Please stop trying to kill Shanks guys
It's not my fault that he keeps raising death flags
Blackbeard seems like a character that was created to kill Shanks
Man gave him his scar, was the main concern for Shanks Pre-TS, making him go to Whitebeard to warn him
Then in Marineford we get him stopping the war and then Blackbeard saying "it's
too soon to fight Shanks"
Then in the Post-TS we see him now going to warn the World Governament about Blackbeard (most likely)
It just seems like that's where things are going...
Shanks also seems like the keeper of balance between the Whitebeard Era and the Next Era
and both Blackbeard and Luffy are two possible Eras that can come after, so Shanks is actively trying to stop one of those and trying to motivate the other
it just seems like the natural progression of the Story
and there's gonna be another "Ace" for the Final War
that could be Sabo, Hancock, Vivi and Shanks so far
