the villains' operations ALWAYS fail because there's an inherent flaw in them
that's what makes them villains
I would not mind information surviving from Ohara if it was due to something clever by the Oharans
Within the story, they are not incompetent. They held up for 800 years.
But there’s always a breaking moment. This is where they start doing more mistakes due to their flaws.
it HAS to backfire at some point
that undermines it
the fact that the oharans didn't need to do that
Throwing them in the lake is clever still
it's purely the result of the process imu and the elders decided for themselves to follow
it emphasizes that their methods are flawed
no external movement was needed
it failed simply because it was bound to
It's actually funny. I think that tekking is the only one who picked up on the inconsistency of the timeline with Fisher tiger, though I'm sure library of ohara will pick it up too.
The best they could've done in those circumstances atleast
Oh yea Emet is actually purple
Idk if that was a thing before
if it failed because the oharans just outsmarted them, it doesn't convey as well that their methods are inherently flawed
because an operation can be good and another can just be better
If we’ve gotten Emet’s color scheme
this shows it's necessarily flawed
its the best... like they are already on fire and will likely all die... all they can do is hope that that will save something
You can flip it around and say praise the ingenuity of the Oharans and go with "if there's a will, there is a way"
From the way that shamrock talks about it, I think it actually happened while he was with them. Because he seems to know that it was a wound that needed to be healed pretty soon and it was very recent. It hasn't even fully scabbed over yet
Well, I'm talking about just writing another scenario in which the Oharans were too clever for the WG
i think that's less important than showing that these guys are wretched and rotten
the government isn't bad because the oharans are better
I argued specifically in comparison with the other fuckup that involves Ohara tho
the government is bad because they are bad
making it a cause and effect with the scholars doesn't convey that
damn that’s even more interesting .. Shanks as a god blade encountering a WB pirate .. I wonder since Shanks was god blade like Harald , was he also sent out to deal with pirates
regardless of what the scholars did, their methods failed
that communicates that their constitution is flawed all on its own
basically the Holy Knights existence doesnt change much about the Ohara mistake but it does for the Fisher Tiger one
that's how i read it... Shamrock is very concerned and it feels like he knows directly when Shanks received the wound...
I'm thinking what probably happened was that the holy knights went a mission and it involved the WhiteBeard pirates and something happened between Blackbeard and Shanks during that mission. While that was the first time that Harold had met Shanks as a god blade, it obviously wasn't his first day in the holy Land. He'd been there for a while. And that wound was pretty fresh cuz it was still bandaged and only the slightest hit from Fisher tiger caused it to start bleeding again. This would suggest that it's only been a few days at most. It's a scar but it's not a deep wound.
It’s called Shangara in the official as well
Obviously connected to Shandora
The theory that the names of the WG locations are just altered names of things could be true
Marie Geoise - Merry Joy
Impel Down - Empire Dawn
Shangara - Shandora
I think they just sound similar. They're not connected
Obviously connected
Uh huh, are tomatoes and potatoes connected simply because they sound similar?

Shangara (シャンドラ)
Shandora (シャンガラ)
no but tomatoes and tomatoes are
God’s Gaurds of Skypeia
Yes theyre food
God Knights of Holy Land
Yes, they sound similar. All katakana tells you is how they sound
Tomatoes and potatoes are Solanaceae, Shangara and Shandora are places associated with god
Yep
I do think there’s some connection there but idk
There is
U can clearly see the green
bro go save your little sister & stop watching TV lol
HPQ you genuinely made me realize Tomatoes and Potatoes are pretty similar lol
Lesson: dont always dismiss One Piece theories! They are fun!
I wonder what's the common root there
duuuude Joyboy’s voice in the anime
@grand flower you’re cooked my guy
it’s not Luffy’s voice
it's luffy's va from the ova and still sounds like an aged luffy now
Well theyre part of feet which are on the ground and Tomatoes and Potatoes grow on the ground
W Quentin...
Kata is aura farming
Emeth said Luffy looks just like Joyboy, Joyboy got a Luffy VA .. y’all better prepare yourselves for the obvious … Monkey Ds being descendants of joyboy
The caesar incident did so much damage to his reputation
shandora bell has engravings of a monkey wearing a straw hat
luffy has always been joy boy
Luffy looks like Roger too. Not buying it
yoo it’s Luffy VA from the OVA? That’s pretty cool
but nah it doesn’t sound like Luffy at all
yup. now apologoze
Caesar is simply admiral level, it's not a Kata L
luffy and joy boy share a va
that's now a fact
i know we want a big twist for someone else to be joyboy descendants lol but this could be another case of the obvious choice being the right choice … Luffy , Dragon & Garp are descendants of Joyboy
Don’t even need the anime to know it’s cooked
Luffy is obv admiral level since the start of the timeskip then
Kata is father before a TV type of aurafarming. He comes into the living room while youre watching TV, stands there with folded arms, you dont really know if hes dismissive of what youre watching or not, and then he leaves
no they do not lmao
Kata is aurafarming because he knows he's just gonna be a free fruit if he tries to save Pudding
Caesar went easy on him
Yes they do
Yeah or Caesar just became stronger
it’s not Tanaka man
I think
that is the real fact
Abysmal contract
okay and it’s not Mayumi Tanaka
Fact
Did my message not send
I think caesar used his devil fruit to make katakrui hallucinate and jts not a show of powrrlebek
But I could be wrong
Well of course but people want to hype the child poisoner
But they don’t share a VA
Nah Caesar no diffed him
Powerbebek 
Bebek W
Luffy clone is real
Urara W

they do... but its Luffy from 1998 OVA
😔
still Luffy
Watch him have red hair or something
Omg that's amazing
Of course he will
he is still Shanks's ancestor, changes nothing
Has played Luffy before and “both characters are voiced by same person” has a key distinction. It is very cool though. Reminds me of what they did for FMA:B
Imu biggest failures over the centuries
1.) tried to obtain Nika fruit so Joyboy couldn’t return but was never able to
2.) tried to erase all Davy Clan so Davy Jones wouldn’t return but wasn’t able to

I have had theory's that the one shots arnt one shots
And there past joy boys
Infact
.
