#monkey d family

[mjrtaurus]

Modern AU

The Monkey D Family doesn’t celebrate Christmas per se, but they do celebrate the holiday season in their own way.

Use to, they would plan a trip to Peru and celebrate there, but recent years make the trip difficult to organize. So instead, they congregate at the family farm, which passed to Dragon once he left the Marine Corps.

It’s close quarters and it’s loud, obnoxiously so, but the food is good and there’s plenty of it to go around. The company is generally pretty good, save for the occasional awkward discussion.

Gift-giving is a very personalized thing. Crafts and treats pass hands more often than store bought things, but those happen too. They don’t discriminate. Especially when lego puts out a new piece in the insect collection and Luffy wants it more than life itself.

The only hard rule is that you don’t bring up politics because Garp and Dragon will get into it. Garp is good at picking at things without realizing it and that wears Dragon’s level-headed nature down like sandpaper.

Also, DO NOT spike the eggnog. Garp and Dragon will get white girl wasted on it in no time, and given the previous, that’s a very bad idea.

Urpi keeps the two of them in line, though. She will send both to their rooms. If Dragon was any pettier, he would tease his dad that the master bedroom is now his room, and Garp gets the guest room (formerly Dragon’s childhood bedroom).

Urpi and Dragon run the kitchen like a well oiled machine, and it’s better to steer clear if you don’t want to get subjected to the passive aggressive snappiness of a couple of perfectly in sync people getting their flow interrupted. Dadan guards the door from Garp and Luffy (and sometimes Sabo). Kuzan and Ace distract the two (sometimes three). Robin watches and enjoys the chaos. She sometimes even instigates it. Dadan allows it because seeing Garp get chased out of the kitchen by a wooden spoon wielding Urpi is funny. Dragon just bodily carries Luffy and/or Sabo out like he’s hauling a couple of wiggly hay bales.

Just a romance in the style of the Monkey D family...

[mothzan]

Babysitter au anyone ?

[pippin-pippout]

Looking back on it, the reveal that Luffy's ungodly unending appetite has actually nothing to do with his devil fruit powers, but is actually a family trait, is hilarious.

NOT EVEN BLOOD FAMILY, though that too.

First we get Ace, also eating like a mad man and then falling asleep directly in the middle of his food. And then I am pretty sure we get Garp eating like a mad man though maybe that was just in the live action, but he definitely also falls asleep randomly.

What is wrong with them???

[cryingpariah]

You think Garp took Dragon and Dadan to punch decommissioned ships to bits for training like he did Kuzan?

Dragon takes to it pretty well, learns where to focus his attacks to practically turn them into sawdust. Maybe repeats this exercise to master the Finger Pistol (and Tempest Kick, that man has legs for days, PLEASE let him use them), and then moving forward into developing the Dragon Claw Fist.

Meanwhile, Dadan is just “y’all are dumbasses” and picks up an axe and has never looked back since.

The air was filled with sickening crunches and metal crunching, the iron smell of blood hits you first. The battleship bags was a graveyard not only to the ships but to your fear and hesitation, that’s how Garp always described it. Out of all his children he would have never excepted Kuzan to take to it so willingly and readily but he was there bright and early ever since day. He and Dragon make their time there full of brotherly competition, lots of cheeky back and forths filled the once companionable silence. Dadan's choice was no surprise to Garp but he couldn’t do much to hide his snickers when the boys started calling her a cheater.

“I'LL CHEAT YOUR FACES DUMBASSES!”

“Hmm? What was that? I’m sorry, I don’t speak charlatan. What about you Dragon?”

Dragon quickly covered his bark of laughter with a cough. “Ku, she’s gonna kill you.”

“No, she’s gonna kill us! What happened to troop solidarity?”

Dadan whistles, making sure to grab her younger siblings attention fully so they can see her point not only the axe but a long broken sword, jagged and eerily sharp. They both slowly turn their heads back to the ships.

“….I may have miscalculated.”

“Well you were never good at math anyway.”

“Dude. Time and place.”

Its time for a Combo!

Please write something with only Garp, C, one character, 4th (au)

Glad i could ask, an Anon!

I can't say I've written for Garp before.. but I'll take the opportunity. I'm actually a bit of a Garp enjoyer

Content/Warnings: Family focused, Garp focused, this is basically just Garp thinking/talking to himself,

Garp wasn't sure if he'd done a good job raising his family.

Was a father ever truly sure? None of his family had followed in his footsteps to become marines as he'd hoped, causing their own unique types of trouble.

Ace was gone, but he'd died knowing he was loved, and he'd given Ace the chance to make a different choice. If he'd asked for help, Garp would've given it, but the kid was stubborn and he wasn't interested.

Luffy was an emperor of the sea, but the kid was following his dreams and wasn't that all that he could hope for? Every day he looked more like Dragon, acted more like Garp. He was growing into a fine young man with incredible strength just like Garp would expect from any member of the Monkey clan. He was proud, he thought. Very proud.

Dragon was a whole other beast. He was the most wanted criminal in the world, above any pirate. He wanted to topple the corrupt system that Garp had spent his life attempting to work around, using their systems to build a future he wanted for the people. Not Dragon. No, he'd decided the system would never be good enough, and he wanted real change. Garp admired his strength and his determination.

"That won't stop me from calling you stupid." Garp said with a scoff, though he was looking at their one family photo with a smile despite himself.

They were going to change the world. His boys. And when he died, maybe he'd go to hell for not joining them, but he'd never regret the path he'd chosen because it had sent them on their paths and he was sure his boys were exactly where they needed to be.

One day I'm gonna post about how most of the fandom misunderstands Monkey D. Garp and how they take a character who had to make nuanced and difficult decisions and simplify him into a flat one dimensional character that they don't like because they don't understand his decisions

[owl-it-here]

Random thought BUT All the characters I get fixed onto //so most of my all time favourite// would have an Absol or be avoided by one in the Pokemon word 🥲. I stan disasters or those who seek them 😅.

“no one is born in this world to be alone!”

[mjrtaurus]

No but Monkey D Mink ancestry would explain how Garp’s idea of parenting was to throw the kids into the jungle. It’s generational.

Could you imagine how brutal the child-rearing tactics of a Mink family would have to be to get by outside of Zou? With the World Government the way it is towards non-human sapient peoples? It would be survival of the fittest!

And what better training ground for a family of primate Minks than a jungle like on Dawn? By Monkey D. standards- even softened with time and human introduction into the family line- Garp gave Ace, Sabo, and Luffy (and Dragon) a stable childhood.

Furthermore, that balls to the wall craziness that has Garp flying fist-first into an island full of pirates while laughing his head off, that has Dragon turning away from and single-handedly raising an entire army against the ruling power of the world, that has Luffy playing fucking jump rope with a mythical zoan draconified Emperor of the Sea? That’s how their whole family survived.

They survived by being fucking insane, because the only other option was death or worse.

Sad Times Warning!

Ryu hates being a cyborg. He hates looking at his arm and seeing a plastic tube of Green Blood. He hates his Devil Fruit that does nothing but make him even more of a weapon. He hates that he was made just to spit on the values of a good man whose memories are coursing through his skull when they shouldn't be. His very existence made his (grand?)father quit the organization he dedicated his life to.

He sees himself as just a strange artificial creature without a name.

A weapon of war.

An abomination.

So naturally Ryu does what any distressed child does. He runs, or rather flies away, hoping to find some deserted island where he can spend the rest of his long-lived days not hurting anyone even by just looking like someone so infamous. Everything was better before he showed up.

There's just one problem. Nobody is going to let him get very far.

It made sense to him, after all a big part of his programming was making problems ‘disappear’. He was now a problem and therefore he too should disappear. He just…could never find an opening to do so.

Everytime he tried to flee outside, someone would be there, like they were waiting for him. His grandmother mother she was the one he usually ran into with all her gardening. He usually watched while mentally working up the courage to ask to help. It never came to him.

Sometimes Ryu would try to sneak out late at night but his grandfather father sir He’d be right around the corner, coaxing the Seraphim into joining him for a late night snack and a quick (very one sided) chat about the star. Ryu tried to once again build up his courage and try to join in. It still alluded him.

Then there were the times he’d get pretty far, his legs and Green Blood pumping as the path changed from forest floor to the sandy beaches that form the outskirts of the island and somehow, someway Dragon would be there. They don’t do much talking, they just perch on the sandy dunes and listen to waves crash against giant rocks. The air was thick with unspoken words, it seems neither of them are able to work up that much needed courage.
