You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

Also, I love that Shanks is the one to recover the straw hat. I wonder if he's going to hold onto it until the next time him and Luffy meet again.

I wonder why exactly the "few seconds" are so important, maybe because they saved Luffy, and Shanks is still betting the New Age on him?
To add to the previous conversation: my pants are also stained white. It is great to see Shanks show up - not to mention he looks absolutely badass along with Beckman. It's great that Oda had him make an appearance after two prominent characters died, rather than before (as to stop the deaths from happening).
I think, for now, Shanks will make the Marine's realize that rather than wasting half their forces on chasing fleeing pirates they need to focus on BlackBeard considering he's destroying the whole damn island. I don't think we'll see much fighting from him, but I sure hope he lays the beat-down on Akainu, or even kills hims (though this is doubtful).
Shanks probably sees that - to a point - the Marines are needed to keep the world safe from malicious, murderous pirates (i.e. BB), so does not want them completely eradicated, especially with BB and his new found power. Shanks will also probably open a few eyes considering a pirate - one of the Yonkou no less - saved a marine that was about to be killed by a high ranking Marine - an Admiral. Shouldn't that be the other way around?
Oh, and I enjoy how arguably for the first time Akainu looks scared (when Shanks stops his attack on the double spread). I guess you could say it is surprise but I think there is some fear in his expression.

We must note that the Tsunami warning had people flee from the monitors not seeing this. And we really haven't seen more monitors on other lands... so the world missed this very big event.
I want to see Buggy's reaction upon Shanks' arrival.
probably along the lines of "you've come too late to stop me, my nemsis. I'll kill you next!"
only this time, he'll mean it.

I never thought i would ever see Kizaru surrendering to someone holding a gun. It's good to know despite all these overpowered beings, guns aren't rendered obsolete.
I think Shanks was simply observing the event and didn't interfere until now.
I wonder if Coby is going to be banished from the marines, now... or maybe he'll leave the marines to pursue his own ideals of "justice."
Despite how easily Shanks strikes fear in all the marines, they're still actively fighting Blackbeard on the other side, whom was supposedly stronger than Shanks even before either of the two devils fruit he now possesses. Then again, I'd like to believe Shanks received those scars as an apprentice on Gold Rogers' ship, rather than as a yonkou.
Hell, maybe Blackbeard will become a yonkou himself after the time skip, since yonkou does imply "4 Emperors," and Whitebeard's death just freed up a slot.
