No, that’s Oda’s opinion on Shanks vs the rest of the Yonko. Shanks is just that much stronger than the rest of his competition

Unfortunately for your retarded scaling sense yes, Shanks is that much stronger than BM.
Again, Oda doesn’t care about your opinion. Shanks is being portrayed as a man in his own league, to the point where even his family members stand above characters in their dame groupz
