[formal wagon]

#manga will be ruined by the heroines trailer for like 2 months

[pulsar path]

It's hard to remember I mean

Lol 🤣

It's got good animation

[distant vine]

No, it changed with Post Timeskip to We Go, then Over the Top with Wano, then Us with Egghead

[pulsar path]

So maybe they just didn't want to spoiled the new song

Isn't she kidna huge right now

[rose rune]

wait... did Franky's thighs get thicker or am I tripping?

[pulsar path]

Maybe vegapunk prefers thick Franky

Made him new thick waist

[frigid gulch]

Loki’s voice is perfect

Hopefully they recast Rocks

[pulsar path]

Damn lol

I guess they don't have the scape goat like they did vega

[rose rune]

I hope they use the jinbei VA and make him speak like Moria

[pulsar path]

Ahh cus moria and xebec are both from God valley 🤔

[pulsar path]

The god valley accent

[rose rune]

no, because it would piss people off

[pulsar path]

So brook wrote the book while traveling with rumbars im guessing

[dense rapids]

Louie Armstrong was a jazz ambassador who traveled the world with his music

[wraith mantle]

Vote

[pulsar path]

But but moria is the best!

[rose rune]

I went for maffey today

[dapper tree]

Gross

[prisma yacht]

I'll do gerd today

[rose rune]

yeah, Moria is great, but people want rocks to be a bad ass

[stone tulip]

The fact that Elbaf’s opening is being done by the same person who did DanDanDan season 2 opening makes it already peak

[dapper tree]

GOLDEN BOY

[dapper tree]

Finally been so long

[rose rune]

he's shining like his golden locks

[prisma yacht]

Actually i shldnt vote for gerd today

[dapper tree]

They refused to give us gold until today

[prisma yacht]

I shld vote for my favourite character of all time

[wraith mantle]

Can someone pin the song

[prisma yacht]

But then I have already voted for Luffy bb garp

[wraith mantle]

[wraith mantle]

[stone tulip]

No problem

[prisma yacht]

But they're like my fav

[pulsar path]

Oda deff wa sloikin at that cover man they literally give off the same energy and him being like the most famous trumpet player

[prisma yacht]

I shld vote for my fav character on my bday right

[rose rune]

what's really funny to me is that Oda felt the need to hide brook's face for a grand reveal later

[prisma yacht]

[sly belfry]

vote for paulie

[pulsar path]

Also brook gives off like joyboy/ the ship sprite vibes idk just the way they abstract his eyes but keep his smile

[dapper tree]

Never

[dense rapids]

Could be a Davy

[rose rune]

back when brook was evil

[muted hedge]

what a bop

[pulsar path]

Wait isn't tbrooks bounty 88

At one time

[stone tulip]

It’s peak

[blazing mantle]

33 million

[iron oriole]

33, 83, 383

[dapper tree]

He still is

[stone tulip]

It’s live performance, actual recording would sound better

[muted hedge]

just vote for Cerberus

[stone tulip]

Based on the preview at least

[dapper tree]

He's a bird

[wraith mantle]

No wonder it was mid

/j

[iron oriole]

Live always sounds ehh imo

[prisma yacht]

HOLY MOLY SILVER DOFFY

[iron oriole]

Very hit or miss

[pine scaffold]

One piece anime is finally coming back

[bold sonnet]

Gojo voicing Loki

W

[urban lodge]

Average Rocks fan sexism smh

[pine scaffold]

he will never be him

[iron oriole]

Works much better than i expected tbh

[bold sonnet]

Bro is about to be number 1 Loki glazer

[wraith mantle]

Rocks is not sexist

[ashen sable]

i love live action

[wraith mantle]

Bro risked his life for a woman

[bold sonnet]

[dapper tree]

He already had that phase

[bold sonnet]

[wraith mantle]

And her chud son

[bold sonnet]

😭

[muted hedge]

Loki is objectively better than Gojo

[pine scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/gojo-satoru-hottie-silly-fortnite-true-heart-gif-4430320679770831136

[pulsar path]

Aww

[pine scaffold]

is Loki in fortnite?

didnt think so.

checkmate

[pulsar path]

Too bad would have been cool to match his age

Hero will they ever put Loki in any game

Pirate warriors 5

[blazing mantle]

Bounty rush

[pulsar path]

Lol

He just steps on people

[blazing mantle]

He’ll be in bounty rush

[final trench]

The new onepiece rpg

[pulsar path]

I never played the b rush

[blazing mantle]

Good

[pulsar path]

Lol 🤣

[iron oriole]

Mid mobile gacha slop

[pulsar path]

That's gotcha

[blazing mantle]

That game will actually take years off of your life

[final trench]

Thats why i deleted dokkan

[pulsar path]

Fortnite is series

[muted hedge]

damn watch out for Fortnite spoilers, lol

[wraith mantle]

I will ping red and let him decide

[pulsar path]

Inoakge dokkan for a lil

[pulsar path]

I can hear his voice singing the song it's all raspy 😭

[iron oriole]

Bro sounds like he needs to constantly clear his throat

[rose rune]

wait, wrong song

sorry buggs

[blazing mantle]

Does gaban have time to teach the crew haki now

[prisma idol]

Whats the connections

[muted hedge]

sure and in the midst of their training Imu shows up

[prisma idol]

?

