Of those things, D feels like the most likely man made thing. If they are enemies of the gods, aka Celestial Dragons, easy answer is it has to do with the remnants of the AK keeping memory of something alive. Since we know the way it’s maintained is through family tradition, it could be by far the least supernatural lasting mystery in the series

Okay hear me out

#

Actually nvm

# gray creek Of those things, D feels like the most likely man made thing. If they are enemie...

Idk, it does seem to me that something consistent and which goes beyond lifetimes and genealogies is happening with the D; it seems to be supernatural (at least in the basic sense of beyond our understanding of nature in one piece) on a scale that things like a ship that can destroy islands isn't even close to. I think that's why I felt so comfortable assigning such an intense thing as "wish granting via human sacrifice" to it, because the phenomenon seems somewhat distinct from regular inherited will. The Will of D doesn't have to be remembered to work. Why not?

#

To me, the Will of D seems a lot more like Poseidon than inherited will. Supernatural tendencies over generations, barely remembered, continuing on into history far past the time when their mechanism was understood yet clearly possessing the power to keep recurring

gray creek
# chrome frigate To me, the Will of D seems a lot more like Poseidon than inherited will. Superna...

It’s the definition of inherited will. It’s called the “will” of D and it’s inherited through certain families. It’s a will that can be categorized as being able to stir things up. D’s bring a storm. They’re the natural enemy of the gods, who are the people trying to impose order. And it has an origin or meaning that can be traced because we know some people have figured that out. So far all of the snippets we’ve been given are pretty consistent with a mystery tying to the void century, and nothing points to anything overtly supernatural.

A lot of these points about Roger being remembered or how dreams will never die are 100% related to the phenomenon of inherited will. That is the power. As long as someone has the will of D, it has a chance to be fulfilled. Not because that person has a strange power, but by the virtue of them existing

chrome frigate
#

But even assuming this theory is 100% true, I definitely think the will of D is an exception to the normal rules, as a kind of enhancement or protection of the existing phenomenon of inherited will, rather than completely replacing the concept. I think this because we've seen that not all inherited will has to do with the D to begin with, and because thematically I think the story tends to favor the ability of an individual to rise to challenges even when supernatural forces are involved (Devil Fruit powers becoming more devastating as they're used more creatively and Haki blooming in battle are two examples)

#

If this is true in any way, I suspect that only someone who thought inherited will + people's dreams were critical would have made the D what they are

#

As we've been discussing this, it's occurred to me that the connection between death and the fulfillment of dreams is actually stronger than the relationship between the fulfillment of dreams and the D

#

Which may be a narrative choice, but given the Shandian's human sacrifice, maybe not...I wonder if Noland's horror at the practice of human sacrifice among a people who protected the Poneglyph foreshadows that the people of the ancient kingdom were okay with the idea of sacrificing lives for this purpose and others weren't

#

Which would make the Will of D the unkillable survivors of an ancient anarchist death cult

Oda said that he was gonna draw a pirate with an eyepatch and in his personal opinion thinks the eyepatch is the most iconic part of a pirates attire so he plans to give it to someone at the epitome of piracy

#

Seems like it's not someone we have scene before

tacit veldt
#

Or it's pirate king Luffy. He can't wait to draw this character because drawing Luffy at the pinnacle of piracy means having drawn all of his adventures before

#

Soooooo... Luffy loses an eye? And trains a parrot too, i hope

#

I hope it's not Luffy

#

Who else would it be

#

Other than this unrevealed joyboy it would have to be a relevant character I assume

tacit veldt
#

I just hope It isn't fuckin Scopper GAban

plucky kiln
#

I don't see how Scopper Gaban is important enough to have to do with the End of One Piece, and to be hyped by oda since 2007

Although I hope he will appear somehow again, but not as eye patch guy

#

I think it's gonna be rocks.

Dreads and and an eye patch.

Out of all those options I would say Joyboy

Rocks is dead. Unless is a flashback we aren't gonna see him.

Oda has been excited to draw a specific pirate with an eyepatch

Best bet in order

  1. Rocks
  2. Luffy
  3. Bb
sturdy hound
#

pretty sure that's misinterpreting what oda said. iirc, he just said that he keeps the classic pirate features like the eyepatch, fake leg, fake arm, and whatnot for special characters only. he doesnt want to give them to anyone. zeff had the leg and crocodile the arm, so he's just waiting to give someone an eyepatch

#

it has nothing to do with the end of the series

#

@night jewel might know for sure

night jewel
#

I think he did say that a character with an eyepatch will appear "in the final scenes of One Piece", let me grab the source rq

#

From One Piece 10th Treasures:

Indeed, a pirate. Very easy to understand, but if you take off the eye patch, there's a big difference to one with, and one without (the one without looks like a normal middle-aged man). So then, that means, eye patch = pirate. It’s just like, afro = champion type thing... so have you noticed yet? Well, you probably haven’t. That in One Piece, there has not been one single pirate with an eye patch! ... yes i know, who cares right? But this is my secret "behind the scenes policy". It’s not like every pirate has an eye patch!!! ... right? You can totally draw pirates without an eye patch!!!!
And with that thought in mind it all began; the story of a normal looking boy's pirate story.
I thought, if there's an image in everyone's head about what a pirate is, then I thought I would write/draw about the process of the boy getting there. But its not like I dislike eye patches, so in the final scenes of One Piece, there is one pirate who appears with an eye patch
I'm itching to draw this character.

sturdy hound
#

oo, interesting

#

that kinda feels like he's saying "luffy will get an eye patch at the eos"

#

but then that last line lol

Does anyone else think that oden might have explained how to read the ancient language in his journal or even recorded what he read from the poneglyphs and now Yamato knows about all of that?

