Powers & Abilities Shanks' fighting style

#23
- conquerors haki that can physically damage people and objects just by presence. like how fujitora can do localized gravity, but with haki. whitebeards ship cracking was him holding back. shanks will do stupid shit like be able to look at something and it just shatters apart or gets crushed under the weight of his will.

- top tier swordsman obviously

- probably some kind of extra haki stand thing, like how Zoro's Asura is physically making real, solid extra bodies and swords with his haki shanks will have a power up form where he replaces his missing arm w a haki arm, or go full jojos


- also he'll just cheat.

I have a friend who insists Shanks looks like Thor...But I see more connection between Shanks and tyr..I'm Asian and I don't have many studies, but it's like saying to tyr God of War...And after revealing the names of the Five Elders, the names of the rest were probably chosen from the planets...Wasn't Mars the symbol of the god of war?
I hope I'm not mistaken, Mars and Shanks are both red, and if Oda thinks so complexly, I'll be mad
I forgot to write this:chirstsad:

You guys would realise Shanks had to evolve from being just a "swordsman "

He can use guns , has blasting moves without his sword. Can use his kicks
You see how Ray can fight? But even better

Don't be surprised when Shanks says to Kid : "I'm more than just a swordsman, you think you will win cause you took my sword away?"
Similar to Linlin bragging to Kid to not get cocky cause they took her weapons away and thinking they can beat her in a brawl.
Also Kaido telling Luffy to not be cocky thinking he's the only one with fs.

And I'll take the biggest L in One Piece history because I think Shanks is the Swordsman..Even as a fan, I couldn't guess the fighting style of my favorite character:josad:
I know oda enjoys teasing fans, but this is really too much even for oda
oda has toyed in both ends tbf
constantly referring to him when mihawk is involved
but also never revealing his fighting style to anime/film directors, games that people keep posting , hes never revealed how he truly fights. There's an sbs where he leaves it ambiguous too. oda can really explore and do what he wants with it.

if he does things without his blade
things are about to get interesting , very interesting.



hopefully oda shows us just enough.
If it happens or not kid is probably the best opponent for us to find out against

If he takes his sword away things gonna get very interesting. Also kid and shanks having a close fight without his sword is lowkey a perfect way for oda to wank both

Shanks is technically nerfed with his weapons away and kid is still making shanks an emperor sweat

I think he likely can release more haki than usual, similar to what Zoro does for "King of hell: Three sword dragon" and what I think Kaido was doing for "Destroyer of Death thunder bagua". So that he has two levels of attacks: 1. Basic CoC attacks and 2. greater CoC attacks
In the SBS from chapter 1013 (I think) Oda drew the 4 emperors and Shanks happened to have an extremely big haki trail attached to his sword, which pretty much gave it away already.

And I think similar to KoH and Asura, he and Mihawk likely have some unique abilities aswell, most probably thanks to their swords. And he prolly can use either CoC infused sword slashes or ID CoC haki blasts channeled through his sword I think.
