It’s not in Shanks' nature to be a disloyal person. He is too close to major pirates: Roger, Luffy, Rayleigh, bullet Buggy and many others. There’s no such thing as Shanks being a double agent. It will lead to Blackbeard acquiring a third devil fruit or perhaps a road ponneglyph or ancient weapon. Lots of theories claim Blackbeard is actually 3 people and Shanks could be warning them that because of what will happen in wano. He would rather maintain things as is but, since he knows he can not stop the changes in the word Luffy has brought, he is most likely issuing a big warning to the government, possibly about Blackbeard doing more than what has ever been done in history. He is not actively seeking more power like Kaido, Blackbeard and Big Mom. Unlike other yonko Shanks only fights to defend people he cares for and his crew. The reason why is because Shanks is the symbol of maintaining balance between all the Great Powers. It’s very clear Shanks is there to either talk about Blackbeard or Luffy. The final island is called laughtale or laugh-tell. (btw Raftel is not the correct name of the last island per Oda himself. It’s quite clear that Shanks has some knowledge of all the world old knowledge due to the fact he was on the Pirate King's ship. Thus, there's definitely more than meets the eye.Įnough to guess that the Gorosei might not have any direct motivation to capture pirates (like the Marines), and definitely not those at Shanks' level. All their appearances seem to indicate they choose to maintain the balance of the Three Great Powers (Marines, Warlords and Pirates), even though one would assume they'd be happy if all pirates were eliminated.
In the very next chapter (908), we see the Gorosei mentioning that the "balance of the world cannot be maintained forever". The Marines fall under the WG, but so do multiple secret forces like the CP0. The Gorosei are under the WG, which has its own agendas beyond simply capturing pirates to maintain peace.
Secondly, the World Government and the Marines are separate. Even in the two instances when Shanks was interacting with other Yonko (Whitebeard and Kaido), they merely attempted to stop the meet by blocking him, and did not attempt capture. They'd have to expend a lot to capture someone at the Yonko-level, which is not worth their efforts unless something major happens. Below are some other technicalities to consider.įirstly, the reason the Marines leave the Yonko alone to a large extent is due to their influence and ability to put up a big fight.
In my view, it is very much against Shanks' character to be a double agent, given how it has developed. Many theories have indeed surfaced that Shanks may have some other status that allies him with the Gorosei or makes him worthy to be treated in such a manner. We only made time to talk because it was you."Īt first thought, it will seem absurd that the position would refer to him being a Yonko, since the Marines are against them. A man with a position like yours isn't suitable to get involved in the world of politics. All that follows is interpretation of their exchange when they meet.īased on the few short panels of their interaction, we see the Gorosei mention: Short answer - We don't know canonically, as there is absolutely no information on the matter. Is there an alliance or something were missing? However, Shanks is an Emperor and considering his influence, capturing him would logically be the best option but instead they'd have a meeting with him.Ĭould this imply that Shanks is secretly in league with the world Government? Or does he have some form of leverage over them? Its not adding up because in the last war (Battle of Marinefold), Aces execution was used to draw Whitebeard out (Yonko at that time). Why would the Gorosei allow a Yonko (Who is one of their biggest enemies) to come into their Holy land? I know that warlords are an exception to this rule since they do the bidding of the Marines in exchange for Amnesty. In One piece, Chapter 907, the Gorosei(Five Elder allows Shanks to enter into Mary Geoise and even go as far as to have a meeting with him and that seems like some serious double standard, considering the fact that the Five Elders do not like pirates, and use the Marines and Warlords to capture them.
