Figarland Shamrock - Blog Posts

The fact I understand THESE SONGS to the bottom of my soul and can totally comprehend how each matches them to an uncomfortable degree 😅🫠🫣

Ya get me?

GIFS after reading this and how I view him now:

Figarland Shamrock is an Otter, an analysis.

With the release (on most major pirating sites) of the newest One Piece chapter, a new character known as Figarland Shamrock was introduced. As One Piece fans are acutely aware, this mans importance to the story is quite vital, being seemingly a twin to Red Haired Shanks, one of the series' most mysterious and popular figures.

However, as I was discussing the latest chapter with a friend, he remarked that this new character had a certain "feminine" quality to him, a sentiment which I shared. However, the details of how he came to this conclusion fascinated me, so I decided to analyze his design and see exactly why exactly it is that this man looks like he belongs in a queer Halloween party.

(Also: YES I am aware that the image says twink and not otter, the people who I discuss one piece with are straight as fuck and do NOT know what an otter is. also i can't rlly add an img id cuz i'm supposed to be doing hw rn. srry >n<)

I'm aware that some of these comments might not be completely accurate, but these are just the things that stood out to me the most.

If you see anything you saw that wasn't listed feel free to add! :D

I know everyone is enamoured with the clean Shanks but it means that everyone's making fanfic of him instead of Shanks and saying how cool Shamrock is and how they like him better and noo stoppp Shanks is the og. His greasiness is his charm not a fault don't fall for evil baby just because he looks cool. People like toxic men too much and i don't because i have a sensitive maiden's heart

this was not the plan

y'know when you make a plan and you're about to execute that plan but then stuff happens and all of sudden you have to upload doodles instead of a finished drawing?

Yeah, me neither. Didn't draw art for it, but Chapter 1138 murdered me. It was so beautiful. I love One Piece so much

The Holy Knights get more and more interesting with each chapter! Honestly, I'm loving them as antagonists!

I have more questions about Gunko every time she appears because so many things about her don't seem to add up. She is the only Holy Knight who has not received the title of World Noble or had her family name introduced (she also does not have a Saint in her name, but neither does Shamrock). She's also the only "celestial dragon" we've seen who has the power of a devil fruit (and we know from Hancock's story that they despise devil fruits), her uniform is very different from the others, and her eyes having different colors seems like it's going to be important in some way. Her powers are very similar to Imu's aesthetically, so I don't think it's a coincidence that she is the one who summons the "abyss" (the pentagram "portal"). Also, her name means "army child", which may imply that she was recruited (perhaps as a child) and trained to be part of the Holy Knights.

Kiringham being introduced in his hybrid form immediately catched my attention. Does his normal appearance reveal some kind of secret about him? He's the only Holy Knight introduced so far who wears the same bubble on his head as the other World Nobles, and the one he wears even appears to have something to help him breathe, so it's possible he has some sort of respiratory illness, or was only recently recruited, so he may have never actually left the Holy Land, which would explain why he was so nervous about being late even though he was already dressed and transformed. Personally, I feel like he could be quite young? As I said, he seems to be very nervous and curious about Elbaph, which probably means he has never been outside of Mary Geoise, and the bubble could be to prevent him from being corrupted by the air from the “filthy world”, also, the way he talks reminds me a bit of a teenager, but that could just be the translation I read.

Having a Holy Knight from one of the Gorosei's family is really exciting, and I hope this helps us answer some questions about the elders. Sommers also seems to be the oldest of the four, and it's the first to take responsability after finding out that Shamrock needs to go back to Mary Geoise, so he probably has been a Holy Knight for a very long period before the current time. He's also the first person we see actually concerned about the food thing in the Holy Land (which is kind of crazy, but okay).

And I don't even need to start talking about the whole Shamrock situation.

Also, the fact that Sommers so casually asked if Shamrock and Gunko were visiting Harald's grave is pretty weird. Like, we know what World Nobles are like, why would they care about Harald? He wasn't even affiliated with the government (and they wouldn't care about him either if that were the case), so why would they travel such a great distance just to see his grave? Why is this a possibility?? Was Harald also a Holy Knight? That's the only way I can see it being reasonable. We can see from their interactions in this chapter that the Holy Knights seem to get along pretty well, so two of them visiting the grave of a deceased colleague would make sense. This could explain why they tried to recruit Loki specifically and not another insanely powerful individual, since he would be the son of a former member, and we know how much they care about bloodlines.

Their designs are so good I almost forgot they are horrible people

So I just realized everyone's horny for Shanks' evil twin except me. I have never felt more like a lesbian than I do now