[rose rune]

it mentions trees

[blazing mantle]

They’ll go to the heaven layer and eat the fruit of wisdom to instantly learn armament and observation

[muted hedge]

also what the fuck is going on here

[pulsar path]

Also could vegapunk insert the data into there brain as well

[muted hedge]

Oda give us a hint at least

[pulsar path]

What was the hint?

[blazing mantle]

It all burned down

[muted hedge]

no, he should give us a hint

since it's not the food shortage

[blazing mantle]

Maybe

[pulsar path]

Ohh yeah

[blazing mantle]

But what does vegapunk know about haki

[pulsar path]

He could copy scooper

[bold sonnet]

Just feed em cola

[pulsar path]

And input the date only Sanji lmao

[tawdry musk]

Imu: Gorosei, Mu will step out the Holy Land for a while
Gorosei: !?
Scene pans to Cross Guild

??? : Well well, look who's here after 800 years
Imu: I am here to exchange the favor you owe me... Buggy

[pulsar path]

If it some how has something to do with bunny I'll be so happy

I love bunny

[muted hedge]

imagine if Mihawk pulled up

to pay a family visit

[blazing mantle]

You forgot to add the one month break

[prisma yacht]

Internal feud?

[pulsar path]

What if Imu uses cross guild or some shit

Like Domi a nother crew

[blazing mantle]

It got burned up

[prisma yacht]

Some cds went out of hand and destroyed buildings

Demanding their "freedom"

[muted hedge]

Mu: "Son, thou hast decided to show thee face after long."

[pulsar path]

This would be really interesting holy shit

[prisma yacht]

Lol

[ashen sable]

wtf?

[prisma yacht]

Also since the hks were chill

I don't really think it's an attack by outsiders

[muted hedge]

it's definitely something more given Shamrock had to be sent back

[wraith mantle]

Predictions for next chapter?

[muted hedge]

if it's just the Celestial Dragons going on a rampage any Holy Knight would be able to deal with it

[prisma yacht]

Considering he's one of the most reputable guys

[pulsar path]

But yeah shamrock is the only person who can execute CDs

[tawdry musk]

Imu is at a Burger King

[pulsar path]

Cus he's El judgo

[prisma yacht]

His presence could have calmed cds down

[pulsar path]

I mean if you guys really wanna know he's at tekking 101 house

[wraith mantle]

Why

[pulsar path]

The chapters are just a year late

[muted hedge]

or... Shamrock transformed into the hellfire serpent and ate them

[vernal ravine]

imu is training with rayleigh ( gotta learn haki again )

[prisma yacht]

Also he can just kill a dozen of them pigs honestly no one wld ask anything

[tawdry musk]

hes at the other holy land ofc

[prisma yacht]

....

realsies

[pulsar path]

Honestly i hope this gives us some time to include some other characters maybe

[prisma yacht]

other new chars?

[muted hedge]

for real though i am almost 100% certain that Shamrock has the hellfire serpent fruit

[pulsar path]

Na I mean like and I can't believe I'm saying this

Maybe explain kid

Law

Maybe bb shows up tbh

I think people with strong haki will feel Imu descend maybe

[muted hedge]

Shamrock vs Loki
Jormangundr vs Nidhoggr
Cerberus vs Ragnir

it would be perfect

[prisma yacht]

Me when rocks being gunko's father

[pulsar path]

And I get the feeling it might take Imu some time to get there idk if he can use the gates

[final trench]

Facts ragnir vs cerberus would be too tuff

[pulsar path]

I think we could get a strongest of this generation vs Imu here

[final trench]

Although i want zoro to fight shamrock 😔

[balmy field]

we dont have jormungandr yet and jormungandr is LOKI son in norse lol

[pulsar path]

Collin get s jornyngsndr fruit

Man I butchered that

[muted hedge]

the hellfire serpent is probably Jormangundr and in the mural it was depicted fighting against Nidhoggr, so it would make sense for Shamrock to be the hellfire serpent as he is pitted against Loki

[pulsar path]

I still think that's pluton tho

Personally

[prisma yacht]

Like in elbaf?

[pulsar path]

Yeah lol

[balmy field]

there is a hebi hebi no mi model jormungandr ig in OP gng

[muted hedge]

Jormangundr was also defeated by Thor in the norse mythos which could connect to the fight with Loki and Shamrock given Loki has a lot of Thor aspects being able to wield lightning and all that

[prisma yacht]

I don't know about law but kid has chances

[muted hedge]

also there's a snake out there which is called Cerberus

[prisma yacht]

Bb is probably making moves in the outer world

[balmy field]

yeah ik that all that was during Ragnarök

[pulsar path]

I just don't know where law is going and they are kidna near elbaf? I mean I think we will run into him sooner than later

[prisma yacht]

There's a chance dragon might show up

And vivi

[pulsar path]

I think he should attack holy land right now

[muted hedge]

yeah

[pulsar path]

Even tho he doesn't know but

[muted hedge]

also, Jormangundr could be the blood soaked serpent which Dory and Broggy were talking about

[final trench]

Dragon needs to give the world his answer

His answer is luffy

[muted hedge]

if it's the natural enemy to Nidhoggr based on the mural

[pulsar path]

BB about to go get the serphimsn

[muted hedge]

Nidhoggr which was safekept in Elbaph for so long

[pulsar path]

