It started with silence.
Not the heavy kind that suffocatesâbut the quiet peace of wind brushing through trees, waves lapping against the sand, and birds singing above crumbled ruins. Your only companions were time-worn Poneglyphs, mossy stone relics, and the hollow ache of knowing you shouldnât exist.
You didnât know what you wereâonly that you could read them. The Poneglyphs. Their words came to you like breath, like blood. It wasnât learned. It just⊠was.
And then one day, the silence broke.
âWOOOOAAAHH! What a weird island!!â
You looked up from a worn page, blinking at the explosion of sound.
A rubber man had landed face-first in your tomato garden.
You blinked again, rubbing your eyes to make sure you werenât imagining the scene before you. The manâhis limbs were stretched at impossible angles, and his face was, well⊠currently smushed into the dirt of your carefully cultivated tomato patch.
âLuffy!â a womanâs voice shouted from the shore. âStop crashing into things!â
You stared in disbelief, watching as a circus of chaos disembarked from a sunny, lion-faced ship. At least, thatâs what it looked like to you.
âWhaâ?â You stumbled back, half-wondering if youâd stepped into some sort of dream. But no, the crewâs laughter was real. Loud, boisterous, utterly chaotic, and very much present.
Before you could comprehend the whirlwind that had just descended upon your quiet life, a figure bounded toward you. The rubber manâLuffyâwas grinning at you like you were the most interesting thing heâd seen all day. And, for all you knew, you were.
âHey! Who're you? you live here? cool! SHISHISHIâ Luffy asked, already sitting cross-legged on the ground as if he hadnât just completely flattened your garden. âWanna eat with us?â
You blinked, still too stunned to form a coherent sentence. âI⊠guess?...Im Y/Nâ
And so began your first real encounter with the Straw Hat Pirates.
Nami, with her keen eyes and sharp questions, immediately assessed the situation, interrogating you about your maps and supplies like she was about to audit your entire existence. Sanji, the ever-romantic chef, started cooking a feast so lavish that you were half-tempted to check if the food had its own backstory. The man even had heart-shaped eyes every time you praised his cooking.
Usopp, ever the over-the-top self-proclaimed hero, proudly handed you a coconut with a grin that could only be described as a âfriendship orb.â âFrom me to you,â he declared, as if he had just made the worldâs most profound offering.
And then there was Chopper, who took your pulse the second he saw you, declaring that you had âisland person syndromeâ and needed immediate attention.
Robin, however, watched you closely. Her gaze sharp but gentle, as if trying to figure out a puzzle no one else could see.
âYou can read those stones, canât you?â she asked, voice barely above a whisper.
You stiffened. The question sent a shiver through your spine, a fleeting reminder of the secret you kept buried deep within. You didnât answer. Not immediately.
She smiled, soft and knowing, her eyes never leaving yours. âWeâll talk later.â
Zoro, ever the brooding figure, glanced at you and muttered under his breath, âYou donât look dangerous.â It seemed like a funny thing to say, considering he had just been trying to slice a boulder in half mere moments earlier.
It didnât take long for you to realize what was happening: You were trapped in their orbit. In their madness. In their chaos.
And you couldnât have been more content.
The Thousand Sunny became your new homeâbright, loud, and utterly unpredictable.
Sanji insisted on cooking you all your meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinnerâeach time, his cooking came with a full-on serenade, and if you didnât finish your plate, he might just shed a tear. âItâs not just food,â heâd say. âItâs love. Itâs my soul in a dish!â
Nami dragged you into shopping sprees with no regard for your dwindling supplies or your protestations. âYou need to look fabulous, Y/N. Donât you want to blend in with the rest of us?â sheâd tease, while tossing a dozen new outfits into your arms. You always ended up spending more than you intended, but there was something so infectious about her enthusiasm that you couldnât bring yourself to care.
Robin was the one who quietly fascinated you. Youâd find her at all hours of the day, absorbed in reading a book or studying the surroundings with quiet intensity. There was something about the way she looked at you, like she already knew your secrets but would never pry.
And then there was Luffy. Always smiling. Always laughing. He treated you as though you were already part of the crew. No pretense, no hesitation. You didnât even need to be invited. You were just⊠in.
âWanna ride on top of the mast?â Luffy asked one morning, as casually as if he were asking if you wanted a snack.
You stared up at the towering mast, then back at him. âIs that⊠safe?â
âNope! shishishiâ he beamed, looking excited about the prospect.
Somehow, that made it make sense to climb up there with him. He helped you up like it was nothing, laughing all the while. The wind whipped through your hair, and for the first time in a long while, you felt alive. You werenât just existing anymore.
Zoro, ever the silent guardian, began training near you. You noticed him constantly observing your movements, his gaze intense but not unwelcome. One day, you lost your footing on deck, but before you could even react, his hand shot out and steadied you.
He didnât say much, just stared at you for a moment, before clearing his throat and muttering, âWatch your step, dumbass.â
Romance, clearly.
It crept in slowly. Unnoticed, at first.
Sanjiâs compliments, light-hearted at first, began to hold a different weight. âYou look beautiful today, Y/N~chwannâ heâd say with a soft smile, not just as a joke, but as something that meant more.
Namiâs teasing turned into lingering glances, moments where her eyes softened when she thought no one was looking.
Robinâs hand on yours during those quiet late-night reading sessions made your heart skip a beat, like it was a shared secret, a connection you didnât have the words to describe.
Zoroâs silence, once intimidating, became your comfort. When he was near, you didnât need to talk. You didnât need to explain yourself. He was just there, a steady presence.
And Luffyâs laughterâoh, Luffyâs laughter. It started to feel like home, like the sound of safety, of warmth. A constant reminder that with him around, there was nothing to fear.
But you kept your secret.
That was until one night, when you and Robin stood over a relic you had no business being near. It was buried deep beneath the cursed islandâs soil, half-buried like a forgotten truth. Robin stood behind you, arms crossed, waiting for you to decipher it. You already knew what it would say, but that didnât stop the rush of dread that surged within you as your fingers traced the ancient glyphs.
âYou know what it says, donât you?â Robinâs voice was barely a whisper. It wasnât a question. It was a statement.
You stiffened.
âItâs just a story,â you muttered, voice low.
Robin smiled, a soft and knowing smile, one that suggested she understood far more than she let on. âThen you should knowâtheyâd kill you for it.â
You didnât answer, didnât have the words. You just continued to trace the lines, the ancient language flowing effortlessly from your mind, sinking into the earth beneath your fingertips.
Everything changed when you found the half-buried Poneglyph on a cursed island.
It was a trap. Not for Luffy. Not for the Pirate King in the making.
For you.
You read the stone aloud, your voice quiet, shaking slightly. And for the first time in your life, the stone responded.
The words were not just etched into stone, not just an inscriptionâit was a message. A message that burned through the world like a beacon.
âThe last of the Whisperers,â it said. âHunted. Hidden. Forbidden.â
The ground shook. The air turned electric. The Poneglyphs around you shimmered, the glyphs becoming light, illuminating the island with a soft, ethereal glow.
The Straw Hats arrived just as you stumbled backward, your eyes wide, heart pounding, the power coursing through you like an uncontrollable force. The glyphs pulsed, and the power in your veins burned bright.
âWhatâs happening?!â Usopp screamed, looking ready to fight a ghost.
