In a twist that no fan expected, Oda revealed a Shanks lookalike who suddenly appeared on Elbaf at the end of the chapter.

This character is going to be absolutely huge in this arc, and fans will be eager to see what role he continues to play and how Oda sets him up as the main villain of the Elbaf Arc. Of course, not much is currently known about why this character appeared in Elbaf in the first place, but it is clear that there are already hints in the story.

How did Shanks' twins get to Elbaf?

• Shanks' twin used the summoning magic circle.

• The goal is to find someone

Shanks' twins made their first appearance in the story. one piece Of course, fans at the time had no idea that this wasn't actually the Shanks they always saw. Fans simply assume that Shanks met the Five Elders and wanted to talk about a specific pirate. But after one piece In episode 1134, it became clear to fans that the person who actually met the Five Elders was none other than Shanks' twin, and not the actual Yonko himself. This clears up a lot of confusion among fans and at the same time paints a better picture of Shanks in their heads. More importantly, it sets up some interesting things for the Elbaf arc, which is clearly lacking a major villain. in one piece In episode 1134, fans finally got to see the main antagonists of the arc, and they appeared right at the very end. While the Giants were preparing a large banquet in the village of Elbaf, a huge black lightning struck the western part of the village, inside the Giant's Castle.

I want to tell you about some pirates! – Shanks’ twin

Fans could see a huge summoning circle suddenly appear, and the circle was surrounded by flames. Two mysterious figures emerged from this circle, both wearing hooded clothing. In the last panel of the chapter, fans were able to see that these people were none other than Shanks' likeness and a woman with her entire face covered in bandages. Just by looking at the summons, you can tell whether it belongs to the government, was sent by one of the five elders, or was sent by Lee Mu. It's also clear that they exist to wreak havoc on Elbaf, something Oda himself teased. In Oda's Jump Festa message, he made it clear that Elbaf is a laid-back country that has enjoyed peace for some time, but that this peace will be shattered by the emergence of a certain individual. Of course, this was a reference to Shanks's counterpart in Elbaf, and things are going to be incredibly exciting going forward.

What is the purpose of the Shanks twins coming to Elbaf?

Shanks' twins are looking for Lupine or Loki.

Now that Shanks' twin is already on Elbaf, fans are definitely wondering why he's there in the first place. The first thing fans should keep in mind is that Oda specifically chose Shanks' twins to appear in the country this time around. He could have appeared on any other day, but the fact that he showed up at this specific time means that it is related to Elbaf's recent changes. There is only one thing that has changed in this country, and that is that certain individuals have arrived there. This person is none other than Luffy. So it's a very good guess that Shanks' twin is there to deal with Luffy. Maybe the reason the government wants him to deal with Luffy is because he's that strong. It should be remembered that Saturn was executed by Imu in the Egghead Arc for failing to prevent Nika's escape. Imu wants Nika gone at all costs, which may be why this Shanks-like figure was sent to the countryside.

The goal may be to eliminate Straw Hat Luffy and somehow successfully escape the island.

Why did you let Nika escape, Saturn? – Imu

This is a huge possibility, but another possibility exists. Besides Luffy, there is only one other person who resembles Shanks and could be the reason he came to Elbaf. This man is Loki himself. Fans know that Loki is a very dangerous individual and someone on whom the world's governments have placed a special bounty. His power is flawless, and the fact that he wields the legendary Devil Fruit makes him doubly special.

A Shanks lookalike could potentially be looking for Loki, either because he has a special Devil Fruit or because he poses a threat to the world's government, as evidenced by his special bounty. Between Luffy and Loki, fans know the government officials will have their hands full, which also makes for an incredibly exciting battle later on in Elbaf.

How Shanks' Twins Set Up Elbaf's Ragnarok

A major war is about to break out in Elbaf.

As things stand, Shanks' twin is accompanied by a woman who may be a member of the Knights of God. It's no exaggeration to say that these two are very strong and could even fight alongside Luffy and Loki. But they can never win here alone. If the situation is like this, they will have to fight against the Giant Warrior Pirates, the New Giant Warrior Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and even Loki. Since these factions are too powerful for any kind of fight, their roles will be slightly different. They are there to look for someone in particular or to convey a message from someone without incurring the wrath of others. Whatever they want, fans know that they can't get things done the way they want and that they will have to either attack with the message that Elbaf is not willing to cooperate or be forced to return to the world government.

This could lead to attacks on the country from the government, and could even be seen using the ancient weapon Uranus. This could be how Ragnarok of Elbaf begins, threatening the entire nation from top to bottom. Luffy and the others must protect their country, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see it come true.
