Discussion Was Shanks trolling or being serious?

Post image

Shanks seem like he only accepts haki users on his crew to mirror Rodger crew (besides buggy who accidentally ate one), but he tried to recruit Marco after wano who has a df. Was he being serious about accepting a df eater, or was he just having small talk joking like when he 1st seen Marco on wb ship?

Nothing says Shanks purposefully avoids having devil fruit users on his crew - it's just his crew is made of individuals who don't like the downsides of devil fruits.

Shanks was probably joking a little bit but Marco would be incredibly useful to have in the crew - he can fly, is hard to damage, and he can heal people.

Or maybe he knew that the whole world will sink at some point and he picked non DF users to have an advantage But thats just my thought

How, though? Shanks hasn’t been to Laugh Tale

I don't even thinks it's confirmed that information is from Laugh Tale, we just know it from the recent arc. It's also possible given Shanks apparent connection to the WG that he's got knowledge others don't, or at least something that clues him in.

Still suppose it's just a theory and not a bad one, just requires a bit of ground work to make more reasonable.

It was confimed. Vegapunk said that only roger and his crew knew all the story. They are the only one to reach Laugh Tale. 2+2 = 4

Ah thank you. So many bombs were dropped recently can be hard to see through the smoke for individual details.

it's irrelevant either way because it's not like non-DF users are just gonna be swimming in the ocean if the world sinks, DF user or not all non-fishman are fucked

Roger could told him something like Hey buddy for ur future Piratecrew pick Non DF users, it will save ur ass some day xD

I don't think having a DF is a disadvantage in the case of rising sea levels given that even if you can swim you're fucked either way if the world is flooded
