[celest mauve]

there'l be something to give oda the excuse to keep luffy and loki away from imu until it's time for them to be expelled from elbaf

[stone tulip]

I can post that again

[spice cairn]

I saved it because I wanted to show my friend who doesnt know anything about OP but I still bother him with it anyways

[stone tulip]

Based on Oda’s message I have a hunch it’s related to Mosa

[celest mauve]

it reminds me a bit of the pre-timeskip collage of the SHs

[solid mantle]

[dapper tree]

I did

[celest mauve]

when I said "them" I meant imu btw

[spice cairn]

Academy is very cute

[stone tulip]

I mean they all are from pre time skip including their characters designs, although Usopp and Franky’s design is mixture between that and post time skip while Vivi has far shorter hair than actual manga tho so there are some differences.

[odd rune]

Shanks is just more important than those kids

[dapper tree]

True facts

[spice cairn]

Shanks should KILL those kids

[dapper tree]

He would

[celest mauve]

it'll be a great day when luffy finally drops his idolization of the man

[grand flower]

Do y’all think Dofy would go to the island

[odd rune]

Nah Luffy just trusts that everyone else is getting the job done

[spice cairn]

I trust you Macks

[grand flower]

I don’t

[stone tulip]

Although realized that Chopper’s design is simple just his post time skip design lol

[dapper tree]

Zoro's master plan. Jump then use sword

Luffy knew

[celest mauve]

also rip to the zoro and sanji vs dorry and brogy predictions, turns out zoro alone can fuck around with both

[dapper tree]

Zoro also needs to learn sky walk

[red lagoon]

He believe in his team fr

[odd rune]

Zoro is a strategic genius

[dapper tree]

Tired of him punching the air

[odd rune]

He is too stupid

[celest mauve]

sanji vs sommers kinda has to be happening, maybe zoro vs killingham is in the works then

[dapper tree]

To move

In air

[stone tulip]

Yeah had faith that Zoro and Sanji will have everything under their control

[odd rune]

He spams his super smash bros ass down+B move

[red lagoon]

They’ve gone through a lot and made it out It’s no shock Luffy got 100% trust in his team

[odd rune]

And you'll like it

[dapper tree]

[solid mantle]

@stone tulip now I feel disgusted with myself because I didn't think of it. Fml.

[dapper tree]

[odd rune]

Would be cool to low-key just get the gods knights over and done with on Elbaf

To be honest. They're cool and all, but I just don't care that much

[dapper tree]

They are bums

[spice cairn]

Perona diffing Enel...

[stone tulip]

This is most likely case scenario while the rest of the straw hats will fight against nightmare monsters and domi reversi giants to save both the books and especially the children.

[spice cairn]

Uh oh

[dapper tree]

They can fight the revos

[odd rune]

Would be cool

[celest mauve]

that's why shamrock left early, to not get bodied out of the story before the final war

[dapper tree]

The SHs just stomp them

[odd rune]

Quite true

[stone tulip]

It’s okay, you didn’t mean harm at all

[dapper tree]

Very true

[odd rune]

Shamrock has a homeless aesthetic to keep up

[spice cairn]

Shamrock felt Brook

And decided to book it.

[dapper tree]

Him and shanks

[stone tulip]

I mean the straw hats had been through far worse than that anyways

[grand flower]

They just beat five kaidos

Thanks.

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-mad-skeleton-gif-10886506202898815019

[celest mauve]

shamrock kinda has to be saved for the final war after his inclusion in that final arc players spread

[dapper tree]

Shamrock more like Bumrock

[stone tulip]

No problem, just be careful on what you post next time 👍

[solid mantle]

yeah!

[stone tulip]

Shamrock’s story is tied to Shanks’ story

[celest mauve]

the moment brook gets to lock in for even a moment, he becomes so cool

[odd rune]

I don't know why I'm surprised that this brook battle convoy stuff is being brought up again lol

[wraith mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/cut-it-out-smh-stop-it-jonah-hill-no-way-gif-26885587

[odd rune]

Such an oda thing to do

[dapper tree]

Brook is just an aura farmer

[stone tulip]

Hence why is top 5 favorite straw hat

[celest mauve]

I'm debating whether he's in my top 5 rn because half the crew don't really do it for me

[stone tulip]

I was waiting for that shit to be addressed for years

Cause this is exactly the same set up Sanji has before WCI.

[celest mauve]

like brook had so little of anything after WCI, but he was awesome there and he's getting cool shit now

[odd rune]

I wouldn't even say exactly the same I feel like sanjis was even more nothingness

So I'm not sure why I'm surprised lll

Mao

[celest mauve]

who else could get additional backstory, nami and franky?

[ruby moat]

Usopp

[celest mauve]

nami's story has been teased twice in past interviews, idk what we would get for franky beyond the connection to queen

[odd rune]

Franky could have a bit of mads stuff but honestly I doubt it because of all of the backstories Franky's is probably the most 'found family'

Also Franky hates his dad

[ruby moat]

Id be surprised if Oda added panels to the manga confirmed queen is frankys dad

[odd rune]

Yeah same

[celest mauve]

I didn't bring up usopp, chopper or robin because we know everything about their stories and heritage

[ruby moat]

Seems like the kinda thing he doesn’t want explicitly said

[celest mauve]

we don't know nami's heritage though and that has been teased by oda

[odd rune]

I just don't know where that would fit in the story

[stone tulip]

I mean I love all of the straw hats but if I were to rank the straw hats in terms of favorites it would be like this which I did a tier for this

[red lagoon]

I think at minimum after SABAODY Luffy had 0 doubt his crew can handle themselves

[odd rune]

It'd have to be a Zoro-heritage-level reveal

But zoros found its place in the story and didn't encroach, idk how you'd do that for nami

[celest mauve]

I didn't expect brook to get anything before elbaf, I'd let oda cook

[stone tulip]

I mean we had Mr Prince stuff and then Sanji casually mentioning that he was from North Blue which is huge clue about his second backstory

[dapper tree]

We need to see the flashback where Zoro's dad dies to Mountain Bandit Tim

[ruby moat]

Shuri is a completely new name that we haven’t seen in the manga once until now, right?

[prisma idol]

Correct

She's the princess of Vira /j

[celest mauve]

for me it's luffy > nami > zoro > sanji (w/out his gag) > brook > robin > jinbe > franky > chopper > usopp > sanji's gag

[odd rune]

I don't really expect this brook thing to be anything too huge though tbh

[ruby moat]

Cool. Always happen to hear brand new stuff tbh

[grand flower]

Doesnt that tell you anything about how to take in OPs structure? That downtime for Brook was uptime for someone else and now it’s his turn again

[odd rune]

North blue thing was just to give context to Noland at the time tho, made complete sense at the time

And Mr prince is just funny

[grand flower]

Oda loves planting seeds

I wonder how many of them he knows that plant itll bloom

[celest mauve]

ok I don't know why you sound aggressive with "tell you anything" but yes, I know other SHs shone during that time and I wasn't hating on brook

[grand flower]

I didn’t mean that to be aggressive

[celest mauve]

it's just hard for me to be invested in a character that doesn't do much

[grand flower]

Well that’s kinda what I was hacking at

Wouldn’t it be more

Conducive

To take in that, they rotate?

[wraith mantle]

I wonder if shuri’s dad was a bad guy

[stone tulip]

Maybe Jinbe and Vivi, like I don’t expect a full on in depth but perhaps in case of Jinbe we might see his childhood with Arlong once these two reunite while I expect Vivi’s story would get even more expanded because of her connection with Lili and maybe their family’s relationship with WG in general, maybe even explore what happened to her mother or even Baroque work stuff could get expanded upon too.