And I'm going to guess laffiette is just spying on the wg some how

I dead ass think he Lucci bird lmaon

[prisma yacht]

Ilma I'm also thinking that hinokizu will appear as well

Like in elbaf itself

[muted hedge]

Loki versus Shamrock

[dense rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/imu-one-piece-gif-10670798720414716467

[final trench]

Would be tuff

[pulsar path]

I think it would be fun to have to search for him but yeah I mean tbh I think it might be gabben but I'm a lot of people don't like that idea

[prisma yacht]

Well I have shanks as hinokizu

So it's only natural for him to come here

[pulsar path]

I mean they have Saturns likeliness now and idk if they. An reprogram then to forget Saturn but

[pulsar path]

Shanks makes a lot of since but if he leaves to early it leaves every one without a way of getting the last glyph

[muted hedge]

another thing regarding Shamrock possibly being the hellfire serpent is that him being the world serpent while Imu represents the earth would be very fitting

[muted hedge]

Garling being the moon, Shamrock the serpent which envelops the earth and Imu is the said earth

[pulsar path]

I'm wondering if Norse mythology will carry past elbaf

[muted hedge]

feels like the final battle will have a lot from norse mythos

as it's basically being built up as Ragnarok

[final trench]

Garling might be typhon

Father of all monsters

[pulsar path]

Maybe but it feels like they sometimes leave the lore per island sometimes that's all

[muted hedge]

i think so too

[final trench]

The 100 head beast

[pulsar path]

But than again Norse vikings major pirates so

[muted hedge]

all of his heads should have different hairstyles based on the various phases of the moon

[prisma yacht]

Hmmm

[pulsar path]

That also might be why he hasn't gone for it yet tho

And why he was kinda like put off by kid showing up

Like shit I'm not where I wanna be

Bro got a drinking problem for real

One piece is late cus if shanks lazy ass

[cerulean stump]

guys i think imma read dressrosa instead of watching

[final trench]

That would be crazy

But yea if its not typhon its probably a were wolf zoan

[pulsar path]

I just watched all 125 episodes ....

Yeah read it lmao

[cerulean stump]

i cant with the pacing its atrocious 😭

[muted hedge]

Fenrir?

[final trench]

Maybe

[cerulean stump]

i hope whole cake has better pacing

[prisma yacht]

No

Read the manga for wci as well

[ornate tartan]

no one is coming to elbaph

[prisma yacht]

[ornate tartan]

people are busy doing other things in the world

[cerulean stump]

aight

what abt wano

[muted hedge]

read the manga for everything

and then watch the anime for the moments you enjoyed in the manga

[pulsar path]

It's better but .... Still pretty bad but yes it's a lil bit better

[prisma yacht]

You can switch to anime in wano for fights

[cerulean stump]

aight but for now i jst wanna finish dressrosa without going insane

[final trench]

Shanks is

At the end

[icy wolf]

just read the manga bro

the anime is bad

[final trench]

True

[icy wolf]

should not be 1100 episodes

[grand flower]

Dragon too

[final trench]

Dressrosa anime is the worsr

[grand flower]

Before the end

[prisma yacht]

binge reading dressrosa is like once in a lifetime experience

[final trench]

Niggas did too much fuckery

[prisma yacht]

enjoy it!!

[icy wolf]

manga fights are hard to read alot of the time so i would watch them in the anime maybe

coloured manga one piece is very beautiful

[soft tangle]

Still only one gold BB 😔

[icy wolf]

should be like 500 max

[cerulean stump]

yea idk why i kept watching the anime i read thriller bark and acc enjoyed it

[final trench]

Zorojuro 😏

[icy wolf]

my first time reading any manga was egghead-elbaf

[final trench]

https://tenor.com/view/zoro-vs-nusjuro-gorosei-nusjuro-egghead-one-piece-gif-15268572393946402842

[icy wolf]

and i read it all in a day it was awesome

[prisma yacht]

Well the pre ts isn't really that bad compared to post in pacing

So it's understandable

Also pre ts had a fucking humour going on in the anime

[cerulean stump]

yea i always thought the pacing was gonna get better as i progress but ig i was jst wrong

[prisma yacht]

Which was too wholesome

[pulsar path]

Yeah ptime skip actuay does more than one chp an episode

[icy wolf]

pre timeskip pacing is still horrible

[prisma yacht]

Yeah fmi punk hazard can really suck up

lol

[icy wolf]

to this day the pacing is still horrible bro

it will never be fixed

[pulsar path]

It's really not ore episode like 300

Pre

[icy wolf]

1 chapter per episode will never be ok

its criminal

[pulsar path]

It wasn't

[muted hedge]

[cerulean stump]

man fuck FMI 😭

[icy wolf]

should have watched fmi remake bro

[dense haven]

what is kenjiro tsudo known for

[icy wolf]

i watched it and i thought fmi was the best arc

[prisma yacht]

Um also I just remembered

[pulsar path]

Oh yeah lol but that's how shounen was done sadly

[icy wolf]

it was seriously a life saver

[icy wolf]

yeah ik

[cerulean stump]

idk why i didn't

but oh well

[prisma yacht]

You shldnt actually be here

[pulsar path]

It sucks man but wit piece

[soft tangle]

Think of all the SBS’s and Cover pages you’ve missed

[prisma yacht]

There are alot of spoilers u might want to avoid

[dense haven]

zoro dies

[dark nymph]

The Elbaf preview trailer looks mid

[soft tangle]

Holy voice acting merchant

[cerulean stump]

yea im never here jst wanted to get opinions on if i switch to manga or not

[pulsar path]

Always manga but anime is nice

[cerulean stump]

but yea i think im switching

[pulsar path]

Also

They have color manga

[dark nymph]

mfs get slandered for having a job now

[pulsar path]

But its not the whole series

[dense haven]

is that it?

