Chapter 9
Ace was on duty, sitting up in the crows nest of the Whitebeard pirates ship the Moby Dick when the news coo came. As the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard commanders he was incharge of sorting the wanted posters and all that jazz whenever he was on duty. Not that he minded doing that. Flipping open the paper to see he looked through the posters. When he saw it. Gripping the paper he tried not to light on fire.
“IT’S BEEN CONFIRMED, THE CAPTAIN OF THE STRAWHAT PIRATES AND EMPEROR OF THE SEA MONKEY D. LUFFY AND THE PIRATE HUNTER AND KING OF HELL HIMSELF RORONOA ZORO ARE DATING!!!!” The headline blazed across the newspaper, the ink seemingly smoldering.
Below it a picture of the two pirate kissing somewhere in Wano, presumably on a date, following their victory over the tyrannical duo of Kaidou and Big Mom.
The Photo was of Zoro sitting slouched in a seat with his Head tilted back, he was dressed in a pair of wide leg dress pants, Black formal shoes with a golden buckle, a Black turtleneck with blazer over top of the turtleneck. Luffy stood behind him, bent somewhat forward, she was dressed in in a dress that was made out of a fine silk and mesh spaghetti strap mini dress, the dress was a skin tight fine silk dress showing off her curbs and clinging to her body. The dress had Tiger print mesh over it, the Tiger print cutting diagonal to show off half of the black part of the dress underneath while the other half it the Tiger print, with The Tiger print going further down in the black part of the dress making a little flowy tail that fluttered in the wind. The dress was short, stopping right at her mid thigh. She had black and Orange kitten heels to match her dress, with bangle bracelets, rings, a necklace, and earrings. She was still wearing her iconic straw hat, but it didn’t make her outfit any less feminine. She even put on makeup. A gradient of glittery dark brown to a glittery burnt orange eyeshadow on her lids, eyeliner, mascara, light blush, and a nude lipstick with lipgloss over top of it.
In the Photo both Luffy’s and Zoro’s eyes were closed as their lips were met in a tender kiss, as Luffy’s hands cupped Zoro’s face, slightly tilting his head more back.
The rest of the Strawhat pirates were in the background of the photo, cheering and clapping, looking like proud wingmen at the successful execution of an epic romantic gesture. Nami's face was a mix of shock and delight, her hand covering her mouth, while Sanji looked like he was about to faint with a hand dramatically over his heart. Usopp and Chopper were jumping up and down in excitement. Robin, ever the stoic historian, had a slight smirk on her lips, as Jinbe just chuckle, and Franky and Brook were giving each other a high five, celebrating the power couple of the seas.
Ace's eyes grew as wide as dinner plates as he took in the scandalous image before him. The flurry of emotions from the newspaper's revelation was a storm he hadn't seen coming. He knew Luffy was a free spirit, but the sight of her in such a... such a... well, such a *dress* was something else entirely. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of protectiveness for his little sister, even though she could probably bench press him without breaking a sweat.
(anything that has to deal with Fem! Luffy wearing a dress, it’s literally just a dress I found on Pinterest from the 2000s. The dress Luffy is wearing isn’t even inappropriate. It’s literally just a sundress.)
