Enemies to Lovers Portgas D. Ace

Portgas D. Ace, who refuses to hear your side of the story, consumed by anger and pain. Yet, despite it all, the need to hold you in his arms burns so fiercely inside him, making him swear to himself that he’ll never let you go again. Who you have to trick into listening to you, because in turn, your heart beats so hard for him.

Portgas D. Ace, who accuses you of lying when you tell him you lost your memory and were kidnapped, suffocated by the weight of his guilt. He can see the honesty in your words, the clarity in your eyes, and that only worsens his torment. How could he fail you? How could he not protect you when you needed him most?

Portgas D. Ace, who pulls away because he doesn’t know how to handle what he feels. Trapped in a whirlwind of emotions, he’s lost, unsure of what to do or how he’s supposed to react, and this inner conflict is tearing him apart.

Portgas D. Ace, who one day, hears the mesmerizing sound of your laughter. That sound pulls him like a warm breeze to the kitchen, where he finds you with Zanji, sharing a moment that looks far too much like one between a couple. A bitter sensation rises within him—a searing fire of jealousy he just can’t control.

Portgas D. Ace, who can’t stop replaying the scene of you and Zanji in the kitchen. That image haunts him relentlessly, invading his thoughts day and night, stealing even the rest he so desperately needs. His daytime collapses from exhaustion mean nothing to him. Do you like Zanji now? What does he have that Ace doesn’t? Is he better for you? Does he make you laugh more? Those questions, like daggers, stab at his mind, filling him with insecurity and a fear that tears him apart from the inside out.

Zoro: "Sanji"? I thought your name was Zanji? Y'know with a Z.

Sanji: You... Zanji??? Fucking seriously???

Zoro: What?

Sanji: How long have we known each other?

Zoro: Like three years now but what's that got to do with anything?

Sanji: You thought my name was ZANJI for three years! How!? How does that happen!?

Zoro: That's what your name tag back at the restaurant said!

Sanji: No, it said SANJI. With an S.

Zoro: It looked like a Z to me!

Sanji: It's clearly an S! How do you mix up a S with a Z! Are your eyes backwards!?

Zoro: Sometimes S's look like Z's, lay the fuck off me!

Sanji: You're kinda dyslexic aren't you, mosshead?

Zoro: ....yeah..

赤松[Akamatsu] Pinus densiflora

赤[Aka] means red. It is so named because of its red trunk. Also known as 雌松[Mematsu]. There is a species 黒松[Kuromatsu](P. thunbergii), which does not have a red trunk. Also known as 雄松[Omatsu]. 黒 means black, 雌[Me-|Mesu] means female and 雄[O-|Osu] means male. The two side by side show the difference.

If alone, at this time of year, they can be distinguished by their winter buds. Those of Akamatsu have furry reddish-brown scales around them, while those of Kuromatsu are covered with white scales.

Akamatsu burns well because it contains a lot of resin, which is called 松脂[Matsuyani]. For this reason, its wood has long been used for lighting and fuel. The torch is called Taimatsu and written as 松明. 明 is usually read as mei or akari and means light, lamp or brightness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuni-e https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/6126009/

下人の眼は、その時、はじめて其死骸の中に蹲つてゐる人間を見た。檜皮色の着物を着た、背の低い、痩せた、白髮頭の、猿のやうな老婆である。その老婆は、右の手に火をともした松の木片を持つて、その死骸の一つの顏を覗きこむやうに眺めてゐた。 髮の毛の長い所を見ると、多分女の死骸であらう。 下人は、六分の恐怖と四分の好奇心とに動かされて、暫時は呼吸をするのさへ忘れてゐた。舊記の記者の語を借りれば、「頭身の毛も太る」やうに感じたのである。すると老婆は、松の木片を、床板の間に挿して、それから、今まで眺めてゐた死骸の首に兩手をかけると、丁度、猿の子の虱をとるやうに、その長い髮の毛を一本づつ拔きはじめた。 髮は手に從って拔けるらしい。

[Genin no me wa, sono toki, hajimete sono shigai no naka ni uzukumatte iru ningen wo mita. Hiwada iro no kimono wo kita, se no hikui, yaseta, shiraga atama no, saru no yōna rōba de aru.

