[warped heart]

Tbh I think this is my fav arc since Whole Cake 🥳🥳🥳

[frozen lily]

Idk really I think overall it’s just the lack of progression among the crew

Like the arc isn’t bad I should say

But I’m getting kinda bored of the story entirely I’m not sure, I stopped reading chapters weekly since like November

I get oda teasing us and stuff but the off screening is just really annoying to me lately esp

Prob best I take a break for a bit till the story paces up again

[warped heart]

Hmmm I see and idk if I can strongly disagree with any points here

[frozen lily]

Yeah I’ve been following this since 2006 lol

I hope oda can wrap up the story well

And before 5 years

[fast pagoda]

Ni hao

[warped heart]

Idk if this was confirmed, but did Oda originally want Elbaph to be a key arc in the story?

I feel like I read that somewhere

[fast pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/essica-monthly-otter-9th-gif-10657353176143705418

[frozen lily]

I would assume so

But probably not the way he envisioned it oringinally

[warped heart]

Bc I always wondered how Usopp's dream would be fulfilled without Elbaph being the climax of it

[frozen lily]

That’s the big question

[warped heart]

It makes me think there's something else for him down the pipe instead

I guess his dream is more ambiguous than the rest of the crew

[vestal mural]

Arsal with a non-robin pfp? The world is going to end. This is the sign

[warped heart]

I personally really love the Holy Knights so far

[frozen lily]

I hope they get expanded a bit more

[warped heart]

Wbu?

[frozen lily]

I think they are very neat and remind me of the warlords

[warped heart]

That's a good comparison tbh

[frozen lily]

I’m really hoping they are the tool used to really test and upgrade the straw hats

[vestal mural]

The HKs are fine atm. I don’t hate them but I don’t love them either. I need to see more

[frozen lily]

I still have this head cannon that somehow kuina never died and she became a god knight instead

But stairs are too op

[warped heart]

Hmmm

How do you feel about the regen?

[frozen lily]

I think probably aside the off screening rocks fight

I really dislike shanks having a twin

[vestal mural]

It’s an interesting power up. I like that it gives ACOC purpose beyond just even stronger haki

[frozen lily]

It’s a very cliche trope and I hope oda can somehow pull it off

I also wonder how he will deal with the seraphim

[warped heart]

Hmmm

[vestal mural]

He pulled amnesia and time travel pretty decently in wano. So I think he’ll manage just fine

[warped heart]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-think-thinking-gif-4280214517394111861

[frozen lily]

Oda is known for winging arcs at times but I think lately my biggest fear is him wrapping up the entire story, probably the biggest disappointment I got this far was the end of wano

Egghead however was great

[warped heart]

For me, I think the character dynamics are what make One Piece appealing

[rain cedar]

It's supposed to be THE arc for Usopp

[warped heart]

I feel the same about Game of Thrones for example

[rain cedar]

So i assume it should be major

[warped heart]

So I think for the Holy Knights, it really comes down to their relationships with the wider One Piece cast

I think that would elevate the arc to a 10/10 for me

[frozen lily]

I cant be too critical of the recent arcs either as oda time and time again brings things back to relevancy

But supposedly he said after elbalf is the “final island”

It will be interesting how the events of elbalf will turn into especially with the time dilation

I just hope the final war truly holds its weight

[warped heart]

I assumed that too but tbh the more I think about Usopp projection and dream, the more I feel like Oda has flexibility here

At first I thought he would die at the end of the story

But that's unlikely given Kaya will want to reunite too

[rain cedar]

I highly doubt any of the SH are at risk of dying

[warped heart]

Being brave is a consistent effort too

So I guess there's a threshold Usopp needs to pass

[frozen lily]

If it wasn’t for laboon I would say Brook

[rain cedar]

But what I want to see is Usopp moments in Elbaf because frankly speaking, he is lacking behind every single SH at the moment

[frozen lily]

I feel like luffy is supposed to die as well

But he’s too beloved

[warped heart]

Yeah that theory being true would be wacky for sure, and ambitious on Oda's part

[frozen lily]

Yeah rn chopper, franky, ussop are lacking the most

[warped heart]

Tbh that makes it even more compelling for me

[rain cedar]

Not really, chopper did his part in wano and so did franky

[warped heart]

Bc that framing is so upside down

That I feel like Oda has another idea in mind

[frozen lily]

If they are gonna find the one piece they need to have abilities that go above and beyond the pirate kings crew

[warped heart]

You know???

😭😭😭

[rain cedar]

I feel that Usopp is just terribly behind when you compare him with the rest

[warped heart]

Idk

[frozen lily]

I’m gonna sleep chat, thanks for the the chit chat

[rain cedar]

I've always thought that the SH should learn haki

At least basics but yeah

[frozen lily]

It’s 3:30am

[frozen lily]

100%

They would all be very strong if they did

[warped heart]

Yeah like what Brook did at WCI, every SH needs something that HYPE

[warped heart]

Tbh I disagree

[rain cedar]

God I hope so

[warped heart]

I don't have much experience as a writer or artist

But I like giving my characters dumb shortcomings somwtimes

[rain cedar]

See, Haki has dominated post timeskip

But i don't think it's terrible either if Oda chooses to not give them haki

Given that wano showed that most of the SH are very capable ability wise

With the sole exception being Usopp at the moment

[warped heart]

Goodnight bro 🥳🥳🥳

[warped heart]

Hmmm

I wonder if Oda works backwards when writing

Like he sets milestones per character over an interval of time

And then fills in the gaps (in this case, haki training)

[rain cedar]

Yeah, I've been wondering when Usopps observation will be addressed

Hopefully, this arc

And if not now, then i think it's clear he's saving it for the fight with Van auger

[warped heart]

Hmmm that's possible, when's the last 1v1 he had?

