Is the Figarland Family in a Rivalry with the Monkey Family? | Regarding Shanks and Luffy

Regarding Shanks and Luffy

The meeting between Shanks and Luffy seems to have been coincidental, and personally, I don’t think Shanks deliberately led Luffy to eat the Devil Fruit. However, Shanks has a fatalistic side…

During the Marineford War, Shanks told Coby, who stopped the battlefield’s movement for a moment, “You’ve changed the fate of the world significantly,” indicating that he is a person who believes in fate…

Fate is something one realizes after the fact, as if it were predetermined. Still, Shanks’s words seem like those of someone who knew about fate beforehand.

Shanks, like Luffy, can see a little into the future, likely due to his Observation Haki. Given Shanks’s scale, he might be able to see further into the future than Luffy…

Perhaps Shanks can see the grand flow of destiny rather than the immediate future. If so, his meeting with Luffy might not have been coincidental but rather a fateful necessity…

Moreover, Shanks seems to know a lot about things unknown to the general public, and as a former crew member of the Roger Pirates, he likely heard the tales from their journey to Laugh Tale. It is unlikely that Shanks is unaware of his own lineage, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he knows something about the Monkey Family.

Shanks openly declares that he will go for the One Piece, which is a declaration of rivalry to Luffy. Additionally, Luffy has promised to surpass Shanks, indicating a rivalry existing before their meeting. Dragon views the Holy Knights as a threat, and among them is a man who appears to be Saint Garling and Shanks’s twin brother…

It seems that the Figarland Family and the Monkey Family are destined rivals due to a peculiar fate, and perhaps Shanks is aware of or knows about this rivalry…

This concludes the introduction of this article. Thank you very much for reading to the end!