What was it about
We have had 3 version of romance dawn, Nika, joy boy , Luffy
That’s Oda’s special little boy
In response to you
Oda thinks he’s slick
well he is the child of destiny yea
Are people saying shanks is a joyboy ancestor because of harold thinking he'd seen shanks before
"People" its just arsal
He’s the specialist boy in the whooole wide world
oh my god joyboy voice reveal
Is arsal saying shanks is a joyboy ancestor because of haromd thinking he'd seen shanks before
well there are a few more people than me but I will gladly claim the theory as mine
If it was after this then no 😔
yeah exactly, Joyboy’s VA it’s not the same as Luffy’s lol cmon now

Is Shanks an even more MC coded character than Ace now?
Now heres the thing about joyboys reveal
nah Arsal was believing this before this chapter
no I think thats just related to Roger visiting Elbaf before
If hes some macho guy with a beard the voice wont fit at all
Arsal is just testing his luck after mosahoshi
Since Ace is dead Oda is putting everything into Shanks, bro even forgot Sabo and Law
it’ll probably be a Luffy clone there’s no doubt about it
Lili is literally just a Vivi clone
why did Imu not kill him in the flower room?
Joyboy is gonna look like 40 year old good future Luffy
Was there a break this week?
No
Rocks swerved him
Let's GO
lol true
Davy Joens gonna be a Teach clone
Shirahoshi gonna be a OG Poseidon clone
Luffy gonna be a Joyboy clone
Vivi is a Lily clone 🤣
Plot
It's possible Imu only has powers through others but can't be killed in person till all other marker humans have been taken out
If there was a break this week I'd probably end it all tbqh
There it's hoaxcruxis
yeah, I have been believing it because I think it will contrast with BB being Davy's descendant. The mysterious Mama Shanks with her fiery red hair and no face is a mystery because Oda has not deemed it the right moment for us to see a direct descendant of Joyboy.
Did Joy Boy became 100 btw
presumably yeah YC
Old fart
I get it
Void Century came to a close with his death so I assume it started with his birth
Joyboy died at 23
i believe so cause he was alive before the void century and VP said his death ended the void century
We don't want clones 💔
Joyboy died at 67
I don’t understand this
Did joyboy become 100?
guys so the official went with Abyssal, thoughts? @vital heart
We already know Davy Jones is a Rocks clone too
How do we know he was alive before the vc?
Got it
Not before but he was born at the start of VC
Viz sweep
Is Joyboy a giant then? Or in part?
Do we know that?
Vegapunk said it
Hmmmmm
It's possible joy boy did die and gave his fruit to another half way through void
Chapter 1114
Send panel
Oh damn he was pushing Kureha numbers
Joy boy is gonna have a big round red nose. Calling it now
No one would know if he was in "Nika " form
No shot joyboy lived to 100
Judging by every one mistaken Luffy for joy boy constantly tly
wasn’t the void century 800 years ago ? and VP said Joyboy was 900 years ago and his death ended the void century
That motherfucker had to have died in battle and he was not 100 fighting a war
I wonder if Buccaneers age differently too
I like him dying in battle better
What if he was just that strong
He was so strong they couldnt kill him until he was 100 years old
Giant Joyboy is just kinda dead, he is too small compared to Emeth
Tbh 100 years isn't that big of a age in one-piece
What if my dick was just that big man, it doesn't work like that
is imu gonna gasp next episode or the one after?
It does
Oda is bad at sizes but it gets to a point yknow
It does work like that
It to be fighting the whole 100 years. Maybe joy boy didn't age
Kureha is 144 sooo
Well it does for me
he isnt gonna be THAT bad at sizes
Also speak for yourself cunk
Yeah but she also not fighting a war at that age
I'm just memeing. I agree with you Arsal lol
I think we have a heavy cap out for battles at like 80
So? She’s still up and kicking
You can fight at 100
I'm guessing the reshaping of the world to achieve the fact that no one knows what happened during 100 years, would take a lot of time even 50+ years
You just need some icy hot afterwards
So it makes sense it's 100
What I'm saying is this doesn't work for joy boy unless he was ageless that's all
Joyboy was just the peak of Oda's "old men should be forever powerful" philosophy
Ok now post where he said joyboys death ended the vc
i cannot look at another one of these gifs without the impact frames
If we only know the date when he talked to emmeth
Thats not what I said. That was my question
Did he?
I'm getting angry now
Unless the final battle took place in the heaven realm and time dilation is real
Because that also seems to be the last time he spoke to emmeth
Joyboy, based on that hat, should be something like 20 feet at least tho
Or whatever the realm was called
Was he that big next to emmeth?
Me neither
Astral realm,heaven realm whatever it is
Would never catch my ass on the arsal realm
Definitely possible if we ever find out about that realm 😂
I mean next to Emeth I dunno. He may be like 10 feet or something
we are not ready for the training arc in the Heaven Realm of Spirit and Time
3 days will equal 2 years there
What if there's nothing up there or it's just like a cemetery for the giants
Elbaf time dilation believers had to readjust so it's just the heaven realm now huh
A hyperbolic realm
I think it could also be the underworld but I am sticking to Heaven Realm
When we learn the heaven realm is time distorted so we can train the strawhats up there, 1 year in there is 1 week real time 🧘♂️
so true
As for the idea that only 13 people can form a contract higher than the “浅海契約: Shallow-Sea Contract,” if you think about it simply, the Five Elders make up 5 of them — which means the God Knights would total 8 members.