[rain cedar]

Dressrosa is the last i remember

Could be wrong, but i can't remember any particular 1v1 in wano

[warped heart]

But idk if I have any investment in Usopp just yet, I wonder how the Yasopp reunion would factor into Usopp's ambitions and moral character

[warped heart]

Hmmm

[rain cedar]

I've been feeling pretty cynical about that as well

Mostly due to film red

And I know it's supposed to be non canon but there was a scene where usopp and yasopp teamed up and I'm afraid, Oda wont really go with the route where Usopp actually confronts Yasopp

[warped heart]

That's actually a rich power dynamic to explore

Usopp and his dad's I mean

Because it's a measure of will and moral character and responsibility

Usopp would probably never do what his dad did

[rain cedar]

It is but I have a feeling Oda will just go with Usopp being understanding of his dad's "adventures" and nothing more after that

But I'm not the oracle

[warped heart]

But your parent's shadow lingers in different ways right?

[rain cedar]

[warped heart]

I'm sure Usopp would be empathetic

But that dynamic

Whether dialogue

Or admiration

Or power level comparisons

I feel like that interaction could genuinely impact Usopp's brain 😭😭😭

What do you think?

Sorry it's 3am and I'm being weird AAAA

[rain cedar]

I hope you're right, I've had the same thoughts as well

I guess Elbaf will show what Oda has in store for Usopp

And if it does turn out to be a nothing burger then I'm not very optimistic for the future

[warped heart]

HEHEHEHE

I'm leaning 30/70 that it won't be like that for him

[rain cedar]

would be a massive fumble

So I hope not

Because I've been enjoying Elbaf

[warped heart]

I feel like if I was Oda, I'd do the same thing

[prisma yacht]

I want that bum ass yasopp dead

[rain cedar]

And there really isn't anything I can nit pick about the arc

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-kill-that-boy-speedy-moments-w-speed-speed-clip-gif-16493548970782765043

[warped heart]

Maybe go beyond Elbaf

Because bravery is a beautiful concept

That can manifest differently per person

So eh idk

🤭🤭🤭

[rain cedar]

Surely with a literal demon ruler terrorizing Elbaf, Usopp is about to have his moment

[warped heart]

Do you think Yasopp feels guilty or more embarrassed?

[prisma yacht]

His ass doesn't feel nothing 😭

Bro was a few islands away

and didn't bother

[rain cedar]

Yasopp very much feels guilty lol

[unique lagoon]

im still questioning the reason behind idas death
cuz of inheritance? how does that work
the mother is dead the unc is dead and loki never had good relations with that side of the family
how will they even get a cent from that wealth

[warped heart]

Idk if I would go that far yet

[rain cedar]

He said that he isn't ready to meet Usopp

[prisma yacht]

He needs to die

[rain cedar]

And it's obviously because he's a BUM but this is one piece

Maybe he had his reasons, who knows

[unique lagoon]

not even mentioning there was almost no chance the elders gets convinced ida will be married to herald

[warped heart]

I don't think Usopp's mom or Shanks are bad judges of character necessarily

[prisma yacht]

All fuels for loki

[warped heart]

And we don't know much of Yasopp's self-esteem either

[rain cedar]

I think it's just malice

[warped heart]

Maybe he hasn't forgiven himself yet

[prisma yacht]

that's what it got reduced to

[unique lagoon]

i still consider it a low bar reason to die
oda could have done something better

[rain cedar]

We do know he feels guilty

[unique lagoon]

feels forced

[rain cedar]

Yeah, I genuinely thought it was out of the blue as well

[unique lagoon]

literally killed her cuz he needed another sob story
Like lokis life aint sad enough already

[warped heart]

I agree he feels guilty, but how so? Would he change his actions if he went back in time?

Tbh idk if he would, at least not yet 🤔🤔🤔

But the guilt could be his answer to that question

Or the lack of an answer

If that makes sense

😭😭😭

[unique lagoon]

be like dragon
always spying on his kid growing up

[rain cedar]

Oda will probably come up with a super secret reason

[warped heart]

Dw I'm the biggest Dragon fanboy hehehe

[rain cedar]

Which is unfortunately why Yasopp couldn't visit 😔

[unique lagoon]

leader of revos manage to visit luffys island

[warped heart]

Hmmm mayhaps or mayhaps not hehehe

[prisma yacht]

A certain someone just doesn't care enough

[rain cedar]

I'll give it to Oda if there wasn't an actual reason

And yasopp just admitted he was too busy

Dilly dallying

[warped heart]

Hehehe maybe

I have friends who live a few houses down and I haven't visited them in years

And we kind of drifted apart

And the reason I never hung out again, was bc I thought they wouldn't want to see me

Maybe Yasopp feels the same way

AAA IDK

[rain cedar]

I don't think there is any logical reasoning, because a kid is your responsibility

Moral responsibility

So yeah, unless the red hair pirates were always up to some secret mission or Yasopp just wasn't there, I can't see why he shouldn't have visited Usopp

[warped heart]

Do you think Yasopp agrees with that?

At the time he left I mean

[rain cedar]

He feels guilty, so there is that

Maybe he didn't know then or just didn't care because he was busy exploring

[warped heart]

After the fact yeah, but at that very instant?

I don't remember actually lol

[rain cedar]

We don't really know how he felt then. I think maybe he just didn't want to be tied down

Because he was having the time of his life being a pirate

Or maybe there's another reason Oda will reveal later but that's my opinion

[warped heart]

Hmmm

AAAAA okay I need to eepy

Thanks for the talkos bro

Byeeee

[rain cedar]

Good night

[pseudo gulch]

What even is his point lol

I agree that the One Piece community can be very toxic tho

[craggy vapor]

that goes for all anime communities

[rose rune]

they wanted to make sure Ida and hajrudin got none of it

and they are dum

[unique lagoon]

but legally they wont anyway

so whats the point

iirc they also want some of it which i still dont know how they achieve that
do they wait for loki to die again

[rose rune]

some pride involved

like "we produced the current king"

[rain cedar]

I think they were afraid that Harald being the good person he is might split the inheritance

[rose rune]

"he's from our village"

[rain cedar]

Tbh I don't understand either how killing Ida has any relation with the inheritance

But they were all spiteful

[vestal mural]

Not again

Oh god

[unique lagoon]

i can see something happening with haj and loki gets to save him
somekind of redemption not being able to save herald and ida

[hazy turret]

Hello

[rose rune]

heya rokaya. did you see my beautiful edit?

