Luffy and Shanks beating the dogshit out of Blackbeard before fighting each other for the rights to Laugh Tale would be amazing, ngl
Im trying to understand the completely unearned idea that Blackbeard must dumbledore/jiraiya (Hes not even Luffy's mentor...) Shanks to make him the "ultimate" villain lol. It literallt does not compute because i never actually hear good arguments for it.
