Trafalgar D. Water Law; Ideal Type Deep Dive

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first thing that comes to my mind is that audio - “ I need to find my darling husband!” “What do you see in that guy?” “He makes me laugh.”

Law absolutely needs to be with someone who can make him laugh.

Throughout the post time skip arcs, it has been shown that Law -

Has a fear surrounding accepting and giving love

Believes that there must be a reason for earning love/giving love to someone

Law’s character had the most development in Dressrosa and Wano that could propel him towards healing with the defeat of Doflamingo, the revenge of Corazon’s death, and the closure statement that Sengoku says to him: “Don’t try to find a reason for someone’s love.”

Law has to heal first, or have a partner that will help him heal. To me, Law wouldn’t even think of committing to a relationship until the end of Dressrosa/Wano.

Law surrounds himself with goofy people, so it makes sense for him to fall for a goofy person.

This person would probably be on his crew as his trust issues wouldn’t allow for him falling for someone that has other loyalties that could easily be prioritized over him and end up betraying him.

Law is strict about subordinate dynamics, which is why you being on his crew may also hinder him from wanting to pursue something with you because he’s supposed to be your boss essentially.

Law would want someone that is smart, textbook smart like he is, but I also see this not being important if he truly runs into the ‘one’ that brings him the most peace.

I mean by that if you can’t hold and add to a conversation about idk the anatomy of the human body and the effects of a certain ailment, you’re not totally disqualified from his radar.

Someone who could hold emotional conversations with him is good. Even if he probably wouldn’t want the conversation. He’s kinda icky with feelings. Someone that could tell him how he feels, how they feel, and how that changes the context of whatever situation they are in. He needs someone like that.

I used to be opposed to the thought, but I believe Law needs someone truly soft. That means you could still fight if needed, but would rather not yk. It’s okay if you’re not out here swinging a machete trying to bloody the streets with your foes. That aspect of humanity that you have is something Law needs more prevalently in his life.

I remember reading an analysis of Law’s type and the creator said something similar to “Law needs someone who wouldn’t pull the trigger, just like Corazon didn’t.” I don’t know how much I agree with it but I think it’s worth mentioning.

Someone patient, but stubborn. Someone who is willing to wait for him to be ready to accept his feelings and won’t leave him when he makes a mistake (trust me he will make many mistakes in a relationship). Someone who also won’t be an idle figure in situations, you have an opinion and will voice it even if it doesn’t agree with Law’s perspective. You think the crew should help him on something rather than wait on the submarine and him go off alone? Tell him and make him listen, even if he shuts you down.

Law needs someone positive that can look at things with a glass half full mindset. Someone who looks at the rain and thinks about how the plants are getting water, someone who watches the snow fall but are commenting about how Penguin and Sachi are making snow angles and Bepo is really comfortable in the temperature. You even out his pessimism and bring light.

You’d have to get along with the other crew mates, especially Bepo too. Bepo is so important to Law, and if Bepo didn’t like you it already taints Law’s image of you.

After reading some of the Law Novel, preferably someone with a goal in life. It doesn’t have to be a huge driving factor that you live day by day by. It could be something small that fluctuates daily or weekly or wtv. Someone that can strive towards a goal they set for themselves and gets a glint of determination in their eye. But it’s also okay if you’re not like this because this won’t deter him fully if you aren’t a driven person.

You were always kind to him. Even before he invited you onto his crew, he identified your nature and could make a note about how you’re different from the majority of people he’s met.

Preferably, you’d be goofy, but not too loud. I feel like Law gets uncomfortable around those that are crazy extroverted- kinda like Luffy. Sometimes it reminds him too much of the Donquixote Pirates with all their flamboyance. That doesn’t mean if you have this quality you’d be off the list, he would just need it in smaller chunks or around the crew to be acclimated to it.

Grr, someone that ends up reminding him of Rosinante. Someone that Law knows is just a good person, regardless of their past.

If he asked you “why do you love me?” And you couldn’t give him an answer, you’re perfect.

He needs someone to be his safe space. Someone that could sit in his office while he works, content in the shared silence. Someone that he could ramble about his coin collection to without the worry of being judged. Someone that he could let touch his chest and have them run their fingers through his hair without worry that he’ll be harmed. Someone that will soothe him after he has a nightmare or read out loud to him until he falls asleep.

Someone that cares for him- this loops back to the stubbornness. Someone that tries to make him go to sleep, to make him eat, to make him take breaks from working. To make him live happily, something that he’s starved himself of truly ever since he was 10. He prolly won’t act like it, but you showing you care for him makes his heart bleed suffocatingly.

Someone that can show him how to love again and what it feels like to love again omg. The destruction of Flevance and the manipulation of the Donquixote Pirates so cruelly changed his perception of love.

Law wouldn’t want you to be a big shot in canon. If your bounty was rather substantial compared to his crew and him, or you had a crazy ability- it would make him worry awfully. He’d probably try to keep you out of harms way even more than he does with the rest of his crew.

Someone he can tell everything to and trust that they’ll keep it a secret.

Someone that likes the cold, likes the ocean. Living on a submarine as a pirate kinda requires this lol.

Omg imagine you’re from the North Blue too. He picks you up around the same time he does Penguin, Sachi, and Bepo. You’re one of the original members. The connection I feel like he would have with you would make him more willing to fall for you…

I feel like Law would like someone with longer hair. If he could watch them brush it, curl it around his finger, watch them create a hairstyle for the day. Small acts of domesticity in life.

Someone with large, doe eyes. He can see so much emotion through them, they hold so much weight. It reminds him of Bepo. (lol)

Someone aware of their own emotions and are in tune with their wants and needs.

I feel like he would fluster really easily if you had a gummy smile. Yk those big, pure smiles where the gums showed. When your eyes crinkly and your teeth are bared so naturally and without malice. It’s so beautiful to see.

Hey, i love your stories, can you do how the warlords (specifically Mihawk, Jinbei, and Crocodile) would react to finding out the reader is a former slave, but the reader is also a warlord themself, it can be platonic or romantic, I don't mind either way.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Warlords; Involved With A Warlord That’s A Former Slave

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: established romantic relationship (well as romantic as u can get with some of these guys..) Takes place before the Warlord system was abolished. I had a hard time writing this without it sounding too ooc so if u have a different thought abt how some of these warlords would react pls comment and lemme know! I was gonna include Blackbeard but lowkey idek how he’s react I don’t understand him that well and I have free will to not write abt that lil hoe

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Dracule Mihawk: Mihawk was approached by you initially before the two of you became involved with each other. Your abilities and admirable Haki gained you some respect from Mihawk. Particularly your fighting style was something that stood out to him, and he was interested to understand your potential more throughly.

Mihawk’s stoicism and general lack of public presence fit your needs well. Due to Mihawk’s perceptive nature, I’d wager he had suspicions that something happened between you and the World Government because of your obvious aversion to them. Though, lots of people don’t like the World Government, especially pirates so I don’t see him bringing it up unless he was too curious.

Assuming you keep the slave branding covered, Mihawk would only ever see it if you willingly present it to him. I don’t really think that the dynamic between you two will change once he knows. He would probably be more accommodating for you at Muggy Kingdom and understands your character better than he did previously. He himself has his own issues with the World Government and for his partner to be a victim of the conditions that they set up definitely increases his loathing of the world government.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Bartholomew Kuma: (small disclaimer I’m not too familiar with Kuma’s character either..) Kuma was probably hesitant to become involved with you due to his own enslavement to the World Government both previously and in terms of being a pacifista cyborg as well as being a revolutionary member. Though through small, private interactions over the course of numerous years the two of you had developed a bond.

Once Kuma put his trust in you and knew that while you were a Warlord and pirate; you were also a rare, good person, he was willing to risk confiding in you. He didn’t tell you everything, just a little bit about himself so you were aware of his mixed life. It prompted you to reveal your own checkered past and sorta showed him how similar people become after being affected by the World Government.

You had told him about your previous status as a slave. I feel like Kuma would be disheartened to hear about another’s enslavement, but he would also be able to empathize with you more than most anyone else in the world (as well as he can for a cyborg..) At most I feel like he can only offer you words and wouldn’t be able to take any action for you. Though his tender empathy, even at a distance, is comforting to you.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Donxuiquote Doflamingo: (literally the worst reaction you could ever hope for. I’m sorry but to me I feel like telling him this is the equivalent to saying that you have a D middle initial in your name. He WILL tweak I promise)

Your relationship with Doflamingo is akin to a give and take rather than an actual companionship. Though there might be what he thinks is love present on his side, it only ever harms you and even others at times. His love is more reflective of a child roughly playing with his favorite toy no matter how tattered it gets. You’re his favorite yes, but for how long? When will he notice the cracks in your paint coating? Or the chipped pieces of your frame?

