So we all know that shanks uses one arm only and that is his sword Gryphon. The name "Gryphon" gives a small hint what his powers could be. In greek Mythology the Gryphon acts
as a symbol of the sun, light, wisdom, and enlightenment. It also means a guardian or protector.

Makes hell a lot of sense right after we got to known to shanks? He is like a peacekeeper. (Good character). He has such a great sense of justice. He is the most respected character of all. Because even the Gorosei allowed him to talk with them. They said: "Just because it's you". He asked Sengoku to stop the war. So did he with the same quote "Just because it's you". He warns everyone of a disaster, war and all those things.

So for example > He warned Whitebeard to not lay fingers on Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard.

He prevented Kaido from interfering with the marineford war.

Now let's get on to his fighting abilities > he possesses all 4 Types of haki which are maxed out. He uses his sword "Gryphon". A gryphon is an eagle-like animal. What are special about eagles? Their sight and prey hunting. Which would be his observation haki. So like an eagle > He would foresee upcoming events or attacks way sooner. He would spot enemies from a way further distance. More than a sniper would. So Luffy and other amateurs have to focus and prepare to use their "Haki"... but for shanks... it all happens natural by itself without to put any effort. Remember the scene where he entered whitebeards ship? Almost everyone passed out without any effort. And so would that be with his other haki types.

Armanent Haki > not just weapons but also his environment. (As he is a protector, it would require)

Observation Haki > Eagle sight and greater

Conqueror's haki > An entire Island... and not just his environment

Intimidation Haki > No sea monster would dare to attack him. He makes his opponents shiver to the bones. (Watch how Akainu was terribly frightened. He was sweating as well). Mihawk left the war.
