YOHOHOHO! I just had a trolling thought of Luffy accidentally meeting Shanks again, who is now a hermit, dyed his hair black, settled for a simple life, everyday drinking sake!!! That'd be epic trolling, surely will shock the lot of OP fans out there!!! YOHOHOHOHO!!!

Joking aside, I agree, his overall appearance should not change much because he's kinda one of the main icon of OP (seeing how many times he appeared in the anime Openings proves this)
