Questions & Mysteries Is there any single argument for Shanks ending the marineford war that doesn't involve theories or circular logic?

This dude made Sengoku resign he isn’t a Celestial Dragon. If he was a CD Sengoku would still be there

Anyways I think Shanks is super strong and has a stacked Yonko crew that could actually go toe toe with each admiral

omg law, so angry
You're embarrassing yourself. The fact is Shanks stopped the war. He challenged everyone to a fight. They backed down. The marines wanted to parade Whitebeard and Aces head. Shanks said no. Sengoku complied.

In only the most delusional reading can someone conclude that Shanks didn't stand a good chance here. Why would a weaker party be able to dictate every term?

The narrow eyes imply anger and calculation. Sorry. Akainu would have gotten destroyed by Shanks. Its why he tried to kill Koby but not the Shanks

Because people just can't accept Shanks and the WB pirates had a sound chance of winning here.

Not only did Shanks end the war he dictated every term. You can only do that if you are the stronger party period
WB weren't going to fight with shanks

That just makes it worse. It implies Shanks thinks he can take on the marines by imself.


One thing I've noticed. People use Kizaru wanting to stop the Big Mom and Kaido as proof he's on their level. Did Shanks just challenge the marines to get buttfucked?

Oda made it pretty clear why Sengoku declared the War over with Coby's speech. They'd had already won, and anymore fighting would lead to pointless casualties. They just finished fighting one Yonko, and going up against a second one immediately after for no reason than a dick measuring contest would have lead to even more pointless casualties.

The Marines spent two years reinforcing their ranks after fighting against Whitebeard. They probably never would have recovered if they continued that fight, whether they would have won or not.

Except nobody gave a rats ass about Cobys speech and Akainu tried to kill him. Its explicity because Shanks challenged them they backed down. Akainu is the guy who kills marines for not being killing machines. He backed down from Shanks because he would have gotten whooped.

Everyone did considering every major fighter stops and reacts to what Koby is saying

Lol that's precisely why the very next chapter Kizaru and Aokiji tries to kill Luffy again. They weren't going to stop because of Koby, but because Shanks explicity challenges them
Which begs the question why Shanks didn't do anything when Aokiji/Kizaru attacked Luffy despite previously announcing in front of Akainu that he came to stop the war.

Kizaru was about to kill Luffy but stops to listen to Koby

Shanks himself recognizes the importance of Kobys speech

Because Shanks can only take on 2 not 3 admirals at once, did you seriously expect him to bitchslap Kizaru and Aokiji at the same time?

He literally started attacking again next chapter. Do you know why Kizaru stopped fighting when Shanks said not to and not Koby? Because Kizaru is weaker than Shanks.

Oda simply showed to everybody's face that nobody had the guts to fight Shanks. There are also Akainu and BB, who were on a kill streak, suddenly become silent and home sick when Shanks threats the whole battlefield. The only one who saves faces is Mihawk cause he went away before Shanks made his threat (and Oda only cared to show as much). But that goes again many people believes so excuses start to run wild. Now there is also Kaido putting him on the same level as Roger/Xebec/WB but this time I have not seen many denails, that has been instead ignored. Anyway sooner or alter truth will hit like a truck the ones who still doubt.

The speech itself is not the important part, all 3 admirals still wanted to fight. Its the fact that Shanks had the power to back it up.

And none of you are answering the most important question:

Why would a weaker party be able to dictate every term?

Shanks shows up and Kizaru still fights but somehow we're to believe Kizaru stops fighting because of Shanks?

The marines stop fighting as per Kobys word they achieved their goal of killing Ace and Whitebeard and their next goal Luffy had escaped

Why did Akainu back down then if he didn't give a rats ass about Kobys speech and was about to kill him? How is this misread so hard?

In fact akainu stopped for a few seconds like kizaru, does that mean he agreed? No. He tries to kill koby lol
