Dracule Mihawk was having a terrible day. He was sitting on a bench as the snow piled high and he groaned loudly. He looks away for five seconds and he loses the stupid kid, what are the chances? Very high, knowing his luck.

When Shanks had mentioned losing his arm for a kid, Mihawk had played it off as a stupid decision. Honestly though, he understood the feeling perfectly. Wanting to protect something to the point of losing one's limbs for them was all to understandable for Dracule Mihawk. He covered his eyes and groaned.

"Drake!" He heard. Standing in front of him was a little boy with cold tired eyes. He was holding a dead bird in one hand and the other was tucked into his little jacket.

"Where have you been?" Mihawk asked, picking the little boy up. The boy jiggled the bird in front of his face to answer the question.

"I'm gonna dissect it later," the boy said. Mihawk rolled his eyes.

"You should tell me before you go running off," Mihawk said. The little boy shrugged and shivered a little.

"Would you like some perfume?" A shop vendor asked.

"How about some magic potions?" Another tried. They were in the market area of the town and all of the sellers were trying to sell as much as they could. Pushing their items onto everyone who passed by. The little boy started to cough, curling into Mihawk a little more.

"Hello sir, are you interested in buying some scarves today?" The vendor asked the dark haired man when he stopped in front of the stall.

"No," Mihawk said, "I'm interested in that." He pointed to a white fuzzy hat with brown polkadots decorating the bottom and midsection.

"Excellent choice," the vendor said, accepting the money and handing over the hat, "for your son?"

"No," Mihawk said, adjusting the little sleeping boy in his arms into a more comfortable position.

"Oh, I'm sorry, he just looked a lot like you," the vendor said.

"Well," Mihawk said as he fit the hat onto the boy's head, "he should. He's my little brother."


Just an idea that popped into my head. Any clues onto who the little brother is? I just think that it's totally possible. It would be so cute too! Haha, just my opinion. Review if you want more! Thank you!
