One Piece 1048: Shanks Knows That Gorosei and Kaido Are The Keys To Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening!

Akagami no Shanks in One Piece 1048 was aware from the beginning of the story about the secret of Luffy's devil fruit.

From the facts to One Piece 1048, Shanks knows that Gorosei and Kaido are the key to Luffy's Awakening.

That was the reason why Shanks came to Mariejoa and stopped Kaido when he was about to go to Marineford.

The following is a discussion of One Piece 1048 regarding Shanks' genius in resurrecting Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi model Nika.

The reason the Gorosei found out about Luffy's original devil fruit is still one of the biggest mysteries for fans.

Gorosei is known to first talk about Luffy in chapter 594 by saying that it's no wonder the Straw Hat captain always appears in the news because he is Garp's grandson.

Luffy who always appears in the news at least enough to attract the attention of the Gorosei at that time.

But they didn't see Luffy as a threat worth killing until the Wano Arc.

It shows that the Gorosei before the Wano Arc didn't know the truth about Luffy's devil fruit.

However the only incident related to the Gorosei prior to the Wano Arc was their conversation with Shanks at Mariejoa.

To the point of desperation, they sacrificed one of their best agents to get rid of Luffy by provoking Kaido.

Then the next question, why did Shanks provide such important information to the Gorosei?

Why would Shanks tell "bad" people like them about Luffy's devil fruit's real name?

The only theory and reason that makes the most sense is because Shanks and Roger already know the future of the One Piece world.

As was the case through Oden and Toki with their specific predictions about Joy Boy.

Shanks' knowledge is certainly more detailed than that, he seems to be aware that Gorosei's actions are needed so that Luffy can reach the Awakening level and awaken the power of his Hito Hito no Mi Nika devil fruit.

This was also proven because without the intervention of the CP0 agent who was ordered by Gorosei, Luffy was not hit by Kaido's crushing attack and died for a moment.

And if he doesn't die for a moment, it's likely that Luffy will never awaken his devil fruit power.

This could also be the reason why Shanks intercepted Kaido from coming to Marineford and attacking Whitebeard.

Shanks doesn't want Kaido to die at Marineford because the strongest creature will also be the key to Luffy's resurrection.

As the strongest being, Kaido is considered to be able to corner Luffy to his lowest point and this will be the key to his devil fruit awakening.

That was a leak of One Piece 1048, but this is still a theory based on the clues that Oda has given.

It will be interesting to see what the real reason is Shanks telling Gorosei the secret of Luffy's devil fruit in One Piece 1048 or the next chapters.
