[wet heron]

too long, 10 days

more appropriate imo

[cunning narwhal]

alright bro its locked in

[native seal]

yall still discussing 😭

[sage temple]

Lol

[alpine trench]

People discussing in a platform meant for discussing

🤯

[sage temple]

Holy lurk dolfius

[alpine trench]

Revolutionary

[trim lily]

i do be popping in

[sage temple]

So nonch

[native seal]

the nonch propaganda is fading away

[hazy turret]

That your new nickname?

[native seal]

rokaya youre still in halloween

[hazy turret]

So?

[sage temple]

I like that SPOOKaya

[wet heron]

@hazy turret we got a mute in place for me 3 days if Loki's df is destruction df, and for 10 days for Abdi if it's solar / energy df. U gotta check on this when we ping to mute. If it's neither of the 3 then there is no mute for anyone.

[native seal]

hohokaya

[near scroll]

is a cartoon fruit

[wet heron]

tbf spooky season is over

[near scroll]

also if its neither of the 3 mute BOTH

[hazy turret]

What in the world is this bet

Why do you guys have different punishment times

[wet heron]

that's what Nika df is

[cunning narwhal]

we're betting on what fruit loki has lol

[wet heron]

cause I am more active

abdi barely has 5k messages

[cunning narwhal]

to make it even since im not that active here anyway

[wet heron]

I am being super fair

he was okay with a month

[hazy turret]

Alright ig

[wet heron]

https://tenor.com/view/silent-silence-shh-quiet-loki-gif-5018528

[hazy turret]

Lowkey though, you guys are kinda wusses for backing out from the mute if it’s none of the three

[cunning narwhal]

id be fine with that

[hazy turret]

Both should be muted because both were wrong IMO!

[wet heron]

that's only in the spirit of the game

we can't have two losers

[hazy turret]

The Game?!?!

[sage temple]

One Piece fans building up the courage to bet their firstborn child on something absolutely zero hints have been given of

[cunning narwhal]

we gotta stand on our convictions tbh

[hazy turret]

We all just lose the game…

[cunning narwhal]

if we wrong we wrong

[wet heron]

one must be a winner for a bet to work, we will make a new one if none of the 3 are right anyways

[near scroll]

no basically a fruit which only has toon force yk which is why hes a false nika

[wet heron]

this mufugga

[hazy turret]

Anyways you both would have lost in that scenario

[wet heron]

he's on a life irl tangent

[grand flower]

HIIII

[hazy turret]

Oh my godd bruhh

[grand flower]

I start my new job Monday

[near scroll]

mute both of them for double the time if theyre both wrong

[sage temple]

Yall should make something less specific

[wet heron]

so without the power element ?

[near scroll]

ye

[wet heron]

like strength etc

[sage temple]

Like if Loki's df changes his hair color or not

[hazy turret]

That’s what I’m saying

[cunning narwhal]

you of all people should be on the god of destruction train

[trim lily]

hey that makes bets fun

[wet heron]

ooooo that almost makes it a illusion df no

[trim lily]

oh oop

[hazy turret]

Send me 60 bucks real quick

[sage temple]

I have a few theories cooking

[grand flower]

Just farted

[hazy turret]

Man I’m out

[formal wagon]

that used to happen to me with a lot of users. i used to get marin and sanjuan mixed up actually

[wet heron]

3 days 10 days is a lot

[formal wagon]

tmi man... not cool

[wet heron]

😭

[trim lily]

3 days isnt that bad

[wet heron]

imagine those 3 days are when some peak shit is going on

[trim lily]

meek moment

[wet heron]

and u just left out of it

[honest garden]

Who thinks its a destruction devil fruit?

[formal wagon]

hasn't happened in months

new user

[trim lily]

hi!

[hazy turret]

Hathor does

[honest garden]

That's a stupid, terrible idea

[cunning narwhal]

no he thinks its an energy fruit

i think its nika god of destruction

[formal wagon]

they're giving anyone mod these days good golly

[sage temple]

This plus God of Destruction/Lunarian fruit

[hazy turret]

That’s not what this says

Oh

Guys

I’m a little slow

[wet heron]

word last peak shit was the voting and the day that never existed

[hazy turret]

Nvm it’s not Hathor, it’s Abdi

[wet heron]

I am saying it's the solar / energy df.

[wet heron]

yeah

[honest garden]

Nonetheless, I hate the idea

'solar' is better

[wet heron]

^V

[cunning narwhal]

you're going to hate quarter 2 of 2026 bro

[wet heron]

thanks Mushy

I knew you would realize the applications of this idea

[hazy turret]

Oh I thought you were gonna do the funny “that’s a brilliant, wonderful idea” bit

[trim lily]

seeing loki photosynthesize would be fun

[sage temple]

Lol

[honest garden]

Still, gomu stomps EVERYTHING

[trim lily]

does it stomp hamster zoan

[hazy turret]

Anyways you’re all wrong and the fruit is 1000% gomu

[wet heron]

I never said photosynthesis df

[grand flower]

Prude

[hazy turret]

TRUUUUUE

[sage temple]

https://tenor.com/view/sunflower-flower-sun-plants-vs-gif-257667609531660856

[grand flower]

Shit my bad

[honest garden]

No

[sage temple]

Imagine this but Loki

[trim lily]

solar -> photosynthesis

shrimple as

[wet heron]

nah bruh

[sage temple]

Shrimple

[wet heron]

like solar as in actual sun's energy

[grand flower]

What

[wet heron]

just did not want to bunch it up along with energy df ideas since it's specific

[sage temple]

The plant vs zombies sunflower

[trim lily]

i imagine taking in the sun's energy would help the user

[sage temple]

Because photosynthesis

I hope Loki's tattoos have something to do with his DF

It'd be a shame if it's just Kata v2

[grand flower]

What do we talking about man

[trim lily]

oh yeah katakuri had tattoos

this man loved skulls

[sage temple]

Loki gets his belts from that same brand

[grand flower]

Loki, Kaido and Katakuri all taking fashion inspiration from Rocks

[wet heron]

looks like some bird wings

[honest garden]

Fusion would be an okay idea because it ties into Vegapunk/mother flame stuff

[trim lily]

i dont know how oda would balance a nuclear fusion paramecia

[wet heron]

whiryu

[honest garden]

Fusion is the sort of power where it's as powerful as it needs to be in any given circumstance

[trim lily]

yeah i guess it is just basic energy

oda would probably want to put some kind of twist on it

[wet heron]

also why are u green were u hacked or something

[fallen meteor]

all a homage to their hero - brook

[cunning narwhal]

do you guys have any links to the energy df theory? like was there a youtube video made about it or something?

cause to me it seems kinda random

[sage temple]

peak

[trim lily]

i think hathor just came up with it

probably something to do with the whole god of destruction thing

[cunning narwhal]

i remember seeing it pinned on worstgen's twitter but i never actually read it

[fallen meteor]

hathor has been saying energy df thing for a while

[wet heron]

yeah

[native seal]

whats the deal with gunko

[fallen meteor]

months i think

[native seal]

she old as shit

[trim lily]

chosen by imu at a young age and groomed to be some kinda attendant/nun

[wet heron]

it is random, I was just thinking about how ragnir would have stored up energy which gets converted to lightning on striking hard with something, plus what would make him think he was Nika.

