Loki can’t be any of them
Doffy was something like 10
Do characters who got it as kids but couldn't control it count?
Yamato was 8
Loki will barely be relevant after this arc except a strawhat ally. He’ll be like Barto or smthn.
Oh yeah
Bart isn't on the mural
So...
I don't see much connection

Blackbeard isn’t either
The mural seems to depict Luffy's allies
Blackbeard is the wild card or whatever
True
Well yes but what would he have done if Sommers got up while he was dealing with Killingham. Or was he going to do something else
Idk why this matters anyways this doesn't take away from Loki's importance at all
Loki will be a Luffy ally, like I said. And he will also be irrelevant after this arc until the final war like I said.
That is definitely a Loki equivalent
Except he has a really long toothpick in the mural
I wonder if it’s just a matter of beating them with coc until they die
Loki becomes Harald 2.0 soon
Nika has a sword in the mural
Loki is a hammerman not a spearman
You can start claiming it's Loki when Loki starts fighting with a spear

Does Luffy wield swords?
Thats not luffy
That's hajrudin gang
Symbolism, Icon, symbolism
He will be like Harald too
I know that's not the literal Loki I'm just saying it's a shitty weapon
In some ways
It might actually be Rocks + Harald
Also, Loki said he is the Nika that will bring the world to ruin
And he fought with Rocks I doubt he'd just be discarded after this arc until the FW
Ah I almost forgot
Sun god
giant giant model nika maybe
Sun sun fruit
Nobody else has a proclaimed legendary fruit except for Luffy
Literally not a single reason for Loki to be left out of future arcs
Bet your firstborn child
Loki will probably be the main giant ally in the final war
Are different interpretations of the same being enough to create separate fruits
Also Luffy asked Loki to join the crew, which Loki declined
Lots of strawhats share this
If what vegapunk says is true, then yes
I'm not saying it confirms he's on but it makes it quite likely
Ngl
@urban lodge lets make a bet for a 1 month mute on Loki being included in the next arc
I hope it happens
if the belief that nika was a liberator that fought with a smile on his face had a fruit that matched it, it makes sense that there'd be a god of destruction fruit too
Same,I want bibelot to shrink him
Lilith can make some shit to shrink him
Don't think that's in Bibleot's power list 😭
I don't do bets
We've seen the bird for a few panels and some fishy ass librarian gave us the explanation. I'll wait for the bird itself to do/say something
I hear chicken ngl can you repeat that
If you want month long bets you know who to bet with
(me)

Is meek currently muted
Wanna bet
Or no he had to leave for the bet
Ill bet
I don't need them to do it for me
i'll take you up on the "will loki show up next arc" bet
ishy
Maybe if we knew what the next arc might be ye, but it could be anything atp
there hasn't been enough eustass die hard posting
Ok you get muted for 1 month if Biblio the Owl doesn't have shrinking powers while I get muted for 1 month if Biblio the Owl does have shrinking powers and if Biblio has neither, nothing happens 
agenda isn't the same anymore
No fuck that owl
man you're ducking from the loki bet
Domi reversi loki
the current agendas in the spotlight have too much going for them, we need a new underdog
Domi Hajrudin might be bet worthy
Us Kid fans are patiently waiting for him to show up to Elbaph and kill Gunko
Fuck Hajrudin
Name + avi for 2 weeks
switch to the usopp agenda. at least he'll do something this arc 😭
What's avi
Pfp
...
Debatable
Nah, it’s Brook’s arc now
breathing counts for my argument
Oh
Alr
bro theres so much gold waiting for us after this flashback ends. i really wanna see brook and gunko's backstory
If Loki does get Domi Reversi-ed, You get to change my avatar and name for 2 weeks
If Loki doesn't get Domi Reversi-ed, I get to change your avatar and name for 2 weeks
I agree
Get ready to be | Loki Agenda Spreader | number 3
Damn, how are we allowing socrates to be correct over another person
I have something special for you boy

that is the safest bet ever for you socrates 😭
Loki is getting reversi'd
wanna actually bet something?
I feel like losing to Socrates wouldn’t even be that bad cuz it would just be some Loki agenda shit
Not if oda wants elbaf to be good
Either that or Garling slander
That’s better than getting a slander name of somebody you like
Nah he doesn't even care about Garling
Yeah, I hope Brook will save Gunko like awakened his DF to revive her or something. I mean, the only solution to DR is to kill them (for now). Or, Imu might do it like what happened to Saturn.
His idol and his dad both got reversi'd and died, he will get too but he'll get saved by the real nika
We cant let Loki lose his aura too
Loki has lots of distinguishing factors
For one neither his idol or his dad had a LEGENDARY devil fruit
Special eyes
His only hope is if he actually does have a nika variation
damn, bro is trying hard to make loki unappealing
Saliva alt better
Idk red looks good on Icon
Avatar includes role color right
No
Alr I'll have to make it look red then
But im not that petty idrc
they'd low dif luffy and loki combined

A word regarding the passing of ONE PIECE series director Tatsuya Nagamine.
︀︀Rest in Peace Nagamine-san.
