Red Monarch of the Open Sea (Shanks)

They call me Shanks red mane like a wildfire brewin’

Walk into the harbor, every heartbeat ruin’

I don’t need a blade just to split your fate

One glare from a king makes the whole world break

I'm the silence in the storm right before ships drop

Smilin’ while your past sinks straight to the seabed’s top

Never wore a crown, but they bow like I reign

One arm down, still swing with a force you can't tame

Talk power? I lived it with Gol D. Roger

When the seas ran red and the bodies floated farther

I'm the myth in the mist, the ghost of the tide

And every Yon-koh knows better than to step to my side

From the deck of the Red Force, I watch clowns act tough

Sip my sah-key slow, 'cause I seen enough

You chase thrones, titles, little badges of pride

I end whole wars with a stroll and a side-eye

Tamed Kai-doh’s madness with a casual stare

Stopped Marine-ford’s slaughter, froze every killer there

Who else but me steps into the lion’s den

And walks out laughin’ while the world breaks again?

Red hair flowin’, the sea king’s breath

I’ve slept where the maps draw blank past death

Legends rise, but legends fade

Yet I'm rooted like the steel I laid on Whitebeard’s grave

I don’t chase treasure—I'm the shadow of fate

While y’all count coins, I negotiate states

The Five Elders whisper when I darken the hall

And I ain’t their soldier—I just make 'em stall

Flash bounties all you want, I’m the tide unseen

Had a future Pirate King starin’ back at me clean

Gave that boy my hat—wasn’t pity, was a vow

They hear his footsteps now, and they tremble somehow

Taught Loofie freedom, not just fists and rage

Taught the world real strength ain’t the kill, it’s the gauge

I’m the calm in the chaos, the breath before grief

Before Blackbeard rises as the ocean’s thief

Let 'em die for the One Piece, drown in their lust

I already found treasure in the few I trust

Benn Beckman at my shoulder—cold mind, sharp aim

Lucky Roo eatin' foes like it’s all a game

I laugh and I drink, I joke till I fall

But push me once and you’ll break through the wall

Never lost a war—just decided to leave

But if I draw steel? Your whole crew won't breathe

Red hair flowin’, the sea king’s breath

I’ve slept where the maps draw blank past death

Legends rise, but legends fade

Yet I'm rooted like the steel I laid on Whitebeard’s grave

Not your hero or villain—I’m the ocean’s course

I bend currents, break fate with effortless force

When the final war hits, I might just grin

'Cause while the world’s endin’… I already win
