Work Text:
Some of the days in Impel Down are very bad, especially when they take Daz away for a punishment and Crocodile is left alone. When they torture Crocodile he can focus, he can find his strength, but when he is alone in the quiet and the dark he begins to lose his mind.
He sees Mihawk there, with his staring, accusing golden eyes. Mihawk tells him that he is a fool and a coward and a failure and Crocodile knows that it's true. He reaches out with his hand and his hook to beg forgiveness, comfort.
But Mihawk only stares.
