Nah, Oda is making things up as he goes along at this point, she was intended to be a relevant pirate but that's it.

He already introduced a retcon with Shakky, the empress before Tritoma (Shakky) was said to have died in the manga, and when someone asked about it in an SBS he just handwaved it with his usual bullshit.

 

[vikas]

She was most probably not even a Amazoness..... Also Oda plays the whole world forgetting everything from past too much.

This SBS about Shakky's origins comes from Volume 90 (Chapter 907). It was the first chapter to mention Rocks, even before Xebec's silhouette appeared.

Her name also means peony, which was a clue to her Kuja origins, as they are named after flowers.

if you wanna play devils advocate, Shakky is introduced as a attractive strong former pirate, and ironically the arc after we are introduced to Shakky in Sabaody is literally Amazon Lily.........

 

[MonochromeYoru]

Not "the main fucking reason for Godvalley incident" levels of important lmao

That's the whole reason for the criticisms. She wasn't and shouldn't have been.

 

[Paragorn]

I remember old theories about her being an former Rocks member when in fact it was Gloriossa

But the treasure of Hashinosu? No fucking way lmao

Voted yes because I realized I was completely wrong about the Kuja pirates' role in the story. I severely underestimated Oda's desire to force them to be relevant. I thought the Kuja were mostly irrelevant, but I don't think this new info was something done "last minute." He probably always wanted to do something like this with the Kuja, it being Shakky is just a simple fit for the puzzle.

Nah, Oda is making things up as he goes along at this point, she was intended to be a relevant pirate but that's it.

In fairness, we don't have definitive proof that Tritoma is dead. Could be the empresses that "died" like Shakky and Tritoma is just a cover for "they ran off away from Amazon Lily and ain't ever coming back" whereas Gloriosa did come back. Remember, the Kuja gals are all kind of massively ignorant of the world, easy to trick.

I think it's the other way around and your post is 100% projection lol.

She was set up to be a former Kuja
She was not set up to be the catalyst for Goon Valley

 

[kekaro]

Ey lmao

 

[Gaimon The Pirate]

It's a decent and human plot device, if it was a retcon it doesn't really matter.
Luffy declared war to the WG to save Robin, rocks did the same for shakky

Gooning =\= Saving a nakama

But how are you telling this? Where is the proof?

This is just what a lil' slice of the community thinks.
