Mihawk Immediately Calls And Tells Shanks If He Ever Catches Sight Of Him Again He Will Take His Other Arm - Tumblr Posts
I don’t know why, maybe because I’ve been on a Garp kick lately.
But I do really think that Garp kind of became like a surrogate Uncle to the Roger boys and by extension Mihawk. Like I can just imagine Roger telling them that if they were ever separated from the crew or if something ever happened to him or Ray and they needed help they should go to Garp (I mean he entrusted his own baby to him it makes sense he’d also entrust his boys)
(for whatever reason Mihawk got this talk too despite him already traveling by himself and not being officially part of Rogers crew. But since Ray adopted him he’s Roger’s brat as well)
All this to say that Garp takes his uncle duties very seriously and what is an uncle if not an inconvenience and an embarrassment?
So Ofcourse he pulls up to Kuriagina during the timeskip (Hawain shirt and all) to visit his new grand babies (read Perona and Zoro) that he’s heard so much about. (read shanks immediately gossiped with him abou mt after stumbling upon them last time he came to visit Mihawk)
And because Garp is essentially the one piece equivalent of Florida man, this goes well for absolutely nobody
Except Zoro who is nothing if not a troll. And game must recognize game.
The monkeys love him tho, he communicates with them on a wavelength nobody can quite understand least of all Garp.
