The One Piece theory suggests that Shanks might be a good character after all.
Uncover Shanks' FORMER ties to the World Government…CRAZY IDEA
Red-Haired Shank's unparalleled power was recently witnessed by One Piece anime fans when the Emperor of the Sea decided to one-shot Eustass Kid and his crew in Elbaf. Fans have been waiting for Shanks to make some kind of move in the One Piece story that would reflect his powers as one of the strongest characters in the entire series.
What makes him strong is not only his terrifying Haki abilities but also the fact that even with a single arm he managed to reach the level that many pirates can only dream of. But he didn't lose his arm in a battle, but while saving Luffy from a Sea King. Since Shanks is a mysterious character, fans believe that Shanks saved Luffy for his ulterior motives.
However, a One Piece theory proves that Shanks sacrificing his arm frees his status as a villainous character in One Piece. Not only that, it justifies him for any actions that make him look suspicious.
