Questions & Mysteries When did Kid's fan become this arrogant?

It's not really arrogance, but a lack of understanding where Oda is going to have to make a choice for whats best on the narrative imo. This goes for any fanbase.
Fundamentally, i just wish "fandoms" in any capacity would understand this fact, because there are 2 basic "rules" that Oda follows with this plot:
1. Luffy defeats the villain of an arc (i dont need to explain why this was a detriment to a certain fandom)
2. Characters with narrative importance are king in this story and are always reserved for major arcs (i.e. people didnt believe Vegapunk or Kuma would get a focused arc/plotline)
If you understand this, then it's VERY easy to understand why neither Blackbeard or Shanks can lose these encounters. Take away the powerscaling logic (which doesnt make much sense since neither Law or Kid beat BM alone...), and just think about the narrative. NOTHING will make Oda have his two most "hyped" competitors for One Piece lose before Luffy encounters them.
They are far too important, far more than Law and Kid in terms of how they impact the plot, to lose and be made irrelevant. Kid of all characters is not surpassing Shanks before Luffy is shown to be.

Stop lumping Teach with Shanks please
Luffy meeting Shanks means he has to give the hat. It's not happening
Narrative is against Shanks not kid.
Narrative says : New Gen/ WorstGen surpassing old ones
The only argument you have is "Shanks is a major character linked to Luffy, no way he doesn't win here "
BTW since when Shanks is the villain of any arc which has Luffy ?
Luffy isn't even there. Elbaf doesn't seem like Shanks territory either since that's just the costal village. Not even the main cities of Elbaf.

Felt that.
Been a lone Lucci army since Egghead started, everyone wanted Luffy to one shot him, make him scared, ZoLo to solo him and Kaku together lmfao
At the end of the day my love for Lucci prevails, I hoped he would team up with Straw Hat and it came true
Goda is good

Ill stop when Oda stops
Orrrr he doesnt. Meeting Shanks doesnt really suggest he has to do shit with it. You act like narrative delivery is 1:1 literal with what happens. Returning the hat isnt some shopping transaction lmao
No its about Luffy surpassing everyone. It frankly does not matter who defeats who before or after, save the fact that BB and Shanks must encounter Luffy. If you think Oda is wasting panels on this (my profile picture for one), then you are sorely mistaken
Shanks is THE major character linked to Luffy. You think Kid of all people is going to wipe all of that away.
And no. Shanks is riddled with mysteries on his motivations, relationships with the WG, Roger, God Valley and now clearly Elbaf.
And Shanks is leaving Elbaf lmao. It was literally stated in the chapter. When Luffy goes there, he wont likely be there.
Im curious, are you going to call Oda a hack when your thought process doesnt pan out...again?

Like i said you have no narrative of Shanks being Luffy's next major villain
Neither him being New Gen pirate
Mysteries...relationships..doesn't matter here
We're talking about the narrative which Oda been writing : NewGen over Old Gen, NewGen fighting among themselves for the throne
The battle isn't about "Shanks is mysterious and kid isn't:
