The One Piece manga recently started a flashback focused on Loki, but the narrative has since shifted dramatically to reveal the long-awaited details of the infamous God Valley incident. The previous chapter’s final panel unveiled the birth of the twins, Shanks and Shamrock, along with their mother in the background. While we happily looked forward to meeting Shanks’ mother in One Piece chapter 1159, it may never happen, as the latest chapter reveals a shocking truth about her.
It was disclosed that Figarland Garling met a native woman from God Valley during his visit and conceived twin children with her. The unnamed mother of Shanks and Shamrock never knew the truth about Garling and raised his children, hoping to meet him again soon. Garling returned to the God Valley island to conduct the Native Hunting Competition for the Celestial Dragons.
When Shanks’ mother introduced the twins to him, the despicable leader of the God’s Knight unveiled the harsh truth of the competition. Furthermore, he remarked that he had already made up his mind to get Shakky as his bride. When Shanks’ mother stood in shock, Garling wasted no time as he unsheathed his sword and struck her down in front of their kids without any second thoughts.
Garling was already one of the most hated characters in One Piece since his debut. His cruel actions against Shanks and Shamrock’s mother solidified him as one of the worst fathers and husbands in the One Piece series. Fans who have been patiently waiting to meet Shanks’ mother will never get to see the light forever, thanks to Garling (you deserve the worst!).
In One Piece, most of the mother characters are always destined to meet untimely and tragic ends. We don’t know if Shanks already knows about the tragic death of his mother or is yet to learn the truth about it. But we hope Shanks takes revenge against his degenerate father in the final saga of One Piece. That said, let us know your thoughts about Garling killing Shanks’ mother in the comments below.
