cw: fluff. set after timeskip.
Tonight you’ve taken charge of kitchen cleaning duty, and Luffy - initially reluctant to do any type of chore but now eagerly mopping the floor because it means he gets to spend some alone time with you - is singing loudly as he works just paces away. Stationed in front of a mountain of dishes to wash and store away, courtesy of the man just mentioned, you find that despite his questionable singing voice you’re in some way lulled into a sort of quietude by it.
Scrub, dunk, set to dry. Scrub, dunk, set to dry.
You find yourself humming under your breath.
It’s been several months since you’ve all come together again to continue your collective journey and the time just spent with Luffy, particularly the last six months between the Island of Women and Luffy’s training island, is starting to become a remote memory. You wonder how much of the blossoming of your relationship was spurred from the combination of painful grief, loneliness and forced proximity, and what will remain now that that no longer exists.
You and Luffy are happy, as are all of the Straw Hats, to be a crew again. Raucous dinners abounding every night, nary a moment alone; there is always constant play and the ever pressing hope of adventure.
You wonder every once in a while if that will change things.
Luffy stops singing abruptly, and somehow the sound of silence is deafening, as though the mirthful notes were sucked out by a vacuum. You turn a little too fast, such that it almost appears accusatory, and look right at him.
“Is everything okay?”
Luffy looks at the suds-filled bucket in front of him for a moment, then looks up at you. A big grin resumes on his face in response to your worried one, which only serves to confuse you further.
“I missed sleeping next to you, what if-”
Your cheeks warm.
“No.”
You turn back to wash the dishes but you can practically feel the pout in your direction, and in a comically long single stride over next to you, he places his chin on your shoulder.
“But-”
“Luffy, Nami and Robin will be right there-”
“Okay, they can cuddle too!”
Your eyes widen and you turn to look at him but he’s grinning, impossible to faze.
“Go cuddle with your mates in the men’s quarters then!” you hiss.
He pouts, wrapping his arms around your waist multiple times over. “But the point is to cuddle with you,” he whines.
“It’s inappropriate,” you insist, even if your face is growing hotter by the second. You turn on the faucet again, but forgetting what you’re doing you end up scrubbing your hands furiously even though you don’t need to in the least before realizing what you’re doing and stopping abruptly, letting out a sigh.
Luffy still hasn’t let go.
“I can kick everyone out of the men’s quarters,” Luffy offers, grinning. “They’ll understand!”
“Like hell they will.” You reply, just imagining the sheer dirty look Zoro would give you and Sanji would give Luffy, and he pouts.
“Well, how about the lifeboat?”
You finally wriggle around in his grasp to face him.
“All this just to sleep in the same bed?” you ask, incredulous. He nods emphatically, then kisses you on the forehead.
“Yeah, duh.”
Mollified despite yourself, you give him a long discerning look then let your arms wrap around his shoulders before pressing a kiss to his nose.
“How about we start with a nap on the couch in a couple minutes, okay?” you suggest, and he smiles, finally unwrapping you to finish his work. His song resumes and the mountain of dishes to wash continues to decrease just like any one of your misgivings about how much Luffy loves you.
And to think you thought things would change.

More summer vibes!
Same ref link as my zoro post! [x]
where i can watch the one piece fan letter plss i'm dying 😭😭😭😭
This is so good 😫😫
how do luffy and zoro handle you dying in their arms
aight time for angst with the one piece boys
luffy:
oh poor baby )): its reminds him a lot about what happened with ace. he’s losing someone else that is important to him. he couldn't save you. he failed. he wasn't strong enough.
luffy watched in slow motion as you fall to the ground, his eyes wide in shock. he couldn't even move, couldn't even speak. you weren't getting up. you were just laying there, motionless. your opponent, a pirate captain, was laughing. he towers over your body, a twisted smile on his face, his eyes full of glee.
in less than a second luff punched him so hard he went flying. who knows if he’s dead or not, luffy didn't care. he rushes over to you, dropping to his knees and scooping you in his arms. blood. so much blood. his body trembles, fear rising inside him. his heart beats so loud in his ears.
‘oi, (y/n), wake up! wake up!’ he begs, his voice cracking. you don't respond to him. you weren't even breathing. ‘(y/n), come on!’
this can't be happening. you shouldn't be on the ground like this, bleeding out. you should be smiling and laughing and offering him meat like always. tears blur his eyes, sliding down his cheeks. his throat constricts painfully. something was clawing up his throat.
