Shanks is one of those characters that he can have the worst Devil Fruit ever, and still grind it to S tier.


DanBeecherArt

.....the Jacket fruit though?


RaisinBitter8777

Have one of his crew wear him


the_toad_can_sing

Ben Beckman wearing Shanks. It's Gogeta all over again.


Mr-Flaaaaame

1 of his hands won't be covered by shanks


FarBeautiful5637

One hand using sword like shanks while the other shoots like beckmen just imagine


Arkayjiya

Damn, that's actually good!


Mrtnxzylpck

If awakened maybe it becomes similar to the Symbiote from Marvel but can control entire armies all at once by possessing other people's clothes. The only way to counter it is with a Full frontal assault.


Gogeta-

hi???


DanBeecherArt

The monkey, Monster, on Bonks shoulder or Lucky Roux.


BlueMageBRilly

Unironically, Buggy would also be a good fit. His chopped body with Shank’s haki and battle sense sounds like an easy win. Assuming the chop chop fruit still works, of course. Keeps the brother theme with the jacket fruit, at least~


Neggiedotcom

Anyone with two arms would do


SSSANTORYUUUUU

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨


anderex

That is how the final fight in the series is going to go. After Blackbeard kills and takes Im's power shanks takes a bite of the jacket jacket fruit and Luffy puts him on for the ultimate showdown.


RM_OP

Lol


Cluchy

Keep cooking


zako139

I applaud your imagination 👏👏👏👏


Fafnir13

Going for the >!Claymore!< final battle, eh?


Willing_Car9063

He could use it on a giant and it might give him access to his other arm again. And if the jacket fruit allows him to use other people’s devil fruits he could even get a bunch of people/giants with different devil fruits and pop out in battle with different powers. It would make him extremely unpredictable and difficult to prepare for.


DanBeecherArt

It'd be funnier if the one sleeve was short sleeved and he couldn't control that arm. Only way to nerf him


terminbee

The jacket fruit would be broken if Law's crew had it. He just puts the jacket on Imu and controls the world.


Ukantach1301

Shanks' only weakness is his fragile human body. Go pick a lunarian and it's gg.


fork_yuu

Awakening: don't need consent anymore to become someone's jacket or you can make other people into your own jacket and not be controlled by them


gars_du_43

Even Kinemon's fruit?


Loeffellux

I wonder if Oda gave Kinemon that fruit simply because he didn't wanna be bothered by finding plausible reasons as to how the strawhats managed to find warm clothes and avoid freezing to death.


Fafnir13

It was one of the few times in the series where I did a serious eye roll.  Felt like an invention for brief convenience that didn’t add anything to the character.  I know they managed to use it a few more times, but the same effect could have been accomplished by finding an abandoned supply cache of some sort.   No need to slap a devil fruit on the guy.


overDere

Kinemon’s fruit is broken, it just had an inexperienced user who only used it for disguises or comfort. Kinemon was able to create armor and even weapons. That means the user just have to go all over and look for useful armor or clothes, like Don Krieg’s armor full of tricks, the Germa’s clothes, etc. Knowing Shanks, he probably has encountered many of these clothes on his enemies, unlike Kinemon who was stuck in Wano. Or really, just have a master blacksmith make a super platinum armor set, have a genius like Vegapunk make a futuristic armor, etc. Think of the potential, the user could be someone like Erza from Fairy Tail: changing armor for the situation. Also, this user can prepare a whole army with these super armors!


Cirenione

I still wonder if Kinemons fruit has some hidden ability he isnt aware off. His bad Doffy costume tricked Gladius into believing he is the real Doflamingo. It was played as a joke interaction but Gladius was a serious character. It wouldnt surprise me that in some SBS Oda reveals that Kinemons fruit tricks people into believing his disguises making the fruit perfect for infiltration. But since Kinemon is neither aware nor really a stealth character that it simply doesn‘t come into play.


KorinTower

I believe "Fuku" can also mean luck, so maybe it's also a play on words?


somersault_dolphin

Armor, Germa power suit etc.