#

That is assuming no one else went through his journal

grizzled valley
#

i dont know about explaining how to read the ancient language because that might be uhh idk too OP? that or it seems to be such vital information that I dont think hes just going to write it down in his journal. But recording the details of what he read from the poneglyphs is a solid maybe, maybe not all the information it has, but some important details that stood out to him. Also I dont think anyone else has read his journal after his death, since Yamato found it and said that he hasnt shown the journal to anyone else

split glacier

The eye patch pirate is gonna be someone new

I been thinking about this, what if xebec is shanks father and shanks joined Roger's pirates after rocks pirates lost to roger and garp, idk if this is true lmk ur opinion

plucky kiln
#

but I think what makes even more sense is that shanks is a son of the CD's or a baby of some slave of the CD's

What rayleigh said about having a baby on board reminding of the old times can most likely is a hint for the existence of some kind of baby on rogers ship

What supports the son of CD or son of Slave theory is that Roger and Garp decided to protect the CD's and their slaves. I mean garp is a hero, he does things like that, but roger ? why would of all people he care to protect those assholes. but then I reread the panel and noticed that "and their slaves" was bold in the manga, probably to emphasise some kind of importance on it.

Thats why I think shanks or buggy, being a baby of a slave makes sense.

#

A thing that would support shanks be a son of the Celestial Dragons would be the respect that was shown to Shanks at marineford from Sengoku and the way the gorosei treated him. Shanks being a CD could explain those things.

Although it seemed that Sengoku actually respected shanks as a person, but yes idk

#

I mean Buggy could be rox son, and Shanks could be a CD's son too. that would be weird but yeah why not

pure raven
plucky kiln
#

A thing that speaks against shanks being the son of xebec is that Oda ig doesn't like to use familial connections to emphasise ones strength or importance.

He didnt do that with zoro, luffy and pretty much a other characters. sure oda did it sometimes, when it was neccessary e.g. momo, or ace as gold rogers son. but we know from oda personally that he doesnt like blood relation stuff etc

plucky kiln
#

Now that I think of it, I think the government having the last poneglyph would make a good key for the begin of the final war. in order to become the pirate king, luffy would have to infiltrate mary joa

#

Or maybe the last Poneglyph is on God Valley. We know nothing about god valley, but if it turns out that god valley before the CD taking over it used to be related to the ancient kingdom, it would make sense for the last poneglyph to be there. roger might have realised that and went there again with his crew to look for it

torpid mist
#

Why did oden need to take roger back to wano? It seemed like oden knew exactly where the poneglyph on wano was, and he can read the text. Are we supposed to believe he never read or didnt remember what it said? Or was Roger using voice of all things on it necessary to unlock the road to raftel?

plucky kiln
sand sail
#

Yeah, he probably didn't care or didn't read the message. It was something completely irrelevant to his life beyond the fact that his family taught the language. Even if he had read it, why would he remember it?

What do You think of the akainu being a member of sword theory?

modest skiff
# slate mirage What do You think of the akainu being a member of sword theory?

I don’t think Akainu fits the archetype of Navy members we’ve seen so far. In general it appears Sword is both anti-CD and anti pirate. Akainu is a major boot licker. Garp, maybe, but not Akainu. Aokiji embodied the type of philosophy that goes into sword. Akainu and Aokiji fought for control of the navy because they firmly disagree

slate mirage
#

The moment where he attempts to kill Coby is the biggest problem tho

# twin panther

I bet it's gonna be the left eye.

One piece has this habbit of character having markings and scars on the left side of their face, especially the monkey D family, rayleigh, zoro, king in these chapters.

I think Luffy having an eye patch would cover up his other defining characteristic (his scar) and it'll be saved for someone who's got a clean face, waiting for a scar/eye patch

So Not really a theory but another thread to something. Apparently Shandora stems from a sanskrit word of moon. So basically, The Shandians and Lunarians have the same name. mabye the name of the lost ancient kingdom Is Lunaria as a precursor or counterpart to shandora

Zoros gonna be the one the defeat Blackbeard.

#

Dunno how many times this theory has been discussed here. But I just thought about it. I really think that void century is the dark spot of world goverement. I think in that 100 years timeline there were wars between different kingdoms for the power and I believe that the kingdoms who are part of world goverment also took part in it and emerged out victorious from that war by massacring millions of people. I also think that it maybe in someway related to the ancient weapons and by some way I think that these ancient weapons were used in the war of void century and then they were hidden by the respective kingdoms considering the dangreous threats those weapons posed to the world. This full out war led to the emergence of current world goverment imo

#

In Episode 102, Zoro, Luffy, & Chopper stumbled across an underground ruin where they found a poneglyph. I think this poneglyph mentions something about one of the ancient weapons. I believe that the Nefertari Family were a traitor to the world government. The world government didn't know about it during the void century and suspected them of being a traitor after the war. All of the above points I mentioned can be wrong or irrelevant, as this is a filler episode.

I found an interesting theory regarding the Ancient Kigdom's name. It's a name that's we & people in the OP world already knows. Because why shot professor Clover by trying to reveal the name? No one among the marines there would find significance in a name that has been erased in history, unless the name of the Ancient Kingdom is still used today

tepid coral
# ancient vault Basically all of it

Don't think we have ever gotten to know about the connection between void century and the weapons or anything about the void centuary clearly , think only one thing was clear that a war happened in void century and then wg came to power after void century. The way you directly say all of it is cannon makes me sound dumb that I sent it here

# placid kite not saying she isn’t strong but come on she died during child birth

Yes but thats a female, im talking about males in this case cuz no female character is really that strong in op except for big mom and she's not compared to normal humans relying on her past as a child, but the D's are all humans and most of them built their strength from training and studying for knowledge, so i say that if Portgas D. Rouge trained she would've been strong but she chose not to

Rouge always gave me strong vibes. What she did with Ace is no small thing.

