Garp & Tsuru: Working with Sengoku in the CSIS. All three of them were in the military together.

Roger+Rogue+Garp+Whitebeard+Rayleigh+Shakky: The polycule is alive and doing well. They have three cottages and they share all three backyards (they tore down the fences between and made it a big one). They bought the cottages when their kids (Dragon, Dadan, Kuzan, Buggy, and Mihawk) were little. Roger and Rogue live in one. Garp and Whitebeard live in one. Rayleigh and Shakky live in one.

Rayleigh is a mechanic and Shakky runs a bar.

Roger and Rogue like to travel a lot (they write for a travel magazine or something). Ace is not their son in this au.

Garp is in the CSIS and Whitebeard helps troubled youth.

Garling: Dead - He choked on a grape while he was home alone. Was an abusive father and husband.

Aisling (Red Haired Mom): After Garling died, she took over his insurance company. Raised Shanks and Shamrock by herself.

Shanks: Married to Buggy, Roger and Rogue's adopted son. Is also a teacher while Buggy is a performer with Cirque du Soleil.

Shamrock: Married to Marie. They have Kid and Uta together as well as adopting Killer later. Marie owns a gym and Shamrock has a bookstore/cafe.

Usopp: His parents are still together. His mom is an engineer and his dad is a park ranger.

Mihawk: Shakky and Rayleigh's son. Is an Olympic fencer and used to do ballet. Is a dance teacher now and married to Gekco Moria, a movie director who makes a lot of horror/thriller/historical movies. Their kids are Perona and Zoro. They never got divorced because Moria never went after Kaido. Oh, and they also get custody of Kuina.

The 5 Elders and other Celestials: Gang Leaders/Mob - doing illegal stuff like human trafficking, drug making, smuggling weapons, etc. Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru are trying to take them down. The 5 Elders are the kind of mobsters that live all over the globe and have illegal stuff in countries they don't live in. So it makes it hard to convict them.

Dragon: Was in the CSIS. He quit to be a teacher (History+Social Studies+Law+English) and do non-profit work. He works with Ivankov and Kuma to help poorer communities as well as LGBTIA+ kids and other vulnerable communities.

Kuma and Ginny are married and raising Bonney.

Ivankov owns a night club.

Kuzan: Olvia and him had Robin on accident, tried to make it work, but untimely separated with no hard feelings. Olvia is doing archaeology work around the globe, so Kuzan has primary custody of Robin. Olvia comes to visit on holidays and takes Robin with her during summer vacation (July+August). Kuzan is a desk worker at the CSIS. Got married to Crocodile, a casino owner.

Dadan: A business woman as you said. Runs a distillery and some other businesses with some illegal stuff on the side. Single and childfree, until she meets Bellemere.

Bellemere: Used to be in the CSIS, but was unable to work with them further due to breaking her leg in three places. She is now raising Nami and Nojiko. Is a business partner of Dadan, maybe more in the future.

Henry: Is alive with his wife and kids. Is a psychologist in the same department as Akainu. Once used Akainu as a study for a paper he was writing.

Akainu: Dragon and Akainu used to be together, but then they split when Ace was a newborn because Akainu is a workaholic/wasn't there a lot due to being in the military and Dragon was experiencing some post-partum depression. He is now a cop. So he still works a lot, but at least he's not travelling anymore. He tried to get Dragon back and promised to be better, but the promises kept falling through/he never showed up.

Timeline:

Surprise pregnancy.

Akainu isn't around much and Dragon doesn't feel good about himself.

Ace is born.

Akainu never took any paternity leave.

Dragon leaves Akainu when Ace is a month old.

Divorce was finalised when Ace was three months old.

Akainu is finally able to leave the military and become a police detective when Ace was three. So he wasn't consistently in Ace's life until then.

Akainu was pissed when he came back and found out Dragon had moved on.

The only reason he didn't go completely insane is because Dragon threatened to get a restraining order and the Judge made him do supervised visits at first.

Rosinante: Met Dragon when he was still in the CSIS and they saw each other in passing. Dragon's usual babysitter got sick and Rosinante volunteered. They kept talking and eventually started dating. Then they had Luffy accidentally and moved in together. He quit the CSIS due to his injuries after almost being killed by Doflamingo and was a stay at home parent for a bit before he started helping with Dragon's non-profit group.

Ace: Is Dragon and Akainu's son. He visits Akainu every other weekend.

Luffy: Was an accident, but a happy one. A crybaby like both of his dads. Loves his family and friends.

Sabo: His parents were charged with child abuse and that led to the authorities finding out that they were also working with the 5 Elders. So they are in jail for life. Dragon and Rosinante adopted him.

Shachi & Penguin: Their parents were killed due to racism (they are half fishmen in the Happy Coradrag au). Dragon and Rosinante adopted them.

Bepo: His parents are long gone because they had Bepo when they were old. His brother was killed by the mob boss Big Mom.

