If I had a nickel for every time a blonde in anime spontaneously ignited fire around them like a super saiyan, Iâd have two nickels. Which isnât a lot but itâs weird it that it happened twice.

One Month With You
In the final month of your life, you cherishes fleeting moments with your crew, hiding a terminal illness until only memoriesâand a letterâremain.

RED HAIR PIRATES
The sea was calm that morning, the kind of quiet that made even the waves seem to hold their breath. The deck of the Red Force was alive with chatter and light laughter, but you stood by the railing, letting the wind sweep through your hair. Your fingers curled around the wood, your gaze far offânot at the horizon, but somewhere past it.
One month. Thatâs what Hongo told you when he unknowingly confirmed your own suspicions. Youâd been hiding the worsening symptoms for monthsâfatigue that sank deep into your bones, the relentless pain in your chest, the occasional blood youâd spit out into the sea, unnoticed.
You knew heâd figure it out eventually. He was too good not to.
But you hadnât expected him to burst into your quarters the night before, shaking with barely restrained panic.
âWhat the hell is this?!â Hongo had yelled, thrusting a tattered medical report into your hands. âWhy didnât you tell me? Why didnât you say something?!â
You couldnât meet his eyes. âBecause I didnât want to be watched like a ghost who hasnât died yet.â
Silence. Deafening.
â...You have a month, Y/N, maybe less. Youâreââ His voice cracked. âYouâre dying, and you're acting like it's nothing?â
âI have a month, Hongo,â you had said quietly. âPlease⌠just let me have it. Donât tell the others. Let me spend it with them. Please.â
He didn't answer for a long time. When he finally did, it was with a whisper: âYouâre a fucking idiot.â But he pulled you into a hug and didnât let go until your shoulders stopped shaking.
From that day, you lived more fiercely than ever. You laughed at Shanksâ dumb jokes and drank with him until the world blurred. You challenged Benn to silent stargazing contests, betting on how many shooting stars youâd catch. You dragged Limejuice to island carnivals and flirted shamelessly until his face burned red. You played cards with Hongo, even when your hands trembled too much to hold them.
They all noticed. The Red-Haired Pirates werenât stupid.
âYouâre real clingy lately,â Limejuice teased one night, bumping your shoulder with his. âYou sure youâre not sick or something?â
You smiled, heart twisting. âWould you be mad if I said I might be?â
He laughed, oblivious. âNah. Iâd carry you myself if you keeled over.â
You didnât say anything. Just leaned into his warmth.
Shanks was the hardest. He noticed too much. Noticed how often you disappeared below deck when the coughing fits hit, how your eyes stayed on the ocean longer than they should have.
âYou thinking of leaving us?â he asked once, half-joking.
You swallowed the lump in your throat. âNo,â you lied.
Benn just watched. Always watched. He didnât say much, but you could feel his eyes lingering on you, searching. You gave him your brightest smiles.
The day you left, the crew didnât know.
You made breakfast with Chef-level effort, joking with the kitchen staff, slipping kisses to Limejuice's cheek and hugging Shanks tighter than ever. You sat with Benn for hours on the deck, your head on his shoulder, watching the sun creep across the sky.
âI think youâre my favorite,â you whispered, teasing.
He snorted. âDonât let Shanks hear that.â
He didnât know that was the last time heâd feel your heartbeat against his side.
That night, you slipped away. A letter for each of them tucked under your pillow. A note for Hongo too:
"Thank youâfor letting me pretend I wasnât dying. I love you all too much to say goodbye."
Morning broke in chaos.
âWhere the hell is Y/N?!â Limejuice shouted, tearing through the ship.
âTheyâre not in the galley, or the crowâs nest!â Benn called out, panic rising in his usually calm voice.
Shanks was quiet, unusually still, staring at the empty hammock where your scent still lingered.
The notes were found soon after. One by one, hands shaking as they read your last words.
You didnât say goodbye, but each letter bled with love.
