Im not "ignoring" anything lmao. Its blatantly clear where Shanks wants to meet Luffy, at the end.

He went to stop any threat from allowing that to happen. This doesnt at all change what Im saying to you. This is what you arent understanding
And youre acting like thats how the plot is progressing, when there’s been more progression between a serious fight between Shanks and Blackbeard which will not involve Luffy

WorstGen Forum - Patch Notes (v1.0.4)

  • Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where users would constantly claim "Zoro > Yonko" in unrelated threads. The "Zoro Supremacy" filter has been re-enabled to relocate such discussions to the "Zoro Shrine" subforum.

  • New Feature: "Sanji Defenders" now have a cooldown on their arguments to prevent them from overheating. Excessive usage of "Sanji is the cook, not the fighter" will trigger a 24-hour mute.

  • Balancing: Admirals have been buffed to avoid getting nerfed in every single Yonko vs. Admiral debate. Expect Admirals to now last more than 3 comments before getting downplayed.

  • UI Improvements: Added a "Bait Detection System"—"Green Bull Black Blade" related threads will now come with an automatic troll warning for new users.

  • Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where the "No One Piece Chapters This Week" threads would cause mass despair and derail into random power scaling arguments.

  • Leaderboard Update: "Most Liked Post" now accurately counts "Doflamingo is the best villain" threads, ensuring they stay at the top.

  • Insane Theories Category: A new subforum has been added to collect the wildest theories, including classics like “Luffy is Uranus,” “Enel will marry Nami,” and “Buggy is the true Pirate King.” Any theory with over 10 conspiracy tags will automatically be moved here.

  • Toxicity Management: Introduced the "Full Kaido Mode" toxicity meter. When a thread becomes too toxic (Yonko vs Admiral discourse in unrelated topics, or endless Zoro vs Sanji), participants will be asked to calm down and view pictures of Chopper for at least 5 minutes before posting again.

  • Spam Filter: The "Copium Cloud" system will now gently remind users to stop arguing about "Shanks is stronger than Roger" after 100 posts of repetitive debate. Users will be offered a "Touch Grass" coupon to take a break.

  • ZKK Retirement Plan: The "Zoro Kills Kaido" Club has been retired and replaced with a "Zoro Kills the Plot" Club for those still coping. Members will now receive monthly newsletters on why theories don’t always come true, with soothing lo-fi beats to ease the pain.

  • Tin Foil Hat Badge: Users who post more than 10 insane theories per week will receive the new Tin Foil Hat badge. This includes anyone who still believes Dragon is Imu’s cousin or Usopp will unlock Conqueror’s Haki to defeat Kaido.

  • Thread Auto-lock: Any thread that turns into an endless Mihawk vs Shanks debate after 50 pages will self-destruct and send all users to a "One Piece Trivia Quiz" to test their actual knowledge of the series.

  • Easter Egg: A hidden "Gear 5 Mode" can now be unlocked when a user successfully predicts a major plot twist before spoilers drop. This grants the user temporary immunity from all Mihawk or Sanji hate for 48 hours.

  • Theories Leaderboard: Users who accurately predict a plot twist will be crowned "God of Theories" for the week, along with a custom “I Called It” banner for their profile.

  • Toxicity Report: Threads started with "Not a Theory, But a Fact..." are now auto-flagged for toxicity review. If the thread leads to more than 3 Zoro or Sanji debates, all participants will be locked out for an hour to cool off.

  • Sanji Buffs: In an effort to balance the discourse, all users defending Sanji in Zoro vs Sanji debates will receive a complimentary Raid Suit upon their 100th post, along with an automatic loyalty badge for “Simp King Supporter.”

  • Carrot the Mink Furry Cult Thread: The "Carrot for Straw Hat" thread has officially been classified as a cult and will now have its own subforum. Members may now discuss Carrot’s potential as Pirate Queen without disrupting the natural order of WorstGen. The "Mink Furry Badge" will also be awarded to the top contributors to this movement.

  • Supreme Admin Revelation: It has been revealed that Al-sama is actually Imu-sama, the true Supreme Admin of WorstGen. All users must now address him with the appropriate reverence when reporting bugs or submitting complaints. Failure to do so will result in an immediate Davy Back Fight with a 99.9% loss rate.

Peak fiction.

 
And youre acting like thats how the plot is progressing, when there’s been more progression between a serious fight between Shanks and Blackbeard which will not involve Luffy
Because thats literally how the plot is progressing, Shanks not wanting to meet Luffy until the endgame lol. There is literally nothing supporting Blackbeard and Shanks "need" to encounter each other before this either.

You (and many other people no offense) are being massively hardheaded about this. This can easily just happen all at once on one arc, but you all give yourself major constraints on how expect characters to encounter each other.

The audacity to tell me thats not where the story is going and yet Oda has been beating this in our brains for 2 years already:





But sure sure, Shanks vs Blackbeard is the only EVER highlighted on these pages. Nothing about Shanks wanting One Piece. Nothing about Shanks wanting to meet Luffy. Nothing about Shanks wanting attack Barto. Nothing about the Marines (i.e. Ruokugyuu) wanting to fight RHP. Nothing about Buggy wanting to sneak attack OP behind the other Yonko's back.

Sure buddy, SURE.

Shanks vs Blackbeard is literally the most consistently pushed subplot in the manga. It’s been set up since Water 7 when Shanks specifically met with another yonko to discuss Blackbeard and mentioned that his scar was given to him by Blackbeard and still hurts.

Then we see Shanks making moves in the New World, and what’s the first move we’re fully told about? He shows up outside of Wano expecting Blackbeard to show up. When Blackbeard doesn’t, he continues his hunt and heads to one of the islands following Blackbeard and goes to Elbaf.

You can continue pushing that Shanks vs Blackbeard is only going to happen during some over bloated Battle Royale that has never been odas style before, or you can accept that yes Blackbeard and Shanks will fight in the near future.
