He was in Rogers crew, did I miss something and the crew break up before Roger went to Raftel. Shanks should remember the path to Raftel and where on the island it is, why hasn't he went and got it yet?

1. Perhaps Shanks doesn't want to be the Pirate King

2. He knows Luffy wants to find One Piece, and as a supporter of Luffy, he leaves it alone

3. There was a period of a few years before Roger was executed, where he secretly disbanded the crew when he found out he was ill and decided to turn himself in. It's possible he hid the One Piece during this time, when Shanks wasn't around him, so he doesn't know.

Basically,
Roger finds out he's ill
Disbands crew
Spends couple years traveling to island(Raftel?) alone where he hides One Piece
Turns himself in
Is executed.

He probably knows. Silvers Rayleigh implied he knew and offered to tell it to SH (or was he only baiting them for testing their reasons and resolve?)

It's probably the last peace of missing history or something like that, not some large diamond to be taken. Probably they need to find all the secrets leading to it and fix the things before revealing it to everyone. And time was not ripe yet for him to do it by himself and that's why Shanks decided to bet on next batch and support the possible candidates. We will see.

Kizaru is a little stronger and would win with high difficulty. This is because Marco was portrayed as very markedly below Akainu in the war and Kizaru is part of the perfect triple symmetry between the original Admirals and should be near equal to Akainu. Oda would never portray a healthy Kizaru together with many other people fighting against an injured Akainu. They are too close in power for that. Thus Akainu > Kizaru > Marco.

Yeah- They couldn't read it probably. It was mentioned that Roger had guessed it's importance more by instinct rather than actually knowing what it was when Robin read one of them ( I think it was sky island arc).


And now it's a versus thread? .. whatever..

Was joking although I dnt think Marco would down right lose the fight as u say kizaru takes it high diff ehh... He didn't show anything against Marco that seem like it could take him out not saying he doesn't have anything ... Just saying the fight can go either way in my opinion..

Also oda doesn't really do that perfect trio thing ur talking about it's obvious that akoiji and akiano seemed to b stronger then kizaru but by a some what non existent (small) margin similar to luffy Zoro and sanji ... The difference between Zoro luffy > sanji is barely there (well at least for Zoro anyway)

Who said he doesn't?

Rayleigh knew where it was and Buggy (the biggest treasure hunter) has shown no interest in One Piece. I think Shanks already knows what it is but isn't interested in it. Shanks is more like a gatekeeper and is guiding this generation of pirates.

no one rlly knows, he said he split up with Buggy and never seen him after Roger's execution thats means him and Buggy must of been part of the crew when Roger went to Raftel because if they weren't Buggy and shanks would of split up earlier since Buggy hates Shanks.

so my guess is SHanks and Buggy know where One piece is

It was never said that Shanks doesn't know where OP is, all that we know is that he never took it

And as far as we know technically everyone knows where raftel is, just follow the log pose from island to island and it is the last island on the GL, the tricky thing is probably getting there which is why Buggy hasn't

Or perhaps Buggy was too scared and weak to go there prior to getting the Impel Down inmates to help him out.

Either:

1. He don't want to go to Raftel.
2. Wasn't part of the crew at that time.
3. He isn't navigator, so even though he was on Raftel, can't remember way to go.

I don't think that he know where Raftel is, many character referr to WB as man closest to One Piece. WB wouldn't be closest if Shanks now where it is.

Those two are the wrong way round. OT: He doesnt seem to be interested in it. He probably knows.

I think you need a necessary strength to break/assemble something in a similar manner as the ice continent for Chinjao but in far larger scale to take the one piece and thus despite knowing where it is, most likely only Roger could access to this with a mystery power. That or one piece isn't a treasure but a compil of adventures that you must complete in order to find it(to reach Raftel), reason why Shanks turned into pirate. I doubt he(or someone like Buggy) doesn't want to find it. But that's if One piece really is a treasure