Akainu is just upset that as the "boss" he still doesn't have control and really is just still a pet dog. Sword seems too "positive" to have Akainu as member. Dude didn't hesitate to murder Koby over his absolute justice. Those aren't the ideals it seems of Sword.

slate mirage
#

It definetly makes sense what you're saying

#

Akainu being part of sword is farfetched

#

But whatever's the deal with Akainu, i hope it's something great,since he's one of my favorite characters

ancient vault
#

I think akainu def knows about sword. Theres no way he doesnt as the fleet admiral
956 drake reports to coby
And in 957 suddenly akainu and the rest of the higher ups know.
Also yeah the scene with the gorosei is more about Akainu being angry st the fact that hes gonna get trouble for this and that the doing of doffy has caused him multiple problems. Context makes this pretty clear here

sand sail
#

Akainu being part of Sword isn't really farfetched, like swrml says he has to know about it and be connected at the least. It's a marine group and he's the Fleet Admiral, by default he'd be the ultimate head of whatever they're doing at the least.

#

Being willing to kill another marine isn't really relevant to it, Sword is just an undercover marine group. That's something marines all across the Navy tend to do.

modest skiff
#

Couldn't Kong have Sword as a secret to the navy?

While he was the fleet admiral of the Marines, he had absolute control of the organization, under the World Government. Now, as World Government Commander-in-Chief, he works for the World Government, and possesses not only power over the Marines, but also authority over the Government's espionage agents, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Enies Lobby, and the Cipher Pols. According to the World Government hierarchy, his authority is second only to the Five Elders and Im.[5]

#

From Kong's wiki

sand sail
#

Not really, Sengoku seemed to be part of Sword back in the day as an admiral with Corazon, but even besides that Sword is a marine group. Kong would have ultimate authority of them all as far as he's above the marines too, but he wouldn't really be making a secret group within the marines. There wouldn't really be a reason for him to either, and Akainu still gets information from Sword so there's no way it's a secret from him

modest skiff
#

yeah not secret from akainu, but secret from others it seems

sand sail
#

Secret from others would be reasonable, no one below maybe Vice Admiral would ever have to know about it for it to function.

#

Maybe even no one under the admirals would know about it, even better.

modest skiff
#

I'm trying to remember, did an admiral ever interact with sword?

Sengoku's the only one who may have, but that's just assuming he and Corazon were in it

When was x drake sword? At sabaody, Kizaru was running around

He had to have been back then since he's been a pirate since back then as well

yeah CrocThink x drake seemed legitimately terrified of Kizaru back then, which makes me think at least Kizaru didn't know about Sword

I just figured Drake knew Kizaru wouldn't hold back even if he did know, I can't see Kizaru not being in the loop about it

#

I think i might know when one piece ends

#

This is purely based on guess:

  1. Introduction- 100 chapters
  2. Grand Line/Paradise- from 100 to 600 which is 500 chapters
  3. New world- from 600 to ????; my guess is 1100 to be symmetrical with the first half (so wano might end by 1060, and then we get elbaf until roughly 1100)
  4. Climax and epilogue/ the final war- well,to be perfectly symmetrical then it would mean it's the same length as the introduction ,but since the final war+ all the other stuff can't be so short,my guess is that it would be double ,so 200.
    • A grand total of 1300 chapters of one piece ,which should end in 2029,if i did the math corectly.
#

Oda probably is not trying to be symmetrical,so this is a complete guess,and it may be wrong,but oh well,i tried

#

A very small theory, I think kaido is from the D, in the new chapter it appears that kaido and king know about Joyboy and king thinks kaido is Joyboy, and theres a very high chance joyboy is from the D, if you are Joyboy its most likely that you are from the will of d, and also in the end of the chapter we see luffy and kaido laughing and saying this is getting fun, the only ones who say that are people from the will of D

its not a troll, Oda can easily make a scenario saying nika and his tribe were very poor but they found the fruit and they ate it

maybe because nika doesnt know that this is a fire fruit

maybe he thinks its a normal fruit
You dont know

We are talking about oda here, theres no thing such as limitless possibilities

thats why its called a theory

well im talking on based what that guy said

So in the cover page of chapter 1036 Below luffy there were some words which were written, Solel or soliel 967, which ofcourse i went to translate and look what i found, about the number 967 of course i went to one piece chapter 967, and now im gonna shock yall, so see in this chapter its called rogers adventure, it was the chapter were roger arrived to raftel, and had the famous panel, HE LAUGHED. This cant be a coincidence, so is oda telling us the the sun has something to do with the one piece and raftel,

pure raven

My theory is that King told Kaido about Joyboy and hence he knows who Joyboy is and what he intended to do, which is also why I believe the Lunarians were wiped out by the World Government since they had information about the void century except for the one test subject.

muted ember
#

I don't think he's the last Lunarian bc the government is still paying for info, and King's subordinates didn't kno he was one so I'm assuming there are others

#

But a lot of ppl were saying Kaido thought he was Joyboy and got depressed when he realized he wasn't. Here it doesn't seem like he cared and he was kind of trolling King about it

Here are the poeple tied to the ancient kingdom: alabasta, has poneglyph stating the location of pluto. Shandia, has poneglyph with location of poseidon. Wano: has a road poneglyph and kozuki clan, the creators of poneglyphs and whose blood can control zunesha (uranus?). Fish-man island: has poseidon and a road poneglyph. Lunarians that used to live on god's land, unknown possessions (probably something that attracted celestial dragons). Zou, is on zunesha, has road poneglyph.

