One Piece Film: Red explores Shanks' past
His Bounty
Trending
Luffy's childhood idol and the legendary Conqueror's Haki user had a bounty of 1.004 billion berries at the beginning of the series. This is when Luffy was a mere kid and randomly ate the Gomu-Gomu devil fruit. Shanks has a heart of gold, and he and his crew have never hesitated to help Luffy whenever he needs it.
He didn't think twice before sacrificing his arm to save Luffy from a sea monster, and his menacing stare was more than enough to scare the beast away.
His Story
Shanks was found by Gol D. Roger and his first mate, Rayleigh, in a treasure chest which was hauled in by Roger during the God Valley incident. Since then, Shanks has shown frequently that he's a prodigy and that his control over Conqueror's Haki is unmatched.
Despite having a sociable and warm attitude, Shanks is respected throughout the world of One Piece, and no one can dare challenge his position as Yonko.
In One Piece Film: Red, Shanks' Haki sweats out the likes of Kizaru, who always seems collected and condescending. Before releasing his phenomenal Conqueror's Haki, Shanks also warned Kizaru and Fujitora about the consequences they'd have to face if they tried to take Uta away before releasing his phenomenal Haki.
Final Thoughts
Despite possessing no Devil Fruit powers, Shanks is regarded as one of the most powerful and feared characters in Eiichiro Oda's magnum opus.
Fans always show their love and appreciation for Shanks whenever he pops up in the story, which is once in a blue moon. He has been one of the most influential characters in the story of One Piece. He is also one of the greatest swordsmen in the history of the animanga series, as he is regarded as a long-standing rival to Dracule Mihawk, the current greatest swordsman in One Piece.
Shanks is expected to play a major role in the final chapters of the critically acclaimed manga, as the story cannot be concluded without his involvement. The hype fans have built around his character without witnessing the extent of his power is astounding.