[prisma yacht]

Upto wano ending

[dense haven]

the way the post talked about I thought dude was the second coming

[muted hedge]

haven't your heard his works?

[dense haven]

the bb voice actor is much better and hes been in the series for way longer

[icy wolf]

nanami and kishibe are goated

and that mha dude is alright

[dense haven]

op always had good voice acting

[dark nymph]

wit piece will fall short

[dense haven]

doffy va too

[muted hedge]

Kenjiro Tsuda was introduced to me through Ryuga

amazing performance

[prisma yacht]

Doffy's va goated

Spice btw

[dark nymph]

I hope they just recast everyone

[prisma yacht]

I got a silver doffy card

😋

[muted hedge]

i would post a video on Ryuga by Kenjiro Tsuda but it's spoilers so

[prisma yacht]

Post it in os

[stray prism]

Same

[prisma yacht]

[pulsar path]

Pretty sure they are having. A hard time picking actors

[muted hedge]

Kenjiro Tsuda also voiced Death from puss in boots

[prisma yacht]

That's cool

He was also in jojos p1

[dense haven]

doffy live action preview

[soft tangle]

Could have been a gold blackbeard vote

[final trench]

Nah bro was hanes

[stray prism]

could have been

Its ok bb doesn't need my vote

[soft tangle]

Yes he does

Bb needs you 🫵

[muted hedge]

they did not do him justice with this portrait

[dark nymph]

Luffy VA is impossible casting, everyone else can be acceptable

[dense haven]

sorry man but only rocks is getting votes this poll

[cosmic hamlet]

Agree

[dark nymph]

But apparently she already picked her successor

[dense haven]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-dance-reese-roll-blackbeard-dance-gif-16050698366915039385

[latent hamlet]

bro looks like frieren looking up meme

[soft tangle]

A rocks vote is a BB vote

If we combine their votes we’ll be top 1

[dense haven]

nepo baby

[stray prism]

What about buggy vote

[ornate tartan]

nah i doubt it, there’s a whole plot point about loki telling luffy where shanks is

I think dragon would be cool and the fanbase wouldn’t be able to say he hasn’t done shit anymore😂

Blackbeard is probably going to the holy land right now for his plan

[latent hamlet]

by that logic, we add garp + dragon for luffy

[soft tangle]

Buggy and shanks combine

[latent hamlet]

[frigid gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/xebec-rocks-d-xebec-one-piece-pirate-king-gif-11787886430296731254

[soft tangle]

Nah garp and koby

[rose brook]

poll ends in 3 months

[latent hamlet]

ace + sabo votes also go to luffy

[soft tangle]

Like, every yamato vote is a carrot vote if you think about it

[rose brook]

well more like 2 months

[urban lodge]

Carrot votes are more valid

[pulsar path]

Lol how I imagine it, imus in mid bong rip and rocks is like hey!

[prisma yacht]

Biblu votes are appreciated

[soft tangle]

Both deserve condeming

[prisma yacht]

🩷

[soft tangle]

No

That owl gonna be Shamrocks soon

[prisma yacht]

Wow what u on

[pulsar path]

I deff believe Bilbo is shamrock grandsons uncle

[dense haven]

people tryina overplay rocks in that scene like imu didn't even acknowledge his existence

https://tenor.com/view/cat-zoning-out-cat-stare-black-cat-black-cat-tiktok-stare-gif-6568742496074847242

[pulsar path]

I'm being funnnnyy you know I'm a xebec stan I won't even call him rocks it disgust me

[frigid gulch]

It was enough to etch him into his memory

[pulsar path]

Davey D. Xebec the true king of the world!!!

[stray prism]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-rocks-rocks-one-piece-rocks-d-xebec-xebec-gif-4842569528383032865

[rose brook]

blackbeard is appearing next episode right

[frigid gulch]

Still yappin about him in the present

[pulsar path]

True he does remember rocks name

[dense haven]

carried by davy clan im afraid

[urban lodge]

Nepo baby

[frigid gulch]

[muted hedge]

Imu is being bothered by insects

it's like the fly that you can't get out of your room

[pulsar path]

I hope Imu kills bb soul and mind and rocks takes it over in anger

[soft tangle]

No

[pulsar path]

Rocks is back

And he joins the straw hats cus

[muted hedge]

or just let Luffy do it

Blackbeard can watch

[stray prism]

crazy how gunkmu is over like that

Atleast Imu is descending

[soft tangle]

To holy knight tier

[dense haven]

wym over like that its just 1% of imus powers and it was enough to exhaust both luffy and loki

bro was remote mogging luffy

[frigid gulch]

Loki hasn’t actually landed a blow yet

[final trench]

Nah shanks likely has elbaf as his territory so he pulling up

[frigid gulch]

Considering he can kill HKs

[final trench]

At the farrr end

[frigid gulch]

Though it may not work anyway

[restive wedge]

Imu moving before Dragon btw

[prisma idol]

I mean they didnt do anything so I wouldnt call it a fight

[graceful grove]

No he wont.

