It makes perfect sense lol. Why do people sit here and make up these asinine excuses. Literally in Punk Hazard to Law after he says "Let's take down the Yonko":
Luffy: "As long as Shanks isn't first"
In Wano to Hyou:
Luffy:
Literally shanks after seeing Luffy's bounty:
Does this look like a joke to you? A fun time between friends?
Same guy who does this soon after?
You guys need to stop this weird narrative of Shanks is "testing" Luffy or Shanks will have a "friendly competition" with Luffy. The Davy backfight theory gets on my nerves sometimes, because it's been elevated to an ACTUAL expectation outside of actually understanding these parts in the manga.