[wraith mantle]

Mother caramel type shit

[grand flower]

If WCI made you care about Brook idk, IG I’d say you’d have a better time keeping that in mind, if that makes sense?

Like if Oda tucks Brook away I just tuck him away too

[stone tulip]

Yeah but it was strange how suddenly Sanji ended up being causal about him being from East Blue something that Nami ended up reflecting on that during Zou arc

[celest mauve]

I cared a lot more about vivi when she was actively involved back in alabasta but lost investment in her over time because of a lack of screentime, that's how I felt on a lesser scale with brook

[stone tulip]

Yeah he is either great at foreshadowing or great at improvising for sure

[grand flower]

I keep in mind that you never know who will pop back up in OP

The absences and cooldowns make the pop-outs a bonanza

[celest mauve]

yeah so I didn't particularly think much about brook when that happened and didn't rank him that high in my favorites because my opinions change, that's it lol

[grand flower]

I think that’s counterproductive

[stone tulip]

No Vivi /j

with all seriousness kinda funny how you ended up having Sanji in two different rank, meanwhile the main reason why I only ranked him as 6th was because if it wasn’t for his gag he would have ranked higher but at same time if it wasn’t for WCI he would have ranked even lower lmao.

[celest mauve]

not surprised you think that lol

[grand flower]

Terabyte were you ever into pro wrestling?

[celest mauve]

we've been over how you disagree with how I feel about things, we don't have to take it further

[celest mauve]

no

[grand flower]

Okay that analogy won’t work then

[celest mauve]

he's genuinely so good without his gag

I know it's not a near-dealbreaker for other people but I really dislike it

[stone tulip]

Dressrosa and WCI is great example of this, like the main reason why Oda had Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Brook, and Jinbe to be the focus on that arc cause they were absent in Dressrosa and vice versa.

[grand flower]

But the gist of it is, I’d try to think of characters cooling down like Brook or not showing up for a while like Vivi as just winding the gear for them again

Even Alvida is back and relevant

[stone tulip]

It’s valid, like I love Sanji but I do acknowledge that he has so much flaws especially with his gags.

[grand flower]

I said before I thought it’s counterproductive cause it’s pretty exciting in OP that happens and I think you sort of miss out on that

[royal orchid]

🐿️

[grand flower]

Idt you should let it bog you down

It’s more like delayed gratification

[royal orchid]

so also manga chat how are we feeling on this ginormous imu fumble

[grand flower]

I popped huge

[wraith mantle]

Goat

My squeaking goat

[royal orchid]

how do you let brook, the 2.5m tall skeleton with a gigantic afro sneak behind you
while worm walking mind you because he's fully tied up

[grand flower]

Yeah and the Supernova in Wano, Vivi in Reverie

[celest mauve]

I'll get interested and talk about characters when they do stuff and I won't be so inclined when they don't do stuff, that's about it

it's not like I disliked brook during wano and egghead, I just preferred other SHs during that time

[grand flower]

And all the cameos in VPs speech

[stone tulip]

When Vivi comes back I know it will be a huge deal cause they more they were absent the more impact they will make once they come back, it also why the whole Jinbe joining the crew build up was so effective cause it took 10 years to happen and he was absent for few years until WCI

[celest mauve]

also if I had to rank vivi, maybe above chopper

[distant vine]

Its very funny for a panel but its just a panel is all

People shouldnt read too much into it

[celest mauve]

can go higher depending on what she does later

[stone tulip]

Reverie arc had so many returning characters that some of them would play major role like Koby for example

[grand flower]

Yeah me too, the more he’s cooking them the more excited i get. Same with Dragon

[celest mauve]

brook upscale

[distant vine]

Jinbe and Vivi fighting for the worst SH slot:

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-one-piece-stampede-one-piece-movie-14-luffy-monkey-d-luffy-gif-14052859168924182714

[celest mauve]

usopp been on that for a while I fear

[royal orchid]

Who art thou to gunko? 💢

[stone tulip]

Completely fair cause tbh I would have ranked Vivi higher but she left the crew and was absent for a long time but there is high chance I will change my ranking once she comes back to the crew for sure.

[celest mauve]

yeah in all seriousness, one block doesn't mean imu sucks

[grand flower]

It’s just funny af tbh

[stone tulip]

Yeah plus the Cross guild too especially Crocodile too, even Wapol came back to the story too.

[celest mauve]

zoro managed to briefly block kaido and big mom's combined attack, man would've been demolished in a 1v1 against either though

[royal orchid]

bad scans?

[grand flower]

No one would have bought Brook blocking Imus Haki

He’s not even a Shieldsman

[grand flower]

Yeah

[royal orchid]

raws looked like this

[celest mauve]

absolutely horrendous

reminds me of naruto scans on mangapanda

[grand flower]

My coworker said Sommers gotta be the unluckiest man

Rayleigh dealt with him

Gaban dealt with him

Then he tells Imu theyre all clear and the ship sinks

[celest mauve]

sommers' cockiness and incompetence are clearly the traits of a future sanji opponent

[stone tulip]

Yeah Zoro was weaker than Kaido and Big mom but still impressive feat, plus Brook himself fought a Yonko on his own too and did very well despite losing so this isn’t Imu downscale but rather Brook upscale cause he is wildcard imo.

[odd rune]

Gokoku sovereignty was pretty fire but how quick did those mofos get to the kids???? Lmao

[grand flower]

The scanlations look like MUD oh my god

[grand flower]

Oda’s been doing this a lot

[royal orchid]

If I were imu Sommers would be getting sent to the shadow realm IMMEDIATELY after this

[grand flower]

Think it means anything?

[dapper tree]

Giants make big strides

[royal orchid]

well they are photos

[celest mauve]

he's probably meeting the same fate as saturn after this

after sanji's done kicking his ass first

[stone tulip]

Most likely 💀

[grand flower]

Nah not the raws

[celest mauve]

he needs to repay the favor to robin from wano

[royal orchid]

oh you said scanlations

[grand flower]

The unofficial release

[proud pivot]

Ai enhanced

[thick mango]

so what do yall think the escalation will be?

• a gorosei arrives, maybe mars being #4
• more holy knights arrive
• imu asserts their presence/will in a stronger way
• loki or some other key person gets reversed
• there will be no escalation, we're winning and will continue winning

[spice cairn]

3rd is likely.

[royal orchid]

I would not want this guy on my team
how are you given a city block range strong fruit, immortality, regeneration, the best of the best treatment ever and still let it fumble at every opportunity because you can't get your act together

[celest mauve]

I think another key giant is going to get domi reversi'd

[proud pivot]

imu returns to the holy land since the mission failed

[celest mauve]

yeah he's washed

[proud pivot]

not worth losing holy knights

But I doubt this will happen

[stone tulip]

Yeah Robin saved Sanji during Wano and now he is returning the favors.

Plus Black Maria always downplayed Robin’s relationship with her crew (especially with Sanji) and Robin herself got a power up during her fight against Black Maria in form of Demonio Flur, if Sanji vs Sommars is inversion of that fight it will go in a similar way too with Sommars possibly mocking Sanji’s belief in his crew (specifically Robin) and while Sanji would stand firm on his belief which would lead to him unlocking Conquerors.

