Cat Burglar Nami:

She gets it. She knows that you just need someone to cry to. She’ll hug you and give you advice or just let you rant until you’re satisfied.

Donquixote Corazon:

He’ll listen to you and give you small signs of affection when you get overwhelmed. He’ll gently urge you to continue so you feel better.

Dracule Mihawk:

Another great listener and, when you’re done venting, his small gestures speak volumes. He’ll even say ‘I love you,’ which is rarely said verbally.

Issho (Fujitora):

He can hear the desperation in your voice and tries to keep you calm. When he hears your sobs, he turns more affectionate.

Portgas D. Ace:

Immediately pulls you into a hug and lets you cry it out. Once you’re calm, he’ll talk with you and keeps you close.

Roronoa Zoro:

But how can our love succeed A miracle is what we need And so I appeal to you

Nami shut her eyes as the breeze blew her hair behind her. She took a deep breath and it felt as if it was her first breath of life. All these years, it felt like there was a stone that constantly pressed against her chest, threatening to break her if she even took a breath. Her first breath without that stone was one of freedom. She opened her eyes to look down at Cocoyashi village. She would leave tomorrow with a bunch of misfits that she now considered dear to her. The thought made her smile but it immediately dropped at seeing all the villagers preparing for the party of defeating Arlong. She would leave the people that she’d known all her life, her home… and you. And she didn’t even know for how long. She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed, knowing that not saying goodbye was the best option… Especially to you.

“There you are.” She stiffened at the familiar voice. The voice she had grown fond of. She turned around to look at you. You climbed over the last edge and grunted slightly, standing up with a hand on your him.

“What are you doing up here? Shouldn’t you be resting?” She scolded, going over to you. You only grinned at her and waved her off with your free hand.

“It’s fine. There’s not gonna be any resting at all tonight. You’ve got some rowdy crew members.” Your smile softened at seeing the shocked look on her face. “What? You think I’m stupid? I know you’re leaving.” She huffed and crossed her arms again.

“How? I didn’t plan on telling anyone.” Your laugh sent her heart tumbling and she felt the light blush find its home on her cheeks whenever you did anything endearing.

“I’ve known since we were kids, Nami. I probably know as much about you as you do. Again, I’m not stupid.” She couldn’t help but smile at that before moving her finger to poke your hip, making you jolt.

“But you are. You put yourself in front of a fishman for me when you have the strength of a jelly.” Your pout made her laugh.

“That’s mean.” You murmured before smiling as she continued to laugh. She wiped a tear from her eye and your next words made her stop completely. “I’m gonna miss you, Nami.” She looked to the side and pursed her lips.

“I hate this. I didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want to say goodbye.” Your small laugh made her look at you again. You grasped her hands in both of yours. You raised one of her hands to place against your chest where your heart was, making her cheeks turn a shade darker than they already were.

“It’s not goodbye. I’ll be waiting for you here. So don’t get yourself killed, dummy… I love you.” Your murmured words brought tears to her eyes and she immediately moved her hands to cup your face and kiss you. She didn’t say it back. She couldn’t do that to you. The sad smile you gave her when she left was what she deserved. It was best if you forgot your love for her. She couldn’t forget the love she had for you though.

Keep me suspended in time with you Don't let this moment die I get a feeling when I'm with you None of the rules apply But I know for certain Goodbye is a crime So love if you need me Suspend me in time

Nami put her hand over her heart as it raced erratically against her ribcage. It had been years since the day she left, which was what she expected when her dream was to draw a map of the whole world, but what she didn’t expect how much she would have missed you. There was also a sense of fear that you had actually moved on and started your family. She wouldn’t have blamed you if you did. It’s unfair of her to expect that when it’s been years. But… she still hoped.

She leaned against the banister as the sea around the ship became much more familiar and a smile formed on her lips. Despite the nerves that came up when she thought of you, she was looking forward to be at home, even if it was for a couple of days. The crew members that joined after Sanji, like Chopper and Brook, wanted to see where the rest came from and she was finally the next stop. When she saw the island come up on the horizon, she gripped the railing tightly and looked at the crew, calling out to get ready to land.

When her sandals hit the wooden dock, she was almost buzzing with excitement. She wanted to wait for her crew but a smile from Robin assured her that they’d be fine. She went on ahead, catching herself from jogging. She was walking up the path to the town when her ears perked up at the sound of children laughing. When she looked at the entrance, a group of kids were laughing and running around each other while a couple of them were holding hands with… you. She felt herself stop and look in awe at how much you had changed. Of course, she had changed since being on the sea; she’s not even sure if you had seen her with long hair at all. She snapped out of it when a distressing thought came to mind; were any of those kids yours? She had hoped not but she couldn’t tear her eyes away from you.