Kami ha te ni shitagatte nukeru rashii.]

The eyes of the servant then saw for the first time a human being crouching among the corpses. It was a short, thin, white-haired, monkey-like old woman in a dusky-red kimono. The old woman was holding a lit piece of Matsu in her right hand and looking into the face of one of the corpses. The long hair on the head indicates that it is probably a female corpse.

The mind of the servant was motivated by sixty percent fear and forty percent curiosity, and he even forgot to breathe for a while. To borrow a phrase from a writer of an article in an old collection of tales, he felt as if "the hairs on his head and body were getting fatter". Then, the old woman inserted the piece of Matsu between the floorboards, put her hands around the neck of the corpse she had been gazing at, and began to pull out its long hair one by one, just like (a parent monkey) picking lice from a child monkey. Its hair seems to fall out according to the movement of the hands (of the old woman).

Ladies, Gentlemen, & everyone Inbetween!

I Present to you ZANJI!!!

This is what a Sanji + Zoro mix would look like...

UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN!!!

[st-just]

Orn, City of Starships, had been beautiful. An oasis of civilization, Zanji had called it, in the wreck of the cosmos. Viv saw its former glory in its ashes: crystal towers snapped by a mighty hand, their shattered peaks filling broad avenues. Heavenly bridges went nowhere, ended in splinters. Among the ruins Viv saw amphitheaters, arenas, market squares, perhaps a shopping mall - she knew she was misreading all of this, painting the dead city with categories and purposes she understood, but she couldn't help it any more than she could help hearing sorrow in a song in an unfamiliar tongue. Orn, city of starships, Orn of the best seafood this side of anywhere, Orn of the simulated depravities, Orn where you could talk to gods. The city's people had loved her, and built her so well that an outside, stepping tender, scared, from her ship a thousand years - more? - after her fall would know the depth of their love. They built her so well even her ruins awed.

I’m sorry but that’s the ship name??? When Zanji was right there???

Yall ever seen in the comment section of a ZoSan post and it's just Sanji is straight Sanji is straight but it's never Zoro is straight

[eigwayne]

I’m watching Ming Dynasty again, and I hate the male lead so much. So much. He’s arrogant and cruel and manipulative and smarmy and maybe that’s the point? No one in this show is looking good as a human being except maaaaaybe Ruowei, who haas already had her character arc apparently and has learned to let go of her anger, maaaaybe Xu Bin, whose greatest flaw so far is the same as Zhu Yilong’s character in Minglan, that in order to keep the peace, he won’t fight hard enough to keep his love. And I respect someone who will give up their personal wish in order to keep thousands of others safe, so I rather like Xu Bin. Everyone else is a piece of shit.

But Zhu Zanji is the most stomach-turningly irritating of them. I want to punch him in the face every time he shows up. I would stop watching even though I made it to the halfway point, he gets on my nerves that much. But this is based on history and his character dies relatively young, so the thought of him finally kicking the bucket is keeping me going.

This video is oddly satisfying 😌

While I was finishing up my Library Escape picture I was thinking about other concept idea's I could draw for my Fanfiction. One of those ideas was about Link's Uncle and what happened to his body after you leave him in the game. Link's Uncle is a member of the Knights of Hyrule an elite order of Knight's who have appeared in other Zelda Games like Ocarina of Time, The Oracle series and Four Swords Adventures to name a few. And In Ataru Cagiva's Manga (Where the Name Zanji comes from) He's was the Head Trainer of solders of Hyrule. meaning he was well known figure in the Hylian military like a veteran of sorts. so my Idea so far for this scene is that after Link and Zelda's escape a guard will inform the King and Aghanim that the Princess was abducted. The King will order an Immediate lockdown of Hyrule Castle and Town and that the surrounding villages and country side be searched to find her. then while investigating the Castle they find the bodies of Zanji and Hylian Guard along with his comrade. They ask him what happened that night and who killed the guard and Zanji. the Man will explain that it all happened so fast and he's not really sure but that he remembers seeing a boy in green wearing the coat with the crest of the Knights of Hyrule attack him and his comrade. after further investigation they find out that the boy was possibly Link Zanji's Nephew. And that Link had spent some time with Princess Zelda during the festival. Aghanim Knowing that he Killed Zanji tells the King that Link was the one who killed the his Uncle and the Guard before he kidnapped the Princess. and that Zanji was trying to Protect the Princess from his evil nephew. The King will place an reward for the capture of Link. And that because of Zanji's Attempt at saving the Princess that He will be buried in Hyrule Cathedral along side the Nobility.

