Shanks acknowledged Luffy the moment he gave him his treasured hat

This and he even said that to Rayleigh.

Shanks has always acknowledged Luffy

 

[Punk Hazard]

I'm pretty sure OP is asking how long until Shanks and meet once Luffy becomes a "great pirate." The question is, what makes a great pirate to Luffy and Shanks?

To be honest, if Ace and Chinjao were considered legends then I'd already class Luffy as a great pirate

It's probably just a case of bumping into eachother once more

Like acknowledge he's a great pirate, idiot

So you are asking when they will meet? Wait a second I will give Oda a phonecall and ask him.
Shanks his opinion about a great pirate can be seen hinted in Romance Dawn.
Someone who stands up for his nakama no matter what. in the beginning luffy was a little naive as could be seen when he was angry when Shanks let himself be humiliated by the bandits..At the time Luffy did not understood what Shanks was doing
Luffy came in a similair situation at Jaya, I think if Shanks was witness to Luffy's actions he would already have considered him a great person.But I'm guesing u are more questioning about the strength departement no?

 

[ahmo]

@ The last: certainly!
Going back to romance dawn,Shanks acknowledged luffys potential to become a great pirate (clearly seeing him as the one capable of filling rogers stead) the "acknowledge" I meant is: capable, strongand worthy of the trust shanks had in him.
The nakama-ish you talked/wrote about, you seriously think that's shanks idea of a great pirate? Dah!!!!!! Even doffy cares for those he deems worthy of being his nakama! Nuff said.

 

[YellowFang]

Shanks already acknowledges him...

Just a matter of time till he officially declares it...

I can be certain that they won't meet yet after Dressrosa. One thing I love to see is the look on everyone's face. Everyone met Luffy will read the newspapers with shock on their faces.
