Summary
Zoro is drenched in sweat already, but at least with his haki holding Luffy’s at bay he isn’t suffocating. And Luffy, damn him, looks completely unruffled.
“Is it fun yet?” He asks.
No, none of this is fucking fun. Zoro feels sick to his stomach and he wants to sink his teeth into Luffy’s neck.

No one told Zoro that having the qualifications of a king meant having the instincts of one too.Bookmarked by a_life_spent_reading

Summary
He’s not close enough. He’s not going to make it. Even if he managed to shake off the soldiers in front of him and just threw his whole body at full-speed between Luffy and Akainu to take the blow, he wouldn’t get there fast enough. He doesn’t have enough time. He’s going to lose another brother, only this time it’s going to happen right in front of his eyes, from seven—five—three feet away.
He’s ten years old again and learning what grief is. He’s ten years old and all that’s left of Sabo is the letter in his hand and a shared dream and the promise that Ace will look after their silly baby brother while he’s gone.
“DON’T TOUCH HIM!” Ace screams. It’s pure desperation. It’s the last human thing he’ll ever say if Luffy dies here.

Summary
There was a child on the docks.
Shanks knew, of course, that a far removed village like this couldn’t be faulted for not recognizing his jolly roger, but it was still a jolly roger. There wasn’t even anyone with the boy, and that made all of Shanks’ instincts flare up.
He called a halfhearted order to his first mate, watching the child carefully as he looked at the Red Force with stars in his eyes and pearls in his hair.

My take on Nika!Luffy through the perspectives of the lives he's changed. Pre-canon rewrite. Pearl Imagery inspired by The WritingDJ, more details in beginning notes.

Summary
Ace and Sabo were competitive in who got their little brother the best present on his birthday, no matter where they are... no way in hell was Ace allowing this opportunity of Shanks visit to the Moby to go to waste... doesn't help that he can troll Shanks while he's at it.