[celest mauve]

either jarul or hajrudin imo

[celest mauve]

cook

[stone tulip]

Another option, Imu will summon the weapon that destroyed Lulusia

[royal orchid]

11/10 performance on killingham though
MMAs are making everyone busy

[celest mauve]

that's why zoro will probably face him, he's actually competent

[royal orchid]

what if killingham has a close range ability called

Sleep Powder

[thick mango]

elbaf benig destroyed would be pretty tragic

[stone tulip]

Always cooking with this

But yeah Sommars deadass is everything Sanji stood against so that fight is locked in.

[thick mango]

tragic enough to keep the WG feeling menacing even if everyone escapes

[trim lily]

type of guy to get banned in ou

[stone tulip]

I mean it was hinted at for a while unless someone managed to stop it

[celest mauve]

more like the type of guy to be cancerous in VGC

[distant vine]

Ethanbaron: That boy Zoro wont be getting plot stalled by Oda anymore eh? I better keep my ass off that island or IM FINISHED!!

[stone tulip]

Yeah Killingham is most competent one for sure, which would make his fight against Zoro more interesting I suppose.

[thick mango]

where/when was it hinted?

[celest mauve]

probably a parallel to god valley

I don't think they'll meet the same fate though

[royal orchid]

75% that feels more like 60% though

[grand flower]

It looks like a bomb going off

An atom bomb

Adam bomb

ADAM TREE @hallow herald

[hot cairn]

why the FUCK IMU username?

[ocean totem]

@royal orchid

[frozen ravine]

goku?????

[hallow herald]

Hinokizu’s flame leaf whirlpool stuff references the Hidden Leaf’s fire and crimson spiral symbols. him with the big gourd evokes Gaara, his parents being a red haired woman n a blonde assassin politician evokes Naruto’s parents, i think Hinokizu is gonna be a ninja, the ninja designs in wano are full of hojus and fire, theres certainly more im forgetting

[grand flower]

You’ll never catch Kaido, Kid, Big Mom or Blackbeard like this

[frozen ravine]

what sovereighnty is it when all of hajrudins crew comes together for a team attack

[royal orchid]

wrong @?

“You die now”

[hallow herald]

@grand flower i cracked the code on the barber shit twin

Oh word?

I don't believe you

[royal orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-anguish-despair-gif-13915908866750092639

[stone tulip]

Hinted at by Gaban twice actually

[grand flower]

What do you think about this Imu downscale

[ocean totem]

Surely you mean Brook upscale

Surely you can't be dissing Brook like that

[grand flower]

It’s both

You’ll never catch Kaido like that

[frozen ravine]

oda can save hajrudin from bumhood by giving him a five giant soverign team attack

[ocean totem]

Raizo made Kaido scream

[royal orchid]

all imu feats are Brook upscales

[grand flower]

Brook isn’t even a shieldsman

[ocean totem]

And Sanji ain't a swordsman but the man can use a knife

[royal orchid]

knifesman

[grand flower]

That makes it embarrassing if Sanji beats you with knives

Ergo

[stone tulip]

To be fair it’s Brook, the same guy who faced of against one of Yonko

[grand flower]

Brook upscale because who saw him blocking Imus Haki

[ocean totem]

Or makes it awesome that Sanji was good enough with knives to beat someone

[stone tulip]

I wouldn’t even say it’s Imu’s downscale at all

[grand flower]

Imu downscale cause who saw Brook blocking Imus Haki

[ocean totem]

The pessimism must be stopped

[grand flower]

Not when it’s inu

Inu

[ocean totem]

Everyone with sense

[grand flower]

Imu

[ocean totem]

All of them

[stone tulip]

I mean I did expect Brook vs Imu regardless

[grand flower]

Yeah right

[ocean totem]

You're forgetting Brook blocked Saturn

[stone tulip]

All of the straw hats except for monster trio and Jinbe blocked Saturn without Haki to protect Robin, Saturn deadass impaled Chopper who was on his guard point.

That fucking guard point is op af

[spice cairn]

Strong Point is very durable

[stone tulip]

Plus Franky ended up fighting against so many people who has Haki too

[honest garden]

This is just the first time we've seen Brook play with big players in a little while, people always get a bit apprehensive until the character follows through

[stone tulip]

So not that big of a deal

[hallow herald]

im diving deeper into the “the HKs barber is the only one who knows how to permanently cut them” thing

@grand flower did u see me saying Rocks is Gunko’s dad?

[royal orchid]

asking about concepts like regeneration and logia touch/clothes lets oda put a target on your back

[ocean totem]

Yeh see, these pirates are no joke

[stone tulip]

That’s pretty much Brook fights in nutshell and how it’s usually very unfair whenever he gets involved, like he either immediately one shots his opponents or in rare cases he ends up fight stronger opponents that he ended up losing, Ryuma and especially Big mom are great examples of this.

Brook never really had a proper 1 vs 1 match where he is evenly match with some or at least even struggled he actually wins.

[stone tulip]

They are future pirate king’s crew for a reason

[honest garden]

He oneshot a number which is fairly impressive

[grand flower]

Son

[royal orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-one-piece-film-gold-film-gold-op-film-gold-op-movie-13-gif-2484592200596937436

[stone tulip]

Point proven cause he is definitely stronger than number for sure

[honest garden]

The numbers were mostly just OHKO fodder, but it places Brook along folk like X-Drake, at least

[grand flower]

I heard you talking about them having horns and unicorns and rocks cutting the mountain

[stone tulip]

Like Brook is usually wild card and very unpredictable hence why most of his fights ended up way too short and already is over before even began

[grand flower]

STRONK

[stone tulip]

Yeah Brook is definitely strong for sure, like definitely above Usopp and Nami at least.

[honest garden]

I really really really hope we see Brook doing the first release of a demon contract without killing the person

[stone tulip]

Chopper might still be stronger cause of monster point

[honest garden]

He's the music guy, surely the one thing stronger than killing the victim is resonating with their soul

[grand flower]

What proof do we have that Brook knows how to properly wield a shield

[stone tulip]

Music will play a key role into that watch

[honest garden]

I really hope so

Brook music sequence PLEASE

[ocean totem]

With literal soul pressure

[hot cairn]

can’t believe you’re actually with agenda piece

[ocean totem]

Oh that's right, Brook also fought Big Mom

For an extended amount of time

[honest garden]

Yeah it's so perfect. Please Oda just give it to him

[ocean totem]

Just pulls out some phenomenal chord that he shoots through Gunko's soul

Imu feels a tremor

Gunko's tattoo fades away and she's free

[stone tulip]

Like every straw hat role tend to be relevant in overarching story and there is a huge reason why Oda assigned each of them a role, Brook being a musician is one of them and I feel like film red and even Wano foreshadows Brook’s role into all of this and how it will play out during final saga, Gunko being freed by his music is very possible and would make Luffy even more vindicated for wanting to have a musician in the first place.

[odd rune]

Genuinely so cool

[honest garden]

I think Oda likes that trope (overcoming mind/body control) as well, like with Cindry and Luffy (vs Goldenweek)

[royal orchid]

it's a gimmick but it's fun

[honest garden]

Brook gets extra aura because he's a skellington

[stone tulip]

Film gold really had great intro for the straw hats

[stone tulip]

Yeah most likely Brook will succeed in freeing Gunko for sure

[royal orchid]

brook would be hated on a lot more if he wasn't funny skeleton

especially the panty thing

[ocean totem]

At least Brook never almost died from anything like that

[stone tulip]

His gag is more tame than Sanji at least

[ocean totem]

He's also more useful than Sanji more of the time

Like a lot more useful usually

I defy you to prove me wrong

[honest garden]

I mind Sanji's a little less really, because it tends to be a little more creative

[royal orchid]

top 10 reasons I don't rewatch one piece

[honest garden]

But Sanji has more going on. It's easier to reduce Brook to that one gag

[celest mauve]

brook?