Your smile is a thrill to see Your eyes hold me tenderly They'll shine in my memory forever

You were smiling as you looked down at the kids tugging you towards the path to the sea and when you looked up, your eyes met with hers. Your jaw dropped and you stood up straight at seeing the beautiful woman in front of you again. It was as if time had stopped as the two of you met each other’s eyes. You suddenly grinned and told the kids in your group to go home before sprinting towards Nami. She felt tears form in her eyes and she ran to meet you halfway. She embraced you tightly and felt at peace when your arms completely enclosed around her, even lifting her slightly off the ground. She hid her face against the side of your face, giggling tearfully as you started to cry and tell her you missed her. Her eyes closed as she pressed her nose further to your hair. Finally.

Keep me suspended in time with you Don't let this moment die I get a feeling when I'm with you None of the rules apply But I know for certain Goodbye is a crime So love if you need me Suspend me in time

Monkey D. Luffy: After waking up in the middle of the night, which wasn’t rare, Luffy’s stomach growled and all he wanted was to get a snack from the kitchen. He opened the galley door and groaned at the chained up fridge. If he tried to break it, Sanji would get pissed and he could only think about the meal he would be punished for tomorrow. He decided not to risk it and head back to his room. As he yawned, he heard a muffled sound come from one of the rooms and curiosity took over. Who was up this late at night? He crept over to the door and pushed it open, the ocean and the ship rocking hid the taps of his bare feet against the hardwood floor and the creak of the door. 

He didn’t expect to see (Y/N) sitting on the bench with her hands resting on her lap and tears slipping down her face. She was biting her lip but the sobs she tried to restrain were still able to escape. 

He had seen this before, a crew member breaking down. He knew the dread and despair that dwelled in the depths of people’s minds. He remembered how he would walk in on Ace crying and how the older boy would rub fiercely at his eyes and grin before going to play. Luffy may come off as naive but he was no fool to despair. 

He must have made a noise when he went over to her, or she just sensed that she wasn’t alone anymore, because she looked up with a frazzled look in her eyes. Her form visibly stiffened and she tried to rub at her eyes, all in vain since her captain had already seen it. Apologies flooded out from her mouth and confusion clouded him. He plopped down next to her and took his hat off from where it was dangling around his neck. 

“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t know anyone was up right now. I don’t know what’s gotten into me.” He didn’t understand why she kept trying to smile at him. It was obviously causing her pain.

He gently moved to place his hat on her head and leaned back against the cushions that they were seated on. The hat was special to him but he found over the years that it brought the others comfort as well, not entirely sure why but it worked. He could see that her form was still shaking but she was freely letting her tears fall now. He didn’t say anything for now and just tapped at his ankles, as his legs were crossed on the cushions. 

He wasn’t surprised when she threw her arms around him and clung onto him, her form shaking. He wrapped an arm around her while the other patted the top of her hat covered head.

“There, there. You don’t gotta pretend so much. We’re your friends. Besides, it’s not like we’re gonna make fun of you for crying. Everyone cries.” He felt her grip tighten around him and he patted her back with the arm that was around her. He doesn’t remember when she had finally dozed off or when his eyes slid closed. He knew that he was no hero, but if he could make his crew member feel safe enough to sleep on him then that’s the least he could do. It’s his duty as a captain and a friend to make sure that she’s okay.

Roronoa Zoro: Again, like his captain, it wasn’t rare that the swordsman would be awake in the middle of the night. He had accustomed himself to survive on a couple hours of sleep. He never really had a good night’s sleep, just naps throughout the day and night. He usually had the ship to himself when on night shift and at around 3 hours into it, he would get bored and walk around. He didn’t expect to hear someone else up, especially at this time so his curiosity peaked. His footsteps made the wood creak under him but that didn’t deter the soft sobs that he heard. He noticed the door that led to the room was slightly cracked open and he peaked in.

He noticed (Y/N) sitting on her bed with her face in her hands in a weak attempt to muffle her sobs. Suddenly, he felt as if he was intruding on a private moment and awkwardness filled his veins. He never really knew how to comfort people, especially a crew mate that had just joined them. He slowly closed the door before she could notice and made his way back up to the crow’s nest. Why was he the one that noticed her distress? He racked his brain for what to do, eventually groaning and laying down.

“Great…” 

The next morning, (Y/N) couldn’t help but notice that whenever she and Zoro were in the same space, he would look as if he wanted to say something but he would immediately groan and walk off. The energy of the crew was draining sometimes so she found herself on the back of the boat, leaning against the railing and taking in the sea breeze. 

“Oi.” She looked over her shoulder and spotted the green haired swordsman walking up to her. She smiled at him as he leaned his back against the railing right next to her.

“Hey, Zoro, what’s up?” He sighed and silently placed his hand on top of her head. Her eyebrows knitted together and her eyes tried to search his face for answers but he kept looking ahead at the rest of the ship.

“… You don’t have to fake being happy. It must be exhausting.” He mumbled, loud enough for her to hear and he lowered his hand from her head. He missed the widening of her eyes and her surprised expression but he heard a soft sniffle come from his side.

“How… How did you know?” He instantly panicked at the shakiness from her voice and he rubbed the back of his neck.