You looked at themâat your crewâand whispered, âThey were hunting us. People who could read these stones. I shouldnât exist.â
There was silence.
Then Luffy stepped forward, his voice unwavering, âYouâre not alone.â
The Marines came shortly after.
You fought, of course you did.
For the first time in your life, you let the power in your blood surge freely. The words of the stone became light, flames of energy erupting from the ground as you slashed through the battlefield, carving the very earth with your newfound strength. You cracked the islandâs crust. You didnât even know you could do that.
Sanjiâs hand grabbed yours as the ground beneath you cracked, pulling you from the collapsing cliff. Zoro fought beside you, silent and determined. Robinâs steady hand on yours kept you grounded in the chaos.
When the battle was over, and the last Marine had been driven back, you passed out.
You woke in the infirmary, Chopper hovering over you, his worried eyes darting around like he was waiting for you to disappear again. Franky was sitting beside you, sobbing into a bowl of soup.
âYou scared us, you moron,â Nami whispered, brushing your hair back from your face. Her voice was soft, a rare tenderness that made your heart ache.
Robin kissed your temple as she hovered over you, whispering, âYouâre more than your gift.â
Sanji didnât say anything, but his presence was unmistakable. He curled up beside you, pressing his forehead to your shoulder, a silent vow of protection.
Zoro sat across from you, cleaning his swords. âDonât ever do that alone again.â
And Luffy⊠Luffy beamed at you, that infectious smile lighting up his face as he exclaimed, âYouâre stuck with us forever now!â
The tension unraveled like fraying rope.
Nami kissed you when you least expected it, quick and teasing, a spark of affection.
Robin kissed you in the library, with parchment between your hands, and the world felt like it stopped turning for a moment.
Sanji kissed you with all the intensity of someone who had been waiting for years, every touch filled with longing.
Zoro kissed you like it was the only thing that made sense, his hands warm and steady.
And LuffyâLuffyâs kiss was upside down, playful, and completely unexpected, but perfect in the way only Luffy could be.
Usopp ran away screaming, âAAAH! ROMANCE ATTACK!â
Chopper fainted. Twice.
Brook played a love song with three verses about your âsultry stareâ that made everyone uncomfortable except Sanji, who wept.
Franky asked if you wanted to build a heart-shaped cannon to âblast your feelings at the world.â You said yes. It now sits in the garden.
Jinbei just gave you a nod and said, âItâs about time.â
You werenât a secret anymore.
You were theirs.
Not claimed, not ownedâbut cherished. Loved, wholly and fiercely.
And though the world may hunt you, you had a crew that would burn it down before they let anyone take you.
Hello, great and wonderful writer. Could you please write something romantic? Y/n is in the Navy. A high-ranking officer handling confidential information. A few years ago, she was recruited, or rather, kidnapped, by Shirohige's pirates. The reason was the younger sister of one of his crew members. Ace Fire Fist, his older brother. I looked at her from across the stone bars of the sea. Ace's head, part of his face, and ribs were bandaged. "You should at least listen to me. Was such violence against your brother necessary?" Go away, you whispered. Shirohige isn't my father. I hate you for bringing me here. Ace and Maco. Tell that scoundrel Phoenix he's a coward. Traitor. Y/n. I'm the daughter of the pirate king and part of the navy. I'll be promoted to Mary Geoise. Do you think they won't come for me because they have me in the Whitebeard? Let me go, Ace. Slightly blushing, ignoring Marco, who was arriving with Ace. Attacking me, attacking my subordinates by betrayal is unforgivable. This time, she glared furiously at Marco.
Please
hii! this is cool! tho i still have a bit of confusion, and i hope i delivered ur rqst well, I hope u like this~
Fractured Allegiance
Captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, Vice Admiral Y/N â daughter of the Pirate King â struggles between her loyalty to the Marines and the unexpected pull of those she once called traitors⊠especially the ever-patient Marco.

The stone bars between you and your brother were thick, carved from Seastone, humming with a subtle oppressive energy. You could feel it biting into your skin even from this distance, dulling your strength, your spirit, everything that made you you.
Ace was slumped on the other side, ribs and face wrapped in clean white bandages, his fire extinguished for now. You stared at him across the gloom of the ship's brig, arms crossed, uniform jacket rumpled but still bearing the Vice Admiral insignia with stubborn pride.
"You should at least listen to me," Ace muttered, voice cracking. "Was such violence against your brother necessary?"
You laughed â a hollow, bitter sound. "Go away," you said, coldly. Your voice didn't tremble. It hadn't in years.
You shifted your glare past him, past the flickering torchlight, to the familiar figure approaching from the stairs â golden hair, blue eyes sharp but cautious. Marco. Phoenix. The so-called First Division Commander.
You hated the way your chest clenched at the sight of him. You hated them all.
"Tell that scoundrel," you hissed, your eyes locking onto Ace again, "tell that phoenix he's a coward. A traitor. Just like you."
Ace winced, but he didn't rise to defend himself. Not today. Marco's steps slowed, his expression unreadable.
"Y/N," Marco said, voice low, too soft for your taste. "You can hate us all you want. But you're not going back-yoi"
You bristled. "Shirohige isn't my father! My blood runs from the Pirate King," you snapped. "And I'm a Vice Admiral. Marine. I earned my place. I will be promoted to Mary Geoiseâ" Your voice cracked, but you pushed forward, unwavering. "Do you really think the Navy won't come for me?"
Silence.
Marco's face twitched â just for a second â something like regret flashing behind his calm mask. Ace looked away entirely, staring at the floor, guilt heavy on his shoulders.
They didnât answer. They didn't have to.
Your heart sank, cold and sharp like a knife between your ribs. They wouldn't come for you. Not when you were Rogerâs daughter. Not when you were tainted.
Your fists clenched at your sides. "Let me go," you whispered, the words slicing the air like a blade. "Let me go, Ace. Marco. I'll pretend none of this happened. I'llâ"
"Youâll do what?" Marcoâs voice, quiet but cutting. You flinched.
"You'll report us?" Marco continued, stepping closer to the bars. His gaze never left yours. "Lead a Buster Call? Burn us alive? Like what happened to O'Hara?"
You bared your teeth. "Don't you dare compare me to the cowards who ordered that slaughter. I have honor. Iâ"
"You have pride," Marco corrected gently. "Same as Pops. Same as Ace."
You shook your head violently. "I don't need your lectures." The air was stifling. The walls seemed to press in. You hated them. You hated them so much it burned. And yetâ
Your chest ached. You didn't know if it was from the Seastone... or the way Marco was looking at you. Not with pity. Not with anger. With something worse. Something almost tender.
You turned away sharply, feeling your cheeks heat against your will. You cursed yourself a thousand times over.
Hours passed. Maybe days. Time meant nothing inside the brig.
Ace brought you food. You didn't touch it. Marco checked your wounds. You slapped his hand away.
Every interaction was a battlefield â silent, brutal, exhausting. You refused to let your guard down. You refused to let them see you as anything but a Vice Admiral. A soldier. A daughter worthy of her fatherâs legacy.
But at night, when the others slept above deck and the ship swayed gently under the stars, you caught glimpses of Marco sitting across from your cell. Silent. Watching.
You thought at first he was standing guard. But it wasnât that. It was worse.
Marco didnât look at you like an enemy. He looked at you like someone he already mourned.
One night, when the bruises on your ribs throbbed too much to hide, you collapsed onto the cold stone floor, breathless.
Before you could bark at anyone, warm hands â frustratingly gentle â slid under your arms, lifting you with ease. You struggled, snarling curses, but Marco didnât flinch.
"You stubborn little thing," he muttered, voice almost fond. "You're hurt. Stop pretending you're made of stone-yoi"
You froze. He could have mocked you. Could have gloated. Instead, he held you like you were fragile, precious.
You hated it. You hated that you didn't pull away immediately.
When he settled you back against the wall, slipping a folded coat behind your head for comfort, your heart hammered wildly against your ribs.
"You're a fool," you whispered hoarsely. Your throat burned, but the words came anyway. "A fool for thinking this ends well."
Marco smiled faintly â a soft, heartbreaking thing.
"Maybe," he agreed. "But you're not alone anymore, Y/N. Whether you like it or not."
You squeezed your eyes shut. You didnât want this. You didnât want the way your body remembered the warmth of his hands, the steadiness of his presence, the way your brother looked at you with aching hope instead of disappointment.
You didnât want to belong anywhere but the Navy.
And yet⊠something inside you â broken and bleeding â whispered that maybe, maybe you were so tired of fighting.
The next morning, you sat cross-legged on the cell floor, staring at the iron key Marco had left just within reach.
No one else was around. Ace was above deck. Marco was gone, trusting you with a choice.
Freedom. Or trust.
You could leave. Slip into the waves, find a Marine ship, turn them all in. You could be the perfect Vice Admiral.
Orâ
You looked at the open horizon through the porthole. The sea sparkled in the sunlight. Wild. Untamed.
Free.
Your fingers brushed the key. Your hand trembled.
And for the first time in years, you didnât know which side you were fighting for.
thank u for this! tho idk what this is, you dont have to gift me anything but either way i really appreciate it!!! đââïžđ„°
Hello, thank you so much for writing this story about Marco. I loved it. I've never read a good ending to the war. One of the best. You're a goddess.
hii~ thank uu sm! i really appreciate it!! im worried that its still missing some things but either way im glad u enjoyed it!
LET'S ROCK đ„
Hello, good morning. I'd like to request a story. Please.
Redheaded Shanks by Y/n Shanks, T/n, and Buggy were apprentices and friends on the Jackson Gold. T/n and Shanks had a strong relationship. After the crew abandoned their young apprentices and the crew disbanded, the trio of boys went their separate ways.
Years later, Shanks, without knowing anything about Y/n, found out she was in the Navy. He couldn't believe his eyes. He knew she hated the Marines. They were the ones who killed her family. So why is she with them?
When he was able to locate her, he found out she was a vice admiral in the Navy. He found her in a bar where his subordinates were eating. When she left to return to the ship, the redhead took her to a dark alley. The woman didn't recognize him, or rather, she didn't want to recognize him. She tried to leave him. Then he kissed her. The woman blushed, you idiot, leave me pushing him. Please.
hehe~ this is a nice idea! i hope this is to your liking!
đđđđĄđđąđ«, đđĄđąđđđđđ©đŹ, đđ§đ đđ„đ đđđđ«đŹ
Years after you went to separate ways, fate and a stubborn redhead force old scars to the surfaceâand maybe, just maybe, a second chance too.

It wasnât often that Red-Haired Shanks was left speechless.
But there he was, jaw slack, hand frozen midway to his tankard of ale, staring at the newspaper Benn Beckman slapped onto the table like it personally offended him.
Vice Admiral (Y/N), the youngest rising star of the Navy.
Clear as day. A picture too â you, standing proud in a sharp white coat, sword at your hip, a grim smirk on your lips that Shanks knew wasnât real.
"You're kidding," Shanks breathed.
"Afraid not," Benn muttered, biting down on his cigar. "They say this one's the 'Steel Lady' of the seas. Ruthless. Brilliant. Deadly."
"Sounds sexy," Lucky Roo said between mouthfuls.
Shanks didnât laugh. He didnât move.
You, wearing their uniform? Their colors? The ones who burned your home, slaughtered your family, the reason you once spat the word "Marine" like poison?
It didnât make sense.
It hurt.
Buggyâs old shrill voice rang in his head â "She'd rather die than join the Navy, you dumbass!"
(Back then, they were just kids â him, Buggy, and you. Apprentices. Family.)
What the hell happened to you, (Y/N)?
The tavern was roaring with laughter, Red-Hairâs men in full swing, clinking mugs and howling songs.
Shanks barely heard them. His single eye was pinned to the entrance.
You walked in like you owned the damn place.
Your Vice Admiral coat fluttered behind you, and you barely spared a glance at the pirates crowding the booths. You ignored the gawking stares, the muttered curses. Just went straight to the bar, ordered a drink like it was any other Tuesday.
Cool as hell, Shanks thought numbly.
You nursed your whiskey quietly. No friends. No entourage.
A thousand memories burned behind his eyes â your laughter, your scowl, your hand tugging his when he was too slow, your voice mocking Buggy into oblivion.
You looked⊠older now. Stronger. Sharper.
Lonelier.
When you finished your drink, you slid a few beli across the counter, nodded at the bartender, and headed for the door without a backward glance.
Shanks was already moving.
You sensed him before he touched you â instincts honed razor-sharp. You whirled around in the dark alley, hand already at your sword.
âEasy, easy," Shanks laughed, stepping out of the shadows, hands raised in surrender. "Itâs just me, (Y/N)."
You froze.
For a heartbeat, your face was naked â shock, pain, longing â before you slammed the shutters down.
"I donât know you," you said flatly, voice cold enough to bite.
Ouch.
Shanks smirked, tilting his head. "Oh, come on. Thatâs not very nice. After all those years?"
"Move." You sidestepped him.
He moved with you, blocking your path like a giant, infuriating wall of muscle and grinning teeth.
"Iâm serious," you snapped, shoving his chest. "Get out of my way."
"You recognized me," he said smugly.
You scowled.
Big mistake.
Because that's when Shanks grabbed you â not rough, but firm, calloused hands catching your wrist and yanking you flush against him. You gasped, instinctively swinging your knee, but he twisted, laughing, spinning you into the wall.
"Still feisty," he chuckled, eyes gleaming.
You gritted your teeth. "Let go, Red Hair, before I make you regret it."
Shanks leaned closer, voice dropping. "Why, Vice Admiral? Scared you might miss me?"
You went still.
God, you hated him sometimes. Hated that he still smelled like salt and sunlight, like stupid wild freedom. Hated that your heart was hammering like it remembered every stupid kiss under stolen sunsets.
"You idiot," you muttered, voice cracking. "Leave me aloneâ"
He kissed you.
Hard. Desperate. Messy.
You stiffened â then shoved him hard, breaking the kiss with a ragged gasp, fists pounding weakly against his chest.
"Youâ jerk!" you hissed, cheeks blazing, but the punch you threw was sluggish. Shanks caught your wrist again easily, tugging you back into him with a breathless, stupid smile.
"Youâre still bad at punching," he teased, forehead pressed against yours.
"Youâre still bad at thinking," you grumbled, trying to look anywhere but at him.
He laughed, warm and rough and real.
Goddammit.
You wanted to cry. Or kill him. Or kiss him again.
Maybe all three.
You shoved him back and drew your sword in one smooth motion.
