If not for the fact all those fools out there were so fuckin' infatuated with you for reasons Mihawk's truly doubts he'll understand in this life, or the next... The swordsman would have killed you himself. And was it a wee bit petty for Crocodile and himself to be this petty n' stuck up over the fact those fools who had not one workin' braincell believed you were the one who was runnin' the whole damn Cross Guild... Huh. The notion itself was just absurd! In fact, Mihawk would go as far as to say it was idiotic, but alas! There was very little that Mihwak could do 'bout your oh, so devouted followers in general either. Admittedly, they were pretty useful when it came down to protectin' the Cross Guild n' stuff... Eh. Mihawk supposes he doesn't mind them too bad, but only because they were slight use of him and it was quite entertaining to watch them on their knees grovelin' n' reverin' you as if you were some sort of savior, or somethin'? Pfft... Goodness, they were the farthest from the truth, in fact, it was the other way 'round, bein' how him and Crocodile regularly were inconvenienced and had to save your precious lil' ass from dangers way.

Goodness gracious, what a lil' spoiled princess you were. And God forbid, if there was even the tiniest of scratches n' such marring your skin there was no way Mihawk wouldn't know. As your cryin' was far too loud n' girlish to simply ignore and maybe even relish in as he would go with his own victims outside the brutes he has to defend you from, of course. Mihawk kills these people with his own freewill and not simply because he would rather avoid a whole ass riot 'cause those other idiots wanted to avenge you n' stuff. Something he wouldn't put past him at all, really.
