General & Others If Shanks is a gorosei snitch....

[Iam25]

1. Why doesn't he report Rayleigh to the WG and tell him about Luffy? Rayleigh would then train Luffy to be strong enough to fight in the NW.
2. Why did he save Luffys life? Multiple times.
3. Why did he interfere with Kaido trying to kill Whitebeard? Hence making sure Whitebeard at least stood a chance at rescuing Ace.
4. Why did he try to stop Ace from encountering BB? Ace had massive potential and was a D. Even without knowing who he really was it was clear WB was setting him up as a successor.
5. Why did the gorosei try to stop him and WB from meeting and sent an entire fleet to block it?
6. What was his actual motivation for stopping marineford? The marines would have eventually stomped BB and WBP.

Shanks is deceiving Gorosei instead of being their snitch. Imo.

who knows he is a snitch among snitch

All of that was to not appear as a snitch...absolute professional snitch.

Shanks is just using the trust the Gorousei have in him for his own convenience; He's not just getting used by the Gorousei.

To be more precise, the impression I have is that Shanks is a pacifist, who tries to keep a diplomatic relationship with different powers at the same time trying to do what he can to prevent as much as possible any war between them.

 

[Iam25]

Yeah I assume he himself is playing the gorosei.

Dude sacrificed an arm for Luffy, yet dudes argue he is a bad guy lol

I'm hoping Oda can pull off Shanks being the most "evil" character... Imagine the impact to the readers, from being one of the most well-loved character to the most hated one (even worse than BB)...

 

[Iam25]

Even then it makes sense.

Spandam was able to manipulate the gorosei.

The gorosei only LOOK competent. They are people who became powerful politicians through bloodlines rather than intellect

Akainu will kill the Gorosei post Wano events, relax

Most likely

Also he probably didn't even talk about Luffy when he mentioned that thing

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Maybe he didnt even snitch. Oda just want us to think that

 

[cleanmrpostman]

For 1 and 2 it could just be timing, he needed Luffy alive and developing. 3 and 4 could be that he foresaw Marineford war and didn't want a battle of that scale taking place for whatever reason, which is why he stopped it before it went further. 5 could be that they didn't fully trust him, or they were just posturing to keep their image up. 6 idk

This is something I can agree with. Shanks definitely seems like the kind of character who knows more than he's letting on. Dude probably has a plan and one of the steps is probably to get the gorosei to trust him, until they outlive their use, anyways.

 

[Sasaki Kojirō]

Crazy that Shanks momentarily during MF became akainu's boss when he said that EVERYONE would do what he said.

i think Shanks will end being "chaotic good" by the end of the day.It think his crew behaves in a similar matter to the straw hats.

I think when he portrayed the WG already aware of Luffy's DF potential since ages he presumably wanted to tell us that Shanks didn't talk about him like I posited long ago, maybe it was Teach to constitute the main driver of his discussion. 🤔🤔

 

[ShinichiMugi]

That would be a great twist. Altough why should he do that? Because they didnt tell him about Imu's existence? Would Akainu then talk with Imu and obey to him?

Its possible!

Cuz thats the only way Oda makes Akainu look like an antagonist that deservers to be one of Luffy's final opponents. He needs something like that, not to be treated like this by the WG:

If Wano ends, and Akainu eats all the bs from the Gorosei again, then he is just a WG dog, and all his babbling about "ending with the piracy", "absolute justice" and "The Navy has never been so strong with Akainu as the F.A" will mean shit, he needs to do something eventually, and i think that would be the perfect moment.

This would be a great opportunity to give Akainu such great ambition that would justify him getting CoC, if Oda wants him to have it in order to be an antagonist to Luffy of course.

Shanks is clearly manipulating the Gorosei.

He looks smart enough to

Yes i agree but Oda has to give him a reason to do that
