Who’s his biggest rival current day?

If it needs to match-up between them, Teach and Luffy, Shanks and Buggy (includes Buggy+Mihawk combined).

Its possible that the purpose of Buggy's fake Emperor position and giving Mihawk (former opponent of Shanks) under Buggy's command is creating a new Emperor rival to Shanks. Buggy owned Shanks's opponent Mihawk, so both could combined go against Shanks.

And notice that how Shanks's influence was also the reason in Buggy's rise since the time skip, they always talk about Buggy's relationship with Shanks.

We just see Buggy being mad at Shanks and wants to find One Piece because of him.

-Buggy is after Shanks, because Shanks is ahead of him
-Shanks is after Teach, because Teach is ahead of him
-Teach was after Main character before time skip, and then went after Main character's Wano alliance as well

So it might be like Buggy/Mihawk falls first, Shanks falls second, Teach falls EoS last.

Blackbeard

 

[Malio]

Mihawk is his biggest rival. The other yonko are also his rivals and blackbeard is his nemesis

 

[ConquistadoR]

The person who Yonkou Whitebeard is reminded of, when seeing Shanks.

I think the word "rival" might be defined by both characters having a 'good' relationship with each other while "enemy" is a character who you hate. At least in one piece it seems to work that way.

This makes Buggy the "rival" and Blackbeard the "enemy".

Overall putting aside semantics, it should be Blackbeard.

 

[MarineHQ]

Obviously Teach but this thread is definitely meant to attack Mihawk lol.

Anyways the wound that is still bothering Shanks is the one he got from Teach, that's enough proof.

Dude they ain't even in a competition.
Shanks whole and soul motive is to stop BB. And BB is avoiding him and focusing on his own goals.

They’re both in competition for the one piece

Also they will eventually fight marineford just wasn’t the time yet

Can't you see , shanks is more safe guarding one piece from BB , not trying to take it before him.

I dont know to me it looks like the guy whom Shanks in all his power risked an all out yonko war just to bitch out him to Whitebeard. Teach haunted him since the scar, that's what being a nemesis is all about

Being a Nemesis and being a Rival are two different things in this manga.
Whitebeard was Roger's Rival, not his Nemesis.

Now read the title of the thread.

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Mihawk is rival to shanks.
Blackbeard is literally shanks arch enemy .

They are rivals in pursuit of the pirate throne, childplay with swords is no longer something that satisfies him

 

[Albino 👑]

Shanks wants the one piece just like blackbeard

They were even rivals as kids both being apart of rival crews. Blackbeard even gave shanks his famous scar

Teach is as much of a rival to Shanks in pursuit of the Pirate throne as Luffy is.
Oda is very clear in how he uses terms such as "Rivals" & "Enemies" - try debating with canon sources.
