Go to sleep, my little coconut-flavored ice cream. Or tomorrow you'll be tired, my little sweet sugar pancake.

Oh, thank you? The Chopper you sent is so cute!!! <3

WIP

Thank you for the tag @be-not-afraid-gg for Wip-Wednesday. Let it be Wip-Friday :)

Most works do not yet have a title, and the draft may be slightly rewritten.

Welcome under the cut!

Buggy x Reader

Buggy got sick

Reader: Could you please stop whining, Buggy! You're driving me crazy already, otherwise I'll pour soup into your bed

2. Draft name "In the morning - Reader" (another attempt to write nsfw, hehe)

3. Daddy Buggy!

He and the reader have a daughter who brings her boyfriend to the ship to meet her father.

-Why is he holding her hand? -Jesus, Buggy. She's 18! -And what? That doesn't give him the right to hold her hand!

4. Sad Buggy (reader decided to leave him).

I love you, my silly clown, but I want to make you sad :)

5. Buggy is looking for a reader (this idea came to me into the dream, where I was kidnapped and Jeff was looking for me).

6. Reader's birthday!

7. Buggy's birthday

8. Buggy is trying to safe a reader (another dream where Jeff almost asked Avengers to help him. haha)

Buggy Bear x Cathie-pie

The bowling fic (it will be posted soon) - long fic, about 5000 words

Buggy screwed up and Catherine demanded to take her to the bowling club

"What? Afraid I’ll ruin you? You chickened out?" Buggy cackled.  "I never chicken out, you brute. How many points do we play for?” She crossed her arms.

2. After the airport (nsfw)

Catherine decided to stay in Cairo because she understood that she fell in love with Buggy. Now you will see what I see in my head after chapter 10 of my original Egyptian series :) First sex, Buggy is confused and overthinking.

"Oh fuck!" Catherine quickly pulled out some tissues and wiped her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his chest. "My silly clown."  "I'm listening, my Cathie-pie." Buggy placed his chin on the top of her head.  "Take me home, please."

3. After the prison (fun).

Catherine takes Buggy, Cabaji and Mohji from the prison they ended up in after drinking and forces all three of them to clean their apartment.

"In my defense, I stole the cake for you, baby." He chuckled. “But this nice lady took it away.” He nodded towards the officer.  “Oh, thank you! You stole the fucking cake for me. You are so caring! Should this make me feel better, idiot?” 

4. Catherine is sad, because today is her parents' death anniversary (angst + fluff).

Buggy decided to stay with her to cheer her up

"Do you regret anything in life? For example, that you once didn’t leave one red-haired girl in the desert and in the end she stayed with you?" “No, I don’t regret this at all.” Buggy was silent for about five minutes, stroking her back. "Swimming." 

5. Catherine will help him with makeup (pure fluff and fun).

Catherine happily bounced her feet, squealed softly, and dipped the brush into the powder. Sticking out her tongue, she ran the brush over his face with concentration.  "That's it... Yes? Look!"  "Oh my god!" Buggy looked at himself in the mirror and saw his face covered in a thick layer of white powder. "What is it? Cotton candy, let me ask you, how old were you when you were wearing makeup?" 

6. One day or another he is gonna ask her the main question (this fic was written a long time ago). After the story with Larnie our blue-haired boy put this idea aside.

7. They are gonna meet her aunt (two chapters)

8. And they will also assemble the bed!

9. Buggy b-day

10. Their first date (after nsfw)

11. Catherine will meet Cabaji for the first time

12. Catherine will visit Buggy's show for the first time

There's a good chance we'll celebrate Buggy's birthday twice! With the reader and Catherine.

Also I want to try to write a fic, which was inspired by our text messages with @gingernut1314.

Sanji x Reader (pure fluff) are cooking dinner

No pressure tags: @tiredemomama and @operationroots

[firstdivisiongirl]

May I please have a One piece scenario of when the entire sunny crew discover that the platefuls of food that you (Sanji's teenage daughter) worked so hard on was missing and obviously the crew had been looking forward to eating the food that you made for dinner and it obviously wasn't going to happen because a certain someone ate it all and that certain someone happened to be Luffy and you were quick enough to catch him out for his food crime in regards of how he had a "I enjoyed the food" look on his face...you were not impressed by his actions considering that you spent hours making seventeen something dishes for everyone. You didn't care about a crime that you were planning on commiting on the captain in regards of him eating all the food. Luffy was facing death in the face big time and for the first time in years..Luffy felt as if he sensed danger. (A funny scenario to put it simply..it isn't serious..just a teenage girl getting angry with her captain because he ate all the food that she worked on for hours.)

No pairings.

Hi! You sure may. This was such a fun request. The moment I read this, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It took me awhile, but I think I came up with something you will hopefully like. Bon appetite (get it because it’s about cooking. I’m going to stop now.)

Which one of you ate the food?

You loved your crew.�� You practically grew up with them.  I mean how could you not, your dad was on the crew.  Being the daughter of Sanji, you gained a lot.  Especially when it comes to culinary skills.  You guys were celebrating a huge victory, so you asked your dad if you could cook for the banquet, by yourself.  He of course agreed.  He was such a proud papa about you doing this.  You spent hours, no days preparing everyone’s favorites: meat, cotton candy, curry, rice, etc.  You had a total of 17 dishes completed, you even made the favorite dishes of former crew member Vivi and Luffy’s “bestie” Law.  You walked away to get all dressed up for the party.

***

The alcohol was flowing and the fun commenced.  Everyone was happy and celebrating.  Zoro and your dad were fighting like usual, but they were at least happy.  “Okay everyone,” you announced, “I’m going to get all the food.  I hope you like it.”

“Of course we will Y/N,” Nami reassured.