He was attracted to your abilities and wanted to form an alliance. This alliance did benefit your crew, and granted you more political influence in the world. (Though, I feel like Doflamingo would try to make it physical between the two of you.)

Doflamingo figuring out that you were a former slave wasn’t intended by you. You had wanted to keep that a secret from him as long as you could. You didn’t know how he would react, but you didn’t think it would be good. And it wasn’t good, when he saw the burn seared into your back. The whole world stopped for a moment, nothing heard except your shaky breaths. I feel like this would go either two ways.

Doflamingo would be disgusted. He would feel cheated. How dare you be branded by something other than him, is what he would ask himself. He used to own slaves. He technically still does with his citizens of Dressrosa. He knows their lack of worth, their use to him and his mind would clash that version of inferiority with you instantly. To him, you were less than before but now you’re just a fake pretending to be human and pretending to be stronger than you really are. I feel like his reaction would be violent towards you and he would call off the progression of your alliance immediately.

The other way I see it going (and it’s kinda sick in my mind) is that Doflamingo would feel a new type of ownership over you. He used to authorize people to get that branding on your back. He’d feel like you were reminiscent of his past and his former birth right. I feel like he might try to coax you into becoming a slave for him under the pretense of sympathy and understanding. This would be him playing the long game, trying to break you down enough mentally for you to be dependent on him and he would be able to use you however he wanted. He would also use this information against you too, threatening to reveal it to the public or the government officials. Even worse, the celestial dragons so they could come and take you back.

Disgusting bird this one is

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Hancock Boa: (lowkey I feel like she’s incapable of falling for someone other than Luffy presently but we can ignore that) Boa would only ever try to pursuit a relationship if you had treated her the same way Luffy treated her. If you had shown her a lack of lust and instead genuine affection or kindness, she would be down so bad.

One big milestone in the development of your relationship with Boa was her revealing her own personal enslavement. She told you in desperation of a connection of trust and to try to prove that she wasn’t worthy of you. She was utterly shocked when you turned around and bared your own identical marking to her.

It would cause the two of you to have an intimate bond beyond anything sexual. You validated her and her sisters’ worth and existence. You also showed her that the mark didn’t have to be something to fear and that she could rely on you. I think she would fall in love with you like how she did with Luffy and would defy the World Government not just for herself and her empire anymore, but for you as well.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Jimbei: I feel like Jimbei would pursue someone with a clear moral scale and have ideals that align with him. (Though he’d probably prefer fishmen so like if you’re human he might not be looking at you like that..) You were an honorable pirate and someone that Jimbei was able to communicate with beyond Warlord meetings. The Sun Pirates would most likely notice the chances of an alliance forming between them and your crew given the praises Jimbei has given you.

It was on an island of neutral ground for the two of you, enjoying the isolation and conversing with one another when it happened. You told Jimbei of your previous enslavement and showed him your branding. It wasn’t really prompted, maybe you wished for Jimbei to talk of the important history of the Sun Pirates and Fisher Tiger. The slavery of fishmen was woven between the threads of the creation of the Sun Pirates. It was a safe space, Jimbei makes you feel safe, so once Jimbei was done talking, you opened up.

Jimbei would feel sympathy for your mark and your story. But he’s also someone who would be quick to acknowledge your strength to overcome it and persevere to the status of Warlord of your own pirate crew. Jimbei ran a hand over the mark softly before thinking of something. He offered to give you the Sun Pirates’ marking over it.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Trafalgar Law: Law wouldn’t be looking for a relationship until possibly after he is able to complete his goal of avenging Corazon by defeating Doflamingo. Plus you were a warlord with your own crew, so the trust he gave you was scarce if he gave you any at all.

Though, if he did align with your pirate crew and you helped him in his goal he’d have a considerable amount of trust and loyalty towards you for the duration of the alliance. Through this, the two of you gradually became a little closer to each other, divulging in stories of the past and history in the small free time you had. Though you weren’t together and neither of you would mention the kindles of what could perhaps be something more between the two of you.

One late night, you let it slip that you were a former slave. Law paused momentarily before acting unaffected. A silence fell over you two for a couple moments before he mentioned that you were free now. To which you responded with a smile. It wasn’t brought up again, and your alliance ended after the events of Dressrosa.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Gecko Moria: (guys I don’t like him) Hm. I feel like he would approach you first. Especially in his youth because he was more of a confident pirate before he faced off with Kaido. He had taken a liking to your appearance and your abilities were well suited for tasks in his opinion. I feel like he would propose an alliance with an ultimate goal of obtaining your power for his motives.

I thinks relationship with him would be another one based on mutual contentment, you scratch his big back, he scratches yours. Though, over time I think he would become loyal to you and care for you of his own will, not for the sake of the alliance.

He found out about your enslavement through one of his nosy underlings, maybe Perona. It would reason that you and her were at least acquaintances. I don’t think this would change much for Moria, though he might try to express sympathy for you. Perhaps he might bring it up in hopes you talk about your past to him so he can know more about you and what you’ve endured. He is caring to those who he considers family, and he would be willing to consider you that.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Crocodile: Crocodile was most likely approached by you. Though being the business man that he is, the only form of entanglement he would engage in would be through a mutual alliance of some sort.

Time may change the context of your alliance with him, and your relationship could grow into something that loosely resembles a carrying couple. Yet while Crocodile has his own secrets you aren’t privy to, he doesn’t enjoy you hiding ones from him, especially if it affects business.

You told him you would tell him a secret if he told you what happened to his hand. It was the amount of whiskey you had earlier in the evening talking, but Crocodile always became rather amused with your drunken ramblings. He made you go first.

He was rather surprised when you told him that you used to be a slave. You had covered your past so well. You were always dressed luxuriously, you surrounded yourself and your crew with powerful people, and you had this air of unassailable confidence that he always wanted to control. It just didn’t fit you, being a slave. When he asked about the marking, you replied that you got surgery to remove it and replace the skin graft of the area it was covering. He could tell you hated that part of your past, and hated the World Government and Celestial Dragons even more. You told him you would wring his neck if he publicized it. Puffing his cigar in your face, he mused before taking a deep sigh and told you about the story of his hand.

Roronoa Zoro; Watching

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: I don’t know what this is. Your first kiss with Zoro, happens right after Thriller Bark. Reader and Zoro are not in a relationship yet.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Zoro is a watcher. He’s always observing. Even when his eyes are closed and he’s feigning disinterest, he’s hearing all that’s happening and feeling the shift in the atmosphere.

He watched you when you first joined the crew. He noticed the way you clasped your hands together in your lap with practiced class. He took note of how your shoulders still carried tension when Sanji would serve you a beverage. He was aware of the alert look in your eye, the way they would linger when you were interested in Nami’s ‘Map of the World’ in progress.

When you first kissed him, he was watching. He had just woken up from the events of Thriller Bark. Everything hurt. The bandages that adorned his body were the only thing that separated his skin from your head that was resting on his stomach. Zoro picked his head up to identify the weight on top of him. His eyes had barely adjusted to the brightness of the world before the focused on you. You were still asleep. He laid his head back down.

How long had you been there? You were in different clothes than the ones he last saw you in. The ones that were ripped to shreds and stained with your blood. You had your fair share of bandages as well. The bridge of your nose had a band aid on it. The shoulder closest to him was wrapped securely, no doubt Chopper’s work.

He hadn’t been near you until the end of the Thriller Bark excursion, what with him having his shadow taken- he was considerably busy. When was the last time he saw you? It was just before Kuma appeared in front of the crew, you were the first crew mate he ran into. No. It was after nothing had happened. You were leaning against the cook. Through the blood covering his face and the blur of his eyesight he could barely distinguish the look of concern across the pair of faces in front of him before he fainted.

When he craned his neck to look at you again, Zoro was met with your eyes. You gasped, lifting your head from his abdomen to hover over him.

“Zoro?” It barely came out as a whisper. He grunted.

“Where’s everyone?” His voice was gruff and hoarse with disuse. It hurt to talk.

