A piece of chapter 1158 finally reveals why Shanks could meet Gorosei

The five elders, also commonly known as Gorosei, are some of the most powerful and influential individuals in all A bit. Only a handful of characters have ever had the opportunity to meet these evil rulers personally, so it's always a huge surprise when someone can sit down with them, even just for a quick chat, but this is something that Shanks could achieve back during the reverence. At that time, many fans were understandably puzzled by how exactly such a powerful Yonko could participate in a relaxed discussion with the members of the World Government, but thanks to the latest Manga chapters, the reasoning for this meeting begins that takes place much clearer.

Shanks has been a central focus recently in A bit Manga, with fans who learn much more not only about his upbringing, but also his parenting. These sudden revelations have helped to bring Shank's broader influence on the world, especially with regard to Gorosei, who seemed more than happy to talk to Red-Hair Pirate Captain hundreds of chapters and sections ago.

Shank's birthplace is revealed

The legendary pirate was born on a very special island

• Shanks was not born long before the good Valley incident

• It is implied Roget took him away in the midst of all the fighting

• He could have followed his brother's footsteps

In Chapter 1158 in A bit Manga, Oda finally reveals the birthplace for not only Shanks, but also his brother, Shamrock, and it turns out to be none other than good Valley. Although the God Valley incident, which involved Roger and Garp who collaborated to take down the cliffs, has been shown in flashes here and there, it seems that the story will show the battle in its entirety very soon, but even if everyone is aware of fighting, no one expects shanks to actually be born on the exact island at about the same time.

What is important to focus on is the fact that Shanks was born on the island 39 years ago, which means he would still have been a child when the chaotic struggle between stones and his opponents officially started. Therefore, many fans suspect that this is probably how a young Shanks ended up on Roger's crew in the first place, as it seems very likely that the future Pirate King wanted to protect the boy whom he found hidden in a treasure chest.

When taking into account that Shamrock would continue to become a loyal servant to IMU and the world government, it seems that ODA indicates that this path was also intended for Shanks, until he was hovered by the legendary pirate that took him under his wing. This would begin to explain why Gorosei seemed much more accepting with a meeting with Shanks than any other pirate, considering traveling on the pirate copying was potentially not his choice to begin with, but there is another reason why the captain of redhead pirates could open this meeting.

Shank's father is very influential

Garland is now a member of the five elders after the Saturn was killed

• His prestigious position reflects on his son

• Damage Shanks would not be a wise idea by Gorosei

• Shank's status as a member of the Garling Family earns him a place in Mary Geoise

It was not long ago that fans were first introduced to a dangerous group of agents known only as the holy knights, but the one who led this group for most of his life was actually Shank's own father, Figarland Garling. Although he was a parent of one of the most influential pirates in the world, Garling has remained a loyal access to IMU and the world government at large, to the point where he was even chosen to become one of the five elders after the Saturn was killed because of his failures at Egghead.

When you acknowledge how high the social steps Garling actually is, it is safe to assume to get any harm to his son to end up putting a wedge between him and the other elders. On the other hand, considering how prestigious Garling the family is actually among the world's nobles, it means that even if Shanks is a pirate, he would still technically deserve to enter Mary Geois because of his status alone.

It is important to remember that the Marine Soldiers and the World Government are not against interacting with characters just because they are pirates, which were seen when they decided to take control of the warlords of the sea. Shanks may not be a warlord, but his father is a very influential member of the world government, so by default it means that he must also be treated with some respect by his elderly.

Shamrock has served the government's trust

Perhaps gorosei sees the same potential in his brother

As if revealing one of Shank's family members was not already large enough of a surprise, under the Elbaph arch, Oda also revealed Shank's older brother, Shamrock, who is currently working as a holy knight. These absurd powerful individuals work directly under IMU, which means that many marines are not even aware of their existence, given that they tend to work in the shadows when dealing with a significant threat.

As revealed in Chapter 1158, Shamrock, along with Shanks, was born on God Valley, although unlike his brother he decided to follow his father's way to become someone that the world government could trust. Shamrock has proven its ultimate loyalty to IMU and the five elders, and although Shanks are seen as the more rebellious of the two, it is understood that perhaps Gorosei thought they could also influence Shanks to join the rest of his family to become a tool for IMU and his evil system.

The entire conversation between Shanks and Gorosei was never completely revealed, so the fans will have to wait and see if the elders were desperate after trying to get Shanks on their side during the discussion. Whatever the case, it has become obvious that Shank's relatives, along with his prestigious status, went a long way to give him green light to talk to Gorosei directly; Something that most pirates would never be lucky enough to achieve during their lifetime.
