OOOOOOOOOOO

This tags and everything you’ve put down are lovely!

Also, YES YES YES! I like your thought process. I think Danny could be like, the Ancient of Heroes and Space while being the embodiment of Balance (as his ghost half was immediately born within a portal, which we don’t see for the only two other Halfas. Vlad had a slow process and Ellie had no process. Danny could literally be straight up claimed by the Infinite Realms and Living World equally). We also know that there’s a relic that can mind control ghosts/ecto-entities, so we can build off of that and say Vlad got a relic similar but not exactly like it. Like, if Danny goes against an order, then it acts similar to a shock collar (except instead of a shock, it does either something like draining his powers or something worse than a shock) type of thing maybe, and a relic affecting someone’s power would probs mess up a summoning? Add on some blackmail and Vlad’s able to prevent Danny from fighting back in a human way as well!

Also, yeah, the JLD are freaking out most likely over The Balance not being able to be summoned, that’s like, bad bad news, especially because it didn’t feel like a rejection of the summons, it was a full on “this number can’t be reached at this time, try again later” (like improbably-luminescent said earlier), which has much worse connotations than a simple summoning rejection.

(MAGIC SHANK!)

Also, everyone will feel a shiver of dread upon learning that 1- Danny made a way-too-powerful magic sword and 2- gave it to Damian “Stabby Robin” Wayne Al Ghul of all people

Practice Your Skills

“You ever look at someone and wonder how hard it would be to get past their defenses and stab them.

Damian snapped his head to the side, looking at the young boy now standing beside him.

The boy put his hands up in front of him with a wince, “Not that I ever do that. Totally not, whaaaat???”

Damian huffed and turned back around to watch the gala participants.

“It’s just you kinda looked like you were contemplating the logistics of stabbing Mrs.Halterguild for squeezing your cheeks.”

Damian scowled. Then, after a moment’s beat, “It would not be very difficult. She is nearly blind in her left eye, I would be able to approach without repost.”

The kid hummed, turning back as well before motioning to another group to the far right, “What about Mr. Beckensmith, he’s a retired vet right?”

Damian rolled his eyes and scowled harder, “The man has only seen the battlefield of an office as he bribed his way from being fully enlisted and instead managed to pay for increasingly higher ranks and medals. He is a disgrace.”

The kid cocked his head to the side, looking suspicious for a second and then nodding with concession, “Fair enough, I bet I could get close enough too.”

Damian scoffed.

“What, don’t believe me?”

Damian leveled a doubtful glare at the civilian, making it clear by looking him up and down, “Hardly.”

The other smirked dangerously, “If I can get close enough to poke him and get away without being noticed, will you believe me?”

Damian narrowed his eyes but nodded succinctly and watched as the boy immediately took off, making a few loops around other people before finally backing up to Mr. Beckensmith and poking him on the opposite side as a group moved past.

Damian pursed his lips. Interesting. Certainly better than he would expect from an amateur. And an amateur civilian at that.

When the boy returns to his side Damian brushes off the asks of meaningless praise.

“Come on, I did it, now you have to go poke Mrs. Halterguild without getting caught.”

Damian sneers, “And why would I do that?”

“Because I don’t believe you either, the woman’s old but I bet she sees you and squeezes your cheeks again. Old ladies just have a sixth sense for that stuff you know.”

Damian nearly growls but sets off on his task. He makes sure to stay on her left side, but the woman turns at the last second, forcing Damian to use a passing waiter as cover to remain hidden and finally get close enough to poke her gaudy dress.

Then he sidles back up to the boy on the edges and provides his best ‘I am more capable than you’ scowl. The boy simply laughs and says, “Who’s next?”

They spend the night like that, choosing each other’s targets to attack non-lethally as though they were attempting to stab them, and Damian finds the gala going by in a significantly less tedious manner.

Right up until the boy laughs at him when he chooses a target. Only one bark of laughter escapes, but it is enough for Damian to consider stabbing him as well. If only with a butter knife.

Instead, Damian grinds his teeth and asks, “What is so different about Masters, do you really believe you would be unable to succeed?”