“They’re getting ready to leave soon. Franky and Usopp are making a memorial for Brooke’s old crew right now. He joined the crew by the way,” You muttered. Zoro wasn’t surprised.

“We were waiting for you to wake up. Chopper stepped away to have lunch but he’ll be here in a couple minutes.” You added. Zoro took a deep breath and closed his eyes again.

His skin began to crawl. “I can feel you staring at me.” He popped his right eye open to meet your gaze. “How long have I been asleep?” He didn’t want to know.

“This makes the third day.”

“That’s too long.” He murmured before making an effort to sit up. Your shoulders tensed from their relaxed position fiercely as you placed your hands on his chest to halt his movement. He looked at you again. Your concern was written in the creases of your brows.

“No. You aren’t going anywhere until Chopper gets back.” Your voice was firm, but there was something else lilting the edge of your tone.

Regardless, he dropped it and laid back down. His body was too stiff to be able to muscle you out of the way to get up. You kept one of your hands on his chest, the other going to rest on your knee and you sat in your shins next to his bed. You were still tensed, but the unfocused gaze on your face signaled that you were in deep thought.

Zoro huffed. You looked at him again, understanding what his golden eyes were asking you.

“What happened to you? How are you still alive?” There was a crack in your voice. Zoro blinked. The pain in his body spiked for a moment as he made a grunt. How was he alive?

“Nothing happened. It doesn’t matter.”

“I thought you were going to die. That you would be lost, forever!” You snapped, more sorrow than anger clipping your voice. Zoro maintained eye contact. Big, round eyes that conveyed so much emotion stared back at him. There was a vulnerability that Zoro almost didn’t want to be exposed to within your eyes. Almost. The intensity of your gaze reminded him of a doe.

“Lost?” He echoed.

“It doesn’t matter?” You echoed back.

Silence filled the room. Zoro sighed. The ache in his body ebbed just a tad. You dug your nails into his chest ever so slightly before releasing the tension in your body, sighing as well.

The soft clap of hooves could be heard down the hall. You look to the distance, then back at Zoro. Slowly, you lean down. At first he thought you were going to whisper something, but the press of your lips he felt against his forehead proved him wrong. Zoro set his jaw at the touch. It was soft, kind, unexpected. You pulled back.

“You’re lucky you’re awake now. There’s still some booze from the party left for you.”

You pushed up to your feet as Chopper entered Zoro’s vision. He watched your figure, drowning out Chopper’s questions about the redness in his face until he couldn’t see you any longer.

Dracule Mihawk; Ideal Type Deep Dive

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: this is prolly gonna be setting up some blurbs I do of Mihawk x reader but the reader’s like a loose OC w/some distinctions like backstory/general wardrobe nothing too forceful so readers can still feel like apart of the story but something I’d have fun writing yk so the writing style of this is different than original headcanons, leans more into blurbs

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Think Morticia and Gomez Addams

Mihawk would like someone that matches his dark and aloof aura

Mihawk is rather disengaged and bored of just about everything in life, but his lover is the one thing that he is engrossed by. I’m talking obsession, like a couple that’s too in love with each other that no one else is in the room with them.

Mihawk would be drawn to something with intense, dark features like darker hair and eyes. Sucker for lipstick, any shade of red. Black lipstick is one of his favorites too.

Mihawk would need to be with someone that can hold their own. His partner needs to be able to fight and be strong enough to defend themselves in a majority of scenarios.

Mihawk lives for thrill whether he admits it or not. His partner and him in a wild love chase *chef’s kiss*. Someone who can match his ‘cat and mouse’ energy and be frisky with him. Someone that likes to mess around with him and ignite their relationship. Be that some caresses then a smooth exit out the door or challenging him to something, he’s following you as soon as you’re out of his sight.

Mihawk would love long length dresses. Something that screams regality and empowers his lover and makes them look beautiful.

I see Mihawk as being a sucker for teasing. Your gown has a deep v neck and your cleavage is exposed perfectly? He’s looking. There’s a thigh split in your skirt or dress? He’s looking. Your corset hugs your waist and accentuates your hips. He’s looking and feeling you up. Whisper something in his ear, give him a long moment of intense eye contact, rub your hand along his chest then exit the room. He loves loves loves it!! He loves it all I cannot stress enough he’s transfixed by his lover for life.

Mihawk most likely wouldn’t want someone clingy, but someone obsessed with him. There’s a fine line and it’s easy it blur it. Whining about how he’s been gone from Muggy Kingdom and made you feel kinda lonely might come across as irritating if he heard it too many times. Someone who could keep themselves busy until he returns and grab him by his coat collar and tell him that he spent too much time away from the island is more enticing to him and makes him just as obsessed as his lover. (I really hope that made sense)

Mihawk likes someone that can banter with him too. Someone that can flirt with him whether it’s just them in the room or a whole navy fleet. Someone bold and confident in themselves, that loves themselves maybe a bit too much.

(Literally just imagine a scene with you and Mihawk exchanging flirtatious eye contact while fending off against marines and yall end up right next to each other and just as the last marina drops he grabs ahold of you and whispers another love confession against your lips omfg..)

Mihawk would want someone that is well rounded. Someone who knows the way the world works and has a good brain underneath all their beauty. Someone cunning enough to scam a poor barkeeper out of their berri but compassionate enough to feed the stray cats of the town. Someone that can hold a conversation with him of the best wines or whiskey and defend their favorites against his own.

Someone with manners. Mihawk appreciates couth people that talk with an air of knowledge and slyness and can read through the lines of marine propaganda. Mihawk needs some romance in his relationship, there must be love and trust, not just looks and lust.

Mihawk would pour his whole being into a relationship and needs that to be reciprocated. While he might be nonchalant, he can still be dedicated. People may know of his lover, they may not. He doesn’t really speak upon it but won’t deny it if someone were to bring it up.

Someone that was also a pirate would suit Mihawk. They can handle being away from him for long periods of a time, they can defend themselves and have connections to powerful people (shanks imagine you knew shanks outside of Mihawk’s rivalry with him). He would never entangle with a marine, he has a strong hatred for them because of his past. A civilian that hasn’t led a tumultuous life wouldn’t be best prepared for whatever hardships may come Mihawk and his love’s way.

Someone who knows how to dance!!! Oml imagine dancing with Mihawk and not js white girl dancing I’m talking duo romantic dances. Theres romance, there’s sexual tension, there’s a bond that flows between y’all’s bodies.

Someone with desire in them. Lemme explain, someone that can go a couple months without his help sexually, but craves him so bad when they finally reunite they can have a passionate session once alone. Someone to match his romantic freakiness.

Mihawk would want his partner to have a healthy relationship with sex. Sex is an act of devotion, and whether him and his love engage it 0 or 3 times a day, he wants both of them to enjoy it to the fullest.

Mihawk would prolly want his lover to be morally grey. If he kills someone and you get mad at him for it, yall won’t work out. There are exceptions to this, and he can easily change his ways if that’s what his lover coaxed him to do though. But if he retells how he hunted down Don Kreig’s whole pirate fleet because they awoke him from his nap, he can’t have you try to slap him and give him a lecture on how he’s a heartless murderer (bc he is a heartless murderer).

Mihawk is loyal, and it’s a given he would expect that back. No matter how long yall are apart, no one else should satisfy you in the ways a lover should because trust ain’t no one doing that for him.

Someone who loves food, he’s quite a good cook and frequents the Baratie. The Baratie is well accustomed to serving the two of you on your monthly date (oml I should write a blurb abt Sanji tryna make moves on you while Mihawk watches in amusement looking all smitten or smth lmao).

Mihawk would prefer his lover to have a calm rationale. If his lover starts freaking out and screaming over something inconvenient or starts harsh arguments over miscommunications the relationship is doomed to fail.

Someone that is a gossip lol. Read the news and try to theorize why Alabasta was featured twice and the first time it mentioned the Warlord Crocodile’s casino having a river around it bc it’s Alabasta and it hasn’t been raining there in months apparently. Some fun stuff like that haha.

Sanji spends a good deal of his free time in the kitchen even if he isn’t preparing meals or snacks. Sometimes he’ll take inventory over his food supplies thrice over in one sitting just to make sure he has everything the crew needs.

Sanji doesn’t smoke in the kitchen. He feels as though it is unprofessional, contaminates his materials and workspace, and hurts the atmosphere of the kitchen. Zeff taught him this because when he started to smoke the first time he did so in the kitchen Zeff caught him and smacked him red in front of the customers.

