One Piece‘s concluding saga is being shown in the manga currently, and with this final plotline, Eiichiro Oda is reintroducing some significant characters to the Grand Line universe.

Despite the fact that Red-Haired Shanks had a cameo in the most recent One Piece: RED anime film and has been a part of the shonen franchise for a number of years, he hasn’t yet met the series’ main protagonist Monkey D. Luffy. After meeting a new member of the Worst Generation, Shanks demonstrates his most potent assault to date.

Kid held a grudge against the Red-Haired Pirates because, as we saw in a previous volume of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, he had actually lost his arm in a fight with one of Shanks’ men. When the two crews meet paths, Kid isn’t about to allow Shanks and company get away without a fight. He converts his mechanical arm into a cannon and fires a payload that severely damages Shanks’ ship.

While Shanks and Kid engage in combat, Luffy’s former mentor uses his most potent attack, Divine Departure, to end the fight in an instant. With Kid and Killer still reeling from their battle in the War for Wano, the sword slice manages to kill both of them. Then Shanks’ crew launches their own assault, fully destroying Kid’s ship and sending his crew overboard.

No information regarding Shanks’ Devil Fruit fuel source has been provided by One Piece yet. This implies that there is a strong likelihood that the Red-Haired pirate has been able to use his physical strength alone to transform himself into a weapon of destruction. Whether Kid and/or Killer were able to escape this assault was left unanswered in the final moments of the most recent chapter, but it may have had a significant negative impact on Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates.

One Piece manga chapter 1079 was released on March 27, 2023.

One Piece manga chapter 1080 will be released on April 9th, 2023.
