I wanna say something NSFW in reply to this but I'm afraid R-sal is lurking.
šļø
BTW some other thoughts, this is a cool island
this and his speech to the scabbards from ch 993 too yea
This is also very cool island
That looks like kano to me
Idk meek those look pretty warm
You right - i forgot about this lol
Now we finally get an answer to this. Why did Kaido not mention Rocks?
Because he died alone. He died to Garling stabbing him at 1HP. He didn't get any last words. He was turned into a demon
yup
He sank to the bottom of the sea.
yeah, Xebec couldnt do it right
Garling sucks so bad bruh
Ironically, the way Kaido was defeated was similar to how Rocks ended up. They both went underground. Do you think this is intentional?
Well yes
Rocks died and was forgotten
Kaido wanted a grandiose death but got the same fate
He didnt sign up to fight top tiers he signed up to hunt slaves and 3rd party
certainly distinguished himself

I doubt it
Make a wish merchant not crazy?
Garling was watching from behind the wall, ready to jump in and have his kill
Ah just like Blackbeard did against Whitebeard 
Man this was such a good spread and speech
We need this as a sticker
Cmon mods do smth
Chop chop
Ngl one of these days we will get a flashback for shanks and what he was up to in Mariejois, and given that Garling probably hates Shanks guts there is probably gonna be at least one instance where he will try to beat the shit out of him and as a result there will be at least a couple of morons who will hype garling up for the feat of beating his own 15 year old son. 
You should have never retired
I let yall down when yall needed me the most
Nah , I could see him dead ass going after them
He farming 1 xp
When does fighting path come to America š
But Rocks didnāt swim in magma
šš
Man me valley has been so rewarding for me, a smart person
Rocks is dead
RIP his son buggy lives on
champion of god valley btw
He scarred WB
Not so sure. If someone like Pele is able to survive an atomic bomb, it would not be farfetched to believe that Wocks survived being stabbed by a bum and drown in the sea.
I miss Kaido
don't spit the on the table that's bad manners
Did you see the news redbei?
Iām all for doubting Sengoku especially after this chapter
But no Rocks is dead
So is god valley flashback over over
Are the ārocks becomes Buggyā fans officially cooked
yooo zyphy, what did you think of the chapter
Aināt one piece great
nice ending to GV and glad we're finally tying back to elbaf, also finally getting a dragon-garp interaction after all these years is insane
we're really in the endgame now
they are but with Rocks official hair colour reveal the "Buggy is related to Rocks" people are on the rise
it is
fr man
Iām so excited for the end of the flashback
Oh yeah that was another thing
āWhy are we getting me valley hereā
Cause what happened to Rocks radicalized Harald
Truly me valley was Oda dapping up readers with patience
Letās hope something is learned š
"LOKI.... WAS BORN TO BOIL!!"
Morning š„±
Last day before Thanksgiving break š¦ š„³
i think they should give us the rest of november and entirety of december off
also january just to be nice
i really wanted more garp-dragon interactions but the little bit we got is very telling
that interaction was lacking interaction
Loki gon be movin like King Von now
That's college š
It said everything
Iām using this as proof that Garp supports Dragonās crusade against the CDs
although i'd like to see a dragon that's about to start the revo army's interactions with garp at that time
He just wishes dragon were doing it as a marine
But ultimately heās accepting of it
They still talk after all
true 
Indeed it was very good for their very first interaction
It was short but gave a pretty good idea where they stood
Garp is like a policeman who hates his corrupted superiors
Garp would leave the Marines but he's too stubborn and wanting to protect his friends (very Luffy and Roger like)
he's stuck in that sunk cost fallacy like others have pointed out lol
feels like he's already in too deep
Nah thatās not it
Garp said he wanted to protect the soldiers
So he's gonna do what he can
Now whether he actually did a good job is a different argument
But thats hindsight
Was watching BDA yesterday, and he presented my same issues and likes about Garp and Sengoku perfectly. That actually both are very similar just one is more overt in what he thinks
Tell me about it brother 
Why didnāt Imu kill WB, Kaido, BM and Roger?
Kaido really was cool
lookin out for all the good faith greenhorns
Both garp and sengoku have willingly turned a blind eye
Sengoku just got the memo faster
Never thought about this before but kaido is probably my fav yonko
Sengoku sees everything and pretends he sees nothing
source: ohara
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Garp distances himself from the top so he doesnt see everything
My issue with Garp is not that I think he's a bad person or that he earnestly does bad things. It's that he turns a blind eye when it suits him and that he doesn't have intention with his actions
I think Garp is supposed to be written as a polarizing character, I think Oda intentionally wants the reader thinking whether Garp was right to stay in the Marines or not
big mom better imo
Garp is probably the most conflicted person in OP
Yea thatās the whole point. His perspective can be understood, if you view it in world. But as readers with all we know, it looks like heās making the wrong decision. But thatās the beauty of it, everyone is flawed.
cause that was his first ever appearance in the Romance Dawn V2 draft
Oh shi
Garp knows that him taking lead in a charge against the top fighters allows the rank and file to save people
Harald is a cuck
I just found out about this, Rocks is a cowboys fan confirmed
Sheās great but not as cool. I sympathize with her more tho for sure
is this legit
If if itās anything except they both have varying beliefs that itās impossible to do something about the CDs cause of the powers of Imu and the elders, itās off the mark
Why isnāt this pinned lol
yup and it's why I can't get behind any "Garp sucks and is poorly written, he's a 'change from within' guy and I hate that trope" perspective, it completely ignores any and all context
@vestal mural @lofty fern Need your thoughts.
Loki is going to follow Harald's supposed footsteps and awaken and lead the Galleila in the current story, eventually.