I don't necessarily hold that same thought I mentioned above. Dragon probably has a unrelated wind/sky fruit or control over Uranus but I lean more towards Momo being Uranus or something. What ever it shall be~

Dragon supposedely has a thunderbird logia

Dragon probably doesn't have Uranus at this point. It can't be a devil fruit, they don't really hold fruits in that regard, because if anything the Gura Gura would've been it.

cuz in some mythology, the bird is supposed to be able to control wind and storms

It's probably not going to be Momonosuke, being able to control Zunesha isn't really an ancient weapon worthy thing unless there's a herd of them out there

So about DFs:

We know that if the owner dies the fruits randomly appear somewhere. But we don't know when. WB died standing and so his DF could have just been respawned somewhere else, but BB had time to get it.
We also know that a knife has something to do with getting a DF from other people. Maybe its a normal knife to rip out the heart of the user, or maybe its some kind of special knife, like of seastone or idk.
And apparently eating someone alive can transfere the ones abilities to you.

There is a theory about Two Devilfruits Tree.
Adam & Eve. The WG's greatest treasure would be to have access on one Tree, and thats why doflamingo thought that if he would have been immortal he would be able to control the world with all the fruits of the tree

And maybe the other tree is in elbaf, being passed down from joy boy. and bb might be heading for elbaf to get that tree

I can only recommend to watch the theory.

Well Adam and Eve most likely are connected to eachother. And a DF Tree being the treasure of Marie Joa somehow fits in the picture.

It also explains the amount of DFs the WG has. Like DFs actually are rare things in the world, yet the CD's can use them freely on their slaves to play, The Marine got some strong DFs as well, and Spandam could just get some DFs from his sources to give them CP9.

And I like the relation to Joy Boy. Elbaf also seems to be a country not affiliated to the WG, and we also saw some mysterious huge thing looking like a huge tree on elbaf flashback from big mom. The Giants could have protected that tree all these centuries from the influence of the WG.

So when the WG agents invade/surround wano after kaido is beaten. what happens ?

New alliances could be formed, after all, the warriors fighting each other would have the same enemy. I know they are weakened, but since they cant just run away, they will have to fight until all those WG agents are beaten. Maybe BM Pirates, Kaido Pirates and Luffys side will fight together. I mean they basically have to work together against the WG

Unless of course, some new parties join the game, like former pirates who were affiliated with the WB Pirates arrive in wano because marco wished them to, and they could handle the WG
or idk, maybe momonosuke just shifts away the entire country to another place so the WG cant come

ok so Morgans said there's been a fatality and an attempted murder

zinc jasper

When

robust sierra

chapter 956

#

my guess is they wouldn't ask Morgans to shut up about it if it was catching sabo

#

so probably Vivi's dad or vivi was murdered

#

catching sabo who has a bounty would be something they'd want the world to know, so people don't form terrorist groups

#

cobra being a victim of attempted murder isn't as news worthy imo so he probably died going to the reverie, and that sends a message that's terrible to the world

#

makes sense to me

#

PLUS Blackbeard says in response to the news: "If the Navy's only going to take it I might aswell claim the prize --> we know that he was hunting the Mera Mera before, so him saying that means he might be coming to collect whatever the navy took, in this case that's Sabo himself and the prize is the fruit

after all garp even confirmed that something regarding the alabasta kingdom has happened. something about blood being spilled

zinc jasper

Now I’m glad sabo isn’t involved… I hope

robust sierra
#

well it's just using logic it's not even so deep that I'd compare it to a very developed theory

#

like what the one piece is or something

zinc jasper
#

Hmm

robust sierra
#

was the blood spilled in the attempted murder or the fatality? likely if it was attempted murder, it wouldn't be so bad that garp would say don't look at humans with fear, since he himself knows they attempted to kidnap shirahoshi infront of them

#

basically, attempted murder already was witnessed at the reverie because of charlos and lucci, but it got broken up

#

the WG would cover up an actual murder of a king after the reverie though, especially since Imu wanted to kill Vivi it seems, but then there's the matter of Cobra being old and sick, so did vivi his successor really die? I doubt it knowing Oda he probably died saving Vivi

abstract tulip
#

Vc anyone

uneven elk
robust sierra
#

luffy Blackbeard and shirahoshi had their pictures cut up in Im's room, but vivi didn't and then something happens with alabasta, so I think Imu chose vivi to kill

#

as for how he did it who knows, but cobra having no successor except vivi and with him being sick and old means alabasta will not be able to continue its rule to the next generation without vivi, and I highly doubt Oda would do that

#

so based on these things, Blackbeard is coming to take Sabo's fruit, meaning hes been captured by marines and is probably being questioned or tortured, Cobra probably died and it's being covered up (like Pedro he was shown to perhaps not have much time anyways due to his mortality being questioned and his health declining, so it makes sense he'd die) and he did want to ask the WG about the poneglyphs aswell so it all connects, despite knowing it's a taboo subject.

