Shanks is one of the Yonko, and the captain of the Red Hair Pirates. He is one of the strongest people in the world of One Piece, and being a Yonko, he has absolute authority in the New World. He, along with the other Yonko, are the strongest people in the entire series. Nobody messes with them. Shanks was first revealed during the very chapter of One Piece, where he was at Fooshia Village, along with the rest of his crew. Back then, he wasn’t a Yonko, but he was still a fearsome Pirate. Shanks often met with Luffy there, and usually, he was at Makino’s place. For those of you who don’t know who Makino is, it is this woman:
Makino and Shanks seem to have some sort of connection to each other, from the looks of it, and it does seem like she is very important to the Yonko, Red Hair Shanks.
Now, on the cover of One Piece chapter 615, we saw Makino holding a baby. At that point, we didn’t know if it was her baby or not, but it was soon confirmed to be her child. We still don’t know who the father is though. However, Eiichiro Oda was asked about whether it was Makino’s child, and also who the father of the child was. Here’s how he responded to the question in Sbs volume 63.
D: The thing that concerns me is the cover of chapter 614. You see how Makino-san is holding a baby? Does that mean that baby is Makino-san’s child?! And does that mean the father is me?! P.N. Dandelion
O:NOT YOU!!!(Shock)…ah… Sorry. Well–. Seems Makino-san became a mother. She looks very happy. The father is maybe that person-. Yeah, probably that person.
Now he didn’t exactly say who the father is, but I think it’s really obvious. There is but one man who we know has a connection to Makino. That person is Shanks. Further, the baby also seems to have red hair, so I don’t think there is any further need to provide proof about whom the father of the baby is. Makino is the mother of Shanks’ kid. We don’t know what kind of a relationship Shanks and Makino have. But we’ll likely find out sometime in the future.
Further, it does raise a question of how it is that Shanks was able to visit Fooshia Village. It is located in East Blue, and that’s something off limits for a Yonko, since the place is under the protection of Garp himself. There are many questions that this revelation has raised, and right now, I can’t provide an answer. Maybe when we’re into Shanks’ saga, we’ll get to know more about it. I hope the day isn’t too far.
