My gramps! He said Shanks was a bad influence on me, based on the fact that I wanted to become a pirate because of him! So he took me to meet Dadan instead. I wasn't a huge fan at first because mountain bandits had already tried to kill me but she cool! And she was helping look after my two brothers, so it turned out all right.

This time, he does much better, although he does end up breaking part of the shell and almost breaking it in half. But, at least it didn't explode everywhere?

I think I got it. Now to get rid of the gooey stuff and make it into a robot costume!
