He lost his arm because of an editorial decision. Not because of consistency. The fact that you keep going on about it shows how desperate you are.
Saying that something happened in OP because of an editor and not because of actual plot consistency, then calling other people desperate
Fact is, if Shanks wasn't in his prime when he lost his arm, then his sacrifice to Luffy is actually meaningless.
The thing about sacrifice is,
You have to actually give something up.
So if Shanks lost his left arm but didn't actually lose any strength,
then he didn't actually sacrifice anything and the entire plot of OP is a sham.
You don't actually believe that do you?
