Katakuri x Luffy one shot

Katakuri x luffy

Luffy happily chatted to the man next to him, swinging his legs. He’d been ordered by Nami to wait there as she and the rest of the crew gathered supplies to prepare for another long haul over the turbulent seas of the Grand Line. He’d only been sitting there for a couple of minutes (plenty of time to become bored) when the man, who called himself Roy, sat down and struck up a conversation.

Roy ordered a drink for him and Luffy both and apart from mild protesting Luffy didn’t put up too much of a fight. Nami would be so happy he’d gotten someone else to buy something for him!

There was a weird tingle at the back of his head, but he scratched it away and happily accepted his glass from the other man. It was then, as he was just about to pick up his drink to take a sip, that a large shadow enveloped his form. Luffy blinked, before turning around to see who was standing behind him.

A scarred face, partially hidden behind a ragged scarf stared back. Next to him, Roy went as white as a sheet.

“Ah, you’re…!” Luffy leapt out of his chair and immediately got into a fighting position, every sense trained on the man in front of him. Then, he paused.

“Wait, what’s your name again?” He asked, tilting his head.

“Charlotte Katakuri,” was the reply. Luffy quickly nodded.

“Right, the mochi dude! Why’re you here, to pick a fight!?”

Katakuri said nothing, merely appraising his appearance with a blank expression, then turned a far deadlier look at Roy.

“Straw Hat,” Katakuri began, eyes still trained on the now shaking man. “I wasn’t expecting you on this island.”

Luffy narrowed his eyes, not liking how Katakuri was staring at his new friend and also indignant over the other man’s words.

“So what?” he said aggressively. “Am I not allowed here? You can’t stop me.”

Katakuri seemed unimpressed.

“A highly debatable statement, considering our last fight. But I’m not here for that. If you have any value for your life you’d stop your current actions,” he suddenly added with a sharp look towards the bartender, and he choked in fear. Satisfied, Katakuri turned his attention back onto Luffy.

“So you wanna fight, mochi dude?” Luffy raised his arms higher, more defensively.

“The angry kitten look isn’t intimidating anyone, Straw Hat. I’m here on Emperor business, it doesn’t concern you.”

“If it doesn’t concern me,” Luffy shot back, disregarding the weird cat comment, “then why are you here?”

“Because I couldn’t help but to be curious as to why you’d be spending your time here specifically, in the company of such…” a pause. “People.”

Roy flinched. Luffy frowned, the tingle at the back of his head making itself known to him again, but Katakuri continued speaking before he could properly focus on it.

“Besides, someone like you, I thought you’d perhaps be more interested in an all-you-can-eat buffet.”

Luffy had to quickly catch himself before he started to drool.

An all-you-can-eat-buffet…!

No, this was probably just a trap! An Emperor’s Commander, he couldn’t let his guard down for a single second!

"I can’t just leave here,” Luffy protested, “not even for a buffet! I promised my friends I’d wait for them right here!”

“It’s a small island,” was the response. “I’m sure they’ll figure out where to find you in the end.” He took in Luffy’s stubborn demeanour and added, “But feel free to leave a message with the bartender. I’m sure he’d be delighted to pass it along.”
