When it comes to One Piece, fans continuously speculate about the storyline and characters. Recently, fans have been discussing when Akagami Shanks joined the Holy Knight, the elite military force of the World Government. The answer lies in Eiichiro Oda’s petunjuk given in the manga series.
Eiichiro Oda introduced a new military force, the Holy Knights, as the strongest military force under Im Sama in chapter 1083. One of the Holy Knights revealed a striking resemblance to Yonkou Akagami Shanks. Fans speculated about his affiliation with the Holy Knights and how he was able to meet and report to the Gorosei.
Buggy, one of the former Roger Pirates, reveals in chapter 1082 how he admired Shanks’ leadership and how he wanted to help him become the Pirate King. In response, Shanks declined his offer and instead chose to continue his journey as a pirate. However, during Roger’s execution, Shanks displayed a strange expression on his face, which suggests the possibility of striking a deal with the Gorosei to join the Holy Knight.
Therefore, it is likely that Shanks became a member of the Holy Knight after the disbandment of the Roger Pirates and before Roger’s execution. The World Government must have seen potential in Shanks, which benefited them in recruiting him into the Holy Knight at a young age.
In conclusion, Eiichiro Oda has provided us with multiple clues and hints to solve the mystery of when Akagami Shanks joined the Holy Knights. It shows how deep the storyline of One Piece is and how fans have a keen eye for every detail.
