Cross Guild Headcanon: How they react to bugs/insects
Mihawk:
Totally unafraid of whatever bug he finds. Venomous, poisonous, lots of legs, no legs, winged, flightless; it doesn’t matter, he hasn’t met a bug scarier than a person
Will pick up random bugs and examine them, absolutely unconcerned about stingers or pincers
Does his own taxidermy and has an extensive collection of strange insects he’s found on his travels.
Whatever bugs he doesn’t take home he sketches and writes about in meticulously kept journals
His favorite bug: the camel spider- vicious, unloved, solitary
Crocodile:
Doesn’t really think about bugs and is unbothered by them.
Except for scorpions and tarantulas. If he sees a tarantula on the wall or in the corner of the room he’s leaving. And then quietly sending someone else to get rid of it.
He will deny this fear. “Would a man who keeps man-eating beasts be afraid of some small… many legged…venomous creature?” Yes. He would.
Had an unbelievably uncomfortable meeting with Mihawk one time where he met at Mihawk’s castle and the whole wall was lined with scorpions. They never met at Mihawk’s place again.
His favorite bug: a dragonfly - eye-catching, quick, born from the water and lives in the light
Buggy:
Does not like any bug! If that thing flies at him, if it has too many legs, or looks pointy he will freak out.
He doesn’t even like the most acceptable kinds of insects; ladybugs, butterflies, caterpillars, etc. It doesn’t matter how harmless, if they have too many legs, he will not go near them.
When he was a kid, he used to collect them with Shanks. But he had a traumatic experience when he brought a spider back into their room and it released an egg sac that had hundreds of little spider babies.
After that incident, his relationship with bugs continued downhill. The straw that broke the camel spider’s back was visiting an island with humongous insects and getting lost in the jungle for hours with wasps chasing him.
His favorite bug: If he was forced to choose, probably a butterfly (but at a distance!)- colorful, flashy, can’t technically hurt him