Buggy is pseudo-Rocks currently, whether related by blood or not, in that he's rounding up a lot of the world's villains unintentionally through Cross Guild (Mihawk, Crocodile, and maybe other warlords later).
I think Loki's final war arc is to team up with Buggy.
Harald and Rocks were meant to team up, but they never actually did so - I think this is the best way to actualize what "could've been"
I actully don't think they talked a lot to begin with. It's kinda similar to how Luffy and Garp never talked a lot either. They've probably said about 100 lines of dialogue in Luffy's whole life. Garp is always gone and Dragon probably grew up with mostly his mom just as Luffy grew up with mostly Ace, Sabo, Dadan and the others. With Dragon, the two weren't super close, but there wasn't any animosity (until now).
I think that probably did mellow over the years, though Dragon and Garp still don't talk really other than when it has to do with Luffy. The Monkey men are of few words with each other at least.
That perspective is honestly just shallow, no offense to anyone. God forbid a character has a flaws and moral dilemmas and make the wrong choices sometimes in OUR opinion as god eye viewers.
My man has his own values and morals and he tries his best, but sometimes even your best isnāt good enough
I like that perspective
Its a perspective that doesnt exist
I never see anyone saying garp is poorly written
it's mainly a beef I have with Twitter YouTube comments I see, not directed at anyone here especially
I just can't understand "Garp sucks lol"
I wouldnāt say thatās impossible tbh. I just donāt know enough about Loki yet character wise to make a judgement. This whole love thing this chapter kinda threw me for a loop lol
I don't know. Let me rephrase it. In an ideal world for Rocks, he could've gotten the 2 fruits he wanted, then he would've rounded up all of the villains, while Harald rounded up the Galleila. Theoretically, this would've been enough, in his mind, to beat Imu/WG.
In actuality, literally none of those things happen.
I think for the final war, most of these things WILL happen just through the characters that their will has passed down to: Buggy/Cross Guild having the villains, Loki would have to undergo a new character arc and be the type of person willing to lead the Galleila, etc.
I just wanted to vibe check if you think this is plausible and a good idea lol
Unfortunately its a pirate story not a marine story
yeah that love thing got me waiting for official release cause im not sure i understand it
he's Marine Luffy, big surprise
Did you see the raws for the love bubble?
I used to complain that we didnt get enough of the marines perspective. I was a fool
I would have dropped a long time ago seeing how they operate

I def think buggy will play some big role. I actually even he will be friended the pirate king in some capacity
but thatās a story for another day.
But yea it IS plausible imho. Yet thereās still part of me that says history will just repeat itself lol
we could use more marine perspectives though
I think the Buggy connection is really the BB connection. BB is the one who gathered the most horrible people to join him in his plans. Loki is his equal and opposite.
What you're pointing out is the dichotomy of BB and Loki, both who carry Rocks' will. One in spirit and one in blood.
Rocks and Harald would have never teamed up which is the sad thing about it. The very thing that brought Harald and Rocks together and allowed Harald to even become friends with Rocks, was also what caused them to never be able to come together: Harald's desire and dream for his people and his responsibility to his kingdom.
But I don't think BB and Loki will team up either. I think Loki will see the difference in Rocks and BB in their very character.
I think we're gonna get the answer to Love Power before the end of the flashback
and that's very exciting
Oh brother
I will say tjis
Fanfic writers are filling in the gaps. In 20 years we'll have our own One Piece "wicked-style" musical called: The Marine š¶
Your perspective on Garp and the native hunt was that stingy too
This doesnāt change much for me lol
In an alt time its actually just how garp became a hero and has to navigate the rough times preparing the next gen
We just hate luffy and ace for not listening to garp

Flashback to the "Rocks just wants to free the slaves"
which love power? sorry i think i missed it
i didnt have a straight up error in my translation right
knowing Oda there's some allegory to a classic Japanese story about love in here
Yeah but the difference is in quality. BB genuinely has nobody strong besides him besides Kuzan. Buggy seems to be on a path where warlords are allying with him.
What I imagine is this. The moment BB meets Loki, it'll be similar to how Harald first met Rocks. But the difference is that Loki will immediately be like "you look like Rocks but you clearly aren't him!!" or something to that effect. Would be sick asf
Nah you did it perfectly imo
sickk
And...here we go again
āGarp knew they were hunting people and did nothing about it until he heard Roger was goingā
Thanks!!!
now kiss
Also say hi for granny for me
Meanwhile 90% of the time
"We should not tell garp"
"Lets not"
And then its like why doesnt garp stop it
Cuz then every1's gonna jump him and kill him
And write off his death as a tragedy. He died fighting pirates

wdym
I donāt have much to say when you favor ignoring details like Garp saying he spoke to Dragon as recently as Luffy leaving Loguetown so you can head canon that Garp and Dragon donāt talk to each other much. Youāre underestimating how much substance is between Garp and Dragon just like with Garp and the native hunt
This was the funniest one
We talked years back and you showed me a photo of your grandma š
She was so cute
Just tell her I said hi and sheās a cutie
IM BEING NICE HERE
Is this gaslighting chat
I always gaslight. But this time I really am not
I have never done this
BTW
DONT GASLIGHT ME
So it is
Well
Showing people your grandma would be nuts
Somehow on brand though
Turned out exactly as I thought actually, It's our perspectives that are different. Nothing Garp did here changed anything about how I thought of him or what I expected of him. I found out he didn't know about the slave hunts (mostly because he can't put together context clues) but that doesn't change anything about how I think about him throughout his years of service afterwards. His has always had his reasons, but that doesn't absolve him of his guilt. And that's the complexity of it. Garp is a good man, in a broken system that turns a blind eye where he has to, and does what he has to try to do the good he thinks he can do.
