It's stated right in either The Red/Blue Grand data file books that Shanks and Mihawk were rivals and sparring buddies when Shanks had both arms. This is very interesting piece of information. No Wonder why in episode 45 they talked to each other like they were familiar with one another.That is saying alot about These two characters especially about Shanks if he can Rival a very POWERFUL Hawkeye. These two characters in my opinion are the STRONGEST!!! Sorry Whitebeard 
Shanks and Mihawk Rivals/Sparring Buddies?!!!
-
-
wow, that's cool. it explains a lot too
. -
I was wondering that myself when they were talking to each other.
-
That makes sense. I remember in the episode after Luffy gets the first bounty, Shanks asked Mihawk if he was there to fight.
-
well you gotta wonder how much his strength if affected by him lacking an arm.
I recommend: Peerless Martial God, Renegade Immortal, Gourmet of Another World, Trash of the Counts Family and The Great Ruler
-
I think he is stronger now than he was back when he had two arms. It's been like 10years and Shanks must have found a new way to make out great attacks and so on. Maybe Shanks is ranked like the second best swordman in the world, like, as strong as Mihawk, but just a tiiiiiiny bit weaker?! Just a thought.
-
i don't know… i think shanks is equal to mihawk. i read mihawk's sentence in that summer island as if it would be too troublesome to fight him, not that shanks became inferior upon losing a arm
baka^ni
-
Hm, a possible Shanks vs Zoro fight sounds nice. To me at least.
-
well you gotta wonder how much his strength if affected by him lacking an arm.
Skill has nothing to do with how many arms you have. he probley got used to it.
-
@Green:

yeah i've had a feeling about this since shanks asked mihawk if he wanted to spar. i figured he must be a pretty damn good swordsman to just casually ask that to the best. but if he fights anyone in the future, i think he's gonna fight luffy to test him out. hell, maybe he will fight zoro too and that fight could show us if he's ready to take on mihawk again or not.

Exactly what I was thinking.
-
Prior to seeing that ep, I read/possibly mis-read something somewhere that said Shanks was one of the Seven Warlords (I can't remember the proper name). I assumed that's how Shanks and Mihawk knew each other and were allies because of this. However since then I've read other articles that state Shanks isn't one of the seven (but whether he is or isn't, I don't want to know yet. I want to find out for myself).
I wouldn't mind seeing just how strong Shanks is now, and frankly wouldn't mind seeing himn fighting Luffy's crew (though with Luffy off wondering elsewhere as I somehow doubt he'd put a scratch on Shanks if he could help it or let any of his crew harm Shanks and/or his crew).
-
Shanks is not one of the Shichi Bukai. Read book 25 again and you will notice this. Why would the WG fear Shanks if he was a SB?
-
1. I didn't read it in a graphic novel. I read it on a site.
2. I haven't even got that far yet.
3. I specifically asked NOT to know the truth as I wanted to find out for myself.If I had read it in the graphic novel either for or against, I would have said so.
-
@Green:

