>he doesn't have a designated navigator
He has a navigator.
>his journey hasn't been meaningfully hampered by the lack of one
We don't know that. Shanks is a Yonko. His crew hasn't been revealed to us in details.
>Shank's showcases a super good navigator isn't needed to be successful
You made this up. It's literally a headcanon.
>I don't think it's ever shown he uses a log prose
Because it's a waste of time on something obvious. Blackbeard isn't the main character. We're shown him just enough to advance the story. You literally want madness, where Oda will reveal every character out of a thousand. Everything so that you understand the obvious = Nami is a good navigator.

>so he's at least as good at Nami at navigating
That's not how it works. By the same logic, Buggy should be as strong as Luffy, since he's also a Yonko captain. We don't know what path they've taken. We don't know how many dangers they've faced. But we know the outcome. Law lost almost his entire crew and suffered defeat. And saved only because of the doctor of the other crew.

>Whoa you sure got us away from that whirlpool that a bunch of marines couldn't escape from!
Excellent clowning. Nami rescued the half-dead Merry and her crew from hundreds of whirlpools that sank the entire Marine fleet. All to save Robin, without whom Luffy would never find One Piece. But that's not defeating a boss navigator in a navigator battle in the imaginary situation in your head, I understand. The escape from Enies Lobby was a miracle that was discussed for a long time. Luffy not only attacked one of the three most important points of the Government, but also escaped thanks to Nami. No other crew has ever pulled smthng like this.

>wider marine army to be made of chumps
He showed in the same arc how Buster Call's fleet destroyed an entire island and all the survivors.

>feel lackluster and by extension her ability as a navigator seem mid
Okay bro, whatever you say.