‘chopper! chopper where are you!’ he yells out for the little reindeer, hoping that he could save you. but your body was growing cold in his arms.
why was this happening? he was supposed to be strong, he was supposed to protect everyone. so why? why did this have to happen. luffy was cracking and soon he shatters.
the thing crawling up his throat was finally set loose. a heart wrenching scream pierces the air, capturing the attention of their crew. it shook them to the core. their captain needed them. they finish up their battles and follow the sound of sobs ringing out in the air. what they find crushes them.
luffy was clutching you to his chest while he bangs his head repeatedly against the side of the building. blood runs down the side of his face and smears against the wall, but luffy doesn't care. he doesn't even register the physical pain, only the emotional wound and his shattered heart. he’s still screaming and sobbing.
zoro steps up, going over to his captain. he pulls luffy back so he stops hitting himself. luffy looks up at his first mate with teary eyes. his eyes land on chopper and he grows desperate.
‘chopper treat her, please!’ he holds out your body to him, begging him.
chopper was doing his best to hold back his tears. he shakes his head. ‘l-luffy...(y/n) is...(y/n) is...,” chopper couldn't even finish his sentence. he buries his face in robin’s leg, sobbing his heart out.
‘luffy, she’s’
‘don’t say it!’ luffy screams at zoro, cutting him off from finishing the sentence.
the crew can see the agony written all over their captain’s face it hurts them. sanji steps up this time. ‘luffy, we should take (y/n)-’
‘no!’ he holds you protectively against him, backing away from his nakama. ‘no one is taking her!’
it takes the combined efforts of zoro, sanji, and Franky to restrain luffy. he’s thrashing around, desperately trying to get you from robin who looks down at you sadly in her arms.
‘give her back! give her back!’ he wails. ‘I want her back!’
luffy soon tires himself from all the screaming and crying. zoro takes him back to the ship, everyone’s head bowed. when luffy wakes up again, he’s demanding to see you.
‘(y/n), where’s (y/n)!’
he breaks down again, holding his head and pulling at his hair. why, why did he have to go through this again? he’s going to be unstable for a while, and then he’ll be eerily quiet, and won't even eat. his crew will have to help him get back on his feet, but it won't be easy.
zoro:
“zoro!”
he whips his head around when you screamed, his eyes widening in horror as he sees the sword goes through your body. he quickly cuts down all the opponents surrounding you two and races over to you. blood was gushing from your wound and he tries to staunch the bloodflow as he’s seen chopper do, but the blood keeps pouring.
‘z-zoro...,’
‘save your breath.’ his response his curt. but he knew. zoro knew that you won't make it. he bites his lip, looking away from you. a palm rests against his cheek, gently turning his head to look at you. you're smiling. you're dying and yet you're smiling. he doesn't understand it.
‘I want to see your face,’ you whisper.
he stays with you, holding your hand against his cheek. it’s all you needed from him, just his presence. it made it easier to let go, knowing that zoro was here. and you left him with a broken heart. zoro doesn't love easy. when he loves someone, he loves them like they're his one and only. and now youre gone.
he takes in a shuddering breath, picking you up, cradling you close to his chest. he walks back to the ship where everyone agreed to meet up at. usopp was the first to notice him.
‘oi zoro what took you so long? did you get lost again? is that (y/n)-’ he freezes. ‘s-she’s bleeding.’
‘she’s dead.’ zoro says it straight, walking past his crew and going onto the ship.
he becomes much colder after your death. though it seems like he’s doing fine, he’s still napping, fighting fine, and drinking, it’s not the same. it never will be the same. he doesn't have you to nap with. he doesn't have you to train with. he doesn't have you to drink with.
he trains a lot more now. he berates himself for being weak, pushing himself more and more. more than once he fainted and chopper scolds him, but he always goes back to training. sanji had enough of his attitude and calls him out on it.
‘(y/n)-san wouldn't have wanted you to be this way!’
‘shut up!’ zoro heaves out. he couldn't bear to hear your name. he walks away.
when he drinks, he looks up at the stars at night. he doesn't believe in god or doesn't think about what's after death. but he idly wonders that if you are up there, are you watching him?
‘if you can’t nap with me anymore, at least visit me in my dreams,’ he mutters to no one, taking another swig of sake.

