In the concluding moments of chapter 1134 of One Piece, viewers witnessed a colossal bolt of black lightning striking a castle in Western Elbaf Village. Inside this castle, an enormous summoning circle began to take shape, enveloped by tremendous flames. This circle bore a striking resemblance to one previously seen during the Egghead Island Arc, where it was utilized by the Five Elders against characters like Luffy and Vegapunk. Unlike before, no Elder emerged from this circle in the latest instance. Instead, Oda depicted two shadowy figures, whose identities remained unclear initially. However, as the chapter drew to a close, a character resembling Shanks appeared, while another sported a bandaged face. It was eventually revealed that this pair were the same individuals who had met the Five Elders in One Piece chapter 907 years ago, and at that time, fans believed they were encountering Shanks himself.

Initially, many viewers believed Shanks to be a traitor secretly aligned with the World Government. However, it has since become apparent that this wasn’t actually Shanks, but his twin brother who appears to work for the World Government. While Shanks’s brother was the main focus of the chapter, the woman accompanying him also seems equally captivating.

It’s regrettable that she was with Shanks, as she would have been a hot topic among fans if not. Nevertheless, her significance will not be overlooked in this context, and uncovering her real identity along with her intentions is definitely a conversation worth having.

Who Is The Mysterious Woman?

Elbaf’s Mysterious Woman Is A Member Of The Holy Knights

Currently, fans aren’t certain about the identity of the enigmatic woman. What they do know is that she dons a hooded cloak and half her face is concealed by bandages. Her hair appears short, with a section obscuring one eye. The visible eye captures the attention of fans, yet not much else can be discerned from her appearance. The bandages on her face could either hide a scar or a formidable jaw that she might use in fights. It’s challenging to determine the reason for the bandages, but they often suggest an injury, implying she may have been scarred at some point. Her look is captivating, but it’s her role in the story that has fans hooked. At this juncture, it remains unknown what part she plays in Elbaf. However, it’s clear that Oda has left behind hints about her character.

For one, more attention needs to be turned towards her lineage. After all, she might just be Shanks’s sister. This idea might seem to be a bit too far-fetched to the fans, but so was the idea of Shanks having a brother up until a week ago. There is absolutely no denying the fact that Shanks could have more than just one sibling. After all, St. Garling did not exactly specify how many children he had. All fans knew was that he has more than just one child, which certainly gives more credence to the idea that Shanks might have a sister as well. The fact that she travels with this Shanks’s look-alike certainly does add more fuel to the fire. Perhaps, these are two siblings, and both of them are related to Shanks by blood. This would certainly make the story more exciting, because it would add a lot of depth to the Figarland family, and the dynamic with Shanks would then be developed further.

Additionally, this new character could offer the author an exceptional opportunity to delve deeper into the intricacies of the Figarland clan’s members. While the Shanks and Garling share similar appearances and are portrayed as villains, this enigmatic hooded figure could be further explored and developed into a multi-dimensional and complex character, similar to Reiju from the Vinsmoke family. This prospect undoubtedly piques the interest of fans.

It’s possible that this character might belong to one of the other Celestial Dragon families we haven’t encountered yet, considering only half of them have been introduced in the story so far. Since it’s expected that Oda will present more Celestial Dragons in the future, this could be a hint towards that development. She could very well be from any other Celestial Dragon family and part of the God’s Knights, similar to Shanks’s look-alike. Given that the God’s Knights are an order of celestial dragons, it wouldn’t be surprising if she was one as well.

Why The Mysterious Woman Needs More Attention

The enigmatic female character from Elbaf deserves more scrutiny since she seems to be a part of the God’s Knights and her power is truly awe-inspiring. It’s worth noting that she will undoubtedly stir things up within the land of Elbaf, possibly giving greater dimensions to the Celestial Dragons, regardless of her affiliation with the Figarland family. Fans should definitely stay tuned for this character, and while Shanks’ brother might be grabbing everyone’s attention, she promises to illuminate the storyline in various ways too.