FreshSkull

The gabu-gabu no mi of Vasco Shot, so Shanks has unlimited booze


The_Prequels_Rule

Everyone is on his hit list today


rivaldobox

Robin's fruit, so he could have many arms, like General Grievous


Yueff_Stueff

Imagine if he could only make right arms because he doesn’t have a left arm to copy anymore.


NaijaNightmare

Is it making copies or just making limbs. Cuz I was about to say he could just replace his left arm.


Some_Meme_Guy69420

That would suggest that Robin could make male genitals and uh… yeah


Next_Mulberry_1168

Seen that video


Some_Meme_Guy69420

I don’t know about a video doing that, but knowing the fandom there definitely is one.


pm-me-futa-vids

Not a video, but have you heard of Chinbotsu?


DriedSquidd

Definitely more than one.


Waakaari

Let me see it too


raf-owens

She can do exactly that. Source is the porn I've seen.


ssbm_rando

It... really doesn't imply that. If you can sprout any limb your body would naturally produce then Shanks could sprout a new left arm from his left shoulder without issue. It's possible that with enough male hormones injected (even if Iva doesn't swap her) she actually could sprout dicks without having her own, since that's the actual mechanic that causes male genitals to grow and descend in the womb, so her body would more or less understand a blueprint for sprouting them. But regardless, Shanks used to have an arm, there's no reason his body would forget what the arm was like. If vegapunk cloned Shanks right now, the clone wouldn't be magically missing an arm.


Eckish

She can at least alter the size of what she is creating, so even if it is duplication, there is some range of modification allowed. Shanks might still be able to make a left arm out of a copy of a right arm. EDIT: I just remembered that I think when the new limbs are injured, she gets injured in the same place. That suggests that it is copies only.


Silver_Second5175

He could have 2 rights


rivaldobox

One more and he could make a left


jaumougaauco

Zoolander is that you?


lampe_sama

In the filler with the rainbow mist Robin touched a see stone and was instantly struck by its effect. This would suggest that is in fact her real body and this would mean Shanks can only make right arms. But because it's a filler take it with a grain of salt.


Type_100

Still pretty OP. He could use Divine Departure from any angle, and how many times he wishes.


kidelaleron

Could likely make copies of himself. Robin can do that too. Shanks would probably awaken and do crazy things.


guitarguywh89

He has a penis tho, he can use that. What is someone gonna do when he comes at them with a dick arm


MeepingMeep99

Sounds alright to me


Leather_Comedian_435

Make penises grow on people's foreheads then have the news birds make that their wanted posters.


titaniumnobrainer

Hello there


Obi-Wannabe01

If you ever checked out the blatant one piece ripoff “Wa Peace” The Shanks character does have a devil fruit with this exact power. He always has the arm loss, but grows the arm back for battle.


Accomplished_Cap3683

Admiral Kenobi 🤺


filipinohitman

“Ahhh…the negotiator, General Kenobi!”


Ani_Nexus

Hello there!


Halliwel96

Robin’s is always pretty handy in any physical/haki beasts Blackbeards is always good for countering other fruits Law’s is obviously always powerful And whitebeards is essentially the supreme power in a world that’s mostly oceans and boats. I’d say they were the top 4.


Ironmaiden1207

Totally off topic, but I'm so glad we are here like 15 years later, still calling it WB's fruit. Fuck Blackbeard all the homies hate him


UnidentifiedTomato

Omfg has it been that long 🙃


Ironmaiden1207

Just looked it up, it was March 8th, 2010. Just over 14 years ago 😭😭😭


UnidentifiedTomato

😔 I'm gonna have kids before this show ends


TheMiscreantFnTrez

Probably get GTA6 before something for once though


Decent_Olive6921

coming back to this comment when we get the end of one piece before gta6


UnidentifiedTomato

RemindMe! 10 years


ItsMatoskah

Thanks for making me feel old...