╰┈➤ pairing: Luffy x fem! reader
a/n: um atp i just post randomly now
summary: After a battle, you catch yourself openly admiring Luffy’s now-ripped physique — and he totally notices. Flirty teasing turns into a steamy, passionate moment where Luffy confesses he’s wanted you for a long time. Things quickly heat up on the deck, and by the end, it’s clear neither of you plans to stop at just one night.
wc: 2.2k
contains: smut! (18+) semi-public but private setting (upper deck at night), rougher pace, dom-ish Luffy, possessiveness, light manhandling, marking, dirty talk, cocky Luffy losing his control, creampie, aftercare.
The sun was dipping low, casting a golden sheen across the deck of the Sunny. The crew buzzed around, cleaning up after the latest island showdown — weapons being stowed, bandages wrapped, bruises proudly shown off like trophies.
And then there was him.
Monkey D. Luffy. Bare-chested, grinning, still buzzing with energy as if he hadn’t just wiped the floor with a Warlord and his army.
You stood frozen by the mast, a rag in your hand and absolutely no thoughts in your brain except:
“Holy hell. When did he get so ripped?”
Luffy’s torso glistened with a thin sheen of sweat, muscles tight and cut like they were sculpted from sun-kissed stone. His abs flexed every time he laughed — and oh, he laughed a lot — and his biceps looked like they could casually throw a mountain or two if you asked nicely.
You were not drooling.
Not literally.
“You okay over there?” Luffy’s voice cut through your mental spiraling, and when you looked up, he was staring at you — eyes wide, cheeks a little pink.
Busted.
“I—uh, yeah. Just—cleaning,” you said, waving the rag like an idiot and definitely not staring at the way his chest rose and fell with each breath.
He tilted his head, still grinning, but his flush deepened. “You’re lookin’ real hard, y’know.”
You almost choked on your own tongue. “What?”
“Your face’s all red,” he said, stepping closer, scratching the back of his neck. “I mean, I get it. I am kinda awesome.” He flexed an arm half-jokingly, then dropped it when he caught you actually checking it out.
“Oh my god,” you muttered, covering your face with both hands.
Luffy laughed, the sound bubbling like soda. “You do think I’m hot!”
You groaned. “Luffy—”
“No, no, wait, I like it!” he said quickly, his voice getting higher, his own face nearly glowing with how flustered he was. “I mean—you always look cute when you’re all bossy and mad, but now you’re like—squirmy and pink and kinda…kinda kissable.”
That shut you up real quick.
He blinked. “Was that too much?”
“No,” you said, heart hammering in your chest, “but if you say ‘kissable’ again I might actually pass out.”
He stepped closer, until his toes nearly touched yours, his breath warm against your cheek. “Wanna try it? Just so I know what it’s like?”
You stared at him, wide-eyed. “You serious?”
Luffy gave you a grin that was almost shy — almost. “Been thinking about it since before the fight. Now I feel strong and you look all shiny-eyed. Feels like a good time.”
You barely managed a nod before his lips brushed yours — soft, sun-warmed, a little clumsy, but so Luffy. His hands landed at your hips, warm and grounding, and you sighed into him, threading your fingers through his messy hair.
When you pulled back, both of you looked dazed.
“…Wanna help me clean up?” you teased, voice breathy.
He smirked, muscles flexing just a little. “Nah. I wanna make you red again.”
--
The deck was quiet now.
The rest of the crew had cleared out, most asleep or below deck, leaving only the soft sway of the sea and the lingering heat between you and Luffy.
Your back pressed against the wood of the mast, heart thundering in your chest as Luffy’s fingers ghosted over your skin — featherlight, curious, hungry.
“I really like when you look at me like that,” he murmured, voice lower, rougher than usual. He leaned in, brushing his lips against your neck, sucking lightly until your knees nearly buckled.
“Luffy—” you breathed, eyes fluttering shut.
“Hmm?” he hummed against your skin. “You looked like you wanted to eat me earlier. Thought I’d return the favor.”
You gasped as his hand slid up under your shirt, palms rough from battle but his touch soft — reverent, even. He pulled the fabric over your head with a gentle kind of urgency, eyes flicking down over your body like he’d just found treasure more valuable than any One Piece.
“Whoa…” he whispered, dazed. “You’re so pretty.”
The way he said it — genuine, like he was seeing you for the first time — made heat bloom between your thighs. He bent down slightly, mouth brushing the top of your chest, teeth grazing as he teased.
“You always act all cool,” he said between kisses, “but you’re squirming so bad right now.”
“Shut up—”
“Nope,” he grinned, lips trailing down your stomach. “Not when you’re about to beg.”
