Shanks, previously a member of the Roger Pirates, was discovered by the crew during the God Valley Incident. As the island crumbled, the pirates recovered loot and stumbled upon Shanks in a treasure chest. This marked the beginning of his journey as a Roger Pirate and eventually led to him becoming Gol D. Roger's apprentice. Shanks underwent rigorous training and even participated in battles alongside Roger, including the clash with Whitebeard. As Shanks grew under Roger's mentorship, he was entrusted with the renowned Straw Hat.

Upon Roger's return from Laugh Tale, Shanks displayed unexplained tears, leading to the eventual disbandment of the crew. One year later, Roger was executed in Loguetown, witnessed by Shanks, Buggy, and other pirates. It was on this day that Shanks embarked on his own quest to become a formidable pirate. Surprisingly, Shanks had no intention of becoming the Pirate King, despite being viewed as the next Roger and a future leader. His motives seemed to be connected to Luffy, as hinted in the Final Saga.

In the recently released film, One Piece Film Red, there were significant revelations about Red Haired Shanks, the highly revered Yonko in the One Piece community. Fans learned a great deal about his past, including the fact that when Shanks arrived in East Blue, he had a bounty of 1.04 billion berries. Although not yet an emperor at that time, Shanks was already a feared pirate around the world. During this period, he also boldly attacked a government ship and successfully stole the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

Among the many insights provided in One Piece Film Red, creator Oda shed light on Shanks' impressive fighting style. One remarkable ability unveiled is Shanks' power to nullify his opponents' Observation Haki, a crucial skill for those who can foresee the future in battle. According to the accompanying Volume 4 billion, released alongside the film, Shanks possesses the dangerous skill to disrupt his opponents' breathing, effectively rendering them unable to use Observation Haki and disrupting their ability to see the future. This extraordinary power solidifies Shanks' reputation as one of the most formidable and feared Yonkos in the world of One Piece.

Master Of Observation Haki

Fans are well aware of Shanks' exceptional skill in preventing his opponents from utilizing Observation Haki. However, recent events in the manga have unveiled that Shanks himself is an impressive practitioner of the Color of Observation. This was evident during his encounter with Kid, wherein Shanks exhibited the ability to foresee the future even before Kid initiated his attack.

Shanks anticipated the destruction of the majority of his pirate fleet by Kid, and took immediate action to avert this catastrophic outcome. It was evident from the chapter that Shanks possessed the capability to foresee events at least 10 seconds in advance, if not more. With this incredible mastery of Observation Haki, Shanks undeniably stands as the most skilled practitioner in One Piece.

There are multiple characters in the story who possess the ability to foresee the future, including notable individuals like Katakuri and Luffy. However, none of these characters are capable of seeing events more than 10 seconds ahead. In contrast, Shanks has the remarkable capacity to envision an entire sequence unfold in his mind and tactfully respond to it. This distinctive ability not only demonstrates his expertise in the Color of the Supreme King but also his mastery of all other forms of Haki. Nevertheless, his overpowering Color of Observation is not his greatest asset. His most formidable skill lies in his exceptional control over Conqueror's Haki, also referred to as the Color of the Supreme King.

Master Of Conqueror's Haki

While Shanks possesses incredible prowess in utilizing Observation Haki, capable of disabling his opponents' own Observation Haki, his true strength lies in his mastery of Conqueror's Haki. This rare ability is possessed by only a select few individuals in the One Piece world, with even fewer being able to wield it at an exceptional level. Luffy, during his time in Wano, managed to acquire this skill and ultimately triumphed over Kaido by harnessing its power in conjunction with his formidable Devil Fruit awakening. Although Luffy's mastery of Haki is undeniably impressive, evident by his overpowering of Kaido, Shanks takes this ability to an entirely new echelon. In One Piece Film Red, Shanks is shown utilizing his Conqueror's Haki, causing genuine trepidation among even the esteemed Admirals of the Navy. Moreover, Shanks's sheer might enables him to incapacitate Vice Admirals with a single demonstration of this extraordinary power.

Although already highly impressive, Shanks possesses an exceptional ability to infuse the Color of the Supreme King. During his battle against Kid, he imbued his sword, Gryphon, with Conqueror's Haki, effortlessly obliterating both Kid and even Killer with a single strike. Shanks accomplished this feat by employing Divine Departure, a technique he learned directly from his mentor Roger, the former Pirate King. It is evident that Shanks continues to uphold the standards set by Roger, and he may just be the most formidable individual in the entire world. Shanks' fighting style revolves around his extraordinary Observation Haki, overpowering his opponents' own Observation Haki before employing Supreme King Haki to annihilate his enemies.
