Scary Dog Privilege (Zoro x Fem!Reader)
ー just a self-indulgent hcs where a protective zoro would absolutely do anything for u, even if it includes beating shitty men who would dare to even lay their hands on u.
also hi!!! it's been a while since i last wrote something. my asks are open if u want to chat or request something. ♡
cw: swearing, violence, attempts of harassment
Tumblr media
one thing that zoro loves are duels. whether it's a friendly spar or a full on fight with an enemy ー he always gives it his all with no mercy. he is competitive to a T. after all, he is the pirate hunter. his bounty speaks volumes, and he made a pledge to be undefeated in his journey to become a master swordsman.
there is one thing he despises the most though.
it's when these fights involve you.
he trusts that you can protect yourself, and that you can turn down advances from men.
you told him countless times that they don't interest you. and that it's best to just ignore those flirtatious remarks you get whenever it happens.
but it shouldn't happen when he's around.
because oh boy, would it cause a scene.
like when you're walking together around town on an island your crew docked into, and there's a festival going on.
you decide to wear a tight shirt and shorts. it hugged your body well, and it was comfortable enough to wear on a humid night.
he doesn't mind you wearing revealing clothing. hell, you can wear a bikini bra and jeans like nami does and he wouldn't care, unlike a certain love cook who would go crazy.
anyway, you would get passersby to look over your way.
then you'd hear men whistling at you.
then it escalates to drunk men approaching you and ogling at you.
except it was a futile attempt because zoro's already in front of you clutching one of his swords, glaring and ready to attack anytime.
"go ahead. shoot your shot."
"what the fuck do you want from her?"
"need something?"
"what the hell did you say?"
yeah. they're not walking home unscathed tonight.
in some instances, there would be pirates who would take interest on you, and they're willing to fight your boyfriend on the spot.
"oh? someone's offended here. fellas, should we beat him up?" one would say.
"go for it boss! take the girl as a prize too!" one of their crew agrees.
zoro doesn't waste time so that they won't utter another word again.
he doesn't even need to use haki to take them down. only one sword would do the job.
and while you appreciate him being protective over you, you assure him that you can defend yourself just fine.
you would definitely get into a small argument about it.
"zoro, i'm not weak you know. i can defend myself just fine." you say while cleaning a small cut he got from fighting a random creep attempting (poorly and miserably) to make a move on you.
"it's not that you're weak. just let me do my job as your partner."
"i know that but still-"
"if you want to keep entertaining them, just tell me and i'll stop."
"are you serious right now? i'm just telling you that i'm strong on my own too!"
"exactly. that's why i'm asking you that."
you both went back and forth for a while until someone from the crew breaks it up (probably nami or usopp).
at the end of the day, you'll end up in each other's arms and you'll be thanking him for being your loyal scary dog. ღ'ᴗ'ღ
"i thought you didn't like me fighting for you."
"never said that. shut up" you laugh, kissing him on his cheek and feeling him smiling at that.

End of the Day
Shanks x female reader
Summary: After rescuing Luffy from the pirates that caused trouble at the bar, Shanks seeks out medical aid.
Warnings: Spoilers for One Piece Live Action. Fluff
This is my first attempt at writing for Shanks so please forgive me if it's bad. Also, I have only seen the Live Action One Piece on Netflix so that's what I'm aiming for.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Please reblog and comment as it really means a lot to me. Thank you very much.
Please enjoy.
Tumblr media
The cluttering sounds behind her soon died down after a little while, soft rumbles of the sea brushing and lightly scraping against the support beams of the wooden docks and the rocks of land around them filled the air. [Name] stood in the same place she had done since Shanks left to find Luffy. The boy was reckless at times but he had a good heart, a good heart that Shanks had hope in.
Worry gnawed away at her chest, chewing relentlessly since the moment Shanks' rowboat disappeared from her line of sight. She was no stranger to the sea nor the dangers that lurked both beneath and on those waters. The sea was something to respect, in her eyes, as it could either offer you great riches and mercy or destroy everything you spent your life creating in one swift motion; leaving nothing to bury at home.
The light tap of her shoes against the wooden dock was muffled by the hissing waves as she paced back and forth, glancing up every couple of seconds as if the boat would appear out of thin air.
"Come on, Shanks. Please both you and Luffy be alright." She softly prayed, her hands tugging at a loose thread in her shirt, trying to find something to help ground herself and not be swept away in the anxious thoughts that whispered.
What if something happened? What if the bastard who took Luffy hurt him? What if there was a rouge wave or creature that took the boat down? What if-
Her thoughts came to a screeching halt as she spotted a speck in the distance. Something lurched inside of her, she grabbed her telescope and peered through it. Her grip shaking lightly but held its focus long enough for her to identify the speck. It was Shanks! He was alright. Relief flooded through her at the sight of his red-hair along with Luffy waving his arms frantically, shouting something incoherent.
Wasting no time, [Name] moved, rushing down the docks further to meet them as they would dock. The closer they got, the more that relief faded, replacing with that bitter concern again. From where she could see, Luffy was trying to row the boat, his movements a little clumsy but determined. Shanks was slumped backwards a bit,
"Help! Get help!" Luffy's voice became more clear the closer he got, stirring the attention of the other members of Shanks' crew. [Name] barely waited for the boat to come to a stop before she was already in it, moving to Shanks' side and looking him over.
"Shanks? Shanks, what happene-?" Her words were cut off at the sight of red on his left arm sleeve. His arm was missing entirely. Luffy clung to the back of her, wrapping his arms around her like she was a mother of sorts. Apologies spilled past his lips, mixed with sobbing.
"Get Shanks inside, now!" She ordered the others, her arm wrapped around Luffy's small, shaking frame in an attempt to comfort him. She would ask what happened later on, she just needed to make sure that both Shanks and Luffy were going to be okay.
The sun was dipping down below the horizon before [Name] was able to see Shanks. He had been patched up and was resting in his quarters on the ship. The man laid on his be, a damp cloth on his forehead to help and the bandages on what was left of his arm stained red. His shirt had been removed away, showing the other collection of scars he held on his body. Each one a brush with Death and yet he still stood.
"Hey, love." His voice pulled her from her thoughts, drawing a soft smile on her lips to hear his voice. Moving over, [Name] set herself on the edge of the bed beside him, her hand immediately seeking his out, interlocking their fingers together and gave a soft squeeze. "How's Luffy?"
"He finally stopped crying and he's fallen asleep, poor boy was distraught." she answered, her voice music to his ears as always. He could see the worry in her eyes with as much clarity as the sun on a cloudless day. He pulled his hand away from hers and reached up to her cheek, gently brushing his thumb along her skin and smiled.
"You okay?" She asked him, gazing down at him with such a loving expression, nuzzling against his touch. He chuckled softly at her question,
"Can't really feel my left arm." Shanks' chuckle grew louder at the look that flashed her face before he leaned backwards into the bed with that same smile she fell for.
"That's not funny, Shanks."
"Then why're you smiling?" He shot back at her, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her down to lay beside him. Her body heat more comforting and soothing than the sun could even come close to, and he savoured it at every opportunity he could. Her hand found place over his heart, feeling it beating in a steady rhythm, focusing on it to reassure herself. Shanks was alive. He was alright.
"[Name], it's just an arm." He whispered softly, using his other arm to pull her closer. He was right. At the end of the day, he was alive.

I've been thinking about how Ed starts directly killing people in s2e8. I've seen a lot of worry that this is tragic, that it's Ed falling back into a life he hates with more vigor, and I don't think it's meant to be understood that way at all.
I think it's a triumph.
One thing we absolutely have to understand: there has never been a time on the show when Ed wasn't killing people. That's true for all characters; this is a show about pirates. Even in s1, Ed was leading successful raids and ordering racists skinned. In a realistic sense, nothing has changed.
The difference is in how Ed does not need to construct intricate ways to distance himself from it anymore.
We know that Ed's first time killing was his abusive dad, an event that deeply traumatized him, and it left him thinking himself an absolute monster. His own capacity for violence disgusts and terrifies him, and even though he's been very successful in a very violent career, he needed to distance himself from killing people ("the fire killed those guys, not me") to avoid confronting this part of himself. He believes that the part of himself that is so capable of violence is irredeemable, a monster, unworthy of love.
