The vice admiral.

[Garp, naturally. Very few of the others would think to ask Mihawk anything, let alone to get something to Shanks.]

( can you feel him rolling his eyes all the way from the new world, mihawk. he gets the feeling he's walking to a very stupid trap, but — )

and the message?

I don't remember. I wasn't paying attention.

[Or does he remember and simply resents being used as Shanks' secretary? Who can say.]

( it shouldn't be that funny, really. but he can't help the bark of laughter that nearly startles his transponder snail. )

no wonder kuma always beats you for warlord of the month

Should I tell the vice admiral to have Kuma pass his messages along, then?

we both know the likelihood of you doing that is as certain as my arm growing back

Stranger things have happened.

such as?

Luffy.

( oh. )

well, now i know i've rubbed off on you

More than once. Why the subject change?

[Ba-dum tsh.]

don't quit your day job, hawk

( his best friend slash ex is a clown. try harder. )

At least I wouldn't have to resort to kidnapping to fill seats.

[Is he being even bitchier because Shanks didn't bite? Maybe.]

you wouldn't HAVE any seats to fill

( no one is booking the world's greatest swordsman's cutting edge comedy tour. )

Sore subject?

no i'm saying you're an awful comedian

I suppose you are the expert on such things, aren't you?

( he is not taking the bait. he is furiously deleting what is that supposed to mean? he knows exactly what mihawk means. )

better than you

Are you sure that's something to be proud of?

only you would think it's something to be ashamed of

I made no mention of shame. Seems you went there on your own.

it was implied is shame not the opposite of pride?

There are some things a man is allowed to be neutral in.
Especially this, of all things.

you say that as if neutral isn't your default state of being
