Place your bets
Possibly with some reasoning

Is Shanks the son of Garling, meaning that he is born as a Celestial Dragon?
Or it's just Oda making a fool of us knowing the theories?

It will be a long month...

Maybe Roger stole Shanks from him during the God Valley incident,because of some prophecy of Shanks being the one who brings the Dawn or something similar

 

[Garp the Fist]

As with Zoro and the Shimotsuki, he is actually Shanks’ grandfather’s cousin.

Nah, I think he genuinely is Shanks‘ dad. Oda obviously told them to include the Figarland line in Red for a reason.

Roger found Shanks, he didn't stole him

 

[Garp the Fist]

Roger found Shanks, he didn't stole him

That’s fandrawn.

We’ve seen Shanks find Roger in a chest in Red but we don’t know any of the wider circumstances.

Wait that's really fanmade ??

 

[Konstantis]

He is not Shanks father, but he is someone from Shanks family.

 

[Garp the Fist]

Yeah. It’s a really good attempt at Oda’s style but it’s not him.

It is funny that the island after the confrontation still seems to be fine, we know that a confrontation between Kaidou and Big Mom would result in the destruction of Onigashima as it was pointed out, we know that Kaidou has the ability to easily destroy an island, as well as Big Mom who was pointed out having this ability in WCI by Katakuri, however Roger and Garp fought the Rocks pirates and the island still looks pretty good to me, that says a lot about Roger's AP, that must be why he is only someone capable of fighting Waidou.

I think this is the original version

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

I think this is the original version

So looks like it's part of film red material and not fanmade
Maybe it was drawn by another artist ?

 

[Date]

Probably he is.

Wonder if Buggy was also taken by the Roger Pirates as a kid

 

[Paperchampion23]

Yeah. It’s a really good attempt at Oda’s style but it’s not him.

Its based on original drawings in the film red companion book, see @mmd 's post above. I have those 2 books if you need me to take photo proof

^^^^ lol


He is most likely Shanks father.

its an oda sketch from the book

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Same deal with Zoro, parents are dead and Garlind is a distant relative.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Watch Oda make Garlic Garling Shanks's brother.

 

[ThunderSupernova]

If Garling is reeeeeeeeally old he may be the grandfather
As I don't see any particular resemblance between them

Do you have book???
I am not very interested in these books, but I would like to know if he wrote anything interesting about shanks's haki?

Interesting, I could tell Oda hadn’t drawn that one, but I’ve never seen the full storyboard by him that it’s based on.

Most interesting thing is that God’s Valley is still standing, I thought it would have been wiped off the map.
