(Third Person POV)
Three years since all that jazz had happened & the two have kept it to themselves, mostly because Shaw doesn't want Koala worrying even more the usual, it just pains him. The fact is, when it comes to Feb the 15 or close to that date, Osore decides to pay a visit to torment him, to push him over his limit
But Tom has unexpectedly come to Shaw's aid whenever he gets too depressed & douses himself with that crystal fluid to knock him out, Tom has become a reliable friend to Shaw since then
Other then that, everything's been pretty alright. Koala & Shaw's relationship has been flawless, its fantastic! They're so deeply in love, it'll take a disaster to ruin their love for each other. Koala's grown taller, by a tiny bit & her hair has also grown much longer too… Shaw finds it hot
Oh! Another thing, Luffy became the pirate king & he's currently 23! Shaw & Sabo are so proud of him, same with Ace! He really did get himself a girlfriend, her name was Matangaro but they call her Mama for short, she's so beautiful & cute, plus she's just as hyperactive like their younger brother
"I wasn't planning this until ages away, but I can't wait to get back to Makino & the others!" Shaw cheered as he sat on the railing rather childishly with a 26 year old Sabo sitting beside him while he was 30 years old
"Coming from the one who saw her 3 years ago!" he laughed to himself & smiled to himself
"Right." the blonde duo were able to contact the ravenettes & they were told that the Whitebeard Pirates had gotten Luke & Marilyn, they were a little wary with his mother but they let her on... reluctantly
Shaw had grown quite a bit, instead of growing a moustache like his father, he was growing an actually beard but he has a goatee instead while his hair was long enough to be braided by his girlfriend, Koala! But he usually keeps it in a low ponytail, he then scratches his bearded chin
"I heard women love a man with a goatee."
"Then why aren't you growing one if you've got a woman?"
"Its hard..." Sabo complained
"Not really..." Shaw replied confidently, Sabo just punched him in the jaw, but that basically did nothing but crack Sabo's wrist
"Ow!!"
"Haha." he teased, that was until he felt a hand on his cheek
"But Sabo–kun is right, a woman loves a man with a beard, but your goatee feels much better." Koala cooed as she caressed her cheek against his, Sabo rolls his eyes while rolling his wrist
"Whatever you guys."
"There's no need to be jealous, Sabo–kun." Keisha had come by & kissed his cheek, Sabo blushed at that & leaned into Keisha's touch, oh how he loved how smooth her skin was, he loved everything about her
"Makino & Dadan are going to love you guys." Sabo nodded
"Totally!" Shaw & Sabo fist bump, Koala & Keisha look at each other & giggle before hugging the two boys
"Shawn!" he perks up at his name & looks to see it was Will that called his name "We're approaching an island, & I know that you recognize this island." both Shaw & Sabo started grinning before looking over, it was Dawn Island
"Yeah!" they had noticed that Luffy & Ace had beaten them home but they didn't really care, as long as their home, its all goods. They docked the ship & they quickly sprung off the ship & towards Makino's bar, what they didn't know was that... Garp was there as well
"Where have you knuckleheads been?!" he shouted as he hugged the three boys, counting Luke, who was there & Garp thought it was Shaw
"Places!!" he then bounded their heads in "WHY?!"
"What did I do...?!" Luke cried out, before Garp could answer he heard
"Granddad!" he looked over & his eyes widened
"S–Shaw…?" he looked down at Luke before looking up at Shaw "Wha--… I–I am so confused." Shaw helped them all up but flicked his head
"What the hell?! We discussed this already! You don't hit us anymore, we're grown men & you shouldn't treat us like children anymore, plus, why'd you hit my twin brother?!"
"Twin?!" his eyes widened & he looked at the ASLL
"That's right, he doesn't know." they nodded
"Mm, we totally forgot." Marilyn had been trying to explain to him how she had twins but he kept on ranting at the boys on not being Marines
"I may be disappointed that you four became pirates, but family is still family in my books! Bring it here!" Garp hugged the four while laughing, the ASL tried getting out of his grip while Shaw laughed with him & hugged him back
"Let us go!!"
"Your crushing us!"
"How come Shaw's enjoying this?!"
"Because, I enjoy granddad's company." they stare at him with widened eyes but he merely shrugs it off, Garp sets them down & ruffles their heads
"See! Shaw is the most respectful one!"
"Not really, oh wait, have you meet Shelby yet?" they shook their heads "Makino, where's Shelby?"
"Oh, I'll go get him!" she quickly did & in came the cute little red head himself "Ace, Sabo, Luffy! I'd like you to meet Shelby." he waved
"Hi! I'm Shelby, everyone likes calling me Shelly though! I'm 5!"
"He's so cute…"
"Who's the father?"
"Who knows." Shaw chuckled & bent down to Shelby & ruffled his head
"You still have my hat I gave you kiddo." Shelby giggled
"Yeah!"
"See!" Shaw looked over to see the ASL, or just Ace & Sabo, shocked "You act like a father!"
"Really?" everyone in the room nodded "Alrighty then." Makino rolled her eyes & pulled Shaw & Sabo into a hug, Dadan following after
"Its a miracle that you two blond dorks are alive!" Dadan exclaimed "I mean, we were all told you died!"
"Heh, yeah! Sorry about that, we didn't mean to scare you." Makino felt a tug on her dress so she looked down, it was Shelby & he had a confused look on his face
"Mommy, what is Dadan–san talking about? What does, died mean?" they all give her a look, she breaks the hug & crouches down to his height
"Died is the past tense of dead, & dead means… um, taking a nap & never waking up?"
"Nice one." she shrugs
"Why won't they wake up? Are they lazy?" she shook her head with a smile
"Its kinda the way of life, Shelby–kun."
"Will it happen to me?" she looks at him a little shocked, everyone did. She picks him up & nuzzels her nose on his
"Hopefully not to soon." Luffy grinned at the 5 year old
"Yeah! Don't end up like these two!" they give him a glare
"Ah hahaha! Very funny."
"I know!" they roll their eyes before Shaw pulled the ASL into a group hug
"It feels so great to be with you losers again after these four (counting the year where Osore appeared) years!" they grinned
"Totally!"