And That's what I've got so far on this idea let me know what you thing

A quiet time

I headcannon that if Zeke and Hanji were’nt enemies they’d at least be friends. They’re also low key a crack ship to me, but there’s no content for them so I’m posting this even tho I’m not best or most experience writer. Levihan will always be my main tho.

Prompt: Au Hanji was born and raised in Marley. She tends a bar in a Marley ghetto.

Hanji was serving her last few customers for the night. As time flowed closer to the end of her shift, three men still lingered at the bar. She noticed they walked in together, but the blonde man decided to sit at the opposite end of the bar away from his companions. After about an hour of serving them, their condescending attitudes and ignorance made her take an extra long bathroom break.

They cursed her when she came back, and she was tempted to break the glass she held across their skulls. However, her manager gave her a stern look that pacified her. Eventually, her manager ended his shift and left the task of closing the bar to her. She annoyed she’d have to serve the remaining rude costumers on her own and hoped to drown them out as much as she could.

She was happy for a distraction when the blonde man sitting at the other end of the bar waved her over to order another scotch. But as she turned around to make his drink the comments from the other two men did not fall on death ears.

“Eldian bitch, a good sucker punch should teach her not to keep her superiors waiting.”

The other man drunk about half his glass of whiskey before even responding, “She’s irrelevant Gross. We’re celebrating right now, we can throw her to the dogs later.”

“What’s more celebratory than watching a sub-human whore get what she deserves?!” He barked out with a huge laugh.

Hanji quietly served the Scotch to the man sitting at the end of the bar. She wasn’t aware the anger on her face was obvious, until he commented on it.

“You should just ignore them, they’d harass you even more if they saw your anger.”

It confused her, wasn’t he on their side? Shouting from the other side of the bar broke her train of thought.

“Damn you, slow wench, hurry up and bring us more Whiskey woman!” The Sergeant shouted

Hanji took the stranger’s advice to heart. She swallowed her pride and served the two men until they were drunk and stumbling their way out the door.

“Heyy Zeke, we are- we’re heading back to base, your comin’ with us?” The smaller man slurred while dragging his bigger friend around his shoulder.

The blonde man waved them off without turning around, “I’ll catch up with you two later.”

Hanji let out a sigh of relief once they left the bar. It was thirty minutes past the end of her shift and the bar needed to be closed. It slightly irritated her that the blonde man still sat in his seat smoking a cigarette.

“No smoking allowed in here.”

He chuckled in response, “Do you really care enough to stop me?”

“No, but I do need to close this bar, so if you could leave my night would be a bit better.”

He only inhaled another hit from his cigarette in response. Then finished his glass of scotch. Hanji quietly collected the glass and began cleaning it.

“You live in this ghetto right?”

Hanji was reluctant to actually respond to his question,”Sure”.

She wondered if him and his companions would come back to the bar sober, just to terrorize her.

“Then you probably know who that man was.”

Hanji rolled her eyes and began wiping tables. “Sergeant Major Gross, overseer of the Liberio Ghetto. I’m familiar with him and his...work.”

“Then why get angry at his comments. You know the consequences if you step out of line. Besides, You’ve probably been treated way worst by an even lower class Marleyan.” He calmly chastised.

Hanji unknowingly crushed the glass in the palm of her hand, “They degrade us, use us, and then say we are the demons. But I’d rather kiss a titan’s ass than sleep next to any of those bastards. Maybe if we’d take more time researching the Titans instead of weaponizing them, things would be better.”

