It just... it just happened so sudden for me, Whitebeard is crouching down & was hugging me, I felt tears land on my shoulder & my eyes widened on what he said
"W-What... did you say...?" I asked as I started tearing up
(Earlier That Day)
I woke up with the feeling of the sun on my face, I groggily open my eyes & my top hat barely covered my eyes from the sun. I stood up but then stumbled over someone, I recollected myself & made my way to the kitchen, where I found Thatch & the other cooks
"Oh hey Shawn!"
"You can call me Shaw if you want."
"Hmm, okay!" I laugh lightly & sat on the table as I cross my legs "So how was your beauty sleep blondey?" I chuckle
"I give it an eh if you ignore the headaches & when I tripped over someone." he laughed at that "& how about you?"
"I miraculously found myself in my room this morning, I was confused how I got there but... at least I was sleeping out on the deck." I nod
"Lucky you."
"Hey, think you can help me set the table." I quickly set the table as Thatch handed me plates & I set them down on the table, I also put extra things there like fruit & other shit like that "Catch!" he threw a chunk of meat & I started drooling as I jump up & caught it before digging my teeth into it & tearing the meat off it
"Thank you." he sweat dropped
"Your such an animal."
"Thank you!" I laugh at his expression, for the ASLS its normal for us to eat like savages then normal people, but since I was raised to be a noble those past 8 years, I still have manners
"Oh, here they come!" I laugh even harder when a few stumbled in, they grabbed their fair share of food & Whitebeard walked in
"Hey big guy! Yah hungry?!" he shook his head & lightly smiled
"Sake would be nice though."
"Yo Shaw! Catch!" I was suddenly chucked a giant bottle of sake & I barely caught it, but I did on time, I slowly toss it towards Whitebeard & he caught it
"Thanks, kiddo." I grin, Izo then approached me
"Here Shaw-san, you said you might need gloves so I found these." he handed me black buckle up gloves & I grin at them

(Let's just say the gloves are able to cover his whole hand!)
"Thank you, these are so neat!" I put them on & I suddenly smirk "Very neat."
"Oi Shaw-yoi, come eat!"
(Third Person POV)
Whitebeard watched as his crew enjoyed Shaw's company, he seemed to bring smiles wherever he looked. Marco was eating when he suddenly asked this question out of nowhere
"What's your mothers name?"
"My mother?"
"Yeah, your a D. so I was wondering if your a D. from your dad or mothers side-yoi."
"I'm not really sure about my dad, but my mother's full name was Clarity D. Marilyn, something was after the D. but I don't know what it is." Whitebeard's eyes widened as he intensively stared at Shaw
"Marilyn sounds so familiar, do you know that name pops?" they all look at Whitebeard & he slowly shrugged his shoulders
"Marilyn, does sound familiar b-but, you never know!" he started laughing & everyone else joined in but Shaw just stared at him
'Why did he stutter?'
"Hey Boss-sama, are you okay?" he looks over at Volpina & saw she had a dazed look "Your spacing out."
"Says the one who looks drunk." she chuckled
"Yeah, I had a very nice sleep." suddenly she started drooling, he sweat dropped before looking back at Whitebeard, they were both having a staring contest
"Hey pops, is something the matter-yoi?" Marco asked, he seemed to have the notice the tension going on between the two, Whitebeard snapped out of it & lightly smiled
"No no, everything is fine Marco. But, Shaw," he looks up at him "I'd like to see you when you have time." was all he said before getting up & leave
"Whoa, did you do something Shaw?" he shrugged
"I hope not." Shaw was planning on seeing Whitebeard after that but he was more busier then he thought, the crew kept on asking him for help & those tasks took awhile to complete
"I've been meaning to ask you but, how'd you get that scar?" Jozu asked as he pointed to his left eye, he slowly lifted his hand up & touched his scarred eye
"It happened when I was 14 on the island I was on, a fire started & it was raging out of control. Pirates started it by the way, well one of them had a sword & it slashed my eye, then he kicked me to the ground & it got burnt." Jozu seemed to have flinched at that
"That's gotta hurt, & you were 14?" he nods
"Yes." Jozu scratched the back of his neck & felt bad for him "Hey now, its all in the past & it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Well you have one bright blue eye & a very hallow & dull one." the sun had just set & Shaw was standing outside while leaning on the railing & staring up at the sky
"I hate how I can barely see through my left eye..." he muttered, he shook his head & headed towards Whitebeard's room, he was in front of his door so being polite, he knocked on it
"Come in!" he walks in & he saw Whitebeard sitting on the edge of his bed "Ah, evening Shawn."
"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Oh, sit down would you?" he sat down on a chair & looked up at him "Your mothers name was Clarity D. Marilyn, yes?" he nods
"Correct."
"& she had another last name after the D., yes?" he nods again
"Correct." Whitebeard was quiet for awhile, he looked to the side & there was a picture of a women with pure blonde hair & childish freckles on her face "Where are you going with this?"
"Have you met your mother...?"
"No."
"How do you know her name?"
"Because of this letter, I still have it on me even though its been 3 years since I found out about it." he went through his pocket & eventually he found the letter & pulled it out & handed it to him "I'm... I-I'm trying to find them, if they're really out there." Whitebeard intensively stared at the letter, the handwriting or more specifically... her name
"After all these years..."
"Huh?" Whitebeard stood up & hugged the boy
"I've finally found you... my son." he whispered the last part & Shaw's eyes widened
"W-What... did you say...?" he stuttered why tearing up, was Whitebeard really his father?
