Mihawk x Reader When Shanks Does A Bad

Ending: Mihawk

"Mihawk. I choose Mihawk."

The happiness that flared in his eyes was almost too bright to look at. Shanks' grip on your arm got tighter, and he whimpered. "Shanks... Don't. Please." You gently pushed his hand away, trying to ignore the pain in his eyes.

"(Y/N)?"

You gently took his face in your hands. "Shanks." He laid his hand over yours. You leaned forward and gently kissed him, straight on the mouth. "Tell Benn I said bye, okay?"

Shanks nodded, almost crying.

"Don't worry, Shanks. I'll visit, okay?"

"Okay."

Turning, you ran toward Mihawk, throwing yourself into his arms. Laughing, he caught you and spun you in a circle, putting you on your feet and kissing you. "Thank you." He murmured. "Thank you so much." Taking your hands in his, he lead you behind him, taking you onto his boat.

And so, you headed out onto the wide ocean, for once without the company of your red-haired captain. Mihawk pulled you close to him and you sighed quietly. You were going to miss Shanks. You were going to miss him a lot.

But you would be okay so long as you had Mihawk.

~One Year Later~

You wiggled with excitement, almost jumping in place. After all this time, you would finally be able to see your old captain again. "Mihawk!"

"Hmm?" Mihawk yawned as he moved closer to you, hugging you from behind. "Wha' is it?"

"We're almost there, sleepy head."

"Mm."

You turned and kissed him before walking over to a small basket and reaching for the baby inside. "Come here, sweetie."

Your baby, who was born with a head of pitch black hair and who's eyes has proven to be as gold as his father's, smiled up at you, reaching out with on tiny fist.

"Do you think Shanks'll like Ryu?"

"Why wouldn't he?" Mihawk gently rubbed his son's head, the little boy grabbing hold of his daddy's sleeve and refusing to let go. You put Ryu in Mihawk's arms, where apparently he wanted to be, and went to the head of the boat again, watching the land get steadily closer.

~~~

"Shanks! Shanks!" You ran across the beach, Mihawk following slower behind.

"(Y/N)?" A voice called out and you barreled towards it.

"BEEEENNN!" You slammed into him, tackling him to ground and burying your face in his chest. "HOW ARE YOU?"

"Oh, great. I'm with Shanks now, we have nine kids."

"That's beautiful, Benn."

Mihawk finally caught up and looked between you. "I'd rather not know what conversation I just walked into." He nodded at Benn. "Beckman."

Benn raised a hand. "Hawk-Eyes."

Benn led the way to where his captain was having yet another party, drinking himself silly. You ran forward, hugging that one-armed idiot. "SHANKS!!"

"(Y/N)?!?" He hugged you back, rubbing his face in his hair. "I MISSED YOU!"

"I MISSED YOU TOO!" Laughing you looked up at him. "Benn said you're with him now and you have nine kids."

"Yeah, sure, we'll go with that."

You laughed again and for a moment, his face in your hair, his arm around you, the sound of your crew laughing... It was like you'd never been apart. Never been anything but a member of the Red-Haired Pirates.

But then you had to remind yourself that it wasn't your crew anymore. It was Shanks' crew. Pulling away, you felt a twinge of regret for a moment, but it was quickly smothered when Mihawk walked up. Your gorgeous man, holding the son you'd made together.

"Shanks, there's someone I want you to meet."

He tipped his head. "Hmm? Who? I already know Hawk-Eyes, but if you forgot, I'll act like I don't know him."

You laughed. "No, Shanks, that's fine." You took your son into your arms and presented him to Shanks. "This is Ryu. My son."

Shanks gasped, gently touching your son's face. Ryu giggled and grabbed Shanks' hand, attempting to suck on his fingers.

"I want you to be the godfather, Shanks."

Shanks looked up at you, surprise in his eyes. "Me?"

"Of course!" You placed the child in the redhead's arms, and he looked down at the boy, love slowly lighting in his eyes. "You're like a father to me, Shanks. It only makes sense that you'd be the one to watch my son if something happens."

"Don't. Don't say that." Mihawk hugged you from behind. "I'll never let anyone touch you."

You leaned against him, happy. You had Mihawk and the son you'd made with him. You had Shanks, who you knew would always be there for you. Benn and Yasopp and everyone else on the crew that had once been your own.

You may not have great power, or treasure like the One Piece. But you felt like you had everything in the world.
