Just in latest episode of One piece (Episode 736). There was one scene which
shows that Kidd/Hawkins/Apoo alliance are planning to take down Shanks.

So my question is, Why Shanks? I mean there has to be some sort of reason
behind this. Why didn't they choose someone else. What's the main reason
behind this?

Note: I follow Anime rather than Manga

Why Kidd/Hawkins/Apoo alliance are planning to take down Shanks?


The reason why they target him hasn't been revealed yet, so only assumptions
can be made so far. Mine is that they don't have any specific reason to do so
in-universe, as all Emperors seem to be roughly equal in strength (Or if they
aren't, there is nothing yet that can reasonably show us who is stronger and
who is weaker) and their target just happened to be the only Emperor who isn't
antagonistic towards Luffy.

As we can see Blackbeard who killed WhiteBeard and even get his Devil Fruit ,
Kaido who is a known Pirate who have a Devil-Fruit Army and Big Mom who have a
large army and Island under his name. Considering the power of Kid Alliance it
is impossible for them to take down this Emperors unlike Shanks who is a non
Devil Fruit user (as of now) would likely be their target.