You walked into the kitchen.  You noticed all of the plates and bowls that were previously piled high with food were none empty, not even a crumb left.  You let out a frustrated eardrum shattering scream.  Your father was the first to rush in.  “Y/N,” he asked concerned, “what happened?”  Then he notices the empty plates.  Both of you storm back onto the deck with everyone else.  Your right leg is on fire, which matched the fire in your eyes.  “Which one of you ate all the food? I swear whoever ate it, will be kicked into the ocean!”

Everyone turned and looked right at their food loving Captain.  Luffy looked so scared sitting on his favorite seat on the Sunny.  The kind of scared he felt when he unexpectedly saw his grandfather.  He was sweating profusely.  Like buckets worth of it.  You walked up to him.  “If it makes you feel better, it was amazing,” he told you.  He was hoping you would go easy on him and just smack him, but you lifted your right leg and kicked him into the ocean.  He went flying.  “Should we go, I don't know, save him?” Usoop questioned, packing dripping from each word.

“We should.  But don’t let him anywhere near the kitchen for about an hour.  Also Franky, can you put a lock on the kitchen door?”

“Sure thing kid.”

Zoro dived into the ocean and came back up with a drenched Luffy.  You walked back into the kitchen to work on cooking, laughing at how your dad and your favorite swordsman yelled at your dumb straw hat wearing captain.

When It's about the Past, I'm Fragile somehow and It's Not Easy to Bring Up

Summary: A remnant of his past, from which he had been on the run for years, had caught Sanji off guard in Water 7.

Notes: I was doing pretty fluff in here until now, right? Well, I am a sucker for angst so get yourself prepared. İt is only the beginning. And should I put a trigger warning for panic attacks? I don't know and it is only slightly described. I didn't have a panic attack before so I am not an expert but did some research but even that if there is something wrong please tell me I would like to correct my mistake and understand better.

///////

“Oi Marimo-kun you were here- What the hell are you wearing?”

Zoro turned to Sanji, who was calling out to him. When he asked what he was wearing, he realized that he had forgotten his shirt at that old woman.

“Just something.” “Interesting choice.” “None of your damn business!” “Hey, hey. Chopper and I bought supplies for dinner. Did you handle your sword?” “Not a chance.” “Then at least come to eat.”

Meanwhile, their little doctor came near Zoro and tugged on his trousers.

“Zoro. Zoro.” “Yes, Chopper?” “Sanji promised me to make a huge cotton candy today.” "Is that so? Good for you Chopper.”

Sanji was listening to them with a slight smile at this time. Nothing in the world could please him more than the praise of his food. Moreover, the compliments were coming from the pack member. Oh, wish every moment could be like this, but unfortunately, the real world was so dirty and happiness was sometimes too clean. Wish he hadn't heard those pups.

'Hey! Look, father had brought Sora, Warrior of the Sea from North Blue.' 'Is it the issue we haven't read, brother?' 'Yes, and Germa is scum as always.' ‘How can they really be this bad? Nobody likes Germa. Everything from Germa is disgusting.'

Even here? Even here? Traces of his past would be a nightmare everywhere? Even hearing their name after years… He wasn't the same anymore… Why was he afraid? He was afraid to even think of their name. No! No! He was not like them. He was not like them! Disgusting… scum… They were. Not Sanji… Not him… Wait a minute! Were his hands shaking? Why was he shaking? A cook's hands shouldn't tremble! Zeff had taught that. Steady Hands! He couldn't breathe! How could he be breathing? Someone! Someone, please… Please help!

Thanks to the pack bond, Zoro instantly realized that Sanji was in pain. Chopper also noticed that Sanji's scent had changed. Just as Zoro was about to move towards the cook, Chopper stopped him.

“Sanji? Sanji? Can you hear me?” "I-I can't b-breath..." “Okay. Now let's lean against the wall, shall we? Slowly."

Sanji did as he said. A little bit of relief. He slowly slid down. Chopper immediately joined him.

“Zoro! Disperse the crowd around!” "Okay."

Zoro dispersed the crowd and began to try to prevent other people from coming near the cook. Meanwhile, Chopper:

“Sanji can I touch you?” “Y-yea…”

Chopper started holding Sanji's hand after he got permission.

“Sanji, I'm going to ask you some questions now. You don't have to rush, okay?"

Sanji nodded instead of answering.

"Beautiful. How old are you Sanji?” “…19…” “Good. good. You're doing good Sanji. Now can you tell me the 5 things that you can see?” “Your fur… The package of food we bought… Dalgaras… Water… and… A stupid… A stupid Marimo…” “Very good Sanji. Now can you breathe with me more rhythmic?” They continued this way a little longer. Zoro watched them from afar. When Chopper is sure that Sanji has calmed down:

“Sanji do you know what happened to you?” “Yeah. A panic attack.” “So it is not your first time?” “I had them a lot when I was a pup.” “But not in close time?” “Not in four years nearly.” “Can you say if it was random or from a trigger?” “…” "Okay you don't have to but you should have told me Sanji. We are a crew. More importantly, pack. And I'm a doctor." “Sorry Chopper. It wasn't easy…” “Alright. I will let this go for once but we will have a test for a mental health check once we get our new ship. You will take it too.” “Okay Chopper.” “Now can you get up?” "Can't we just wait here a little bit more Chopper?" “I can carry you if you would give the permission.” “Oh… Marimo…” “So? Luffy is probably worried. We should get back quick.” “You felt it…” “Of course I did. Bond, remember?” “Sorry…” “You don't have to. Now, can I?” “Yeah. yeah. Chopper?” "I'll carry the stuff, Sanji, don't worry."

So Zoro Sanji started to lift it with one hand and carry him to where they were left off under Chopper's lead.

When they came back, they encountered a Luffy leaping toward them. With this, Zoro put Sanji to the ground. Still, he continued to support him with his arm.

