I'v been trynna work out my headcanon for how Zoro lost his eye
And, after thinking about it for awhile, I think it should be Mihawk's fault.
Not in a "I took your eye because of TRAINING" kind of thing, but in a way that leaves them both feeling awful and it is implicitly Mihawk's fault.
In a way that if it was Zoro being dumb or foolish or if it was completely out of Mihawk's hands because he was busy doing something, was somewhere else that would be one thing, but it wasn't! It was a completely avoidable situation where Mihawk should of been able to stop what happened and didn't or couldn't for whatever reason and it cost Zoro his eye.
In a way that -while Mihawk is NOT attached to these brats who invaded his home how dare you say that- he did accept Zoro as his charge and thus feels a massive amount of guilt he doesn't want nor know how to deal with because he ultimately failed somewhere that cant really be disputed nor can really be resolved.
(If you are going to interact, reblogs would be really appreciated!)
