To be honest, Shanks had never been afraid of anyone.
Even if Randall stood before him, he would dare to fight if he had to.
But daring to fight did not mean he wanted that man coming after him.
If he seriously hurt that man's sister, Enma really would hunt the Red Hair Pirates to the bitter end.
That would be an absolute nightmare!