I dont think so that would be like fighting mihawk.
-
Caracal, oh, very very sorry, didn't even read so far in your post. Damn, must starting doing so even when I feel like not need to. Damn, I'm so sorry!
Otogon, how do you know that? Mihawk is maybe far stronger then Shanks. Doubt it, but it could be.
Old school lurker.
-
Otogon, how do you know that? Mihawk is maybe far stronger then Shanks. Doubt it, but it could be.
I have my doubts here. Maybe he is the better swordsman but not necessarily the stronger pirate. Just think about it. 7 Shichibukai, 3 Admirals, one Chief Admiral, 9 Cipher Pols, the entire Marine and lots of goverment agents. The Gorousei have all that at their command and they still consider a coorperation between Whitebeard and Shanks as serious problem.
Other then that, Mihawk tells Luffy that becoming the Pirate King is a lot more difficult then just surpassing him. And since One Piece works like this that the strong guys are revealed pretty early we already know who the Great Pirates are. Whitebeard and Shanks.
-
And Luffy he's also a Great Pirate
Shanks and Mihawk might be like Luffy and Zoro they fought neither one won
So they continued fighting until Shanks lost an arm and Mihawk lost interrest in fighting Shanks
-
Well Hawkeye has the title THE STRONGEST SWORDSMAN IN THE WORLD!!!! nough said.
Thou he slay me, yet shall I trust him!!!!
-
And Luffy he's also a Great Pirate
Nope, Luffy isn´t a great pirate yet. But he´s on the way to become one. The Gorousei just became aware of his potential but they still don´t treat him as such a serious threat that would deserve a great pirate.
However after the Enies Lobby arc he should definitely be considered as a great pirate.
Well Hawkeye has the title THE STRONGEST SWORDSMAN IN THE WORLD!!!! nough said.
And what is that statements supposed to prove besides the fact that he is the strongest swordsman in the world? Nothing!
Is he the strongest pirate in the world? Nope, that´s Whitebeard.
Is he the strongest marine in the world? Nope, that´s Aokiji.
Is it tougher to become Pirate King then to beat the number one swordsman in the world? Yes it is. Mihawk himself said that. -
Yeah, Ivotas, I doubt so too. But still, Shanks crew could be filled with the likes of Luffy and stronger ones. That could explain why Shanks crew would consider to be a threat still when they have the likes of Mihawk on the WG's side.
Old school lurker.
-
I have the same impression. It is definitely the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates that the WG fears to work together. If it would be just the two captains themselves then they must almost have godly powers to be considered a threat.
But anyways even if Ace, Ben Beckman, Lucky Lou, Yassop and Rockstar are that powerful, Shanks and Whitebeard must be even stronger. They are not their captains for nothing. I doubt that such super strong crewmen would follow random weaklings.
-
Caracal, oh, very very sorry, didn't even read so far in your post. Damn, must starting doing so even when I feel like not need to. Damn, I'm so sorry!
Don't worry. It's cool. What's done is done. Like I said, since I read the original webpage I then looked at Shanks on Wikipedia and it said nothing about him being one of the seven but apparently he's a potential candidate to replace Crocodile…
I need to stop reading spoilers >_<
Personally I'd like to see a bit more light shined on Shanks (going by what I've seen and read so far) and maybe Mihawk. Perhaps Oda could do a side story that shows how Shanks and Mihawk met, their first fight (if they've had any), any other fights and if they've got some kind of friendship. Infact, perhaps when Luffy meets up with Shanks, Mihawk is also there andthe two would talk about their past or something.
-
Mihawk is probaly appearing after Enies Lobby arc to show the new Luffy wanted poster to Shanks
The way I said Luffy is a Great Pirate , it's like he's already a Great Pirate (was the gift) but the W.G. still doesn't recognize him was one
But after Enies Lobby Strawhat Pirates are going to be considered one of the greatest pirates crews
Not even WhiteBeard would think about trashing Enies Lobby
Shanks is gonna be real proud of Luffy
-
Not even WhiteBeard would think about trashing Enies Lobby
Shanks is gonna be real proud of Luffy
Well the way it appears for now, it looks like nobody, not even Gold Roger himself ever assaulted Enies Lobby. Luffy definitely has to be considered as a great pirate by the Gorousei after this arc is over.
However as much as I have doubts about it myself after all what´s happened in the last couple of chapters, I still would chose to stick with the theory that Luffy will get his next bounty after he defeats Doflamingo. Please don´t make my explain why because it would just be whack speculation. Just accept it as a whack theory that I would go with till the end.
-
The most crucial bit of info always seems to be neglected and I keep bringing it up. Shanks and Mihawk were rivals/sparring buddies before Shanks lost his arm. Sparring buddies tend to have equal power or power so close to eachother, it's too hard to tell who's stronger.You seem to think Shanks is the strongest in the series, but…....Who constantly goes out seeking challenges to hone his skill? !Listen People if Hawkeye and Shanks were Rivals, that is saying alot about Hawkeye's Powers as well. Hawkeye is on the same level as a Whitebeard and Shanks, Or maybe Hawkeye is even Stronger than Shanks Fighting Ability wise. These two may have a Stronger Crew, but individually Hawkeye has proved to be a worthy threat. He is the only guy I seen in the Anime to insult Shanks so casually. in episode 45 when, Shanks asked Hawkeye did "he came for a match". Hawkeye responds, "I have no intrest in fighting a one armed man like you". They showed Shanks face looked kind of mad thier. You can not take hawkeye out of the loop because this guy can sail on a little boat and go anywhere and not be touched. They have not even shown his former Bounty It could even be higher than Shanks.
when the grand admirals were talking about Whitebeard and Shanks meeting, they said nothing about fearing them only to keep them under watch. Shanks becoming a Shichubukai is very well possible, in epiosde 151 I believe Oda is giving out some clues. when Lafitte was speaking in the Meeting He said "he came to nominate a man for the replacement for Crocodile," the screen quickly turned to Whitebeard's Ship and the words that came out of his mouth were "Shanks". then after they showed Rockstar than Shanks said their going to see Whitebeard. Now it went Back to the meeting first words came out Lafite's mouth was Teach. As Marshal D. Teach also known as blackbeard also wanting the spot. they showed the clips on Blackbeard after that. So my guess that's one of the reason's why Shanks Asked about Blackbeard in the letter. I believe he is going to "RIVAL" Blackbeard and Succeed him in becoming One of the Seven Gods Of The Sea!!!!
Thou he slay me, yet shall I trust him!!!!
-
You seem to think Shanks is the strongest in the series,
First of all, read precicely what I´ve said above. If you would have done that, then you wouldn´t have made this statement. I´ve said Whitebeard is the strongest pirate in the world. He is labeled as that by Oda and no matter what you say, you wont change my opinion on that.
Secondly since Shanks is a pirate he can´t be stronger then Whitebeard which means Shanks is not the strongest pirate in the series. Period!
