Roger was basically also shanks master/mentor and not only his captain
Ofc shanks learned roger's style or parts of it
Who can't undestand that simply take:
1) they dont' want to accept that shanks had greater potential than ray wen he was young
2) they don't want to admit that adult shanks is stronger than ray (overall, both swordmanship and haki): the fact that he can use kamusari and ray doesn't is another attestation of that
3) they don't want to accept that shanks is a swordsman
4) they don't want to accept that mihawk > shanks
Basically, agenda vs agenda vs agenda
How does Rayleigh never trying Kamusari as a kid..bro is literally older than Roger for fuck sakes, show that Shanks who tried to copy Kamusari as a kid, show Shanks has more potential than Rayleigh?
We have seen Shanks in his prime now and he literally looks like a puppy dog compared to Rayleigh in terms of aura, hype, portrayal, reputation and literally every metric possible.
People respect Rayleigh more than Shanks
They fear Rayleigh more than Shanks
They admire Rayleigh more than Shanks
Rayleigh played bigger role in Luffys journey towards Pirate King than Shanks
He was Luffys teacher not Shanks
In real world standards Rayleigh feels like Kareem Abdul Jabar at the very worse while Shanks is struggling to he even Clay Thompson
If Shanks had great potential than Rayleigh than why does he need celestial dragon backing and one of the strongest crew to be a mere Yonko while Rayleighs presence is making Yonkou fear God.
I am talking 82 Year Old Arthritis Asthma and every other physical deficiency having Rayleigh.
This is as good as Shanks will ever get
He will never be bigger than this
And in his very prime he doesn't excuse same aura Rayleigh does in his 80s.
Blackbeard was literally mocking Shanks in front of his crew. Much weaker blackbeard with a few fodders and a decent at best fighter Shiryu.
Shanks has been portrayed as a complete jobber compared to Rayleigh entire manga.
Where is that potential lmao?
Shanks won't even get the learn truth of void century ffs
Forget potential of one arm snitch

No one in the crew can do that
He never said that you absolute unevolved ape.
He said some Roger Pirates like shanks, probably young fodders tried and shanks was the only one to successfully do it.
Why would Rayleigh try?
