[Chapter 1134 Spoilers] There‘s a pirate I need to talk to you about
With the revelation that Shanks might have a twin brother and that this mysterious figure has now arrived at Elbaf, it’s time to revisit that older panel featuring Shanks’ possible twin meeting with the Gorosei.
Who could this pirate really be that Shanks’ twin was talking about?
It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that Shanks’ twin met with the Gorosei—likely to discuss someone or something important—before heading to Elbaf. But the question remains: who was he talking about?
I don’t think it was Blackbeard or Luffy. At the time of the meeting, there was no indication that either of them was tied to Elbaf. Blackbeard’s current movements and goals are centered elsewhere, and Luffy’s journey to Elbaf wasn’t yet on the radar. This suggests the twin’s focus was on someone already at or heavily tied to Elbaf.
Shanks Himself: What if Shanks’ twin mentioned his own brother during that meeting? If so, the Gorosei might already see Shanks as a wildcard or even a potential threat, despite his usual diplomacy. The twin could have sought permission to act against Shanks, possibly to challenge his influence or prevent him from interfering in whatever major event is unfolding in Elbaf. This would also explain the secrecy of the meeting—because targeting Shanks is no small move.
Saul: Another possibility is that the twin was referring to Saul, whose survival poses a major threat to the World Government. If Saul has uncovered new truths about the Void Century and the ancient weapons, it would make sense for Shanks’ twin to prioritize eliminating him. By heading to Elbaf, where Saul is likely hiding, the twin could be on a mission to silence him before he reveals too much to Luffy or others.
Loki: Finally, the twin might have been speaking about Loki, the Prince of Elbaf. Loki’s power and influence over the giants could play a pivotal role in the balance of power in the world. If the twin sees Loki as a key ally or obstacle, it would explain why he sought the Gorosei’s approval to act. Perhaps he’s looking to manipulate Loki into an alliance—or remove him altogether if Loki stands in the way of his plans.
Each of these possibilities adds layers to the mystery surrounding Shanks’ twin and his motives.