!Listen People if Hawkeye and Shanks were Rivals, that is saying alot about Hawkeye's Powers as well. Hawkeye is on the same level as a Whitebeard and Shanks, Or maybe Hawkeye is even Stronger than Shanks Fighting Ability wise.
Hello, where do you get all this whack information from? The only thing we know for sure is that Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in the world. That´s it. I repait is is already clear that he is not the worlds strongest man. That would be Whitebeard. I pretty mucht doubt that there´s plenty of guys running around in the OP world who could match Gold Roger.
Other then that, if we should have learned something of One Piece then that this is a world with a variety of fighting styles. Swordman style is not the only fighting style in this world. It hasn´t been even established as the most powerful fighting style in this world. So far we have seen guys fighting with their feet, with ropes, with pistols, with slingshots, with cyborg bodies and most importantly with Devil Fruit abilities. Do you say that sword style is superior to all? What if there´s a best sniper in the world, a best rope dude in the world, a best "kicker" in the world? Are they all inferior to Mihawk just because they don´t use swords? I say no!
And furthermore, if Shanks is good with a sword, it doesn´t necessarily mean that this is his primary fighting style. For all we know so far it hasn´t even established which one would be his fighting style so please quit claiming that Mihawk is stronger then Shanks just because he is the strongest swordsman in the world. Are you telling me that in a street fight the worlds best sniper could defeat Mike Tyson just because Tyson´s sniping skills are inferior? Your level of argumentation suggest exactly that. Don´t throw in random assumptions that have no solid base. I don´t deny that Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in the world, because he definitely is. But that alone doesn´t mean that he is stronger then Shanks. He obviosly is better with the sword then Shanks, but that doesn´t mean that Shanks couldn´t beat him in a fight.
He is the only guy I seen in the Anime to insult Shanks so casually. in episode 45 when, Shanks asked Hawkeye did "he came for a match". Hawkeye responds, "I have no intrest in fighting a one armed man like you". They showed Shanks face looked kind of mad thier.
First of all, Shanks was insulted far worse by Higuma in Luffy´s flashback, then he was by Mihawk. Furthermore this flashback established how much Shanks gives a damn about people insulting him.
And secondly, he didn´t look pissed at Mihawk but he wasn´t feeling very well because of a hangover. Don´t turn around facts.
You can not take hawkeye out of the loop because this guy can sail on a little boat and go anywhere and not be touched. They have not even shown his former Bounty It could even be higher than Shanks.
They haven´t shown Shanks´ bounty either, so there´s no point in arguing over that thing. Furthermore Luffy was also setting sail in a little boat when he lost his village. He even stepped in a barrel to while he entered a whirlpool, so what about the fact that Mihawk travels with just one little boat?
when the grand admirals were talking about Whitebeard and Shanks meeting, they said nothing about fearing them only to keep them under watch. Shanks becoming a Shichubukai is very well possible, in epiosde 151 I believe Oda is giving out some clues.
Nope, you´re mistaken. They said that they wouldn´t take any rash actions and that they will observe his moves to, but it was definitely established "Contact between Whitebeard and Red Hair is extremely dangerous". Furthermore they said that Shanks "is not the man who would try to upset the world himself" that´s the reason why they wont take any rash actions. However even this statement proves that the Gorousei must think that Shanks is able to upset the world if he likes to. He just isn´t the character who wants to do it. So yes the Gorousei fear a cooperation between Whitebeard and Shanks.
when Lafitte was speaking in the Meeting He said "he came to nominate a man for the replacement for Crocodile," the screen quickly turned to Whitebeard's Ship and the words that came out of his mouth were "Shanks". then after they showed Rockstar than Shanks said their going to see Whitebeard. Now it went Back to the meeting first words came out Lafite's mouth was Teach. As Marshal D. Teach also known as blackbeard also wanting the spot. they showed the clips on Blackbeard after that. So my guess that's one of the reason's why Shanks Asked about Blackbeard in the letter. I believe he is going to "RIVAL" Blackbeard and Succeed him in becoming One of the Seven Gods Of The Sea!!!!
Wow, you´ve made all that up just because of the way which scene followed the other one in the anime? Are you even familiar with the fact that the scenes don´t appear in the same order in the anime as they do in the manga which would be the original cannon? For instance the entire scene with Buggy and Ace all happened exactly before the Gorousei where revealed in the manga (last pages of chapter 233). But in the anime the Buggy scene happened in episode 145 which is some episodes away from the scenes in 151. Didn´t you ever think that all that stuff had all to be packed in one episode just because the protagonists of the series where about to get to the next island?
And furthermore, again what you are saying is just a guess. We don´t even know what Shanks wanted from Whitebeard. We only heard Newgate´s guess. Maybe he was wrong, maybe not the point is we can make up everything from the words "It was about Ace and Blackbeard". For instance I can say that Shanks is the only person in this world that knows that Blackbeard is Ace´s father and that he wants to convince Whitebeard that Ace shouldn´t hunt down Teach any longer because it would only mean that Ace aims for killing his own dad.
I´m not saying that this is what I think. This is just an example of what can be made up from the little information that we have, so please don´t act like you already know what it´s about because you don´t.
Anyways, I´m not trying to be offensive at you. I just think you should rethink your level of argumentation a bit, because everything you said is just highly speculative and should therefore be labeled as your personal theory instead of walking aroudn and saying that that´s how it is.
-
First of all I did not say Hawkeye was the strongest guy in the world, I said he is Shanks rival in Sparring,If Shanks is feared the way he is, being a rival to Hawkeye that also makes Hawkeye look good!! It's stated right in either The One Piece Red/Blue Grand data file books that Shanks and Mihawk were rivals and sparring buddies when Shanks had both arms. SO SOMETHING ODA HIMSELF SAID IS SPECULATION?!!! come on man get real,Did you get that Ivotas. . I already know Whitebeard is the strongest, and I am just making assumptions, I never said Any of these were true statements. I said that these were all my guesses of what might happen or won't happen. I simply believe that Oda gives the fans some clues, once again this is what I believe. First of all the points you make Suck!! you have only one that is legit and that is about the Grand Admirals meeting. Come on I know you can come up with something better than that!!!!
Thou he slay me, yet shall I trust him!!!!