[frail cradle]

loki killed his contracted dad
contracted gunko killed her dad

[frail cradle]

he did during his fight to his own shadow

[ocean totem]

Yep

[ocean totem]

From a nosebleed?

[royal orchid]

well it was ryuma

not a slightly attractive woman

[ocean totem]

I'm also pretty sure nothing like that ever happens

[celest mauve]

I'm genuinely curious, what makes you think that lol

[ocean totem]

In most arcs where Brook has a presence, he's being incredibly helpful

It's like he took over Sanji being clever behind the scenes

And he can fight fairly strong people too

[stone tulip]

That’s what I speculate too

[celest mauve]

but didn't sanji accomplish so much more than brook in wano and egghead for instance?

[ocean totem]

In Wano, no

[stone tulip]

I think both Brook and Sanji are useful in their own way

[celest mauve]

[ocean totem]

'cause Brook was helping clear the crowd and couldn't be affected by the viruses, he was helping Chopper out most of the time iirc?

[ocean totem]

They're both extremely useful yeh, Brook just shows up more for it since he got introduced

[celest mauve]

he took on the gifters that were with black maria

he was with robin for most of the raid

[ocean totem]

And the Number yeh

[ocean totem]

I'm pretty sure he's with Chopper most of it

Was Chopper with Robin?

[celest mauve]

no lol

chopper was on the live floor, robin and brook were on the 2nd or 3rd floors majority of the time

[ocean totem]

Yeh, wasn't he the one keeping Chopper from freezing over or am I thinking of someone else?

[celest mauve]

marco did that

[stone tulip]

No Chopper was with the minks and fought Queen until Sanji showed up

[ocean totem]

Before Marco shows up

[celest mauve]

someone held a burning log to chopper yeah, maybe it was brook

[hallow herald]

i tagged u on sumn in theory chat

[celest mauve]

but brook was easily with robin a lot longer

[stone tulip]

Meanwhile Brook and Robin were dealing with Black Maria and her goons

[stone tulip]

I don’t think Brook was with Chopper, he was with Franky first if I recall correctly

It could be one of the Minks I think

[rugged ore]

brooo new chapter fire

brook is GOAT

also the oh shit on sommers

[stone tulip]

It’s great, Zoro plan is good and Brook lore

And no break next week

Yay

[celest mauve]

brook was with chopper for some time actually, he did hold a burning stick to stop the virus on chopper

then marco stepped in

[stone tulip]

Maybe I missed that somehow cause all I remembered was Chopper curing the virus

[grand flower]

I slander Imu and Garling

[celest mauve]

then brook and robin ran off

[ocean totem]

Yeh, knew I wasn't dreaming that one

[grand flower]

Ages to 80 and dies

Usopp eats arrow arrow fruit

[celest mauve]

chapter 997, brook was with chopper
998, marco steps in
999, robin and brook leave the live floor

It took 20+ years for "Nami-swan" to finally become canon 😂🤣😂🤣
In all of this time Oda-sensei has never written #Sanji saying "Nami-swan", he usually just writes is "Nami-san" ナミさん
NOW he finally deigns to actually write "Nami-swan" ナミすわん

that's actually shocking to me, toei inserted the "swan" by themselves this whole time

[odd rune]

why is it usopps group if jinbei, nami and robin are there as well lol

the hopium is alive

[celest mauve]

he's set to finally do something interesting for the first time since dressrosa (hopefully)

[honest garden]

Usopp WILL beat Killingham...

[hot cairn]

fair enough

[grand flower]

Must not be Sanji

[honest garden]

In a moment that concisely represents Usopp overcoming his fear once and for all (due to Killingham summoning his fears)

[thick mango]

Is that usopp dream territory? Do people think we're crossing off dreams before the end? I do

[celest mauve]

I fear that's zoro's fight

[honest garden]

I sure fucking hope not

[grand flower]

Kid kills killingham

[celest mauve]

but I get the reasoning behind usopp vs killingham

[honest garden]

Usopp vs Killingham can be so good, and it's well suited for Elbaf

I believe in oda

[celest mauve]

[thick mango]

Elbaf is the perfect place for usopp to realize he's brave and defeating literal nightmares is a perfect conflict to precede that

[celest mauve]

pulling another sugar would be a bit repetitive but it sure is better than anything he got in wano and egghead combined

[honest garden]

Sugar was him being lucky as well

[hot cairn]

Oda knows people are expecting things from Usopp

[honest garden]

I'd rather him purposefully look into his fears and overcome them

[hot cairn]

it’s probably a Zoro fight sadly… but one can dream

[honest garden]

Why must it be Zoro?

I don't see the matchup, other than Killingham being the 2nd(?) strongest

[hot cairn]

that’s enough

[honest garden]

Generally true, though I do think Elbaf can get away with being structured differently

[grand flower]

Reaper again

[thick mango]

In terms of dream realization
Luffy defines the end and franky also
Zoro and usopp probably before the end
Sanji and Robin will probably be in the final events somehow
Brook during or after
Nami possible but will take a while after the end
Chopper and jinbe have impossible long term aspirations

[hallow herald]

ur saying this to piss me off

[grand flower]

Oh I didn’t know that

I fuck with it tho

Pissing you off I mean

[hot cairn]

father and son beefing

[leaden rivet]

I have been awaiting Kid’s return for quite some time, it would be disappointing if he doesn’t return this arc.

[hot cairn]

let’s hope but I don’t trust Oda

[grand flower]

Kid killed Hanafuda btw

[hallow herald]

evil little man Usopp is getting the Kirin fruit u know this

[hallow herald]

wasn’t that Ace?

oh wtv

ur correctionbaiting

[frail cradle]

killingham singlehandedly makes chaos in elbaph

he shoots fire arrow from his bow

he also jujitsu’d a giant teacher

and you want him to fight usopp?

[ashen rose]

He's dead bro

[hallow herald]

Usopp n Zoro vs Quilingham and Shamrock, redo of them vs Kaku n Jabra

[frail cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/melxts2008-kid-eustass-kid-eustass-captain-kid-useless-mid-gif-711646626262400831

[hot cairn]

correctionbaiting is crazy

[ashen rose]

Shamrock is Loki's opp

[grand flower]

No nigga

Ace beat Hanafuda and he lost his warlord position

[ashen rose]

Loki is going to have his revenge

[hallow herald]

only Shuron could pull this off

[hallow herald]

ykw u got it

[grand flower]

Hanafuda decided to reunite with Ulti and pay pay

[frail cradle]

correction baiting

is real

[hallow herald]

and as we all know u get one fight

and only one

[grand flower]

A pirate group killed him while he was on his way to them

@hallow herald I have it on good authority it was kid

[celest mauve]

not particularly and I think zoro is likelier to fight him, I just understand why people think it may be usopp's fight

[ashen rose]

The mural shows he's going to fight Imu, so 2

[hallow herald]

im fine with it i like it

[grand flower]

Do you wanna hear why

Csuse I’m bouta tell you

[frail cradle]

usopp wont fight anyone, he’ll be a bum like he always is

[leaden rivet]

He may be, but I think there is a solid chance that he returns.