“Sanji?!” “Luffy slow down! He is tired already!” “Sorry. Sorry! You okay Sanji?” “I will be captain. Just tired.” “You sure Sanji-kun? It was pretty intense.” “Oh, my sweet Nami-san is worried about me. I am so lucky.” “You are okay as it seems.” “Yup. When I cook I will be even better. So what do you want Captain?” “Shishishi. I wanna MEAT!” “Alright. But with lots of vegetables since you are still recovering.” “Okay…”

With their captain's light pout, Sanji finally laughed heartily and freed himself from Zoro's arm, and went into the kitchen. Cooking was the most comforting thing for him. So he didn't have to think about the event.

Maybe it wasn't him, but someone had a lot to think about. Although he was not aware of it… And Robin was seeing all these events very clearly. Really… What was she going to do with these young people? They were all different kinds of troublemakers from each other. Yet they were her troublemakers. They were her home. Her pack. And guess that was amazing, wasn't it?

Still, I think she would help a little. That's why she approached Zoro.

“You really care for him huh?” “From pack. Of course.” “Hm… And nothing more?” “What's it supposed to mean?” “I don't know. You tell me.” “I tell you nothing. Now call when dinner is ready. I will sleep.”

Yeap. Definitely brats. But her cute brats. She finally found a home. A pack…

[whirlybirdwhat]

The Doctor is in the House! (and very sick, please save the reindeer please)

For Anon who requested sick!Chopper!!! Enjoy! Short and sweet, just like Chopper!

Ao3!

-

Warning for non graphic sick stuff? just a cold and a high fever, nothing graphic but thought I should place a warning for anyone who needs it. Anyway, enjoy!

-

Chopper’s only ever been sick twice before – Reindeers, even devil fruit reindeers have good constitution after all.

The first time was when he was with Hiriluk, who did his best to bring down Chopper’s fever despite his unorthodox methods of medicine. Chopper doesn’t remember the medical side well, but he does remember arms rocking him and a voice, caring and strong, speaking to him about his future and how proud the voice was of him.

It’s a fond memory, as is the home-made stew Hiriluk made for him.

The second time was with Kureha, after Hiriluk had died. It was a different experience, with medicine harshly shoved down his throat and notes taken on the properties of medicine on animal devil fruit users.

Still, he knows the hand that brushed through his fur in the midst of his fever was no hallucination.

Now, he’s on the Thousand Sunny, with a sniffy nose and no doctor to nurse him back to health. His head is pounding and he stumbles a little bit as he makes his way out of the men’s cabin and into the galley, so that he can reach the infirmary.

He wants to sleep so bad – is this what Luffy and Zoro and all of them feel during their post battle fevers, after working so hard and just wanting to collapse?

Chopper hates it, and vows to be a little more sympathetic to his patients (a hard task when most of them refuse to sit down and heal and prefer to take off their bandages, Zoro,)

The worst part is, he doesn’t know the cause. Is it a regular sickness, or did he eat something band? And Infected wound? Sea stone infection? A horrible disease entering its final stages?

In the midst of his worries, Chopper doesn’t notice Sanji eyeing him from behind the counter.

“Chopper?” He calls, setting down the ladle in his hand and attracting Robin’s attention as well who is reading a book in the corner, “You alright?”

Chopper turns on his hooves, stumbling ever so slightly, and gives a massive sniff. “Yeah.” Sniff. “I’m alright, just a bit sick I think.”

Robin sets down her book and gives a sympathetic noise. “Oh, Chopper – “She stands and summons several arms, helping Chopper stay steady. He watches with a dim sort of haze as Robin crouches in front him, Sanji standing over her shoulder, and reaches out her real arm and checks Chopper’s forehead. Another sound rips out of her throat and she picks him up, using extra arms to support his weight more evenly. “You’re burning up. Let’s get you to the infirmary – Sanji, can you make something that’s easy on the stomach.”

“OF COURSE, ROBIN-DEAR! I’ll the other idiots and Nami what’s going on too. Chopper- “He directs the last part at the reindeer, holding his cigarette far away from him. “Rest up okay?”

“But I’m the – “

“Doctor, we know. But we’re your crew, yeah? Let us help.”

Chopper’s not sure if he nods or shakes his head as he gives into sleep a moment later, but he is sure that the warmth that blossoms in his chest isn’t from his fever.

-

He wakes up to Arguing and a rubber hand poking his cheek.

“Chopper!” Luffy cries when he sees Chopper blink his eyes open, “I brought cotton candy! Now you can get better!”

Usopp, currently holding their captain and all his snaking, rubber limbs back, growls in turn. “That’s not how this works! Chopper’s not like you or Zoro! Food doesn’t make him magically get better! Or booze for that matter!”

“Can I still have some though?” He sits up and asks plainly, eyeing the fluffy pink goodness.

Usopp falters in his hesitation – out of the entire crew, he might know the best about caring for an illness next to Chopper, and he knows that the walking cavity won’t be good for Chopper but-

Adorable Reindeer eyes.

Ugh.

“After you eat this soup, all right? Sanji made it nice and sweet, just for you, and Nami made some juice too – If you can keep it down you can have some Cotton Candy,” Usopp bargains.

Chopper smiles, and readily scarfs down the delicious meal Sanji made so he can have some of that even more delicious cotton candy. Half way through, however, he starts into a sneezing fit, and the only reason the bowl of soup isn’t everywhere on the ground is because Luffy was able to catch it.

Chopper looks up, and realizes he actually has to look down. “Oh,” He sniffles, tears in his eyes. He’s in a different form now. He hasn’t had this bad a control on his fruit in a long time.

Usopp panics and begins to rub his back. “Hey, it's alright Chopper, it’ll all be over soon! Just wait – actually, while you’re up, why don’t you take some medicine with your juice? We didn’t know which ones would work so you’re going to have to pick it yourself…”

Luffy has quietly slunk to Chopper’s other side and started scratching his fur. It’s nice, Chopper notes, as he dimly says what medicines to get and where to get them to Usopp.