First of all, I don´t know any japanese, therefore I don´t trust any other One Piece Red/Blue version other the original one. If Stephen at some point would have translated it, then I´d go with it but unless that didn´t happen I don´t care for translated file books.
And secondly, do you even understand a word of what I´ve just wrote up or are you arguing for the sake of it? I said that just because Shanks and Mihawk may be sparring partners, it doesn´t mean that sword fighting is Shanks primary fighting style. Do you get what I say here?
Mihawk is the strongest swordman that much is clear. Therefore it means that in terms of swordfighting Shanks no matter how good he is can only be the second strongest. But even though Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in the world it doesn´t mean that Shanks can´t defeat him. It only means that Shanks can´t defeat him with a sword. However it hasn´t been established what Shank´s primary fighting style is so don´t try to convince me that it is clear that Mihawk could defeat him, because it´s not clear. It is only clear that Mihawk is better then him with the sword. Everything else remains a mystery so far.
First of all the points you make Suck!!
Ok, until now I was treating you with the respect every intelligent human being deserves. But if that´s your level of argumentation I see that I´ve missjudged you. Go ahead and believe whatever you want. It appears that you´re not on the level to have a solid discussion.
And if it is required to end the conversation between you and me then I´ll even say this:I was completely wrong and you were 100% right with everything you said. Thanks for enlighting me. Live Long and Prosper!
-
Thankyou God Bless!!
-
I seem to remember something about Mihawk's boat being a coffin. Was that from the translation, or just what it was called because he was deadly?
By the way Ivotas, love the sig.
-
Shanks as a swordsman: if he only used a one-sword style, or a one-and-a-mouth-sword (handicapped accessible santoryu! :)), he'd not be at all disadvantadged by losing an arm. Indeed, it's one less limb to keep out of the way of a foe.
Mihawk's comment on becoming Pirate King: Perhaps it's harder, from his perspective, because he knows swordfighting in and out, and can see how one could make it up. After all, he presumably defeated some past "best swordsman" to achieve that position. He never made it to Pirate King, and therefore can't really say. The devil you know, though, may seem easier.
As for Shanks as a future Shickabuchai: I don't buy it. I percieve him as too well-intentioned, too "good pirate" to sell out. If you're good enough to be qualified, I'd expect you've got quite a bit of money socked away from your reign of terror, so if the heat was intense enough, you could always go into hiding for a few years (or even fake your death, Captain Kuro style) until you fell off the radar. The only approach I could see is him signing on as an act of sabotague. The Six Warlords of Pirates and One Guy Who Keeps Messing Up doesn't quite do it the same.
-
from as far as i know i dont even recall shanks and mihawk meeting in the manga…. was this something that ONLY happened in the anime? i'm sorry but i do not watch the anime, i only read the manga

