[ It's true, even for Shanks. Luffy is like a bright light that warms everything around him. It's not the same without him, but Shanks doesn't want anyone he cares for here. Unless they are here, then he's going to enjoy every last second with them. ]

[ Shanks has gone looking for Luffy's statue, and found it. He sat with it, drank with it, talked to it, and left it a cup of juice. He could tell the others, if they asked, but they don't, so he doesn't say. ]

[ Talking about Luffy is one way of keeping his spirit with them, Shanks feels. ]

[ To hear what Luffy did, Shanks laughs, impressed. ]

One should never mess with my friends. [ He chuckles. ] But that level of it reminds me a lot of my former captain.

[ His cheeks feel warm at the realization Sanji's right, he must have. But at least it was mutual. His eyes level with Sanji's. ]

And he made the same impression on me.
