This probably yes. If not shanks then dragon but I think dragon may end up fighting warcury. Dragon vs akainu is also a possibility.
Frankly that would just be a very boring direction to take Shanks’s character in, and it seems like Oda is setting up a confrontation between Luffy and Shanks.

Considering he is "Shanks' father" I will say he's important to the narrative. And him being the SUPREME commander of a group I will say he's very powerful. Oda only focused on him, not in the group, unlike the Gorosei, Tobi Roppo or any other faction, Oda protrayed him individual, like the leader, Oda didn't bother to show the rest of the Holy Knight... So he's clearly his own league above them.

Oda also made sure he was the MVP among Celestial Dragon in God Valley at young age, imagine now.
Him beings Papa Shanks is just fan theory it was never proven to be true

When he was younger his only know feats is being the best at hunting weak powerless civilians

He's definitely above the other holy knights but that doesn't mean he's some hot shot super powerful dude

AT BEST HE'S FIRST COMMANDER LEVEL

If he is then I can see him possibly fighting Sabo

Either -- Shanks vs luffy (Not a full on serious fight) -- Shanks vs BB (50/50 that shanks may die) -- Shanks vs Garling ( Final war against WG)

Or -- Shanks vs luffy (Not a full on serious fight) -- Shanks vs Garling ( Final war against WG) -- Shanks vs BB (50/50 that shanks may die)

This is almost as embarrassing as still thinking that the Gorosei are fodder

I just don’t see what would even be the point of writing Garling into existence if his only role in the story is to have a filler fight with Shanks

I mean, imagine how ramdon it would be if we are in Dressrosa arc and then Oda spoils us with some events happening in Wano and Oda decides to show us Page One in a cool pose in the final page. Like what???

If Oda showed him now, he has something good for him.

There is not much garling can do. Gorosei/Admirals/Imu ; the WG are already stacked and the alliance don't have that many top tiers. Luffy/Zoro/Sanji/Sabo/Dragon/Law/Midd/Yamato vs 5 gorosei/Imu/4 admirals.

It makes sense he fights shanks as he is connected to him. Or BB kills him or dragon beats him. He is not that much imp.

I’m assuming you also think Xebec is fodder since he has no feats yet?
Xebec has noriety and hype to back up his strength

Lead a crew that birthed 3 yonko and shiki who imo is on par with admirals

Garp and Roger had to team up to beat him and his crew

Personally I think Garp was the one that finished the fight

But Unlike Garling whose only claim to fame is killing civilians

Xebec was putting in work and was referenced multiple times to be powerful

You are probably top 1 garling downplayer. Not that I mind it :myman:

But Oda didn’t have to write Garling into the story at all, much less build him up as an important character. I think that him fighting Teach would give him an important spot in the narrative. Garling has history with Xebec, who is clearly Teach’s idol. We know that the grand prize of God Valley, which apparently was even more valuable than the Seiryu DF (one of the strongest Mythical Zoans and therefore one of the best DFs in existence), was stolen from Xebec by the CDs. Garling was declared the Champion of God Valley, so he should have won whatever this grand prize was. There’s no hard evidence yet, but it would make a lot of sense imo if this grand prize was a “Moon God” DF, which would be on par with the Nika DF and therefore > the Seiryu. It would explain why this thing was so valuable to both the CDs and Xebec, and further juxtapose Teach as the anti-Luffy, as was clearly laid out in his introduction.

The cope "Gorosei are not fighters" and "Garling isn't a top tier" are the same.

Yeah right Oda just show this guy 3/4 arcs before the final war just because he loved how his hair looks:seriously:
 
#39
If Garling turns out to be that guy I'll write him an apology letter
He can be a fraud but the chance of it being the case is extremely small. Oda is a shanks glazer and garling is related to shanks and most likely his father if not his uncle. High chance he is a top tier. Anyways we shall see.

I never thought about him in depth. Maybe but I will say not to have high expectations. Gorosei are more than likely > garling and BB can get more hype by killing a gorosei than garling.
