Idk how people can read stuff like this and not think Oda has Shanks as being the most attractive man


Oda is making Akainu very detailed like this to mimic Bunta Sugawara as much as possible. Shanks looks like a generic One Piece character in comparison to this. Akainu really stands out among One Piece chara, first time I seen him in MF I thought I was reading another series because of how photorealistic Oda would draw him at times.
Then I read he modelled him after who he believes is the most handsome man, and that he wants to cherish him. And it all made sense.
