@Den_Den_Mushi just finished your story and...WOAW!!! That was really really cool!!
As I said, at first, I did not like your depiction of Mihawk’s psyche but I change my mind. You made me change my mind
I like the way he deals with his defeat against Zoro, I like the way you present how Zoro and Peronna give his life meaning. I love the flashback with Shanks. Your take on Mihawk’s psyche, personality, fears, anguish and hopes was really well written and can totally be in adéquation with the canon character
Same thing with Hancock. I was genuinely sad for her after the Celestial Dragon flashback. I think that you really well depicted how hard it can be to lose someone you love. Especially when this love his link to a trauma
You also well depicted the paranoid thoughts that one can have when the people you love made his life with someone else. The way you tied the lose of Luffy with the traumatic memories of her life in Marie Geoise was marvelous. You certainly have good touch when addressing psychological weaknesses
At first, a romance between Hancock and Mihawk seems to be impossible with what we know right now but the way you wrote it, made it believable, adorable and even wishable
The epilogue was wholesome too..

Your story could/should be canon. And I hope one way or another Oda will read it
While reading it, I feel how much attention you put in it and how much you love Mihawk
Good good work Den. I’m eager to read your next work
