Rowena had been drawing in his room. It looked at each of them before settling its gaze on Rowena, who didn’t say anything.

“Little lady,” a man’s voice tsked at her, “you’re not very good at this kind of thing ya know. You’re lucky the room was cleansed, otherwise you and your friends would have been in very big trouble.”

“Yeah I know, I’m working on it,” she snapped at it.

The eye widened, then closed. “So hostile. You were a lot nicer when you were dying. Speaking of – any progress?”

Rowena pointed to the crystal ball. “That’s my progress. Like I said before, the knowledge is limited. There are only so many sources.”

The eye opened again, sighing. “Very well. You know where to find me. Try to not get possessed again will ya?” The eye disappeared before she could respond. She threw a silk cloak over it. The pirates stared at her. “That’s the guardian I made a contract with. I guess he was lurking.” They kept staring at her. “What?!”

Kid cleared his throat, “Everyone that isn’t Rowena or Killer leave now.” The room cleared out. “Do you remember any of what happened?”

“All of it,” she said curtly.

“…Killer you too, out.” The blonde-haired man left. “Ok what’s going on?”

“I’m angry.”

“I can tell.”

“So now you know it all. Every moment of pain, every violation against my body and autonomy.”

“Yes. But I also saw happy moments too. With the Straw Hats,” he said as softly as he could muster.

Tears pricked her eyes, “I know, they’re my memories that you all saw.”

“Why are you so angry?”

“Because she wasn’t there. When we were being massacred, she was off on one of her fucking expeditions. And she got herself killed elsewhere.”

“Is that all?”

“No!” she slammed her hand on the table. “It was bad enough that she was constantly away for her research. But I was with him, talking to him, my own father and I HAD NO FUCKING CLUE!” she slapped away her tools, they scattered on the floor.

Thunder and lightning cracked outside making the ship quake. Rowena got up leaving her things behind, she walked towards the door. It locked, she turned around seeing Kid’s outreached hand in the air. She reached her hand out too, the door unlocked. Kid growled, locking it again. She unlocked it. Kid stomped up to her with an angry scowl, and she stood in front of him defiantly, as if silently daring him to put his hands on her.

He hesitated before lowering his arms, then tentatively reaching out a hand towards her. She took it, and he pulled her into a bear hug. She began to convulse into his body as she wept.

“Kid,” she cried. He looked down at her. “Everyone saw it. All of it. I feel sick.” He crushed her into him as her body heaved but she eventually pushed off him. “I’m sorry, it’s too much,” she sobbed and turn to run out of the mess hall.

Rowena threw the door open and everyone on the crew was lined up in the hallway, they all gave her a mixture of startled and sad gazes. She began to feel claustrophobic as she felt surrounded, Kid quickly walking up behind her. Before he could touch her, Rowena’s shoulders began heaving as she started to hyperventilate.

“Kid wait-” Killer started as he also walked up to the Witch and began to stretch his hand out to her.

“Leave me alone!” she yelled as she pulled her fists up to either side of her. The hallway became so cold that everyone could see their breaths in front of them. A sheet of frost began to appear on the ceiling as it rapidly crawled down the walls.

“Rowena you have to calm down,” Killer moved towards her again and she turned to run to the deck.

“STOP HER ITS TOO DANGEROUS OUTSIDE!” Kid roared at everyone but it was too late, the Witch threw her hand at the door blowing it open and she sprinted into the storm. Lightning arced in the sky as rocky waves bashed into the ship, jostling the Kid Pirates still in the hallway.

Slipping on the main deck, Rowena kept running as her memories and pain spiraled in her mind. She was numbly aware of the weather around her but she couldn’t stop moving, she felt as if there was dark energy inside her trying to consume her, to eat its way from her belly and lash out. Behind her she heard clamoring and yells as the pirates tried to call her back inside, Kid being the loudest of them. She turned her head and saw they were running out to catch her.

Without thinking she turned to face them and she brought her hands together clapping them, forming a thick wall of ice in front of the entrance to the hallway, trapping them from coming out.

Turning back, she continued running on the deck until she leapt over on to the top of the Dinosaur skull. She watched the sea churn dangerously as a clap of lightning lit up the sky and Rowena threw her head back and screamed with every fiber of her being into the sky. The wind whipped harshly against her as her teeth chattered from the cold. She could hear the sound of Heat using his fire to burn the ice wall down. Rowena stepped towards the edge of the skull, contemplating jumping into the ocean.

How does that help my friends? I just want to run away. Why do I want to run away, what am I running from? My past is over, I have a different life now. Sure things keep going off the rails but I’m free. So why do I feel like I’m already drowning? It’s just trauma right? Maybe it’s just from having been exposed to everyone like that, I shouldn’t feel ashamed, none of those things were my fault. Then why do I feel so worthless and weak? Because…because I’m supposed to be stronger, I was supposed to be the strongest and instead I was captured and broken down. Now I have no guidance and only raw power that will devour me.

