RED HAIR CREW

 *Theory by Fawzi Stun
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Everyone knows how badass is this Yonkou , the guy have the Ideals of the Marines and the power of an Admiral , he rules the New world in equal positions with the most 3 strongest pirates of the One Piece world.
But truly what do we actually know about this guy , yes he was in Gol D Roger crew , now he is an Emperor , he got some fine crew members , he can take a blow from White-beard with one hand , he got the respect of the Marines and everyone fears him.

But that is it , we clearly know nothing about his past , and where the story is now we do not have much data to even start a theory about that.
Then what about his crew? How did they meet? How strong they are (except from showing them in badass postures threatening admirals and marines)? What is their real strength? I have been re-reading One Piece again (i do it when bored) and i noticed something strange , not really strange but kept me thinking :
When i see the other 3 Emperors , they all have a great number of companions and i mean a great number (to a point where they have to divide them into numerous Division to better manage them and because no boat can gather them all).
WhiteBeard is the best example as are Big Mom (when kid destroyed some of her ships) and also Kaido (the guy has 500 devil fruit users so…)
Then, what about Shanks? An emperor with a single ship? Really?
It is known and shown he is neither stupid nor is he weak , on the contrary , besides  he is the one who best know that you need to swim with the flow for a time , play with their rules because if they really want to , don’t tell me they can’t get him (these Emperors if he was truly a single ship Emperor)
So my guess is all the major crew members that are shown with him are actually Division Captains
Besides all these captain were at a point in time independent Captains of their own.

What made me think of that is when you look at them in chapter (580) the guys are really distinct and their stand doesn’t  look like a subordinate stand but more of an independent captain and one more not so strong an argument is the fact that they all are wearing capes (you can check for yourself it is almost Captains trademark and  exclusivity)

Another factor is in One Piece world crew members wear the tattoo of their captains  (White Beard , Arlong , Sun Pirates) and the alternative would be to not wear any tattoo at all but as we can see different members of Shanks Crew have different tattoos and not any tattoos , they are really distinctive and more of a Crew Symbol than a drunk_on_rum pirate getting pranked by his fellow crew mates.

So this is only a theory nothing to get excited about  ðŸ™‚

    Interesting theory and it may be actually true given your reasoning. But at the same time we have seen that Roger had a single crew (although that was not canon, but ODA would not allow such misleading actions). I think that Shanks, just like his Captain Gol D Roger gathered strong pirates and got them in their crew. Just like the rookie from his crew states: “But when I WAS a pirate”. Still ODA has a great sense of working things out just the right way. Also it would be just more badass that Shanks is a Yonko capable of fighting on par with other Yonko’s with only his own crew and a single ship:)

    Why is it so weird to have only one ship? the pirate king had just one ship and the future pirate king doesn’t even have ten people on his ship. Maybe Oda just wanted to create a pattern or just to show that you do not need great numbers to have great power.
    Just think how he found Yassop: if Shanks chose all his crew like that, he doesn’t need great numbers, since he has great people with him. And if you find weird that they pose like badasses and seem kind of independent, just remember ussop often introduces himself as “Captain” Ussop. Maybe it is just that Shanks doesn’t think his crew as subordinates, but as equal nakama.

  3. I think shanks has a small crew …. because , wel luffy stated in the beggining that he wants 10 subordinates … and shanks is luffys ideal pirate … so i think luffy got the idea from seeing shanks beiing a pirate .. also .. why wouldnt shanks go to marineford with ALL his crew … and just showed up with 10 people .. BUT at the peisode where mihawk finds shanks so that he can tell himi thet he met luffy … shanks crew seemed to be big enough ..

  4. Shanks may be like Luffy and have only a small select crew that are officially under his jolly roger, but like the strawhats they have guys that connected/affiliated with them eg flying heart riders, Hacchi etc and in select cases are backed up Shanks crew members.
