Bro, you arent even reading my posts
Ive already talked about Shanks' motives with Luffy. He doesnt have to be a bad person, that also doesnt mean he doesnt need Luffy for something. You are the one painting the argument like Shanks HAS to be evil lol, nobody is saying that.
And i dont get why Shanks ever needs to warn the WG of Blackbeard doing something "drastic" when they publicly destroy entire islands with a buster call. In that case, that would strongly imply he's on their side then, which isnt even what Im saying lol
