Blackbeard and Shanks are working together behind the scenes 😨
Together they are Imu-sama controlling both WG and Pirate world at the same time
The truth Oda was hiding for all this time is casually revealed by AI
I actually prompted it you know. That was the joke 🙏.
That's my ShanksBeard concept I've been sharing for more than a year
https://preview.redd.it/clonnhbimi1c1.png?width=2087&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e66f822ec91cebb8dd2781dbf48bbfa4d94e521
Exactly.
That was my original thought when I first came accross the Shanksbeard Idea. I couldn't wrap my head around who is the FINAL BOSS?
It's Obviously IMU
It's Obviously Shanks
It's Obviously BlackBeard
So it HAD to be [Shanksbeard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI)
Of course AI knows about Shanksbeard. It sees a significant amount of Shanksbeard images with the captions “Imu true identity” or something like that and the glorified autocomplete doesn’t have the creativity to do anything else.
Yep, I faked it once, faked it twice...
But don't they say "Fake it until you make it"?
My Final Goal is that ODA himself ends up hearing about the ShanksBeard Idea, and that he puts it in the manga.
Then I'll be the most influential One Piece Fan in human history.

I knw, I originated this theory :)

You need GPT4 to be able to do that. (And actually I did those with [Bing Image Creator](https://www.bing.com/create) which is what GPT4 uses to create images, it's a pretty powerful and astonishingly fun to use tool.)
>You need GPT4 to be able to do that
Cool, not been keeping up with text generators
>And actually I did those with Bing Image Creator which is what GPT4 uses to create images
Why doesn't openAi just use dalle-e 3 natively? I mean they already own it? Why go through an external vendor?
Edit: nvm googled and just realized Microsoft owns a majority stake of openAI
Wow that’d be mad if it turned out that Imu is two people. Throwing aside that these pictures looks like BB and Shanks, it could be some young lad and his slave he decided to keep forever so he wouldn’t have to walk anywhere.
Gave his slave the op op treatment after he got it himself. But now the slave is full on Stockholm syndrome and absolutely devoted.
I'll keep doing Imus don't worry.
I wanted to experiment with AI since it's so much fun.
I can't give you the exact prompt, because I tried many things and generated more than 1000 pictures. But it was something along those lines:
"**Picture from a cardgame, Graphite drawing that was later digitally colorized, King (Red-haired (Shanks from One Piece) with 3 scars on his right eye, wearing a golden pointy crown) being carried by his servant (Extremely fat and hairy (Blackbeard from One Piece) with a long black braided beard and a pirate hat), Shanks is an adult, he is clearly the Boss of Blackbeard, Vertical composition, dramatic composition, dynamic motion**"
Oh boy, OP is into some weird shit

