[ so maybe mihawk isn't an indiscriminate killer. zoro had been asking to get himself sliced open, after all — and zoro's still alive, which is a fairly large point of consideration. and now mihawk has taken him under his wing, as if he genuinely wants to see him succeed. these aren't exactly the actions of someone who spills blood for sport.
sanji might actually be worse. he'd... enjoyed the taste of blood, the raw rending of flesh. it only turned his stomach after. by then it was too late.
mihawk's solution seems far too simple, and yet he thinks about it anyway, desperate to latch onto any hope that zeff might not hate him for what he did. that's enough sharing about the old geezer. ]
you can just say you like him.
[ because he already knows that much — especially now, with what he's recently discovered about koby, which isn't... surprising, per se, but it's been oddly difficult to get out of his head. i wanted him near more often than not definitely sounds like like.
it sounds like what he wants with nami, and even with zoro sometimes, but it's becoming more complicated than that. he hesitates again. something about scratching his thoughts down on paper seems easier than voicing them aloud, even if he's generally unthinking about who sees the pages at all times. ]
i don't think it's like that. nami came back because zoro asked her to. because of what i did with the mothers. she knew about the connection ritual. she knew i needed one. she could have kept living the way she wanted to if not for that.
i can tell koby you need a connection, if you're gonna be a little shitty baby about it.
