Luffy Was NEVER Meant to Be Joyboy — Shanks Is NOT a Fraud – HIS GENIUS PLAN AGAINST IMU REVEALED! One Piece 1169

SHANKS IS THE MASTERMIND… and One Piece Chapter 1169 basically screams it.

In this video we break down the insane Elbaph castle sequence where Imu’s will straight up hijacks King Harald.

Turning him into a passenger in his own body and setting up the perfect “Loki did it” scapegoat—Doflamingo/King Riku style—so the giants will follow the “savior” while the truth gets buried.

Harald even tries to choose death over letting Elbaf be enslaved, but the more he fights it, the more Imu’s plan tightens around Loki and Jarul.

Then we get the GOD FRUIT lore bomb:

Ragnir isn’t just a legendary hammer—it’s a combo piece that only makes sense once Elbaf’s legendary Devil Fruit is eaten… and we explain why the “Sol God Fruit” = literal sun/plasma power, why that would be Elbaf’s biggest threat and its best answer to Imu’s cold abyss/regen, and why Ragnir might be a living conduit with a will of its own.

And just when Harald is about to catch Loki, SAINT FIGARLAND SHANKS and SCOPPER GABAN pull up—leading into the wild theory that Shanks spent years shaping destiny so Ace would inherit Joyboy’s fruit… only for the Nika fruit to choose Luffy instead.
