"He lost his arm because of me."

You couldn't shake the memory of that moment when Shanks saved you from a sea monster. Despite his reassurances that it wasn't your fault, your guilt remained, haunting you to this day.

As you walked through the bustling streets of your town, a loud chatter reached your ears. You paused, overhearing conversations about the return of the Red Hair Pirates.

Curiosity led you to peek into the nearby bar where rumors suggested the Red Hair Pirates were. Your eyes scanned the crowd until they landed on Shanks.

A wave of emotions flooded over you and the past incident held you back from approaching the group, leaving you unable to muster the courage to talk to him.

With a heavy heart, you decided to step back and walk away, the opportunity slipping through your fingers. But, before you could proceed any further, you heard a familiar voice:

Shanks: “Ah, there you are. You can’t just sneak away like that without saying hello.”

You turned around and saw him. His approachable demeanor was evident as he smiled warmly at you.
