Serious question.

Shanks keeps spouting all this talk about new, young pirates changing pirate history,
yet he keeps fighting their wars for them.


He calls Luffy a great pirate, yet still has to save his ass.


Why did he interfere? If Alliance is that powerful, why not just let them beat up Aramaki and that way Aramaki gets to see how strong New Age of pirates is? Or that way New Age of pirates gets another accomplishment to their list?

Yet the only excuse we get from Shanks is "they are exhausted". With that Shanks implies that exhausted alliance can't handle Aramaki and Aramaki would have an unfair advantage because he would be "fighting dirty" because of that
(even though Greenbull is literally going 1 vs everyone???)


And mind you alliance had more than 1 week of rest time. They are certainly healthy enough to handle more than 1 Yonko. Luffy was getting up to fight Kaido after getting knocked out like 4 times just because of few minutes of rest time. I'm sure 1 week is more than enough for Luffy (and everyone else) to recover most of their strength.

1. For Oda to promote One Piece Film: Red.

And for that Shanks has to interfere? He could've easily drawn Shanks reacting to the news of Luffy and saying how he wants to go after one piece. Literally how he did the first time we saw him at Wano. Maybe even giving some of Shanks' flashback with Blackbeard or Roger?

Why does he need to make Shanks interfere with Greenbull for Film Red?

Not to mention trailers, color spreads and ads are for promoting.

2. Oda needs to save Greenbull for later. The alliance would've wrecked him.

He could've drawn alliance wrecking Greenbull and Greenbull later recovering from it. It's not that hard.

How so? Alliance just beat 2 Yonko, why beating 1 Admiral would not make Admirals look good?

And Shanks instead of listening to his own words and leaving to handle the situation to the new age of pirates, he has to step in and say that somehow Aramaki is "fighting dirty"

It's not enough. Making Shanks "scared" an Admiral with his haki feats explode his hype even more, so the Shanks cults would be more eager to buy the film red tickets. Showing him without any feats seems less interesting

Nah. That was the best way to hype Shanks.

Bad take. This would dehype Greenbull too much. With what happened, atleast one can give GB an excuse that he cowered 'cause the RHP officers were there as well.

Film red is the main reason imo.
Shanks had a similar scene in the movie against admirals as well.
The thing is that Luffy and co didn't show any sign of worry in the sight of GB and i seriously believe Luffy alone would be too much for GB, let alone with the other three with him lol.
He couldn't have an admiral lose a fight against the strawhats and then have a fight against them later in the story. I don't think he ever did such a thing in all those years and admirals are special on top of that.