[hallow herald]

sure twin go ahead, respond to my Gunko shit doe

[stone tulip]

There still is the whole Yasopp thing which is main inspiration for Usopp in the first place

[ocean totem]

I'm waiting for Kid to get released to help

[frail cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/shanks-kidd-kid-eustass-kid-useless-midd-gif-17122428146629179809

[ocean totem]

And learns how to imbue his conqueror's haki into stuff because of seeing it happen around him

[stone tulip]

I could see Usopp helping Zoro out possibly

[grand flower]

That’s gon be this weekend when I don’t work twin

[ashen rose]

Usopps arc

[hallow herald]

going all in on Luffy Zoro and Usopp’s arc ending with them growing past their backstories and defining themselves by their losses and separate ppl, Luffy learning Shanks is Shamrock, Zoro learning Tashigi is Kuina, Usopp learning Yasopp aint shit

[grand flower]

This happened the year Ace beat Hanafuda @hallow herald

[frail cradle]

elbaph ahhh warrior

[hallow herald]

yea cuz my thoughts require so much processing hell yea

[grand flower]

What’s kids ship made out of? Why did Kaido make Apoo set Kid up for ambush?

The answer is the same

[hallow herald]

ooooooo

[grand flower]

He slimed Hanafuda and turned his bones into a ship

Kids ship is described as specifically being a dinosaur, not a sea king

[frail cradle]

what a theory

next

[barren token]

brook!

[hallow herald]

i like that shit good work

[hot cairn]

it’s Brook season

[hallow herald]

parallel to Shanks killing the 4th calamity as Shamrock maybe

pulled it out my ass but hey

[hallow herald]

and watch ppl still ignore all my findings on him

[dense rapids]

“My Black Shield Technique… I haven’t used this since Rocks era”

[ashen rose]

"joyboy, huh, that name sounds familiar"

[odd rune]

https://klipy.com/gifs/one-piece-hope-1

[ashen rose]

[hot cairn]

what are your findings evil buggy

[cosmic hamlet]

Sure

[dense rapids]

Gunko’s kingdom is gonna have some insane lore behind it

Loki and Harald were royalty of Elbaph

Gunko just a princess from the blue sea

Unless she’s half Manmayer like shanks

Then there’s also Brook’s revive fruit

If Oda is parallel Gunko with Loki then that fruit might be more important

[rugged ore]

So i thought brooks boss just died of starvation

[dense rapids]

Elbaph Legendary Devil Fruit

Brook’s Kingdom Cursed Devil Fruit

[rugged ore]

Like didnt they all die wandering the florian triangle?

[dense rapids]

That was his captain

Yorki

[rugged ore]

So we talkinf about a different benefactor in the chapter?

I do feel like brook has a lot of unexplored history prior to joining the crew maybe?

[dense rapids]

Yea

Everything before he became a pirate

We’re probably gonna get a quick flashback of him as a kid and growing up meeting Gunko’s father

Then a flash to his death

2-3 chapters max

[rugged ore]

Man if we get another 20 chap flash back...

Right after loki

[dense rapids]

Sanji flashback was like 2 chapters

[tidal ice]

https://tenor.com/view/he-was-forced-to-gif-22184163

[dense rapids]

I give Brook 3 just because Imu is included

[tough dust]

i actually think oda will save it for like near final war or something

i don't really see the full flashback happnening unless gunko meets her end here

[dense rapids]

How brook moving next chapter

While fighting a Imu clone

[stone tulip]

It’s gonna be similar to how his fight against big mom went

Still a Brook upscale

Invest on him

[maiden crystal]

what grade is brooks blade

[dense rapids]

Imu after Brook uses his DF next chapter and hurts him

[stone tulip]

I don’t think we have that info

[stone tulip]

Who knows but I do think music will play a role in freeing Gunko

Cause music is tied to souls like in film red

[dense rapids]

Brook didn’t even use his signature defense technique against Imu 😭✌️

Random shield

[dense rapids]

He needs his guitar

[stone tulip]

He will use that at the end of the arc

[formal wagon]

hot take: those are the gorosei

and the "east blue five" won't become the new gorosei

[spice cairn]

Hm....

[spice cairn]

Hot Take, the original 5 SHs were the Gorosei when they were kids

[formal wagon]

🌖

[spice cairn]

Gibbus moon?

Is that what they call these phases

[formal wagon]

🌗

[signal fiber]

Which ones nami

[spice cairn]

🌕

[signal fiber]

Prob Mars

[formal wagon]

WHO IS NAMI

[signal fiber]

WHY IS NAMI

[formal wagon]

i dont know

im sroy

[spice cairn]

OK so

Nusjuro: Zoro
Luffy: Topman
Nami: Mars
Sanji: Peter
Ussop: Saturn

[tardy crane]

I don't know why, but I feel like this is connected to what imu said about elbaph being "d"

[ashen rose]

Usopps arc

[ruby moat]

so true, no strawhat other than usopp is allowed panel time, otherwise it can not be usopp's arc

[signal fiber]

Whose arc is this the LEAST? Jinbe?

Man joins the crew and just carries boxes and puts out fires

[ruby moat]

nah he gets too much flak

he was fine on wano, and then egghead he couldnt do shit bc he was busy babysitting zoro

[signal fiber]

But it's still his arc the least

Out of SHs

[ruby moat]

hmmm so far yea

i do think he gets too much flak tho

hes a victim of his crewmate's (zoro's) incompetence

[signal fiber]

I think he gets the right amount of flak but I'm biased, I dislike him

[celest mauve]

jinbe probably could've remained a major supporting character than become a SH with how little he gets to do anyway

[signal fiber]

I wish he did

I like him better as strong friend

Bonney would've been better for crew dynamics

[scenic dirge]

And people still want more crewmates

[signal fiber]

I don't i just wish we could swap jinboy

[celest mauve]

someone like carrot would be even less relevant than chopper in egghead if she joined now

[ruby moat]

Shit I like jinbei on the strawhats ngl

[signal fiber]

At this point crewmate doesn't matter, anyone can be with us till the end in the final stretch

Once Law returns I don't think he's leaving

[ruby moat]

So u think he will join back up with the SH’s instead of doing his own thing?

[signal fiber]

I think his own thing will intersect with luffys goals

Oda knows he's a fan favorite. Screen time equals money

He wants to know about D, may have a role in Imus fall if he got immortality surgery, plus he hates bread

There's prob some SHs just now surpassing Law in post ts panel count

[ruby moat]

the bread thing is what sold me on him coming back

i generally agree tho i think he wont have as much relevance as he did with the alliance butg he will likely be following his goals which naturally have him and the SH's interact eventually

[thick mango]

Law is gonna be important. His fruit is important

[ruby moat]

yea

[signal fiber]

Kid is running out of Elbaf to return... poor guy

[ruby moat]

wondering if the existence of the immortality surgery will just be what is used to explain how imu has lived so long or if it will be used in present day in the story

[ruby moat]

i was rly convinced he'd come back since his defeat was at elbaf but i guess we'll have to see. If he does come back he won't be playing a big role in the arc most likely

[thick mango]

Maybe law will be able to reverse immortality

Not in every case but often if you do a thing you can undo it

[signal fiber]

He could show up at Elbafs end and travel from Elbaf who knows. His character feels so unfinished

[ruby moat]

have there been any quotes from imu regarding the op-op fruit?

i feel like if that was the secret, or weakness to imu's immortality, imu would have mentioned being cautious of it or something

[thick mango]

Doffy talks about laws fruit in relation to the treasure of Mariejoa

[signal fiber]

Iva said he may have gotten the surgery, Doffy said the key was the surgery and personality switch

[ruby moat]

oh right i forgot about that

[frail cradle]

doffy said that?

