unfortunately there is nothing new. Instead there is a gap in research. "Film Red" was, unfortunately, a bit canon to the Manga. Shanks full name was revealed: Fearland Not Rocks D. Shanks --> of course you will say: Ace took the name of his mother Puma D. And even if Shanks was Xebecs son, this is also not a new rumor. I will not give this dude a thumb down, since he made a nice video, but there is nothing what was out there yet... sorry to say that. For the moment I understand very well, why only 1.8k followers. this is a clickbait video... wasted my lifetime.
I like this with the theory that shanks gave Luffy the strawhat as a marker so that the Roger Pirates knew who was the next joyboy to bring the dawn. Thats why Crocus and Rayleigh all helped Luffy along the way.
It also seems that certain remnants of the roger pirates are in strategic places to facilitate luffy. Crocus at reverse mountain, Rayleigh at seabody archipelago, and probly finally shanks on elbaf to give the last information, training, or guidance to the straw hats before their final push to laugh tale and actually confronting the world government
It's probably not just Luffy but anyone shown to be capable of reaching the Grandline and New World, by placing them there they have an information network unofficial to the World Government.
The reason I mention this is because the records on Kid were organized together, and Shank's crew called them Youngsters just like Rayleigh and the Roger pirates did.
Wrong crocus was at the twin capes by reverse mountain long before he joined the Roger pirates. He joined them in order to try and find Brookes crew for laboon when he learned of their fate or so he thought and the Roger crew disbanded he just went back to where he was living before with laboon. It was not set up for him to be there. So it also makes me doubt claims that Rayleigh was waiting for anyone on sabaody. Or shanks purposely waiting on elbaf since that guy is all over the place.
Nope, shanks is just too unique and cool. Thats how his conquerors haki worked on you by making you thinki him as the main character. If i was in op world i would end up to shanks crew too 😆
In the manga and anime it's not mentioned that shanks knew about ace's father before sengoku announced it to the whole world and it makes sense cause roger would't give that information away and as we saw he did it with garp and garp is pretty old too so he could have asked someone of his crew but he didn't cause he wanted his son to live a quiet life without having the burden of his fame on him. In the anime shanks even said that he was shocked about discovering that ace was actually roger's son. Basically there a lot of things that doesn't come together on the Ace part.
It really connects. Now it makes sense what SHANKS did in the marineford. Didn't even fought even if he can. If he is careful with his moves with the GOROSEI.
I mentioned this a while ago. it would explain why shank's cried when Roger came back from Laugh Tale, The crew knew his plan to turn himself in and about Crocus and his incurable disease. Adding on, This also fits the Statement made to Garp regarding Ace. " A child should not be responsible for the sin's of his father/ parents. " If this was said from ROC 's to Roger and Garp at God Valley when Shank's was found in a chest as a newborn, It would then be repeated from Roger to Garp While awaiting execution and so on. My other thought was the "Straw hat" was the original "Joy boy" "straw hat" and a key to Laugh Tale. just a theory feel free to shoot it down.
@@zohaibahmed9738 very well could be used there as well. I know for a fact Roger says it to Garp when he's imprisoned at impel . We heard it again later on by others I just can't remember who... White Beard makes sense and I could definitely see him saying this, as all he as ever wanted was a family and I even believe it has been somewhat of a continuous theme similar to Dawn, Dreams, Will power, subjugation and oppression and then the freedom from that tyranny, etc.etc....
This is a very good theory you also go into the fact about the sword of shanks, it is called gryphon and gryphons were known for protecting treasures and priceless possesions.
I believe none of the Red Hair pirates have fruit powers (that we know of) because being able to swim is such an advantage in the world of One Piece. They can help Luffy get to the final island but wouldn't be as much help if they had fruit powers. Idk it feels like them staying without devil fruit powers is part of something.
16:30 How the hell did I never consider this as a possibility. It would also easily explain why nobody got hurt during that encounter, considering how strong both or their crews are...
This is the most convincing theory ive ever heard im convinced. And if Oda sees these theories and changes it id still stand by this theory everything makes sense.
