The Future of Dark King Rayleigh | ONE PIECE Chapter 1117+ Analysis

The Future of Dark King Rayleigh | Is Shanks the Same as Teach?

Is Shanks the Same as Teach?

It’s clear that Shanks has the bloodline of the Celestial Dragons, which raises the possibility that he’s on the side of the Celestial Dragons. However, it’s unlikely that Shanks holds the Celestial Dragons in high regard or considers them just.

Therefore, I don’t believe Shanks would become an enemy of Luffy in that sense. However, Shanks does view Teach as a significant threat and enemy. Shanks probably knows about Teach’s unique lineage, and it’s likely that Teach is aiming to become the “King of the World.”

Perhaps Shanks also harbors the ambition or dream of becoming the King of the World. Teach’s actions suggest that obtaining the One Piece is crucial for becoming the world’s ruler, as are the Ancient Weapons. It feels as though Shanks decided to pursue the One Piece in response to Teach’s movements and after confirming Luffy’s growth.

Shanks might have some reason why he cannot defeat Im-sama himself, deciding to leave that task to Luffy while settling things with Teach, with the ultimate goal of becoming the sole ruler of the world. Shanks, being a pirate, likely has grand ambitions, and even though he appears disinterested in power, he may still have big dreams.

If Shanks becomes the ruler of the world, it would likely be a better place for the people than if Teach were to take that role. Shanks doesn’t seem like someone who would settle for being just a background figure to Luffy. If Shanks, like Teach, is aiming for the throne, it would make sense given their history.

Rayleigh might be aware of this and could be observing with interest as Shanks, whom he considers like a son, pursues his destiny. While Rayleigh may not step back into the spotlight, he seems content to watch the younger generation take the stage.

However, Vegapunk’s revelations might attract the attention of the World Government, potentially sending assassins after Rayleigh. Despite Rayleigh’s silence over the years, the fact remains that he knows the truth, which makes him a potential threat.

The World Government might see Rayleigh’s knowledge as dangerous, regardless of his current stance. Perhaps the Revolutionary Army could even step in to protect Rayleigh.

That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading!
