As Tenshinhan's ship, now docked at Water 7, made its way into the bustling harbor, the crew members marveled at the sights and sounds of the vibrant maritime city. Towering shipyards, glistening canals, and a labyrinth of bridges greeted them as they disembarked onto the bustling docks.
Nami, with her keen navigational skills, had found them a prime docking location, ensuring that their ship would be secure during their stay. The crew members disembarked one by one, eager to explore the city's wonders.
Tashigi, always vigilant, kept a watchful eye on their surroundings as they made their way through the harbor. She was determined to ensure their safety, especially in a city known for its complex politics and rival shipwright factions.
Viola, with her observation haki, could sense the ebb and flow of emotions among the city's inhabitants. She noted the undercurrents of tension and intrigue, hinting at the complexities of life in Water 7.
Baby 5, adaptable as ever, had already transformed into a map of the city, her body serving as a guide for the crew. She led them through the winding streets to a quaint inn where they could rest and plan their next moves.
Robin, always in pursuit of knowledge, couldn't help but be drawn to the city's architecture and history. She made mental notes of potential sources of information and hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Vivi, though new to the crew, had a natural curiosity about the world and eagerly absorbed the sights and sounds of Water 7. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her presence added a sense of wonder to their exploration.
Tenshinhan, as the captain, had a sense that their stay in Water 7 would be longer than expected. He was prepared for the challenges and adventures that lay ahead, knowing that the city held both opportunities and perils.
As they settled into their chosen inn, the crew members gathered in a cozy common room. It was time to discuss their plans and gather information about Water 7's shipwrights, the enigmatic Cipher Pol organization, and the potential mysteries hidden within the city's depths.
Little did they know that their stay in Water 7 would be marked by unexpected alliances, perilous encounters, and revelations that would reshape their journey on the Grand Line. The adventures in this maritime city were about to unfold, and the crew of Tenshinhan was ready to face them head-on.
As the night settled over Water 7, Tashigi and Tenshinhan embarked on their friendly date, exploring the city's illuminated streets and enjoying the ambiance of the bustling canals. The soft glow of lanterns reflected in the water, creating a romantic atmosphere that Tashigi couldn't help but appreciate.
They strolled along the canals, engaging in light conversation about their adventures and the mysteries they had encountered on the Grand Line. Tashigi's heart raced, and she stole glances at Tenshinhan, wondering if tonight might be the night to finally express her feelings.
However, as the evening wore on, Tashigi found herself struggling to find the courage to make a move. She was usually so confident in battle, but matters of the heart were a different kind of challenge. Instead, she settled into the comfortable rhythm of their conversation, enjoying the company of her captain.
Meanwhile, back at the inn, Nami, Viola, Baby 5, and Vivi found themselves in a lively discussion. The topic at hand was the peculiar habit of Tashigi and Vivi using Tenshinhan as a body pillow during their nights aboard the ship. They shared stories of how it had led to more restful sleep and fewer nightmares.
Nami, with a mischievous grin, chimed in, "You know, it might not be a bad idea for all of us to take turns as 'body pillows.' It seems like Tenshinhan has a knack for providing comfort."
Viola nodded in agreement, her expression thoughtful. "Indeed, it's a testament to his calming presence. Plus, it would give Tashigi and Vivi a break from their 'pillow duties.'"
Baby 5, always adaptable, added, "I wouldn't mind trying it out. Variety is the spice of life, after all."
Vivi, blushing slightly, considered the idea. "Well, if it helps with a good night's sleep, I'm all for it."
With their decision made, the crew members agreed to take turns sharing Tenshinhan's company as a body pillow. They believed it would not only provide better rest but also strengthen the bonds among them.
As Tashigi and Tenshinhan returned from their date, their faces flushed from the chilly evening air, they were met with warm smiles from their crewmates. Little did they know that this simple decision would lead to more peaceful nights and moments of camaraderie on their journey through the Grand Line.
As the crew discussed the idea of sharing the role of "body pillow" with Tenshinhan, they ultimately decided to let Tashigi, as the first mate, keep her special spot. It was a gesture of respect for her position and her bond with their captain.
The decision was met with a round of agreement, and Tashigi couldn't help but smile, feeling the support of her crewmates. She appreciated their understanding and knew that her connection with Tenshinhan was unique.
