Sounds like a cop out from him lol. Unless you think he can 1vs20 them. Its obvious that Shanks was the main deterrent, his haki was what made him react so strongly.
It was definitely just bluster so that Aramaki could save some face. Besides, it’s not like Aramaki being way weaker than Shanks is really a mark against him since Crydo and Meme are also way weaker than Shanks

It Is thought. It's precisely that.

It's Oda telling "even though I drew a bad scene for him, don't think he is going away just for Shanks or that he's afraid to take him on individually".
 
There's not much of a difference between the Yonko and the Admirals, tbh, anyone who thinks otherwise has just been brainwashed by powerscaling agendas.
4 Admirals (including the FA) = Four Emperors. It fits perfectly.
Not to say every Admiral beats every Emperor or every Emperor beats every Admiral, but they're still typically on the same level of power. Maybe Primebeard could high diff one of the Admirals though, since he's been differentiated from the other Yonko multiple times, even by Big Mom who herself is an Emperor.

Did Oda write it as a cop out? Yeah
Does that change the fact that it was a horrible situation for him, and he was still willing to engage with the crew in a neutral situation? No.
 
And they woke up in good shape, so it all works out. They were ready, just in time.


Why are we assuming that Shanks sensed the state of every alliance member in Wano when he didn´t even enter the country? Why didnt he just sense Kidd´s status before fighting him? He probably didn´t know for sure/why would he even remember or care about Kidd´s status in specific?

It doesn´t matter anyway. Regardless of his ¨state¨ Kidd was lowkey considering fighting Luffy in Wano and was willing to fight Shanks at Egghead. It obviously doesn´t matter if he had some injuries from beforehand, because that´s not how Oda writes OP.
I mean, even if you want to argue from an in-universe perspective that Shanks couldn’t actually know if the alliance was fully recovered or not, the point still stands that from an out-of-universe perspective, it doesn’t really make sense for Oda to write that dialogue if Shanks was just wrong. You’re pretty much arguing that Oda is lying to to the readers for no good reason. Besides, didn’t Momo also state that they were still recovering?

Admirals, Kaido, and BM are not pushing Shanks to extreme diff bro.

Do you really think Aramaki pushes Akainu to extreme diff? The same dude he’s fanboying over?

You can recover beyond being literally unable to fight is my point, which is pretty clearly the case for the alliance. The SHP like taking their time to relax a bit at the end of every arc, and I guess it´s a pirate thing in general. Arguing that anyone was going after hospital patients is just plain dishonest.

And do you think Oda is lying to the audience by having Shanks say he isn´t going to accuse Aramaki of fighting dirty? Nah, we just need to look at the whole context of the situation instead of focusing on every single throwaway line

That is always blown out of proportion. Aramaki simply said he respects him, and still ignored his orders twice.

I don't see any other charater being underselled for that bar Aramaki. Luffy fanboying over Shanks --> no problem; Loki admiring Rocks --> super; Kaido had a whole lot of models --> ok.
Only for Aramaki seems to be a problem.

Koby fanboys over Luffy yet we know he'll eventually be able to push him to extreme diff too. It's not about fanboying, really.
Also, Big Mom literally lumps Shanks with Kaido casually and then proceeds to say "even Whitebeard" as if to put Whitebeard on a level above both Kaido and Shanks.
Shanks also barely has a bounty above Blackbeard. I don't see why he's meant to be special (in terms of power level) compared to the other Yonko. Nothing in the story suggests it.

My guy, is there even any legitimate argument left for Roger > Shanks? Shanks’s Haki was straight up placed on the same level as Joyboy’s. Roger and Garp needed to team up to extreme diff DR Xebec, who’s Haki was at best on par with Joyboy’s based on the solo skysplit feat. Shanks’s Haki should be at least comparable to DR Xebec’s

Shanks doesn't have control over his Haki to the degree people like Roger or Joyboy do, it was leaking out when he went on Whitebeard's ship. Also..
 
And even if the Big Mom thing isn't a good enough example, there's also Kaido clashing with Shanks and later saying that nobody can defeat him (obviously this includes Shanks) and choosing to still glaze Oden instead of Shanks
Shanks was in Kaido’s top 5, with 4 other people who almost certainly are some of the people who beat Kaido in the past. Shanks also got the better of him at MF
 
What blud is waffling about?
Bounties of the same organisation show the order of the fighters in strength, that's why we have King as someone stronger than Queen who is stronger than Jack based on their bounties scholar.
RA is whole organisation with their members having bounties on their head, and the order of their bounties show their strength from the weakest to the strongest.
You ain't comparing bounties between organisation but between the members of the same organisation to know their order of strength accurately.

I didn't know Mihawk and Aokiji are in the same organisation scholar?
All you have " if " , " would " , " should" .

What's funny is the fact that @PuckTheGreat mentioned in a thread that this translation is wrong and you keep posting it again and again.

All that waffling to just have :

• Fraud Bull struggling against YC 7 Morley :


• Prime Aokiji needing team work to barely stop old Garp :


• Fraud Bull got sonned from miles away by Shanks's CoC and chose to retreat while he was shivering and crying :
モモの助や侍達を追い詰めるもシャンクスの覇気により退散

"Although he cornered Momonosuke and his comrades, he retreated due to Shanks's Haki."


:risitears:
Haven't been following the discussion and not sure what thread you're referring to but TL is not wrong.
That said Garp himself said he's gotten weaker so he's obviously not as strong as he was in his prime.