True, Shanx was found in a chest by Roger & crew, just like Shanxes semi-canon daughter was found years later. but who put him in the chest? his father? Rocks who was going to get his son once he won the battle? The Rocks / Shanks connection is still possible
Shanks words to ryukugoyou gives away most of his intentions, he’s a stumbling block in the way of the world order allowing newer pirates room to rise to another level
Imagine: Xebec and a Celestial Dragon romance story (like Romeo and Juliet). The reason God Valley happened was cause the Celestial Dragons were going to kill his son and wife. Xebec then goes to God Valley to destroy it and save his family with Roger's help, but Roger stops him because of his brutality. Garp was there because he was probably forced to be there as a marine. Making it Xebec v. Roger/Garp. After the battle Roger finds Xebec's son Shanks. Just a theory-theory fruit moment lmao
Now that you mention it, it makes total Sense and my unpopular opinion; I think Luffy will face Blackbeard before Blackbeard can face shanks and Luffy defeating Blackbeard will solidify him as a great pirate and that's when shanks will get the strawhat back. Cause I don't think there's anything big remaining to solidify him in shank's eyes, I don't think the admirals will act at full strength until shit hits the fan

So when Zoro actually came to beg him for training, he became conflicted but ultimately trust that Zoro's path might actually be better. From this perspective, perhaps Mihawk was indeed a step ahead Shanks but somehow, Shanks kept closing the gap after each duel. This kept both of them on a fast growth track and became very famous. With the new life, Shanks probably gained mastery of his abilities based on his experience with Roger and finally became a Yonko. Meanwhile, Mihawk became bored and started seeking others with marines suffering in his hands. They had to make him a warlord for some moments of peace and probably added other warlords later. After this, he became bored again but even worse than before until he stumbled upon Zoro. At that point, with his hawk eye, he knew he finally found his guy!
Thanks @Nature Boy. gave me insights as to what to expect from one piece. 10 years now since I first get to watch/read one piece and it still gives me chill and thrill of carrying on.
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that this video could give you more insight. One of the best things about one piece is theorizing on lore and the world of one piece and where it could go from here
So maybe the strawhat we saw with Im was Xebec's and Xebec was trying to kill Im. Gol and Garp knowing better or that it wasn't yet time stopped him. Im kills Xebec but in order to keep his existence on the d low, gives credit to Garp. Garp reluctantly accepts with a deep disdain for what the Celestial dragons did that night
I have to say.... I was toying around with some sort of Roc's and IMU love story . Had Shank's and there needed to be a scapegoat for the attack and Garp becomes the hero. And Roger is asked by Roc's to take care of his son and raise him as Rog would later ask Garp to do with Ace. I mention it in my comment above that Rog says "remember Garp, a child should not bear the burden of their fathers sins." Or something along those lines. I'm speculating, and guessing Roc's had a similar situation and that's when they found Shank's in a treasure chest on God Valley. Anyway... My point... I think you definitely have a wonderful theory and truthfully in some ways it makes more sense than my dumb one
This is the best Shanks theory: He was told by Roger the Legend of Joy Boy and ONLY with him they truly understand the mistery of The One Piece . But he thought he could still do things by himself with diplomacy of the Gorossei and form a New World with peace and justice for everyone (even the weak). So, he still helped Luffy to find the One Piece once he was the One to eat the Legendary Sun God Nika to later reencarnate Joyboy. Down the line, during the climax of the war between IMU, Blackbeard Pirates, Straw Hat Pirates and Red Hair Pirates, he discoveres that ONLY Luffy Will be able to bring the Dawn of the World. As such, he sacrifices himself to either Blackbeard or Imu to save Luffy and Luffy awakens yet another power yet to be seen that defeats them all. Gets the One Piece and the story ends. You heard it here first
If the story ends after Luffy becomes Pirate King, I'd be pissed. I want to see him help everyone else achieve their dreams too. And not in 1 to 2 episodes as a wrap up.
I think that’s why oda indemnifies with shanks, because he’s the inspirer of so many people and especially kids around the world and I personally think he too is waiting for someone or even many people he inspired to change the world for harmonies sake
I also think during his conversation with whitebeard shanks believed luffy would be the one and white beard thought ace would and as the confrontation with the marines went down whitebeard started to think it was luffy too that’s why his final speech it was luffy highlighted to carry on ace and rogers will
Does this mean Rocks was a Figarland? Shanks was revealed to be a Figarland by the Gorosei in Film Red and Figarland Garling was revealed having the same hair color and face as Shanks in the God Valley flashback.
Hard to say. But it's possible Shanks' mother was from the Figarland side / Celestial dragons while his father was the worlds most notorious pirate at the time
This would also explain why we don’t see much of Shanks in the story. Because the timeline of the story happens to be the time Shanks is waiting for Luffy to reach his prime. Until then he has nothing to do except keep Luffy alive and driven
Funny how buggy has been there periodically throughout luffys journey. Luffy leaves his island and bumps into buggy. Luffy before the grand line bumps into buggy, luffy at the half way point of the grandline is in prison bumps into buggy. Buggy who was shanks close friend. Weird ay.
Minimal details to actually tie this theory together but i think Shanks is joyboy and luffy is technically sun god but not joy boy. 1) god valley baby was shanks 2) tell me joyboy isnt an excellent name for a random baby boy born with a smile of D on his face. Its generic and babies spread joy. In Oda fashion it is simple and directly in your face without you realizing. 3) we know shanks was near wano during the fight, so the drums of liberation that zunesha heard can be explained by this 4) the fact we assume joyboy to be prophesied to open wano (this is a rough estimate but i think many would agree) but yet luffy went through wano and freed the country without opening it, which is a clue he isnt the real joyboy. I think the poneglyphs contain a propeshy/destiny that predict the birth/reincarnation of joyboy as the marker that the prophesy is beginning. So 40 years after the birth of joyboy the world will change or something. Im not developed enough to know what exactly is going to be done with this final joyboy twist but i think Oda is still tricking us even as he is giving out the info dump in this part of the story.