"I told you to leave," you growled, pointing the blade at his nose.
Shanks just grinned, one hand on his sword hilt. "If I beat you, you have to come have dinner with me."
You blinked. "What are you, twelve?"
"Is that a no?"
"Youâre on, bastard."
The clash was fast and brutal.
You moved first, slashing low, testing â he parried lazily with the flat of his blade, laughing like he wasnât even trying.
You scowled and sped up, strikes raining down like thunder. You werenât a kid anymore. You were a Vice Admiral, for godâs sake. Stronger. Smarter. Meaner.
But Shanks wasnât a kid either.
He was Shanks. Yonko. Legend.
He dodged your killing blows with maddening ease, ducking, weaving, flicking your sword aside with infuriating little nudges.
"Youâre slower than Buggy," he teased.
"Take that back!" you snarled, aiming for his head.
He sidestepped and flicked your forehead with one finger.
You yowled, stumbling back.
"You did not justâ!"
"Oooh, (Y/N)'s mad~," Shanks sang, dodging the next slash by an inch.
You tackled him.
Both of you crashed into a heap against the wall, laughing, panting, grappling like idiots.
Shanks pinned you easily, one knee on your stomach, both your wrists caught in one hand.
You glared up at him, chest heaving.
His smile faded, something soft creeping into his eyes.
"You grew up," he said quietly, thumb brushing your pulse.
"You didnât," you muttered.
He barked a short laugh. "Guess not."
The fight bled out of you.
For a moment, you just stared at each other. Breathing each other in.
You never forgot how he looked â wild, free, infuriating. He never forgot you either â fierce, stubborn, brilliant.
"I missed you," Shanks said roughly, voice cracking.
You swallowed.
"Missed you too, idiot."
He let you go.
You didnât run.
Instead, you slumped against the wall, arms limp at your sides, feeling like a ship run aground.
Shanks flopped down next to you, legs stretched out, shoulder bumping yours.
"You look good in white," he said, nudging your coat.
You snorted. "You look bad in red."
"Harsh."
"You deserve it."
He laughed again â that same easy, golden laugh â and for the first time in years, you smiled. Really smiled.
.
.
"So..." Shanks began after a long, comfortable silence. "Vice Admiral, huh?"
You picked at a loose thread on your glove. "Spy."
He blinked. "Huh!?"
"Iâm not really with them," you said, voice dropping. "Iâm... gathering information. Playing the long game."
"Youâre a double agent?!"
"Keep your voice down, dumbass!"
He clapped a hand over his mouth, eyes sparkling.
You rolled your eyes. "Itâs complicated. But yeah. Iâd never really join them. I just... needed a way to get close enough to tear them apart."
Shanks looked at you like you hung the moon.
"Youâre insane," he said, utterly delighted.
"You're one to talk."
He grinned wide and stupid, then threw his arm around your shoulder, tugging you into a rough side hug.
"I always knew you were the coolest," he said proudly.
You mock-gagged. "Gross. Get off."
"Never."
You didnât actually pull away.
Instead, you let your head fall against his shoulder, listening to his heartbeat. Steady. Warm. Real.
For the first time in years, you felt like maybe you werenât carrying the weight of the world alone.
Somewhere, across the seas, Buggy sneezed violently. "Ugh," he sniffled, glaring at his crew. "Someoneâs talking shit about me! I bet itâs those two idiots! I hate them!" (He didnât. Not really.)
.
.
.
As dawn broke over the water, you and Shanks sat on the rooftop of a random tavern, legs dangling over the edge.
He was telling you some ridiculous story about losing his hat and arm ("It wasnât my fault, okay?! There's a kid in East Blue who said the same thing as Captain Roger did, those same words of our captain!") and you were laughing so hard your ribs hurt.
You hadn't laughed like this in years.
Maybe... Maybe it wasnât too late.
Maybe you could still have something.
Him.
You glanced sideways â at his messy hair, his stupid, wide grin, the scar across his eye you hadnât dared touch yet.
Maybe you could still have home.
"Hey," you said, voice soft.
He turned to you, eyebrows raised.
You leaned in â quick, reckless â and kissed his cheek.
"You owe me dinner," you said, grinning.
Shanks blinked, stunned for once.
Then he whooped loud enough to wake half the town, tackling you in a bear hug.
Somewhere between the laughter, the yelling, and the ridiculous wrestling match that followed, you realized something.
You werenât lost anymore.
Espionage and Eavesdropping
You just wanted to surprise your Yonko boyfriend with something sweet. Shanks, however, misunderstands everything and thinks you're hiding a lover aboard.

You shouldâve known better than to try anything secretive on a ship full of pirates with nothing better to do.
But here you were, crouched behind a stack of rum barrels in the shipâs lower deck, notebook clutched in one hand, whispering into a den den mushi like you were planning a military coup.
âI just need it by Thursday,â you hissed. âAnd donât forget the edible glitter! It has to sparkle like Shanksâs ego.â
The den den mushi blinked at you slowly, mimicking your furrowed brows. âSparkle. Got it. Any other unreasonable demands?â
âMake it look dangerously romantic, but also incredibly cool.â
âSounds like you want a wedding cake without the wedding.â
You paused. ââŠDonât say that out loud. Heâll hear it and assume Iâm trying to marry someone else.â
And two decks above you, curled beneath a conveniently placed hammock and eavesdropping like a man twice his age, Shanks the Red-Haired Yonko of the Sea, whispered into his own den den mushi.
âI think theyâre marrying someone else.â
âWhat?â Benn Beckmanâs voice was dry.
âI just heard them say âdonât say that out loud, heâll think Iâm marrying someone else.â Thatâs exactly what someone whoâs definitely hiding an affair says, right?!â
âShanksââ
âI KNEW they were too beautiful to be loyal.â
âYouâre the most dramatic man on this ship.â
âIâm going to fake my own death and see if they cry.â
The misunderstanding began three days ago, when you asked Lucky Roux to quietly sneak into town and pick up something discreet and delicate. Youâd given him a long list with unnecessary glitter stars and bold underlines, swore him to secrecy, and told him, âTell no one. Especially Shanks. Not even if heâs dying. Especially not if heâs dying.â
Unfortunately, someone else heard that.
And Shanks? He took it personally.
Now you were organizing a surprise celebration for his birthday (which he had claimed he didnât care about, like a liar), enlisting crew members with the stealth of a sea cat, and every time Shanks looked at you, you panicked like a criminal caught red-handed.
So of course he thought something was going on.
Youâd whisper to Yasopp, run away from Hongo, disappear for hours, and dodge Shanks with the finesse of someone avoiding a breakup talk. He started following you in secret, wearing a cape and fake mustache, hiding behind crates that were nowhere near his size.
Benn walked past him one day and muttered, âThis is why we canât have normal relationships.â
Day Four.
You were on the main deck, whispering into your notebook.
âBennâs distracting him with fake wine. Hongoâs handling the fireproof sparklers. Yasopp is swearing on his sonâs life not to tell. I just need toââ
ââtell me who youâre seeing.â
You jumped so hard you nearly tossed the notebook overboard.
âShanks! What the hellâhow did you sneak up on me like that?!â
He was squinting suspiciously, arm on his hip, shirt loose, and hair windblown in a way that made him look far too attractive to be pulling this level of paranoid nonsense.