As for Luffy and Dragon and Garp talking, there's nothing to confirm or deny anything but we've seen that Garp is an absent parent type and he doesn't talk that often with Luffy simply from the fact that their not around each other that often. Probably the same with Dragon. And we've never heard of Dragon talking with Garp about anything other than something that has to do with Luffy.
yappacino
Sounds like they donāt talk much fs
Him living with luffy and being there for him would've put luffy's life in danger
WG would've used luffy to lure dragon into a trap
Like they did with rocks and teach
Buffy's warlords aren't going to be Rocks' group though. While Rocks' fighters are clearly stronger, their use in Rocks's ultimate battle will be the same. Rocks gathered all of those people together and when the time came almost all of them weren't even there and most\ of the ones that were, were there by accident
i never said live with him... he should've atleast visited him once...
Oh mb
like he was there when Sabo "died"
This seems like the kind of thing you can do when youāre barely around, now that Iām thinking about it
I tied you to a balloon and watched you fly lmao
Man i should rewatch this episode it was pretty funny
he will not die when he falls anyway
he's immune to fall damage

How does what I said challenge what you said? They don't talk much doesn't mean they don't talk at all. That line about Luffy in Loguetown is our only proof that the two talk at all. I'm talking about frequency and you're talking about recency.
No wonder Luffy has no fear now
In Luffy's 17 years, how much would you say Garp's around?
like... he actually never feared falling from heights
he did the falling from high distance entrance multiple times already
Just like when you insisted that no marines being present on me valley till pirates showed up meant nothing, Iām sure these details mean nothing
We are meant to extrapolate broader information from every bit we get
How much has Zoro been around for?
Now tell me how meaningful their relationship is
Garp was a consistent presence till Luffy became a pirate
U know whats funny
Rocks: im gonna continue to rally the rogues of the world
Literally all of em: BYE
Just like a military father irl lmao
Rocks said vohhhhhhh (':
What? I never insisted that. I was the one that said they were there and you were the one insisting they weren't. And I was right. They were there before the pirates were there
My conclusion was right, which is that it was a sign that the navy was kept in the dark about the native hunts
You insisted they werenāt, including Garp
When we saw the incident we found out that was exactly true, the CDs hide that they hunt people
Which we also know, not everyone was. Some marines knew exactly what was happening and some didn't
I wonder how they select their marines to go to the hunting
More importantly, that Garp didnt know
"Oh this guy has a tendency to shoot innocents. He's good"
They probably just kill them
Nice, he knows now, and? What does that have to do with Dragon and Garp talking?
That you read too little into things
Thatās all I have left to say really
Broš
I'm not talking about Zoro, I'm talking about Garp and how often they talk. I'm not talking about their relationship or consistency. I'm talking about frequency. Why do you keep getting off topic?
The point Iām making is that frequency is not indicative of substance
Oh *I * read too little into thing? Really? That's a shock
You tried to argue that Garp not being around for much of luffys 17 years means anything for the substance in their relationship
That was never what I was getting at
Zoro hasnt been around for much of it either
Good morning
You said dragon and Garp werenāt super close
Your only indication of that is that Garp wouldnāt be around often
You equate frequency with substance
So I bring up Zoro and Luffy
I don't think Luffy and Garp are super close, not like say Ace or Sabo or Makino, but I don't think it doesn't have any substance. With Dragon, I think Dragon's hate mellowed, though he currently is so consumed in his own life and he really has nothing to say to his father other than when it comes to things about Luffy.
Specifically because you challenged with āhow much of luffys 17 years has Garp been aroundā
Zoro is an example of low frequency, high substance
So the conclusion, obviously, is that low frequency for Garp doesnāt necessarily mean low substance
lol okay
I don't think they were, but since we don't have any backstory for them other than Garp's past behaviour, its a theory currently.
yes i read the chapter because i wont be able to read the official this sunday
I think you and I just read differing perspectives from the same information. You think of them as close and I think of them as familial if not super close
Iām good
Good
anyone with similar idea can correct me
its nika and u 1st iteration
davy and mu 2nd iteration
joyboy and imu 3rd iteration
or its nika then joyboy then davy?
and also isnt the current imu should be 4th iteration with luffy
then nika would be paired with {No name} then??
if so is it
nika and {no name}
joyboy and u
davy and mu
and lastly luffy with imu
i really want my imu to be a spellcaster using ink to alter reality but a sun god nika shadow i am you is kinda better idea....
1st world is Nika and Imu, 2nd world is Joyboy, Davy, Imu, 3rd world is Luffy/Blackbeard/Imu
3rd world is the current day
my imu 
Well, Davy Jones was probably the king during the Ancient Kingdom times that fought with Joyboy
So no
i dont think imu was there in the first world
Iām pretty sure Imu was always there
imu is exclusive to second and third imo
every good manga shold hav decent villain, im claming first kekW
I would imagine joyboy was against both davy jones and imu
Itāll be cool to see what their dynamic was
If Oda wants to keep things more rigid with the parallels, yeah they probably will have been enemies. Iād like to see something different.
I could see them being like harald and rocks. friends but opposing ideals and views which prevented them from working together leading to a loss
The "Kay" from Garp is still cracking me up
the Gunko fit
Thatās not peak lol
God I love him so much
Big moment for harald.
Why is it not peak
So is there a particular reason why we got a Wano color spread in the middle of Elbaf or did Oda just feel like it?
