Who injured what many consider one of One Piece’s most powerful characters?
Something that makes One Piece’s story great is knowing how to give the importance it deserves to both the big and small details that accompany a large number of the most relevant characters. Everything has its reason and Every detail can become a fascinating story capable of creating new mysteries and another layer of depth to the series’ plot.
Among the most important characters of One Piece is Red Shanks and one of the mysteries that had accompanied him since his first appearance was the origin of the scars on his face. There was already an official answer from Oda to this mystery, and it turned out to be no one else to blame one of the scariest villains seen so far.
A character that left an indelible mark on Shanks
The scar worn by the powerful pirate irreversibly unites him with one who has become one of the most important characters facing the final part of One Piece: Marshall D. Nuch.
Blackbeard, responsible for Shanks’ scars
Marshall D. Teach, real name Blackbeard, is one of those characters whose appearance usually goes hand in hand with completely unexpected turns in the increasingly complicated One Piece storyline, in addition to being the protagonist of some of the weirdest fan theories, to the point that many have no hesitation in considering Blackbeard as the great enemy that Luffy will face at the end of the series. ..
The origin of Shanks’ injuries was confirmed in chapter 434 of the manga, during one of the best moments of the entire series. In this scene, Shanks appeared before Whitebeard warn of Blackbeard’s dark intentions and his desire for power. The redhead also clarified that this was the result of a completely deliberate attack, which is indicative of the evil that was already living inside of Teech at the time.
Shanks also let us know that he has facial scars the wounds on his body that are most important to him, much more than the arm he lost trying to save Luffy years ago. Without a doubt, the rivalry between these powerful characters is one that has the potential to generate the most interest for fans of the Oda manga.
