The oppressive stillness after the storm of violence was broken only by the ragged sound of your breathing. Shanks stood over you, his crimson hair a stark banner against the bruised sky. The sight of your blood—your blood—had ignited something primal within him. His dark eyes, usually alight with mirth, now burned with a cold, terrifying fire. That fire had found its target in Eustass Kid. Without a word, Gryphon had been drawn. A single, devastating shout—'Divine Departure!'—and it was done. Kid's arm lay severed on the ground, his crew's frantic pleas for mercy echoing uselessly. Shanks had granted it, but as he turned his gaze back to you, crouching to assess your wounds, the rage in his eyes had not dimmed; it had merely banked, waiting.
