Special Chapter 1
Interactions
Garrett is a normal six year old boy. Both his parents are dead; he was rescued by the Greatest Swordsman in the World, Mihawk Dracule. He admires Mihawk and looks up to him; the only thing that is wrong with his life is that his big sister that he loves with all his heart absolutely loathes everything about Mihawk Dracule.
It has been six months since Mihawk rescued Garrett and his sister Madeline, or Maddie. During those six months Garrett has witnessed how Mihawk and Maddie have… interacted with each other. Even right now they are having one of their daily interactions.
Today Mihawk told Garrett and Maddie that he had to leave because the World Government had summoned him to a meeting because he was a Warlord now, and so he had to go. As a six year old boy Garrett was able to understand many things, one of those things being that he understands that when a person is ordered to do something, then they have to do it.
However Maddie, three years Garrett's senior doesn't understand that Maddie understands fully is that; her way is the right way and everyone else is wrong.
Right now Garrett is sitting at the dining table with a glass of orange juice and he's watching Mihawk and Maddie interact.
Mihawk and Maddie are standing face to face with their arms crossed and glaring at each other. Mihawk is currently wearing an expression that Maddie dubbed as 'I-Need-A-Drink-Face' while Maddie's expression reads that she is 100% right no matter what.
"We are going to die when you leave."
"No you won't."
"Yes we will. The Humandrills will eat us."
"The Humandrills are scared of you, they won't eat you."
"We have no food."
"There is a six month supply of food in the kitchen."
It was quite an entertaining scene to the young boy.
Mihawk Dracule, one of the most intimidating and powerful men in the world is giving a little nine year old girl a stare that would bring the most powerful of Marines to their knees and crying for their Mothers. While the little nine year old girl is giving an almost as intimidating glare back at Mihawk, even when she has a turquoise dress on with a hat/tea cup on her head and a little mouse on her shoulder.
If anyone who wasn't exposed to Maddie and Mihawk's interactions before today would out right laugh at this scene, then they would fall to their knees begging for his or her Mom to help him or her. However, Garrett has been exposed to this type of scene between the two for the pat six months, so he knows not to intervene between the two.
The surprising thing is that before Maddie met Mihawk she would have done the exact same thing to others. But unlike others from Maddie's past, Mihawk isn't one to give up on a challenge… even if it is from a nine year old girl more than a foot shorter than him.
"I am just going to be gone for five days. You will survive."
"A full grown man can die if he doesn't have water in three days. We are little children and we will die in less than three days without water!"
Mihawk exhales a sigh as he pinches the bridge of his noise.
"…What do you want now?"
Maddie bats her eyelashes and a look of pure innocence fills her face. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't want anything."
Mihawk returns his gaze on Maddie. "We all know how this works. I plan to leave and you whine and cry until we make a 'trade'. I'm on a deadline today and I'm too tired to listen to your wails so, what is the 'trade' going to be this time?"
Maddie unfolds her arms and is now fiddling with her gloved fingers while she hums and bounces on the balls of her feet.
Unluckily for Garrett, this is when he is forced into these types of situations.
Every. Single. Time.
"Weelll… you see… Garrett needs some new books."
Mihawk raises his well-manicured right eyebrow. "Garrett needs some books?"
An innocent looking smile appears on Maddie's face, "You see Garrett is a growing young man and he needs some books to educate himself on the outside world. How do you expect him to know how to add and subtract and how to write and how to even survive in this horrible world?! ... He also needs some more Peppermint tea leaves."
"… Peppermint tea leaves?"
Maddie spins around in a circle until she is facing Mihawk head on again, then she places her hands firmly on her hips. "Peppermint tea prevents bad breath, boosts your immune system, and eases muscle fatigue and pain. Why wouldn't you get Peppermint tea leaves?!"
Mihawk's right eye twitches, "…Fine."
Mihawk then turns his back to Maddie, not wanting to see what he already knows will happen.
Right after Mihawk turned his back to Maddie a wicked smile magically appears on her face. Just one glance at that smile and anyone could tell that she had just won a battle. With that smile still glued to her face, Maddie raises her arm and viciously starts to wave at Mihawk who is leaving the room and heading off to leave Kuraigana.
"See you later Wanna-be-Pirate! Remember if you don't get the books and Peppermint tea leaves for Garrett then something bad will happen."
Mihawk stops walking and he slowly turns his head around to look at Maddie. A sudden dark aura surrounded Mihawk and he knows what that threat means.
One time he 'forgot' to bring back some tea leaves for 'Garrett' and when he came back to Kuraigana he was welcomed to the most horrific scene he has ever seen in his life.
He went to get his favorite bottle of red wine when he saw that ALL his wine bottles were smashed and the dark red liquid that Mihawk cherishes more than his own life had painted the wooden floor of his wine room a dark blood red.
Mihawk gives Maddie a murderous look, once he grasps what her 'threat' means. But he knows that she is more than willing to commit that heinous crime again. When Maddie registers that Mihawk is giving her his murderous and threatening warning look she replied back to his threat with a warm and cheerful smile that engulfed her face. To anyone who doesn't know Maddie they would have loved that smile, but Garrett and Mihawk knew her. They know that smile said 'follow my orders or else say goodbye to ALL of your wine bottles.'
It feels like time stops when Maddie and Mihawk start their glaring and smiling contest… but in reality it only lasted a few minutes.
After their gazes broke apart Mihawk walked out of the room and he exited the castle, he walked in large strides until he reached his coffin boat and he sets sail; happy to not be around the future sociopath and her sidekick that currently are his 'guest'.
After Mihawk leaves the castle, the two children are still in the dining room. During Maddie and Mihawk's annual interaction, Garrett had finished his cup of juice and he is now currently watching his sister to see if she was going to do what he expected her to do.

Maddie turns on her heel and she skips away from Garrett, then in a fluid movement Maddie twirls around until she is making eye contact with her brother. Over the six years that Garrett has known his sister they have developed a special language between the two. Ever since Mihawk brought them to Kuraigana Garrett hasn't muttered a single word; Maddie is the only person who is able to understand and communicate with him because she can tell what he is thinking just by looking into his eyes.
In that brief moment that Maddie makes eye contact with her brother she can tell what he was asking her; 'what are you going to do now?'
Maddie flashes her brother a mischievous smile, "You should know by now what I'm going to do next Garrett. I'm going to go into His wine room and I'm going to hide half of His bottles and the other half I'm going to switch with juice. So don't drink the juice bottles until Dracule returns."
Maddie twirls around and she continues skipping away from Garrett and on to her next source of entertainment; to make Dracule Mihawk's Life A Living Hell.
Now left all by himself in the colossal dining room, all Garrett can think about is, 'If Maddie really wanted more books and Peppermint tea leaves then she should have just told Mihawk. And if Mihawk wanted Maddie to tell him goodbye then he should have just told her.'
Garrett exhales a tiresome breath. He then stands up and he walks over to a nearby bookshelf. He finds the book he was looking for and he takes it and he makes his way to the library in Mihawk's castle.
The title of the book that Garrett took is: 'How to Communicate with Others'.
