The Individual Speaking to the Gorosei is Shamrock and Not Shanks
Recently, Eiichiro Oda has officially acknowledged a long-standing theory within the One Piece community regarding the identity of the person conversing with the Gorosei, also known as the Five Elders, in chapter 907. Initially, this character appeared to be Shanks, sharing a striking resemblance.
However, as the Elbaf arc unfolds, it has been revealed that the figure in question is actually Shamrock Figarland, Shanks’ twin brother. While they share similar physical traits, differences such as clothing, hairstyles, and distinctive scars set them apart.
Who is Shamrock Figarland?
Leader of the Holy Knights
Shamrock Figarland, much like his twin brother Shanks, is portrayed as an extraordinarily powerful character. His unique abilities are still being unveiled, but early indications suggest he will surpass many formidable characters established in prior arcs.
As a Celestial Dragon and Commander of the Holy Knights, Shamrock commands considerable power and influence that few can rival. He is notably the son of Garling Figarland, who holds a significant position among the Five Elders following the demise of Saint Saturn.