Even at the start of the season, when Ed is in a self-destructive spiral, it's debateable if he's directly killing anyone. If Lucius had died, he'd probably have said the sea did it, not him. The guy we see him shoot during the raid sequence already had a knife through his chest - it's a step up, and surely meant to be understood as self-harm more than anything else, but that's still a mercy kill, if anything.
Compare to the finale of season 2. These are direct kills, there is no way to argue that Ed is not responsible. It is not debateable that Ed killed all those British officers.
A lot of the worry I've seen around this concern how Ed is going back to what he's good at (as Pop-Pop told him to), and there's an asusmption that that is killing people/violence. But that's not true, is it? Ed's never been good at killing people, his hangups around directly killing are a known character trait. So...what is Ed good at?
Think about how the scene plays out. Ed sees the Republic burning; he can only assume Stede is either captured, wounded, or dead. He's horrified and dazed, his ears ring - he kills the two British soldiers who happen upon him, he decided to fish up his Blackbeard outfit.
What is Ed actually good at? He's a good pirate, a good captain. He's good at keeping his crew safe, he's good at keeping Stede safe. He has to think he's either going to be embarking on a mission to get revenge or to save his boyfriend.
At first, I was very hesitant about the idea of Ed having to go back to piracy, which he says he hates. But what he was actually trying to do was drown Blackbeard, the part of himself he sees as so unworthy of love. He needed to see that Blackbeard is part of him, that he's not a monster or unloveable, that Blackbeard can help him save his friends and his boyfriend.
It's not a coincidencethat the show goes out of its way to make Ed's killing people in this episode as morally easy to accept as possible. The British officers we see are all racist and mean and unpleasant - like, damn, singing 'we shall never be slaves' while making Black characters serve them? Gross! They got what was coming to them! This is the 'racists deserve to die' show, after all.
And Ed uses this violence as a tool for love, to get him back to his boyfriend, to give them a triumphic reunion. I don't think it's a coincidence that this is when Ed tells Stede he loves him, either - he's come one step closer to accepting he's worthy of love, he's more ready to acknowledge what they have.
Ed doesn't have to feel bad about killing those officers. The show doesn't ask him to. He gets to retire while still wearing his Blackbeard outfit - Blackbeard gets to retire, not be drowned with a canonball in the ocean. And we're left with Ed, still with a lot of growing to do and a lot of self-discovery left, but he's closer to realizing that he's not a monster and that he's so deserving of love.

Adventures of the Darkest Witch Shelby. (1?)
For @emilynyaesmp.
Shelby was proud of being a dark witch and maybe that was a bit obvious for the few who knew her, but who wouldn't be in her place? A member of the shadow coven, group once founded a thousands year ago by the darkest and most evil witch in history: Gemini Tay of the Crystal Spikes. The coven had been behind most of the conflicts in recent years, and though very few outside of the magic community knew about them they were feared in the magic world. Now, she was ready to fulfill her destiny, ready to bring chaos and destruction to the newly built empires, nothing was going to stop her.
.
.
.
She had missed her alarm, she was going to be late. She had just been made an official witch in training, this was her first day, and she was late. The urge to turn the first stranger into a frog and boil them was strong... Yet a true witch always schemes and does not act on Impulse so She forced herself to breathe. This was fine, she had been sent to the most peaceful region to get rid of her... But she wasn't going to give up! She was going to bring disaster onto this land and claim the title of full fledged evil witch...she could hardly contain her excitement.
Shelby: "So this is it then? The Nevermore?"
It was spooky, dark and humid... she loved it already, this was going to be the perfect place to pratice her evil spells away from prying eyes... Yes, this was the perfect place to build a hut.
Shelby: "Perfect".
Now... to meet the emperors whose life she was going to ruin.
The first one wandered into her swamp, rookie mistake. She could smell his fear as he got lost... This was the perfect time to strike.
Joey: "Hello? HELLO? is anyone near? I have lost my way!"
Shelby: "Hello there?"
Joey: "H-Argggh matey"
A pirate? This far inlands? What a weird sight... still pirates were group to fear, also bringers of chaos ... Maybe she could wait a bit before turning him into a bug abd smashing him with her boot.
Shelby: "A pirate? Come to steal my things? You can't. They are mine. I have toads."
Still better to make sure he wouldn't try anything funny-.
Joey: "Oh no no no! I'm just glad someone came to help me!"
...What? No that wasn't why she had come to him when she heard his screams, he had gotten it all wrong.
Joey: "Right, I am pirate Joe."
Shelby: "Shelby...witch".
Joey: "I heard there was someone you! I never met a good witch before!"
And he thought she was a good witch? How dare he? She was close to just turning him into a frog, possible alliances unregarded.
Joey: "Ever since the skeleton army sank my ship I have been exploring these lands in search of others that could bring the undead army down for good"
An army of skeletons sank his ship? Shelby had a brilliant idea to torture him, she summoned a skeleton so that his final moment would remind him of what he had lost... The result of that however was ...small and the pirate quickly destroyed it.
Joey: "Oh thank you!"
... Why was she being thanked?
Joey: "You heard my story and created a small skeleton for me to vent a bit of my frustration at! That helped a bit, so thank you new friend!"
No! No! That wasn't what she meant to do! How did this happen!? She knew what she had to do, trow a fireball at him.
.
.
.
She missed and hit a bunch of trees which upon burning left a visible opening to the outside.
Joey: "Oh! Is that the way out? Thank you witch friend! See you soon!"
And with that he left... Shelby was counfounded now, how had this gone badly this quickly? This wasn't supposed to happen! She was an evil witch! She was going to scream!
She decided to spy on the other emperors, someone had opened the end portal and she was ready to take the credit for herself, that would surely brew fear and terror in the hearts of those foolish rulers ... She could already hear the pleas for mercy.
She stayed near and soon it was time, she jumped in little after the rulers and found herself in the nether when-
Joey: "Oh It's the good witch I met earlier!"
Lizzie: "Oh! Why is she here though?"
Joey: "She must have come in to help. She is a good witch after all."
No, no, not again! Why did this keep happening! She wasn't meant to- Fine, she was going to go along with this charade if only to make the suffering end quicker.
The end was in short a bust, the bad kind, still she had learned something from it. She had learned the identity of all other emperors and she ... She was scared. She wasn't ready to seeing a god glowing in divine light and she wasn't ready to see the coldhearted dictator called empress Katherine with them. She knew her, everyone did, born from a cursed kindom and powerful conquerer with an iron fist. She was a fan and yet... She was scared at the idea of being her enemy, she needed to contact her and work together. Yes, the distraction their alliance could bring... Even the god would be unable to do anything!
... In the meantime though she would prepare potions for the future, you never know when you'll need more toads.

So... Anyone else headcanon Buggy as Vivi's long lost uncle?
No? Just me? Okay... 🥹
Disclaimer: Do I actually believe this is canon? No. But do I want it to be? Yes.
My reasoning for this is fairly simple:
Blue hair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Click on the "Keep reading" below for a bunch more nonsense on how I think this could actually work...
---
I did my math, and King Cobra is about eleven (11) years older than Buggy — which is a pretty big age gap but we're not focusing on him — we're focusing on his wife, Titi, who Vivi is apparently the spitting image of.
Queen Titi is the one responsible for Vivi's blue hair, and thus she is the one who I'm headcanoning Buggy to be related to.
And, as it is entirely common for couples to have age gaps of a few years or so... Titi can help to close that afformentioned age gap.
Whereas King Cobra might be eleven years older than Buggy, it's not unreasonable to assume that Titi could've been five or so years younger — shortening the siblings' age gap to a measly five or six years — which is not nearly as unreasonable!
Hell, we might as well throw Franky in there as well! He's got similarly blue hair and he's only three years younger than Buggy!
I last looked up these ages like a day or two ago so here's hoping I didn't remember any wrong!
Now, how could they be related if they all grew up in such different places?
Answer: Their parents are unknowns! For all three of them!
If I'm remembering right, Franky's parents were said to have been pirates who abandoned him.
