Shanks

shanks

Appearance Shanks wears a long black cape over his shoulders and, until he met Luffy, wore a straw hat obtained from his former captain, who accompanied him for many years and became synonymous with his image. [2] During his earliest appearances, he wore a pair of slightly baggy brown pants that were pulled up to mid-calf with gold buttons on the outside. Recently, he has been seen wearing a similar-looking pair of pants, but with floral designs on them. In all of his appearances, he wears a pair of sandals and sports a short, scruffy beard. [16][6][15] In all of his appearances as captain of his crew, he wears a white shirt half-buttoned, leaving his chest exposed. Around his waist is a medium-sized red sash, and a saber on his right side. Initially, in Chapter 1, his shirt was tucked under the sash, but since leaving Luffy's home village the shirt is unbuttoned, giving him a more mature appearance than when he was seen in the past.[16][6][15] Shanks' most notable feature is the red color of his hair, the origin of his own epithet. On his face he has three scars on his left eye made by Blackbeard,[6] and when saving Luffy from a Sea King he lost his left arm.[17] Every time he confronts Teach, his scars begin to burn.[18] At the beginning of One Piece, Shanks bears some resemblance to Luffy, but as Oda's style has changed over time, he began to show more distinct and distinct features. His eyes are drawn more narrowed and sharp—as opposed to the round shape that is common in the drawing style of almost all characters at the beginning of the story—and his nose is more defined, similar to Nico Robin's. His facial features are rougher and more aggressive, while his physical build is noticeably more robust, and although he is not among the largest characters in the series, his height is much greater in comparison.
