I have never exactly cared if women swoon over me.
(Does he even look like someone who did? Have you seen his hat?)
How cute that you think you're a little pair like that.
I have my own interests in this world and they involve a more productive relationship with your crew.
Consider this me extending the courtesy to you. I don't really care if you take me up on it, but the offer is there.

[ stop making him think about things ]
jealous?
someone who sold out to the marines wouldn't do anything for nothing.
i want my spices, though. i'm not gonna sling shit no matter where i am.
get me what i need, and then when you come to collect, come to me. not nami.

you're not a vampire, you old shitbag.
[ of course she does. doesn't she? ]
why don't you stop focusing on my relationship and start thinking about how to get your own?
if you've never cared about beautiful women, then what's your type? ugly idiots who drink cheap liquor?

Just like you're not a cook, hm?
(Mihawk be nice!!)
I only express intrigue in yours because I pity Nami. Even I respect her enough to realize she doesn't deserve some fool orchestrating some relationship with her.
I don't want a relationship.
My, why so interested in my type? Don't tell me you want to see what it's like to be with a man. (He knows that's not true, but he's just being a jerk now.)
When I do seek companionship, it is with men who are beautiful in their own right and who have their own passions.

[ how do you yell at someone via crusty paper ]
you don't know the first thing about what it means to be with nami.
seeing her as another piece on your board isn't respect.
no, you just charm shitty little idiots who don't know any better so you can cut a good deal with them.
[ how DARE you, never in his life has he EVER thought such a thing (yes he has) ]
koby qualifies?

I don't think you do either.
Please. I highly doubt you treat her any differently than any other woman you have ever wanted to sleep with.
I'm not especially known for being charming, but I'm flattered you think so.
(Oh! Wow! Apparently it does suck having your not!relationship thrown into your face. What the heck. Who would have guessed.)
Anyone with eyes could tell that Koby is beautiful.

(...He actually almost feels bad for Sanji. Almost.)
A pervert and a romantic. Who would have thought?
(It's disgusting.)
We both know I am no more a marine than you are. There is use in that alliance right now.
Oh? And what exactly is that worth? Since you apparently are so informed of our situation.

[ he feels bad for himself... time to bypass this topic. ]
if there was use in it, you'd be one.
that's the difference between you and the straw hats.
[ there's a lot he could say about koby right now. and a part of him wants to. but for once, he tries to take a page out of luffy's book and tempers his pissy attitude. ]
he deserves better than you. i just don't know if he knows that yet.
but there's no way you don't.

(Mihawk is left staring at his notebook for quite some time. He knows what Sanji is saying and truthfully, he agrees with it too. Though it goes against one thing he believes in through and through.)
The only thing all people deserve is the freedom to choose what they want to do with their own lives.
Right now, Koby is choosing me. One day, he will choose to end this and choose to move on to something else or someone else.
Both you and I must respect his right to choose what he does with his life. Even if we may not like the choices.
(Long story short: he absolutely knows.)

[ sanji, similarly, stares long and hard at his notebook, but with the desire to set it on fire. mihawk talks like a damn idealist — like a pirate — which sanji understands but hasn't had the luxury, or maybe the balls, to live by. luffy is the closest he's ever tasted of freedom. and even then, he hasn't been totally honest about who he really is. how miserable and worthless the real sanji is. ]
some choices don't need to be respected. i'm not cosigning your bullshit.
piss off, mihawk.

(Mihawk doesn't really regret anything. He just recognizes that they had both been going Through Some Stuff and it didn't seem worth the energy to maintain any sort of genuine frustration toward the cook.
It's more of a gesture of peace above all else. A basket filled with herbs and spices, some nice cuts of meat wrapped carefully, and a well-crafted cutting board. A simple note is attached that reads:)
No need to keep sneaking into my stock. Just come as you will.
-Mihawk

-Mihawk
[ he means to ask what exactly has been happening, since he knows the absolute shitty nightmare of having his insides and outsides ripped apart to form something... sort of not human. but it might be too soon to have a civilized conversation. if mihawk gained some annoying ass rabbit ears, there might be justice in the world.
still, he recognizes a peace offering when he sees it. he also doesn't see the point in continuing a feud that will lead toward nothing good. when he sends the basket back, there's a bottle of his latest trial batch of wine, this one aged with a little bit of magic, just as mihawk had suggested.
the bottle is nestled among several lavish, white feathers, the long plumes fluffy and bright, meticulously cleaned and carefully placed to minimize damage.
on the back of mihawk's original note: ]
for your shitty hat.

(He has to admit that it's a rather thoughtful gift. Sanji, once again, serves to be a pleasant surprise. His hat had become a bit lacking since arriving in this disgusting world.
Well. He did say he would review the wine properly.
So, Sanji gets a message in his notebook a few days later:)
The wine is better. Now we're talking high quality. Though it still needs something. Perhaps enchant the barrels?
(A genuine suggestion. He had never considered the possibility of creating wine through magic. The possibilities here were endless.
More importantly though...)
I hear that you were also subject to a bodily change. A rabbit, was it?

[ thanking him for his helpful suggestions seems a bit excessive, so he instead writes back in his notebook about the other question — not that he really wants to talk about this either, but nami and zoro are so far unchanged, and as helpful as they're being, it's possible they don't quite... understand the level of change here. ]
if you're here to give me shit about it, i'm not above kicking your ass.
so what happened to you?

Believe it or not, I'm not. I'm curious about these changes.
A wolf for me. (Sorry, Sanji, but to his credit he has no interest in shoving that in Sanji's face. He already was stronger than Sanji back home so what was the difference with a rabbit versus wolf scenario? He saw no point in gloating over that kind of thing.)
How annoying are your new instincts? (Because his SUCKED.)

[ a wolf. of course a fucking wolf. although a peacock would have been more fitting. ]
my kicks are even stronger than before. i can definitely beat you in a race.
[ that might be, literally, the only good thing that's happened. his aim is still shit because he's not training with anyone, not even himself, and his nerves have been shot since the change, as if he's inherited all the skittishness of a real fucking rabbit. his bloodlust, at least, has been curbed since connecting with nami, though he does find himself tempted by vegetables.
he's not even going to mention his fucking ears. ]
it's easier being alone than around people.
that's not who i am though, and everyone thinks something's wrong with me already, so if i say that, it'll make things worse.
is koby taking care of you?

(It really would have been. Mihawk wouldn't even deny that.)
Probably.
(Although he was faster now as a wolf, he had gained far more strength than speed. He was fine with that trade-off. He wasn't quite as fine with his own set of ears and tail. Both didn't seem to get the memo about his stoic bullshit. He had zero control over them and life was the worst because of it.
Fuck them ears!)
Why would you think everyone assumes something is wrong with you? I mean besides your less than savory personality.
(WOW.)
I do not need anyone to "take care" of me.
(.........

Koby is living with me now. We figured it was a more appropriate arrangement.
(CLEARING HIS THROAT.)
I take it Zoro and Nami are making sure you have what you need?
Probably.
