Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1167 Spoilers Discussion

The timeline is kinda messed up now, was Shanks first a pirate then a holy knight then a pirate again or what?
Not really baby Shanks lived with Roger pirates until they found one piece , Roger and Shanks had a talk , what Roger revealed exactly is unknown but he did reveal something major ( or Rayleigh / Gaban did ) that lead to SHanks wanting to track down Nika fruit so he had to spy and work with WG. Once his job was done he returned to being pirate again.
