shanks was not a nobody when he met luffy in east blue. he was already very well known, hence wb's surprise when he returned without an arm.
and i wouldnt go as far as saying luffy's fruit being special now is a retcon. oda very obviously planned his story out, and with the exception of shanks' arm there isnt much in the story that oda hasnt planned for.
you only have to look at virtually every theory out there about anything that shows oda leaves hints throughout his whole story telling process. some of the hints are completely outrageous by the way, and it only highlights how meticulously well thought out oda's storytelling actually is.
luffy's fruit has been seemingly average until wano and only now are we realising that theres a secret behind it, but i wouldnt go as far as saying its a complete asspull by oda to change luffy's fruit entirely. the fact that he chose rubber for luffy's fruit at the beginning of the story was curious enough that it only makes sense now there was a reason oda chose rubber, instead of literally a billion other possibilities.
Rough Shanks timeline:
24 Years Ago: Watches Rodger's execution
22 Years ago: Begins forming Red head pirates including recruiting Yasopp
??: Fights Blackbeard and gets his scar
12 Years ago: East Blue, Hangs out with Luffy, Defeats Whos Who
6 Years ago: Becomes a Yonko
3-5 Years Ago: Meets Ace
2 Years ago: Ends Marineford War
0 Years Ago: Sneaks into Mariejois

Ya, there is for sure some asspull-ness to it all. Like, in original Romance Dawn I think one of Shank's crew didn't believe or know about devil fruits? And that'd be impossible for a Yonko. Also there is some schennangians because I think they kinda had to justify, what was this Yonko planning to do with the fruit? Like, it HAD to have been a very important fruit if it was just chillin on a yonko's ship?
I hate it, but I don't think it is asspully....but it is a consequence of having to retrofit Shank's international importance into Romance Dawn which was a much smaller world.

I thought there was a recently vivre card that said he became an emperor 13 years ago?

That would be surprising because Brannew in CH 957 calls him, "A six year member of the emperor class." or in another translation, "An emperor for six years."

Ive been seeing that too, how insane does a chapter have to be to warrant that kind of ultra-anti spoiler reaction?
Extremely excited.

Ugh I just read the spoilers. This is really just awful.
|
Why bring that in here, I normally dont care about spoilers but even second hand spoilers here feel pretty fucking-my-enjoyment-and-surprise-over

Huh? You're already talking about the spoilers, posting Twitter posts from the scanlators claiming that they're "amazing". That's second hand spoilers.
|
The problem is the specificity, theres a difference between "Its big dont look," and [REDACTED]

Alright, well if that specific comment was an issue, I edited my post, I recommend you do the same. Also next time don't start talking about spoilers if you don't want to hear/discuss the spoilers.

there were no spoilers, "ITS BIG NEWS" isnt spoilers
|
God I'm gonna have to start avoiding this channel till I read the chapter huh?
