    Summary

    “Your room is clean and ready for you,” she said, going back behind the bar, allowing Rayleigh to pass by and to the upper rooms. “Oh, and by the way someone should be stopping by soon, I’ll send him up when he gets here so be ready,” she called after him much to his confusion. Someone stopping by? Sending him up? His brows furrowed, confusion clear. Who the hell would be visiting him? And Shakky just letting him in? Letting him into his room without even asking him? He turned, narrowing his eyes down at her, but she had already turned away and he knew he was getting zero answers out of that stubborn woman.

    Rayleigh sighed, deep and tired. Whatever, he didn’t care, Shakky had probably called some doctor to fuss over him, or maybe if he was lucky Red or Blue were around and visiting. Whatever it was was a future Rayleigh problem though, because current Rayleigh was just about ready to sleep for the next ten fucking years.

    Summary

    Sabo took what felt like the hundredth deep breath of the day, and finally jumped off of his already tied up boat onto the railing of one of the most infamous pirate ships around.

    Someone screeched, and he saw a man —Vista? He was pretty sure that was his name— trip over his own two feet and faceplant in, apparently, pure surprise. It was kind of valid, despite having thought about his entrance for over two hours, Sabo hadn’t really chosen the best option. But in his defense, he wasn’t sure there was a best option, or even a good one for that matter.

    “Ah… hello,” very smooth, “I’m not here to pick a fight,” a great continuation, truly. Koala would have hit him so damn hard if she had heard.

    The war went a little different. The papers did not report it all that differently though, and Sabo is determined to figure it out.

    Or, a Sabo and Ace reunion fic post-marineford.

    Summary

    The pain was increasing, he could barely hear Bepo by his side, calling for someone or another, his body shook, ears ringing, and then he was throwing up.

    Someone yelped, hands grabbed at him, he tasted blood. Fuck it hurt. It hurt like a bitch.

    Penguin gagged, heaving out desperate breaths through the pain and the nausea. He could only hope the Straw Hats doctor could figure something out, because he was pretty sure he was dying and he’d rather live a bit longer.

    Hands tried to drag him up, he wished he could help, but his limbs felt like jelly, whatever the hell it was it was strong, his head was swimming, the world disappearing, more and more distorted.

    His leg caught on something.

    The last thing he heard was the sound of his own scream.

    While waiting for his captain on Zou, Penguin gets himself into a bit of trouble. Shachi is left to deal with the fallout and he isn't sure if he can handle it.

    Summary

    “Are you scared they will think negatively of you?” Her voice was gentle, no judgement nor concern. Something in her tone made Sanji feel safe, he wanted to throw his arms around her and confess everything he had been feeling. “Do you really think they will judge you? After everything we’ve been through?”

    Her words held so much truth it stung. She was right, of course she was right. The simple, deadpan way she laid it out for him made Sanji feel stupid. Like he was silly for every worrying about that. But it didn’t stop his fear, it didn’t make any of this any less confusing or scary.

    Or, Sanji spirals as he contemplates the possibility that he is trans and Robin acts in a very sisterly/motherly way.

    Summary

    He's proud of his son. He is. Even though their chosen paths are at odds, he knows what drives him. He respects Dragon's commitment to doing what he believes is right.

    He also can't regret where life has taken them because if his son had stayed, he wouldn't have had Luffy, and Luffy is a singular blessing. He is an absolute joy—a pain in the ass as well but one well worth the hassle.

    Garp knew something had to change. Between Luffy’s new Devil Fruit powers and newfound dream of piracy, it was only a matter of time before trouble found him. Foosha Village with its well-meaning residents would not be able to keep him safe. So to the wilds of Mt. Colubo Luffy will go. There, he will brave new challenges and hopefully make a friend or two.

    But before that, Garp has a promise to fulfill to a man’s he’s never even met.