Buggy's parents are a complete unknown since, unlike Shanks, Oda hasn't told us anything about how he wound up on the Rogers' ship.
And Titi? We don't know much about her at all.
So it is entirely possible that Franky wasn't the only kid his parents abandoned...
Not to mention that Alabasta and Water 7 are fairly close to one other.
And we have no idea where Buggy is originally from, but "somewhere in the Grand Line" is a pretty safe estimate.
So. One wound up in Alabasta, another in Water 7, and the third got picked up by Gol D. Roger himself.
Water 7 has a lot of incoming and outgoing ships, right? So it's not that hard to believe that they all could've been abandoned there originally, but two wound up on outgoing ships...
Titi, the oldest, snuck aboard a ship bound to Alabasta as a stowaway.
Buggy, the middle child, got kidnapped by Roger who pointed at him and said, "Is anybody gonna take this?" And then didn't wait for an answer.
And Franky, the youngest, never left in the first place.
---
Edit: OK, so I checked out Franky's backstory and here's how it apparently went:
Cutty Flam, originally born in the South Blue, was yeeted by his pirate parents at a young age — literally. Those jerks actually threw him off their ship and into the water — for some godforsaken reason.
He was then rescued by Tom the Fish-Man, legendary shipwright.
At some point Tom saw Cutty assemble a cannon out of scrap metal, and after that he decided to take him on as an apprentice.
Iceberg, Tom's other apprentice, decided to nickname him "Franky" because apparently "Cutty Flam" is too weird a name. Pot, meet kettle.
And that's all the relevant info.
---
Hmm... Now what can we do with this?
Well, if his parents were just yeeting kids off the ship as they go... That makes things a lot easier, actually.
How did they end up on different islands, all split up? Easy! Their shitty parents were literally just yeeting them off the ship whenever.
First one to get yeeted got picked up by a ship returning to Alabasta, who took mercy on the innocent child and brought them home. (Maybe it was the royal family returning from the Revelry? That could explain how Cobra and Titi first met...)
The second child to get yeeted was rescued by Roger and his crew, who conveniently were already on the hunt for a playmate for their first child — Crocus and Rayleigh were very insistent that it's extremely important for a child's development for them to have friends their own age growing up...
The third child got yeeted somewhere in the vicinity of Water 7, and was saved by Tom; His story after that follows canon.
---
Why were they yeeted in different locations and at different times, you ask? My answer: Consider their ages.
I don't know what kind of scumbag pirates yeet their own children to their supposed deaths, but perhaps it's the same kind who have children for nefarious reasons...
Perhaps they had some kind of use for a young child — fake hostage? bait? tax break?! — but once they reach a certain age... Suddenly, the kid's not so useful anymore.
And so they get dumped, just in time for their asshole parents to give birth to a new heir.
And rinse and repeat...
And so we got Titi, and Buggy, and Franky — all born a handful of years apart and dumped in different locations after they were no longer useful for their parents' schemes.
---
INFO:
-
Titi (Titi) - Age ??? - ティティ
Buggy (Bagii) - Age 37/39 - バギー
Cutty Flam (Kati Furamu) aka Franky (Furankii) - Age 34/36 - カティ・フラム aka フランキー
-
Age gap between Buggy (37/39) & Nefertari Cobra (48/50): 11 years
Age gap between Buggy (37/39) & Franky (34/36): 3 years
Age gap between: Franky (34/36) & Nefertari Cobra (48/50): 14 years
-
If we give Buggy & Titi the same age gap as Franky & Buggy then Titi would've been 40 pre- and 42 post-timeskip, a total of eight (8) years younger than Cobra. Not unrealistic at all!
Then again, she was their first child so it's entirely possibly they held off longer before giving in and having another child to replace her — not because they cared about her, but because they would've been reluctant to have to start all over again with raising another noisy, annoying baby, and would've preferred to keep running the scam with her, seeing as she was already trained and fairly self-sufficient.
So maybe she's a little older. A year or two perhaps? That would be one year to dilly-dally, and one year for the new kid to be born.
Let's make it a total of three extra years: two years they spent convinced they could get the scam to continue working even as she got older, and then the one year it took for them to have baby Buggy after they gave up hope.
So that makes Titi six years older than Buggy, nine years older than Franky, and five years younger than Cobra.
If she had been alive during canon events, she would've been 43 years old pre-timeskip and 46 years old post-timeskip.
---
Drabble:
As the first and oldest, Titi was well aware of her parents intentions to replace her.
And while as a child her first priority was to survive... As she got older and eventually had her own daughter, she might've found herself wondering about her possible siblings...
What happened to them?
How many were there?
Were they still alive?
Had they been dumped and abandoned as well?
Where were they now?
...And could she find them?
Late at night she would have trouble sleeping, frequently thinking of the other children like her that she never got the chance to meet...
Her husband, Nefertari Cobra, would notice and ask her what was troubling her, and she would confess her regrets...
And Cobra, sweet and kind man that he is, would promise to do his very best to find her siblings for her.
And later, when she passed, he never stopped looking.
Until, one day...
---
Oh, and before I forget:
You're probably thinking something along the lines of, "but there are a bunch more characters with blue hair! What about them?"
I hear you, and my response is this:
Not like this. Sure, Buggy and Vivi's hair aren't colored exactly the same — but compared to everyone else with blue hair? The only ones that get close are Franky (who I actually ended up slipping into this headcanon) and Kyōshirō, who...I don't even know what was going on with him honestly, but he definitely doesn't count.
(And even past the hair color, there's also the similar texture and shape that becomes extremely apparent when Buggy and Vivi have their hair styled the same way — as shown clearly in the images above...
I mean, they've got the same waves and everything! For god's sake, even their hairbands are nearly identical! Like, c'mon!
Coincidence? I think not!)

Five Captains | J.W.
Tumblr media
Summary: Jay tells Y/N the reasoning behind his scars. Smut. 18+.
Author's Note: May make a mini series about the five captains. 🤷‍♀️ Debating.
Thanks @bullet-clubs-bitch for the use of the photo. ❤️
Tag List: @plentyoffandoms @mrsarcherofinfamy
"Don't," Jay ordered the moment Y/N's fingers went to touch the self-inflicted slashes on his chest. His grip on her wrist was not tight enough to hurt her, but enough to express the seriousness of the situation. "I can think of other places you can touch me,"
He led her hand down his body. Her fingertips barely gliding over his chest and stomach before stopping at the top of his pants. Y/N rolled her eyes and stared in his eyes.
"In due time, my love. The legends about you intrigue me," she assured him.
"The legends of a cruel captian should not intrigue that of a lady,"
"Well, this one warms the Captain's bed every night. As such, she is allowed to be intrigued," she reminded him sternly. He went to open his mouth, yet the look in her eyes silenced him. There was no winning against this one.
Jay grabbed her hand and kissed the top of it. Very slowly, he played with her fingers. No one had ever been allowed to touch them before. He closed his eyes and sighed. Her palm placed flat against the self-inflicted marks.
Once he relinquished control of her hand, the tip of her index finger traced them. He looked away from her gaze. Y/N traced the slashes softly. Worried that if she pressed too hard that she would hurt him or anger him.
"I gutted four of them like a trout. Left them to swim in Davy Jones' locker. Each and every one that left me on that island with nothing but a single bullet," he spoke. The captain made a gun symbol with his fingers. Bart, Miguel, Benito, and James. The bullet I saved for the Bastard. He pleaded for mercy, but there was none,"
The Captain's chambers fell into an uneasy silence. His eyes glazed over. Mind raced as he relived the painful memories in his mind. Those men deserved it. Every single hurt they felt before the sweet relief of death took them.
"They got what they deserve for what they did to you. Look at you now. The strongest captain in the Caribbean," she reassured him. She stood up and stared into his pained eyes. Her fingers ran through his brown locks before resting on his cheek. Jay leaned into the touch. His worries melted away.
The pirate cursed and crashed his lips on hers. He scooped her onto the bed. She scooted back, allowing him to crawl on top of her. Her eyes fluttered close the moment their lips met again. Jay kissed down her cheek to her neck.
