FILM RED SPOILERS BELOW:
Shanks jolly roger shows his scar, so logically speaking that means he got it before he formed his crew:
And yet…
in film red, thats not the case, he has no scar after clearly forming his crew
The picture above is from when Shanks crew first met Uta as an infant baby inside a chest
Uta is said to be 21 years old in present time
Shanks is 39 years old in present time
39 - 21 = 18
This puts Shanks at 18 years old at least when he first formed his crew, and he had no scar then, and yet his jolly roger flag shows so…
BONUS:
When Roger formed his crew with Rayleigh, he had no mustache
and yet his jolly roger shows a mustache:
can these guys see their future appearance and prepare an appropriate flag or what?
the only possible answer to this is if they changed their flag later, but that honestly seems like such an awkward thing to do
from the very early chapters of OP, we learn that a jolly roger is the pride and trademark of a pirate crew, and they risk their lives and honor for raising it
i.e hililuk and foxy
its also the mark to your enemies that signals your presence to them, as people can only identify pirate crews by the flags theyre sailing with
so shanks and roger just changed theirs overtime?
BONUS 2:
Little bit irrelevant but both roger and shanks wore the straw hat before, to the point that the latter was known for it, yet their ephitet/nickname has absolutely no relation to it