The other gives a breathless chuckle, “I’m pretty sure even you wouldn’t be able to successfully stab Vlad Masters,” The boy’s shoulders sag even as his jaw tightens with irritation, “He sees everything.”

Damian narrows his eyes. Something naws at the back of his brain but currently the critique of his capabilities takes precedence.

“I would be capable of stabbing Masters even without my favored sword,” Damian scowls and stands taller with annoyance.

“Sure you can, man,” At this, the boy quirks a sharp smile, “If you can actually get him, I’ll personally get you a magic sword,” he says with an air of amused indulgence. Like he thinks Damian is some insipid child saying he will find a fairy.

Damian grits his teeth and shakes the other’s hand, then immediately sets off after his target. How dare this civilian question him! He is the Son of the Bat, this is not even a challenge!

Damian growls as his approach is thwarted for the third time by the man turning in his direction and almost spotting him. How dare he! He will not fail!

Just as he reaches to jab the man in the side, already poised to make his escape, Masters whips around and clamps his fingers around Damian’s wrist with a vice grip.

“Really Daniel I thought we were over-“ Masters pauses, looking at Damian critically as he glares at the man’s offending hand, “You are not young Daniel.”

“Remove your hand from my person at once,” Damian growls.

Instead of listening to Damian’s very sensible directions, Masters tightens his grip and twists his arm, most likely in an attempt to hurt him.

“Now why is a child attempting to-“

Damian doesn’t wait to hear the rest of the man’s words, sliding a dagger into his other hand and swinging towards him, until that hand is caught mid-movement as well.

“Heh-Hey there!”

Damian snaps his head to the side just in time to see Grayson take his dagger and slide it into his pocket. He ignores the bark of laughter he hears from across the room.

Masters’ hand disappears from his arm suspiciously fast, “Mr. Wayne, what a pleasure!”

Damian looks over his other shoulder to see his father standing behind him, a thin smile on his face, “Vladimir!”

His father’s figure quickly obscures his vision, putting an arm over Masters’ shoulders in a way that clearly makes him irritated but forces him to follow as he is steered away.

“Dami, I thought we talked about the stabbing at formal events,” Grayson says through a strained smile as he looks over the crowd to make sure no else saw.

“Tt, it was merely a demonstration of my skills, he was in no real danger until he refused to release me. I simply sought to correct that mistake.”

Grayson pinchesthe bridge of his nose, “Demonstration for who, Dames? We all already know your skills.”

“Tt,” Damian scowls and turns away.

Instead of pushing it, Grayson simply sighs heavily, “Just stay out of trouble for the rest of the gala okay? We’re almost done.”

Damian scoffed and waited for Grayson to leave. Once he does, Damian finally looks over to where he had been lingering with the boy.

Gone.

Clearly he’d taken the cowards way out when he’d seen that Damian had been accosted by Masters.

Pitiful.

Damian spends the rest of the night scowling from the wall and looking serendipitously for a head of black hair and blue eyes unrelated to him.

Of course it’s not until they are actively leaving that Damian sees him and immediately splits off of from his family.

He approaches with irritation, preparing to grab the other by the shoulder when suddenly he turns around and blue eyes meet Damian’s green.

“You,” Damian sneers.

“Me,” The other shrugs. He has an amused smile on his face, though it was strained at the edges.

They stare in silence for a minute, before the other’s smile grows and sharpens once more, “I didn’t expect you to actually try to stab him, y’know,” A slight laugh escapes him, “Not that it was unwelcome by any means, but still, unexpected.”

Damian scowls again, glaring at this foolish civilian.

“Oh, I never introduced myself did I?!”

The boy exclaims and holds out a hand, smile dangerous, “Daniel Fenton. Or if we’re being technical,” a pause as Damian finally returns the gesture and finds his hand trapped, “Daniel Masters, a pleasure to meet you Damian.”

“Hurry up little badger,” A voice says beside them, and Damian notices that it is indeed Vladimir Masters.

The man approaches, placing a heavy hand on Fenton’s shoulder, making the boy go taut, and then they both step into a dark car, leaving Damian on the front steps.