He just wanted an excuse to draw Yamato
at this point I think oda just likes drawing yamato
š¢
Can we kill yamato 
the whole Yamato cover story was an excuse
20 more chapters of Ogre Child Yamato's Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage coming right up
Noooo
Yeah
The first line of the second stanza is about Imu imo
those color spreads take a lot of time
two eyecolor nami, she is awakening
Just realised ur pfp is baby shanks now š
Itās a request
What a good chapter man
Oh cool
If yamato is eating the next time she shows up ill be convinced its a bit
I wonder why Oda is showing a character from a place that was starved by his father and who was also starved by that father eating all the time
i never knew this was Laws actual canon hair color from Oda.. damn you toei lol
Toei did it better tbh
Toei said he would have too much drip if they gave him purple hair like Oda lol
disagree
imagine they change loki or rocks hair color lmao
Loki W, Rocksā¦please
imagine if rocks is loki's real father
I refuse to acknowledge blue haired Law, to me it's as cursed as orange Kuma
Law does look good in purple
La doesnāt look good in anything
'Tis the effects of purple
Juuuuuust to be sure, anybody here notice that Imu called itself Mu and read the kanji before they called Imu? , and how does you eliminate kanji so it lead to u , where do you cut it?
1164 in case u wondering
i can't read Japanese 
start learning them >_<
when I get to the point I can travel to japan
I really doubt thats a thing
Imu always refers to themself as Mu
Imu im u
mu can also be empty
Much more likely to be Imu = Umi = Sea tbh
Yeah no way that was an accident
this is imu ć¤ć , this is the reverse ć 㤠... feel free to google it
ęµ· this is umi
okay acceptable
I donāt have Japan google translate do it for me
ideas are freedom, freedom are king
This is also the katakana that make up the kanji for Buddha
ä»
yeah enlightenment person or person with secret
in other word magician
lol
spellcaster umi WOOOOOOOO
i dies on this hill alone
no i have not
Broooooo wtf this is a real panel
Harald be getting the realisation 24 hrs late
š š°ļø
Harald is just living with the regret of sending his friend to his death
true
Fr man, the not a friend believers are in the mud rn
he might have spent some years as one tho
hence why sommers said harald betrayed them
So glue
Lowkey
Sorry
They not from the slums
But
They broke out of mariejois together
Jesus Christ
I mean the Crosser
This is why some of yall miss with your theories
me?

Heās from the suburbs
He doesnāt get it
They canāt relate
yes i am not from the slum
somebody else crossed it too
(Im not from the slums either im joking anyway)
You can relate
your pfp hurts me more than what you said
Slumdog Millionaire?
that penguin isnt from madagascar is it
Exactly
No that Penguin was from Toy Story
I don't intend to, u seen how (in)active I am. Also you are just plain wrong.
what u describe that's more like the friend who appears when they need some money cause they are down bad type of friendship not whatever was between Harald and Rocks
You need to choose 2 characters now
So we know now those are Shamrock Maffey and Sommers?
I have not even read the chapter, I should probably do that now.
His head is so funny
The one on the right is garling
Get out of here man
On the far right? Yeah
One rich kid and one ghetto, each went to rob a liquid store and get caught together once. Since then, they are homies
y'all thirsty af for spoilers and what not, do not blame me
No youāre filling in your own headcanon , I didnāt say it like that , you did
Here
THE MANGA IS GLOWING 
We need a new top tier feat
you literally described it exactly like that, out of slums, one got out typa thing come on now Earl š
they both were doing fine
so this was not that situation in any case
Thatās lightning
Guys Earl just made a comparison its not that deep
Youāre talking about a friend asking to borrow money , fuck out of here lmao
Stop making my brilliant point look worse
mihawk ; "not by choice only by blood"
Thatās not the shit I described , typical rage baiter
you sound like that type of friend, nasty ass mf.
when did you guys start to read the manga cuz the anime was too slow for u?
See youāre just too young to get it I think
You need more life experience
what about my money doe
is this the transactional lens through which you view those two fr ?
reallyyy ?
they had a good proper thing going bruh, and that other panel just shows how bad the realization hit for Harald imo
indeed
Ig i was partially right with this 
Dragon did the right thing
something ive been wondering about that i dont quite get yet, idk if ive missed something obvious
but why is the government adamant about declining elbaphs membership?

Look for a cure not a bandaid
WG want to use them, the Navy are hesitant because of them being powerhouses
wrong reply lol

yes, it was a debate too between kong sengoku & garp & tsuru
the average giants were seen as barbaric in that time
Yeah
were they talking about the fleet admiral or the wg?
Stop projecting things I havenāt even said , rage baiter
Youāre just too young man
how old are you earl
what do you think of Garp this chapter rokaya
no, the giants in general
34
lie or real
isnt the conversation about how they want the giants to join, but the higher ups wont let them
and the "violence" reasoning is coming from above
because giants are allowed in the navy, but arent allowed in the government
that answers your question about why they were being adamant tho
Hathor is like a baby fetus compared to me
yeah but thats a lie isnt it?
youāre still not answering my question, but you can exercise ur fifth amandment
its not
historically speaking, the giants were really savages
imu is trying to bring the giants to his side and harald is delivering himself on a silver platter
it makes sense why everybody was adamant on accepting giants
I mean my stance overall hasnāt changed. If anything itās been reinforced a few chapters back when he says the reason heāll continue to stay with the marines is to protect other marines
They're speaking from the Navy perspective
But yeah they were told shit by higher ups too
i hate kong so much, heās just playing politics
sybau and calm down bruh, also let me read the chapter first, I think it's even worse than I imagined cause that panel alone indicates Harald was deeply invested, I think there were some fake panels here and there too. Something about Harald pleading to Imu saying let me atone for my sins etc .. š
my point is this tho
the higher ups, we know, are the gorosei
and they dont care about any of the stuff in that top panel,
i just realize youāre also using samura pfp
Tbf Kong is just an Admiral atp, higher up can simply be Fleet Admiral
ok but we know the fleet admiral is a puppet for the gorosei
ahh
It would be easy to make elbaf a member nation so all this jazz is really about molding harald into a puppet
i'm so curious if we'll get to see the other former admirals from kong's admiral era
youāre highlighting the hypocrisy
and the gorosei directly say that they will only let him in on the condition he kills rocks
also whatever happened to Imu being the central char etc cause of the chapter numbering, I remember a few mfs say 66 was supposed to signify Imu
š¹
yeah this is waht im assuming, but im still not seeing the whole picture
they want him to be desperate? or they want him to attack? or they want the giants to be violent again?
