Currently, the Four Emperors consist of Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, and the man who has replaced Whitebeard after his death during the Paramount War, Blackbeard.
It is revealed that due to Luffy's newfound command over the Straw Hat Grand Fleet as well as his perceived masterminding of the invasion of Totto Land, he is now considered to be the Fifth Emperor of the Sea.
Following this, he was declared the 5th Emperor of the Sea, however, Luffy was never truly recognized by his peers. As such, his defeating Kaido and finally rising to the position of a Yonko is quite significant. This time, Luffy is globally recognized as one of the Yonko.
Being a Yonko, Shanks is easily in the upper echelon of the most powerful characters in the series. This is a well known fact, even though he has yet to be shown in a prolonged battle, and he's never been seen going all out yet.
Save this answer. Show activity on this post. One answer can also be that the World Government considers all D's as the enemy of world government or just the fact that luffy is the son of Dragon is enough reason to not to make luffy their ally by making him a Warlord.
Against Shanks, even if Luffy possesses weaker Haki, the Devil Fruit abilities of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika can make up for the deficit and see him emerge victorious. Currently, however, Shanks is likely stronger than Luffy, simply due to the fact that the plot demands that of him.
He said that he wanted to speak to them about a certain pirate. Who that pirate is wasn't explicitly mentioned, though it is likely one of two pirates.
Shanks is a powerful pirate, however, he didn't want to follow in Gol D. Roger's steps and become the Pirate King. Shanks is one of the most important characters in One Piece although his screen time in the story would suggest otherwise.

One of the Whole Cake Island arc's greatest contributions to One Piece at large was Luffy's new bounty and title. With a bounty of 1.5 billion Beri, Luffy was being hailed as the Fifth Emperor of the Sea.
It is blatantly stated in his introduction that Kaido is the strongest in the world. He is, without a doubt, stronger than Shanks……. On a 1v1, that is. The reason why Shanks is still a bit more feared is because he has a more powerful crew.
Monkey D. Luffy infiltrated Navyford to ring this bell. He rang it the traditional sixteen times. The Navy took it as a sign of war, and Killer of the Kid Pirates interpreted the meaning of it as the end of one era and the beginning of another.
In Episode 897 of the series, Luffy's Haki sense has him find the Kitetsu II hanging on Hitetsu's wall. While he takes it nonchalantly and prepares to head out, Hitetsu warns him that it's a "sin" to handle such a well known sword so casually.
"Red-Haired" Shanks, commonly known as just "Red Hair", is the chief of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors that rule over the New World.
Usopp remains to be the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates. In Wano, the vast majority of the members of the Straw Hat crew received good power-ups. However, Usopp was one of the members who did not receive any power-up and thus is lagging behind.
Shanks' scar caused by Blackbeard because he's mistaking the gomu no mi with yami no mi which Blackbeard been searching for decades.
