Red-Hair: You Think I Have Clout? My Brother Has Even More!

Jesus Burgess: "Captain, you're not only one of the Four Emperors now, you're also the most respected person in the world. Hardly anyone dares to slight you."

Lucky Roux: "Lots of people say you have the Face-Face Fruit, but we know your reputation comes from your strength."

Shanks: "I'm not the most respected person in the world. I can't compare to my big brother."

Benn Beckman: "Captain, you have a big brother?!"

Shanks: "Yeah. Very few people know about him. His reputation is even greater than mine. And he's better than me at swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and Conqueror's Haki."

The entire Red Hair Pirates fell silent.

"The captain is already this strong and so respected. How insanely powerful must his big brother be?"

"I don't know how insanely powerful my brother is, either. After all, I haven't seen him in ages."

As he spoke of his rarely seen, elusive brother, the Four Emperor Shanks wore a rare look of admiration.