[dense haven]

remember when people said dragon was attacking marijois

[stray prism]

Meant more the fushion of gunko and imu

[sudden dock]

Man people say imu is going to elbaf but what if he/she actually goes to punk hazard to free the galleila giants

[stray prism]

Imu just started

[prisma idol]

I mean that still is likely

[urban lodge]

Oda has no plan

[final trench]

Yea sure pal anyway

[prisma idol]

Nothing changed that

[frigid gulch]

Imu didn’t mog anything breh

[muted hedge]

they did

[frigid gulch]

0

[final trench]

Trust the insurgent serpent

[frigid gulch]

It’s a really small interaction especially if he comes down

[graceful grove]

Thought about that but domi reversi has been nullified by forest god. It will be useless

[frigid gulch]

Luffy & Loki have been transformed for a while

[sudden dock]

@graceful grove it's still weird how chopper might actually be the forest god

[pulsar path]

I can't deny it any more;

Something is going on with him

[urban lodge]

Man...

[stray prism]

Chopper arc

[frigid gulch]

Does Imu even need the abyss to travel

[urban lodge]

It's probably true at this point

[final trench]

Awakened chopper
Awakened brook
Awakened robin

[frigid gulch]

Tbh the way I’ve imagined it in my head

He basically descends from the sky or something

But who knows

[muted hedge]

he probably goes through the pentagram placed in Ouest castle

[pulsar path]

I think it I'll take Imu sometime

That's why I think we might have some people showing up

It also seems like Imu is going solo

[restive wedge]

Imu having the confidence to go Solo is scary af

[graceful grove]

https://tenor.com/view/chopper-tony-tony-chopper-moonwalk-breakdance-spin-gif-26868413

[pulsar path]

Yeah

[frigid gulch]

It’s also just possible that Imu could place an abyss himself

Wherever he needs to go

[pulsar path]

I'm guessing it's going to force a contract

[muted hedge]

they don't need to, a pentagram already is on Elbaph

[final trench]

Ye

In the castle

[muted hedge]

they'd just go through the one in Ouest castle

[pulsar path]

Yeah idk if Imu can use them tho

[final trench]

Harald made one 😔

[muted hedge]

why wouldn't they, lol

[pulsar path]

Since it seems to be its own power

[frigid gulch]

Ye but he could just spawn in in front of his main enemies

[muted hedge]

yeah which Imu is in control over

[sudden dock]

I'm so disappointed how elbaf was not usopp arc

[final trench]

Bro he got sabo and friends 🙏🏾

[pulsar path]

Idk seems to easy

[graceful grove]

Imu just saw luffy out of stamina and loki also struggling before he dipped.

[muted hedge]

Imu didn't see them struggle nor out of stamina

it's clear that they left because Gunko is too weak of a vessel

[restive wedge]

We're probably getting a second taste of that ancient Haki

[muted hedge]

Elbaph might be unrecognizable after Imu is done

[jade rain]

It would be very bad if he doesn't, both Loki and luffy aren't at Joy boy level and imu is someone who dealt with him

[muted hedge]

the Imu reveal is closer then ever before

[graceful grove]

Reread chapter. Oda literally made a point of it

[pulsar path]

Imu never delt with both of them tho

They do seem familiar with there powers

Uh

[frigid gulch]

Imu’s so nice that he’ll wait for them to recover

[pulsar path]

Could Imu be a burnt out Nika

[muted hedge]

i still don't think that's the reason

[pulsar path]

Like when the sun burns out

Doesn't the sun turn into a negative sun or something

Or a black hole.....

[restive wedge]

I think it's like Black Holes are the end stage of Sun / Matter or something weird idk Sun Lore

[pulsar path]

I believe they like can have two different forms at the end

Black dwarf

[muted hedge]

i'm thinking about buying this, though i think i'll place Sabo somewhere else

[craggy vapor]

Next chapter Gunko and Brook wake up and have a tearful reunion.

[restive wedge]

That thing doesn't even exist yet how tf are scientists predicting so far, crazy observation haki

[prisma yacht]

I can't wait for the next chapter

[final trench]

Gunko flashback

[maiden charm]

I think i can,maybe 1 more week 😈

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-sbsp-spongebob-squarepants-please-pretty-please-gif-4801086887325817411

[warm thunder]

gunko frozen in 20000foot block of ice rn

[graceful grove]

Yea i dont think thats main reason but he did see it

[muted hedge]

yeah, i stand corrected

[craggy vapor]

Sanji diable jumbes the ice

[dense haven]

imu straight out of hollow knight

[muted hedge]

true

[pulsar path]

Lmao it's so far above me I can't even compute

[royal orchid]

I thought it was Imu's foot on the right

[muted hedge]

lol

[fringe escarp]

Hyping these bums?

