TLDR;
This video explores the theory that Shanks intentionally avoided recruiting Devil Fruit users in his crew to facilitate the future acquisition of One Piece. Shanks's experience on Roger's crew, which also lacked Devil Fruit users, and Buggy's negative reaction to accidentally eating a Devil Fruit, support this idea. The video suggests Shanks prioritized Haki users to easily claim One Piece when the time is right.
- Shanks's crew lacks Devil Fruit users due to his knowledge of One Piece.
- Roger's crew also didn't have Devil Fruit users, hinting at a connection.
- Buggy's anger at accidentally eating a Devil Fruit supports the theory.
- Shanks may have recruited only strong Haki users to claim One Piece easily.
Shanks's Crew and Devil Fruits [0:00]
The video begins by questioning why Shanks's crew doesn't have any Devil Fruit users, pointing out that Shanks could have easily regrown his arm with a Devil Fruit like Kuan's. However, he chose not to, and the video suggests an interesting reason behind this decision. Shanks spent his childhood on Roger's crew and knew about One Piece from the start.
Roger's Crew and One Piece [0:12]
The video highlights that no one on Roger's crew had a Devil Fruit, suggesting a possible connection to the world's greatest treasure, One Piece. There's a strong possibility that Shanks knew about One Piece and its requirements from his time with Roger.
Shanks's Recruitment Strategy [0:23]
The video proposes that Shanks recruited only the strongest Haki users to easily claim One Piece whenever he wanted. This recruitment strategy aligns with the idea that Devil Fruit powers might hinder the process of finding or claiming One Piece.
Buggy's Reaction to Devil Fruit [0:30]
The video uses Buggy's reaction to accidentally eating a Devil Fruit as further support for the theory. Buggy was consistently angry at Shanks for being responsible, realizing that eating the fruit might prevent him from finding One Piece. This reaction underscores the potential disadvantage of having Devil Fruit powers in the quest for One Piece.
