Controversial Shanks encounter with Kidd did nothing positive for the story?

#63
Kidd beating Shanks will be a lot better writing
I love how some people still think anyone other than BB is even sniffing Shanks
I mean Blackbeard & his Crew were Used as Hype Tool for Magellan, but when it comes to Shanks vs Kid? It ruins the Story
No they weren't. They beat his ass like he stole something in the second round. It's just that they didn't know about his powers the first time.

@JoNdule Kidd will have his revenge.
Shanks is a rat, his sword is an eagle. Remember, eagle eats rat in real life.
Kidd will defeat Shanks using Shanks' own sword.
It's a Griffin you fucking goblin

Kidd vs Shanks was perfect, it ended just as it should've had, with a tremendous display of talent from one of the strongest pirate against an arrogant idiot who didn't learn his lesson from the last time they've met.

There is no build-up ruined, Oda always portrayed Kid as arrogant, reckless and imprudent character and that did not change.

The problem is some of you thought Kidd was Sasuke when he has always been Kiba.
This is exactly it ^
Excellent analogy too, you nailed it !
After Kaido, you'd think Kid would have learned his lesson...he didn't and deserved everything! and even then he still got ''spared'' the humiliation of watching his crew get decimated before he fell, it would have been an even better ending for this shitty character.
Unfortunately he will come back even more arrogant and shittier than ever...we have a precedent with Luffy...

Teach won’t beat Shanks
Shanks is legit a rat who avoids any serious fights.

He could have beat Teach if he teamed up with Marco in the payback war, but his ass did nothing.

In chapter 1 he went off about how he’d never forgive someone who hurts his nakama, yet he didn’t do shit to Kaido, who killed Oden.

Instead of challenging Kaido or BM, he just waited for the supernova to beat them and took the poneglyphs from Kid.

I’m convinced Shanks vs Teach will be nothing more than a short clash confirming that Teach has ACoC and can split the sky.

I think Shanks will actually more or less do nothing until Luffy beats Teach making Shanks his final obstacle to One Piece.

Oda has been hyping Teach vs Shanks since the pre ts and even now continues to have Shanks be on the trail for Teach. There’s no way he’s just leaving their fight at a “clash”

Funniest thing about this is how Shanks made sure Kidd “was healed” after his fight as to not contradict himself after what he said to Greenbull, then proceeded to sneak attack him murder his crew and decimate his ship leaving him to the sharks
:gokulaugh::gokulaugh::gokulaugh:
If luffy wasn't there shanks wouldn't have given a damn. Oda's has to insist as hard as possible that shanks is a saint and all powerful.

His actions just don’t make sense. Teach has been growing in power since pre skip.

Why is Shanks waiting up until Teach is at his peak to challenge him? If he was really serious why didn’t he do it during the payback war?

Why didn’t he help Wang Zhi?

Shanks seems to be just waiting for Luffy to do everything. That’s why he gave his arm for Luffy. He knew Luffy would be joyboy.

Idk why he doesn’t just attack him, but it’s clear it will be the biggest letdown in the entire big 3 shonen community for Oda to just leave out their fight at a simple clash. This is something years in the making

Same reason the Gorosei didn't go after Luffy pre ts. Can't have the main protagonist and antagonist getting wiped out so soon (plus Oda didn't really think it through)

the government was trying to kill luffy since he first made himself known as a major threat in alabasta. its strongly implied rob lucci was specifically given orders to kill luffy.

in chapter 382 they already accomplished their mission and captured franky and robin, but Lucci holds them back and says "regardless of who is in charge of this unit, we're loyal to the world government" and when spandam asks him what he wants, he says "blood, when we're here, murder is justified."

later, in chapter 404, cp9 is being tailed by chimney and her cat. Spandam asks why Rob Lucci didn't eliminate them, and Lucci says that he only kills who he's been ordered to. Considering he tries to kill Luffy and targets him specifically in this arc, this strongly suggests Rob Lucci was ordered to kill Luffy.

also Kuma specifically offered to help Moria take down Luffy.
"If you think you might need my help, you need only ask." - Kuma.
"Are you telling me the Government is so scared they want to throw two of the seven Warlords at him?" - Moria.
"Before the incident at Enies Lobby, no one thought Rob Lucci could lose." - Kuma

so to me this means Rob Lucci was clearly ordered to kill Luffy, and so were Moria and Kuma.

What I never understood tho is people who hate on kid are the same people who praise Law

Laws track record is just as bad if not worst the only reason Law didn't die on dressrosa was because the strawhats where there to bail him out
What is blud waffling about? Lmfao

Law saved Luffy and Smoker from Caesar by being smart enough to hide keys to their Kairoseki handcuffs

Law kept Smoker’s heart instead of giving it away and actually saved him

Law saved Sanji from being cooked salami by Doffy

Law saved Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Brook, and the Thousand Sunny from getting meteor-diffed by Fujitora

Without Law there is no chance to get to Zou

Without Law SHs would have ended their journey in PH, if not then definitely in Dressrosa as Doffy would have smoked half of the crew right then and there. While keeping Doffy and Fujiitora at bay for some time btw
