Curate, connect, and discover
I just preferred shanks to be the interesting one with more layers rather than twist done to death by every comic book in history
that's valid honestly, i can't even argue with that because that IS an overused trope lmao. but i think this will be an opportunity to see a new side of shanks, one that isn't shrouded in mystery, but instead open, emotional and dramatic.
let's just hope oda will surprise us (like he often does), maybe he will use the trope in a way that positively serves the plot!
