Short theory:
A lot of people already made the resemblance of the holy knights and the red hair pirates. I agree. Holy knights in history are known for serving God. Shanks has been serving Imu, the current god. But he knew it was a false god. Finding out the truth about Nika he schemed a plan so he could serve the right god. While in his eyes it should have been Ace, Luffy ate the fruit. A slight change of plans, but it worked out fine. Soon there will be a clash between red hairs and strawhats. But it will be a test to see if they are worth it. Shanks's crew will join the Grand fleet and serve the good god, Nika/Luffy
