Everyone in My Pirate Crew Wants to Marry Me, Even Though I'm a Mole

[New story: "The Hero Seeks Companions on the Grand Line." Please follow it. Tentatively, it's an Ace BG romance.]

Portgas D. Luna thinks she's cursed to clash with the Emperors of the Sea.

Her undercover mission was going perfectly, until Big Mom sent her a five-meter-tall husband. She was so scared she ran away that very night.

To get enough leverage to expand Sword, she went to work on her childhood friend Red-Hair's ship, diligently pulling double duty. But while she was at it, she ended up getting herself roped in, too.

Years later, Luna, now the Red Hair Pirates' No. 2 and the captain's wife, hides in the captain's quarters to handle Sword-related work, wishing just a little that she'd made a different choice back then.

After all, both Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates have a much more open attitude toward marriage. They'd never stop her from keeping Drake around to work him to the bone. Not like this guy, who even follows her when she meets Mr. Kuzan. I've told him a thousand times, not everyone in the world is still hung up on their first love like he is!!!

Reading notes

1. Shanks is the love interest. The main story is told in third person.

2. The heroine's Devil Fruit ability is ridiculously overpowered. Don't overthink it.

3. All settings are based on the manga up to chapter 1090. Treat any conflicts with later plot developments as original settings.

4. The story's theme is inspired by Chizuko Ueno's speech at the 2020 University of Tokyo entrance ceremony.

Theme: The weak can be respected as they are.
