Shanks is one of the most important characters in the entire One Piece series. Although he does not appear much, Shanks’ influence is certainly not small.
However, until now all information about Shanks is still a mystery, especially his strength and role in the entire story.
And recently, through chapter 966 of One Piece, we can see that Shanks’s way of using the sword seems to be very similar to former Pirate King Roger.
1. Roger is a good swordsman
One Piece 966 has officially confirmed that Roger is a talented swordsman.
And if everyone noticed, when Roger pulled out the sword, its blade turned black.
2. Shanks stayed on the Roger ship for a long time
According to the revelation, Shanks has been on the Oro Jackson ship with Buggy since he was a child (about 9 years old).
Just a rough calculation, Shanks has been with Roger for decades.
3. The way Shanks and Roger hold their swords is similar
Looking at the two frames above, we can see that the way Shanks and Roger hold and use swords has many similarities.
This makes it appear that Shanks and Roger used the same fighting techniques and swords as each other.
4. Shanks and Roger’s fighting style
It can be easily seen that the way Shanks and Roger fight with swords is quite similar.
Roger is a wild man who puts emotions above all else, he is ready to attack anyone if he feels like it.
However, Shanks is different.
