One Piece

Is there still anyone delusional enough to deny that Shanks is not a villain? Even after chapter 1044?

>"NOOOOO he's all about MUH BALANCE"

He's even based on Long John Silver, the mentor-turned antagonist of Treasure Island. Just accept it

I want evil Shanks solely because of the shitposting material
Imagine if he really does hate figgers

long john silver isn't even a villain

>He was the left arm
Another subtle hint hes a vampire with regeneration skills. Truly GODA (and Toei)

>Long John Silver has a parrot, named Captain Flint in honor—or mockery—of his former captain,[3] who generally perches on Silver's shoulder, and is known to chatter pirate or seafaring phrases like "Pieces of Eight", and "Stand by to go about."

>Silver claims to have served in the Royal Navy and lost his leg under "the immortal Hawke".

>He also claims to have been the only man whom Flint ever feared. Like many of Stevenson's characters, there is significant duality in the character; ostensibly Silver is a hardworking and likeable seaman, and it is only as the plot unfolds that his villainous nature is gradually revealed. His relationship with Jim Hawkins, the novel's protagonist and narrator, belies that duality, as he serves as a mentor and eventually father-figure to Jim, creating much shock and emotion when it is discovered that he is in charge of the mutiny, and especially when Jim must confront and fight him later on.

>Although treacherous and willing to change sides at any time to further his own interests, Silver has compensating virtues. He is wise enough to save his money, in contrast to the spendthrift ways of most of the pirates. He is physically courageous despite his disability: for instance, when Flint's cache is found to be empty, he coolly stands his ground against five murderous seamen despite having only Jim, a boy in his teens, to back him.[6]

How is this similiar to shanks?

>Mutilated veteran pirate with a color-related nickname that is manipulating a kid to use him as a tool to find the treasure of his former captain

Dunno. Indeed they seems polar opposites

Wouldn't mind him being a villain but what about Shanks wanting to fullfil Joyboy's prophecy makes him a villain?
