FAKE SHANKS’ NAME AND NIKA LORE INCOMING! One Piece Chapter 1137 Hints!
We might get Evil Shanks’s name and more lore about Joy Boy and Ohara in the next chapter!

In the previous chapter, we received a comprehensive lore dump about Sun God Nika, about him coming into the present among the giants or in the present age and of people not being sure if Nika will be a destroyer or liberator!
This is supposedly why Loki and Harald’s fates were so twisted, with Harald dying and Loki betraying him in the pursuit of becoming Nika.
We also finally revealed who fake Shanks’ partner is, Gunko, with a unique ability to turn her sleeves into bandages.
One Piece Chapter 1137 will have some incredibly spicy lore coming.
This information comes to us through Scotch the Informer and Redon.

Scotch tells everyone to “buckle up”, an expression he used for Chapters 1122: “Time is Right” and 1125: “What Death Means”, which contained some of the most shocking events in One Piece 2024 (Joy Boy’s first physical appearance, albeit as a silhouette, and Garling replacing Saturn, who Imu killed at the end of the Egghead Island Arc).

Four key elements to be aware of:
More Joyboy Lore
Ever since Emet’s presence in the Egghead Island arc, we have slowly peeled back the curtain hiding the Void Century as we got our first look at Joyboy.
With the previous chapter, we learned more about the Sun God Nika, the origin of Luffy’s Devil Fruit, and Luffy himself gets to hear this.
While only basic ideas about Nika were revealed, we might learn even more about the history of Elbaph and how Nika is intertwined with it.
One guess is that we might confirm if Joy Boy, who we now know is NOT a giant, has stepped foot into Elbaph as part of his pre-One Piece journey, and acquired the Nika fruit there.
Professor Clover

With Saul being the hidden survivor of the Ohara Incident, there is a chance we might see this with Professor Clover.
However, while Saul only got grazed by the flames, Clover might as well be fully cooked, being close to the Tree of Knowledge and living to tell the tale as part of his revenge against the World Government for its crimes.
Question now is will this chapter confirm if Professor Clover is the Man Marked by Flames who supposedly has the final Road Poneglyph?
Gunko’s Arrow Arrow Fruit
— Sergio (redon) (@Mugiwara_23) January 20, 2025
We might finally get a name for Gunko’s Devil Fruit in this chapter.
Our guess is that it is the Arrow Arrow Fruit, which has the ability to make any object into an arrow.
The logic of this for Gunko’s sleeves would be that it allows her bandages to fly out and even be shaped like arrows.
This is why she wears sleeves to hide her powers and this was how she shot down the Giant guards in Chapter 1135.
Fake Shanks’ Name Revealed
For the past two chapters, fake Shanks has been less involved, with Chapter 1135 even showing him being silent while Gunko did all the work.
Now we might learn a few things about him, including his possible involvement in the murder of King Harald, the event that caused Loki to become the Accursed Prince and his encounter with the real Shanks 6 years ago.
Most importantly, this might be the time to get his true face and name.
Alternatively, Oda could forego this and have fake Shanks face off against Luffy before this information comes out.