[hazy turret]

I don’t like that at all

Unsettling

Uncomfortable

[rose rune]

I thought it was nice of her to pretend like she cared, even tho she doesn't like him

[digital spear]

Shes so bored

Shamrock ☘️

#shamrock #onepiece #art

X · Dec 10, 2025, 3:25 AM

[prisma yacht]

Evil thigh

[orchid yarrow]

animewatcher, laugh at jimmy

[unique lagoon]

did anyone do a fan art of shamrock without the cloak

showing his armor

looks like theres no metal bits on his upper body

[muted hedge]

pretty sure it would just be the same as when we saw him and Shanks

it's probably just this, without a cape

and other differences of course, such as the collar

and more distinguishing details

[unique lagoon]

looks like hes just wearing shanks outfit

[muted hedge]

definitely modified

like the cuffs on the sleeves as well as the bigger collar

[unique lagoon]

longer more fancy collar
the shoulder thing should be there

its mixing the the two

[muted hedge]

yeah

[unique lagoon]

just add the greaves for legs

[muted hedge]

it's such a banger

[unique lagoon]

i still like sommers version better

even has that sick belt buckle

[muted hedge]

both are good

[unique lagoon]

guy put a medal on his leg also
its so over the top

[muted hedge]

he is clearly compensating

he wears a faccade

[unique lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/loyd-move-mad-angry-gif-15156427

[icy wolf]

im praying shamrock is actually strong and not a regen merchant bro

he looks so cool

[muted hedge]

can't wait until we get a proper look of his full appearance

[icy wolf]

if hes just like any other holy knight ill be kinda disappointed

[unique lagoon]

fair to assume if shanks has CoC all 3 has one

[icy wolf]

maybe

nah shamrock has conquerors im pretty sure cuz when hes introduced u see the lightning behind him

[unique lagoon]

you can argue ~~shamrocks ~~ garling CoC was weaker back in GV

[muted hedge]

it's clear that he has a presence which the other God Knights don't, so i wouldn't worry about it

[unique lagoon]

i mean garling

[alpine trench]

i doubt he had conquerors back then

[unique lagoon]

cuz how does haki bloom work on HK
are they dueling with each other?
fighting stronger pirates?

imu buff? who knows

[muted hedge]

i imagine that the Holy Knights have done a lot of stuff which we don't know about, stuff which is more critical than just hunting slaves

[unique lagoon]

future sight and acoa
we havent seen any of em use those

[unique lagoon]

they do hunt pirates early on

how strong are those pirates who knows

shanks got owned by teach so thats one example i guess

does that mean they clashed with WB in general

[muted hedge]

personally i think that Shamrock is the one who scarred Whitebeard

Shanks getting scarred by Blackbeard, Shamrock scarring Whitebeard

[unique lagoon]

was it ever mentioned if WB knew about the teach and shanks thing

[muted hedge]

he didn't seem to know of it

[unique lagoon]

he dint comment on that iirc

[muted hedge]

he left it vague yeah

[unique lagoon]

thats kinda insane these noob HKs gets sent to hunt down WB pirates

[rose rune]

proving how strong weevil is

[muted hedge]

well, the conquerors haki being the only counter so far
makes it make sense that they were so confident with throwing them left and right
since so few have conquerors haki

[unique lagoon]

my idea is on this is shanks was doing his detective work
and BB was also looking on the same thing
and they somehow clashed

[craggy vapor]

such a banger indeed

[unique lagoon]

i can argue its about the 2 DFs

[muted hedge]

the official coloring is even better than the fan coloring

it just screams regal

[keen quiver]

Maybe ?

That doesn't help shanks at all

And the wg had never seen someone with 2 fruits

Ever

Unless imu just lied to the gorosei

Or refused to talk about it

[unique lagoon]

fan coloring always make em look cooler
no one would have expected the blue cloak that color aint cool enough for artist

[keen quiver]

Just straight up say never happened before

[unique lagoon]

we dont know what shanks plans was he was looking for something

[keen quiver]

Well he's not a fruit user

[unique lagoon]

i dint say he wanted to eat it

[keen quiver]

And 2nd point how would he know something the gorosei don't

[unique lagoon]

he got the gomu DF and dint eat it straight up

[keen quiver]

Him researching about the 2 fruits thing is a nice theory

But doesn't really hold much since only teach can do that

[unique lagoon]

its part of the whole roger grand scheme i tell ya

[keen quiver]

Where would he even hear about this when its never happened

[muted hedge]

Shanks researching on the darkness fruit, could make sense

[unique lagoon]

prepping for the future
like how joyboy prep

[muted hedge]

if it's one of the fruits which are critical

[keen quiver]

How would it help shanks to find out who can eat 2 fruits

I agree to it maybe being about the yami fruit

But the 2 fruit thing so far has no connection to the joyboy business

Unless Davy secretly had 2

[unique lagoon]

i still think shanks ended up being a key figure for the future of the 2 DFs
this is assuming loki DF and luffy is the 2

[keen quiver]

I doubt it

[unique lagoon]

sure go on

[keen quiver]

Its likely just the yami and the one loki ate

No other reason why teach bet everything

On finding it

[unique lagoon]

but rocks said one of em is in elbaf

[keen quiver]

If its not one of them

One of them

Yeah

The one loki ate

[unique lagoon]

right cuz rocks dint know what nika was

he also dint mention the second df

[keen quiver]

You believe the fruit was the gomu fruit ?

