Is that so? Then I’ll be sure to spare you from any unnecessary harshness today.

Consider it a rare occasion.

It’s no assumption—I have been occupied as well.

Though I suspect your definition of ‘busy’ is far more chaotic than mine.

Did I surprise you that much? I wasn’t aware my kindness was so unsettling.

He adjusted his position slightly, moving a rook defensively to counter Shanks’ strategy.

"Agreeing or arguing for the sake of appearances would be a waste of time. I’d like to think we’ve outgrown such things, at least."

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 12

-agreeing to be pleasing or trying to argue simply to appear different from everyone else.”

Mihawk tilted his head slightly to the side, his gaze fixed on the board as he used a pawn to capture one of Shanks’ pawns.

"It seems all we discuss now are weighty matters—like two old men. Not that I find it unpleasant, of course."

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 12

“Mhm.”

Shanks moved not the Rook that had been advanced but his other one now.

“Peace is a lovely thing in theory, but the problem with peace is you always have to fight for it and to protect it so really it won’t ever exist. Which is I find myself content with my life being how it is.”

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 12

He made a calculated decision, advancing a bishop to challenge Shanks’ Rook.

“Perhaps. But any peace we find is temporary, and always at a cost."

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 11

“Clever move.”

He moved his second Rook out towards one of Mihawk’s pawns.

“Or those around us. Although, I like to think all things considered we both live fairly peaceful lives…Compared to others in similar circumstances.”

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 11

He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a deep sigh before moving a pawn defensively, blocking Shanks’ advance.

"Indeed, you're correct. While we have freedom in many things, living a peaceful life with someone simply isn’t an option for us."

-danger but so are any known associates of ours. Unless, they have the capacity to understand that danger and protect themselves it may be unfair to get close to them.”

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 10

Mihawk’s gaze lingered on the board, the game growing increasingly complex. He moved his rook forward, taking two of Shanks’ pawns in a single, decisive strike.

“That’s an excellent way to interpret it."

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 10

-Shanks does take the advancing pawn using one of Rookies the one he had already moved outward.

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 10

But right now, there are things that require my full attention. It’s not the time to give myself to anyone, no matter how tempting."

He advanced one of his pawns, sacrificing it in a move that seemed to have a deeper purpose.

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 10

"Mnm..."

Mihawk studied the board for a moment, his expression thoughtful as he examined the few remaining options.

"I know exactly what I like—those who are strong, independent, and capable of holding their own. +

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 10

-act like he stood to lose a lot despite it being a friendly wager.

He moved another pawn forward creating a wide defense with what pawns remained.

“I think everyone has a type. Mine are definitely those who can keep me guessing but also those who keep me grounded as well. Balancing forces.”

As long as you show up, I won’t complain about the lack of notice.

𝑹𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒂 𝒁𝒐𝒓𝒐 ‧ ‧ ‧ メ @ofdemonicswords.bsky.social · Dec 9

Of course not. I like to show up without you knowing.

Choose the day and appear. You never announce your visits beforehand, after all.

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 10

A faint smile crossed his face, a rare display of emotion as he noticed Shanks' decision not to take the bait. This time, he slid his bishop diagonally across the board, creating a new, subtle threat.

"It seems you have a type, then—those who keep you guessing."

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 10

We have a need to know things, and we want to uncover the mysteries of the world and of people. I find it thrilling when I can know someone who rarely lets their guard down or allows their secrets to be known. Better than finding gold, in my opinion."

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 10

Mnm... It looks comfortable and suits you.

Denki Kaminari @fangthesniper23.bsky.social · Dec 9

"Oh i was showing the fit what do think?"

I often find myself eager to unravel it... quietly, of course."

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄. † @dracohawk.bsky.social · Dec 10

His fingers hovered over the board before moving a pawn forward, deliberately placing it within Shanks’ reach. It was a calculated risk, an invitation to capture if he dared.

"There’s something about the mystery of people that draws me in, +

Shanks @redhairedpirate.bsky.social · Dec 9

-there was no mystery what would there be to keep chasing after in life? Definitely would be a bore for me.”

It seems your crew has a commendable understanding of personal boundaries. Zoro, however, often keeps his thoughts as guarded as his sword. If he deems it worth sharing, he will—though I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.