#

what does this mean? the next development I foresee, is that Hancock is captured and sent as a slave in mariejois, after the government finds out she was a slave originally belonging to a CD. meanwhile Sabo is captured there aswell so luffy has to go help them both now post Wano. Blackbeard is going there which is great cause he'd be the next yonko on the list to beat considering he wants shanks last. that's where it can happen, while he couldn't save ace from Blackbeard he can try to save Sabo from him to show his progress

#

and then it all ties to sun god Nika, whoever that is

#

the next time he appears, it will show his/her face

#

and Nika is a mythical figure that freed all the slaves so who is it? idk but I think the legend is real since it's confidential info

#

now what does that mean, it means that whatever happens at mariejoas will result in the abolition of slavery due to this sun god Nika figure, and that ties to the removal of the celestial dragons

pure raven
#

this just sounds like headcanon

robust sierra
#

well yeah it's a theory

#

but if luffy catches wind of the news he is for sure going to where Sabo is if he's not dead

#

the "greatest war" will, in my opinion be held at mariejoas and that falls in line with the idea that it would be a world shaking event that makes marineford look tiny

i like the idea that we could have a luffy rescuing ace situation with rescuing sabo from mariejoa but instead of luffy failing like he did in impel down he’d rescue sabo at mariejoa, showing how much he’s progressed since then; now being strong enough to protect those he cares about. that way the rescue sabo situation wouldn’t take as long and the strawhats could still somehow fit elbaf into their journey lol.

Maybe that Barto cover story where he casually takes over Shanks’ territory was meant to be foreshadowing at the lengths the Grand Fleet will go in Luffy’s name. Casually essentially declaring war on shanks in luffys name is brash, and so would going to war against the world government in luffys name to save his brother. they will do what they feel is right even when it may not be.

what do you think is Kaido's ideal world?

Where he is the “Joyboy” that is the only one with the power to change the world. Kaido then proceeds to start what is the greatest war the world has ever seen. He’s a beast that loves battle and war, after all he did try going to Marineford when it absolutely wasn’t necessary for him to do so. His crew is also named the Beasts Pirates, and is full of pirates that are generally aggressive in nature. Kaido and crew then fight a bunch of really strong opponents and triumph over them, and then Kaido eventually becomes the king of the pirates. This ideal world is something he knows is completely impossible, and we have yet to learn what made Kaido sure he couldn’t make his dreams into a reality

pure raven

I’m just interested in why he chose specifically Wano to set that up

His reasons are definitely gonna be more than just “it’s hard for other people to enter, perfect”

Kaido directly mentioned that Wano is special

Wano is a huge arc and it’s made to bring the story to its final stage, of course the lore is gonna be expanded

So in reverie the news came out that vivi was a strawhat because wapol told them abt it. So vivi and sabo were captured by imu sama herself and she wanted to have a conversation with them in person before she sent them to impel down. And on the trip to impel down while they were still in Mariejois vivi escaped (well get to see vivis power up BoaBlush) and helped sabo out too and they ran into kuma along the way and sabo called out to him but he didn’t do anything. Sabo tried to drag kuma with him but he wouldn’t move then the celestial dragon riding him got mad and shot kuma but before he would go out he told sabo to take his devil fruit. And the nearest fruit turned into the nikyu-nikyu fruit and he picked it up and ran and catched up with vivi and he grabbed her by the wrist and took her to an ally way for a breather and asked her if she could eat the fruit she was hesitant at first but ended up eating it in the end and she got paws and sabo asked her to think of any place in the world and to slap him and herself so they would get transported there and right when the marines found them they got teleported but their gonna float like that for 3 days and by that time the strawhats would have been sailing for elbaf and yeah that’s how she rejoins and we’ll get to see sabo on the sunny

3: there is an ancient weapon that is said to be in alabasta and since imu sama prolly knows abt the void century maybe she knows the truth of pluton
(Bonus: how did the alabasta kingdom manage to stay in power for so long from the same family even though there were probably many kingdoms who wanted their land? Because every hundred years pluton is born so it scares them off)

# abstract pond I hope if Vivi returns she has trained somehow because she was weak

Of course she did
I think after alabasta she saw how weak she really was and how much she had to depend on he friends so she started training right when the strawhats left and as she saw the things they did on the newspaper she knew that if she were to ever going to rejoin them she would have to be just as strong as the others
So she probably learned some knew things to do with her peacock slashers (I imagine them as bracelets she where’s at all times and when she needs to fight she presses a button on her bracelet that makes it turn into her peacock slashers but with more blades and another button makes the blades bigger.

From what we have read in the last chapters, it seems that Kaido not only knows a lot about Joy boy, he is even inspired by him to the point where he thought of becoming Joy boy himself.
But from kings flashback in the last chapter, it seems that Kaido, later on, has become more doubtful about himself being able to be Joy Boy, not because of lacking strength and power, since King has said to Kaido in the flashback to continue being the strongest, which means that Kaido has been thinking of himself being the strongest. But still, Kaido doubted himself being able to become JoyBoy, maybe because in order to become Joy Boy you need to have other things, not only power. Maybe you need to have the ability to attract the people around you which is the case of Luffy but not Kaido since he already said to Yamato that she can't have friends because she is an Oni, and those who claim to be her friends are only afraid of her. I think that Kaido was actually saying that because he experienced that in the past.

# pure raven Firstly, I just can't imagine the current Luffy beating Kaido, and the same goes...

However, in the second duel between Kaido and Luffy, after throwing Luffy out of Onigashima, Kaido said to Luffy '' even you can't become Joyboy'' which means at some point, he had a doubt about Luffy.
Know here is how I think the scenario will be. Luffy will give Kaido a good fight but he will be defeated. Kid and Law will be defeated by Big mom. Somehow Yamato will get to the area where Luffy and Kaido are. She will fight her father and she will get defeated as well, but at the same tame Kaido will get his hands on Oden's journal which he has never seen before, and he will read it, then he will have a discussion with Yamato which will conclude by Kaido being convinced that Luffy is the one destined to be JoyBoy. After that, he will give a last order to Yamato to take Luffy and everyone out of Onigashima while he will take care of big mom (this alliance is destined to be broken one way or another). While everyone escapes out thanks to Momo Kaido will take the island full of explosions somewhere else while fitghing big mom and eventually he will drop it somewhere and achieve his goal of dying and killing big mom with him

Looshy sneaking in a theory

#

just before I start reading. You should try implementing images and sectioning or at least paragraphing ur theories. Then its a lot better to read than just plain text

#

Okay so the one tribe going down alone actually comes first in the cover story so it might make sense (obviously if enel read them in a chronically correct order)

#

But I dont really understand the celestial dragon connection here.
The celestial dragon were created out of the 20 families that helped out Im during the war. The World Government being created happened around the same time of the Celestial Dragons being born.

