what is with shanks's three scars on his eye? i think buggy did it to him because they are three and buggy uses three daggers in each hand.

Meh, I doubt it. I couldn't imagine Buggy giving anyone a scar…
Whos knows?
-
prolly buggy that;d make sense
-
I don't think any human being did this to Shanks.
It looks like a scar from a claw or something..
-
I suppose that a more powerful opponent caused the scar. Shanks is able to scare monsters away by staring at them and I'd like to think that by this injury Shanks gained this power (absorbing it from the monster/person he fought with).
-
I always thought it was Buggy. Sure he's kind of comical, and wimpy compared to the Grandline standard, but he was able to run a whole pirate crew, take over a town, etc. Shanks may be near-shichibukai level now, but they might not have been that disparate as kids, and Buggy could have surprised him with his new powers just after he got them, when he was still raging mad at Shanks.
-
Random thought: Kuro. (Was that his name? The one from Usopp's arc?)

[snapback]3130[/snapback]nah….
I doubt that...He scared the seaking with the intensity of the glare.
And that absorb idea...is a little DBzish....
-
Whatever his "power" is, if it's a DF power, he didn't have it when he saved Luffy from the sea monster.
Maybe it's a reserved idea by Oda or something? He put the scars on him to make him look unique and cool, but maybe he thought up of a story that can go along with it later on in OP?
-
Hehe, Buggy got one in over Shanks? Hah I doubt that.
Dunno what that scar could be from, but I hope it's not just cosmetic & there's a good backstory behind it.
Heck, anything on Shanks atm, would be just great, Oda!!
-
"He reminds me of me when I was a kid." Shanks says that about Luffy. I wouldn't be surprised if Shanks gave himself that scar, just like Luffy gave himself one, lol
-
My friends and I tend to joke about how Shanks scars are actually drawn on with red Sharpie
Then he lost his arm, and he wanders the ship asking his crewmates to draw his scars on so he can look badass. -
I think he got in a fight with a something that we may never see.
-
Probably Buggy.
Buggy Isn't a weakling!His fight with Luffy wasn't serious after all. -

[snapback]3299[/snapback]It's general "fantasy" – we could even call it "a little Harry Potter-ish … :P_

Jango learned hypnosis from Shakz.
That's what I say. -

Oda explained somewhere (OnePiece Red or Blue or in the fan-question sections of the other volumes) that he used this "special staring power" – otherwise I would not have understood it.
[snapback]3592[/snapback]Heh, that was one hell of a sinister glare Shanks gave that Sea King, I'm not surprised that thing left in such a hurry. Though, I wonder if it's part of a Devil's fruit ability or perhaps some kind of mind control?
-
Buggy is weak. Maybe when they were kids, but if Shanks really did fight evenly with Mihawk, Buggy wouldn't stand a chance against him.
And that absorb idea…is a little DBzish....
I figured it was more like "took it in," you know, the way Zoro "took in" Mihawk's might.

-
There are a lot of unexplained scars. Shanks' scar, Crocodile's scar, etc. I guess they kind of just add character.
Some scars do have significance - Luffy's scar, Zoro's scar, Kohza's scar, Genzo's scars…
Others just look cool. After all, chicks dig scars.

[snapback]3757[/snapback]Um, wasn't Shanks just standing in the water, like it was only knee or thigh deep. I'm pretty sure Devil's fruit user don't go completely limp if they're just standing in sea water?