Damian’s anger flares and he shoots a glare directly to the boy getting into the car. It dies the moment they meet eyes and Damian sees the fear hiding in the other’s eyes.

Fear that Damian is all too familiar with.

Fear that reminded Damian of himself. Reminded him of his own eyes when he’d been under his grandfather.

But why did Fenton look like that?

Another continuation for this storyline but this time it will be focused on the children…..

[This has been sitting in my drafts for over a month now, and finally finished it]

- The order of the children are Marco 23 > Smoker 21 > Vivi 18 > Doflamingo & Rocinante 16 > Law 15 > Foxy 13 > Pudding 13 > Bentham 12 > Hiyori 11 > Perona 10 > Bonny 9 > Buggy 8.

- Being the eldest Marco had the highest expectations, his first 2 years of life were surrounded by his father who discarded him after finding no special Mana in Jim focusing on his younger siblings that came after him, which lead to him having some Daddy issues and loathing his siblings for no reason it wasn’t until his personal teacher Edward Newgate, made him see the bigger picture and started treasuring his siblings and protecting them from their father, even his Half siblings because they are his family.

- Like Marco, Smoker has high expectations but unlike his older brother , his expectations fell fast, which made him a target to his father’s anger, who belittled him and insulted his talents. Smoker tried to get close to Marco but was only met with the same belittling causing him to isolate himself, it wasn’t until Vivi was born that he finally felt close to someone other than his mother and seeing how she also Failed their father’s trials he decided to be there to shelter his younger sister unlike how Marco treated him. He did grow up to be strong magic user but still had hidden insecurities.

- Being the eldest daughter, Vivi faced many challenges, other than the ones her father had put her through. Seeing her family dynamic she made it her mission to make everyone happy, which was difficult with her eldest brother pushing her away and her other brother isolating himself. Only her mother supported her but it wasn’t good enough. At some point she got into a rebel phase where she tried to act bad. But Marco and Smoker got to her and apologize for not seeing her efforts, which made the children have this heartwarming reconciliation. And see their father won’t stop until he has his heir they swore among themselves to protect your each other and future siblings.

- Ever since they were young Doffy and Rosy immediately noticed the different treatment of their father to them. At first Doffy got great attention from their father, it was even longer than Marco’s time with him, some even believed that he was the waited prodigy but when the challenges became too tough too difficult, like everyone else Doffy was discarded, which lit great anger within him, he still believed that he was the great prodigy but his father was too far gone in the head to see it. He hated all his siblings but tolerated his twin brother, it wasn’t until very later in life that he got close to them, but it was short lived, for he only wanted power.

-Rosy on the other hand, decided to hide from their father when he saw how scary and cruel he can be. He felt alone during Doffy’s training time with their father, so he found comfort in Vivi and smoker. Even during the times when his mother falls ill the queen was there to take care of him personally so thankfully he wasn’t as lonely as he thought he was going to be. When Doffy returned to them as a “fake” prodigy he was there to welcome him back even when he spat insults on everyone else Rosy still believed that his brother was good but had great anger in him. When Law was born Rosy was the first to hold him making him feel special connection to him and taking care of law personally, which angered Doffy but the queen and his older siblings encouraged it, making him the softest sibling. So everyone was in shock when the gentlest person amongst them, stood in front of their father being accused to sitting fire to a medical school. “The professor there made fun of Law, and said that he will never master healing magic, so I had to teach him a lesson.” Rosy was punished, but it was lenient punishment since it was to defend his family’s honor.

-Law was a quiet child, always observing but not very talkative, unlike his older siblings he didn’t catch their father’s attention, making conclude that he was seen as unworthy since infancy, but he didn’t mind nor care. He was the closest to Rosy, who always showed excitement to everything law showed him, even if he didn’t understand it, Law found it funny when he pretended to understand any information that Law shared, and when he decided to study and follow healing medicine Rosy was there to get him all the books he needed and pointed him to best medicine schools to study in. Law was most touched when his older brother, burned the professor’s office for him. But hearing his cries from their father’s punishment he decided that he will learn how to use healing magic for fighting to protect his gentle brother against anyone who’d hurt him.