“Oi. I didn’t mean to make you cry. I just can tell sometimes.” He cursed himself at his fumbling words but it was the best excuse he could come up with. It’d be way too awkward to bring up the night before. She looked down and rubbed her eyes, trying to hold back the dam that was about to burst. Even though he didn’t know how to comfort someone, he stayed by her side, letting her be vulnerable with him. He may have had an odd way to show it but just from his words, she knew that she met people that actually cared for her.

Cat Burglar Nami: After hanging out with Robin for a little while, Nami decided to head to bed first and let Robin finish up her chapter. She stretched her arms above her head and yawned, walking towards the girls’ room. The door was slightly cracked open and there was a faint light peering through. She figured that (Y/N) was still awake, which was a bit surprising since all three of them usually went to bed at the same time. She pressed her palm against the door but stopped when she heard soft muffled sobs.

Her eyes widened and she pushed the door enough to look in. It was an odd feeling to see the usually bubbly and happy crew member slumped over and tears falling from her (E/C) eyes. Nami, having grown close to the crew member, felt her protective instincts kick in but she knew she couldn’t just burst in. She gently knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for a response. (Y/N) quickly rubbed at her eyes but she knew that Nami saw already.

She ducked her head down as Nami sat down next to her. A sense of shame and embarrassment waved through her. 

“Nami… I….” Nami gently placed her hand over her crewmates’ and held (Y/N)’s hand in both of her own.

“Hey, you don’t have to explain.” She smiled at the teary eyed girl and squeezed her hand. “Just know that whatever you’re going through, whatever you’re feeling, everyone feels it at some point. You’re a part of our family now and we all understand.” (Y/N) felt her tears stream down her cheeks and she ducked her head down. Nami took this as an okay to gently wrap her arms around her and hold her close.

They stayed like that for a while and eventually, feeling safe and comforted, (Y/N) began to tell Nami what was wrong. How the night brought out so many negative emotions for her and how, even though she showed her happiness in front of them, she was honestly suffering. Nami stayed silent as she revealed her sorrows. Her empathy for the young crew member growing as she had felt the same way not too long ago. 

A soft couple of pats on her head made (Y/N) look up at Nami’s gentle smile and her voice was more comforting than what she was used to. Nami was known for mostly yelling at the boys in the crew or having a rough edge to her tone but this was different. (Y/N) could feel that the woman in front of her was truly concerned and cared for her.

“(Y/N), I know it’s hard. Keeping all this inside, however, isn’t healthy. Hiding the truth from us will only make you more emotionally exhausted and make us worried. You’re a part of our crew, our family. If we can help you feel better, we’re determined to do that, okay?” Nami ran a hand through the (H/C) strands of the crying woman and squeezed her again. “Even if it’s just sitting in silence and giving you a hug, we’re here for that. I’m here for that, okay?” 

Robin was surprised when she came into the room and noticed the tear stained cheeks of the new crew member when she came into the room only a couple minutes later. She noticed how close she and Nami were and a soft smile graced her lips before climbing into bed on her side.

Sniper King Usopp: Usopp was already an awkward and easily flustered person so when he found the new crew member curled up in the corner of the deck, sobbing silently to herself, he didn’t know what to do. 

Her curled up figure hit something within himself that was like a haunting memory. He remembered how he would curl up when no one was around and let himself cry back in Syrup village after his ‘crew members’ went home. Those days were rare now that he had his friends supporting him and he knew that he was with family.

Gathering the courage he had, he stepped over to the crew member, his bare feet ruffling the grass on deck and alerting her of his present. Her body stiffened and there was a hasty movement of her arm rubbing her eyes. Neither said a word as Usopp sunk down next to her. The sound of waves crashing against the boat and the creaking of the ship’s wooden boards were the only thing that stopped utter silence to overwhelm them.

“Something warm is good for when you’re trying to feel better.” (Y/N) looked at him with such bewilderment that, for a second, he thought he grew another head.

“I-I’m sorry?” Usopp rubbed the back of his head and felt his cheeks heat up slightly.

“You know, like tea or coffee or something warm. It always made me feel better.” Another moment of silence filled their ‘conversation’ and Usopp wondered if he should have just let her be. He opened his mouth and almost let a spew of apologies flow but was interrupted by her small voice.

“I didn’t want anyone to see me like this… At night, it just gets so bad…” Usopp looked at her and noticed the tears filling her eyes again. Oh boy, did he understand. He placed his hand on her knee and patted gently.

“I know. I was like that too.” Seeing the confused look in her teary eyes, he cleared his throat and explained further, “I hated when the sun would go down. Back at home, my only friends would go home and I’d be greeted by an empty house. It hurt a lot. Nights like those now though…. They don’t happen much anymore.” The confusion in her eyes changed to attentiveness as she gently placed her hand over his and squeezed.

“How did you do it?” Usopp looked at her with wide eyes before fully comprehending. 

