You know what I don't get? Who the fuck is this character and when is he going to show up?
- Scopper? Possibly but I feel like its doubtful. Scopper is never seen with a Wano strawhat and it seems like the Roger Pirates barely set foot in Wano, save to view the Road Poneglyph.
- Shiki? See, I feel like its him, considering this comparison:
and the fact that Oda could have done a redesign for the character. Shiki already has a very japanese design about him, and the official colors here match with the films somewhat. The fact that Shiki is the only film character Oda canonized, has mentioned multiple times in the manga, AND the fact that Rocks is a heavily significant plotline right now, leads me to believe its actually him. Crocus may have not been a part of Roger's crew when they took down Rocks (someone correct me if I'm wrong here), but Shiki was Roger's rival for years after this when Crocus WAS present, as evidenced by Chapter 0.
Now, the fact that this character seems to have a "good" demeanor about him and the fact that Crocus is enjoying said person's company, perhaps Shiki comes to Wano as an ally? Really weird, but with all the Rocks stuff and Shiki being mentioned AGAIN by Oda I feel like it may happen.
Granted....did he get old and frail? Body size-wise, it doesn't add up for his character, so I doubt it somewhat. Just who could this be otherwise? The Wano Strawhat seems old and worn.
