My Life With A Hawk {Mihawk X Reader}

The Strongest Swordsman

(Y/n) pov

I stared at the food sitting on the night table contemplating on if it's poisoned or not. 'He wouldn't help me just to kill me right.' I pick up the fork and stab a strawberry, slowly bringing it to my lips. I hesitate and smell it first and let out a sigh. "If he wanted to kill me he wouldn't need poison." I say to myself before opening my mouth, taking a bite of the fresh strawberry. 'Mmmm it's so good'. It's been so long since I've tasted food that the flavor explodes in my mouth.

I eat all the fruit, and drink the water, soothing my sore throat, making it feel so much better.

I look around and see a small door on the other side of the room. I slowly get to my feet holding on to the post of the bed steadying my legs before limping over and opening the door. I'm greeted with a very large bathroom with a huge Garden tub on one end and a shower on the other, with a long counter in between. I stand there gawking at my reflection in the mirror. I have an extremely dark black eye on the right side.

My black eye and the gash on my right leg are my only two injuries left. 'I can't believe I was asleep for 8 days. I'm surprised I survived.'

I hobble over to the bathtub and start the water, pouring in some of the scented bath soaps that were sitting on the edge of the tub.

I slip into the warm water and let out a huge sigh, and wince at the slight pain it causes on my leg wound. I just sit in the comforting waterers holding my knees and sob softly to myself wondering how the hell my life got to where it's at. I sit there in a state of tranquillity lost in my thoughts thinking about the events that led me to this Island.

FLASHBACK

I'm standing on the deck of my ship inhaling the saltiness of the breeze from the sea when my first mate Xaiver walks up behind me. "Hey Captain did you make a decision about what we talked about last night?""Yes, and my answer is no. There will just be too many casualties." Xavier growls at my response and storms off.

"I don't know how much longer I can keep this up, the crew seems more bloodthirsty than I wanted. I might have to just name Xavier captain and settle down on some Island."

--------------------

I'm ripped from my sleep by a shooting pain going up my leg. I begin to scream as I sit up and see a knife protruding out of my leg. " WHAT THE FUCK"

I look around and five of my crew members including Xaiver my first mate are standing in my bedroom, huddled around my bed.

Before I can even open my mouth to say anything else they all attack and start punching, pulling, kicking and slashing at me. I can't even fight back I'm completely helpless. I guess before I could give up my title as Captain they just decided to take it from me. 'I guess this is how I die.'

My Consciousness starts to fade in and out as I feel then pick me up and take me somewhere. I get thrown into one of our small lifeboats, and they send me off to die. The bastards didn't even have the balls to finish me off themselves.

END FLASHBACK

3rd person pov

Your jolted from your thoughts when your face sinks under the water as you slide down and can't breath.

You instantly sit up coughing and coming back to what is your current reality.

You pull yourself up and onto the side of the tub, grabbing a towel that was hanging on the rack and wrap it around your delicate body. A few more tears trickle down your face as you still can't grasp the reality that your own crew betrayed you.

When you walk back into what is your temporary room you see fresh clothes laying on your bed for you. "Who the hell is this guy and why is he helping me?"

You slip on the pants, boots and shirt, noticing that they're just your size and fit you perfectly.  'Did he already have these. Or did he go get these while I was asleep?' You wonder to yourself.

After you get dressed you muster up the courage and open the bedroom door and step out into a long hallway.

The more you walk around the stronger your legs feel and your limp becomes less although your leg still hurts like hell. As you wonder around the mansion, or Castle you can't quite figure out what it is, you soon come upon a very large kitchen and see your mysterious savior, or captor you still haven't figured that out yet either. He was standing at the stove with his back to you preparing what smelled like fish.

You very hesitantly open your mouth to speak, but before you can get a word out. "You can walk around the castle freely you don't have to be scared." "Ummmmm okay." You whisper.

Mihawk sighs and turns to look at you but you immediately divert his gaze to the floor. He sighs again and walks over to you. You feel his powerful presence right in front of you. This causes you to immediately shut your eyes. You then feel fingers under your chin as he lifts your face to meet his. He sighs once more when he sees your eyes firmly clamped shut. Your legs begin to shake as your heart speeds up in fear.

He can feel the fear emanating from you and releases your chin and backs away. "Please open your eyes" Mihawk says with annoyance in his voice. You reluctantly do as he asks as a few tears spill from your (e/c) orbs.

Even though you've opened your eyes you still can't meet his piercing golden gaze and just rest your eyes on his halfway exposed chest.

"I'm not going to hurt you. There is no need for you to feel fear here." His voice is smooth and calm.

You feel only a little bit better from his words and then he motions for you to sit at the table. "Sit, lunch will be ready in a few minutes." You do as he asks and go into the next room and sit in one of the chairs at a very long table.

You take in a deep breath and try to steady your racing heart. By the time he comes in with lunch a few minutes later you've completely calm down. He places two plates of grilled fish and rice on the table as well a two glasses. "I hope you like red wine" he says porring the liquid in your glass. "Yes actually I do" you let a tiny smile temporarily ghost your lips, this does not go unnoticed by Mihawk, but he says nothing.

"So how did you end up on Kuraigana Island?"

Your eyes never leave your plate as you push your food around, and  reluctantly start to tell him about what happened with your former crew and a few more tears slip out once again. You can't understand how you could possibly still have any left to shed.

"That is extremely unforgivable that something like that should ever happen to a woman, let alone a captain. I can understand why your so afraid."

He stands up from the table and walks towards you once again placing his fingers under your chin making you look at him, this time you lock eyes with the golden eyed man.

"Do not fear me (y/n)" he says as he brings his other hand up and caresses  your bruised eye gently with the back of his fingers.

"Who are you? I have this feeling that I should know, but can't figure it out."

I'm a shichibukai, "My name is Dracula Mihawk, also known as Hawkeyes. The strongest swordsman in the world". He says with a smirk.

Your eyes go wide as realization sets in as to who the man before you is. You now know exactly who he is. You have never met Mihawk before, but have heard many tales of a swordsman called Hawkeyes.

"HOLLY SHIT.....I was saved by the strongest swordsman in the world."