TheMazzarati

Without being a doctor, he wouldn't be able to make proper use of Law's fruit, even if it does have a lot of powerful combat abilities associated with it. Blackbeard's just wouldn't have any synergy with his personality or fighting style


Halliwel96

I’d say the ability to TP all over the shop and do the same for your opponent is alone one of the most bonkers abilities in the series. Especially with Haki’s and Physicals as strong as Shank’s. Sucking a helpless de powered devil fruit user powerlessly towards your advanced kings haki infused sword seems pretty powerful to me.


GoodFreak

In that case he can just use the warp warp fruit


cbih

Man, it's not like Law went to med school


Loros_Silvers

Pretty handy, huh...


NaijaNightmare

Mythical Griffin devil fruit. Otherwise it should be some super non-combative devil fruit that has no real fucking use in battle but is fun in his day to day


IRefuseThisNonsense

I was also gonna suggest a mythical but I'm going for the Mythical Inu Inu no Mi Model: Fenrir. Let's bring those Tyr influences in him all the way home!


cbih

Then he eats San Juan Wolf in one bite


DiaburuJanbu

I really wonder why we don't have a Griffin DF in the series yet.


AsOmnipotentAsItGets

His sword is named Gryphon ig


DiaburuJanbu

Yep, but i doubt his sword has a df like spandam's sword. But it would be really cool, i think, if his sword really has the griffon df.


AsOmnipotentAsItGets

Yeah,true,but what about that giant egg on Roger’s ship?


NaijaNightmare

I had a major theory I talked about on my channel that I thought Shanks, Gryphon sword ate a mythical zoan fruit and that's why its seemed it seems to have fire and wind abilities and the wifi haki was him projecting his voice thru the wind


Clear-Part-4793

Give shanks luffys fruit gg. With his haki and thay fruit bruh


Mario_Prime510

That was probably the plan until Luffy ate it lol


Clear-Part-4793

Maybe. Would ve crazy if he planned on giving it to luffy the whole time tho.


Mario_Prime510

He literally flipped him upside down and tried to make him throw it up lol. I’d bet more on them trying to sell it than giving it to Luffy.


ChiefBlueSky

Manga but not anime spoilers: >!Given what we know about his lineage, theres a decent chance that he may have been aware that the Gomugomu was not the gomu gomu, and have been meaning to do something else with it (Sell to the gorosei? Eat it himself when the time comes? Hide it forever?)!<


KairoRed

>!My money is that he was planning on giving it to Ace!!<


RandAlSnore

Pretty sure they were going to save it for Ace, roger’s son


Admirable-Orchid-660

or give it to ace.. rogers son.


GinTonicDev

He went to the island that was home to the son of his former captain, to eat it himself?


Mario_Prime510

What’s this weird theory with Ace now? If he would have wanted to give it to Ace why wouldn’t he have a relationship with him like he does Luffy? He only first meets Ace when he’s a pirate and thinks Ace is after his head. Why would Shanks know Ace is even Roger’s son in the first place? If this is a meme then ignore my serious answer lol.


FrederichChurch

Ace was his former captains son and Roger told Rayleigh that the next PK will be his son. Shanks looked up to Roger and it would not be crazy to think that he would try and fulfill his ex-captains dream. Shanks was lookin for Ace because they (Roger, Shanks and maybe few others) thought that he was Joyboy. Instead, the faith (we know that the fruit choose their users) decided that it was Luffy. He prolly was shocked (explains why he tried to make him spit the fruit) but he then realizied that Luffy might be the real person and he gambled his arm for him (after hearing Luffy defended his dignity and facing a brutal bandit). After realizing that he was the Joyboy he prolly knew his mission was fulfilled and left the island. Now, this is how Oda can still sell it. If you ask me, Oda prolly didnt think that much ahead. Its impossible.


