@Katzztar:
This just reminded me of the conversation between Kizaru and Drake back on SA. Kizaru said something o the effect of Drake eleft the Marines and turned pirate because he was curious about the other side.
But if this is Drake, he would already know what tis like to be a pirate!
So making him a spy sort of makes sense.
Maybe two immortals. After all we've not seen any human (giants don't count here, different life spans) that's reached 100 (we know that Whitebeard was 71(72?)) much less someone reaching over that.
But we have Kureha that's 141 and still has the body many women would die for (body not face )
Add to that she's the only one (Chopper doesn't count since he's a reindeer) going around the Sakura Kingdom without bundling up for the bitter winter cold. Heck even the ox DF used Dalton bundles up!
…. and she's always asking if someone wants to know the secret of her youth! But its never been answered.
We've always thought its a gag of Kureha's ... but what if it was a foreshadowing :ninja:

You truly just inspired me!!
So to start off I immediately thought of shaky, and how it was mentioned that she looked young. So I looked up some info.
From the one piece wiki:
Twenty two years ago, her physical features looked exactly as it does now, but with certain subtle clothing differences
Shakky is very knowledgeable, and seems to constantly seek information - particularly on other pirates. She also reads the newspapers in what one could assume to be an obsessive manner, as she believes strongly that knowledge is power. She was the one who informed Luffy of all of the nine other pirates whose bounties exceed
Now think if you were a person that's been around for years, wouldn't you want to stay up to date with what's current.
Okay further proof.
She also seems intent on keeping her age a secret; Luffy asked her how old she was when he heard that she had quit being a pirate forty years ago, but she immediately changed the subject, though she mentioned that she had been chased by Luffy's grandfather
Keeps her age a secret for reasons.
My best piece. Looking at people dissect names, look at shakys name.
Her name (芍薬, shakuyaku?) means "peony", a type of flower.
Why is peony relevant!? Behold !
From teleflora.com
THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF
PEONY
With a recorded history that dates back thousands of years, it’s not surprising that even the mythology surrounding the origin of the peony has multiple versions. One legend has it that the peony is named after Paeon, a physician to the gods, who received the flower on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. And another tells the story of that same physician who was “saved” from the fate of dying as other mortals by being turned into the flower we know today as the peony.
The traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower, peonies are known as the flower of riches and honor. With their lush, full, rounded bloom, peonies embody romance and prosperity and are regarded as an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage.
TL:DR shaky=peony=story of mythical physician who grants imortality
