One Piece's Odd Socks

Prompt: 44. Bullshit

Zoro rapped his knuckles against the bar. The landlord quickly passed him another bottle of sake while the swordsman was still congratulating himself for not breaking the bar in half.

Roronoa Zoro was officially drunk.

He had drunk every single other person in this place under the table and he was still standing…No wait, he was still sitting on a barstool.

Whatever.

Same thing.

Around him there seemed to be a party going on. It was slowly dying as the people fell to the floor with various amounts of dignity, unconscious or groaning as the alcohol they had consumed fought back, or exited the way it had come in.

Zoro didn't know these people, but somewhere in his sake-distorted mind, he thought he knew why they where celebrating. Today was special in someway. He stared down at the white bottle of mind numbing goodness and frowned. As the memories swam back through a sea of sake, he snorted and threw the bottle back, chugging it down.

For one night only, he would drink himself under the table. He would drink until he could forget it completely.

Today, the Rookie King, Luffy D. Monkey had been executed. It could have been yesterday, but Zoro did not give two shits about the time.

He had watched his captain die. The man he had risked his life for countless times and had been unable to save him again, bound by his last crappy order as their captain. There was no flash of lightening, no weird wind or his father to save him this time.

Luffy was dead.

It was bullshit really, because Luffy was right there beside him. Sitting on the stood right there and drinking his juice, grinning at him.

Zoro knew Luffy's rubbery arms still encircled the now disbanded Strawhats. The crew could go as far as they wanted, but Luffy would pull them back together. An invisible, unbreakable bond created by the man who had brought them together in the first place.

Zoro rapped the bar again, the image of Luffy laughing at him strangely comforting. And the only thing in view that didn't have a double.

68. Feathers

Pell stood by the grave they had dug for him, read the words they had written and smiled at it. For some reason, the thought they had cared enough to make a grave for him overruled the irritation that they thought he had died because of that blast. He nearly had, according to his rescuers, but that was neither the point nor the problem.

The problem was that he now had to go back to the palace and prove that he was alive.

It might be a little awkward.

Pell looked up at the sun and headed towards the palace before it got any later and he was mistaken as a ghost or some other apparition. He walked through the lines of rebels and royal fighters who had died in the battle, his matted and broken feathers picked up by the wind, streaming in front of him like a forewarning that he was coming home.

67. Flying

Vivi was dreaming. Kohza didn't know what of yet, but she was smiling.

He hoped her happiness was because of him - of his presence in her study - but he wasn't that naive. She had many things that would make her happy, the majority of them where not memories of him. Her head jerked slightly and he smiled as the stress he had seen start to engrave itself on her features was washed away.

A breeze rolled into the room, carrying with it a feather. Kohza picked it up from where it had fallen out the ebb of air.

Pell had returned, dirty and wounded but alive. Kohza had never seen her so happy, tears had leaked happily from her eyes and she had thrown her arms around the pair of them. She had winded the eagle and surprised Kohza, but neither had minded. Their princess was just happy they where alive.

Vivi must be dreaming about flying with Pell. Kohza smiled and placed the files he had brought to her on her desk. As long as she wasn't falling, it was okay.

24. Stars

Coby and Helmeppo huddled together under the small blanket they had found in the abandoned house - it was more like a shack but it offered little protection. It had been snowing all day and the clouds had exhausted themselves, leaving the sky clear. The Marine Apprentices where convinced it was even colder now compared to the day despite the lack of a blizzard. Garp had left them here, saying that he would be back in a week and that they should be able to survive. They had made it through three days so far.

Coby let out a sigh and looked up through one of the many holes in the ceiling. "At least the stars are pretty." He muttered. Helmeppo let out a defeated, irritated sigh, too fed up with the cold and the wet to appreciate the uncaring stars.

60. Criminal

Captain Smoker sat on the deck of the Marine ship, staring into the dark sea stretched out before him.

There where some strange people on this sea.

The chief amongst them was the Strawhat pirate captain. Luffy D Monkey. The grandson of Garp, the Hero of the Marines.

The bizarre pirate had commanded his loyal-as-a-dog right hand man, Roronoa Zoro to save him - a marine captain. As a rule, Smoker tried not to think about this, but the subject was now rooted firmly in his mind for the night.

Fantastic.

Smoker knew that he lived with his own brand of justice, one that he was sharing with his own loyal but clumsy right hand man – woman – whatever. He liked this life and he knew his duty to the Marines and himself. But with a drink in his hand and an uneventful night lying around him quietly, Smoker found himself wondering if the Strawhats where actually criminals.

They where to the Marines as a whole, the answer was obvious, every single one of them held a bounty now.