Sad news and wish the best for the family of the director of thru have any... but I have to post this when I see Henry
I had to break into my own apartment
First Victoria had me fucked up
Now tjis
And no chapter
This day ain’t shit
who is victoria

100k twitter banger
Tbh
RIP Cole Brown, the original dub voice for Blackbeard
Does he say fucking delicious
who's the tom brady of one piece
Garling
He gotten a title he didn’t deserve or earned
And is able to get away from the consequences of his actions
Like the real tom Brady
Robin with the way she deflated the balls
Sounds like a wonderful man who created beautiful experiences RIP
Shanks or Zoro tbh
Luffy: Anderson Silva
Kaido: Jon Jones
Oh she cooked the life out of you
crocodile has way too much aura for a guy that gets no diffed by a water bottle
Crocodile served his purpose in the story. He has been reduced to a henchman of Buggy
bring back my boi
coat his sand with haki so he blocks water

i dont think ive seen a single logia coat their element with haki
smoker haki flying fist dont count
dont think kuzan even made ice haki
same with kizaru laser sword
GB might have but thats still debatable
Smoker needs to train with Garp or Sengoku
my take on smoker is hes going to do something reckless against WG
cuz he got inspired by fujitora
not saying he will succeed tho
The all purple
the dumbest thing was that it took a lot of water to do anything to crocodile, but apprently luffy has infinite blood
Why. I don't care about logia
why did u reply with vergo then 
Because he is the haki king
BB is half Logia. Have we seen him use Haki?
WAS stronger than sanji
i dont rly get why bbs fruit is called a logia
All I care about is him being all purple
was pica also purple
Larry David has haki?
he has observation haki that lets him choose the worst possible future for himself in any situation
Thi… that pfp
not sure myself. We haven’t seen the logia typical intangibility yet with his fruit. Maybe it’s paramecia afterall
i think it really does function more like a paramecia but oda was just saying logia because it was new and exciting (oda IS NOT a reliable source)
That’s not Robin…
I know
I had a pig last week. Don't think too much about it
That’s also not Robin
live action pfp
Just think of me as somewhat chaotic
whose live action Shamrock?
Orlando Bloom would probably knock it out of the park, but let's be real we ain't getting to live action Elbaph
that guy is old now
yeah that too
You just use the same guy as shanks
Peter Gadiot
I’ll be amazed if we get live action Franky
Random thought
Logia awakening they just become a whole ass elemental like they come from DnD
…man Shūichi Ikeda is gonna be retired by the time Shanks gets the primary focus
That sucks
Akainu awakening he just becomes a primordial lava elemental monster that was sleeping in a volcano for a 1000 years
Fuck yeah
I wonder if Logia awakenings turns their element from something based on earth’s nature to something based on extraterrestrial/cosmic nature
The paramecias already stole the "I turn inanimate things into my fruit power"
Logia should just be "mother nature has finally given me a proper form"
Advanced conqueror’s is Armament 2
Akainu should be looking like this mfer for an awakening
It is very possible logia and paramecia awakening are similar
And in fact I’m expecting a back reveal that Sakazuki and Kuzan were awoken this whole time
Oh I think they'll spread their element around easily
But way I see it
Logias tend to be like...
Human except the specific body part that they channel their element power
Like u see here, that part of him is just magma but he's still maintaining human form
Im saying they should say fuck humanity, become a literal incarnate of nature like the elementals u see in other fiction and dnd
Like imagine if Croc just fell in the desert laughing
Silence
Then the desert starts shaking and molding into a physical shape of sand and earth becoming a giant monster
Only thing I’m sure of is logia awakenings will be nuts
"You can squirt water at me to make me solid Straw Hat? Can you do that to the entire desert!?"
Unless oda goes "nah they just convert the ground to element. Gg'
U know
What if imu was actually a Logia fruit...that just happened to be compatible with the sea
Minus the weird ass tentacles and demon shit
DF awakenings don’t seem to matter much going forward because Haki transcends all ™
But its more fun
Yeah but then we saw Awakenings disprove that
that’s because Haki was used
Tbh im kind of on team "haki kinda boring"
Haki was a necessary evil otherwise Logias would be unbeatable.
Oh as a plot device I understand
Its the normal fighter dood getting the supernatural powers to beat magic vibe
unless you’re Crocodile
But in terms of depiction, the actual showcasing comes from the character's natural abilities
Garp+Roger combined their haki to beat Rocks but their haki isnt their super move
Even something like galaxy impact
Is it a "haki technique" or is garp just built different that he punches giant shockwaves with pure force
Idk about that
Most of the haki stuff in general is just an enhancement of physical stuff
Observation is basically 6th sense
Armament....hit hard defend gud
Conqueror coating....hit harder harder
Also defend gud even more gud
The natural conqueror haki is arguably the 1 true technique it has, actively using your own will to knock out people unconscious, only works on weaklings tho
i mean.. thats def haki
He infused his attacks with haki for sure
But is haki NEEDED to do that or is garp just built diff
Pre-ts zoro can do air slashes naturally
Actually scratch that
Remember when zoro and luffy did a combined air shockwave blast strong enough to punch a hole in a super tidal wave
Without Haki Garps punches wouldn’t hurt Luffy
Thats not my point
Im saying for these amazing supernatural techniques in OP
Is Haki needed
Or is haki just
"Haha I hurt u now your bs power is turned off"
Cuz im saying haki is mostly just appearing as somewhat boring physical enhancements vs the more diverse movesets and powers of fruits
U got the 5 elders marching more like the 5 Demon Lords of Hell itself
No as we have seen in pre-TS fights. But Haki made everything strong it made DFs kinda pointless if you’re a Haki merchant like Shanks.
"DFs kinda pointless" is wild
We just had Wano that had a massive DF merchant in there going 1v20
Haki is more of an equalizer than DF being pointless
Despite kaido going "haki is best gg lmao"
in the context of strong Haki. DFs were more relevant pre-TS. Now it’s all about Haki
This was his best move
"Haki is the best...even tho im a giant island sized fire dragon that can probably literally burn the island itself"
But its not all about haki
Luffy literally won in Wano because of a DF awakening
And won with a more entertaining moveset more importantly

He used Haki. Without it, he wouldn’t even damage Kaido
And without G5 he's dead
Literally
His heart stopped
The Nika fruit is kinda bullshit tho
Hell lets even go to Elbaf, where one of the main plot points is Loki eating a Legendary DF
Goal post moving
I mean haki literally got conqueror defense now
"If u aren't high enough level, 0 damage"
I’m talking about the fact that Kaido and Big Mom couldnt undo Awakened alterations to them
Exactly. If DFs were so relevant, then Caesar could have killed the whole verse by cutting off oxygen.
