the man have been aware of life secrets since childhood

Reasons why crocodile would find dragon gaining weight to be hot

-Dragon has more energy now, he is still inclined to take a nap in late afternoon but he no longer has that weariness anymore

- He is ideal for winter/winter climates, very warm, great for cuddling perfect for irate reptiles

- You can squish his cheeks (both sets)

- He has an ass now, Crocodile can’t believe he was deprived of such a perfect ass for so many years

- his hair is a thicker and healthier, very soft

- his ass

- Dragon is Crocodiles personal weighted blanket

- He has a muffin top and belly that Crocodile can paw at (it’s very effective for curbing his stress)

- Crocodile can use the new fat around Dragons hips as handholds to *ahem* rail his husband harder than a freight train

- his ass

- Dragon can fuck Crocodile against the wall now

- Dragon usually cooks dinner

Things Crocodile hates about Dragon gaining weight

- Dragon is heavier than him but carries it differently so he looks skinnier (think strong man vs rugby player) crocodile has more of a barrel chest

Dragon's a little over where he was way back in his mid thirties. Before the assassination attempt, to further clarify.

Crocodile had not been around for the attack, nor the steep decline in Dragon's health that came after. Iva tells him it was bad. Kuma probably would have, too, had he been able to.

After the violent course correction that had been that Straw Hat hellion (his Straw Hat hellion, apparently), and a few months in Level Six, Crocodile finally deigned to pay the rebel a visit.

No, he hadn't been putting it off, don't ask stupid questions. No, he was not scared, shut your mouth, Daz!

Hearing about it and seeing it were very different things.

It was... Whatever Iva had told him? It was worse than that.

He looked sickly. Like a stiff breeze could topple him. Like a mild cold could warrant a medical emergency. He was thin... Gods, was he thin...

Worse still, he wasn't... it's like he wasn't even him anymore. The molten hot determination that had first swayed him over only flickered to life here and there, otherwise it was nonexistent. He kept himself wrapped up tight in that ridiculous cloak, like he was hiding in it. The Dragon he knew never hid around friends and colleagues, let alone him...

Because that's the first thing the idiot did, of course.

Ran away in a whirlwind that didn't have half the strength as he remembered it did.

Well, tough luck. Crocodile knew him like the back of his one hand, and knew his haki signature even more intimately than that. He couldn't hide from him, so why even try? Did the idiot not know how much that stung?

Up close and personal, it was somehow even worse.

Age and stress did things to a man, of course, but this was another monster entirely. He looked... dead. His eyes were distant, almost glassy, like he wasn't even there.

"Are you going to say anything, or am I going to have to do the talking?"

See, Crocodile had a bit of an aggression problem. It bled into so much of his personality that really, it was was difficult for some to tell what exactly he was feeling. He never addressed it, nor was he ever like to, because it had its uses.

His concern had teeth, and he needed to sink them in quick before Dragon got away again.

"I can't talk much."

That was... different. No, not the not being able to talk much thing. Words just didn't want to happen sometimes. His voice was different. Low, painfully rough, all broken up and monotonous. Was he sick?

He caught himself reaching out to check for a fever when Dragon shied away. The motion bared his throat just a little more. Crocodile could see the thin edge of a scar disappearing like the tail of a silvery pink snake just beneath orange fabric.

"What the hell happened to you, Ryu?"

A lot. A lot had happened to him.

A lot to find the strength to come to terms with. A lot to find the will to heal from.

Recovering took a damn long time, and you'd think winning this gods forsaken war would have made it easier, but no. It had almost killed the man. Why did the world even need him anymore if the war was won, that sort of existential despair and whatnot...

But Crocodile was a stubborn bastard, and him being a stubborn bastard made Dragon a stubborn bastard, and it made reigniting that zest for life a little bit easier. Slow, yes, but dry cedar, gasoline, and a spark was just destruction for the sake of a big, bright flame. Dragon didn't need that. It's part of what had lead him to this mess to begin with.

Low and slow. A bed of embers chewing on a steady diet of hardwood, given a little stoke here and there. That's what Dragon needed, innuendo aside.

And now here he was, strolling along the beach. standing tall (the audacity) and strong and- dare Crocodile say it- plush. He looks warm and radiant as the sunset at their backs, the fiery golds catching in his dark eyes like amber. He's happier and healthier than he's ever known him, and Crocodile is probably going to pin him to the wall of their home the second the door closes behind them.

Unless Dragon is going to be doing the pinning. This new lease on life has very much made him more assertive with these things.

hc that Sanji will yell and kick at the crew all day but when you know he's really snapped is if he starts using the customer service voice. Luffy appears in the kitchen for the 76th consecutive time this meal break and gets a strained "can I help you?" and nopes outta there immediately. Sanji asks Nami how she's liking her tea but in a detached restaurant tone and she pushes her sunglasses down and asks when he last slept. Zoro is annoying him for fun as usual when Sanji slips and calls him "Sir--" in a very stern voice and they both just go silent and stare at each other for several seconds. Zoro does the dishes that night without being asked.

jump.

Shanks raises ASL brother Masterlist

This involves a lot of rearranging of cannon events. But basically Shanks realizes that Luffy is living alone and promises him the next time he comes to Dawn island he’ll take Luffy with him. Crap finds out and take Luffy to Dadan, where he meets Ace and Sabo. Shanks returns just in time to stop the Bluejam pirates from separating the ASL brothers. He spends some time getting to know the other two boys and decides to take them with him.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3 make it Mishanks

Part 4: Meeting Mihawk, Sabo’s future

Part 5: Ace’s reveal

Part 6: Ace and Shanks finally talk about Roger

Part 7: Heavy on the Mishanks

Part 8: a coming storm.

Part 9: Higuma finds Luffy, Shanks confronts Higuma

Ask: What about Dadan and the bandits

Ask: When will the boys return to Foosha

Ask: Grandpa Rayleigh?

Poll: Does Shanks lose his arm?

Some AU where Shanks raises Luffy and Mihawk gets involved if only to see that Luffy makes it into adulthood in relatively good health, because he's apathetic but doesn't approve of infanticide, and then years later when Luffy goes off by himself it circles back around to the duel at the Baratie, (Mihawk got sent over to round Luffy up for a family dinner) except instead of agreeing to Zoro's challenge, Mihawk pulls out the bluetooth and asks Shanks exactly when Luffy was allowed to start dating? And that no, it's Shanks that Luffy takes after. Yeah. Some brooding boy who's a swordsman. Yeah. He's got green hair and three swords. And I'd approve if this wasn't making me feel weird. Oh, fuck yourself, Red.

Never bet against Crocodile, Mihawk.

I've had this comic lying around for ages, but it's so long and I was lazy (as you can see. I only cleaned up some panels, while I redrew others... I might clean this up more later >w<)

Anyway. When I watched Film Red I was asked whether Crocodile would adopt Uta, sparing her from her dire fate. So here we are. I am committing the grave crime of stealing the Shanks and Buggy kid and giving her to Crocodile *lol* But she's got Buggy now, even though it might take him a moment to warm up to her.

(Mihawk probably assumes that Crocodile and Shanks hooked up. That'll keep him up at night for a while.)
