The Future Before Us

To reach the dwelling of her son, Mihawk had to walk quite the trench across Rusukaina. Eventually, she found herself in front of what resembled a small planetoid floating in the centre of the island, this planetoid had a cave and a cascade of water falling... upwards. 

She ignored this oddity and jumped into the cave to find two entangled bodies sleeping. Veyron and Primrose looked like they had just finished their naughty business. She hunched down to tug him awake and Veyron's eyes fluttered. 

"Veyron..."

"Hmn?~"

He moaned a bit and instead of waking up hugged the beauty in his arms even tighter, making her too moan as a result. Seeing that they didn't look like they were going to get up any time soon, she decided to cuddle alongside them. A notion that Veyron welcomed with open arms, embracing them both before the snoring began. 

A part of her couldn't believe how vulnerable he looked, the same individual who had unleashed two goddesses of lightning into Onigashima, from the distance perhaps it looked more majestic than it did up close.

She started rubbing his chest and getting comfortable.

"How are you feeling?"

"So good~" He moaned amidst his sleep, she figured this was his state of utter peace and tranquillity; a state she hoped he'd stay in forever... but for them, there was not such a thing as long-lasting peace. She loved to see him out of the workshop, but that was still his passion. 

"It's been a week."

"I want to staaaay".

"Really? So I can demolish that workshop, right?~"

"Yes- wait no! Don't do it!".

It was like a bucket of cold water was dropped on him, he woke up with a headstart.

"I thought you said you wanted to stay? That means the workshop is no longer necessary".

"Mom, those jokes aren't funny".

"It wasn't a joke~".

"..."

The young man pouted and huffed before hugging Primrose again and giving his back towards the raven-haired lady. She rolled her eyes but didn't care, embracing him from behind. 

"I wanted to talk to you about something. I'm going to start making my moves" She began.

"... your own moves?" He didn't turn around but his voice displayed curiosity.

"That is right, I'll start some stuff with Robin and Crocodile" She didn't reveal much and her ambiguity made him raise an eyebrow. 

"Why those two of all people?"

"They're strong and trustworthy. Primrose is your left hand, I'm your right hand... it is about time I take this spot seriously".

"Is it because of what happened?"

"Yes. You're very strong, son... but you can't face everything on your own".

"It was a mistake, we couldn't have done anything to prevent it".

"You are right, but now that the woman has gotten herself involved and you're her target, I can't keep my hands tied. You should know how this changes things".

His words left him drifting and thinking. Imu, the person who sat on the empty throne although admittedly Mihawk told him she never knew this person was a woman. Her identity had always been concealed as she shrouded in darkness and her voice always sounded neutral. 

There were many oddities surrounding this individual, like her resemblance to Vivi, and her ridiculous power that resembled a Quasar's eruption but a few.

'Every time I think I have reached the top, something comes to shake my beliefs again'.

It hadn't been just this Imu. Kaido had survived, he had awakened his mythical zoan and became even more of a threat that was now loose. Onigashima was gone, at least 90% of his crew perished during the ordeal leaving only the Tobiroppo and King from the Allstars, but knowing Kaido, he'd soon recover. 

"Their presence means that you're no longer as absolute as you thought you were. In any war against the world government, you'd have to put your complete focus on that woman as only you can't fight her to an equal" Mihawk asserted. 

"And she also looked quite eager to make me company. I don't know to what extent she will get involved from now on, but since we know her identity and that's some big secret, it is safe to assume she won't stay quiet" He confirmed. 

"That's why I'll create an offensive group. Focus on her, focus on your plan... leave Primrose to protect our home as she's been doing and leave the knights to me. They're no longer what they once were" She sighed and pulled his chin, twisting his head so that their eyes could meet. 

"My father would be disappointed in what they have become. That's why I will personally erase them".

"I trust you".

"Do you?" She smirked, "What if I get captured like Hancock?~"

"... Before you get captured they're more likely to capture me, Mom... do you think I'll doubt your skills? If you're going to be their leader, I can rest assured. If you need anything: devices, a ship, anything, just tell me".

Her heart fluttered at the thought of having such a wonderful partner. To be trusted and allowed to move like equals, 'You're what I never knew I needed, Veyron...'

Her flutter reached the point where her cheeks turned red and she nodded, "Then I won't be shy... there is something else I need right now, though".

"W-What is it?" He felt her hand descending like a snake until her lips were softly biting his ear. 

"How about you give Mommy another thick load?~"

"I-I thought you were satisfied!?"

Before he knew Primrose groaned in her sleep upon being cast aside while Mihawk licked her lips and took the reigns, pinning him down. 

"I thought so too... but every time I so much as see you, I can't help myself. Listen well, I don't care how long you spend on your workshop and who you sleep with. But you better be sure to return to our bed most nights... or there will be consequences".

"H-Hai!".

"If I'm not satisfied, heads will roll... and you should know what heads I'm talking about".

"Hai ma'am!".

"My race is difficult to get pregnant, so you better start working harder, got it?~"

"Hundred per cent!".

"Good, uhm~ now go ahead and give mommy some more".
