I live for luffy fanfics
may I please request a Luffy x fem reader (they aren’t together yet) but Luffy has a big crush on the reader without realizing and he’s always super touchy with her without thinking anything of it, like always holding her or picking her up when they’re on adventures and protecting her too all without realizing until the crew makes a comment about it to him, I think it would be super adorable. thank you!
This is going to be more like a poem? I don't know much about poems lmao but I wanted to try this "poetic" style/format of writing. I hope you enjoy.
his arm slung over your shoulders, his warmth pressed to your side. a habit. a thing he does.
he grabs your hand before you even think to reach for his. it’s natural. thoughtless. not a question, just a certainty.
“c’mon,” he grins, tugging you along, lifting you—feet off the ground, body against his, carried as easily as air.
he holds you close when the seas rock too hard. grins wide when you laugh, grins wider when you don’t let go.
his hands, everywhere. your wrist, your waist, the small of your back. not lingering, not hesitant— just there, just his.
a shadow moves too fast in the chaos luffy is faster. his arm snaps out, shielding you before the strike lands.
"stay back," he says. but you don’t. you never do.
your weapon captures the blade meant for him. you call his name when an enemy moves too close. his name, always the first thing on your lips.
your voice, sharp. “get back.” his, just as firm. “you first.”
you watch his back, and he watches yours
but sometimes he's not quick enough. he feels so guilty. he was too late a thick voice cuts through the wreckage
"i follow the chaos and what do you know? it leads straight to you."
zoro, unimpressed. a hand on his sword. "what the hell, luffy? you’re gonna get us killed."
luffy turns shoulders rising, falling. fists still clenched. men groaning as the dust settles. "i wasn't looking for a fight." he mutters
he moves, slightly. just enough.
you, standing just behind him. blood runs down your arm, hair disheveled, a hand over your abdomen and the wince you try to hide. it's painful.
zoro stills, luffy speaks "do you know what they did?" his voice is lower now his hands twitch at his sides, aching to swing again.
"they put their hands on her."
silence. heavy. understanding.
it’s just luffy. luffy, who grins when you hold onto him. who sleeps sprawled across you like you’re part of the ship. who gets louder when you laugh, who goes quiet when you don’t let go.
flames crackle between all of you, embers drift, stars in their own right the crew is full, alive. your face is soft in the flickering light lips curved, gaze steady.
he notices. of course he does. robin notices. of course she does.
"you always seem to find your way back to her."
she tells him, low and knowing luffy tilts his head, blinking thinking.
the warmth in his chest—he’s always felt it. the need to be close, to hold, to protect— it’s instinct, like breathing.
he looks at you. you smile. his chest tightens
oh.
oh.
so that’s what this is.

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.
