🍩next episode!

My man Shanks really walked into a war and said "Stop that right now" and the war listened. because the war was scared

Bro did nothing for 500 eps, stopped a whole ass war and just left, Cha D. Shanks fr

While other shows were using this level of storytelling as their finale, Oda came in and declared it as ‘Just another arc’………Peak Fiction

Shanks is the parent counting to zero. And just like good children, the pirates and Navy stopped their fighting, fearing what happens when he reaches zero.

the admirals, especially Akainu, have seen the insane potential of Luffy to being their Future's number 1 menace, and this was their golden chance to eliminate him while he's still not at his prime and also injured and vulnerable. at first it looks weird why they targeted an injured rookie like that, but as admirals, they could feel his MC energy.

Shanks was saved because his friend buggy d clown was not serious 🤣

For all Luffy has lost... he still has something to hold onto.

Now we know why Sengoku said "Only because it's you" (For Manga readers)

Marine ford > War arc

And here we are 600 chapters later still waiting for shanks to do ANYTHING

>Shanks

“I want to see his power.”

Shanks really pulled up and everyone was like "Yea, were done" 😂😭

A comment I read a long time ago said something like this:

Y'gotta keep in mind, not only is Luffy the son of the most wanted and dangerous man in the world who is in active rebellion against the world nobles, but he's also the sworn brother of the son of Gol D. Roger, has the backing of Shanks, the grandson of the strongest marine in history, was acknowledged and defended by Whitebeard, Whitebeards top commanders then publicly proclaimed that he had great potential, gained their allegiance essentially. Spearheaded the first break in of Impel down and following that with the first mass breakout, attacked Marineford and all that after basically being the cause of the destruction of Enies Lobby (making him the first and only pirate to attack the 3 pillars of the marine world) and having the only known crew capable of reading the poneglyphs. Blackbeard might've been the bigger threat in the moment but everyone in that war knew that Luffy if left to blossom can and will upstage the world

Hands down to Marineford, one of the all times greatest manga/anime arcs 🙇‍♂️

One of the greatest things about this saga is luffy after being op for the majority of east blue and pre alabasta island we suddenly crash into a wall, full speed (sabaody) with heavy examples of already playing over our league (w7 through thriller bark) then throw around like a boy, who goes into a storm being an ant (amazon lily, thriller bark, marineford) just to show the power of an ant can change the storm for a moment and then, he crash worse than before.

Absolutely love how Shanks still is excited to see Luffy, you can tell how much he cares about our rubbery boy.

Shanks walks in. Everyone else: "Alright guys, Dad says it's time to go home."