[alpine trench]

rocks mentioned that the second df was at elbaf

[keen quiver]

Or I guess nika

[unique lagoon]

not 100% sure on that

[alpine trench]

and that it would be upto harald to control

[keen quiver]

I just think its the yami and whatever loki ate

[unique lagoon]

cuz i still believe that nika user is only a mediator for the whole cycle

[ornate tartan]

the nika fruit is the single most important fruit in the series

[muted hedge]

maybe Xebec didn't know about the Nika fruit, given he didn't know about Nika as a whole

[unique lagoon]

well no shit

[ornate tartan]

I wonder how they got info on its true identity

[unique lagoon]

MC is nika

[ornate tartan]

since they renamed it

[unique lagoon]

see rocks was wrong here
cuz herald dint think he was worthy for ragnir

until imu gave him power

[ornate tartan]

800 years ago at laughtale there’s no way Joyboy message or whatever he left said anything about the nika fruit being renamed, or even a picture of it

[keen quiver]

Rocks was only wrong about harald not having the guts for it

[muted hedge]

it's still mind boggling to me that Harald feared Ragnir, given from what we saw Loki just needed to give him a few hits and then Ragnir acknowledged him as worthy

[keen quiver]

A couple of bonks and that was it

[muted hedge]

yeah

[pseudo gulch]

Nice tag mip

[unique lagoon]

im giving loki the special eye buff convincing ragnir

[keen quiver]

Unless you want to say loki pre fruit and ragnir = harald

Which would imply he could do it too

Even before the marks

[unique lagoon]

i havent really seen a good theory on the purpose of lokis eyes
surely its a big deal

[keen quiver]

Im sure if you ask socrates

You'll get an info dump to rival vegapunk

[unique lagoon]

i like my idea on it
its just another cycle that happens every x amount of years

[muted hedge]

could be similair situation to poseidon

[keen quiver]

Not big on any cycle theories

[unique lagoon]

oda doing cycles tho sooo

[rose rune]

Lisa hates the lion king

[unique lagoon]

[keen quiver]

But its likely foreshadowing the fruit

[keen quiver]

Yep no circle of life is allowed

[muted hedge]

i hope that the fruit is associated with fire

[unique lagoon]

you know what would be hilarious

if the DF is uranus

the imu ship is just another pluton

since you can make multiple of those

[muted hedge]

i feel like Lokis bounty would be way higher if it was an ancient weapon

[unique lagoon]

yeah but oda cant make his bounty higher than a yonko

loki is what ? 2.2B? 2.4?

[muted hedge]

2,6 if i remember

[ornate tartan]

shanks haki is already over the top

if he had a devil fruit especially a strong one like fujitora i think that would be too much

[opaque notch]

manga 2 weeks break?

[dense sigil]

I think so we didn't get spoilers this week

[strong wadi]

I don’t wanna see anyone hate on Oda’s proportions for characters again…

[rose rune]

I hate Oda's proportions. his characters are fine tho

how dare he look like a human being

[rose rune]

Jokes aside

[sleek viper]

BB = Big Beautiful

[high wolf]

Would be a Mihawk upscale because he's always gonna be a shanks victimizer 😹

https://tenor.com/view/mihawk-one-piece-agenda-piece-mihawk-upscale-mrbeep-gif-4652002396828019758

[ornate tartan]

cope😂

i’ve never seen someone be a victim to a guy who cannot defeat him

but this is the capacity of current one piece fan brain cells

[dense haven]

https://tenor.com/view/essica-monthly-squirrel-9th-gif-5242703095893606643

[ornate tartan]

and i know without a doubt that mihawk fans(if they even exist) are going to be very disappointed at the end of the manga

Then they will resort to attacking the author because he’s not writing their fan fiction of mihawk getting some crazy portrayal

[strong wadi]

Tbh they’ll probably mostly be mad about how in the manga, Zoro vs Mihawk will be 1 page

But do not fret, toei will put their full resources into making it an episode long

20mins of king vs Zoro level of production

[dense haven]

still not canon

might as well just read a fanfic

[ornate tartan]

Shanks has 2 guaranteed fights against Blackbeard and Luffy, with the former being one of the most built up fights in the series, and will also probably have flashback feats against Loki and Mihawk himself
And Shanks vs Shamrock is another possibility

When will we ever see Mihawk fight in the story again other then with Zoro which is someone he trained😂 only other chance they got is Shanks in a flashback, ironic

top 1 leech in history

[high wolf]

Shanks being stronger than mihawk doesn't even make sense 😭

[mighty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-cat-rigby-pee-funny-cat-gif-436236211739437212

[high wolf]

Oof

[ornate tartan]

it does make sense

he’s the guy Luffy himself set as the benchmark to surpass

[high wolf]

BB is killing Shanks.

[ornate tartan]

unless u are reading zoro piece

another cope😂

[mighty roost]

nooo :(

[high wolf]

Luffy's goal was never to surpass shanks.

It was to become a greater pirate than him.

There's a clear difference.

[ornate tartan]

u shanks haters gonna be sick asf at the end of the manga😂😂😂

[ivory sonnet]

In one piece Oda needs to write only one chapter to disbalance power scale.
Before Gv Garling was consider At Garp Roger level for some it was even above them but now 🙂

[high wolf]

I don't hate him.

He's just gonna die and that's what will cause the BB and Luffy fight.

[dense haven]

yea because luffy has no reason to fight bb atm

[ornate tartan]

we can talk and have discourse all day but the chapters will come out and we will see what is obvious soon enough

[high wolf]

Fr

Just look at loki.

[ornate tartan]

if you think shanks who is said to be as important to one piece as luffy is going to be used as a plot device to cause a fight then I believe there’s no point in continuing😂😂😂

[mighty roost]

is this ragebait?

[ornate tartan]

his role in the story is much bigger then what yall headcanons warrant

[high wolf]

Well, he's already the most important besides Luffy.

[ivory sonnet]

Yeah I too read theory that Dragon Shanks and Bb attacked marie joa(idk its spelling) and Bb was trying to trade shanks/Dragon to get sea mark to gain immortality. Also you might think is debuff but in this theory its considered that yami yami no mi lets him resist imu controlling him and he can enjoy immortality

[high wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/jose-mourinho-sweet-trouble-gif-26762341

[high wolf]

Who knows what oda is cooking

[mighty roost]

we dont know if imu is using a df power

[ornate tartan]

yes he does. What did he say in punk hazard? that he’s going to take down all of the emperors including shanks. Did you just forget this😂😂😂

[ivory sonnet]

Are we talking aboyt character importance or about their strength 😭😭

[high wolf]

Lmao 😂

Who's gonna tell them that haki is included in swordsmanship 😂😂

[ornate tartan]

Kaido was just the first on Luffy list

[torn stirrup]

still thinking about this lmao

[mighty roost]

lmao

[ivory sonnet]

Is this real?