He swallows them, and the juice made from Nami’s own tangerines, and feels warm about how much his crew loves him. He falls asleep with Cotton Candy in his hand and his head, now in Brain Point, on Luffy’s shoulder.

-

He wakes up again with Zoro and Brook in the room. Chopper knows it’s going to be a theme today. Zoro has replaced Luffy as a pillow, and Brook is playing a slow, soft, lullaby.

Chopper recognizes it as one distinct to the winter islands at the beginning of the Grand Line.

It feels a little bit like home, and a little bit like Cherry Blossoms.

He smiles and sniffs, surprisingly with a clear nose, and alerting his crewmates to his presence.

“Yohohoho!” Brook calls as he sidles near the bed. Zoro has cracked an eye open, and is looking down at Chopper with the soft expression he gets only with the Straw Hats.

“Hey,” Zoro says, “You seem to sound better. No more sneezes, right? You’re a great doctor even when you’re the patient.”

“You bastard!” Chopper calls, voice hoarse but happy despite his words. “That doesn’t make me feel better or anything!” It absolutely does.  “How long have I been out?”

“About a day – you woke up a couple of times but you were pretty out of it. You called Franky a hippopotamus and everything.” Zoro smirks.

“I WHAT?!”

“Yohoho! You did! It was quite funny!”

Chopper covers his face with his hands, but can’t help but laugh with his crew.

It’s a different experience being sick with them, but with gifts of cotton candy and sweet soup and tangerines and music and nap partners and friends who will laugh despite their doctor being out – well.

Chopper doesn’t mind that much.

(Though he would prefer to not be sick, thank you very much.)

[jollyinha]

Here's my gift to @junonboi for the @opvalentines exchange: Zoro and Chopper talk about their timeskip training!!! I'm sorry that's it's a bit too short... Ngl tho, I had plenty of fun writing it! I really hope you enjoy it! ♡♡♡♡

---------------------------

Meeting the crew again after two years of training surely was exciting for Chopper... But he couldn't deny that it was also nerve-wracking. How different were his crewmates? What if some of them didn't wanted to travel anymore after all this time? All these questions were spinning in the reindeer's head when he stepped on Sabaody...

Then, he got tricked by the fake strawhats. Sure, it was all in the past, but he still sighed in frustration everytime he remembered about them! How did he fell for such obvious lies?! Gosh! The joy of seeing Nami and Usopp again, however, made it all worth it in the end.

Once they were on Sunny's deck, Chopper had to fight the urge to joyfully hug the mast. It felt so good to be back! And very surreal too... It had been so long since they were all together! Robin, Franky (He looked so cool!), Nami, Usopp... And then, Luffy, Brook, Sanji and Zo-What the heck happened to Zoro?!

It was such a long scar! Did he lost his eyesight? How did that happened? His doctor instincts told him to check it out immediately. Ocular injuries can be tricky to deal with, after all! But he didn't had time to confront Zoro about it right away, thanks to the Marine's attack... And also because Sanji began to bleed to death, and that definitely was a more urgent issue. That extreme nosebleed was, by far, the silliest medical case he ever had to solve (That includes the time Usopp got his nose stuck in a mouse trap. Long story). It could've been worse, though. Sanji usually isn't the kind of patient that gives Chopper too much trouble...

Unlike a certain swordsman.

After Sanji was properly scolded and taken care of, Chopper took his medical briefcase, took a deep breath and walked towards Zoro. He was laying down next to the stairs, but, surprisingly, he wasn't napping. Instead, he was looking at the sea, which completely surrounded the ship as they dived towards Fishmen Island. It was a beautiful (and somewhat scary) sight.

Zoro eventually lowered his head to look at Chopper, and while the doctor's company was very appreciated, his briefcase definitely wasn't. It usually meant that he was about to get an ear pull because he "didn't cared enough about his health" and "should avoid trouble instead of causing it". His scarred eye throbbed slightly, like it knew what he was about to hear. Zoro tried to make small talk, even though he hated it:

"Hey, Chopper. What are you up to?"

"Oh, I was working on Sanji's... Uh... Injury. He's stable now, thankfully!"

"I forgot about nosebleed boy... You should keep an eye on him. I bet that he will do it again, that jerk."

"I created a shock therapy for him, actually! If it works out, he won't have nosebleeds anymore."

"A shock thera-You know what, nevermind, I don't want to know."

"Yeah, it's weird." Chopper giggled. "So... Can I ask you something?"

Zoro was quiet for a few seconds before answering.

"Sure."

"What happened to your eye?"

More silence followed up. A whale's distant cry could be heard, muffled by the sea's sounds. Chopper swallowed hard. What if something really bad caused that wound...? The reindeer's eyes slightly widened up when Zoro opened his mouth to answer... And...

"What eye?"

"Oi, don't play dumb with me! I'm seeing the scar right there!"

"Alright, alright." He sighed. "I'll tell you. Just because you're the doctor."

Chopper sat on the grass next to the swordsman, blinking curiously. It was hard to say no to those big eyes...

"When Kuma... Launched me, or whatever the hell he did... I fell on an island called Kuragaina. You have heard about Hawk Eyes, haven't you?"

"The swordsman you want to defeat? Yeah, I did..."

Chopper's gaze went to the long scar on Zoro's chest. He wasn't there to see it, but he knew that the best swordsman ever was the one who did it. All because Zoro refused to have a scar on his back...

"I met him there."

"What?! Seriously?! Did... Did he attacked you? That's why you lost your eye?"

"Well, yeah, he was the one who did it. But... He didn't exactly attacked me. Not how you're imagining it, at least. When I understood the message Luffy left for us... I asked him to train me. And he accepted it."

Chopper slightly tilted his head to the side.