[sage temple]

Never forgiving Gunko for her crimes against Loki

Atrocities if you will

[woven talon]

I’ll pass the feedback on

[cunning narwhal]

ok him having that df would make ragnir make sense

[native seal]

Vincent chansard. He animated this sequence so well that people started saying that it was over animated

vxTwitter / fixvx · Nov 6, 2025, 6:35 PM

bro i loved this sequence

[wet heron]

eh it wasn't much ngl bro was evading every attack but still it's an attack on someone chained up and helpless

[trim lily]

out of all the stuff to be called over animated im fine with this instance

it makes it more fun

[native seal]

facts

[sage temple]

Idk if he evaded everything but he anticipated everything correctly

I'm more mad that she killed the pets

Unforgivable sin

[fallen meteor]

but we know thats not og gunko right

[native seal]

hachinosu was a movie man

[sage temple]

Better hope not

[native seal]

the OST near the end too

[trim lily]

its hard to say whats up with gunko

[wet heron]

word, that wolfy was so cute. Reminds me of my neighbors old dog.

[fallen meteor]

we see how when she meets brook she breaks and imu has to take the reins

[trim lily]

she was definitely close with brook yeah

[wet heron]

like whoever she was before the brainwashing

[fallen meteor]

yeah

[wet heron]

hard to tell ever since the manmayer reveal

it could have been Brook inspired a few moments of humanity in her etc

[fallen meteor]

that part is kinda eh because it could just be some sort of adoption

[sage temple]

He reminded me of like a combination of these two, moreso the one on the right

[trim lily]

i dont know if she was really 'brainwashed' in the traditional sense, more like had memories of her childhood locked away

then raised as a CD

[sage temple]

I feel like he's in a better place now tho

[wet heron]

adoption would absolve her ngl

[sage temple]

Yeah that makes more sense

[wet heron]

kinda interesting watching sharlia's reaction to VC being said by VP btw

[fallen meteor]

i'm thinking this, just raised on a scenario where yeah she's just over "the rest of the world"

she believes it

[wet heron]

so it's not like CDs (new ones) are even completely aware of what their past is

[trim lily]

yeah the CDs dont really learn the history either

theyre taught stuff like horror stories to fear from the past at most

the D get treated as boogeymen

[sage temple]

Lol imagine Killingham using that power on the CDs

[fallen meteor]

i think brook can mess with that tho and bring out some of her really old past so she breaks free

[grand flower]

What do CDs even dream about

[trim lily]

i hope she isnt just good once she reunites with brook

she should still have to reckon with her current life/stuff she was taught

[fallen meteor]

my headcanon is that she's still mildly racist and pro slavery at times but then she corrects herself

[golden surge]

Whitebread had one clash and decided to dip

[trim lily]

lobter

[fallen meteor]

shes like 'you are a filthy fishm-sorry old habits jinbe my bad'

[sage temple]

Yeah prolly, this is what made her remember

[trim lily]

"dont worry im used to it by now"

[fallen meteor]

lol

[sage temple]

Mountains of slaves all to them

[trim lily]

just noticed this again now but this looks like her god valley appearance

[native seal]

that SBS answer about vegapunk and being a CD was so deep i havent put enough skill points into my intellect to decipher it properly yet

[trim lily]

i cant wait to learn whats up with gunko

[fallen meteor]

still think this is like an older sister maybe

or her mother

[trim lily]

yeah could be her mother or sister

[sage temple]

Same

[trim lily]

she still looks pretty regal/militaristic though

[sage temple]

There's a buncha flashbacks this arc

[fallen meteor]

this nose kinda pointy

[trim lily]

we havent seen gunko's nose so we cant really say if its her

[sage temple]

Darn the ussop nose theory isn't true

[fallen meteor]

the usopp arc plot twist

[trim lily]

real

[fallen meteor]

she would be uhhh banchina's aunt or something

[trim lily]

oh actually what if this is just before she gets the immortality thing

[fallen meteor]

[trim lily]

and has to start wearing a mask

[wet heron]

why does this remind me of a movie poster with a big ass white tattoed wolf

[fallen meteor]

the immortality is stored on the mask?

[trim lily]

the mask thing is unrelated to the immortality lol

but its pre mask gunko

[wet heron]

from 1165 I loved this interaction

[sage temple]

Bandages of ambrosia

[sage temple]

Same nigga dissing Rocks for doing the same thing to Loki

[fallen meteor]

its kinda fun that oda did the 'kid appears to be older' thing with bonney and now we might get 'old lady appears to be younger' an arc later

[sage temple]

I'm onto you WB

[trim lily]

next we'll get middle aged person that looks middle aged

[fallen meteor]

[sage temple]

Lol I remember the Gunko being 16 theories

[trim lily]

who knows maybe she was frozen at 16

i wouldnt put it past oda at this point

[fallen meteor]

born purely out of fear of what oda already has done

[sage temple]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-pray-praying-speed-ishowspeed-praying-gif-13671958547048242627

[wet heron]

WB would cook younguns too I am sure of it, but they all know how much the opponent can tank.

[fallen meteor]

he would do some shit like that 100%

[sage temple]

Dude just loves that number

[wet heron]

holy Dragon

[trim lily]

i assume dragon quits immediately after this

[sage temple]

Yeah Rocks just decided to do the upper half of whatever that is

[wet heron]

Imu's dumbass with the Island never existed bs 😭 isn't this getting repetitive and pathetic or what

[fallen meteor]

it makes sense

[sage temple]

He might get hunted for what he saw

[wet heron]

more or less, plus Rocks is a brute.

[trim lily]

i think you could do something interesting with him getting arrested and garp getting him off the hook (and having to talk to him)

[sage temple]

True but ngl I'm glad he kept Loki on Elbaph

Imagine 8 year old Loki on God Valley

[fallen meteor]

we might get another Garp redeemed moment with the WG saying they are hunting Dragon's ass if Garp doesnt stay or something like that

[latent hamlet]

CDs: AN EXCELLENT SLAVE, GARLING TAKE HIM

[somber flare]

They didn’t even destroy it like they did with Lulusia he just be saying shit

[sage temple]

Would've genuinely been over for bro

[wet heron]

yeah 100% like we do NOT want Loki as a kid who just came out of darkness to witness the human hunt and whatever happened there

bruh it fucked BB up bad

[sage temple]

Loki would've become the antichrist

[latent hamlet]

Loki could have made it to top 5

Top 5 prizes on CD Games

[sage temple]

Top 5 slaves maybe

[wet heron]

also damn, Oda cooked by atleast letting us know Garp and Roger were aware of Rocks being unwilling to fight them.