[torn stirrup]

yes

[cosmic hamlet]

Dead chat

[ivory sonnet]

Then this slave beside Kuma
mihawk possible?

[grand flower]

Wano is actually full of insane shit like this

Kiku was like 2 years old looking like she was 6

Oden was that turned up to 15

Even Tama whooping Holdem now

Wano is like a land of actual monster people

No wonder the admirals and Zoro are such powerhouses

[high wolf]

This isn't enough to justify Luffy's goal of surpassing Shanks in strength.

Why didn't he fight BM if he wanted to take down all the emperors?

Luffy's goal is to become a greater pirate than him. This has been established since ch-1.

Luffy wanting to surpass shanks in strength is just a cope that shanks fan made to refute Mihawk being stronger than shanks.

[cold steppe]

In whole cake luffy said he'll come back to defeat big mom

[high wolf]

Yeah, and did he?

[cold steppe]

Why would he comeback if she was already defeated?

[fresh silo]

but he said that he would come back to defeat her after dealing with kaido, but BM herself came to wano to get defeated by kid and law

[high wolf]

True

[fresh silo]

he couldn't be wasting time in whole cake island, and he is idiot but not that much that he thinks he could take BM that easily without an army, everyone else was waiting for him in wano

[high wolf]

He got a reality check when he fought her in the wedding ceremony.

[fresh silo]

yeah, he knew that he isn't "that" strong to take on an emperor

[grand flower]

That line from Luffy is to show the difference between his resolve and Katakuri’s

Luffy wins the fight because despite Katakuri’s physical advantages, Luffy’s resolve was his advantage

Katakuri can’t even picture defeating Big Mom, but Luffy can

Katakuri saying “you’re looking far into the future” is almost a pun because on a literal level, it sounds like he’s talking about future sight

But he’s also talking about Luffys grit which is fitting because Haki is a manifestation of grit/resolve and that’s where the pun comes in

[fallen meteor]

Ngl idk if this is a weird take but I kinda miss chapters

Sorry if this offends anybody

[grand flower]

Haki is the focus of the fight because Luffy wins from perseverance and resolve

[high wolf]

Great interpretation of that moment.

That’s probably why he went there maybe

[olive sigil]

What a cool word

[grand flower]

Rescue his daughter

Interesting that Uta has Akagami hair too

[muted hedge]

if Uta has any relevance in the manga, it won't be in the same context as the movie in my opinion

she might not even be Shanks daughter

[grand flower]

Shes definitely gonna be related to his character

[spice cairn]

Shes on Imu's desk

[grand flower]

I don’t mean by blood necessarily when I say tjis

[spice cairn]

Its over

[fast pagoda]

I saw a reactor who thought Atlas was Uta

[grand flower]

But shes got the Aka hair and shanks thinks of her in Wano

[muted hedge]

for sure, but i mean the context as behind their relation won't be the same

[grand flower]

Yeah I wonder how she’ll exist in canon

I can see the backstory with Luffy remaining true

[olive sigil]

Make her a completely different character, new hair, new face, new look, new name, different age and sex. And completely different story. Make it so that no one knows that’s Uta except oda

[grand flower]

How long ago was it that Shanks was in Marijoa? Anyone know?

[muted hedge]

i've got a hard time picturing her, it feels like she'd fit in with the God Knights but at the same time not

[grand flower]

Yall gotta let this go

It’s gotten really old

[fallen meteor]

I saw a lot of reactors like that but I know that Brasomething guy did

[olive sigil]

It’s the first time I’ve said this

[fast pagoda]

Yeah I was thinking of him

[grand flower]

I think the whole anti-Uta thing has reached a point where it’s like

It’s clutter

[muted hedge]

wasn't it like 15 years ago or something-

[fast pagoda]

I don't think Uta will ever actually appear again in canon

Maybe Shanks will namedrop her

[fallen meteor]

I think people just want to shit on something

[grand flower]

I was trying to see if it lines up with Shanks going to Windmill Village. Could be that he got Uta from Marijoa then went to Windmill and that’s how Luffy met her in the backstory

[olive sigil]

It’s not anti Uta. It’s just that what if Uta in canon was just a completely different character. Maybe Peterman is the canon version of Uta

[grand flower]

If that’s what pleases you

[muted hedge]

that would be interesting

[grand flower]

I wonder if Garling being attracted to that woman was due to her distinct red hair

And that another CD had the same idea with whoever Uta’s folks were

[fast pagoda]

I have nothing against Uta I just don't think she'll actually appear again

[muted hedge]

i'm so excited for when we get to learn more about this red haired mother

she's the most interesting part of God Valley to me

[fast pagoda]

Unless they really want to sell her merch again

[grand flower]

I wouldn’t rule it out considering we’re gettin more shanks backstory and shes appeared with him in the manga

I feel like her never appearing again is lowkey off the table

[fast pagoda]

I wonder what her deal is and how Garling discovered the Davy family

[muted hedge]

the fact that she was left without a name or a face, it just screams importance later down the line

[grand flower]

I wonder if we’ve seen her before

[olive sigil]

She might appear as part of a shanks flashback that doesn’t involve anything related to the movie. Like Shiki

[grand flower]

She survived and dyed her hair to hide her identity

She couldn’t be Olvia could she? Age wise

[muted hedge]

i think she died when Garling stabbed her

i don't think she made it out of God Valley

[grand flower]

Idk

That’s most likely

But then why hide her face

[grand flower]

Maybe she’s shown up in another flashback set before me valley

[muted hedge]

i'm thinking it's because Oda will introduce her when we get the proper Shanks flashback, lol

where we see exactly how it went down, how Garling was introduced to her and all

[fast pagoda]

I could see that

[fast pagoda]

Yeah that's likely it

Really I'm surprised Oda showed us so much about Shanks in this flashback though

[muted hedge]

also, i think that it's really interesting how the villagers commented surrounding her
it really made it clear that she was more special than your average lady

[fast pagoda]

Seeing him as a Holy Knight was cool

[fallen meteor]

Now for real theories
Does gunko hide a clownose

[hazy echo]

Oh Chapter 0’s the Strong World thing

[ruby cape]