You opened your mouth to argue — then yelped when he dropped to his knees and pulled your bottoms down with one smooth motion, tongue flicking out to tease right where you needed it most.
Your hand flew to his hair, gripping tight. “Luffy—! Wait, you don’t have to—”
He looked up at you from between your thighs, eyes half-lidded, cocky smirk on his face.
“I want to.”
And with that, he buried his face in you, tongue warm, wet, relentless.
His grip on your thighs tightened, keeping you steady as he sucked and licked, building you up fast — too fast — and yet not enough. His nose brushed sensitive skin, his tongue working in maddening patterns, switching between deep licks and soft flicks that made your hips twitch.
“Y-You’re good at this—” you panted.
“Rubber tongue,” he murmured smugly against you. “Told you I’d make you red again.”
You came with a cry, head thrown back, thighs trembling against his shoulders.
But he didn’t stop.
You whimpered, twitching, the overstimulation making your whole body jolt.
“L-Luffy—!”
He looked up again, glistening lips, eyes glazed with lust and pride. “One more. Just one more. Then I’ll let you make me squirm.”
You didn’t even have the strength to argue — not when he leaned in again with that damn smile.
Your legs were still shaking when he stood.
Luffy’s mouth glistened with the aftermath of your first orgasm, and yet the look in his eyes said one thing: he wasn't nearly done.
He wiped his mouth on the back of his hand — then leaned in to kiss you, letting you taste yourself on his tongue. The kiss was deeper now, messier, full of unspoken hunger.
“You okay?” he murmured, breath hot against your lips.
You nodded, dazed. “More than.”
His grin turned wolfish. “Good. ‘Cause I need you. Now.”
You didn’t even get a warning before he hoisted you up by the thighs, pinning your back to the mast. His strength — casual, overwhelming — made your breath catch as your legs wrapped around his waist out of instinct.
“Didn’t know you could carry me like that—”
He pressed his hips against yours, and you felt him — hard, thick, twitching through his pants. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me yet.”
“Show me,” you whispered.
That was it. His restraint snapped.
He yanked his pants low enough to free himself, letting his cock slap against your thigh, hot and heavy. You barely had time to brace before he lined himself up and pushed in — slowly, but not gently.
“Shit—Luffy—!”
“Feel that?” he hissed, head falling against your shoulder as he bottomed out, his hips flush with yours. “Fuck—you’re tight.”
You gasped at the stretch, the heat, the way his voice sounded — deeper, raspier, needy in a way you hadn’t heard before.
He pulled back almost completely, then slammed in again, hard enough to make the mast behind you creak.
“I’ve been thinking about this,” he groaned, hips snapping into you at a quickening pace. “Since Alabasta. Since Water 7. Since forever. Wanted you—so bad.”
Your nails dug into his back as he fucked you harder, the raw sound of skin slapping skin mixing with the crashing waves below. He was moaning openly now, whimpering your name between thrusts like a man possessed.
“Look at me,” he panted, grabbing your chin. “I wanna see your face when I fill you up.”
You bit your lip, nearly sobbing from the intensity — the way he hit just right, the way his voice cracked with every needy thrust.
“Gonna cum inside you,” he muttered, mouth by your ear. “Wanna see it drip out. Wanna stay inside, keep it warm.”
You clenched around him at the words, and he felt it.
“Oh fuck, you like that?” His voice broke into a breathless laugh. “You want me that bad, huh?”
You barely had time to answer before he was pounding into you like he couldn’t stop, couldn’t even think. His grip bruised into your thighs, his thrusts erratic now, desperate.
“I’m—fuck—I’m gonna—”
You nodded, your own orgasm building again, faster than you expected.
“Do it,” you whispered. “Come inside, Luffy.”
His whole body shuddered. With a low, wrecked moan, he buried himself deep and spilled into you, his hips stuttering as he came hard — warm, endless, claiming you in the most primal way possible.
You followed right after, clenching tight around him as your second climax hit, nails raking down his back.
For a long second, the world was just heartbeats and shaky breath.
Then his head dropped to your shoulder again, body still twitching with the aftershocks.
“…shit,” he mumbled, voice hoarse. “That was way better than meat.”
You laughed breathlessly. “High praise, Captain.”
He pulled back just enough to look at you — eyes soft, cheeks still flushed. “Hope you’re ready for more. ‘Cause now I know what you feel like, I don’t think I can stop.”
You leaned in, kissing him slow this time. “Good. I don’t want you to.”