"He said yes.. Even though you want to defeat him?"

"Yeah... Because I begged."

"You... You begged?"

In Chopper's head, "Zoro" and "begging" were words that didn't belonged together, especially if it was to Dracule Mihawk. He was such a prideful person... It has hard to imagine him bowing down to someone else.

But...

In the beginning, he said "If it helps Luffy, I can become a real monster". And that still was the truth. As long as he could help Luffy, he didn't cared about what people would think about him. Aiding Luffy was his utmost priority.

He wouldn't bow down to anyone... Unless it was for Luffy.

"... I understand."

"Do you?"

Chopper nodded firmly.

"When I ate my devil fruit... I used to walk to the village in my human form. So I could try to make friends. People saw me as a monster, and I really hated it... But now I don't mind being a monster. I want to be a monster, actually! Because it means that I'll be powerful enough to help Luffy. Even though it might've been embarrassing, you begged him to train you because of Luffy. Right?"

Zoro smirked, giving him a heavy pat on the head.

"You're really growing up to be a man, aren't you?"

"H-hey, stop complimenting me! I don't need you to be proud of me or anything like that..." He pushed Zoro's hand away, trying to hide the smile on his face.

"How about you? How did you spent these two years?"

Chopper's eye lightened up as he told all of his adventures on the Torino Kingdom. The library, the giant bird and its baby chick, how the island's inhabitants tried to eat him at first... And, of course, how much he had learned on these last years.

The conversation kept going on for a few minutes, until it was interrupted by Luffy's voice in the distance:

"Hey, guys! It's lunchtime! C'mon!"

"Huh. I thought the shitty cook was passed out." Zoro raised an eyebrow.

"He was...?"

"Luffy did had a backpack when I first saw him, though. He probably brought food."

"Ooooh! I wonder if he brought cotton candy... The one that they sell in Sabaody's park is really tasty!"

"Let's find out."

Zoro quickly got up and went towards the middle of the deck where the crew was gathering. Grabbing his doctor briefcase, Chopper ran right behind him... Until he stopped on his tracks.

He forgot why he had brought his doctor briefcase on the first place.

"Zoro! Your eye! Were you trying to distract me?! You're not going to run away!"

Examination (Chapter 4 of Heartstealers Get Jealous, Too)

“Ummm, Tora-o-kun, you know you don’t have to be here, right?”

Glowering, Law crossed his arms as he sat on Chopper’s desk. Everything in the infirmary was built to accommodate the smaller doctor’s size, making the Surgeon of Death appear even more lanky and intimidating. “I’m just making sure Tony-ya does his job right.”

The small reindeer looked offended while Nami frowned. “Ok, first of all, I just rolled my ankle, so I’m pretty sure a doctor isn’t even necessary, but secondly, Chopper’s been treating me literally since I met him. I think he can be trusted with my health.”

“You don’t know it’s just a rolled ankle because you’re not a doctor, Nami-ya. There could be hairline fractures neither of you can feel through the swelling. It’s better to let me cut the leg open so I can get a direct look at the bone. It’s much easier to see if anything’s broken when there’s no skin or muscle in the way.” He scoffed at their twin looks of horror. It was a simple, efficient procedure he did on his own crew all the time. Honestly, they were acting like he suggested amputation.

“That is completely unnecessary!” Chopper cried. “I don’t care if your powers make it easier; I can check Nami’s leg without cutting it open!”

“See? Chopper knows what he’s talking about! Now shoo!”

“And what if I’m right and there is a break? You could be walking across the deck, every step putting more and more pressure on those minuscule cracks in your bone, when suddenly your femur shatters underneath you. Tony-ya’s talented in pharmacology and internal medicine, but I doubt he has the surgical skills to repair something like that. Plus, I’ve been studying medicine for far longer. I should be the one examining you.”

Brown eyes narrowed at his flippant remarks. “Yeah, well, your bedside manner sucks compared to his.”

“You’ve never complained about it before,” he replied with a sultry smile. “Last time I even wore the lab coat with no shirt like you asked; isn’t that putting my patient’s needs first?”

Despite the blush staining her cheeks, she stood her ground. She was not going to let him seduce her to his side. Not this time, at least. “Chopper is more than capable of taking care of me without you hovering like some ominous specter of doom. Right, Chopper?”

Looking nervously between the two, the blue-nosed doctor squeaked, “Yes?”

“Checking for breaks and sprains require skilled hands, not hooves. He could easily cause more harm than good.”

This time, the smaller doctor glared, though it wouldn’t have much effect on a skittish mouse, much less the jaded pirate captain. “I’m perfectly proficient in this form, but if you’re that worried…” He shifted into his more human-like form, holding up his furry hands and wiggling his fingers.

Law just scoffed distastefully at his larger, burlier physique. “Color me unimpressed. Now you’re more likely to crush her ankle than examine it. Slender, more fragile bones like Nami-ya’s require a delicate touch.”

“You sound a lot like Sanji right now. Did the two of you switch bodies?”

“And give him the opportunity to feel up my woman? I’d kill him at the mere suggestion. Clearly, your logic and reasoning skills need work, too. Unless you’re delirious from the heat? If that’s the case, go lay down while I check on Nami-ya’s ankle. I can’t in good conscience allow her to be treated by someone not at peak mental capacity.”

“Says the insomniac,” Chopper grumbled under his breath, cowering as the full force of Law’s piercing glare fell on him.

“Says the doctor who’s been practicing medicine longer than you’ve been alive.”

“Ok, seriously, quit being an ass to Chopper,” Nami snapped. She really should have stepped in sooner, but she was hoping Law would come to his senses, especially since Chopper had actually managed to stand up for himself. “He’s an excellent doctor and my friend, and I won’t have you belittling him like this.”

“Shut up! I don’t need your help!” the reindeer replied even as he beamed at her praise.

