Shanks is bending down reaching his hat, he has one arm. Why didn't Akainu just blitz him there when he doesn't have his sword?

Thats not how shounen manga works bruh

Plot armor lol. Shanks couldn’t react to Teach or a Sea King. Akainu would’ve killed him instantly.

 

[Abysmal]

? Shanks is the ultimate hakiman and he was so fast Akainu didn't even see him coming, Shanks would take a shit in front of Akainu and he still wouldnt do shit to him, remember when WB threw the jar and Shanks dodged it in the fraction of a second on his ship lmao.

Ladmiral Fans still running their mouths go back to your cave and pray Teach doesn't neg diff the entire HQ by himself

because Akainu was in awe of Shanks obviously. he also jizzed a little.

Because Shanks is an important figure for world balance and is on good terms witht the Gorosei.

Nope. Shanks literally groomed Luffy to be pirate king, meaning he is an enemy to the gorosei.

Then why does he walk up to them and can talk to them?

Then why does he walk onto them and can talk to them?

Because when the 4th most powerful person in the world wants to talk you listen. Hell, Shiki and Whitebeard were enemies, but we see Whitebeard let Shiki onto his ship and talk

 

[Absolute Justice]

Cause he wanted Luffy, and didn't give a shit about Shanks

Dragons son took more important then Whitebeard and Shanks

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Cuz if I saw another Yonko right in front of me and I'm already badly injured, I would have think twice before attacking him.

This.

Anybody who believes that Shanks > Akainu means also believing that Lord of Coast > Akainu because we all know Lord of Coast no diffed Shanks.

Since it's nonsensical to disrespect Papazuki the current Top 1 like that, this sort of thread shouldn't be made anymore.

 

[The Legend]

If I were a criminal scum and someone from justice or the law etc....
Insulted my mother

I would attack him without thinking but the goroslave knew that if a fish took his arm off and the same fish was one shotted by hakiless and gearless Luffy it wouldn't be a good idea to confront Akainu without taking him by surprise...
He was literally lucky that Akainu wasn't the supreme commander and he had help from the plot because Oda protects him for the movie

 

[Kiiro]

Because Shanks own presence made Akainu have the same treatment that Jozu had from Aokiji. Being freezed.

 

[Iam25]

and you can't even make excuses for akainu because he was clearly bloodlusted at that point. ffs he was going to kill a marine for not being bloodthirsty enouygh

 

[Seraphoenix]

He knew he would die there. Shanks was so disrespectful to him that he turned his back to Akainu, knowing he didn't have the guts to do anything.

 

[qwe]

Akainu failed to kill WB with 2 free shots while WB was having an heart attack , his magma is one of the most overwanked things in fandom

Shanks' ambition is too high.

Jozu (while shaking): "you cannot remain conscious before that man unless you are fully prepared".

[Dark Admiral]

He didn't miss, he just froze.
