"Red-Haired" Shanks also typically called "Red Hair", is the captai of the Red Hair Pirates a member of the Four Emperors that rule over the New World He is likewise a previous member of the legendary Roger Pirates, the only group to successfully dominate the Grand Line, where he began as a pirate as an apprentice. Notably, he is the pirate who influenced Monkey D. Luffy to go on his journey as a pirate, and his crewmate Lucky Roux discovered the Gomu Gomu no Mi that was accidentally eaten by Luffy.
ContentsAppearanceEdit Shanks is a reasonably high man (just under 2 meters), sturdy, tan-complexioned, and in the prime of his mid-adulthood. Among the Four Emperors past and present he stands apart as the tiniest, most normal-sized by far, the others being various degrees of inhumanly proportioned. True to his epithet, Shanks has clearly red hair: usually portrayed throughout media as deep-crimsonish. Worthwhile of note is that, distinctively among all characters yet seen, even ones with comparable hair tone, Shanks' hair is the sole one filled with grayscale in the black-and-white manga (instead of inked black or left white). His first-seen hairdo was a directly, middle-parted one kept loosely down to nape length, with shorter (at eye level), curtained bangs in the front. [5] In later appearances (at 10 years older), he is revealed with a little longer hair, wavier and more slicked back than prior to except for some few strands he lets fall down the sides of his face, pushed further sideward than stated prior bangs.
On his face lives a secondary trademark: a triple set of vertically parallel, linear scars that pass at an angle over his left (untouched) eye, revealed to have actually been provided to him by Blackbeard some unidentified time prior to the start of the series. Additionally, Shanks' left arm is missing from below the deltoid, a result of him conserving Luffy from a Sea King when Luffy was a child.
As did his hair, Shanks' face modifications as the manga's art design advances: at first, it appeared more youthful, a soft jawline tapering down to a small, pointy chin. Its features were similarly milder than later representations and, conserve for his little nose, likewise bigger, most so his plain-black eyes, topped by thin eyebrows. [5] Later on appearances show him more considerably countenanced, the square of his jaw, the sharper, narrower pair of eyes, and the chiseled, more plainly bridged nose providing him a manlier look. More constant stays the male's facial hair, however, that he has always kept in a neatly thin connection of beard and mustache stubble, forming the beginnings of a circle beard.

Clothes-wise, Shanks used to wear a specific straw hat acquired from Gol D. Roger (his previous captain) that was associated with his image up until he passed it on to Luffy. Otherwise, his attire constantly consists of a sweeping long, sleeveless black cape with a high collar (in the anime bearing a lighter, gray within), and under it an easy, white t-shirt half-buttoned up, exposing the middle of his chest and upper abs. Furthermore, Shanks is constantly seen using pants cut below the knee, collected halfway up the shin. Initially (Chapter 1) the pair was a slightly loose, plain-brown one with golden buttons down the outer leg sides, and with a red sash around his waist to keep his shirt tucked inside. Later on, he is seen wearing a different, mildly baggier set of trousers with a green-yellow, indiscernible flower pattern (now exposing plenty leg hair), and his t-shirt is neglected of his sash, which is now revealed holding his saber at his ideal side. Lastly, his shoes includes easy brown sandals, their soles gray-studded. After the timeskip, he is at some point seen wearing different pants yet again, light-colored with a rose pattern.
