Oh so it started in punk hazard now… Weren’t you just saying it started in chapter 1 romance dawn that Luffy fighting shanks has been written into the story from day one or some shit? Now you are saying it’s the punk hazard statement that made it a thing? Okay… Backtrack all you want
Now let’s ask the community, INCLUDING YOU why the Luffy vs Shanks in Elbaf during a Davy back fight theory started 4 years ago… Punk hazard was the arc that was being written at the time I caught up to the manga… In fact I caught up to the manga and joined the online One piece community TWO CHAPTERS after the Law and Luffy alliance when Luffy said he would fight all the yonko
And guess what? No fuckin theory or discussions about Luffy actually fighting shanks appeared… for years… The only theories that ever existed were the evil shanks theories… For years all over Reddit, Arlong park and OroJackson… how come you are claiming this is some event as monumental as Zoro vs Mihawk yet nothing came from it discussion wise for fuckin years
Then the Davy back fight theory started and people remembered something from Romance Dawn… In chapter 1, Luffy promised shanks that he would make AN ENTIRE CREW better than Shanks’ crew… So actually Luffy vs shanks had to be the entire strawhats vs The red hair pirates and that’s what made the Davy back fight theory work… coz why the fuck would The whole Luffy’s crew fight the whole Shanks’s crew? And then for whatever reason someone through in Mihawk here for some reason and now it’s like guaranteed in some people’s minds or some shit
man, but I guess you believes that you believe that this has been a staple of One piece from chapter 1 right? Even though I’ve myself been in this community since the very moment Luffy ever first mentioned fighting shanks and no one in the community ever said shit about that actually happening… Now you simply because of the popularity of this Elbaf theory, it’s suddenly some obvious thing that people have been discussing for 20 years of this manga like Zoro vs Mihawk right?
man… I don’t know… I’m legit getting angry now… Not even because of the point of the argument… Just coz you are trying to rewrite what the community has been about now… Like as if some of us who have been here for like a decade would just forget what we were doing all that time

He said it Punk hazard… Once
1. Could care less when you joined the OP community or how much clout you think it brings you
2. The Davvy Backfight did not exist as a concept in Chapter one.
3. If you've read any of
my theories on the importance of Shanks, the hat, and how this narrative comes full circle because of it, you'd know how much I know how important Chapter 1 is.
4. This isn't about "other" people's opinions on the matter. It's about my opinion on the matter and yours.
5. Luffy vs Shanks is a conversation I and others have had on APForums for years. Of course the site is customarily down at like it typically is every year.
6. Elbaf theories and Daavy backfight theories are literally just theories that took themselves way too far in this fanbase. Does anyone even know how a Daavy Backfight works? You steal the crew of the opposing team. Or is that not part of the rules anymore? Shanks looks like Eric the Red? His ship like a viking ship? Please tell me more how their designs are oh so similar, because I do not see a resemblance there. Not even saying he can't have Elbaf under his territory, I'm just pointing out that the "theories" behind them are unfounded. Hell, the Laugh Tale gatekeeper theory (which was piled on with these 2) already got debunked because Shanks never went to Laugh Tale nor knew its location as confirmed by Oden's flashback. Could he have the 4th RP? Who knows.
What I'm telling you about Luffy vs Shanks, as a fight, is pure fact by virtue of what Luffy is saying in the manga. Not a theory. He's said it multiple times. YOU are the one acting like Luffy's words in Chapter 1 mean he wants to play some game with Shanks to surpass him. Awfully hypocritical.
7. Stay angry, it's funnier that way