"Jay," she breathed. He grabbed her dress. His fingers rose the fabric until it bunched around her waist. Jay looked at her for permission. She nodded quickly as if no was even an option for her. Y/N could never deny him.
Jay disappeared from her view. His head was covered by the dress. Soft kisses and bites covered her inner thighs. They went lower and lower until. She called out his name the moment his tongue connected to her core. Y/N bit her lip and turned her head to the side. His skilled tongue changed movements to keep her on edge.
He stood on his knees and lowered his pants. Jay positioned himself at her entrance. As he thrusted inside of her, his lips devoured hers. Her moan was hushed by him.
"Easy, love. I am the only one who can make you feel like this, so I'm the only one that can hear your need for me," he whispered harshly in her ear. His thrusts shook the bed against the wall. She scratched his back earning her a sharp hiss. Her moans and whimpers turned him on more. Y/N was his, all his.
Her face, neck, and chest flushed the moment she reached climax. All the tensions of ocean life were temporarily forgotten. He stilled inside of her the moment it was his turn. They both stared at each other as they caught their breath.
Y/N leaned in and kissed him. "Thank you, my captain,"

I decided to write an alternate ending to Spandam confronting Doflamingo. The thrilling conclusion to the Spandam fucks around and finds out trilogy.
Warnings for violence, body horror, torture, death, and Doflamingo using his devil fruit in egregious ways.
Warlord meetings could be mildly amusing and entertaining to a point. An opportunity to annoy other warlords and Sengoku or terrorize some lowly marines was a grand old time in Doflamingo's book.
Today was not one of those days where he could enjoy such trivial pleasures. He had too much on his mind. He didn't want to be here at all and only showed up on the off chance that they might let slip some information he wants. Much to his chagrin, nothing of note came from the meeting. His dear niece wasn't mentioned once.
With his mood already sour, he didn't care enough to turn around when he heard someone behind him yelling. No one here would dare to speak to him that way, so he knows it's not for him, and thus not important.
At least that's what he thought until someone grabbed the bottom of his coat and yanked on it.
A vein bulged in his forehead and an eye twitched. Whoever was stupid enough to do this wasn't going to be around long enough to do it again.
Doflamingo whipped around with an unnaturally wide smile on his face, ready to see who had just volunteered themselves to be some prime stress relief for him.
Far beneath him was a pathetic whelp of a man that he had recently become familiar with through his investigating. Spandam was glowering up at him with stiff posture enforced by the brace around his torso. It would appear that he's graduated from using a wheelchair. Such a shame that he won't be able to enjoy that for long.
Stooping down, Doflamingo leered at the man, "What do you want?"
"You know exactly what I want!" Spandam snapped at the warlord with a shocking level of confidence given that he didn't have so much as a single Cipher Pol guard dog with him. "I know that you know where Nubia is."
Much to Doflamingo's absolute chagrin, Spandam was wrong. Despite his best efforts, even he had been struggling to track her down. Those Straw Hat Pirates moved awfully quick, he'll give them that. As soon as he thought he had them, they were popping up somewhere else entirely. But Spandam didn't need to know this. Doflamingo chuckled, "And if I do?"
Spandam was visibly incensed by the response. His lip curled up into a snarl, "You need to disclose anything and everything you have on her to me! She is a wanted fugitive, and I'll see to it that you lose your warlord privileges if you're hiding her!"
The threat was completely empty. A Cipher Pol Chief didn't have authority over who was and wasn't a warlord. Even if he did, Doflamingo wouldn't care. He was powerful enough to not need the protection granted by the status.
Doflamingo laughed loudly, relishing in the palpable anger on Spandam's face. "I have nothing to tell you."
"Do you have any idea what that little demon did to me?!"
"Oh, yes. I'm very aware. I've never been so proud." Doflamingo chuckled as he recalled first reading the leaked medical records that he got a hold of. Truly, he didn't think Nubia had that in her, but it was a very pleasant surprise. It only made him want to have her under his care more.
Spandam was seething and noisily grinding his teeth. The ones he had left, at least. "Proud? Proud?! We'll see how proud you are when I've gotten my hands on her and reduced her to a screaming, sniveling brat begging for the mercy of death! And I w-!"
The tangent was cut short as Doflamingo forced his strings through Spandam's lips and pulled them tight. Muffled screams came out of his victim as he clawed at his mouth, desperate the pull out the strings. Even with his mouth sewn shut, his screams were surprisingly loud. It would be a shame if he anyone heard this and tried to cut the fun short...
Carefully manipulating his strings, Doflamingo forces them down Spandam's throat and into the laryn. He scream and writhes in pain, before being silenced when the strings wrap around the vocal cords and squeeze them tight.
Finally, Doflamingo was seeing the terror that he had been craving. He could tell that Spandam was putting together that Doflamingo had no intention of killing him quickly.
Doflamingo grabbed him by the brace and wrenched him up off the ground, noting how the man's eyes roll back from the pain of having his already severely damaged spine jostled violently. How cute. It was about to get so much worse.
Strings tapped into his spine, but instead of stopping there, he pushed them in deeper. Spandam flailed and tried to reach behind himself to pull them out, but that was put to rest quickly with the help of the parasitic strings taking control of his arms and forcing them to grab onto the two bars at the back of the brace instead. And pull.
The vocal cords were vibrating intensely from within his clutches, but were unable to make a sound. His strings slithered down the spinal column, wrapping around each and every vertebrate and searching for the broken ones. This was easy enough given that the metal rods stuck out like a sore thumb.
Doflamingo's grin split across his face and he brought Spandam up just enough to be at eye level with him, "What was it that you were going to do again? Reduce Nubia to 'a screaming, sniveling brat begging for the mercy of death'? That's what you said, yes?" Doflamingo paused as if Spandam could actually answer, mostly just to humor himself.
A malicious laugh crackled out of him as he saw the pleading desperation in Spandam's eyes grow more and more frantic. Doflamingo sneered at the pathetic display and ground out one last sentence, "If you're going to make threats, you need to be strong enough to face the consequences of them."
With that said, the strings tighten around the metal rods in his spine and rip. Them. Out. The bones they were once embedded in crack and shatter in response, and he can feel broken blood vessels soaking the strings. Spandam's body flails wildly for a few seconds, then jerks violently.
Without even touching the heart, Doflamingo can feel the cardiac arrhythmia clearly. The heart's rhythm couldn't regulate itself, not with the the strain it was under. Abruptly, it stopped, unable to cope with what it was being forced to endure.
Spandam's body spasmed a few times, then went limp. Doflamingo scoffed and dropped the dead body to the ground. Of course this weak coward would go into cardiac arrest and die just when things were getting interesting.
Still... Doflamingo couldn't deny that he felt much better now after blowing off some steam. How grand that the CP9 Chief had one moment of usefulness in his life.
The warlord turned on his heels and to resume the walk back to his ship, leaving the body to be discovered by whomever happens upon it first.

I've got a lot of ideas in my head while reading One Piece. My post schedule can't keep up with these ideas 😔.
Well I'm going to keep posting everyday then 😁, is the solution 👍🏻😉.
So this time I'm sharing a realization on my part as I observe Zoro and Robin when I read One Piece. So this is a Zorobin post if you don't like it skip it because this post is for those who ship Robin and Zoro or for those people whose brains are being tickled.
Within the Zorobin community, we know that Zoro has saved Robin a couple of times. But we must also keep in mind that Zoro has also saved the other strawhats as well whether they be weak or strong.
This is also the reason that the antis use "Because Robin is a member of strawhats so he will save her" and this reason is also true.
Zoro would never be worried about them (in battle) since he believes in them except maybe at the Alabasta arc where he was actually worrying about Nami (which at the time she has minimal fighting ability and can't take a stronger opponent unlike the Nami now).
Regarding the statement above he doesn't worry about Robin because he knew that Robin might not be as strong as them (the monster trio) but he knew she is strong and can take an opponent.
But why do this? (I really want to do the chef's kiss 😎)
Tumblr media
All of them were dealing with a lot of enemies right? Be it a minion or an officer it is still an enemy. In my delulu mind I've got this thought as a headcanon that Zoro was actually paying attention to Robin and to her surroundings.