He started smoking because he wanted to seem like a man and impress Zeff (we know this) but it more so stems from him not wanting to be a helpless child and wanted control over himself which he was stripped of during his time at germa.

Sanji absolutely despised the taste of his cigarettes. He still does to some extent. But he when the nicotine filled his lungs it began to bring a sense of calm over him which helped him not have to deal with his trauma and anxiety.

Has smoked over two packs in a day multiple times before. It gets like this around his birthday. Zeff used to have to hide all cigarettes in the Baratie from Sanji.

Zeff gave Sanji his lighter because he wanted Sanji to look more professional and told him, ‘if you’re gonna smoke like a man, you need a man’s lighter.’

Tried cigars, it affected him much more than cigarettes and Zeff banned him from using them.

Wasn’t taught by any of the other cooks how to flirt, it came very natural for him. He absolutely crashes and burns if he gets flirted with back.

Has swooned a total of 4 girls in his years at the Baratie:

The first girl had only gone to chaste kisses and light caresses before the cooks found them in the bathroom.

The second was a little too tipsy and Sanji stopped anything from happening when she tried pressing herself all over him and grabbing him in the dining room.

The third one looked old enough to go to be his mother and gave him a blowjob before he freaked out and ran away from her before things escalated (he wasn’t ready and gets nightmares about it still).

The fourth girl was the first time he had ever properly touched a female but it was only some fingering and heavy making out before she pushed him off of her, thanked him for passing time with her, and walked out.

Is well acquainted with the Baratie regulars. Has spoken to Mihawk a good amount of times, knows the type of wine he requests. Gets freaked out by his sharp stare when he turns his back to him though. (Mihawk IS a regular.)

Has gotten into multiple cook offs with the other chefs, but always loses according to Zeff (Zeff’s the final judge).

The curl of his eyebrow forms a little heart inside of the big swirl. Tried shaving off the curl of his eyebrow but it grows back that way. Patty told him to stop trying to get rid of it so he did.

Zeff has added some of Sanji’s dishes to the regular menu, Sanji cries each time he sees the newest addition. Zeff never acknowledges it.

When he was being taught how to fight by Zeff, his perfect practice often became troublesome customers. Zeff encouraged it so much which is why up till he left Sanji was the most likely to get into a fight with customers.

Has scammed a good amount of berri from some of the marines that visit if we’re being honest. If he doesn’t like their attitude, he will up their bill significantly. Has gotten called out on this multiple times. Denies it every time.

Zeff bought him his first suit and taught him how to tie a tie. Wore the suit more than a chef’s uniform and apron, never bought him another suit. (Sanji’s obsession with suits got even worse).

Called Zeff dad a handful of times. Each time he would stop and look away for a long second before walking off. He usually went to a spot to cry. It stunned Zeff at first, but then the last couple of times it happened Zeff followed and sat with Sanji until he stopped crying.

Sanji hasn’t told Zeff about his past. The most he mentioned was his mother. Zeff often wonders what happened for a kid to be so traumatized.

Sanji would have nightmares and wake up either screaming or crying when the Baratie first opened up. Zeff would always have to sit by his bedding until he calmed down. Sanji would cry more if any of the other chefs came in.

Has spent so much time on sea that he walks diagonally for a hot minute when he gets on land. Would stumble a lot more on land if his legs weren’t so strong. Has very good sea legs, practically born with them.

French is his mother tongue and it’s the native language of Germa. He was taught English because it’s the most common language among the four blue seas but he had a thick accent when he was young. Zeff couldn’t understand him sometimes when he spoke.

Sanji often refers to food by their French name.

Sanji almost got completely rid of his accent because he felt as though it tied him to Germa. It comes out when’s he aroused or angry though. One time a girl said his French sounded sexy, but he’s on the fence when he’s flirting or trying to dirty talk to let his natural voice and accent come out, sometimes speaking full sentences in French. Regardless, it annoys the shit out of Zeff.

Nico Robin + Franky; Duo Headcanons

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Slow burn. Franky gets flustered when he thinks about how he likes Robin so he doesn’t bring it up. Robin knows, Robin feels the same way but doesn’t get the same type of ‘freeze’ flustered as he does. She’s waiting for him to confess first because Franky feels like it’s the most manly thing for him to do.

Franky builds Robin furniture for her to lounge in periodically. He also upgrades her chairs with modifications to make it more comfortable for her like adding a moving arm that brings forward her drink, etc.

Robin has gotten Franky to read a couple of books and they chat at least a couple times a week about it.

Franky is Robin’s #1 hype man when it comes to fashion or fighting. (Sanji’s in second place and not too far behind though.) Franky has a habit of building a set of stairs extremely quickly during battles for Robin to get around if she’s in heels.

If Franky is tinkering sometimes Robin will sit in his shop with him to keep him company if she doesn’t want to be out on the deck anymore. If the weather isn’t appropriate, she reads in his workshop.

Robin likes all the different hairstyles that Franky is able to with his hair but she prefers it to be the same style as when they met.

Robin is perched on Franky’s huge shoulders more often than you would think. Franky likes carrying her if the crew is traveling afoot and she doesn’t mind.

When Sanji asks her for her daily mid afternoon snack, whatever she requests is usually paired up with a cola for Franky.

Robin helps Franky with his robotic parts when he needs to upgrade or replace them with her devil fruit.

Franky’s words at Enies Lobby make Robin feel good and grateful about life; sometimes when she’s losing her motivation she recalls what he said to her.

She also commonly goes to him and soaks up his vibrant energy to feel better.

Robin likes cats, Franky has made her a cyborg cat that lives in the library below deck.

On occasion Robin will paint Franky’s metal nails with her nail polish.

Franky helps Robin with scribing all her knowledge into journals and books. She has a photographic memory and a vast collection of schema- she remembers a great deal about the books that were burned on Ohara.

Franky has been caught by multiple Straw Hats staring at Robin on deck. He doesn’t ever deny anything, he just blushes, says something stupid, and leaves as quickly as he can.

Franky has given Robin multiple massages with his little hands before. It clams her immensely and it’s a trusting, intimate act between the two of them.

Roronoa Zoro; Wine Tasting

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: post timeskip, confirmed relationship with reader and Zoro. Reader loves wine. I literally wrote a mini story inside of this one bc I got carried away and was like ‘wait. This isn’t the plot.’

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A singular golden eye followed the glass lifted to your lips as you closed your eyes and tilted your head back. In a smooth motion, Zoro watched as the wine went down your throat. It was thick, tartier than the wine that you tasted just before.

The cellar the two of you were in was cozy, with only a few rows of barrels. It was just about dark in the room, save for the lamps lit at the ends of the hall that painted your body in a warm, rustic light. It made Zoro’s body buzz, and with each swig of alcohol he takes the more inclined he’d become to act on it.

Zoro had suggested trying out the drinks as the two of you walked through the town looking for something to occupy your time as The Sunny stopped for restocking. And who were you to turn down some wine?

This shop had been around since the town was created, the shop keeper had said. He went on about it as he led you and Zoro down a set of steps to the underground room of wine barrels before promptly disappearing.

Opening your eyes, you met Zoro’s intense gaze. You pressed your lips together before deciding.

“6.”

Zoro’s lip curved with a small scoff as he shook his head lightly. He reached for the glass and eagerly downed the rest of it. Though, he wasn’t as neat as you. A line of deep red was slowly making its way down his jaw before you brought your finger to halt its tracks.

You softly sucked the remaining wine from your finger before sighing, “7.”

“Damn, only worth one point?” Zoro’s voice held more a more challenging tone than a defeated one. He was staring at your lips, “It’s a 9.”

You giggled, “Of course it’s just about perfect to you. After all, booze is booze right?” Zoro cracked a toothy smile at that. He wouldn’t say it out loud, but his chest burned harshly with something he dare not name when you proved how well you knew him.

“Well, it certainly isn’t that way to you. ‘Ms. I only drink wine because I’m too good for anything else.’” There was no real bite in his words, evident through the way Zoro hooked his right arm around your waist and brought you closer. The lack of the shop keeper’s presence added to the sultry atmosphere.

“Come now, I was made from love and wine. I have to be picky about my liquor or my parents would be disappointed, savvy?” You wrapped your arms around his neck, lightly brushing those earrings of his with your fingers.

Zoro grunted, “Yeah yeah, savvy.”

