Speculations We finally know what Sengoku meant by "only because it's you"

[a_fan]

The God's Knight silhouette is 100% Shanks and it all makes sense now.

Note how the marines in the summit war was in disbelief at Sengoku's word because they had the upper hand in the war and was confident to strike back at Red Hair Pirates. It appears that no one knows who he is except Sengoku and possibly Garb given their highest position of authority in the Navy so this explained why he stopped the war abruptly.

Also, by saying “only because it’s you” implied he wouldn’t say the same thing if Kaido or Big Mum showed up instead.

Then, this scene in the Reverie that says it all.

Thoughts? Do you think Sengoku stopped the war because of this reason?

 

[MarineHQ]

Does anyone still think otherwise?

Would also make sense why Shanks has been tracking BB.

Maybe Shanks saw BB's potential from their RP vs WBP fights when they were young and especially scarring him.

BB is a D, and Shanks as a Holy Knight is wary of him.

If shanks is holy knight? Whi os Sanji?

Yep it’s obvious

We can’t forgot what Dragon said this chapter

“The real battle will start when they mobilise”

They aren’t guys who just sit in Marejois.

Holy shit

 

[Vanlax]

Btw, any chance Mihawk, who did not want to fight Shanks at MF is also a Holy Knight?

No lol. His only role in the story is to get defeated by zoro

You mean the same Shanks that attacked a WG ship, stole the Nika fruit the WG was afraid of reappearing for centuries, fed it to Joyboy's reincarnation and inspired him to become Pirate King, being visibly happy seeing how Luffy awakened into Joyboy, is secretly ally to that same WG? Damn, the WG, including Imu must have the deepest respect and fear of Shanks, given he can fuck them over however he wants and still being considered "holy", with everyone bowing to his will.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

I doubt shanks is a holy knight. The idea of shanks pulling a 180 like that still does not fit in his character.

The holy knight we saw in the chapter is possibly related to shanks and that’s who we saw talking to the gorosei. Sengokus quote alluding to shanks being a CD makes sense tho

I don’t think so because Holy Knights would be from the Celestial Dragon. He looked all roughed up as a kid and appeared to went through hardship like many other pirates.

You make pretty good points tbh.

On the other hand the original post also presents some compelling evidence. Will be interesting to see how Oda plays it out.

He could be a double agent for all we know, nothing makes sense but what we know he is a Celestial Dragon who have the same privilege as them so this means gorosei still sees him as one and didn’t punish him for raiding the ship.

 

[Admiral Mou Bu]

Yonko fans in the mud right now. They cant use Shanks in Marineford and Wano as a hype tool for Yonko strength no more. Not that it wasnt already obvious that it didnt had to do anything with his strength, but tell that Erkan and the other Yonkotards.

 

[comrade]

No, that doesn't make sense. He is going too far for being affiliated with the WG, as he is actively and massively staining and damaging them, more than any other pirate did.

Shimizu Jirocho did this. Played everyone against each other.

Then it's the worst double agent he protected Nika from an Admiral

It's prob related to Shanks but not himself he is Roger's legacy

 

[Herrera95]

He meant only because is you because he knew Mihawk was leaving in the moment Shanks came and if he chose to fight he would lose without Mihawk.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

It's Shanks's doppelganger.

 

[Lord_A]

No its not him. Im sure everyone knows this by now though. unless somehow u guys still believe it is idk
