Couldn't help, but write this bonus chapter for you guys, so enjoy.

This chapter is not going to be told from Keiko's view.


Mihawk's POV

As I found this girl lying on my beach 7 years ago I didn't know what to do, but as I saw her eyes I knew. I could see all the suffering and heartbreaking in them, but there were also a determination never to give up, no matter what. All she needed was a place to be. A home and a parent. I'm not sure I live up to be the father of the year or decade, but I did not spoil her. i did mess up however, making her to deadly serious, so I had to make a choice. I hated the thought, but seeing her now, I know it was the right one to make.

I walked through the castle of Doflamingo, searching for some answer of why he wanted my daughter so badly. Sure she is strong, her seastone swords unique, but it still doesn't make sense. What could he possible want from her?

I didn't find my answer at the castle. What ever his reason was, it was nothing he had told any or wrote down. It must be some weird mind game from his side. So I went to the ship, where Vista told me Keiko was and I sat by her bed, waiting for her to wake up. I wanted to know if her feelings were true.

She is so sweet when she sleeps. Marco and the others had taken good care of her. As she woke up we talked. I did remember to praise her, because she sure has become a lot stronger than I expected. However I can't believe my little girl has grown up so much and so fast. And here I am, being an overprotective father. I wonder when I let her grow so attach to my heart. She should only had been my experiment. Well if Ace hurts her, I'm going to hunt him down and make him regret. Nobody hurts my I should remind him of that, even though I'm sure he knows.


Shanks' POV

Mihawk has change over the past 7 years. Ever since Keiko became his daughter. He doesn't show it that much, but I can tell. He loves her and she is so dear to him that he won't hesitate killing anyone who dares to hurt her. Well, he does kill for killing some boredom, so he is no angel. Yet he did safe a girl from loneliness. I wonder why he decided to let me take care of her. Yeah she did need help to build social skills, but she could have done that on any ship she would be part of. Maybe because he trusts me. Our rivalry might have a role in that too. He knows me.

I smiled as we walked back to the ship, knowing that Taka No Me would come afterwards. First he would say goodbye to his precious daughter. After all she was going to be a part of Marco's crew now, that's for sure. I couldn't help but noticing her feelings for Ace. Love. Oh dear now I have to keep an extra eye on her. She became somehow like a daughter to me too. I don't mind though. She is charming and a good girl. But if she tells Ace ... Well then Ace has to look out for Taka No Me and me. I won't let him get away if h hurts her.


Marco's POV

Keiko looks so happy and she is like an angel. The sunrise falls perfectly on her. if Ace doesn't soon take action, I really have to kick his ass. Why is it that those in love can't see they are in love with each other? Young people nowadays. Well it can't be helped.

I'm on watch while all other sleep from then party. The Straw Hats sure knows how to party. I was really afraid that Keiko might say yes to Luffy's invitation, or rather demand, but then again, she is in love with Ace. I don't think Luffy mind's though. it sure was a surprise to fid out that Sabo did survive and was here. It turned out to become a family reunion.

I watch as Ace went over to Keiko. I can't hear what they talked about, but I can see her eyes sparkle and Ace feels slight embarrassed. He made her look into his eyes, as she looked down. I can see her insecurity. Then I see Ace leaning towards her and kiss her. Keiko put her arms around his neck. Finally. Now we all can relax. We don't need to watch what we say about their feelings for each other. I smiled and looked over the sea. Ace and Keiko has a lot of adventures together.


Ace's POV

I saw Keiko went to the back of the ship and I thought if this was a right time to do this, but I had been afraid of losing her. So I stood up, making sure that Luffy, who leaned against me, didn't wake up. Slowly I walked past the sleeping pirates. Luffy and his crew sure knows how to party, but that didn't surprise me. I looked at Sabo. My brother. I can't believe he really is alive. All those years.

As I came to the back I saw Keiko standing near the railing. The sun is rising and her beauty almost took my breath. I've known for a time now that i had falling in love with her. I wanted to tell her on that day 3 weeks ago. As I saw the couple in that bar, I wished it was me and her. Therefor I drank the last of my booze and told Vista I wanted go back to the ship because I had something important to tell someone. i wanted to tell Keiko how much I love her.

I walked over to her. She didn't say anything at first, but then she told me how much she had missed me. My heart stopped for a second and then I felt it started to beat faster. I couldn't really believe it, so I asked if it was true. Of course it was true. Because Keiko loves me as much as I love her. I could feel it as she kissed me back. This is the happiest day of my life. First I was freed by my nakama and Keiko, I helped Luffy and Keiko kick some ass, found a long lost brother and now I found my true love.

Oh I should properly try not to break her heart, harm or hurt her. I guess that Marco really would beat the crap out of me, then Shanks and at last Hawkeye would kill me. My love sure has some strong and overprotective men on her side, but it doesn't bother me, because I could never dream of hurting her. I love her.


Luffy, Sabo, Vista and Jozu looked at Ace and Keiko. They were lost for their surroundings.

"So that's why Keiko didn't want to be my nakama," said Luffy.

"Yeah. They are in love. Isn't that sweet," smiled Sabo.

"Finally. It's about time. How long has it been now?" asked Jozu.

"Too long. I sure want to kick Doflamingo once more. If he didn't let his men kidnap Ace, he would have told Keiko it 3 weeks ago," said Vista.

"Yeah. Young love. Make sure to be extra alert now Vista. I don't think Hawkeye like that his precious daughter is dating," said Jozu.

"That could be a problem. It stills shocks me to know that she is the daughter of Dracule Mihawk," said Sabo.

"As long as she is happy he wouldn't mind, but as soon as Ace breaks her heart or hurt her, Hawkeye would not hesitate to kill him," siad Vista.

"Oi. Why would Hawkeye kill Ace?" Luffy looked confused.

"Because Mihawk loves his daughter. It's like you wanted to kill Akainu for killing Ace, as you still believe he was dead," said Sabo.

"Shishishishishi. I don't think Ace would harm or hurt her. He likes her a lot," smiled Luffy.


I know it's short, but I just wanted to let you guys know a little of Keiko's dad's and friends' thought of her love towards Ace. Well and then a bit of Ace's thoughts too. Hope you liked it.