[wet heron]

o mein gott

[fallen meteor]

sure, but why

is it a reference

[latent hamlet]

What sanji could have done

[fast pagoda]

Idk I just found it

[fast pagoda]

Ngl I dont like Garp having VOAT

[severe pewter]

narratively, it makes sense since Luffy has VOAT as well.

[sage temple]

Why not

[fast pagoda]

Love Garp but I dont think that fits his vibe

[fallen meteor]

i think its ok, another point of equality between garp and roger

[sage temple]

tru

[fallen meteor]

just to hammer how matched they were at least on GV

[latent hamlet]

So you're saying voat doesnt belong to...filthy government dogs?

[fast pagoda]

Garp just wants to protect the Marines and serve justice, he doesn't have any major worldchanging goals

[latent hamlet]

Bruh its one piece

Serving justice might as well be world changing

[wet heron]

I think I have found what the key is, like listening to VOAT is super elite alright, but giving out VOAT is next level, how many chars have communicated a message via VOAT vs those that have recieved it, the later is a one way channel.

[latent hamlet]

[grand flower]

This SBS is pretty good proof that Oda's been planning G5 and Nika for a long time

[sage temple]

I wonder if Garp intereacted with Dragon

[grand flower]

@ashen perch @stone tulip @digital spear

[wet heron]

so Garp having it is cool, but nothing to scoff over imo, since Oden, Roger, Luffy, Momo etc have it too.

[fast pagoda]

I love Garp and him on GV but him having it just doesn't feel like him

[wet heron]

esp Luffy having it just makes it feel like Garp naturally had it.

[fast pagoda]

Kozukis, Joyboy crew, Rocks Roger and Luffy all make sense having it

But Garp isnt really like an important figure to the void century and the ancient history like the others are

[wet heron]

we are not used to these levels of Garp gass, despite liking him as the marine vice admiral he has been throughout, but FB proves he was in the same tier as Rocks, Roger etc

[fast pagoda]

He's just a strong guy believes in justice, protecting the innocent and who does what he wants

[severe pewter]

Dawg. Garp was the patriach of the legendary Monkey family who most likely was affiliated with Joyboy's crew in the Void Century. Emet and Zunesha could only talk via VOAT. It would also makes sense that those close to Joyboy would be able to understand and communicate via VOAT. My two cents at least.

[wet heron]

D nontheless

like D's always will stir up a storm even baby CDs know as much.

saul D jaguar was not central either, but ends up saving the last Oharan etc

they just fill these crevices of critical roles somehow imo

[fast pagoda]

Actually who else do yall think will have VOAT?

[sage temple]

Loki

[wet heron]

Loki

[fast pagoda]

Vivi and Blackbeard feel like locks

[formal wagon]

is this real

[wet heron]

hmmm whoever burnscar man is possibly, whoever eye patch man is possibly ..

that's everyone for now

[sage temple]

I feel like this alone gives Loki Voat 😭

I still wanna know what this was

[wet heron]

Vivi, BB, Loki, burnscar, eye patch man.

[formal wagon]

goosebumps?

[severe pewter]

Jaguar, Monkey, Davy, Portgas, Clou, Gol, Nefertari, Trafalgar - All of these Will of D carrier lines most likely have the ability to communicate via VOAT. I would say the Kozuki clan is like a Faux Will of D clan, but they still are affiliated with Joyboy.

[sage temple]

Yeah I'm js joking I have no idea what it is

Or means

[trim lily]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/697995591921172532.gif?@everyone

[formal wagon]

maybe loki is scary like a goosebumps novel

[ionic palm]

for the funni, I actually hope Loki does join Luffy and friends by the end of Elbaph, if Blackbeard could get a monster of a crewmate aka an ex-Admiral, why not a giant that terrorized an entire country and could maybe nearly rival that of an emperor at some extent at full power for Luffy :p

[formal wagon]

good theory socrates

[formal wagon]

Tingling...

rhymes with jingling....

[ruby moat]

Yea there are those who are the actual D clan, and then there are those who are descendants of groups that sided with Joyboy in the ancient war (kozukis, skypieans)

[formal wagon]

jingle bells...

egghead...

[sage temple]

Dingling

[trim lily]

which rhymes with chingling...

[fallen meteor]

eggnog is drank on december

[fast pagoda]

I think Kozuki are just D clan members

[formal wagon]

i play a fan game that makes chingling not ass and its so cool that he's not ass

[trim lily]

its possible

[wet heron]

Roger is based.

[formal wagon]

i love fangames that make pokemon not ass, but they change how i view them

[fast pagoda]

Then again Oda would have probably revealed it during Wano, but he may still have a reason for hiding it

[formal wagon]

now i think of chingling as psychic sound type

[cosmic hamlet]

Did you'all saw my robin edit?

[wet heron]

not yet namipoops show

[trim lily]

was this too many types

[formal wagon]

no i did not

[ionic palm]

wonder if Vivi will officially adopt "D." as part of her name like Lili did :p

[trim lily]

probably yeah

[wet heron]

[trim lily]

its her legacy now

[formal wagon]

this fangame gives up to 3 types

[fallen meteor]

she is now Vivid

[formal wagon]

its pokemon auto ches

[trim lily]

ah

[formal wagon]

chess

[fallen meteor]

name?

[formal wagon]

theres also tectonic which gives pokemon tribes which are fun

[cosmic hamlet]

Here you go

[formal wagon]

and theres a harmonic tribe which is like the sound type

[cosmic hamlet]

I think you saw it

[fast pagoda]

Too many types is like a meme game

[formal wagon]

peak thank you for sharing

[formal wagon]

pokemon auto chess

[trim lily]

partially yeah

but it is pretty competent

[fallen meteor]

oh i tried playing it but it was like
pvp

[wet heron]

yeah I for once thought it was something new, ngl I have seen this old edit multiple times.

[fallen meteor]

i wanted a pokemon game where the battles are just autochess

[formal wagon]

yeah it is. i was addicted to it like a 6 months ago

[wet heron]

make something new cyg, lots of interesting panels now

[trim lily]

isnt autochess usually pvp

[cosmic hamlet]

I want to spread it to everyone

[formal wagon]

oh i think theres a solo mode now actually

[trim lily]

ah

[fallen meteor]

yes and i hate it

[trim lily]

an actual game you mean

[wet heron]

lmao

[fallen meteor]

i want like a pve autochess

[formal wagon]

yeah they have a pve mode now but i haven't tried it out

[wet heron]

I like the energy, keep sharing it more.

[fallen meteor]

i will check it out tomorrow

[formal wagon]

i think you click on the pokedex to get to it

[vestal mural]

That spread almost didn’t feel op like lol

In a good way

[pine urchin]

Least busy spread in a while

[vestal mural]

That’s def part of it actually

[unique lagoon]

you mean theres no body parts crossing over panels?