“Accepting it and looking for help. I know the crew seems silly and mostly independent but when I need to talk to someone or need comfort, any of them will stop and help.” He gently squeezed her hand back and smiled. “So, if you need any help or just need to talk with someone, I’m here.” The soft smile on her lips made him smile and he looked up at the stars.

“… Can we talk now?” He peaked at her and smiled. 

“Of course we can. Tell Captain Usopp what’s on your mind.”

Black Leg Sanji: Sanji carefully placed a cup of tea in front of (Y/N) and sat across from her in the galley. He let his own warm mug heat up his hands while she took a sip of the tea. Silence filled the space between them, (Y/N) because she was still embarrassed and Sanji because he was trying to put his thoughts together. 

He never imagined seeing her in such a dark mood since her cheery and usually positive demeanor hid it well. He had only showed up to the kitchen to check if the locks on the fridge were actually locked just in case Luffy got up in the middle of the night to steal food again. When he saw the girl, he almost twirled in and lost himself. He noticed that her shoulders were shaking, however, and immediately stopped himself. He glanced at her form, which was still hunched over in front of him.

“Do you like the tea?” (Y/N) looked at him, surprised, and glanced back at the mug in front of her.

“I um yes… Thank you…” She paused before looking up at him. “Um… What type is this tea if you don’t mind me asking?” She asked, ducking her head nervously. He smiled and tapped the mug gently in his palms.

“It’s chamomile tea. I added some honey to sweeten it up a bit.” 

“I don’t think you’ve made this one before…. The taste isn’t familiar.” He nodded and took a sip before answering.

“I don’t make it often. I usually make it to calm down after a rough day.” He smiled, a hesitant pull on his lips, and tapping against the mug again. “I hope it helps you feel better. Why…. Um what were you upset about if you don’t mind me asking?”

She looked down at her tea and watched the steam disappear once it was exposed to the air outside of the mug. She took a breath and vaguely explained her situation with the night. Silence filled them and, from her body language, Sanji could tell she was getting uncomfortable. He noticed that her tea was low and got up to grab the kettle. Once he did, he filled her mug up again, using this opportunity to respond to her.

“You know you can trust any of us. I know I can be… a bit eccentric but, if something is genuinely bothering you, I’ll be here to listen or, at the very least,” he turned to smile at her while putting the kettle down, “make you tea when you need a pick me up.” At her slight smile and small nod, he sat with her and listened to her troubles for the night until she bid him a goodnight.

The next night when (Y/N) figured that all the members went to bed already, she felt her cheery facade fade and the overwhelming need to just mope around. She walked across the deck but the kitchen caught her eye. Curiosity got the best of her and she decided to see if Sanji kept his word, the craving of tea leading her way to the door. She pushed the door open and, there on the table, was a kettle and a teacup next to it, steam visibly floating above the teacup. Her eyes stung a bit but smiled to herself and sat down, gently holding the teacup and sipping at it. 

Tony Tony Chopper: Chopper was a lot more observant than people gave him credit for. He loved the new crew member’s positivity and cheeriness but he knew about the sad smiles that lifted her lips or the way her eyes spaced out with dullness. His suspicions were confirmed when he went to bed later than usual and heard sniffling from the girls’ room. 

He couldn’t burst into the room especially since he had a third of a chance that he was right. The next day, however, he noticed the slight puffiness under (Y/N)’s eyes and he knew. That night when everyone went to bed (except for the person on night watch) Chopper quickly caught up to the new member and tugged on her shirt gently. When she looked at him, she smiled and tilted her head in question. He pointed his hoof to the infirmary.

“Can I talk to you before you go to bed?” She reluctantly agreed but, since the sun was still going down, there was no harm in talking with the small doctor. He climbed onto his spinning chair and she sat down on one of the infirmary beds.

“What did you want to talk about?” Chopper suddenly grew nervous. Of course he was worried for her mental wellbeing but he could also come across as being nosey and putting his business where it didn’t belong. He cleared his throat and decided that this was the best.

“I… As a doctor and your friend…. I’ve been worried about you.” He finally spit out. At her confused gaze, he quickly turned the chair around to face his desk and looked through the papers that littered across the surface. “I-I’ve done research on depression because I wanted to see if I could help! There’s a medical way of doing it, like taking medicine but that’s not for everyone.” He spun around, scanning the paper he finally found and reading off of it.

“There’s also other ways, however! Like doing exercise or playing with the crew. Oh! And also getting a lot of sunshine helps a lot because of the chemicals in your body reacting positively to the sun! Um… The one thing I found in common with all the research I did was-” He looked up when he heard a sniffle and he stiffened at the sight of tears welling up in (Y/N)’s eyes. He silently put the paper down on the desk and slid down the chair. He walked over to the crying girl and gently rested his hooves on her knees. “The one thing everyone has said is to talk with someone…” 

(Y/N) couldn’t look away from his soft smile and she gently reached down to hold his small hooves in hers. A warmth spread across her chest at the expression on Chopper’s face. 

“… Can I hug you?” He blushed but nodded.

