(Rocks S. D. Bucky's ultimate form - please don't mess with the picture I made, ohhahaha)
[Spoiler alert] I have finished brushing One Piece Red overseas, and found that there is not much discussion on the forum about the newly mentioned redhead identity clues in Red, so I want to synthesize the scattered information to discuss the redhead's life and put forward the conjecture that Bucky is the son of Rocks. Note: Spoilers unrelated to the redhead's identity have been minimized, and I personally believe that it does not affect the viewing experience.
(PS: Spoiler Warning Spoiler Warning Spoiler Warning This post will have some screenshots of the Red network disk version as the basis for the source of information)
First of all, one of the main identity clues about redheads in this theatrical version is the "Figarland Family/フィガーランド家" said by the five old stars when watching the live broadcast of Uta's concert. The scene in the movie is that the five old stars are discussing the danger of Uta's concert and live broadcast to the world, and are preparing to send the navy to eliminate this hidden danger. At this time, Luffy broke into the stage and told the fact that Uta was the red-haired daughter in front of the live phone worm. From the reaction of the five old stars, it can be seen that the fact that Uta is the red-haired daughter is also new information for the five old stars, and they judge that Uta may be a descendant of the Figarand family.
The setting is that Uta was picked up by the redhead when he was a baby at the age of 2, and the Red Regiment stayed on the ship during all the battles without participating, and then was left on the music island after the big event at the age of 9, and the former king Gordon were left to rely on each other until they picked up a phone bug that could be broadcast live when they became adults and began to prepare for the physical concert [refer to the Uta timeline and theatrical version of the main film content in the 4 billion special volume, TalkOP Intelligence Translation: https://bbs.talkop.com/thread-152463-1-1.html].
According to this setting, the relationship between Uta and Redhead has always been well hidden by Shanks, and she was not allowed to be discovered by others during the battle of the Red Group during the ship, and Shanks also took the initiative to take responsibility and cut off contact with Uta to protect her and prevent the outside world from knowing her connection with the Red Group. Although the Five Old Stars and CP0 are very familiar with the intelligence of Uta's Sound Fruit, this information most likely comes from the Devil Fruit Guide, or some records within the government about the previous Fruit ability, rather than from the investigation of Uta himself. Because Uta has been living on an island without any other inhabitants, he does not enter CP's sight, and CP has no way of knowing the connection between Uta and the redhead. (However, the civilians of Windmill Village seem to know that Uta is a red-haired daughter, and can only guess that because Windmill Village has Kapu and Dragon Cover, CP does not dare to go over to investigate?) ）
In summary, the five old stars hesitated slightly when they learned that Uta was a red-haired daughter from Luffy's mouth in the live broadcast, and they asked themselves, "Is that girl really a descendant of the Figarand family?" But he still decided that whether it was Figarand's bloodline or not, he would clean it up to avoid future troubles. In other words, the inference of the five old stars that Uta is from the Figarand family is based on the information given by Luffy that Uta is a red-haired daughter, and has nothing to do with Uta himself's missing blood parents. Then the possibility that the redhead came from this "Figarand family" is increasing. Another point that makes people feel very tricky is that Oda refuses to answer questions about the Figarand family in the latest interview about the theatrical version, which makes it feel that the family should be related to the important main plot.

The word family is not used much among pirates, and the most impressive are the twenty Draco families besides Auntie's Charlotte family. Since "Figaland" is the name of a family, or it is said through the mouth of the five old stars, then the probability that this family is the bloodline of the Draco is quite large. By the way, using the chart of One Piece Fandom, there are now known Draco/G20 families, namely the Don Quixote family of the former Dressrosa, the Rozwald family, the Neferutari family who remained in Alabastan, and the suspected Figarand family.
Pointing to the evidence that Shanks may be a Draco, there is also Shanks being found by Roger from the treasure harvested from the Valley of the Gods War when he was 1 year old [Reference Volume 4 Billion]. This is often used as evidence that Shanks is the son of Draco or Lokes. In episode 957 of the manga, when the Great War of Kaminokani is introduced, Sengoku explains that Kaminoya is an island inhabited by Draco and their slaves, and Lox eventually fell here. That is to say, it is very likely that Shanks is someone's child in this incident, and his parents hid him in treasure in order to protect the child.
Another point is that during the World Conference, the five old stars are willing to meet Shanks, who is the Four Emperors of Pirates, in the Holy Land of Mary Joa [Manga Chapter 907]. According to the character of the Draco, the five old stars should disdain to communicate with civilians, let alone lawless pirates. If another Four Emperors dared to come directly to the Holy Land, it would be equivalent to declaring war with the government. Shanks not only came, but was also privately received by the five old stars, I personally think it is very likely that Shanks also has the blood of Draco, and of course, the passive effect of the face fruit (mistaken).
I would also like to mention that in chapter 968 of the manga, Ota's diary mentions that after Roger returned from Ralph Drew, Shanks asked Roger something, and then young Shanks cried. The specific conversation was left blank by Oda without telling us. But if based on the inference that Shanks is a Draco, this whisper is likely to be Shanks asking Roger for the truth about a hundred years of blankness. When he learned that all the sufferings in the world were the sins of his own family in the past eight hundred years, he probably cried because he was ashamed of his Draco status. Conversely, if Shanks is the son of Lox, Roger answers that Shanks has inherited the meaning of D from his father, and feels that there is no need to cry, because Roger himself is also D, and they must have met many of D's companions on the sea along the way.
