No, we have never seen the full extent of Shanks' power nor the Red Haired Pirates in general has we haven't gotten a actual fight from them yet. As you saw, it was pretty much foreshadowed that the Red Haired Pirates vs the Blackbeard Pirates is going to happen sometime down the line. It was pretty much confirmed in chapter 957 by Brandnew that Shanks' Commanders have the highest bounties out of any Yonko crew and they have all made a name for themselves and are feared and respected by all the pirates in the New World. Plus it was said that the Red Haired Pirates are the most balanced crew meaning in a scenario where all the Yonko crews would have a war with each other, the Red Haired Pirates would most likely win. Don't read chapter 957 because it has MASSIVE SPOILERS like the bounties of all the Yonko including the bounty of the late Gol D. Roger.

Also, did you hear about Kaido trying to go to Marineford to try and fight Whitebeard himself? He was stopped by Shanks somehow before the Red Haired Pirates arrived at Marineford. Imagine if Kaido wasn't stopped by Shanks and he was at Marineford, everyone would have been ******.

It's funny that we literally know nothing about Shanks' actual abilities and stuff besides Haki but he's playable in like 5 One Piece games.

Crocodile is the character I mentioned the other time that became my favorite character because of Marineford. He's a character that lost his spirits after getting his ass kicked by Whitebeard back in the day. (It's often speculated that Croc may be his biological child but idk how to feel about it), and because of that lack of strong will, he lacks haki abilities, which depend on someone'a willpower, that's why he chose the easy life and retreated back to the easy half of the Grand Line with his warlord priviliges into the one country that benefited his strenght, and then when he got crushed by Luffy, a rookie no more than a month into his adventure, he just settled for letting himself rot in prison. He didn't care about escaping until he saw an opportunity to rematch Whitebeard, his will was lighting back up. Him taunting Whitebeard for letting himself get stabbed just to motivate him to advance into battle is the most passionate we see Croc in the series and after that he halts the execution, he faces Doflamingo, Mihawk and AKAINU (who he would have freaking killed right there had he known Haki LOL) all while being the smug ******* he is, I love him. There is still so much mystery surrounding his character, his full relationship with Whitebeard and Ivankov's secret, that I can't help being so fixated with him, I'm eagerly waiting for his return to the series, next arc, hopefully.

As for Jinbe, who I also love, you'll get to see and appreciate more of him in Fishman island
which is probably one of the weaker arcs because its villain stinks, but it has some pretty good moments and themes
but go and judge it for yourself! It'll only keep going uphill.

Oda said had Buggy trained or joined Shanks' crew instead of starting his own crew, he would be as strong as Shanks. It's ironic because he was the first antagonist in the story Luffy had somewhat of a actual fight with being so weak and all. Roger definitely saw Buggy's potential which is one of the reasons why he had him on his crew along with Shanks.

Tekking101 did a video about what if Buggy joined Shanks instead of started his own crew. I highly recommend watching his channel when you're caught up with the story in the manga. Tekking is hilarious and intelligent.

So wait, you're saying that if Buggy joined Shanks he would be weaker than he currently is?

:facepalm: Stupid me, you're right. Our god Buggy D. Clown-Sama would be extremely nerfed if he was a part of someone else's crew instead of having his own. :4pacman:

I know you ain't caught up with the story yet, but I hope Moria shows up in Wano just we can see him interact with Kaido again like how Crocodile interacted with Whitebeard again at Marineford. I imagine Moria would help Luffy take down Kaido because as much as he hates Luffy, he definitely hates Kaido more as Kaido killed Moria's entire crew. Gear 4th Nightmare Luffy would be a absolute unit of a monster. Though, I don't think Oda is going to go that route. But I hope Moria sees Kaido again.

Crazy thing about Thriller Bark is that it foreshadowed quite a few things about Kaido and Wano. Ryuma the dead samurai Zoro fought was from Wano. Plus it was said he was probably stronger than Mihawk when he was alive.

Yeah it's crazy how Oda plans these things. I think one of my favorite foreshadowings was how they showed Rayleigh all the way back in episode 8 during Buggy's flashback with Shanks.

Only thing I'm a bit iffy about is Sabo (I already know of him and that he's alive). I sort of wish they mentioned him in the Luffy/Ace flashbacks during Marineford.
