Genuinely intrigued by Kidd's encounter with the Red Hair Pirates: the fact that they are the ones responsible for cutting off his arm is a delightfully grim reminder that Shanks and his crew are, despite appearances, brutal. I can very much see it as being the result of a lesson in humility (i.e. he mocked Shanks' own lost arm as a sign of weakness and consequently lost his own)