âI have connections,â he said ominously.
âOkay?â
âLucky Roux saw you give a note to a pigeon.â
âFirst of all, it was a cake-ordering pigeon, and secondâwait, thatâs not the point. What?â
âYouâve been sneaking around. Whispering into things. Saying suspicious phrases like âdonât tell Shanks even if heâs dying.â What am I supposed to think?!â
âThat Iâm planning something nice?â
âThat youâre cheating!â
You blinked. Then blinked again.
ââŠCheating? Shanks. Darling. Love of my life. Who on this ship could I possibly be cheating on you with?!â
He pointed dramatically toward the horizon. âSomeone from another crew! A beautiful stranger with a strong jawline and a charming laughââ
âThatâs literally you.â
âWait. Is this a reverse surprise? Am I the stranger?!â
âNo!â you laughed, smacking his chest. âIâm planning a surprise party for you, you idiot!â
ââŠOh.â
You narrowed your eyes. âDid you⊠spy on me?â
Shanks hesitated. Then lifted one leg onto a crate like a theater actor mid-monologue. âIâll have you know I was on a noble quest for truth, love, and the prevention of heartbreak.â
âYou wore a mustache and tried to climb the rigging, didnât you.â
He coughed. âIrrelevant.â
You groaned, laughing despite yourself. âUnbelievable. You thought I was cheating, so you started counter-spying?â
He nodded solemnly. âIt was a matter of pride. Also, Benn said if I was wrong, I owed him all my sake.â
ââŠAnd were you wrong?â
Shanks looked at you. Then at the crew. Then back at you.
ââŠMaybe. But in my defense, you are very suspicious when you whisper.â
Cue Party Day.
Despite the chaos, the confusion, and the unnecessary disguises, the party was perfect.
The deck was transformed with string lights, stolen silk drapes, a truly dangerous amount of glitter, and a cake shaped like his own face (your idea, obviously). A very confused seagull in a bowtie delivered the final decorations.
Shanks walked into the surprise party pretending to be shockedâeven though heâd definitely heard the band warming up from below deckâand laughed like it was the greatest moment of his life.
âYou did all this for me?â he beamed.
You crossed your arms. âYes. Even though you accused me of having a secret affair.â
He grinned, wrapping an arm around your shoulder. âWell, I would cheat on me for you, so I get it.â
ââŠThat doesnât make any sense.â
âIt doesnât have to. Iâm handsome.â
He kissed your cheek before you could argue, then pulled you onto the dance floorâbarefoot, wild, and surrounded by pirates singing off-key. At some point, Lucky Roux accidentally ignited the fireproof sparklers (which were not fireproof), and Benn had to douse the deck while muttering about retirement.
You and Shanks ended the night lying on a picnic blanket made from stolen tavern tablecloths, eating leftover cake straight from the tray.
âNext time you plan a surprise,â he mumbled, mouth full, âjust⊠tell me itâs not a secret affair.â
You poked his cheek. âOnly if you donât go full spy-movie mode again.â
He smiled. âDeal. Unless you start whispering to birds again. Then all bets are off.â
The next morning, you woke to find Shanks crouched on the figurehead, holding a long telescope and muttering, âThe pigeon is back. I repeat. The pigeon. Is. Back.â
You dragged a pillow over your face and groaned.
Some things never change.

SHANKS
You were many things aboard the Red Forceâcalm, sharp-tongued, and painfully unbothered by Shanksâ endless antics.
You were also completely unaware of the fact that the most feared (and flirted-with) captain in the New World couldnât seem to stop touching you.
Not in a creepy way. Not even in a romantic way⊠at least, not that you noticed.
Heâd toss an arm around your shoulders like it was a habit. Rest his hand on your waist when laughing. Tug you into his side when something âdangerousâ happened, like a slightly aggressive breeze or a seagull flying too low.
You just chalked it up to him being Shanks.
Until, one bright morning, the crew decided enough was enough.
It started with Benn Beckman sighing dramatically as he walked onto the deck.
âDo you two need a room or something?â
You blinked from where you stood, arms crossed. âWeâre not even doing anything.â
Benn pointed. âHis hand has been on your lower back for ten minutes.â
Shanks blinked down at his own hand like it betrayed him. âHuh. Didnât even notice.â
You raised a brow. âAre you okay? Do you have tactile issues?â
Lucky Roux snorted as he passed by with a turkey leg. âYeah, itâs called âfalling for someone and not knowing what to do with your hands.ââ
Shanks turned red. You remained⊠utterly unaffected.
âTouch-starved pirate disease,â Lime Juice muttered, jotting fake notes like a doctor. âTragic. Symptoms include: prolonged physical contact, excessive grinning, and spontaneous cuddling in public.â
Hongo popped his head out of the crowâs nest. âI saw him brush your hair behind your ear during the storm last week.â
âThat was because it got in their face,â Shanks defended.
You nodded. âHe didnât want me to get stabbed by my own bangs. Very heroic.â
âYouâre wearing a braid,â Yasopp called from the helm.
A long pause.
ââŠOkay, Iâm not good with excuses,â Shanks muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. His hand bumped yours in the process.
You tilted your head, eyes narrowing. âCaptain.â
âYes?â
âYouâre touching me again.â
â...I genuinely didnât notice DAHAHAHA.â
The crew erupted into laughter.
You blinked slowly and glanced down at your joined hands, then back up at him. âYouâve been holding my hand for a minute now. You good?â
âMaybe.â
You stared.
He stared.
ââŠYouâre kinda warm,â he added, grinning.
âIâm wearing gloves.â
âExactly. Impressive.â
You didnât smile, but your voice was flat with dry humor. âYou wanna marry me, too? Get it over with?â
Shanks choked. âWhoaâwhat?â
âYouâre already touching me like Iâm your lover. Might as well commit.â
The crew howled.
âIâm starting to like them more than you, Cap,â Benn said, lighting a cigar.
âTheyâve got more bite,â Lime Juice grinned.
Lucky Roux offered you a celebratory turkey leg like a sword. âYou just proposed better than he ever could.â
You calmly took it, giving a single nod. âThanks. I accept my own proposal.â
Shanks was still frozen. âWait, are we actually engaged now?â
You took a slow bite of the turkey leg, deadpan. âKeep touching me like that, and youâll owe me alimony.â
ZORO
You were minding your own businessâarms crossed, eyes half-lidded, back leaned slightly against the Sunnyâs railingâwhen a familiar weight thunked into your side.
Again.
You didnât flinch, didnât glance, didnât even blink. Just spoke.
âZoro.â
âWhat.â
âYouâre doing it again.â
âDoing what.â
âTreating me like a living chair.â
He grunted. âYouâre stable. And not annoying.â
âThatâs a compliment?â you asked, still deadpan.
âTake it or leave it.â
The crew had noticed. Of course they had. This was the sixth day in a row Zoro had casually latched onto you like a sleepy barnacle.
