I am not ruling Shanks out. I like him. He is my most favourite character after the SH crew. But i think about what his place would be in a world where luffy is the pirate king. I mean there is no role there for him. He is a powerfull observer but i dont think that he fits in that world. Remeber when Wb was dying and we saw his jolly roger in the wnd and the faces of rogger sengoku garp buggy and shanks came up ? I think that shanks is going to die. I am sorry for saying it but it makes sence to mee.

I predict that BB is gonna go after shanks. I think that despite evrything he is the biggest threat to BB right now and if BB killed shanks it would give luffy that much more of a reason to fight BB. As the series is progressing i think he is being pushed in the spot of the priamry pirate antagonist. So that is my sad prediction.