[vestal mural]

But the sequencing and paneling are just

[vestal mural]

What lol

Also hi butter

[formal wagon]

what if it was called twin geeks and it was just big bang theory but with twins

[celest mauve]

last time we got a spread like this was during luffy vs kaido

over 100 chapters ago

[vestal mural]

Which one

[formal wagon]

what if it was called twin greeks and it was about greek guys

[ruby moat]

Does that mean there would be two young Sheldon’s as well

[formal wagon]

okay twin greek young sheldons take it or leave it

[grand flower]

The roc gatling vs kundali swarm I’m guessing

[ruby moat]

TAKING IT

[unique lagoon]

eyyy sup
hold up let me find the gghead spread

[vestal mural]

Ahhh. I like this new one more tbh

[formal wagon]

young stephanos (plural)

[unique lagoon]

welp dont remember chapter #
its the one where shakas head was crossing over other panels

[vestal mural]

lol I don’t remember that

[pine urchin]

A lot of one piece spreads lately are just soooooo packed and trying to work through so many people talking

Let’s kill a couple crew members and clean this up… bumsopp?

[vestal mural]

I’ve gotten used to the business of it lately but yea I’d like to see cleaner spreads again

[unique lagoon]

its basically this

body part covering another panel

[vestal mural]

Ahhh

It’s cool tho

[unique lagoon]

oh it is im just pointing that out

[vestal mural]

I thought you meant oda somehow fucked up lol

[unique lagoon]

nah hes good

my only nitpick with that mf is his consistency with stuff

[vestal mural]

Man you know what’s a great spread? Luffy standing before the admirals in marineford

Marineford had such good spreads and clean art

[vestal mural]

Like what

[pine urchin]

I miss the precise lines and the sense of space that even the characters had in their design

[vestal mural]

I appreciate all eras of OP styles

Things changed so much over the years

[unique lagoon]

the usual sizes
or properly visualizing haki

[vestal mural]

Ah

[unique lagoon]

if you noticed theres always a debate about what haki is being used

[rose rune]

it would have to wait at least, this is my weekend at work

[unique lagoon]

a bit of clarity wont hurt

[grand flower]

Take your tiiiime

[vestal mural]

True but so much of it is just people being dumb tbf

[unique lagoon]

agenda slop

[vestal mural]

[unique lagoon]

like this chapter for is a good example

they where using armament and coc

but no ACOA yet

so roger and garp manage to kill rocks without Acoa just Acoc

[vestal mural]

Wait how’s acoa relevant here

[unique lagoon]

whent he sword clashed

theres no invisible aura around em

[celest mauve]

so where was she when shakky needed saving?

[vestal mural]

Ahhh

[vestal mural]

Getting that money

[unique lagoon]

so ACOA aint all that

[vestal mural]

Won’t be surprised if oda forgot he made that a thing lol

Now that we have acoc

[unique lagoon]

also establishing that DF/powers + haki > all
well obv

luffy will need to beat imus haki

even his punches vs saturn dint really hurt hurt him

[vestal mural]

Yea I’m still waiting for an explanation for how that works

wtf does Imu have

[unique lagoon]

im standing by what my boi jinbe said

[vestal mural]

Fair enough

It’s just the fuck you I win fruit rn

[ruby moat]

rocks looks so insane in this panel his face almost looks like a completely different art style

[soft tangle]

If only god valley was drawn during PEAK Oda form

[formal wagon]

skypiea valley

[stray prism]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-season-2-squirrel-jokes-awkward-gif-13434422093001060182

I'll pick gaban next chapter

[formal wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/good-answer-family-feud-canada-nice-answer-very-good-answer-cbc-gif-19929508

this chapter is tricky for that game

er next chapter i mean

[stray prism]

ye

[vestal mural]

What’s the game lol

[formal wagon]

loki is probably the safest bet though i'm sure yall have already used him

[vestal mural]

Also why was cunk disqualified

[formal wagon]

people that didn't answer in time got dq'd

[stray prism]

game we started weeks ago where we pick a character who we think will appear next chapter and it cant be repeated

[vestal mural]

Ahhh

Sounds fun

[formal wagon]

its been months hasn't it?

[stray prism]

it probably has with the breaks

[formal wagon]

yall have been doing this since my school semester started i think

or before i mean

[vestal mural]

[thin dirge]

How many episodes till we end egg head in anime?

Rough estimate

[unique lagoon]

oh i dint know the anime took a break without finishing the arc

[ruby moat]

the real monster trio is luffy usopp chopper

[wet heron]

sadge

[unique lagoon]

i dont even remember the last Egghead ep i watched

i think kuma dropping in

[wet heron]

I was waiting for 1149

1148 was the last one right

[unique lagoon]

[vestal mural]

Anime is on break now?

[wet heron]

I just watched recently too Butter

[unique lagoon]

6months yeah since the 5th

[wet heron]

had not followed the anime for months

[vestal mural]

Damn wtf

[placid rover]

How is Kaido so grotesque while Yamato is so pretty when she's a direct child of Kaido
Where did the Kaido genes go except the oni horns
Now I need to see Yamato mom

[vestal mural]

I thought they were just gonna do the 3 month break after egg head is done

[unique lagoon]

wait maybe not 6months

is it 6?

[wet heron]

watched the ep from when VP takes them to the lab back to back till 1148

so wait there is no break only on oct 5th episode ?

[vestal mural]

What are you on. Kaido is handsome af

[unique lagoon]

did they say why? is it for better production?

[barren token]

First of all, very rude calling Kaido grotesque

[scenic kernel]

wdym Oct 5

it's November

[wet heron]

Kaido is ugly ash

[barren token]

Second of all, Kaido is a one piece male and yamato is a one piece female

[wet heron]

Yamato's mom must be very pretty ngl.

[vestal mural]

Look at all this kaido slander

[scenic kernel]

Kaido is glorious

it was peak

[vestal mural]

@rapid ridge I need your input on how handsome kaido is

Man wtf. This doesnt feel like op

Whoever directed that is goated tho

[scenic kernel]

there entire episode was directed by Vincent chansard and animated by his staff

[unique lagoon]

gorosei theme music sounds great

[vestal mural]

It really does

Man this brings out the director in me

I used to have aspirations of that

[scenic kernel]

[vestal mural]

I hope one day I can write and direct an animated story/film

[scenic kernel]

u should watch Zoro vs lucci as well (it's in the same episode), they made like a 4 minute seq out of 2 panels or so but it looked so good

[vestal mural]

They’re still fighting???

[scenic kernel]

it was that chapter where the fight endet

[unique lagoon]

the big upgrade imo is the camera angles

[vestal mural]

Yup

Also everything is easier to follow now

It’s all very coherent and the transitions and cuts are smooth

I hated the shaky cane stuff we got in wano

[scenic kernel]

I wish we'd get more episodes directed by him

Pirates of the Caribbean used that trick too

One of the most iconic shots using that technique

Is this fanart?