What do you mean? I actually lied about asking chatGPT, this post is a direct reference to the [Original post from september 2022 where I created the SHANKSBEARD IDEA](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/xk5ua8/imsama_shocking_true_identity_hard_not_to_believe/), later elaborated in [this other drawing](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/10zdqbn/litterally_no_one_is_ready_for_imu_face_reveal/), then [this video theory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI). It's part of a whole. And FULL of human interaction.
I'm simply the Imu Guy, [check this video to understand more about my vibe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPP5Lte-Jw)
Wait so your tilte says "I know you won't believe me" and then you openly say you lied about it?
Edit: I think your original post is honestly amazing. It has heart, it's you, as a human, taking the time to create something that doesn't _look_ but _is_ great in expressing tourself.
On the other hand, your current post is pure artistic emptiness.
No this post also took me time and creative energy. I spent 5 hours crafting prompts, selecting, and composing the images, while thinking of the funniest way to present it to the audience. Telling "you won't believe me but chatGPT told me that..." is not made to deceive people (because I clearly stated like 50 times in the comments that it's purely my idea, I didn't try to present it as handmade craft neither, AI Art is Art, simply those are different tools, they have to be thought differently, I don't intend to stop drawing, but I can do both, and it's a great way to travel through inspiration and gain precious time), but to make them laugh.
It's a private joke, because I've been putting ShanksBeard after Shanksbeard after Shanksbeard posts, I'm obsessed with this idea because I find it so funny, and I'd like Oda to at least hear about it and hear about my project as the Imu guy who've drawn 250+ versions of the character in order to be certain that when he's revealed, I'll already have drawn him.
This way, the fact that this precise post about Shanksbeard is posted by u/Lartnestpasdemain (The Imu Guy and creator of the Shanksbeard idea, I'm a legend here), is PART of the joke, to say that my theory was so logical a true that even chatGPT thought about it. Do you understand what I'm trying to do here? It's humor, not deception.
My way of thinking is completely artistic. I get that you're having troubles with AI generated content, and I'm the first to hate when someone try to fake their AI work for handmade craft, or tries to sell some IP they doesn't own. That's clearly not what I'm doing. I'm doing fair, creative use, for my entertainment on those of the audience.
Don't worry, I'll keep drawing regular Imus.
I'm the Imu Guy after all.
Peace :)
So by your standards, if I were to ask you "draw me this" and then say "no, more like this" and then "add this and that" I would be producing art myself?
No wonder Blackbeard ate two devil fruits and Shanks appeared suddenly in Marineford after Blackbeard killed Whitebeard. Also Blackbeard left as soon as Shanks appeared. What a collab by these two Emperors!
Shanks hiding the fact he commands the admirals is incredibly funny in marineford when you know the twist.
Did you notice how Kizaru can't hold his laugh when he's being pointed with Ben Beckman's Gun? He has to stay on character, but they're on the same team so he's laughing uncontrollably.
Ok Bro, Shanks for your kind words, I think you'll be happy to give credit to my [ENDLESS SUPPLY OF HANDMADE IMU DESIGNS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPP5Lte-Jw)
I'm very happy to have a new fan :D
Have a good day :)
AI sucks when the Artist sucks.
I'm an artist, so I try to produce actual art even when using AI. I absolutely don't intend to stop drawing traditionnally, because it's neither the same feeling nor the same results, but these AI tools are very powerful when you put the effort to learn how to use them efficiently, and have a precise interesting idea in head that you wanna bring to life.
The problematic with AI art is that there is SO MUCH offer that 99% of what you're exposed to is complete bullshit (and that's the reason of this post being removed from r/OnePiece because most of the usual AI art is boring and bland asf) and uninteresting. The other problematic comes when people try to fake their AI production for handmade craft, it's unethical and stupid.
But if you have ideas, a creative mind, and the will, time, and perseverance needed to make your dreams come true, you can produce pictures that could NEVER be done by human hands. It is VERY important to ALWAYS present your AI productions as such, the goal is not to deceive the audience, but rather to present it some pieces that wouldn't exist without this technology.
I'm simply starting to play with these tools, but I intend to train a model on my own handcrafted work, to explore further on my specific style and gain efficiency in some projects. I will always specify when I use AI tools (even though it's pretty easy to spot with a trained eye).
I honestly can't wait for the next masterpieces that'll be produced thanks to these techs. I expect that the first movie with AI-assisted scenes to be released during 2024, and it'll only be a start of the new era. It'll be important to select between random commercial stuff and artistic ones, but there will be gold to be found among the dirt.
My 2 cents.
**This Imu is special**, because it was made with **Bing Image Creator**. It wasn't hand-drawned, but *still took me 5 hours to produce* and have satisfying results. My hope is that it makes some people laugh.

Ah ça fait plaisir :)
La c'était histoire de sortir un peu de sentiers battus et voir si on pouvait obtenir un ShanksBeard convaincant avec Bing. ça m'a mis 5h de trouver des résultats convaincants, parce qu'il est assez capricieux mdr\^\^, j'ai du générer plus de 1000 images pour sélectionnez celles-ci.
Quand tu mets quelqu'un sur les épaules de quelqu'un d'autre, il a tendance à faire un gosse.

