Glad to see everyone has missed the piont. I want StrawHats vs Red Hair Pirates. Before everybody jumps up and down saying they won't fight, I think they will. Shanks and Luffy may be friends but Shanks has seen the last pirate King, if Luffy think he can be the new one I want Shanks to want to test him to see how good Luffy really is. Plus it opens it up to a brand new kind of battle; one with lethal consequences but still kind of good natured e.g. Luffy vs Shanks, Usopp vs Yasopp, Benn Beckman vs Zoro

With the battle; everything we have seen of Shanks suggests that he is smart, he's Yonko, he stopped the WB war, he essentially instilled most of the Luffy's good pirate values. If he wanted to truly see how good Luffy was, at sea would be the best place to see it. It takes in eveything the captain, the crew, their comparative ships. I think it would be really cool.
