There was a big question that arose when Eiichiro Oda released One Piece Chapter 1084. The question was, who exactly is the group known as Holy Knight? One Piece fans speculated that the Holy Knight, who serve as protectors of the Tenryuubito, could be none other than Shanks.
The speculation was not without reason. In a previous chapter of One Piece, Shanks was seen attending a meeting of the kings in Marijoa, despite being a pirate who is not even allowed to enter the holy land of Marijoa. Moreover, the Gorosei highly respected him when he came to the sacred land.
Eiichiro Oda slowly revealed Shanks’ true identity in One Piece, but also explained the extent of his power. The Akagami No Shanks group is indeed the most feared enemy in One Piece. After all, Shanks is a Yonkou who is considered very senior and has the strongest Haki in One Piece. Additionally, he is a member of Gol D Roger’s pirate group, who discovered One Piece.
Despite having a small group, Shanks has a huge influence in the One Piece world. It is even believed that he holds a high political position. For instance, Sengoku agreed to allow Shanks to bury Ace and Whitebeard after the Marineford war. Furthermore, the Gorosei considered Shanks to be their equal.
These facts demonstrate that Shanks has political power not only within the navy but also within the world government. However, it is unlikely that he is part of the Holy Knight group as he has his own world and adventures. Nonetheless, there is a possibility that Shanks is one of the 20 world leaders in One Piece.
The latest clue that Oda provided in One Piece 1084 reveals that Shanks’ twin brother is the leader of Holy Knight. It is worth noting that One Piece is a Japanese story that was first published in manga (comic book) form on July 22, 1997. Two years later, the anime version of One Piece was released. Since then, One Piece has become a global cultural phenomenon, breaking many records and winning the hearts of anime fans.
The story of One Piece follows the adventures of the brave pirate Monkey D Luffy as he searches for One Piece, the treasure that all pirates covet. After 25 years and 490 million copies sold worldwide, the creator, Eiichiro Oda announced that One Piece is entering its final days.
