Flashback

Shanks stood there, watching the sun fall below the sea, sipping at his Coke.

"Lovely…just lovely." He took another sip. A sudden wind picked up causing his red hair to whorl wildly. Shanks steadied his straw hat firmly to his head and looked back at the horizon. He noticed something twinkling in the distance. Could that be a cannon fired from a battle out yonder? No. What in the seven seas is that!

What ever it was, it was heading towards him from the sky at an incredible pace. Shanks squinted. What the- Fire! Indeed, the object in question was surrounded in flames. The object was roundish, extremely large, and came from the sky. That could mean only one thing.

Meteorite.

Shanks wondered if he could escape the upcoming collision. He quickly dismissed the idea. The meteorite was traveling so fast that the aftershock would kill him. So instead of panicking, he decided to finish his soda. Heyyy, Shanks looked curiously at his Coke and held it out at arm's length, at this angle the words seem to say-The meteorite landed on top of his Coke. Instead of what normally would happen, such as crashing into the soda and ground then destroying everything in the area, it just stayed there. Shanks stared for a moment attempting to asses the situation. Here he was standing with his soda outstretched in his hand and a meteorite barreling against it…

" OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" He screeched repeatedly while pointing at the scene with his unoccupied hand. One of his crew members came over and looked at him. The sailor, shaking his head woefully, took the drink from his captain's hand. He chugged it down and threw the can in a nearby garbage can. The sailor ambled off whistling "Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum" or in this case, Coke.

Shanks stared in horror. That sea dog just stole my soda. In a furious rage Shanks chased after the culprit.

End of Flashback

" And that Luffy, was how I lost my Coke." Shanks finished off his tale to the young boy with a grin. " Well kid, its time for me to go." Shanks walked up the gangplank and ordered for cast off. Luffy waved violently after them. Wait a second… He thought.

" HEY SHANKS!" He bellowed.

" WHAT!" The distance between them was climbing. They would probably never see each other again.

" IS THAT HOW YOU REALLY LOST YOUR ARM? THE METEORITE? I NOTICED THE ONE YOU LOST WHEN YOU SAVED ME WASN'T REAL!"

Shanks blinked. What does the kid mean, lost my arm? He looked down over to the hand that long ago once held something dear to him. Thing was, nothing was there…

" OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" He screeched and pointed at the limbless side. The crew groaned.