︀︀
︀︀In the God Valley incident, we actually saw 7 God Knights.
︀︀So where was the last one?
︀︀
︀︀My guess is that there was someone who held the position that corresponds to today’s “最高司令官: Supreme Commander,” the role currently filled by Garling.
︀︀
︀︀“司令官commander” is usually someone who stays off the front lines and gives orders to the team from a distance. So it’s likely that Garling, “団長 the leader”, was the one overseeing things directly on the ground during the God Valley incident — while the “最高司令官 Supreme Commander” stayed behind in Mariejois.
Very close to other series! I will reframe from calling koya tho
That wouldnt change anything because no one seems to go there

I don't think the elders are counted in the mark
Pretty much my exact thoughts as well
But Garling was never stated to be the Commander
how did you guys like the episode today?
Unless it was omitted
I just dont believe that Oda introduced those HKs in GV just to replace them offscreen
Why
Well
It seems like they are
He's noted as commander in today's chapter 33 years ago
The man couldn't even bother naming them
Tbh it has to be rare for a holy knight to die
24
We have more than 10 holy knights already
or 24 years ago, you know what i mean
Oda just wanted to draw some ideas on throwaway characters perchance
wassup yall
Replaced some
wait a minute then Harald was there for like 18 years
people told me 9
Oda doesn't need an excuse to introduce characters we see for 1 page then never again
that's cause i had to correct myself just now
But that’s a whole 14 years
We are at 12 gods knights
@hot cairn how you doing
this chapter was confusing with the times tbh
They do age tho
They do age
They don’t have what the Gorosei have
It seems like they needed Loki to replace one
So maybe
And Gaban said they aren't immortal
Maffey already got more screen time than the yakuza leader guys from udon
they can die... they can fail and disappoint Imu and be gone... we already saw it happen
So they might just get too old to fight as effectively and then they either retired or get replaced
People keep saying the elders arent a part of these pacts but like what reason would there be for that
Probably killed due to some failure
Like they have to have some type of pact
People want there to be more than 8 God knights i guess
It makes sense that the Abyssal contract is exclusive to those closest to Imu (Gorosei)
They’re wrong. They have a pact for sure
Only logical reason is wanting to see the older knights or wanting more of them for match-up purposes
It seems the perennial youth is separate from the abyssal contract
I mean some do..I'm guessing the first level you age
13 HKs from a writing logistics standpoint is asinine from oda
Seeing as garling got old is it safe to assume only the abyssal contract stops ageing
Seemingly
Either some would have to be neglected or the story is extended another year lol
It's not even that because of Gunko
but there's already enough when you consider that only conquerors haki users can beat them anyways, with that in mind 8 of them is more than enough
How when Gunko tho
i like viz's translation of the contract names better
Gunko can have the abyssal contract
And I think sommers would be older
Gunko was given the contract too
She's seemingly got something more going on then other God knights
No aging is 100% because of the Ope Ope
He would be like 50-80
But she was still a blade of god
Also if Harald wasn't even a Holy Knight I wonder why they wanted Loki to be one if they wanted to replace him
60
She was devoted blade at god's valley and she should be much older than her appearance at that point
They need the giants on there side
Yap Yap Yap
loki is to replace garling
Stop barking dog
But yeah, i'd say Gunko has some sort of special place, could be some unique contract
I assume whatever contract the gorosei and Gunko have is what allows them to not age
Yeah but they could've just made Loki a blade of god
Well people always say there arent enough enemies
Loki was Garling replacement
Loki would've skipped a whole stage in the HK system
We saw her back when Rocks barged in to the Flower Room
I mean that's probably what's happening
56 yrs ago
They asked him to become a Holy Knight though
I mean, knowing Loki's personality, they might just assume he would say no to that position
Not a Blade of God
Socrates thinks Loki would be such a good wg dog he'd get special promotions
Interesting
Then what's the point of asking
I guess bro

Hoping he'd say yes to an even higher position, not the base level position
I mean they asked him specifically to be a holy knight not a god blade
It just seems like they wanted Loki for his strength
That’s a difference
Tbh oda might now even had the herichy system worked out but even so there is a process to becoming holy knight
Maybe they would have skipped the first stage but
as if loki knows the difference
The last contract that could be missing from during the time of the GV incident could just be Gunko
They want Loki because they're trying to make a play for elbaf again
Maybe they decided to skip protocol for whatever reason
How would he even know the difference
They were willing to allow Loki to instantly become a holy knight and know of Imu
I mean, he very well could considering his dad could have talked about it to him
😭
Elbaf shenanigans
I mean, he very well could considering his dad could have talked about it to him
Maybe the current devoted blades just suck ass
That's unlikely
his dad was instructed not to talk about HK business with commoners
Adam your theory is falling apart
They will be the gifters of the final war
Doesn't mean he'd follow that for his heir
fairs
Its so funny everyone in the manga is so desperate for elbafs strength when the average giant gets one shot by a gust of wind travelling over 5/kms
The theory isn't falling apart just because you don't understand the characters
Mihawk was a devoted blade btw
In almost positive holy knights are fighting the revs
At least half of em
Garland vs dragon is set up now
oda keeps saying the giants are a great military might but we see them get one shot by doll
Loki barely even knew what the Holy Knights were
He just knew they were CDs which he disliked
i wonder why loki dislikes the CDs
There's no reason for Harald to tell him about the blade of god and the holy knights
It's true but like maybe 1000 of them is a little better than 1000 marines
Xebec might've told him
They're like super fodder
So th issue here is your looking at the top fighters when war breaks out it uses civilians to fight and a giant can take at least 1000 regular civilians
Giants vs VAs
fodder dont win wars
Who’s better
Also if this were the case why choose Loki? The shame of Elbaph

fodders are irrelevant in wars
I mean they actually do lol
You dont get wars 🤨
If Loki is actually a key piece in getting the giants on whichever side, this might foreshadow his Yonko-like past as a pirate

Wasnt a oneshot, she hit him like 20 times lol, and she is a Vice Admiral so its the least you'd expect from them
fodders dont win wars in one piece a lot of the time, unless they're used to stall before someone actually strong can come in and win the war
now yc is gonna cite some irl war when we are talking about a fictional one piece world
but I guess that is their use
Because one maybe Imu is stupid and doesn't know and two if Loki were to get u freed and state he was becoming king without destroying elbaf I think people would get behind him it's his violent nature and want to destroy everything that freaks people out
Fodder fight fodder pretty simply. They may sometimes get in the way of actual strong people
Alabasta
What indicates he barely knows? He indicates he does not know why he was able to effectively harm one in the past, but now understands why due to Gaban.
