Essential The Official "All Things One Piece" Thread (The Final Saga Has Started))

[Inertia Creeps]

I'm a little confused at the setup for this flashback, because I swore the story was that Shanks stole the Gum Gum fruit from a CP9 ship. Specifically, I thought Who's Who got kicked out of CP9 for losing the Gum Gum fruit to Shanks. But they're nowhere in this arc, and we're getting close to a finale, and it's implying the fruit's needed to beat Harald.

If I'm not mixing up my backstories, then I'd guess that Loki goes to retrieve the fruit, and it's already stolen. Then Shanks and Loki would have to team up to take down Harald instead.

But now I'm wondering if I just confused some old dialogue from Who's Who.

Two living people can't share the same DF powers (aside from the few cases of Vegapunk's artificial fruit shenanigans) so obviously the fruit Loki ate is different from the Gum Gum. The whole reason he's chained up in seastone in the present was over the misunderstanding that he seemingly murdered Harald for it... which this flashback has shown to be not true. It's almost certainly the same fruit Rocks wanted Harald to eat originally, and he didn't even know who Nika was until Loki told him so that's another strike against it being the mythical zoan Luffy ate.
