Though Whitebeard is no longer active in the current timeline, fans remain obsessed with figuring out who could have inflicted such a wound on one of the strongest characters in the story.

Earlier speculation pointed to either Roger or Shanks, but Chapter 1167 introduces a new possibility: Shanks’ twin brother, Saint Shamrock. Could he have been responsible for this legendary injury?

Shamrock and the Theory

In the anime and manga, both Shanks and Shamrock were raised in the Holy Land as God Knights.

Some fans argue that Whitebeard’s comment about Shanks’ face resembling the one who gave him the scar might point to Shamrock.

Yet when timelines are examined, the theory starts to falter. Whitebeard did not carry this scar during the God Valley era, Oden’s era, or even during Roger’s execution.

This timeline discrepancy suggests that the Pirate King, Roger, could not have been responsible.

For Shamrock to have inflicted the scar, he would have had to fight Whitebeard at his prime while still a teenager—a scenario that seems highly unlikely, given that Chapter 1167 only depicts him in training, far from god-tier combatant status.

Throughout its run, Eiichiro Oda has introduced countless plot threads that remain unresolved, encouraging fans to theorize and speculate.

What began as casual community discussions has evolved into a massive theory-driven movement—especially after several early theories turned out to be true.

Holy Knight God Valley One Piece

Now that the manga has entered the Final Saga, Oda has started pulling back the curtain on some of the biggest unanswered questions.

The most notable revelation so far is the God Valley Incident, which has reshaped the way fans view the story.

However, a new theory has recently captured the spotlight: each Holy Knight may be directly—or thematically—linked to a specific member of the Straw Hat Pirates, potentially shaping their pasts in hidden ways that are only now coming to light.

The Nami–Sommers Theory

The alleged connection between Nami and Sommers is where this theory gains momentum. Sommers stands out as a remarkably informed Celestial Dragon, able to recognize Jaguar D. Saul’s identity long before most nobles could.

This detail raises speculation that Sommers might have ties to the tragedy of Nami’s childhood—rooted in genocide and Marine negligence.

Some fans believe Sommers may have overseen, planned, or been involved in those events, and may even share a connection to Nami before Bell-mère adopted her.

Not necessarily a biological relationship, but a political or narrative link that aligns with Oda’s pattern of tragic irony, systemic injustice, and emotional backstory twists.