I got a theory about Shank's Devil fruit or power. I think he got an Over Powered one but the downside is that he needs to rest for a long period of time to regenerate or to build up his strength and power back again. This explains why he lost his arms from the seamonster, blackbeard scarring his face, and also he just popped in and out but always never there from important events or fights because during those times he might be resting or doesn't have any strength at all.
Interesting but he didn’t sink during the intro while holding Luffy in the water and shanks is a parallel to roger and roger was confirmed NOT to have a fruit
There are some holes in shanks knowing ace exists and going to the exact island to find him. For one when shanks was staying in fuusha he didn't explore the island they left the island on expeditions. After all we saw ace and luffys past. The island isn't all that huge why would it take shanks years to find ace only to have Luffy accidentally eat the fruit meant for ace. Also how would shanks know Roger asked garp to look after ace and garps go to island for hiding kids with problematic lineage is the goal kingdom/fuusha village? Also the Marines went crazy trying to kill any pregnant woman who might have Rogers kid, how would shanks have guessed oh the mom pulled some shit manage to give birth safely and garp took him away? And that's only assuming shanks somehow knew Rogers goal of making a kid after the crew disbanded worked out. Even if Roger is a fuck boy there are several questions. Did he have more than one kid? Did he find a woman that would take the risk? Could Roger be fertile enough with an incurable disease? Could that unknown disease be passed to a child? So many questions for how shanks would know ace really exists or not and where he would be. Not to mention Roger gave rouge two names in case it was a girl. So Roger telling shanks my son will be the one to complete joyboys task and become the new joyboy couldn't happen because Roger couldn't be sure he'd have a son. I suppose u could say he just said his child but according to what u say in the video Roger seemed to guess he'll have a son and probably name him ace. But that's not the case hence he had two names prepared for his child And garp definitely didn't tell shanks anything. He was pissed he influenced Luffy while he was away for a while. Garp wanted ace and Luffy to be marines. So if garp knew the truth of the world and joyboy, he would know being a marine is the antithesis of that.
Your video is correct and I’ve been saying this for years. You missed that shanks knew Garp went to east blue with Ace. Also that Luffy said the same thing as Roger before eating the fruit. Then Shanks shows luffy the fruit calling it “ his treasure worth $300b berries” agree shanks gave his arm to make luffy grow. But not on purpose. We know that when the user is stressed their future sight doesn’t work as good. Just think your mission from your hero just got kidnapped and you got tricked with a base level move. He was stressed. That’s why when he saves luffy he calm. Now here is the key to back everything up. Shanks other treasure luffy got. The hat but the hat was to let everyone know this is shanks and Rogers apprentice. All old school pirates tied to Roger knew the hat red hair used to wear. This is why when WB meets luffy after hearing that shanks gave up his arm for a new generation. He sees the hat and asks is that red hairs. You know shanks. Right there he found out what he thought to be true. Aces brother is wearing Roger/ shanks hat. He also carries the name of D. Now WB final order after seeing that luffy has conquers haki. He tell his crew “follow straw hat with your life’s” the next final order was to retreat. Then says to himself show me kid. Show me this world Roger talked about. Luffy showed him and everyone else. But for me the marine fort stuff where WB has flash backs just hammers it home that luffy is the one. Rayleigh taking him to ring the bell. The bell is another thing.?????
I think the phrase that he says when Blackbeard caught him on guard was that when shanks had revealed his true intentions to black beard,and also if Blackbeard scared him already why does he keep claiming that he can't take em on
Good theory bro! On watching this, anothet thought crossed my mind as to why he is called Red Haired. "Red Hairing" = "Red Herring" a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting. As you have said, he may be in fact misleading the whole world, especially the Gorosei, by acting as a pacifist/ally, when in fact he is really doing everything to protect Luffy. And the scene with the Gorosei when he mentions about a "certain pirate" would actually be him, intentionally misleading them to look for another pirate, and divert their attention from Luffy, until he was able to awaken the true power of his devil fruit!
with all the new info. i think shanks is a celestial dragons son, probably half and half. and all he told him was that he was gonna turn himself in and to be a great pirate. seems like what he said was very quick and in passing. tho i kinda believe the theory that last poneglyph is on the red band of the hat hahaha i’d like that
I have always wondered. If shanks has such a clear appearance of pacifism and balance, why does he have the highest bounty in the show? Surely a man who is so vital to maintaining peace wouldn't be targeted so heavily. He even cooperates with the gorosei for god sakes, and he has no feats of destruction at all. Bounties are weighed by the threat they pose to the world government. It doesn't make sense that someone who clearly doesn't care about fighting could be the most wanted man in the one piece world.
