Yeah, Cavendish also has those rings when he looses control and goes to sleep.

Wonder if it's related to swordsmen?

Robin and Olivia do.

Robin's made that eye during an expression

Not the same cloths.

2)

"It is Reverie. Given who you are, these politics are not for you. But given who you are, we will give you the time of day."

Yes you can interpret that in different ways, but it can't be denied it's quite contrasting with the Gorosei in this chapter bowing down to Ym, refer to him as -sama and acknowledge he has the absolute power to control the flow of the world.

As I said the only way, at least I can think of, to explain this, is if Shanks has a schizophrenic tendency that's even worse than that of Bruce Banner where you have one one side the infamous easygoing Yonkou and on the other side the divine being that rules the world.

Like Diavolo and Doppio from JoJo

because those are the first images that pop up. Why did you use an anime scene in your sig instead of a manga panel?

That doesn't mean anything. Anime always has fillers in it. Use manga scans to compare. And what does his Sig have to do with anything? Its a gif for crying out loud. Sometimes I think you post stupid shit for attention because I hope youre not that stupid.

I am saying Shanks is the guy bowing down to Ym-sama (page 14) not Ym-sama himself

Plot twist: Im is Shanks' second personality and the Gorosei was talking to him, not Shanks

Who says Im's eyes typically look like that? Whenever characters are shocked, angry or menacing, Oda regularly makes it reflect in their eyes. Considering the overall context of the scene were we see Im, you can reason he did the same thing here.

That makes even less sense as you can't see anything of that character and apparently Shanks has been reduced to an errant boy between Im and the Gorosei?

To me it makes more sense considering how Im sama has been portrayed so far also he is not an errant boy between Gorosei and Im-sama just Im-sama

Its actually a theory that ive seen in other forums. Seems that in order to achieve the pinnacle of swordsmanship you have to achieve the ability to control the demon state of cursed swordsmen. And Mihawk is probably one of the few that can actually do it. Cavendish cant, which is why he looses control when he falls asleep. My theory is that Zoro also has it but he cant control it which is why he always has his eye closed, to suppress the swordsman demon.

Some people shouldn't get over hyped over such glare that Im-sama gave at the end of a chapter. It just almost express a serious mood a character been in.

Nobody, you always act like pointing out an item to theorize over constitutes claiming it as fact.

Not whenever, sometimes. Sometimes when characters are angry or shocked they look like that and sometimes they don't look like that.

No one is using the eyes as a fact of anything, we're tossing up possibilities and the best way to find the most plausible is to throw everything out for full consideration.

How has Im than be portrayed exactly and how does that connect to Shanks? The character has appeared in exactly two chapters. We haven't seen more than the silhouette of a long robe and crown and a single eye. We don't know Im's gender, we don't if Im is even an adult. For all we know Im's a kid that has height-issues and is wearing that excessively long robe and crown to appear taller.

Currently Im is a complete enigma and about his servant even less is known other than that he/she exists. He/she appeared in exactly one panel as a distant silhouette from which you can't deduce anything about who he/she exactly is.

Now Shanks is also a rather enigmatic character, however we do know relatively much about him in comparison. We know he's one of the most powerful and recognizable pirates in the world. We know he has been a pirate since he was little and we know he wore Luffy's strawhat since he was young himself and even though not explicitly stated, it's almost certain he was given that strawhat by Roger. We also know from a cover story that not too long ago he was somewhere else with his crew.

So how exactly can a person like that be a submissive servant of Im? And he can't have been in Mary Geoise for very long, so yeah it pretty much comes down to him having only played messenger boy between Im and the Gorosei so far.

Nobody and on one? Yet people are talking about saying that Im is Mihawk or related to Mihawk based on that eye and last time I checked Mihawk's eyes are permanently like that, which is the connection here. Yes it's not like everyone was explicitly saying that, but that was because they were automatically assuming it. Hence I made my comment. Also:

Who says Im's eyes typically look like that? Whenever characters are shocked, angry or menacing, Oda regularly makes it reflect in their eyes. Considering the overall context of the scene were we see Im, you can reason he did the same thing here.

Regularly, sometimes, occasionally, sporadically...it pretty much comes down to the same thing. So you just repeated what I said. The whole reason I added the word "regularly", was to point out that this not always the case, but it isn't uncommon either.

The whole point of my post was to point out that that eye doesn't necessarily looks like that all the time, as that's the primary reason people involved Mihawk, so that people wouldn't stare to blindly on these similarities.

So essentially you just completely repeated what I said...

@B: what???

Also why Shanks can't be Im, based on how he/she has been portrayed...

the problem with Shanks is that it simply doesn't add up. A part of me has always had certain suspicions about him, but Ym was first shown two chapters ago with Luffy's picture in his hand while visiting a locked-up strawhat. Shanks knows Luffy, he was even the one who gave him his famous strawhat, a hat he himself originally wore. Then in the previous chapter we see Shanks in a different outfit having an audience with the Gorosei, who in a very eloquent way said that he should piss off because he's a stinking pirate, but because he's one of the best stinking pirates, they will listen to him. And in this chapter we the Gorosei bowing down to Ym while Ym is wearing again that ridiculously pompous royal outfit from two chapters ago.

It simply doesn't add up. The only way you can explain this, is if Shanks has a level of schizophrenia that even puts Bruce Banner to shame.

Why Shanks can't be Im, based on how he/she has been portrayed.

Why would you bother defending the idea of Shanks could be Im even you yourself see how ridiculous it is?

When did I defend that??? I am saying he isn't Im