So it’s important
I mean there's probably quite a lot of giants
"yeah guys I know you think I killed your greatest king but ignore allat I'll take his place, we friends now?"
We dont know the exact number but I'm guessing it's in the thousands at least
How about trying to rationalize the path of Elbaf to the son that can't understand, so explains things to him to help him understand (he still refuses to change though, typical teenage rebellion)
I bet half of elbaf would instantly take his side
Haj and the people that know Loki might not
Alec Waugh and his regiment participated in the horror at Passchendaele in 1917. Waugh’s direct and brutal description of witnessing a body decay in No Man’s Land was discussed in a review that appeared in The Bookman: “his [Waugh’s] ‘Cannon Fodder’ and ‘The Other Side strip the romance of war to the bone and leave it a senseless huddle of mud and blood and putrefaction that no sane man could glorify.”
Less explicitly, the poem “Cannon Fodder” gives voice to the isolation and alienation that link the experience of the trenches with that of the home front. Despite the multitude of living things in No Man’s Land – busy lice, creeping vermin, and feasting worms, the dead man is a “poor, lonely thing.” And when the family learn of their soldier’s death, the news enters their home like a snake, leaving a young girl, mother, and all who loved him, in silent, solitary darkness.
The form of the poem mimics the frustrated search for meaning in a world that no longer makes sense: while there are rhymes, they are unpatterned and unpredictable, and several lines end with words that never find an answering echo (as in line 3, flesh or line 47, broken). The poem’s stanza lengths also vary widely: the first stanza and its description of the putrefying body is the longest (18 lines). As the poem continues, however, stanzas grow increasingly shorter, until the last four stanzas are limited to four lines, as if mirroring the breakdown and decay of bodies, of understanding, and of meaning.
When The Bookman reviewed the poem in 1918, St. John Adcock noted what made Waugh’s work both disturbing and distinctive:
"We are so accustomed to have our poets pass elusively over ugly truths that it shocks some of us to come across Alec Waugh’s swift statement of bald details in his sharply-contrasted sketches of what is happening simultaneously at home, here, and on the battle-fields at a distance."
tbh if i was Shamrock i'd also say join the holy knights and not say you should be god's blade...
also I was doing something but as for the HKs count
I also think the hierarchy was not made yet
Yeah and him being able to harm one in the past could just be because the person in the castle incident had the same uniform Shamrock and Gunko had
I was gonna repost something, 1s
1 second passed
10 seconds passed
Look 7 holy knights for the depths covenant, Gunko and the 5 elders comprise the abyssal covenant
It makes sensew
^
Have we seen anyone recently show a liking to him ?
How many holy knights were present on God valley
It would also explain why Gunko and the elders are both immortal, it's cause they have the same pact with Imu
Like 7 I think
7, Gunko wasnt an official knight yet
She was a blade of god
The blade mark doesn't count than
7 Hks on God Valley
The supreme commander that was missing makes 8
Currently before Garling's transition to Gorosei, we had Garling, Shamrock, Gunko, Sommers and Qilingham existing at the same time, thats 5 HKs. Maffey, Yeti guy, Cow Mask guy, Goth HK, Other Manmeyer's present day status is unknown but I am willing to bet that they were not introduced only to have been removed offscreen years ago and that they are still working to this day. Thats 10. Add 2 for the Shoujo Prince guy and Gas Mask guy and thats 12 with the 13th being unknown, that makes more sense to me. There are 12, really 13 Zodiac Signs and that also fits well with the idea that the HKs are meant to be based on the signs.
So I guess she was only technically a blade of god in rank but already had the abyssal contract?
Yeah well Imu has a special interest in her
Instill think goresei and HK are separate
I think Loki would have taken the mark garland was leaving. Behind
again, you are making up gas mask and shoujo prince guys as holy knights when nothing indicated that
Why do we think she was a blade of god ? Bcs of what those cd said ?
Also a lot of the knights from GV could have just retired by now
Yeah they directly call her a blade of god
The “13th” zodiac is Ophiuchus
Yeah they call her that
Tbh tho we don't see any one not holy knight not in regular CD dragon outfits
Sommers still in it for the love of the game
I am adding them because even if they were just Devoted Blades, they must have been promoted to Holy Knights by now
tbh i was on that corner... until i saw that all the Gorosei are capable fighters
I thought they called her a pet
@sage temple “Loki join the holy knights”
They call her both
We see the group given the title "holy knights" in the flashback and it's only 7
Yeah maybe if he even has enough time to do that; he dies in a year
What about how the story of Gemini has twins switching places and one giving his god good to save his twin
I see
Oda literally removed those guys
There are probably a large selection of devoted blades, i doubt the majority of them make it to holy knight
what's the deal with the number 13 at the moment?
