Mihawk walking to his castle and seeing Zoro and Perona:
2023 song "Bothered" by Claremont, California-based all-female darkwave and post-punk trio Casa De Brujas
Daniel might think he's stronger than that, but the baby old boy is in Dubai for a reason.
Why rotate their gimmicks when u can give them all the same gimmick at once but expressed in compatible yet unique ways :D
The Goth Trio + 1
I’ve been thinking a lot about Mihawk going around and picking up random kids and ‘not’ adopting them. While I agree Zoro and Perona fit into his weird little pastel goth family I feel like there’s another character that would fit in ridiculously well that we don’t talk about: Law. The man literally has death tattooed on his hand and is a swordsman how would Mihawk not adopt that?
He would get one look at Law trailing after Donflamingo and just go nope. That Pink idiot should not have any children anywhere near him.
I think it gets 10x funnier if Law doesn’t get forcibly adopted until the New World when Mihawk and Perona just show up on Mihawk’s little floating coffin because of course they like to check on Zoro every so often and it’s an adult Law that is forcibly adopted.
Am I saying that I need Law, Perona, and Zoro sibling dynamics? Yes, absolutely. The pranks alone would be hilarious. Perona always has her ghosts to put the boys in their place but Law leaving Zoro’s unattached head on Perona’s pillow for her to find when she wakes up is 100% in character. Honestly, I feel most sorry for Zoro here.
There’s just no reason for wine dad Mihawk to stop at two kids. He has a whole castle worth of rooms to fill.
Here's some joke Linked Universe AU because I couldn't stop thinking about it:
Villain AU.
Midna is the boss; Shadow and Ravio are her henchmen. The problem is that they're all horrible villains. Like, cartoon villains level of bad.
Midna is the boss because she have way to much prior experience in it. She is excellent with guns and can be really scary. But.... She likes to create over complicated, bizarre plans and her short temper is a great problem. Midna acts all elegant but as soon things start to go her way she breaks her facade and goes full imp. She also enjoys way too much to play with the heroes instead of quickly finishing things. She makes some sick evil speeches tho.
Shadow joined just because he thinks villains are way cooler than heroes. He is really loyal and actually good at being a bad guy... If you consider the theatrics the only thing that matters in being a bad guy, of course. He tries to use the "solitary wolf" act (because he thinks it's badass) around the heroes, but he admires Midna too much and takes care of Ravio like the other was his little brother, so he is not really fooling anyone. At least his evil laugh is amazing.
Ravio is just vibing, no one knows what his motivations are. Behind the scenes he is great! He knows how to manage money and how to find the best weapons; but on the front line? Ravio usually is the one who ended up accidentally ruining the plans. But at this point Midna and Shadow care way too much about him to fire him. And honestly, without him the other two would be pretty screwed up too, since Ravio is the one who cooks and do all the chores.
And no, the braincell may not be with the villains, but is definitely not with the heroes.
I don't even know anymore. If anyone wants, feel free to add anything, I guess? lol
Mihawk and Perona got into an argument.
Perona: Do you know how many meals I have prepared for you.
Mihawk: (sipping tea casually) I have cooked more meals than you have.
Perona: Yeah, but I helped you tend to your farm.
Mihawk: I let you live here!
Perona begrudgingly cares about Zoro.
Mihawk's thinking about how his fight with Zoro was the first time he felt an actual emotion in his life.