Your other hand made its way to the base of this hair and began to massage the area. He made another deeper grunt, enjoying the attention as he allowed his eye to close and just feel.

He felt the swirl of the wine in his belly, the warmth of your body against his, the delightful pressure your finger tips brought against the back of his head.

Zoro liked wine. The buzz he got from wine was always different than any other booze. It was more calm, more diluted than the harsh, dizzying buzz he was accustomed to with his cheap sake. On some nights, you have even convinced him it’s a more pleasant buzz.

The solace brought by the embrace was cut short as you paused your movements and leaned back. When he opened his good eye, Zoro saw you assessing another barrel lying on the rack to his right. And just like that, you spun from his hold to approach the barrel.

“Bring the glass over big guy.” You called over your shoulder while tapping at the barrel. Zoro followed, not straying more than a foot from behind you. He liked that nickname. It was one of the first you gave him, way back when nothing and everything happened. When the old had met the new, he remembered the first time you called him that.

He didn’t have time to reminisce over it though, as you quickly moved out of the way for the dark liquid to come flowing out of the barrel. Shooting out his hand, Zoro caught the wine in the glass.

Capping the barrel once more, you turned with fervor in your eyes, “Ladies first.” The glistening smile upon your face made Zoro’s face heat up.

Your eyes narrowed, and he knew you saw the blush. He clenched his teeth together and looked away from you to avoid any comment. With another giggle, you took the glass from Zoro and brought it to your lips once more.

This wine was not as thick as the previous one you tried, but still plenty rich. The tang was prominent, however what was more notable was the fruitiness that slid along your tongue. You hummed with delight, this was your type of wine.

“A damn 8, easily.” You held the glass out to your lover, “Might I?”

Zoro found a flittering sense of amusement as he assumed that the wine was rather sweet and fruity based on your rating of it. Though you’d been drinking wine your whole life and were no novice in the wine world- in fact it was the only alcohol you drink- you still appreciated the sweeter wines to the tartier wines. Which in Zoro’s experience, makes you a diamond in the rough.

His mind would often bring back the haunting similarities between you and a certain swordsman he’s grown entangled with. Though, your eyes never held that glowing, predatory glare that his own have permanently sculpted through the throws of daunting yellow.

Zoro sucked in a breath, the deep maroon of his cheeks pairing well with his tan skin and the lighting of the cellar. He stepped a space closer, parting his mouth. You raised to the edges of your boots and tipped your hand, allowing the rest of the drink to fill his mouth before you stopped. Landing back on the flat of your shoes, you eyed Zoro.

He closed his mouth and swallowed every drop, staring right back at you. The taste was sweet for Zoro, not that you would think it actually was sweet. Yet it was a sweetness he longed for. It tasted like you.

“What do you think?” Your voice was hushed.

Zoro’s eye gazed between your eyes then back down at your lips. His right hand went to your jaw. Your breath hitched, Zoro could smell the wine from you. The faint buzzing in his belly had passed through his heart and to his brain, rendering him too weak to stop himself.

His lips smashed into your awaiting ones. You let out a sound of relief, too small to be considered a moan but too true to not mean anything.

Zoro pulled from the lip lock to lick his tongue along your bottom lip. Your lips parted quickly, taking his tongue and sucking harshly. Zoro groaned, dropping the glass in favor of gripping your hair. His right hand moved down towards your waist and grabbed onto your side.

Your left hand dug into the exposed skin of his chest while your right went to cradle the side of his face. Zoro tensed for a moment before your thumb started to move. Your thumb lightly traced the edges of his scar, barely feeling the tender skin surrounding his closed eye. His body released the tension in his muscles as Zoro relaxed into your body slightly more.

He had already given you all of him, your touch reminding him of his devotion to you. He never would’ve known that after every thing he went through with his loyalty to Luffy and his pursuit of greatest swordsman that he would have a bond like this with someone.

You broke the deepness of the kiss, panting into his mouth. You felt several chaste kisses being placed upon your lips before moving on. Zoro sighed, turning your chin up by tugging with the hand still in your hair to gain better access to your neck and jaw.

And just like Zoro, you had given your all to him. Zoro ran his nose along your pulse, feeling the beating underneath your skin. The vulnerability of your position, the bare trust you gave Zoro in times like this filled him with sweet bile.

He gave one deep suck to the skin above your pulse until he felt the hand in his own hair tighten. You let out a whine so low and so short lived Zoro barely caught it. The stimulation was bordering along the line of too sensitive for you at the moment.

Zoro stopped sucking, giving you one last lick before he rose from his spot against your body. He brought your forehead to his, “Let’s get this one.”

Zoro & Kuina Thought: The Greatest Swordsman

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Kuina is such a tragic minor character to me and her relationship and impact on Zoro is a big part of it.

For one, you have Kuina’s philosophy that she developed at an extremely young age: ‘Women are biologically inferior to men.’ She fully believed no matter how strong she was, when she grew up her body would betray her and a man would best her in a duel. She had to have learned this in Shimotsuki Village in her father’s dojo as well, because this thought - in my mind - couldn’t have come to her organically. Potentially her father made some comments that she focused on and broke down in her mind? Idk.

Kuina’s death meant a couple things.

Zoro had never and will never beat her in a fight.

Her potential was not yet reached and her strength currently had she lived will never be known.

Kuina died without a single loss, ever.

Zoro having Kuina as his goal doesn’t exactly disappear since she died imo. It just means that she will never be beaten by him. No matter how strong Zoro gets, Kuina will always be a goal post ahead of him that he hasn’t reached yet because her strength was always above his but never fully known.

I think of it as a fixed distance between the two of them yk. I have Zoro 10 feet behind Kuina. No matter how many steps Zoro takes forwards, Kuina takes just as much. Therefore, the gap between them is always present and unchanging.

Imo, she’s always ahead of him because she never got the chance to improve and grow into an adult the way Zoro has. So if she did and grew at the same rate, she would still be better.

Through this mentality, once Zoro overcomes Mihawk (hopefully?) Zoro would be the greatest swordsman in One Piece. Right? But- Kuina would also be the greatest swordsman because she’s still ahead of him. In this way, Kuina will actually achieve her dream even though she’s been dead for quite some time now.

Ahhh word vomit but I’ve been thinking abt it too much and needed to get it out

Your Thoughts on dating Zoro? Would he fall for women or men? Thinking about popular ships like Zoro x Sanji or Zoro x Robin/Tashigi/Hyiori? ❤️❤️❤️

Roronoa Zoro Thoughts: Emotional Intelligence and Ability To Date

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Tw guys my opinion don’t hate me☝️

Okay so ima explain my understanding of Zoro’s character and his possibility of being romantically involved with another person and then my thoughts on Zoro’s popular ships.

To me, Zoro is a physical representation of a protector, a predator, and loyalty. He prioritizes the safety of the people important to him, burdens himself to evolve into a stronger swordsman for the people close to him, and sees more value in actions rather than words.

He used to be someone that was living for himself, until Kuina. Then he was living for his shared promise to become the greatest swordsman, until Luffy. Until Thriller Bark, Sabaody, and his exile in Muggy Kingdom. Now he lives for his crew, to ensure Luffy’s dream and through Luffy achieving his dream Zoro will achieve his own (plus him actually having another duel with Mihawk). Yk what I’m saying? He still has a goal, but it has changed to encompass the Strawhats as a whole with a special bond towards Luffy.

There’s this tiktok editing account called ._avxmvx_ and they have such good edits that I feel like speak for Zoro’s character- just a side note hehe

••

Okay guys, me personally, I don’t see Zoro being interested in dating. It’s not anywhere near the top of his list in canon.

Although I do like reading about/the dynamic of Zoro with a person that is either the representation of a higher being (ie, Luffy being the god Nika through his devil fruit yk smth like that) or of things associated with gods (example being person with relations/undertones of say wine, grapes, floral, earthy colors, with a personality summed up in a few words as indulgent, capricious, joyous, and fiendish because all of these things are alluded to the Greek god Dionysus.)

Zoro being paired with someone with religious and spiritual energy and ties is something I personally enjoy because Zoro is a character that is morally grey, has no belief in a higher being, has accepted damning himself for the sake of others, and actually has in canon relationships that have religious implications (guys Luffy and Zoro trust me bro)

I like dynamics like those paired with Zoro because I think it’s something that challenges his way of viewing the world when he’s surrounded by someone that encompasses a higher influence that’s not attainable by people but it’s not forcing him change yk??

