One Piece: Oda Officially Reveals The Mother Of Red Hair Shanks

by

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

From my perspective as an avid One Piece fan, the Elbaf arc is presenting a riveting reenactment of Loki’s backstory, a spectacle that Oda has masterfully executed thus far. Particularly intriguing is the integration of the tale of Rocks D. Xebec, a narrative long intertwined with the God Valley Incident. After years of anticipation, it seems we, One Piece fans, are finally being granted the story of Rocks. Unquestionably, One Piece promises to unveil the God Valley Incident while simultaneously revealing how each significant character became entangled in it.

In the God Valley Incident, characters like Rocks, Roger, and Garp were expected to play significant roles. However, a character often overlooked by fans is Garling Figarland. Oda has hinted that Garling is heavily involved in the God Valley Incident, and this event is closely linked to the tales of Shanks and Shamrock. For a long time, fans have wondered about the connection between God Valley and their stories, and it appears that Oda has finally provided some answers. In One Piece chapter 1158, both Shanks and Shamrock are seen in God Valley, along with a woman who resembles their mother, sporting red hair.

Shanks’s Mother Is Very Important

  • Shanks is the son of Saint Garling Figarland
  • Shanks’s mother’s true identity is unknown

The 1158th chapter of One Piece has demonstrated significant importance within the narrative, contributing significantly to the storyline. In this flashback, Oda has already unveiled characters like Rocks, Roger, and numerous other legends of the time. However, he is now choosing to shed light on additional individuals, such as Saint Garling Figarland, and importantly, the mother of both Shanks and Shamrock.

They’re named Shanks and Shamrock. — the Red Haired Woman

At first, viewers didn’t anticipate that Shamrock and Shanks’s mom would play a significant role in the story, but once it was revealed that Garling doesn’t sport red hair, her significance dramatically increased. It is evident that both Shamrock and Shanks inherited their red hair from their mother, making her an integral part of the main plotline.

Currently, fans are aware that she was associated with Shamrock and Shanks in God Valley. Whether she belongs to the Celestial Dragons or is a commoner isn’t yet clear, but it seems plausible that she is just an ordinary woman who had a child with Garling while he was in God Valley. It’s highly probable that she might be a part of the D clan, although this is still a theory, but a strong one indeed.

Shanks’s mother is poised to play a significant role in future events. Fans should recall that he named his crew after her and his nickname is derived from hers too. Everything about Shanks today could be a testament to her, making her an influential character. The details of what happened to her or whether she’s still alive remain unknown, but these mysteries will soon unravel.

Shanks appears to be strongly influenced by his mother, and it’s no secret among fans. It’s only a matter of time before Oda reveals more about their relationship, including what might have happened to her at God Valley, where she may have made a self-sacrificing move.