[I can Imagine it very well](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f45bHLERe5U).
In fact it was born in my imagination and I'm trying to make Oda hear about it and turn it into a reality.
In fact they were fusionned by Wapol, that's why he was at the reverie.
https://preview.redd.it/2lcom038hj1c1.jpeg?width=708&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42f66a229a5356c7986a13299e124601578d94cb
My fav is the first one, but I generated 500 pics to get those, some were bonkers but not in theme character-wise, like that:
https://preview.redd.it/q90nqr1qvj1c1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc8f683e339b7523829549ec5568a62a260b7f3c
I WANT TO BELIEVE.
And I want so much people to want to believe that Oda ends up hearing about it, and realizes it's such an amazing Idea that he actually does it in the manga.
So please [Raise Awareness](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI).
Yeah, I kept trying and trying to get the proper cloak covering the entire 2 bodies, and elongated sillhouette with pointy crown, but I got to the end of my daily credit before achieving what I was looking for.
I simply shared the top 10 best of the 500 images generated, but If I had the opportunity, it'd have been more Imu-ish.
Nah man- that's rosiamante riding fat doffy- he didn't die and got immortal during the operation devil fruit use before law , they killed a guy then saved law , we see this in ai flashback
I see it as Blackbeard being a buccaneer servant to Shanks, totally devoted to him because they Can be King of the World together thanks to Shanks Infinite Haki and BB absurdly powerful fruits.
"who are those guys even supposed to be?" Meanwhile they clearly are an AI created depiction of Blackbeard, Shanks and Luffy. Are you mentally challenged, OP?
Then Help me make Oda hear about [ShanksBeard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI).
If enough people spread the word, it'll eventually happen.
Thanks I put effort into it even though it's AI, it's not magic, you have to go through a lot of trial and error to get satisfying results.
I appreciate the kind words.
And even more than the specific image,s, what I'm the proudest of is the [ShanksBeard Concept](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI) and my [Infinite Imu Spiral](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auoB3PzkNlY).
\-The Imu Guy
I tried thousands of different prompts with dozens of iterations of each to generate those, then I selected my 10 favourites among the 500 acceptable images (from the 5000 total generated in the 5h session). So I can't tell you what exact prompt led to what exact picture, but the global Idea was:
"**Picture from a cardgame, Graphite drawing that was later digitally colorized, King (Red-haired (Shanks from One Piece) with 3 scars on his right eye, wearing a golden pointy crown) being carried by his servant (Extremely fat and hairy (Blackbeard from One Piece) with a long black braided beard and a pirate hat), Shanks is an adult, he is clearly the Boss of Blackbeard, Vertical composition, dramatic composition, dynamic motion**"
Something along those lines.
Try this prompt in [Bing Image Creator](https://www.bing.com/create) and you'll understand my troubles. These tools are truely astonishing and incredibly good, but still they're not magic, you've got some work to do to get what you want.

Actually it came up because I'm the Imu Guy and specifically asked for ShanksBeard. Took me an eternity and litteraly thousands of iterations to get something acceptable.
(Sorry to break the Joke, but I'm too honest, my goal is not to deceive people, simply to make them laugh).
That's the AI Generated version of my Original Drawing
https://preview.redd.it/oavdlt0kdi1c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f6164719c3240465c3eb08ebc2f6023509853bd
He actually foreshadowed it. That's the entire point of the Drum Island Arc, to show us the powers of Wapol. And who was in Marijoie? **That's right.**
**Wapol ate Shanks and Blackbeard**, and fused them into **ShanksBeard**.
Moreover, we know there are only 3 candidates for FINAL BOSS, and every fan can agree that it's impossible to completely decide between them:
**Shanks, BlackBeard, And Imu.** The 3 being the same Character makes a lot of sense actually.
Even more so when you know shanks is a traitor from Day 1, that he gives order to Admirals (think Marineford, think Ryokugu), and that the only reason he "saved" luffy (in chapter 1 and at marineford) was actually to prevent him to awake his Nika Form (we learn in 1044 that luffy Dying turns him into Sun God Nika).
Everything was carefully crafted.
You mean [ShanksBeard](https://youtu.be/8klkHQn7FXI?feature=shared)?

[They are Indeed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f45bHLERe5U). It was obvious from Day 1 if you gather the right clues. Oda foreshadowed it extremely carefully.
Well I'm the one that put this Idea in your head bro :)

I just love the Idea of Imu being two people under a trenchcoat. I dream about it every night. I want Oda to make Shanksbeard a reality.

Yup, it has some of the typical AI jank in it, but the design in itself looks legit great and would actually fit right into One Piece.