Do we know if they even exist
God valley the valley of retcons
8-9
They might still but they arent knights
I just dont see why Oda would highlight those 2 if they werent gonna return
Idk
Ok, that still gives time for him to tell Loki about it?
"13"00 the chapter Loki was introduced 
They are devoted blades maybe, or if the old knights retired maybe they're knights now
Loki was introduced in chapter 1030
There are 13 CDa with a higher sign
If each counts for the 13 than the goresei could not be apart of the 13
I think
all the gorosei being capable fighters suggests that they were once knights under Imu tbh
ah, kk. thx
Yes, but that's missing the 2 from the Kuma flashback
maybe if we got their names lol
Those could be god blade and not holy knight
They didn’t even appear in god valley
Why would the gorosei have some super secret contract that no one knows of
Himmel 🥹 sorry your name brought out emotions
If there are 8 and the 5 elders, thats 13
Loki has snake eyes and may be able to damage the red line
It's possible they were devoted blades of God like Gunko was at the time
we didnt get Cow Mask and Goth's name either but they were the only 3 that were highlighted with Garling in GV during Kuma's flashback lol
They were there at GV, just not shown in the second flashback
That doesn't mean they weren't there
That’s what I’m saying
Yeah, but they were highlighted again in the god valley flashback
Oda just did some placeholder shit for the Kuma flashback
Did they even distinguish that blade of God doesn't count for the 13
The proper one is this flashback
Yeah
Most of the knights didn't get any screen time
Yea but all the official ones we saw were in the group panel
i respect irl fodder
Highlighted is such a big word
Still don't think goresei are apart of the marks
Yes, they only are talking about the 2 deeper contracts
Appeared in the background of one panel
8 holy knights is weak
i was reading that wtf
if there are only 8 HKs, that means aside from Garling, Shamrock, Gunko, Sommers and Qilingham, only 3 HKs exist. That just doesnt make sense to me when there are 7 candidates from GV alone lol
Neptunian in 2025 in a chapter that features Neptune
It's not even enough to take the 10 straw hats
Gorosei have full body abyssal marks 
literally hahaha
but again I will ask, why would the gorosei have some super secret unknown pact with Imu, what is the point in that
They were “highlighted” only for a few to get any proper screen time 
I think they are literally part of Imu at that point
Yeah it seems like a lot of different hoops to go through for Loki's HK request to be unrelated to strength/natural influence
Except for those two who are seen in that context as knights in that previous flashback
I don't think it's a packed I think it's something more
This makes it sound like Harald is also freaked out by Loki’s eyes, calling him a demon
idk what you want me to call this
the shojo prince character
Something I find interesting is that all the contracts are ocean themed
I think they just dont have a covenant at all, they are special
Garling isn't a HK anymore, so he's not one of the 8 and there are 4 more
I dont see how it could be more, my assumption is you get better "perks" or abilities depending on what covenant you're in or whatever.
They have some kind of deal with Imu'
Why is the text so uncentered?
They literally have to
guy who is trying to compete with Garling just entirely irrelevant I guess
so much good fanart this chapter
I'm pretty sure he's never seen his eyes
people just like drawing shanks and shamrock a lot I guess
Curse you Oda for never showing us shoujo prince in action
They could easily be devoted blades of god
I think you’re putting too much stock into this stuff
If shanks and shamrock were from baltimore
very likely oda retconned his ass out of existence
I am counting him because the vacancy has supposedly not been filled yet. That leaves only 3 current HKs
Yeah they are unfortunately
rip shoujo prince
Common God Valley L
Accounting for double pages I’m assuming
I disagree that they are irrelevant lol, you guys are the ones making that assumption
when will your hate of god valley be over
These two are either god blade or Oda erased them from existence
Don’t want to cut off the dialogue for prints
When it stops being bad (never)
They're not that relevant or else Oda would have shown them in action
Well we know that it's not full body since we've seen the bodies of say Jupiter and Venus. I'd say most of the arm
They’re not even there
there are 12 characters who can be HKs in the present day, and that alone makes the idea of 13 HKs very likely to me
not 8
I really don't think Oda had the hierarchy figured out at this point
why this 🖍️🤕 so mad
Oda drew them just to keep copers about BM not eating all the children alive
I'm with you!
You just really want to see all the ones from the past also in the present which isn't likely
I mean what would have happened to them
Some of them got replaced more than likely
I think some of those just got replaced
Why do you assume all the knights then are still knights now, it's very possible some of them were replaced
again, I just dont see the point of introducing them just to remove them offscreen
this translation is much better than "shallow sea contract, deep sea contract, and deep deep sea contract"
Gunko probably replaced the Manmayer when she became official
Literally like only person or two in the world can even hit them
They die or get too old or retire
Especially because these guys actually do age, they grow old and weak like everyone else
They were barely introduced man come on
^
I firmly believe this doesn't happen
They can also give up their postion to their kid or something
is this bait
only 38 years have passed, Sommers is like barely a year older than 60 right now.