âOi, mosshead!â Sanji snapped, appearing from the galley with smoke swirling and a righteous fury in his eyes. âGet off them, you clingy cucumber!â
Zoro cracked open an eye. âMake me.â
âOh, I will!â Sanji stomped over dramatically. âY/N-chwaann shouldnât have to carry your freeloading swordsman body weight! If anyone deserves to be close to them, itâs me!â
You raised an eyebrow. âYou literally tripped into my lap yesterday trying to âtie your shoe.â You were barefoot.â
âIt was a metaphor!â Sanji cried. âFor falling head over heels!â
Zoro scoffed. âThat was the dumbest thing Iâve ever heard.â
âSays the mossy limpet glued to their side like a touchy fungus!â
Zoro didnât move. âJealousyâs not a good look, curly.â
âYouâ!!â
âGuys,â Nami sighed, âcanât we go one day without turning affection into a shouting match?â
Brook leaned on his cane, chuckling. âYohohoho! Young love⊠or something!â
Usopp squinted. âWait. Has Zoro always been this clingy with Y/N?â
Robin smiled mysteriously. âSince thriller bark, at least.â
Franky nodded solemnly. âSaw him fall asleep on their shoulder mid-battle once. SUPER unconscious.â
âI thought he was dead,â Chopper added, horrified. âTurns out he was just really comfy.â
Zoroâs grip on your shoulder tightened very slightly, and you finally glanced sideways at him.
âDo you know youâre this touchy?â you asked.
He looked like he wanted to evaporate into the deck. âI⊠just donât mind you being close.â
You blinked slowly. âIs that samurai code for âI like youâ?â
Sanji audibly gagged. âOi! Donât flirt in front of me!â
âWeâre not flirting,â you said.
Zoro mumbled, âMight be.â
Sanji died inside.
âY/N-chwannâ he said gravely, dropping to one knee. âI beg of youâpick me instead! I would never lean on you like a sweaty tree log!â
Zoro growled. âBecause youâd faint from being close.â
âAT LEAST IâD DIE HANDSOME!â
You looked between the two of them and sighed.
âI just want to drink my tea without being fought over,â you muttered, walking offâZoro immediately following, like a shadow with swords.
âYouâre still touching me,â you noted.
âDidnât say Iâd stop,â he replied casually.
You stopped walking, turned, and looked him square in the eye.
âYouâre aware this is very couple-coded, right?â
He blinked, then grunted. âGuess we should make it official then.â
You blinked right back. âThat was fast.â
âWhy waste time.â
You smirked just a little. âRomantic.â
He shrugged. âYouâre warm. And you donât talk too much.â
âThatâs your idea of a proposal?â
âWorked, didnât it?â
From behind you, Sanji dramatically screamed into the ocean.
MIHAWK
Kuraigana Island was a wasteland of stone, wind, and uncomfortable silences. You didnât mind. You were the type to thrive in eerie places â quiet, observant, and allergic to nonsense.
Which is probably why Mihawk didnât bother with small talk.
Or... so you thought.
Lately, the worldâs greatest swordsman had developed a habit of materializing wherever you were. Youâd be cleaning a blade â and there he was, pouring tea. Youâd sit on the crumbling stone wall for some air â and there heâd be, suddenly trimming the overgrown vines right next to you.
At first, you thought it was coincidence.
Until today.
â...You know you donât have to sharpen every one of my knives,â you said flatly, watching him work silently at the bench beside you.
âI didnât,â Mihawk replied, still honing the blade. âOnly the dull ones.â
You blinked. âThat was my butter knife.â
âThen it was very dull.â
From the far side of the ruins, Zoro grunted as he finished a set of squats. âHe refilled their canteen twice this morning.â
âOnce,â Mihawk corrected, still not looking up.
âTwice,â Zoro insisted. âOnce after breakfast. Then again after they just looked at the sink.â
Perona floated down with a snort. âHe also folded their coat. While they were still wearing it.â
You narrowed your eyes. âWait. Is that why my sleeves were shorter for a second?â
âYou had a wrinkle.â
âI always have a wrinkle.â
Mihawk looked up with that unreadable expression. âAnd now you donât.â
Zoro huffed. âWhat even is this? He acts like a butler. But like, a scary one.â
Mihawk narrowed his eyes at him. âIâm not a butler.â
âCouldâve fooled me,â Perona muttered, arms crossed. âYou fixed the strap on their satchel too.â
Mihawk didnât respond to that.
Perona raised a brow. âYou gonna deny it?â
âNo,â Mihawk said coolly, âbecause it was crooked.â
Zoro leaned against a stone pillar, towel around his neck. âHe also moved your seat at the dining table.â
âThat was my seat,â you said.
Mihawk finally gave you a long, side glance. âYouâve sat on the left for the past four mornings. I simply ensured it remained consistent.â
You deadpanned. âYou rearranged the furniture.â
âBriefly.â
Zoro stared. âAnd when they tripped over that vineââ
âI cut the vine before they fell,â Mihawk snapped with a tone just shy of defensive.
âBro. You lunged across the courtyard.â
Mihawk sipped his wine calmly. âIt was in the way.â
You raised an eyebrow. âAnd when you pulled me by the hood into the shade the other day?â
âYou were overheating.â
âI wasnât sweating.â
âYou were blinking slowly.â
You stared. âThatâs just how I blink.â
There was a long pause.
Then Perona gasped. âWait, wait â you also fixed the strap on their scabbard!â
âI adjusted it. The weight distribution was uneven.â
Zoro clapped once, grinning. âSo you are clingy.â
Mihawkâs eyes narrowed, the glint in them sharp and dangerous. âI am not.â
You leaned your chin on your hand, amused. âThen what would you call this?â
He paused. âAwareness.â
Perona lost it. âYou mean hyper-awareness. Of one (1) person.â
Mihawk ignored her. âItâs strategic. I simply ensure you're at your most efficient.â
âThatâs not efficiency,â Zoro said, wiping his forehead. âThatâs doting.â
Mihawk arched a brow. âYou think a swordsman cannot be observant?â
âYou folded their laundry in order of fabric weight.â
âThey prefer it that way.â
You blinked. âI never said that.â
He side-eyed you, expression cool. âYou didnât need to.â
You blinked again.
Zoro grunted. âYou see? Heâs acting like weâre all weird for noticing.â
Perona jabbed a finger toward him. âHe's totally doing the âif I act calm, no one will notice I'm obsessedâ thing.â
Mihawk finally gave a soft, tired sigh â the kind that said you people are exhausting.
Then, turning to you, he asked, âWould you like tea?â
âI havenât said I was thirsty.â
He didnât blink. âYou will be.â
You stared. âAre you psychic?â
âNo,â he said simply. âYouâre predictable.â
You squinted. â...That sounds like flirting.â
Mihawk blinked slowly. âI donât flirt.â
Perona groaned. âOH MY GODââ
Mihawk stood up, cloak sweeping behind him, expression unreadable as always. He held out the canteen like heâd already won this conversation.
You took it with narrowed eyes, muttering, âThanks... I guess.â
He nodded, calm as ever. âYouâre welcome.â
Zoro crossed his arms. âStill denying it?â
Mihawk looked at all of them â then at you â and with perfect poise said,
âIâm just efficient.â
And with that, he turned and walked away.
You stared after him, took a sip from the canteen, and sighed.
ââŠEfficiently annoying.â
Hello, hello, how are you? Can I please ask you for a story? Marco from the Shirohige Pirates finds out by chance that he's going to be a father. đ€Ł
T/n is Ace's sister, a Marine, and a vice admiral. And Marco's partner, although they see each other occasionally. Marco found out. She had been acting strange the last time they saw each other.