What a lazy guy

[fast pagoda]

This is so good

[muted hedge]

yeah

[fast pagoda]

Unfortunately its gonna take like 10 years for them to get to Elbaph at their current pace

[graceful grove]

@hazy echo danke

[digital spear]

cant wait for the next volume to be colored in 5 years

[fast pagoda]

They did like the first volume of Onigashima and then suddenly hibernated for 2 years

[muted hedge]

what will the next volume cover even be

[digital spear]

Rocks pirates

[fast pagoda]

And then they dropped the rest of Onigashima and the start of Egghead out of the blue

[ruby cape]

One thing I like about B/W tho is I visualise the colours in my head

[fast pagoda]

Rocks, Roger, Garp, Garling, Baby Loki, Harald, Shakky

[muted hedge]

feels like that would easily get cluttered

[digital spear]

Its gonna be like Volume 96 cover

[muted hedge]

better to just focus on Garp, Roger, Xebec and Harald maybe

[trim lily]

we don’t really need garp

[digital spear]

We yes we all need Garp in our daily lives

[trim lily]

a garp a day keeps the carp away

[muted hedge]

maybe with Imu as in the background, looming over them

[digital spear]

The "Imu looming over the cover" shouldve been like 30 covers ago but Oda keeps dodging every opportunity of it

[fast pagoda]

Nah Oda won't include Imu

Shakky should definitely be included

This volume is just gonna have way too many important characters

Also Oda might try to shoehorn Luffy in still

[trim lily]

such is tradition

[digital spear]

Definitely

He only doesnt do it in 5% of all covers

[fast pagoda]

This reminds me the Vol 113 cover should have been the Vol 112 cover

[digital spear]

And then what would the 113 cover be

[fast pagoda]

Shamrock isnt even in Vol 113

[digital spear]

Who cares

[fast pagoda]

I do because im dumb

[digital spear]

Shamrock shouldnt be spoiled

But he should still be on a cover

So 113

Its Odas fault for immediately sending Shamrock away

[thick mango]

so shamrock is probably being saved for later

[fast pagoda]

I mean I guess that's fair

[thick mango]

does that hint towards a sh victory on elbaf

[fast pagoda]

I remember hating the Vol 112 cover when it first came out because Vol 112 is what introduced Gaban and the Knights

[thick mango]

cause if the sh were gonna lose, why not glaze shamrock as a part of that victory and then hes still saved for later

[fast pagoda]

I dont think it really means anything like that

[fast pagoda]

Yall might remember that era

[digital spear]

And I already foresaw that would be Vol 113 instead and tried to tell everyone but nobody listened to me

[muted hedge]

i hope we get a glimpse in what's going on in Marijoa

[fast pagoda]

Oda was originally gonna draw Gaban and the Knights too

[thick mango]

i guess it could be three things: bb, revos, or just internal strife boiling over

[fast pagoda]

If I did it Vol 112 would be the Vol 113 cover, and Vol 113 would have Devil Gunko, Hybrid Killingham, Gaban and the Elbaph children

[thick mango]

i really dont think its bb while hes in active negotiations with wg and busy with other goals like ancient weapons

enough time has passed for another revo attack, maybe they used some of sabo's info to inform a new goal/target

[muted hedge]

i hope that it's the Revolutionaries

[thick mango]

we know for a fact internal strife is happening and escalating. But does that realy call for your strongset god knight?

[fallen meteor]

with MosaHoshi being basically confirmed i'm thinking the other side of the theory (FMI attacking Marygeoise) might be true too lol

[fast pagoda]

I dont think its Blackbeard but he's gonna come anyways

Actually I think Garling forgot to turn his stove off

[digital spear]

2 covers back to back with the same characters just in different forms would kinda be boring and with the Elbaf children it would be too much on the cover

The "holy knights in their strong forms and Imu" cover will be in Round 2 when they go back up Elbaf and fight them again

[muted hedge]

yeah, i don't know what it would grant if it's just about food
they've got the admirals for their uber service either way

it could be Oda's excuse to get Shamrock out of there and recieve the promotion to Supreme-Commander i guess

[thick mango]

i guess a fourth option that would be very exciting but i think unlikely at this point is that the marine schism is happening now

the vice admirals who saw saturn get drained are returning home

wg probably refusing to secure garp's release

complaints from ungrateful cds are gonna be at an all time high

[muted hedge]

would be cool

[fast pagoda]

That is understandable as well, though I dont think it would be that cluttered and this is not the first time Oda has done multiple characters in covers in a row. Just look at the Dressrosa and WCI ones

[frigid gulch]

Rocks full cover next

https://tenor.com/view/ababa-gif-9361961961253142287

[trim lily]

not impossible

hopefully poor harald gets some space on the cover

[frigid gulch]

Harald, baby Loki, Rocks

[fast pagoda]

Will the flashback be able to fit into two volumes?

[frigid gulch]

[trim lily]

yeah

one volume is 11-12 chaps and the flashback was like 15

[fast pagoda]

The first few chapters of the flashback are in 113 though

[digital spear]

Well yeah I know theres been covers with multiple characters, it could work but Dressrosa was the arc with probably the most covers that were the least interesting for me because too much was on them

I can only speak personally of course

[rain cedar]

Looking back, I think wano had great volume covers

Even though there were many characters

[digital spear]

But since this is an arc where they fight the villains properly, like I assume, there is gonna be a villains only cover, maybe even without Luffy

Yeah WCI and Wano covers were great considering how much Oda had tro juggle

[trim lily]

i think we already hit that one with the knights cover

unless we get a second one for imuko only

[digital spear]

Its usually in the second half of arcs so I assume yes

[fast pagoda]

I would love that

[rain cedar]

Maybe we get a trio of loki , Harald and rocks for the volume having the flashback

Would be pretty fire

[fast pagoda]

I really like this fan cover, though it doesnt have Loki and Harald

This flashback really could be split into 2 covers so its gonna be hard

[still mason]

Should have left off Kaido and BM and added Harald and maybe Garling instead

[spice cairn]

Left off Kaido Big Mom

No

[digital spear]

Its 100% not gonna have Eris

[sly belfry]

remove roger garp and add shiki john

[digital spear]

