Shanks seems to be a very well informed person, I bet he knows the things that the world government tries to keep hidden and why they hide them, even somethings that the world government dosen't know. I think he was there on Raftel with Roger and crew and knows the secrets that lie there, which may give us a clue as to what One Piece is, why is it that non of Roger's crew succeeded him as pirate king, and that the vast majority of them were content to just disappear into obscurity? This leads me to think that One piece is something profound, way more than maretieal treasures, and Shanks knows it, which is why he was in the East Blue in the first place. I t was no mere coincidence that Shanks met Luffy when he did, and didn't make his wager on the future lightly, he had a pretty good idea of the things to come, rememebr by the time Shanks met Luffy, Shanks had already had his encounter with Black Beard. I bet Shanks know the will of D, and the true history of the world and is playing his part, a role in a vast grand design that is hinted at numerous times through out the story and is unfolding as the story continues. This dude is the truth, a supreme badass in every sensse of the word.
