One Piece 1086 Spoiler Reddit: Shanks Figarland is the Leader of the Holy Knights

The figure of Shanks, the Red-Haired, is speculated to be the leader of the Holy Knight forces in the storyline of the One Piece manga.

This speculation arises from new clues that have emerged in the latest spoiler chapter.

The Holy Knights are a group owned by the World Government, which has recently appeared in the story.

They are known to be a secret force of Im and the Gorosei.

The Holy Knights are also known to be a very cruel group. This is based on information that Im has sent them to destroy eight regions that no longer cooperate with the World Government.

However, Oda has not shared much information about the Holy Knights. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that Shanks is the leader of the Holy Knights.

Speculation about Shanks' Identity

Since Oda revealed the silhouettes of the Holy Knights in chapter 1083, many speculations have emerged among fans.

One interesting theory is the possibility of Shanks having a connection with the group.

The biggest clue from various circulating speculations is that the silhouette of one Holy Knight member bears a resemblance to Shanks.

Based on this, various speculations have emerged, such as Shanks being rumored to have a doppelganger. The silhouette is considered to provide "confirmation" for other clues, such as the difference in Shanks' face, where no scars are visible when he meets the Gorosei.

Additionally, how Shanks could enter the Gorosei's chamber is seen as another clue.

Besides the speculation that Shanks has a doppelganger, the silhouette also gives rise to another speculation stating that Shanks is likely a former Holy Knight.

The speculation that Shanks is a former Holy Knight seems reasonable when we consider various factors involving Shanks. For example, his tremendous power displayed during battles.

The fact that Shanks rarely surfaces and always stays under the radar without people knowing is considered as another piece of evidence.

As we know, Shanks is almost never involved in major events or incidents. Instead, he prevents various events from happening.

This is quite different from the other Yonko who actively seek attention from the world.

Shanks as the Leader of the Holy Knights

Regarding the speculation about Shanks having a connection with the Holy Knights, what if he is still a part of that group?

This is revealed in one of the points in the One Piece manga spoiler for Chapter 1086. The spoiler mentions that Saint Mjosgard finally faces the death penalty.

He is known to have attacked Saint Charlos while protecting Shirahoshi and was considered an imminent threat to his life.

The group assigned the task of executing Saint Mjosgard is the Holy Knights.

And according to the point mentioned, the leader of the Holy Knights is known to come from the Figarland family.

For geeks Bwho may have forgotten about the Figarland family, Oda Sensei mentioned that name last year in 2022. That family is related to Shanks.

The fact that Shanks is part of the Figarland family is revealed in the special booklet for the One Piece Film: Red, titled One Piece 4 Billion.

The booklet provides some information about the Red-Haired pirate crew and the origins of Shanks.

It reveals that Shanks was found by Roger and Rayleigh inside a chest while they were at God Valley.

The booklet also discloses that Shanks comes from the Figarland family, which the Gorosei are familiar with.

With all the clues available, the speculation that Shanks has a deep connection with the Holy Knights is likely to be true.

In fact, it's possible that Shanks is the leader of the Holy Knight group in the One Piece storyline. We should look forward to seeing the greatness and power of the Holy Knights in the future plot.