[vestal mural]

Nah it’s from the episode

The clip butter linked

[rose rune]

Toei is fanart

You heard it here first folks

[grand flower]

@wet heron @ashen perch @stone tulip @hot cairn I figured it out

Iva and Ginny are still on the island

That means Kuma isn’t gone. I think circumstances will lead to rocks hearing him say he saved a woman and baby from “that monster”(Rocks), and the joy/relief will break Rocks out of Domi Reversi

Maybe he dies to wounds becausw of that but he dies happy knowing he didn’t kill his own wife and child after all

[compact fjord]

Why was that one dude in Fishman Island named Hody Jones

Sounds kinda similar to Davy Jones

[trim lily]

it was probably a reference to davy jones back then but i doubt he’ll actually be related in universe

[grand flower]

Looks like Blackbeard as a child too

[compact fjord]

Yeah, I was thinking the same, he's got those three lines on his eyes

Most fishman have them

However, even franky has those three lines around his eyes

[scenic kernel]

didn't they break him out of Domi reversi

in like the last 2 panels of the chapter

after their combined attack in the upper left corner the black shadow like thing is leaving his buddy

[rose rune]

Are we eyelash counting?

[grand flower]

Oh those are eyelashes

[grand flower]

Idk. I don’t think it’s over tbh

[grand flower]

I do lowkey put some stock in that cause usopp ans Blackbeard look a lot alike too

[compact fjord]

It's a pretty unique detail that few characters have

[grand flower]

Cmon man you know I’m bouta start believing tjis

Kozuki Moriah dawg

[rose rune]

how old is moria again during GV?

[grand flower]

12

I think we saw him

[rose rune]

This?

[grand flower]

Yuppers!!

[manic quarry]

Guys i just had like a shower thought....zunesha should be absolutely massive huge to be carrying a freaking country on its back plus the size of legs to stand on bottom etc..

A creature of that size should be creating a massive tsunami each step no?

[wet heron]

Rocks saw them get popped but he probably does not know what happened, since he is unaware of paw paw no mi powers, Rocks maybe asks Kuma about it if Kuma passes by, but this too hyperbole, what are the chances Kuma is passing by casually near a demonic or half dead Rocks. Secondly it can't be VOAT I doubt he will be able to use it to get through to Kuma specifically. Under Domi Reversi I doubt anyone can fully know what is happening and see and feel and hear all the time, I imagine it must be more like vague glimpses and feeling of what is going on at times.

[grand flower]

Iva and Ginny cross paths with the carnage with Rocks

[ashen perch]

Yea, and he says a long time here but he later even clarified that he has wanted to draw Wano since chapter 1

[grand flower]

Fuck YEAH

Check your recent tag btw

NEOW

[ashen perch]

I was thinking that he'll die to his wounds when Domi Reversi is lifted too but this works a lot better than it just being lifted because he lost. I like it

We're going to get a full death for him, one that only Roger and Garp were witnesses for him

Also Shuron btw you know that Jay D clip you posted here? I just saw the dumbest guy post it on Twitter like he's making a good point 😭

Media literacy is a crisis on there

It’s catchy af

Reminds me of some of the SNL skit songs and lost media / forgotten archives

[potent pier]

If Triller Bark is God valley, this makes him choosing it as a base so ironic

That theory seems possible rn since WB broke one half

Singlehandedly responsible for destroying Sengoku's reputation outside of his own actions

[potent pier]

We know Oda never showed them getting off. Currently it's assumed they dipped out by then

[wet heron]

I can still understand a few words they ought to make it 4x faster

[potent pier]

The other half got broken also

[ashen perch]

Tbf who'd wanna hear him on regular speed

The concept of listening to him period actually is crazy but y'know

Is it Jay D? I didn't click the video

[wet heron]

Yeah he seems always present with a complain

Mf always complaining abt shit

[ashen perch]

Well not true

[wet heron]

Faxx sometimes people just wanna enjoy things

[ashen perch]

You never know

[potent pier]

I don't mind

[ashen perch]

Delays can still happen, anime production is tough

[grand flower]

I like how it’s sped tf up for the third-grade level readers that’s gonna think this is heat

[cold steppe]

He's probably one of the people who got hypnotized during kaido's introduction and thought that he was the villain of all time

That intro when he jumped

[ornate tartan]

I don’t mind either I don’t watch them

[grand flower]

I thought Kaido was and then he was

[ornate tartan]

but since it’s seasonal there’s probably gonna be a episode every week for it’s season

13 each

[potent pier]

So we can assume Kaidou flew off the island

[wet heron]

Oh in the aftermath it gets completely destroyed eh, I just thought that was a bad angle or clouds sheathing that segment, but coming back to GV being TB how tf would it be mobilised into a ship.

The only ones capable of that are the galley la giants btw

[potent pier]

We don't know yet

[grand flower]

Yeah, I feel like we didn’t see them get sent away csuse they’re still here

[wet heron]

But what significance does GV hold for the WG to do that transformation and how does it end up with Moria.

[ashen perch]

I like the idea of it being the island that Shanks met Mihawk in more personally

[potent pier]

And Moria has the fruit that can reanimate them...

Assuming that those were the giants that we saw frozen in Punk Hazard

[wet heron]

They met in mariejois imo

[ornate tartan]

what??😂😂

[ashen perch]

Nah I mean in present day, during Loguetown

[wet heron]

wait a sec

[ashen perch]

I guess Oda could end up doing both but I like the natural progression of Shanks being on a remnant of God Valley, then presenting WB with a wine from his hometown

Like that clicks in super well, and I think Oda had GV in mind back then

[wet heron]

Moria does not reanimate the mfs he implants shadow from someone else, but yeah they later on pick up skillsets of the original body too, it’s retained

I was hoping they were not dead, rather petrified

[feral monolith]

loki flashback

[wet heron]

But being dead and WG / Moria using them this way makes sense

[potent pier]

Assuming they were petrified

Still a good question, why did the gorosei or Imu put a hit out on Moria?

[ashen perch]

"a certain island" "camping on this island? how reckless." it indicates that Oda was thinking of making it a super important island, and it would be nice if it ended up being a remnant of GV now

[wet heron]

It does look like a remaining GV

but like we saw in the panel it was levelled

[potent pier]

Also how old is the facility on punk hazard exactly?

[ashen perch]

there are still smaller hills on there, this could be one of them

[wet heron]

I was thinking goroseior sounds like a damn good pokemon name, idk maybe they did not put a hit he becomes a renown pirate they ally with him and he becomes a shichibukai right

[ashen perch]

another thing it could be is this part of GV that Xebec split up from the island

[wet heron]

It is indeed interesting that Mihawk goes camping on this Island how careless as if no one is supposed to be there or something or it’s closely watched

[potent pier]

I'm talking about why Donflamingo was ordered to kill Moria

[ornate tartan]

this is the state of god valley at the end of last chapter^

[trim lily]

cause he failed too many times and served no further purpose

[potent pier]

Form my screenshot?