Aunque se ofreciĂł a examinarla, ella se negĂł porque, segĂșn ella, no serĂa objetivo con su diagnĂłstico. DĂas despuĂ©s, T/n se embarcarĂa en una nueva misiĂłn: escoltar a nobles mundiales.
T/n was leaning on her desk, feeling a little dizzy. It's lucky her assistant gives all the orders to the others while she's feeling ill. Not even her haki has been working well these past few weeks. Hello...
T/n dio un salto y casi tirĂł un vaso de jarabe para el mareo que le habĂa traĂdo el mĂ©dico del barco. T/n retirĂł el vaso discretamente, pero Marco lo notĂł. Siempre estaba tan claro, pero yo no lo habĂa notado.
Y/n, "Hey, what's going on here? I think our next appointment is in two weeks, don't you darling?" Trying to sound normal. Covering herself with her coat. A few folders were falling.
T/n tenĂa que proteger su secreto. Seguramente, si Ă©l lo descubrĂa, la arrastrarĂa. No peor. Probablemente se enojarĂa con ella por no haberle dicho nada.
Vice Admiral, we're ready. The doctor asks if she's feeling better yet. Seeing the pirate in front of her, Wait, Marco, don't do it. But Marco was faster. The man was already unconscious on the floor. Y/N got up worriedly to check on her subordinate, but Maco grabbed her wrist. She was even thinner than the last time he saw her.
sounds cool tried my best >< tis not much but hope u like it, i apologize in advance if its not that accurate lolol

The ship rocked gently under the pull of the current, but your head swam like you were being thrashed in a whirlpool. Vice Admiral or not, no amount of rank could prepare you for the unpredictable wrath of morning sickness.
Leaning on your desk, you pressed two fingers to your temple, squinting at a report you werenât processing. Your assistant was already barking orders outside your office doorâthank the heavens. You hadn't given a single command since sunrise.
Then, like a damn ghost in broad daylightâ
"Hello."
You jumped, nearly upending a glass of syrup meant to settle your stomach. It sloshed dangerously before you caught it, hurriedly sliding it behind a folder.
And there he stood. Marco the Phoenix.
Golden hair, calm ocean-blue eyes, and a presence that had always made your heart ache in the worst and best ways. Your partner, occasional lover, and the last person you wanted to see right now.
"...Hey," you started, voice too casual. âWhatâs going on here? I think our next appointment is in two weeks, donât you, darling?â You tugged your coat tighter over your chest as a few folders slipped off your desk.
Marco didnât smile. His gaze flicked toward the now half-hidden glass. âMotion sickness?â he asked, and his tone was far too neutral.
âLong voyage,â you replied quickly. âThe escort mission has been dragging through choppy waters.â
The look in his eyes made it clear he wasnât buying that.
You forced a light laugh, walking around the desk to pick up the fallen papers. âIâm not made of sea-stone. Even Vice Admirals get woozy sometimes.â
âYou wouldnât even let me examine you last time-yoiâ he said, stepping closer. âYou said I wasnât objective.â
âI stand by that.â
He tilted his head. âYou didnât even let me try.â
You swallowed. No way in hell were you going to talk about this. You were already gambling every inch of this mission by just standing here, trying to keep a secret from the one man who literally healed people for a living.
"Vice Admiral!" your assistant called from outside. "The nobles are waiting. The doctor asks if you're feeling better yet."
You could see the moment the dots fully connected in Marco's sharp gaze.
"WaitâMarco, don'tâ"
Too late. In one swift movement, Marco disappeared in a flash of blue and reappeared outside. You dashed after him just in time to see your medic crumple to the ground with a startled grunt.
"Marco!"
You dropped to check your subordinateâs pulseâhe was unconscious, not harmed seriouslyâbut Marcoâs hand clamped gently but firmly around your wrist.
âYouâre thinner than before-yoiâ he muttered. âYouâve been exhausted. Your Hakiâs off. And now motion sickness?â
You stared at him. âMarco, I swear, if you say itââ
âYouâre pregnant.â
The words hung in the air like cannon smoke.
You looked away, breath caught in your throat. âItâs none of yourââ
His grip tightened slightly, only to loosen as you flinched.
âI didnât mean to scare you.â he said. âBut you are, arenât you-yoi?â
Silence.
Finally, you exhaled. â...Yes.â
He stepped back. âIs it mine?â
Your head snapped toward him. âWhat? Of course itâs yours! Youâ! Weâ! I havenât been with anyone else, you idiot!â
Marco blinked. âI justâsorry. I wasnât accusing. Just⊠processing.â
He ran a hand through his blond hair, the tension in his usually relaxed frame tangible now.
You crossed your arms, trying to look like the proud Vice Admiral you were instead of the worldâs most irresponsible soon-to-be parent. âI didnât tell you because I thought youâd drag me back to the Grand Line and throw me in a nest of phoenix feathers.â
âYou were going to hide my kid from me-yoi?â
âI was going to figure things out myself first,â you said, quieter now. âI didnât want you to worry. We barely see each other as it is.â
âBecause weâre on opposite sides of the damn sea.â
âExactly.â
A long pause. You shifted uncomfortably, ignoring the familiar twist of nausea.
âI get it,â Marco finally said. âBut you shouldâve told me-yoiâ
You frowned, defensive. âYou think I donât know that? Itâs not like Iâm thrilled about this, Marco. Iâm a Vice Admiral. Youâre a pirate. AceâAce wouldâve flipped if he knew.â
Marco smiled faintly. âAce wouldâve been smug as hell. He always said weâd end up together.â
That made your eyes sting, unexpectedly. â...Donât do that. Donât talk about him like heâs still here.â
Marco stepped closer, resting a hand on your shoulder. âYouâre not alone in this-yoi.â
âYouâre not exactly on call, either.â
âThen Iâll make myself available.â
Your brows shot up. âYouâre serious?â
âDead serious,â he said. âYouâre having my kid. I might be a pirate, but Iâm not irresponsible. Iâll be there.â
You stared at him, seeing not just the Phoenix, the First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Piratesâbut Marco. The man who always showed up exactly when you needed him, even if you didnât say it aloud.
He took your hand and pressed it to his chest. âYou donât have to hide anymore-yoiâ
You let out a long sigh, finally allowing yourself to lean into his warmth. âI still have to finish this mission.â
He groaned. âOf course you do.â
You smirked. âI am a Vice Admiral.â
âYouâre a pregnant Vice Admiral.â
âDonât remind me.â
Later that night, you found yourself leaning against the rail of the ship, the cool breeze easing your nausea better than the syrup. Marco leaned beside you, arms crossed, watching the sea.
âSo⊠how far along?â he asked.
âAlmost two months.â
â...Was that before or after I gave you that weird seaweed stew in Alabasta?â
You snorted. âDefinitely after.â
He grimaced. âI hope the baby doesnât remember that-yoiâ
You laughed, and for the first time in weeks, it felt real. âThanks for coming, Marco.â
He turned his head slightly. âIâll be back before the babyâs born. Promise.â
âYou better be,â you replied. âOr Iâm naming it Garp.â
Marco's face turned pale. âYou wouldnât.â
You raised an eyebrow. âTry me.â
He stared, then smirked. â...Fine. But Iâm putting âPhoenixâ on the birth certificate.â
âOh, absolutely not.â
Confined Hearts
A routine supply run turns chaotic when you and Law get trapped below deck â but maybe being stuck alone isn't such a bad thing after all.

