Shanks and Shamrock

Daily Habits and Moments
Afternoon Tea: Shamrock insists on the tradition of 4:00 PM tea to discuss his studies and discipline. Shanks always joins uninvited, pouring tea into enormous jugs, putting his feet up on the fine mahogany table, and making the niece laugh until Shamrock finally gives up and covers his face with his hand.
When she falls ill: Shamrock mobilizes all the government court physicians to bring her the finest imported medicines and keeps the room absolutely silent. Shanks sits by her bedside all day juggling her, telling her exaggerated stories of his missions at sea, and bringing her treats that the doctors have strictly forbidden.
Partner in mischief: If she breaks an antique vase from Mariejois or plays a prank on a high-ranking officer, Shanks immediately takes the blame in front of the higher-ups, saying, "Oh, it was me, I tripped." Shamrock knows perfectly well it wasn't him, but he makes sure to file away and delete the official reports so his niece's reputation remains spotless.

Overprotection in the Style of a World Government
The terrified suitors: When a young nobleman or a Marine officer tries to court her, he doesn't have to deal with one man, but two. Shamrock subjects him to a cold, direct, and humiliating interrogation about his lineage and status. Meanwhile, Shanks approaches him from behind, places his hand on his shoulder with a huge grin, and releases only 1% of his Conqueror's Haki, making the poor boy's legs tremble and ensuring he never goes near her again.
Invisible escorts: If she decides to go for a walk in the Holy Land or on Navy bases, Shamrock assigns an entire squad of elite guards to follow her ten paces behind. Shanks prefers to follow her himself from the rooftops, eating fruit and making sure no one bothers her.

At the Figarland Residence and the Palace
The wardrobe dilemma for royal dinners: Shamrock makes sure she has custom-made dresses and badges from fabrics brought from the West Blue. Shanks is always trying to convince her to "forget" wearing the uncomfortable corsets and gloves and instead wear light workout clothes, earning himself murderous glares from his brother.
The personalized sword: For his birthday, Shamrock gave him a blued steel cup-hilt foil inlaid with gold (a lighter replica of his own), giving him formal fencing lessons on Saturday mornings. Shanks secretly teaches him in the afternoons how to wield the sword with brute force, dirty fighting tricks, and how to imbue Haki without relying on "elegant stance."
Classes vs. Escapes: Shamrock assigns him the best tutors in global history, diplomacy, and strategy in the government. Shanks often interrupts classes by entering through the window with food, asking the tutor to "take the day off" so he can take it flying kites or exploring the forbidden corners of the castle.

The Dynamics Between the Three (Family Chaos)

1. Arguments over her education: Shamrock buys her tutors for etiquette and classical fencing; Shanks dismisses them or distracts them to take her for walks or to train her in real combat in a disorderly fashion.
2. When she wants something: She knows exactly who to go to. If she needs official permission, a budget, or to avoid a noble punishment, she goes to Shanks. If she needs someone to impose brutal authority or resolve a serious problem with diplomacy/force, she goes to Shamrock.
3. Deep down, they are both overprotective: Although they fight over their methods, the moment someone poses a real threat to their niece, the combination of Shanks and Shamrock fighting side by side in the World Government would be the most terrifying nightmare in the entire sea.

Shamrock Figarland: The Strict and Protective Uncle
Shamrock, on the other hand, represents the epitome of perfection, honor, and noble etiquette. To him, his niece is a jewel of the Figarland family who must be protected and educated to the highest standards.
Iron discipline and manners: He's the kind of guy who notices how she walks, how she holds her teacup, and how she presents herself to the elite. He wants her to be impeccable, untouchable, and respected by everyone.
Absolute and intimidating protection: If any nobleman or army boy tries to approach her with dubious intentions, Shamrock only needs to put her hand on the golden hilt of her sword and give him a cold look for the guy to disappear off the map.
Elegant details: He gives her fine things, custom-made clothes, and high-quality ornate swords. For him, showing affection isn't about giving effusive hugs, but about making sure she has the best the World Government can offer.
His typical line: "Behave yourself. You bear the Figarland name, and I won't allow Shanks to ruin your manners like he does with his uniform."

Shanks Figarland: The Government's "Laid-Back" Uncle
By being with the Government and not being a pirate, Shanks would maintain his high-ranking official position, but he would never lose his cool and carefree personality.
The undisciplined indulgent one: Even though he's a high-ranking officer or a Holy Knight, he's anything but rigid with his niece. If she wants to break protocol, skip a boring aristocratic dinner, or grab a bite at odd hours, Shanks is her number one accomplice.
Training and protection: I wouldn't let anyone intimidate her. I would teach her to defend herself (and use Haki) under the guise of "it's for her safety," though in reality I do it while playing and laughing.
The terror of formal meetings: At solemn World Government events where everyone is stiff and serious, Shanks would be making faces at her or whispering jokes to make her laugh and get her into trouble with the instructors.
His typical line: "Come on, Shamrock, let her breathe a little. What's the point of having so much power in this world if she can't even have some fun?"

