“RED HAIRED”
SHANKS

Shanks is one of the biggest mysteries when it comes to pirates and their goals because unlike other pirates he isn’t trying to become the Pirate King or Start a War like Kaido

He just appears to do things that chancourse of evenys in the future and there’s a pattern to this

Shanks and Whitebeard

Shanks warned Whitebeard about Blackbeard and Ace and he ignored the warning
This led to Ace fighting Blackbeard resulting in Whitebeard going to war with the Marines and the death of both Ace and Whitebeard and Blackbeard ending up with the Gura Gura No Mi
And
Shanks had to Stop Kaido from getting to Marineford and Stop the war at Marineford

Shanks already had information about Blackbeards intensions and also knew about the Yami Yami No Mi ( Dark - Dark Fruit ) and its abilities possibly how it can be used to disable other devil fruits like Logias and the ability to take Devil Fruits Abilities and since Blackbeard cant just go and kill Whitebeard to take the Gura Gura No Mi ( Quake Quake - Fruit ) he knew Ace would come seeking revenge for tatch because he ace was his captain in the 2nd Division he used it to capture ace and delivering him to the government it let to the Public Execution of Ace and the Paramount War taking place allowing Blackbeard to take the Gura Gura no mi from a weakened whitebeard


Shanks predicted the events of Marineford

So how was shanks able to get all this knowledge about Blackbeard , Devil Fruits and also about Kaidos plans to go to Marineford?

KAIDO AND SHANKS

It starts to get interesting with Kaido because Kaido is directly involved with the Underworld With his SMILE deal with Donquixote Donflamingo
And Kaido knew about Whitebeard and wanted to go to the war but was somehow intercepted by Shanks and we never heard from kaido again until Punk Hazard Arc
One thing here is guaranteed
SHANKS VS KAIDO NEVER HAPPENED!!


Let me explain
RED HAIRED SHANKS IS THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD
Shanks controlling the the Underworld is how he was always able to stay 10 Steps ahead of everyone else in the entire anime
Shanks has knowledge every devil fruit and dealing in the underworld including the dealings with the World Government meaning he knows what they are planning and what the other Yonkos are planning allowing him change the course of events wether it be for good to for bad
So where does kaido come into this?
Kaido being Stopped in the new world by shanks and him arriving in Marineford within 24 hours is impossible there’s no way that would happen
Shanks used his resources in underworlds and introduced kaido to Doflamingo since he was a broker going under the alias JOKER in the underworld as broker to Create SMILES for Kaido in exchange he doesn’t interfere in the war between Whitebeard and the Marines

We’re in the age of “SMILES”
this call is just after or just before Kaido and Shanks encounter because shanks either arranged this because kaido was purchasing zoan devil fruits via the underworld for his Zoan Army so Shanks arranged this deal to convince Kaido to not interfere because if Shanks had to stop kaido via force he wouldn’t make it to Marineford in time to stop the war
so this wasn’t for the good but this changed the course of events because shanks helped kaido with the Smiles Deal that helped kaido speed up his zoan army to start his war

GOMU GOMU NO MI AND THE WORLD GOVERNMENT

12 years ago Shanks stole a Devil fruit being guarded on Government Ship and it turns out that fruit the government wanted so badly was the Gomu Gomu No Mi was accidentally eaten by luffy
How did shanks know about that Ship?
I believe the world government purchased the Gomu Gomu no mi via the Underworld and Shanks was either involved in the deal or learned about this deal from the underworld and tracked down the ship and Stole the fruit back to try to figure out why they wanted it so badly in the first place
REVERIE

A man with a position like yours isn’t suitable to get involved with politics of the World
The are not talking about his position as a Yonko if so Kaido and Big Mom can also do that but this isn’t about that
Only shanks can request a meeting like this because he has knowledge of the world governments dealings with the underworld and used that information as leverage to request a meeting with the Gorosei

Shanks found out the origin of the “unawakened” Legendary DevilFruit which I believe is the Gomu Gomu No Mi and its previous holder who I believe is Joy Boy who is the “Certain Pirate” shanks is talking about
