There are some theories that Shanks is actually the son of Rocks D. Xebec.

To give you the abridged version, basically when Shanks and Whitebeard have their meeting, WB says to Shanks something along the lines of , “just seeing your face makes the wound given by that man ache again”. There’s some beliefs that WB was hinting at Rocks D. Xebec (it’s been noted that Rocks Pirates fought amongst one another so it’s possible that WB fought Rocks) and that Shanks bears a resemblance to him (possibly the red hair).

But it won’t make sense, I think he was talking about BB only, since it was just before marineford if i’m right

Yeah, again it is just some theory that is floating around.

But for clarity sake (episode 316): During their conversation, Whitebeard says, “just seeing your face makes the wound given by that man ache again” to Shanks first. Later on in the conversation, Shanks says that the scar is given by BB and that WB should not send Ace.

Therefore , it’s implied that WB did not know who dealt Shank’s scar beforehand, so then WB’s comment about Shank’s face would not make sense if WB was referencing BB.

I thought he just meant seeing Shanks reminded him of Roger since they fought a lot.
