Can someone translate the Shanks and Red Hair Pirates part?
Can someone translate the Shanks and Red Hair Pirates part?
I mean if we look at where the story is, the straw hats have had all but one of the keys to laugh tale for a while, and if it’s their sole goal it can’t take too long to find. Stuff has escalated a lot since wano and luffy becoming an emperor, we saw shanks comment directly on meeting luffy and implied he’s close to the strength he needs but not quite there so it’ll probably be just one serious jump in power until he’s worthy of being pirate king.
If there are two pairs who will meet, it makes sense for it to be shanks + luffy and the sopp father-son duo. Luffy might be strong enough after elbaf, and if shanks is going for the one piece it’s a signal that Luffy will have to go for it soon (so he isn’t beaten). The guy loves to tease Luffy, hazing him before he gets the one piece will probably be his last tease.
But it could also, because of the vagaries, refer to pairs like weevil and Marco, or Loki and mosa. Or Blackbeard and Imu. Who knows, he’s introduced so many possible threads. We know vivi is sending messages to the straw hats, so it may be a 2 year long detour.

I’ve been thinking the final battle would take place as the world floods, and we would concurrently see things like the Noah being used by Poseidon to save surface dwellers (healing divisions at last) and people on weatheria, water 7, etc working to save people. Maybe the final battle could take place with no land but ships as far as the eye can see, like when the yontamaria fleet saved luffy
speaking of lodestar, its got some interesting things
Its name is obviously a reference to a lodestone, or a magnet, the first compasses ever used were natural lodestones suspended so they could spin towards north. It makes sense because this is where all the magnetic forces converge. It isn’t the true last island, but the fact that it in the end overpowers all the other magnetic forces makes it important.
Maybe the nature of lodestar has to do with laughtale. Maybe it’s a meteor island, a massive shooting star filled with magnetite, and it hints that long ago space was part of the world. Maybe it’s a piece of ancient technology there that is the source of the magnetic field. Who knows, but I hope if we do go there we learn something important, because we already know what Roger learned there.
