This article contains spoilers from Elbaf One Piece.
One piece Fans know very well that Eiichiro ODA, the author of the story, is doing incredibly well to maintain the abilities of Yonko, the Rudoving Sewers, the secrets, but now that the story is the last saga, ODA is slowly expanding to a conspiracy surrounding this character. While Shanks' arsenal of abilities is not properly revealed One piece Yet fans know very well that he is a monster and quite easily the strongest yonko right now.
Most of his strength seems to come from his majestic Haki, or so they would like the fans to believe. However, there could be another ability that hitchhiking Wields and could be very well tied to Devilish. Most fans don't like to entertain the idea Shanks having a devilish fruit powerBut there seems to be a great chance that this is the case.

When it comes to devilish fruit, fans know that they are an important ability to have one piece in the world. The world's strongest fighters with one piece have devilish fruit, but not everyone requires one to be strong in combat. The fact is that the devilish fruit, although they are strong, can still take only one. Haki is just as important and in some cases even more.
Don't cry Luffy. It's just an arm. I'm glad you're fine. – Shanks
Shanks trained his Haki at the absolute full and it is clear that what has not shown little is extraordinary. This means that it is now clear that there may be more than Haki on Shanks, given its earlier connection with the world government and specifically the Holy Knights.
When Shanks sailed around the sea with Roger, it was quite clear that he relied primarily on Haki. Shanks even copied Roger and Rocks' combat style and became the only living person to do it. But things changed when he returned to Marijo for some reason. Shanks was clearly seen with the brand of the Holy Knights on his arm in the Elbaf Arc flashback, and it was clear that he had returned there for some time and lived his life there. Shanks and Shamrock were most likely to train together and eventually where Shanks met Shamrock, most likely. Interestingly, Shamrock does not even have devilish fruit, but his weapon ate devilish fruit or was enchanted by IMU. The same logic applies to Shanks.
Yes, at one point he returned to the Holy Land. However, it seems to be grown too attached to the ground down. – Shamrock Figarland
Shanks' sword could have the power of Gryphone
Shamrock has the power of Cerberus
When he was with Roger, Shanks had no Gryphon with him. Apparently he achieved this powerful blade in Marijoa. There seems to be two blades, Gryphon and Cerberus. As fans already know, Cerberus is dominated by Shamrock Figarland and it is a special blade that can convene a fully developed awakened Cerberus strong enough to cause fatal damage to the enemies and Loki.
Similarly, Shanks has a gryphon swordAnd there is no reason to doubt that its blade can turn into a real gryphon and attack it. Shanks will never eat devilish fruit in person, but the use of a sword with a devilish fruit force is not from the equation.