••

Zoro is also a character with a stunted emotional understanding and capacity for empathy in my opinion.

I say this because of his parent’s death at an early age, a heavy training focused childhood, the death of his only close friend, and the isolation of his teenage years when he left Shimotsuki village up until he met Luffy.

This isn’t to say that he doesn’t feel emotion and can’t joke around (pre time skip funny Zoro come back to me pls) but overall I think it’s easier for Zoro to not engage with others on a highly emotional level and in emotional situations Zoro is most comfortable looking at things rationally as best he can without adding subjectiveness onto the situation (think Water 7, his opposition to Usopp rejoining the crew without properly apologizing and atoning.)

Zoro also actively tries to squash his feelings imo which is kinda sad. (Think how in drum island he tells himself to squash instincts and so now he’s not shown to be cold even in punk hazard and the beginning of egghead he was just toughening it out.)I think he does this because his mind associates the best swordsman with strength and not being influenced by your surrounding.

Which is why I think Mihawk is the reason for his stoicism post timeskip.

Now, this relates back to his ability to be with someone romantically because it probably wouldn’t be easy for him to. Especially not emotionally. It probably would be uncharted territory for him and if he wanted it his partner would have to work with him and teach him and build up his ability to understand others emotions and the ability to sympathize/empathize.

••

Now, gender wise, I actually can’t give you a clear answer on what I think Zoro’s preference would be. I feel like Zoro’s preference is more of a scale that looks at character traits and actions rather than identity and appearance.

In all honesty, I could see Zoro having an easier time becoming involved with a man rather than a woman. I don’t have much reasoning for it though, it’s just a feeling.

Perhaps his comfortability in his masculinity? Maybe because of how obviously dense he is when it comes to women? Maybe his past relationships of Saga and Kuina? Idk

••

So, in canon Zoro being in a relationship is a no go imo. Now let’s discuss my thoughts on Zoro’s popular ships.

I don’t ship Zoro with anyone, however I do appreciate the dynamics of some of his ships because I view them as something deeper than romance.

To me, a lot of Zoro’s ships are understood as a soulmate- you feel right in my life and I want to be around you type of way I’ll protect you no matter how bloody the future is- not a -I really like you I wanna kiss you and have sex with you and you can talk to me all about your feelings about the world- type of way

Not saying that the ladder can’t or isn’t presented in fandom media, it is just something that I don’t prioritize seeing in Zoro ships.

��•

Zoro x Luffy: I appreciate Zoro x Luffy again in a more subservient dynamic.

(Omg I saw a post like a year ago saying smth about how Zoro is Luffy’s in a way none of the other strawhats are because he hasn’t ever betrayed or left the crew and out of the romance dawn crew he’s the only one that hasn’t done so ugh I wish I could find the creator I’d love to tag them)

I like exploration on how devoted Zoro is to Luffy and I do think that they have a bond that is deeper than just friends or captain and first mate.

But I wouldn’t call it romantic or sexual. It is natural, it is inherent and instinctual, it is almost religious imo

I also don’t think that Luffy is interested in dating.

Because of this, I do think that the ship works in certain ways. (u understand what I’m saying?)

••

Zoro x Sanji: I feel like this has potential as a ship but there’s things that need to happen before yk.

First, Sanji needs to acknowledge and heal through his trauma. Of his childhood, guilt, body, Germa, and especially his relationship/perspective of men, masculinity, and women.

I think Zoro could help him through it, if they ever talked about it. But I doubt they would. At least not explicitly. Maybe roundabout but something so minimal the implications could be lost easily on either of them.

But Zoro’s lack of emotional understanding is also called into play here. This is something that Sanji is very good at. He’s emotionally aware and attune to those around him. They are opposites in this way. But pairing them together isn’t good imo in a ship way. Yk?

I like the ship dynamic in how they complete each other in different ways. I read a post before about Zoro’s association with the number three and Sanji’s representation of the number three. Sanji’s humanity compared with Zoro’s brutalism or strength. They are strong in different ways. They are vital to the crew in different ways.

They work as a duo more than a ship to me though. I don’t see them romantic, I don’t see them sexual, but I do see them as sort of kindred flames or something of soulmates.

They belong in each other’s world and they do need each other but they won’t admit it. Yk?

••

Zoro x Robin: guys no.

I’m sorry but I just don’t support this ship at allllllll.

I do understand the evidence that Zorobin shippers bring up. They are alike, they do have a good dynamic, they respect each other, they are vital to the crew, but it’s just mid.

I feel like I don’t like it that much because regardless of Zoro’s loyalty to Robin as shown, Zoro doesn’t really interact with her fondly. Yk? Like I don’t remember seeing them just kinda chit chat for a second. There’s always something that is the catalyst for them to interact as far as I understand.

I also don’t think that Zoro is the best significant other for Robin. He isn’t what Robin would want nor need.

I say this due to his emotional intelligence, his aloof personality overall, and his dedication to training. I also say this because of Robin’s intellectualism, childhood experience, and personality. I feel like Franky is just so much better for her (sorry guys rip Frobin from my dead body.)

••

Zoro x Tashigi: I do not see this as a ship. I don’t like it particularly as a ship either.

I liked Tashigi and Zoro’s first dynamic when they first interacted with each other in Loguetown when Tashigi and Smoker were originally introduced.

The way that Tashigi was a female swordsman that looked just like Kuina, Zoro’s dead friend. The way that this made Zoro uncomfortable and he couldn’t handle it.

I loved it. I thought it was so interesting for Zoro’s character. I wish they kept it in post timeskip because it would’ve changed their behavior (or at least Zoro’s) towards each other in Punk Hazard.

I feel like this also ties into Zoro’s emotional capacity as well because he understands why he’s uncomfortable but he doesn’t try to change it- he only ever tries to run from her and increase their distance.

So, I don’t see nor support this as a ship, but I liked it a lot when Zoro was uncomfortable around Tashigi.

••

Zoro x Kuina: I do not view this as a ship either.

I think that Kuina was best as Zoro’s friend and the added complexity of romantic feelings at such a young age plus her death is just a lot. It’s a lot for Zoro.

I also don’t feel like it suits Zoro either. Loving her like that would better suit and origin story for Sanji ykwim?

Plus I like how Kuina was his goal and it intentionally wasn’t romantic. I liked the friendly deep connection between two swordsman.

I also don’t think that Kuina would have viewed Zoro like that even if she properly grew up.

••

Zoro x Hiyori: Hmmmmmmmm.

I kinda have mixed feelings about this one.

At first I didn’t like it. I didn’t understand why Hiyori liked Zoro and to be honest I still don’t.

The only reason I really see is because he wasn’t attracted to her and protected her physically. Plus he’s a strong swordsman like her father.

I actually really really like Hiyori’s character, but I feel like it might’ve been a mistake to add her feelings towards Zoro into Wano by Oda. But I do really like how she didn’t necessarily act on it. Sure, she had some damsel in distress moments and did flirt with him, but she kept her priorities straight and helped free Wano.

I really respect her for that. I wish that more female characters were done properly like her.

Zoro also clearly showed no interest towards her. The most he cared for in relation to her in my opinion was her father, Oden, her brother, Momonosuke, and the blade Enma.

Zoro also wouldn’t be willing to have feelings for her. She isn’t a part of the Strawhats and has no future with them. She isn’t hugely impactful towards the Strawhats as a whole. His loyalty wouldn’t ever be able to be in two places at once like it would be if he loved her yk??

So. The ship is okay I guess. I don’t ship it and I don’t support it however. I also don’t ever see it happening in canon. I also think Hiyori wouldn’t like Zoro if she really got to know him and would be better with a different person.

Black Leg Sanji; Strawhat Headcanons

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Genuinely gets annoyed to no end with Luffy when he tries to sneak food from the pantries.

Has kicked Brooke, Chopper, and Luffy out of the kitchen when he cooks multiple times on separate occasions.

Is slightly uncomfortable around Zoro because of how confident Zoro is in his own masculinity. This is a big reason why Sanji instigates fights with him.

Has been offered a massage by Robin before but got so flustered he had to decline.

Has written down all of the Strawhat’s food allergies as well as their likes and dislikes.

Genuinely spends most of his day in the kitchen. He preps meals up to hours in advance and is always considerate enough to make daily snacks for the crew. He also goes into the kitchen to be alone if he needs the space. It’s his safe spot.

Has gotten into multiple long winded discussions with Chopper about his health and overworking tendencies but he always brushes it off. It exasperates Chopper.

