Chapter Text
Koala would be lying if she said she didn’t notice how many people were staring at her as she walked to school with Sabo that Tuesday morning. She would also be lying if she said it didn’t bother her—it bothered her tremendously—but she had no idea why. It didn’t make sense why they were all staring at her when Sabo was right there beside her.
Oh no! They all hate me because I’m walking with Sabo! They’re all jealous—this is terrible!
Sabo immediately noticed when Koala stilled beside him and stopped walking as well, “Koala? You okay?”
She covered her face with her hands and frantically shook her head as she spoke in a furious whisper, “No, I’m not okay! People are staring—and they hate me!”
“What?” He looked around and did notice a few people looking their way, “Come on.” Sabo grabbed her wrist and began to pull her to an area that was less-crowded.
“Hey!” Koala shouted in defiance, “At least hold my hand like a normal person!”
Sabo’s ears perked up and he turned to Koala with a huge grin, “You want me to hold your hand?”
Koala opened her mouth to object, but then Sabo slid his fingers from her wrist to her hand and between her own fingers. She closed her mouth and turned away from him to hide her blush, “I just meant—because you were—ugh!”
He held back his laughter and instead plastered a stupid dopey grin on his face, “Yeah, okay.”
“Hmphf,” she pursed her lips and stuck her nose up but tightened her fingers around Sabo’s hand.
If people want to be jealous, I’ll give them a reason to be.
Marco couldn’t help but stare at his adorable boyfriend for a moment before shaking his shoulder, “Ace, wake up.”
Ace had just fallen asleep in the middle of eating his breakfast for the second time that morning, which honestly was a common occurance due to his narcolepsy; but since Ace had spent the night at Marco’s, he hadn’t been able to take his medication.
After a couple more shakes, Ace blinked his eyes open with a sultry smile, “Hey, sexy.”
He smirked at the freckled man and shook his head, “Quit falling asleep, Sabo should be here soon with your medicine.”
Ace stretched his arms above his head and yawned, “Yeah, yeah.”
Right on que, Sabo sat down at the table with his tray of food and Koala at his side, “Hey guys!” He dug in his pocket and took out a pill bottle, “Here, Ace.”
“KOALA!” They all jumped from the loud scream that came from none other than Luffy. A moment later, she was at the table, enthusiastically asking, “Are you eating breakfast with us?”
The orange-haired girl nodded her head, “Yes, I am.”
Luffy’s eyes were shining with delight, “Yahoo! This is even better than our double date last night!”
Law sat down at the table beside his excitable girlfriend and drank from his black coffee, not feeling functional this early in the morning without it.
“Oh yeah,” Sabo remembered to ask, “How was the double date?”
“We went to Dressrosa and Traffy ordered me so much yummy food!”
Ace had finished taking his medication and added, “Yeah, the food was amazing!”
“Yeah, but aren’t you two forgetting something?” Marco asked.
“Huh?” Luffy tilted her head to the side in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Marco stared at her with a blank expression, “Boa Hancock proposed to you.”
“WHAT?!” Sabo shouted in outrage, “HOW DOES LUFFY KNOW BOA HANCOCK?!”
It was at that moment that Nami and Robin appeared with Sanji and Zoro. Nami’w eyes widened and screeched, “LUFFY KNOWS BOA HANCOCK?!” She grabbed onto her friend’s shoulders and shook her whole body, “HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME YOU KNOW BOA HANCOCK?!”
“Who’s that?”
Nami’s face fell, “Boa Hancock?! Luffy are you kidding me? How do you not know who we are talking about?”
Law sighed in resignation, “She’s talking about Hammock.”
“Ohhh! Hammock! Shishishishi, he’s weird.”
Everyone at the table looked at Luffy as if she just told them something insane, everyone except for Law. He knew Luffy had no idea or interest in knowing about who Boa Hancock was and didn’t mind one bit.
“Well, can you please explain to me why he proposed to you?” Sabo asked in annoyance.
“I don’t know,” she shrugged, “I’m not going to marry him, so why does it matter?”
Nami was going to have a heart attack, “BOA HANCOCK ASKED YOU TO MARRY HIM AND YOU SAID NO?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!”
Luffy continued to eat her breakfast and spoke with her mough full of food, “I-ot-ffy.”
Law threw his arm over her shoulder and kissed her cheek, “Yeah, you got me.” He shot Nami a smug grin and ignored the glares he received from both her and Sanji.
She scoffed, “Whatever. If he would’ve asked me I’d say ‘yes’ in a heartbeat.”
“What?” Sanji asked, looking hurt, “You would?”
“Hypothetically, yes,” Nami explained herself, “Boa Hancock doesn’t just ask people to marry him left and right. Only an idiot would pass up that opportunity—do you have any idea how much money he makes?”
Zoro scoffed, “Of course, that’s all you care about is the money.”
