Red-Haired Shanks is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors.
As an important character in One Piece, his personal life is not mentioned much.
And recently in One Piece chapter 1018 it seems to have revealed a bit about Shanks’ background.
However, there are many opinions that it is a bit difficult to understand Who’s-Who being imprisoned just because of losing a devil fruit.
Let’s remember the battle at Marineford, Shanks was the one who stood up to stop an angry Admiral Akainu, then declared that he would end the war, he even asked to get his body back.
This is truly a crazy thing when a Yonko has such a big role, being able to force the navy to stop a war with pirates.
Or in chapter 907, the fact that Shanks appeared at Mary Geoise sanctuary to meet the Five Elder Stars surprised many people when a top pirate in the New World came to meet the leaders of the World Government – 2
This is right in the territory of the Heavenly Dragons without any precautions from the Government.
It can be seen that Shanks is the only Four Emperors where even a small action can have a big impact on the Government, from the navy to the Admiral or the Five Elder Stars, making them worry and not daring to act rashly.
All of the above shows that Shanks’ true identity may be that of a Celestial Dragon.
Or rather, the role that a Thien Long Nhan needs to do is to protect the small but volatile peace of this world.
And if you think about it in the long term, Shanks being a Celestial Dragon will be one of the biggest turning points of One Piece.
