Five major battles taking place in One Piece Elbaf
Elbaf will soon start wearing one piece. There will be some major major battles in this arc.
In fact, Shanks may be the most powerful Haki user alive today, which makes him truly special. Shanks has been involved in many powerful battles, and while fans don't know the results of all of his battles, there are a few key victories he claimed in One Piece.
6 Higuma
Defeated by the Redhead Pirates at East Blue
The bandit Higuma is one of the first enemies Shanks faces in the story. Fans know that Higuma was a lowly bandit with an unimpressive level of strength. Of course, against an opponent like him, Shanks would never seriously fight. Shanks panicked because Higuma didn't think the threat he posed was serious enough for him to do anything.
However, when Higuma started pointing fingers at his friends, Shanks became serious. The Red Hair Pirates completely destroyed Higuma's group and forced their leader to escape. Of course, Shanks did not directly fight Higuma one-on-one, but overall, he was the one who defeated Higuma's troops, and ultimately saved Luffy's life, which is one of the landmark events that make up the entire story. The future is huge.
5 CP9 Agent
Shanks won Gomu Gomu no Mi in CP9.
Shanks decided to sail to East Blue long before he even met Luffy in Fushia Village. In these waters, Shanks attacked a government ship, which contained the incredibly powerful Gomu Gomunomie. Shanks found out about this and attacked the ship to secure the fruit. On board the ship were CP9 agents, including Who's Who.
Shanks, who was that strong, succeeded in completely destroying them and securing Gomu Gomu's beauty. This devil fruit is eaten by Luffy all the way to the village where Shanks took it.
4 Ryokugyu
Shanks forced Green Bull to submit to Wano.
In the Wano Country arc, Shanks got a glimpse of his powers. Shortly after the war with Kaido ended, Admiral Green Bull attacked Kaido. His goal was to take Luffy's head and make Akainu happy. However, before Ryokugyu can approach Luffy, he is stopped by Akazaya Nine. Unfortunately, they fought him off, but it was Shanks who decided to intervene and utilized his mighty Conqueror's Haki from miles away.

One Piece: All Yonko Bounties, Rankings
Yonko has the highest bounty in One Piece history. Here are the highest bounties of their ranks.
This conqueror's hockey caused noticeable pain to the Green Bull and at the same time forced him into submission. Of course, this once again wasn't a full-blown battle, one that didn't see Shanks take down the Green Bull. But the fact that Green Bull was clearly defeated is proof enough that Shanks was the man who emerged as the winner of this minor clash.
3 bartholomew
The Red Hair Pirates destroyed the Barto Club.
Bartolomeo is a very powerful pirate in the New World and is also Luffy's subordinate. At some point, Bartolomeo burned Shanks' flag in his territory and replaced it with the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates. Shanks clearly couldn't stand this and had to do something about it. In the Final Saga, Shanks found Bartolomeo and destroyed his entire crew.
Bartolomeo was ready to kill himself to protect Luffy, and Shanks spared him, but it was Yasopp who ended up destroying the Red-haired Pirates' ship, essentially adding another victory to Shanks' book.
2 killer
Shanks took down Killer with an unintentional attack.
Killer is a powerful and worst pirate who ends up facing off against Shanks in the Final Saga. After the Little Pirates' victory at Wano, they sailed to Elbaf, where they planned to fight the Red-Haired Pirates and defeat Shanks.
Unfortunately, Shanks killed them before they could set foot on Elbaf. In the case of Killer, he stepped into Shanks' path of attack and took on him head-on, completely destroying himself in the process. This is an incredible feat for Shanks, but absolutely humiliating for the Killer. Especially since the attack Shanks launched wasn't meant for him, but still ended up taking him down in one shot.
1 children
Shanks defeated the 3 billion berry pirates.
Kid is one of the worst pirates with a bounty of 3 billion Berries. Clearly, he's one of the big names in the New World, and someone Shanks took seriously when they met briefly outside of Elbaf. Kid thought he was ready to take down Shanks, but received a reality check when the red-haired emperor knocked him down with one swing of his sword.
Shanks swung his sword at Haki and then delivered a powerful attack towards the worst pirate, knocking him down in one go. So far, this is Shanks' most impressively publicized victory in the story, and fans can be sure that more will follow as future battles unfold, as well as his past being revealed.
