I'm so sorry for how late this chapter is! Drama just started (we're doing 'The Pirates of Penzance' And I'm a pirate! Only female playing as a male the entire time! Ahaha! Dream come true… For being a pirate of course!), and I need to get my senior stuff finished without distractions so I took a little break. I'm also making my cosplays… So I'm busy X_X Don't be mad! Hopefully I'll get back to my regular Updating routine here soon.
Beware OOC and lameness. I got this up in a hurry, so mistakes will be fixed sooner or later.
Anywho, I put Garp and the Shichibukai into the same chapter here (And Boa). So expect hilarity and Mihawk… Cause I love him so. Boa… I really couldn't make her own chapter, I detest her too much! Haha.
Reasoning for the absence of some Shichibukai: Kuma is a mindless doll now… No point for meetings. Yeah, story is going slight AU since I refuse to kill Ace in this story. He was alive when I made it, so there. BlackBeard isn't there, cause… Well… Look at recent events in the manga. So there's Mihawk, Boa, Doflamingo, and Moria with Sengoku and Garp thrown in.
Expect a little bit of MiSha… Cause it's grand and you know it, in the next chappie as well.

Curiosity
-----
Monkey D. Garp was not known for having control over his temper. In fact, it would be better to say that he was known for his short fuse and the violence that occurred during one of his temper tantrums.
This is one such occasion.
"WHAT. THE. HELL. IS. THIS?!"
SLAM! CRACK!
The meeting table cracked, leaving a lovely imprint of Garp's fist into mahogany wood. Sengoku sighed heavily, and closed his eyes, carefully counting to ten…
One…
"Why the HELL is this in the newspaper?! Who woul-"
Two…
"-d do this? And why the FU-"
Three…
"- IS RORONOA MOLESTING MY GRANDSON?!"
Fou- wait. What?
"What?!" The Shichibukai voiced Sengoku's thoughts as the marine supreme commander snatched the newspaper from Garp and took a gander at the front page.
Eyes widened even more before he threw paper away from himself, feeling disgusted.
The paper that Sengoku now named 'evil' landed neatly in a folded form in front of Mihawk, hiding the front image from view. Golden eyes peered down at the paper, his expression not even hinting at the curiosity he felt. In all reality, Mihawk was a very curious person; he wouldn't be here at the meeting if he wasn't. But he wanted to see that picture, especially ever since his and Roronoa's duel, the look of desperateness that the straw hat held when he had send the teen to the ocean with a well placed slice, and the tears the swordsman had spilled for the blue eyed Captain for failing.
Brining up his hands, Mihawk grabbed the paper and was about to open it, looking a lot like someone sitting on a bench in a large city about to read the paper…
When it was snatched out of his hands by Doflamingo, who had got up from his seat, onto the table, and crossed over to Mihawk, taking the paper.
The World's Greatest Swordsman's hands stayed as if the item was still there, yellow eyes blinked slowly before his hands lowered, and his intense gazed lied on the now hysterically laughing 'newspaper bandit'.
"This is just too great! FUFUFU!!!" Pink feathers flew up in the air as he sat down roughly on the tabletop, continuing his laughter. "How interesting."
Moria took the paper from the flamboyant man, the shadow stealer took one look before his dark eyes widened with disgust; throwing the paper away from himself.
"That is DISGUSTING! UAH!"
The large zombie-like man shuddered and stuck out his tongue, making gagging noises.
Mihawk paid no attention to the moron, since the paper had landed in front of him yet again; neatly folded.
A sly smile reached onto Mihawk's features at the paper's return before reaching out for it. He made to open it, when it was yet again taken from his grasp.
A deadly glare was sent at the retreating back of Doflamingo, who was crossing the table, heading for Boa, paper being waved like a flag over his head-
-Wait. Wasn't Boa obsessed over Luffy?
Garp seemed to think this as well, as his ranting stopped as he watched the pink clad man approach the unusually quiet woman.
She had been silent the entire time.
The room seemed to grow cold as the blond slapped the paper onto the table the downcast eye line of Boa Hancock.
"Look! Look! Straw Hat's gay! And with the swordsman! Fufufu! What do you think of that?!"
The room grew colder, and Mihawk found himself grabbing the hilt of his massive sword out of instinct. Garp, Moria, and Sengoku seemed to have similar worried thoughts as they eyed the windows and the doors.
Possible escape routes: doors, windows, making a hole in the floor-
SLAM! CRACK!
Boa slammed her own hands on the table around the paper as she glared at it so ferociously, Garp and Mihawk were surprised the combustible material didn't burst into flames. Sengoku was more worried for the table, it couldn't handle another blow! He looked at the sharp jagged cracks in the highly expensive wood.
That would be a pain to fix.
Nail marks were added to the table as Boa dragged her 'claws' down the wood, slowly, everyone winced at the grinding noise it cause.
"H-he, he…!" She ground out, before looking up from the paper, suddenly bolting upright in her chair and the table went flying with a furious haki powered kick.