Hold on let me cook

Hajrudin luffy
Blue hammer guy Zoro
Gerd Nami
Goofy club bro Usopp
Road sanji

Yeah this is factual info

[fringe escarp]

You know joyboy had the fruit too

[thick mango]

i like road

he gave us legoland which i liked

[fringe escarp]

He’s entirely carried by him saving his brother 🥀

[thick mango]

legoland reminded me of the old sense of adventure/wonder, it was a good start to the arc

[fringe escarp]

Horrible intro ngl bad first impression of a giant

[thick mango]

he was a bad person in the intro but the intro to elbaf was good

[proud pivot]

Leave it to the Dragonball fan to have good ideas. Some ppl out here assuming imu gonna pull up in person

[thick mango]

i mean you cant blame them right? That is the obvious implication

i do see what youre saying that it could very well be a misdirect

[fringe escarp]

For me Legoland was probably the worst section of the arc that feels absolutely necessary for the sole reason that it makes the loki reveal that much more impactful

[thick mango]

i just like the idea of we're in a unique/weird new place and we need to explore and figure out whats going on

[dense haven]

is there any way good impression of a giant ever

don't say loki

[fringe escarp]

Legoland was basically everything I dreaded about going to elbaf all in one

Every generic ass theory of the plot

All rolled into 5 chapters

[thick mango]

for me legoland represented one piece at its best. Creativity, mystery, adventure. Exploration and discovery

[wraith mantle]

legoland was slightly boring

[fringe escarp]

I think the point of it was to show how much we’ve moved on from that era of the story

Like it is scarily consistent with how elbaf was initially believed to go

[thick mango]

its tragic for me cause what we're in now, hype lords punch each other and look very hype and strong, is so boring. I want more legoland and less battling gods

[proud pivot]

It's just hard to understand why imu would quit so soon? Like, Luffy and Loki barely hurt him so why would imu assume he couldn't defeat them in gunkos body

[wraith mantle]

you want more legoland???

thats wild

[fringe escarp]

Gunkos body isn’t imus body

[thick mango]

i want more unique settings with mysteries to discover/explore

[wraith mantle]

did you also enjoy the woods chapters in wci?

[thick mango]

probably but i cant remember that far back with specificity

[fringe escarp]

We get that in every single arc, the only difference is that we don’t have a cringe antag with early pre timeskip tier narratives

And the narratives are closer to what alabasta gave us

[thick mango]

thats my favorite part of the arcs

[fringe escarp]

The cringe antags?

[thick mango]

the exploration/discovery

[wraith mantle]

these days what i enjoy most are the emotional moments, flashbacks, and lore drops

[fringe escarp]

Yeah that hasn’t really gone away in OP we just don’t get dedicated panel time to the crew specifically charting unknown waters, and we haven’t since skypeia honestly

[thick mango]

thats part of why skepiea is so good

[fringe escarp]

And it’s fantastic in skypeia

[wraith mantle]

we got that in W7

and thriller bark?

[fringe escarp]

But to me no one piece arc comes CLOSE to this

[fringe escarp]

Definitely not water 7

[wraith mantle]

beginning of water 7 was the crew just sight seeing

[thick mango]

its usually the first phase of every arc. But it varies a lot how much that phase lasts, how interesting the setting is, etc

[fringe escarp]

That’s legit in the majority of arcs

The first part of the arc is fun exploration

Then quickly into the conflict

What’s lacking is a arc dedicated to the narrative of exploration

[thick mango]

for me exploration > lore > emotional moments >>>>>> fights

[fringe escarp]

And that’s primarily because most arcs just aren’t interested in it

[grand flower]

Yall be picking? Im greedy

[muted hedge]

happy birthday Saru

[fringe escarp]

With the exception of skypeia it’s usually handled terribly when made a more important part of the narrative

[thick mango]

pagetime is zero sum

[grand flower]

Some dogs have all the luck

[fringe escarp]

Little garden is pretty trash and if whiskey peak was any longer I’d call it trash too

Reverse mountain too but that’s too short to even have a opinion on it

That arc fr has like 3 events 😭

[thick mango]

i think we value different things, those are all pretty good arcs for me

[proud pivot]

Fishman island too

[maiden charm]

Same(idc for whiskey peak )

[fringe escarp]

That’s probably the case, for me the hardest part of the story to revisit is the majority of one piece up until alabasta

[thick mango]

whiskey peak i liked the idea of a pirate ambush town but i think the luffy v zoro fight is very dumb

[fringe escarp]

And the biggest issue? They feel the need to force a bad guy fight

[maiden charm]

Agree

[fringe escarp]

We did not need Wapol as a major antag

[pulsar path]

I mean El Imu

[spice cairn]

You know what I like?

I like One Piece

Anyone here agrees?

[fringe escarp]

No.

Fell off after syrup village

[spice cairn]

Hanafuda I like too

[pulsar path]

Imu might be a dead sun

[maiden charm]

Did "I like one piece " get banned ? I dont remember? Shi yall might not rember them either

[fringe escarp]

What 😭

[pulsar path]

We should see ace beat him

Imu is like luffys shadow

Hmm

[maiden charm]

Used to come in here everyday with a chopper pfp and say "I like one piece" thats it

[fringe escarp]

Legit you can physically feel the drop in quality for drum island the moment we get to the climax

[maiden charm]

Haven't seen them in a while

[dense haven]

chopper pfps are usually the most degenerate so I wouldn't be surprised

[fringe escarp]

Cut out the third act climax and drum island is a S tier arc

[maiden charm]

I dont remember that person being degenerate but that could just be my experience

[remote maple]

the secret to my youth?