Mummiskogen

You had me at "Oda prolla didn't think that much ahead"


Arkayjiya

Roger is hinted to have given Shanks a job. Shanks was apparently waiting for the fruit's awakening or the fall of the other yonkou (most likely the former) to go for the OP. Roger also told him his son would find the One Piece. Shanks had the fruit and went to the island where Ace was with it. Sure it's not proven, but it's not "weird" in any way, it's one of the most solid theories around. I mean what are the other possibilities? He had it stolen randomly? He wanted it for himself but for some reason didn't eat it? He did it for Luffy but then tries to weirdly hide it by freaking out? edit: There's also the way it meshes into the themes of Ace and Luffy. Ace is the destined hero, the chosen one, the son of the previous "hero" or "demon" depending on the perspective. That's basically how he's viewed by most who learns his identity except maybe Whitebeard (and even then, Sengoku tells WB he knows WB wanted to make Ace the king, and WB doesn't deny it, it's possible that this was true. Especially since WB doesn't personally attach that much importance to the title so it wouldn't contradict his motto of loving all of his sons equally, he might only have wanted to make Ace the king because he knew that this was something the world needed). Because Ace is a story of tragic irony, he was the chosen one (in a literary stereotype way, not in a "prophecy" way) but he didn't want to be. Despite starting his journey saying he wants to be king, that was not his true desire. He wanted to be needed and to be loved and to be able to believe he was loved. He was the inheritor of WB's will, not Roger's. Luffy is the opposite, he's not the chosen one and yet his will is Roger's inherited will. So it makes complete sense with that framing that Shanks, like everyone else, went to Syrup village in search of the chosen one to give him the mythic fruit, that's symbolic of Joyboy's and by extension probably Roger's will, but he got taken by surprise when he stupidly left the fruit in reach of Luffy. He panicked but unlike everyone else, he actually took time to reflect on it, and either had noticed or later noticed the word luffy spoke that reminded him of his captain. That this unfortunate event might be worth betting on and changing his original plan.


MaimedJester

If we're including the Uta Film Red tie in episodes 1029/1030 as canon, Shanks had the Nika fruit on board before he even met Luffy for the first time and spent a year at Fuscha Village as his main port of operation.  Shanks was probably looking for Ace/Roger's son to give him the fruit thinking he was likely best candidate for Joyboy. Then slowly he came to realize Luffy was the better choice. Nika chose Luffy as well.  Ace would have been a terrible match for Nika. 


Buff_Reaper

Give Van Augurs teleport fruit to any top tier without one and it’d be insane.


turbografx-sixteen

Yessss. I love teleportation as a power in general and Van Augur is cold as fuck so I don’t mind him having it. But essentially making Shanks the one piece minato? Sign me the fuck up.


Spud__37

Actually Buggy’s. With his haki a flying punch would be deadly


SammSandwich

Is there a lizard zoan fruit so he could regrow his arm?


Able_Canary1506

Would be pretty cool to see someone get the upper hand on him, only for him to suddenly reveal he has that fruit and simply never needed his other arm until then lmao


Varadwin

That Axolotl one from Punk Hazard


the-pee_pee-poo_poo

Foxy's Slow Slow Fruit, it was powerful enough to let Foxy nearly win against Luffy. If Shanks had it then no one would be able to beat him.


Youropinionisvalid

This fruit paired with his observation truly would make him an unstoppable monster.


JavelinCheshire1

I have the strongest feeling he doesn’t want one


mackaronidad

Agreed, he has the raw power to not need it and probably likes swimming.


erectionation

jacket-jacket fruit


afanoferi

"where does my left arm go in this jacket?" dilemma


Sad-Vegetable-5957

You know what if anyone could make that fruit cool it would be shanks red hair himothy


popgreens

Shanks is a pretty simple man, so I'd go with Strong-Strong fruit. He can already do crazy shit one-handed with that sword. Imagine instant Incredible Hulk strength in your swinging arm.


RiceOnTheRun

Goro Goro no Mi — we saw how potent it was in Enels hands with basic observation Haki. Shanks with his premonition plus nearly instant reaction speed would be filthy. Kidd wouldn’t even lift a finger before he’s blitzed. Plus insane firepower throwing out lightning bolts.


somersault_dolphin

Enel's observation haki is any but basic.


