Serious question to some of the people still thinking Kid is gonna survive this why WOULDNT Shanks kill Kid and his crew here? He already showed him mercy once, and as we know from their Intro they are not scared of killing people that threaten them. Would it be sheer pity/gratitude for conveniently delivering them an express ticket to the One Piece? Is that really what you want for your boy?
To survive another humiliating defeat at the hands of a Yonko because of pity and to be relegated to a Luffy cheerleader in Elbaf?
If I gave the faintest shit about the guy I would PRAY he dies here, at least that way his humiliation is over.