-Foxy was the eldest son of the third wife making her influence on him a great one since she isolated herself from everyone around her and focused on her appearance and graining the king’s favor, which lead to her pressuring Foxy to be the best! The king didn’t glance when he was born so it was his mom’s mission to make him the best by bringing him teachers and pushing him to the limits. When that didn’t gain the king’s attention she discarded him and focused on the next child, which made Foxy feel heartbroken and isolated, it was the queen who found him and Re-introduced to his older siblings and helped him build a relationship with them. Even though he was still a sneaky person at heart, Foxy had a kind heart, and A-LOT of mommy issues.

- When Pudding was born everyone was stunned by her third eye, they believed it was due to the king’s nature and was passed down to her. Growing up her older siblings sheltered her from the world, making sure that those who served her and met her were the kindest people and the smartest so they won’t comment on her eye, but those type of people still reached her and caused her to have the insecurity that her third eye was ugly. Her mother, the queen, and her siblings assured her that nothing was wrong with her, how she is a strong and beautiful person, but when word reached the king he asked for her, she thought maybe he would scold her or dare think maybe uplift her spirit, but the king only handed her a book and told her that inside it lays the spell to remove her third eye and make her “Normal” all she had to do was read the translate the book meaning. It was his way of testing if she was a prodigy or not, it broke her little heart, the queen was furious and so were her siblings, but pudding took the book tried to understand but only learned how to alter memories and not appearance and so despite her siblings supporting nature she still hid her third eye so she can face the public.

-Bentham walked the same bath as Smocker and Foxy combined, facing their father judgmental comments and their mother’s prideful nature, however, he didn’t allow them to break his nature. Since he was a child Bentham had strong opinions. He was drawn to his mother’s flamboyant nature but despised how she always talks badly about people and how she uses them, giving him a great since of loyalty. He didn’t allow his mother to isolate him from his older siblings in facts he was the one to seeked them out, and even though he can be too flamboyant for them they still loved and supported their little brother. One day Pudding was caught by the guards, she was trying to steal some more books from the king’s personal library, the king almost punished her severely but it was Bentham who stepped forward convincing everyone that he used his powers to take her image and steal from their father, the king knew he was lying but he didn’t care he just wanted to punish someone and calm his anger. His siblings cried and begged for him to be realized but to no avail, after that day Bentham was seen as one of the most loyal member of their family and someone to be trusted blindly.

- Hiyori was promised child since she was born. The day of her birth the king took her away to his study to conduct experiments to see if she was his awaited prodigy, much to everyone horror but to her mother’s great delight. However, that delight was short lived as few days later the princess was return by one of the maids, which means that like the other the king discarded her, being faced with such great disappointment her mother didn’t bare to face her so she sent her away to live with her grandparents. The queen and second wife tried to berate her but she held her ground, it wasn’t until years later when she was half dead that her mother asked for her daughter back. Hiyori was poised, elegant, and had a beautiful sense in music. She didn’t understand her siblings or the rivalry between them but she still tried to get close to them even though she still felt like an outcast sometime, which made her the least person Buggy felt threatened by and interacted with her from time to time.

- Perona was an odd child, even her mother felt scared by her. She would laugh to things that weren’t there, she favored everything that was strange or terrifying. It was the king who announced that might have connections to the undead when he caught her talking to the air at the age of 4, making him sign Moria as her personal teacher. It was the most affront he had put in a child, which made foxy and doffy to bully her. The rest of the siblings defended her even though she scared them sometimes. One of the powers that Perona never shared with anyone it her teacher was her ability to see and talk to ghosts, not the ones that she could conjure as they were just her own energy but actual ghosts of people who loved and died and weren’t able to move on. So she is always able to see the glimpse of the ghost of Buggy’s mother, following her child while repeating an apology. She never told Buggy because she was afraid that if the unstable ghost found out her ability to communicate with her she would start hunting her so Perona always makes sure to stay away from Buggy, not because of their family dynamic but mostly because of the ghost of his dead mother.

