Shanks’ Observation Haki is on another level and this moment confirms it
Shanks’ Observation Haki is on another level, proving that the redhead is a fearsome adversary.
Las expectations of some fans regarding Shanks and his powers are very highsince the series has been in charge of making this character an exceptional pirate full of many secrets, and it is not for less, since after two decades of chapters, it is hardly that he has had an active participation in the manga, which means that little is actually known specifically about the redhead, but that has not been an impediment for Akagami’s reputation to have increased overwhelmingly.
One of the most recurring doubts among fans when talking about the redhead is about his powers, since there haven’t been many opportunities to get a detailed look at the extent of Shanks’ abilities, so they had always been a subject of much mystery in the series. However, recently and thanks to the feature film of One Piece Film: Red it was possible to get a little more information about their techniquessince Akagami gave a little display of his might in this movie, which left fans wanting to see him in action.
Since some details about Shanks’s powers were revealed, fan expectations grew exponentially, since it was only revealed that the redhead was a skilled user of all three types of Hakibeing known as “the Observation Haki killer”.
But it wasn’t until the end of the Wano arc that the extent of Akagami’s abilities was briefly appreciated, since he used his Conqueror Haki from a wide distance to repel Admiral Greenbull’s siege to this island, showing its potential.
In fact, it was not until the most recent chapter that it was finally possible to see how Shanks unleashed all his power, since while the redhead was on the island of Elbaf, along with his fleets, he was attacked by the Kid Pirates, because Eustass wanted to take revenge for a previous encounter that cost him an arm, which is why this pirate has decided to charge his lethal attack “Damned Punk” to finish off Akagami and allies.
However, Shanks intervenes and uses his Observation Haki to look ten whole seconds into the futureforeseeing the destruction of his fleets and allies, so he decides to repel this action by Eustass, using just one attack with which he has destroyed and humiliated Kid and his crew in just the blink of an eye.
After this feat it has been possible to confirm that Shanks’ greatest power lies in his great ability to see the future with his impressive Observation Haki, which is on a level well above all known, even Charlotte Katakuri who was shown as one of the best users of this type of Haki.
It should be noted that up to now Shanks has lived up to the impressive reputation he has built for himselfsince it has demonstrated part of the enormous potential that it possesses, since it is an excellent user of the three types of Haki.
In addition to this, as the plot has developed, it has been possible to show that Shanks is the true heir of Roger, since has a marked influence of the King of the Pirates in their actions and even in their abilities.
