Title: Devil Fruit
Unit for Points: Tackey & Tsubasa
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: Iwamoto Hikaru
A/N: More about Devil Fruits here
Just like his crew mates, Iwamoto possessed superior agility and physical abilities but on top of that, he had acquired a Devil’s Fruit power - albeit by mistake.
His opponent stared wide-eyed, when Iwamoto blocked the sword strike with his bare hands and broke the sword in the process.
The ability only really came in handy during fights, that his body could be harder than diamond even. Although it also helped during his clumsier times when he bumped into things or fell over.
“Really sorry for that…Try again next time…” Iwamoto aimed a kick at the pirate and sent him flying.

A/N: Nabesho has dirty thoughts. Original quote by shisaigas ♥ This one's all yours XD
“So you have a Devil Fruit ability?” Watanabe looked at Iwamoto during one of the nights when the other had come along - Sakuma was not yet there. “What is it?” he asked curiously, eager to learn about the people living on land. And well, you didn’t really encounter Devil Fruit users under water a lot, did you?
Miyadate replied for his friend instead, “Gan-chan’s body can turn harder than diamond, which is the hardest substance known to people so far.”
Watanabe blinked, “…isn’t that kind of inconvenient? Except…” he grinned, “In certain situations.”
“Huh?”
“Well, you’re ALWAYS HARD!” Watanabe sporfled.
Title: Sleep

Characters/Pairings: Kitayama Hiromitsu
A/N: And it's not Kitayama sleeping for once.
Kitayama let the wind brush through his hair gently and took a deep breath before closing his eyes to listen to the noise around him. The waves were crashing against the ship, the wind was hitting the sails and the wood of the ship was creaking a bit here and there. Nothing out of the ordinary. A good thing. His crew deserved a well earned rest tonight.
They had fought a lot lately. Marines, rival pirate groups…even villagers affiliated with the marines or other groups at times. The fighting would continue tomorrow.
And until then, he would let them sleep.
Title: Yearning
Unit for Points: Tackey & Tsubasa
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: Hashimoto Ryosuke, Totsuka Shota
Sometimes Hashimoto remembered the sea. He remembered the soft embrace of the waters, the world hidden from most of the humans. It was in the past now. The sea would reject him now if he tried to return for too long. He was no longer one of her children.
Shivering, Hashimoto crawled back onto the deck of the ship. A soft towel was wrapped around him almost immediately.
Totsuka’s smile was warm and gentle, “You’ll catch a cold...”
“You could warm me up again?” he asked hopefully.
He had found someone else to embrace him, someone else to call “home”.

Characters/Pairings: See cuts
A/N: A few 'darker' drabbles.
Kawai worked shirtless on board of the ship most of the time, even when the sun was scorching and the rest of his crewmates had either hidden in the shade or at least put on a hat and clothes. He didn’t burn easily. Before Takizawa had found him, he had been a slave, probably being worked to. Nobody cared back then whether he was being burned by the sun or not.
“Fumito…” a cold, wet cloth was slapped onto his head unceremoniously. Goseki was looking at him. “Go and get some rest. This is the present. You’re irreplaceable here now.”
~*~
“I’m not too good with swords. I’ll have a gun or take care of the canons?” Kunta offered with a sheepish smile when weapons were being handed out on the Miracle J. Most people had shrugged him off and complied with his wish. Everyone knew that Kunta was a bit ‘special’ anyways.
When people left, Kunta’s smile vanished from his face and his eyes were hidden by the bangs falling into his face. Kunta hated touching swords. Every time he did, the images would appear in his mind again, along with that dreadful color - the color of many dead bodies.
~*~
Despite Yamamoto’s ability to transform into a snake and spit poison, Bunichi made short work of him and soon slammed the other down onto the ground of the make-shift ring on the Chura. Yara called the fight off and Bunichi rose from his crouch again, walking over to where Senga had a towel and some water ready for him.
His features had not changed at any point during the fight, his emotions never wavered. It had been part of his ‘childhood training’.
It had taken Ito years to break through to him and make him smile, laugh and feel again.
Title: Fresh Eyes

Characters/Pairings: Senga Kento, Nikaido Takashi
A/N: ...because I realized that Nika and Senga hadn't appeared in any drabbles yet D:
Senga shuffled his feet nervously. He didn’t know how to act. What would they think of him? Would they think of him as some freak of nature? Someone who did not deserve being called ‘human’? Would they be disgusted? Afraid?
“Hey, you.”
“Huh?” he looked up.
“Let’s share a room. You look nice,” the other male stated.
Senga stared. “You…you’re not afraid of me?”
The other stared at him and burst into a fit of laughter. “Good one! So funny! I like you already!” Wiping his tears of mirth, the male introduced himself, “The name’s Nikaido Takashi. Let’s get along.”

A/N: Impossible is nothing. At least according to Nikaido. Rokushiki and Haki
“The top marine soldiers are trained in what is called ‘Rokushiki’, the six styles…very powerful combat techniques. I can teach them to you in case you ever have to fight without your skates. It would be too much of a strain on your bodies to do it with them on,” Takizawa offered. “It will help those of you who have a weaker ‘Haki’ than for example Fujigaya and Kitayama.”
Nikaido huffed, “We’ll never know until we try.”
“But Nika-chan,” Senga bit his lip.
“No, Senga. I won’t acknowledge any limits until I’ve seen them with my own eyes,” Nikaido stated.