- When Bonny was born her siblings already had a somewhat healthy dynamic, her mother, the queen and the king’s other wife were friends who’d have daily tea together. She was never alone always playing with her brothers and sisters, but not all of them. She could always see from the distance the image of a boy with long blue hair like Vivi’s asking about him she realized it was her younger brother by a year. “Why doesn’t he come and play with us?” She asked one day while everyone was hanging out in the garden and their smiles turned to soar ones. Some looked nervous, scared or even angry. But they never answered her. Bonney watched and studied the pattern of when her younger would go and when they would meet she would always see him. Being surrounded by guards and maids as if it was his own parade, she never understood why, but whenever their eyes met Bonney would smile and then wave to him, the her mysterious younger brother looked startled when she did that the first time as if it was strange thing to do, when he would always return the wave. At some point her siblings would tell her to keep her distance from him, that their father would punish her if she got too close, she never understood, she couldn’t. Then one day she fill ill, an illness to severe that all the doctors and healers in the kingdom weren’t able to heal all. Until one night, while everyone was distracted or already mourning her near death, someone sneaked into her room and placed a hand or her head and heart, followed by a great glow. Bonney doesn’t remember much of that night, all she she knew is that she woke up the next day feeling better than ever, the blue scales on her body had fallen off and turned to sapphire gems. But the air around her was still tense, it wasn’t until years later that she finally learned of the story of what happened that night, how Buggy was the one who healed her using his “Devine power” as their father would say, but it drained him almost killing Jim and it made the king so angry that he almost killed Bonney but that to Marco’s quick thinking he pointed out that he death with mean that Buggy’s work was in vain. And so she loved to see another day, with the new goal of getting closer to her younger brother.

But it all becomes difficult after “The incident” which made Buggy hate all of them….

Next post will be Buggy’s POV on all of this, including “The incident “….

Ok so- what about a Royalty + Magic Shuggy AU? (+ Fem Buggy 'cause I love her)

In this AU, Shanks is a prince in the human world, while Buggy is a princesse in the magic world. They meet during their childhood while Buggy "accidentaly" (she just wanted to have a little adventure) goes to the human world, and the red head is enchanted by her uncommon blue hair and red nose. The two start to see each other regularly, but, they never tell each other they're royalty.

Shuggy were 7-8 when this happen, and their friendshipp ends up turning into a secret unofficial relatonship when they're 17. Everything is fine, until Shanks is named the King at the age of 18 and they fight (probably 'cause the richs initiated to intent to arrrange a marriage between Shanks and their daughters, and him kind of "don't do anything", while he does but don't have much/none result. Or Shanks ends up thinking she only wants money, because Buggy never accept shows up in front of the kingdom), leading to a break up.

Buggy is upset, really upset. She thinks about going back and telling the truth about her not being from his world, but then she see Shanks in a "date" with a girl (a daughter from some rich man), and thinks that actually he never loved her and just wanted the "emotion" from having a big secret. That now he is with someone he really loves (he isn't, he is regretting leting she go).

+10 years later, both were 29-30 and they never talk or even see each other again. Shanks only tells about Buggy to Benn and Mihawk (both don't believe it totally), while Buggy only tells her childhood best friends from the magic world, Alvida and Crocodile. She and Crocodile marry forced by their parents (but they don't mind. Yes, their marriage won't be with romantic love but at least they will be with someone they trusth).

Shanks, Benn and Mihawk, while going to a reunion in another kingdom, accidentaly go to the magic world after a accident in their ship. They are send to the king and queen, to be decided what do with them. Can think how much Shanks is surprised seeing the love of his life married?

Buggy decide to let them heal the injure before going back to the human world, and in the castle. She's confused, after more than 10 fucking years she's seeing her past lover?! And he's wanting to talk suddendly?!

Crocodile knows she never really moved on about Shanks, so even if this will make some fights with theirs parents, he's ready to divorce to her if she wants to marry Shanks (Crocodile may be serious but is a good friend).

