Powers & Abilities Shanks, the Admiral Humbler

#1
There seems to be a pattern, which @MarineHQ62 also agrees upon, that Shanks has a high record of humbling admirals.

Akainu:
Started as bloodlusted, saying he "won't forgive the evils of piracy", known to kill civilians to protect the World Government's interests and is even willing to kill Marine Soldiers for wanting to protect Marine Soldier Lives, as his objectives to eliminate "all evil" has priority over all innocent life.

When Shanks arrived however, that same Akainu got humbled pretty hard. Turning pale and sweating, standing frozen in place with his Magma fist charged, while Shanks walked next to him without his blade drawn, in order to pick up the straw hat and label the war as ended.

Ryokugyu:
Same pattern. Bloodlusted, aggressive, fascist admiral that says he is willing to kill thousands of innocent people to force the World Government's supremacy, saying that killing and enslaving people is a natural order. But once Shanks appeared within a radius of dozens of Kilometers, just releasing his anger/ambition, Ryokugyu was in shock and awe, screaming in pain, shaking, sweating, having his eyes blurred out and surrendering with his arms raised into the air

Fujitora & Kizaru in Film Red:
The spoilers suggest, that similar happened to Fujitora and Kizaru. As they felt an outburst of Shanks' Haki, they understood that retreating is the wisest thing to do.

Tbf, his crew are with him
Sure. But the moment Shanks' Haki intercepted him, his crew was irrelevant. It's not like he calmly reacted: "The Red Hair pirates..? I guess it is better to retreat in this case, as I would be at disadvantage".

Instead the guy who screamed that he will kill thousands of innocent people, was shook to the core and left with his arms raised to the air.

To be honest anyone who isn't out of prime, sick and doesn't have his son held hostage will have the same effect on the Admirals. In the Marinford arc/Ace Novel it was established that the Marines knew about Ace being Roger's son but they couldn't do anything because he was part of Whitebeard's crew. They went to war with Whitebeard only, AND ONLY, after Blackbeard brought them Ace as a leverage against Whitebeard. Even prior to the Marinford arc, Blackbeard became a Shichinukai thanks to giving the Marines the leverage they needed to wage war against the man who can easily destroy their tiny island with his powers.

Well, I dont make any conclusions based on what happened between GB and Shanks.
I have seen enough jokes from Oda to know what has weight behind it and what not.
And this thing looks like Doffy's Parasite, worthless empty hype that didnt end up relevant.

He made sure to mention them as a group not Shanks by himself. If he fights and defeats Shanks. He gotta deal with the rest that will finish him off.

Kill thousands of Wano fodders. Not kill thousands of Yonko crew.
