The Reveal Behind Shanks: A Life That Rewrites the Story

The chapter goes further than the eye — it completely redefines Shanks as a character. Before becoming a pirate, Shanks was a Holy Knight working under the World Government. He possessed the God’s Blade seal — the lowest of three ranks in the Holy Knight hierarchy. Everything we thought we knew about him is now shaken.

Even more shocking: Shanks freed Fisher Tiger while still working for the Government, directly influencing world history while gathering intelligence on Mary Geoise. Suddenly his past, motives, and loyalties feel much more complex — and the fact that he was covering his eye during this period adds another puzzle piece.

We’re No Longer Approaching the Final Arc — We’re Inside It

Whether Shanks turns out to be the eye-patch pirate or not, one thing is undeniable:

The final stage of One Piece is happening right now.

Oda is finally unveiling mysteries he has been storing away for decades — the Holy Knights, Elbaf, the World Government’s secrets, Shanks’ past, and now the eye-patch promise.

The eye-patch tease was made twenty years ago. If that character is truly about to appear, then Oda has officially taken us to the exact point in the story he predicted all those years ago.

The end isn’t coming anymore.

It’s here.
And every new chapter proves the greatest manga story ever told is accelerating toward its climax
