(Just saying, the scar on Shaw's left eye is like a mixture of Sabo's & Zoro's, but he can open that eye)
(Shawn POV)
I chuckle as Luffy held onto me with his dear life, I was 17 now, Ace is 13 while Luffy is 10. As we promised, we were going to set sail at the age of 17, like me right now. I've gotten control over my devil fruit kinda, I'm also much taller then before. Ace said I look more muscular then when I was 14, I've kinda matured a lot but I'm still perverted too
"Don't go!" I chuckle, he wrapped his arms around my torso multiple times & everyone was pulling his legs while trying to make him let go... didn't work though "I don't want you to go Shaw!" I ruffle his hair
"Don't worry! In 7 more years we'll meet again!" he looks up at me with teary eyes
"... promise?"
"Promise!" he slowly unwrapped his arms from me & was flown backwards into the others, since they were still trying to get him off me. He comes running back & I crouch down & hug him, noted, I am very tall compared to the other two "Be good for Ace, okay?" he nods his head
"I will...!" I heard Ace scoff, I turn over & look at him to see he was looking away with his arms crossed
"Whatever, like he will." I walk over to Ace & crouch down to his height, he looks up at me & was lightly blushing "But... I-I'll miss you too, Shaw." I chuckle & tilt my head to the side
"What a sudden change in character for you, Ace~" his blush darkened as he glared at me
"Shut up! Are you leaving or what?!" I laugh this time & bring both Luffy & Ace into a hug, they hug me back
"Okay okay! Just wanted to say one last goodbye to you two!" Luffy smiled up at me, I put the two down & stretch my back, before I left I felt something place on my head "Huh?" it was a hat, a top hat to be precise

"Its my parting gift, to you Shaw-kun." I look at Makino & saw she was smiling brightly, so I grin at her before hugging her while twirling her in the air
"Thank you, Makino!" she giggled, I set her down & kissed her cheek "I love it."
"Looks lovely on you." I hear a whistle & I saw Volpina, I wave at her "I'll miss you too, Volpina-chan!"
"Same too you, Makino-sama! Now hurry up Boss-sama!"
"I'll will!" I grab my bag & slung it over my shoulder, I made sure I had my pistols before clenching my fists & the same reddish aura surrounded them

"HenkaSuru: Washi!" Volpina slowly grew wings & was growing bigger, she was a full side to ride on so I jump on her back
"Reading to go, Boss-sama?" she asked, I grin at her & nodded but remembered something
"Hold up, Magra! Give this to Dadan when you get the chance, I'd do it personally but I don't have time!" he smiles & takes it from
"Of course!" I smile & Volpina slowly flaps her wings & flies off
"I can't wait to see your faces in the Grand Line, kiddos!"
(Ace POV)
We all waved Shaw goodbye & when I looked at Luffy he was pretty sad, I ruffle his head & he looked up at me. I smile at him & slowly his smile reflects mine & we all walk back up the mountain
"Hey hey! Magra, what is it?"
"Its a letter."
"What's it say?" I put my hand on Luffy's shoulder & he looked at me
"We'll find out after Dadan reads it."
"Okay…" we reached the hut & Magra handed it to Dadan
"What's this?"
"Its a letter from Shaw! He said he'd give it to you personally but he didn't have enough time." I notice her roll her eyes as she tore into the envelop & grabbed the letter from inside of it… a few moments later she broke down into tears
"That idiot! What makes him think I'll forgive him!" the bandits started comforting her as Luffy quickly snatched the letter & ran over to us
"What's it say what's it say?!"
"Dear Dadan,
Its been so lovely these 3 years being looked after by you. I'm terribly sorry if we've or I personally caused you any trouble & I beg for your forgiveness, mostly when we first met.
In my opinion, I didn't really like bandits… but you guys, you guys are the best people that has ever looked after me. I love you Dadan & I see you as another mother, like Makino.
P.S: You are the third best person whose looked after me by far!
Yours Sincerely, Takashi D. Shawn."
"No wonder why Dadan broke down into tears, this letter sounds so sweet." I look over & noticed Luffy was crying
"T-That's so nice of him!"
"OI DON'T YOU START CRYING NOW!!" he started crying even more & I sigh, bit I smile & bring him into a hug "I'm gonna miss him."
"& I'm sure he's gonna miss us, but you more importantly, Luffy." I felt him hug me back & I lightly smile
'I don't know what Shaw's been talking about, he's the best brother anyone could ever ask for!'