....well didnt he cut off oxygen for luffy and others?
And in the end
Its caesar
Some fruits are capable of insanity but they're limited by the user
only temporarily

Temporarily is a super long time for something as important as oxygen lol
?
nah, humans can live a couple minutes without breathing. Then we have One Piece humans
that’s related to Imu. We still don’t know much about her/him.
If lokis fruit was passed on for generations in his family why didn’t harald eat it
So... in relation to Imu they're relevant but any other context they're irrelevant?
Imu is special in case you haven’t figured it out yet
@rose rune
Maybe
Just maybe
He didnt wanna
Rocks was looking for the anti-imu anti-imu fruit
Completely useless unless the enemy is imu

Why not
maybe he likes swimming
You know... DFs being irrelevant & all...
It must be the haki haki no mi to be relevant
thats reasonable
what could’ve been the reason Harald ripped off his horn?
for betraying rocks’s friendship maybe
how are his horns related to friendship with Rocks?
Idk
But like
That’s a super important plot
Well making himself suffer as an apology to rocks works as one level
Though I wouldn’t recommend this kids, don’t self harm as a way to show love unless you’re okay with being a certified crazy person in need of help
On another level, the government wants to use the giants as soldiers and reduce them to their warring past
It was actually the first sign of harald turning into a demon
He didnt need giant horns
He needed demon horns
Harald ripping out the symbol of that past, his ancient giant horns, can be symbolic of saying he will never allow them to be reduced to someone’s soldiers
Rocks: anyways be my soldiers
yes, but again we still know too little about Imu. Maybe we really need the 2 DFs Rocks was talking about, but maybe Imu will pull a “you thought you needed those 2 DFs, surprise MFs, they’re useless against me now” or something. It’s too early to tell. Maybe Oda wants to to believe those 2 DFs are needed.
that seems to be the case that without those 2 DFs you can’t do anything to Imu
since we just saw all the legends attack imu with insanely strong haki together and it did absolutely nothing
i wonder whats gonna happen once theres a counter to the regeneration, because all of those characters (including the elders tbh) seem kinda weak
they’re all cooked lol
although i guess it makes sense, they were scared of the emperors
which wouldnt make sense if they were strong enough to easily beat them
actually shaking in their boots wondering if it was better to take out joyboy or kaido
well if taking out joyboy was worth making kaido mad
now that i think about it, it makes a lot of sense that rocks could make it to the flower room who tf was gonna stop him lmao
Gorosei
the five elders were also in the room trying to regenerate while rocks was chatting it up with imu
after seeing egghead i really dont see them being that big of a threat to him lol
we saw their strongest holy knight get embarrassed by him already , we already saw how the gorosei move in egghead and they couldn’t stop anything lol
the gorosei were probably busy with handling the reverie if i had to guess
legit even if they were there it wouldnt have mattered imo
Warcury no selled gear 5 Luffy lol
i mean yeah, they should have rushed to Imu's side
Warcury still couldn’t stop luffy , dorry or brogy
True
but... seems like they didn't need to after all
given Xebec knew that he wasn't a match for Imu either way, so it was more of an empty threat i suppose
Classic, people underrating the Gorosei
imu didnt end rocks there and let him run around for another 2+ years, either he couldnt kill him or wasnt that concerned (HUH?)
just because they didn't outclass an emperor, lol
legit let rocks consolidate power for 2 straight years
i think that Imu wasn't interested, until they heard that they are a relative of Davy Jones
that’s the point , if the gorosei couldn’t outclass luffy then it’s no way in hell anybody is gonna think they could do any better with Rocks lol if anything they would do even worst
Imu seemed to not be bothered when Xebec came in unannounced
Dory and Broggy looked like 2016 Kyrie Irving and Kevin love out there in egghead when normally they ass
Almost like Nusjuro didn't speed blitz across the island or Wacury didn't get tank feats like Kaido, oh wait... they did
yeah... they tend to neglect those things
yeah true, i guess there is only one really specific way to beat imu and anything short of that is just boring admin stuff for the gorosei and navy to deal with
Imu is probably the only true immortal, unlike the gorosei and god knights i doubt that Imu actually can die
if you're not Nika that is
so they look ass vs everybody else except the gorosei ? hmm i wonder why that is lol
At least Gunko too tbh, probably Gorosei as well bar Garling
feels like Xebec needed to two fruits in order to pose a threat for Imu, which he didn't get
well, i think that they've got very good regeneration and all but i don't think that they're immortal in the same vein as Imu
i feel like the damage imu takes isnt real either from what he have seen, not [damaged -> regeneration] its more like the attacks dont actually hit properly
compared to the gorosei who are like warlord level but with regen
maybe part of that haki defense, lmfao
basically if you switch out Imu for any gorosei during that combo attack during god valley , the gorosei gonna be looking like garling afterwards
though Imu did get sliced, they just didn't seem bothered by it 
lmfao, you could place anyone in that scenario and they'd be mush
the way im picturing it is more like cutting through water rather than fast regen
the cut goes through but it doesnt actually damage anything structurally
i’m taking about their regen being different levels
Power of friendship lol
yeah i agree
whereas the gorosei/holy knights get hurt but regenerate
Well if you're like me then you believe the only true immortality comes from the Op Op no mi & whatever it is that Imu grants is just a pseudo immortality in the form of regen (you still age etc, you just don't die to like having an arm cut off etc)
the question is whether that was Imu’s real physical body or some kind of a projection.
yeah i believe so , it wasn’t anything like gunko .. the entire time imu was on top of saturn
I think Imu’s just evolved beyond the concept of a mortal form
i'm starting to believe more and more that Imu's powers were granted from black-magic more so than an actual fruit, though i could be very wrong
also did they specifically call imu a shadow?