The symbol youre speaking reminds me more so of a dragon foot which is why I theorized in the past about dragons living on the redline and stuff like that. Since we already know the Celestial Dragons have a fascination with Dragons as they ordered Vegapunk to create artificial Dragons.
In fact you just gave me a good idea which I will write down after I address ur points.
I like the idea of implementing all moon tribes into the void century like that but idk if I agree or can see where youre coming from.

Im just really confused on the celestial Dragon part because that term as far as we know didnt exist before this

modest skiff
#

I have read this situation a bit differently. Rather than all the groups you described coming from the moon, I have been assuming Clover's depiction of lots of moons being similar to how humans used to think Earth was the center. I think some races came from the moon and other races came from other planets. I think some races may have worshipped the sun, but my other interpretation is that perhaps Lunarians themselves were worshipped similar to the sun, since they could control fire.

#

yeah i agree. I think its possible there was some kind of guarded resource/power

#

I haven't decided which races I think were there to begin with, but I am pretty sure giants were one of them, since they appear to live on a giant world tree

modest skiff
#

@pure raven I also agree with your basic premise that themes throughout the story will mostly end up related to the void century. As an example, when Fisher Tiger describes himself rejecting human blood because there is a devil inside him that can't ever forgive humans, I think we are intended to draw a parallel to the ocean rejecting devil fruit users due to some sort of catastrophic event or betrayal of the planet/ocean

#

I definitely think it has to do with the ocean itself having some kind of spirit/soul which hates devil fruits. One of my totally baseless theories is that the planet was colonized for devil fruits, then the evil colonizers used the devil fruits in some bad way that made the ocean reject the souls/spirits within devil fruits, which means devil fruit users can't swim because they are being rejected by the ocean

sand sail

The Adam and Eve trees don't actually seem to have anything to do with devil fruits

The ancient kingdom isn't too far off from the giants as far as generations go as well, their tree would more likely be Yggdrasil, not Adam or Eve either way

#

World Government controls the yonkou system by using their front man and puppet Shanks. They want all 4 to deadlock each other so none becomes strong enough to reach laughtale/one piece. Cp0 has clearly infiltrated all of the yonkou crews. By being present at big mom's tea party to dealing with Doflamingo/Orochi for weopans & being able to follow blackbeard all the way to the secret Baltigo island.

#

Moreover, the big fish ie yonkou to feed on the small ones i.e worst generation + others

#

Very convenient for the Govt to let the pirates take each other out, also from the looks of it the Government allowed blackbeard to become the yonkou. They wanted pirates to eliminate and weaken/fight each other for the position as they immediately started speculating for the next one after the war.

Rayleigh could have been the WSS before Mihawk, Mihawk was 19 during Roger's execution, and while Roger was King of the pirates Rayleigh has had a sexy purple outfit as well as used 3 different sword types and duel weilded as well, Rayleigh is only 35 years older than Mihawk so during the years inbetween Roger's execution and Luffy getting saved is probably when Mihawk got named WSS as Rayleigh didn't do much anymore since Roger's death, Rayleigh was nicknamed the Dark King usually because of his proficiency in haki, and we seen Rayleigh fight with a sword it's only possible he was the WSS (not officially titled) before Mihawk obtained the title now Mihawk is 43 and Rayleigh is 78, since Roger was king of the pirates Rayleigh being the WSS at the time would make sense while Luffy becoming the Pirate King, Zoro having the ambition of becoming the WSS it's a good parallel

So you're telling me that the guy who stopped Kaido from intervening in Marineford, tried to stop Ace from facing Teach, stole a fruit from a government ship, got distracted while some kid ate it under his nose (kid that, btw, he groomed into becoming a pirate that would take the grand line by storm and would wreck a government facility) is part of a government plot for pirates to destroy each other.

I think the Gorosei think Shanks is their guy, but in reality, he is playing them to give Luffy time to grow big enough to overthrow them

"Shanks is a WG plant" believers should have realized by now the Elders would have sent him to the shadow realm as soon as he let some 7 year old kid steal and eat the fruit he also stole from a WG ship

And the Elders definitely don't think he's "their guy"

that's when Shanks went to talk with the Elders.
They accepted, but still said he had no business being there. That doesn't sount at all like someone that is the WG's guy

His standing, because he's a pirate. a pirate can not participate in politics, but since the gorosei think they are showing him mercy, they think they can say "piss off kid, you might make us look bad"

I feel that, but when they said since its you we'll make an exception, wonder what ties Shanks has with the government

amber oar
#

Exactly, a pirate. Not a spy posing as a pirate.

If any, the wording suggests they made an exception for him as an individual, rather than because he belong to this or that group. Maybe they have a deal, maybe he's indeed a CD, maybe he know something or maybe simply they know he's measured enough to talk with

#

The Florian Fog monsters are complete unknowns. The only in-world info we have on them is from sailor legends, and those are likely thought of as exaggerated. However, they certainly are NOT sky island shadows, since the Florian Triangle is too dark and foggy, and there is no sky island in the area. Nor are they elephant feet; they are too different in shape, and they have eyes that can pierce the fog. My guess is that they are some ESPECIALLY massive Neptunians, who stick to the shadows and hunt ships for food. Perhaps they were Oda's first concepts of a legendary Kraken...