âTo Shanks â Thank you for making me feel like I belonged in the stars.â
âTo Benn â You saw through me. Thank you for not saying anything.â
âTo Limejuice â Thank you for reminding me how fun life could be.â
âTo Hongo â Iâm sorry I made you carry this alone. Thank you for letting me be selfish.â
They thought you ran. Were taken. Benn demanded a search party. Shanks was pale, silent, gripping your letter so tight his knuckles bled. Limejuice punched a wall. Hongo said nothingâfor two days.
And then, he snapped.
He threw your medical file onto the table during a heated meeting, eyes wild. âThey didnât leave!....They died. And...I let them.â
The room fell to a breathless silence.
âYou knew?â Benn whispered.
âThey had a month. They begged me to let them spend it with us, like nothing was wrong. And I let them lie.â
Shanks stumbled back, as if struck. âNo. No, they were⌠they were fine.â
âThey were dying, Shanks! They couldnât breathe without pain, they wereââ Hongoâs voice cracked. âThey spent their last strength loving us.â
No one spoke.
Limejuice fell to his knees. âWe didnât even say goodbye.â
Later that night, Shanks sat by the railing where you always stood.
âI hope youâre watching the stars from up close now, Y/N,â he murmured, tears streaking his face. âBecause weâll never stop looking for you in them.â
WHITEBEARD PIRATES
Youâd always imagined dying quietly, maybe on an empty shore, wrapped in salt and wind. But fate had other plans. Your end would come not with isolationâbut surrounded by laughter, drink, and the stubborn, unbearable warmth of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The diagnosis came on a cold, cloudy dayâso ordinary it felt like a betrayal.
You'd passed out during training. Woke up with Marcoâs worried face looming over you. Heâd examined you in complete silence. But his shaking hands and tight jaw told you everything.
âItâs not good, is it?â you asked, voice barely a whisper.
âNo,â Marco had said, the word cracking as it left him. âItâs... terminal. A rare degeneration of the lungs and heart. I donâtâthereâs nothing I can do.â
You didnât cry. Instead, you laughed. âSo, whatâyouâre saying I wonât outlive my goldfish?â
He didn't laugh. He looked like heâd been stabbed. âYou have a month. Maybe.â
You made him promise to keep it secret.
Just him and Whitebeard.
When Oyaji found out, he sat beside your bed and gripped your hand with those massive, shaking fingers. âYou are my child,â he rumbled. âAnd if this is your last voyage⌠then let it be the greatest of your life.â
You had never cried before. But you cried then.
From that day, you threw yourself into every moment.
Ace was all fire and impulse, but when he was around you, something softer flickered beneath the surface. He took to dragging you along for sparring matches, even when you claimed your muscles ached.
âI need a challenge,â heâd smirk, sweat glistening down his neck.
âYou just want to show off,â youâd tease, raising your fists anyway.
He was always careful not to hit you too hard. Not that you said anythingâbut he seemed to know. When you tripped one day, coughing blood into your sleeve when he wasnât looking, heâd jogged over, helping you up without a word. His hand lingered on your arm just a second too long.
That night, you sat beside him, both of you perched on the edge of the ship with your legs dangling into the air.
âYouâre weird lately,â he mumbled, eyes on the moon.
You bumped his shoulder with yours. âJust thinking how lucky I am.â
He blinked at you. âTo be with us?â
âTo be with you,â you said, gently. And he froze, eyes wide, like he didnât know what to do with that.
ââŚYouâre gonna break my heart, arenât you?â he whispered.
You smiled, because you already had.
Izo became your confidant without even knowing it. With every eyeliner flick and matching kimono, you gave yourself permission to feel alive. They would hum as they painted your face, hands warm against your cheeks.
âYouâre glowing,â they said once, adjusting the red ribbon they tied in your hair.
âDeath becomes me, huh?â you joked, and they slapped your arm, scandalized.
