Shanks (シャンクス) is one of the Yonkou and captain of the Red Hair Pirates. Years ago before the story, Shanks used to work for Gol D. Roger's crew with Buggy who became one of his adversaries after. When he came of age, he saved a young boy named Monkey D. Luffy from drowning and lost an arm in the process. He entrusted his straw hat to the young boy and promised to meet him when he becomes a great pirate, and the promise would change if they meet early.

At the Battle of Marineford, Shanks managed to save Coby from a fatal blow by Akainu and stopped the war. He then paid his respects to the graves of Portgas D. Ace and Whitebeard after.

He can be unlocked in the third game's Dream Log mode.

Personality

Shanks is a "going-with-the-flow" pirate who travels from place to place without rushing. He sometimes likes to hold drinking parties.
