ONE-PIECE
Feb 22, 2024
Hello! I am KENTA, a Japanese who loves One Piece.
The “Red-Haired” Shanks are the ones we would like to focus on this time.
In the movie version of “Film Red,” Shanks rescued Uta with the Straw Hat crew.
In this picture, too, Shanks seems to be an ally who leads Luffy to One Piece.
At this point, however, it is not clear whether Shanks stands on the “World Government side” or the “pirate side.
First of all, let me tell you what I think.
I assume that “Shanks, although born a World Noble, has strong hostile intentions toward the World Nobles and the World Government.
Let’s take a closer look.
Relationship between Shanks and the World Government At this point, it is not clear whether Shanks stands on the World Government side or the pirate side.
However, the following three points suggest that “Shanks has hostile intentions toward the World Government.
The following is a step-by-step explanation.
1. Shanks’ background Looking at Shanks’ background so far, I think it is highly likely that he was actually born a Tenryujin and raised as a pirate.
In the movie version “FILM RED,” it was suggested that Shanks is of the “Figurand” family, which belongs to a high rank among the Tenryujin.
