Recently in One Piece, the character Shanks “Red-Haired” has become one of the most enigmatic figures in the series. Although he does not cooperate with the World Government, many are skeptical about his true identity as the son of a Celestial Dragon and his journey to Mary Geoise, as there are still many unknowns regarding Shanks.
One Piece Highlights the Misfortunes of Shanks
The recent chapters of One Piece reveal that Shanks spent some time in Mary Geoise before returning to the outside world. While the purpose of his journey remains a mystery, chapter 1152 may finally provide some answers. In a scene reflecting on Shanks’ past, he is depicted with his left arm, as an unknown person discovered a tattoo clearly associated with the Celestial Dragons. This suggests that Shanks was once a member of the Celestial Dragons at some point, although he undoubtedly left that position at a much earlier time.
However, there may be even more hidden details regarding the symbol. All Celestial Dragons possess the ability to regenerate, which is reminiscent of the ability to transform through a realm called the Abyss, all of which are divided by the Celestial Dragons. This implies that Shanks may have once had all the supernatural abilities of the Celestial Dragons and the Abyss. Shanks may have had to surrender all of this when he rejected the Celestial Dragons, yet the evidence still raises many questions about the potential strength Shanks might have had in the past.
Latest Developments in One Piece: The Terrifying Power of Imu
While the true nature of Imu’s power remains a significant mystery, it is clear that Imu has the potential to dominate and manipulate the Celestial Dragons. The key to this power might be the Abyss, which could play a role in understanding his motivations. Furthermore, considering Saturn’s inability to act against Imu, it raises questions about the relationship between them, suggesting that Shanks might still bear the mark of Imu even after leaving Mary Geoise.
All these details are intertwined with the grand theories surrounding Imu’s identity. Imu is known for his need for control, often at the expense of others’ autonomy, a characteristic that ties him to the dark imagery associated with him. The Abyss could symbolize a deeper connection between Shanks and the Celestial Dragons, representing a dark legacy in One Piece that makes every mention of it eerily captivating.
Overall, these revelations and theories only amplify Shanks’ character complexity. He is not merely a powerful figure opposing Imu but also one who embodies the tragic history linked to Roger’s legacy. The loss of his arm can be viewed as a drastic change in his relationship with the past and a testament to his unwavering faith in Luffy. Thus, Shanks’ refusal to engage with Imu enhances his status as a heroic figure. The ongoing Elbaf arc continues to set the stage for what lies ahead for Shanks, and it will be exciting to see what One Piece has in store for him in the upcoming chapters.
