Controversial If Asura as said by Kaido is a conquerors Haki attack, why does Haki God King Shanks not just materialize his arm back?

No.

Shanks doesn't care when he has nothing to prove to a nobody, this is like a street fighter challenging an MMA fighter why would they care you're not a threat, however when you point a gun at Shanks prepare to die (seems this part is missed?)

Never said he didn't care about his own life being in danger, point is once his friends are directly in danger, violence is sanctioned on his part.

It was also a lesson to Luffy to show that being a Pirate doesn't mean engaging in senseless violence. Fighting would put Makino, Luffy and co. in danger. So he simply let it slide, and that's exactly what Luffy did against Bellamy.

You also seem to miss the fact that Shanks was going to get violent regardless of a gun being pulled or not, Higuma kidnapped Luffy. As long as a comrade is in danger, violence is sanctioned is the philosophy.

This isn't true, you do realize that they've been travelling with Shanks for over a decade right? Comparing Luffy, Zoro, & Usopp situation doesn't compare when they've been travelling for like 2 - 3 months (in OP time) this is why Zoro checks Luffy and he agrees this isn't pirate games. Yasopp correcting his captain is pulled out of no-where, and backed by nothing.

Has nothing to do with time spent sailing.

It's principle.

Shanks and Luffy were being soft, Yassopp and Zoro corrected them. Actions have nothing to do with length of time. An action done on day one will still have the same principles if done 10 years later if the situation is similar as it is here.

People get corrected and reprimanded at every stage. A correction at 3 months experience is still a correction if done 15 years later.

Yassopp is backed up by the fact that an Emperor's reputation being taken lightly will lead to more invasions of that territory, and result in deaths. Seems you didn't read that part of the story.

Yes. all of this to say Shanks cares about his Yonko/Emperor status cause he has people to protect. You can make fun of Shanks sure, but threatening Shanks and questioning his status and/or strength is a killable offence

Point being he only takes action really when it relates or endangers comrades. His status has nothing to do with himself individualistically, he's not that egotistic, it's about the implications on his comrades. Seems you just misunderstood that nuance.

There is really nothing to debate about:

• We all know Shanks will defend himself from being killed.

Point is outside of defending himself, he doesn't get violent out of ego, but in order to protect others for the most part. Bartolomeo on principle had to be made an example of.

Mihawk insulting shanks is just banter, they are drinking buddies as well, and in general, he wouldn't kill someone over a mere insult. He's not sensitive.

Maybe you need to break down the scene.

• Shanks doesn't fight higuma (because only booze was spilled no one was hurt) <-- You understand this part
• Luffy says he looked weak (Shanks doesn't care there isn't anything to prove to a mountain bandit) <-- You understand this part
• Shanks decides to fight because Luffy is taken (true) however Shanks also states when you point a gun (threaten him) you better use it and prepare to die with your life on the line <-- this part your missing (this is also a parallel between Luffy and Zoro)

* Mihawk calls Zoro weak the first time they meet fighting for only bravado, until Zoro is ready to die for his dream and THREATENING Mihawk he is then called strong.

Shanks will fight if you threaten him -- not a matter of he's about to die so now he'll fight .. NO if you walk up to Shanks threaten him he will fight you, just like Kidd (Shanks was going to fight anyways cause you're on his territory THREATENING him)

This is an outrageous claim, you need to back this up with more details.
Does Shanks question Yassop ??
Does Yasopp say Shanks is wrong ?
Does Shanks refuse to step aside ?
Does Benn Beckman or any other senior crew member say Yassop is right in his thinking and Shanks is incorrect?

Nothing in those panel show Yassop correcting Shanks in any manner ..

Point being he only takes action really when it relates or endangers comrades. His status has nothing to do with himself individualistically, he's not that egotistic, it's about the implications on his comrades. Seems you just misunderstood that nuance.
