Summary
Luffy doesn’t remember when it started, the hands. It feels like they’d always been there. Touching in places they shouldn’t be touching. Hurting in ways that sometimes didn’t even hurt (other times they hurt in ways that hurt very much).
He can’t remember when the touches started. But he does remember the first time it got worse. The first time something painful and hard was put INSIDE him. He didn’t think anything was supposed to go in there, but he wasn’t sure. He didn’t know what was happening.
——————
Or 5 times Luffy avoids dealing with his childhood trauma via laughter and toxic positivity and 1 time he allows himself to not be okay, with a little help from his friends/ally who’s become more than an ally.

——
OR Sanji looks back and thinks about moments went he felt something was off, but didn’t really get it until he’d learned more about his Captians past.
——
ORIt makes him sick, thinking about his happy-go-lucky captain, so enamored with the little things in life, so fearless and excited and naive, having such a huge part of his innocence taken so young. He thinks of Vanessa and how Luffy must have been around that age… How he’s managed to maintain such a trustful nature, Sanji will never be able to understand.
He thinks it must be really confusing for Luffy to separate sex from romantic love. Sanji himself wasn’t good at that either, but he didn’t have the extra layers of fuckery either.

Summary

He’d take him camping alone sometimes and-” Ace says cuttimg himself off, and stumbles up, starts grabbing for his things.

Can be read as a stand alone.
No excerpts for the chapter this time, as I think it’d be more fun to let it all be a surprise lol.

Summary
He assumes the mom died during childbirth, but his dumb ass son refuses to tell him, just says he’s got to leave the kid with him.
Garp refuses, but he does gently grab the infant from his son’s arms and looks down at the baby. Somehow he’s already got a nearly full head of hair. He must have been born with it, just like his father had been. It’s a trait that absolutely had to have come from Garp’s late wife, originally. The kid is so much smaller than Dragon had been though.
Garp smiles softly, before letting out a laugh. He’s a fucking grandfather now.
“What’s his name?” Garp says, voice unusually gentle for the gruff man.
“Didn’t give him one.” And Garp’s smile slides off his face in an instant, looking up sharply at his son.
————
Or, After Garp finds out Luffy was abused by his own first mate/best friend, he thinks back on his life with Luffy, does his own unofficial investigations to understand what his grandson had been through, and some other things.

Summary
He remembers being with the mayor once and he was crying about something. The mayor had wiped the tears from his cheek and Luffy for the first time realized how much he craved touch. He’d hummed a bit and leaned into the touch and the mayor had pulled him into a hug. He felt an ache he didn’t know he had melt away as he heard, “It’s going to be okay, Luffy.”
Before that, touch usually meant punishment of some sort from grandpa. It wasn’t something that was kind or that he enjoyed. He’s certain there have been other times of course, Makino tucking him in on a one of the unusually slow nights at the pub when he was sleeping upstairs that night, giving his shoulder a quick squeeze before heading downstairs.
But it was always so RARE. And short lived, and not enough.
When Luffy first met Honzo he loved the new addition to his grandfathers crew. He paid so much attention to Luffy and he never shied away from touching him.
---
Or, Luffy and his struggles with going from being touch starved to sexually abused.

Summary
“What’s the story with that hat anyway?” Law asks.
“… It belonged to my mentor.” If he can figure it out from that, he deserves to know where the hat came from.
And apparently he can, because Law’s eyes widen at that. Shanks really didn’t think he’d get it in half a second, because it’s not common knowledge that he sailed with Gol D. Roger. This kid really seems to do his research.
“Luffy’s going to shit himself.” Law laughs. “I kind of want to just wait until he finds out and be like ‘You really didn’t know’? And see the look on his face when he finds out I knew the whole time. But I also sort of want to go back to my submarine and call him right now.”
————
Or, Shanks and Law both have mini POV’s on meeting each other and bond over their shared love and concern for Luffy.

Summary
Once she’s at the top she walks over to the “helm” of the tree house. She has to literally bend down to touch it and that makes her begin to sob in earnest as she falls to her knees, head still much higher than the helm.
Luffy had been so fucking small, how could he betray him like that. He couldn’t have even understood what was happening to him at the time. How could anyway see a defenseless child like that and take advantage of them.

Summary
“Wha- Jesus, are you serious? I think I’m already DYING for you, Traffy.”
They’d been laying on their side before, but Law turns them so Luffy is on top. Luffy cries out in frustration when Law controls the movement so well that it doesn’t give him the jolt of pleasure he’d hoped it would.
“You’re on top, Luffy. You can move whenever you want. You can control this.” Law reminds him, “And you can obviously say you don’t want to play, but how hott would it be, just lying here my cock filling you up, both of us desperate for more friction and having a little contest to see who can hold out the longest before one of us moves?”
