Zoro meets Sora in a "She took the kids" AU.
teehee
One Piece Croco-centric AU where at some point during the Alabasta saga Crocodile realizes that Luffy's his son, but doesn't know what to do about it.
He gets so stressed over it that he ends up confessing it to Nico Robin in a moment of weakness, desperate for someone to tell him what the hell he's supposed to do in this situation.
(Robin doesn't have any answers for him — but she doesn't forget.)
It makes him go a bit easy on Luffy, at least to the point that he doesn't make use of his Haki, not expecting that he'd actually get defeated — and yet...
When he wakes up he's on a ship. Nico Robin is leaning over him. "Hello, Boss," she says. "You've been out a while — but I'm going to need you to sleep for a little longer."
The next time he wakes up there's more noise — shouting and the pounding of sandaled feet on wood. He hears a "gomu gomu no—"
And, shit.
She didn't...
She better not have...
Crocodile is going to kill her.
"How unfortunate that you can't swim, Boss. It seems you're stuck here for the indefinite future. Oops."
Nico Robin smiles. "On the bright side, you can finally have that talk with your son that you've been putting off."
He should've known better than to confide in "Devil Child" Nico Robin — he'd rather she have killed him in his sleep.
...and she looks far too proud of herself.
A short comic about Robin and Franky, through the eyes of a boy who didn’t realise how much he needed a good relationship model.
⊹ one piece (flag symbol) headers ɞ..
I like to think Robin understands a handful of french words and this is a little game they play. :] BONUS:
note: i dont know any french so there’s probably some mistakes in here. Lol
one piece au where everything is exactly the same except sanji had already previously met ace at the baratie during one of ace’s solo voyages
-
“Nice seeing you again.” Sanji said, lifting a cigarette up to his lips with a smile.
Ace turned towards the voice and his face lit up with joy. He points at Sanji with glee.
“Yo! Luffy, you have this guy on your crew? He’s great!”
Luffy’s head turns back and forth, darting between his cook and his brother. “Huh? Ace, do you know Sanji?”
Ace nods happily. “We met back in East Blue, at that restaurant.”
“I should have known you two were related.” Sanji shakes his head with a feigned exasperation. “Same bottomless appetite.”
-
“What the fuck is happening inside there?” Sanji muttered, blowing out a puff of smoke before walking back through the back-door into the kitchens where he returned from his brief smoke break
The kitchen was in a frenzy, every cook rushing between sizzling pans and boiling pots, and servers even opting in and out of prepping dishes for serving.
“What the hell?! Oi,” Sanji grabbed one of the new rookie chefs by the back of the collar. “What’s going on?”
“A-A customer outside! He ordered one of everything on the menu!”
“HUH?!”
The Baratie menu was five pages, double-sided, with four dishes on each, excluding the drinks and desserts.
“What kind of customer orders forty dishes?!”
“SHHH!” The rookie chef looks around frantically, as if hiding from someone beneath all the noise in the chaos. “He’s a Whitebeard Pirate Commander!”
Sanji’s eyes widened in shock, and steadily joins in preparing the dishes. He carries the first quarter dozen and sets it down on the man’s table. It wasn’t that hard to find, considering the man had a giant tattoo of the infamous Whitebeard’s jolly roger on his back. Also, he was a pirate, so he sat like one. Slack, with legs wide apart and hands behind his head with a bright orange hat settling over his face.
“Your food, sir.” Sanji starts, spreading out the four plates across as another server followed close behind, setting down another three.
The man sat up immediately and looked down with glee. “Thanks so much!”
As if to chime in, Sanji heard the man’s stomach rumble loudly. Sanji smiled. It’s a joy in his life to serve those who are hungry. “Enjoy it. It’s the greatest damn food on the sea.”
The man nodded, thanking him again and digging in. Sanji figured that the first seven plates would be enough to at least sage the appetite of the man a little, so he held up a hand when another one of the servers was on their way out with another four.
“Hold on, there’s no way he’s-”
Sanji’s cut off by a loud slam behind him, followed by loud gasps and screams. He whips his head around and pushes open the kitchen door to the dining area, to see the man face-down in the table, surrounded by shards of broken glass on the floor and in a ring around his head.
“Did he just-?!”
Sanji runs over and carries the man out of his chair, laying him out on the floor. He lays a finger on the side of the man’s neck, desperately searching for a pulse.
“Shit…”
He takes his place over the man’s torso and begins to press Sanji turns his head up towards the shocked diners, who are at a loss just as much as he is.
“IS ANYONE A DOC-”
“Snrk- Oh?”
The man sits up in a shock, dazed and confused. He blinks the sleep away from his eyes, which widen when he sees the cute waiter on his lap. Said waiter is looking down at him with his eyes wide in shock.
“Ah. Sorry, I must have fallen asleep.”
Sanji’s brain short-circuits before his face flushes red.
“YOU BASTARD!” Sanji brings a fist down and knocks him on the head before thinking. The guests gasp again, this time in shock.
“He just hit a Whitebeard commander!”
“Do you think he’s gonna come here?!”
“Ah-” Sanji’s eyes boggle even wider and he jumps off the man in a hassle (why was he still on him?!) “I-I’m so sorry, p-please, don’t hold this against the restaurant.”
To his surprise, and the shock of all the patrons around him, the man begins to laugh. He throws his head back and laughs so hard, his hat falls off his head. Loose black curls fall around his face in a cute halo. His chortles die down and he shakes his head, waving his arms up in a ‘no way’ gesture.
“Please, rest assured, I won’t do anything like that. I imagine I caused quite a shock anyways so that was pretty well-warranted.”
