Shanks is a character in the anime and manga series One Piece. He is known for his extraordinary physical abilities and his mastery of all three forms of Haki. Here are some of his powers and abilities:
-
Haki: Shanks has the ability to use all three forms of Haki: Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki), Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), and Haoshoku Haki (Conquerors Haki) . He has almost unrivaled mastery over Kenbunshoku Haki.
-
Physical Abilities: Shanks is a normal human, but he has extraordinary physical abilities. He has shown that he can match the strength of Whitebeard. Shanks was able to stop Akainu's Devil Fruit-enhanced attack with his sword without any problem. Shanks' speed is also extremely impressive, as he was able to cover the distance from his ship to Victoria Punk in a very short time.
-
Haoshoku Haki: Shanks uses an advanced Haoshoku Haki technique to control his presence and prevent others from seeing into the future. He primarily uses his Haoshoku Haki to intimidate others and assert his dominance.
-
Swordsmanship: Shanks is a skilled swordsman and is often seen wielding a sword.
-
Leadership: Shanks is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and is known for his charisma and leadership skills.
Shanks' full potential as a fighter has not been shown in the series yet, but he is considered one of the strongest characters in the One Piece universe due to his mastery of Haki and his physical abilities.