# shadow ruin If luffy beats kaidou then he’s effectively the strongest

Kaido already beat luffy two times, and it will make sense if luffy beats kaido because hes been holding up a mountain while fighting luffy, fought kinemon and his people, then fought zoro and law and luffy, and luffy got destroyed, and then now is fighting luffy again, kaido is stronger than luffy but kaido is very tired, so luffy wont be the strongest even after he beats kaido

The second King flashback is really throwing me. I'm getting the sense Kaido was lying to King in the first flashback to get his cooperation, kind of an parallel to his lying to Oden about leaving Wano. I would bet this theme of long game betrayal will be huge in Kaido's backstory.

why shanks is the weakest yonko :

  1. Why it can't be Kaido

-Kaido is unarguably the strongest Yonko

"Our enemy is the strongest Pirate in the world" Killer
"Damn right" Kid's reply
Keep in mind that both of them have already fought the Red-haired Pirates.
"I came here to cut down Kaido, the one known as the strongest in the world" Zoro
"Island of the strongest" chapter 997's title
"Wororororo I'll show you the power of the strongest in the world" Kaido to the Red Scabbards.
"If It's one on one, bet on Kaido, that's what people say" Narrator.
-Kaido has absolutely 0 narrative relevance other than strength, his character is just strength,strength,strength, take that away from him and he's the most boring of the four.

  1. Why It's most likely not Bigmom either

-Was shown to be a match for Kaido for a 13 hours fight in which she was fighting without ZEUS.
-"She is a foreign captain whose strength rivals Kaido" "So there's two Kaidos now?" samurais on Bigmom at Onigashima
-She almost never gets injured.
-Kid's alliance chose to go after Shanks instead of Bigmom (who they already failed against) and Kaido (who is the strongest Yonko)

  1. Why it could be Teach but It's unlikely

-BB has a lot of room to grow and has only become a Yonko a year ago, meaning he could currently be the weakest
-BB has the most plot relevance out of all Yonko because he is Final Villain material
-BB is the most unique Yonko having 2 dfs .
-BB already left a life-long injury on Shanks before he even ate a DF.
-It is foreshadowed that Teach and Shanks will fight each other in the future and if there's to be a loser it won't be Teach as he's FV material.

  1. Why it makes sense for Shanks to be the weakest Yonko
    -Shanks' crew is highlighted instead of him chapter 957 when they reveal his bounty,
    -He is the youngest of the four and already at an handicap due to losing an arm.
    -Narratively, Shanks doesn't need to be the strongest to be relevant to the story
    Yeah bois : he is the weakest

I think there are different versions of cocting when it comes to brawlers and pure swordsman.

Swordsman
Zoro & Oden:

  • couldn't use defensive cocting
  • infuses attacks with coc (probably an advance ver. of "lion song" where Zoro can hear the voices of objects)

Brawler
Luffy, Kaido, Yamato(?), Whitebeard, Shanks(?), Bigmom(?) Roger(could be a brawler, as seen when Roger and Garp are fighting together):

  • has defensive cocting.
  • can split skies upon collision of cocting(?)

Luffy’s not more durable thanks to cocting, neither Is kaido

its the same reason only Kaido and BM have that iron skin

zinc meteor
visual merlin
#

nah he was already able to take some hits

#

You mean in act one? Yea he’s gotten more durable since then, but that’s not due to cocting

#

since when?

visual merlin
#

I mean, for one we saw him just fly through a boro breath

#

in any case, there's a lot of different things that are saying there's no "defensive" cocting

zinc meteor
#

luffy dodged most of the attack yet he is still down from pain

visual merlin
#

I mean he got right back up and kept fighting

zinc meteor
#

he is obviously not league apart when it comes to durability since act one. It is amplified from cocting i believe

visual merlin
#

There's not much indication of that, and with all the other things it doesn't really add up

visual merlin
#

eh, we see the same thing with other characters

zinc meteor
#

literally luffy is taking blows with kaido rn

visual merlin
#

law somehow tanked a cocting thunder bagua

#

and seems to be fine

#

But still, if it were defensive cocting there would be a space between an attack and their body, but when say characters attack him they actually touch kaido

zinc meteor
#

for me, law only managed to take that because zoro took the hit first

visual merlin
#

another thing, if cocting were the reason for BM and Kaido's durability, they wouldn't be the only 2 people who have it

visual merlin
visual merlin
#

there's just a lot of reasons against this

#

honestly, take the thick skin aside. I don't mean it that way

unborn onyx
#

Wdym

zinc meteor
#

just wanna say that their passive defense is strong because of constant use of cocting

visual merlin
#

But their thick skin is their entire defense

#

they don't have any special defense outside of it, and if they did it'd still make a gap between them and the incoming attacks

#

Even when luffy describes the ability he says its the ability to infuse attacks with CoC

zinc meteor
#

ok, then lets trash that defensive cocting type. Let's just say that they can use cocting throughout their entire body at some point. In which enhances their durability significantly

visual merlin
#

Bro thats the same thing

zinc meteor
#

in this panel, luffy used his invisible cocting as a defensive measure

#

no way he simply tanked that and went right back up

visual merlin
#

do you think that just because he survived the hit?

zinc meteor
#

kinda

visual merlin
#

I don't think just because luffy is able to take these hits that there must be any sort of defensive cocting

kaido using defensive cocting

same thing happened with Page one

if the cocting were defensive we'd see that gap when he's getting hit by something that isn't cocting, but we don't, he just gets hit directly

