History
Past
Over 20 years ago, Shinobu was a protégé of Kin'emon.[1]
Wano Country Arc
Shinobu was summoned by Kin'emon to guide the Straw Hats at Oden Castle. When Kaido arrived at Kuri, Law alerted everyone inside the castle.[1]
The group was surprised to see Kaido and Shinobu was shocked to see Momonosuke in dragon form. After Luffy rushed off with Law following him and Kin'emon and Kiku left to rescue Tsuru, the rest tried to escape as Kaido approached the castle and destroyed it with a heat breath.[4]
She used her powers to save the remaining people in the castle from Kaido's attack by creating a hole underneath the castle. Kiku later returned to the ruined castle and informed the group about what happened to Luffy.[5]
Sometime after Luffy was taken by the Beasts Pirates, Shinobu and Nami infiltrated a house and spied on government officials in charge of weapon shipments from the ceiling. One of the officials spotted Nami's looking glass and jabbed a blade into the ceiling. Nami and Shinobu were forced to run away from his attacks, and Shinobu started screaming, tipping the officials off to the presence of humans. However, the duo managed to escape, and Shinobu used ninjutsu to glide through the air. Nami revealed that she found out when and where the weapons shipment was leaving, and Shinobu admitted that she is afraid of sharp objects, much to Nami's chagrin.[6]