But in Alabaster, he himself had told them to escape and had let them go. He couldn't decide if his own brand of justice would label them misunderstood kids or dangerous criminals. They had saved Alabaster, they had rid the East Blue of Arlong, they had dealt with the Golden Lion, they had done the right thing…Just on the wrong side of the law?

They had now broken into every major place of the Marines. Enies Lobby was destroyed, but that was CP9's fault. Them and their buster call. The idiots.

Then the Marines had put on a huge show to execute Ace, almost inviting the Whitebeard Pirates and their ally's to fight them. They knew that it would enrage his 'little brother' Luffy and he had come too. Smoker had not been surprised.

Impell Down had lost its claim as the most secure prison, over 300 prisoners had escaped and Marinefold… Well that was a wreck. But whose fault had it been? The Pirates Luffy's. But who had made him do it?

Smokers head was about to explode. He didn't know, this way of thinking was putting the Marines as the criminals, not the pirates, meaning he was a criminal.

Was this how pirates felt?

"PIRATES!" Yelled the lookout pointing behind Smoker.

Smoker almost jumped out of his chair in relief. His own thoughts where too dangerous to be left with.

34. Night Light

Chopper was in his medical room, this time the sick one on the bed. Nami had taken over as the doctor for the first part of the night, keeping his fever down as best she could. Robin touched the red head's shoulder, waking her quietly. Nami stretched and wondered off to bed, muttering something that Robin didn't quite catch.

Robin paid her no mind and changed the towel on Chopper's head. His feverish eyes opened briefly. The archeologist watched a spark of recognition flash across his eyes before they closed. Happy that he was okay for the moment, Robin sat to watch over them. Chopper whimpered a while later and she frowned. A bad dream?

She thought for a moment and lit the small lantern at the end of the bed.

As another thought, Robin left the door open, knowing that the reindeer preferred the cold and settled into the seat, watching the now calm reindeer as the candle flickered gently in the slight breeze.

64. Dancing

Brook had always liked playing music that people danced too. It was a challenge to stay in perfect tempo so that the dancers could perform to the best. The way the music brought the room or the party or the world to life was fantastic and the skeleton loved it.

But the best thing about dance music was definitely the dancers.

They had a habit of flashing their panties – Yohohoho!

4. Dreams

Shanks looked down at the poster in his hand. Strawhat Luffy, a mere newbie to the game with only B40,000 on his head. It was cute really and no doubt Luffy was happy with it. The new captain had defeated a Fishman, which was impressive and enough for the Red Hair Pirates to throw a party, not that they really needed the excuse, but they all remembered Luffy as a boy who had wanted to be a man. Many toasts where called in the Strawhat's honor and Shanks laughed and rose his glass with his nakama.

The next poster came in worth more than Shanks expected, and much sooner. He soon learned the reason behind it – Crocodile. Luffy had defeated one of the Seven Warlords. Shanks hoped that the boy knew what this new bounty meant to the fledgling captain. Flicking Luffy's poster up, he saw Roronoa Zoro's bounty and his bounty name. Zoro would know that the bounty hunters would see Luffy as easy prey. As the first mate of his crew, Shanks expected the swordsman to look after him.

The Red Hair Pirates threw another party for the B120,000 bounty.

It took longer for the B300.000 to come in. Shanks had been in a bad mood that day but upon seeing the posters – there where eight of them – he found himself grinning at them. This must be the full crew. At Nico Robin's poster, he couldn't help but smirk. Luffy had never cared about someone's past. At the B50, the lowest bounty he had ever seen, Shanks frowned. This animal was a zoan, there must be something about this 'Chopper' for the animal to catch and keep Luffy's childish attention. And the Marines must have underestimated him.

At this news, the Red Hair Pirates drank until they could no longer see, as was becoming tradition.

Yassop tacked 'Sogeking's' poster to the wall behind his bed, fully convinced it was his son, Usopp. Some of his nakama where not so sure and Yassop fell to threatening them with new earring holes if they didn't shut it. No one argued with the sniper.

The next time Shanks saw Luffy, it was in person. Shanks had arrived at Marinefold to stop the War of the Best. The Red Hair captain knew Luffy would never be the same after this, after loosing Ace, but the red head hoped he would be okay. He would have to be.

Something hit his ankles and Shanks looked down to see that the Strawhat had made its way back to him by itself. This hat represented a dream passed on, from Roger to Shanks, from Shanks to a crybaby who had stolen the gum-gum fruit. The Emperor reached down to pick it up and took a moment to see the true value of the hat before tricking Buggy into giving it back.

It wasn't the time to have the hat back on his head.

