One Piece has recently released chapter 1095. The chapter has made the fans go wild since it has hinted at Shanks’ origin. It is indicated that Shanks is the son of a Celestial Dragon. After the immense success of One Piece Live Action, the show’s popularity has increased. Moreover, with the latest chapter, one of the oldest mysteries of the anime is slowly being dug up.
Shanks has always remained one of the fan-favourite characters of One Piece. He inspired Monkey D. Luffy to walk down the pirating path. But there has always been a mystery surrounding his past. Chapter 1095 is slowly clearing the doubts about Shanks. People will be shocked that Shanks’ origin might have been revealed years ago.
Red-Hair Shanks’ Possible Origin in One Piece
Red-Hair Shanks is the captain of Red Hair Pirates and the former crewmate of Gol D. Roger. He is, without a doubt, one of the strongest characters in One Piece. His origin has been kept secret since the birth of the manga. But chapter 1095 of One Piece manga has highlighted the origin of Shanks. Moreover, it hints that his origin might have been revealed 20 years ago.
Chapter 1095 featured a young Figarland Garling, the leader of the Holy Knights. To everyone’s astonishment, he looks exactly like young Shanks except for his weird hairstyle. His hair is also red, just like Shanks. With One Piece: Red film confirming that Shanks belongs to the Figarland family, the theory of Figarling Garling being his father has found more ground to stand on.
For the moment, these are all just speculations and are yet to be confirmed by Eiichiro Oda. But fans cannot help but notice the uncanny similarities between young Figarland Garling and Shanks. If Shanks is Figarland Garling’s son, then that would make him a Celestial Dragon. That may be one of the reasons why Gorosei agreed to meet with him, and Sengoku decided to end the Paramount War.
Shanks’ Possible Origin Revealed 20 Years Ago
Chapter 1095 of One Piece hints that Figarland Garling is Red-Hair Shanks’ father. The fans will be shocked to know that this fact was teased almost 20 years ago in chapter 434. It showed that Shanks came to meet Whitebeard. After seeing Shanks, Whitebeard said, “When I look at your face, it makes my scars ache. The scars I got from him…”
Saint Figarling Garling was present during the God Valley incident. During that time, he and Whitebeard might have had a duel, and he managed to land a blow on Whitebeard’s face. Maybe Whitebeard is talking about that scar. So, in a way, Whitebeard said that Shanks and Figarland Garling look the same. Thus potentially hinting at them being son and father.
It is to be noted that the leader of Holy Knight is powerful enough to land a heavy blow on the World’s Strongest Man during his prime. So, he should not be taken lightly. Theories also suggest that Garling might have left Shanks in a chest on God Valley, which Gol D. Roger later found. All the theories point at Shanks as the son of Figarland Garling. But it was teased 20 years ago, and no found knew it. That is why Oda sensei is considered to be a genius.
