    Summary

    For a while, this is as close as they get to any sort of argument: Zoro growling at him like a rabid dog, deadlocked into a staring contest that Mihawk, for the first time, might actually lose.

    Perona finally breaks the silence. "Urgh! I've had it with you--emotionally constipated sword freaks!" she fumes with a petulant stomp of her cherry boots. "Fine! If you two won’t talk about it, then I’ll do it for you!" She extends her hands. "Negative Hollow!"

    Twin translucent specters erupt from her palms. Mihawk effortlessly swats away the pest -- but Zoro, only halfway to his mastery of haki and ambushed from his freshly-carved blind spot, is not quite so fortunate.

    Zoro crumples to his hands and knees. “I don't deserve to have you as my father.”

    Perona gasps. Zoro petrifies, and Mihawk thinks, distantly, that this is what it would feel like to take a sword to the chest.

    “As your what?”

    ---------

    It takes hurting both of the children living with Mihawk to make him realize that they're his.

    Summary

    There were few things in life that Dracule Mihawk regretted. Bringing Monkey D. Luffy's first bounty poster to Red-Haired Shanks, and thus irrevocably introducing him as an acceptable conversation topic between them, was one such regret.

    Summary

    “I have these swords,” Sanji says, his hand back to the swords on his side, “Because you’re dead, asshole.”

    A devil fruit user sends Zoro through alternate timelines where the only constant is that, in every single one of them, he’s already dead.

    Summary

    Zoro's not exactly the first person anyone on the Straw Hat crew would turn to for comfort. In fact most times, he'd probably be the last. But every so often, all that awkward, oblivious, blunt force honesty of his is exactly what they need.

    (Or, eight times Zoro was there for his crew, and one time someone was there for him.)