The steady hum of the Polar Tang was strangely comforting. Somewhere above, the Heart Pirates went about their usual routines: cleaning, charting, fixing whatever needed fixing after their last chaotic encounter with a Sea King. You lounged lazily against a stack of crates in the storage bay, a small smirk tugging at your lips as you watched Trafalgar Law pick through supplies, his brow furrowed in mild annoyance.
He looked⊠good. Way too good for your heart to handle.
Denim jeans that hung low on his hips, simple white t-shirt slightly damp from the humidity, his tattoos curling like secret messages down his arms and up his throat. You tried not to stare, but it was hard when you knew just how warm and soft that skin was under your fingers.
Not that anyone else could know. Not that the crew â bless their oblivious souls â had the faintest idea.
Being in a secret relationship with your stoic, sharp-tongued Captain was its own kind of dangerous thrill. One wrong move, one wrong look, and Shachi or Penguin would never let you live it down.
Law glanced over his shoulder at you, one eyebrow lifting ever so slightly.
"You planning to help, or just stand there like a useless lump?"
You snorted. "Bold talk from a guy who's been glaring at the same box for five minutes."
"Planning," he drawled, straightening up and cracking his neck. "Unlike you, who specializes in doing absolutely nothing."
You tossed a rag at his head. He dodged it with irritating ease, a faint smirk flashing across his mouth before it disappeared into his usual deadpan stare.
You fought a grin. God, you loved being able to push his buttons.
"Fine, Captain," you said dramatically, hopping off the crate. "Tell me what you want, and I'll do everything in my power to serve you."
There was the tiniest flicker in his expression â a shift only you would notice. The kind that made your stomach flutter and your mind race with all the things you could do if you weren't surrounded by supplies and crates and the whole damn crew upstairs.
Law turned back to the stack, voice low enough that you almost missed it. "Later," he murmured. "If you're good."
A shiver ran down your spine. You swallowed hard and tried to act normal.
You really, really hoped no one was coming down here anytime soon.
.
.
The moment it happened, it was pure chaos.
One second you were moving a particularly heavy crate like Law asked â the next, the ship rocked violently. Somewhere far above, there was a muffled shout and the shriek of metal. The crate slipped from your grip, slamming into the wall with a loud THUD.
Before you could react, the heavy storage door â that was supposed to stay propped open â swung shut with a bone-shaking bang.
You froze.
Law cursed under his breath, lunging for the handle. You rushed to help him, heart hammering in your chest.
He yanked on it. You yanked on it. Nothing.
"Locked," he growled, rattling it harder. "Dammit."
"No way." You shoved at the door uselessly. "We're stuck?!"
Law's face was grim. He jiggled the handle again, then pulled a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket. Static crackled. No signal.
"Great," you muttered. "Metal walls. Thick metal walls. We're basically in a fridge."
"It's temporary," Law said, though even he sounded annoyed. "Someone will notice we're missing."
"Yeah, after they realize weâre not up there helping fix whatever the hell broke!"
You leaned against the door, groaning. Being stuck alone with your secret boyfriend was not the worst thing in the world. But being stuck with Law, who was a menace when he got bored? Dangerous.
You felt his eyes on you and cracked one open.
"What?"
He was studying you in that way he did sometimes â silent, sharp, as if he was dissecting your entire existence.
"You panicking already?"
You huffed. "No. Just⊠strategizing."
"Mm."
You shifted awkwardly. "And you? Cool as a cucumber, huh?"
He shrugged. "Trapped with you? Could be worse."
You blinked, thrown off by the softness in his voice.
You opened your mouth to reply â but then he moved, striding toward you with that slow, deliberate gait that meant trouble. The kind that usually ended with you pressed against a wall, dizzy and breathless and wondering how a man so outwardly composed could make you feel like you were the only thing that mattered in the world.
Law stopped inches away, tilting his head slightly.
"No crew," he said lowly. "No interruptions."
Your pulse spiked. "Y-Yeah?"
He smirked â slow, devilish, rare.
"An advantage."
.
. Before you could react, Law's hand was sliding up your arm, slow and deliberate, sending sparks shooting across your skin. His other hand braced next to your head, caging you in.
"Cold?" he murmured.
"A little," you managed, your voice breathy.
He leaned in closer, nose brushing your temple, lips ghosting over the shell of your ear.
"Good," he whispered.
You shivered, and not just from the temperature.
His fingers traced lazy patterns on your arm, and you closed your eyes, savoring the rare moment. Law wasn't usually this openly affectionate â not where anyone could see. But here, with only the dim overhead lights and the smell of metal and salt around you, he was different. Softer. Greedier.
"You smell like engine grease," you teased, voice shaking.
He chuckled â a low, rare sound â and nipped lightly at your earlobe.
"Not complaining when you're the one who started this."
You laughed â and Law grinned, wide and boyish, before capturing your mouth in a kiss that stole every coherent thought from your head.
God, he kissed like he owned you. Deep, slow, unhurried. Like you had all the time in the world.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer, feeling the solid weight of him against you. His hands skimmed down your sides, lingering at your waist, before sliding under the hem of your shirt to rest against bare skin. You gasped softly against his mouth.
"LawâŠ" you murmured.
He pulled back just enough to look at you â really look at you. His thumb brushed your cheekbone, tender.
"You okay?" he asked, voice rough.
You nodded. "More than okay."
He kissed you again, softer this time. Almost reverent.
Minutes slipped by â slow, honey-thick minutes where all you could feel was the heat of his mouth, the calluses of his fingers, the way his heart thudded against yours.
Eventually, you broke apart, resting your forehead against his.
"I can't believe we're stuck," you whispered, laughing a little.
He smirked. "Best damn accident this ship's ever had."
You laughed again, biting your lip.
Law tilted his head, studying you. "You think the crew suspects?"
You thought about it. "Honestly? They're either oblivious or think we're mortal enemies."
Law hummed thoughtfully. "Maybe we should give them a real show after this."
You gawked at him. "You? Public affection?"
He shrugged. "Shock value."
You grinned wide. "You're evil."
"And you love it."
"Yeah," you said, softer now. "I do."
Something shifted between you â something heavier, more real. Law's expression softened. He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, gentle in a way he never was with anyone else.
"I love you too," he said simply.
Your breath caught.
Law rarely said it. He didnât have to â you saw it in every careful look, every small touch, every stolen moment. But hearing it out loud still sent warmth flooding through you.
You cupped his face, smiling.
"Guess being trapped isn't so bad," you said.
He kissed your palm.
"No," he agreed. "Not bad at all."
.
. Hours later, when Shachi and Penguin finally managed to force the door open â sweaty, out of breath, and triumphant â they found you and Law sitting side-by-side on the floor, looking suspiciously flushed and suspiciously content.
"Uh, Captain..." Shachi said, blinking. "Everything good?"
Law stood up smoothly, brushing imaginary dust off his pants. "Fine," he said blandly. "Just trapped."
You fought the urge to giggle.
Penguin narrowed his eyes. "You two sure you didnât kill each other?"
Law smirked â a private, dangerous thing â and tossed an arm around your shoulders with casual ease.
"Not yet," he said.
You caught the startled looks the two crewmates exchanged â and laughed all the way back to your shared cabin, tucked securely against Lawâs side.
Maybe being trapped wasnât such a bad thing after all.
