I guess it's really happening 😭😭😭😭

Oda likes Luffy the most out of all Straw Hats as he has often said in interviews that he feels worried when Luffy might not be number one on popularity polls.

Apart from that, it's all headcanon.

One Piece 1197 Spoilers are coming in a bit.

Unlike last chapter there are other character panels in this one also there is a lot of talking between Sanji & Killingham as Killingham is still in denial.

Sanji unlocks advance CoC in this chapter along with other kind of Haki.

Sanji is going 10/10 this chapter and acknowledges Zoro's strength as well.

Hint 1 & 2:

Here is official preview:

Japanese:

エルバフに危機迫る!! 麦わらの一味の命運は!?

Romaji:

Erubafu ni kiki semaru!! Mugiwara no ichimi no meiun wa!?

If you look at all of Shanks' encounters, bro has always been involved with some of the strongest characters in One Piece.

1. Early in One Piece, we saw him clash with Whitebeard, and their clash split the sky. Whitebeard was literally the World's Strongest Man at that time.

2. During Marineford, we learned that Shanks stopped Kaido from going there. We don't know exactly what happened between them, but Shanks managed to stop him. Kaido was known as the World's Strongest Creature.

3. Shanks managed to capture and chain up Loki. Maybe his crew helped him, but still, Loki isn't someone you can just capture that easily.

4. He stopped Greenbull from a distance using his haki alone. Greenbull is literally a Marine Admiral, and Shanks was able to make him back off without even being near him.

5. He literally one-shotted Kid and Killer in a single attack. Kid didn't even get a chance to fight back.

6. Then there's Mihawk. These two have dueled multiple times, and neither has been confirmed as the winner of their duels. Mihawk is literally the World's Strongest Swordsman.

It's crazy how Shanks keeps getting involved with characters who are considered some of the strongest in the series.

So, do you think current Shanks is the strongest pirate alive? And do you think he's surpassed Roger?
