The second was the Lord of the Coast, which had torn off his left arm with a single casual bite!
Memes aside, Adrian had never truly understood how either of those two incidents had happened.
When Mountain Bandit King Higuma dumped a plate of food over Shanks's head and Shanks showed no anger whatsoever, that could still be chalked up to his naturally optimistic, easygoing personality.
But Adrian could find absolutely no explanation for the Lord of the Coast biting Shanks's left arm clean off.
None of that "I bet it on the new era" nonsense!
His left hand had been Great Swordmaster Shanks's dominant hand!
Not to mention that Shanks possessed top-tier Conqueror's Haki, which could easily knock sea beasts unconscious!
In the original timeline, after the Lord of the Coast bit off his left arm, Shanks had driven it away by unleashing his Conqueror's Haki!
But when Adrian saw Bald Eagle, who possessed the Calamity-Calamity Fruit, a great many things suddenly made sense.
There was no doubt about it.
In the original timeline, Shanks must have defeated CP0's Bald Eagle on this occasion and seized the Gum-Gum Fruit!
At the same time, however, Bald Eagle's Calamity-Calamity Fruit, or perhaps some other ability of his, had inflicted severe hidden injuries on Shanks!
To the point that...
Shanks, who had been capable of competing with Dracule Mihawk for the title of World's Greatest Swordsman a year earlier, could not kill—no, could not even [drive away]—a mere Lord of the Coast in the East Blue a year later!
And that was not all.
Adrian believed that the Red Hair Pirates, not just Shanks himself, must have suffered heavy losses during this operation.
The strongest evidence was that, during his year-long stay in the East Blue, Shanks had specifically visited Syrup Village