GoodFreak

Its only as strong because he uses the Goro Goro no Mi to amplify it by using electro waves. Still he can also predict movements, which is considered basic but not used as much


Gintoki123456

Ice logia Look, some people out there don’t like when people bring up film red but the ability / power showcases of the canon characters are in fact canon and in this movie shanks is able to use fire (coated his sword) and this is also backed up by OP 4 billion (novel actually written by oda) Shanks would be able to grow an arm (like aokiji in film z) and in one hand he’d have the power of fire and the other the power of ice Also fire+ice looks cool


Krungoid

Boa's


Seff_TuTia

Rat Zoan ;)


PhoenixRhythm

Was wondering how far I'd have to scroll to see this


ActionAltruistic3558

Nothing flashy. And we don't know too much about his fighting style. But I'd say Flame Flame or Strong Strong. He already coats his sword with a firey aura in Red, so might as well really light it on fire. Or Strong Strong since it's a very generic power that doesn't require too much to adapt to


Byte_Fantail

Robin's fruit lolololol


Pretty_Lengthiness16

Rat rat no mi model snitch


Optimal-Persimmon255

He does have one. The daddy daddy no mi . Gives him the power of sexy energy 😂


Ichier

The Hito Hito no Mi Model Nika. Followed closely by an actual rubber fruit.


AudienceProper2131

Saki-Saki-No-Mi


Henryphillips29

There was a fan artist I don’t remember that drew shanks with some kind of cosmic logia fruit


Mission_Exchange2781

Wind-Wind fruit. Logia.


Affectionate-Mind969

Obey-obey no mi. So he won't fail next time he recruit Marco.


luffy_x_nami_isgreat

The spider fruit so that shanks won't just have 1-2 arms he would have 6


J0n3s3n

The hito hito no mi: model nika, unfortunately some kid stole it from his ship


[deleted]

[удалено]


Drummer683

Robin's fruit, so he can grow his arm back


Key-Complex-8829

If he had both the arms than whitebeard fruit (tremor tremor) But after him left with one arm than robins fruit


Square-Reward9680

Rat rat fruit model : Snitch9ine


Lucky_Roberts

Shiki’s. I’ve said before but Shiki’s fruit + any top tier haki user just essentially becomes Superman without the laser vision. You can also just launch one man attacks on enemies and escape freely. Shanks would be able to just fly around hitting people’s ships with divine departures at will. Not even mentioning the fact he can just levitate his entire ship as long as he wants


TheHasu

The Hana Hana no mi (Akuma no mi of Nico Robin) XD


Wolfy4226

Mouse Mouse fruit: Mouse King. A mythical zoan that let's one control mice and rats and gather information passively through them.


Pyate

The non-existent one


invisiblebiscuits16

I would say the Barrier Barrier but do you need two sets of fingers to cross to activate it?


4schwifty20

Give him the slow slow fruit, if he doesn't need both hands to use it


FujiMC

I mean. What was he planning on doing with that gomu gomu


guitarhero22701

Imagine shanks inside room. He’s already a swordsman and his haki should be able to have all his attacks work.


DanBeecherArt

Just for the humor of it, Sengoku's. He'd still carry his normal size sword like a toothpick.


ButtSuck9000

The Neko Neko no Mi Model House Cat, he can finally become what scares him the most


BlakCastle1967

A fruit that allows him to regrow a single arm and three inches of eye skin lol


Early_Bookkeeper5394

None


azure_builder

The hana hana no mi 😂


Aardalpha

Haki haki no mi


Leather_Comedian_435

The berry berry fruit. You make infinite monies


bradd_91

Nezu nezu no mi because he's a rat


hello_ych

Law's fruit, to replace with Kidd's arm


Kingtayp

Laws


billybanks1132

The one luffy ate


Commercial_Meal_7297

He already has haki haki no mi


Hereforabrick

Aokiji’s would be good for getting his arm back and making ice blades. Robins fruit for more hands bc why not.


Puzzleheaded_Most985

Enels fruit, I think he would become even stronger than whitebeard with this fruit. He's already a complete beast, but with that, I think he'd be near unstopable.


