Questions & Mysteries WHO IS THIS PERSON DRINKING WITH CROCUS??

[Paperchampion23]

It's Yorki. He was never actually shown dying win Brook's flashback and it'll give us one last surprise when Brook's accomplishes his dream

I feel like that entirely defeats part of Brooks dream though. They were both Rumbar pirates, and Yorki being alive (and not a skeleton) shows Laboon that there is a living pirate that came back to see him from that crew already.

Plus, he's wearing a Wano hat and jacket that resembles nothing like Yorki.

Why not? He had a casual chat with his former crew mate Whitebeard and had a noted admiration for Roger before his death, no reason why he couldn’t sit down for a nice talk with Crocus when they’re both supposedly retired old men.

nope, it's shiki we're talking about

nope, it's shiki we're talking about

It seems like it

Many legends met Crocus after all

Roger did too and so Luffy

 

[Skiddo]

what do u mean yorki has zero plot relevance? crocus was once part of his crew and he knew laboon too

Crocus was never a part of Yorki's crew. Other than this, Laboon has nothing to do with the One Piece plot other than being Brook's long cherished dream.

nope, it's shiki we're talking about

Right, we’re talking about a pragmatist who’s clearly comfortable allying with former enemies in the interest of achieving a higher goal...to preclude the possibility of him reminiscing with someone else of his era would be foolish.

have you seen strong world?
shiki is crazy, even in chapter zero,
and I don't think crocus as Roger's doctor will be happy for meeting someone like shiki

oh sorry, i meant they met before LOL and become friends with each other together with Brook and Laboon, showed a whole better relationship than Shiki

Lol. But regardless, Yorki reappearing would provide nothing to the plot. He'll just be a Brook 2.0 with the same dream.

roger and shiki didn't have the same goal, they are completely different person, and why would crocus even want to meet shiki

So y’all are basing this opinion on an anime-only portrayal...Oda has shown us multiple instances in the canon of old rivals (such as Shiki’s two contemporaries WB and Roger) sitting down and talking things out free of sinister intent. When in doubt, I trust the manga over any non-canon movies.

right, i can't disagree with this

Brook is a much better character honestly regardless

yeah, it's true that we don't know anything about Shiki's personality in manga (which is canon) tho, the only thing we know that's Shiki was once a part of the Rocks pirates

Well we know he was very ruthless and he proved it different times

That’s all I’m saying, we don’t know how his personality in the manga has changed from his Rocks stint or from chapter 0, which took place 22 years before the present day. Time softens everyone’s edges, it’s not unreasonable to think that two old men who used to oppose each other can find common ground in their impending mortality. Does it makes as much sense as Scopper Gaban being the mysterious visitor? Maybe not, but we’ve only ever seen Gaban portrayed with a totally different hairstyle, which I’ll admit can also change drastically in a couple of decades. By all rights, they’d both probably have gray hair by now...

right, i thought that one legend Luffy would met in Wano was Scooper Gaban, but it turned out to be that old man Hyogoro

There’s still the outside chance Gaban (or Shiki for that matter) show up soon, be it in Wano or after the SHP depart. Would have been cool to see the former in Udon, but that’s nowhere near the biggest narrative disappointment in this arc so far.

I doubt Scopper would do that too honestly

Unless we get to know more of his personality

 

[Balen]

He looks like shiki to me but the problem is that shiki has a longer hair than the person in the cover page

Spoiler

Spoiler

The steering wheel in his fucking skull is probably the biggest piece of evidence that it isn’t him; there’s only one kasa in the OP world big enough to hide it, and unless he somehow found the one Ace made for Oars Jr, I don’t see us missing something like that in the cover story image.