Gold eyes rolled up to the ceiling in exasperation. “Fine, he’s not a bad doctor, but I’m still better.”

Stubbornly crossing her arms, she said, “Well, Chopper’s more cuddly than you are.”

“The hell does that have to do with anything?”

“Being more cuddly and approachable means that people actually want to be under his care. Compare a cute, fuzzy reindeer to a creepy insomniac with ‘DEATH’ tattooed on his fingers who insists on cutting people open at the drop of a hat, and which one do you think I’d rather have treating my injuries?” she huffed.

Though he should be pissed, Law couldn’t help but smirk seductively. She was damn cute when she back-talked him, tempting him to pin her down and tease her until she submitted. Getting up from the desk, he crossed the room in a few easy strides, tilting her chin up so she had no choice but to meet his hungry gaze. “Bet he can’t kiss them better like I can.”

“I’ve never understood that,” Chopper cut in, scratching his chin as he shifted back down into his default form. “It’s a placebo effect at best, and mainly just risks exposing the wound to the bacteria in your mouth.”

Annoyed, Law glowered at him. He really did respect his fellow doctor, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t ticking him off. Had it been Zoro or Sanji that had been hurt, he’d be giving Chopper his full support, perhaps even tossing in a few threats to better convince them to comply to the reindeer’s commands. But this was Nami; when it came to the welfare of the few people he cared about, Law was a total control-freak. Unless he was the one taking care of them, his thoughts would spiral with all the worst-case scenarios, making him an anxious, irritable pain in the ass. The Surgeon of Death knew it was completely irrational, but his woman was injured, and the cotton candy lover was preventing him from checking her over and assuring his restless mind that she was fine. “Well, if you don’t know that, I’m not sure you’re qualified to examine Nami-ya,” he sneered petulantly. “You do realize that if your prognosis is wrong and she isn’t given proper treatment, she could end up crippled? And if that happens, she’ll be easy pickings for the Marines or Kaidou’s men if she’s attacked. Are you willing to risk that, Tony-ya?”

The blue-nosed doctor stared at the floor, unable to come up with a good response to the blunt, cutting remarks. Of course he knew the risks of a misdiagnosis; it was a fear that haunted him every time he had to patch up or examine someone. The wrong dosage of medicine administered, a missed crack in the bone, mistaking a poisonous mushroom for one that could cure all diseases; it could all spell doom for his precious nakama.

Cold, earnest fury pumped through Nami’s veins at Chopper’s defeated expression. She knew Law was a massive worrywart and wasn’t intentionally trying to hurt her friend, but one more word out of him and she’d throw him straight into the sea. How could anyone possibly pick on such a cute little creature, especially when he was just trying to help?

Resisting the urge to cuddle the dejected reindeer and punch her lover, she instead forced a gentle smile towards the smaller doctor. “Chopper, would you be a dear and bring me my slippers from my cabin? I probably shouldn’t walk around in my high heels for a bit, no matter the prognosis.”

Despite knowing this was just an excuse to get him out of the room so Nami could have a private word with her overbearing lover, Chopper agreed, more than happy to put some distance between him and Law so he could regroup. The last thing he needed was to show weakness in front of the skilled surgeon; that would only cast further doubt on his skills.

The moment the reindeer was out of the room, Nami turned and grabbed her lover’s shirt, yanking him down so he was inches from her face. “Law,” she whispered harshly, “you will be nice to Chopper! Even if he hadn’t saved the life of every member of this crew at least once, that is no way to talk to someone who’s been screwing up the courage to ask you for some mentorship.”

Guilt mixed with surprise in the surgeon’s expression. “He has?”

“Yes! He’s a great doctor, but he’s young and hasn’t had a proper mentor since he left Drum Island. If he plans on accomplishing his dream, he has to learn as much as possible about every type of medicine, and why not learn from the best? Hell, if he plans on keeping the idiots on this crew alive, he needs to improve his surgical skills! I even told him you’d be willing to do it, or at least let him sit in on some of your surgeries, but you being such an ass is completely killing his confidence!”

“I’m sorry.”

Her eyes narrowed further, though her anger seemed to diminish. “Don’t apologize to me; apologize to Chopper, or else I’m going to tell Zoro and Luffy you’ve been bullying him. Or worse; Robin.”

Law shuddered. Normally, he wouldn’t consider her sicing her crew on him much of a threat, though he knew for a fact that Luffy was scarily protective of his friends, and the swordsman seemed to have a soft spot for the reindeer. He could probably handle the pair if they decided to attack him. Robin however…

Shoulders slumping, he rested his forehead against her bright orange hair, inhaling the mikan scent that never failed to calm him. Loathe as he was to admit it, Nami was right; he was being an ass, and Chopper deserved his respect as a fellow doctor. “Alright, I will, and he’s more than welcome to shadow me on some examinations and surgeries.”

The gentle peck she rewarded him with made his lips turn up in a slight smile. “You’re such a softie, Tora-o-kun. I didn’t even have to dress up as a nurse to convince you.”

Eyes snapping open, he stared at her, mouth agape. “Wait, I could have gotten that out of the deal? I take it back; no mentorship unless I get my naughty nurse.”

Smiling like the cat that ate the canary, she giggled, “Too late; you already gave your word.” She was glad she didn’t have to give up that particular bargaining chip; Law was a lot easier to manipulate once she found out he was really into the sexy nurse fantasy. He’d even bought her the uniform, but she was saving it for a special occasion; most likely as a reward for saving her life, or possibly getting her an entire shipload of treasure.

Growling, his tattooed hand teasingly ran up and down her thigh. “That’s hardly fair; I wear the lab coat for you all the time.”

“That’s because if someone walks in on you in the coat, no one bats an eye. I get caught in that uniform and everyone knows what kind of kinky shit you’re into.”

