The recent Elbaph arc has introduced a character whose existence was theorized about since the Reverie : Figarland Shamrock, aka Shanks' twin brother.
Part of the fandom has already sorted him as the "evil twin", Oda's final exploration of the nature VS nurture thematic which began with Dressrosa (the question of Doflamingo's supposed evil nature) then continued with Whole Cake Island.
If we compare Shanks and Shamrock's appearance, they couldn't be more apart : a carefree drunk hobo-looking pirate and a prissy and prim aristocrat.
But the deeper we look at Shamrock’s actual behavior in the new arc, the more it becomes clear he reflects Shanks far more than we initially supposed.
An avoidance of conflict
During his first appearance, Shamrock consistently shows a reluctance to engage in direct violence, opting for alternatives.
Shamrock : "If we spare it, will you change your mind ?"
During his mission, he needs to make Loki join the Holy Knights. He first asks him. Then he tries to negotiate by taking his wolves' hostage. He doesn't show any anger when dealing with Loki's refusal. Celestial Dragons in the series show extreme anger when being denied their demands or being treated with disrespect. Gunko's reaction is more in line with other CD (threatening death).
Shamrock's lack of anger and willingness to kill resembles Shanks’ behavior throughout the series. He is the one who taught Luffy not to use unnecessary violence in Makino's bar.
His expression is again partially hidden.
They cross paths again when Shanks halts the Marineford War.
Shanks' preference for de-escalation is clearly established in the series and is one of his main characteristics as a person.
This tendency to de-escalate conflicts is sometimes received with scorn from other people who call him a coward (Luffy, Loki, the bandit in Windmill village, Buggy).
"Needless killing doesn't make you a man."
Shamrock similarly doesn't finish Loki after he is done with him and gets called a coward for it by Loki.
Gunko : "Let's kill him."
Shamrock : "Calm yourself, Gunko."
He is the one holding Gunko back from killing Loki. The panel shows his face covered with a speech bubble, hiding his reaction to Gunko "Kill him." Is it approval ? Is it disapproval ?
Oda uses the same technique when it comes to Shanks. There are several panel where some of his expression is hidden by a bubble or an object.
The panel is off centered and the bubble is hiding part of his face, probably to represent Shanks' hidden feelings on the matter.
When talking about Buggy, the bubbles hide half of his face, probably because Shanks is yet again holding back his feels.
Shanks is a character who hides a lot of his thoughts and feelings. He shows the world the persona of a carefree pirate but underneath it there is a calculative and melancholic man who represses himself constantly.
A reluctance to dirty their hands
Shamrock distances himself from brutality and never indulges in direct violence unless required.
When convincing Loki fails, Shamrock allows Gunko to perform the torture while observing rather than intervening himself. When Gunko wants to kill Loki, he finally steps in.
Shamrock : "It's enough, Gunko."
This tendency to have his subordinate (or crew mate) do the dirty work is seen twice with Shanks :
First in Luffy's flashback when Lucky Roo shoots one of the bandit threatening Shanks with a gun ;
Second when Yassop shoots and sinks Batholomeo's ship;
After Loki provokes him by threatening both brothers, Shamrock gets visibly upset for the first time, mirroring Shanks during Kid's attack. Though it's more the reason for his anger is more ambiguous with Shamrock, is it because Loki threaten him or is it because he care for his twin ?
When provoked, Shamrock uses his sword's strange power, using it more like a subordinate than like his weapon. He sends his sword's dogs to Loki more like a subordinate.
Shanks’ anger when Kid threatens his crew (Ch. 1076)
Although Shamrock Figarland was framed as Shanks’ opposite, his behavior reveals he’s more similar to his twin than initially supposed.
Of course, there is still a lot we don't know about it. He appears in very few chapter but I think he's going to be more of an anti-villain than, let's say, Doflamingo or Sanji's brother.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was like Sanji as a child who unlike Sanji never escape and had to suppress himself to fit in.

okay so we've all joked about luffy seeing shamrock and mistaking him for shanks, BUT consider a different version of events:
luffy is so faceblind that at least 50% of his ability to recognize people is based on vibes. so when he sees shamrock, the first thing he does is vibe check him and the vibe read is Rancid because, you know, celestial dragon.
only THEN does luffy look at his face and see he has the same face as shanks. but shanks is perfect and above reproach in luffy's eyes, so instead of mistaking shamrock for shanks, his kneejerk read on the situation is that someone he doesn't like is walking around with his mentor's face.
so long story short, what if luffy's initial reaction to shamrock isn't "omg shanks!!" but a stone-cold, threatening, "who are you?"

the reason i shared my great-grandmother's story on here a few months ago is not for sympathy or anything, its to illustrate to you just how deeply, deeply anti-Palestinian the idea of zionism is.
i remember my grandmother, the one who watched her mother die in her home, she called us with a plain tone of voice, and she said "she asked to be buried in [her village] but of course the the zionists wouldn't let that happen." the thing that will not leave my head was the way my grandmother said it, the way it just seemed so natural and so obvious to her. my grandmother is *not* a quiet woman, she yells everything she ever says, whether happy or sad but this she said softly. like she was resigned to this, she expected this.
this woman was exiled once from her village, then again from Palestine, then again and again and again and eventually forced to live in poverty in a refugee camp, she knows the 'israeli' state more intimately than anyone i know, she knows what it will and won't allow in its genocidal apparatus and to her it was obvious that they would not respect her mother's body or last wishes. she knew that.
and i always go back to it when i see discussions on here or on twitter or in academia, like you guys (the moderates, the apologists) have never ever spoken to a nakba survivor or a naksa survivor. you don't know just how deeply its affected our families.
so when we ask you to completely reject zionism, when we demand it from allies, we aren't saying this to be stubborn or nonsensical, we're saying it because we know where zionism will lead us. we've been through the "we just want peace" and the "we need to just talk it out" phases already, how can you not think we've been through those phases after 75 years. we've had our meet and greets and our appeals and now we're at literally the worst stage of genocide against our people and you're still insisting on "talking it out" or some variation of it.
the truth of the matter is that we don't have patience for zionism anymore because look where it got us. look where we're at. even soft zionists, you need to stamp those people out from pretending they've got good points, or that you need to build community with them or whatever. we are literally at the worst part of Palestinian history ever, we need to stop pretending there are grey zones to this. Zionist apologists and the like are creating ambiguity that literally gets our families killed under the guise of "complication". I'm sick and tired of watching these same discussions over and over again about how "Israel is a result of antisemitism" when it very much is not. I'm sick of seeing people who know NOTHING about colonization push their own agendas and provide cover for zionists to do whatever they want. Just stop talking about things you don't understand because I promise you, you're directly contributing to the violence you claim to abhor.
