Impossible to Vanquish
Another One Piece fan fic, I've been watching some theories and so…what if Hawkeye Mihawk tries to defeat Zoro's Asura as he tries to fufil his dream?
An impossible battle, it was almost invincible. Mihawk remembered, he had trained that thing…Zoro's Asura, the demon in his left eye. Yet, a swordsman could not just sit down and let it slash at him, no matter what it was. Mihawk chose to fight, and fight he did. His sword slashed at air, unable to catch up with the demonic Zoro. Dark Zoro grinned, already having pierced Mihawk in the side. Mihawk stared at his missing rib cage in shock…how? How could he be so fast? Faster than…its master? Dark Zoro turned its back to Mihawk in premature victory, Mihawk sliced its back. For a moment he just stared at his sword, no blood on it, just a slice of wind.
A sharp pain pierced through Mihawk's chest, he stared at Dark Zoro behind him, his vision fading.
He felt…happy, to be relieved of the title of the best swordsman, he felt sad for leaving his son behind. He felt sorrowful for him, that he couldn't explain why he left, and why he wasn't coming back, but instead a demon would come and ravage his castle. He hoped his son would be able to leave, but at the same time, wished for him to stay. To be with him in the afterlife, and not hunting for the Asura to avenge his father. Mihawk drifted off, slipping into the darkness, forced to see Dark Zoro leave in the distance to his castle as he died. Forced to hear his son's screams and the clash of swords. Forced to regret, to feel. Forced to sob until sounds and lights meant nothing and cold and blackness meant everything.
