Every time a new One Piece SBS is released, there are always interesting facts revealed.
The question leading up to this reveal comes from a dialogue that occurred in chapter 1076, in which Lucky Roux said: “Gyahahaha! You’re right, Beck! Who do you think made him angry?”. Oda’s answer was simple but shocking: “Yes, it seems he did! This is a world of pirates, where only the strong remain!”
The new news revealed above is truly shocking for many reasons. First, it is a major turning point in the story that Oda skillfully weaves. Many fans have assumed that it was Shanks, the red-haired Yonko and Haki master, who cut off Kid’s arm. Kid himself always expressed a certain amount of resentment when talking about the red-haired Four Emperors.
Yet it was Benn Beckman who took Kid’s arm, a detail that gave a new perspective on this entire rivalry.
So who is Ben Beckman?
For those who may not remember, Benn Beckman is Shanks’ right-hand man and first mate of the Red Hair Pirates. Not only is he extremely intelligent (he is said to be the smartest person in East Blue) but he is also a skilled marksman and talented commander. Although he is not shown as much as Shanks in the series, his presence always carries an air of authority and strength.

These are questions that fans will surely continue to debate until more information is revealed.
