In chapter 1121 of **One Piece**, Dr. Vegapunk's broadcast ends with a dramatic announcement that the fate of the world depends on the first person to obtain the treasure.
The notable final extension of this chapter features the main characters such as the four Yonko, Monkey D. Dragon, Imu, Akainu, Koby, Kuzan, Sabo, and Garling Figarland, along with a mysterious figure wielding a saber-style sword. The identity of this mysterious figure has caused much debate and speculation among the fan community.
This mysterious figure is placed directly opposite Garling Figarland, hinting at a possible connection to the Figarland family or the Revolutionary Army.
Garling is known to be the leader of the Holy Knights, suggesting that this mysterious figure may have connections to a similar organization within the Revolutionary Army. The fact that they are commanded by Monkey D. Dragon further supports this theory, implying that they may have a similar important role as Dragon in the Revolutionary Army.
Adding to the intrigue, some fans speculate that the character may be related to Shanks. Shanks is said to have Figarland blood, possibly having a twin brother or relatives related to the Gorosei and Holy Knights.
This theory is supported by the sword the mysterious figure wields, which looks similar to Shanks' Gryphon. The similarity in sword type and the fact that both Garling and the mysterious figure wield swords contribute to this speculation.
Another notable detail is the way the mysterious figure swings his sword. Unlike Garling, who wears his sword on his left side and draws it with his right hand, the mysterious figure wears his sword on his right side and draws it with his left hand.
This contrast may symbolize rebellion or a departure from the Figarland family's traditions, suggesting the character's complicated relationship with their heritage or current relationship.
This theory also fits into the broader narrative of opposition seen in the work, where characters with conflicting philosophies or roles are placed opposite each other.
If this mysterious figure is indeed related to Shanks and the Figarland family, their unique sword-wielding style may reflect a personal or ideological opposition to Garling and the traditional Figarland style.
