When the Wano Arc reached its end, a new Marine Admiral was introduced, Ryokugyu, or Green Bull. His introduction was a surprise. He has a power based on plants as seen in Plants vs Zombies. He came to Wano to crash the party when the Straw Hats were exhausted. Fortunately, before the Green Bull went any further, it was stopped by Shanks, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates.

Let's take a look at the facts about the Shanks vs Ryokugyu fight that ended before it began.

1. Ryokugyu Came to Disband the Party at Wano

In One Piece 1053, it was revealed that the bounties of Luffy, Kid, and Law both skyrocketed to a 3 billion Belly. The last page reveals the sketches of the four new Yonko: Red-Haired Shanks, Blackbeard Teach, Straw Hat Luffy, and Buggy the Genius Clown. Luffy and Buggy replaced Big Mom and Kaido as the new Yonko. On the other hand, Admiral Ryokugyu is already prepared to disband the party at Wano.

2. Ryokugyu was Introduced as a Cruel Admiral

Ryokugyu's ruthlessness is shown when he uses his devil fruit to spread plant roots. The roots wrapped around and stabbed the scattered members of the Beast Pirates, then sucked the life essence from the bodies of Kaido's men, including King and Queen.

3. Ryokugyu is Determined to Take Down Luffy

After asking to be sent a battleship, Ryokugyu is determined to finish off a boy who appeared on a wanted poster. The boy in question is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.

4. His Devil Fruit is ‘Mori Mori No Mi’

The name of the devil fruit used by Ryokugyu is Mori Mori No Mi. It turns out that this devil fruit makes the Green Bull very overpowered. Besides being able to fly using flower petals, Ryokugyu can also reproduce himself by making clones that grow from the ground.

5. Ryokugyu Faced Wano Samurais, Momonosuke, and Yamato

Not wanting to bother Luffy and his nakama, 9 Wano Samurais had time to fight Green Bull. Yamato joined the fight and club Green Bull. Momonosuke appeared to stop Yamato who was fighting Green Bull. Green Bull could match the guardians of Wano country alone. So strong, right?

6. Momonosuke in Dragon Form was Not a Threat to Ryokugyu

Green Bull had tortured Wano fighters who tried to oppress him. In his dragon form, Momo spitted fire at the Green Bull. However, it turned out that the thing that makes Green Bull nervous was not it.

7. Ryokugyu Sensed Shanks' Conqueror Haki

When being entertained by Momonosuke's blast, Green Bull felt a Conqueror Haki that came from the Red Hair Pirates group. In the waters near Wano, Shanks sailed on his ship. Green Bull knew that Shanks is threatening him through his powerful Haki.

8. Shanks Warned Ryokugyu to Retreat

The Haki was so strong, so strong that Shanks' Haki made all the apprentices on his ship faint. Shanks intimidated Green Bull and asked him to leave Wano. Shanks reminded Green Bull that Luffy and the other pirates had just finished fighting. Shanks said the Marines were too afraid because they used the momentum fighting a tired warrior.

9. Shanks Defeated Ryokugyu Without Facing Him

Frightened by Shanks, Green Bull gave up and called off his invasion. Shanks was able to beat Green Bull without even meeting face-to-face. As strong as an Admiral, Green Bull is still nothing compared to Shanks, who became an irreplaceable Yonko.

10. Shanks' Haki Made Luffy Misses Him

After Green Bull was driven away by Shanks' Haki, the people of Wano continued their party. Sanji realized that Green Bull had left. Zorro praised Momo's prowess. Meanwhile, Jinbei realized that a very powerful Haki had appeared. Meanwhile, Luffy admitted that he misses someone.

This moment was the umpteenth time that Shanks helped Luffy. Previously, Luffy was in danger during the Marineford War. At that time, Luffy was almost killed by Akainu, but was protected by Ace who sacrificed his life. As soon as he knew Ace was dead, Luffy was furious.

Before the Marineford war got even more chaotic, Shanks came to stop the war. Shanks managed to save Luffy from the threat from the Marines.

The same goes for what Shanks did near Wano. Shanks wanted to make sure Luffy enjoyed his winning moment and rested to recover his strength. Shanks didn't want Ryokugyu to harm Luffy, the figure he has guarded and protected all this time.