“O-Of course! B-But don’t think it’s an every time thing!” Although he said that, he climbed up the bed and hugged her waist. When she hugged him back, they both knew without speaking a word that Chopper was looking out for her and would be there whenever she needed him to be.

He made it a routine to find her before bed and give her a quick hug and asking if she was alright. As the doctor of the ship, of course he was concerned but, as a friend, he wanted to help even further.

Nico Robin: Robin is actually the first person to notice (Y/N)’s depression because she used to be like that. Around the people she cares about, she will put on her gentle smile and silently stay positive. Of course, she’s improved since then with the help of her friends but she understands the pain. The night used to bring her the darkest thoughts and make her question her own existence. She knows very well the gaze that (Y/N) has during the day and how she almost starts to crumble as the sun goes down and the crew heads to bed.

One night, she stayed awake in the aquarium room, reading one of her books by candlelight because the harsh ceiling lights would disturb the fish and the ambience that was created by the night. She heard creaking footsteps getting closer to the aquarium and had already guessed on who it was. 

The door creaked open and a small gasp escaped (Y/N)’s mouth when she spotted the raven haired woman. Before she could apologize, Robin smiled at her and gestured for her to come closer.

“Join me? It’s a beautiful night, isn’t it?” She hesitated but she made her way over to the empty spot next to Robin. She cleared her throat and shrugged slightly.

“I-I guess so…” Robin flipped the page in her book but glanced up at the (H/C) girl beside her. 

“Is it a rough night?” (Y/N)’s (E/C) eyes widened and she turned her head to face her. After a moment of silence, she ducked her head and squeezed her fingers together.

“… Almost every night is a bad night…” Robin sighed softly before moving the blanket from around her shoulders to drape it across hers and closing her book.

“I understand. I don’t miss those days.” She could feel the girl’s wide eyes staring at her.

“You… You know what it’s like?” Robin nodded and smiled at the younger crew member.

“We all do. They don’t seem like it but they do.” After a shaky breath, the (H/C) haired girl ducked her head again.

“… How do you get it to stop?” Robin gently placed her hand over the girl’s shoulder.

“It’s going to take some time which I know you don’t want to hear but it’s true. It becomes easier when you accept it and then you can learn to deal with it and control it. It also helps to have people on your side. You have this crew with you.” A soft smile graced her lips and she moved her hand to grab her book again. “I’m usually up at this time if you ever have anything on your mind that you want to talk about.” 

The younger girl sniffled and nodded before glancing at the book in her hands.

“W-What are you reading?” Robin smiled again and moved closer to her before explaining what had happened up to that point.

Cyborg Franky: It was an accident when he stumbled upon her but he couldn’t just leave her like that. He tried to be quiet but his size made that difficult so when she looked up at him with her tear streaked cheeks, he blushed lightly and almost stumbled over his feet.

After a moment of silence, she was far too embarrassed to start a conversation with the cyborg after being caught and he didn’t really know what to say. Eventually, he moved over to plop down next to her. Silence once again before the blue haired man cleared his throat.

“Cola?” He saw her shake her head but still took one out for himself from his stomach compartment and chugged one down. Before they could fall into another silence, Franky surprised her by talking again. “Being sad sucks, doesn’t it?” She mutely nodded and ducked her head.

“This happens a lot. It’s nothing new.”

“Oh… That must suck a lot.” The corner of her lips twitches slightly at his words, a small victory for him.

“Yeah, it does suck a lot…” As he took another swig of his drink, he placed the, now, empty bottle onto the deck in front of them.

“I hope it’s not rude but you don’t seem the type to be sad easily.” She shook her head.

“It’s normal… I try to hide it but we both know how that turned out…” She mumbled and he raised an eyebrow.

“Why do you try to hide it?” She blinked and looked at him, tilting her head to one side. “I mean, it’s not like we’ll say something about your…. more negative emotions. You’re human too.” She shrugged slightly and bowed her head again.

“I… I’d rather be the cheerful and friendly girl you all know…” She mumbled through a sniffle. Franky held his hand out and his palm opened up to reveal a smaller hand with a napkin between it’s fingers and held out to her.

“Forcing positivity won’t lead to anything. I should know.” She glanced at him, encouraging him to further explain. “I know it seems easy to just pretend that everything is okay but it’s not. It just hurts a lot more. You’ve got friends like us! We want you to be yourself around us and not the person you think we want as a friend.” He noticed her eyes tearing up and the crumpled tissue in her hand. His hand extended again and let out another tissue. “Aww, don’t cry, (Y/N). I don’t have that many tissues and I’ll cry if you start crying.” His voice started wavering as he said that.

(Y/N) let out a shaky giggle and sniffled again, seeing that his own eyes were tearing up. She reached out and gently patted the tissue in her hand to his eyes, rubbing away his tears before they fell. Somehow it turned into trying not to make him cry. Even though it wasn’t the best pep talk, he was able to cheer her up for the night.

