Questions & Mysteries Why is Shanks so strong?

[Monkey D Theories]

Is it hard work or daddy’s genes?

Using Luffy for reference, I’m guessing it’s probably the latter.

Being stronger than WSS even after crippling himself is not a sin you know.

That's the thing he was never stronger at any point even less so now as a cripple

This is fun luffy and Shanks are loda's favorite characters but they are weaker than zoro and mihawk @nik87

 

[comrade]

Is there any top tier that isn't one due to genes or DF?

 

[comrade]

Woro.
Shimotsuki genes are already cucked away by pinzoros and other fodders. Yet gigachad zoro reigns supreme

Last time I checked, you are born with CoC. Big Mom also had fodder parents but was born with both CoC and a monstrous body

He just defeated MIdd and he's about to get wrecked by Teach.
Not strong enough.

Descendant of Ryuma (looks just like him as well)

He has high/top tier ancestry

Big Mom might be the only character in OP that's a top tier without a crazy background

Rayleigh

Yeah thats exactly the case since he is stronger. Sorry to disappoint Monkey D. Theories scurrying around to self-console Shanks being stronger.

Not even DF just look at most of their genes

Kaido is an Oni, Teach is a D, Shanks is a Figarland, Luffy is everything, Garp and Dragon are self explanatory, Roger is a D, etc

There are very few exceptions

If you include DFs then that's pretty much all of them lol

As every shonen, you need above average genes to make it out of the gutter.

All of Mihawk's hypetools need to be strong.

Eh.. Tbf she probably had to inherit the monstrous body, so her parents might not be total fodder.

There is no need for scurrying around since the manga outright confirms Mihawk >>> Shanks your last glimmer of hope was crushed when Shanks pulled out his sword to deal with Kid.

"Erm no.. Mihawk fraud title.. Vista diffed.. Shanks Haki man.. Not officially said to be swordsman"

Shanks haki is so powerful he can defeat admiral with it yet couldn't even prevent Kid's attack without drawing his sword
In marineford why didn't he block Akainu fist with his haki alone time and time again this hakiman refuses to stop relying on gryphon

Nah man it's all for show he just likes to show off his cool sword you don't understand why would he be a swordsman because he always appears with one and never fights without one?

The Dark King.

P.S. Big Mom and likely Mihawk.
