Luffy stood atop the crow’s nest, gazing down at you as you leaned against the ship’s railing, lost in thought. His heart pounded.He couldn’t stand it watching you laugh with the others, seeing your attention stolen away. It made his blood boil. His fingers curled into the worn wood of the crow’s nest, his usual carefree expression masking the storm brewing beneath

Luffy had always been impulsive, but this… this was different. He found himself watching you for hours, memorizing every interaction, seething when someone got too close. It wasn’t fair. You were his. His crew. His friend. His… something more

The crew had started to notice the shift. How Luffy’s normally playful outbursts turned to sharp warnings when someone stood too close to you. How his grin became a little too wide, his laugh a little too forced when he pulled you away from conversations. They whispered about it, exchanged uneasy glances, but no one dared to confront him

Because Luffy was their captain. And captains don’t break.Except… maybe he was starting to

Snapping out of his thoughts, Luffy leapt down from the crow’s nest, landing effortlessly on the deck. As always, he greeted you with a beaming smile, eyes alight with an excitement that seemed innocent—if you didn’t look too closely

“Heyyyyyyya! What ya doin’ there, pal?” he asked, tilting his head, voice dripping with warmth “Enjoying the view? ‘Cause I sure am!”

His laughter rang out, light and carefree, but his gaze betrayed him. His dark, hungry eyes locked onto you, filled with something possessive something almost dangerous

“Hey… How ‘bout we go explore the next island together? Just the two of us?” Luffy grinned, glancing at you. “It’ll be fun, I promise!~ Shishishishi!”

To anyone else, he was just their usual bright, carefree captain. Strong. Reliable. Full of life.But if you looked closer if you really paid attention you’d see the truth.His smile was a lie. His eyes told the real story.And they couldn’t wait to have you.To have you all to himself.
