So kinda the whole basis for my sig post I made a few years ago. The idea is we dont really know who Shanks is or what he wants. If he's alluded to be subservient to the government, one avenue I can see is "guiding" Luffy to make sure he gets One Piece and not Blackbeard, so that Shanks can then take or betray him.
Im not sure I expect fully "evil" Shanks (again, if this is even remotely true), but I can see it going this way post Blackbeard/Laugh Tale.