[signal fiber]

Yes

[ruby moat]

something like that i think i am remembering

[frail cradle]

i know about the surgery but not about personality switch

[honest garden]

The accurate translation of the surgery is perennial life, not immortality. That is to say, not aging

[ruby moat]

oh

maybe that was used on gunko then

[frail cradle]

and saturn

and gorosei

and HKs

[ruby moat]

yea it would be a whole lot

altho gunko specifically seems to be un-aging atleast among holy knights

like, shamrock has aged has he not? If he looks about shanks age rn

[frail cradle]

i think it depends on how young when you received the mark

you get me?

[ruby moat]

i think so yea

[prisma idol]

Thats practically immortality. Immortality doesn't imply invulnerability

[ionic palm]

he prob is going to return. I remember someone pointing out and theorizing what could be a hint that Kid and his crew are still around and are roaming Elbaph rn through Road's behavior. There was a moment of which the mention of a red haired pirate(?) had him concerned cause the idea is that he believes they're referring to Kid as it would also theorize that Road pulled Kid and his crew out and were the original prisoners of his toyhouse but broke out some time ago and are causing havoc elsewhere

[ruby moat]

i did theorize that road was the one that saved kidd a while ago

[frail cradle]

ok lets zoom in to “THIS VERY SPECIFIC DAY”

what was he talking about

[ruby moat]

i think its pretty perfect set up for that

[frail cradle]

when was the last time doffy was in marie jois?

iirc he got denied after he descended

[signal fiber]

Showing his dad's head? Maybe as a word

[ionic palm]

the moment he tried to regain his title by offering his dad's head

[signal fiber]

Was the pre marineford meeting there i forget

[ionic palm]

after that, he never got a chance

[frail cradle]

or was he talking about the day he killed roci?

[ionic palm]

Navy HQ

which isnt in MJ

[signal fiber]

Doffy wanted to switch with imu was my first assumption, but then he wouldn't need the immortality, he'd already have it

[frail cradle]

well the switch is temporary

[signal fiber]

We don't know that

[frail cradle]

i assume it is

[signal fiber]

Law had to reverse every switch we saw

[frail cradle]

why didnt he switch kaido to tama

[ruby moat]

Same reason he didn’t tp kaido into the ocean

Haki or whatever

[frail cradle]

law did cancel out doc Q’s fruit

[frail cradle]

then this personality switch surgery won’t work to imu anyways

imu is hakiman

[ruby moat]

Well we don’t know how it works

And the receiver of it being willing likely matters

For any of this

[signal fiber]

If it's a plot device it can just be overpowered

[blazing depot]

Lord Imu please save me

[ruby moat]

Like if kaido wanted to be teleported by law he probably could have let him

If I had to guess

[thick mango]

Yeah haki is the ability to resist. You can choose to let things happen

[signal fiber]

Imagine a DF changing you into something you always wanted then you accidentally get too good at haki and accidentally reverse it

That's why Croc didn't use haki

[frail cradle]

Corc didnt use haki bcs Oda didnt thought it yet

[signal fiber]

No he didn't want booba back

You just wait

[clever idol]

He didnt bcuz he doesnt have it

Hes the cocky logia they were speaking of

Hes a punk bitch who ran to fhe grandline to be a big fish in a small pond

[frail cradle]

ace was

akainu said it

[clever idol]

Ace didnt run back to grandline

Akainu didnt say shit

[frail cradle]

he did

[clever idol]

And ace has obs and armament

So ur just incorrect

Now hush and let me finish this croc slander

[clever idol]

Yea he didnt call him a cocky logia

Im specifixally referrjng to what pekoms said

So hush

[frail cradle]

nah

i’ll be trolling

[ruby moat]

https://tenor.com/view/gommehd-gommemode-gomme-troll-silly-gif-15669127

[clever idol]

fine

[signal fiber]

Jinbe pfp slandering Croc. I'd laugh if it wasn't so absurd. Sand transcends all

[ruby moat]

Oh wtf

I always thought that was a fat bird plushy

[ionic palm]

you thought that was a bird ?🥀

[ruby moat]

no its reasonable trust me

[clever idol]

Water luffy beat his ass

Be so fr

Jinbe thrashes croc once hes done putting the boxes in storage and out the nearby fires

[clever idol]

I actually see it

U thought the sun tatoo was the beak and the goatee the eye

[ruby moat]

YES

its basically a 2 in 1 pfp

[olive flicker]

Ok

[tidal ice]

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-you're-not-yonko-level-one-piece-one-piece-meme-imu-one-piece-imu-gif-5233143544578652341

[coarse viper]

Well this is a parry

[ruby moat]

this isnt sekiro 😭 😂

[woven talon]

I was gonna say that Imu Gunko might be pullling her punches to interrogate Brook

but is that conqueror's lighting lol?

XD

it's funny how much one block is worth for a character like brook who gets nothing normally

[celest mauve]

so we've had imu and all of the gorosei fail to stop sabo from escaping

then we've also had imu effortlessly tanking six top-tier attacks and essentially no-diffing xebec

and now we also have imu not being able to break brook's shield with a presumably ACoC-infused attack

dude is all over the place as far as feats go

[wanton sundial]

imu has to be asleep for demon time to arrive

its just like cavendish

[celest mauve]

mf should sleep more then

[wanton sundial]

the new dawn scares him cause thats when he wakes up

[hot helm]

Imu is sleeping beauty maybe

[wanton sundial]

and thats when hes weaker

[celest mauve]

oh yeah he also had loki go "wtf is that crazy haki" but still gets blocked by brook

ok

[tough igloo]

within first couple of chapters in 2026 , we got Imu haki attack getting blocked by Brook 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 Oda you madman

[woven talon]

It probably depends on his vessel

I imagine a Gorosei vessel is stronger than Gunko because of the deeper contract

And the old man buff

From being in a manga

— as for Sabo escaping, let’s chalk it up to an off screen speed buff to Sabo

And Imu was up a million stairs

It’s like when you get DoorDash and you’re upstairs vs downstairs, makes all the difference

[subtle salmon]

Stairs upscale

Kuina stairs

Imu stairs

[hot helm]

Maybe gunko resisted when Imu attacked brook so haki was not crazy

But Imu a fraud so idk

[subtle salmon]

Gunko is just weaker than gorosei as a vessel

[oak agate]

I like how we moved from blackbeard being a fraud to imu being a fraud

[subtle salmon]

Imu ruling the world for almost a millennium is NOT fraudulent

[hot helm]

Yeah Imu feels more like a minor inconvenience than a threat

[oak agate]

My guy domi reversed the strongest fleet and is still being called minor threat 🤷‍♂️

[hot helm]

All Imu has ever done has failed, failed to kill sabo, failed to ...

[fossil nimbus]

sabaody felt more threatening than elbaf rn

[hot helm]

Back stories don't count

[honest garden]

Imu -1 diffed Rocks bro

[subtle salmon]

Oda is just setting up to escalate the situation next chapter

[oak agate]

Isnt that current Elbaf?

[honest garden]

Not only did Imu defeat Rocks in one hit, but Imu turned him into a slave

[hot helm]

Almost every major problem in elbaf got solved this chapter

[subtle salmon]

Everyone overreacting but the situation is obviously gonna get worse or Luffy and Loki will have nothing to do

[dense rapids]

Had a dream Brook blocked an acoc attack from Imu

Chapter out yet?