#

i dont understand how it cant work like that though

visual merlin
#

what do you mean?

zinc meteor
#

if what ur saying is true that luffy just somehow became tankier, instead of an actual reason

visual merlin
#

he didn't become tankier, its the same as the other characters

#

Law as far as we know didn't do anything to become this tanky, yet he is

zinc meteor
#

he definitely became one. Even faster

visual merlin
#

and we don't see him faster either, plus what would the argument even be there? Its not like cocting is gonna increase speed

zinc meteor
#

last time, he cant even completely dodge a thunder bagua. But now, he's blocking it

visual merlin
#

he didn't stop any thunder bagua

#

he's getting blocked and slapped away by normal swings

#

and that won't help anyway, because unless you're going to argue cocting increases speed, that would just be showing that characters sometimes just grow seemingly

kk u got a point

that it's possible for OP characters to get tankier just from fighting

sand sail
#

It's not pushing past their limit, it's training from the fight

#

Basically stress testing themselves until they get stronger, but it's not an automatic thing so far

Yo guys how high do you think luffys bounty will be if he defeats kaido

wary fossil
#

can =/= does. And everybody that has had haki increase has been pushed past their previous haki limit. Luffy doesn't get stronger from just using hardening

upbeat pecan
#

Ill be shocked if luffy gets 5 billion

#

Thats whitebeard and roger level bounty

sand sail
#

Luffy grew stronger against Kaido by just realizing the technique, not by breaking any wall that was keeping him down. And in Udon, he just trains normally for it all after unlocking it during a panic situation, not because he was pushed to the ends of his life

haki limit is not their physical limit

Guys you think nico robin is about to be captured. We all know whats gonna happen if she does get captured again but i just hope thay doesnt become the case you know

Luffy knew, it's the same lesson Rayleigh taught him, it was nothing new or unknown to him at the time

upbeat pecan
#

Yeah but at the same time i dont think anyone ever mentioned that it was in fact conquerers haki coating

wary fossil
#

Being at your haki limit doesn't necessarily mean you're about to die. Luffy has had to wait on techniques because his haki was fully depleted

upbeat pecan
#

He just assumed it was the advanced arnament haki but didnt realize that conquerers haki could be utilized for coating

sand sail
#

No one's ever gotten this kind of a "bloom" while having no haki available

upbeat pecan
#

People were saying before that luffy couldnt combine conquerers with arnament but after seeing the latest chapter i highly suspect its possible

sand sail
#

Oh yeah, that definitely seems to be what he's been doing

grizzled fog
#

He’s been doing that for a while

upbeat pecan
#

But when i saw luffy use roc gun again with conquerers haki and arnament haki i was like “its definitely not a manga drawing effect” his arm is definitely armed with arnament and conquerers

#

Also luffy is mvp. Hes actually done more damage on kaido that oden or big mom could

Are you trying to insinuate that luffy is stronger than Linlin eren Yeager

so he gets at best a 500 mil increase lol?

What if Black Beard gets the One Piece first and he challenges Luffy to a fight

#

Like he says "if you want to take this crown, come at me Straw Hat"

#

BUT it's a count down. Remember, they needed to be at that spot at exactly 20 years, but maybe it's a little more time over.

So for that final battle, it's Luffy vs Black Beard, and whoever wins, gets to see why Roger needed to be there at a specific date

opaque jackal
#

Im quite sure that Blackbeard will get the Pirate King before luffy

#

I think oda will make somebody become the pirate king before luffy and he will have to fight him

#

He may just have everyone else do all the work and he swipes them for himself

#

how do we know he hasn't had someone like lefette make rubbings of the ponoglyphs

#

Plus, Luffy himself doesn't really care about the Ponoglyth's specifically, cause he's just wondering more where the one piece is to be the pirate king, but his navigator and archeologist are handling them

# fathom matrix how do we know he hasn't had someone like lefette make rubbings of the ponoglyph...

Even if he's interested i don't think he has reached the straw hats pirates point yet, because firstly, its VERY hard to find someone who's able to read whats written on the poneglyphes. Secondly, the red poneglyphes are secured very hardly on each island as there's people that guard them so if Titch have got any copy of whats written it oda will deliver the message, par example if he have found the one in Zoo island (which i dont think he ever could find that because nobody knows its place except for the leaders of Minks and their loyal guards) the leaders would let them know that they believe someone sneak into the poneglyphes place

akainu is 55 years old ... meaning he was 15 years old when Rox was defeated at god Valley ... so how does he know about Rox?

unborn onyx
#

He is fleet admiral, so it's natural for him to have that information

muted ember
#

There's ppl who weren't born then who know about it like Hina. My guess it's mostly been erased but certain ppl have heard about it one way or another

vestal orbit
#

the only plausible explanation is that he is rox, just deaged by the previous user of bonney's fruit and his heart literally cleansed by tsuru's fruit

muted ember
#

There's a lot of ppl in the world who were alive during that time who might talk about it even tho it's taboo

#

Is he using the destroying from the inside out armament?

Wow

agile tangle

Or both?

I don't think that Oda will rob the Straw Hats of finding One Piece themselves. They will be the ones to find the treasure.

Does anyone know what chapter does Law switch Strawhat's hearts or takes out Cesars heart?

I watched a Tekking Video the other day and he suggested the possibility that if Luffy found out what happened with Sabo, he wouldn't want to take that risk

fathom matrix
#

Cause he pointed out that Luffy must have regretted that decision not to check up on Ace, or go after him when his vivre card was burning up, probably thinking about it every day.

Like he wouldnt want to go after saving sabo ?
Or
Wouldnt want to go after one piece in order to save sabo?
Or what?
