That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

it's the circle of life

[ This is actually kind of fun. It's like playing with your food and stirring the pot all at once. ]

A bold new way to humiliate yourself, no doubt. But that is the role of a jester, isn't it? Perhaps it's fortuitous after all that you now have a boy king to serve.

It truly, truly is!

[That's-- not how it's supposed to be!!]

I'll throw my own head into the sea before I see that kid in a straw hat become anything like a king!

[crosspurpose]

Well, now I am curious. Would that kill you?

[ A curious Mihawk is a dangerous thing. ]

[theflashyfool]

What, no. Not at all!

[... Yes, probably. Don't try it?]

[crosspurpose]

In any case, I suppose time will tell which of you is better. It may just be that you'll only exist as a footnote in this boy's story just like you are in Shanks'.

[theflashyfool]

You'll regret that when I've become king of the pirates instead!

[crosspurpose]

I would sooner toss my own head into the sea.

So I suppose you should keep me updated. Do not use this line as a social one unless you'd like me to take a special interest in you.

[ That is a threat. ]

[theflashyfool]

[If he was a braver person, he'd definitely tell Mihawk the head-in-the-sea situation could be arranged. But he's afraid he'll wake up to being tossed overboard if he dares, so--]

I'll keep that in mind...