[fringe escarp]

Honestly I think I know my actual issue with Lego land tbh

It explores nothing abt elbaf specifically in a arc where the least developed and yet most interesting aspect is elbaf itself

[thick mango]

it gives us a microcosm preview of elbaf

sure its through a particular lens that distorts its accuracy but thats still a purpose i think

[fringe escarp]

Wdym Legoland is basically just what ppl expected elbaf to be

Only for Elbaf to be a complete flip of the script

[thick mango]

and i bet when the conflict is fully over we'll be able to look back to legoland and see some winks/hints

[fringe escarp]

Like the “fake sun god” who we thought was loki doing his evil schemes and kidnapping the strawhats for his evil kingdom

Strawhats fight fodder creatures and then escape

Oh and they happened to keep gooner loki, which added to the complete unserious expectations for lokis character.

It felt like pre because it was 5 chapters of basically one piece filler

[pulsar path]

Lol

Did have a bunch of weirdos I like that

[thick mango]

i dont think i agree, i found it to be enjoyable at the time and expect it to also have value in hindsight. Buts thats fine, people enjoy different things

[fringe escarp]

Lokis reveal to me was the actual start of the arc that REALLY gave me a idea that this arc is nothing we’ve ever expected

It’s a complete tonal shift

And tbh coming off of eggheads ending and the strawhats being WAY too happy about their escape

This wasn’t what I needed personally

[wraith mantle]

yeah i wonder how legoland will tie in with the arc's climax

[fringe escarp]

I don’t see how it will honestly, it’s a really really generic narrative

[scenic dirge]

I just pretend that part was filler

[wraith mantle]

man idek what the arc's climax is even gonna look like

[dense snow]

I enjoyed that part

[fringe escarp]

Evil king pretending to be the sun god who’s also a complete meme

Strawhats have to escape fake elbaf

[wraith mantle]

maybe the arc climax will be luffy giving rodo gear 5 form

[jade rain]

We still don't know who woke up nami right? Something might come off it

[wraith mantle]

i just assume it was rodo

[dense snow]

Shs bonding and playing around with low stakss is something I digged cause them just being in high stake enviornment was becoming too common and I feel the arc beginning as perfect break from that

[fringe escarp]

Unless elbaf itself is also completely fake idk how it’s at all relevant other than being a I’d hope intentionally generic one piece premise

I honestly got that from early egghead more than this

And one of my few issues with egghead is that I wished that part was longer

[pulsar path]

I really think Oda just wanted to celebrate Lego sets lol

[maiden charm]

I Miss strawhat bonding

[formal wagon]

april approaches, as does elbaf

so they say

[pulsar path]

He's the mangaka world beta marketer

[fringe escarp]

Exploring egghead island for the short time we had plus strawhats doing fun stuff >>>> Legoland imo

[prisma yacht]

I love the early elbaf part

Actually the whole arc has been really good

[jade rain]

We don't have op lego sets right? Only LA

[pulsar path]

Yeah

They seem to have an issue with anime or something

[fringe escarp]

ESP given this is the final saga ong i cannot take anything resembling early pre timeskip anymore

[maiden charm]

Same ,I didnt care much for GV tho :/

[prisma yacht]

Btw I'm th 10 now

[maiden charm]

Let's go fronsen so proud, now i want u to attack number 3 on the enemy side

[prisma idol]

Th mid you mean

[jade rain]

GV would be better in anime i feel, toei has a chance to do it much better than the manga

[prisma yacht]

Owari da

[prisma yacht]

Th9 is the best

[fringe escarp]

Post egghead was the first time I dropped one piece outright since Wanos ending tbh

[maiden charm]

Absolutely will be better in the anime, there's no doubt.

[fringe escarp]

Not specifically because of Lego land but because eggheads ending really REALLY fuckin scared me

[prisma yacht]

Why? I loved gv

[formal wagon]

drum >

IMO

[prisma yacht]

Especially the consequences to it

[distant vine]

Yes I think

[prisma yacht]

Harald my goat man

[pulsar path]

Why?

Enis Lobby will always be the peak

[maiden charm]

It felt like a rocks glaze fest majority of the time. I loved everything besides Xebec himself which is why I said GV,cause I enjoyed the loki and harald stuff alot

And everything else with everyone else

[pulsar path]

Smh can't see the greatness that is Davey D.

[prisma yacht]

Well

Icl Rocks was wonderful in gv

[prisma yacht]

That's the most fun part

Realsies

[maiden charm]

Thats fine, ur entitled to ur opinion. I just didnt care for the nonstop Hype moments and Aura farming,plus the repetitive clashes really took my momentum away

But the interactions between the crews and other character where great. Even rocks and his interactions with his crew were great, I think it was the solo stuff I wasn't fond of

[stone terrace]

he left

[maiden charm]

Aww shame, I think he would've been excited to talk about the new chopper stuff

[fringe escarp]

Honestly I feel like if anything god valley wasn’t long enough

My biggest issue bar none with god valley was its ending

[thick mango]

see duality of man. I feel like god valley was too long

[prisma yacht]

Gimme a min tesoro I need to drink milk

[fringe escarp]

Specifically how they handled the rocks pirates

[maiden charm]

Okay,have fun 😁

[prisma yacht]

Ill tell why I enjoyed rocks and gv

[fringe escarp]

Rocks himself I have no issues with

[stone terrace]

yeah i liked him, a little unhinged but funny guy

[maiden charm]

