There seems to be a bit of a stereotype in anime (even referenced in one anime) where the stronger the person is, the less intelligent and vice-versa. For instance if a weak, but smart person were to encounter an obstacle, say a maze they would need to use their intelligence to get through it while a strong but stupid person could just run and headbutt their way through the walls. The idea is that those who are strong do not use their brain much because they really don't need to very much. I disagree with that stereotype. Besides, there are situations in which you cannot escape through simple brute force along and obstacles which require a bit of thinking and creativity to get through. Besides, Shanks should have some intelligent people on the crew it would definitely explain how he is able to do so well as a Yonko given his carefree nature and apparent disinterest in building up power as opposed to the other current Yonko. Also Luffy's crew seems to be a parallel of both Shanks and Blackbeard so given that fact, it would make sense for him to have intelligent people on board if Luffy has them.
