Investigator Of The Sea (One Piece) | Discontinued

4. The Swordsman

Mihawk POV:

I never seen this girl before. Hope is not the red hair idiot kidnapped her.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Terenes." The girl said softly, I saw that she also trembled a bit, did she just scared of me?

I nodded and sit down beside the red hair. One of his crew member hand me a cup of booze to drink.

I looked at the girl again, "What are you doing with the red hair? Did he kidnapped you?"

"Hey Hawk-eyes! What do you think I'm? I'm not that kind of person 'kay." The red hair yelled at me and continued his drink.

"No, I planned to leave in this week because I only stay here for some rest. Somehow I ended up helping them but that just fine for me."

"So in conclusion red hair still bother you."

"Tres just volunteered to help us. Besides I also help sometimes." The red hair argued back.

"Whatever you said." I told him.

Terenes POV:

In the evening, Shanks is still sipping of his booze. He gesture me to come sit between him and Mihawk.

"Tres, are you a pirate?" Shanks asked me suddenly.

"No, why?"

"Because Ben said you kinda look familiar so I thought maybe you're a pirate too."

"Oh maybe he saw it on the news cause I do had a bounty."

"Then do you want to join my crew and become the pirate?"

"No, I had said I planned to leave in this few day. But I will consider whether or not to become the pirate."

"That's good you didn't become one of the red hair pirate or else he will force you to drink with him." The silent swordsman finally speak.

"Aren't you too overprotective to her. She will learn to drink it soon." Shanks pouted childishly.

"Don't become her bad influence."

Gosh, they act just like my parents. I thought to myself.

Next morning

Mihawk had left in the morning without anyone noticed. So only me who is awake sent farewell to him.
"If Shanks still bothering you, just call me and I will come to you." He said and handing the number of his Den Den Mushi.

"Okay." He really just act like my mother.

Then I went back to Shanks and wake him up. "Shanks, I will left tomorrow."

"What no way. Why don't you stay with us?" He immediately wake up after hearing the sentence.

"I'm supposed to left earlier but because you guys always keeping me here so I decided to stay more days. So don't stop me."

"Fine. Then let's us hold a farewell par-" "STOP!" Before he finished his sentence, I put up one of my hand in front of his face and said, "No more party. If you do, that's mean the next day you guys will get another hangover."

"Are you worried about us?"

"Of course. Although we only spend a few days together but I like you all."

Shanks eyes widened with my sentence but after that he just smiled at me and hold my waist with his arm to pulled me closer to him.

"Everything you said Tres."

Later that night, I having my dinner with them. I sit between Shanks' lap while chatting with others. Then I started felt sleepy and fall asleep.

Shanks POV:

Looking down and I saw the girl had fall asleep. I gently patted her head and let my black coat cover on her body so she doesn't catch a cold.

"Boss, are you sure you don't keep convince her? She will safe from the world government if she had stay with us." Lucky Roo said while munching his meat.

I continued looked at the sleeping girl and smiled, "She can do what she want, I respect her decision."

The next day before she set up her journey, I give my vivre card, "This will guide you to us. Remember to visit us if you have some time."

"Okay dad~"

"Dad?"

"Yea, you and Mihawk just acted like my parents." She looked from her shoulder and said smirky.

"Haha, that's fun. Next time I'm gonna tell Hawk-eyes 'bout this. See you next time Tres." I waved to her before she activated her devil fruit and fly away.

A/n
I always imagine Shanks and Mihawk could be a perfect parents cuz one is childish and the other just cool and both of them are strong XD.

But here I'm not gonna ship them as a couple, the two are really best friend (although Mihawk doesn't admit it.)