Along with Usopp, is the primary caretaker of Nami’s tangerines and Robin’s flower bed.

Sanji frequently makes Usopp a type of pastry from Syrup Village. Usopp mentioned how he was homesick and missed some normalcy in the early days of the Strawhats with the Going Merry. Usopp cried when Sanji presented the pastry to him.

In the kitchen there’s a special cupboard just for Zoro’s sake. Sanji is the only one that can mess with it other than Zoro. Sanji makes passive aggressive comments when he notices the bottles dwindling in quantity.

During meal time, Sanji makes a point to deliver all the Strawhat’s their portion before getting his own. Often he’ll wait until they have had their seconds as well before plating what’s left for himself.

Has a couple copies of the All Blue in his locker. One is in pristine condition. Another has multiple annotations made throughout it. Another has sketches of the type of fish he would imagine there, some from the other Blue seas and some that haven’t been discovered yet.

When Chopper first joined, Sanji was rather serious about him being back up food in the worst case scenario. He thinks quite differently now.

Sometimes when he sees Zoro’s hair in passing or through the corner of his eye, Sanji will instinctively tense up. With time it hasn’t bothered him as much, but especially at night it’s hard to distinguish the mint of Zoro’s hair and not the grass of Yonji’s hair.

His grocery list always includes Cola. Everytime. Without fail. Franky goes through Cola like water.

Has multiple cook books. He usually buys a local cook book at every major town or city they dock at.

Has a notebook with recipes and foods that the crew enjoy from their hometowns. Has another notebook filled with new dishes he wants to try making.

Has had a fair amount of conversations with Jimbei over fishmen diet and eating habits. Is particularly interested in the range of food that different breeds of fishmen consume.

Gets irritated with Brooke’s panty obsession when he acts creepy towards women, especially Robin and Nami.

Is one of the hair stylists of the Strawhats. (I’m pretty sure it was included in an sbs somewhere that he, Robin, and Brooke cut the Strawhats’ hair..)

When things get worse for him mentally, he won’t leave the kitchen for a concerning amount of time. One time it was like this and Chopper walked in to try and talk to Sanji he almost fainted from how pungent the cigarette smell was.

Has fallen asleep in the kitchen a generous amount. Either Usopp or Franky generally shake him awake to find half of his face red from the dinner table’s indentions.

Is disgusted at how little some of the men on the crew bathe sometimes. (Cough cough Zoro..Luffy…)

Likes to go perfume and cologne shopping with Robin and Nami. He probably gets more excited than they do, or at least does a worse job at hiding his excitement than them.

His heart swells when Luffy praises his cooking skills. It swells when anyone praises him, but Luffy’s words always resonate in Sanji’s mind just a little longer than the other’s do.

Didn’t know how to act around Zoro when he first joined the crew. Zoro’s demeanor was such a different pace than the men he was used to and if he was being honest with himself Sanji still doesn’t fully know how to act around him.

Has frequent talks with Usopp and Robin about the All Blue. They listen to his words the most out of the crew members when he mentions it.

Gets nightmares very often. Normally he’s silent enough that the other guys don’t wake up, but Zoro has caught him sniffling with tears down his cheeks a rare few times. Zoro doesn’t bring it to the cook’s attention. When he wakes up from a nightmare, he usually ends up back in the kitchen prepping breakfast.

I love your Post about Laws ideal type. 💯😍Do you see him more with a boy or girl?

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: omg I love this question sm bc regardless of what points I say it’s ambiguous and up to the audience’s interpretation and ultimately Oda’s however I seriously doubt Law would have a significant other in the canon timeline. Ty Ty for asking I had a ton of fun writing this out!

- I’m not religious and haven’t read the Bible so don’t attack me if I say smth improper about any of the sects of Christianity bc I’m using my preconceived and second hand knowledge abt it. if u think of smth pls comment and share ur thoughts w me I would love to be educated by another further respectfully ^^

Trafalgar D. Water Law; Boy or Girl SO Preference?

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

If you look at Flevance, they resemble a typical small Christian community, even if it isn’t explicitly stated. There were religious crosses, nuns, churches. There was most definitely a theme in Flevance’s religion about hope and the good in others, as the nun that Law sees says smth like, “There’s always a hand to help you.”

Flevance also had a high status of wealth (the whole diamond scheme) and the average cost of living/luxury of the average person was reasonably high. There vastly majority of the couple in Flevance were also probably traditionally monogamous, with one man and one woman.

I think if Law had grown up in Flevance his romantic interests would solely be focused on a female partner bc that would be the socially acceptable way and he wouldn’t view males in the perspective of a potential suitor. (Idk if this is recent interpretations of the Bible or not but it’s realistic to say that there would be stigmatism surrounding same sex couples in Flevance as most traditional believers of Christianity view same sex romantic relationships as ‘wrong ish’. At least where I live..)

However, the destruction of Flevance brought change to Law’s character and perception of love. Because of this and his loss of faith from this experience, I think adult pirate Law would be more willing to engage in a same sex relationship. (Would actually be a good writing moment made by Oda if it did happen imo but I digress)

I don’t ship LawLu, but I think Luffy is a real example of the type of person that could help Law heal and has aspects of what Law would need in a relationship. LawLu is good on a companionship/spiritual level imo but sexually/potentially romantically I do not see it at all being reciprocated by either Law or Luffy.

Just the fact someone like Luffy exists that had met Law is a good argument for Law being with a male, just not Luffy specifically.

Law’s significant other to me represents stability, safety, and humanity. This can manifest in people differently though so I don’t see him looking for something based on physicality.

Because of that I don’t see Law in canon having a preference between boy or girl for a partner. Perhaps a leaning towards female because that’s the traditional way of his hometown and in the One Piece world it seems like.

He’d need someone emotionally before he’d need them sexually imo, so if he found someone that worked for him and he was ready, that’s it no matter the gender.

Sexually he would probably be more attracted to females, and a lot of times sexual tension is mistaken for romantic tension but I don’t see Law acting upon either.

Hate to leave this discussion without giving u a definite answer anon but I just don’t think there is a definite answer yk.

My personal preference tho is him with a female because I see him falling for someone with a strong maternal presence. Yk little instincts and gestures they do towards him and the crew that sometimes make them sigh ‘okay mom’ while drawing out the ‘o’ in mom. Someone that reminds him of the feeling of safety and peace he felt as a kid in Flevance where his body wasn’t so tense all the time.

Hope u liked reading this and it helped u form ur own opinion on who you prefer Law with !

Monkey D Luffy; Windmill Village Headcanons pt1

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Didn’t have a permanent home. There was always a cycle of adults that would look after him but even then he was left unsupervised a lot. Would go weeks sleeping in the back of Makino’s bar or in the guest bedroom of the town mayor, whoever was the least busy at the time often would try to care for him.

Got a lot of free food from the town market. He never had any berri to pay them, and they were kind enough to spare a few apples.

No one in the village knows his mother nor his father. He just kind of..sprung up one day thanks to garp. (Garp doesn’t talk about dragon much and didn’t really make it clear that dragon was the father).

Worked a couple odd jobs, mainly cleaning and house work based. Earned a little bit of berri, but spent it immediately on food. Also always did a horrible job at whatever he was supposed to do.

There is a village school and the teacher there taught him how to read and write. There were hardly any children so on the rare days Luffy did attend he was given a good amount of attention.

Horrible academic learner. Could not care less. When it would get boring he would either cause a scene, leave, or take a nap. Went to school sometimes just to sleep peacefully.

His narcolepsy has left him waking up in some unusual places. Mainly because if he’s sleeping on the ground a villager commonly would take him and put him somewhere safe, the school or Makino’s.

His clothes are often given to him by the elder village members. Remnants of their children’s clothing that are still in tact. Luffy always does a little excited shuffle when he receives a new shirt.

Boasted about his scar under his eye when it properly healed to everyone. Every village member has heard the story of what happened three times over even if they stop entertaining him, he keeps talking.

Garp would sometimes go years without visiting. Luffy did miss him at first, before he began to associate Garp with pain and unhappiness and marine life.

Had very eccentric mood swings and sometimes only Makino would seem to understand what he was feeling. After a really bad night where he came screaming into Party’s Bar, Makino had comforted him until he felt better. He began to go to the bar when he would feel bad afterwards. (Either that or the forest yk)

Got into lots of brawls with mountain bandits. A lot of times no one would be there to help him during the tussles, he would come sniffling back to the village in search of first aid. Has gotten multiple talkings about not fighting, still continues to fight.