The table was sent through the window with a great crash, disappearing out of sight before it even hit the water. Sengoku watched it helplessly, making a mental note to make the new meeting desk out of steel, or something…
Doflamingo ended up on the floor in a massive pink laughing fit, feathers cascading down on his that had come loose from his coat. The man just wouldn't stop laughing, having gotten the wanted reaction from the Princess. The ever present snake that accompanied Boa everywhere had slithered away in fear of the anger that came off the woman in waves, hiding behind Moria, he made a good shield.
Mihawk still sat in his seat, eyes following the newspaper as it gently tumbled in the air like a leaf. He watched it descend softly into his lap, and the man blinked before snatching it, rolling it up quickly, and stuffing it partially into the waist band of his pants.
No one would dare take it now.
His small inner victory however, was cut off by Boa's verbal screams that pierced through his sensitive ears making him want to grimace and hold his ears:
"HE CHEATED ON ME!"
All noises ceased as every pair of eyes in the room locked onto the beautiful, angry woman.
She didn't look so pretty with her face all red and scrunched up like that.
Doflamingo tried his very hardest to keep in his snickers, honestly and truly… but the whole situation was so damn funny! Her misguided and foolish attempts to woo the fearsome Pirate rookie being slapped right into her face; her reaction to it…
Okay, so he didn't try very hard.
The man thought he was going to throw up he was laughing so hard as Boa stomped and yelled a few more times before tears streamed down her eyes.
It was inconceivable! Impossible! They were in love! They were married!
"Oh, and Boa? HAHAHAH! A hug does not count as marriage. WHAHAHAHAH!!" The man kicked and flailed as he went into another round of hysterics when Boa promptly froze, before falling sideways in a dead faint.
Her broken, delusional heart bearing too much of a burden on her consciousness, so it just shut down.
Garp came back to his senses, going right back to the matter at hand.
"How the hell am I supposed to get great-grandchildren now?!" Garp cried out helplessly, his face turning sad, and he sat down on the floor, crossing his arms and hunching his back. Sengoku couldn't believe it as the old man's lip protruded out in a pout.
Garp was pouting.
Why were they being so Bipolar?!
The marine leader slapped a hand to his face, not believing this. Then, to his absolute horror, the seagull that was always perched atop of his head 'kyreed' softly before flying over to Garp to perch on his shoulder, preening graying hair affectionately.
Sengoku glared at the bird who gave him a reprimanding look. Accusing him of not being in the seagull's place comforting the man.
'Traitor' The Buddah-man thought heatedly at the bird before moving to sit next to Garp.
Awkwardly, he placed a hand on the D's back, patting it in an off rhythm before quickly retracting it as if doing the action burned him.
"Uh…"
He racked his brain for reassuring words in this sort of situation.
"They could… Adopt?" He offered lamely, and Garp's eyes, the same ocean blue as Luffy's looked at him as if he was the most amazing thing to ever grace this planet.
Sengoku was honestly scared.
"YOU'RE RIGHT! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!"
The older man suddenly hugged his superior tightly, the latter uttering an unmanly yelp at the sudden action. The seagull cried out in a strangled call as it was caught between the men, it's little body being crushed. But it ended as soon as it happened, completely flabbergasting Sengoku as he could just sit there at watch Garp's retreating back, the little seagull, happily, quickly recovering and went back to it's perch on Sengoku's head.
"I'M GOING TO GO TELL MY GRANDSON!" The old dog's happy voice filled the halls as he ran out to his warship to set sail as quickly as possible.
'Great-grandchildren!' That was the only thing on Monkey D. Garp's mind.
Mihawk, in the mean time, had snuck out the door long before Garp, and had gotten back to his little coffin-like boat. Releasing a sigh, he pulled out the paper from his waistband, and unfolded it, taking a look at the picture.
He stared at the provocative photo for a moment, a trickle of blood escaping his left nostril.
Shanks. He had to find Shanks. Shanks never receives the newspaper, so Mihawk should deliver.
Yes, Mihawk should find Shanks.
The swordsman shook his head, trying to get rid of his oddly worded thoughts as he got into the boat and set off, stuffing the article back into his waistband, and wiping the blood off his face.
Something seemed so familiar about the picture though, and it was bothering him, keeping him from taking a nap even!
Yet again, he was curious.
With a growl, he took the paper back out and unrolled it, staring at the picture, and holding back another oncoming nosebleed.
Yellow eyes stared at the two in the picture for so long, till the picture actually morphed, his own mind telling him that he's an idiot, and just decided to give him the full picture of what it reminded him of…
Shanks replaced Luffy, and Mihawk himself replaced Zoro.
More blood shot from the pale man's nose, and he quickly put the paper back into his pant's band.
He and Shanks were just like Roronoa and Straw Hat.
Mihawk's brain went to the gutter instantly, and began thinking of other reasons for visiting Shanks-
NO
He was just going to deliver interesting news to an old dueling partner. That. Was. It. He growled to himself, crossing his arms in defiance, staring straight ahead.
…
An hour later, Mihawk stole another look at the picture.
-----
Yeah, WAY OOC. I really can't write Mihawk without MiSha in there somewhere. Forgive me! Also forgive me for the very late update! This was more Mihawk than anyone, huh? Oopsie, oh well!
R&R!
