Shanks saved Elbaph from being taken to fake Shanks, but fool Loki somehow almost messed up Shanks plan so King Harald died in the process.
Conclussion: Fool Loki thinks "Shanks" is fake Shanks and hayes him.
There are more thing to come into this, like the mysterious person who wanted the Sh crew to come to Elbaph/Collon's dad, and Mosa. Even probably hidden parties.
But there's one thing that I think I am 90% right about, abd it's "fake Shanks" not being his real apprarence... So:
- He has some short of yokai magic which can make you like to look like and this dude is used amongst the HK to create havoc, pain, and weakness over tveir objectives. Casually, this dude appears, as a HK, in the same country where Shanks is a bit under focus for the 6 yeats ago incident... Perfect plot for a "doppleganger" plot.
- It's a Mythical Zoan shapeshift.
- A better devil fruit than Kanjuro's wich allow you to "dress your own draws."
I refuse to believe this is only a fucking clone or an evil twin of Shanks... Too shit... Too basic.
