Shanks

シャンクス

Red-Haired Shanks is a legendary and powerful pirate in the Grand Line, serving as the captain of the Red Haired Pirate Crew and one of the Four Emperors in the latter half of the Grand Line. Furthermore, he is Monkey D. Luffy's childhood hero and a former member of Gol D. Roger's Crew. Overall, he is greatly respected by most characters, despite his "soft" and friendly nature and the fact that he never appeared in actual combat until he fought Whitebeard. As a whole, he does not make many appearances in the series, although he features in a majority of the anime's opening or closing themes.
Shanks always wears a long black cape over his shoulders and, until he met Luffy, wore a straw hat that he had worn for many years beforehand. He always wears trousers cut below the knee as well as a pair of sandals. The most striking thing about Shanks is the color of his red hair, from which his nickname "Red Haired Shanks" derives. He also has three scars across his left eye, which were given to him by Blackbeard a long time ago. He has a missing left arm, which he lost when he saved Luffy from a Sea King. Shanks and his crew are almost always seen partying and drinking alcoholic beverages whenever they make an appearance, as the Captain's favorite pastimes are attending and hosting parties and banquets.
Spoiler
According to Oda, Shanks is the one character that resembles himself the most out of all the One Piece characters, because of his fun-loving partying nature.
