Controversial Who will have an easier route to One Piece Shanks or Luffy?

[Stacks]

Shanks - chill around and drink showing up late in important events and sometimes snitch on other pirates

Luffy - raid all kinds of WG facilities, take down most warlords, face off and defeat yonkous

One Piece is one thing. Laugh Tale is another. One Piece is not at Laugh Tale. Would be too obvious and Roger would have to come back there alone which he probably didn't.

That said Luffy is clearly closer to Laugh Tale(not by distance). He has 3 Poneglyphs already. Shanks clearly doesn't have the ones from Kaido and Big Mom since he was too afraid of claiming One Piece when they were Yonkos and now is going after Kid's Poneglyph.

Shanks may have the one from Zou and may have or know where the last one is. But so far Luffy is ahead.
