Hello, I am KENTA, the manager of MANGAZAMURAI.
It is said that Shanks, the leader of the Four Emperors Red-Haired Pirates, may have the ability of “Devil’s Fruit” because of his strength.
But my answer is “NO.
I don’t think I eat devil’s fruit.
In this article, I will present the evidence to say that Shanks is not eating devil’s fruit.
Where the one-piece is located
In this discussion, the location where one piece is located is a very important point.
In conclusion, I think the Greatest Treasure of One Piece is located in a space like an undersea cave.
This is the image.
If you are wondering where it is located, please click here for a past discussion.
Where is Raftel, where One Piece is said to sleep?
See the scene here.
A map of the great wealth sunk to the bottom of the sea. I shivered.
When Buggy was young, he found a treasure map from Shanks’ ship, searching for a huge fortune sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
However, he ate the devil’s fruit and missed that treasure because he could not swim.
As a result, only Buggy was unable to swim among Roger’s pirates at that time.
My guess is that it was necessary for Roger’s pirates to swim once in order to get to Raftel in the sea at that time.
When Roger’s pirates entered Raftel, only Baggy, a sailor, had a high fever and could not go to Raftel! The scene where he talks about this is shown below.
I think this is because Buggy was the only one of Roger’s pirates who ate the devil’s fruit, and since he could not swim, he lied that he himself had a high fever and did not go underwater.
This makes sense.
If you can’t swim, you can’t get a dress
After Roger was executed, Shanks knew he needed “Nika’s ability” and got the rubbery fruit.
If he needed “Nika’s ability”, I think Shanks would eat it on the spot.
But he did not.
I think the reason Shanks did not eat the rubber-rubber fruit is because he knew that he could not become a person of ability.
If that is the case, the Four Emperors other than Shanks will not be able to obtain a one-piece even if they reach Raftel.
So Shanks tried to intercept Nika when she reached Raftel.
When Shanks learns that Luffy has awakened to Nika, he says to Beck, “It’s time to go get him.
The Japanese kanji characters are unnaturally used to mean “to take” instead of “to go for”.
Shanks is probably thinking of swimming to rob the other four emperors.
Shanks knows that he needs to swim, which is why none of the red-haired pirates are gifted despite being the Four Emperors.
Luffy cannot reach One Piece
The explanation so far is that Luffy, who cannot swim, will not be able to get the One Piece even if he reaches Raftel.
I thought about how Luffy, who cannot swim, could get the One Piece in a space like an undersea cave.
This is Frankie’s future.
Depending on Frankie’s future as considered in the past, you may be able to get it.
