Speculations The animals of Elbaph are from Strong World, Shiki is coming?

Amazing Find, i definitely felt like i've seen them before, thanks for sharing,

I don't know if Oda just decided to find a better use for those Animals in Manga or Shiki is indeed gonna appear,
But i wanna add that this implies those Monsters are Manmade

Strong World Animals were result of Mutation Experiments conducted by Indigo (Shiki's Scientist),
And so far, many Characters were shown commenting on how unusually large Elbaph Creatures are,
And Dorry/Brogy compared these Animals to Gorosei's Yokai

I would enjoy Shiki's Comeback, but what i strongly believe is that Oda is hinting that those Animals & Giants are result of Experiments,
And tbh if Someone could create such Giant Creatures, He probably also created Sea Kings

There is only One Scientist who isn't Introduced yet & that's "Willie Gallon",
This might be his Arc

I don't expect to see anyone from Rocks' crew. Shiki is movie material, Ochoko was fed to BB's offpanel story, Cpt John will only be mentioned once Buggy finds his treasure, Buckin is only important in relation to Weevil, etc.


now that we found out what young buckingham stussy looked like/that stussy was a rocks pirates member, this scene in wano definitively connects higurashi and the wano scheme to the rocks pirates remnants as a whole, not just kaido. shiki was not mentioned as a rocks pirate pre-timeskip, or as part of the movie, but Oda makes sure to bring him up again and show Shiki alongside the others in the Rocks pirates group shots. He's already bringing him back.



he was movie material before. him being a rocks pirate is newer information.

Oda used his face as a cameo, and of course he was part of Rocks' crew during God Valley, so Oda had to draw him in, but I don't expect any relevancy in current time, aside from maybe another throwaway line like, "Even the Great Lion came here ones, blah-blah."

Shiki was movie material

He aint coming back.Neither will be Bullet or Gil
But Bullet or Gildo have absolutely nothing in common with Shiki or Z or (sigh) Uta. Those were directly created by Oda or Oda was included in the creation process.

Shiki in particular was cited many times in the manga and recently we have even seen him twice.

Sure, that's kind of new, but Shiki is canon in any way possible and Is already included in the plot.

I kinda remember reading Oda took away Shiki's DF ability, making him a pure swordsman. But I couldn't fetch the source.
Can anyone confirm?

I only remeber the SBS in which he said he didn't have a part in chosing Shiki's fruit/Power (which should be illuminating about how much Oda cares about films' Power levels lol). In fact, he said Shiki's power was even against his "rules", but since now everyone knows Shiki's DF, he would have stayed with that:

Question: Golden Lion Shiki has finally appeared in the main storyline, so does this mean that the events of the movie - Strong World have been officially incorporated into the timeline of the main story?

Oda: Well, you can "forcefully" incorporate the whole movie but if you do that, it won't be that much connected to the main story. However, regarding "STRONG WORLD", what I think is, the "Shiki" that existed originally in the main story is the same person used in the movie. Yes, he's in the main story from the start. However, if it wasn't shown in the movie, Shiki was not supposed to have eaten the "Float-Float Fruit". I have a self-rule that I won't make a guy that can freely fly and float in the air, so I decided to seal away the "Float-Float Fruit" (Because this is a manga about pirates), but since it was used in the movie, I have to use it now on the original work. LOL. It's true that a strange "reverse importation" has occurred.
