¨Shanks is 39, he would have been an infant during the God Valley Incident.
We know that Garp does not like to talk about the God Valley Incident. What if part of the reason was that he discovered Shanks there? He killed Rocks alongside Roger, and the two of them then find infant Shanks on Xebec’s ship.
Knowing that the World Government would not accept a child of Rocks D. Xebec into the world, Garp knew that only choice was to either leave him to die or let Roger take him with his crew. This is how Shanks came onto Roger’s ship to be an apprentice.
Another important piece: This would further solidify why Roger entrusted Ace to Garp. Because of the God Valley Incident and Shanks, Roger knew that Garp would not allow a child of a pirate to be imprisoned/killed by the World Government.
According to Sengoku, the Rocks Pirates members were very violent and would kill friends and foes alike, and their lack of camaraderie caused crewmembers to kill each other constantly even while at sea.
Here Whitebeard mentions about someone who injured him in the past.
While it could be Roger, Shanks and Roger look nothing alike and Whitebeard was too close to Roger to mention him as ‘that guy’.
To bring together such a rowdy bunch, Rocks D. Xebec had to rule with an iron fist. He might have gathered his crew in the first place based on his might alone. Submit willingly, or get broken and then join. Something later emulated by his apprentice Kaido.
I think Rocks D. Xebec was the guy Whitebeard was talking about. That means Shanks is his son. Which is why Shanks is wary of Blackbeard, who wants to fulfill his idol Rocks D. Xebec’s dream.¨
plus the only time we hear someone bring up their scar aching in regards to someone its someone they hate like with shanks scar from BB or luffys scar from akainu.
also blackbeard is the evil counterpart to luffy luffy inherited rogers will and developed a brotherly relationship with rogers son. it fits for bb the inheritor of rocks d. xebecs will to have an antagonistic relationship with rocks. d. xebecs son rogers son and xebecs son were both brought on the crews of people who fought their dads ( though roger and whitebeard had an amicable relationship while xebec and roger didnt ) and saw them as their father figures ( it was outright stated that roger had held a baby before momo when it was commented that holding momo took him back)

this would mean that all 4 yonkos at the start of the series had a connection to xebec 3 ( kaido , big mom , whitebeard) were on his crew 1 was his child
also blackbeard is set up as luffys evil counterpart/rival they were compared when they first met.
luffy inherited rogers will despite not being bloodrelated its fitting if blackbeard inherited xebecs will despite not being related to him by blood
and luffy developed a close relationship with ace the true son of roger who hated his father and was on the ship of his fathers rival whitebeard who he had seen as a father
so blackbeard being enemies with shanks the biological son of xebec whose will bb inherited and was on the ship of xebecs enemy roger and likely seen roger as a father is completely fitting

shanks alludes to tyr the norse god of justice ( heck shanks getting his hand bitten off is similar to how tyr got his hand bitten off )which is why I along with other reasons think shanks will be at elbaf
(and tyr ended up being killed by garm a hellhound who is said to be the guardian of the underworld the norse equivalent to cerberus the hellhound with three heads and blackbeards pirate flag has 3 heads
it is often said that the D is the enemy of god so it fits that shanks the good celestial dragon confronts the evil member of the D clan ( a flip on how it usually goes )
I mean blackbeard is the evil counterpart to luffy and luffys final opponents will be the world government/ celestial draons who call themselves gods so it would fit for blackbeard to face a good celestial dragon
that would be shanks
)
if there were children there at god valley it would add to why roger and garp stepped in for children were in danger
: This would further solidify why Roger entrusted Ace to Garp. because while garp hates CD he didnt want the children to die
it was outright stated that roger had held a baby before momo when it was commented by rayleigh that holding momo reminded him of the good old days so imagine if xebec succeeded in killing a few celestial dragons including shanks parents which led roger to take shanks who would be 1 years old
( what if gods valley was in west blue )
