So this is a topic I've been thinking about for quite some time.
Shanks, obviously, hates blackbeard. Shanks would likely stop at nothing to kill blackbeard. Hence, with blackbeard having two broken DFs, why doesn't shanks eat a DF of his own and give his crew DFs in order to even out the odds and possibly get the edge over the blackbeard pirates?
Is there something about DFs that we don't know about to where Shanks is utterly opposed to eating one? Another thing would be this, why couldn't shanks eat a DF, if only just to regain his arm back.
I don't care how strong 1 armed shanks is, 2 arms is always better than 1. Even if he can use a sword just fine with one arm, a second arm would allow him to possibly duel wield(as we saw Rayleigh do in the Oden flashback) or possibly even use a gun alongside his sword(like he does in some of the one piece video games).
Shanks is one of the most powerful men in one piece. With his connections to the gorosei as well as his shear influence in the new world, he could easily get his hands on almost any DF he chose to. So why doesn't shanks eat one?
Blackbeard is essentially like Xebec, but more dangerous. He wants to rule the world and I'm sure that shanks wants to stop him. If Blackbeard gained even more power, like if he for example ate a 3rd DF, I feel as if Shanks would have no other choice but to eat a DF in order to hope to rival him.
as for what DF he could eat, there are several options
I like the idea of him eating the sara sara no mi model axolotl in order to regain his arm(axolotls can regenerate limbs). This would not only preserve his fighting style but actually enhance it. Like I said, two arms are better than one.
another option would be, and I know some of you might not like this, the mera mera no mi. Oda has said in an interview that sabo will be in trouble next year in the manga. If sabo were to die, Shanks would be the best inheritor for the mera mera no mi.
The reason for this is that the mera mera no mi has been portrayed as the fruit which counters the will of the yami yami no mi. It is the light that counters the darkness(figuratively that is. In terms of actual superiority, the yami yami is obviously stronger). Ace obviously took on blackbeard and lost. Sabo has a rivalry with the blackbeard pirates, with him fighting burgess in Dressrosa; something that eventually led to blackbeard invading baltigo.
Given as Shanks has always sought to counter blackbeard, it would be symbolically perfect for him to be the final inheritor of the fruit. it also helps that he met ace and served under Ace's father for many years.
anyways what are your thoughts. Why doesn't shanks eat a DF? Could shanks eat a DF in the future? And if so, what power would he eat?
