With the Warlord system abolished, there were only so many places Mihawk could have gone to. As he was packing rather hastily, knowing the Marines could be barging in any moment, he was on the line with none other than Crocodile, listening as his former colleague offered him a rather lucrative job. Still, Mihawk was rather indecisive about it. He needed time to think and would rather not have to make decisions he could very well regret later on.

A glance thorough the window was enough to have him hurry. Several Marine ships were already at the shore, disembarking and making their way to the castle. The thrill of the hunt was there, fingers itching to take a hold of Yoru and have a go at the Marines now that there was nothing tying him to them or the World Government.

He stopped himself. This was not the time.

A few books and several wine bottles shoved in a burlap sack, long coat put on along with the hat and sword placed on his back, and Mihawk fled the castle on Kuraigana Island, successfully evading the Marines who were too busy with the Humandrills to notice he was making a run for it.

But where to go? The first logical person his mind went to was Shanks. He knew the man well enough to know he'd offer him a place on his ship without him having to join his crew on top of it, though he would never hear the end of his ever-present cocky attitude and begging for a proper sword fight like back in the day. He could always find himself another abandoned island and make it his new home, though being stationary when being hunted by Marines wasn't smart either.

No, he needed to be somewhere where he'd be protected, could also offer protection in return and where he'd feel at home. He knew just the place.

It took some time and some Marine avoiding to find the ship he was looking for. It was just as he remembered, albeit somewhat weathered, which was to be expected, docked at a small unsuspecting port just as he remembered from his childhood when the Captain would like to wander about or just mingle among people as a civilian. Maybe, just maybe, if he was lucky, his mother was still part of the crew as well.

With just the burlap sack in hand and the sword on his back, Mihawk made his way to where the ship was docked, sitting down on one of the dock poles just like he did when he was a child waiting for the Captain to return.

She did, eventually, and the swordsman couldn't help the soft smile, features relaxing immediately. She looked just as he remembered - radiating security and authority alike, as the King of pirates should. He wondered if she'd recognize him.

"Permission to step on board, Captain."

The night of Wano grew long. Gripping shadows that could not be expunged, choking and suffocating the land, persisted. And yet, despair falls upon deaf ears by those who perpetuate it, and the whispers of darkness do not extend beyond the waters that churned before him. A child sat on a cold and rocky beach, watching the endless horizon. Burdened clouds heavy with storm infested the sky.

The distant ring of thunder accompanied by the occasional metal tang of jangling chains filled his silence. Occasionally he may glance one of the immense koi which graced Wano’s waters, pondering how it felt to swim so freely, and yet they remained with this island. Behind him, the stronghold of the depraved mocked all that approached, the eyes of the monstrous skull dull and dim with the hollow echoes of stupefied beasts.

Hunger stabbed him. This was fine. Samurais do not feel hunger. Even as their friends fall, they carry on. Yamato would learn to become accustomed to it, to bear this burden he accepted so wholely. So heavy it was, for a boy so young... What was he waiting here for? Perhaps a brief moment of tranquility amongst the gloom, a way to muster that strength he coveted to serve as that inevitable light of dawn.

My good artist, if I may but C4 screams Shakky from One Piece or B5 for Rouge? I absolutely adore your art and you are under no obligation to draw these! If you don't then I will respect your decision! I hope you have a good day!

Is that wine or the blood of her enemies? Perhaps both.

@hibiscusxqueen​ sent: "You're dripping blood on my carpet," No she was not amused (Hi friend! Which evermuse feels up to answering it! If you want of course)

blood and bruises -> [meme]

Akane stared at the woman, the one that held the title of Pirate King. Though she had heard many rumors throughout the years, the only time she had witnessed Rouge in person was during the battle at Marineford. Though she had made an appearance to save her son, the combined forces of her crew and the Whitebeard pirates still lost him. It was a huge blow, one Akane was still grieving. It was near two years since then and it hadn’t cross her mind until now that Rouge as a mother must have been grieving the most.

Her eyes slid down to the floor, watching as the blood- a mix of her own and the enemies she had been fighting off before crossing paths with Rouge’s crew, dripped down onto the expensive looking carpet.

She almost wanted to tsk. “I can leave.” It’s not like she had exactly asked to come onboard the ship anyway.

@hibiscusxqueen​ asked:

"Blood? Are you bleeding?"

“What? No...’course not.” the answer is surrounded by the sounds of a valiant effort to not to sniff too loudly or have too many tears escape his eyes. Sabo wipes his face on his sleeve quickly not making eye contact with the woman. “Why would you care anyway... you don’t know me...”

hibiscusxqueen liked your post “descendedishtar:starter call. ”

 “Oh, I don’t recall hiring any new servants such as you. You, with the plain face, are you a stowaway? Should I bring out the swords to hack you into pieces? Or perhaps your here by mistake?”

This is a pleasure boat after all, for men. 

[ask-theportgasfamily]

"And what exactly is it that she wants?"

..she really misses him. I can’t do anything about it.

//But I have that “headcanon” that she’s mistaken for a guy every once in a while anyway. So thanks a lot :) And thanks for the answer in general!//
