Porcelain Cougar[One Piece x Reader]

005:Logue Town

Luffy stands excitedly atop the execution platform, his wide grin unwavering as he gazes out over Loguetown. The salty breeze ruffles his vest, and he plants his hands on his hips, drinking in the sight before him. "Wow! So this is what the King of the Pirates saw when he died!"

Down below, civilians stop in their tracks, looking up at the boy who now stands where Gol D. Roger once had. Murmurs ripple through the crowd, whispers questioning who he is, what he's doing up there. Some recognize his straw hat, his carefree attitude, but none could have predicted what would come next.

The moment is broken by the crackle of a megaphone. "You! On the platform! Get down immediately!" A Marine officer stands at the edge of the crowd, his uniform crisp, his stance rigid with authority. The gathered townsfolk shrink back instinctively, their whispers growing louder as they watch the unfolding scene. The Marine's stern gaze remains locked onto Luffy, his patience already wearing thin.

Luffy blinks, looking over at the marine, completely unfazed. "Huh? but why?"

The crowd gasps at his nonchalance, and the marine's grip on the megaphone tightens. "You are currently standing on an execution platform that belongs to the world government! I repeat, get down from there immediately!"

Luffy tilts his head, barely processing the words before flashing a grin. "Fine! I'll come down, but first you have to say the magic word... And smile too!"

The Marine scowled, pressing the megaphone closer. "I'm not playing, I'll arrest you if you don't come down!"

Before the Marine could react, a giant iron club crashed down on him, sending him flying across the square. The crowd gasped in shock as a mysterious black-haired woman stepped forward, adjusting her fancy white hat and pink shawl with a smirk. "Hmph, now's not the time for such trifles. Long time no see, Luffy."

Luffy blinked, tilting his head in confusion. "Huh?"

"Now that's just rude! You mean to tell me that you, of all people, have forgotten my face? I expected better from you, Luffy." She tossed her hair over her shoulder with a dramatic flair, her confident smirk never faltering. The mysterious woman says, her voice dripping with amusement. The onlookers erupt into admiration, their eyes turning into hearts. "She's absolutely gorgeous!" one man exclaims. "I've never seen such beauty!" another sighs dreamily. "Her skin looks so deliciously smooth!" a woman gasps. "I think I'm in love..." someone mutters faintly before fainting.

Luffy, still scratching his head, looks back at the woman with wide eyes. "Forgot? I'm pretty sure we haven't ever met. Who are you?"

The woman smiles, her eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and something unreadable. "I'll never forget you... Because you were the first man who ever truly struck me."

Luffy's jaw drops, his face scrunching up in confusion and alarm. "What!? I've never hit you!"

The onlookers suddenly turn to Luffy, their admiration shifting into hostility. "How dare you lay a hand on such a beauty?!" one man shouts. "Unforgivable!" another yells. "You brute!" a woman scolds, shaking her fist. "I thought he was kind, but he's just a monster!" someone wails dramatically.

"When you struck me with your passionate fist..." she explains while rubbing her stomach, slowly raising her hand to hold her cheek. "It felt so good~" The crowd immediately turns back to admiring her beauty, completely forgetting Luffy. "She's even graceful when reminiscing!" one man swoons. "That longing gaze... it's enchanting!" another sighs. "A love story in the making!" a woman exclaims. "I wish I was in her place..." someone murmurs wistfully.