Soul King Brook: Brook is actually very perceptive and was one of the first people to notice the sad smile on the new crew members’ lips. She joined before he did and spent some time with her while at Thriller Bark. He kept an eye on her when the rest of the crew couldn’t. He noticed that she was tense the whole time and her head was ducked down the whole time. He was quick to realize that the endless night was starting to affect (Y/N) and was able to empathize with her. He, too, was very familiar on what the night could bring and the sadness that it brought on. His observations continued even after they left Thriller Bark.

(Y/N) had once confided in him that she adored his music and would often compliment his skills or sit on the deck next to where he stood and listen quietly. When the sun went down, he knew that (Y/N)’s mood would reveal itself and always in the darkest of ways. He saw her scuttle across the deck, most likely to find a place to be alone, while everyone headed below deck for bed. he looked over at his violin and picked it up.

“(Y/N)-san.” He couldn’t recall when he actually opened his mouth to call out for her but he smiled when she turned to look at him. He motioned for her to come over with his violin’s bow and she obediently went over. 

“Yes, Brook?” She mumbled, rubbing her arm and really hoping that whatever he wanted would be quick. He crossed his bow wielding arm across his chest and bowed slightly at her.

“Would you like to help me with my song?” Her eyebrow raised at his odd request. She didn’t know how she could help. She opened her mouth, a denial ready at her lips, but the words stopped in her throat. It was much easier to deal with her depression when she was focused on something else and in the company of another. After all, she and Brook became very acquainted even before he joined the crew.

That’s when it clicked. Brook knew of the hardship she faced every night. He was willing to stay up with her, despite having had his own issues with the night, and help her forget her depression at least for one night. The thought made her tear up a bit. She cleared her throat and, as steady as she could at the moment, answered the man in front of him.

“I-If I can help in anyway, why not?” Brook let out a soft version of his regular laugh. 

“That’s what I like to hear.” He waited until she made herself comfortable on the bannister behind them. He lifted his violin up between his chin and shoulder, a soft tune starting to play, filling the silent night with a beautiful melody. (Y/N) gripped the railing under her fingertips and felt her eyes close as the sound of Brook’s violin calmed her usually racing nerves.

Monkey D. Luffy:

He’s pleasantly surprised and just thinks that it’s awesome that his s/o has so many sides. Just something else to brag about.

Roronoa Zoro:

He’s surprised for like a second but then will smirk and go back to fighting his own enemies. He knew you had that in you somewhere.

Cat Burglar Nami:

She’s honestly terrified. So many people on the ship are terrifyingly strong and she thought you were a normal one. It’s only until the two of you sit down and chat will she calm back down.

Sogeking Usopp:

Like Nami, he’s terrified but he has a sense of pride in knowing how strong you are. He has tons of questions as to how you, his cutie, is so strong.

Black Leg Sanji:

He doesn’t know whether to be worried or impressed but he chooses impressed at the moment. He finds it really attractive but kind of let down that he can’t sweep in to save you.

Tony Tony Chopper:

He’s so impressed! You’re like a superhero! He finds how powerful you are really cool (a bit scary but still!) and sees you in a different light.

Nico Robin:

Interesting. Knowing now that you have a cute side yet another side that can take down pretty much an army, well... she’s more than a bit intrigued.

Cyborg Franky:

He is shocked but impressed so he ends up just being speechless with gestures. You always manage to surprise him!

Dead Bones Brook:

Monkey D. Luffy: It seemed like everyone was excited for a relaxing day at the beach! Even Zoro had changed into some swim trunks!… Wait, why hadn’t you changed yet? Luffy tilted his head and went over to you, a bounce in his step and rubber tubes around his waist and biceps.

“Oi, (Y/N)!” His shout startled you out of your daze and you smiled at his adorable form covered in swimming tubes and flippers on his feet.

“Looks like someone’s excited for today?” He grinned but then frowned suddenly, making you tilt your head.

“Yeah! But why aren’t you changed?” You suddenly became quiet, unsure of how to answer the straw hat captain.

“Um…”

“Do you not have a swimsuit? Nami or Robin could lend you one!” He chirped, terrifying you at the thought. You quickly shook your head.

“N-No! I-I… I have one. I’ll go change right now then…” His grin only widened and he gave you a thumbs up before jumping off the deck and landing on the sand. You sighed and went to change, not wanting to ruin the beach day for the captain. Changing into the one piece you had previously bought. You tried not to look in the mirror as you gathered your confidence. You quickly left the room to the deck and hesitated seeing the rest of the crew already enjoying themselves. You stepped down the ladder to the sand and tried to keep yourself from their sights This was short lived.

Luffy ran past, chasing after Chopper and Usopp to go to the ocean, when he skidded to a stop in front of you, sending sand flying from his feet. You wanted to shrink away and disappear when he kept a stare on you. He suddenly grinned and went over to you, grabbing your hands.

“Wow! You look so pretty, (Y/N)! Let’s go swim now!” He exclaimed before pulling you into the water with him, making you blush.

