That is possible. It is also possible that the above comment is correct. Do not forget that they were the first ones to kill someone onscreen showing that the life they live is a dangerous one. Rodger was known to be brutal and merciless to those who angered him and Shanks was a part of his crew. Like Luffy I don't see him killing people casually (especially since Luffy does not see death as much of a punishment), but both of them have no problem injuring or humiliating those who earn their wrath.
