It is. Ain't no way Shanks would be popular if he was weak. All Shanks fans talk about is his power level and hype. I just singled them out because of how many act like bitches lol.
Like a Killer or Kidd level dude would not be blocking hits from Akainu, scaring Aramaki off with their Haki, clashing with Mihawk about a decade ago, etc.
