Your post about Shanks ‘babysitting’ Yassop is so cute 😭💕 This literally gave me a thought about Shanks knowing Zeff and his little precious eggplant (Sanji)
Like, the Red Head Pirates goes to the Baratie and meet the chef, Red Leg Zeff, who has his adopted son in the ship. The little boy is respectfull and always wants to help. And Shanks just- starts to talk and play with the boy. They come to the restaurant often because of how much good the food is and everytime, Shanks plays with the kid.
Zeff also talks A LOT about his son, pround of how he is good at cooking and fighting. The Red Head Pirates ends up don't going to the Baratie for like, 2 or 3 years, and when they come again, Shanks notice the boy isn't there, Zeff tells Sanji is in the crew of some rubber boy with a Straw Hat and Shanks is like "THIS BOY IS MY SON-!" and they start to talk about everything who happened.
Bonus: Zeff starts to talk about some boy who Sanji talks a lot in the letters and Yassop, who is near to them, just yells "THIS KID YOU'RE SAYING IS MY SON" and turns out they discover that the kids of all of them are in the same crew.
THIS IS SO FUNNY AND SO SWEET AT THE SAME TIME I AM DYING JKESBFSJKDBFKJDBF PROUD DADS!!!!!!! PROUD DADS!!!!!!!!!!!
Shanks: Where's your little cook? I wanted to have one of his dishes. He's getting better than you, old man.
Zeff: Watch your words or I might kick you out of here. And he's not so little anymore, he's nineteen.
Shanks: HE'S WHAT????
Benn: Sometimes, when years pass, people grow up. If you weren't sure-
Shanks: Haha. So funny. Okay! So where is that young man?
Zeff: Ugh- New pirate took him with him. See the world and shit. To find the All Blue, he said.
Shanks: Look who's following his father's steps! You must be proud, huh? You'll never say it, but I know! A father always knows. And who's that new pirate around? Wouldn't hurt to know.
Zeff: Strange kid. Says he wants to find the One Piece. Devil fruit user. Rubbery body. Straw hat? Reminded me of you. Luf-
Shanks: LUFFY! THAT'S MY KID!
Benn: He's not your son.
Shanks: HE'S SORT OF SOMETHING LIKE MY KID!
And then they stay there for a long time, the Red Hair pirates enjoying the food while Shanks and Zeff have this conversation close to them. That's when Zeff talks about what he knows about his son's crew, because Shanks literally knows nothing besides the basics and what Mihawk told him about Zoro. (Making this about Sanuso because you can't say that Sanji talks a lot about Usopp and not expect me to write it like this).
Zeff: Kid got himself an interesting team. Green-haired guy that almost gets himself killed. Idiot. Eggplant hates his guts, or so he says, but he has never been too good at hiding shit so it's obvious he cares about the swordsman. He talks about a girl too. Loves her. Believes he's gonna marry her. Most precious thing in the world, he says. A treasure of navigator, apparently. Usually, he's annoying when it comes to women, but this is too much even for him.
Shanks: Oh! Young love! Are you sure she isn't the reason why he joined them?
Zeff: Nah, it was your kid. He's persuasive. And I wouldn't call it love. At least not with her.
Shanks: Care to explain?
Zeff: Lil cook talks about a young man. A sniper. He's... Fond of him. I don't know how to explain it, but I know him. There's just something about the letters... Heck, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. But Eggplant and this kid, Usopp-
Shanks: WHAT?! YASOPP!
Yasopp: WHAT DO YOU WANT???
Shanks: YOUR KID'S DATING LIL COOK
Yasopp: Wait what- (basically falls off the chair) WHAT?! Is he in his crew? Is he alright? Is he as cool as me? Of course he is! Wait, did you say something about dating?
Zeff: They're not dating.
Yasopp: Of course Usopp would date a cook, he has always loved food-
Shanks: Yes, because when you left the only thing the kid could do was eat-
Yasopp: Shut up! Is he alright, red leg? What does your kid say in the letters?
And they spend like, hours talking about them together, being all proud of their children <3