The shadow is Imu, it’s not physically real
not a sillhouette, but actually does look like that
even when rocks would attack , he would just ignore the saturn portion and go straight for imu
Haki doesn’t work because there’s no true body to hit
this makes the most sense to me
Moria 😏
yeah if you don’t got the 2 DFs needed , you can’t do anything meaningful to Imu
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO BRING HIM UP LMAO
This also goes part way to explaining the possession
Much easier to possess people when you don’t have a body
feels like Imu almost manifested themselves from Saturn here, essentialy i believe that Imu can manifest themselves from any of the gorosei or god knights at any given time
moria has a weird devil body and the shadow fruit, is that not a weird coincidence???
it actually reminds me a lot of the symbiotes from Marvel, lol
What if Moria or a ancestor of Morias fruit unironically took Imu shadow and that’s why we don’t see Imu outside ever
not like coincidence because its spooky tropes, but it does coincide
Can he also read the Poneglyphs?
lol that’s actually a perfect comparison .. Imu was like a symbiote in god valley .. WE ARE IMU 😂
It’s just the fruit my boy
Imu being a shadow from the shadow fruit is galaxy brain
wait how has no one started a moria summoning mahoraga agenda
Because fuck Moria
this is genius
the sillhouettes which appeared before we got the reveal of the other gorosei also reminds me a lot of how Imu looks 
Reminds me of a parasite & also i can't help but wonder if Gunko is a 'perfect host'
The worst part of the shadow fruit is that Moria has it
i think the perfect host will be Vivi, which is why Imu desires them
What if
there's something special with the Nefertari
yeah gunko is weird, idk the translations cus it kept changing but they called her something weird on god valley (and she hasnt aged)
she isnt a gods knight shes something else
Imu asked america for 20 billion dollars
a weapon or tool or something
Imu likes Gunko a lot
i saw other people say that, whats the basis?
Gunko seems to be the closest to Imu yeah, given they're their maiden of sorts
Those tentacles Rocks was hit with didn’t hurt him he said. So it couldn’t have been something physical that touched him. Hence why the attacks of the pirates and Garp didn’t do anything
something in japanese?
They talk as if Gunko is in a lower position than the rest of the HKs
if anything i think they more or less paralyzed his body
He used 8 trigrams 64 palms
sort of like a neuro-toxin
thats it though?
because i feel like there could be other reasons for that role to be looked down on
eg. being a "living weapon" rather than a knight with agency and prestige
Gunko was new to the Manmayer family, wasn't she?
Gunko kinda speaks down to people like Sommers
"The knighthoods pet" implies a lower position than the rest
I’m actually kinda all in on Imu as a shadow from the shadow fruit now
Yeah these days she's an equal HK
ah right it says that in elbaf right, same title as the others
Oh but before you think she had a lesser role
then they'd have been eradicated when the previous user of the darkness fruit died, no?
“Great treasure of Marie Geoise” could be Imu’s real body, made immortal by ope ope
on god valley
I see
if ope ope made imu immortal, how does he make the others immortal?
Boa’s death wouldn’t have unstoned all the BBP
Other versions of seeming immortality, yeah
hmm, i guess you do have a point 
Most definitely, the role of a squire or the like
Imu is the only true immortal
Imu's whole thing seems to be around rituals and black-magic
wait i missed this message before u are perhaps cooking
Yeah she's called a HK on Elbaf
Maybe Imu is just a soul of someone and doesn’t have a physical body.
but imu dint do any ritual vs rocks 
I took it from here
Is imu the sorcerer supreme?
maybe more so Satan
it seems weird to think about this late, but magic is real in one piece and exists outside of devil fruit, we just havent seen anyone outside of the wg use it
atp i believe that Imu is the personification of Satan and Satanism as a whole, the Celestial Dragons are essentialy a cult anyways
One piece might deadass turn into black clover and I’m here for it
I scratched my head on that as well. Maybe only his minion need that
from the elbaf mural, devil fruit werent always a thing
Are you aware of Gnosticism and the Demiurge?
it's probably very forbidden knowledge... maybe that's how the Ancient Kingdom came to prosper?
who knows really
best i have is the gorosei imu requires no magic circle
nope
Imu takes the appearance of Satan but is in function a demiurge
ooooh
Demiurge, Overlord reference 
the Lion snake?
That is one representation of it
I think the ritual is only used for the first person she Domi Reversis
Yea I played dragon ball xenoverse back in the day
Xenoblade
i wont be surprise if imu opens up more circles and brings in more HKs or possibly a gorosei
Because we see a bunch of demonized Davys before Rocks is turned
Xenoverse is dragon ball
i watched an Elden Ring lore video once and then they referenced the Demiurge, lol i remember it now
We know that objects can „eat” devil fruits as well. Maybe Imu is the sea that ate a certain fruit.
could be
thing is the davy clan got turned demon before imu showed up
my interpretation is that the ancient kingdom used the mother flame to prosper, which made the gods mad -> bunch of stuff happens -> creation of red line, devil fruit, flooding of world, death of nika/joyboy
tbf that shit was offscreen stuff
Oda probably in this server watching with popcorn rn
Presumably Imu hadn't shown up to GV at that point but also presumably Imu is the only one to use Domi Reversi
essentialy yeah, but what if magic is the root of the mother flame?
