Damn . Oh well . I am vip but did not know about that . I guess early vip is over <| sep |> We all know that they will all be OTW Milik and that Brazilian goalkeeper that never ever plays for roma anyways <| sep |> Shanks crew is mostly a mystery . The Marineford arc gives a lot of input on how strong they actually are . Looking at his crew , you need to remember that they all prefer not to fight as seen when in the bar with Luffy . When push comes to shove though , they will hands down fight for their family which includes Luffy . At Marineford they put a stop to the fighting . Everyone was tired but the fact that such a small crew stopped all the admirals and had blackbeard retreat his crew was all fresh and ready as well . Beckman is who interests me . He is the same design as Zoro but with a gun instead of a katana . He stopped an admiral from even thinking about attacking Luffy which is nuts . I assume he is on the same level as shanks or close to it . Blackbeard on the other hand has a very powerful crew but where his crew is scary is how well planned they are . They are almost the opposite of shanks crew . If blackbeards crew had a plan in place to beat shanks crew , I think they could pull it off buuutttt shanks crew seems very unpredictable so this may be hard to pull off . If they didn ' t have the plan perfectly executed then Shanks would win easily , even if perfectly executed , because shanks crew tends to avoid fighting , they may not know everything about the crew which could prevent blackbeard from winning . All in all , shanks crew is the stronger crew from my views . I do think blackbeard will eventually beat shanks but not in a fair fight . I think shanks will win the war though as what blackbeard wanted , shanks gave away . I have a theory that the straw hat is somehow a key to One Piece .