Later that night, as the crew settled into their respective sleeping arrangements, Tashigi found herself lying next to Tenshinhan. The moonlight streamed through the window, casting a gentle glow over the room.
In that quiet moment, Tenshinhan turned to Tashigi, his three eyes reflecting the soft light. "You know, Tashigi, you've been an incredible first mate. Your dedication and determination have been a pillar of strength for our crew."
Tashigi's heart skipped a beat, and she met Tenshinhan's gaze with gratitude. "Thank you, Ten. Your leadership has inspired all of us, and I'm honored to serve as your first mate."
Tenshinhan reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from Tashigi's face. "You're not just my first mate; you're also a dear friend. We've been through so much together, and I want you to know that I value your presence on this journey."
Tashigi felt her cheeks warm, and a sense of contentment washed over her. Their relationship was built on trust, camaraderie, and shared goals. In that moment, as they lay side by side, she felt a deep sense of connection with Tenshinhan.
With a soft smile, Tenshinhan closed his eyes, and Tashigi followed suit, knowing that they were ready to face whatever adventures awaited them in the unpredictable world of the Grand Line. Their bond, forged through battles and shared dreams, was unbreakable, and it gave Tashigi the confidence to pursue her feelings with patience and determination.
The next morning, as the sun's rays gently streamed into the room, Tenshinhan began to stir from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes, expecting to find himself wrapped in his usual position with Tashigi using him as a body pillow on his left side.
To his surprise, however, he found himself in a rather cozy and unusual situation. He was now nestled between both Tashigi and Nami, who were using him as a shared body pillow. Tenshinhan blinked in momentary confusion, trying to make sense of the situation.
Tashigi, still in a peaceful slumber, had her arm draped over Tenshinhan's chest, her head resting comfortably on his shoulder. On his other side, Nami had nestled close, her arm wrapped around his waist, her face nuzzled against his back.
Tenshinhan couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself, realizing that his crewmates had decided to share the "body pillow" duty without his prior knowledge. He shifted slightly, trying not to disturb either Tashigi or Nami as they continued to enjoy their morning rest.
The gentle rise and fall of their breathing, the warmth of their presence, and the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains created a serene and comforting atmosphere. Tenshinhan couldn't deny that it was a rather pleasant way to wake up.
With a contented sigh, he closed his eyes once more, silently appreciating the camaraderie and the unspoken bond he shared with his crew. The adventures in the Grand Line were unpredictable, but moments like these, where the crew felt like a family, were what made their journey truly special.
As he lay there, Tenshinhan decided that perhaps, every now and then, he could embrace the unexpected arrangements of his crewmates. After all, in the ever-changing world of the Grand Line, there was no shortage of surprises, and it was all part of the extraordinary adventure they had embarked upon together.
A/N- short chapter, I been thinking if it would be okay, dear readers if I make a oc for the role of shipwright as there aren't any female shipwrights in One Piece lore as far as I know. Also enjoy the skit

**Sanji:** (His brow furrowing as he watches Tashigi from afar) I can't believe it! How could she go on a date with that bastard, Tenshinhan?!
**Tashigi:** (Defensive) It was just a friendly outing, Sanji! Besides, Captain Tenshinhan is a great guy.
**Sanji:** (Pouting) Well, that doesn't mean I have to like it. (Crosses arms) And what about Nami? She's been using Tenshinhan as a body pillow too!
**Tashigi:** (Raises an eyebrow) Sanji, it's not like that. We just had a little chat about it, and it helps us sleep better, that's all.
**Sanji:** (Mumbling to himself) Tenshinhan... I'm supposed to be my body pillow for Nami or Tashigi.
**Nami:** (Smirking) Tashigi, I must say, sharing Tenshinhan as a body pillow is a brilliant idea. We've been sleeping like babies!
**Tashigi:** (Nods) Yeah, it's been surprisingly comfortable.
**Nami:** (Teasing) I guess Sanji won't have to fight you for his precious captain anymore, huh?
**Tashigi:** (Blushing slightly) Nami, it's not like that!
**Nami:** (Winks) Sure, sure. But you know, he did take you on that date...
**Tashigi:** (Defensive) It was just a friendly outing!
**Nami:** (Chuckles) Whatever you say, Tashigi. But I have to admit, he's quite the catch.
**Tashigi:** (Blushing deeper) Nami!