The thought of letting the magic consume her gave her pause, almost made her grin wildly. How she would love to just let go of all her inhibitions and see just how far she could go if she gave in to the call of power inside of her, begging to be released.

The dark energy pulsed inside her at the thought, egging her on – you could be so much better if you just let me have control.

She touched her sternum and hummed, trying to connect with the magic inside her that was fighting to be released. Suddenly she remembered her own words to Kid, back when she was first explaining her magic. ‘If a Witch cannot control an element, the element can consume her and use her like a puppet.’

Rowena brought her hand down and frowned, the dark cry inside her pulsed dangerously, incensed. Her breathing was coming back to normal but she stood as still as a statue as the storm carried on, rain and wind slapping her frozen face, she was in a trance.

“ROWENA WATCH OUT!” was all she heard.

Her eyes were closed but she could feel the incoming electricity that was lighting up the sky; every hair on her body rose. Too many branches, and they’re coming straight towards the ship. And I’m wet too, this…this is gonna hurt. Shaking her head, she opened her eyes and twisted her body around to look back at the Kid Pirates. The ice wall was partially melted and she could see Kid’s face breaking through the wall screaming at her.

The sky lit up as several branches of lightning began to strike down, most landing into the ocean. The crew shielded their eyes from the bright flashing as several strikes came down towards the ship, preparing themselves for impact. But it never came.

Kid watched through squinted eyes as Rowena jumped down to the main deck. Using her right hand, she lifted it into the sky and Kid swore he saw a blue glowing emit from her flesh. It attracted the lightning as all the branches that had aimed for the ship were instead pulled into her hand with her magic. With her other hand, she used the tips of her fingers to touch the hand intercepting the lightning, running her fingers down the length of her arm, across her chest, and she swung her left arm out to the opposite side of the sea.

The lightning travelled through her hand into her body and out through the other hand as she guided the dangerous current into the sea. On impact the charge lit up the water as it glowed vividly white then turned yellow as the lightning dissipated into the water.

She gingerly lowered her arms and slowly walked to the ice wall. She put both hands on it and the wall melted at her touch, her body involuntarily jerked. Kid reached out to her but before he could touch her skin, he felt the bite of electricity was still strong in her so he resisted the touch.

Unfortunately for Heat, he did not stop himself from crashing into the Witch to hug her. His arms didn’t even encircle her fully before he was sent flying backwards from a nasty electrical aftershock. His hair was sticking out in all directions, and there was smoke emitting from his scalp.

“Sorry Heat,” she murmured before collapsing face down on the deck.

Body modifications for Kid Pirates and fanon characters! Who's got them, who's giving them, and how was the experience? I imagine their are a couple of tattoo artists and piercers on the Victoria but who has the most interesting story either giving or receiving 🤣

these are very very good questions that you're asking, and i have so many headcanons about this

Kid Pirates who has body modifications/piercings/tattoos:

Kid - helix, industrial, orbital and lobe piercings in his ears, really wants a dick piercing

Heat - all of his stitches on his body are tattoos and has industrial and helix piercings in both ears

Emma - had a body modification done so she can have elf ears and 6 piercings in each ear, also the Kid Pirates jolly roger on her left hip

Hop - nipple and ear piercings, also a book quote tattoo above her chest

Quincy - is a trained piercer and has lip, eyebrow, bellybutton and nose piercings

UK - nose piercings and stretched earlobes from plugs which he forgets to put in

Noe - dick, tongue and ear piercings, also has a tramp-stamp tattoo of his name (he doesn't know why, he was drunk)

Gig - body modification in the form of an eye tattoo in his left eye so its a different colour (red) and tattoos of different guitars on each knuckle

Bubblegum - ear and collar bone piercings, knuckle tattoos spelling his name and a bubblegum packet

Wire - dick and tongue piercings (Wire, Haikei and Noe all got tongue piercings together) and his brothers' names tattooed on his right arm

Compo - has 1.5cm plugs in both his ears and various tattoos on both arms (including a drawing Dive made of him)

Oscar - eye tattoos on both eyes to make his pupils white

Papas - has 2cm plugs and a tattoo of a tortoise on his back

Haikei - lip and tongue piercings, is a trained tattoo artist with multiple tattoos which he designed (including a bad drawing of a dick on his actual dick) and lets Dive design him new tattoos

Moai - simple ear piercings

Reck - has the name of his old band tattooed on his upper back

Boogie - ear and collarbone piercings and a small tattoo of the Kid Pirates' jolly roger on his right shoulder

Jaguar - has a large tattoo of a panda playing the guitar on his left thigh and his old boxing name tattooed across his collarbone

Kid Pirates who don't have any of the above:

Dive - hasn't expressed an interest in piercings yet, is also forbidden from getting tattoos or changing her body until she's at least 16

Hip - afraid of needles but wants ear piercings or a small tattoo of a dragonfly soon

House - as the crew's doctor, she has dealt with too many horror stories to want anything done beyond ear piercings

Killer - just isn't interested, but came to this decision by also witnessing most of these horror stories

Mosh - hasn't gotten around to getting anything done yet

Pomp - thinks he already looks cool enough and that he's too old to do modify his body with anything

who has the most interesting stories:

Haikei - he woke up one day hung over and panicked over why his dick hurt so bad. he sprinted to find House, demanding she take a look at it to find out why it hurt so bad. Haikei was convinced it was a STD and poor House had to inspect Haikei's penis until she spotted the awful drawing of a dick. to this day he has no explanation as to why he did that to himself when he had barely drunk anything compared to normal (it was a whole vodka bottle).

