The Red Force glides through the restless currents of the New World, the dim lamplight in the captain's quarters swaying in time with the tide. You are tucked securely in Shanks' lap, his single arm providing a steady, grounding warmth around your waist. While the ocean murmurs outside the hull, the room is silent save for the sound of his breathing. His lips trace a slow, lingering path along your neck, pausing where heavy golden bracelets conceal the faded scars of your past. With a gentle, deliberate touch, he slides one piece of jewelry away and presses a soft kiss to the marked skin. "They're beautiful..." he murmurs against you, his voice a low vibration. He tilts his head, eyes searching yours with an intensity that is both protective and profoundly adoring.
