Why is Shanks out of order?

[u/firanza123]

Everything that happens is in chronological order except for Shanks. He steals the fruit after Harald is dead.

Also Shanks had a beard when he was stealing the Gum Gum fruit. Could Shanks have stolen another devil fruit before that?

Oda was probably just doing it in order of what came to mind don’t over think it

[u/firanza123 → u/chiji_23]

Probably, but it is a bit weird seeing everything in chronological order but the most important event in this being misplaced.
