"Shanks was literally willing to fight all of them in thst doublespread, not just BB."
you mean with his entire crew? or are you just ignoring the people in the back? rofl
mate shanks entire crew didnt even get a classic introduction in the story , a number of them got their names revealed in an sbs
oda doesnt need to offscreen anything. I am telling you he isnt the final villain you want him to be. imagine ulti page one having their names revealed in an sbs before they get an official introduction in the manga its unprecedented.
if you think he is getting pluton then right now we have arrived at a contradiction
1. that blackbeard wouldn't need to do anything but prove that he is > luffy to be hyped .
2. BB is going after pluton implies he has and will do something to establish himself as the top pirate in the era .
and say he is going after pluton
you think he would just waltz to it ?
that strong people wouldnt be there to try and stop him and fail?
what pirate was shanks so concerned about he went to the gorosei
cant spell out luffy's mortal enemy anymore than this .
shanks isnt an endgame villain for luffy .