Well, hope you enjoy the AU! I am a new anon and you can gave me any nickname you want ^^

I've never had an anon ask for a nickname themselves, so I will give you the very human name of: " J i m ", you are now human Jim, congrats!!! :))

Ok you covered a long timeline! I can tell you've thought about it for a bit.

Some of my thoughts if you don't mind...↓

I'd like to think that kid Buggy would escape to the human world as a break. A break from her duties and all the pampering. Yes, she lives being treated like a princess, but for a kid especially, it can be tiring. So maybe she travels with her own powers, or maybe a magic item. Though my favorite is if it's a type of tunnel or hole that she found, like in Alice in Wonderland or like in Coraline. The first time she crawled through with her big pompous dress and got it all dirty so she got scolded. From then on she learned to take a second pair of clothes before she crossed to the other world.

Shanks on the other hand, in my opinion, would be a very wild child. A bit like Luffy. So him stumbling onto the place where Buggy crosses from world to world seems very probable hahaha.

I think for Shanks it was love at first sight. He couldn't stop staring at her, he would think she was the most beautiful girl in the land. And the more he got to know her the deeper he fell in love with her. For Buggy it probably took at least a few months for her to develop a crush on him. After all, he's nice to her, he's fun and funny, he treats her like an equal and seems to like her too.

Shanks being with another girl is the ultimate betrayal. For Buggy, the one who has so many insecurities. Being replaced by the boy she gave her first kiss to? The one she wanted to get old with? Her best friend - the only one she thought could understand her, the only one she could trust?

When she marries Crocodile, she keeps complaining about Shanks. Always. Shanks this, Shanks that, even on their first wedding night - she flops onto the bed grumpily and starts talking about how she told explicitly that she didn't want that shade of red roses because they made her think of Shanks and the maids still put those exact ones. All Crocodile did was refrain from arguing and just thought about how good this marriage would be for the economy of both their kingdoms. With time they become good friends.

One day, Crocodile - in his study, hears the door slamming behind him to find his wife out of breath and red-faced. Before he could ask what was going on she told him "I- I just realized something... I..." she was ashamed and hesitant to say it "I think I still love him..."

Crocodile did his best not to roll his eyes.

She bites her lip and mutters another sentence that would make Crocodile's head spin "He uh... also he kinda followed me here... into our world..."

"He what!?" Crocodile dropped his inked-feather and almost fell off his chair.

Wait, We Have a Talking Cat?!? (Shanks x Fem Reader)

@kazenomegaminowanpisu ask for shanks x fem reader and that fem reader adopts a magical cat. I got my inspiration for my sassy magical cat from Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I wanted a really sassy cat and Salem was the sassiest! Well, I hope you like it and thanks for the request my friend!

Being the only girl on the Red Force could be lonely.  Yes, you were with Shanks.  He was the best boyfriend ever, but you know what they say.  Boys will be boys.  And boy, did those boys live by that phrase.  “Hey Shanks,” you asked one night while laying with him in bed, “can I get a cat?”

He looked over at you puzzled.  “I mean sure Y/N but why?”

You sighed, “I used to have a cat as a kid named Bingo and I loved that cat.  I think it would be fun, plus I’m the only girl so I’d be nice to have a companion that isn’t a grown man.”

Shanks looked at you.  His gray eyes looked into your (e/c) ones.  He caressed his lovely girlfriend’s right cheek with his hand. “Then on the next island you can go adopt a cat.  I’ll tell the boys now.  It’ll be like we have Uta back!”

“Are you comparing your own daughter to a cat?  Why?”

“Both can be adorable but will rip your head off when angry.”

“Oh god,” you laughed while rolling your eyes.

***

When you reached the next island, you headed straight for the shops, while Shanks and the rest of the crew headed to the bars.  You saw one little pet shop called “Ms. Crystal’s Pets and Magical Goods”.  You walked inside and it was not like any shop you had ever seen.  The walls were a dark maroon shade while all the lighting was fairy lights or pendants that looked like stars or moons.  The shelves were lined with not only pet toys and pet food, but also small little trinkets.  You approached the old orniet oak counter where a sweet looking old woman stood.  “Hello dear,” she said with a smile, “what can I help you with?”