So glue

[rain cedar]

Remove the goats and add two bums

[haughty saddle]

remove all of them just it’s just a sepia filter image of god valley

[barren token]

Nice miku pfp :)

[digital spear]

Thanks 🙂

[mighty shell]

omg it's miku from fortnite

[rose rune]

they should add a big shiki face all over the cover and push everyone else to the side

[small ember]

Every day I remember the holy knights offices colors and weep

[digital spear]

This is like the best colors Oda did in a while

[scenic dirge]

The entire volume cover should just be John

[rain cedar]

Ngl, knowing Oda, the Godvalley cover is gonna be 50% shakky

[scenic dirge]

It’s his flashback

[scenic dirge]

Even better

[trim lily]

i hope barbell makes it into the cover

he deserves it

[small ember]

Let me peep them again

[trim lily]

im so glad oda hit it out of the park with the knights design wise

[small ember]

I love their designs but I just don’t think I’m crazy about Sommers or Gunko’s colors

[rain cedar]

Sommers is just alright

It isn't bad imo

[small ember]

For some reason I don’t like it idk why

[digital spear]

Theyre in the pins

[small ember]

Shamrock’s is the best

[rain cedar]

Eh killingam

Golden/black is a great combo

[small ember]

He’s a good one too

They all look better on the volume cover

[rain cedar]

Only complain about gunko is the hair color

Probably should've been something else aside from blue but not the end of the world

[small ember]

Yeah true

Trying to think of the worst color scheme in OP hmmm

[trim lily]

i was hoping for white but im satisfied with blue

[rain cedar]

Yeah, would've brought out the contrast in her eyes

[trim lily]

the anime knights

[small ember]

Have watched the anime in a min what do they look like

[trim lily]

skull guy looks good but the other two..

[rain cedar]

holy shit what

The girl is blonde???

That's so ass

[trim lily]

her colours are objectively wrong

in the manga you can see she has leather shading on her clothes

[small ember]

What is THAT

[muted hedge]

y'all noticed that they fixed Garlings beard?

[rain cedar]

Should've literally just left it as black

What the fuck man, that's mad disappointing honestly

[trim lily]

i assume itll change later

[small ember]

Only passable one is skull guy

[trim lily]

i have no clue how they interpreted her colours that differently

[muted hedge]

didn't Queen also have black hair in the manga

[rain cedar]

Are the anime color schemes supposed to be canon

[trim lily]

mostly until oda does otherwise

[trim lily]

yeah

but blonde queen looks/fits better i feel

[pulsar timber]

What did they color her as

[small ember]

I remember when Croc’s new colors were released

[pulsar timber]

Oh sweet heavens

[small ember]

Facts

[rain cedar]

not a color theory expert but i love how nothing goes together

Literally just picked random colors

[pulsar timber]

Straight up hit the randomizer on the color wheel

you can tell by the shading on her in the manga that shes wearing all leather

but they just ignored it lol

Well unfortunately there's a lot of people addicted to Ai slop here, but still I do doubt these stats. No way we and SK are #1 and 2 given our populations in comparison to say, India or the US

[tranquil blade]

USA not being #1 on that is surprising, a lot of ai fans here

[ashen perch]

I'm trying to figure out how South Korea is #1 with like 60M people in its population

Did someone make this list up

[tranquil blade]

and a lot of firms investing in data centers, feels hard to believe south korea beats that

[muted hedge]

probably

[tranquil blade]

It used the top 100 trending youtube channels in each country and isolated the ones that use ai slop

[hazy echo]

SK being #1 is stated in the post

8.45B views is crazy

[tranquil blade]

and then looked at the views on those channels videos

[muted hedge]

i click off as soon as i hear that ai voice

you know what i mean

[fast pagoda]

What is going on in Korea man

[tranquil blade]

Idk if that's best way to do it though, because that's only ai used by youtube channels and algorithm is not a perfect representation of reality

[ashen perch]

Yea this has gotta be bs, no way

[fast pagoda]

Actually I do know whats going on but still

Makes sense... when I went to Korea there was AI slop art everywhere I went. I was really disappointed.

Yea shes yonko lvl

[ashen perch]

EOS Robin will be stronger than Kuzan

[tranquil blade]

I mean admirals are getting more washed by the minute, if Rocks can beat one...

[rain cedar]

What is the basis of this

Why is kuzan catching a stray

[ashen perch]

I felt it in my bones

[pulsar timber]

Try not to laugh challenge

[thick mango]

kuzan is on a team destined to lose robin is on a team destined to win

I believe all SH awakenings are going to be like, ridiculously big powerups

[pulsar timber]

Appreciate you 🙏

[rain cedar]

Np np

[thick mango]

i think SH mostly have all the strength they need and really big powerups are unecessary

[tranquil blade]

Chopper awakening will be like that one videogame

[vital heart]

"SH awakenings"

only 2 other SHs besides Luffy have Devil Fruits lil bro bro

[pulsar timber]

Man Twitter is so great for art I just wish everything else about it didn’t exist

[tranquil blade]

Brook awakening will actually be really cool if Oda is good

[pulsar timber]

I’ll rely on yall to hook me up

[ashen perch]

Chopper, Brook and Robin

Usopp (Ragnir)

[trim lily]

ive managed to cull my feed into being mainly art or stuff i like

[fallen meteor]

Chopper awakens and turns everything around him human

[trim lily]

though every so often a topic will break containment

[rain cedar]

Yeah it's not allat bad

Especially when you don't interact with anything political

Or one piece power scaling related

[pulsar timber]

I’m going for a personal record though. I’ve never even downloaded the app before

[tranquil blade]

I've thought about it and the truth is that the website is literally trying to ragebait you into engaging with stuff that makes you upset

[vital heart]

realistically

[trim lily]

i fully believe that

[vital heart]

what could brooks awakening even do

robins awakening will be OP

[trim lily]

it tries like once a month

[vital heart]

sure

[ashen perch]

I disagree

[vital heart]

chopper idk

[fallen meteor]

a second revive he can do to someone else

[trim lily]

i have no idea what a chopper awakening would be like

does it just turn him into a man

[vital heart]

holy shit

[tranquil blade]

