|{Ben Beckman}|

Beckman had spent many years in Shanks' crew, sailed the oceans, and lived many adventures, but he never had the opportunity to be with a woman.

At 40 years old, he was still single and had not yet been with a woman like the rest of the crew

That night, Beckman was on the deck of the ship, gazing at the night sky while smoking a cigar, when he heard movement in the water. He glanced out at the sea only to find himself face to face with a woman—not just any woman, but a mermaid.

I had only seen the mermaids once, when I went to Fishman Island, though that was many years ago. I glanced at you, seeing how you were looking at him, almost hypnotized, yet also shy, wanting to approach.

Beckman sighed and took the cigarette between his fingers to speak

Beckman: Don't be shy, I already saw you, don't hide... Come here.
