Shanks’ Presumed Evil Twin and His Partner Confront Loki in the Underworld, as the Straw Hats Draw Near
One PieceChapter #1136, “The Land That Awaits the Sun,” continues with the Giants and the Straw Hats celebrating their arrival on the island. The Straw Hats interact with the giants, sharing jokes and insights about the outside world, while Rodo apologizes to them for his earlier actions. He tries to justify his behavior by referencing every giant’s ambition to become like the Sun God, which shifts the conversation in a new direction.
Thegiants begin discussing the Sun God, revealing that the ancient text passed down in Elbaph, Harley, has no definitive interpretation. As a result, some believe the Sun God to be a Savior, while others view him as a destructor. This divide seems to stem from the Sun God’s involvement in the world’s destruction twice in the past, as suggested by the ancient texts. Chief Jarul comments that the belief in the Sun God may have contributed to Loki’s mischievous nature. However, the giants emphasize that Loki is the worst due to the calamity he has caused since his birth.
As the chapter progresses with the giants criticizing Loki, Zoro confronts Luffy about his curiosity regarding Loki, prompting Luffy to reveal his earlier encounter with him. Zoro agrees to help Luffy liberate Loki to know Shanks' whereabouts, but they agree to beat Loki if he turns out to be lying. As they set out on their mission to free Loki, Nami joins them, with Rodo serving as her attendant. As the chapter concludes, the narrative shifts to reveal Shanks' evil twin and his partner, Gunko, who are Holy Knights on a mission to recruit Loki. However, Loki proudly refuses their offer.

Did One Piece Really Have to Take Shanks' Arm? One Theory Suggests So
Shanks allowing the Sea King to take his arm never sat right with fans until the latest reveals of the One Piece manga
Given how eager Luffy is to meet Shanks and hold him in such high regard, he will likely be enraged to see someone with a similar appearance tarnishing his name.

Either way, a clash in this new arc is long overdue, andOne PieceChapter #1137 seems poised to kick off Elbaph’s action-driven narrative that fans have been eagerly anticipating.
