This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

Currently, the storyline of “One Piece” is deeply immersed in what some might call its most profound segment of the Final Saga to date. At present, we find ourselves delving into the Elbaf arc, where Oda is shedding much-needed light on the iconic figures of this world, including Rocks D. Xebec, and even hinting at historical figures like Roger and Whitebeard. Already, fans have grown incredibly fond of these flashbacks, but the most captivating moments are still to unfold.

In the 1158th chapter of “One Piece,” Oda shifts focus towards the land of God Valley, revealing more about Red-haired Shanks, a significant character. This chapter also sheds light on Shanks’ twin brother, Shamrock. Previously, it was known that they were Celestial Dragons, but this chapter reveals an interesting twist: Shanks and Shamrock are half-Celestial Dragons, with their mother being of God Valley origin.

Shanks And Shamrock Are Confirmed To Be Half-Celestial Dragons

They’re The Sons Of Saint Garling Figarland

  • Their Mother Was From God Valley
  • Shanks And Shamrock Were Separated After Birth

In the beloved series “One Piece”, Shanks is a character that even casual fans are well acquainted with. He’s one of the key figures in the story, despite not making many appearances. For a significant period, the details of Shanks’s past were shrouded in mystery, but during the Final Saga, it was revealed to the audience that Shanks is indeed the son of a Celestial Dragon.

Shamrock refers to his sibling as being younger than him. Previously, this sibling, known as Shanks, moved back to Marijoa, yet it appears he has now become adapted to living near the ocean.

Besides that revelation, Oda further disclosed an intriguing detail about Shanks – he has a twin brother who belongs to the Holy Knights. This adds another layer to Shanks’ character, and it seems “One Piece” is delving deeper into his background story. The Loki flashback offers fans some valuable insights regarding the Red-haired Yonko.

In chapter 1158 of “One Piece,” it was disclosed to the audience that contrary to popular belief, Shanks was not born in Marijoa, but instead hailed from God Valley. Garling Figarland, during a mission, stumbled upon an astonishing discovery there. The specifics of this shocking find still remain shrouded in mystery. However, it’s clear that while in God Valley, Garling had children with a woman sporting red hair. Given her ordinary human status, it can be deduced that Shanks and Shamrock are merely half-Celestial Dragons and were not born in the sacred land of the Celestial Dragons.

What Shanks’s Lineage Means For The Character

His Pirate Crew Is Based On His Mother

Shanks, once known for his Celestial Dragon lineage, has moved far from that past. Now, as a pirate and one of the Yonko, he openly opposes the government. However, according to Oda’s storytelling, Shanks was initially a member of the Holy Knights before departing Marijoa to form his own crew. This new group he founded is known as the Red Hair Pirates, named in honor of his mother who had red hair.

Shanks is popularly known as Red Hair, a name that reflects his connection to his mother. Consequently, his group of pirates goes by The Red Hair Pirates, further emphasizing his strong affection for her. While the specifics of their relationship are yet to be revealed, fans can anticipate its significant impact, and it seems certain to resurface in the Final Saga as an important aspect of Shanks’s lineage.

One Piece fans, rejoice! The latest chapter, number 1159, is set to release this coming week.
