( zoro doesn't answer for a few minutes, mostly because he's just. ruminating on mihawk's words a little. there aren't many people whose words he takes to heart, but his mentor is one of them. koushirou was his mentor for a while, but even then, zoro barely listened to him, just trained and trained and trained until his arms and shoulders were so sore he couldn't even lift his shinai anymore and he had to crawl to bed on the dojo floor.
it's a strange thing, caring about what people think. stranger, still, is the thought of people caring about him.
especially people outside of his crew. especially the man that almost killed him, that he respects so deeply he doesn't even know how to articulate it. )
that's all i've ever done since i was a kid training
( maybe he scribbles this part a little smaller. )
