Mistake

Chasing Laughter

The Straw Hats were gathered around the dining table, chatting and enjoying the atmosphere, but there were two notable absences: Luffy and Law.

"Where are they?" someone asked, curiosity piqued.

"I was just saying that I accept your offer," Law said, not meeting Luffy's eyes. Luffy, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to ear, eyes sparkling with excitement.

As the moonlight bathed the deck outside, Law could feel Luffy's gaze lingering on him. The moon cast a soft glow on Law's face, making the usually stoic man look almost ethereal. Before he could register what was happening, Luffy leaped at him, causing them both to tumble to the floor.

With surprising speed, Luffy pressed his lips against Law's, catching him off guard. Law gasped, momentarily stunned by the unexpected kiss. The next thing he knew, he was staring up at the deck, feeling overwhelmed, as Luffy was already sitting on the bed, kissing a pillow in pure delight.

Law took a deep breath, slowly sitting up and standing to his feet. He shook his head, a small smirk tugging at his lips as he made his way to the dining area, trying to collect himself. But before he could reach the door, he heard Luffy shout from behind him.

"Tarao!"

Law ignored him, walking into the room and taking his seat at the table. Luffy followed shortly after, still grinning widely.

As soon as Luffy entered, he couldn't contain his excitement. He jumped into the middle of the room, beaming at everyone.

"Tarao has joined our crew! Let's have a party!" Luffy shouted, his enthusiasm filling the room.

The crew erupted into cheers. Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and the rest quickly joined in, celebrating the newest addition to their ever-growing family.

"Welcome aboard, Tarao!" Nami called out, raising a glass.

And with that, the crew of the Thousand Sunny began another night of laughter, music, and friendship, the bond between them all growing stronger with each passing moment.

Midnight had crept upon the Thousand Sunny, the soft hum of the ship barely interrupting the peaceful night. The crew had long since fallen asleep, exhausted from their adventures, but Sanji remained awake. The quiet of the night was soothing, and he found himself wandering through the quiet ship, his heart content but restless.

As he gently closed the kitchen door behind him, he rested one hand on his now 8-month pregnant belly. His other hand swung loosely by his side, fingers brushing lightly against the walls as he walked down the hallway. The ship was quiet at this hour, save for the soft creaking of the wooden floorboards beneath his feet. He could feel the soft night breeze flowing through the open windows, the cool air kissing his skin and lifting the strands of his long, golden hair.

The moonlight spilled through the windows, casting a silvery glow across the deck as Sanji made his way down the hallway. His golden hair swayed gently with the wind, and he smiled softly, the warmth of the moment wrapping around him like a familiar embrace. He was content, and his heart was filled with love for the life he was carrying, for the people around him, and for the man waiting for him behind their door.

As he approached the room, he found the door slightly ajar, and standing just beside the doorframe was Zoro. His broad frame leaned casually against the wood, arms folded, a serene smile on his face. He looked relaxed, his chest bare and his trousers hanging low on his hips, just enough to reveal the strength in his body, but with a relaxed ease that only Zoro could manage. The faint moonlight from the windows reflected off his green hair and his muscular form, giving him an almost otherworldly glow.
