As the new chapter of One Piece 1086 has been released, it finally reveals the mysterious connection between Shanks and the Figarland family with the Holy Knight group. Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka, unveiled the characters of two siblings of Akagami no Shanks, who are the heirs to the Figarland family and Holy Knight VII. They serve Im-Sama and the World Government. Shanks and the Figarland family have always been linked with the Holy Knight group since the first appearance of nine Holy Knights.
In the previous One Piece 4 Billion movie booklet, it was disclosed that Shanks was part of the Figarland family, and all his bloodlines became Holy Knights. The Holy Knight group is known to be the secret assassin squad of Im and Gorosei, which has recently emerged in the story. Oda sensei created more mystery by introducing the two siblings of Shanks in One Piece 1086.
The appearance of the two red-haired pirate siblings from the Figarland family and the successors of Holy Knight VII mades the story of One Piece more complicated and intriguing. The Holy Knight group is known to be brutal, and Im sent them to destroy eight territories that would not cooperate with the World Government.
Many speculations have emerged about Shanks and his connection with the Holy Knight group since Oda showed the silhouette of the Holy Knight members in Chapter 1083. The greatest clue from the various speculations is that the silhouette of one of the Holy Knight members resembled Shanks. The speculation emerged that Shanks might have a twin.
Oda sensei unveiled the identities of the two siblings of Shanks, who will become the new characters in One Piece. The left character is the older brother of Shanks, Akagami Rui Figarland, who is also a sword user and has tremendous power. On the other hand, the woman on the right is an older sister of Shanks, Akagami Megumi Figarland, who possesses the legendary devil fruit power.
The reason behind Oda’s introduction of the two characters is to support Shanks in the Battle Royale 4 Yonko on Egghead Island. The Egghead arc is said to be the second-largest arc after the Final War and the beginning of the Last Saga in One Piece. The siblings, Rui and Megumi, will be there to balance the power of the devil fruit users against Shanks’ opponents.
In conclusion, One Piece 1086 has finally solved the puzzle of Shanks and the Figarland family’s engagement with the Holy Knight group. The mystery of the Silhouette has finally been revealed, and the introduction of the siblings made the story more complicated and interesting. The Battle Royale 4 Yonko on Egghead Island is the most anticipated part of the story, and the siblings of Shanks will play a major role in it.
