As Shanks Is Confirmed To Be a Twin, One Piece Hints at How the Series’ Finale Will Playout

One PieceChapter #1138, “The Harley,” continues with Shamrock tormenting Loki, who is stunned by how much Shamrock resembles Shanks. To satisfy Loki’s curiosity, Shamrock confirms that Shanks is indeed his twin brother, adding that there was a time when Shanks had returned to the Holy Land. This revelation fuels Loki’s hatred even further, enraging Shamrock enough to reveal the power of his sword, unleashing the mythical creature Cerberus from within it.

As Loki trembles in fear at the sight of the summoned beast, especially given that each of its three heads wields a sword in its mouth, he admits he likely won’t survive its attack. However, Shamrock ignores Loki’s plea for mercy, coldly telling him that if he does manage to survive, he should be ready for what’s next. As Cerberus’ massive swords impale Loki, making him scream in agony, Shamrock announces his next move, to go after the giants' children, and instructs Gunko to summon another ally for assistance.

The chapter then shifts to Luffy’s group, where Luffy adamantly refuses to believe that Shanks would harm the giants. However, the knocked-out giants insist that Shanks was the one who intruded and attacked them. As Luffy struggles to accept this, they suggest the possibility that someone who looks like Shanks, may be responsible. As Luffy ponders the idea, the mysterious man in the straw hat and large robe, who has been teased since the beginning of the Elbaph arc, approaches Luffy’s group. The narrative then shifts once more, now following Franky and Ripley as they discuss the significance of Adam Tree Wood.

One Piece’s latest arc is soon going to feature Luffy’s meeting with Shanks, however, not in the way fans are expecting.

Franky is shocked to discover a mural, and Ripley theorizes that it may have been drawn during the Void Century. However, she also speculates that it could just be a meaningless doodle, possibly made by a child. Meanwhile, Saul informs Robin about the Harley text, explaining that it consists of three chapters, each depicting a different world. As the chapter reaches its climax, Robin begins reciting words from the ancient text, while Franky stares in awe at the mural, implying that it might be a visual representation of the Harley text itself.