"Crocodile's scar"
[snapback]3764[/snapback]::sniff::
I was dying for an explanation with that, when I was reading Arabasta I was sure any chapter now, Oda was going to drop a Croc flashback on us, with his pre-Shichibukai days.
Didn't happen.
-
lol
i thought earlier that shanks buggy and minhawk where all on one crew when they were kids. i thought shanks may have the gum gum power from like a piece that luffy didnt eat (if he did have one) that would be cool to see a gum gum battle between luffy and shanks -
Buggy Skill are totally are in different world with Shanks and Mihawk ..Buggy is seriously weak ,his bounty were like 15.000.000..?or i forgot..? and i think Shanks bounty are over 400.000.000 ..and either mihawk ..i think Shanks powers are like Mihawk,using the sword and destroy things ..like Cut a ship into half or something ..Mihawk and shanks probably train their strength like those CP9 ..and getting so strong strength and speeds … and Shanks scar ..i think he had fight with some monster or something,that with claws.. but Shanks Scar are pretty cool ..
-
lol I Think Shanks is More Greater Than The Shichibukai cause he can scare monsters If He Do that He Can Scare Bear Which is one of the shichibukai XD Is The Bounty of Shanks Has Been Shown I Cant remember seeing it
-
by the way ..shanks bounty is not yet out ..those pic of bounty,is the people who know how to make and design the bounty themself .. like i've seen shanks bounty are 700.000.000 , but i think it's not real,(but i hope it's real
) and look those bounty pic here!! 
-
shanks's bounty is more than dragon
shanks is said to be the pirate king like in french it says shanks le roux in english roux meaning the king
and shanks is stronger than the suchibukai
he is stronger than minhawk who is probably the strongest of the seven -
"Mihaw"?
Mihawk is a Shichibukai, remember?I think the scar is just there, but it will be cool if he did it to himself like Luffy. Only time will tell.
-
Shichibukai or not, they still retain their bounties for some reason. I think it's the World Governments way of ranking their power, though don't quote me on that.
-
It's more like former bounties. They don't keep the bounty, but they're recognized for them.
-
Yeah, that's what I meant. The bounties were the final amount of what they were worth, before joining the World Government & leaving their crews.
I think the Government keeps the bounty posters in circulation to serve more as a deterrent to would-be pirates. I mean, if you were a pirate, would you want terrorize a part of the Grand Line knowing a Shichibukai pirate with a former bounty of 340 million berries, was in the area?
-
do think that the people who recruited the suichibkai got the bounty? and why is there seven?
-
Well, they are the Shichi (Seven in Japanese) bukai.
Beyond that, I have no idea why it's seven only. Plus, I think the pirates themselves submit their interests to become Shichibukai to the government, well that's what Blackbeard is doing, or well… Lafitte did for him. I don't they are recruited by anyone.
-
I was dying for an explanation with that, when I was reading Arabasta I was sure any chapter now, Oda was going to drop a Croc flashback on us, with his pre-Shichibukai days.
didnt he say that he had the same ambitions as luffy until he became a bukai
-
Um, I think he said something like "When you come to know the level of this sea, you begin to lose sight of your ambitions" or something, like he was referring to himself.
I was hoping we'd get some sort of short Crocodile flashback, maybe explain the origins of that scar that is across his face & help flesh out his character & motives more.
-
Maybe there's seven so they'll be more famous, I mean it's different than the twenty four strongest pirates. There are fewer, so they have to be stronger.

-
ohh whoops roux meaning red not king. and maybe there are seven because there are seven parts of the world or islands in grandline.
-
im willing to bet that shanks gave himself the scar like an idiot (just like luffy did)
or perhaps there is no explanation for it, just like crocodiles scar its just for looks

I had never considered that Shanks may have given himself the scars,,, that would be an amusing flashback, little-kid Shanks pissed and determined to prove himself to the crew he eventually joins.
As for Buggy, I definitely think he could have given the scars,,, I mean sure heâ€
s goofy and kinda weak, but heâ€s also underhanded and not above cheap-shots. After all, he faked dead right before he got Zoro in the back. -
Buggy giving the scar for Shanks would be fitting. I bet Buggy's not a pushover.
Edit: By the way Gatita I love your animated Franky signature. Did you made it by yourself ?
-
No, I didnâ€
t make it,,, snatched it from a jp materials site. But thanks ^_^Anyhow, I really hope we get to find out about the scars sooner or later and that itâ€
s not just a character design thing as was suggested. Itâ€s the identifiable part of his pirateâ€s crest, so surly it must have some significance. -
the scar could be very old…. maybe from when he and buggy split ways.
i like to think that's it's just there because oda tought his face would look plain
-
Shanks didnt have the scar in the flashback with Buggy, but he has the scar when he meets Luffy. If you havnt seen, Shanks pirate flagg, is a skull with three scars over his eye, so when he created his pirate crew, he probally had the scars. The cutmarks that Luffy's hatt got after the fight Buggy. looks like Shanks scar…
-
yes,it make sense ,it does look alike Shanks ,maybe buggy argue with Shanks and use his 3 knifes and fight with Shanks and Shanks get the scar ..but ..im wondering that ..if that's a long time ago ,buggy ain't use 3 knifes isn't it ?he were using a long sword ?or i forgot ,cause i got bad memories ..
-
Um, wasn't Shanks just standing in the water, like it was only knee or thigh deep. I'm pretty sure Devil's fruit user don't go completely limp if they're just standing in sea water?
[snapback]3939[/snapback]It was that shallow?? I'd figure, if a sea monster is that close to you, that you're in a pretty deep sea level.
I'd go with Shanks getting the scars from himself, like what Luffy did. Shanks wanted to impress the pirate crew that he wanted to join?
That, or if Shanks has the ability to do something to animals, like communicate with them, that he received those scars in the midsts of his training with animals.
-
I think it would be fitting if Shanks recieved the scar from Buggy when they decided to part ways. It would also be a fitting way for Buggy to discover exactly what his powers were. Shanks believes he cut off Buggy's head, and barely avoids getting his own head cleaved like a namu hamu melon. :blink: Of course he'd defeat and spare Buggy, and I suppose this would be just before they both left to start their own pirate crews. It makes sense that the enmity between the two (or at least on Buggy's side) that began when Shanks "ruined" Buggy's career would come to that eventually.
-
What if Shanks and the Shichibukai is the former crew of Roger
-
I'd sincerely doubt that.
-
i second that
donflamingo was captain of bellamy pirates and bellamy was first mate (prediction)
minhawk maybe
jineibi maybe
kuma is a hardcore christian no way
crocodile maybe