youāre questioning why does imu playing the long game whereas harald is offering himself on silver platter
right?
i guess, im just not seeing the functionality behind it
its cool Oda remembers that Sengoku isnt a good guy
i mean in the end, imu sent shamrock & gunko to make giants a puppet nation anyway
garp doesnt tho lul
ok but in present time, the holy knights are made at harald for something
Oda double downing after seeing everyone call Sengoku every name under the sun
Didnt have a puppet leader to install
well the island did just kinda crumble and sink in to the sea for some reason. could've been imu
He supposedly "betrayed" them, presumably by dying
i'll just make it a screenshot so it takes up less space
but to your point, harald was there and he offered himself. Why didnt Imu just take it?
pretty much my point, yeah
@stone terrace
is Oda foreshadowing Enel here ..
and i can see the line of thought that
- deny him to make him more desperate and thus easier to control
In Gen 1 theres also that admiral Xebec killed I think
or even before him
oh yeah
Yeah idk there is a 24 year gap between now and when he died
Oda give us that SBS man
I really wonder who the fleet admiral was here
I want that generation lore
Doesnt makes sense still. Imu didnt need consent from Rocks, he was fully against him but he can control him anyway
you know what i mean
why isn't he a good guy in particular?
control like a government leader, rather than a domi reversi
I think what Imu want is, he want elbaph giants are under control at their own will
yes exactly
Im starting to think harald mightve been given a checklist of things to do before being granted membership
but really push harald towards being a pacifist
Which probably were not very good
Because hes ready to ignore how bad the WG is and continues following orders
heās like akainu
military
what did you expect him to do? like do you think if he would order the whole marine under him to turn against the WG / CD they would even listen?
Garp, Sengoku to Marines is what Kyojuro was to Orochi
Sengoku is an asshat but tbf what hes saying is what garp is doing too
This is whats most interesting tbh...
Harald wanted Elbaf to be about peace & trading etc but seemingly Imu & the WG were okay with that even though they want their power/strength? Ig its because when the time comes they can just be Domi'd & controlled that way?
Its just unspoken
Every time you go to marineford you pass by sabaody which has the human auction hall
But its not your business
No, hes just not a good guy
yeah its weird right? i cant quite figure it out, but there is still a lot of story to come
in the present, they seem mad at harald for cultivating peace tho, which is what i find strange
i am glad we had a little of rocks this chapter
I think they're mad that he died/was killed
wasn't ready to say goodbye just yet
With Harald still alive they have a King that all of Elbaf will listen to, no matter what
not bad either to me at least. from what I saw MF could have turned out way worse when he had a switch of feelings and choose a radical way to get all the pirates out
Garp :
Yeah when he made that switch I felt like Oda just wanted him to portray as a good guy now
Loki sharing some cool serene moments in this chapter with Rocks was a nice touch.
fair enough
maybe the deal was like
Imu: OK harald youāre in, but just let the giants be warriors. Weāll allow some trades, but Donāt make them ALL about peace & trade.
Harald: OK bro
also Harald: (secretly build order and peace in elbaph)
It's calming to see Loki be amazed with plans of becoming King of the world and the idea of Harald Rocks teaming up, also whatever did Rocks mean about Harald being the only one with the power to wake up the galley la giants 
maybe, but they were really pushing him towards peace
"we cant let you join because giants are too violent and scary"
"we will only let you join if you kill rocks for us"
theory:
every D. dies with a smile but we didnt see Xebec smiling while he died that means hes still alive somewhere and is the black ship man, he'll die smiling in the final war
I think that line about the Galley La giants is moreso because Harald is King, he's the only one who can really order them to do anything
those two sentences arent about peace
-
is about protecting marineās image and culture fit
-
Its about imu personally knows rocks is a problem
@digital spear rate my theory
peak father - son interaction ngl.
people can forget with his chill vibe these days
this was a great chapter for rocks
Good theory
(atp 90% of the Ds who died werent smiling Oda hates that theory)
He comes off smarter than Luffy based on this
Yeah he's not a meathead clearly
his relationship with loki was cute
wait really?
Why I like Garp even more
bcs heās a good person
unlike sengoku or kong
Hey leave Kong alone
fuck kong
what makes you think that?
Kong and sengoku two bitches of the same coin
!kong
You sound mad

Kong is just another demon minion
exactly
kong didnt even do anything yet bruh
He said hed become a slave this chapter but 24 years pass and elbaf still isnt part of the wg
He'll be the final boss against sword
thats exactly why he is problematic
ok wait i think i have figured it out, but i still think there is more to it
- reject all claims no matter what, so he becomes desperate
- test his loyalty (kill your friends rocks) and set the bar for how much he needs to sacrifice to join the wg
i do also think there is something tied to this panel though, that may not be related to this
he authorized ohara and the killing of pregnant women and children to cut roger's bloodline
bro had all the power to do something
Yeah like
Cobra is confirmed as D. and doesnt die smiling
Saul died smiling but is confirmed he didnt actually die
Instead Clover who is confirmed as D. really died but not smiling
And now Xebec neither atp the only ones who did are Roger and Ace
kong a bitch
that does make sense, I did already think the galley la giants could be woken up and BB might be trying to do that exactly #also-manga message with boa's df, if they were petrified, imo it's weird and super crazy if Boa's df has more to it than we realize rn.