You smiled back, “I’m looking for a cat.  Do you have any?”

“Of course.  And I know just the right one for you.”

She disappeared into the back, while you awaited your new little furry friend.

***

“So he lost his arm saving my namesake,” your cat Luffy asked you.  The sweet old lady at the pet store told you that this cat was special, it had magical powers.  Besides talking, he could also create objects out of thin air, which came in handy when you ram out of important materials and supplies on the ship.  Everyone knew about Luffy’s powers on the ship, everyone except Shanks.  All the other boys found out when Luffy accidentally started talking to them about giving him a pet.  Benn Beckham’s came when he asked him what Benn was short for: Benjamin, Bennet, Benedict, Bennifer.  Luffy talked in front of Shanks, but he was drunk and thought he was seeing things.

“He did lose it saving Luffy,” you replied, “Luffy is a devil fruit user and was drowning so Shanks went in and saved him, but a Sea King ate Shanks’ arm.”

“So my name sake is an idiot?”

“No, he was seven and was thrown into the water.”

Luffy laughed.  He was definitely a sassy cat, but you were just as sassy.  “Well, I’m hungry, so I’m getting a snack.  Do you want anything?  Tuna? Maybe a devil fruit like the other Luffy?  Then you can go for a swim.”

“I’d love one…wait, are you trying to kill me?  Never mind you can’t live without me,” the black cat said, putting emphasis on me.

“Tuna it is then.” you laughed walking out of the room to the kitchen.

A few moments later someone walked into yours and Shanks’ room.  Luffy spoke up, “I hope you brought me the nice tuna from the blue can, and not that garbage kind in the red one.”

There was no answer.  Luffy looked up and noticed a surprised Shanks, grey eyes wide open. 

“Oh crap,” the black cat said with his emerald green eyes wide in shock.

When you return from the kitchen you notice your main man and your magical cat staring at each other.

“When were you going to tell me our cat talked? Does the rest of the crew know?” Shanks asked, grabbing your shoulders, staring at you in complete disbelief.

“All the boys know. Luffy’s talked to you a lot, but you’ve been really drunk,” you laughed.

“I was also the one who created that necklace you bought Y/N for her birthday,” Luffy interrupted.  Shanks stared at the cat and then at you.

“He creates objects too!  Oh my god I love this cat. What else can you do Luffy?”

“That’s about it but don’t ask me to make you a new arm.  I like you, but I tried that once with my old owner.  Now she has an extra leg.”

“Awesome.”

“You’re not mad about the cat?” you asked.  You were scared that he would want you to get rid of the cat since you never told him.

He smashes his lips into yours.  “Of course not.  Even if Luffy wasn’t a cool magical cat and instead hated me, I’d let you keep him.”

You kissed him on the cheek and said, “I love you Shanks!  If you excuse me, I’m going to go get water.”

“Love you too,” he answered back.

He sat with Luffy for a few seconds in silence until his new favorite feline asked, “So Beckham, does Benn stand for Benjamin or Bennifer?”

Scenes and facts [Focused on the Magic!King’s Wives] I want to Add to This story idea, thanks to @tttooohappy who gave me some extra ideas and help…

- The Magic King has 13 children, 5 daughters and 8 sons.

-From the first Wife, AKA the queen, was the childhood friend of the Magic king, and when he became king he asked her to be by his side, her happiness was short lived as magic consumed the king and made him the mad tyrant he is now.

- The Queen gave birth to Marco, Vivi, Law, smoker and pudding.

-The second wife, the daughter of a known mage, married the king after he bribed the mad with secrets that ended up killing the old man after the daughter was married to the magic King.

-Due to her poor health and great mana within her children, she could only give birth to twins, Rosinante and Deflamingo.

- She became a victim of the Magic king’s belittling and insults. He mocked her for not giving him an heir even though she was the daughter of a powerful mag, that he should have known since her own Magic wasn’t as strong, and he even insults her for being a woman and yet only being able to give him one pair of twins.