😫
@oda spill the tea
i mean i assume it is
what if magic is the root to most of the things we've experienced, like devil fruits etc.
Idk how Domi Reversi takes place when Imu isn't even there
The demiurge is a false creator deity that created the modern physical world people live in, and deceives those people into thinking it is the true real world when it is not.
Just like Imu making the modern seas, when we know the true world is hidden beneath the waves.
and it's forbidden knowledge, only restricted to Imu at this point
i mean its not science
That doesn't make sense
Imu's grimoire is also very interesting
Damn I would believe this too this world is a meme
cyrene...
very interesting
Ohh
Maybe a Gorosei did it?
So it’s the news ?
Gnosticism is a religion around finding a way to see past this falsehood and find a way into the Truth
Gorosei is 2nd in power anyways
how many gods do u guys think exist?
god of the forest -> devil fruit
god of the earth -> mad about ppl using mother flame, creates grand line
god of the sun -> slaves prayed to nika
god of the sea -> flooded the earth probably
do we know the identity of the mystery man from the “who will claim the OP” panel?
feels like there are more gods propping up every arc, lol
Shamrock
any u can think of?
Should be Shamrock
So my thesis statement is Imu is in the role of a demiurge
And then I’m supplementing this by saying physically the Imu we know is the shadow of Imu’s actual body, which is immortal by ope ope and hiding out/trapped in Marie Geoise somewhere
seperate from god of sea?
The IRS
which i still believe is some form of Dragon, lol
essentialy i think that the god of sea is Poseidon, while god of rain is some devil fruit
you think Shamrock will fight his father?
it could be the same person, but i don't think so right now
the way the mural says "the god of the forest sent forth devils" makes me think devil fruit didnt exist until the second world
that could be the case. 
Nah i doubt that, boys been groomed too much by his mother killing father
also based on devil fruits, the god of the forest and the god of the sea are enemies
god the sea is a fishman i bet
yeah, forest = fruits i assume
not literal devils
"forest god sent forth devils" = forest god spawned in devil fruit
the different translations give the same vibe too
wasn't there someone who tamed them?
"the forest god tamed demons"
ah there it is
Idk... "tamed demons" doesn't sound like DFs to me ngl
maybe that just means the forest god domi reversed people
Though i think Imu is the Forest God
Could it be talking about Sea Devils?
Imu definitely the sea god
They make Devil Fruits
Isn’t imu based off a Japanese deity
its a forest god, doesnt it sound kinda like it'd be putting the devils into the fruits or something
I think with Imu's talk of literal demons & how its the only right form to take, its a literal statement
taming meaning using the devils to suit their purpose
and as the forest god it'd make the most sense to turn them into fruit
You got a point. Imu is Umi in reverse.
Umibozu
I can see why but no
i'm having a struggle wrapping my head around all of the murals lore
feels like there's a lot of pieces which have been left out
i just think the connection between forest and fruit is too convenient to ignore
which we'll discover in the Void Century
Maybe Davy Jones was the original sea god
forest + devil when something called devil fruit exists just makes perfect sense to me
Imu does revoke the fact however, saying that he wasn't a king...
Is imu connected to those black things we saw in skypeia
It all depends on who you think the Forest God is
i don't know what to believe anymore 
Smokey the bear
if imu is the forest god, then wouldnt they really not be chill with the water levels rising?
that could be interesting but i dont think its the case
Why would they care if the power they have is of literal demons & not DFs? Perhaps they're not weak to it... we saw Saturn in Egghead gladly be at risk of falling into the sea
A lot of people think chopper is the forest god lol
I would bet a million percent dragon is one of them, I think he’s the rain god
ok but if ur the god of forests wouldnt you want more land and more forest and not more water
Imu wants the world, could be that at first Imu had good intentions but was also corrupted by the demonic powers
same
but if imu is the FOREST GOD i dont see it
like if imu was a human
and got corrupted yeah sure
Okay we're just gonna go round in circles
If imu is the forest god I don’t think blowing up lulusia was good for the environment
wouldnt the forest god have a more foresty or godly plan in mind
Yea
a human who wants power makes sense
The forest god would be a lot more conscious of their carbon footprint
a sea god trying to make the world theirs makes sense
Imu can’t be the forest god if we assume the forest god is the source of all DFs. Why would someone who reigns over a forest of fruits seek a certain devil fruit?
True
Man I’d love it if there was a counter to Imu
Like a trapped god who’s good but I doubt that’s the case
well yeah thats how this started (the opposite way), kierran thinks the forest god didnt spawn the devil fruits because they think the forest god is imu
i think the forest god is the source of dfs
imu could definitely be the sea god
Is green bull out of the conversation
Yes
He is pretty foresty
Maybe One Piece is just a world where Gods play and the people are their pawns.
Ah
Green bull needs a better pr team
Bro literally has the forest fruit and no one thinks he’s the forest god
Luffy has the sun god fruit and is just rubber lmao
I remember them saying it was tied to his imagination
Did he imagine himself as rubber or is that literally the fruit
Ya that was a translations thing
humans touched forbidden sun (mother flame), slaves prayed -> earth god gets mad and makes the red line, sun god appears
forest god spawns devil fruit -> sun spread fires of war (slave rebellion maybe? two different kingdoms of opposing ideals?) -> man killed the sun and became gods (killed joyboy and became celestial dragons) -> the sea god stormed /rampaged (imu taking over the world)
any alternatives on any of those points
i should probably number them
good points but why does the Mother Flame exist back then?
isnt that the whole lore behind the mother flame?
thats like the one piece (heh) of the puzzle we do have
Idk, my Egghead memory is kinda rusty regarding that
basically iirc, the mother flame is vegapunk recreating the energy source the ancient world used to power stuff like the ancient weapons
then york steals some and imu uses it to blow up lulusia somehow
got it
Forest god is probably imu with the gorosai
Idk if imu one of the gods
a. imu is forest god and the sea god is mad that ppl killed joyboy and is drowning the world to try stop imu (which is why imu is hiding on the red line)
I think it takes the 4 gods to beat imu
i dont have another option rn but thats the only way it makes sense to me
Sea god could be the creation of the calm belt
We can just agree to disagree but yeah i think this line from Gunkmu says a lot, being a demon is a literal thing.
