#wayward princesses and old ladies he just habitually rescues and then says yeah sure I’ll keep protecting you……….. bro………..

[petrichorium]

Now that this has been animated I can add this to the “shanks interacting w his subordinate crews in ways that make me insane” list

Like my god his body language w her???? Tries his best to keep his hand a respectful distance away until he’s knocked off-kilter enough that he has to catch her as he regains his balance and then pulls back again…….. and then just lets her keep holding him. Not to mention the fact that he took the brunt of the force bc we Know he could stand his ground if he wanted to but instead he just lets her topple him so she won’t hurt herself. My god what a man 🫠

Everything abt this appearance is sexy ofc but truly nothing hotter than shanks reassuring this old lady that he’ll protect her (but they were chirping each other so he has to keep that up ofc)