As Shanks is working with the world elders and maintaining a balance on the seas with the yonkos, it would make sense to manipulate the bounty system to hype Shanks up even more. So making Shanks out to be a bigger threat keeps most lower level pirates in line and his connection to the world government keeps the Marines from actively pursuing him.
Great video! Good job. You should invest in a pop filter for your microphone though. Alternatively change your microphone technique. Your plosives are quite harsh.
Hot take: Luffy is really Rodgers son and Ace is really Dragon’s son. The started the lie in order to protect Luffy just in case if anyone came looking for him. Ain’t no way Shanks gets tasked with a mission to locate the gum gum fruit, steal it from a marine ship and just have it out at the bar just drinking and chillin. Pull up a side by side of Rodger, Dragon, Ace, and Luffy your gonna see what I’m talking about
Based on this theory theory no mi, potential joyboys were rocks, roger, ace and shanks but the common thing to them was they were too early to become the joyboy and was wrong about ace. So Roger and Garp ended up stopping Xebec (a joyboy potential) cause he is not the one who will change the world and Roger inheriting the will of joyboy from Rocks after defeating him, now he thinks that he is the one who can change the world but soon makes him think otherwise after knowing one piece, then Roger told Shanks he wont be the joyboy too but will help Ace who is again not the joyboy until Luffy ate the fruit. Shanks will aid luffy because the will and dream of joyboy inherited too by Rocks and Roger which is both his father and his captain ended up to Luffy. So Luffys success was his father and his captains success so he better help luffy and it is the best treasure a son and loyal crew can give to his fathers. I love your theory man.
You know, the reason rocks' hair is like that, is because he awakened the nika fruit. As tou can remember, when luffy is awakening his fruit during fight with kaido, his hair mels amd gave a figure just like the hair of rocks
I get the feeling shanks got a prediction that he would challenge the future joy boy and lose to him. He's been waiting for him to show up and take him down and fulfill Rogers inherited will and that of the D clan. Even though he got the prediction he is still gonna try his best to defeat Luffy because the future joy boy needs to be strong enough to challenge the world government.
It is pretty unlikely that shanks is rocks son. It has already been stated in the same clip you talked about in film red that shanks is of the figarland family. This is most likely shanks is true last name and if I had to guess was probably a celestial family. It would also explain why the gorosei would even consider meeting with him in the first place.
For the longeat time and still today Shanks has given me a secret villian vibe the way he smiles with his eyes closed I don't know why but I have a feeling we are in for the biggest plot twist we have yet to seen lol
This is an amazing theory and it's starting to all add up because it actually makes sense. I couldn't help myself but to smile in awe and wonder the entire time while watching the video. This is why I'm subscribed and I'm glad I was able to find this gem of a One Piece channel. Nature Boy is Top 1 One Piece creators.
People might call me insane But I've always thought that shanks and dragon are brothers,kids of xebec The biggest reason for this is because 40 year old luffy looks like 40 year old shanks And cuz am a resident believer of dragon being xebec's son
Great Video. Now, make a video about why exactly you think Blackbeard will "kill" Shanks? With full logic, portrayal, facts backup, your opinions, narrative, whatever else you think is needed.
Love this and it has a lot of ways of being true! I'd say use some orchestra instrumentals instead of the music box for a more epic effect and you'd have a potential viral video on your hands
Shanks already seen the one piece but no intent of claiming it since hes not the one who destined to claim it, remember days before when rogers finally reach the laugh tale, since buggy is sick, shanks decided to stay, and shanks said he’ll form a group in the future and hể himself will go there.
This is not even a theory...it's pretty much what it really is.. The only thing i didn't piece is why Shanks cried in his last conversation with Roger.
I’m just having a hard time understand on the arm sacrifice , understanding that oda made the chance because he was told the show was not dramatic enough : but giving up a arm just don’t make much since too me idk
I think Shanks is using Luffy as a pawn to reach his goal. He knows that he can only get the One Piece trough Luffy, but will sacrifice him on that way. I think Shanks crew will be the hidden endboss from the start of the journey. The story will end with Luffy giving back his strawhat to a defeated Shanks laying on the floor after an intense battle. What better way to show that Luffy became a greater pirate, then besting Shanks in battle.
Dude he was taking care of Buggy when he got sick so he didn't see the Laughtale. The point of Shanks being so capable is that he can get to the laughtale when he needs to.
This comment wasn't against your video but I hope that we both see that the reason Shanks is so revered is that he had a quick uprising when he took things more seriously. Now that he is playing chess with Teach, who brings chaos for fun, who is essentially the counter oppossite to Shanks, who brings balance when it is upset, we can see why he is making these moves so harshly. Shanks, who got the records of Kid knew he was violent and gave him a slim chance of survival, is judging the next generation as he is investigsting the odd moves Teach makes. Teach is out there to wreck havoc by gathering power and letting those he gathers run wild, both of them need the ponyglyphs either to collect the ultimate treasure or to not let it fall into the wrong hands even if they're not interested in it, they are interested in the troublemakers after it.