Imu's "Flower room" too which is a big nature motif
& ofc Forest God tamed demons... once again i think this is literal... DFs are said to have a will of their own (at least the Zoans) & how the Nika fruit was constantly evading the WG, to me says they're "untamable"
That fits they will not meet again
well i assume the sea god is the flooding of the world, its gone up 200m and the world as we know it is just mountaintops
so all of it
the flooding, the grand line, the red line
Oh shi
however reverse mountain works, however enies lobby works
Wind Waker
Nah think thats just a by product of Uranus
Maybe Imu is both Forest and Sea God
i havent seen anyone talk about enies lobby in a hot minute, and i havent thought about it either
or there are multiple Imus
this makes sense tho, i only just now considered the idea of a giant hole in the ocean
like that seems pretty important
There’s an underwater one called Seamu
the forest and sea god are fighting each other and one of them is probably imu
Has anyone been to the bottom of the ocean in one piece
Imu contradicts this though, they're the one flooding the world
I’d imagine it’s like space in that world
Davy jones
other than lulusia, is this confirmed?
Davy jones was a wee pirate ay lad?
Wait, Imu refers to her/himself as “Mu”. Maybe he really is the amalgamation of different *mus, not just the Sea God Imu.
i personally dont think imu is a god, i wouldnt like that as a plot device
i prefer imu being a corrupted human
I think imu has to be because plot and the 2nd world text is pretty much imu and wg killing joyboy
but why are devil fruits the enemy of the sea
VP warned of the world ending via flooding etc
Because if Imu ist just one Mu, where are the other Gods?
and this means imu is behind it bcus the wg doesnt want the info to get out?
Sea forest sun earth
Imu is literally in charge of the world? Nobody else is higher than Imu? The only person who ultimately can be behind it all is Imu
whats a king to a god 🗣️ 🗣️
Is imu smart?
Another god...
? Bro's just saying shit
man killed the sun and the sea god rampaged
where are they tho? We know Luffy is the sun god but where the others?
I never got the impression Imu was a mastermind
Imu, Blackbeard, Luffy, and shirahoshi are the gods, I don’t make the rules
A god would know all things
Sea : Shirahoshi
sun : Luffy
Earth : Imu
Forest : Greenbull
We don't know those are all the god mentioned in the Harley text
God of the earth I mean
Get midbull out of here
do u guys think imu is
forest god 🟢
Sea god 🔵
human 🟡
devil ⚫
No forest god option
oops
Imu is earth god. what Rocks says basically confirms it
Wouldn’t Crocodile be a better Earth God cuz he can suck water and is weak when wet?
i meant forest got not earth god, earth god seems unlikely to me
what does rocks say
he is just sand
sand?
i dont see imu being the earth god
bcus the earth god is mad about humans using the mother flame
Imu = world
i think "the world" just means the entire world aka world government aka status quo etc.
can have both meaning
how do you take the mural then
if he wanted it to only mean ruler then he could've said king of the world
if imu is the earth god
The question is where Imu is the forest god or the earth god
we don't even know 5% of it yet.
But Sand is silicone dioxide, that stuff lots of rocks are build from
Can Link defeat Imu
wdym
With enough prep time
that most of it is speculations
and Oda won't make things that obvious
Imu is forest, bb is earth
In the past, I’d say it’s likely Davy jones was earth
ok but id rather speculate on the mural which has a lot of meaning rather than "the world"
best ragebait ever: roger > rocks
could be because Earth sinks into the ocean if you throw some at it
I don’t expect it to be 1:1
that lines up with a lot of what vegapunk says
i think it speaks in metaphors but overall i think it'll be decently accurate
Yea
like i wouldnt be surprised if there arent any gods
If you want to make people argue a good old Mihawk > Shanks (or the other way around) will always work
and "natural" phenonama caused things that they attributed to gods
eg. devil fruits appearing wasnt caused by a forest god, but they started appearing and thats how they rationalised it
Specially if these gods appear again like idk buggy is the clown god
Shits so wacky
I think Earth God is just King of the World
I like the idea of there being gods before or the same gods are still alive
But when people start to say BB is the rain god etc
It’s all just gonna end up being advanced technology
My current interpretation is Davy Jones, with the yami yami was the previous ruler of the world. Imu, the forest god, and joyboy, the sun god, had joined forces and Imu ended up betraying joyboy and became the new ruler of the world.
in the terms of the mural, its implied that the earth god created the red line due to humans finding or using or abusing the motherflame
This is what ive been saying too
Imu and Joyboy teamed up but Imu betrayed Joyboy
But i also think Joyboy was on the same group as Davy Jones and it was basically a betrayal there too.