his death was less grandiose from what I expected but it works
This kind of just reiterates what I was thinking about Garp is willing to stick around so long as the WG is keeping the world relatively bloodless
hes not dead yet š£ļø
I forgot if Rouge died smiling
yeah he didn't make a big statement like roger or wb but i liked it nonetheless
That is kinda funny
We see harald say i'll be a slave if thats what it takes to get peace
Meanwhile back in the present
HARALD FUCKED IT ALL UP
It's beyond that. He lives according to his own principles and he's not naive either
only time can tell, but i do think its 100% will be included in the story
damn i see, thank you for the info, i will adjust my theory
HARALD IS A BUM
Sengoku and Kong they aren't necessarily bad guys but they're willing to overlook more and enforce more of the shit they're told
boy easy on harald
I didnāt really understand sengoku maybe the official will help
Imagine if this was some 1000 iq gigabrain play by Harald
Say he'll be a slave
Get invited inside WG turf
Set up shit in elbaf
Dies but gets called a failure by WG for screwing things up
bro messed up everything just to end up sucking upto a bunch of these guys -> 
I got his conclusion but not his preface
??????????? one of them mfs authorized a genocide and the killing of pregnant women and children
what are we doing here bro
No worries Oda is simply a hack. Xebec being the man marked by flames is a common theory anyway
sadly we all know Harald isnāt that smart whereās heās thinking that far ahead lol
yall called rocks evil for stabbing loki
nah F Harald bruh, why did he not have this realization a moment earlier, like he could have put an end to the wg system for good. š
I'll be honest with you, you need some guys like that in a state
Who'll just kill the enemy
Akainu is the best fleet admiral, hes such a saint compared to kong and sengoku
hey now, not true
they both did, probably multiple times each
And not think twice about it
being ignorant is already put you as a bad guy my friend
it looks like whatever happened made him change his mind on working with the WG
yes he is lol
Im feeling the gorosei used haralds muscle
there's no Oharans around, but I am sure they'd disagree.
we should stop agreeing with whatever oda draws atp, seems like hes on some weird agenda
Can anyone explain to me wtf sengoku was yapping about
Which is the opposite of what he should be doing
bro killed an evacuation ship for the love of the game
lets chill out
I doubt Kong felt particularly good about it either
Boa DF angle is interesting but if we take what she said about the next user being unable to release anyone stoned as fact, it doesn't really work that well
Obviously she could have very easily been lying just to try save her life but i always say within lies there are some truths
I think it was, thats why Harald was in Mariejois again, and now its not anymore
good useful marines pulling up on the enemy (innocent pregnant women, newborn babies and civillians who lived near researchers)
but that makes him a bad guy
based. there were only bitches boarding that ship
Harald : ā I want Elbaf as part of the WG so it can change how the world views giants
CDs start using giants to do their dirty work and destroy stuff around the world
The world : Giants are still horrible
part of life
lowkey you right
A bunch of pregnant women are the enemy ?
first time i see musicfactor ragebait
ABSOLUTE ASS 





bro what is this mf doing ??????????????? @wraith mantle
Well nika definitely has some wukongy elements to it i think
marines are so morally grey guys š¤Ŗ
i cant defend bro but please go easy on the slander š
i thought bogard was doing the wojak point for a sec
you guys dont get Harald or how this moment came to be
that aint bogard lol
i thought distinct fedora-wearing wg agent was doing the wojak point for a sec
I wonder how much those horns would sell for
That guy really feels like a peculiar design maybe he was admiral with Sengoku later
idk the world economic journal said it was an innocent battleship
the long arm tribe will make a medicine out of it
there we go, the third admiral of sengoku's generation
I bet you could turn them into weapons
I think garp and sengoku should fight in current time
WG wears black costume
Sword made from Haralds horns & shit
We saw a marine battleship blow up civs too
Its no difference really
Youre comparing the CIA to the army
fair
harald 5 mins after his friend got killed by the wg:
both are assholes
if she's honest that is or even knows if that's hwo the df works, what are the chances she tested her theory out with someone / something petrified by previous user of the df y'know. Also giants are just built diff but idk if biologically they can be frozen and stay alive like that. It has to be something more tricky, BB going there has some significance beyond just grabbing yet another cool df.
ok mb let me fix it
they both suck
this ain't even slander but what on Earth is he smoking to show up next to Imu and offering to become a slave. He's just next level when it comes to bending over backwards š idk what's his next move, it's so unpredictable af.
this one doesnt actually need any people in the picture
both are tools for the corrupted system
Prison ship (Transporting slaves)
Im not blind lol
yeah, i just get too many ppl that say the WG and the marines are totally separate and the marines are the good guys
we do, it's still ass cause Imu / wg royalty dgaf. u think they care about humans lives while they just hosted a native hunt etc.
same shit different days
So their convo could act like foreshadow to it
I see
Rocks fans when morally complex character
do you actually not get the harald thing?
Itās hathor of course not
funny because sun wukong would be son goku in japanese... its the same kanji used so... it would be Luffy with Monkey Monkey Fruit Model: Son Goku...
you know what i think youāre right, bro is too young
lol Luffy turning into Son Goku for a power up would be funny & toxic
hey everyone what did we think of the chapter :D
bruh
I feel like theyve been through too much shit together, theyre from the same cloth, unless Sengoku still doesnt go against the WG and goes in Garps way
Say what you will about the way Harald pulled his horns out, i'm just glad it wasn't because Ida died
donāt worry itās happening soon
isnt ida still alive?
Ida is Mosa theory comes up?
it was pretty good, what about you Cunk? Did you like it?
