One Piece 1053 Spoilers Reddit: Shanks Turns Out To Be A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit Eater!

The figure of Yonkou Akagami no Shanks is still the most mysterious character until One Piece 1053.

One of the mysteries until One Piece 1053 was regarding the source of its power.

From the facts and clues that Eiichiro Oda has given, Shanks is believed to have the power of the Mythical Zoan Red Dragon devil fruit aka the red dragon.

The following is a discussion of One Piece 1053 regarding the power of Shanks' Mythical Zoan devil fruit.

There are some interesting clues that can explain the real reason Shanks has eaten a devil fruit similar to Kaido.

The red-haired Yonkou is believed to have eaten the Uo Uo no Mi model of the Red Dragon, which is equivalent to Kaido.

The first clue is about how Shanks can easily compete with Kaido or other Yonkou.

This can only be answered if he has a Zoan devil fruit which automatically instantly makes the user very strong.

Then there is a second clue related to how Shanks was able to travel so fast over the sea.

This question arises because when Shanks fought Kaido, he was then able to come to the Marine headquarters in a very short time.

After restraining Kaido, he immediately came there to interfere in the war between Whitebeard and the Marines.

Again, this can only be answered if Shanks turns into a red dragon and flies over the sea.

Then he dragged the ship and its crew on top of the dragon's body or pulled it with the tail of the red dragon.

Furthermore, if the pirate ship Shanks is considered in detail, there is something interesting there.

Shanks has a red dragon-shaped statue on the muzzle of his ship.

We know that the shape of a statue or object on the muzzle of a pirate ship usually represents the strength of its captain.

An example is Luffy who has a sun-shaped statue on the muzzle of his ship and it depicts his power as the Sun God Nika.

With that in mind, it's not impossible that the red dragon statue on the muzzle of Shanks' ship depicts his strength as a Red Dragon.

Moreover, Shanks has a nickname as "Red Haired Shanks", the red color of his hair seems to show his strength.

Those are some clues up to One Piece 1053 which explains why Shanks most likely ate the Mythical Zoan Red Dragon devil fruit.

Of course, after One Piece 1053, Oda is predicted to reveal Shanks' true strength.
