I wonder if we’ll see Rat Shanks become true.
Now, this is not me shitting on him.
We haven’t seen Shanks take a hit since he lost his arm in Chapter 1. Imagine the first time it happened he genuinely did just regenerate like the Gorosei, then turns into a demon gryphon. I think the fandom would explode.
Maybe Kuzan is not the only one who is doing some double-triple crossing.
Could we see Shanks maybe playing a long game where, after finding the one Roger was waiting for, he’s went to the Gorosei and Imu, leveraged his position as a Figarland to make a deal with them that he would be a peacekeeping force in the New World under the guise of a pirate. The world at large doesn’t know and he has freedom to fight the other Yonko without it being an international incident that drags in the World Government.
And he’s waiting for the exact right moment to turn coat against the World Gov, to help Luffy but until then he will play the long game and maybe even fight against them.
This idea is not especially well thought and ironed out, it basically just came from the idea popping into my head that it would be wild to see Shanks regen from damage, and how that could possibly happen.