But let's also say that he might have noticed the commotion around Hyouzou and the fact that Hyouzou was a swordman too.
Tumblr media
But why wait for Hyouzou to attack Robin 🤔. Unless my headcanon is actually right. Some also say that Robin can't take Hyouzou on. Are you sure?
Tumblr media
Because for me with how fast the mind can Robin think she would have probably spawned somewhere because remember this?
Tumblr media
I have also observed this at Punk Hazard. Though subtly but if you have look at it panel by panel then you will notice this.
Tumblr media
This is before when they met the dragon. The four of them were actually gawking at the giant bone which is on their front. Notice how Zoro was actually ahead of Robin?
Then take a look at this as well.
Tumblr media
Notice how they actually turned around when they noticed a loud noise behind them and realized that it was a dragon.
Then looked at this.
Tumblr media
How come that he's now in front of Robin 🫠 (let me melt as well). I also took note that for every battle Zoro would reach out first for Shusui but in this panel he actually reached for Kitetsu.
If you actually go back to Eines Lobby (this might be a delusion but I had to share it). Zoro used the sandai kitetsu to attack Lucci. He temporarily lost it when he was stuck in the chimney, like also lost Robin temporarily in that arc.
Plus I have this gut feeling that Sandai Kitetsu is very special. There is also a theory that Sandai Kitetsu was an inheritance that Zoro's grandmother had inherited from her father and she passed it down to Zoro's father which was lost when the pirates attacked them. After all Sandai Kitetsu is a sword that came from Wano.
But before we could get side tracked, I must persist to continue. The fact that he was reaching for Kitetsu is like an instinct and this is also probably the same for protecting Robin. It's already ingrained in his very being it's his instinct.
You know Zoro is all about "gender equality" right? The fact that he actually attacked miss monday and showed no mercy 😁. But there are times when Zoro has a soft heart as well remember the nun and the kid he used the back of his swords.
He would also save a defenseless woman like Hiyori and protect a kid like Rika and attack a celestial dragon to protect a wounded man (he would literally save any innocent and defenseless person in my opinion). His gender equality only applies in battle and fighting.
So why protect Robin when he knew Robin could handle it. My headcanon before can also be supported by this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's not only paying attention to her but he's also paying attention to her surroundings.
Whew, 😓 this is really long. But I can't help it I am an INTP. I had to go deep or else my mind won't be satisfied. My intuitive mind is grinding its gears, this gut feeling I have every time I see them and the fact that my mind can see invisible threads means that they have this deep connection that my emotionless heart can't explain.
The need to study them further is what I should do.
I will post again tomorrow but it might not be a Zorobin post.
Well lots of ��💚⚔️🌸
For you.

"If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, I will be a very fulfilled man indeed."
Babe. BABE! You cannot drop that line and NOT expect me to burst into tears.
Readmore of Sarah's live takes on the newest Bridgerton season:
Bisexual Benedict Bridgerton supremecy. No seriously, BISEXUAL BENEDICT BRIDGERTON!!!!!!!!! I nearly screamed, y'all
Phillipa Featherington Finch is the most adorable woman on the planet, I will die on that hill, I love her, your honor.
Ngl, I really feel for Cressida. I was really hoping for a Lady Danbury/Cressida runaway parallel, but alas. Also WHAT was with the Mrs. Cowper BEEF with the Bridgertons, damn??? Also Also: what happened to the nature lord from pt1 of the season? Surely he wouldve shifted his attention back to Cressida right?? But no, poof. He gone
The women this season SO FUCKING PRETTY, I CANNOT HANDLE THIS ASFLSKSH KATE, HELLO??? PEN?? ELOISE??? ALICE??? SHOW ME A WOMAN IN THIS SHOW I WOULDN'T SWOON FOR, STARS HAVE MERCY.
Colin needs more color in his wardrobe in the last few episodes, dangnabbit. Blacks and browns are all well and good, but he deserves to slay during his season, especially during the climax ball!!! Give him a colored shirt, a pattered vest, SOMETHING! Also: Show me more FOB Pirate Colin please and thank you
Alice, you go queen! Slide right into society and have them all chasing YOU to come to their brunches. Hell yeah. I just KNOW Danbury is setting the Mondritch's up to slide into her place as the rule breakers/trendsetters of society events
Pen's breasts are spilling out of every dress she wears. Im not saying that's a PROBLEM, I'm just saying as a fellow perfect breasted woman, I know from experience that her dresses are too small around the bust for her body. Theyre not custom made, they were ordered, then tailored to fit her - but wardrobe didn't account for the extra give around the chest, so the dresses are squeezing as tightly across as possible, it CANNOT be comfortable. Very common problem for us short curvatious women. Sexy as hell though, 11/10 very distracting
That settee sex scene?!? The mirror??? The strip tease?!?!? Please have mercy, I'm only human
Francesca and John are so FUCKING ADORABLE I cant help but squeal every time they're together. I too want to go off with a sweet adorable husband to go live in a gorgeous castle in Scotland
Eloise is so pretty, but I just gotta say it, I HATE her wardrobe. It looks neither comfortable, nor very pretty, nor very flattering. Are they purposefully trying to make her look youger to stave off her romance/season? It's the only explanation I can come up with for those atrocious bows at the necklines
Now FRANCESCA'S wardrobe does a PHENOMENAL job of both being very pretty and nailing her characterization compared to the women around her. I LOVE the accented, high necklines.
I loved the inky hands, cool detail to pull out
And just to loop back around once again, BISEXUAL BENEDICT BRIDGERTON!!!!
I audibly said "OH SHIT" when Pen turned away from the print shop to find Colin. 'Whoop, there it is'
Ben's affirmation to Eloise about love not being finite, and the implication that just because Pen and Colin love each other, it doesn't cheapen the relationship El has with each of them individually really got to me man. I cried.

Promptober 1
@seasaltandcopper and I are collabing thru promptober! Today we did something for Mal/Lyra in their Starfield AU :3
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Things had been going smoothly for days, so naturally they were overdue for some trouble. It found them in a shitty little spacer bar set up in independent space, a semi-popular haven for smugglers, pirates, and fugitives, and the closest port to rest and ressupply before crossing into Freestar space.
If Mal had bothered to look closely, he probably would've spotted a few familiar faces in the scattered crowd. He didn't.
Save the festering grudges and trips down memory lane for after he had a couple drinks in him.
Well. That had been the plan anyway.
"Hey," a voice slurred, somewhere to Mal's right. "Hey, I know you."
Pointedly refusing to look at the man, and hoping that would be enough hint to shoo him away, Mal ordered a drink. "No, you don't."
"I do," the spacer insisted. "I know her too."
"No ye don't." Lyra replied, lip curling as she set her drink down. "Cause if ye did, ye wouldn't be damn fool enough to run her gob about it."
The bartender set Mal's drink down in a small, grubby looking glass, and he snatched it up before the liquid had a chance to settle. He tossed it back, grimaced, and signaled for another.
Maybe the booze would put him in a more charitable mood. Or at least dull his nerves before this asshole got on every last one of them.
The spacer scoffed. So much for taking the hint. "Nah, I'd never forget a mouth like that." Somehow the line managed to sound both derisive and leering in a way that made Mal's skin crawl. "And you better mind it, bitch, or I'll slice those pretty cocksucking lips right off your face, I don't give a damn who you've cozied up to this time."
Leaning back in her chair to assess him, Lyra cocked her head with a faint scowl. "Y'know what. I do remember you, too." 'Cocksucking' lips pulled up into a lurid smirk as she batted her eyelashes.
He glanced back to his friends at a table across the room. Lyra's eyes slipped after, counting them. Weighing her chances. He grinned savagely, "'Course ye do, I'm —"
"You had the smallest, purplest balls I'd ever seen in me life. I thought ye were a eunuch or somethin'." She flung her whiskey at him. "They grew in a bit an' you 'aven't learned t'manage 'em yet? Or are ye just compensatin' for it?"
Okay, so maybe diplomacy was never an option.
The spacer spluttered as he took most of a glass of whiskey to the face. He yelled something. His buddies, sitting a few tables over, also yelled something. Chairs scraped. A couple patrons lifted their heads, curious or cautiously excited about the free show.