âYou joke about dying too much.â
You didnât mean to, but your voice cracked. âItâs easier than pretending Iâm not scared.â
Their fingers paused, lips parting. ââŚAre you scared?â
You looked at them in the mirror, the shimmer of gold powder across your eyelids catching the light. âYeah,â you said. âBut not when Iâm with you.â
They smiled then, a bit sad, and leaned in to kiss your temple. âThen letâs live like hell until we drop, dear.â
Thatch was joy personified. It was impossible to be sad around him for long, and thatâs what made it hurt worse.
He caught you sneaking dessert at 2 a.m. once and acted like youâd committed a crime.
âOh-ho! So this is where my pudding went!â
âYour pudding? I thought it had my name on it.â
âIâll accept bribes in the form of kisses or cleaning dishes.â
You kissed his cheek, and he nearly dropped the bowl.
Every stolen moment in the kitchen became a memoryâdancing while covered in flour, whipped cream fights, drunken baking experiments that ended in fire. Youâd laughed so hard your sides hurt, even as your lungs begged you to stop.
âYouâre making memories,â he said one night, tousling your hair. âThatâs what this is. Youâve been clingy lately. Like youâre trying to make every second count.â
You froze, the spoon halfway to your mouth. ââŚWould you hate me if I was?â
He blinked. âNah. Iâd probably try to hold on tighter.â
You didnât tell him then. Just leaned into his side and let him talk about his dream of opening a cake cafĂŠ after he retires.
You knew youâd never see it.
Marco was the one who saw the cracks, and it destroyed him. You kept him close because you trusted him mostâand that made it hurt more.
You caught him once crying at your door. He didnât think you were awake.
You opened it, silently wrapped your arms around him, and whispered, âIâm still here.â
âYou shouldnât be this calm,â he rasped into your shoulder.
âIâm terrified,â you admitted. âBut Iâd rather spend what time I have being loved than dying slowly in a bed.â
He pulled back, staring at you with reddened eyes. âYou could have told them.â
âTheyâd look at me like I was already dead.â
He said nothing, and you reached up to cup his cheek. âPromise me⌠promise youâll wait. Let me leave on my own terms.â
ââŚOkay,â he whispered. âBut Iâll hate you for it.â
You kissed his forehead. âI hope you do.â
You left them on a quiet morning.
Then you slipped away, leaving only a bundle of letters on Marcoâs desk.
Your final message was simple:
âDonât let them hate me for this. Please. Just let them think I ran.â
The ship erupted into panic by nightfall.
Ace punched through a wall. âTheyâre gone?! What do you mean GONE?â
Izo ran through the corridors, calling your name until their voice broke.
Thatch turned the kitchen inside out like he expected you to be hiding in the cupboards, laughing.
Marco couldnât speak.
He stood at the rail, gripping the wood so hard it splintered beneath his fingers.
Whitebeard stood behind him, silent, his massive shadow cast across the deck like a shroud.
âDo I tell them?â Marco rasped.
âNo,â Whitebeard rumbled. âNot yet. Let them rage. Let them mourn in their own way.â
âButââ
âThey wouldnât understand it now,â he said. âWait.â
A week passed. Then two.
No sign of you.
Your room remained untouched. Your absence echoed louder than any cannon fire.
They scoured islands. Questioned strangers. Considered kidnappers, Marines, even betrayal.
Ace refused to accept it. âThey wouldnât leave us! Not without a word. Not withoutâsomething.â
He went to Marco, desperate. âYou know something. Tell me.â
Marco finally broke.
He gave Ace your letter.
Ace read it once. Then again and again. Then crumpled to the ground, screaming into his fists.
âThey died?! All this timeâthey were dying?!â
Marco stood frozen, guilt crawling like acid beneath his skin.
âThey didnât want you to mourn them before they were gone,â he whispered. âThey wanted to be loved, not pitied.â
Ace couldnât answer. He just sobbed, curled around your crumpled letter like it could still warm him.
That night, Whitebeard gathered his sons and daughters.
