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.
