Luffy needs to fight Shanks because he needs to beat all four emperors to prove he's really worthy of being the King of the Pirates. He doesn't need to kill Shanks or anything like that, but I think a fight to prove he's worthy of the title and that he's truly now on Shanks' level is an inevitability.

I think there’s just the one island that’s been shown to be under Shanks’ control so far, the one Bartolemew found.

Luffy will see The Big Hat, make his head super big, and have to fight Shanks for the hat because Shanks knows it needs to stay in the freezer in case he wants to wear it later.

CodfishCartographer posted:Luffy needs to fight Shanks because he needs to beat all four emperors to prove he's really worthy of being the King of the Pirates. Yeah that’s what I meant basically. Come to think of it, has Luffy ever actually killed anyone? Usually he just crushes the ambitions of his enemies and leaves them to their fate but I’m not sure if that’s gonna work for Kaido Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Apr 3, 2021 |

The lands that Shanks rules have been kept intentionally vague because they're not part of the Caesar Clown/Doflamingo/Kaido story. We wouldn't have known what turf Big Mom ruled over at this point either if they hadn't taken Sanji. We can assume he also has at least an archipelago of western European style islands, anything else and he wouldn't be considered an emperors . Shank's turf might border or contain Elbaf, which is probably the next stop for Luffy. With 3 glyphs he could find Raftel, but he will probably consider sailing there without the fourth poneglyph to be cheating.

Not quite true, with 3 glyphs he'd be able to find a line that Raftel is on, but there's no gaurantee that works in the Grand Line, especially the New World, anyway. I think technically Shanks might be blocking the path to Laugh Tale regardless, he may or may not be using it for clout but he seems to be the only member of Rogers crew left active with deserved notoriety (Buggy does not count), and he certainly believes in whatever Rogers was doing in terms of finding the right person to reach the island.

Larryb posted:Yeah, from what we know Shanks doesn’t really seem like a bad guy compared to the other emperors (unless he has some dark secret nobody knows about) so I imagine the encounter will be a bit more light than usual. Shanks is a brutal murderer with close ties to the world government

shanks is probably keeping the peace until the right person comes along, so he prefers the WG to someone like blackbeard, but not by a lot

I just can't imagine shanks of all people being a loyalist to the WG. he's at best neutral with them everything we've learned about the WG is antithetical to how shanks wants to live his life on top of everything there's no way Oda made the mentor of our main character secretly evil; this isn't that kind of manga

It would be funny if the country Shanks rules over is just this super chill place where everyone’s content, there’s no hidden dangers under the surface and the emperor is just a beloved guy that took over legitimately and throws regular drinking parties. Either that or it was a shithole ruled by a dictator but drastically improved once Shanks took over. Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Apr 3, 2021 |

Shanks probably only holds territory because it keeps the other 3 Emperor's from succeeding.

i expect that shanks doesn't outright rule over a bunch of territory in the way kaido & big mom do, he probably just has a bunch of islands under his protection in the way that whitebeard did without placing much in the way of demands on them etc

Watching Rogers crew sail around having the adventure of a lifetime is one of the best things this manga has ever done. I didn’t want it to ever end and it makes Oden’s fate sting that much harder to see him go from such happy times to dying so cruelly and leaving his country in the hands of Kaido for two decades

On the other hand, if you come at him with ambitions of taking him down or hurting someone he cares about, he will kill you dead or at least dismember you (see: Kidd). I think Luffy is the only exception to this since Shanks was ready and willing to cut down Ace up until he realized Luffy was his brother.

I think in one of the One Piece novels (about Ace?), they talk about Whitebeard selling captured pirates to bounty hunters. So, who knows?

A lot of pirates have that coming, and a lot of bounty hunters are reasonably ethical people.

oden turning his back on a decaying wano just sincerely doesn't feel fully right. i know he needed to be on the last leg of the voyage but the fact that he saw his retainers in rags, pollution pouring into the air, begging for him back and he still turned his back... idk

He accomplished great things, but also inadvertently left Wano vulnerable for the take-over.

I think Luffy is the only exception to this since Shanks was ready and willing to cut down Ace up until he realized Luffy was his brother. There's a line in the Ace novel that Whitebeard expressly forbid any kind of slave trading or drug dealing in his territories, and one of the subordinates under him was kicked out of the fold for breaking that rule.

In the case of the Orochi of legends it won’t die unless all 8 heads are severed at once. We’ll see if that’s true here though but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he’s down for good now.
