No the question was how much would “Shanks and the others” knock out.
Oda consciously put him and Rayleigh on the same level even though no one asked about Rayleigh specifically. He didn’t mention Big Mom or Kaido, he chose to highlight Rayleigh.
And the answer wasn’t a definitive “all 100,000”. It was “may have been capable of knocking out all 100,000”, implying that knocking out all of them would be hard for both of them.
Shanks abd reyleigh are just an example innit.. but even if you consider BM and kaido.. i doubt the answer would change coz oda continues with this..
"In a different setting, you can't really compare just by asking "how many people". Being able to knock an enemy out with haki depends entirely on having an overwhelming power gap between the two. In Luffy's case the point is the number of people that were so weak that they were not even worth him fighting. If there were 100,000 to-some-extent-strong-willed pirates before him, it's possible that he wouldn't even be able to knock out a single one. On a related note, as one's proficiency with haoshoku advances, it's even possible to target a few people in a crowd to NOT knock out"
Oda basically said that in the exact same situation luffy was in Reyleigh and Shanks would have knocked nearly all fodders out.. so he's applying the same condition and case that luffy was in to Shanks and Reyleigh and Luffy's case was to knock all the fodders not worth sweating over.. and Oda consequently says that depending on your proficiency with the technique you'd be able to avoid knocking other people that don't want to knock.. so why am i saying this is coz you don't see fodders stumbling over getting their shit together like some Captains did in marine ford when luffy first used that ability..where Coc affected anyone and everyone not just fodders.. and even the admirals.. so it wasn't focused on a specific group of people that weren't worth fighting thats also why you see the rest of the fodders confused as to WTF DID THIS DOOD DOO in FMI.. coz they weren't targeted by it (as in luffy's intention was to target people not worth fighting) .. but in Marineford you had Sengoku and Admirals literally sweating over tf just happened
so oda separates this case from another case where everyone considerably Lower in power would be a target whether or not they are worth fighting or not..and would eventually submit to the power and knock emselves out
so from how i interpret it is Shanks and Reyleigh in the same case with that specific Coc influence over the 100k fodders would knock nearly all of them coz almost none of them are worth lifting a finger against (basically not worth fighting since oda applies luffy's case to shanks snd reyleigh.. so the intention is to know fodder among fodders lol or not worth fighting)
And this may differ with intention if they (Reyleigh and Shanks) wanted hordy to piss his pants they may have to up their Coc play to knock complete 100k whilst influencing hordy and showing him the difference in strength and make him grovel
In another instance involving luffy... in Udon when he used Coc.. he wanted to wipe out the arena in a match... and he chose to knock the one in the arena and not the audience... even tho they were fodder but arguably. more strong willed than Fishmen in FMI.. and you have another example also in Udon where Hyogoro questions luffy's intentions against Kaido but there were henchmen eavesdropping in their convo and he knows all of em with one show to gradually go unconscious....

No. According to Oda, either Shanks or Rayleigh would've knocked out all 100.000 fishmen. That's all.
No he's actually right unless its translation mistake.." MAY HAVE BEEN" in the statement he makes.. is indicating not all of them would have been knocked.. prolly you know groveled but knocked..
so the specificity.. the influence potency one decides over another with intention.. should be taken into consideration
So by my interpretation.. Reyleigh snd Shanks sre leagues ahead of luffy but you can't differ their skill level at it.. coz the case of Coc influence was limited to people not worth fighting so not really something that would depict the extent of power they posses
but by portrayal Shank's should posses the power strength that over Reyleigh's caliber.