Roronoa Zoro; Pre Timeskip Headcanons

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Zoro’s father developed his love for swords training as early as Zoro can remember. His father didn’t teach him three sword style though.

Zoro’s father was a man that would travel for long periods before coming home to Shimotsuki Village (wandering is in the roronoa genes)

Zoro’s mother would comb Zoro’s hair with her fingers and it lulled Zoro into sleep instantly. He hasn’t had someone do that to him since she died but every time someone ends up putting their hand on his head for whatever reason, he starts to get droopy.

The first time he saw someone die was pirates attacking his village before his father fell in battle. Zoro remembers the anger and pain he felt when he saw his father get slain. The puddle of blood that dripped from him ran Zoro’s blood cold and he’s still not sure if it ever warmed back up.

His mother died of illness, but it was really heartbreak. Zoro could tell. Zoro didn’t want to watch anything like that again, someone deteriorating. It was the worst way to die to him.

After his mother died he went to the next village over. He did this to start anew and with a purpose for living; he didn’t want to waste away and die a nobody like his parents.

Kuina only practiced one sword style, but her father helped Zoro train in three sword style.

Zoro at first couldn’t hold a sword in his mouth, and ended up with a chipped tooth and a fractured jaw the first time he tried to fight Kuina legitimately with three sword style.

He got scolded by Kuina a lot after she would win their duels about his form and tactics.

Kuina was the first female friend Zoro ever had, and her proud nature ended up making Zoro a little nervous of all girls. (Bro blushes a lot even if he doesn’t mean to/doesnt feel anything)

Kuina’s death reminded him too much of his parents. He could save them, and he couldn’t save her.

When Kuina died Zoro went through a period where he couldn’t get through a training session without crying. One time it got so bad he ended up passing out and woke up 2 days later with the Master staring down at him worriedly.

From that point Zoro stopped crying and focused directly on improving his swordsmanship.

When Zoro left his village, he was actually chasing after a pirate that was threatening the town. He actually wasn’t ready to leave just yet on his search for Mihawk. He literally had traveled so far away he couldn’t find his way back.

As Zoro picked up the bounty hunter gig to earn some money and rest stops, he had no idea where Mihawk was. He was searching for him rather loosely. He would hear whispers and rumors, but still ended up as a bounty hunter for over two years.

He didn’t actually know that he had a reputation until he joined the Straw Hats. He knew that people feared him but he wasn’t aware of his title ‘Pirate Hunter’ because to himself he wasn’t a ‘pirate Hunter’ . Same goes for the ‘Demon of the East Blue’ name.

Zoro would either go long periods of talking to himself or not talking at all when he was a bounty hunter. He was isolated heavily during his travel.

Learned how to make food as a bounty hunter, a young boy he had saved from a pirate showed him how to cook some basics and start a fire.

Got his earrings at a gambling hub he walked into during his early days of traveling. They were actually a shit load of berri but the lady behind the counter said she would give them up for free if Zoro did some personal favors for her. He put his bag of all his berri on the counter stone faced after she said that. He got the earrings. She threw him out. He has never taken them out since.

Has been told by numerous broads that he’s a good looking guy, but always denied their advances. He wasn’t interested in sexual relations.

He only had sex once, and it was to a woman with fingers so cold he would flinch away. He was real drunk and she was a server at the bar he was in. He doesn’t remember anything other than the feel of her cold fingers in his hair and how a trail of crisp goosebumps followed her hands down his chest. (He doesn’t remember what she looked like, and he stopped trying to remember what fully happened pretty quickly)

Usopp and Kaya; Childhood Headcanons

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Usopp lives in the poorer, middle area of town while Kaya lives on the outskirts of Syrup Village. Because of this, Usopp would run an extra 10ish minutes everyday to get to her part of town to announce his daily pirate spotting.

Usopp didn’t tell anyone else in the village about how his mother’s passing affected him, but he told Kaya. It was the first time that he cried in front of her and she pulled him into her embrace through the window.

Usopp has tried multiple times to climb into the mansion only to be swatted away by Kaya’s staff. He’s only allowed in if Kaya explicitly states it.

Kaya was the only villager that gave Usopp any birthday presents. They were normally rustic nicknacks that were actually really expensive.

Kaya was Usopp’s only friend and Usopp was Kaya’s only friend for a very, very long time.

Usopp began crushing on Kaya first. It finally struck him as soon as he started feeling different when he would hear Kaya laugh at his stories. His belly would turn, his face would get hit, and his palms would get sticky.

Usopp has spent a total of 15 nights in Kaya’s mansion over their childhood years. Every time there would be a huge feast and Usopp would see more food then than he would for the next 6 months.

Usopp would daydream about Kaya often and create lists of stories to tell her in advance to pass the time.

Kaya had some of her staff start trimming the branches of the tree by her window very meticulously when Usopp began sitting up there.

Kaya was homeschooled, Usopp had free public education by the village’s librarian. Kaya would often teach him some academics and she accidentally got him obsessed with the idea of slingshots and engineering/mechanics.

Usopp never really liked Kaya’s staff because without her presence there they would treat as lesser than and it made him insecure. He brought it to her attention maybe twice before he saw how upset that made her because she loved her staff. She started staying by him more closely when they would stay at her mansion a little while after that.

Kaya actually developed a fear of the sea because although her parents’ health had been declining since Kuro had began working for them, they went on a sea trip and died while out on their voyage.

Because of her fear, Kaya never actually wanted Usopp to leave no matter how much he talked about sailing. She promised to herself to never try and hold him back though.

Kaya started liking Usopp only a year or two before he left with the Straw Hats. It was after puberty had matured them and she realized how attractive he was. (She already knew he had the personality, it’s Usopp he’s the best)

Kaya would tell Usopp about all the nightmares that she had, and Usopp would turn them into stories so they wouldn’t frighten her anymore.

Thanks for your answer (boy or girl for Law 😎). I totally agree with you 💯. Talking about a maternal type... what you think about Law x Robin? 👀❤️ As Robin also has a trauma do you think Law would get along better with so who also has emotional struggling?

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Trafalgar Law Type Thoughts: Nico Robin x Law?

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

There’s two parts of this discussion imo, Robin x Law specifically and then Law x person like Robin

Short answer, Law and Robin would never be possible. I say this because of the lack of interactions, the loyalty to their crew, and the difference in their crews’ proximity in general and goals.

I understand Robin’s character as calm, intellectual, inquisitive, and generous to name a few words. She is someone that enjoys understanding complex topics regarding history and personal relations, she wasn’t born a fighter but has grown from her experiences into a capable battler. She is nurturing to those she’s around and is protective of those she cares for.

These qualities in a person would work well with Law. Though Robin herself is different yk? I see Law respecting her as an ally and opponent-and they’re both aware that the other is interested in history- but considering they haven’t shared their intimate backgrounds with each other I don’t see anything more than that.

I also don’t think that Robin would be interested in Law. I feel like he overall is too much of a reserved individual for Robin. In my opinion Robin is one of those introverts that best flourishes and becomes more lively when surrounded by extroverts. This is one of the reasons I enjoy her dynamic with Franky and why I think they work so well as a pair/ship.

Imo, Law would best be paired with someone that is more outgoing and has a juvenile sense to them. Not like they’re childish, but they still have that childish love of life.

Not saying that Law wouldn’t work well with an s/o with trauma and emotional struggling, but through Law’s novel (I’m not done reading it yet guys..) Law personally makes it a point to present a controlled, calm, and reliable front for his friends so they know that he’ll take care of them to the best of his ability.

Law with someone who is like Robin, more calm, book smart, and has a traumatic past isn’t a bad thing or something that can’t happen. I actually think that of all the possible dynamics Law could have with his s/o this might be like top three.

It’s just not my personal preference yk? But that’s not too important to this discussion.

Law with someone who has a traumatic past is also a little wobbly in my mind because of the baggage that comes with any trauma. Not saying that his s/o has to have a perfect childhood, but if their whole home island got blown up by the navy there might be some layers that need to be peeled back that Law might not want to peel back..

It can be executed it just needs to be executed right, ykwim?

Ahh I think I answered you and gave some reasonings and context that seemed relevant in my mind but if I missed something that you thought of lemme know!

Or if u have a diff opinion on Law x Robin I’d like to read abt it lol
