Wait, what’s his connection to Usopp?? It was Sanji who took care of him before their fight, and I doubt Shanks cares enough about the chef he’s never met to spare Gin for that reason alone. Maybe he joined the Red Haired Pirates after Krieg was captured (?) or died (???), that would make more sense to me. As far as Yamato and Carrot forming a harem, *gestures to every arc-specific princess including Vivi*
Yasopp is an old mate of Shanks. Usopp was in Baratie. Dropping Usopp's name alongside Luffys could come a long way to earn Red Haired Pirate's favor
The princesses thing, Yeah... Hentai is a big part of Japan's culture and a billion dollars business. Fanservice, cute/ecchi characters are a prt of shonen, no doubt. But still, having the actual babes in his particular ship is going a step beyond
But yes, first we have Nami herself, then Alabasta we got Vivi, etc etc, every single arc we have the hot female characters for yall degens to fap to
Yamato to me is just one of Wano's hot chicks like Rebecca and Viola where we hotties for Dressrosa and Smoothie and Pudding for WCI
