You’re swaying in his arms, eyes glossy, cheek pressed against his chest.
“Croco-babyyy…”
“Don’t call me that.”
“I LOVE you.”
He goes rigid.
You grab the front of his shirt.
“Like SOOO much. Like, if someone tried to stab you, I'd bite them. Right on the ankle.”
You squint.
“Your scary lil hook hand is soooo cool, I love it. You're my favorite angry man.”
He malfunctions. Literally just stares at you like you're an alien who dropped from heaven.
“You're drunk.”
“I'm in loveeeeeeee!”
You pass out mid-hug.
He just stands there. Frozen.
Mutters:
“...What the hell am I supposed to do with that.”
(Spoiler: He tucks you in and sits there watching you sleep like a guard dog with heartburn.)
You cling to his arm like a koala. You’re warm and soft and talking a mile a minute.
“You’re sooo handsome. Like, it’s RUDE actually. I have to look away sometimes cause you’re too hot and I feel like I’m gonna die.”
He blinks.
“You’re intoxicated.”
“I’m INTO YOU.”
He blinks again.
You poke his chest with a pout.
“Do you know how annoying it is to like someone who looks like a vampire prince and has very judgmental eyebrows?”
He raises one.
“THAT.”
Then you melt into his coat and sigh.
“I love you sooooooo much… If you asked me to run away and start a farm I’d do it. For you. I'd plant cucumbers.”
He doesn’t sleep that night.
You climb into his lap like a sleepy kitten.
“Marrrrrrcooooo…”
“Yeah, baby?”
You press your forehead to his.
“I love you SO much it’s dumb. Like, I wanna kiss your face and also cry and also buy you matching socks.”
He laughs softly.
“That’s a lotta feelings, huh?”
“It’s not my fault your smile makes me feel like life is worth living.”
He actually covers his face because holy shit that one got to him.
“I’m gonna fucking die, yoi.”
“Noooo you’re not, I love you too much. I won’t let you die. I’ll protect you with SOCKS.”
You fall asleep on him mid-rant.
He kisses your hair and whispers:
“You’re killin’ me, songbird.”
You run up to him and tackle-hug him.
“ACE I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!”
“Wha—?!! Are you okay?!”
“I’m in love with you.”
“YOU’RE WHAT?!”
“Like a lot. Like, if you turned into a plant I’d water you.”
He’s already spiraling. Red. Stammering. Sweating.
“I—uh—what?! When?! Why?!!”
“Cause you’re cute and warm and you make my tummy do loop-de-loops.”
“SO DO YOU!!! WAIT—NO—WHAT AM I SAYING?!”
“Okay, wait, but would you love me if I was a worm?”
You both pass out cuddling under a table with Ace going into specific details about he'd take care of you if you were a worm and how you'd take care of him if he was a plant.
Sabo finds you both crying and whispers:
“Idiots. They deserve each other.”
You stumble in. Red-faced. Teary-eyed. Drunk on rum and love.
“Shanks…”
“Here we go…”
You grab his coat.
“I’m gonna say something crazy.”
“Hit me.”
“I’m in love with you. Like, I’d kill a seagull for you.”
“...That’s a weird standard but I’ll take it.”
“And I think your laugh is sexy. And your scars are cool. And your nose is NICE. And I’d marry you. Right now.”
He pauses.
Smiles.
“Say it again tomorrow when you’re sober, sweetheart.”
“Okay. But you’re mine now.”
“Deal. By the way, what’s your ring size?”
You shuffle in with a flushed face and a stuffed penguin.
“Trafalgaaaar…”
“Don’t slur my name.”
“I love you.”
He looks up from his book like you just summoned an ancient evil.
“Excuse me?”
“So much. You’re smart. And hot. And I like your hands. And your voice. And if you died I’d start a cult.”
“...A what.”
“A cult. With matching outfits. And hats.”
“You’re fevered.”
“I’m in love.”
You lean on his shoulder and then pass out on his lap.
He doesn’t move for two hours.
You run into him mid-giggle.
“ROSINANTEEEE!!”
He flails.
You grab his face and kiss his cheek.
“You are the love of my LIFE. Your laugh is cute. Your coat is STUPID but I LOVE IT. I love YOU.”
He goes full tomato. Tears are already streaming down his face.
You write “I’D DIE FOR YOU” on a sticky note and slap it to his chest.
Then immediately fall asleep in his arms.
He’s crying and hugging you and writing down “I LOVE YOU TOO” over and over and over.
He genuinely just loves you so much.

