You had attended the fight against the marines in Marineford and defended Luffy without hesitation, which led to you facing your first love from long ago. Hawk-eye Mihawk, the greatest swordsman in the world fell in love with you long ago, yet that was a long time ago… that wasn’t important. You held him back long enough before he seriously injured you, causing you to pass out.

Mihawk carried you all the way back to Kuraigana island, where he had Perona patch you up, yet you were out cold for several days, it had him worried to the core… he never showed or expressed it.. Mihawk read silently as he drank his wine, sitting on his chair, Perona had gone out to look for Zoro since she was worried he might’ve gotten lost looking for a ship.

Mihawk had gotten up, leaving his wine and book behind to check on you, and had found you awake, sitting up before spotting Mihawk leaning on the doorway as his hawk-like eyes were on you, his cold demeanor nor expression not breaking one bit as he gazed at the one he loved so long ago.

“Don’t get out of bed, you’ll re-open your wound, that gash in your stomach wasn’t pretty”
