Shiki being the lurking legend just adds up too well

[RiftWalker]

Still waiting for Mad Monk Urouge to show in OP as we last saw him before wano and the reverie begins, we've seen all of the worst generation since then. He's slept on too much.

Edit: wew over 500 likes, you all are wild, thanks a million ✌️🙏

[xemnadicaxolando]

It might also be the one pirate Shanks wanted to talk about to the Gorosei... Blackbeard was already an issue, Buggy was good meme, and Luffy didn't really fit. But if the lurking legend was really moving stuff in the background, that'd be something to bring up. Especially since Shiki is like a Shanks foil. According to some theories Shanks' territory is mostly underwater currents he uses to move around faster than he should, Shiki in contrast cant outright fly, so he would be always out of Shanks' reach and force him to bring the Elder Stars' attention on that pirate.

[wakuseimoe]

The timeline does fit with the 20 years. You had Roger's execution 20 years before Luffy sets out to sea and then 3D2Y happens, which lines it up with Shiki's escape 2 years after Roger's death. It could explain the floating ships and crews with the worst generation when they entered the New World. It's not hard to believe that Shiki would keep tabs on his former crewmates after he hears of them being named emperors. He could've planted Gang Bege and Appoo in their respective crews. It would make sense especially if Shiki retains his style shown in Strong World, having half his men dress like mafia and keeping a party-like atmosphere around him outside.

[ricsydawn]

If that’s the case, could it be said that Shanks went to talk to Five Elders about Shiki ?

[shapalapa]

the shrine is actually a kite. Oda said it in one of the Q&A in the manga

[GoatAmv]

Oda could always change the character design since the movie wasn't canon. If that guy in the cover story IS Shiki, then he's much smaller than in the movie already. I think the reveal would pack more of a punch if the character looked and acted differently to distinguish the canon and non-canon Shiki.

[lautarodimarco]

Uhm actually, he wasn't the only one who escapes alone. Morley, commander of the revolutionary army, also escaped alone, creating level 5.5 in the process. The thing is that nobody found out, not even Ivankov who took over level 5.5 AND is Morley's commrad

[RyuuBushido]

This could indeed turn out to be a Kaguya-like string-pulling situation (Naruto). The difference is that Shiki was always there, even though we don't know a lot about him, we know him. This theory is plausible and I'm sure Oda would come up with something crazy to tie everything up.

[davidhenry]

I have always been in the comments with the 'shiki is plotting a ridiculous comeback' speculation, for years now. Finally. I typed somewhere he is the reason that giant landmass sucked up capone and got him to infiltrate big mom. And that the 20 years plan, will commence. Finally someone is bringing this up.//// Although I never imagined Bartolomeo and Bon Clay might be in it too, I know that's speculation, but if true, the thrown wars will rev up excopentially. I mean when Doflamingo asked "Who will betray who" he was spitting

[scommadeus]

I loved his DF ability I’d be happy to see him during the final saga

[patricija]

Dude was mentioned in chapter 530(february 2009)

The movie Strong World came out in December 2009

It's most likely that Shiki was born for that Movie (just like Shanks appeared in Wano for film RED)

It's more likely Shiki is never seen again than appearing during this series finale.

[MrBurns-xzni]

This is a great theory. When you consider that Shiki planned was strategically for 20 years in the future coincide with Toki and Roger timeline. Toki by knowing to send them to the present time and Roger knowing he was to early and at this present time something would happen. This theory would also fill in how Kaido had the knowledge and info he had if Shiki told him.

[hikaruyuugure]

If you're right Shiki is the character type that was missing. A pirate that intends not to find one piece but steal it from whomever does. Just as he attatcked roger and goes for the ancient weapons to gain power well enabling others to find the one piece. Leaving whitebeard and shanks be hoping they go grab it. Well enabling big mom and kaido with parts of the map to it. The goal of Rocks was not to find a treasure but to take a crown. Not to create or find but to steal.

[iRelax]

Shiki was hilarious! The dancing and bad puns are more than welcome back!

[JPValoo]

In the Road to Laugh Tale four "chapters" released at the end of wano, Shiki's blades are mentioned by name (and grade), but not his devil fruit. It could have been a mistake by Oda, but we all know that is very unlikely... The thing is, in Chapter 0 he says the name of his blade but in no circumstance is the Fuwa Fuwa no mi mention by that name, only it's power is shown. The Fuwa Fuwa no mi gets that name from the film

[Nightsu]

If Shiki masterminded all of that then my mind would be blown. Thats like 20 years of scheming when he just could have brute forced the poneglyphs easier from the people he was controlling.
If this all comes around to Shiki being the pirate that Shanks wanted to talk to the Gorosei about 🤯

[beniron]

I for the longest time thought that Wet-Haired Caribou has been referring to Black Beard as the guy he wants to give info 2. But after a while I started thinking that he may actually be talking about Shiki. Especially since Blackbeard seemed to already know or have little need for the "info" he was collecting.

[sajalgarg]

His observation and explanation makes our one piece better 👍🏻

[santiagovillarreal]

Yes, a lot of things that Oda draws have a hidden meaning, but I think the fact that he already used Shiki as the main villain for a non-canon film is pretty straight forward.