He read your letters aloud. One by one. Each one aching with truth, memory, and love.
âTo Ace â You made me feel alive, even when I was already halfway gone.â âTo Izo â Thank you for making me beautiful when I felt invisible.â âTo Thatch â You made every day sweeter, even the ones I didnât think Iâd survive.â âTo Marco â Thank you for holding my secret when it crushed you. I love you most for that.â âTo Oyaji â You gave me a family when I had nothing left. Thank you⌠for letting me die a Whitebeard Pirate.â
By the end, the deck was silent.
No sobs. Just breathless grief.
They didnât throw a funeral.
They held a feast.
Not because they werenât mourningâbut because they knew youâd hate to see them broken.
They told stories. Passed your favorite drink around. Laughed, cried, and danced with ghosts.
And when the fire died down, Ace stared at the embers and whispered, âI hope you found peace, flame-heart.â
STRAWHAT PIRATES
You didnât plan on dying at sea, but the Grand Line has a way of making plans for you. The first signs were subtle: a lingering fatigue you chalked up to busy days, aches you blamed on training, the dull pain in your side that you laughed off when Chopper asked if you were okay.
You knew before he did. Deep down, your body had been whispering the truth long before the words made it onto paper.
It wasnât until you collapsed in the hallway between the kitchen and the infirmary that Chopper realized something was seriously wrong. When you woke up, it was to the sterile smell of the medical bay and his wide, terrified eyes.
âI ran every test,â he said, voice trembling. âAnd then I ran them again. Itâs⌠itâs bad. Really bad.â
You nodded. Your throat was too dry to answer.
âIâI canât fix it. Not with what we have on board. Maybe if we got to a major medical port, but even then, I donât know ifââ
You reached out, resting a hand on his tiny shoulder. âHow long?â
He hesitated, ears flattening. âA month. Maybe.â
You didnât cry. Not then. Not even when he begged to tell the others.
âNo. Please. Let me have this. Just a month, Chopper.â
âTheyâll never forgive me.â
âThey will,â you said. âIf they knew now, itâd ruin everything. I donât want pity. I want memories.â
So you began to live. Fully, recklessly, as if the pain eating away at you was just a shadow at your back.
You started with Sanji. He was the easiest to be around, the one whose affection was loud and constant. Every meal became a moment: you insisted on helping in the kitchen, even when he protested. You chopped vegetables until your hands hurt, stirred sauces while leaning against him, snuck little bites when he wasnât looking.
âYouâre here a lot lately,â he said one afternoon, handing you a bowl of soup.
âI like watching you work,â you replied.
He grinned. âYou trying to steal my heart, love?â
You leaned in and kissed his cheek. âMaybe.â
He went quiet for a beat. Then, more softly, âYou look at me like youâre memorizing my face.â
You didnât answer. Just smiled.
Zoro came next. You sparred with him almost every day now, ignoring the way your lungs burned, the way your legs shook. He didnât say anything the first time you collapsed mid-match, just silently carried you to the infirmary.
âYouâre pushing too hard,â he said.
âI need to,â you whispered.
âWhy?â
You looked at him, really looked. âBecause I donât want to forget what it feels like to fight beside you.â
He frowned. âYouâre acting like youâre running out of time.â
You forced a smile. âArenât we all?â
That night, he found you on the deck, staring at the stars.
He sat beside you, arms crossed. âYouâre not saying something. I donât like it.â
âIâm just tired.â
âIâd carry you, if you asked.â
Your heart ached. âI know.â
Luffy was harder.
He didnât notice at first. You were careful around himâtoo careful. You laughed with him during meals, ran across islands with him, challenged him to stupid games on the deck. But he began to notice the way you lingered during hugs. The way you stared at him too long. The way your smiles didnât quite reach your eyes.
One evening, you lay beside him on the figurehead, watching the horizon.