Quincy - who got punched in the face when piercing Bubblegum's collarbones because they weren't expecting the pain to be so bad, despite Quincy reminding Bubblegum how low their pain tolerance is.

UK - sneezed when he got his nose piercings and got snot on the person he paid to pierce him. the sneeze also meant he didn't get one of his piercings in the place he wanted it.

Kid Pirates hcs #5

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  More Kid Pirates hcs 1 | 2 | 3 | 4.1 - 4.2 | 5 | 6 | 7

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  Kid Pirates OC bios — Light | Blaze | Calista | Kira | Eun | Grunge

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  Manda — @silvernyxchariot ; Solace — @ramdeviltart ; Osiris — @/idonthaveacluewhatsgoingonhere

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  Medieval AU edition ✨️ Inspiration came when I attended the medieval fair in Kaltenberg back in late July '22 (didn't have the chance to go last year), and the first group of knights passed by a while before the parade, and the need for HCs like this just deepened once the knight tournament had something heavy playing as OST during the show.

Hcs under the cut for length ✨️

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  The main base of the House of Eustass, his group also known the Dark Knights (as they call themselves) or the Barbarians (as they are called amongst commoners and nobility alike), is a sturdy stronghold built atop a mountain with sharp jagged rocks and steep crags. Black colours with purple and red accents hoisted on the highest poles of the old castle they've conquered keep most other factions far away beyond the foot of the mountain it sits upon - their reputation and the 'highly inviting' decoration along the road leading up to the keep entirely aside. Most people cower in fear if Kid and his group do make their way downhill to restock their supplies. Some days, they just raid and rob unknowing merchants travelling too close to their turf, on other days, they actually purchase the goods they require.

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  Their House's signature colours being red, purple, and red, they do have a couple of members who do not necessarily wear all of those colours and/or not all the time. Among them would be one of the women, the doctor, who tends to wear lighter and preferably pink tones. Their coat of arms is a set of golden gears on blood red and vibrant purple.

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  They do tend to play loud music, regardless if it's only a casual feast at a banquet, a tournament, or when they're going to war. There's bagpipes, drums, strings, and other instruments. What's more, when they're out on the sea to raid some far-away countries and villages, they tend to bust out in chants. They enjoy emerging from the foggy void of darkness of pitch-black nights, merely with two or three lit torches at most, their voices joined in a chorus of low and bone-chilling songs, relatively akin to how Vikings may have done it. It's one of the reasons why they have such a horrible reputation and are rather feared (one of the examples for this "Valhalla Calling" group). On other occasions, where they're out on an open field or the vast seas late at night, ready for their attack, they also might ask the 'maidens' to go siren mode before the rest of the group will join with the bass line; similar to this.

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  Next to the doctor already mentioned above, we'd have - among others - the "mage with no chill" (to quote Nyxy, when I asked them), responsible for spell-based sniper attacks, who's beloved by the Dark Knights' large black hounds and a flamingo-loving Lord of the Southlands alike. Then there's the artificer and craftsman who suffers from a curse cast upon them before their birth (having turned into a maritime human). The group also has a tailor who was taken hostage during a war against another country, but their rulers never even tried to retrieve them. Their chef used to be a slave, but was freed somewhere along the way and was supposed to be executed if they had not intervened. Mosh, their blacksmith, crafting all the armours and weapons alongside Eun's help. Wire is their silent (van)guard captain, albeit not very talkative - alas, his tactical signs have served the Dark Knights well on every occasion. The group's vice leader, Kid's advisor and right-hand, is a master assassin highly skilled with scythes. Surprisingly, their best torturer is a young maiden who'd been recruited from another lord after their defeat.

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  Their shacks are filled with mostly black or dark brown horses, as well as some mixed ones. They're all rather massive and sturdy, perfect for long travels and on the battlefield. Unlike other riders' companions, these animals don't scare away from the noises of combat and have been through lots of things with their respective keepers. Funnily enough, barely any of them are "normally" bred ones: they were caught wild and got tamed and trained by the Dark Knights.

🌹ꦽꦼ̷  They all have their respective "domains" in the castle. Some are warded with a special spell or password, such as Manda's lab and observatory, Solace' herb gardens, Kid's workshop, Osiris' torture dungeon, or Light's kitchen. They did 'set' some people who were allowed to enter their own little realms, but most of the others have to stay out due to multiple past incidents.