Roronoa Zoro: Zoro yawned as he leaned against the doorway that led to below deck with his arms crossed, waiting for you. When he heard the door creak open, he turned to look at you.

“Hey, it’s about time-” His words died in his throat as you came out in your swimsuit. A silence overcame the two of you as a blush slowly made its way on both of your faces; his came out much darker than yours. You shuffled uncomfortably under his gaze as he raised his hand to cover his mouth. You were surprised when he looked to the side.

“Zoro?” He cleared his throat.

“Maybe you changing was a bad idea.” He mumbled. You suddenly felt like you wanted to go back in the room and hide. Did you look that bad?

“W-What?… Do I look bad?” You could see how his face turn redder and he groaned.

“N-No. You look great and that’s the problem. That shitty cook will be all over you and I’ll have to keep an eye on you so he doesn’t do anything weird.” He grumbled, looking around for something to throw over you. There was warmth that went through your veins up to your cheeks and made your blush just as red as his.

“W-Wait, y-you think I-I look okay?” You were thinking that you might kill him with how red his face got.

“I-Idiot! D-Don’t make me say it again!” His flustered state worsening. The two of you jumped when you heard your captain yell about hurrying up and joining them. He sighed, unable to find anything to cover you with that wouldn’t raise suspicion from the other members. He glanced at you when the two of you were heading off, only for a blush to come back when he spotted you. Best believe he didn’t take a nap since he was shielding you from the pervert’s eyes.

Cat Burglar Nami: Why did you agree to this again? Oh yeah, you didn’t. Nami just had a way with words that you found yourself in these situations. That’s how you wound up at a clothing store in the dressing room with a handful of swimsuits stacked on the bench that was in there.

With your back to the mirror, you tried to smooth out the material that covered your body and cracked the door open slightly. Nami stood up from the bench, her arms already holding her own shopping, and grinned at seeing you.

“Come on out! Let me see it!” You held your breath as you stepped out.

“I-I don’t know about all this, Nami-“ You didn’t even have a moment to let your insecurities to hit before the orange haired woman rushed up to you, leaving her clothes on the bench, and gripping your shoulders. You tried to listen to her but she was talking too quickly. You zeroed in on her voice and blushed as her words finally processed.

“It looked so cute on the hanger but I knew it’d look much cuter on you! I was right! It fits you so well!” You blushed a bit more as she grabbed your hands, her grin so bright that she almost blinded you.

“Y-You… What?” She grinned, taking advantage of holding your hands to spin you around so she could see the full ensemble (her words). She was too excited to even notice your shocked expression.

“This color really matches your skin. It makes you look so cute! Go try on the others!” You smiled to yourself as she put you back in the dressing room, squealing about how excited she was to see the others. You glanced at yourself in the mirror and thought back to her words. You did look cute.

Sniper King Usopp: It was a really hot day so a day on the beach was really needed! Usopp pulled on his swimming trunks and slapped on his goggles as Luffy and Chopper ran off excitedly. He wanted to join them but he decided to wait for you so that you could have fun all together. When you finally emerged from your room, a light blush made its way on his cheeks and he smiled, putting hands on his hips.

“Well, look at you! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear a swimsuit before!” You froze and immediately started shuffling your feet, rubbing your arm.

“I… I uh usually don’t.” You murmured, surprised at the grin that came up on his face that accompanied his blush.

“You should!” His blush darkened slightly only for him to get on the ladder, smiling at you still. You were surprised at his words and smiled a bit before walking over to the ladder himself.

“You actually think I look… okay?” You murmured, the insecurity coming back. He raised an eyebrow as he climbed down the ladder, hopping off so you can come down too.

“Okay? I think you look great!” He grinned as he helped you get down from the rungs of the ladder. Your blush matched his as he walked to the shore with him. “We should suggest more beach days to Luffy! He’ll probably love it!” The two of you laughed at the perfect timing of your captain being held back from diving into the ocean without his floaties.

Black Leg Sanji: The moment you stepped out on the deck, Sanji had let out a small gasp and turned around, his back facing you. Oh no, what did it mean? You felt your eyes start to sting. You didn’t have Nami or Robin’s body type but Sanji had never treated you differently before but now… Was it because you wore the swimsuit? You knew this was a bad idea… Before you could fully wallow in your insecurities and run away to change, his trembling form finally spoke up.

“(Y/N)-swan, I should have known that seeing you in a swimsuit would be dangerous!” You were confused by his words before he turned his head to look at you from over his shoulder. His hand was covering his nose and you could see the steam of blood seeping out from between his fingers.

When his eyes landed on yours, it seemed like the blood only became heavier and he had to quickly turn away. You were afraid that he would pass out by this rate. You were worried from him but there was an odd sense of satisfaction that YOU gave him a nosebleed when he usually got those from other women.

