The Red-Haired Reign (Shanks)

They call me Shanks—red mane like a firestorm flarin'

Legend from the East Blue, watch 'em all start starin'

I don’t need a blade to split the sky in two

Just a stare from the king, and your will breaks through

I'm the calm in the storm, the hush 'fore the blast

With a smile on my face while I bury your past

Never needed the crown, but I’m feared like a king

One arm gone, still got that Conqueror's swing

You talk about power? I knew Goal D. Ra-jur

When the sea ran blood and the flames burned higher

I'm a relic and a ghost, a myth on the sea

Yet every Yonko knows they don’t fuck with me

From the deck of the Red Force, I watch fools flex pride

While I sip my sah-key slow and let the weak men die

You chase titles— Ho-kah-gay dreams on a pirate ship

But I been dodgin' world wars with a single slip

Tamed that madman Kaidō with a walk and a glare

Stopped the bloodbath at Marine-ford, left 'em frozen in fear

Who else but me walks into the lion’s cage

And comes out with a laugh, while the world’s enraged?

Red hair flowin', the sea god's steps

Where the map fades out, that’s where I’ve slept

Legends rise, but legends fade

I stay rooted like the blade I laid on Whitebeard's grave

I don’t chase treasure, I guard balance and fate

While you count up coins, I manipulate states

The Five Elders listen when I enter the hall

And I ain’t even Government—I just make 'em stall

You flex bounties, I'm the unseen tide

Had a future Pirate King look me in the eye

Gave that boy my hat, not a weapon, but a vow

That one day he’d rise—bet they feel it now

Taught Loo-fee freedom, not just rage in a glove

Taught the world that real strength comes from what you love

I'm the man in the mist, the last breath of peace

Before Blackbeard rises and the world’s on its knees

Let 'em war for the One Piece, let 'em bleed in the foam

I already found treasure in the crew I call home

Benn Beckman at my side, chain-smokin' brains

While Lucky Roux barrels through bloodstained lanes

Yeah, I joke, I laugh, I drink 'til I fall

But test my resolve and you’ll shatter through walls

Never lost a war, I just walk away

But if I unsheath the sword, you're done that day

Red hair flowin', the sea god's steps

Where the map fades out, that’s where I’ve slept

Legends rise, but legends fade

I stay rooted like the blade I laid on Whitebeard's grave

I’m not your hero or villain, I’m the sea's true course

I bend the wind, break fate with silent force

When the final war comes, I might just grin

'Cause while the world’s ending... I already win