[celest mauve]

it's because luffy is a yonko and is in zero danger currently, as opposed to him being relative fodder and always in danger in sabaody

the amount of tension scales directly with how much danger luffy is in

[hot helm]

Imu is only strong when all the pre requitistes are met for him to be strong, which is be in Ur homeland, be emotionally rattled and have a curse mark

[subtle salmon]

Any straw hat

Brook is in severe danger rn

[oak agate]

In the spoilers i remember reading sanji did something

Did i skip a page?

[subtle salmon]

But he’s already dead

[hot helm]

I don't think there was a sanji oanel

[celest mauve]

nah I would say luffy is the determining one here, he's by far the strongest and if even he's in trouble, then things are definitely tense

[subtle salmon]

He found Nami and her group

[stone tulip]

Adding onto this the final saga in general is inversion of Sabaody tone wise cause the straw hats are gonna stay victorious in the final arc.

[tawny panther]

Imu formula never changes ..

shows up , tries to attack & get blocked , get attacked , regen , domi reversi …

I wonder does Imu know how to actually fight like other top tier combatants 🤔

[subtle salmon]

Imu in the flesh might

[hot helm]

Wasn't the main threat children being super close to be trafficked?
This chapter that threat just got completely removed in a very 'boring' way.

[ruby moat]

they're likely just gonna try to kill the children now

so the threat just changes

[honest garden]

Don't let One Piece fans learn about third act low point...!

[stone tulip]

That’s not the only threat though, there is still is domi reversi giants and nightmare monsters around

Plus Imu potentially crashing out by the end of the arc to try and nuke Elbaf

[hot helm]

The main domi reversied giants just cut themselves 😭

[honest garden]

Too bad they don't have regen

[stone tulip]

The can regenerate tho

[subtle salmon]

They could still find another way to transport the children

[stone tulip]

Mushy they do

[honest garden]

If they give the children demon markings they can be teleported right?

[honest garden]

That was ironic, my bad

[hot helm]

They're being sarcastic

[stone tulip]

Couldn’t tell

[honest garden]

Oh yeah it wasn't ironic it was sarcasm

[oak agate]

Doesnt imu need to be there physically for it?

[stone tulip]

My bad then

[honest garden]

I dunno how it works

[subtle salmon]

Imu can’t hand those out that easily

[stone tulip]

Possible tbh

[subtle salmon]

Or else there would be more than the maximum 13 holy knights

[honest garden]

Imu just shot Broggy (or Dorry), but I dunno if that contract allows them to become a teleporting guy

[rare ivy]

Imu can’t even control Gunko properly

[honest garden]

I mean the lowest level

[subtle salmon]

Nah i think that’s just dominance not a contract

[honest garden]

Or can the lowest level not teleport?

[hot helm]

I js feel like Imu is a "sly villain" done wrong but idk maybe I'm js being a hater think I'll have to wait a few more chapters

[stone tulip]

But yeah even though children are safe from being trafficked away that’s not gonna change the fact that there are other threats around

[rare ivy]

Big help is also here

Luffy and Loki will join the fight soon

[subtle salmon]

Which is why the situation is gonna get bad

[hot helm]

The normal citizens are defeating nightmares,
The threats felt like threats because the heavy hitters (Luffy, Loki, zero, etc) were unavailable, now that all of them are fighting, and gunko is defying Imu, the conflicts feel solved pretty much

[stone tulip]

Yeah Domi Reversi is different than the abyss mark

[rare ivy]

But kids safety can be assured now

[subtle salmon]

They’re not solved at all this chapter is just the calm before the storm

[hot helm]

Imu will see luffys Nika form and fall in love and op ends

[subtle salmon]

Only the ship was a huge win, the nightmares are still a threat, Gunko is not completely breaking free either

[rare ivy]

With Strawhats freed, Luffy, Zoro, Loki and other giants joining the fight, it’s going to be an all out war soon

[hot helm]

Loki gon destroy the nightmares

[dense rapids]

Ngl every nightmare has gotten one shotted

[stone tulip]

Doesn’t change the fact that the nightmare monster can easily be revived by Killingham so unless he gets defeated they are still a threat, as for Gunko she still isn’t free as long as Imu tries to control her body so until there is a way to severe the connection between the two then that’s also still a threat too.

[dense rapids]

Just take out Killingham 😭

[subtle salmon]

Is it even possible for Brook to get domi reversi

[dense rapids]

They’re not even thinking about him

[hot helm]

Most by not so elite fighters that too

[rare ivy]

These nightmares will disappear into thin air

[subtle salmon]

Im interested in how competent he is fighting wise

[dense rapids]

We will see next chapter I assume

[stone tulip]

Plus the possibility of Imu potentially nuking Elbaf off the map by the end of the arc too

[subtle salmon]

Shamrock should’ve stayed at Elbaf 😭💯

Would’ve been peak

But Oda is clearly saving him for later

[rare ivy]

Luffy gonna slaughter Killingham I can just feel it

[stone tulip]

That’s Zoro’s fight

Luffy will take care of Imunko while Sanji fights Sommars

[subtle salmon]

He might do ts if he realizes there’s no chance of recruiting them

[rare ivy]

Yeah Zoro can do it pretty easily too

[stone tulip]

The rest of the straw hats are gonna split into groups and fight against either demon giants or the nightmares

[hot helm]

With Loki fighting the nightmares it's difficult to be threatened by them or kilingham (plus the kids are awake),
And for Imu, B4 this chapter resisting Imu was considered almost impossible, even Harold and Rocks couldn't do it, but with gunko n brook looks like oda has sum other plans, even if he doesn't Luffy should handle it
Leaving us only with the holy knights, holy fraud knights

[stone tulip]

Yeah Imu is gonna crash out by end of the arc

[rare ivy]

Luffy and Loki might fight Imu/Gunko

[hot helm]

Imu a usopp victim

[rare ivy]

Usopp is busy taking credit for other’s success

[ruby moat]

🐐

[subtle salmon]

Idk if imuko is strong enough to even make this a tough battle

Brook shield level attacks

[rare ivy]

True

[hot helm]

Bb over Imu atp

[stone tulip]

Again missing the point of how Killingham’s powers work in general cause no matter how many times you take down the nightmares they are still gonna be revived thanks to Killingham’s powers, plus the holy knights are still a threat to straw hats even including Sanji and possibly Zoro too, like Zoro would need to control his conquerors first like Gaban said and Sanji needs to unlock conquerors in order to fight the holy knights.

[mortal onyx]

Usopp solos all

[subtle salmon]

BB will eventually be over Imu

He’s the final villain probably

[hot helm]

Nah

My headcanons better

[stone tulip]

So deadass ignoring the actual story, okay 😭

[mortal onyx]

I suppose it will be a 3-4 way war, and not 1v1 s

[subtle salmon]

Yeah but i mean like Luffy’s final fight

[stone tulip]

To be fair Imu is fighting against the same dude who fought one of Yonko, this is less of Imu downscale and more like Brook upscale.

Plus not the first time straw hats were able to block an attack against stronger opponents especially if they are Haki users.

[hot helm]

Ts feel like a calm b4 another backstory

[mortal onyx]

The marines, rev army, bb, cross guild, straw hats with loki.. and the hold knights

[mortal onyx]

Maybe

[mortal onyx]

It's supposed to be that way

[stone tulip]

Plus keep in mind that Imu is possessing Gunko, Imu himself isn’t present physically too

[subtle salmon]

Physical imu solos elbaf

[mortal onyx]

I don't think Imu loses yet. Maybe luffy and bb will join hands to beat her and then fight against each other

[hot helm]

This Ur goat?