He joins forces with Imu seeking the best outcome since Davy Jones probably wanted something fucked up in Joyboy's interpretation but once Imu succeeded they betrayed Joyboy and had him killed somehow
Eh, serves joyboy right then. He was planning to betray and if you plan to betray one person, what’s to say you won’t betray another, so Imu had to betray him first
-
humans get greedy and use the mother flame
-
slaves pray and the sun god appears
3, earth god gets mad and creates red line -
forest god spawns devil fruit
-
war
-
humans kill sun god and become gods
-
sea god rampage / world gets flooded
regardless of if the gods are real or if they were just big events that happened
this is the order of events based on the mural
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Red_Line if we infer the earth god to be the ruler this could be a inspiration
Considering how much England colonized stuff
interesting
But why does the Earth God get mad?
good question ¯_(ツ)_/¯
presumably because the humans took the mother flame
or used the mother flame in a bad way
maybe both
based on the actualy picture in the mural they are digging up a bunch of mother flame esque stuff out of the earth and then using it to pollute
kinda like real life 
it reads that the Earth God got mad after the Sun God appeared. Maybe the Sun God caused droughts on the earth
pollution
maybe, but given the rest of one piece it seems more likely that the sun god is just the result of the slaves praying
and if it is a metaphorical god, it could just be the result of digging up the motherflame
like fracking or anything else similar
maybe the earth god doens’t like to get digged in
I think pollution might be correct. We have a similar thing in Wano
yeah it really does look like pollution is the reason
yeah I also believe Davy Jones had the yami yami
or just the digging of natural resources
then how does Laugh Tale fit in all this
oh actually i have one more piece of the puzzle
why is imu genociding all non humans
all non-default humans
and they are all coming together to beat imu at the end of the mural
cuz he is racist?
that would imply he know of the mural
wdym
theres layers to it
the CDs are racist to "humans" but they are EXTRA racist to buccaneers and stuff
and fishmen
so as much as they are gods above humanity, there is another layer below normal humans they look down on even more
the fact doffys family went down to the real world means the cds probably know they are genetically the same at the very least
i mean if the mural foretells the future and the future is non-regular humans beating the crap out of Imu, then this would only makes sense if Imu knows of and fears the future
but just look down like how rich people/royaly do irl
yeah this makes sense to me, maybe not the mural specifically but a prophesy of some sort
and ending all the bloodlines is the easiest way of making sure they dont show up to beat him
makes more sense to me than him just being racist lol but who knows
did Imu see the mural in Elbaf?
dunno
what
I mean Imu cleary is afraid of something
i’m sure they had one of these centuries ago that probably told Imu what/who would be their downfall and when it would come lol
yeah 100% lol
mightve been toki she knows everything
Toki was really on the same ship with Davy Jones descendant at the same time when they were with WB lol if only she knew , she could’ve dropped some lore
nah people dont talk to each other in one piece
lol you would think of all crews that the one who’s all about being a family (WB crew) that they would share stuff but Teach not sharing stuff makes sense.
franky has the blueprints to pluton memorised, robin spent 2 years with luffys dad,
not important tho who cares
one day those blueprints will come in handy and franky will need to build it
Pluton is gonna fall into the “ wrong” hands
maybe not build it but repair it or something
and they’ll have to build something to combat it
that's gonna be sunny's final upgrade
the mini sunny but its just the normal sunny docked in pluton
it makes sense that Sunny is the ship of the Sun God
Imu has Uranus , Luffy has Shirahoshi , Teach gets Pluton .. Franky has to use the blueprints he memorized to build something to combat it …
I imagine teach is somewhat secretive. Hes not like a good faith member of the whitebeard pirates family. He was lying in wait and killed both thatch and whitebeard as soon as it could get him what he wanted
I will forever think that Franky used bits of the Pluton blueprints to build the Sunny & the mini vehicles (Brachiotank etc)
he has my what?
when the blueprints were introduced as only being needed if pluton fell into the wrong hands … that’s typical Oda foreshadowing that it will fall into the wrong hands
Yeah BB will get Pluton
I'd bet everything on bb getting pluton
yeah maybe Pluton was Davy Jones original ship
just realised something thats probably super obvious
That was probably the Flying Dutchman
the noah is for when luffy destroys the world
Pluton = the OG flying dutchman would be 🔥🔥🔥 the shit we saw in FMI was just a replica knock off
Yeah it's gonna be like the end of skypeia I think when the whole world is out praying on boats cause everything is being destroyed
maybe that’s why Oda only ever bothered giving BB big logs for his ship cause he knew that wouldn’t be his main ship , it was just temporary until he got pluton
man, must have been one fast speedster
Pluton reminds me of Sailor Pluto, the darkness underworld themed Warrior. It fits BB.
oh i just realised bb can totally get it
"doesnt he need zunesha to break wanos walls"
any quakequakers
and the only person other than the strawhats who knows about it is....
law
who is in a blackbeard related pickle
yeah blackbeard is getting pluton
even better , if oda doesn’t want to “destroy“ wano then he can have Pizzaro just fuse with the walls and get pluton
Caribou also knows and is in the middle of telling bb
oh god i forgot about him
he knows EVERYTHING
I think the walls should be broken just because that would make it hard for Wano to stop him & easier for him to get it tbh, wont have to deal with all the freshwater inside
that slimy mf
lmao @ all the wano ppl getting stuck on top of a mountain after the water is gone
Like i can totally see Pluton being stolen without Wano even realising
BB breaks a hole in the walls
Waits for it to drain
goes in & takes it
Well they wouldn't be stuck, there is a way down but yeah
yeah that would honestly be better for wano citizens anyway lol
don’t gotta fight them
yeah true but im sure theyd be geekin for the first few days before they find out
peeking over the edge at a massive drop
unless Oda had BB take pluton and to test it out (since it’s stated to be able to obliterate islands ) he uses it on Wano ? lol nah that’s a little too dark 😂😳
poor wano they've been through enough
lol facts they’ve suffered enough
that'll put some chest hairs on momonosuke tho
Just a reminder that admirals>yonkos
Thing is Wano doesn't have anyone who could defend against BB & whoever he brings, so i do think the best way is to have him not fight them
Which ancient weapon would be the strongest
shirahoshi imo
got the most potential at least
Maybe we get something where BB goes to invade the usual way but see's a Dragon flying above Wano & thinks Kaido is still alive so he proceeds to break the walls instead
Agree with that
momo, yamato and the scabbards would put up a decent fight
they wouldnt win but its not a wash
Yamato is the only one out of those doing anything
it’s why i think Imu has shirahoshi here with current day joyboy davy jones lily
the scabbards were weirdly strong against kaido and kaido could clear bbs crew solo imo
Kaido is a different type of fighter
true
Maybe shirahoshi is the only human ancient weapon?