Shanks, who had been talking for so long, hadn't talked about Bucky yet. Bucky here has less substantial evidence and more speculation. Let's start with Bucky and Shanks being the same age (39 two years later), and in Ota's diary, the year Roger became One Piece, both were 9-year-old interns on the ship. At the time of the Great War 38 years ago, Bucky and Shanks were both 1-year-old babies.
Bucky's background feels that there is an important point that Oda has been hiding from him. All the familiar members of Roger's group have explained the way and reason for getting on board: Culokas went on board to treat Roger and looked for Brooke by the way, Renly was the first crew member recruited by Roger and brought his own boat, the story of Ota on board was told for a long time and dragged his family, and Shanks was brought on board in the treasure. That is to say, the familiar members of Roger's group have all been described on board except Bucky, and Oda has been designed long ago. Only before boarding the ship, Bucky's identity and the reason why Bucky got on the ship have not been explained. Reminiscent of episode 966 of the manga, when the Ota family boarded the ship, Roger held Hiyori and said "There haven't been a baby here for a long time", while Rayleigh hugged Momonosuke and said "It's reminiscent of the past". They did not specify whether there had been one or two babies on board before. If this is also a symmetrical plot, there may have been two babies Shanks and Bucky on board before, and Roger and Rayleigh used to be taken care of by each other with a baby.
In addition, Bucky, like Shanks, did not give his last name. If Oda really intends to create a character of the son of Lokes, I personally think that Rox· D. Bucky is the most likely candidate. Shanks and Bark were basically the same age, grew up together on a boat, and their hair colors were clearly opposite. If Shanks is a Draco, wouldn't it be the most unexpected and plausible setting that his little nemesis, Bucky, is a descendant of the D-named Lokes. There is also a law that the "great demon kings" in the pirate world basically all have different [successors of will] and [inheritors of bloodline] (the phenomenon of collective filial piety in the context of the times). For example, the successor of Roger's bloodline is Ace, but the successor of the will is Shanks and Luffy. The successor of Kaido's bloodline is Yamato, and the successor of the will may be Ember or Flying Sextuplets. Whitebeard has a suspected bloodline successor who calls himself Edward Weibull of White II, but his true will is followed by the sons of the ship. Mitsuki Ota also has bloodline successors Momonosuke and Hiyori, but his free will successor is Yamato. There are also the successors of Karp's bloodline are Dragon and Luffy, but the successors of his will for justice are young sailors such as Pheasant and Kobe. There are many, many similar examples. At present, it seems that Rocks already has a very obvious [successor of will] Blackbeard, but if you want to arrange a person who can justifiably inherit the Hive Island of the pirates after Blackbeard is defeated, arrange the great leader Lockes. D. Bucky, as the [Bloodline Heir], came to reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is really perfect.
The last important basis for the idea that Bucky should be the son of Rocks comes from the top war chapter. In episode 551 of the comic, Karp recalls Roger's secret conversation with himself, hoping that Karp will protect his child Ace. Roger's exact words are: "Children born are innocent." I've been fighting each other dozens of times, right? I have a friend-like trust in you." But is it really just that simple? Is it really just because you don't fight and don't know each other, you can entrust your wife and children to your opponent instead of your own crew? I think something must have happened, something that made Roger deeply appreciate Karp's justice and made him believe in Karp's person.
Here's the timeline of my speculation:
[Time goes back to the Battle of the Valley of the Gods 38 years ago. After the fall of Lockes, Locks' crew fled to save their lives, and the naval forces had not yet arrived, and the Roger Pirates were either pursuing the remaining Rocks members or looting the treasures of Rocks and Draco as trophies. Karp and Roger find a 1-year-old blue-haired, red-nosed baby in the wreckage and soon realize it is Locks' son. Karp knew that if the Navy and the government discovered the baby's existence, they would definitely wipe him out in order to prevent the baby from growing into a second lox. Karp felt that the child was innocent because of his own beliefs, so he entrusted Rokes' son to Roger to take care of. Roger's group picked up a child, and found the red-haired baby Shanks during the subsequent inventory of Draco's treasures. Both children were raised on the boat. 】
Returning to the secret conversation before the execution, I think that the reason why Roger was willing to entrust his wife and children to Karp was because this incident made Roger realize Karp's justice, and the phrase "the child born is innocent" may have been originally said by Karp himself. The reason why he chose to entrust Karp to his crew instead of himself is to believe that Karp will do his best for this, and will not ignore the safety of a child without regard for his own career and life safety. Roger's own crew members are not only uncontactable, but may each be evading the Navy's pursuit, so it is not convenient to take the baby.
In the end, could the treasure of Captain John that Bucky has been looking for be the treasure of Lockes? Perhaps the treasure search process will indirectly reveal Bucky's true identity. The treasure is actually myself? His little brothers could already be seen blowing Bucky into the sky with their eyes.
Finally, Hawkeye once said that Luffy has the most terrifying power on the sea, and can turn those present into his companions one after another. Then why not Lord Bucky?
。 Perhaps this is the charm of the D family.