[wanton sundial]

unrequited love to both lily and vivi

[hot helm]

One sided lover Imu

[stone tulip]

I think it’s gonna be as chaotic as Marineford but Imu might be the final villain where Luffy has to face off

But it’s gonna be multiple faction war like Marineford was

[mortal onyx]

Yes i agree

[wanton sundial]

handles gunko

[mortal onyx]

It will be more than marine Ford

[hot helm]

I like how we're completely ignoring brooks potential backstory and gunko killing someone

[hot helm]

Who's dat

[stone tulip]

That’s what Oda had said

[stone tulip]

We talked about that hours ago, you might have missed it

[hot helm]

I was asleep

[subtle salmon]

Oda spamming the father killing plot point

[rapid ridge]

Shuri shuri lady

[mortal onyx]

You forgot this guy. He's a og

[stone tulip]

But yeah Brook’s extra backstory is something I had been waiting for years

[hot helm]

Sorry I have dementia

[stone tulip]

Fair lol

[mortal onyx]

Wait he has more backstory

[subtle salmon]

Fr

[mortal onyx]

I would really love if buggy is actually yonko level.. and was just putting up an act

He was on Roger's ship

[rapid ridge]

Going through confusion

buggy, go handle mihawk!

Lololol

Listen to imu sama

no

[hot helm]

Gunko/Imu is usopp victim im willing to bet

[rapid ridge]

I'm trying to interact by my data reception is unbelievably shite

[sturdy shale]

Yo

Wsp

[mental lake]

More like a brook victim

[outer flax]

Parallel between loki and gunko
Both killed their father

[dense rapids]

Plot twist

Gunko father didn’t die

[outer flax]

Gunko father is brook ship captain

Probably

[dense rapids]

Naw Brook thinks he’s dead

So wouldn’t be yorki

If Gunko’s dad is still alive he would be 100+

[outer flax]

Bro dead

Dang

Cmon 😭

I get the Imu plush because he actually is cute but the Gorosei????

Also I like how Ju Peter's still blonde everywhere outside of that one volume cover

[prisma yacht]

Why they looking at me like that

[muted hedge]

what about Garling

[ashen perch]

well he prob wasnt a Gorosei in the anime when these were designed I guess

[muted hedge]

true

i really wonder who Brook's mentor was

whom Gunko later killed

[frail kindle]

Considering she's a princess and he called her patricidal, it's probably the king he served

[muted hedge]

reminds me of Loki and Harald in a way

[frail kindle]

I wonder if imu took over gunko and killed the king

[muted hedge]

i'd guess so, given Gunko doesn't seem to hate Brook when she snaps back to her original thoughts

[rapid ridge]

Shuri is Noland's granddaughter

It's so obvious

Smh my head

[hoary steppe]

The fuck

WG propaganda is real

[frail cradle]

its nice to see these bois sitting on my desk

[sturdy steeple]

Nusjuro looks so stupid as a plushie

It’s just a bald ball

Like what

[grand flower]

Lolol

[rapid ridge]

I didn't know they made a figurine for kuro

[buoyant walrus]

gg

[muted hedge]

first Eris investor i've seen

[grand flower]

All jokes aside what Brook did was cool as hell

[lavish ocean]

I'm more interested in brook than anything else in this arc rn

[prisma yacht]

Bro was crawling towards gunko 😭

[lavish ocean]

he didn't ask gunko for her panties. he asked big mom tho. he HATES Gunko/Shuri whoever they are

[prisma yacht]

he really hates her

[trim lily]

his body is made of pure spite for her

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-usopp-blowing-kisses-usopp-kiss-usopp-kiss-usopp-blowing-kisses-gif-21311474

Now that our king is released

It's only a matter of time

[trim lily]

idk why you posted a gif of usopp but yeah i’m hyped to see jinbe do something too

[prisma yacht]

[ornate tartan]

matter of time for him to do what exactly @prisma yacht

[trim lily]

his plan is gonna go crazy just you wait

[prisma yacht]

To do the needful and stand above all!!

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-dressrosa-god-usopp-god-usopp-gif-26183943

[grand flower]

I wonder if Imu possessed Gunko back then and killed her dad in her Hody

Body*

Or if Gunko’s dad was Reversi’d or signed a covenant

Patricidal prijcsss

Princess

Loki was the patricidal prince

[muted hedge]

i think that Imu took control of Shuri and kill the father

probably due to Imu wanting whatever that kingdom had

[grand flower]

Gunko and Shamrock both have things in common with Loki now

[muted hedge]

yeah

[grand flower]

Patricide for Gunko, DF weaponfor Shamrock

[muted hedge]

speaking of Shamrock, i am 99% sure that Shamrock has another power outside of his Cerberus as well

just like Loki and his legendary fruit as well as Ragnir

[grand flower]

I wonder how Cerberus gets back to him

[muted hedge]

seems to just ooze back into the sword

[grand flower]

Interesting that it’s Awakened

It looks really cool

[muted hedge]

it looks very similair to the forms which the gorosei also have

the only difference is that it's not summoned via a pentagram

[ornate tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/neyslides-shamrock-shamrock-neyslides-gif-15058443689036408472

[muted hedge]

this may just be me looking too deep into things, but i find it very interesting that the Cerberus shares the ringed eyes

though i guess that's a common trait amongst most of the awakened fruit users

[ornate tartan]

he’s a goat

[lavish ocean]

yall where is Franky
he was with ripley right? I think that was her name
and now he's just gone
did we see him these last two chapters?
where is my goat 😢

[gloomy tree]

He is there doing stuff, the focus just is on other things, maybe he is going to the fire or he is trying to save people

[lavish ocean]

He's doing something important 🥹 I want another Brook moment where we see that Franky just left and then later we see him doing something super cool
but yeah chances are it'll just be something that the plot needs and he's free to do it like putting out the fire :p

[grand flower]

I think the black clouds is cause Imu modified(read: corrupted) their DF forms

White clouds are a natural awakening

I think Lucci and Kaku got theirs done as an initiation into CP0 but not to the same extent

I wonder if lucci’s tattoo is gonna end up being a covenant Cipher Pol all get…

[hybrid hazel]

Holy knights were created to be slimed out by king Loki

That's the only purpose they hold

[grand flower]

I’m crying

[urban lodge]

Welcome back Socrates

[grand flower]

I can’t wait for Hajrudin to pop out

[ornate tartan]

next chapter

his crew got a powerful move

[muted hedge]

i would buy that if Kilingham didn't have white clouds for his devil fruit form

[muted hedge]

could be interesting

[grand flower]

I think that means he awakened naturally which is interesting

Why him

Is that why he looks like Maffey?

[muted hedge]

i think the cloud necklaces around the zoan forms choose their color based on what Oda thinks is the most appealing for them, lol

[grand flower]

Mmm

[muted hedge]

speaking of Maffey, i'm baffled that she wasn't a Rimoshifu

[grand flower]

Perhaps she is now

[muted hedge]

are you suggesting that the St. Satchels family had a run in with the St. Rimoshifu family and their love child was... Killingham

[glacial bear]

Yeah. I think her name was satchel right?

Like her family name

[muted hedge]

yeah

[grand flower]

Yeah maybe she married a Rimoshifu and killingham is their son

[muted hedge]

could be

[prisma yacht]

Lesgooooo

[grand flower]

Where we goin twin

[dense haven]

any brook fans in chat

[remote maple]

does anyone not like brook?
