[ hehe a little bit drama here.]
Chapter 12 – Your Ancestor is crying in his Grave
"Of course you don't. That man is a piece of art" Yuuto sneer at his own remark and continue " A disgusting one I mean. That man die a coward. Torture by a sadistic prostitute none other than your mother"
"…" Mihawk is stunt hearing what come out of Yuuto mouth. Although he doesn't know who his father was and don't even bother to care or know. He didn't expect someone to just drop the bomb like this in front of him.
'Why did you even bother to talk about who this parents kid old man. Now what? You wanna talk about his whole ancestor?' Whitebeard and Rayleigh share the same thought about this situation. They were speechless, normally the old man just directly reject it like many other time they saw if the man doesn't want to bother with anyone.
But this time it's different, the old man didn't directly reject the boy but instead question him with sensitive topic instead
Hearing no replied from the boy in front of him, he continued.
" Do you know who your grandfather is?" Yuuto said and approaching Mihawk leaving the mouth agape Shanks
' HE REALLY DID!!!' Rayleigh and Whitebeard thought at he same time
". . . No" Mihawk answer honestly, he didn't continue to bow but his head is lowered and his hand is clench tightly into a fist, not from embarrassment but frustration.
"That was a great fighter back then, but eventually fall out because of his arrogance and pride that is even bigger than and higher than Redline itself. He is also an irresponsible bastard and the only thing he is responsible for is making your dad the way he is" Yuuto right now is opposite of Mihawk staring down at him
" I break a promise to someone just because your grandfather want me to train him. But he ended up disappoint me in the end, what make you so different from any of them that I must fulfill you REQUEST!?" Yuuto tone harder in the end. A burst of violent pressure come out of his body making Mihawk kneel to one knee on the ground.
"Yuut-" Shanks want to said something but his mouth is quikly covered by Rayleigh that shake his head at him gesturing to not interfere.
"But…" Yuuto trailed off, at the moment of 'losing his focus' his control of his Haki slip up causing majority of Whitebeard crew including Buggy pass out leaving only Rayleigh, Whitebeard, shanks and some of the whitebeard crew such as Marco and Jozu that is near Whitebeard and Shanks that is near Rayleigh to protect them with they own burst of Haki to stay awake.
'Strong..' the young and ignorant thought, not knowing his strength beforehand and seeing Mihawk that is now on his two knees and using his hand to support his body.
"Do you know who your ancestors are?" Mihawk grit his teeth using all his will to stay awake but oddly enough can still hear what the person in front of him saying
"... He is a great man. A man respected in his era and the first ever person outside of Wano kingdom to receive a title by the mass as Sword God.
Calling him a great swordman is an insult to his strength, he is invisible when using his sword back in his prime earning him his full title 'The Sword God Griffin' because of his great capabilities and the domineering eye. The very same eye that you inherit.
And the first swordman that turn his sword black permanently by himself without any prior predecessor.
And that sword on your back is the very same sword that he wield in the past. And now past down from generation to generation
But the generation after him are all either mother****ing piece of shit or arrogant bastard
That is until your grandfather, but he also fall down the same road and can't even touch the toe of your ancestor.
On that day I learn to accept the reality. That no matter how much I try to change a person, they can't be change. And on that day I also remember an important lesson from a long time ago
'The blood that flow inside the body is not what make a person who he are, But the will inside their heart that want to accomplish it' " The pressure that is being release slowly dissipate leaving a heavily panting Mihawk on the ground sound that's heard, because the area is deadly silent hearing Yuuto reminiscing about the past. It's rare occurrence for him to talk about it.
Rayleigh and Whitebeard smile slightly hearing what Yuuto has told, now they finally understand what he is planning, he want to know his resolve.
After silence for a moment Yuuto close his eye and pullout a cigarette, lit it up and take a puff.
*Haaaa*
He then focus back on the panting boy that is kneeling in front of him with a sharp gaze he continue
"Although talent can determine how fast a person can grow.
It always has a limit of what it can reach without a strong will to overcome the wall that differentiate someone between a human and a 'True Monster' in this world
Soo, tell me DRACULE D. MIHAWK! DO YOU HAVE THE WILL AND DETERMINATION TO OVERCOME THAT!?
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKE TO PURSUE THIS ROAD ?!
DO YOU EVEN HAVE THE AMBITION TO REACH THE GLORY YOUR ANCESTOR ONCE OBTAIN ?!
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANT FOR YOU TO REACH THE TOP !?
Right now you are but a Baby Hawk. No let me correct it, you right now is just a worm that was feed to the baby hawk
Even your trash Grandfather has more willpower than you, calling you all a descendant of that man is the worse insult he can ever receive" Mihawk has start breathing normally but he still on the ground kneeling without lifting his head no one can see what expression he's wearing right now.
All the people that is awake is stunt by Yuuto choice of word that is honestly brutally cruel. Shanks face morph in anger, if not for Rayleigh holding him down and shutting his mouth he will rush at Yuuto and f* the consequence.
He see Mihawk as his friend, and seeing him like this is hard for him and anger him to no end
" I thought so. . . "seeing that Mihawk did not respond to his word he take a puff of smoke and close his eye and mutter
"PATHETIC" He mutter slowly but everyone can heard him considering how silent it was right now.
"His Legacy is finish. After your death I will take YORU with me to pass it to a worthy wielder to bring back his predecessor glory. The sword will be happy to part with your bloodline" Yuuto finish his word and turn around leaving Mihawk trembling on the ground