He carefully threw his suit jacket over your head while wiping the blood from his nose, failing miserably. As he helped you off the ship, every time he accidentally brushed against your bare skin, he would actually fall over and have Chopper snap him out of it. It was sweet that he tried to keep you away from the view of the others but only caused him more harm since you looked adorable in the swimsuit AND his suit jacket.

Tony Tony Chopper: How could you say no to his adorable face? When he asked you to supervise him in the ocean, of course you caved in. You initially wanted to just go into the ocean with your regular clothes but then the little reindeer interrupted with a slight tilt of the head and a pout, saying: “But I don’t want you to ruin your clothes!”

You caved in and went to change into your swimsuit that you dreaded to put on but it was for the little fluff-ball so you sucked it up… for now. You stepped off the ladder and rubbed at your arm as you watched the rest of the crew either relax in the sand or run around to the ocean. Chopper skidded to a stop with a floaty around his waist, big enough for him to have to hold while he ran to you. The big grin on his face made you relax and return a small smile to the fluff.

He held his hoof out to you and his grin seemed to widen when you held it and he tugged you to the water’s shore. You nervously glanced to the sand when the two of you got closer to the crew and you hoped that your palms weren’t as sweaty as you feared they were.

“(Y/N),” Chopper’s voice broke your thoughts and you shifted your gaze to look at him. “I’m glad you changed! It would be a shame if your clothes got all wet! Let’s go swim!” He cheered, making you giggle at his enthusiasm.

At that moment, his innocence only helped to reassure you that he wasn’t one to judge you. No one in the crew was and, as you kept a grip on Chopper so he wouldn’t sink, you actually felt normal wearing a swimsuit with them seeing you.

Nico Robin: The two of you rarely spent time together so it was a mutual agreement to look around the island’s main town and just talk. The town, however, was like Water 7 in the fact that at every corner there were pools to dive in at or the ocean. When the two of you stopped at a shop, you immediately felt yourself stiffen when she suggested looking for swimsuits.

As you stared at yourself in the mirror, you could only spot the imperfections you have and that made you want to rip the swimsuit off and change back to your comfortable clothes. Robin was in the dressing room right across from you, however, and you really couldn’t do that.

“I’m ready. What about you, (Y/N)?” You heard her call out. You gave a timid ‘yes’ before opening the stall. Right as you opened the stall, Robin had opened her own. She smiled when she saw you and stepped closer to you. You tensed up again when her hands hovered over your sides. She gently grasped at the fabric and helped you straighten out the fabric. “There. I think this one looks perfect on you.”

“R-Really?” She smiled and nodded, tilting her head to look at the other side of you.

“I think it really brings out your shape and it’s your favorite color too so it’s a plus.” Her words made you smile and blush.

“O-Oh… Thank you, Robin.” She smiled and looked down at her own outfit.

“What do you think about this?” She asked, looking at you. You smiled, feeling a lot more better than when you first walked in.

“You look beautiful, as always.” She giggled and thanked you. The two of you walked out with your own swimsuits for the rest of the beautiful day.

Cyborg Franky: You had stayed under the umbrella on a towel while everyone ran around the beach. You were in your swimsuit but you kept a sweater on and another towel around your waist. You really wanted to stay on the ship but you couldn’t go against your captain’s orders, although it wasn’t a strict rule, you didn’t want to ruin the fun day.

Your attention was snapped away from Usopp trying to save Luffy from the ocean to the loud yell that came from next to you. Your speedo wearing crewmate made poses next to you, making you raise an eyebrow at his eccentricity.

“(Y/N)!!! Why are you dressed in that sweater?! It’s burning out here!” He yelled, making you blush and hope that none of the crew actually heard and turned to look at you.

“I, uh, I-I’ll take it off later, Franky.” He frowned but decided not to push you.

“Alright then. But you should join us for volleyball! We’ll have a lot of fun!” He grinned before going over to the volleyball net that Zoro and Sanji had just finished putting up, despite their arguments. Seeing the crew getting ready to play, you really wanted to go play with them. You looked down at yourself, frowning at the towel and sweater that covered you. With shaky hands, you moved the towel aside and shrugged your sweater off.. After a deep breath, you walked over to the crew. You could only blush at Franky spotting you and grinning.

“(Y/N)!!! You look SUPER~!!” He yelled, giving you a thumbs up before stretching his arms straight above him.

Dead Bones Brook: You thought that you might have actually killed the skeleton’s second life. Every chance Brook had, he asked you to see your panties which you found funny. A swimsuit was very similar to that and when he spotted you, he immediately fell back with blood (you had no explanation for it) where his nose would have been.

“Brook! Are you okay?” You heard him mumbling so you leaned closer to hear and blush.

“I have been blessed to see (Y/N)-san in a swimsuit~ That’s almost as good as panties~ I could die happy right now~” You blushed darkly while Nami and Sanji hit Brook’s head, the blonde having a nosebleed of his own. Even though he was a perverted skeleton, you couldn’t help but blush at his comments. He was sincerely happy to have seen you in a swimsuit, a swimsuit that you didn’t even want to wear if it weren’t for the hot day.