Since you said Kaido already had formed some connection between Joyboy and Luffy, and Shanks encountered Kaido on the way to marineford, who knows if shanks could've told Kaido that he was going to save Joyboy?

Shanks for the theory, Brooo
If this theory is true, then Shanks probably "used" Mihawk to sharpen his blade to ensure quick ascension to the top, so that he can be in the right position at the right time.
Once he found Luffy, that had to take back seat. He basically had to give up the duels just to edge Luffy on to a great start.
And somehow Mihawk picked up on that and in turn also lost interest in fighting Shanks. He started wondering around looking for his own successor. Little did he know that everything was actually tied together. Every time he sees Luffy, the less ordinary he becomes...

From this perspective, perhaps Mihawk was indeed a step ahead Shanks but somehow, Shanks kept closing the gap after each duel. This kept both of them on a fast growth track and became very famous.
With the new life, Shanks probably gained mastery of his abilities based on his experience with Roger and finally became a Yonko.
Meanwhile, Mihawk became bored and started seeking others with marines suffering in his hands. They had to make him a warlord for some moments of peace and probably added other warlords later.
After this, he became bored again but even worse than before until he stumbled upon Zoro. At that point, with his hawk eye, he knew he finally found his guy!

Thanks John! I had this one cooking for some time lol I’m glad you guys enjoyed it
This all makes sense! Awesome theory. Definitely deserve a follow!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
That is a beautifully woven hat, all straws put together nicely
So maybe the strawhat we saw with Im was Xebec's and Xebec was trying to kill Im. Gol and Garp knowing better or that it wasn't yet time stopped him. Im kills Xebec but in order to keep his existence on the d low, gives credit to Garp. Garp reluctantly accepts with a deep disdain for what the Celestial dragons did that night
I have to say.... I was toying around with some sort of Roc's and IMU love story . Had Shank's and there needed to be a scapegoat for the attack and Garp becomes the hero. And Roger is asked by Roc's to take care of his son and raise him as Rog would later ask Garp to do with Ace. I mention it in my comment above that Rog says "remember Garp, a child should not bear the burden of their fathers sins." Or something along those lines. I'm speculating, and guessing Roc's had a similar situation and that's when they found Shank's in a treasure chest on God Valley. Anyway... My point... I think you definitely have a wonderful theory and truthfully in some ways it makes more sense than my dumb one
This is the best Shanks theory: He was told by Roger the Legend of Joy Boy and ONLY with him they truly understand the mistery of The One Piece . But he thought he could still do things by himself with diplomacy of the Gorossei and form a New World with peace and justice for everyone (even the weak). So, he still helped Luffy to find the One Piece once he was the One to eat the Legendary Sun God Nika to later reencarnate Joyboy. Down the line, during the climax of the war between IMU, Blackbeard Pirates, Straw Hat Pirates and Red Hair Pirates, he discoveres that ONLY Luffy Will be able to bring the Dawn of the World. As such, he sacrifices himself to either Blackbeard or Imu to save Luffy and Luffy awakens yet another power yet to be seen that defeats them all. Gets the One Piece and the story ends. You heard it here first
If the story ends after Luffy becomes Pirate King, I'd be pissed. I want to see him help everyone else achieve their dreams too. And not in 1 to 2 episodes as a wrap up.
half baked
zehahahaa
I think that’s why oda indemnifies with shanks, because he’s the inspirer of so many people and especially kids around the world and I personally think he too is waiting for someone or even many people he inspired to change the world for harmonies sake
I also think during his conversation with whitebeard shanks believed luffy would be the one and white beard thought ace would and as the confrontation with the marines went down whitebeard started to think it was luffy too that’s why his final speech it was luffy highlighted to carry on ace and rogers will
Does this mean Rocks was a Figarland? Shanks was revealed to be a Figarland by the Gorosei in Film Red and Figarland Garling was revealed having the same hair color and face as Shanks in the God Valley flashback.
Hard to say. But it's possible Shanks' mother was from the Figarland side / Celestial dragons while his father was the worlds most notorious pirate at the time
This would also explain why we don’t see much of Shanks in the story. Because the timeline of the story happens to be the time Shanks is waiting for Luffy to reach his prime. Until then he has nothing to do except keep Luffy alive and driven
This theory is from Morj you’re a thief and a clown
Always said one of the biggest mysterys is what gold d told shanks after they found the one piece
Funny how buggy has been there periodically throughout luffys journey. Luffy leaves his island and bumps into buggy. Luffy before the grand line bumps into buggy, luffy at the half way point of the grandline is in prison bumps into buggy. Buggy who was shanks close friend. Weird ay.
keep doing what you are doing, i have no doubt that you will be one of the best one piece theory YT channel
🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
This is not the best Shanks theory ever. It’s the best One Piece theory ever.