What?
what do you mean old
They're there to fill out the CD presence at God valley
Garling is literally old
It is much better. But tcb sounds more like something oda would do
how Oda felt after writing the entire script for God Valley, watching Toei's animation and realizing he didn't do shit with 5 of the shown God Knights
Is 60 not old
He aged
no
No haha
😂😂😂
Not really
It HAS to happen. They do get older, they have to die sometime. Not everyone gets to be an elder
If anything you get to specific age an stop aging form there
Kaido is 59, BM is 68, Fujitora is 58, Kizaru is like 58 too, these are all active ages
i thought ragebait was prohibited
Ehh idk
thats how old the HKs are at best
Also how do you know Sommers is only 60
68... so close yet so far
I unironically think random unnamed Goth holy knight that shows up in the background of like 2 panels is not that relevant baba
Dang I thought kizaru was younger
I'm kinda crazy like that
You know? Old? People can die at 60 lol
not in One Piece
They’ve couldve died early
Uncs
crazy take
Sommers should be older
This would’ve been real if shanks was on the other side of Blackbeard 
Sommers can easily be like late 60's
Or older? Garling was pretty young and in his 20s back then, the others could be older for all we know
Like I said I think you age till your "prime" than you stop
Sommers still retains his hair color and doesnt seem to be an old man, I am putting him somewhere around his early 60s
114 will be the ugliest one piece cover of all time
@scarlet nacelle
It sounds better but it’s not as accurate
Shallow sea
Deep sea
Deepest sea
Is the literal wording
Tell that to Ace
This seems fake
and even so right, what if he was a younger knight at the time, just cause he's possibly "only 60" that doesnt mean the other knights wouldnt be like 70 in the current day
the exceptions dont matter
Respect Rocks
😕

the admirals are all uncs, the yonko were all uncs minus Shanks
It’s fan drawing
you can tell it’s fake because luffy isn’t on it
Dragon is an unc, he is 56
ok but im still gonna use shallow, depths, and abyssal
You can't deny how chopped he is, and the cover will be cluttered
I don’t think they’re putting gunko on it so we’ll be good
Someone like Maffey could have easily been in her 30's during GV, I dont see her still being around
Sometimes we need to sacrifice accuracy for something that sounds better as prose
Fair
I will hunt you down
There’s old Luffy in the top left
Well I do hope it isn’t cluttered..
Where did all the maffey fan art go
But we’ll see
What’s wrong with you guys
mmhmm
at age 68 she would just be as old as BM
She got aura'd so it was over for her
died along with maffey herself
😢
why would she not be around lol
She gone
BM is not normal Arsal
I agree but I feel like we’d be killed if we did that for something so important lol. I think it’s safer for scans to lean a bit more literal for new terms
How many chapters would be in a volume
I ask for so little
Maffey was present for rocks death she is coming back
68 is not that old lol
I thought it was like 14
Feeso can you explain to me why genzo is being translated as Gen. Did oda just forget how to write his name?
It IS old
Usually 7-10
67
67
Qillingham trying his hardest not to be replaced by Imu's finnicky ass
Stop this cope that 68 is not fucking old
Sweating bullets
Even at that point, he has a couple members. Idk if hed just add them all
Maffey is definitely still around since she was shown with Garling and Sommers, and she does match one of the silhouettes pretty well
Started working overtime 😂
Neptune is like 70 and Oda didnt even pretend like he was old
I’d hope he adds Loki and Harald
BM is only so strong because she's a freak of nature
His name has always been Gen, people call him Gen-san . Dubs and maybe viz did Genzo to match lip flaps
Killingham putting in the most work rn and Imu still doesn’t think it’s enough
Not everyone gets to be that old
There’s literally no pleasing that guy
Tom was 67 years old and he was just walking around normally too, as strong as ever
So his name isn’t actually Genzo in Japanese?
😭 If Loki agreed to being a HK
Meanwhile Sommers basically doing jack and getting owned by everyone 😂 shoulda been replaceda fter GV smh
What has summers even done
Exactly
It might be but it’s often shortened
He’s trying his hardest 
Lost
And if we go by tattoos, he’s probably higher ranked than him
Be the best celestial dragon
And dead
Sommers is funny so he gets a pass
So summers is being rewarded for doing nothing
This is why I don't think they get replaced or die
i wouldn't be surprised if they offer doffy the position HK thats vacant due to garling's promotion
I need to check tbh @olive sigil
I feel like my whole life is a lie
he started glazing his own fruit at mach speed when Imu questioned him 😭
When will Kid appear from them

Maybe promoted ?
Beat Saul and ultimately Robin
Invisible thorns around the kids
When will Mihawk stop running away
Sommers family member is also an Elder so he probably gets special privileges
Killed a bunch of slaves also counts
I just dont get how the idea that some knights just retire is so crazy, like is it that unbelievable
He’s not running 
They’re on elbaf to kidnap the kids that’s not important rn
That’s why killingham should get more credit
saturn didnt tho
And unfortunately I have to praise gunko too
yes
Yeah once you get to 75 or so you lose half your prime strength
Saturn didn’t have a holy knight relative?
Probably a lot of nepotism too, trying to keep that shit in the family, replace a manmayer for a new manmayer, for example
I doubt you can retire from being in a devil contract
He's pretty pivotal in that too, considering it's his thorns keeping them captive
And it only keeps going downhill
Apparently everything is unbelievable in this story
Because where do the marks go when they retired
They coordinated pretty well
@woven talon
It makes sense for knights to retire then new strong recruits are brought in
The marks alone seem to be a since of permanence
Yeah that too, like Garling for sure wanted both his kids to lead the knights when he became a gorosei or died of old age if he didnt
all the HKs are still around and they are exponentially more powerful than they were in GV and ofc more experienced too
https://x.com/NoburuArt/status/1995171322113225171?t=rlVYrV8nJQA3VFhIvdTkfw&s=19
guys how does Oda possibly fit Luffy in a cover like 114 without making him a 4th wall break
saturn didnt get special privileges after egghead even as a gorosei
there is absolutely no reason for this to not be the case
I'd say every celestial family probably has a hope of trying to get one of their members as Gorosei, and then when a family member cannot achieve that, they try to replace themselves with a new member of the family. That one manmayer probably demoted
Rocks look old af here
I’m not talking about like that

Is this vol going to be all god valley?
