There's only one pirate who can defeat Shanks
Bro I'm so positive Shanks is losing to Blackbeard in this manga that I would actually cry tears of joy if Buggy somehow beat Shanks.
There's a reason Raticate hasn't gone after Bartolomeo like he said he would:
He also conveniently "missed Blackbeard" at Wano.
I wonder how much Haki Garling has lent him? Or Imu or the Gorosei too?
Would explain a lot really. Sold his soul and thus his integrity, his personality for power. The true Faustian/devil's bargain.
I'd laugh if he has actually eaten a fruit this whole time too secretly, maybe Toki's fruit and that's how he gets around so fast? Would explain where her fruit has gone too.
Red Haired Corrupt Pirates - Shanksification:
(Verse 1)
Shill accounts from Twitter try to defend your lack of motivation
Little boys from 4chan dream of Shanks' next dumb conversation
And if you want this kind of cringe, it's Shanks-infestation
(Verse 2)
He's the worst of the yonko and all of fandom frustration
The dawn may rise with Luffy, but Shanks is the plot's constipation
It's understood that Oda fails with Shanks-infestation
(Pre-Chorus)
Pay your editor very well to break the spell of aggravation
Plot armor thick: is this a brick or is that war you're faking?
First born Mary Sue
Hardcore, who are you?
(Chorus)
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
(Verse 3)
Marry me, Shanks, you bland Gary Stu of the nation
A washed-up pirate with a scar so lame, getting high on inflation
And buy me a break from this borefest, it's Shanks-infestation
(Verse 4)
Laugh Tale may be the final goal, but Shanks is the fanbase's damnation
And Roger, can you hear the critics sighing songs of condemnation?
And Marineford's not far away, it's Shanks-infestation
(Pre-Chorus)
Born and raised by those who praise control of every damnation
Well, everybody hates him, and I don't mean out of pure vexation
First born Mary Sue
Hardcore, who are you?
(Chorus)
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
(Verse 5)
Haki blast leads to a very dull road, filled with pure irritation
And cringe trains are to a hater's heart, they're just another bad vibration
And Kaido's fists couldn't save the world from Shanks-infestation
(Pre-Chorus)
Pay your editor very well to break the spell of stagnation
Stronger than the rest, there is no test, but this is pure vexation
First born Mary Sue
Hardcore, who are you?
(Chorus)
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
Scream of Shanks-infestation