[trim lily]

they had no need for a weak warlord

[potent pier]

Assuming g he can reanimate the Galy la giants and control them, why kill him?

[ashen perch]

yeah that is what it came down to, they had just deemed him to be a failure that needed to be gone

[trim lily]

why would they know or care about that

[wet heron]

He knows too much

The higher ups decided he needs to go

[potent pier]

Another reason is that he can read the poneglyphs

[wet heron]

Not marines

Higher ups aka CDs

[potent pier]

Would make cross guild a legit contender to the one piece after that

[ashen perch]

another line that was never explained, could be that he is upset because this once used to be part of GV, his hometown

just saying, I like this idea more than the TB one

Oda can kinda do both if he feels like it, but this has more solid proof I feel

[trim lily]

it being god valley would be fun but shanks wouldn’t remember anything from his experience there

i can’t imagine why it’d trigger bad memories

[ashen perch]

well yea, but he can still be upset

[wet heron]

He had bad food last night hence the bad mood

[potent pier]

There's a mountain on this island. Unlikely

[ashen perch]

it was his hometown, it was destroyed

it was where his mother died, etc

[ornate tartan]

he got sake from there and brought it to Newgate

[ashen perch]

yea thats what I am thinking

[trim lily]

i’m still not on board with the idea of the sake being from god valley lol

i think the roger pirates just left him with i guess shakky on a west blue island and came back for him later

[wet heron]

He does say it’s from his hometown

[trim lily]

and that became his hometown

when i think of someone’s home town i think of it being the place where they were raised, not just where they were born

[ashen perch]

I have an explanation for that too, what if this part of the island drifted away when it was cut off

the part that Xebec cut is the part that Shanks camped on, it works

[wet heron]

bb looks so much like his father.

[ashen perch]

eh, I do think he was raised on Roger's ship

[trim lily]

i really just can’t see the roger pirates raising a kid

and we know shakky goes somewhere, so i think it works out

[ashen perch]

Ray and Roger talked about the experience of having babies on the ship before, when they were holding Hiyori

now maybe it was just about holding a baby that reminded them of holding babies before, but Hiyori was raised on there till Toki left when she got sick

[wet heron]

When u piece everything together and have a cohesive theory ping me too Arsal

cause it might be GV after all

[ashen perch]

oh its not my theory, somebody's already posted it somewhere

I just like the idea

[trim lily]

there’s also the question of how does shanks become close with/meet buggy

surely the roger pirates didn’t just pick up a random 12 year old they found

[ashen perch]

not gonna take credit of this one, somebody came up with it before

I just like the idea, and the pieces fall in place nicely

[wet heron]

Right well whoever it is

This should be expanded

Cause even with TB and PH there are def connections

[ashen perch]

yeah I will see if I get the time

[trim lily]

oh wait buggy was born in the grand line

[ornate tartan]

buggy is the only yonko we don’t know exactly where he came from

everyone assumed god valley

[wet heron]

Why tf were a bunch of giants in perma freeze up there, how does Moria gain all the Rocks pirates corpses (he raids places we know that but besides it), how does Moria gain TB, whatever happened to GV, now this random Island Shanks was camped at etc.

[trim lily]

i’m hoping it’s nowhere special

[ornate tartan]

but 95% of the time fan theories on what’s gonna happen don’t come out to be true unless it’s painfully obvious

Oda isn’t writing a predictable story

[trim lily]

well

[ashen perch]

the main thing is that Oda is pretty consistent with the natural progression of each Shanks appearance, with each leading to the next one

Loguetown - ??
Jaya - He is said to be planning to meet WB
Enies Lobby - He meets WB, warns him of BB, etc
Marineford - He shows up and stops the war that had been building up since the beginning

[trim lily]

sometimes he does hit the beats

[ashen perch]

Oda is very intentional with each of them, because they are rare

[trim lily]

the whole cake island one didn’t really go anywhere lol

[wet heron]

Btw if a portion drifted away that portion is more likely to have been made into TB and the other half becomes what remains of GV where Shanks camped

[trim lily]

he said he was going to meet luffy soon then went to wano and decided not to

[wet heron]

A piece of land drifting is what TB basically is. Moria would just have to encase it ez pz and build a ship around it.

[ashen perch]

eh it kinda did, he just decided against meeting him for some reason

maybe the g5 aspect

changed things

[trim lily]

though he didn’t even go to wano cause of luffy right

he expected BB to show up

[ashen perch]

yeah, he wanted to intercept BB because he thought he'd show up to attack a weakened Luffy

but he didnt

instead he decided to wait up on Winner Island

[ashen perch]

but yea, I think where the Loguetown appearance fits in is by it being the source of the wine he gave to WB

well, the main purpose is to show Shanks react to him being a wanted pirate

But all the things that are mentioned there: Shanks being in a mad mood, it being reckless to camp out there on that certain island, it never went anywhere

[glass plume]

Arsal why do you think that Shanks is the child of destiny?

[ashen perch]

I think he might be the descendant of Joyboy

the similarities between him and the silhouettes of Joyboy, the fact that Oda kept his mother a total mystery and that he is meant to contrast with BB as a character, who is the descendant of Davy

its a strong theory

[glass plume]

yeah that would be very cool

i feel like it could also be that he is a D and a Celestial Dragon

[ashen perch]

I think there's more to it though, who knows if he is the only one

but it would be part of the Joyboy idea too tbh, as he would be the descendant of FIgarland and Joyboy's bloodline

[wide star]

yeah i wonder if shanks thought he would go there for the poneglyph or possibly the ancient weapon or something else .. he never said why he thought Teach would go there but guess it don’t matter now since he was wrong anyway

[vale heath]

I think Oda is the child of destiny for writing this story 🙏

[trim lily]

probably just cause teach is like a vulture, he’ll pounce on any opportunity he can get

i’m hoping the direction oda goes in for the whole ‘child of destiny’ thing is roger setting up a bunch of expectations/lofty dreams for shanks when all he wanted to was to live a normal pirate life

[tough igloo]

it’d be funny if it was the ancient weapon he was worried about Teach coming for .. cause at that point Teach didn’t even know about it yet so Shanks timing was off cause now Teach knows about it due to caribou .. so basically Shanks came to & left Wano too early

[vale heath]

Pirate Warriors soon

[glass plume]

Bonney, Lucci and S-Snake

smh why couldn't they add Kuma instead of S-Snake

[vale heath]

Lucci’s my main so getting an upgrade (should be an upgrade) is worth it anyway

But it really should be Kuma

I hope they didn’t fuck it up like hybrid Kaido

Who is worse than base Kaido

[glass plume]

i don't think he's necessarily worse, he just has a different playstyle and less damage

imo he is way more fun to play than the normal one

plus being the giant he is, it's hard to be "bad" lol

[dense haven]

CHAPTER OUT

[placid rover]

Before roger started the great pirate era, at his execution, ask d. Question said he "found the one piece". The one piece existed and was common knowledge before roger, how? How do people know about the one piece if supposedly no one has been to laugh tale in 800 years?

