But Angel-swan, WB was the strongest man in the world, it was confirmed. I think he being a df user made him weak against BB and also the fact that he was near dead and BB had help, as for Shanks as his power seems to come from haki BB had no advantage over him and also when they faced off at Marineford, BB was already somewhat damaged from WB and Sengoku but Shanks was freash and backed by his crew so BB retreated. Moreover BB had nothing to gain from the fight unlike the time what WB. What do you think?
