The brief summary spoilers forOne Piecechapter 1121 have finally hit the internet, and they have introduced a new character who has been silently listening to Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast from Egghead. The character’s identity has been kept a mystery for now, as only a silhouette of the character holding a sword has been introduced in the manga panel.

The only things that have been revealed by the character are that he is a Figarland, which means that he belongs to one of the biggest royal bloodlines of the World Nobles, and he looks like the Emperor of the Sea, Red-Haired Shanks. This has shocked theOne Piecefans, as introducing a character at this point in the story will certainly change a lot of things.

However, the character holding a sword has prompted fans to believe that this character might have something to do with Shanks’ rival inOne Piece: Dracule Mihawk. Fans believe that he might be a part of Mihawk’s past.

Further, the chapter reveals Vegapunk talking about theOne Piecetreasure and the importance it holds for the fate of the world. This revelation prompted reactions from major characters like Imu, Aokiji, Shanks, Buggy, Mihawk, the Revolutionary Army, etc. But along with these characters, there is one other character who is silently listening to the broadcast.

According to the spoilers, this character is someone who looks like another Figarland listening to the broadcast. While only his shadow has been revealed in the panel, theOne Piecefan page @pewpiece on X thinks that this shadow looks a lot like Shanks, but nothing can be said for certain about this mysterious character.

As mentioned above, the only valuable information available about the mysterious Shanks lookalike character is that he is holding a sword, just like the Yonko and Figarland Garling. This proves that the character is a swordsman, and the fact that he is from a noble family makes him a possible enemy of the pirate community inOne Piece.

There is a great chance that the character might be a part of the Holy Knights, the official law enforcers of the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

WhileOne Piecefans link the mysterious character to Mihawk, the interesting thing to notice here is that the character looks a lot like Shanks. This not only makes him an important figure but also fans the flames of the theory aboutShanks having a twinwho could be a member of the Holy Knights.
