One Piece Sister-sama

The red-haired pirate flag has been modified many times.

A lot of people don't notice this, but there's no way Leah doesn't.

From the laughing skeleton in Windmill Village to the recent ordinary pirate flag.

As well as the ferocious face from the previous meeting, Shanks seems to be ready to face the challenges of the new era.

It was impossible for Shanks not to know about the prophecy of Fish-Man Island when he was on Roger's ship.

Can he find the "Joyboy" who ushered in a new era?

At the risk of offending the World Government, Red Hair led the crew to take the initiative to attack "CP9" and grabbed the rubber fruit that could change the world. No, maybe, it should be called the Nika Fruit.

But, who is the person who can awaken the rubber fruit?

Because of his background, he has long been excluded from this selection.

There were two breakdowns in his life.

One time he injured his eye during a duel with Blackbeard. At that time, he almost thought he was going blind.

This time he remembered the deeply hidden black beard in his heart, and at the same time warned himself that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

One time was when he learned his true life experience.

His collapse can be imagined.

He is actually the descendant of the person he hates the most.

Can his dream still come true?

But the captain didn't mind and told him that you are a child who grew up on the Golden Jackson and a child of the sea. You must be brave to do whatever you want!

To encourage him, the captain also gave him his prized straw hat.

Shanks knew the meaning of this straw hat very well.

Even before that, it was just a hat. To put it more broadly, it was the private property of Roger the Pirate. (Roger had not yet gone to Lovedrew when the hat was given, probably)

But once the straw hat is given to someone else, it becomes a token.

A token of will inheritance.

After getting the rubber fruit, he was very hesitant, and at that time he learned that Captain Roger's child survived, was adopted by Garp, and was hidden in the East China Sea.

At that time, with the attitude of giving it a try, he asked Beckman to inquire about Karp's traces over the years and roughly confirmed the scope.

After Roger's death, he formed the pirate group alone, and then he vaguely realized that he was not suitable.

He felt confused and self-doubt in his pursuit.

Does he really want to be the One Piece?

Isn't true freedom what he has been pursuing?

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

He has always shouldered the mission left to him by the captain, hasn't he?

Why don't you take your time and look for the captain's child? Maybe he will be a more suitable candidate.

When he saw Luffy, he almost thought that Luffy was the captain's child, because Luffy was really similar to the captain in many aspects.

But the age is wrong.

Later he also met Ace, the captain's child.

There are some similarities with the captain, but maybe because of the environment in which he grew up, he is a bit gloomy.

Compared to Ace, he is the child who enjoys all the care of the captain, both he and Bucky.

He had some thoughts at that time, why don't he give the rubber fruit to Ace?

But he prefers Luffy.

Of course he can eat it himself, but... his heart is no longer firm.

While he was struggling, Luffy ate the rubber fruit.

The fruit of the phantom beast will choose its own owner. As a great pirate who has traversed the sea for many years, he knows this very well.

It is God's will.

Later, Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates and was spotted by Whitebeard, who intended to train Ace to become the future Pirate King.

Shanks knew this.

It’s just that Leah was involved in a lot of this.

Even if it weren't for Ace, the old Whitebeard would still add fire to the new era in the end.

But Ace was caught.

It was even more impossible for Whitebeard to stay aloof.

The moment Shanks faced off against Whitebeard, he knew that Leah's plot was half successful.

As powerful as hiss, Shanks seemed to have seen the moment when Whitebeard and Captain Roger faced off twenty years ago.

Although it is not as powerful as it is, it is not far behind.

He didn't seem surprised when he saw the people around him, and he calmed down.

He never asked Leah anything, but that didn't mean he didn't know anything.

The Navy had long planned to take action against Whitebeard, and Ace was just a reason for the two sides to start a war, and a reason for things to blossom.

Whitebeard looked at the powerful and reliable kid in front of him, whom he had not seen for many years.

Telling his guesses about future events, even though he already knew it in his heart.

Whitebeard is the guardian of time.

But he is old and needs someone to take over his duties.

The red-haired kid is a reliable successor, and he already has this awareness when he passes the hat to his chosen one, doesn't he?

Use his last remaining energy to pave the way for these new bloods.

Whitebeard made up his mind.

The two drank in silence, and finally Whitebeard laughed.

It seems that some kind of handover ceremony has been completed.

This was the meeting of the century comparable to a relay race.

Before Roger surrendered, he also invited Whitebeard to drink.

He told Whitebeard everything about D and the world.

Whitebeard loves his family more than the future of the world.

He had made his choice long ago, and now he was fighting the last battle of his life for his family.

He can die, but his children will continue to roam freely on the sea.

Will it be Ace, Marco, or other strangers who will lead them then?

All this is unpredictable.

But as a father, Whitebeard hopes that they can all have a free future.

He represents the old age, and his children are part of the new age.

Shanks finally left with his men.

He now has to keep an eye on Kaido to prevent the ugly dragon stationed on Ghost Island from getting involved with Quinn and others, accelerating the seriousness of the situation.

He now understands better that he must keep an eye on Kaido and other monsters and monsters in the new world.

As long as he does this well, Leah's danger can be minimized.

Everyone is really taken into account.

He now had some unreasonable doubts about Leah's purpose of approaching him.

Although she had long admitted that the overtures in Windmill Village were anything but innocent.

He didn't mind it, but he was still a little sad.

But these thoughts were fleeting, and in the end he couldn't blame her.

Beckman stood beside Shanks, silently.

He is his deputy, and he and Shanks have to bear all risks.

After all, it was the path he chose. No matter what, he had to accompany this man on this journey.

"Boys, let's set sail!" Shanks ordered.

"Yes!" Countless responses came from all over the Red Forth, and he embarked on the path... of his own choosing.