Thank you 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
Minimal details to actually tie this theory together but i think Shanks is joyboy and luffy is technically sun god but not joy boy.
1) god valley baby was shanks
2) tell me joyboy isnt an excellent name for a random baby boy born with a smile of D on his face. Its generic and babies spread joy. In Oda fashion it is simple and directly in your face without you realizing.
3) we know shanks was near wano during the fight, so the drums of liberation that zunesha heard can be explained by this
4) the fact we assume joyboy to be prophesied to open wano (this is a rough estimate but i think many would agree) but yet luffy went through wano and freed the country without opening it, which is a clue he isnt the real joyboy.
I think the poneglyphs contain a propeshy/destiny that predict the birth/reincarnation of joyboy as the marker that the prophesy is beginning. So 40 years after the birth of joyboy the world will change or something.
Im not developed enough to know what exactly is going to be done with this final joyboy twist but i think Oda is still tricking us even as he is giving out the info dump in this part of the story.
That would be a wild plot twist
I can't believe shanks took out the kid pirates with one blow
I got a theory about Shank's Devil fruit or power. I think he got an Over Powered one but the downside is that he needs to rest for a long period of time to regenerate or to build up his strength and power back again. This explains why he lost his arms from the seamonster, blackbeard scarring his face, and also he just popped in and out but always never there from important events or fights because during those times he might be resting or doesn't have any strength at all.
Interesting but he didn’t sink during the intro while holding Luffy in the water and shanks is a parallel to roger and roger was confirmed NOT to have a fruit
There are some holes in shanks knowing ace exists and going to the exact island to find him. For one when shanks was staying in fuusha he didn't explore the island they left the island on expeditions. After all we saw ace and luffys past. The island isn't all that huge why would it take shanks years to find ace only to have Luffy accidentally eat the fruit meant for ace.
Also how would shanks know Roger asked garp to look after ace and garps go to island for hiding kids with problematic lineage is the goal kingdom/fuusha village?
Also the Marines went crazy trying to kill any pregnant woman who might have Rogers kid, how would shanks have guessed oh the mom pulled some shit manage to give birth safely and garp took him away? And that's only assuming shanks somehow knew Rogers goal of making a kid after the crew disbanded worked out. Even if Roger is a fuck boy there are several questions. Did he have more than one kid? Did he find a woman that would take the risk? Could Roger be fertile enough with an incurable disease? Could that unknown disease be passed to a child?
So many questions for how shanks would know ace really exists or not and where he would be. Not to mention Roger gave rouge two names in case it was a girl. So Roger telling shanks my son will be the one to complete joyboys task and become the new joyboy couldn't happen because Roger couldn't be sure he'd have a son. I suppose u could say he just said his child but according to what u say in the video Roger seemed to guess he'll have a son and probably name him ace. But that's not the case hence he had two names prepared for his child
And garp definitely didn't tell shanks anything. He was pissed he influenced Luffy while he was away for a while. Garp wanted ace and Luffy to be marines. So if garp knew the truth of the world and joyboy, he would know being a marine is the antithesis of that.
its wierd how in chapter 1079 shanks uses divine departure which is rogers move and the sword looks like rogers
14:45 I think luffy crew will have to fight shanks for their poneglyph and to prove that his crew is better than them. . .
Shanks knows everything. That's why everyone listens to him.
Your video is correct and I’ve been saying this for years. You missed that shanks knew Garp went to east blue with Ace. Also that Luffy said the same thing as Roger before eating the fruit. Then Shanks shows luffy the fruit calling it “ his treasure worth $300b berries” agree shanks gave his arm to make luffy grow. But not on purpose. We know that when the user is stressed their future sight doesn’t work as good. Just think your mission from your hero just got kidnapped and you got tricked with a base level move. He was stressed. That’s why when he saves luffy he calm.
Now here is the key to back everything up. Shanks other treasure luffy got. The hat but the hat was to let everyone know this is shanks and Rogers apprentice. All old school pirates tied to Roger knew the hat red hair used to wear. This is why when WB meets luffy after hearing that shanks gave up his arm for a new generation. He sees the hat and asks is that red hairs. You know shanks. Right there he found out what he thought to be true. Aces brother is wearing Roger/ shanks hat. He also carries the name of D. Now WB final order after seeing that luffy has conquers haki. He tell his crew “follow straw hat with your life’s” the next final order was to retreat. Then says to himself show me kid. Show me this world Roger talked about. Luffy showed him and everyone else.
But for me the marine fort stuff where WB has flash backs just hammers it home that luffy is the one. Rayleigh taking him to ring the bell.
The bell is another thing.?????
Future sight? He had complete dominion over that sea king with conquerors haki instantly... He absolutely let that interaction happen on purpose.
@@amphoric2358 agree he could of one shot the sea king but no let him have a snack and be an optical for luffy.