Zeke had moved in front of the rambling woman and softly grabbed her bloody hand to pick out the shards of glass embedded in them. “You remind me of a man I admired. He would’ve definitely like you.”

Hanji didn’t meet his eyes and only stared at her bloody hand instead,” I wish I could say the same, but I’m not fond of the company you keep.”

Zeke only glanced at the woman before wrapping a small towel around her hand. “They’re not my company to keep.” He sighed,”I wanted a quiet time in an area I knew no one would recognize me, but I ran into them. They followed me and there wasn’t much I could do about it.”

Hanji scoffed, “Having a defeatist attitude is unattractive. You can always get something you want if you have the will to go after it.”

Zeke finished bandaging the woman’s hand, but didn’t let go of it. He met her gaze with a sarcastic smile. “What is it you want the most?”

“Freedom.” She said with no hesitation.

He chuckled and casually lit another cigarette. “They’ll never give you that.”

Hanji took the time to actually observe the man sitting in front of her. He was absurdly handsome with a good build. His smirks and smiles didn’t seem to reach his eyes. As a matter of fact, his eyes seemed dead. As if his affable demeanor is hiding a much crueler, angrier side to him.

Hanji looked away and began setting all the chairs upside down on the tables. “Maybe if we were the monsters they say we are, my people wouldn’t be abused as much.” The woman pondered to herself.

“Monsters? Demons?,” he laughed, “Eldians are cursed. I pity them. They’re just unlucky people.”

Hanji collected the last of her belongings and Zeke followed her out of the small bar. It almost stung when the cool air hit her skin. It was the middle of the night and most of the characters roaming the streets at this time were unsavory. She began to quickly walk towards the direction of her apartment building when she noticed the blonde man was still beside her.

“Why are you following me?”

He lightly scratched at his beard and then gave her a lopsided smile,” it wouldn’t be very gentlemanly of me to let a beautiful woman like yourself walk home alone.”

“I’ve done it many times before. Besides, I’m more worried about you knowing where I live.” She sighed

“Oh yeah, and why is that?” He inquired as he smoked one more hit from his cigarette before putting it out.

“I may not know a famous face, but I do recognize a famous name. Isn’t that right War-chief Zeke Yeagar.”

“Don’t judge a book by its title. You don’t know me.” He argued with apathy

Hanji stared at him thoughtfully for a second, before giving an answer,” Maybe not, but I know what you fight for.”

Zeke stopped at this, and grabbed her upper arm to stop her,”Do you?”he growled

Hanji met his glare with her own stubborn gaze. There was a slight edge to his demeanor. She felt he wouldn’t let her get away with breathing another contemptuous comment his way.

‘For most of the night he seemed indifferent towards most things. Is this a small glimpse of who he is on the battlefield?’

She snatched her arm away from him and instead made her way to her front door. “This is my place. Thanks for the walk, but you can leave now.”

Instead of leaving he walked towards her and stopped only a few inches away from her face. “I’m going to visit you at your bar tomorrow and the day after that. Whenever I have the time I’ll come by.” He firmly stated

Hanji was shocked. They obviously didn’t get along. And receiving daily visits from a war chief would definitely raise questions out of her peers.

“Wha- What for? We have very different values. But...I’ll argue with you anytime, anyplace,”Hanji declared with a smile laced with uncertainty

“I like you. And since I keep such terrible company. I suppose it’s time I find someone good to hang around.” Zeke sighed

Hanji narrowed her eyes in response. Any type of relationship between him and herself couldn’t result in anything good. “You’re just trying to get me killed.” She concluded as she opened her building door.

She closed the heavy door behind her, before he could give her another response. She made her way to her room and fell into her bed in exhaustion. Hanji turned her head to check the time, but instead the window caught her attention. She saw Zeke still standing there, when she peeked out of it. Her movement must’ve caught his attention, because he turned to look back at her.

A smirk grew on his face before he winked at her. She closed her curtains and laid back in bed. Any aggression she still had for him would have to be handled tomorrow.
