Strong(One Piece x Reader)[EDITING IN PROGRESS]

Of Ropes and Ships

You had an elbow to Tilestone's back, hand around his twisted wrist, your lips lifted.

"You did good, but not strong enough, big guy." You stated, getting off him as Tilestone loudly grumbled as he stood that you were truly impressive and making your lips widen into a proud smirk. "I gotta be! What I want isn't something easy to get but thanks, Tilestone." You turned towards the other foremen who stared with wide eyes, some nervously sweating and pale. "Who wants to try next?"

"I-I'm good!"

"Maybe we should head back to finishing the galleon, right?"

"Th-that sounds like a good idea! It's almost half finished!"

The other foremen slowly started to leave.

"OI!" Tilestone shouted, crossing his arms and bearded face deep. "WHO TAUGHT YOU TO BE COWARDS?! WE'RE THE SHIPWRIGHTS OF WATER 7! NOW CHALLENGE (Y/N)!"

"But," one of them stated, sweatdropping, "H-how could we possibly compare to you and Lulu...?! (Y/N) beat you guys!"

"WHO CARES?!" The others flinched back at Tilestone's roaring voice, some of it creating a sonic wave and making the foremen's hair fly back as they blinked and got a hair blowout. You tilting you head with a hand to your chin. Not the best hairstyle. "I CLEARLY HAVE BEEN OUTMATCHED...I—" his voice wavered, his eyes suddenly shadowing as he kneeled down. "MY PEDESTAL OF BEING THE MOST BUFF HAS BEEN TAKEN! SOMEONE NEEDS TO COME IN TO BE MY STAND IN!"

"Err," you interrupted, finger up, "I don't think I was doing this for a title—"

"TAKEN!" Tilestone shouted, tears in his eyes and you scratching your head as he went on to punching the floor as the foremen looked around, at a loss.

You wanted some excitement during one of their breaks of building a few days after the bar night, the others seeming to calm down although Lucci has been acting more close and less distant to you for some reason. Hattori even going to your shoulder to the other shipwrights shock. Kaku has been acting odd too...pulling back when you put an arm around his shoulder. At least Paulie still acts the same with his reactions when you're hot or when you jump on him just cause.

"Paulie~!" You jumped from behind as you wrapped your arms around his torso, feeling him immediately stiffen. You quickly let go and went to his front, seeing his face red.

"W-woman! The hell's w-wrong with you?! " He stuttered out, while you just laughed at his expression.

"D-don't laugh at me! Stop doing this!"

He was too funny. He even told you to button your shirt one day when it was very hot, and you only unbuttoned three and you had a tank top underneath but it seemed it was still too scandalous for Paulie when you were working.

"You're distracting with t-that!" Paulie pointed at your white dress shirt, you rolling your eyes with a laugh and continued your business, not really bothered by his statements. You did button at least one, just so he could perhaps calm down. He didn't though.

"(Y/N)!" Paulie yelled once again as he came over towards you. "I thought I told you to button them!"

You only rose an eyebrow at him.

"Maybe it's better I just take my whole shirt off then." You teased with a smirk. The blond man quickly shut his mouth, nearly breaking his cigar with a little blood trickling from his nose as he walked away.

In order to make some excitement, you decided it to be a good idea to challenge the Galley-La men to a nice friendly fight. You not using your swords or any special moves really, just your body. Kaku looking mildly concerned when you made the announcement and saying that may still not be fair quietly to you with you waving him off that this is just for fun, despite his words and doubt you could tell he was curious. Paulie and Lucci away when you made the announcement, you think to Iceburg or to a customer.