he’s gonna let you get all your attacks off to see how strong you are , BBP just gonna go straight for the kill lol
but they are in the same ballpark is all im saying, its not a complete stomp
What the scabbards did to Kaido, BB would do to them (jumping)
could they kill Kaido tho?
And in a jump off... BB wins
bb wins through plot always
Kuzan & Teach together ? of course adding everybody else to that is overkill
bb barely wins no matter the situation
kaido ain’t imu lol
i mean, a lot of people attempted to execute Kaido and failed
oh wait i forgor about kuzan
his endurance is through the roof
yeah if kuzan comes its wraps
Kaido is almost indestructible
BB & Kuzan is the deadliest duo in OP & nobody can change my mind on that
kaido never fought a admiral and yonko together plus every other crew member .. he’s cooked & i love kaido but let be fr
Loki is shaping up to be just as durable as Kaido
Theres a reason Oda hasn't had Kuzan fight with BB yet or vice versa
exactly , it’s literally overkill for any body who’s not imu
bb doesnt look particularly strong to me
Freeze + quake = gg
having a admiral and yonko together is underheard of in one piece
Its not even that, its the DF combo
Imagine having a teen vendetta plat for more than 800 years
Imu is such a pussy bitch
and not just any admiral but one who could’ve been fleet lol
yeah thats pretty cooked
Unbelievable
If its not an instant win the moment Kuzan freezes anyone, its an instant stalemate
Because BB just threatens with the Gura
well, we saw Garp break out of the ice
so you're saying is kuzan is faster and can freeze his opponent, he will win?
Loki might end up being comparable to Kaido in durability but for what we have seen so far, no one comes close to Kaido in that regard @glass plume
Yes Kuzan is faster & can freeze his opponents
Kaido is a tank
aight someone post doffy breaking out too
if you put kaido vs a admiral and yonko at the same time plus 9 other commanders .. Kaido is cooked lol
if that yonko is blackbeard he isnt
he is
someone needs to compile all the dmg kaido took since the start
Compare it to WB
too much to compile 
and he didnt even get "beaten" he got ringed out
U need advanced armament and conquerors coating to damage Kaido, mind you he doesn’t even have the regen the gorosei have😂😂😂
Too awkward to compile... wtf is classed as damage to Kaido 
he’s a beast
no he got beaten lmao wtf are we doing changing history
Luffy overpowered kaido and beat him , he didn’t get ringed out like big mom .. we don’t gotta lie for him
literally
tho assuming kaido does lose 30% of his brain will he keep fighting
ok yeah he was but i mean for oda to have us actually believe he was down for the count, he had to show kaido getting buried completely
bajrung gun would beat kaido yes
yeah bm was truly ringed out law cheesed her so hard by making that tunnel
Luffy needed Ryou and Acoc to actually damage Kaido tho
anesthesia is crazy on a sword
why are yall forgetting that?
losing a part of your brain doesn't seem to affect you that much in One Piece, lol
When plot requires the bullet to do d ate the bullet does damage, if the plot requires the bullet to do no damage because the character being hit by the bullet is resistant to bullets, said bullet does no damage. It's shrimple
kaido got slashed by oden and got KO for a moment
WB skull got melted and just kept going
was he really knocked out?
yeah thats the opening oden got
he did get sent to some place covered in lava
I love Kaido and he’ll forever be one of the strongest in 1v1 .. but him against the entire BBP by himself is too much lol he’s not winning that ..
but bajrung gun knocks him out anyway
tbf i don't remember most of Oden vs Kaido, since it's been so long 
so you're probably right
i mean cmon missing a brain is a big deal
"Some place covered in lava" you mean a volcano?
hes not winning against teech and aokiji let alone the rest

exactly lol adding 9+ other commanders on top of that is doing too much
given if he manages to break out from the ice like Garp did, I think he'd have a good chance tbh
Kuzan would have to resort to other attacks when that doesn't work
he won’t cause it’s not just ice he has to worry about
7/9 of the BB pirates can’t even damage Kaido
the other 2 are speculation
You need either Ryou or Acoc to actually hurt Kaido. Without these 2 whatever u do is pointless.
I have no doubt BB will have conquerors
I wonder, if BB negates a Zoan does that also negate the extra dura etc that having a Zoan gives you? 
yeah, i know.
but what would those other 10 people do?
i just had a re-read of luffy vs kaido, he didnt lose to accumulated damage he got oneshot
but it is still speculation
Kaido had cracked durability from the start, no?
which is a different beast, if u cant pull it off then ur cooked imo
by all means Kaido was born as an anomaly 
Teach & Kuzan together are winning that already , adding 9 other yonko commanders is overkill
He was strong as a kid yeah
unless mf’s think “godking” Shanks glazes Teach for no reason lol
old man went sicko mode
he’s just naturally a tank, the hybrid form makes him semi invincible though
yeah the DF is what makes him so hard to damage
u need 2 different types of advanced haki to even make him feel pain