A/N: Dials
All of the Roller Pirates were capable combatants on their skates, able to use a variety of fighting moves while on them. They had all personalized their styles and their weapons to go along.
After months of intensive training - and countless nights spent in pain - Nikaido unveiled his progress for the first time. The destructive force of his ‘rankyaku’ kick on skates was a lot larger than what their dial-powered skates alone had been able to do.
“Guess Nikaido’s bounty just went up …” Kitayama commented.
Nikaido grinned proudly, “Senga’s going to follow suit soon enough. We’ve been practicing together.”

“How was it?” Nikaido asked.
“Nh?” Senga tilted his head in question.
“Training with Yara…on the Chura…” Nikaido elaborated. “You always admired his style, didn’t you? So what was it like? To see it up close and to be taught by him?”
Senga’s face lit up happily, “Awesome! I can’t believe he can move like that…! And then Yamamoto! And Tsuka-chan! And Bun-chan! I’ve learned so much! I can hardly wait to show you all!”
Nikaido hummed softly and looked out over the open sea again. “Did you miss me?”
Wrapping his arms around Nikaido, Senga nodded, “’course I did.”

A/N: Just read and see for yourself. ;)
“Woah! Hasshi! You have legs! You’ve become a land-walker!” Watanabe stared at his friend from the rock he was sitting on, tail still half-submerged. Sakuma wasn’t too far away from the two as well, smiling and waving at Hasshi with a smile.
“Yep, I have. It’s been a while, too,” Hashimoto grinned. “It’s a lot of fun! The crew I’m with is really nice to me! And there’s Tottsu, too!”
Watanabe looked excited and asked, “Tell us everything, Hasshi!! I want details!”
A few of Hashimoto’s stories later, Sakuma wasn’t so sure whether he really wanted to hear ‘everything’ anymore.

A/N: Oversized Take 2.
The wave created by something surfacing next to the Inazuma Venus almost knocked her over. While most of APC were clinging to something (especially Tsukada, who was Devil Fruit user) and stared at whatever had just appeared, Hashimoto bounced out onto the deck with a squeal of delight.
“You found me! I’m so proud of you!” Hashimoto grinned like an idiot.
Totsuka’s eyebrow twitched a bit, “Ryosuke…what IS that…?”
Turning back around to look at his crew, Hashimoto smiled proudly and introduced, “Meet Balcan, my little pet whale!”
The animal was probably 5 times as large as their ship was.

Characters/Pairings: Muro Brothers
A/N: Not silly, not happy. :X Tatsuki reflects.
Sometimes Tatsuki thought that his mother was the most annoying woman in the world but on other days, he could not begin to put into words how much he adored her.
She’d singlehandedly raised them only to set them free into a world full of dangers, without any guarantee of seeing them ever again.
Tatsuki saw it as his duty, as the oldest one, to watch over his two younger brothers. Ryuta hated it, or at least said so. But he still crawled into Tatsuki’s embrace after reliving the memory of having killed for the first time in his dreams.

A/N: shisaigas wanted something about Hama-chan's arms. triela_gg agreed. Again, surprisingly not crack.
“Hama-chan’s arms are totally awesome, aren’t they, Junta?” Akito asked his partner.
Junta sighed, “Asking ME out of all people aren’t you? But yes…they are nice…And I’m sure Hama-chan has put a lot of training into them for a good reason.”
Grinning, Hamada replied, “Yep. So that I can hold Daichi and neeeeever let go of him again.”
Akito snorted, “Not like Daichi WOULD ever want to escape from you or anything.”
Hamada smiled, the happy expression betraying his thoughts. No, the other would never willingly want to leave him - or so he believed. But sometimes, willingness wasn’t an option.

A/N: For triela_gg ♥ ^v^
Something inside of Bunichi broke with a resounding CRACK when he spotted Kunta carrying Ito back onto the deck of the BBV after a battle, obviously injured. There was blood all over both of them and Bunichi prayed that it wasn’t just their own.
“Maashi!” he knelt down next other the moment Kunta had set Ito down and Tatsuki had gone to get the emergency treatment box.
Ito smiled at him tiredly, “Hey Bun-chan…’sup?”
“Idiot!” Bunichi snapped at the other, feeling something hot and wet run down his cheek. A tear. How long had it been since he last cried?

“Bun-chan…you should go and rest…your body won’t be able to take it,” Hamada looked at his friend, trying new moves which put huge strains on the other’s body.
Bunichi shook his head, “Not yet. If I can’t do this…I won’t be able to protect him.”
“Maashi is fi-”
“What do you think when you are with Daichi?” Bunichi looked at his friend. “I look at Maashi and I think…it could be the last time. So I love him as if it were. One day, it could very well be. And I don’t want either of us to leave with regrets.”
Forgive
Bunichi ran his fingers over the scar on Ito’s arm. It was still fresh, still healing.
“It’s a whole new sensation isn’t it? By adding new things, it won’t get boring,” Ito smiled.
“…idiot…” Bunichi mumbled and pulled his hand away again, turning his back towards Ito.
Smile softening, Ito wrapped his arms around the other and pulled Bunichi closer against him. “I know I am an idiot. But you still like me.” He nuzzled the back of the other’s neck. “I’m sorry for making you worry like that.”
“…stupid idiot…” Bunichi grumbled.
Ito knew the other had forgiven him.
