Fandom: One Piece
Pairing: KamakirixWiper
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: pretty PG13, for a few swears. I'm not even sure if this is really 'shippy.
Friendshippy, maybe, but I've always been a sucker for that. Manly friendship (PFFFFT, sorry). I wanna try KamaLaki. And CP9. And the SH crew. Alabasta. Norland+Calgara. Mmm. CobyMeppo?
1. Ring
They form a circle to hear Wiper speak, but it's Kamakiri-- who never pays attention and is always slacking off-- who listens the hardest.
2. Hero
Kamakiri knows that Wiper has an immense amount of respect for the straw-hat kid now, and maybe he does, too, but it's his leader he had wanted warn first, not Luffy, 'cause he'd always thought that Wiper would be the one to take out Enel.
3. Memory
All the memories Kamakiri has of Wiper when they were younger are burning hot; filled with passion and ambition, weeks upon weeks of training with no one but each other for company, and when they returned to camp, the two of them had gotten so used to each other that Kamakiri never even had to turn around to know when Wiper entered a tent.
4. Box
As kids, they used to collect what Vearth was shot up into little boxes, then pool it together into a bigger one; Kamakiri and Wiper always worked together but usually got too lost to find their way back in time.
5. Run
A pillar of lightning descends from the clouds on one of their patrols; Kamakiri has an arm around Wiper's neck, dragging him away from Upper Yard as fast as his 'board could go while his friend shouted defiance to the sky.
6. Hurricane
They don't have storms above the clouds, but Kamakiri and Wiper sometimes turn stupid and head for the swirling vortexes of power for a closer look while the ocean below was thrashed by a hurricane.
7. Wings
They can't really move their wings, and none of the skypieans can fly, but as Kamakiri and Wiper once discovered after a fight and a short grappling match on the ocean clouds, it was much easier to not fall through to the Blue Sea if you did have them.
8. Cold
It's when the two of them are sitting as far from each other as humanly possible while still trying to leech warmth that Kamakiri comes up with the Burn Blade (what if we set some gas that shoots out of the breath dial on fire) and Wiper immediately builds that idea into a bazooka; they both take it as a signal to move a little closer.
9. Red
For the moment, Wiper's so high on fury all he can see is red as all the blood rushes to his head and he hears Genbou collapse into a heap behind him; Kamakiri's fist socking him gently on the arm (too tired to whack him over the head with a spear like he usually does) and his voice telling Wiper to calm the hell down before doing something suicidal is what brings him back.
10. Drink
Braham thinks that for such skinny guys, Wiper and Kamakiri can hold their liquor as well as, if not better than anyone else, but the navigator girl had them both beat in his mind when he realized that Kamakiri had passed out a while ago and Wiper was close to it after stepping in to avenge his friend (come on, I've already drunk a lot, but if you insist Wiper-san).
11. Midnight
Staying up late after everyone had gone to sleep and a round of scary stories (that had Genbou choking on the skyshark he was trying to eat with Laki making strangled noises when the stories got too graphic and Braham snorting beer none of them were supposed to be drinking through his nose while threatening to shove his head into the fire out of sheer paranoia induced by the horror legends), Kamakiri added more wood to the fire and plopped down on the cloud bench with a wicked grin to tell Wiper more.
12. Temptation
Kamakiri throws an arm over Wiper's shoulders for a quick one-armed hug, reminding himself that he shouldn't hit the guy too hard until he recovered completely from using the reject dial so many times.
13. View
When Laki tried to interfere with Kamakiri's fight, Wiper held her back while his friend got pummeled into the ground for all of two minutes before scoring a single, perfect hit; Wiper watches Kamakiri's retreating back as he runs to split up what was developing into a fight between a Skypiean and Laki, fearful that the fruity punk would get his jaw broken and that would get Gan Fall (and, consequently, the chief) pissed at them.
14. Music
Laki thinks that it's a shame Kamakiri and Wiper had become warriors; at night, around the fire, they'd sometimes sing quietly to themselves and really, Laki thought, the two of them had great voices.
15. Silk
"So you weren't--nn, lying when you said you could-- give great massages," Wiper groaned as Kamakiri pressed the tension out of his shoulders, marvelling at the thought that despite having scarred and torn up hands, Kamakiri's could probably sew and cook and embroider and other girly stuff better than Laki could.
16. Cover
"Put--me--down!" Kamakiri hissed as Wiper half carried, half dragged him behind a tree, a fold of cloth pressed tightly against his bleeding shoulder; Wiper ignored his indignant, "I can still fight, goddamn you," and pulled over a cluster of bushes to temporarily hide their presence.
17. Promise
"Whatever happens, I'll be right here."
18. Dream
Wiper dreams of Upper Yard crashing back down to the blue sea and he dreams of Great Warrior Calgara finally meeting with Mont.. Montblanc Norland of Lvneel, but above all his dreams, he wants to show Kamakiri that if he was going to die for the sake of a story, people long gone, then at least he should understand why.
19. Candle
"Don't worry about it; I'll just light up a big fire that you'll be able to see from anywhere, so you can always find your way back."
20. Talent
It's always been Kamakiri who strolled along thin, precarious branches with the balance of a skyfox and the grace of a monkey to retrieve items lost up a tree and whenever he falls, it's always Wiper he lands on.
21. Silence
"We're all gonna die," Wiper mutters after sending his warriors to prepare for the great battle; Kamakiri gives him an annoyed look and doesn't say anything, silently reassuring his friend that he would die for their gods and their ancestors and their holy land, but he fights because Wiper had asked him to.
22. Journey
The distance from their camp to Upper Yard isn't all that big, but between their quiet, rushed discussions and reassurances, it feels like four hundred years.
23. Fire
Kamakiri doesn't care about new, genius innovations that could make something bigger, fancier and cooler-looking, but he doesn't mind helping Wiper build his bazooka into something big and fancy and cool, either.
24. Strength
"We have the fighters, the weapons, the skill, to defeat Enel and his priests; they're strong but so are we, once we break through his front line, we'll be able to defeat Enel once and for all, but I need your strength the most."
25. Mask
Wiper pulls on his ceremonial mask and throws one to Kamakiri, who tosses it over his shoulder and steps onto his 'board, saying something about woeful determined heroes always needing a damn drama fix.
26. Ice
Wiper slips on the edge of the ocean clouds, crashing through the thin layer ice to the white sea; Kamakiri pulls him up almost as soon as he gets drenched, laughing his ass off while handing Wiper a blanket.
27. Fall
As the end of Wiper's too-long hair caught on fire and Braham dumped a bucket of water over his head to put it out, Kamakiri slipped off the cloud log, laughing too hard at Wiper's expression to say anything.
28. Forgotten
"Everyone'll remember the Great Shandian Warrior Wiper and Straw-Hat Luffy," Braham had said, (and forget all the others), Kamakiri didn't add.
29. Dance
They leave dancing to the women, but the competition afterwards between warriors always feature Wiper and Kamakiri as finalists, a clash between best friends for the ultimate honor; Wiper's ahead in wins and they've had a couple ties, but everyone agrees that Kamakiri puts on the better show.
30. Body
After a long, hard day of training and sparring Kamakiri, sore and hungry, sits in front of their campfire and comments that Wiper gets to hunt for dinner because he didn't spend the day whipping the new fighters into shape.
31. Sacred
Wiper has no gods and the only ancestor he worships is the Great Warrior Calgara; it's Kamakiri who has to pray enough for both of them whenever a patrol around Upper Yard goes wrong.
32. Farewells
"Let's go," Wiper says, but turns around when Kamakiri bumps into him, elbowing Wiper hard in the ribs and swinging a spear over his own shoulder before starting up just-polished dial skates and disappearing into the closely packed trees of Upper Yard.