Yep, it happened in the manga. Chapter 96 to be precise.
@ Soupster; thanks I´ve planned on making this my sig for quite some time. BTW, you should check out this thread. Maybe there might be some interesting footage in for you too.

I think it screws with your balance to be out an arm.

The World Government will Not declare Luffy a Great Pirate after the EL incident; they will declare war on the Strawhats, no questions answered.
As for Shanks and Mihawk-I believe it was said somewhere in the manga that 'The oceans are vast, the Grand Line is just one narrow sea route', this may not be entirely accurate, but the Grand Line is still small enough for Mihawk and Shanks to have met there in the past. Hell, maybe Mihawk, Buggy, and Shanks were all apprenticed to the same pirate captain. Who were Buggy and Shanks apprenticed to, anyway?
-
WhiteBeard isn't the strongest pirate in the world Gol D. Roger is
WhiteBeard is the strongest pirate alive
Mihawk is the best swordman but maybe Shanks is strategicly smarter
And maybe Buggy is going to be the one replacing Crocodile
And one more thing did Enies Lobby exist like it is today in Gol D. Roger's time ?I don't know but I have a guess that Enies Lobby was create when the Dai Kaizoku Jidai started, to judge the pirates and those who helped them (remember this is just a guess)
-
I always thought Shanks is lousy. He let the leader of the bandits took Luffy as a hostage, he had to sacrifice 1 arm to save Luffy. I don't see how he can be considered powerful. He is not a DF user, he once was the rival of Buggy, a quite lousy pirate.
However, Mihawk seemed to have a fight with him long time ago, he dare to challege the strongest swordman.. in addition, his name is well known by the WG, WG worried about his cooperation with White Beard…Furthermore, Rookstar, whose bounty is nearly 100 million, joined his crew.
That's incredible, what "real power" does he have, to let him marked Mihawk as his equal(wanna get a fight?) and WG to be afraid of him?
-
WhiteBeard isn't the strongest pirate in the world Gol D. Roger is
Dead people are not included in a termporary ranking system unless we widen the frame by saying "…strongest pirate EVER!!!"
And maybe Buggy is going to be the one replacing Crocodile
Nah, I still rather go with the theory that after more Shichibukai are defeated, the Gorousei will take the entire Blackbeard Pirates as a replacement. You know drastic need for strong replacements to keep the balance intact.
And one more thing did Enies Lobby exist like it is today in Gol D. Roger's time ?I don't know but I have a guess that Enies Lobby was create when the Dai Kaizoku Jidai started, to judge the pirates and those who helped them (remember this is just a guess)
Now that is a very good question. Nothing was said about when Enies Lobby was built. You might be right here.

