User blog comment:Stone Roger/Can Shanks defeat BB or not?/@comment-3107327-20110212043450

Black Beard left when Shanks came by, so it could be that Black Beard is afraid of him... BUT! Black Beard also gave Shanks his three scars on his eye without any surprise attacks or anything, so its an open coin toss.

but i think that overall... Luffy will defeat Black Beard, and will eventually have to fight Shanks for one piece or to prove that he's really the pirate king
