In the latest chapter of One Piece 1087, titled “Shanks Attacked,” the Grand Fleet Alliance surprises Captain Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates by launching an unexpected assault on Shanks’ territory. This turn of events has left fans of the series shocked and wondering about the motives behind this betrayal.
The Grand Fleet Alliance, formed by Bartolomeo at the end of the Dressrosa arc, is a powerful coalition of pirates who have joined forces with the Straw Hat Pirates. Their aim was to support Luffy in his journey to become the Pirate King. However, speculation arises about possible acts of treachery by the Grand Fleet Alliance.
The manga leak from Reddit, regarding One Piece 1087, suggests that Luffy is taken aback and caught in a dilemma. He must now confront the possibility of betrayal from his own allies. Could it be that the Grand Fleet Alliance was only using Luffy for their own gain?
The Grand Fleet is comprised of strong and numerous pirate crews who have aligned themselves with the Straw Hat Pirates. With Luffy’s recent rise to the rank of Yonko, his influence on the seas has grown exponentially. Additionally, the individual members of the Straw Hat Pirates have become formidable opponents, posing a threat to other pirate groups, such as Zoro and Sanji.
Despite this, the Grand Fleet Alliance has not yet arrived in Wano, even after the defeat of Yonko Kaido and Big Mom. This raises suspicions about their true intentions. Could it be that they formed this alliance solely to exploit Luffy and seek personal gain? Or perhaps one of the crews within the Grand Fleet will betray Luffy, especially after Bartolomeo’s clash with Shanks?
One Piece has shown that every faction, whether individual or a group, acts based on its own self-interest. This was evident in how Big Mom’s crew treated the Germa Kingdom. The formation of the Grand Fleet Alliance, following the defeat of Doflamingo, also raises questions about their motivations.
It is common knowledge that Luffy himself was initially against the idea of forming such a large alliance. He was more focused on food than discussing alliances. However, the persistent efforts of pirates like Cavendish, Ideo, and Sai convinced Luffy to agree. Thus, the alliance declared themselves as the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
It’s essential to remember that this alliance is different from the one formed by Trafalgar Law and Luffy during their time in Dressrosa. Law explicitly proposed a partnership to take down Yonko Kaido. The Law and Luffy alliance has been successful in defeating both Kaido and Big Mom. Luffy has even been recognized as a new Yonko.
This further solidifies Trafalgar Law’s careful planning and his belief that significant changes are coming in the world. He has expressed his intention to break down the barriers created by the Yonko. Therefore, his prediction in Chapter 690 of a great tide and a new era seems to be coming true.
As for the pirates who claimed allegiance to the Straw Hat Pirates, they offer no promises or rewards. They simply seek the mutual aid and support in times of difficulty. But can they be trusted to follow through on these claims?
In the world of One Piece, where treachery and cunning are common among pirates, it is hard to determine who can truly be trusted. Various conflicts, both external and internal, have been driven by deceit and betrayal.
With the shocking attack on Shanks by the Grand Fleet Alliance, the readers are left questioning the motives behind this unexpected turn of events. What lies ahead for Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates? Only time will reveal the true nature of this betrayal and its impact on their journey.
