Abilities and Powers[]
Shanba’s intelligence[6] allows him to use advanced weapons, such as the rocket spears that he and his tribe mates are seen using.[5] He seems to be quite proficient in using them.[7]
When Chopper landed on Torino Kingdom, Shanba was one of the inhabitants who suggested making the reindeer into stew[2] and was seen chasing him.[5] Afterward, he, along with a few others, engaged in a fight with the Torino birds.[7] Later, Shanba and the other natives befriended Chopper, who eventually resolved the conflict between them and the Torino birds. They bid Chopper farewell when he left to return to Luffy.[9] Shanba was seen again with the rest of his tribe when Chopper returned, and said that his disguise wasn't working.[6]
