Character Discussion Who was Shanks' marine rival before he became a Yonko?

Great pirate era is in its own era. So, Shanks contemporary is akainu,aokiji and kizaru in the marine side. Ohara incident happened 2 years after Roger death and they all vice admiral. After that they become admiral later when shanks grew their crew. Luffy generation of marine is sword guy with tsuru granddaughter,akainu daughter,helmeppo,x drake,coby.

The only rival of Shanks we have seen at Marineford (so Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru, the big marines) is Mihawk since Oda only gave face to him before Shanks sent everybody home. So simply he has no marine rival, same goes for Mihawk most likely (since his rival is Shanks as well)(not everybody can be like Roger who has WB but also Garp).

If I had to try a name I would say Aokiji but that was completely shattered in Marineford when he didn't reply to Shanks challenge. And Smoker is no rival of Luffy, eventually Coby will fill that role.

It died 12 years ago

Imo they are still rivals, agendas aside, otherwise Oda would not have made him encounter Shanks after the Baratie arc in such a way and, more importantly, leave Marineford before Shanks threatened everybody (only Mihawk was given that special treatment there because he is his rival and the only one comparable to Shanks there at that moment)(maybe Garp or Sengoku but that is something for the future).

this one is true

the Marine Hunter was Shanks rival
no need for a Marine rival
not to mention all of those fuckers were much older than Shanks
I believe Mihawk & Shanks Meeting was opposite of Luffy/Zoro
Shanks was Imprisoned by Marines for something stupid similar to Zoro or Rayleigh in Sabaody

Mihawk heard stories about how Strong He is, so He went to find him
He ended up saving him & asked to Fight him afterwards (They were very Young here)
This started their Friendship, Rivalry & also Mihawk's Marine Hunter Epithet
