Why the Hell Red-Haired Shanks is Here?(Weird Pack Side Story)

Why the Hell Red-Haired Shanks is Here?

Perona had been on Kuraigana Island for more than two months, and she had generally gotten used to her new life. Even if it was very difficult at first... Zoro and Mihawk were both uncute and at times rude, but for the most part, they were nice to her. Although Zoro was still lost from time to time, his body gradually got used to the castle. In this way, Perona had stopped following him constantly.

They even had a certain routine. Mihawk and Zoro were going to training before breakfast before Perona woke up. Meanwhile, if Perona woke up, she was making breakfast for them and herself, and if not, Mihawk would prepare and wake her up. Then there were the first wine hours of the day with Mihawk. They were doing this mostly to torture Zoro. Mihawk was forcing Zoro to cook their lunches. While teaching him how to eat a healthy diet in this way, he was also educating him in other areas as well, although she didn't quite understand why. Then they were going to training again. Perona was following them in order not to be alone. When they were done with the day, Perona was tending to Zoro's injuries that day, sometimes helping Mihawk with dinner. They ate their dinner together as they did every meal. Sometimes they were talking and sometimes it was quiet, which was pretty annoying, but as she said, she got used to it.

But Perona was for some reason very restless today. All-day long she had felt as if there was a stranger in the castle. But neither she nor her ghosts could see anything. So she tried to calm herself down and sleep, but she couldn't. So she decided to wake up Zoro, but he was already awake and he was aware of the situation. Seeing Perona, they agreed without speaking and decided to search the castle. Without waking Mihawk because a newly awakened Mihawk was not a good Mihawk.

But there was something they didn't know. Mihawk was already awake. On top of that, he knew very well what the awkward situation was, because it was in his routine, too. Red-Haired Shanks... The truth was that Mihawk and Shanks were mates and were seeing each other every few months. Sometimes more often, sometimes less. This time it was Shanks who visited.

"For a sun-loving man like you, it must have bothered you to stay in the shadows all day, Red-Haired."
"Hawk-eyes... WHAT THE HELL?! Why are the Pirate Hunter Zoro and a strange pink flying girl in your castle?!"
"It just happened. Roronoa will be training under me for two years, but I'm not sure about Perona."
"Are you training Zoro? Are you?!"
"He is a passionate man. It is so hard to find."
"Two years huh? So that's what Luffy decided..."
"Did you know that they were a pack?"
"Huh? Luffy formed a pack? I told him not to though. Take me as an example..."
"Your student... No, your son will follow a different route than you, but of course, the pack complicates things. During his first weeks here, he suffered from separation sickness, apart from his wounds."
"Separation sickness is really hard... Even I had a hard time getting used to it..."
"Me too..."
"So?"
"So what?"
"What are you thinking about them? Will you tell them? I mean I could easily hide but..."
"I am not thinking anything about them besides one of them being my student and the other one being a noisy woman. And I will tell them. As much as I want it to stay hidden they will be here a quite long time and it would be unfair to you. Unless you..."
"Omegas are more intuitive than Alphas."
"Yes..."
"And I feel that those two will be important to you. So it's okay. You can say both things."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"And..."
"And what?"
"What were you doing?"
"Oh... I was with Marco."
"Phoenix?"
"Yeah."
"How is he?"
"He is in ruins. What do you expect but if anyone can get through this, it's him. I have known him for a long time. He will be okay."
"Hmm... You are worrying about Straw-hat right?"
"How can I not? His brother..."
"Don't worry. He is strong and not stupid as I thought. Besides I could tell you if anything bad happened. Zoro would feel it."
"Yeah... Whatever... Now I've come all the way, won't you call me to bed?"
"Aren't you old?"
"Hey! You are older than me and I wasn't talking about that geez. just sleep. Together!"