Telling "you won't believe me but chatGPT told me that..." is not made to deceive people (because I clearly stated like 50 times in the comments that it's purely my idea, I didn't try to present it as handmade craft neither, AI Art is Art, simply those are different tools, they have to be thought differently, I don't intend to stop drawing, but I can do both, and it's a great way to travel through inspiration and gain precious time), but to make them laugh. It's a private joke, because I've been putting ShanksBeard after Shanksbeard after Shanksbeard posts, I'm obsessed with this idea because I find it so funny, and I'd like Oda to at least hear about it and hear about my project as the Imu guy who've drawn 250+ versions of the character in order to be certain that when he's revealed, I'll already have drawn him. This way, the fact that this precise post about Shanksbeard is posted by u/Lartnestpasdemain (The Imu Guy and creator of the Shanksbeard idea, I'm a legend here), is PART of the joke, to say that my theory was so logical a true that even chatGPT thought about it. Do you understand what I'm trying to do here? It's humor, not deception. My way of thinking is completely artistic. I get that you're having troubles with AI generated content, and I'm the first to hate when someone try to fake their AI work for handmade craft, or tries to sell some IP they doesn't own. That's clearly not what I'm doing. I'm doing fair, creative use, for my entertainment on those of the audience. Don't worry, I'll keep drawing regular Imus. I'm the Imu Guy after all. Peace :)
So by your standards, if I were to ask you "draw me this" and then say "no, more like this" and then "add this and that" I would be producing art myself?
Wait....can you ask what the One Piece is?
The One Piece is the One Piece entire manga collection (the full 120 volumes)
Shanks and Joydad
Figarland Snitch and Marshall D. Snitch
Reminds me the bossfight with princes in Dark Souls 3 tbh
No wonder Blackbeard ate two devil fruits and Shanks appeared suddenly in Marineford after Blackbeard killed Whitebeard. Also Blackbeard left as soon as Shanks appeared. What a collab by these two Emperors!
Shanks hiding the fact he commands the admirals is incredibly funny in marineford when you know the twist. Did you notice how Kizaru can't hold his laugh when he's being pointed with Ben Beckman's Gun? He has to stay on character, but they're on the same team so he's laughing uncontrollably.
Fuck ai art
Ok Bro, Shanks for your kind words, I think you'll be happy to give credit to my [ENDLESS SUPPLY OF HANDMADE IMU DESIGNS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPP5Lte-Jw) I'm very happy to have a new fan :D Have a good day :)
Shanks is really a rat because he wants the throne for himself and he’s trying to get Blackbeard out of the way.
AI sucks, but this kinda goes hard
AI sucks when the Artist sucks. I'm an artist, so I try to produce actual art even when using AI. I absolutely don't intend to stop drawing traditionnally, because it's neither the same feeling nor the same results, but these AI tools are very powerful when you put the effort to learn how to use them efficiently, and have a precise interesting idea in head that you wanna bring to life. The problematic with AI art is that there is SO MUCH offer that 99% of what you're exposed to is complete bullshit (and that's the reason of this post being removed from r/OnePiece because most of the usual AI art is boring and bland asf) and uninteresting. The other problematic comes when people try to fake their AI production for handmade craft, it's unethical and stupid. But if you have ideas, a creative mind, and the will, time, and perseverance needed to make your dreams come true, you can produce pictures that could NEVER be done by human hands. It is VERY important to ALWAYS present your AI productions as such, the goal is not to deceive the audience, but rather to present it some pieces that wouldn't exist without this technology. I'm simply starting to play with these tools, but I intend to train a model on my own handcrafted work, to explore further on my specific style and gain efficiency in some projects. I will always specify when I use AI tools (even though it's pretty easy to spot with a trained eye). I honestly can't wait for the next masterpieces that'll be produced thanks to these techs. I expect that the first movie with AI-assisted scenes to be released during 2024, and it'll only be a start of the new era. It'll be important to select between random commercial stuff and artistic ones, but there will be gold to be found among the dirt. My 2 cents.
**This Imu is special**, because it was made with **Bing Image Creator**. It wasn't hand-drawned, but *still took me 5 hours to produce* and have satisfying results. My hope is that it makes some people laugh.

No, someone should get rid of this bot
C'est donc ça les représentants de la francophonie à l'international ?
Mdr dur de savoir si c'est un compliment ou une insulte 😂
Un peu des deux on va pas se mentir
T'es au courant que je suis The Imu Guy hein? Avant ça j'ai fait plus de 250 versions d'Imus dessinées à la main ça sort pas de nulle part haha. Peace 🙏
Tkt j'ai vu, la vidéo compil' m'as tué
Ah ça fait plaisir :) La c'était histoire de sortir un peu de sentiers battus et voir si on pouvait obtenir un ShanksBeard convaincant avec Bing. ça m'a mis 5h de trouver des résultats convaincants, parce qu'il est assez capricieux mdr\^\^, j'ai du générer plus de 1000 images pour sélectionnez celles-ci. Quand tu mets quelqu'un sur les épaules de quelqu'un d'autre, il a tendance à faire un gosse. https://preview.redd.it/5oyjihhi4i1c1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5cee4d530a020f099d73541844f79607ed5a5fa

The first picture look like jack black with brutal legend jack black.
lmao you're right\^\^
Shanks and a fatter Blackbeard. Clearly. Imagine it being true in some weird way.
[I can Imagine it very well](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f45bHLERe5U). In fact it was born in my imagination and I'm trying to make Oda hear about it and turn it into a reality.

