In the latest chapter of One Piece, titled “Teras our site”, Akagami no Shanks has finally revealed his identity as a member of the Holy Knights. This happens when Sabo and the Revolutionary Army assist in a rebellion against a nation that refuses to pay tribute to the World Government. To everyone’s surprise, Shanks arrives and attacks the head of the Revolutionary Army with his Kamusari technique. Even though Sabo can transform into flames, the attack inflicts a fatal blow on Luffy’s older brother since it is coated with Shanks’ haki.
Sabo is shocked when Shanks reveals that he has been ordered to eliminate the emperor of fire. Sabo begins to question if Shanks is indeed a member of the Holy Knights, to which Shanks responds by strangling one of Dragon’s subordinates. The Revolutionary Army members who are with Sabo panic and launch various attacks on Shanks, but to no avail.
Shanks then recounts a flashback after the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, where he is approached by one of the World Government elders, Gorosei. Gorosei offers him something to become a member of the elite force that serves Im Sama, the Holy Knights. The offer will help Shanks surpass his former captain, Gol D. Roger. However, Shanks did not explain in detail what Gorosei offered him, so he decided to join the Holy Knights.
Shanks then uses his Kamusari technique to attack the Revolutionary Army members and kidnaps Sabo. Before leaving, he remarks that a public execution will make everyone realize the consequences of rebellion. The final saga of One Piece is yet to confirm the authenticity of the leak that Shanks is a member of the Holy Knights, along with his right-hand man, Benn Beckman.
In conclusion, the latest One Piece chapter reveals an unexpected turn of events with Shanks’ identity as a member of the Holy Knights. The scene where Shanks attacks Sabo with his Kamusari technique coated with haki is especially intense. The flashback that explains how Shanks joined the Holy Knights leaves a lot of questions unanswered. With this surprising revelation, fans are excited to see what happens in the next chapter of One Piece.
