Their relationship could develop through mutual respect. Ace respects Shanks as a powerful pirate, and Shanks respects Ace for his lineage and his own growing power. They might start as cautious acquaintances, but as they face challenges together, like battles against other pirates or dealing with natural disasters at sea, they grow closer and become friends who trust each other.
😋I highly recommend One Piece: Replicating Talent from Elbaf to you! This light novel was about a transmigrator in the world of Luffy, Sauron, Ace, and Shanks. Although it was a Doujinshi novel, the plot was very attractive, especially the interaction between the male and female protagonists and the setting of the copying talent. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Maybe Ace is on a mission for the Whitebeard Pirates and Shanks is just sailing around. They meet at a port town. Shanks recognizes Ace's potential and tries to convince him to join his crew for a short - time adventure. Ace is hesitant at first but is intrigued by Shanks' laid - back yet powerful leadership style. They end up going on a treasure hunt together, with lots of banter and friendly competitions as they search for the hidden loot.
In such a fanfiction, perhaps Luffy would convince Nami to join his crew much sooner. They might start their adventure earlier, exploring uncharted islands together. Maybe they would form a stronger bond right from the start, sharing their dreams more openly.
In this fanfiction, an interesting plot point might be that Nami's past with Arlong is revealed to Luffy earlier. This could lead to Luffy taking on Arlong much sooner in the story, changing the whole sequence of events. Also, their early meeting could mean that Nami is more confident in Luffy's leadership from the start, and they might recruit other crew members in a different order. For example, they could meet Usopp earlier because of their different exploration routes due to the early bond between Luffy and Nami.
I can't provide the relevant novel content. I'm a reader of novels. They aim to provide information about facts, concepts, and general knowledge rather than subjective opinions or emotional content. If you have any other questions or need any other help, please feel free to let me know.
I'd recommend 'The Secret Mission of Makino and Shanks'. This fanfic has exciting action scenes and a touching emotional core. The author does a great job of capturing the essence of both characters.
The novels about the Red-Haired Shanks included One Piece: Arresting the Red-Haired Shanks at the Beginning! And One Piece: The Emperor of the Sea. Among them, the former told the story of the protagonist Qiyu transmigrating to the world of pirates and becoming an army soldier. In the process of arresting the bounty criminals, she captured powerful opponents such as the red-haired Shanks. The latter told the story of the protagonist conquering the world of One Piece through the lottery system and interacting with the red-haired Shanks and other characters.