Mal drew his pistol from its side holster and shot the guy.
Just once. And because Mal was feeling merciful, it was the knee and not the spacer's tiny little purple nuts. The guy dropped, howling in pain and clutching his leg, before he could do more than dream about taking a swing at Lyra.
"This guy bothering you, honey?" Mal interjected wryly, taking advantage of the brief shock in the aftermath. "I can shoot him again if you want."
She considered it. But he wasn't looking particularly threatening, curled up on the ground like a pillbug muttering curses. A keen assessment of his friends told her they were startled now, but they weren't very good at math. "Nah. Y'can shoot them though, if ye like." She answered, leaning over to lilt in his ear, "Might 'ave t'give ye somethin' special fer the trouble."
He hummed, lip tugging up at the corner. The way her breath tickled the shell of his ear had all the hairs on the back of Mal's neck rising, and the honey-promise in her voice had other things rising, too.
Well, that was one way to cure a bad mood without the booze.
"Sure," Mal answered, reaching down to brush a gentle hand up Lyra's thigh, still making direct eye contact with the thug on the ground as if to say, see, dumbass, that's how you do it. "It'd be my fucking pleasure."

Hello good and generous Senpai!! I hope loadshedding eased by you, as it did by us :) if senpai has a moment to spare.... And would grace us with their amazing writing skills of perhaps a Killer Hard Dom x Reader? 👉👈 Thank you! Keep up the amazing work💖
Aw shucks when senpai calls me senpai it really hits different. You got me feeling all bashful and stuff 🤭 Its been such a long wait and I apologise dearest senpai, hope you enjoy ^^
NSFW Scenario: Hard Dom! Killer x F! Sub! Reader - A Hard Brat to Tame.
(Female Pronouns) 
Warning: NSFW {Dom/Sub dynamics, Spanking, Fingering, Oral, Mating Press, Doggy, Punishment, Bondage (kind of), Orgasm Denial, Body Worship.} 
Word Count: 3,006 words
Tumblr media
🍜 Killer 🍜
“Looks like fun, can I join in?” {Name} mused, her hands perched on the arm of a stranger who dealt the cards for this game. Killer twitched uncomfortably at seeing how close and flirtatious she was acting with a complete stranger. Her smug little glaces accompanied by a smirk told Killer that she knew exactly what she was doing in trying to make him jealous. He had been dealing with her acting like a brat the entire day and struggled immensely to keep his patience and composure even in the face of her obvious provocations. Despite his multiple instances of what some may call mercy, she refused to cease her warpath. 
{Name} had complained about being neglected by Killer, it wasn’t the case and she knew it. She delivered the practiced sob story and he could only muster a sigh on every repeat. The real story without any of her choice embellishments is a simple situation of Killer rejecting her advances the previous night because he wanted some well deserved rest. Being the usual brat {Name} is, she expected a snap of her fingers to make Killer pamper and please her. Sometimes he was kind enough to indulge these exorbitant demands, other times he put his foot down and disciplined some sense into her. This was one of those times where she wanted to be pampered, and Killer, who had spent an entire day fighting and running around with the crew trying to keep the peace or letting hell break loose just wanted a rest after. 
Killer now suffered {Name’s} ‘wrath’, and her revenge came in the form of taunts, jeers and repetitive prodding. Anything in her arsenal she could use to intentionally irritate him, she used. Now Killer sits, gripping his tankard tightly while seeing {Name} hang on the arms of strangers who obviously ogled her. 
Hours passed, and they were back at the ship. The crew sat around some talking, some drinking, others passed out and a few sat around the table trying to master a new gambling game. Killer was the reliable one who remembered all the rules and was teaching the others to play. {Name} sauntered over to the table where Killer was sitting. She asked the table if she could fetch more drinks. Her smile seemed friendly on the surface, yet Killer couldn’t stop his feelings from building. He offered to help her carry the drinks and excused himself from the table. He stops {Name} in her tracks, “Behave yourself.” Killer lowered his voice and sounded threatening. She just smiled at him, whipping around as she strutted back to the table of half drunk pirates. 
An utmost act of defiance, she persisted with her disobedience. Finally Killer had enough and his patience snapped. He walks over to the table, “{Name} my room, now.” He demands. She scoffed and ignored him. Killer shook his head, he lifted her easily and threw her over his shoulder, taking long strides through the ship to go towards his cabin. He didn’t care about all the odd or knowing stares that came their way. {Name} kicked up a fuss about being carried like this, of course in her mind she was more than happy to finally get the reaction she wanted out of Killer. 
Despite her various complaints and protests, Killer would not relent. He arrived at the last stretch and finally had enough of the bratty attitude. He clicks his tongue. SMACK. He spanked her, hard. A surprised yelp fell from {Name} who seemed so shell shocked at the sudden spank, she settled quietly without any further fuss now seeing how serious Killer is. He typically would have given a warning first, and a little more leeway. Considering the extent of her behavior he realized he had been far too lax.  
Killer walked inside his room and kicked the door closed behind him. He set {Name} on her feet and combed his fingers through her hair. “I hope, for your sake, you’ll behave and take your punishment like a good girl.” Killer’s voice sounded sweet, even with the phrasing it was not a hard insistence, he told her to behave and nothing else. Even though her pride wanted to fight against him more, the atmosphere suggested that he would not be messed with any further. {Name} shut her mouth and agreed. Killer smiles slightly under his mask, “Take your clothes off and have a seat on the bed.” He instructed. She did as she was told and looked up at Killer, he looked down at her both in the figurative and literal sense. The way he towered over her made him seem so daunting and intimidating. 
Internally she cheered seeing how commanding and straightforward Killer is acting, he may have called it punishment but he is giving her exactly what she wanted. Oh poor {Name}, she is so very mistaken. Killer cradled her face with his hands lovingly, before moving them down to her neck, “Is this what you wanted? Me to touch you?” He probed for an answer. “Yes, I want it.” {Name} responded quickly, enjoying the light touches of his hands on her body, he pulled away abruptly. “Then touch yourself.” He snickers. 
{Name’s} eyes widened, “But-” his hands cupped her face again. A warning. “Just be good and listen.” She shook her head “I don’t want to!” 
Killer sighed, still to the bitter end she would not relent. “If we were doing what you wanted, it wouldn’t be a punishment then.” {Name} could see he had no intention of budging. “Fine…” she muttered. Killer takes a seat in front of the bed, “Come on little one, you have to spread your legs more.” She shuts them, {Name} didn’t want to waste time on punishments she wanted what she wanted and unless Killer was giving that to her, she refused everything else. 
“Even now you won’t listen. I thought you were going to take your punishment like a good girl.”  Killer is disappointed, {Name} walks over to him “I’ll be good, I promise.” Bold words considering she disobeyed him not even a minute earlier. Killer switches the situation and bends her over his lap. “Since you can’t be trusted to do it right, I will do it myself.” The palm of his hand rubs her back, drifting down to her ass and the backs of her thighs. He just runs his hands along the skin. “Do you know what you did wrong?” Killer asks sternly. {Name} takes a moment to think, “I was bad…” SLAP. The first hit lands, the sound resonates in the room and she yelps with the sudden sting. Killer keeps a firm grip to prevent her from squirming out of his grasp. 
“So you are aware that your behavior was unacceptable?” He asks, met by silence in her stead. “Tell me exactly what you did wrong.” His hand soothes the previous smack, “I was flirting with other people.” SLAP. “What else?” {Name} tries to steady her trembling voice. “I was rude and disrespectful towards you.” SLAP. “I didn’t listen to instructions” SLAP. “I didn’t accept m-my first punishment.” SLAP. {Name} starts crying from the relentless stinging that barely had a moment to recover before the next smack landed, harder than the last. She stopped listing off her misbehavior, “There is one more baby.” Killer informs her, she panics slightly “I don’t know…” 
“You have yet to apologize.” He states coldly, “I’m sorry sir…” SLAP. “You will be sorry baby.” 
