I doubt he was scared considering he went face-to-face with both Whitebeard and Kaido.

And we learned that Buggy saw him as Roger's successor and the next king. That makes him only the second pirate to get such treatment other than Whitebeard.

Its all related to Joyboy and whatever Roger told Shanks before they split.

He isn't after one piece even now.

Earlier - there was kaido and WB and bM in stalemate condition - a situation when no one can get one piece


With Luffy and BB rising - Two Ds situation is totally changed.


He isn't going after one piece - he will try to stop Blackbeard from getting to laugh tale

:kaidowhat:




Half of last chapter was about Buggy being pissed he only decided to go after it now by defeating Kid. If he "only" trying to stop Blackbeard, then he doesnt even need RPs then. And also, if that was his sole goal, why wait and let him amass power? He could have just stopped him years ago then

Blackbeard is not the center of Shanks' world lmao calm down.

BB - only character to scar Shanks

Shanks went to WB to talk about BB

Challenged BB at MF

Went to wano for BB

And, even against kidd he was preoccupied with thoughts of BB.

Shanks talked more about BB than one piece lol


He will try to stop BB

Original yonkos where in deadlock. Obvious shanks didn't take any risk. Now Luffy is indirectly in his side and buggy is buggy so BB is the only real competitor technically speaking.

This post literally has nothing to do with this scene or what I said. It does not matter that they fight. That does not mean Shanks' goal isnt One Piece

And he's talked more about meeting Luffy than fighting Blackbeard lol, so whats your point?

It's related


Shanks purpose to go after one piece isn't to become PK but to prevent someone like BB from getting to laugh tale.

And, I didn't deny he doesn't want to meet luffy but this doesn't equate to him having desire to beat luffy to become PK

He will fight BB

You are not making any sense, and you avoided my question earlier so Ill ask it again:

If he "needed" to prevent someone like Blackbeard from becoming PK, why wait years and let Blackbeard amass power?

He didnt even fight Blackbeard to get the scar by the time Roger died, so why tell Buggy he's not going after One Piece yet at that point?

Oda still isnt even saying which Pirate Shanks was discussing with the Gorosei, just an FYI. There is misdirect there for a reason.
 
#14
Nah, he's just probably protecting the "gates" from unwanted people, like BB...

Kaido and BM can protect RP well because of their huge armies... And Zou is kinda difficult to pinpoint, nor people are aware that a RP rests there...

Now that he is aware that there are people who hold multiple RP copies and has no huge forces backing up, he knows that it's easier to target them... And he must obtain those first before people like BB can...

Blackbeard was on the run during Pre TS (evident from Ace trying to face him)


Maybe he did try and wasn't able to reach BB - I mean he even went to wano just because he thought BB will appear so we do have evidence that shanks is trying to get his hands on BB.


And, him saying to Buggy he isn't interested in one piece but now he is directly indicates something made him do it - and one possible reason is BB

And what did Blackbeard do to make Shanks decide to go after One Piece specifically after Wano? He was doing nothing of note until he went after Law. Luffy was the one that became a Yonko during this timeframe.

He made a clear judgement to not see him in 1054 after seeing the newspaper, then decided right after to go after One Piece after specifically stating he's targeting his fleet.

I feel like you guys just ignore actual dialogue to fit an agenda.

Cause now is the best time to go after it.
Sounds about right. What kept the Yonko in check between themselves wasn't that none could defeat any of the others but that none could defeat another without the threat of the other two taking advantage.
With Kaido and Linlin gone, the only real threat to Shanks's territory is Blackbeard. Neither Luffy nor Cross Guild are in a position to threaten the islands under Shanks's protection. The One Piece has never been closer for Red Hair.
 
#18
Why is he making his move now?
Shanks was scared of the OG trio Yonko?
He's just one man. No reliable alliance with aligning vision / purpose. Fighting decisively against Kaidou really possibly results in double death. While WB lost his ambition and just wanna play family games. Shanks wont be able to beat BB, let alone overthrow Imu, by trying to buldoze his way around, since the other Emperors will just kill him even after he win against one Emperor.

Now, the condition fits his agenda and strategy. One Emperor is his old friend with Mihawk (also an old friend who will listen to him although tsundere), the other Emperor is his golden pawn quite possibly willing to ally with him, only BB and Imu remain as the two nemesis.

...and yea Cabin Boy Shanks surely was NOT ready for claiming the One Piece when Buggy asked him the question.

Because ShaNks iS probably wAiting fOr LUffy and oNLy bEgin to mOve now as Luffy has finally become Yonko like him.
Shanks could already be PK if he really wanted while Kaido, WB, BM were present
That's what i heard from majority of op fandom from several media
