Future Events Shanks will lose to Kid, only the new era matter

Milliseconds before firing his attack. That is a sneak
You would have a point if it was done like Vergo jumping to Law while Law teleported his heart to him, because Law genuinely wasn't focused on him and by the time he noticed him Vergo was already attacking him.
But here Kidd was staring right at Shanks as he flew towards his ship and sliced his railgun apart.

He saw shanks right as he was about to fire off, he was not in a position to even react

I mean is this not a sneak? It’s almost the same thing

 
???

Are we saying Law’s teleportation speed > Shanks?
Bruh
I'm saying they're not comparable
Shanks had to travel a considerable distance in the air while Law just teleported to Doflamingo instantly
I never said Law's teleportation is faster than Shanks in general, but it does take less time than having to jump from the ships and fly towards Kidd.

It doesn't fit into sneak attack criteria per se but yeah Shanks definitely took Kidd by surprise evident from Kidd reactions seeing shanks.


It's clear Kidd while attacking the allies wasn't expecting shanks to pop up right in front of him.

If Shanks speed is faster than Law's teleportation then the travel time is intuitive. Shanks travel time is shorter due to him being faster.

Kid has no way to react just like Doffy couldn't

It doesn't even matter, again Kidd literally notices him as he's flying towards the ship

There's no excuse for Kidd seeing Shanks approaching the ship but not reacting in time. It's simple, he wasn't fast enough to dodge, otherwise it'd look more like this (not quite like it, cause obviously Kidd couldn't block Shanks' attack, but you get the point):