- the Queen took her in and protected her for the long, she was the only person who can stand up to him and never get a backlash or death for it. Many say because deep down no matter how mad he had become the king still cares deeply for his first wife and so he stayed away from the second wife,

- Because none of the two first wives were able to give the magic King the heir he desires, he decided to look for a new wife and his advisers suggested the daughter of the highest noble family that I known to have long line of strong magic users.

- the third wife was a flamboyant woman, she didn’t care if the king gave her the cold shoulder or if she didn’t have the title of a queen, all she cared about was having the best jewels, dresses and having parties.

- The third wife gave the first and second wife the cold shoulder when they tried to befriend her, since she believed that they wanted to sabotage or destroy her, because that’s the type of environment she grow up in. And so took advantage of her statues and the king’s favor.

-the Third wife gave birth to foxy, Bentham, Hiyori, Perona, and Bonny. And with each pregnancy the king favored her but he discarded her after each birth, since she disappointed him each time, and after the birth of Bonny, the king ignored her completely.

-She held on to him and begged him to give her another chance that she can give him the child her desired, but that only angered the mad king and decided to punish her by taking away everything she held dear.

-The mad king took away her colorful dresses, jewelry, cut her off from her friends and family, forbade her from attending or hosting any parties. He even went as far as taking away all the luxuries in her room leaving her in an empty barren room with only one bed with one pillow and one blanket with a small closet that held seven plain dresses for each day or the week. Her make up was taken away. She was broken. Preferring to lock herself in her room away from everyone to die.

-it was the queen and the 2nd wife who were able to pull her out of her depressive state and bring back her belongings because her children were afraid for her and went to the queen for help. And slowly she trusted them and understood that they were not enemies but each other’s comfort and safe place.

-That was until the 4th wife was chosen. A Graduate from the highest magic universities in the kingdom. A gifted woman since birth, which helped her raise in the ranks faster than anyone around her in centuries. The king was invited to award her personally but after he gave her a medal for developing and new successful research the king asked her to marry him on the spot which made everyone feel dread because they knew what he wanted.

-She refused him, the 4th wife didn’t care if he was king or not she will not be forced into marrying him. He tried bribing her with fortunes but he returned them, he tried to give her part of his kingdom, she refused, he even gave her full access to his personal library which was full of secrets that the public doesn’t even know about. But she retorted that she will make her own discoveries.

-But in the end the mad king always gets what he wants, and he wants someone who is capable of giving him the perfect heir. And he won’t allow and stubborn woman to take that dream from him and so he threatens her with the lives of everyone she loves and cares about, that they will die a horrible death, which will only happen if she refused him again. And reluctantly she agreed to marry him and the Magic along was delighted.

-Unlike the 3rd wife, when the queen extended a hand of friendship to the new wife she accepted it. She found fighting is meaningless and even if the first 3 wives did have ill intentions towards her she knew she could take them all but to her relief they were kind to her.

- Children took a while to warm up to her especially after dealing with the 3rd wife’s antics towards them but they liked her, she gave them special attention when it came to their magic abilities. Taught them things that there father should be doing.

-It all came crashing down when the announcement of her pregnancy came. Everyone pitied her at first because like the first 3 wives she would probably be pampered during her pregnancy only to be discarded to the side after the child’s birth.

-But to everyone’s surprise the king was overjoyed when he met her after the news of her pregnancy and to be. He did pamper her but not only with luxuries but also intimate actions.

-Everyone watch in awe as the king hand feed the latest wife. He called her names of endearment, that she cringed at every time her by them. Even going as far as insisting on bathing her.

-When she finally had time to be alone with the women again she asked them if the king was as “tentative” to them during their pregnancy, but when they told her he wasn’t, dread filled her because they knew it meant that something was off if the tyrant was so soft.

-On the day of the birth the king didn’t allow any of the 3 women to be with her in the room. Especially since it was her first and the queen was there for his 2nd and 3rd wives, but for this one he went as far as threaten his queen with a curse if she continued to insist on coming in.

To Be Continued….
