who are their parents...?

[littlewani]

I love love LOVE the seraphims and as a croc fan I figured it’d be cute to clothe seraphim croc like his warlord counterpart hehe

[local-loser-clown]

Hey, since the existence of the Seraphims are a thing. How would Dragon feel seeing S-Wani? (and for that matter, S-Hawk in the Adopted Mihawk au? [Ps. I can't stop calling it Monkey D. Mihawk, help me])

I mean, aside from lava boiling rage in the pit of their stomach at the thought of WG literally making child soldiers. After the anger, would Dragon look at these two kids and think "a new child?/a nephew?" Like would they get parental off the bat or there would be hesitation?

I'm just a sucker for the Seraphims getting a chance to be kids and be taken care of.

They already have so much boiled anger for the world government, and the Seraphim only throw more fire into the flame. Seeing S-Croc for the first time hurt in so many ways, he knows that the kids weren't made with consent. Crocodile already made it clear to them that he didn't want more kids after what he went though with Luffy (at least for now), and seeing a child clone of him kicking him right in their soft heart. Knowing that the kids were olny made as weapons, only made his need of taking care of kids stronger. S-bear probably broke them emotionally too.

It took them a long time to get any of the Seraphim to trust him. They were made to be weapons, never really given the chance to just be kids. And Dragon is doing everything he can to make the kids trust them, cooking proper meals for them, and preening their feathers. Just being that parental role they have needed in their lives, teaching them basic games, and how to be a kid. He didn't have the best childhood, but that doesn't mean they won't give these kids the best he can offer.

S-hawk in my adopted Mihawk AU definitely hit Dragon hard in their soft heart.

A clone of his younger brother just made to be a weapon, one that he most likely didn't agree to have. Seeing his young face again, they couldn't just ignore that. He needed to take that poor kid in, do everything they could to keep him safe. Doing things he did when he was younger, it makes them feel like he was back to being a teenager taking care if their newly adopted brother.

Dragon just has such a weakness to little kids, especially kids with trauma. They can't help but feel parental towards them, the kids deserve better then this. They deserve a place to be able to just be kids, they shouldn't have been made to be weapons, they are so much more.

Man I have so many thoughts on the Seraphim and since it's been over a year since their introduction I've had a lot more of them but overall I kinda.. feel bad for them, more than anything else?

No matter how powerful or scary or cool they are, one thing always remains the most important and unforgettable aspect of them.

They're sentient. They're sapient. They're aware and alive. They're people.

Not just people. But children.

They're just children.

And they have to grapple with being the crossover of two terrible things to be.

A clone of someone else, who's life has already been lived and decided by their own terms, and forced to follow it to the letter, and having no fundamental identity independent of them. only footprints of memories that aren't even their own, purely for the purpose of making them better fighters. How can they be anything more than simple variations or derivatives of "real" people? Can they even consider themselves "real"?

A pacifista. A human weapon. No agency. No humanity. Stripped of everything from will to dreams to freedom to even self-expression and forced to follow commands and never ask questions. Like a soldier. Like less than a soldier. Like a tool.

Like a gun.

Vegapunk said that Kuma's lack of free will would force him to obey, even if they asked him to murder a child. But he originally had free will to begin with. Kuma's life as PX-0, a sentient being with no will of his own, nothing more than a passenger in his own body is a nightmare. S-Bear has known nothing but that nightmare since birth.

People said that Doflamingo was born evil, but in reality, his life was shaped by the events he lived through more than anyone in-universe wants to admit. I wonder how S-Flamingo must feel, forced to carry on Doflamingo's legacy as a monster to the core, regardless of how monstrous he himself might or might not be. i wonder if the pressure of being the clone of a demon will cause a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hancock's worldwide status was one even she did not want. It was a curse she herself learned to turn into a weapon. S-Snake does not even get the privilege of encountering OR weaponizing the curse herself. Already forced into the limelight without warning, and the eyes won't leave. Everyone already treating her like a celebrity, without a chance to even know what it was like to be a person first.

All she can do now is follow the same government that traumatized her origin and forced her to destroy her home.

Similarly, what of S-Hawk? Moreso than any seraph, any creation of the World Government, surely all eyes are on him to succeed. to be the strongest of the Seraphim and a symbol of total global safety. The world's strongest swordsman, new and improved, right? And what if he isn't? What if he's not as strong as Mihawk? What if he never is? What if he can't do it?

And what if he does? What if he ends up even worse than his origin: a bored god sitting on an empty throne with an empty title, with no one left to challenge him?

Jinbei wanted nothing in the world more than discrimination towards Fish-Men and Merfolk to end, to the degree he'd stake his life on it without hesitation. I wonder how S-Shark, a tool of the World Government, partly born from a race nearly extinguished by them, and forced to uphold their fascist, discriminatory rule against his will feels.

If Crocodile's secret is indeed his transgender identity, then what does that mean for S-Croc? At least Crocodile got the opportunity to keep it under wraps, even if some people do know. S-Croc will never get that opportunity, ever. the whole world on him from birth. Will they even let him be.. him? or will they force him to live in a body and identity that not only isn't even his own, but isn't anybody's at all?

and if it isn't, sure! I suppose he won't have to worry about that. but what of his intelligence? his own ambitions? It's said that Crocodile's greatest attribute was his mind, but the seraphim aren't allowed to break from the orders of others or formulate strategies, so S-Croc would be forced to take orders from people less experienced or intuitive. The footprints of a forgotten dream of wealth, fame, power, and freedom still sputter in his chest. A natural-born leader, forced into the role of lowly weapon, emptily paraded as a hero. How pitiful.

And S-Gecko? Always the runt. The last one. The weakest of the bunch. The world government never cared enough to hide their disdain and contempt for Moria. I can't imagine this won't bleed into how they treat S-Gecko. No matter how hard he works, being treated as nothing more than the worst of the best. Being equated to nothing but failure because his origin was one and constantly put down as "obligatory" and only existing at all because they couldn't get a better warlord to clone instead. Sure, he's not traumatized by the loss of his crew like Moria was.

But at least Moria had a crew.

The Seraphim are scary, and they're powerful. They're not naturally-born organisms, and they're programmed to follow the words of the World Government, even if told to kill in cold blood.

But they're still people.

They're still alive.

They're just children.

For the love of Nika, they're only children.

The " Buggy crews thinks that Buggy is the mother of S-Croc and S- Hawk and  that Mihawk and Crocodile are the fathers "  prompt sequel : the discovery

Crocodile is annoyed by the stupidity of Buggy's crew.

Buggy is scared that his crew will get him in trouble and  angry at them  because now, somehow Crocodile  and Mihawk appear in his dreams, in his WET DREAMS.

Mihawk  seems unaffected but in reality he find this situation entertaining.

During an emergency meeting about this case, Crocodile and Buggy ask "How this thing could happen? ", and Mihawk who said nothing during all meeting says :

"We have two child versions of us whom have joined the crew,  we  are the ones in  this crew that educating them, training them and treat them some much like real children that sometimes we forgot that they are cyborg who shot laser beams from the palm.

Given that they think their leader Buggy can do incredible things, it is likely they would think he could find a way to get pregnant. "

Crocodile definitely has a headache while Mihawk is sipping his wine and watching this go down. Poor Buggy, this whole situation is stressing him out, among other things. He wasn't ready for those dreams.

Then the emergency meeting! Buggy and Crocodile are stressed, only difference is Crocodile is calm on the outside while Buggy is crying and/or yelling about what's going on. Mihawk is drinking his wine still until there might be a fight because Buggy and Crocodile can't come to a agreement.

I love Mihawk's explanation of why it came to this. Love it so much
