Trying to put gb as high as kaido was a good investment lol.
All the hype was from beating king and queen, two wounded warriors.
We didn't see how they lose or how gb would deal with fire and laser attacks. What we know is that queen's arm was destroyed and he was in bandages, king's fire was off and he was in bandages as well.
Anyway, it's not like any of us can prove anything but there are many scenarios that we could look into but the majority just decided to shit on queen and king (especially) just for the agenda piece.
Shanks realising CoC burst was either to actually scare the admiral or to say hallo to luffy and the rest.
Luffy pairs with kid again, maybe will give some clue to kid's haters lol
