The latest chapter of One Piece, Chapter 1084, finally reveals the mystery behind Shanks’ twin brother as the leader of the Holy Knight. Eiichiro Oda has included clues that led to this revelation, and we will delve into them in this article.
As depicted in silhouettes of the Holy Knights, there is a figure standing in the middle that bears a striking resemblance to Shanks. This figure is the leader of the government’s secret warriors and shares the same body build, hair, clothing, and sword as Shanks. Many believe that Shanks is an undercover agent of the World Government and not a pirate.
Interestingly, there are several clues that prove that the leader of the Holy Knight is Shanks’ twin brother. During a Q&A session, a fan asked Oda if there are two Shanks in the One Piece story. The question arises since Shanks is usually depicted without a scar on his left eye. Additionally, the fan is curious about how Shanks managed to arrive at Marineford so quickly after his fight with Kaido.
However, the first answer that Oda gave during this session was censored, leaving many fans to speculate that it may be related to Shanks’ twin brother. Another clue is when Shanks visits Mariejoa to meet with the Gorosei, and Oda only shows the right side of his body. It is likely that Oda deliberately obscured the twin brother’s identity to prevent readers from realizing that the person who met with the Gorosei was indeed Shanks’ twin who is a member of the Holy Knight.
Moreover, during Shanks’ meeting with Whitebeard, the latter mentions that he feels a painful sensation when he sees Shanks’ face due to the scars he received from “that person.” This statement confirms that the person in question has a face identical to Shanks’. If the whole body of Shanks’ twin brother is shown, he would not have a scar on his left eye, and his left hand would still be intact.
In conclusion, the clues presented by Oda in One Piece Chapter 1084 strongly suggest that Shanks’ twin brother is the leader of the Holy Knight. The revelation of this information heightens the anticipation of the manga’s future chapters and opens up possibilities for exciting plot developments.