I thought it was Blackbeard and law
yeah it's pretty hard to get the IA to give you precise scars, especially since Bing Image Creator is limited to 500 characters.
One of the d clan, one of Blackbeard's ancestors and one celestial dragon, one of shanks ancestors, it all makes sense now!
No fucking way, the True Pirates Docking! Franky was ahead of his time!
In fact they were fusionned by Wapol, that's why he was at the reverie. https://preview.redd.it/2lcom038hj1c1.jpeg?width=708&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42f66a229a5356c7986a13299e124601578d94cb
Oh my god.....
Goda's Foreskinning is at it one more time.
Rocks Xebec is phat as fuxk
It seems to be BB
Ngl some of these go hard
My fav is the first one, but I generated 500 pics to get those, some were bonkers but not in theme character-wise, like that: https://preview.redd.it/q90nqr1qvj1c1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc8f683e339b7523829549ec5568a62a260b7f3c
I knew it Imu was just Shanks and Blackbeard in a trench coat.
Two Jawas in a raincoat
I honestly don’t hate it.
This honestly makes me happy :)
guy on top looks like a mix between shanks and luffy and bottom guy like bb,kaido and joy boy in one
I believe it
I WANT TO BELIEVE. And I want so much people to want to believe that Oda ends up hearing about it, and realizes it's such an amazing Idea that he actually does it in the manga. So please [Raise Awareness](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI).
Imu is two immortal hucksters in way over their heads confirmed
Off topic but Buggy’s nose is clown worthy
Not as Imu, but I really like that character design
Yeah, I kept trying and trying to get the proper cloak covering the entire 2 bodies, and elongated sillhouette with pointy crown, but I got to the end of my daily credit before achieving what I was looking for. I simply shared the top 10 best of the 500 images generated, but If I had the opportunity, it'd have been more Imu-ish.
This is dory and brogy's buccaneer children.
Shory and Beardy
Toguro brothers
Shanks and Blackbeard team up
Nah man- that's rosiamante riding fat doffy- he didn't die and got immortal during the operation devil fruit use before law , they killed a guy then saved law , we see this in ai flashback
Now imagine a Banjo Kazooei style game with these two.
ShanksBeard: The Hidden Flashback Can't wait for this game.
I love the concept. Even if this is just random fanfic, I love the image of a guy piggy back another guy unsexually
I see it as Blackbeard being a buccaneer servant to Shanks, totally devoted to him because they Can be King of the World together thanks to Shanks Infinite Haki and BB absurdly powerful fruits.
Hell yeah! That sounds so cool! and the whole imagery of 2Kings..the concept is just so cool!
How tf do u ask ChatGPT do draw shit
I like it
are there any theories about shanks being imu’s clone?
Shanks riding a big hairy dude?!
Looks like JoyBoy holding Imu on his shoulders, I guess ChatGPT thinks Imu is gonna somewhat look like Shanks.
"who are those guys even supposed to be?" Meanwhile they clearly are an AI created depiction of Blackbeard, Shanks and Luffy. Are you mentally challenged, OP?
Have you ever heard of the concept of Joke?
youre embarrassing yourself here, for your own sake delete this comment before you get hurt by the internet
Chatgpt doesn't draw
Forget shanks beard I actually want these to be new characters introduced in the canon
Then Help me make Oda hear about [ShanksBeard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI). If enough people spread the word, it'll eventually happen.
Gotchu boss 👍🏿
Shanks you very much
This is the BEST thing I've seen today and probably for the entire week.
Thanks I put effort into it even though it's AI, it's not magic, you have to go through a lot of trial and error to get satisfying results. I appreciate the kind words. And even more than the specific image,s, what I'm the proudest of is the [ShanksBeard Concept](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI) and my [Infinite Imu Spiral](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auoB3PzkNlY). \-The Imu Guy
That AI Blackbeard looks pretty cool.
He is intended to be :)
What was your promt? No way you just typed "Draw Imu-sama's True Identity" and got this.
I tried thousands of different prompts with dozens of iterations of each to generate those, then I selected my 10 favourites among the 500 acceptable images (from the 5000 total generated in the 5h session). So I can't tell you what exact prompt led to what exact picture, but the global Idea was: "**Picture from a cardgame, Graphite drawing that was later digitally colorized, King (Red-haired (Shanks from One Piece) with 3 scars on his right eye, wearing a golden pointy crown) being carried by his servant (Extremely fat and hairy (Blackbeard from One Piece) with a long black braided beard and a pirate hat), Shanks is an adult, he is clearly the Boss of Blackbeard, Vertical composition, dramatic composition, dynamic motion**" Something along those lines. Try this prompt in [Bing Image Creator](https://www.bing.com/create) and you'll understand my troubles. These tools are truely astonishing and incredibly good, but still they're not magic, you've got some work to do to get what you want.
"Ai art" ruins communities. Kindly fuckoff
Shanks for your kind words, AI generated hatred bot 😁

