Like usual admiral agenda is nothing but lies and cope twerkbull flexed on defeated characters recovering on their bed
On egghead you clowns were screaming for Luffy vs Kizaru instead he spent most of time crying on the floor never had any real fight that is much bigger L. Gorosei were real threat so even in arc dedicated to admiral spotlight is always stolen, when given opportunity they always fail to deliver. Considering everything egghead was quite decent arc for marimo.
Lol, no one gave a shit about the Gorosei on the island. Van Aguar and Devon were fucking laughing at one of them.

The grey area works for me. I don't think Shanks is evil, but I want him to be the kind of guy that'd go against and fight anyone, even if it's Luffy, for his own interests.
I'd say that's a bit too machiavellian for Oda, Shanks should know he's pirate jesus and provide any and all help
He can tease him for a bit, maybe as a test, but nothing too serious

Also, it's ridiculous for Shanks to condemn Greenbulls actions. The alliance had an entire week to rest. They were literally partying. Greenbull did not attack a hospital. Meanwhile Shanks's ally iterally sunk the ship of the Kidd pirates after their captain and vice captain were beaten, and the rest of the crew were begging for mercy and offering poneglyphs. Shanks did not even criticize this. Why? Because he doesn't give a shit about the new generation or Wanos civilians or anything. He was chasing Blackbeard(who is not even as bad as Kaido and Big Mom btw) and then noticed Nika was in trouble. Simple as

No they weren't lol. Like Luffy and Law, they left Wano and were looking for the last poneglyphs. Then they noticed Shanks fleet shot at them
Yeah notice that Kid and Killer were the only ones to attack first? They were going to murder a bunch of people retreating for kicks. So you know what? You reap what you sow.

Typical Oda losing touch with reality when writing the good guys

Well this is my contention. In chapter 1076 Kidd pirates say, ¨Seems the ships along the shore... and the ones lazily shooting at us all belong to pirate crews working for the red hair¨. So they were attacked by Shanks fleet. Shanks says they should either fight or give up their poneglyph. Well, Kidd made the mistake of trying to fight instead of giving it up, however this in and of itself is a bit immoral. If Dragon was in the same situation, I don´t think he would ask for anything, he would just say leave or fight me. But anyway. In 1079, Shanks does one shot Kidd and his vice captain, which is fair enough. But then the fodder in his crew surrender and give up their poneglyphs. Then Shanks doesn´t even say anything as the ship is destroyed by his friends

Sure, I like Shanks and think he is cool, but I dont think hes in any place to pearl clutch. I think he will be an antagonist, not a villain exactly. Shanks will not be happy if Luffy causes trouble and maybe allies with his old enemy Loki for example

Kidd may ally with Shanks to defeat Imu's knights, a big improvement is that he also stopped hurting civillians from what we have seen, he didn't hurt civillians in Wano

Shanks character atm is nothing but a walking asspull.

So I just want Shanks story so he could be more understandable, good or evil.

-Shanks is strong asf
-has strong asf crew dubbed impenetrable
-had the chance to be the WSS
-had the chance to be Nika

You have all the power one can possess, why gamble on a kid?

Couldn't Shanks have done it himself? He's a conqueror right?

@AL sama May we ask why did you gamble on Luffy?

He’s not a D.

He has seen better potential in Luffy, he saw Roger there. Plus he ate the fruit we now know Shanks knows is special apparently.

It's contradicting tbh.

He isn't a D so he's out.
Luffy has better potential and ate the Nika fruit so he's out.

But now he's saying he'll aim for One Piece.

Did he change his mind lol.

:kaidowhat:

It's like Oda is trying too hard to make him look too complex.

What's funnier is that it seems Oda hasn't had enough that he made another Shanks.

Yeah, I agree, I think Oda got tangled up a bit with Shanks. And so it seems like he was aiming for the opportune moment... Which doesn't make him seem good etc.

I think the claim the one piece thing will make sense later

Roger probably didn´t tell Shanks much. Like Buggy doesn´t know much about the OP or why Roger was too early. While he did steal the Nika fruit, this could be because he knew about Nika from celestials or giants. Also, I don´t think the reason why Roger was too early was because of Nika or him not having the will of d. If so, Roger literally lost for not being the chosen one. I´m pretty sure its because one of the ancient weapons wasn´t ready.

Roger told Shanks more than anyone else, or rather that is how it seemed.