For now
You shut your mouth
She's still gonna brutally die of course
in the present have we seen her i mean?
lol Eris & Ida aināt got much longer
Idaās bar is there, her bar employee is there, her son hajrudin is there,
but Ida herself isnt there
Eris death will be in Blackbeards own flashback I think
I think hes beyond help
ida with a big fake beard?
How can you reflect on your career
yeah this makes the most sense
So far only Ida knows how to comfort Loki
And possibly think like this
Is he just stupid
https://x.com/seanynr/status/1991495135922946296?s=20 new monster trio
Oda is a villian imo
byebye jinbei
mosa has a beard and mosa just means hairy person im pretty sure
this is diabolical
Eris couldāve died over a decade later after god valley
āzoro is a mixture of xebec and roger ā lmao one piece theorists/twitter users just be saying anything
Maybe hes like "the one good thing we did bites us back in the ass too"
tbh its a reaction to the death of T-Bone
dude was a good dude
no, the den den mushi has a beard bcs its a winter type creature
it doesnt always equal to mosa has a beard
what about the translation for mosa?
all of them have one thing in common
Luffy is a mixture of his dad and his mom
Ultra special winter type & voice activated pickup
I cannot wait for the next chapter, Harald reveals to his family and giants it's was all a ruse to gain favor with wg for the time being etc ..
no pronouns yet, they all being woke about it
so it was not that he is this naive
Youāre right , the last part you said would be the only way , but even then sengoku feels too checked out atp lol
so far mosa is called shaggy
Itās unknown
lowkey an indirect mixture of his grandma and grandpa too
man i can barely guess 1 confidently this will be tough
no one knows
sheās nowhere to be seen in the present
not pronouns lol, mosa means shaggy (as in someone with a big beard)
The snail is hairy because it's cold resistant
I'm curious what he'll do. I don't think it's a guarantee that he'll turn
like when shit starts crumbling down around him
everything around ida is alive except we have not seen ida
It doesn't necessarily mean whoever Mosa is is hairy
maybe Ida dies the same day Harald dies .. maybe he killed her lol nah that might be too tragic
You right lmao
hajrudin, her bar, her employee, etc are all intact
Gunko has blue hair and pronouns
you think he'll stay with the WG til the end?
Shaggy is just long, unkempt hair
i mean i think its easy to ask where ida is, just ask hajrudin
Sengoku will probably defect :d
the ideal barista
he aināt got the balls
I think garp vs sengoku would be a great fight
to defect
I don't know tbh. I feel like some of them gotta die lol
ida is imu 
See them both go all out (as geezers sadly)
Just narratively
We just got that this chapter
I dont think Oda is killing people
he killed t bone
5hp garp 
Sengoku and T Bone aint comparable lol
T Bone was goated
Mosa is Neptune or Shirahoshi 
Mosa is Queen Otohime 
I think Sengoku is on his way to the GS Hospital where Sword is at
unfortunate that T-Bone died while doing the very thing he always did
to ask them about Garp ?
you act like you live in the world of one piece and actually think Harald is ass without appreciating the writing Oda did to make this complex character
character flaws doesnāt mean ass, itās fine to hate Haraldās actions if someone were to do it irl but in this fictional story we see exactly how he came to be like this , immense guilt over rocks combined with the burden of his own peopleās history
Mosa is Fukaboshi Ryuboshi or Manboshi 
I do think he's gonna go there, i think currently he's en route to the SWORD guys & will run into Law on the way & will convince them to do another rescue OP for Garp
Iām surprised you still remember them
I complete forget they all exist
only Shirahoshi lives
Im a true fan
Pudding messed up my memories
sword is not doing a rescue op for garp, it wouldnt make sense imo
Sengoku is unfortunately a marine top tier
something like that
I still forget that Pudding is a prisoner for BB rn :d
i did like the whole smoker is on his way to see SWORD and smoker and kuzan have something cooking together since punk hazard
They just captured garp, youre like his equal at best
Idk if sword is still at the hospital
It'll end up into MF 2.0 because idt Luffy leaves Garp there either, not after losing Ace & now having the power to save Garp
Theyre gonna take you and have two high value targets now š
Sengoku wasnt afraid playing dirty, thats why he ascended to Fleet Admiral
Garp morale would never
He definitely shouldnāt go alone if he does lol
if luffy gets time for that tho, hes kinda preoccupied
Saving garp is a mission that requires two admirals minimum
I still question what Kuzanās endgame is here, since it looks inevitable that heāll prob turncoat and not inevitably clash with Luffy and friends, at least at the moment :d
would he have a choice ? asking beat up and bruised sword members to go again this soon would be insane & Akainu isnāt gonna let any marines go lol
Could also depend on timing , most of bb pirates could leave the island
well if he brings tsuru and the improved koby and fujitora with the same other people that got there... they can do it if BB isn't there again
And leave 2
Bb wont even leave pudding alone i doubt hes leaving garp
Kuzan's role is being a punching bag for Koby and then betraying Blackbeard and dying for the obligatory Rocks killing an admiral parallel
yeah i see no reason for him to not take Garp .. even if he goes after the ancient weapons due to caribou , he would take garp with him like he did pudding
Saving Garp is an 3 Admiral + HIMKAINU Mission
He only took pudding on a boat because it was on the way from WCI , when did he take her after hachniosu?
Kuzan just wants to drink.....