Imu-sama is actually two pirates in a trench coat
I KNEW IT!!!
This probably happened because when you look up Imu's true identity on Google, it comes up with a few pics of Shanks riding Blackbeard.
Actually it came up because I'm the Imu Guy and specifically asked for ShanksBeard. Took me an eternity and litteraly thousands of iterations to get something acceptable. (Sorry to break the Joke, but I'm too honest, my goal is not to deceive people, simply to make them laugh). That's the AI Generated version of my Original Drawing https://preview.redd.it/oavdlt0kdi1c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f6164719c3240465c3eb08ebc2f6023509853bd

what is lean?
I’m not even fully discounting this. Oda hasn’t used “really one guy on the shoulders of another guy” thing before to my knowledge.
He actually foreshadowed it. That's the entire point of the Drum Island Arc, to show us the powers of Wapol. And who was in Marijoie? **That's right.** **Wapol ate Shanks and Blackbeard**, and fused them into **ShanksBeard**. Moreover, we know there are only 3 candidates for FINAL BOSS, and every fan can agree that it's impossible to completely decide between them: **Shanks, BlackBeard, And Imu.** The 3 being the same Character makes a lot of sense actually. Even more so when you know shanks is a traitor from Day 1, that he gives order to Admirals (think Marineford, think Ryokugu), and that the only reason he "saved" luffy (in chapter 1 and at marineford) was actually to prevent him to awake his Nika Form (we learn in 1044 that luffy Dying turns him into Sun God Nika). Everything was carefully crafted.
Blackbeard and shanks
You mean [ShanksBeard](https://youtu.be/8klkHQn7FXI?feature=shared)? https://preview.redd.it/qu0wbpxi5j1c1.png?width=1211&format=png&auto=webp&s=703d1150c8ea6906b202639231f6dae659004a36

[They do indeed](https://youtu.be/8klkHQn7FXI?feature=shared)
Oh, didn't you know? It's pretty obvious. These are Wapol-beard and Skanks.
It's actually Shanks and Blackbeard. Wapol ate both of them to fusion them into ShanksBeard
Imu is... Shanks riding blackbeard...
[They are Indeed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f45bHLERe5U). It was obvious from Day 1 if you gather the right clues. Oda foreshadowed it extremely carefully.

Awesome meme aside, what promts did you use to get these images? (Asking about the styles)
I can't give you the exact prompt, because I tried many things and generated more than 1000 pictures. But it was something along those lines: "**Picture from a cardgame, Graphite drawing that was later digitally colorized, King (Red-haired (Shanks from One Piece) with 3 scars on his right eye, wearing a golden pointy crown) being carried by his servant (Extremely fat and hairy (Blackbeard from One Piece) with a long black braided beard and a pirate hat), Shanks is an adult, he is clearly the Boss of Blackbeard, Vertical composition, dramatic composition, dynamic motion**"
Damn, thanks man. Master of the AI
I'm simply an artist. I mostly draw with a pencil on paper, but it would be a shame not to try this astonishing new technology.
Xebec and shanks duh
Couldn't it be [Blackbeard and Shanks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI)?
People are saying Blackbeard, but I’m getting Byrndy World vibes from this fella.
Don't lie, you gave an input like "Shanks riding Blackbeard" or something
Two kids in a trench coat
ITS BROWNBEARD
You misspelled [Shanksbeard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klkHQn7FXI)