Shanks will become The next member of the Shichubukai, He is going to rival Blackbeard and try to succeed him in becoming one of the Seven gods of the Sea!! that's my theory. Blackbeard and his crew must build up a fearsome reputation to enter. I also doubt that his entire crew is even that strong besides right now it's one position that needs to be filled.
Thou he slay me, yet shall I trust him!!!!

Which part of "Let´s end the conversations between you and me. Live long and Prosper!" didn´t you get?
I think I was formal and polite enough by saying this, wasn´t I? So please, let´s leave it like that! I don´t have any further interest in talking to a person who´s statements are build up on the words: "…blah blah blah will happen…" instead of "...I think that blah blah blah could happen…".Thanks for your time. Live even a lot longer and much more prosper.

O.K. God Bless hope you live long and prosper as awell

Ivotas, good manner.
I didn't know BlackBeard is Luffy's father. I thought i read it carefully enough…well, i just read till chapter 374. I missed it? Or it's just a theory? Or i haven't read it yet?
BTW, i think the next Shichibukai would be BlackBeard, i guess he would defeat some "high bounty" pirates and get the "ticket".

Thanks. :embar:
As far as the Blackbeard being Luffy´s father thing is concerned, I hope you didn´t get this impression because of my statement what Shanks letter was about because it was a fully intended whack argument.
Anyways it has been speculated so far by the fandom that Blackbeard may be Luffy´s father and while we haven´t seen any evidence to proof this theory neither right now wrong, I personally don´t think that Teach is Luffy´s father.
BTW, i think the next Shichibukai would be BlackBeard, i guess he would defeat some "high bounty" pirates and get the "ticket".
Hey, that´s what I think too! I´m sure that on his quest to become Shichibukai Blackbeard will take down another 100 million guy. The whole Blackbeard Pirates just scream "Pirate´s Summit" at me, so I think a confrontation between them and the Strawhat´s might come to soon at this point.
-
I do not think that Blackbeard will become a Shichibukai for two reasons.
1. To me it seems that he was trying to take down Luffy, the man who beat the former Shichibukai in order to prove himself. I very much doubt that he will defeat Luffy.
2. I doubt that the WG would want to accept someone who is a runaway from Whitebeard's crew. Not only might it annoy Whitebeard, but he would proabably not live very long (Ace is trying to kill him right?).
-
1. To me it seems that he was trying to take down Luffy, the man who beat the former Shichibukai in order to prove himself. I very much doubt that he will defeat Luffy.
Blackbeard didn´t even know that Luffy took down a Shichibukai. If he would have know that, he wouldn´t ask Luffy who he is.
2. I doubt that the WG would want to accept someone who is a runaway from Whitebeard's crew. Not only might it annoy Whitebeard, but he would proabably not live very long (Ace is trying to kill him right?).
Now that for one is a plausible reason. However the day the World Governments stops starting actions against Pirates is the day they lose the fight against them. And isn´t their attempt to obtain the plans for Pluton proof enough that they are not willing to lose the fight against the pirates?
-
I will conceed the first point to you, but if the world government fears Shanks and Whitebeard meeting, wouldn't you think that they wouldn't want to upset Whitebeard. They can continue the fight against pirates, but they can only mess with the smaller ones.
As for Pluton, the WG has sent out CP9, a secret branch of the government to retrieve the plans. Using CP9 shows to me that the government does not want to move openly for the weapons for fear of causing an uprising by the strong pirates of the world.
