(this chapter is going to be so emotional, there is a heads up cause, someone is having suicidal thoughts/attempts)
(Third Person POV)
It didn't take long to get there, but it felt like eternity with Shaw. He was quiet, the atmosphere felt very chilly yet it was a bright & hot day. This side of Shaw, they've never seen him act like this before. Maybe Luffy when he found out that Ace was getting executed or when Sabo was taken, but hell... this is a whole different level
"U-Uh... w-we're, we're here!"
"Are we now?" Luke gulped again, the ASL nervously look at each other when they saw Shaw walk into the bar, they immediately went in after him
"Hey Shawn..." Will & Valor started, but soon after they realized all three crews (counting the revolutionary army) were in that very bar, so they spat out their drinks "Shaw?! What are you doing in here?!" he didn't answer them
"Shaw...!" the other four whispered/shouted at him, everyone's ears perked up at the mere mention of his name & looked over to see the blonde walking towards the counter
"Did I hear that right or did they really say Shawn?"
"What if that Shawn is spelt S-E-A-N?"
"But then they said Shaw." they kept their eyes on him & he didn't give a fuck about the attention, he needed to see this woman. He was finally up at front & Luke was just behind him when a woman, with long blonde hair, freckles & blue eyes immerged from behind the counter

"Oh? Luke sweetheart, your back early. How was your day?" Shaw felt the floor underneath him crack
"My name is not Luke." her eyes widened "My name is Shawn, or Shaw. What's your name?" she gulped a bit
"M-Marilyn... Clarity D. Marilyn." his eyes narrowed on her
"& how old are you?" she was going to answer but Shaw interrupted her "& you better tell me the truth, mother." everyone was blown away right now, did he just call her "mother"? She swallowed thickly & looked away, but she took a deep breath & looked back at him
"I-I'm currently 71." their eyes widened & their jaws dropped, Luke however was more shocked. That woman, for his whole life, told him she was in her late twenties to her mid thirties, what a load of bullshit
"Then how do you look like that when Whitebeard, my father, your, I don't know, husband! Is currently 74 right now! How do you look so fucking young yet your so old?!"
"Shaw, calm down!" he whips his head around & glares at Valor
"No, fuck you Valor!!" his eyes widened a tad bit, Shaw has never sworn at him like that, sure he has in a joking manner in the past but, I'm pretty damn sure he's not joking around right now "Nah, ignore that question, I have a better one. We're twins right? Born at the same time, right?" she nodded nervously