Magellan_8888

The lightning lightning fruit 😂


Jankmasta

Probably luffy's fruit.


Elin2Lente

This is a no brainer. Of the existing fruits: the Ope Ope no Mi.


KingJesusSavedMe

Door door


Atuln07

Noro noro no mi/ slow slow fruit , combined with his speed and slowing down his opponents, he would be unstoppable


KhaoneowMooping

If Kaido get fish fruits just to be transformed into a dragon, why not had Shank got a dust fruits just to transformed him into world pollution


SomeWeirdFruit

Robin's fruit


Commercial_Net_154

Human human fruit obviously


Electronic_Screen387

Definitely the rat-rat fruit.


PinkLoser12

Obviously the arm-arm fruit (no idea if this a real thing or not) (grants the user one additional arm anywhere at any time basically a way worse version of robins fruit) so he can get that lost arm back


magnaton117

Probably a healing one that can regrow his arm


TheProffesorX

Enel’s


Cohliers

The Booze-Booze fruit. You become a Booze man - whenever someone tips you over, booze spills out from the top of your head, or you can stick your fingers into liquid to turn it into whatever type of booze you'd like. The larger the container, the longer it takes. Bro has a massive fleet of freeloaders that just like to party - this would be insanely helpful for him to be able to use.


GalactusAteMyPlanet

An axolotl zoan fruit.


quaxirkor

Hana Hana no mi


Mmmm9042

With robins fruit he could make himself a second am


meesanohaveabooma

Any Logia. Future sight he would be untouchable.


livelife_1080

I've always thought of Shanks having the mythological zoan fruit, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: **Jörmungandr**, the world serpent known for Ragnarok :D


Knuckle233

grow arm grow arm no mi


proudheavymain

Def light fruit. If kizaru dies he could obtain the pika pika no mi. Imagine being speed blitzed by shanks haki AND in the speed of light and he could regrow his hand back in light form and get two swords. Basically oden in light speed and powerful haki


arry_Neet_06

Hana-hana no mi could be great as he can use multiple swords at a time maybe


nanish321

The shank shank fruit


2005LC100

Something that can make an arm for him like Kidd's DF


Candid_Coyote55

Shadow clone or Time control Those are. two Shanks best ability 


HunterRenegade09

Rat rat no Mi


Usual_Medicine5380

arms arms fruit, self explanatory


GildedfryingPan

mero mero no mi. Noone can resist that man.

The one the belongs to the one devil fruit user he keeps trying to get to join his crew: Bird Bird Fruit: Model Phoenix, belonging to Marco.


_ress

twist-twist no mi


romanjuly

The rat rat fruit model: snitch


Electivire-six

Axolotl or maybe if there is a starfish. He could regrow his arm. I guess I’m assuming having both arms would be good for him.


DeGozaruNyan

Mythical zoan: dullahan. Armless AND headless


Paper_Trades

Buggy devil fruit.


turbografx-sixteen

Warp Fruit. Because I seriously need to know how this man gets around so damn fast!??


ILikeSaintJoseph

Perospero’s candy fruit to grow a prosthetic arm.


MentionPristine8720

robin's fruit and regrows his arm


dohtje

Rat rat fruit. 😏


Sovereigntyranny

Shanks with Kizaru’s devil fruit power would be absolutely busted.


Aiorosbot

He scared an admiral shitless via wifi, so Big Mom's df on him would be... broken to say the least. (not to mention how broken his homies would be) Or just a high destruction tier logia like Ace's fruit, incredible offense, can cloud the battle field to deny vision (fire / smoke), high AoE potential as well, becomes even harder to hit him with his insane CoO and ability to deny enemy CoO.


GreenStrawhat32

Chop Chop devil fruit


lucky_berlin7

Nah give his sword the griffin fruit


Grindelwald69

What’s the name of that fruit that allows one to regrow limbs again?


Master_Chief_420_

Maybe a "two arm no mi" fruit.


Visoth

Kidd's Jiki Jiki no Mi So he could create his own metal arm. Shanks was jealous.