Law: If his family is alive, they are neighbours with Dragon and Rosinante. If they are dead, Dragon and Rosinante adopted him.

Mom, Dad, and Lami Trafalgar: If they are alive, they are doctors and collaborate with Dragon on non-profit work. If they are dead, maybe they treated someone who betrayed Dolfamingo so he killed them.

Homing & Mom Donquixote: Tried to leave the Celestials, but you can't get out of the mob once you're in it. They were killed and their children were presumed dead.

Doflamingo: A Mob leader of course. He killed Law's family (if you want them dead). Rosinante tried to take him down, but Doflamingo shot him and was then protected by the Celestials over seas. Eventually gets arrested.

King+Kaido: Running a biker gang (+ bar) together and have their son, Yamato. They beat up weirdos, racists, and homophobes in the neighbourhood. They also have a friendly beef going on with Oden who runs a rival bar/restaurant, well Kaido does, King just drinks tea with Toki as they watch their stupid husbands fight and kids playing together. When Yamato eventually brings Ace home, they think they're getting arrested because Akainu is the one to drop him off in his police car (he wanted to interrogate Yamato).

Queen & Caesar+Judge: Queen dies in jail. Caesar and Judge get out after 30 years and live somewhere out in the woods together because they can't live in a big city due to the amount of restraining orders they have on them. The get married for the tax benefits and eventually die by getting blown up by an explosion in their makeshift lab together. Ah, romance.😂

Blackbeard: Harassed Ace and tried to kill him after Ace turned him down, but then he died in a "mysterious accident" (Kaido and King got him once they found out he lived in the same neighbourhood).

So Mihawk and Moria divorce and everybody finds out through the newspaper. They were both warlords when they officially divorced.

As for why they divorced, I have a few ideas:

Before Kaido:

There is a lack of communication.

Most people see Moria as a joke (probably why he tried to fight Kaido - I haven't read Moria's wiki page yet, sorry if that's not the canon reason) and Mihawk as a very serious man.

So maybe Moria thinks Mihawk sees him as a joke too. So he tells him he is going to fight Kaido and Mihawk says "Hey maybe don't do that - it's a stupid idea"

After hearing that he thinks it confirms that Mihawk sees him not only as a joke, but as a weakling too.

Mihawk doesn't think that. He finds Moria weird and goofy but it's endearing. Doesn't tell Moria any of this though because he thinks Moria already knows all this. Basically, Mihawk's love language is Acts of Service in small meaningful gestures but Moria is oblivious to everything he does for him.

So they split and Moria goes to fight Kaido to prove himself, but fails.

Mohawk is pissed he went anyways, devastated when he hears Moria lost and thinks he is dead. Is pissed again when he finds out Moria is alive (maybe finds out at a warlord meeting).

So they fight and that's how the newspaper finds out about the divorce.

They either fought in front of the other warlords or in an empty hallway with cadets overhearing.

After Kaido:

So Moria goes to fight Kaido, loses, but they still stay together.

But:

Mihawk doesn't like the zombies; finds it too crowded and he finds Hogback disturbing/annoying. Would also like some non-contaminated soil for gardening.

After the Kaido incident and Moria becomes a shut in, he tries to limit how much Mihawk can leave or stops him from leaving altogether. Mihawk leaves him so he can have some freedom.

Different parenting styles. Mihawk thinks Moria is too lenient/spoils the kids and over protective. Moria thinks Mihawk is too strict with chores and training. Mihawk just wants the kids to know how to take care of themselves and defend themselves.

They divorce over something stupidly petty. Like not washing the dishes or something.

Or Mihawk is just sick of trying get Moria to take care of himself.

So after Mihawk leaves him, Moria lets himself go because he doesn't have someone to keep him on a schedule and he doesn't trust anyone anymore.

This also makes Perona and Zoro children of divorce. They go every couple of weeks to the other dad's house. Mihawk just drops them off and picks them up in his little coffin boat.

When the Straw Hats get to Thriller Bark, Zoro either doesn't explain anything until he absolutely has too, someone (Perona) recognizes him, or upon arriving:

-

Zoro: Shit, this is my dad's ship.

Usopp or Sanji: I thought Mihawk was your dad?

Zoro: He is, this is my other dad's ship.

Luffy: Oh! Like me!

Zoro: Yeah, but mine are divorced.

Robin: Ah, that makes a lot of sense as to why you're so feral.

-

Do they get back together? I haven't decided yet. But:

Zoro still met Kuina. I may or may not change the timeline of that to fit it into the story better.

Mihawk adopts Zoro after Kuina's death. Zoro was lost in the woods or something.

Moria had already adopted Perona before this.

When Zoro is 17, he is dropped off in the East Blue by Mihawk. This was another arguement between Moria and him. Moria wanted to wait until never - he's afraid of the kids dying due to what happened with Kaido.

Unfortunately for Moria, his son is determined, directionally challenged, and has a death wish. So there isn't much Moria can do to stop him.
