I think Bad Shanks was the one who actually killed former King Harald, and not only framed Loki, but did something to him to make him talk as if he was truly bloodthirsty, and when the Good Shanks rolled up he helped in apprehending Loki. This also in turn can explain why Loki has such a massive distaste for Shanks. If you notice the back ground where the Bad Shanks teleported to you can clearly see it's the throne room, and it has a massive slash mark on the throne, caused by who ever killed King Harald, and this Bad Shanks managed to not only teleport to Elbaf, but exactly in front of the throne. We also know for sure Elders can travel between places 1 Elder is, or HAVE been such is the case with Mars since he was able to travel back to Mary Geoise after being sent off flying.

Here’s the thing about the clone.

But it was never stated or implied that this clone can’t connect to Punk Records or that it’s knowledge is 20 years behind.

One thing people always overlooked was why the govt wanted vegapunk to work on clones. Plenty of other scientists could make clones . But only vp could figure out how to remove their will. Personally i think the govt have always wanted to make clones of powerful people . And that way they could control them by raising them from a young age and indoctrnate them but when that didnt work it caused problems for the govt . Shanks is an example of one that got away from them and developed his own way from his own experiences And like splitting an atom . When you remove a will from a person you get the mother flame . Insane anounts of energy . This is why vegapunk had a mother flame . It was created from kumas will And this my friends is what joyboy disagreed with the ancient kingdom over . To have this nuclear energy which is the motherflame you basically have to sacrifice people , giving up their dreams and futures which have UNLIMITED potential Also im very convinced imu has the bodies of the 19 orginal kings/queens and thats how he can give powers to other people .

My only problem with this idea is that it might be difficult to get a satisfying end with consolidating the new giant philosophy and the old ways.

What if those two Holy Knight's are sent to Elbaf because someone snitched on the Ohara books being there? That storyline could potentially lead to them trying to destroy Elbaf and maybe in the process Loki could ask Luffy to free him so that he can protect his island as he is the heir to the throne and with that we could see Luffy and Loki teaming up as the "Godly Duo", also something I want to add is that womanly figure we see with Shanks' twin seems a little nervous or kinda disturbed about perhaps their mission while Shanks' twin is locked in. I'm talking about her eyes btw, if it wasn't clear.

[@xstunners188]

'seems a little a nervous' my ass, she looks more locked in.

[@lehonouredone]

@@xstunners188 Maybe but to me how her eyebrow looks indicates more nervousness than serious locked in mode. On a second thought after checking it for the 4th time maybe not nervousness but there is definitely some emotion behind those eyes that is not locked in serious mode.

Ruffy's opening panel shows he knows the etiquette of warrios who cherish honor. I wonder if that "noone" that taught him was chained to a giant tree.

[@NineHundredDollarydoos]

Something interesting is that when Ripley was talking about King Harald's values of trade instead of warfare, it sounds almost identical to what the giant elders thought Mother Carmel's values were in Big Mom's flashback. I wonder if it was just him being inspred by her, or if one of her homies was still around, pulling the strings.

[@Toazter.]

I wonder how they were able to get to Elbaph without someone summoning them. Saturn had to summon the other elders.

[@Deode-d4h]

It could be that it's like a Minato from Naruto situation, where there's some kind of talisman in place but hidden. I wouldn't be surprised if Shanks or his twin brother either rolled up alone or impersonated him with a decent disguise and set some kind of teleportation thing then just left.

[@samnaamee6405]

Saturn landed form the ship on the actual Egg-head island via a circle on his own. Maybe for shorter distances, they can teleport themselves. Or it could not be precise without one of them already present at the location that can summon.

[@Toazter.]

@@Deode-d4hyeah, maybe. I don’t think one of them showed up first since they were both in the center of the circle so a talisman seems very possible.

Im willing to put a few bucks down that we're going to see a younger vegapunk stella come out of that cloning machine looking excatly like Eustass Kid

[@RoyDavis-e2t]

The Egghead handling of death makes sense. Vegapunk thought a lot about the concept of death. Of course Vegapunk would find multiple ways to survive his own death. Though that doesn’t mean he will be exactly the same.

[@seephreepsychee]

I don't agree with this narrative that it wasn't already obvious that vegapunk was going to come back due to clones or replaceable body parts. In 1075(towards the beginning of egghead) Atlas even says that she can change her face and body however she wants as Robin looks at lab grown organs and chopper freaks out because he thought they were dismembered bits of Vegapunk. You silly KZbin man with your funny words. I completely agree that Oda does cheat deaths way too much of course.

I swear there is a small blurb somewhere, at sometime, that said something like this: during God Valley, Garland took one kid with him and put the other kid in a chest (that chest ended up with Roger).

[@endertronicinc.7463]

Now it feels like loki's deal was foreshadowing not for luffy to free him, but for frank and/or his associates to, and then offer to eliminate the straw hats for them

[@furorteutonicus9045]

All Vegapunk does is put his “soul“ into another clone. The same thing he already did with the other 6 clones. I think Oda made it very clear that „“death“ means something totally different for Vegapunk. Clones, souls, Punk Records, all the dialogue that hinted at it (especially Mars asking himself what death even means to VP looking at his huge brain). So this is not a fake-out death situation at all. This is a matter of reading comprehension.

[@MrXQAZPLMX]

> This is a matter of reading compression. No, it's not. No one's arguing it's inconsistent, or it doesn't make sense. People argue that oda writes characters to have a moment of sacrifice or a death scene have charecters in the story acknowledge and then proceeds to reveal to the audience that they've been alive all along and negate the impact the sacrifice has on people. Let me ask you why did Stella even mention if you see this I'm probably dead was during his speech when he knew he could have been revived with his spare clone in elbaf? Was he just beening manipulative jerk in this speech?

[@Mario-ll7lf]

​@@MrXQAZPLMXYou are acting like when recorded the speech he knew that Luffy and his crew will save him. If it wasn't for the straw hats Egghead was destroyed anyway. Now, you will say I am defending Oda 😂😂

Well they were only "defeated" by ancient Haki and timeout. So they are still a threat. The combined power of luffy and giants couldn't do shit againts them

Oda didn't show the scar side. I figure it is Figarland Garling's circle and it has a specter of shanks in it. We don't see him talking to Frank directly.

[@pdstomo]

1:03 I say he got it from Jinbei when he made the same gesture before the Onigashima Raid.

[@GASA1997]

If shanks is a twin that might actually help explain why he was found by Roger. I could totally see the celestial dragons and/or Garling himself just being like “Two of them? I don’t need two, dispose of one!” Then they just put a baby in a box and left it.

We thought it was strange to see Shanks, of all people, talking to the Gorosei back in 2018. The Reverie was new, the “empty throne” and Imu were newly introduced, and, most important, Sanji was back on board the Sunny as master chef (right where he belongs). So now, over six years later, having it confirmed it was NOT Shanks but a Figurland lookalike in that chamber?! Mind blowing. Makes me wonder what this holy knight and his lady friend have in store for Elbaph.

My favorite idea for a further twist: This Shanks twin also has a claw scar over his other eye. But he got this scar on purpose to be able to frame Shanks for whatever the Gods Knights want, as well as serving as an excellent bonus for espionage into any country allied with Shanks