I think where they can get stronger they will get stronger largely

[fast pagoda]

I think Brook's awakening would bring the dead back to life temporarily

[vital heart]

if Brook can do a second revive

what if Brook revives Gunko

[thick mango]

i think the big powerup was ts and anything from here on out will be small/incremental

[ashen perch]

Brook's awakening will allow him to create Zombies, Moria Style

[fast pagoda]

Or even summon souls from the underworld

[fallen meteor]

thats my theory yes

[tranquil blade]

Awakening is better than them all randomly getting haki at the same time

[vital heart]

Think about it

[fallen meteor]

she dies from de-Imufication, ages and he revives her

[trim lily]

brook's awakening lets him attack the soul of the enemy and bypass abyssal regen

[rain cedar]

HOLY COOK

You should replace Oda immediately

[thick mango]

the power is flexible enough that any arguments like "well X cant fight Y without a big powerup" arent convincing to me. And also I think in some cases the assumptions that X is destined to fight Y is wrong anyway

[pulsar timber]

I think we get it in the next traditional battle arc. Some of them at least. Luffy/Zoro aren’t getting something substantial but Sanji is getting coc. Robin was recently buffed so I don’t see anything here. Usopp probably gets something or a big power feat. Nami will be just being more creative in my opinion and franky won’t come until the next traditional battle arc. Feel the same about chopper too

[golden valley]

Book can already attack the soul tho

[tranquil blade]

I mean at least 4 of the strawhats have had huge boosts in strength since Fishman island

[ashen perch]

It'll be something similar to it atleast, to bring things full circle from Thriller Bark. Maybe he'll be able to summon creatures from the underworld

[tranquil blade]

Why not the rest?

[pulsar timber]

I think Nami and Jimbei are hooked up for a while. It’ll just be getting creative for them

[vale heath]

Qbz is destined to fight PastaPunch

[dense haven]

its break over yet

[vital heart]

Luffy beats Gunko in Elbaf

Imu kills Gunko as punishment, she shrivels up like Saturn

In the Final War, Brook awakens his fruit, unlocking a second revive

He uses it on Gunko so they can live happily ever after

The catch? Since she shriveled up, she's also a skeleton!

Two skeletons living together in happiness now that Imu's defeated!

Yohohoho

#NEW THEORY

[trim lily]

ive been saying this

[tranquil blade]

Brook, Robin and Chopper all have a perfect path to get stronger, and Franky uhh well

[pulsar timber]

Brook revives whitebeard roger rocks Joyboy davy and Ace

[trim lily]

man if only there was an arc in which franky couldve gotten some upgrades

oh well

[tranquil blade]

Franky can turn the Sunny into a mech

[ashen perch]

I disagree, I think they've all easily got multiple big powerups left. The Monster Trio have already got theirs but even then, it doesn't feel like thats their limit just yet.

[golden valley]

Brook can
•Manipulate the soul with music
•put the soul to sleep
•attack the soul
•take out the soul

He needs new soul abilities

[vital heart]

That arc is called Elbaf

[rain cedar]

Something something egghead

[tranquil blade]

or even just repoing Queens tech for himself...

[rain cedar]

The island of the future or whatever

[tranquil blade]

Oda...

[ashen perch]

Wait I had a list for this

[fallen meteor]

dw about it, Vira is also known as the land of Cola

[thick mango]

i think this is informed by a very difernet outlook on how much story is left in general

[trim lily]

i dont know if nami will get another but i think most are due for one more big one

[golden valley]

Oh yeah and draw the coldness of the underworld by imbuing things with soul energy

[rain cedar]

Soooo we are surely exploring Usopps observation this arc right

[trim lily]

surely

[rain cedar]

Totally won't be left out

[pulsar timber]

Yeah I think Nami is set. She just needs to know how to use Zeus better

[golden valley]

Nami will get another buff

[pulsar timber]

Zeus staff is broken

[tranquil blade]

I think Chopper especially will awaken with the whole zoans having their own will revealation, could be a sign of Chopper's character arc progressing/completing

[golden valley]

All the strawhats are getting another buff

[trim lily]

i could see oda reintroducing the weather knots somehow for nami

[pulsar timber]

What does awakened chopper look like

[trim lily]

office worker

[tranquil blade]

You know

[fallen meteor]

probably just buffer

or he looks like a regular teen

no reindeerness

[tranquil blade]

Muk have you ever played this one turn based rpg game...

[trim lily]

what if chopper is already awakened considering monster point was basically like a failed zoan awakening

[golden valley]

Chopper will just get a stat buff.

I remember someone theorizing Chopper actually ate a mythical zoan.

[pulsar timber]

https://tenor.com/view/do-you-have-any-idea-how-little-that-narrows-it-down-blight-batman-beyond-funny-narrow-it-down-gif-25176406

[fallen meteor]

no more hidden mythical zoans

[golden valley]

Yeah

[trim lily]

forest god chopper

[rain cedar]

Zika

[fallen meteor]

Jika

[pulsar timber]

Doctor god chopper. Transforms into House

[golden valley]

Chopper’s awakening will be lame probably but if I had an idea, I would make it so that his zoan lets him essentially constantly evolve his capabilities, it would reflect human potential and creativity if anything

[tranquil blade]

Chopper is gonna look like a person when he awakens though, maybe with some pink awakening clouds because yknow why not

[trim lily]

im glad house chopper was ready

[fallen meteor]

yeah me too

[ashen perch]

Luffy : Super Nika, more ACoC
Zoro : Demonic shit related to the reaper in Onigashima, Black Blade, More ACoC
Sanji : New Jambe, ACoC
Jinbe : More Fishman Karate, maybe ACoC
Chopper : Ultra powerful Forest God Awakening, Haki
Franky : Pluton infused Mecha, Haki
Robin : Haki, Ultra Powerful Awakening
Brook : Haki, Ultra Powerful Awakening
Nami : Her true origins will be a powerup.
Usopp : Ragnir, Armament, ACoC, Future Sight

These are the powerups they're getting by EOS

[fallen meteor]

btw 'house chopper' is a cool ass title
