You dont know his full backstory though.
Oda uses Shanks to tell the Ideals he considers good.
He is basically the Kakashi or All Might equivalent of OP.
There will be nuance to such a character. Wait till Oda finishes his story.
great point
tho I hate it that he is selling the idea of
"pain as a child makes you a good character"
and we are all buying it