33. World
Their world is so small: all they have is a gigantic cloud to live on and a dream to follow, but Kamakiri thinks that if it were any bigger, then Wiper would leave the rest of them too far behind to ever be able to catch up again.
34. Formal
Wiper has an arm wrapped around Kamakiri's chest, holding him down like the chief had asked him to when his friend was getting his tattoos (that Kamakiri had WANTED until he saw the needles, commenting that he was speared too much every day to ever wanna have it done intentionally).
35. Fever
Wiper's one of those stupidly strong guys who're too dense to ever get sick, and Kamakiri is jealous for a while until he realizes that the only reason he's been able to sleep this long uninterrupted is because Wiper was guarding the entrance to his tent.
36. Laugh
Although Kamakiri knows that Wiper is strong and reckless, so he should be calm and serious, he can't help but feel that he has to enough laugh for the both of them.
37. Lies
There are lies: "We'll be all right," "You'll be back soon," "I promise," "I'm a warrior; that's the only reason",
and there are truths, which are usually longer and more complicated: "I'll do my best," "We'll definitely win, because we have the pride of our ancestors and the blessing of our gods," "I can't promise anything, but," "I want your approval so badly it hurts," "I'm a warrior, but I could have been something else; the reason I fight is so that I can stay with you."
38. Forever
It might not be forever, but Kamakiri wants to stick around as long as he can.
39.Overwhelming
When Kamakiri sees Heaven's Judgement, he always has an overwhelming urge to collapse to his knees and pray, but Wiper always catches him and holds him up until his legs aren't quite so weak.
40. Whisper
"Iwannaprotectallofyou," Wiper mutters too quietly for his friends to hear.
41. Wait
It doesn't take long for Wiper to catch up to Kamakiri on the dial board his friend was trying to teach him, but all the same, he was happy the guy had waited.
42. Talk
Wiper isn't used to having long and meaningful conversations, preferring to listen to legends from the chief, stories circulating around his friends and watching Kamakiri seethe and worry and henpeck over all their friends and extended family.
43. Search
One of the new kids knew he had pissed off Kamakiri when Wiper stormed into the camp, worked into a rage and looking for something to take it out on and Kamakiri wasn't immediately turning him around by the shoulders and dragging him someplace far away from their village to vent.
44. Hope
Kamakiri isn't willing to die for the sake of his own dream, but he doesn't stop to wonder why he would for Wiper's.
45. Eclipse
Kamakiri was the only one who, through the cracked lenses of his shades, could stare straight into the dark, swirling currents in Enel's great ball of electricity that blocked out the sun and illuminated the sky, thinking that Wiper may have gotten the warning too late-- or not at all.
46. Gravity
Gravity hated people with a purpose the most, Kamakiri thought bitterly to himself as he hung by a hand off the edge of a cliff, dial skates dangling from a branch several feet down; but, he consoled himself, Wiper wouldn't laugh since the exact same thing had happened to him just last week.
47. Highway
They use milky dials to set out long, smooth stretches of cloud on which to race; the roads sometimes bent into such ridiculous shapes that no one but Kamakiri and Wiper, who had dared each other, would take on.
48. Unknown
The others are a little scared of the dark forest (especially at night), but as long as Kamakiri knows Wiper's leading the way, he's sure that they'll all be fine.
49. Lock
With Braham holding Laki still, Kamakiri with a hercules beetle in each hand moves to put them on her face until Wiper hits him across the back of the head and crushes the beetles underfoot.
50. Breathe
It's the first time they've ever been so close to each other, but it feels all right because all Kamakiri can think about is their victory and the burnt, hurting idiot in his arms, that it was hard to breath because Wiper's were wrapped so tightly around his neck, and that they really needed a medic; in the meantime, he's got his lips pressed to Wiper's forehead and warm, happy tears dripping down his chest from where his friend was sobbing all the pain and suffering of the twenty years that mattered into his neck (and he thinks that for someone so strong, it's about time Wiper let it all go and finally used the shoulder-to-cry-on he'd been silently offering for years).