Let my man have some funš
she was still in hachinosu in chapter 1126
This doesnāt account for twists but I like the backbone
it wasnāt lol only kuzan & augur went to whole cake and that was during. wano .. we saw that Kuzan was already back at hachinosu and Augur was now with BB and this was during egghead
Before that when she was on a ship itās cause they got her from WCI
never forget: sengoku couldnt nullify luffys devil fruit bcus he doesnt have haki
ah yeah
so a lot of time passed from when they took pudding and when they fought Law
The cover stories arenāt perfectly lined up with current events time
just send sengoku & tsuru + fujitora
nah , it's cause he didn't use Haki š
enel took years to fly to the moon, hes never coming back š
we know that itās during wano cause big mom forces are gone to wano when they invade and germa and caesar is still captured by big mom
He needed like a few weeks chill
you see he made him bleed? that shouldn't happen if its a normal punch by a big dude to rubber tbh
tsuru is still great btw
how many chapters of the flashback do you guys think we have left?
not even a character flaw, he's just deeply thinks about the ingrained perceptions about giants and how he can break those norms, also yeah I do understand why he does such a thing.
3
one more chapter and it's as long as Oden's
Tsuru would be Admiral level if the author wasnt misogynist
She might be weak af
2
whats the general consensus on oden?
2 is too little I feel like
she wants you think so
this is my guess too
wash wash no mi is OP
At least 3
you make people good
There's a lot to cover
we need to get back to what happened with Harald in the castle that day
Tsuru ate the your goat is washed df
his devil fruit , gives him shock wave kinda ability .
could be haki though š
is it as soon as he arrives, wait a sec ..
Harald dies in 2 chapters and 1 more of post incident Loki
How many chapters of flashback so far? is it already longer than Odenās?
was Rogerās strongest subordinate .. I waited to see prime rayleigh in action and wasnāt convinced
I thought he did that in like a couple days
this guy lmaoo Imu implanted the mark on him while he was waffling about becoming a slave for him
he's like okay
the chances is she is not... Oda really loves his strong trios
Yeah idk what Connor is on
like its always 3 strong people that defines something
š¤
its his thing
rayleigh has still got a fight on god valley that we will get flashbacks to later when gaban explains how to hurt the god knights š
We need more women upholding oppressive systems š
Is the moon really close to blue planet or is the arc maxim really fast
So glue
isnt that too little penny? You dont think we'll see more of Elbaph before his death? Like Saul going to Elbaph
Big mom
Hathor doesn't understand Harald didn't literally pull up to Imu
No
Sheās not really part of āthe systemā
Oda doesn't care
14.5, one more chapter and it's as long as Oden's
that's why thinking Tsuru isn't atleast stronger than a normal VA or atleast lower end of Admirals is kinda dumb
lol i felt Oden was stronger before this flashback because of how much glaze Oda gave him , this flashback seeing prime rayleigh just convinced me even more lol
but honestly, putting that much fear into kaido is a crazy feat
Pirates and revos go against said system
She has her own oppressive system
Bro
Tsuru is the sakura of the group
Do twitter embeds not work anymore
I mean that in the worst way possible
As a yonko she was part of the Three Powers 
Sakura was strong
SHE IS THE SYSTEM
i dont think there is a significant gap between rayleigh gaban and oden tho
oh yeah nah i donāt think itās a huge gap

LOL what makes you say that
old man gaban was putting the fear of god into luffy + zoro lmao
and rayleigh had bb shivering his timbers
Tsuru was the Old Gen Tashigi ?šš¤·š¾āāļø
Just look at how the other Rocks pirates and holy knights were treated
that's not the same thing tho, they werent the main focus
And neither is Saul
lmao
Ray and gab didnt get to do anything really
Even tsuru's fruit is lame
Ray sent sommers flying but like... expected lol
nah people NEED to listen to me on this, ray and gab had a fight offscreen in the latest chapter
you know... Roger probably told them how they hurt Domi Rocks... its basically the same thing right?
I really hope we get some type of mini arc with Sword to see how they answer to the VP message and the corruption of the government
or at least question it
Thatās the point
i donāt think Luffy & Zoro were ever really worried about Gaban & you right Ray did scare Teach but Ray also said he stood no chance vs Teach lol Bepo also scared Teach lol
the type of stuff we saw with Garp and Sengoku this chapter
I just think Oden giving Kaido PTSD for the rest of his life is more impressive than all that
Do you even know what the system is
Big mom isnāt part of the world government
have you seen how she runs her own government?
she literally has her own kingdom

if that's not an opressive system... idk what is
LITERALLY CONTROLLING AND TAKING SOULS THAT FEARS HER

im gonna drop some justification for why im so confident in this
- roger tosses his coat and strawhat to the side before fighting domi rocks (this is really early in the fight)
- roger and garp both snoozing next to rocks
- off-screen stabbing noise/blood -> immediate cut to gab and ray running with garp and roger
- ray has the hat and the sword while carrying him (he got the hat + the sword + roger right in front of the holy knights? who arent chasing them?)
he also pauses before answering. this could be out of respect, but i feel like its more likely that he saw something that was hard to explain in that moment
Again, not part of the wg
ROCKS DID NOT DIE THIS CHAPTER, RAY AND GAB HAD A DOPE OFFSCREEN FIGHT
that's why i said SHE IS THE SYSTEM
Which was what my original point was
well rocks did die this chapter when god valley sunk but he didnt get stabbed by garling
need to keep garlings stocks in the dirt
Sheās got her own little mini system, but I was talking about the much larger one here
Please and thank you
when its revealed that garling couldnt even kill 0hp rocks, link my post bcus i called it
lol even if thatās revealed would it even change anything .. his stocks are already in the mud , canāt get any worst
@hazy turret hello my beloved
Random thought
If OP was written by fans
How would this chapter turn out
Rocks last words would be like "roger....garp...harald....eris...teach. I leave my will to you"
Garling: you were a problem but now you're weak enough for me to end you
gaban gonna shave his goofy hair off using special haki so it doesnt regen
tbh he's either dead by that stab... or by the island sinking... either way he's dead