He ceases the spanking, soothing over the heated skin with his hand. “Is my punishment over now?” she asks softly, with a hint of hope in her voice. Killer sits her up and wipes away {Name’s} tears, “You’re not allowed to be a brat then cry about it.” His voice held no sympathy for her plight. “Oh my pretty baby, what a misunderstanding. How can this be a punishment when you enjoy it so much?” 
{Name} flinched at his words. “So this is what we are going to do.” Killer picks her up and lays her down on the bed, he removes his mask and sets it down on the bedside table. He lifts her hands and pins them above her head. Killer lets go, which surprised {Name}. She awaited the ropes, the cuffs, or something. There was nothing. She is evidently confused by his actions, he only chuckled at her expression. “You are going to stay very still. You are not going to move. While you sit still, I am going to touch you, in all the ways you like. If I find your behavior to my satisfaction I might let you cum. Is that clear?” 
“Yes sir…” {Name} meekly replied, Killer could see how subdued she was, “Now, that’s a good girl.” he hummed with approval. {Name} sighed a little, now finally accepting that this really isn't going to go her way. As if the remnant stinging on her ass wasn’t enough to make her realize. Killer practically saw the moment she decided to give up and just obey him. Killer rubs his thumb against her lips, running down to her chin, then wrapping his hand around her throat while he gives her a curt kiss. 
His hand continues further down, giving a firm squeeze to her tits, and chuckling as he hears that soft gasp when he pinches and pulls her nipples. His lips place kisses on her neck, as he sinks his teeth in. Leaving a trail of marks down to her tits, he replaces his fingers with his mouth. Her whimpers and little moans are music to his ears. His hands held her waist, firmly “So pretty.” He murmurs, kissing down her navel. Killer gripped her thighs and pulled them apart, he shuffled lower and sank his teeth into her thigh. {Name} twitched and raised her arms slightly, Killer flashed a sharp glare in her direction and she instantly dropped her hands back to their spot. 
Killer smirked seeing how wet she was already for him, “And here you said you hated punishments.” He said in such a condescending tone that caused {Name] to feel utterly embarrassed as she averted her gaze from his. “No. Keep your eyes on me.” {Name} looked back towards Killer who held that devious look in his eyes. He licked his lips, he knew what he had planned for her. He flattened his tongue giving one long lick against her slit, {Name} jolted, it wasn’t enough for her and he knew it. But he is determined to relentlessly drive her mad. His tongue alternated between delicate kitten licks and wide laps against her, occasionally taking his time to softly nudge and suckle on her clit. Her voice grew louder with each movement, he could tell {Name} was desperate and getting closer. “Hmm, getting a little close there baby?” He chuckled. {Name} nodded frantically. She wanted to grab his head and pull his hair but she stayed as he instructed her too. “Sir…!” She huffed, on the edge of approaching bliss, her legs began to shake as the build up was finally going to reach its perfect climax…It all disappeared. Killer pulled away, leaving her utterly high and dry. “What…?” {Name} looked shocked, “Why’d you stop!?” She whined. Killer smiled, feigning an innocent expression. “Oh? Were you expecting something?” 
He lifted his hand to her mouth, “Open up.”, she obeyed. He slowly slid two of his fingers into her mouth, feeling the warmth and wetness it had to offer as he felt her sucking his digits and still glaring with discontent. “Since you look so miserable, I’ll give you something else.” Killer pulled his fingers from her mouth. He smiled, and leaned down for a kiss, the moment his lips met hers he slid his fingers inside. The sweet gasping moan that stifled from the kiss was a reward in itself. 
Killer slid his fingers in and out, moving them with a practiced precision that had {Name} whining and begging. She moved her hips wanting to feel more. “So greedy.” Killer commented, keeping his constant pace exactly the way she wanted it. “Please, don’t stop.” {Name} begged, knowing that he was planning to keep bringing her to the edge without satisfaction. Killer didn’t make any jeering commentary otherwise and she believed that maybe he would be merciful, she allowed herself to enjoy every moment. Her head leaned back, {Name} felt that familiar pleasure inching closer, the high that built up once again. So very close, and in another disappointing instant, all gone. 
“No…no…” she babbled over again. Killer shrugged in response, she felt the anger getting to her. “Such a bastard” {Name} muttered under her breath. Killer chuckled, “Well you only have yourself to blame.” He pulled her down and closer to him, readjusting their position and throwing her legs over his shoulders. He gave his cock a few strokes while watching her impatience grow, {Name] was truly weak to her desires. He slowly, forcefully began to push inside her, making sure he could get as deep as she could take. 
That burning stretch as he inched further inside drove her wild, {Name} wanted to grab him and pull him closer but she stayed conscious of keeping her hands and arms in the imaginary bondage. He kept a languid pace, going in deep and dragging out making sure she felt every little thing. Full well knowing she was already sensitive from being worked up without release. “Faster please” {Name} moaned, Killer shook his head. “No baby, just be patient while I enjoy myself.” Killer grunted between his words. “Sir please, I can’t please.” she sobbed. “Shhh baby, just behave.” Even if she wanted it faster, the build up eventually became noticeable. Her begging subsided as she got closer, tears began to well up and fall from the frustration. Just needing any form of release, Killer kept his slow pace and the moment he felt her getting close, he pulled out and laughed at her outburst of being upset. {Name} whines but still keeps her arms in place, Killer could appreciate her obedience even in the height of her discontent. “You’re behaving so well baby, just a little more and I'll give you a reward, alright?” Killer spoke so sweetly, {Name} just nodded strung along on every word.
Killer’s hand cradles her face, he shows somewhat of a relieved smile when he thinks that {Name} finally learned her lesson, punishment is effective but reward is even more so. Killer slid his cock back inside listening to her relieved sigh. {Name} eagerly waited for him to start moving but he stayed still. Killer leaned down and began kissing her neck, his thumb rubs small circles on her clit and she moans. The sensitivity played in his favour. She babbles incoherently about how close she is. {Name} doesn’t even beg for it, she anticipated further disappointment. Killer doesn’t stop even when her hips start bucking against him trying to feel more. {Name’s} vision blanks for a second as her climax hits hard, leaving her a shaking mess from her desperately earned release. “There we go…” Killer hums happily, it only took one orgasm to have her so fucked out, although he didn’t count all the ones he previously denied. 
{Name} mumbled her thank you’s over and over again, Killer flips her over and pulls her onto all fours. “Now that your punishment is over, I can really enjoy myself.” He thrusts back into her hard, practically leaving {Name} breathless, he slams into her repeatedly holding nothing back. Her body gives in and she collapses to the bed. “No baby, too early to give out on me.” Killer pulls her hips back and holds her steady as he relentlessly fucks into her. “Wait-!” {Name} whines, still recovering from her previous orgasm as another approaches quickly. Killer kisses her shoulder, his thrusts are accentuated by his grunts and strained voice “Give me another baby, you can do it.” {Name} could barely think, just feeling every harsh thrust that drove her mind even more blank. 
Her hands weakly clutched at the bed, SLAP. Killer spanked her, the surprise sent her over the edge and once again she came undone. Killer chuckled at the pathetic display of how easily he could toy with her body. His hand pushed her body down to the bed as he held her in place, his own release building. He shut his eyes and just focused on thrusting as hard as he could. “Fuck!” He exclaimed through gritted teeth as he came inside her, holding her still while he filled her up. Killer needed a moment to find feeling in his body again, he tried to catch his breath as he finally let go of her hips and laid down next to her. 
Both had a moment to gather themselves when Killer pulls {Name} close and kisses her on the forehead, his thumb wipes away the remnant tears. Moving to comb his fingers through her hair. “Are you alright?” His voice asked, barely above a whisper. She nods and nuzzles into his touch. “It wasn’t too much was it?”, she shakes her head. “‘I’m sorry for how I acted.” {Name} uttered a sincere apology realizing that even if it had been a prerequisite to a scene, there were still limitations that she shouldn’t have pushed as hard. Killer kisses her softly, before sitting up and taking some time to address all of the little bruises and marks. He is firm, and often gets rough but is constantly aware of how much {Name} could take. She shifted and plopped her head into his lap while looking at Killer, He flashed a gentle smile that she had gotten used to seeing, and feeling it a treasured secret and many others probably never had the pleasure of seeing it. His fingers ran through her hair and {Name} could feel herself drifting further into a strange asleep yet not quite asleep state, listening to all the loving affirmations Killer muttered while believing she had already fallen asleep.

