Speculations Who did Amazon Empress Tritoma have love sickness for?

#44
Shanks is the mid gen Roger
He doesn´t have similar adventures/connections to islands that Roger/Luffy have

Roger: was friends with Kozuiki Oden
Luffy: was friends with his son, Kozuki momonosuke
Shanks: had no independent connection to Wano or the Kozuki clan

And you can do the same with Sky islands, Zou, FMI etc. If Amazon Lilly is connected to the void century, Shanks won´t be connected

Shanks is a Joyboy cosplayer and a Child of Destiny. He’ll be connected to the Void Century

Why didn´t he end up being connected with the Kozuki clan, or the birth of the mermaid princess? That is what the Roger pirates were waiting for, a new mermaid princess, and a Wano with open borders.
Because unlike Roger who had to find it out at Laugh Tale, Shanks already knew that shit can’t be done until Nika emerges

Reminder that as much as it does kind of ruin the story, the Gomu Gomu literally chose Luffy lmfao. It escaped from Shanks the same way it escaped the Gorosei.

Plus, there was nothing stopping Shanks from going to Wano, or going to FMI to meet the mermaid princess except for the existence of Big Mom and Kaido

Tbh even if her connection IS Dragon and she DID have Luffy, its possible being forced to give him up and Dragon continuing to be a Revolutionary could have still caused that.

Imo she does have a very "Luffy-esque" face, at least when he was younger.
Imo Luffy’s mother will either be someone extremely plot relevant, or a literal nobody that we hear nothing about

The flowers that both Gloriosa and Tritoma are named after share a fiery theme, so maybe their taste in men is similar.

Gloriosa
- Flower: Gloriosa
- Other Names: fire/flame lily, glory lily
- Loves: Gol D. Roger

Tritoma
- Flower: Kniphofia
- Other Names: tritoma, red hot poker, torch lily
- Loves: ?

Gloriosa had unrequited love for the Straw Hat-wearing Roger, so Tritoma may have had unrequited love for the Straw Hat-wearing Shanks.

We do know Hancock has unrequited love for Straw Hat Luffy.

Gloriosa & Captain Roger
Shakuyaku & First Mate Rayleigh
Tritoma & Apprentice Shanks
Hancock & Successor Luffy

Rayleigh is the odd man out, but he's the only one who loved a Kuja Empress back.

Shakuyaku
- Flower: Peony
- Other Names: King of Flowers (花王, China)
- Lover: Silvers Rayleigh

I feel like everyone's ignoring one potential avenue of thought this could go down.

What if Tritoma had love sickness for Shakky?

I don't think anyone's ever said you could only get love sickness for someone of the opposite gender.

Tritoma did seem to be one of the Kuja who were in charge of everyone's fan mail. Who's to say if she couldn't slip a few of her own letters in with everyone else's? And when Shakky eventually left the island to be with Rayleigh, Tritoma's feelings could have gone unrequited, or even unsaid in the first place. No one else may have ever known how she felt.

Or hey, maybe it could be someone else. Let's say Miss Buckin. Maybe Tritoma found out that Miss Buckin was trying to clone herself and just the thought of two Stussys running around was just too much for her poor heart to take. Or even Big Mom. You know what one race that Big Mom might not have had in her family yet? The Amazons!

Or, and I'll admit this is very unlikely, is it a coincidence that her name is TRI-toma? Is it possible for someone to get love sickness for more than one person at a time? Maybe she had love sickness for two different people at the same time? This is a children's manga, so I doubt it. But, ALL avenues deserve to be considered here! For science!

I don't know. I feel like other options are on the table. Maybe it's not likely. It's makes for a interesting enough story, but it doesn't really move the story forward in any way, like her being in love with someone else would. But, I'm not sure if Oda cares or not? It's sometimes hard to predict what his priorities are. But, I could see Oda doing something like this.

Men aren't allowed to stay on Amazon Lily so it's plausible that Luffy was taken off the island by Dragon after being born and Tritoma stayed behind for some reason, but since she was separated from Dragon she eventually died a few years later.

Though I find it hard to believe that Oda would essentially SBS diff Luffy's mother, that kind of treatment only happens to side characters like Zoro or Kidd.
SBS diff is crazy work 🤣 🤣
