Character Discussion Shanks lore is illogical

[Peepooman]

A man who got his hand bit off by a sea king, who was zero diffed by Orange Town Luffy, signed a deep sea pact and was this on the rise badass?

What even went through Oda's head when he was scaling Shanks in the beggining? At least make the sea king this mythical creature who is op not a meme character that gets instantly defeated right after the flashback

Shanks was pushed - for an unknown reason - to get the rank and mark of God Steel. As a pirate, Shanks probably hated this mark.

So Shanks probably used Luffy's impending death as a tool to imprint Luffy and to get the mark off of him.

As long that you will think in term of powerscaling. You won't get the Lore of One Piece's character. Try to look at characters like humans with feelings and desires. You will see that there are many reasons that Oda keeps subtly in the shadows for them to act the way they act.