“Easy for you to say,” Nami quipped back, “I wasn’t adopted by a Warlord like you were, Zoro.”
He scowled at the witch, “Don’t bring Mihawk into this—that’s not what this is about.”
“Zoro’s right, Nami,” Robin calmly interveined, “Myself and Zoro did not choose to be raised by my father. We are talking about Boa Hancock: the notorious bachelor who hates all women.”
“Exactly!” Nami shouted to get her point across, “But he asked Luffy to marry him!”
“Why do you sound so shocked?” Law teased Nami and admitted, “I wouldn’t mind being married to her.”
“Aww, that’s sweet,” Koala cooed.
Sabo glanced over to Ace and noticed he was completely focused on Marco. It was honestly more than a little surprising that his brother wasn’t glaring daggers at Law after such a comment.
With their fingers intertwinded beneath the table, Ace and Marco were in their own world, whispering sweet nothings to one another, completely disregaurding everyone else since they were already over the shock.
Nami rolled her eyes, “Whatever, I still don’t understand it.”
Luffy playfully stuck her tongue out at Nami, “You’re just jealous.”
“Hmphf!” Nami linked her arm with Sanji’s and protested, “As if! I’ve already got myself a perfect gentleman.”
Sanji successfully resisted the urge to jump for joy, but he couldn’t stop himself from blushing at Nami’s touch and swooning, “Of course, Nami! I’ll treat you like the goddess you are~”
Zoro rolled his eyes, because no matter how many times he’s heard about how wonderful Nami is from his roommate, he will never understand his obsession with her. When he saw Robin’s quirky little smile beside him, Zoro realized he might not understand why Sanji was so obsessed with Nami, but he could relate because he had an obsession of his own.
When Robin glanced at Zoro, she caught him staring at her and blushed. He might not be a perfect gentleman like Sanji, but he was certainly the perfect guy for her. She could feel it in her heart when she saw the way he looked at her, the gentleness in his eyes.
Koala genty tapped on Sabo’s shoulder to get his attention and pointed across the table at Law and Luffy.
Law had one hand in front of his mouth as he spoke, “Get that toast away from me, Luffy-ya. You know I hate bread.”
“Shishishi!” Luffy gleefully laughed as she sat on her boyfriend’s lap and tried to feed him a slice of toast, “But Traffy, it’s soo good! I even put jelly on it for you!”
That was the moment Law caved, with a sigh, “Fine. I’ll have one bite.”
The smile that spread across Luffy’s face was so blinding, she could act as a spotlight. She carefully brought the toast to Law’s mouth and watched in anticipation as he took a bite and chewed, “Well? What do you think?”
The toast was dry and crunchy in Law’s mouth, he hated it, but the jelly was sweet and tasted like strawberries. As he chewed, the jelly mixed with the toast and made it not as horrible, “It was tolerable.”
Luffy couldn’t stop smiling, she knew Law wouldn’t like it, but it meant so much to her that he would even try—because she asked him to.
Koala and Sabo made eye contact with each other, they both began to blush and looked away. It was too embarrassing to imagine feeding food to one another, neither of them was prepared to for that.
Law was washing down the taste of toast and strawberry jelly with coffee when he spotted fire red hair and a pissed off Kidd stomping towards their table. It didn’t seem like Luffy noticed yet, but as soon as she did, Law could tell because her body immediately froze in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest to whisper in her ear, “I’m sorry for this ahead of time.”
“Trafalgar!”
Everyone else at the table turned around at the shout of Law’s name to see Kidd standing there with his arms and legs covered with his clothes and a bandage across his cheek to cover his new tattoos. Law kept his eyes on Luffy’s, more concerned with her than anything else; he waited until she calmed down enough to lay her head against his shoulder. “What do you want,” he asked coldly.
Kidd narrowed his gaze, “This isn’t over.” He turned around and walked away, he didn’t know what he would do, but he wasn’t going to let this go. Trafalgar took away his manhood, Kidd needed to take something of his.
“What the hell was that about?” Sanji asked, still oblivious to what Kidd had done to Luffy and other women.
Nami shot him a warning look, but Zoro also ended up asking, “What’s he talking about?
Before anyone could say a word, Luffy answered, “Kidd raped me.”
Both Zoro and Sanji tensed, this was news to them and neither knew what to say or how to handle the new information.
Koala ended up being able to sympathize, “Kohza had raped me when I was with him.”
Luffy met Koala’s gaze and frowned, “I’m sorry.”
She shook her head and smiled, “Don’t apologize, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I’m sorry you had to go through that,” Luffy clarified.
Koala felt Sabo’s fingers tangle between her own and snapped at him, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”
Realizing it must be a touchy subject, Sabo removed his hand from hers and stayed quiet.
“We should hang out again sometime, Koala!” Luffy gave her one of her trademark smiles that nearly blinded everyone they were directed at.
She couldn’t resist smiling back, “I’d like that.”
