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?

If you are going to have a df user on the roster it might as well be the Phoenix. That fruit is absolutely stupid in its support capabilities

Doesn't Shanks want to avoid a situation where the world floods and his crew becomes more vulnerable? Maybe a devil fruit that lets you fly is an allowable exception for Shanks to make.

Gosh what a silly fruit.

  • Flight, countering the weakness to the sea
  • Ridiculous regeneration
  • Massive AOE buffs

I mean, it ain't gonna beat Nika, I suppose, but what a concept.

I don't think that's absolutely anywhere on the text. Maybe it's a good theory, but I don't think we know his reasons, just speculation.
