Shanks can't help what happens next. He can tell this is serious to Uta, but he cracks up with a gentle laugh, all the same, as he moves his hand to squeeze hers.

"Uta..." He shakes his head. "Luffy lives to fight. He's been fighting his whole life. You two have been challenging each other since you were little children. You think he's going to let some fight come between you?"

That's not the crew, though.

"His crew seems to be people after his own heart. Which is common of captains. Either they'll follow what their captain would want, or let it go because it wasn't personal. But some of them live to fight, too." Shanks can't shake his conviction on this one - they're not going to hold a grudge on this.

He has no idea they haven't lived through this fight, yet, which changes a lot of outlook.