[stuck pagoda]

Damn that’s a good question

Tbf didn’t he just ask him where he hid all his treasure

And not specifically the one piece

[vale heath]

“The one piece” is a bit of a dubism, Roger himself never said that. He left it all in that place, because in Japanese you can use vague terms like that.
Following his execution, the world (so, Morgans via the newspaper) invented the term “the one piece” to describe everything that it is Roger gained. It is thus implied it is a treasure of unimaginable value, which we then later learn includes also the true history of the world and a physical object of importance.

The world at large doesn’t know what all it is that Roger gained, only that he had a treasure.

This treasure is often interpreted literally as a pile of gold and jewels beyond your wildest dreams.

[trim lily]

yeah roger basically invented the idea of the one piece

[vale heath]

As we just found out with Shakky, that very well may be false

[hearty shore]

it's just a picture of imu in a pink short skirt

[vale heath]

I do imagine Roger left behind a pile of gold and jewels beyond your wildest dreams, in addition to what’s actually on laughtale

It’s not like he needed it

[trim lily]

that’s basically guaranteed

[ashen perch]

yeah I am sure he did also leave all the wealth he had gained

Nami is gonna love that part of One Piece

[tough kestrel]

yall im almost caught up but can you tell me - are we still in a flashback currently?

[ashen perch]

yeah we are

[tough kestrel]

wtf

ok thank you. Wanted to get back to the main story

[dense haven]

there is no wealth tho it was all a bait to get people interested

[hearty shore]

yeah ||god valley||

[lofty fern]

I kinda wish Roger had let his men keep some. Rayleigh seems to need money these days. Nobody planned for retirement? 😆

[ashen perch]

thats gonna take some more time lol

[tough kestrel]

my boy is a free spirit. He doesnt need money

[ionic palm]

we'll likely be back soon, still need to know what happened with Harald and then we're back to the present

[lofty fern]

And yet he's selling himself for money?

Planning people. Planning

[tough kestrel]

GD. Im on like 1155. So 10+ chaoters of a flashback is wild

[dense haven]

roger is a fraud

[ashen perch]

Roger didnt account for his gambling habits

[hearty shore]

https://tenor.com/view/bhibatsam-joker-dark-knight-its-not-about-money-its-about-sending-message-gif-4822874739301846030

[lofty fern]

I know what it is. Shakky controls all the money in the family and Ray only gets a tiny allowance

[tough kestrel]

riger didnt account for his illness either

[ashen perch]

I am sure Rayleigh could loot anyone to get the money he wants though, he's just having fun this way

[hearty shore]

the guy doesn't even need a boat to travel from one island to the next

[lofty fern]

Nah, he knows Shakky controls the purse in the household. So he tries to get some extra money where he can for fun things

[ashen perch]

yea, and he is in Sabaody where all the pirates going to the New World go through, he can rob any of them

[ashen perch]

lmao

I wouldnt blame her though, Ray cant be trusted with the money

[lofty fern]

You notice Gaban never looks poor

He's nicely well off

[dense haven]

yall ready for 10 more chapters of flashback?

[ornate tartan]

10 is pushing it bro😂

[hearty shore]

that's what u get when u have a giant mommy wife and giant food rations

[ornate tartan]

more like 5

[ashen perch]

6-7 max

[urban lodge]

Do we summon Avery

[tough kestrel]

im gonna slow down my reading some. Long ass flashback

[ashen perch]

I am getting the feeling that Oda is ready to move on though, so maybe less than 6-7

[lofty fern]

I mean think about it. Rayleigh looks like he's 1 step away from poverty, but Shakky never looks shabby

[dense haven]

then 3 real time chapters and 15 more of the gunkmu fb

[ornate tartan]

there’s gonna be a big jump into the future, like it went from 56 years ago to 48 to 40 in One chapter

[hearty shore]

we still need to see roger crew recover shanks + rocks' death(?) + immediate aftermath of god valley

[ashen perch]

well

[dense haven]

flashbaf

[ashen perch]

the narration at the end of the chapter kinda gave me the vibe that Oda might just straight up cutaway from here

[lofty fern]

I'm now wondering what Ace would be like growing up with Scopper rather than Garp. Having a much better provider and guardian

[ashen perch]

I hope its not true, but just saying, I wouldnt be surprised

[ornate tartan]

Oda probably isn’t gonna go into too much detail for the 24 year gap between God Valley and the Castle incident, 2 setup chapters max

maybe 3

[pseudo gulch]

I think we're gonna see Harald's reaction to Rocks' death in the next chapter, then we're probably gonna skim through the years between GV and Harald's assassination and then we'll see how he died and who killed him

[hearty shore]

tbh that would be lowk rushed

[ashen perch]

We have to see Harald get closer with the WG, close enough to meet Shanks in there, and then the meeting itself. If Oda is feeling nice, he will also cover Saul settling down there and VP visiting the place. If Oda is feeling ultra nice, we will see Roger finally visit Elbaf and Gaban meeting Ripley for the first time.

[pseudo gulch]

I say we're gonna come back to present day Elbaf right after the next break

[dense haven]

I hope this entire arc is flashback just so we don't have to see usopps cringe ass

[pseudo gulch]

I really doubt we'll see Saul settling in Elbaf

[ornate tartan]

Roger Pirates visiting Elbaf would be a nice touch

if they circumnavigated the entire globe they had to have went there

it would be nice to see it now

[pine scaffold]

Do you remember when people said it was Usopps arc?

Lol

[coarse viper]

It's been a while since we've seen Luffy

[lofty fern]

Loki and Harald should pop up again next chapter

The Roger pirates should find Shanks

[ashen perch]

its important though

[ornate tartan]

yessir im excited to see how the strawhats handle the situation in elbaph

[pine scaffold]

Lower expectations

if the Egghead finale is anything to go by

[lofty fern]

It's important but not so much we need to see it

[native seal]

im excited for koby

[dense haven]

elbaf will fail

[ashen perch]

yeah, its odd that we have never seen him visit it before, it feels like its the right time to show it

[lofty fern]

Nah, it's Dragon time. I need to see what happens next

[ashen perch]

Egghead wrapped up nicely, despite being a very unconventional ending, so I will lift up my expectations

[pine scaffold]

Egghead did not wrap up nicely, tons of people hated the broadcast.

I remember it

[lofty fern]

Does his plan here go through? Does the WG just kill all the people he tried to save? Where does Dragon go from here?