Luffy interacted with over half these people therefore it's ok to put him there
We dont want luffy 🗣️
I think he’s supposed to look tired or something
He’s literally stressed as hell
But he is really old
Cut him some slack
He looks homeless like his son
shiki fans in the MUD LMAO
Worst case scenario they're killed off when Imu no longer finds them useful, which is not that unbelievable either
he was probably like 50 tops
It’s fanmade chill
i hope it's something like this
dw it will be, trust
Shiki will be on the actual volume cover
What are you talking about he literally got a panel this chapter
Dw shiki is in Elbaph
Shiki stocks are booming
No real reason to hate on him
shiki got a 3x4 image of him after God Valley and and it's already WAY TOO MUCH
I even don't think that I think it's pretty permanent once you get the higher mark
this is a glorified movie cameo
Don’t switch up when Shiki shows up on elbaf
Seems like it is Genzo but it’s often shortened to Gen
Shiki fans were dying about him being Gaban
The Shiki hate must end
Shiki doesn’t belong in the story period if we’re being honest
The movie is like 15 years old stop coping
Shiki sucks
it's just funny to dab on shiki fans, shiki himself is fine, truly
I. Thinking too is it possible the HK choose there powers ?
Why da hell did they turn this man SSJ
I can’t believe people like shiki
I guess in the English versions they don’t shorten it because I’ve never seen that being used
114 will be looking like this
Luffy doesn’t need to be on it
shiki is a nothing burger character
I can't keep hating on Shiki anymore when he's a based Rocks hater
Every time this guy is mentioned every hater of his jumps in the chat at once like a sixth sense
Thank you penny for switching up
- The lowest rank is the Shallow Covenant which makes you a devoted blade of god. It doesnt seem to give you special abilities yet, might just be a sign in form of a tattoo
- The second rank is the Depths Covenant which makes you a Holy Knight. You are now one of 13 people who know of Imus existence and have a magical bond to him. Along with a more detailed tattoo you can now probably enter the Abyss and have special abilities like regeneration.
- The highest rank is the Abyssal Covenant which are also included among those 13 people, presumably Commanders of the Holy Knight or Gorosei. This might be what makes you immortal and gives you Yokai forms.
Rocks haters aren’t real people
Muk
Penny
Yeah and even when they do shorten it, they add a suffixes anyway, so English just kept it un shortened
I love how chat has been obsessed with shiki and garling hate lately
dont gotta force me to hate on him
You're very lucky you've been gone from the community
It’s too easy, I understand why people bully Kid
Ngl I don't get how anyone looks at Rocks and dislikes what they see
Oh hey feeso
it's the lack of blue hair with the gigantic cheekbones for me
it all comes naturally to me
Penny doesn’t like rocks but is damn near gunkos number one fan
They're like Shanks fans and Blackbeard fans and Zoro fans all combined into one
Goated
Just saying whatever
I guess I'll have to be the final Shiki and Kidd fan, the last one to carry their names 💔
The MC of the old gen 
mostly true, but not the Gorosei, just the commanders of the HKs
Garling is not even worth hating, he is just straight up dookie
Penny doesn’t like rocks??
Ok thanks that makes sense. I do think for the sake of consistency you should have kept it unshortened in the translation. Otherwise the rest of the translation was good
thing with garling is he has nothing cool going on for him
No need to drag kid down further than he is rn 💔
His position on the One Piece spread has been revoked
thats what you are saying but others are saying something else so im just objective
just shit character
You're welcome
Garling is hateable because he's evil
Kid needs Shiki to return
Sorry
If you wont defend him I have to
they are wrong, you can ignore them its okay ❤️
That’s by design. But rocks fans are irrelevant to me. Rocks the character himself is dope
He’s a household name now
lmao why didn’t you keep buggy in his spot ?
Davy D. Xebec 
Seems viz might have exaggerated using demon here anyway , should be ruffian or hooligan or delinquent
I think he'll fit better at the bottom
🤷♂️
Piss off with the buggy hate. Put Loki in the bottom where he belongs
Buggy has no haters
I'm not hating Buggy
Not scientifically possible
I'm just relocating Buggy
should be 1155 up to 1165
which is when Xebec is introduced? a bit before GV up to Rocks vs Roger/Garp
Buggy has no enemies
Well there's Maji
Buggy is one of my favs
But he's gonna switch up
You took his place
Hi
Relocate anyone else
Kill buggy
all of the navy by the way
I like to think it was a consensual agreement
Its so funny you did all that to exclude Garling instead
Buggy fans are insufferable
Tbf that wasnt his idea I think
Rocks initially gave me the same vibe as Shanks but then he got torn down. With Shanks, we’re out here saying he’ll kick BB’s ass in their fight 
buggy fans are fake
Maybe I should reread that part
Joy….
Boy 
Buggy is the true reincarnation of Joyboy
Buggy fans = one piece fans
Garling lost his panel priveleges
Maaan
i think the only real fandomns out there are shanks, rocks, zoro, and bb
Wow that's crazy a whole vol of rocks
you forgot the insane Boa stans lol
and then actual one piece fans
I'd be okay with Buggy dying if it meant Shanks died too
Shanks fan are insufferable too?
