Future Events Shanks and his crew about to look terrible?

[Julius]

Is there any good reasonable explanation for Kidd's crew to be able to even slightly compete with Red Hair's crew for real?

Even if we bring Blackbeard Pirates vs Heart Pirates as a benchmark, we don't even have BB's Top Commanders there... Burgess appeared once to throw a freaking huge mountain at Law and then didn't do anything after that.. So far we probably have the lowest ranked BB Commanders actually fighting Law and his whole crew.

Spoiler

And considering everyone certainly expects more from Shanks than they do from Teach, there is no way Shanks and his crew will come out of this looking good if they don't low diff their opponents, or if most of them end up don't even engaging in the battle (like Beckman and someone else fighting Kidd's whole crew for example)

Spoiler

To be fair Kid vs Shanks could even be more balanced as a battle, because Kid actually showed us he can do things and handle his own.. will give some credit to Killer too.. (still, Shanks has been put in a pedestal for quite a long time).

But even then, his crew vs Kidd's crew shouldn't be nothing more than a neg diff, on paper. The fact Shanks asked help from the Giants makes it even worse

Gig has acoa

They’ll be nerfed by the plot most likely

I find it hard to believe that Shanks, Beckman, and Lucky Roux/Yasopp alone can’t take out Kid and his crew

The Red Hair Fleet + the Giants = overkill

Shanks will most likely ask to have a duel with Kid anyways instead of ganking up on him, seperating him from Blackbeard who has his crews jumping on Law.

That would be reasonable

I hate to put my word on the line because Oda's writing becomes terrible when it comes to characters he wants to hype. For example queen the 'plaque' didn't use one disease when fighting Sanji. But IMO kidd will live having done nothing but superficial hype and next time he sees Luffy he will explain that Shanks is on a different level.

Zoro destroyed the weapon queen used for plagues right??? Unless I’m remembering wrong that was the only way he spread them.