Hair Care: He is extremely meticulous with his red hair. He takes time to weave and tighten the side braids he wears on the sides of his head to ensure that not a single strand obstructs his vision during combat.
Aversion to Chaos: He hates noisy or crowded places. If he has to be in a chaotic environment, he wraps himself even more tightly in his thick blue cloak and keeps his hand fixed on the hilt of his sword, creating an invisible barrier between himself and everyone around him.

Obsession with Details: His red gloves and tall leather boots are polished every night. It is said that he can tell if someone has touched his sword without his permission simply by the exact angle at which the golden hilt rests.
Personal Habits
A Taste for High-End Tea: While others prefer sake in wooden jugs, Shamrock only consumes fine teas served in china. He has zero tolerance for cheap alcohol or rustic food.

2. Headcanons of (Daily Life and Customs)
   Routine and Lifestyle
   Impeccable Maintenance: He spends an absurd amount of time making sure his clothes don't have a single wrinkle. If his blue cape gets stained with dust or blood during a mission, he replaces it immediately; he can't stand being sloppy.
   The Art of Classical Fencing: He practices fencing every morning at dawn before any meeting. For him, combat is not just brute force or savagery, but an elegant art form where the edge of the sword must move with the fluidity of a perfect dance.

1. Personality Analysis
   Elegant, Disciplined, and Perfectionist: Unlike the free-spirited and chaotic nature of pirates, Shamrock is the embodiment of etiquette and military order.

   Noble and Unyielding Pride: He possesses an aristocratic calm that conveys superiority without the need to raise his voice. His sense of duty to the World Government or the Figarland family is absolute. He believes that the chaos of the sea must be eradicated and views informality and vulgarity with a certain disdain.

Unlike Shanks, his hairstyle is much more structured and elegant: the hair is swept back at the top front, but on the sides he has cornrows/woven braids on both sides of his head that gather the hair towards the nape of his neck, leaving the rest to fall in curly strands over his shoulders.
   Absence of Scars: Unlike Shanks' face, Shamrock's face is completely free of scars.

Right-hand habits: He learned to do practically everything with one hand at an impressive speed: from uncorking sake bottles with his teeth or sword, to rolling maps and tying his sandals with impeccable skill.

2. Headcanons from (Daily Life in the Red Force)
   In the crew and the ship
   He's terrible at putting things away: Having only one arm, he often asks Benn Beckman or Roux to hold bottles, maps, or coats for him, but half the time he forgets where he left them and blames the wind.
   The captain's hangovers: After the big parties they throw, he's the last to wake up. The crew has learned not to make loud noises near his cabin before noon if they don't want to suffer a mild, involuntary Haki attack while he sleeps off his hangover.
   Addiction to barbecued meat and sake: Although Lucky Roux is the ship's official glutton, Shanks always ends up secretly stealing pieces of meat from the grill while the cook is distracted.

Protective and ruthless: His code of honor is unwavering: you can disrespect him, but you won't touch one of his friends. If someone crosses that line, his playful side vanishes completely, giving way to a cold, calculating, and intimidating presence (enhanced by his lethal Conqueror's Haki).
A brilliant political strategist: Despite his easygoing demeanor, Shanks thinks several steps ahead. He understands the global balance of power, knows when to intervene to stop unnecessary wars (as at Marineford), and when to remain neutral. He has a mature and realistic view of the risks of the sea.

   Relaxed and carefree: Shanks is the definition of someone "chill." He'd much rather be partying, drinking sake with his crew, or lounging in the sun than getting involved in unnecessary conflicts. He has a lighthearted sense of humor and loves to playfully tease the people he cares about.
   Humility and tolerance: Unlike most pirates of the Grand Line or the Yonko, he doesn't have a fragile pride. He can endure having beer thrown on him, being mocked, or being insulted without batting an eye or seeking revenge, reserving violence only for when his loved ones are in real danger.

Texture and Drape of Garments
Collar of the Cape: The structure of the collar of his black cape is rigid and opens in a wide "V" shape towards the sides, exceeding in height the white shirt itself.
Pants Folds: Loose pants create pronounced wrinkles just above the knees and tight gathers at the bottom hem, creating that baggy volume.
