How Was Shanks Taken in by Roger?

Shanks is of the Figarland family, which appears to be of high standing among the Celestial Dragons. Saint Garling was heard saying “Watch, children…” 38 years ago at God Valley. Considering his age, Shanks’ extraordinary strength, and noble demeanor, the possibility of him being Saint Garling’s son seems very high.

In the film RED, it’s revealed that the infant Shanks was found in a treasure chest stolen by Roger and his crew from God Valley Island… But why was he in a treasure chest?

Saint Garling definitely brought his children to God Valley. If he brought infants, their mother likely accompanied them to care for the children. This is purely intuitive, but I think Shanks’ mother might have been a woman from the lower classes, like Ginny, who became Saint Garling’s wife.

Also, the possibility that twins were born seems high, but why was only Shanks in the treasure chest? God Valley Island 38 years ago was likely a terrifyingly dangerous battlefield, so perhaps his mother hid him in the chest to protect him from the danger. She might have been trying to flee from Saint Garling in the chaos.

If Shanks’ mother was from the lower classes, she might have influenced Saint Homing, Doflamingo’s father, who suddenly declared himself human and renounced being a Celestial Dragon. I think that, besides simply hiding Shanks, she might have used the chaos to prevent her child from becoming a Celestial Dragon. If both children were twins, she might have tried to do this for both, but was cut down by Garling when he discovered her intentions…

Saint Homing’s reason for declaring himself human hasn’t been revealed, but perhaps Shanks’ mother was involved. In any case, the Five Elders seem to know Shanks is from the Figarland family, so ordinarily, as a father, Saint Garling would want to reclaim Shanks…