“Then I guess we’ll just have to do it somewhere we won’t get caught.”

Mirroring his devilish grin, she slowly nibbled along the sharp line of his jaw. “Or you’re going to have to do something to earn it.”

“Mentoring Tony-ya isn’t enough?”

“Not by a long shot.”

Before Law could be tempted to “convince” her, there was a timid knock at the door, coaxing the couple to break away. The last thing they needed was for Chopper to see anything inappropriate in his own infirmary. The door opened, the young doctor looking through to check it was safe, though notably he was peeking the wrong way.

Assured he wasn’t walking in on one of the couple’s make-out sessions, the small doctor walked in, not making eye contact with the tattooed surgeon as he handed Nami her fuzzy bedroom slippers.

Guilt gnawed at Law’s stomach. Nami was right; he shouldn’t be so hard on Chopper. Not just so Robin wouldn’t tear him to pieces; the blue nosed reindeer had the potential to revolutionize medicine, and it would be a shame if all that was wasted because he didn’t have the right training.

And damn it, he looked like a miserable stuffed animal when he was sad. Even Law wasn’t that heartless.

“Tony-ya?”

“Yeah?”

Awkwardly, he rubbed the back of his neck. “Go ahead and check Nami-ya’s ankle. You’re right; surgery is completely superfluous unless you actually feel a break. Even then, it’s your call if she needs it. This is your infirmary, so I should respect your authority. Mugiwara-ya wouldn’t have asked you to join his crew if your skills weren’t up to scratch.”

Though the cloud of misery that hovered over his head started to dissipate, Chopper’s smile was more self-deprecating than anything else. “Luffy only asked me to join because I’m a monster, and Sanji thought I was emergency food.”

Ok, Law was going to have a serious talk with the cook later. For starters, if you’re going to eat your crew, doctors and navigators were, on principle, off-limits, even if they weren’t human. Better to start with less essential positions. “If Black Leg-ya even thinks about cooking you, I’ll transplant his mind into the ugliest person I can find. I trust you with Nami’s care. You’re a great doctor; the fact that Zoro-ya is still alive is a testament to that.”

“Shut up! An idiot like you doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” Chopper gushed, dancing about as stars twinkled in his eyes.

“Then I suppose you wouldn’t want to assist me in surgery sometime?” he asked with a smirk, chuckling when Nami smacked his leg.

“What? No! I mean, yes! I’d love to assist you! I mean, if that’s ok…” he replied anxiously.

“Excellent. Of course, we’ll need a patient. Perhaps we’ll get lucky and Zoro-ya and Black Leg-ya will injure themselves in their next argument.”

“That’s not lucky!”

“Then we’ll just break into a hospital on the next island we land on and practice on the patients there.”

“That’s insane!”

He shrugged. “I do it all the time. Honestly, it works out for everyone; the hospital gets free surgeries, the patients get excellent treatment, I get extra practice while restocking my supplies, and my crew isn’t constantly acting as my guinea pigs. Marine bases are the best, though; they’ve got the most advanced medical equipment to play with, plus plenty of wounded men in need of fixing up whose deaths you won’t feel guilty over if something goes wrong.”

Chopper looked at Nami in horror. “He’s serious, isn’t he?”

Rubbing her temples and wondering if she should have encouraged her friend to find a less sadistic mentor, she sighed, “As the plague.”

[linawritesfanficandmore]

He was such a lucky man

On the sixth day of their arrival on the island, Nami was on the ship as she had planned. When she woke up and went to the kitchen to make herself some tea, she saw Robin. “Robin! I didn't expect to see you here. Good morning." "Good morning. I discovered interesting books on the island. I thought I'd read them here, but also be another pair of eyes for the ship because our captain landed in the city again this morning after yesterday.” “That stupid. I swear he has no control over himself.” Robin chuckled lightly. "But isn't that what makes him?" "I think you are right. Is the tea ready? Maybe I'll accompany you for the first cup." "I would love to. I also prepared breakfast. Come on." They went to the table together. “Strange…” Nami whispered. "What is strange?" “Sanji-kun still hasn't returned. I thought he would be back by now. Moreover, I have never met him in the city. I was going to tell him to go together on the first day, but he was already gone.” "Maybe he didn't want to bother you." “I'm an alpha too, Robin. I know well what's going on. I would understand.” “Hmmm…” Both were silent for a while. Then suddenly: "Hey Robin?" "Yup?" "Do you know something I don't know about Sanji-kun?" "Like what?" "I said something I don't know!" "It's not my place to say anything about Cook-san, Navigator-san." "BUT!!!" She stood up shouting. Robin caught it just as one of the plates was about to fall to the floor as it shook the table. "Be careful. Cook-san values everything from his kitchen. If you were the one who broke it, he wouldn't be angry with you, but he would obviously be upset." "Right. Sorry, Robin. I've been pretty nervous lately." "Do you want to talk about it?" “Where should I begin?” While the two women were talking, a deer and a swordsman were walking together at one corner of the city. When Chopper saw cotton candy, he asked Zoro to buy it for him, and Zoro did too. They went to the park so that he could eat his food. Although Zoro didn't say it, he had a soft spot for Chopper. “Hey, Zoro?” “What is it, Chopper?” “Do you think Sanji doesn't trust me?” "HA?!! Where did this come from?" “Because I control the suppressants of you, Nami and Luffy, or the Ruts and heats that you will spend without them as the ship's doctor, but Sanji hasn't even stopped by me for this. I didn't even know he was going to enter Rut until he got to the island.” “Don't think too much, Chopper.” "But Zoro-" “Shhh! He's just a thick head. I'm sure he didn't want to cause any trouble for you. When he sees that what he is doing is a problem, he will come on his own.” "Really?" "Really. So don't worry." “Zoro is the best. Thank you, Zoro.” Chopper gave him a big hug. The swordsman also laughed and patted his head. At the same time, their captain was in an unexpected place and waiting for someone.

