Current Events Celestial Dragon Shanks Has Political Immunity From The Admirals

#26
Hello everyone,

So, Shanks has been confirmed to be a Celestial Dragon:



As this is very likely Shanks’ father. And I want to be clear, I think Garling is very cool lol, just the idea that this guy was the king of God Valley and can sentence Celestial Dragons to death is conceptually awesome.

However, I want everyone to take a brief moment to realize where this guy falls on the World Government hierarchy. This guy is ranked beneath Imu and beneath the Gorosei, which by definition means the Figarland family was unable to secure themselves a higher stature than this within the World Government.

This pretty much confirms that the Gorosei individually are probably viewed as being stronger than Garling, and thus very likely stronger than Shanks as it is from Garling that Shanks would have inherited his own CoC which is 99.9% of Shanks’ strength given that Shanks is physically a completely normal and unexceptional human with unexceptional Celestial Dragon genes.

But Celestial Dragon Shanks being a relatively unexceptional Celestial Dragon isn’t the topic of today’s thread. Today’s thread is about how 1086 confirms that Celestial Dragon Shanks has political immunity from the Admirals.

You see, what did Ryokugyu mean by this moment here:
z

When he said he does want to fight the Red Hair Pirates, but not yet? Well, probably the same thing that Sengoku said when he said he would end the war “only because it’s you”:

Celestial Dragon Shanks has political immunity from the Admirals. In fact, the Admirals literally must protect Celestial Dragon Shanks since he is a Celestial Dragon.

I’ve seen some bring up Doflamingo, who was a Celestial Dragon but the Marines were going to arrest him if he gave up his Warlord rank. But no, Donquixote Holming specifically renounced his Celestial Dragon rank when he left Mariejois and took Doffy with him. Doffy stopped being a Celestial Dragon when Holming did. Celestial Dragon Shanks’s father is still very much a high ranking active Celestial Dragon.

Additionally, Celestial Dragon Shanks himself still maintains ties with the Gorosei:


So it’s not as if Celestial Dragon Shanks ever foresook his lineage, he is still sipping tea with these guys lol.

So that said, how is an Admiral supposed to attack an active Celestial Dragon? They would be sentenced to death if they killed Celestial Dragon Shanks, of course no Admiral wants to subject themselves to that. Does Garling seem like the type of motherfucker to overlook an Admiral killing his son just because his son is a Pirate? Garling probably views Celestial Dragon Shanks’ Pirate escapades as a Celestial Dragon doing what he wants ‘as is his birthright’ which is a common view among irl ‘Celestial Dragons’.

No, I think it is plainly apparent that Ryokugyu wants to strip Celestial Dragon Shanks of his Celestial Dragon status so he can kill him. This is the meaning of “not yet”, Celestial Dragon Shanks is probably an especially heinous existence to Aramaki who would view him as a God who betrayed the other Gods by becoming a filthy Pirate. Aramaki wants to strip Celestial Dragon Shanks of his god status the same way Fujitora wanted to strip the Shichibukai of their Shichibukai status.

Both Fujitora and Ryokugyu joined the Marines to eliminate the political immunity of pirates in different ways, and for Aramaki this means removing Celestial Dragon Shanks’ political shielding so he can kill him.

TL;DR, Celestial Dragon Shanks is a Celestial Dragon dog who owes all of his success to having political immunity from the Marines.

Daddy Garling has access to all Holy Knights, maybe all Seraphims, all Admirals and arguably could talk Imu into borrowing Mother Flame for a while.

Yet a filthy fatass bully scarred his spoiled child, what is Oda trying to say?

Sentenced to death by whom? I thought the admirals are the WG's strongest power houses?

:risiup:

Yes, obviously an out of prime Garling, who does not have the same level of Haki ( = ambition) as his son who is a great pirate with huge individual and political power, making the Gorosei sweat buckets just by meeting Whitebeard:



would execute Aramaki's sorry ass.
Garling probably views Celestial Dragon Shanks’ Pirate escapades as a Celestial Dragon doing what he wants ‘as is his birthright’ which is a common view among irl ‘Celestial Dragons’.
Yes, right. Mjosgard, whose family is part of the inner circle of the nobles, was executed for treating a fishman humanely, as such behavior contradicts the World Government's doctrine, yet Shanks
- Sails on Roger's ship
- Being one of the most influential pirates, a great pirates that searches for the One Piece
- Steals the Nika fruit the WG sought for centuries
- Feeds it to the main character and inspires him to become PK
- Thus ultimately being the main factor that brought down the WG
- Also steps in into the Marine HQ to dictate terms

is granted immunity because he has the bloodline from a noble. That's what it's all about.

Pro tip: the next time you type a 1,000 word response, try not to make the first sentence so stupid that the person you’re responding to doesn’t even read the rest of your comment lol.

Yes, the Admirals are the WGs strongest fighters. Yes, the people who would sentence the Admirals to death are weaker than them. Just like irl if the President sentences a Navy SEAL to death, that doesn’t make the President stronger than a Navy SEAL.

I am literally begging you to use your brain Comrade lol.

Guess these people who sentenced Kaido to death dozen of times were all stronger than him lol

Kaido survived though and went out well, they couldn't harm him, while Lee admitted there is someone capable of executing admirals or else they wouldn't fear the death sentence like Aramaki factually did when a Celestial Dragon threatened Aramaki with said execution and Aramaki was in visible distress.

Lee just trolled himself into a corner.
