#1 Roronoa Zoro :)
*Contains issues related...
A beautiful girl with beauty that extended beyond her physical appearance, her sparkling eyes turned towards the green-haired swordsman who had been staring at her for a while. He coughed to mitigate the awkwardness and looked away, resting his chin on his hand.
"Were you staring at me?"
"...No."
"Come on."
Smiling radiantly, she approached him, holding onto his arm that proudly showcased the strength of the owner with one look. Zoro glanced over at her, his face blushing a little. He has been catching himself just admiring her beauty and energetic-self, still in disbelief that she was his wife. Zoro smirked a little, trying to hide his liking towards her and grabbed her two arms instead.
"Who is teasing who?"
"Huh?"
The only way he knew to express emotions was his strength— by suppressing his embarrassment through clenching his hands, he made her nervous instead, her eyes looking away from him.
"I.... Don't know."
"Good. Only I can tease you like that. You can't do the same. And any other guys, too!"
Seeing Zoro's jealous side made her look back at him again, as she let go of his hands forcefully and leaped onto his upper body, hugging him as tightly as she could to express her adoration. Zoro was sitting cross-legged, and he fell backwards onto the soft blanket they laid out. Gasping, she cupped the back of his head, asking if he was alright. Instead of giving a verbal reply, he pulled her closer for a kiss instead.

"Usopp. I'm bored. Fight me!"
Luffy was pulling onto Usopp's arm, begging for an excuse to destroy something. Usopp chased him away as if he was swatting a fly, and the straw hat boy pouted, taking a seat at the Sunny's figurehead. That was when his eyes widened, and he began fumbling about, almost falling into the sea. Zoro and Nami came out to see what the commotion was about, and dragged Usopp along to use his goggles.
"Guys...."
"What's going on?"
"I see a huge ship! A pirate's ship!"
At Luffy's declaration, Usopp zoomed into the said ship, and realised it was a ship that could not be seen on a normal day, and gasped loudly, earning everyone's attention.
Feeling impatient, Zoro almost ripped the goggles out of Usopp's head, but Usopp dodged it in time and declared to everyone: "That's Shank's ship!"
Luffy was speechless initially, but began jumping about, too excited at meeting his favourite pirate since he was a child. He ran over to grab her, who was helping Robin with her flowers. With everyone gathered together, they sped towards the red-haired pirate's ship.
"Your dad is onboard that ship!"
"My dad?!"
Feeling overwhelmed, she gulped down her saliva, grabbing onto Zoro's hand for comfort. He wrapped an arm around her, squeezing it to remind her of his presence. Luffy was still jumping up and down, observing that their ship was coming towards them as well.
It was only a matter of minutes that the two ships were close enough where the passengers could talk to each other, and Luffy excitedly shouted over at them.
"Shanks! Shanks! Shanks!"
"Luffy!"
Shanks replied with a hearty laughter, waving his hand at the rubber boy. Luffy gestured for him to come onto their ship, and Shanks commanded both of the crews to dock their ships at a nearby island. As if drawn by his charisma, Nami immediately began ordering The Strawhats accordingly.
The two crews were soon all on land, and familiar faces began saying their greetings, including Yasopp who was busy shooting dried leaves at Usopp.
"Luffy!"
Staring lovingly at the boy who had grown enough to fit the straw hat perfectly, Shanks gave his head a rough pat. Luffy giggled like a child, before he ran back to grab her, and returned to where Shanks was. Shank's grin dropped for a second, before feeling his eyes tear up.
"You... You... You are my daughter."
"Dad..."
He stepped forward to give her a hug, and apologised in between tears for not having another arm to complete it. She shook her head in his chest, mumbling about how it felt perfectly warm and secure. Zoro watched from the side, his lips curled up slightly at the heartwarming reunion.
"I remember everything now. This means your curse must be undone, right?"
"Yes! All thanks to..."
"Your husband Zoro, right? I saw it on the newspapers."
Upon hearing his name being called out, Zoro ran over to them, greeting Shanks with a bow. Shanks gave another loud laughter, taking a good look at the well-built man in front of him.
"So you're the one that's stolen my daughter's heart? Hahaha!"
"....I'll protect her with my life."
"Loosen up, kid. I know you're a good man. To be Luffy's crew mate says it all. And your eyes are filled with determination. I like that."
"Thank you, sir... I mean, Shanks. I'll never lose that."
Shanks took another loving look at his daughter, and gave her a pet on the head. She smiled to her fullest, wrapping her arms around him and looking up adoringly.
"Dad, where is mom?"
"Oh, she is still in the village we had you at. She didn't want to come along... But I know she is safe for sure, I have my ways of knowing."