Was a Gary Stu for his entire existence but he died so we can't say he's one
Aura farming or getting his ass kicked
an actual pile of stone
Me when I open my textbooks
That’s all his screentime
Penny probably hates that page of the narrator detailing his crimes
True
It’s just those who make buggy jokes all the time otherwise buggy is peak
Only to be shown raiding bad guys
You can't aurafarm and be ass
Yeah I do

character fandoms are subset of the one piece fans
It's ridiculous
true
It’s WG propaganda
Buggy fans are worse because for the longest time there was nothing to buggy’s character besides being the funny gag guy so that’s the only thing buggy fans would talk about
I’d take 1000 years of buggy jokes over an hour of shanks glaze
penny wants sengoku to be right so bad
True those are the basic few
The consider going against the CDs as “taboo”
Can't even allow the guy to do pirate things without making excuses for him, he stole from an EVIL charity
Who cares what the gov thinks
See I respect Akainu fans because they will look at their goat murder someone undeservedly and say "yeah he did that shit"
loki fans are up and coming
True
I'm leading the movement
I'm the MLK of Loki fans
You can’t tell me buggy failing upwards isn’t genuinely cool
It’s sad that this channel hates fun
Akainu fans are based
actually you should put akainu in there
Hes in the story tho
Hey, there’s any mod here? I wanna check if I got warned, I talked about joyboy voice on #anime im sorry
oh yeah akainu fans are a valid faction too
i wrote this some time ago lol
garling feats updated:
- kill innocent civilians in a sadistic game
- kill his baby mother
- kill mjosgard
- kill rocks while he's defeated and on the verge of death on the ground
Until they start talking crazy about Whitebeard then I have to step in
I said this once and I'll say it again if BB kills Sengoku or hurts him horribly I'm getting up out of the fence directly into his agenda, don't even care if he has slaves
yeah i missed him
He got humiliated too by Imu
Jason why'd you react
Shiki?
I dead ass can't wait for god valley omnibus
It’s whatever to me. I’ve never really liked buggy but I don’t hate him. As long as he doesn’t become pirate king it’s whatever for me
based character
I’m saying idk if I can even say that for Shanks
Xebec
Actual volume of rocks. With a picture of the red line
Shiki too though actually
Rocks is a Gary Stu?
lmao because i’m confused how the 2 go together
He will. In the news at least. I genuinely believe that
and dragon fans
We still waiting…
Rocks D. Buggy 
damn Sanjuan bought Volume 114 already??
Rocks is too chopped to be a Gary Stu
Shanks has one inexcusable flaw: he betrayed Buggy
lol if Rocks is a gary stu then what does that make Roger
You'll get it one day
dont forget that he recruited a new totally trustworthy god blade
Imu did that
Yeah given to me by oda’s sandwife
Rocks is just a chaotic neutral.
He did some bad things, he did some good things. He doesn't lean too hard in any direction
OP is so funny. Rocks attacks Loki but he lit up Loki’s spirit so it’s all water under the bridge

Rocksfaiked to protect his family failed to win over his friend to help him and probably died thinking his family was dead
Lmao I hope this is the cover oda uses 😂 Ilah Mr rock scientist 😎 you got sunglasses instead of nerd glasses because of your aura
rocks is just a pirate
Th fandom fell for sengoku lies
Its their L really
Rocks isnt even some perfect guy he’s just absurdly strong for his era
Soon
I knew Xebec could be good
Remember when some people (Adood) thought garp and roger beat the entire rocks pirates themselves
I love how much aura this book has but the inside is the most boring shit known to man
Yea he sadly never got a break
weren't you a doubter
I hate how we don't know anything about him as a person
holy garp wank
Same especially when Loki was a Rocks believer
i love the fact that shanks and shamrocks are not introduced by garling as being his sons but on the fact that they're valuable to the cause of the holy knights, shows his priorities and emotional availability as a father
🥹
“Garp and Roger didn’t 2v1 Rocks”
why do you hate a character before you know anything about him then 😭
lmao Adood used to argue anybody who said otherwise
Because he's dead
The trinity
And we didn't get that
ME?
😂 it really does have aura but now I see that book as a metaphor for people! Outside can be interesting and inside is like another Nami twin 😔
The paper was actively reporting their crimes. Morgans loves to twist shit, especially so if the WG paid him to do it for Rocks or whatever
Yeah that was for sure cope, now I didnt expect the rocks pirates to get held off by relatively speaking nobodies until they betrayed each other
idk you're just a big doubter or a lot of stuff
yeah he really has no humanity in him
You want to see the inside?
Bro do you even know me 💀
It's mostly how the fandom talks about him that annoys me, they talk about him like he's a hero
I mean...
I've seen people say he's a better revolutionary than Dragon
idk why you let the fandom influence your opinion
Lmao
That looks like mkz_mo
Is that his alt
is this actually true
Well the fandom is fucking dumb about a lot of things
I dont let them sway me on that
What does this say, not all of us are weebs like you are
Wait who?
captain roger
rayleigh san
gaban
Rocks
Xebec
Is the joke that they call the first 2 Captain and San and Gaban nothing?
Hey, there’s any mod here? I wanna check if I got warned, I talked about joyboy voice on #anime im sorry
Dunno. I don't know who that is
I think we should listen and absorb every single opinion and theory as if it's truth
you getting banned in 3 days
good luck
Is it cause he wants to topple Imu
The thing is if they affect how I view a character it's because I didn't like them that much in the first place
Rocks
Im surprised everyone got it
Icon knows JP? 
We do though. He’s a wildly ambitious man who was hellbent on continuing his families legacy. Then he got a family and he simmered don. He loves his friends and would go to war for them. We saw cracks in his personality when his family was in real danger. He showed a ton of vulnerability on god valley and even right before.
lol I was wondering why no one was asking for translation
if you got warned KOYA will private message you
