Oda Gives Hints About Shanks and the Fearland Family

One Piece fans have been waiting for the conundrum of who Shanks is.

Since his heroic appearance in the One Piece series, Shanks has succeeded in capturing the attention of fans.

All thanks to the extraordinary abilities and charisma that Shanks has shown.

This has also raised questions from One Piece fans, who is Shanks really?

Shanks is a popular character from the anime and manga series "One Piece". 

He is a member of the Four Emperors, a group of four of the most powerful pirates in the world, and the captain of the Red Hair Pirates.

Shanks is known for his charismatic personality, powerful presence, and formidable strength. 

He is respected and feared by both friend and foe alike, and his reputation as a pirate is renowned throughout the world. 

Shanks has demonstrated his incredible strength on numerous occasions throughout the series, both in combat and in his interactions with other characters.

One of Shanks' most notable traits is his unwavering loyalty to his friends and crewmates. 

He is willing to put himself in harm's way to protect those he cares about, even if it means risking his own life. 

This is demonstrated in his interactions with Luffy, the main protagonist of the series, whom Shanks saved from a Sea King when Luffy was a child. 

Shanks also made a promise to Luffy that he would meet him again when he became a great pirate, a promise that he fulfilled years later when Luffy had become a powerful pirate in his own right.

Shanks' loyalty extends to his crewmates as well. 

He is highly respected by his crew and is willing to make sacrifices for their sake. 

When one of his crewmates lost his arm, Shanks gave up his own arm to save his crewmate's life. 

This act of selflessness and loyalty earned him even more respect and admiration from both his crew and others in the pirate world.

Despite his reputation as a fearsome pirate, Shanks is also known for his sense of humor and laid-back personality. 

He enjoys drinking and partying with his crew, and is often seen smiling and laughing. 

This dichotomy between his fearsome reputation and his jovial personality only adds to his appeal and popularity among fans of the series.

Shanks and the Fearland Family

Many theories and speculations have emerged suggesting that Shanks is a descendant of the Tenryubito.

This is not unfounded, as there are many incidents that have earned Shanks the respect of many people.

For example, when Shanks asked to bury Ace and Whitebeard, this request was immediately approved by Sengoku.

Then, when Shanks appeared during the Reverie, the Gorosei's attitude towards him indicated that this theory is quite plausible.

In addition, Eiichiro Oda also presented a lot of information about Shanks in the One Piece 4 Billion Booklet.

This booklet was intentionally presented by Eiichiro Oda to welcome the One Piece Film: Red, which contains information about Shanks and Uta.

The booklet contains information that according to the Gorosei, Shanks comes from a family called Fearland.

This information is not detailed, but the important thing is that the Gorosei knows the origin of Shanks and the Fearland family.

This indicates that Shanks and the Fearland family are not ordinary people.

Another likely possibility is that the Fearland family comes from the 20 Kingdoms that joined forces to defeat the Ancient Kingdom.

Perhaps all this time the Fearland family has been in Marijoa and decided to leave from there, like the Nefertari and Donquixote families did.

However, considering the Gorosei's favorable attitude towards Shanks, it is possible that the Fearland family is still in Marijoa.

The booklet also explains that Shanks was kidnapped at the age of one until he was found by Roger and Rayleigh.

The Gorosei know why Shanks became a pirate and they know his past, so they do not touch him.

This makes them respect Shanks as part of the Fearland family.

This could be the answer to questions about him, such as how people who greatly respect Shanks act towards him.

However, everything still requires more information from Eiichiro Oda as the creator of One Piece.
