Why did Shanks allow BB to leave MF alive btw? The marines wouldnt have stopped him if he tried to murder him and he should’ve been much stronger then him at the time lol.
Shanks would’ve beat Blackbeard but it would’ve left him too weak to then fight Sakazuki which means shanks and his crew would’ve died. Blackbeard and Sakazuki understood that whoever moved last would win this war so no one made the first move which ultimately was why they all survived and the war was stalemated