synopsis: what i think the love languages of different one piece characters are (platonic/romantic)
feat: luffy, zoro, usopp, nami, sanji, ace, law
notes: i feel like love languages can be interpreted in both platonic or romantic ways, so i tried to mix it up, but feel free to interpret it how you will!
warnings: slight spoilers for sanji's (full) backstory (?)
physical touch. LUFFY is big-hearted and compassionate, sending love to everyone he comes across on his journey often without even meaning to. he is very attached to the people he loves - and very much physically.
luffy is always seen hanging off the arms of zoro, wrapping himself around nami, sitting close to robin when she reads, it's his way of making those around him feel loved and protected.
although he isn't massively clingy to the point where he won't allow you to have your own space, expect a degree of clinginess! physical affection is how he expresses his love towards others as well as what brings him comfort. he is a huge hugger: hugging comforts him when he feels sad, but also helps him comfort those he cares about.
quality time + acts of service. due to ZORO being reserved, he doesn't often say much - these love languages don't often require words for showing and receiving love.
quality time matters a lot to zoro. even if it's just sitting in silence, a small conversation, training together, or walking outside, he enjoys having someone by his side in these moments as the time spent together shows a level of love and commitment in the friendship or relationship.
zoro strongly values loyalty. spending quality time with him shows that you care strongly about being together and genuinely enjoy being next to him even in the smallest of moments. he likes that he doesn't always have to say things to keep it interesting, sometimes just having someone there can feel very loving and he appreciates that.
zoro is big on actions - if he seriously loves you, he's always got your back and would go to the greatest lengths to show it. he would practically level an army for someone he loves and then act like it's nothing at all. he treats people he loves with a priority and wants to ensure that they are safe and protected.
giving/receiving gifts. for NAMI, i feel like this is a given, but this doesn't mean she is ultra-materialistic and that gifts are the only way to her heart!
when nami was young, she never asked for or expected anything, and lived in a life of poverty. to receive gifts from someone she loves would make her whole world, as it's something she was never able to experience when she was younger. she loves receiving gifts especially when they are well thought-out and gifted with love and consideration.
however, she also expresses love through giving gifts. although nami always jokes about the crew owing her money and needing to pay her back at high interest, she seriously would never trade friendship or love for money. if it's for someone she loves, she would gladly use the money instead to help them or spoil them affectionately with gifts.
words of affirmation. USOPP feels loved by hearing words that make him feel grounded and secure.
usopp is insecure, unsure of his place in the crew as well as insecure of his lack of strength compared to those around him. he has an inferiority complex - hearing words of affirmation remind him that he is good enough and that there is no need to compare himself to others.
usopp is a liar, yes - but he just wants to be believed in. words of affirmation make him feel sure of himself and that there is no need to lie about who he is. he feels the most loved and validated when someone accepts him for his true self underneath the lies, as this allows him to become more confident in his own skin.
however, he also uses words of affirmation to show his support and care of others. usopp is full of stories (although most of them are fictional), and would use his words to cheer you up in your hardest moments.
words of affirmation + acts of service. SANJI expresses love by giving his all, but never expecting to receive any love in return - words of affirmation and acts of service give him the love he never knew he needed.
sanji's traumatic childhood of being told that he was a failure and that he shouldn't have been born by his biological family caused him to feel unworthy of love. words of affirmation make him feel deserving of love and care after feeling worthless all his life.
sanji is extremely selfless, going to great lengths to protect and give to the people he loves. he goes out of his way to do acts of service for his friends but feels selfish asking for anything in return. acts of service give him the love he has been missing - going out of your way to do things for him, big or small, makes him feel loved as he feels reassured that his existence is not a burden and that it's not selfish to want things for himself, like favours or help.
sanji will always offer words of affirmation and shower you with compliments to remind you of how much he loves and admires you. he is also very emotionally aware and highly sensitive to the needs of others - he expresses this through acts of service (especially with cooking!) to show his care to who he loves, especially if they need it.
physical touch + words of affirmation. ACE resembles luffy in many ways, he is very physical displaying and receiving love. but besides affection, he needs assurance through words that he deserves love.
ace loves physical touch and is very playful when displaying affection. he loves a good hug, kiss, tickle fight, cuddle, hair ruffle, you name it - he finds it fun and feels like it's the easiest way to let someone know he cares about them or loves them. although he is well-mannered and not as rowdy as he was when he was little, he can be when he's affectionate.
however, ace is also similar to sanji in the sense that he is extremely self-sacrificing and would put his life on the line for those he loves. he needs words of affirmation to remind him that his life is valued and that he shouldn't throw it away selflessly because he deserves to live and be loved.
ace also cares deeply about others' happiness, he would definitely use words of affirmation to comfort you during hard times or to build up your confidence and remind you of how much he loves and cares about you.
acts of service + quality time. similar to zoro, LAW s very reserved and introverted. he isn't so sure how to show or receive love in the typical way, and has his own ways of doing so, mainly based on actions opposed to words.
law is very practical. he cares a lot about being efficient and doing things right because of his role as the captain (and doctor) of the crew. acts of service such as favours or giving him a helping hand mean a lot to him as someone who is always busy and working. he also expresses his love towards others through acts of service, such as protecting or aiding others when they are injured. he is not the most emotionally expressive, so his love language is deeply rooted in doing opposed to saying.
law also highly values quality time as he feels as though meaningful interactions with a friend/partner make the relationship strong and connected. having deep, meaningful conversations with him or supporting him in difficult moments let him know that he can trust you and that you care about him.

Girl time
Lotta stuff in canon and fanon about Zoro being wild and brutish and violent and it's not untrue depending on the circumstances but I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for how often he's actually gentle, calm, and even altruistic. He's not just sort of working toward his goal without causing too much harm to innocent parties; he goes out of his way to do good even to his own detriment, and that's how we're introduced to him in the first place. Luffy doesn't pick people for his crew that aren't kind, and Zoro is a prime example of that even if he's not flashy or conventionally polite about it.
