.

His golden eyes searched around until they landed on mine. He smirked a little but was not noticed by the general public, which surrounded the area

Out of curiosity, I got closer to his boat, standing on one of the remains of Kreig's ship

"¿Por qué estás aquí, niño bonito?" you asked

("What're you here for, pretty boy?")

"Deshacerse de los idiotas en esta población." he replied

("Getting rid of idiots in this population.")

"Hehehe, I heard you were scaring away the young ones, care for a fight?"

Murmurs from Kreig's crew and baratie workers were heard from them something along the lines of

'ehh, who is she, and why is she challenging Hawkeye?' 'she's crazy!' 'she's definitely gonna lose to him'

"Let's see if our difference in strength has changed since the last time we met."

Mihawk landed on the same piece of wood you were standing on, and so the fight began.

You lunged at him, knowing that he wasn't going to attack first. You threw a punch at him, and he dodged. You kept throwing punches while he kept dodging, so you asked

"If you weren't in the mood to fight me, you could've just said so." As you threw a roundhouse kick and waited for his reply

"You don't even have your weapon out, tesoro."

"ughh fine, but you'll have to make do with my daggers because my sword got stolen along with my boat."

"Very well."

you pulled out your two daggers while he finally used his famous sword.



you had three of these but chose to use two. resuming with the fight that was too quick for some of the others to follow what was happening

"wahh, I knew our waitress could handle herself, but she gets more interesting by the minute," one of the chefs commented

"Ahh, what a lovely lady y/n-swaan is ♡"

"Ah, maybe I should make her join my crew as well."

"She wouldn't join your little crew, chore boy. She always rides solo, and sometimes she accompanies people, but soon after, she'll be back to soaring the seas alone." Zeff said

"How come you know that much about her, damn old man?" Sanji inquired

"Because she told me herself, plus she sometimes appears in the coos news."

they all deadpanned at the first half of his sentence, but maybe he was right. Someone who could keep up with mihawk would certainly appear in the news at least once

you were breathing slightly more than you should, and so was mihawk. The fight ended with the both of you having only one scratch, yours on your shoulder and one on mihawks arm

"Well done. You've managed to satiate my boredom, tesoro"

"Well then, thank you for the show you put on, cariño"

you casually went back to baratie to grab your stuff since you were going to leave soon anyway. You walked past the shocked chefs and made your way inside

while you were inside the fight between zoro and mihawk had started, and you came out when he was done

I'm guessing this fight was more entertainment for him, but he said some serious words to the young man while throwing me in there for some reason

'If you can't defeat that woman, you won't even have a chance with me,' he said, and you just stared at him

"I plan on defeating you as well, waitress!" zoro shouted from the boat

"Names Y/N, and I look forward to it!"

Now that that was finished Kreig being the dumbass he is, right that mihawk was here for his head to which he replied yet but he got his excitement for the day so he was going back home to sleep

.・゜゜・a little time skip.・゜゜・

The whole ordeal ended with Luffy winning, then sanji saving him from the ocean.

Ghin came to apologize to sanji and everyone after the fight, I don't know why I was included in that apology, but whatever

You had already said your goodbyes to Mihawk when he left, but now you needed a boat. You were planning to ask Zeff for a boat when sanji said that they'll be using the errand boat

When you turned to ask them for a ride, Ghin wanted to talk to you

"Listen, I really am sorry about this whole situation with kreig. I thought he was going to be considerate an-"

"Don't worry about it. From what I could tell, you had good intentions, and he exploited them because you were so loyal to him, even when he was going to kill you."

"If you want my opinion, I don't think you should continue to work for him."

"I know, I've always had doubts but I would bury them with pride and chose to ignore them but even now as he's been defeated, I have no where to go so I might as well just stick with him like I've always done."

"Come with me."

he looked at me with a shocked and confused face. "What?! n-no I can't do that, you're so strong, and I would only be a hindrance to yo - "

"Come with me. You won't be a hindrance. Give yourself some credit, Ghin."

he stood there too shocked to reply so you moved onto your other problem right now, "Hmm, but I don't have a boat right now, so we'll have to go with these guys for now."

he heard you talking, but it was drowned out to his ears, "Do you really mean it?"

"Ofc I do."

he smiled as the waterworks began to pour. He was so happy someone genuinely believed in him for who he was and chose to invite him in your travels.

He even got on his knees and thanked you formally, while you were frantically trying to get him to stand up and stop crying.

it was all awkward for you but you were sure he would turn out to have more potential with me than he ever would with Kreiger.
