Powers & Abilities The Lil Guy between Monsters - will Shanks have any Powerlevel Title and what it means

#1
The little guy with red hair standing beside Natural-Born Destroyer, World's Strongest Man, Self-Proclaimed Ultimate Being, World's Strongest Creature.

---

Let's count the main blessings of each Emperor:

- BM: Extreme physical strength, Soul Fruit, AdvCoC

- WB: Extreme physical strength, 12 Supreme Blade Bisento and its mastery, Quake Fruit, AdvCoC

- Teach: Quake Fruit, Darkness Fruit, (likely?) AdvCoC

- Kaidou: Extreme physical strength, Kanabo of exceptional strength and its mastery, Dragon Fruit, AdvCoC

- Shanks: Gryphon sword (Meito?) and its mastery, AdvCoC

---

They all most likely have AdvCoC since Chinjao said to Luffy that becoming PK includes surpassing every Conqueror (CoC user), thus surpassing Roger. The Emperors are ALL SKY-SPLITTERS.

So i find it weird that Shanks is a lil guy among the giants who had genetic advantage like indestructible bodies and superhax mythical DFs.

But Shanks has certain serious hypes:

- He was hyped by Gorosei as something can't be handled or dictated

- His CoC is hyped by Marco, Jozu, WB (Moby Dick scene)

- His battles against Mihawk is said to be legendary by WB

- He is the only living person to be hyped by Kaidou's recognition of Luffy's potential to be a great pirate

---

So after chapter 1026 dropped, i think it's finally the right time to predict this kind of stuff:

1. I think Shanks will have the title of "World's Strongest Haki User".

2. I think so because everytime Shanks is hyped, it was always because of his haki. "With weak resolve, you won't even be able to retain your consciousness, in front of that man. His haki is as strong as ever." , Akainu shown signs of being affected by Shanks' CoC while the latter parried his magma fist, Kaidou remembered Shanks as among the only ones capable of fighting him - and then stated AdvCoC can only be used by the very strongest.

3. The interpretation of this title will be: There will be fighter/s who has stronger muscles than him (like WB or Kaidou), or better sword techniques than him (like Mihawk), or better speed than him (like Kizaru), better environmental advantage (Akainu, Aokiji, Kaidou), even better users of Color of Armament Haki (like maybe Mihawk's Black Blade or WB).

But currently, i think Shanks will have the strongest Conqueror's Haki in the world.

Thus Luffy surpassing Shanks in AdvCoC will mean so much in the narrative, since it means a peak fulfillment of Chinjao's ideological challenge to Luffy of what being a PK is all about.

And now friends, the main topic. Now it's time for me to ask you these:

1. Will Shanks have any title that is powerlevel-related? If so, what will it be?

2. What is the reason for you to think that he will [[ have that / not have any ]] powerlevel-related title?

3. If you're among the ones that think that he will have powerlevel title, what will the title's meaning and interpretation? What is the special thing about his power? What is its significance in OP's powerscaling world?


Obligatory panel:

Shanks' hype is that everyone runs from him now.

Mihawk? "Nah fam, dont wanna fight one-armed dude". >>>>"Nah fam, never agreed to fight Shanks. Imma head out".
Blackbeard? "Nah fam, dont wanna fight you now. Maybe later?".
Akainu? "Nah fam, Sengoku-sama plx end the war".

Fuckers running from him like he's the plague.

Only WB, Kaido & Mihawk have Epithets related to their Power Levels
Epithets like:

Strongest Haki User
Strongest DF User
Strongest Fishman
Strongest Marine
Strongest Cyborg
Strongest Martial Artist
... etc

Are all Non-Canon & Fanmade
If Shanks gonna have a Power Epithet though, then i expect Giants gave him one

Shanks' used to be Mihawk rival, that's alone a title worth of respect :kata:
"Rival of the WSS" :steef:
Mihawk >~ Shanks' > Rocks duo
I would say more Mihawk >> Shanks for now based off what I saw in the manga.

Shanks is perhaps a Kizaru level guy and that will arguably come 2 spots before in the Zoro major opponents scale compared to Mihawk.

then
1- change your glasses
2- read the correct manga


Mihawk is barely a top tier base of on screen events
Shanks stands among Kings of the verse


Shanks ONLY on screen attack = Kaido strongest on scree attack

Shanks - has a lot of scars, lose arm to a fish, 1 out of 4 Emperors
Mihawk - no scars, has 2 arms, the only WSS out there

Shanks' is famous because he fought Mihawk just like how Moria is famous because he fought Crydo :cheers:

Any Shanks wank is welcome. I have seen so much disrespect for Shanks that I decided to be a fan boy of Shanks, even though my username says I am NotAfanboy, yohohoho,

On a serious note, Shanks dont need a title, the Yonko itself is a title (yes, directed at you Warlord wankers ✓Mihawk).

No matter how hard you try, Shanks will always have greater portrayal than Mihawk, Admirals, and other Yonkos.

Shanks character is very unique. He is fearless. Other Yonkos have their own goals, so they struggle for that and have weak points, and they have something to lose if they go out for a war.


Shanks on the other hand, entrusted his dream to Luffy. He has nothing to lose. He already sacrificed his arm for Luffy.
If someone goes against Shanks, it means YOLO, there will be no peace discussions later. It works as a deterrent.

Cant wait for Shanks return, the most bad ass character in One Piece :endthis:
