Thesis: You know, when it comes to Shanks in the One Piece world, it seems like he's the kind of person who only reveals his true strength when he's facing off against people he truly despises. In contrast, when it's people he doesn't hate, at least not yet, he might come across as surprisingly laid-back and seemingly weak.
Let's delve into this a bit further with a few arguments:
Argument 1 - Shanks vs. People He Doesn't Hate: Take a look at Shanks when he's up against individuals he doesn't seem to harbor any particular animosity toward. For instance:
for instance:
Sanji vs Zoro
Roger vs White Beard
when they have clear goals
Akainu vs Aokiji
So, it seems that Shanks operates on a unique dynamic, reserving his true strength for those he genuinely despises, while maintaining a more relaxed demeanor when dealing with others, at least until the situation escalates. It's a fascinating aspect of his character in the One Piece world.
Let's delve into this a bit further with a few arguments:
Argument 1 - Shanks vs. People He Doesn't Hate: Take a look at Shanks when he's up against individuals he doesn't seem to harbor any particular animosity toward. For instance:
- When he encountered Higuma, he didn't even bother to fight back. It was like he couldn't be bothered.
- Then there's his interaction with White Beard, where it was more of a brief clash and a farewell than an all-out brawl.
- And when it comes to Mihawk, it's interesting. Mihawk views Shanks as someone he wants to challenge and surpass. He actively seeks out Shanks for battles. In contrast, Shanks doesn't really see Mihawk as an enemy to conquer. In fact, he considers Mihawk a friend.
- Take, for example, his reaction to Kid when Kid posed a threat to his friend. Shanks saw Kid as a genuine enemy at that moment and unleashed his true power.
- Then there's the intriguing case of Shanks vs. Greenbull, where we can anticipate a different level of intensity.
for instance:
Sanji vs Zoro
Roger vs White Beard
when they have clear goals
Akainu vs Aokiji
So, it seems that Shanks operates on a unique dynamic, reserving his true strength for those he genuinely despises, while maintaining a more relaxed demeanor when dealing with others, at least until the situation escalates. It's a fascinating aspect of his character in the One Piece world.