He rubs his head tenderly with a smirk. “You know, you’re pretty strong. Wanna join the Whitebeard pirates? We could always use more cooks. All the better if they’re strong, too.”
Sanji splutters with a heavy blush at the praise before turning and stomping away, cursing under his breath that the man was an idiot.
-
It was when Sanji came back from his third smoke break of the night when he sees that man again, this time over one of the sinks in the kitchen.
“EH-What are you doing back here?!”
The man lifts his head over the plate he’s washing, and Sanji doesn’t like the little twist his heart does at the sight of the man’s hair tied back out of his face.
“Oh! Hi again. The old guy told me I had to wash the dishes to pay for the ones I broke. He’s a pretty scary guy, I can see where you get your strength from.”
“Don’t compliment me as if that solves anything, bastard.” Sanji mutters, rolling up his sleeves as he makes his way to another sink, joining in attacking the large pile of dirty dishes looming over them.
“Sorry for scaring you like that. I really have no idea why that happens, even the doctors on our ship can’t figure it out.” The man apologizes again.
He runs his hand under the water to rinse off the suds of soap and briefly shakes it before thrusting it towards Sanji with a newfound determined grin. “I’m Ace.”
Sanji looks at his outstretched hand and sighs, pulling his out of the water and shaking it. “Sanji.”
“How long have you been a cook here?”
“As long as I can remember.” He responds. “I basically grew up here.”
“With these guys? No wonder you’re so tough.” Ace chuckles. Sanji smiles and shakes his head.
“They’re all temperamental bastards. Especially the old man.”
“It’s nice to say you grew up around good people.” Ace says wistfully, scrubbing away at a plate with stubborn flakes of whatever.
“Even if I imagine the old guy was as tough on you as he was on me.” Ace chuckles again, shaking his head and sighing before rubbing a hand on his sore cheek, where a new bruise was forming. “You think his leg would break with how hard he kicked me back there.”
Sanji’s mind lightens with memories of Zeff as a child, and his smile returns. “Yeah, he’s the worst one of ‘em all. Still can’t imagine how I would have turned out without him, though.”
“It’s the same way with my little brother.” Ace says, and a large smile grows on his face. “God, he was the most annoying little kid you could ever imagine. But there’s no doubt he’s the greatest thing that happened to me.”
“Is he a pirate as well? Is he on your ship?”
Ace shakes his head. “No, he’s just about done training to set off on his own. But he’s gonna shake the world.”
“Jeez, that crazy, huh?”
“I hope he finds his way here, he’d love the food.”
“If I ever meet him, I’ll make sure he gets fed well.”
He only lets himself succumb to his bratty nature when only men are around then he has no self control whatsoever lmaoo 😭
Babygirl...I love him
Why are there so many ZoSan fics out there where Zoro's fashion sense is the butt of the joke when we all know that of the two, Zoro is the one who has consistently served fire fits every arc and Sanji has grabbed the brightest thing he could find to wear while getting dressed in the dark?
Like... 👀 I'm just saying.
Ok hear me out.
Zoro is a sentimental bastard, no matter how much he may deny it.
One day, he asks Robin to do him a favor and ask everyone what they think each others color would be and let him know the results.
The results are:
Luffy is Red. Nami is Orange. Usopp is Green. Chopper is Pink. Frankie is Light Blue. Brook is White. Jinbei is Dark Blue. Robin is Purple. Sanji is half Gold and half Black.
At the next island, Zoro purchases 9 earring studs with as close to each color as he can find, including a special gem that is black with gold specks in it. When he returns to the ship later that night, he brings the earrings to Robin and asks her to use her devil fruit powers to hold up a couple mirrors so he can see what he's doing, and pierces his own ear cartilage. Robin keeps quiet, happy to see Zoro was as open with her as he was.
At breakfast the next day, Sanji is the first to notice Zoro has more shiny things in his ear. He remembers the crew member color survey that Robin did and quickly pieces together that each earring represents a corresponding Strawhat.
"What the fuck are those?" Some sort of obvious banter ensues. Zoro feigns ignorance and pretends to not know where they came from.
That night, Zoro is on watch, and Sanji brings him a snack before he heads to bed himself. Sanji takes the opportunity to poke fun at Zoro one more time, but Zoro doesn't take the bait. Instead, he shrugs and says "I'm carrying the crew with me. Even if we get separated like on Sabaody. Or when we all achieve our dreams and decide to go different ways. Everyone will be together, right here." And he taps his ear and smiles.
Sanji calls him a sentimental bastard, but he smiles back.
Everything is normal. Really.
Its just Sora and Dragon are adopted siblings. Garp took in a young Sora in hopes of giving her the life she deserved and making her a marine. But....
He wasn't always there to influence him with the good marine traits and benefits, the one who was always there was Dragon. Who, may I say looked a bit like Luffy when he was still young?
Dragon just took one look at this girl and said; "Okay, you're mine now then." Proceeds to raise her like a good older brother.
And when he was about to leave to set his dream of freeing the world into motion; Sora wanted to be by her older brother's side no matter what. For he was her world.
And now? She is the first Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.
....
Sora Lives AU?
(Judge wouldn't just pick any RANDOM woman y'know, with a Revolutionary like Sora and her connection to Dragon, he wanted her to have his kids.
Sora was cornered by this man, Judge threatened to out the precious documents she had (planning to give to Dragon) and herself to the World Government if she doesn't comply. Those documents meant SO MUCH to the Revolution and she can't have a simple mistake ruin everything for Dragon. so.
She gives in, but not without having the last laugh as she managed to give the information to Dragon anyway; with an extra letter saying "I'm going off to marry a King, a man who can give me a stable life. I'll come back soon."
Now doesn't that sound awfully similar to Sanji's 'supposed' goodbye letter?