@@amphoric2358 it was
@@cannednolan8194 for good reason obv
I think the phrase that he says when Blackbeard caught him on guard was that when shanks had revealed his true intentions to black beard,and also if Blackbeard scared him already why does he keep claiming that he can't take em on
Shanks will help achieve the ONE PEACE. Odas foreshadowing is next fucking level
Good theory bro! On watching this, anothet thought crossed my mind as to why he is called Red Haired.
"Red Hairing" = "Red Herring"
a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting.
As you have said, he may be in fact misleading the whole world, especially the Gorosei, by acting as a pacifist/ally, when in fact he is really doing everything to protect Luffy. And the scene with the Gorosei when he mentions about a "certain pirate" would actually be him, intentionally misleading them to look for another pirate, and divert their attention from Luffy, until he was able to awaken the true power of his devil fruit!
Well said. I like that idea alot
Rocks D shanks has a nice ring to it
Love Your Content Bro💙
Appreciate you Nectar!
with all the new info. i think shanks is a celestial dragons son, probably half and half. and all he told him was that he was gonna turn himself in and to be a great pirate. seems like what he said was very quick and in passing. tho i kinda believe the theory that last poneglyph is on the red band of the hat hahaha i’d like that
This is great! Well done!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
I have always wondered. If shanks has such a clear appearance of pacifism and balance, why does he have the highest bounty in the show? Surely a man who is so vital to maintaining peace wouldn't be targeted so heavily. He even cooperates with the gorosei for god sakes, and he has no feats of destruction at all. Bounties are weighed by the threat they pose to the world government. It doesn't make sense that someone who clearly doesn't care about fighting could be the most wanted man in the one piece world.
As Shanks is working with the world elders and maintaining a balance on the seas with the yonkos, it would make sense to manipulate the bounty system to hype Shanks up even more.
So making Shanks out to be a bigger threat keeps most lower level pirates in line and his connection to the world government keeps the Marines from actively pursuing him.
This is pretty interesting !!!good video
Thank you Dennis!
ok the point about Kaido kinda sold it for me ngl
Great video! Good job.
You should invest in a pop filter for your microphone though. Alternatively change your microphone technique.
Your plosives are quite harsh.
Thank you 🙏🏽 and yes I am looking into that at the moment lol
Hot take: Luffy is really Rodgers son and Ace is really Dragon’s son. The started the lie in order to protect Luffy just in case if anyone came looking for him. Ain’t no way Shanks gets tasked with a mission to locate the gum gum fruit, steal it from a marine ship and just have it out at the bar just drinking and chillin. Pull up a side by side of Rodger, Dragon, Ace, and Luffy your gonna see what I’m talking about
Based on this theory theory no mi, potential joyboys were rocks, roger, ace and shanks but the common thing to them was they were too early to become the joyboy and was wrong about ace. So Roger and Garp ended up stopping Xebec (a joyboy potential) cause he is not the one who will change the world and Roger inheriting the will of joyboy from Rocks after defeating him, now he thinks that he is the one who can change the world but soon makes him think otherwise after knowing one piece, then Roger told Shanks he wont be the joyboy too but will help Ace who is again not the joyboy until Luffy ate the fruit. Shanks will aid luffy because the will and dream of joyboy inherited too by Rocks and Roger which is both his father and his captain ended up to Luffy. So Luffys success was his father and his captains success so he better help luffy and it is the best treasure a son and loyal crew can give to his fathers.
I love your theory man.
Thank you!
Love your vids some theory's are little crazy some are amazing but i love your vs power scalling and your live chapter reviews
Thank you Max
You know, the reason rocks' hair is like that, is because he awakened the nika fruit. As tou can remember, when luffy is awakening his fruit during fight with kaido, his hair mels amd gave a figure just like the hair of rocks
💯 theory, I feel the same
Except the reason for his tears when Roger gave him the hat.
I get the feeling shanks got a prediction that he would challenge the future joy boy and lose to him. He's been waiting for him to show up and take him down and fulfill Rogers inherited will and that of the D clan. Even though he got the prediction he is still gonna try his best to defeat Luffy because the future joy boy needs to be strong enough to challenge the world government.
Isn't that the whole kaido situation was all about
Lol in that case why not just join Luffy and help him take down the world government? Makes more sense to me.
WOO!
nice video
calm voice but still nicely paced
Thank you I appreciate that
I think the oath Rogers gave garp, garp originally gave to rodgers, Oda likes connecting stuff like that I woldnt be surprised
Best theory I've heard in a while
Thank you very much!
With the last point about Kaido, Kaido could've responded to Shanks "thanks, I'll kill joyboy after I kill Whitebeard"!
Even ace said luffy was going the bad ass of the new generation
Greatest analysis ever!
It is pretty unlikely that shanks is rocks son. It has already been stated in the same clip you talked about in film red that shanks is of the figarland family. This is most likely shanks is true last name and if I had to guess was probably a celestial family. It would also explain why the gorosei would even consider meeting with him in the first place.
