Thanks, I told in the beginning that I won't elaborate in the past events, so you have to presume, I never said Rayleigh reached Raftel he might have joined the party later. As for Akainu being afraid of Shanks. that's not the case, they retreated as they were out matched in military might, you have to remember Red Hair pirates are a Yonko crew roughly equal in power with the Whitebeard crew, so it will take more than what forces the marines had there to fight them and then capture the Straw Hats. And I intend to show why the Gorosei boasted :) My want to show it like this, normally the WG deals with every problem the Gorosei does not fight but they are in a different level.