*** “Here are your knives, sir. As promised, we took very good care of them. No harm was done.” Sanji checked anyway. Indeed, the knives were shining like the day he left them here. “Thank you very much, Elisa-chan. For my last process?" “This way, please.” After completing the operations together: "We'll wait again, sir. Thank you for choosing us." “That thank you is mine Elisa-chan. You took such good care of me.” "This is our job. Have a good journey." “Maybe we'll meet again one day, Elisa-chan. Goodbye." It took a little longer as the Heat took place without the first suppressant in a long time. Still, it wasn't painful, he had a really comfortable heat. Now back to Merry--- “Good morning Sanji!” The world just had stopped. “LUFFY!!!” “Shishishi. Silly Sanji. Let's go back to Merry together. I was waiting for you." As he was about to turn away and go, Sanji grabbed his arm and stopped him. “WAIT LITTLE LUFFY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!! HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!! AND NOT AS YOU THINK!” "As I thought?" “So you know… my… not leaving the Omega hotel…” “SANJI!!!” "WHAT?!!" “You don't need to lie to me. I've known you're an omega from the first moment you boarded the ship." What? How could he know? How could he know, with all the scent blockers and fake pheromones? "How?" “Since I was born, my sense of smell is very good.” Was he really an animal? But even Chopper didn't understand. "Aren't you angry with me?" “Why would I be angry?” "I've been lying to the crew this whole time." “You never said you were an alpha.” "Yes, but that's how I acted." “How does an alpha behave?” “You know… Strong…” “Do you have to be alpha to be strong? Look at me I'm an omega and I'm strong. Nami is an alpha but weak in fights and you are an omega and one of the strongest people I have ever seen.” “Luffy… But when others called me alpha, I didn't deny it. I lied." “Hiding the truth and lying are two different things, Sanji. Some facts must be hidden. I don't mind being an omega, but I still don't come out and tell my enemies I'm an omega. Unless they figure it out themselves…” “Luffy…” “I won't say anything until the day you are ready to tell the crew. I came here today because I knew you'd be tired. I know how tiring the heats are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come. Don't worry Sanji. Your secret is safe with me.” Ah… Sanji was such a lucky man. He had a great captain. “Thanks, Luffy.” “No problem Sanji, but I have one condition?” “A condition? Just a while ago-" "You're going to cook me a lot of meat when we get back." What was he waiting for? It was Luffy. “Of course, Captain. Then let's go quickly." “Yoshaaaa!!! I'll finally be able to eat Sanji's food." They went to the ship laughing together. Indeed, they were getting closer and closer.

Eliminate Doubts By Talking

“Do you understand Sanji? No more using such a strong suppressant. Just my suggestions. At the same time, you should reduce the use of scent blockers and fake pheromones. When you are with us, be as natural as possible so that your body does not develop wrong reactions. Promise?" “I promise, Chopper. This is my fourth promise. Can I go now? I've been here for about two hours." “You wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't kept a secret from your doctor. You have no right to complain." “I have to prepare dinner, Chopper. I'll also make cotton candy for you. After all, you are the best doctor in the world.” Hearing both the cotton candy and the compliment, the cute reindeer began to dance, swaying from side to side. “It wouldn't make me happy if you complimented me, you je- Ha, I almost fell for your trap. Anyway… as we agreed, you can go.” “Thanks, Chopper.”

**** “So you knew…” The young captain turned to the first crewmate. “What, Zoro?” “The condition of the cook…” “Oh… that one? Yup." "And you didn't tell us." "It wouldn't be appropriate for me to say it." “Is it really okay with you?” "On which subject?" “The cook joining the pack… After all, he lied to us.” “Zoro, I don't expect you to understand since you're an alpha.” “Luff-“ “Is it a problem for you? Don't you want him?" “My priority is what you want.” "If it wasn't, would you mind if he's in the pack?" “No, I guess.” "Then it's okay, right?" "I guess." "Beautiful." “Hey, Luffy…” "Yup?" “Let's make a nest tonight. Let's both formalize the cook's participation in the pack and…” "And?" “If others agree, let's make pack markings.” Luffy smiled widely when he heard Zoro's words. "Ok. I'll tell the others." "OK."

*** Nami was in her room dealing with her new map, but there was someone bothering her. "What the hell are you doing here, Usopp?" “Well, I…” “Don't slur! I already have a job.” “Don't you think it's weird?” "What is weird?" “Sanji being an omega and lying to us about it?” “Strange words from a liar.” "Hey!" "Why do you think it's weird?" "I mean… I don't know, he was always acting as an alpha..." “As an Alpha?” "Yup." “Get rid of these patterns now, Usopp. You're not in a normal pirate crew. Look here, our captain is an omega and he is very strong. Why shouldn't our cook and another warrior be an omega? Plus look at me. I am alpha, but not a warrior.” "That's right there, but what about him lying to us?" “I'm sure there is a valid reason. It is not for us to question. And I can more or less guess why he wanted to hide it.” "How so?" “I presented when I was with Arlong at the age of 11. He realized first that I would be an alpha. He turned to me and said: 'Of course, you would be an alpha. If you were an Omega, you would be useless.' I entered my first rut in Arlong Park. They officially turned the event into a celebration. While I don't even realize what's going on." “Nami-” “I mean a lot of the world is still thick headed. Don't be one of them and bother Sanji-kun." Usopp hesitated but knew that Nami was right. “Sorry, Nami. You're right." “Of course I'm right. Now if you excuse me?" "Of course…" Just when Usopp was about to turn his back: "By the way, Nami?" “Yes,Usopp! What is it again?" “When will we leave the island?” “We would normally leave tomorrow, but we'll probably be here for another two days. We'll finalize it exactly after dinner." "Ok. Good luck with." "Go now!"