I believe shanks mother is from the figarland family and rocks is his dad.
I like this idea it’s just like, why would he go to laughtale if he knew everything already there
Because it has both the item that is the one piece and the history that he already knows. Perhaps there is some use for the one piece itself
For the longeat time and still today Shanks has given me a secret villian vibe the way he smiles with his eyes closed I don't know why but I have a feeling we are in for the biggest plot twist we have yet to seen lol
Anything is possible with one piece!
This is an amazing theory and it's starting to all add up because it actually makes sense. I couldn't help myself but to smile in awe and wonder the entire time while watching the video.
This is why I'm subscribed and I'm glad I was able to find this gem of a One Piece channel. Nature Boy is Top 1 One Piece creators.
I appreciate you brother thanks for always supporting! Motivates me to want to drop even better videos for all you guys
And Buggy is also ROC's son 100%
OR he said “hey shanks it ain’t gunna be you my boy but look out for the next one”
People might call me insane
But I've always thought that shanks and dragon are brothers,kids of xebec
The biggest reason for this is because 40 year old luffy looks like 40 year old shanks
And cuz am a resident believer of dragon being xebec's son
Shank's is the most important character for me in one piece
Great Video. Now, make a video about why exactly you think Blackbeard will "kill" Shanks? With full logic, portrayal, facts backup, your opinions, narrative, whatever else you think is needed.
That video is already in the scripting process
I am waiting for Shank vs Meehawk fight. Don't know if this will happen or not.
Like the comment if you feels the same too. Subscribe for more.
It’s been confirmed that Shanks was found in a treasure chest on god valley.
Love this and it has a lot of ways of being true! I'd say use some orchestra instrumentals instead of the music box for a more epic effect and you'd have a potential viral video on your hands
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the advice! I’m still playing with the music and figuring out what works best for the videos
@@natureboyOP The music you use now though is still really moving. So keep some of that as well
If somehow later reveal Rocks is from the West Blue.
That's an excellent theory!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment 🙏🏽
I reckon Luffy's dad Dragon will die at one point, probably protecting Luffy as one of the catalysts that push Luffy to a next level.
shanks and rocks (sticks and stones) wordplay fits lol
Even if this theory turns out to be way off it was still a really cool story. Easy sub.
Thank you Russell I appreciate the support!
Shanks already seen the one piece but no intent of claiming it since hes not the one who destined to claim it, remember days before when rogers finally reach the laugh tale, since buggy is sick, shanks decided to stay, and shanks said he’ll form a group in the future and hể himself will go there.
So basically shanks is joyboy
Luffy is joyboy
@@natureboyOPit was sarcastic and I think this is the best shanks theory
This is not even a theory...it's pretty much what it really is..
The only thing i didn't piece is why Shanks cried in his last conversation with Roger.
I’m just having a hard time understand on the arm sacrifice , understanding that oda made the chance because he was told the show was not dramatic enough : but giving up a arm just don’t make much since too me idk
W theory. 🐐
🙏🏽 appreciate you
I think Shanks is using Luffy as a pawn to reach his goal. He knows that he can only get the One Piece trough Luffy, but will sacrifice him on that way. I think Shanks crew will be the hidden endboss from the start of the journey. The story will end with Luffy giving back his strawhat to a defeated Shanks laying on the floor after an intense battle. What better way to show that Luffy became a greater pirate, then besting Shanks in battle.
Dude he was taking care of Buggy when he got sick so he didn't see the Laughtale. The point of Shanks being so capable is that he can get to the laughtale when he needs to.
This comment wasn't against your video but I hope that we both see that the reason Shanks is so revered is that he had a quick uprising when he took things more seriously. Now that he is playing chess with Teach, who brings chaos for fun, who is essentially the counter oppossite to Shanks, who brings balance when it is upset, we can see why he is making these moves so harshly. Shanks, who got the records of Kid knew he was violent and gave him a slim chance of survival, is judging the next generation as he is investigsting the odd moves Teach makes. Teach is out there to wreck havoc by gathering power and letting those he gathers run wild, both of them need the ponyglyphs either to collect the ultimate treasure or to not let it fall into the wrong hands even if they're not interested in it, they are interested in the troublemakers after it.
Man.. i just hope shanks is a aizen caliber villian
Since you said Kaido already had formed some connection between Joyboy and Luffy, and Shanks encountered Kaido on the way to marineford, who knows if shanks could've told Kaido that he was going to save Joyboy?
Thank you for this beautiful theory 🍻
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it
I just want to throw this out there. I think Shanks can make his missing arm using haki
All plausible, but I highly doubt a guy with such good observation haki didn't notice luffy eating the fruit.
I like the theory but one thing that contradicts this is the ‘figarland’ last name shanks was recently revealed to have in one piece red
Could be that he uses his mothers last name just like Ace. Especially with how infamous Rocks was