He turned his head toward you. âAre you gonna leave?â
You blinked. âWhat?â
âYou look like youâre saying goodbye.â
You looked away. âIâm not. Not yet.â
He was quiet for a while. âI donât want you to go.â
âI donât want to either.â
He wrapped his arm around your shoulder and didnât let go until you both fell asleep.
ou made time for everyone else too.
With Nami, you spent lazy afternoons in the library, pretending to study charts. She taught you how to draw maps. You traced the oceans of the world with your fingers and imagined places youâd never see.
âYouâre getting good at this,â she said.
âI want to leave something behind,â you murmured.
She didnât understand then. But she would.
Usopp was a light in the dark. You asked for bedtime stories, exaggerated tales of heroism and romance. He performed them with full sound effects, arms flailing, voice booming.
âYou always laugh now,â he noted one night.
âItâs easy, when Iâm with you.â
He blushed, scratching the back of his head. âYouâre acting like Iâm the best part of your day.â
You smiled. âYou are.â
Robin gave you quiet comfort. She didnât ask questions. She simply read to you, let you rest your head in her lap, brushed your hair back from your face.
âYouâre calm,â you told her.
âYouâre storming,â she replied.
You didnât deny it.
Franky built you a swing on the back of the Sunny, facing the sea. You spent hours there, feet brushing over the waves, eyes on the endless blue.
âSuper chill, right?â he said, adjusting the ropes.
You nodded. âItâs perfect.â
He caught your hand before he left. âYouâre not okay.â
You looked up at him. âNo.â
âOkay,â he said, voice tight. âYou donât have to be.â
Brook played lullabies for you. Sweet, simple things. You danced with him once, slow and clumsy.
âIf I still had a heart,â he said softly, âI think it would ache.â
You rested your head against his chest. âMine already does.â
Chopper was breaking. Every day, he looked at you like you were already fading. You caught him crying in the storage room once, holding one of your jackets.
âI canât do this,â he whispered.
âYouâre stronger than me,â you said, hugging him.
âI hate lying.â
âI know.â
You waited until they docked at a small island for supplies.
You left at dawn.
Left behind the stargazer chair. The flowered book. The slingshot. The meals. The love.
Left behind a stack of letters in Chopperâs room.
When the crew realized you were gone, Luffy panicked first.
âThey wouldnât leave! Theyâd never leave!â
Zoro was already on the dock, scanning the shoreline. Sanji lit a cigarette with shaking fingers.
They searched the island. They waited at the ship. They called for you until their voices cracked.
You didnât come back.
That night, Chopper gathered them in the infirmary.
âI didnât want to break the promise,â he said, voice trembling. âBut⌠theyâre gone. They were dying.â
No one moved.
ââŚWhat?â
âThey only had a month. They asked me to let them live⌠without pity.â
Nami burst into tears. "They shouldâve told us,â
Zoro punched the wall.
Luffy stood in stunned silence, until he screamed your name into the ocean wind.
They read your letters together. All huddled in the infirmary, hearts shattered.
âTo Sanji â You made me feel wanted, even when I felt like a ghost.â âTo Zoro â You were my anchor. I always knew where I stood when I was beside you.â âTo Luffy â Thank you for being the sun. I needed the light more than youâll ever know.â âTo the Crew â You made me part of a family. You made me more than a dying story.â
They held a quiet vigil on the deck.
Brook played your song one last time. Robin scattered petals into the sea. Chopper lit a lantern and let it drift across the water.
They stayed on that island for days.
Then, they sailed forwardâquieter, heavierâbut with your memory in their hearts.
You were their nakama.
You were their heart.
You always would be.
Hey guys try and guess what obsession Iâm getting back into
if Yamato ends up joining the crew (still so fucking excited about that lmao i legit almost cried while reading) and Sanji and Brook keep fawning over him then iâm gonna start telling people theyâre both confirmed bisexual because of it. you can say what you like about it and idrc but i just think itâll make dudebroâs super upset and honestly iâll say and do almost anything to see them get overly pissy