[ashen perch]

tons of people are stupid

[native seal]

i need to see the ideologies of dragon and garp clash post GV bruh, one insisting on changing the system from within and one from the outside

[ornate tartan]

yall praying for the strawhats to get lowdiffed😂

u supposed to be rooting for em💀

[hearty shore]

i hated how oda deployed all 5 gorosei at once, i expected one gorosei per upcoming arc

[coarse viper]

It had the 5 elders

[pine scaffold]

and it still had no tension

[dense haven]

you know oda is gonna skip

[pine scaffold]

they did nothing pretty much

[ornate tartan]

they are gonna do much better then ppl expect

including USOPP

[pine scaffold]

Oda made Luffy, Dorry and Broggy laugh their asses off

there was no danger

[coarse viper]

"muh steaks" in the big 2025

[hearty shore]

also now that i think about it, deploying all 5 gorosei elsewhere leaves mariejois completely vulnerable where imu doesn't normally look

[lofty fern]

I need Garp to actually say he's trying to change something and actually show intent in doing so. That's my biggest difference between Garp and Dragon.

[pine scaffold]

yeah Oda dropping all 5 gorosei was a bad move

its a cool moment but

[dense haven]

sb do you hate the gorosei

[coarse viper]

This is oda 15, oda 14 would have skipped god valley

[pine scaffold]

love them

[native seal]

i think that's the path oda paved for garp, him bearing the weight of having to be called the "hero" of this incident while saving all the marines and civilians from getting executed

[pine scaffold]

but they were pretty disappointing in Egghead

[lofty fern]

He knew he was going to have them die in the next arc, so he needed them to get all their laughs out then

[pine scaffold]

a lot of people in this chat share the same opinion that having all 5 gorosei at Egghead was a bad move

[lofty fern]

They did what they set out to do, show off. That was their only goal. Oda couldn't have them kill anyone yet

[ashen perch]

I disagree, last time we saw Saul, he still had beef with the Elbaf's giants and Elbaf also is generally bigoted against his kind of giants. He is also from the same sea as Ida so that also is important. I think Oda has to address it

[hearty shore]

so aura farming?

[pine scaffold]

idk why people actually expect current day Elbaf to be better than GV

you're crazy lol

[lofty fern]

People don't want to admit it, but things actually worked out pretty well here for the WG

[ashen perch]

because the bar is extremely low

[ornate tartan]

it’s gonna be 5 times better

[dense haven]

tbh they only retreated because it was joyboys haki the literal top 1 in history

[pine scaffold]

nope

watch everyone start complaining when we get to current elbaf

[ashen perch]

"why do people expect current day Elbaf to be better than Syrup Village"

[pine scaffold]

I bet everyone will switch up

[native seal]

okay now comparing god valley with syrup village is pushing it

[urban lodge]

Because god valley is ass

[lofty fern]

Maybe, though I won't expect anything big

[dense haven]

joyboy and imu are on another level

[ornate tartan]

god valley other then 1 fight between rocks roger and garp and a good emotional moment between rayleigh and shakuyaku, what else happened there?😂

[hearty shore]

genocide

[ornate tartan]

Imu saved god valley

he made it way more interesting

[native seal]

i thought the GV shade would be limited to twitter but nah 😭

[urban lodge]

I will admit Rocks was finally a real character in his final moments

[lofty fern]

I want to see Whitebeard, Graham and Marco interacting 🥰

[pine scaffold]

yeah this chat mostly hates GV

[ornate tartan]

I never said God Valley was bad

[urban lodge]

And it's ironic because it wasn't really him

[dense haven]

imu saved elbaf too I was about to crash out with the kidnapping plot

[glass plume]

i pray that we see Garp and Dragon interact next chapter

[native seal]

i been praying for 6 chapters brother

[ornate tartan]

I like God Valley but it’s not gonna be better then the current arc😂

[glass plume]

maybe even the conversation that leads to Dragon's departure from the Marines

[glass plume]

only?

[pine scaffold]

People didnt believe me that people hated the kidnapping plot

I told them that before Imu showed up, people hated it

nobody believed me

[dense haven]

even arsal hated it

[pine scaffold]

WAIT WHAT?

NAHHHHHH

[ashen perch]

eh, a chapter or two of addressing it would be nice atleast. I think Ida was the reason why Saul was allowed to stay, so that sort of thing has to be important

[urban lodge]

Main arc Elbaf is perfect, I have zero complaints

[hearty shore]

i mean it was definitely a good way to bring everyone to GV

[ashen perch]

I said it felt directionless

[lofty fern]

I think they are going to just miss each other. Garp is out of commission after this. He'll be on his ship and Dragon meanwhile will have to runaway from all this

[ornate tartan]

present Elbaf is not only the situation happening right now, there can also be cutaways to other places like holy land, and plot twists with ppl showing up on the island unexpectedly too

[trim lily]

i don’t know if i’d call it good but it was certainly a way

[glass plume]

i think it would be a miss, if we didn't get anything from them interacting

[gloomy tree]

why would anyone believe you anything, considering you are making shit up constantly and ragebait constantly

[native seal]

"i didnt find any of the justice they wear on their backs" dragon's lines hit different

[hearty shore]

but i really hated how they ALL started simping for shakky like come on there's no stoic character like luffy or something?

[pine scaffold]

I dont always do that

[ashen perch]

We were not seeing it go anywhere, the HKs were good but with Shamrock having left, it was difficult to imagine them being the central antagonists of the arc

[gloomy tree]

and another lie

[dense haven]

dragon will dip once they get to safety

[ashen perch]

now that Imu has showed up and cleared it all up, I like that part, it was good. It was necessary.

[glass plume]

Dragon has been the higlight of God Valley to me

[hearty shore]

rocks literally had a wife and a child, why would he, uhhh

[dense haven]

or maybe they don't even do anything to him since garp attacked imu and was forgiven

[trim lily]

this was before

[hearty shore]

oh ok

[native seal]

oda probably saved dragon getting his fruit for his flashback, i thought he would get his fruit near the end of GV then dip on some flying shit

[pine scaffold]

he stopped being a weirdo after he got a wife and child

[ashen perch]

Present Day Elbaf has been really great and I can't wait to see where it goes, its not crazy to prefer it over GV

[pine scaffold]

so he does become stoic

[glass plume]

i've seen people say that a slave would offer it to him, in return for saving them

but i don't know

[trim lily]

i’m not really looking forward to the imu stuff in elbaf but i’m excited to see how everything else turns out

[hearty shore]

still seems out of character for him to fold like that tho

[lofty fern]

I wanted it more than anything, but the way it's set up. It feels like they're not going to meet at least not here, By the time Garp will even realize Dragon was on GV, will probably be after Dragon has already run away from being courtmarshaled/ executed.

[ornate tartan]

it gave us a new insight on his characterization and what led him to become the man he is today. I’d say 10/10 for him, he was also an unexpected addition which was great

[pine scaffold]

I agree yeah

[dense haven]

can't even slander rocks correctly smh

[pine scaffold]

WB as well

[glass plume]

hopefully we at least get to hear their inner thoughts about eachother, especially Garp