Tumblr media
"Remind me why are we doing this again?" Zoro barks as he feels you tighten the ropes around his forearms behind his back.
"Because I wanted to practice how to tie other pirates when the time comes, and Nami sent me to you before Sanji gets a nosebleed" you simply explained, finishing the last knot.
"That perverted cook" he growls again. "Either way, why do you wanna learn this? Tying knots it's really easy"
"Anyone can tie knots, but to do knots that others can't scape from that easily? I wanna do that" you chuckled, running your fingers through the ropes in Zoro's arms. "Do you wanna scape, Zoro?" you ask him in a whisper, making his whole body shiver.
He doesn't answer, rather looking away from you when you moved to be infront of him.
"I wanna see the other pirates struggle to break free from the ropes, to look at me with those pleading eyes and begging me with a whiny voice to spare their lives" your hands run through the ropes that crosses over his torso, your fingertips barely touching the skin of his stomach. "'I would do anything!' they might say, and I will just look at them until they're crying, begging me over and over again" you chickle again, shaking your head to yourself. "Am I being to sadis-"
A loud thud interrumpt your words, making you look up at the man in front of you, who now was on his knees, looking at you with the same eyes you just described.
Your eyes move on their own, and run all over his big and muscled body. His chest rised and falled pretty quickly, making you just notice how shaking his breath was. Your eyes dropped more low, and you finally saw it, that big bulge growing against his baggy clothes.
Did he...did he just got aroused by your sadistic speech?
"Please..." he started off with a whisper, "please touch me. I would do anything, anything you want! Just please...touch me" he whined.
An electric current runs through your spine and a new heat makes place in between your legs. You also started to feel aroused, I mean who wouldn't be? Having the big Roronoa Zoro pirate hunter on his knees, begging you to give him a little bit of your touch.
Your hands tingled with the desire of touching him, but you decided to play with him a little bit.
"Anything, you say...mmh" you act like you're thinking about it. "How about...you beg for it a little bit more? And while you're on that, worship me" you shot a deviolous grin at him, watching him wiggle closer to you.
"Please...please mistress. I know I'm not worthy, but please touch me with your glorious hands, your feet, whatever you feel like it! But please...let me be under your mercy" he begged, the raspy tone of his voice conviened with a whiny one, that made the pool of heat in between your legs grow even more.
You kept quiet while he continued to cry for your affection, kissing along your legs or snuggling his face on them. He tried to hump your shoes a few times, trying to relieve his erection, but everytime you taked a step back, making him move again to be close to you.
After a while of having him begging for you, you finally give in, feeling like you wouldn't be able to hold your lust anymore. You squat down at his level, pulling him into a heated kiss.
"Fuck...you look so pretty like this" you whisper over his lips after pulling away from the kiss.
His cheeks were flushed in a deep blush, while his lips were coated with a mix of his own saliva and yours. His eyes were already unfocused, panting for air as he dumbly looked a you while you moved to touch him.
You open up his coat, just enough to let his pecs free and started to play with his nipples, making him shiver.
"Yeah? You like that, pretty boy?" you grin, specially pinching his left nipple, making him whine.
"Y-yes mistress, t-thank you" he whines, avoiding to look at you in the eyes.
"You're being so polite, but it won't be worth it if you don't look at me in the eyes" you tilt his chin up, making him look at you right in the eyes as he whined at the loose of your touch in his chest.
"S-sorry mistress, I won't- I won't do it again" he promise as he gulped, waiting for your hands to get on him again.
And so you do, one hand groping his left pec while the other reaches to start touching his bulge over his pants. Zoro's sweet moans fill your ears as you continuously grope him here and there.
"Never thought you would like the feeling of being tied up this much" you grin at the swordsman in front of you, thrully never thinking you would see him like this. "Should we do this more often, mmh? Tie you up for you to be at my mercy? So I can do whatever I want with you?"
"Y-yes...Yes mistress! Please, let me be yours however you want" he cries out, already on the edge of orgasm thanks to all your teasing.
"Fuck" you whisper on the low, taking his lips on a kiss once again. "Cum for me, baby" you allow him, moving your mouth to his neck to start sucking hickeys in there.
And so does Zoro cum, in his pants. Your hands keep groping his twitching dick as he spruts his load on his briefs, along with your other hand still pinching his now swollen nipple, just like he just got milk out of there.
You finish marking his neck and pull yourself away from him, just to admire the mess you've created. There's a few tears on his eyes, as well as a thread of drool in one corner of his mouth; his eyes were unfocused, letting you know that he was still a little bit gone to talk back at you.
You fix your eyes on his neck once again, and smile at the sight of the hickey shining there. It wasn't too big, but noticable enough for other people to see.
"Now everyone 's gonna know that you're mine. Right, Zoro?" you ask the swordsman, who just dumbly nods at your question. You giggle, leaving a last kiss on his cheek. "Alright, let me get you free from the ropes and I'll help you get cleaned up" you monologated, knowing that he won't understand what you're saying.

Well, the ship looks like Elbaf-made (and now that we know how connected to the giants Shanks and his crew are, I think it really IS). And we now know that the giants are really pro-Nika, like that’s THEIR deity (if I remember correctly). So it is also possible that it’s part of their aesthetics and Shanks decided to leave it to not offend them and/or blend in.
Personally tho I HATE the evil!Shanks theory. I love Shanks and turn into putty when reading those parental!Shanks-Luffy fics T.T (also, I’ve always admired his non-confrontational/pacifist ideals).
But that smile in that episode looked somewhere between sleazy and unhinged to me. Idk if it was the animation style, but I think I got similar vibes from the manga too. Idk. But his expression when Kid was attacking and killing his subordinates felt genuine? So maybe he just doesn’t like how handsy they were being. REALLY don’t know. The scene made me smile tho, because this man is so loved! And his subordinates have zero fear. And unlike the other Emperors, he doesn’t do the whole tribute thing at all. There’s also the fact that he seems to be the only pirate that is hella respected on BOTH sides of the law.
Sorry for the rant. I reallly love Shanks :3 (AHHHH I don’t want him to be evil either ;-;)
hmmm... i wouldn't say the Red Force is Elbaf-made... it might look like it at first since it's one of the most realistic-looking ships in One Piece with quite a simple figurehead and Elbaf giants also use realistic-looking Viking longships with a simple figurehead and you could say the swirl markings and their placement on the Red Force are similar to the swirl markings on the ship Dorry and Broggy took to Egghead but that's just that, they are similar, not the same. the ship types are also different. Elbaf giants use longships while the Red Force is a galleon (or looks like it, i'm not an expert and One Piece ships aren't exactly realistic). also, Red Hai Pirates had a similar looking ship but smaller, less detailed and without the sun symbol (a barque, i'd say) but with a very similar figurehead in ch 1 which was before they even went to the New World. and last but not least, none of the Elbaf ships seen so far have the sun symbol on them. so i wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the Red Force was built by the Elbaf giants. i'm not ruling the idea out, it's just there is no airtight evidence to prove it to be correct.
about Shanks' smile ep 1112, i never thought of it as sleazy? more like a combination of mischievous amusement, fluster and drunkenness. those expressions are also anime only and i only accept the manga as canon. and those are these in ch 1079:
Tumblr media
you can't really blame him for not being completely happy about being suddenly jumped on
after that he jokes about how his fleet is notoriously weak (btw the fact that his fleet is notoriously week yet still surviving in the New World is a testament to how strong Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates are that they can afford to take weaklings under their wings and yet no one dares to mess with them) etc. but we can't see his expression.
he is mostly calm/neutral discussing Kid and Blackbeard with his crew. but then he gets the vision.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he instantly switches to serious and stressed (you can see him sweating). Shanks just had a vision of those he swore to protect being torn apart in his name and we know how he feels about ppl hurting his friends since ch 1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
no mercy
Tumblr media
so yeah, i do believe he genuinely cares about his people and the care is obviously mutual (it warms my heart :D)
