Summary
It’s not a nice smile. Calling it a smile at all is probably too charitable. It’s a grimace, a baring of teeth that reflect the sunset streaming through the window in a way that’s uncomfortably reminiscent of blood.
“I think I’m beginning to see what he meant, you know,” Sabo breathes, voice barely above a whisper and not any softer for the low volume. “He wasn’t kidding when he said you went for the throat.”
A few days after the events of Punk Hazard, Smoker gets a visitor.Series

Summary
Once upon a time, Trafalgar Law would have said he understood the concept of gods.
What gods weren’t supposed to be were women in blue and white homespun skirts, or flyaway curling hair. They weren’t supposed to have sad eyes, or a dimple at one corner of their mouth when they smiled a crooked smile. There shouldn’t be a crease of worry between their eyebrows, and they shouldn’t have a habit of humming under their breath when they were thinking.
Most of all, gods weren’t supposed to cry.
Gods weren’t supposed to mourn.

Summary
“I've decided!” the pirate exclaimed loudly, and Coby almost flinched, the volume hurting his ears. Almost afraid of the answer, he still asked his new friend with what he deemed was appropriate wariness.
“Decided what, exactly?”
Luffy shoved a piece of meat in his mouth and closed his eyes, as if all his questions and troubles had suddenly disappeared.
“I'm in love with you.” he announced, completely serious and sincere. Next to him, Zoro choked on air.
Coby blinked. “Oh.”
And then his brain registered what was said, and he let out a shriek.

Losing Time (You Can't Go Home Again) by HyperbolicReverie

Summary
He’s a little thing, maybe four or five years old if she had to guess, and that would be concerning enough considering he’s alone in the woods, a quarter of the way up a mountain and at least a mile away from civilization all by his lonesome. But Nami’s always been the observant type of person; had to be, to get by for most of her life, and to be a good navigator, and this kid? This kid is setting off all the warning bells in her mind. Not the kid himself, mind you; but at all the little details that are telling her that he really should not be here.
When Law goes missing during a stop on a quiet, out-of-the-way island, the Hearts and the visiting Straw Hats immediately drop everything to find him. But instead of the captain, they find a small boy with a familiar face who just wants to go home.
As investigations into the strange nature of the island and what has happened bear fruit, both crews are left with the uncomfortable realization that they don't know how to predict how or if Law will be able to return.
Or worse: if he'll even want to come back at all.

The boy-king swept into the holding cells of the Marine battleship like a natural disaster, gave Roger a piece of the sun, and swept away after making him laugh more times that he'd ever done in the last year. All Roger can think is that Monkey D. Luffy certainly fits that eight hundred year old nickname of his.

Summary
Your son's fourth word is 'Sanji'. He knows sea shanties no one's ever taught him. His heart beats a rhythm you don't recognise. He loves people who don't even exist yet. He talks about being the Pirate King as if it has already happened. For all you know, it probably already has.
//
Fourteen years before the first Pirate King is executed, the second Pirate King is born again. In which Luffy is a very unsubtle time-traveler and it takes Dragon longer than it should to realise his son isn't quite normal.

Summary
Shanks, between Reigns.
“So, what's with that hat?” asked Benn.
They were standing at the prow of Shanks's new ship, Shanks staring at the horizon and leaning into the sting of wind on his face, Benn doing whatever he did when his face got all thoughtful and he started fidgeting with his gun.
“Oh, this?” said Shanks. He took it off his head and looked at the way the straw was fraying at the edges. “My old captain gave it to me. It's a memento, you might say.”- Language:

Summary
The sun comes to town on an unremarkable Wednesday, when clouds pile across the sky like a solid snow bank and the sea churns as commonly as it does on say, a Tuesday or perhaps even a Thursday.
You do not notice, too preoccupied with the price of balloons.
You REALLY should have noticed.
Or: An innocent bystander gets swept up with the Straw Hat Pirates, in an effort to see a dream realized.
For Tsu, for the 2023/24 Sake Exchange - I hope you enjoy!!

Summary
Doom dut dah dah! Doom dut dah dah! Doom dut dah dah!
Steven must be hallucinating. There’s no reason he would be hearing drums right now. But Charles pauses, also seeming confused, and then Straw Hat starts glowing, white smoke billowing around him and hair bleeding white, and oh this is what the picture in his bounty poster came from-
Straw Hat laughs, bright bright bright, bright like the sun, and says, “Now I can have fun without breaking anything!” He then proceeds to grab Charles, swinging him around his head one, two, three times before throwing him directly at the wall, where- he bounces? He bounces back? Steven actually feels his eyes widen in shock- okay, what the hell, they just popped out of his face. He saw his eyes floating in front of him for a second like this is a cartoon- what the fuck is happening?!
Scratch earlier, this has to be what a stroke feels like.

Summary
“The execution isn’t about Whitebeard,” Koby blurts out before he can talk himself out of it.
He resists the urge to squeeze his eyes shut, but all he gets for his efforts is a neatly raised eyebrow. Not that the skepticism in Helmeppo’s expression is entirely unwarranted – all anyone around them has talked about in the past week has been A War With Whitebeard – but it still makes him squirm. It’s still technically a secret, and he still hasn’t technically told, so he can bite his tongue now and try to fall asleep. But they’re going to fight a war in the morning, and no matter how it ends, Koby doubts that by the time the dust settles this will still matter.
Koby wants it to matter.
“Portgas D. Ace,” Koby forces himself to say, his heart in his throat and someone else’s secret bitter on his tongue, “is Gold Roger’s son.”

“As it happens,” Fujitora said, finding the chair in front of the desk with his cane and dropping himself down into it, “I’m here to speak to you, if you have a moment.”

Summary
Zoro’s grandmother told him once, at the last fall festival before she died: See the man in the mask at the head of the parade? He might look scary, but he’s just there to scare off the evil spirits. Friendly oni are good luck, because they’re strong enough to fight all the monsters in the world.
