Shanks is a very important character in One Piece. He was the one who triggered Luffy to start his adventure to find One Piece the treasure. So far, Shanks is called the strongest Yonkou. His influence in the pirate world is enormous, even Shanks is also respected by high-ranking Marine, Sengoku.

This time, Dunia Games would like to discuss about the coolest quotes by Shanks that can give us goosebumps. Have a look!

1. "Pistols aren't for threats. They're for actions! Are you willing to risk your life?"

The first Shanks' quote was said in episode 4, to be precise in the flashback where Luffy met Shanks at the Makino Bar. Even though he looks friendly, Shanks is still a pirate. Moreover, he is a very feared Yonkou. It's not strange if Shanks acts like a pirate in general.

If Higuma's men only dared to bluff with a gun, Shanks made his move. It was Lucky Roo who moved at that moment, he quickly shot Higuma's man in the head. This shows the firmness of the Red Hair Pirates led by a Yonkou.

2. "This girl is my daughter... If you want to take her, you better be ready to die!"

One Piece Film: RED which premiered last year, is the latest and best-selling One Piece film due to the appearance of Shanks. As a mysterious character, Shanks is rarely seen in the story. But once he appears, fans will be excited with his actions.

In Film: RED, Uta was about to be captured by Admiral Fujitora and Kizaru. Knowing this, Shanks as her father,  rushed to protect her, to the point of intimidating a fighter as strong as Kizaru. This is not strange because Shanks is the strongest Haki user and is also currently respected and feared Yonkou.

3. "I'll leave this hat with you. It's dear to me."

This quote was said at the beginning of the story, to be precise in the flashback of Luffy and Shanks meeting at the Makino Bar. At that time, Shanks left his precious straw hat to Luffy. Luffy, who received Shanks' recognition, naturally felt very happy and honored, and his dream to become a Pirate King was also born.

Of course, Shanks didn't just give the hat to Luffy, but because he believed in him. Shanks also asked Luffy to return the back after Luffy fulfilled his dream.

4. "The courageous moments that you created by risking your life, have changed the future of the world tremendously."

The Marineford War was the biggest fight in One Piece before entering the New World. Here, Luffy had to deal with three Marine Admirals to save Ace. Back then, Akainu was too tough to be beaten, and he had the heart to finish Coby, his subordinate.

Interestingly, Shanks came and saved Coby from Akainu's magma fist. The reason was that, according to Shanks, Coby had done the right thing. Ending the war is the right thing to do to avoid more casualties.

5. "I've come to end this war!"

When Shanks came to the half-destroyed Marineford, he immediately said he wanted to end the war. Interestingly, no one dared to oppose Shanks at that time, including Teach who had just taken Shirohige's Gura Gura no Mi ability. Shanks' entrance is one of the coolest entrances in One Piece

At that time, maybe you were still wondering why no one dared to oppose Shanks. Recently, it has been explained that he is the strongest Yonkou in the manga.

6. "If anyone still wants to fight...then come! We will be your opponents!"

This scene is the Red Hair Pirates' coolest performance so far. Even though they look relaxed, it doesn't mean that this pirate group is weak. As a Yonkou who is confident in his abilities, Shanks vowed to fight anyone who's not willing to end the Marineford war.

Akainu seemed brave enough to challenge Shanks, but Sengoku as Fleet Admiral had other plans. He ordered all his troops to retreat, ending the war.

7. "It's okay to cry, but you have to move on."

At the end of the Marineford war, Luffy really experienced great sadness because he lost his older brother, Ace. From a distance, Shanks returned Luffy's straw hat through Buggy. Shanks showed Luffy that the most important thing is not victory, but living to see the future.

Shanks understood the pain Luffy was going through after losing Ace. Because of that, he sympathized by promising to take care of Ace's and Shirohige's funeral.

8. "I bet this arm on a new era."

Although it looks dramatic, actually this scene is a bit absurd. The reason was that Shanks had become a Yonkou and might just be the strongest at that time. How could he fail to protect his hand from the sea monster that should look weak to him?

One thing we can be sure of is that this is what triggered Luffy to start his adventure to find One Piece and become the Pirate King. Maybe from the start, Shanks wanted Luffy to get his captain's treasure? Who knows. Let's wait for the facts at the end of the story!

9. "You can pour drinks on me... but good reason or not, nobody hurts a friend of mine!"

This can be seen in the flashback of Luffy's meeting with Shanks at the beginning of the story. When the Red Hair Pirates were partying at Makino's bar until a group of mountain bandits led by Higuma came. Higuma arrogantly flaunted his meager bounty on Shanks.

Shanks was kind enough to give him his sake, but Higuma instead poured it on Shanks' head. The funny thing was, Shanks' crew just laughed at this, and so did Shanks. Luffy who was angry to see this then challenged Higuma. When Higuma was about to hurt Luffy, then Shanks showed his anger.

10. "We're pirates! We don't play by the rules!"

When Higuma made Luffy a hostage, the mountain bandit threatened Shanks to shoot him in the head if he got close. The mountain bandit had no idea who he was dealing with.

Shanks then mentioned that pirates like himself didn't follow the rules. Just then, Lucky Roo appeared out of nowhere and shot the mountain bandit very fast. After that, Higuma was really afraid of Shanks.