'One Piece exists!' Good old Edward Newgate. Shanks fixed a grim look on his face, but inside was saluting the giant man. Between them, Whitebeard and Shanks had supported Luffy as best as they could during this fight.

A long time ago, Shanks had made a bet and lost an arm, but what he had won was a new dream.

He was certain that his old captain would be proud of him.

7. The First Time

Sanji had never seen Zeff so angry before.

Sure, Sanji knew the guy had only two modes, angry and furious, but this went beyond that. Zeff was seething, waves of anger emanating off him and his peg leg, so much so that even Sanji could feel it from where he was held in a death grip. He was sure that his arm was broken, and it hurt so much that tears fell unchecked from his eyes. But he had forgotten about it in the face of Zeff's unbridled fury.

"You let go of him." Zeff warned.

It was the first time that Zeff had fought pirates for the child he rescued, the first time that Zeff had looked after the blond eggplant all night and the first time Sanji had peeled potatoes with a broken arm. The shitty slave-driver.

48. Out of the Blue

The sea was a beautiful sapphire blue around the ship. Tony raised his camera, but didn't click the shutter. It was just the sea. Things had become boring now that the green haired swordsman he had met was gone. The boy was very glad that he had managed to take pictures that made the man so happy – maybe Zoro had gone back to her and they where living happily ever after. The idea had him smiling.

A rushing noise filled his ears and he looked up. Surprise and wonder filled his eyes as out of the blue sea; a monster flung itself into the sky. It was oddly cow-like, green and white with a large gold bull ring in his button nose. Fins stretched out the strange creature and some weird tail that mimicked a mermaid's. The young lad had just enough time to angle the camera and take a quick photo before it dived back into the blue.

"What was that?!" He cried, the horned creature still vivid in his mind.

His captain pulled her tattered hat straight on her head. "Mohmoo." She grunted, more interested in the treasure haul they had found.

21. Creative Visualization

Usopp turned his weapon slowly in his hands. Kabuto would be the perfect weapon for him. He imagined fighting with the weapon, his ammo hitting the enemy right in the face and the effect that this would have to him. His mind went through many situations, what if he ducked? What if he was a she?

The sniper paused. Did that matter?

The long nosed man paused, then went up to deck to join his crew. Of course all these imaginary situations where safely inside his head. But his mental training was all to become a strong warrior of the sea in real life. And he would do it.


So this skips around the timeframe a bit. I'll comment on these… baby-shots in the order they're written.

Bullshit: Zoro. I'm not too sure that this one fits the theme, but hey, I can see it happening.

Feathers: Pell. I've always wondered how Vivi and co. would react to seeing the eagle still alive. Might write it up later.

Flying: Vivi and Kohza: I have a soft spot for this pairing, this was surprisingly tricky to write, but I like how it turned out. It's a bit of a follow up on Feathers, but can be read separately.

Stars: Coby and Helmeppo: I do love Coby! Wanted to write about him for ages, but it never came out right. Garp is so mean to these too!

Criminal: Smoker. Yeah…I don't like this one. But the idea of Smoker haunted by his own musings amuses me. I think something big is going to happen about Smoker, and I can't wait for it! Though one piece would surely end soon after, then what would we do?

Night Light: Robin and Chopper. I honestly have nothing to say to this. It feels right to me.

Dancing: Brook. Easily my favorite one of these, the Yohohoho probably wasn't needed… But it happened.

Dreams: Shanks: Hmm. Asked a friend for a random character and she came up with Shanks. I really do think that this guy has an ulterior motive for everything he did. I think he's evil. There must be a reason why he was looking for the gum-gum fruit in particular and why Shanks hasn't become the pirate king – why nobody has become the pirate king yet. I think something about Luffy's fruit is key.

But then again. I could be completely wrong, only Oda knows.

This one was by far the hardest one to write out of all of these because of the theory above and I don't really like it, but it's written now.

The First Time: Zeff and Sanji. Second favorite one. I love the tough love Zeff has and think it is no way out of character that he forces Sanji to peel potatoes with a broken arm...hehe

Out of the blue: Tony(OC) and Mohmoo. Mohmoo gets his own showing! I love Mohmoo! Tony and his crew return for this, but I thought it was nice ^^'

Creative Visualization: Usopp. I had to look up the proper meaning of this prompt and it was on about how to trick your mind so that you perform better. Usopp seemed to be the perfect one for this theme, but…I don't like how it came out.

So I hoped you liked these little ones! I enjoyed doing them so there will be more later, but before this chapter grows widely out of control, I'll leave it as it is for now.

Please tell me your favorite one! If you liked any that is ;)
