Eiichiro Oda Reveals New Characters in One Piece: Meet Akagami no Shanks’ Siblings
One Piece fans are in for a treat with Eiichiro Oda’s latest revelation about two new characters, siblings of the beloved Akagami no Shanks. Holy Knight, a group of “exterminators” that are an extension of Im Sama, have caused quite a stir in the One Piece universe. The group has been associated with Shanks, with some even speculating that he is a member. However, Oda has finally put those rumors to rest and even hints at the leader of Holy Knight.
Oda revealed two red-haired characters that are siblings to Shanks. The character on the left is his older brother, Akagami Rui, who is also a sword user and has terrifying power. The character on the right is his older sister, Akagami Megumi, who possesses the power of a devil fruit. According to Oda, both siblings will help Shanks in Battle Royale 4 Yonko on Egghead Island, which is said to be the second biggest arc after the Final War and the opening of the Last Saga in One Piece.
While Oda did not provide detailed information about their abilities, he did confirm that their presence is to counter the devil fruit powers of Shanks’ enemies during the Battle Royale. The reveal of Shanks’ siblings makes for a thrilling addition to One Piece’s cast, and fans are eager to see how they will shake up the storyline.
In recent chapters, some fans speculated that Shanks might be a member of Holy Knight, given his close ties with the World Government. However, Oda puts those rumors to bed by providing clues that prove otherwise. During a Q&A session, Oda showcased images of the Holy Knight members, which confirmed that Shanks does not belong to the group. The Holy Knight is a mysterious group that has equal power to the Gorosei, and their purpose is to execute the orders of Im Sama.
One Piece enthusiasts can now put their minds to rest, knowing that Shanks is not a member of the Holy Knight. However, the revelation answers these persistent questions and adds to the mystique surrounding Shanks’ character. With the appearance of his siblings and their accompanying abilities, Shanks’ character promises to become even more complex.
In conclusion, Eiichiro Oda’s latest revelations propel One Piece’s storyline to new heights. The reveal of Shanks’ siblings and their roles in the Battle Royale is an exciting development that fans can look forward to. As the story progresses, fans can only anticipate more exciting twists and turns in the ever-expanding One Piece universe.
