In the previous chapter: As I opened the wooden barrier that separate my clean and organized home from that group of wild beasts, the loud noise of his screeches hit me at full force.    

"Akagami..."

"HAWKIE!!"

'So annoying'. I thought deepening my frown. In times like this I regret meeting him.

"Don't call me that, Akagami. And what are yo-"

"WE ARE HERE TO PARTY!!" He yelled pushing me to the side allowing himself and his crew access to my home.

"Oi Akagami what are you doing? And stop interrupting me when I'm talking"

"Aww c'mon Hawkie we're here to celebrate with you. You should thank us. You're going to die alone if you continue like that!!"

"Don't call me Hawkie. Who give you the permission to barge in my house? And I don't mind if I die alone as long as I can keep you away from me". I internally sighed. This is not the first time this occurs, and I know for previous experiences that I can't win against the stubborn pirate captain when it came to things like these. It's useless try to fight.

"Ow! Mihiii you're so mean to mee~"

"Don't call me Mihi either!"

"Anyway we are here to have fun. C'mon men bring the sake!!"

As he said that, various dozens of barrels full of sake were being carried inside of my house by several of his crewmembers. As soon as they were inside all the hell broke loose. If you can think in a loud and dirty tavern full of drunken pirate men at night time, what was happening in my castle was, at least, six times worst. Rowdy and careless men were all over my sofas, tables and floors drinking and spilling sake everywhere.

I decided to go to a far and calmer (not as calm as I wanted) corner and pray that the time passed as soon as possible. But of course some red haired man wasn't going to let it happen.

"Hawkie! Come with me! Don't stay here sulking all the night! You need to relax and let it goooo~!"

"Akagami! Let go of me!"

"C'mon! Here! Drink! Drink!!"

"Sto---glgl"

That damned pirate almost shoved the entire mug of sake down my throat. I was so pissed off! But soon enough (after more than 10 mugs of liquor) I started to feel more relaxed and started to loose myself a bit.

I might have had too many drinks because unfortunately from a part of the night I do not remember anything. It was erased from my memory and this may be for the better.

Shanks' P.O.V.

It was so funny to see Mihawk drunk~. I made sure to take photos to show him next morning and laugh at him. He was really funny. He had half-lidded eyes, red nose, red cheeks and red ears, and was singing very loudly. YES! Takanome no Mihawk, The world's greatest swordsman was SINGING! And man, it was not so bad! I didn't know he has such a nice voice.

All my men were laughing, drinking their asses off or already passed out. It was such a great time! And being in Mihawk's castle gave us more protection than getting drunk in any other island, because, who is the fellow that dares to trespass Mihawk's property? With that the night went on, but I can't remember the most of it. Ugh, too much drinking man... such a hangover...I know! The best way to cure the hangover! LET'S DRINK!!!!

??? P.O.V.

I must say that I wasn't expecting a Yonko's crew to be at Takanome's place.

'I must be highly careful and silent. This can be my end if they wake up! Not that it seems that they are going to wake up anytime soon, but they are Red Hair's crew after all, they are as unpredictable as their captain, and I'm only one person.'

I try to pass over the big crew fast, but a chill went down my spine when I heard the second in command stir. Benn Beckman, famous pirate for being the first mate of a Yonko and for being calm as well as strong. He opened an eye slightly and closed it instantly. I was frozen like a sculpture. I should have reconsidered the idea of coming other day when I first saw this crew in here. But I was so close that the temptation kept me moving.

I made my way into the large stone corridors of the castle and, as I turn a corner I had to duck behind a door. There was a pink haired girl in a frilly nightgown hugging a Frankenstein styled teddy bear.

'Shit! She almost saw me! She must be the girl that was working under that pathetic Moria-shit, and the one that Kuma send to Mihawk!' I thought as I spied on her. When she was out of sight I continued down the hall and into a room that had an open door.

'Oh~~~~ I didn't know they are a thing, should I report this to the journalists? Maybe the Marines would kick Takanome's ass out of the Shichibukai...~' I smiled.

In the room were pacifically sprawled in the bed two figures. The men where shirtless and wearing fluffy feathery scarves around their necks. The greatest swordsman was lying down on his back with his arms stretched and with a painting in his stomach that say: I'm a pretty princess ballerina. The Yonko was on top of him, his head resting in the other's abs and hugging him around the waist with the only arm he has, snoring like a truck. In his cheek was a 'obscene drawing'.

'*laughs* I should finish this quickly and leave the two lovebirds alone'~

I rummaged through the closet and pick the piece that I liked more. Done with tis I opened the window and flew away. Such a nice piece: Dark violet boxers with zombie teddy bears on them~~.