Same, I felt like GV should've been a purely dedicated backstory,not an event among 3 different ones

[fringe escarp]

The rocks pirates just leaving rocks after all the great interactions and chemistry ESPECIALLY with the more major crewmates was woefully disappointing

I genuinely couldn’t tell you why they made it seem like Kaido was emotionally invested in god valley and the rocks pirates falling

[maiden charm]

We didn't even see barbell after the Rocks pirates charged the island

[fringe escarp]

The MF escaped with a toothy grin

[fringe escarp]

He’s in nika heaven

[fringe escarp]

See this I’ll let you cook on purely for the sentiment

[stone terrace]

i think if rocks actually sold them out to save his family their attitudes would make more sense

[maiden charm]

Gil Bastar barely spoke,Kyo was offscreened i think, and Barbell literally disappeared

[fringe escarp]

Domi rocks was severely overhated though

[fringe escarp]

If anything they were fucking FURIOUS that they had any rats on the crew to begin with

[wraith mantle]

Ok

Thoughts on Shakky plot in god valley??

[fringe escarp]

When they saw the Don fucking dead on the ground in the rain

That did NOT feel like the same crew that ran away from rocks

[fringe escarp]

Perfect

[maiden charm]

TRUE, and I wish we would've seen Big Moms reaction because the 3 kids were still there

Would've love to see her get the kids out of there

[stone terrace]

plot was fine, shakky herself i didnt really care for

[maiden charm]

Also would've like to see perospero too

And the one daughter

[fringe escarp]

Honestly the lead up to god valley and the rocks fight overall were the best parts

Rocks as a character is excellent

And a massive reason for this is his relationship with Harald

Which is the only reason why I wouldn’t cut god valley from the Harald flashback

That relationship was absolutely top tier

[maiden charm]

Loved seeing Kuma in action again too, its always a treat

[fringe escarp]

Garp and dragon got massive character buffs

INFINITELY more interesting

[maiden charm]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-god-valley-kuma-bartholomew-kuma-kuma-one-piece-gif-10939276760951958085

[fringe escarp]

Actually another issue I have

Rocks pirates and gods knights should’ve had far more screen time

Holy knights did absolutely jack shit

And we gotta remember this was before ppl seriously lost that sense of threat they had

[ornate tartan]

oda rushed back to the main story

[fringe escarp]

Which is crazy since I’d expect the Harald stuff to be rushed

And god valley extended

It sucks to pick and choose and I’d rather not

They’re both extremely valuable as narratives to me

Everything before and after god valley is S tier

Contending with Kuma for the best flashback in the story

Then following it up with the full loki fruit reveal

And jaruls haunting speech

It takes a LOT to make me feel like nika is a lesser figure to the god of war

[ornate tartan]

it would be cool if they showed us some missions harald went on

[runic dock]

Not necessary for a flashback

That’s how you know the flashback was so good , people started expecting things from it that we only ever get in present time

Forgot you were in a flashback lol just regular one piece vibes

[fringe escarp]

More Harald in general even filler

He got a weird amount of hate ngl

[runic dock]

It’s a flashback lol

We’re not meant to spend a lot of time in any part of it , and any fight is always snippets

As every flashback before it , since 1997

[ornate tartan]

I didn’t even care about the fights

I just wanted more stuff on Harald

[prisma yacht]

hello

[runic dock]

I had enough of Harald , wanted more Loki

But it is what it is

[prisma yacht]

@maiden charm

[ornate tartan]

Loki is set up to get a lot of focus throughout the rest of the story

[maiden charm]

Im here

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-gif-27706121

[runic dock]

Hopefully beyond Elbaf as well

[formal wagon]

well we'll get lots of harald, loki and more WHEN ELBAF APPEARS... THIS APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!

this april...

[runic dock]

Do not need someone so significant in Imu’s eyes to be relegated to background set piece

[prisma yacht]

why i loved gv is bcs it gave birth to so many ideologies we see from the characters which turned out to be great in future

[ornate tartan]

his connection to imu guarantees it

[runic dock]

Exactly

[ornate tartan]

nidhogg

[prisma yacht]

on part to that we see rocks paralleling with luffy as well

[formal wagon]

it seems like weevil and blackbeard might have been the same character at one point, like moria and kuma and then they were split

[prisma yacht]

their whole crew dynamic and shit completely being opposite to what strawhats are

[runic dock]

Yeah we see the birth of BM and kaidos ideologies in its early stages and how they formed their outlooks , Including how they felt betrayed by what rocks did at the end

[prisma yacht]

rocks believed he could get everything he wanted with domination

[runic dock]

Typos

[prisma yacht]

replacing domination with the same isnt helping anything

now this part was for the users

ffs

why did i say users

i meant readers

[prisma yacht]

true

including whitebeard

garp roger and dragon

ppl complain about wb stuff being weird but i find it more than enough even tho i do get the more we could have had the better

[runic dock]

Yep so much confusion at the end and it shows why they stopped talking about each other openly after it was over

WB stuff was interesting enough , I’m still laughing at Marcos dad

[prisma yacht]

rocks also showed us why a single person cant do shit against the tyrannical powers of this world

[prisma yacht]

the gil addition and shanks sidequest was too much fun

[runic dock]

That’s why crew unity is such an important point

[prisma yacht]

yes

also indirectly giving depth to blackbeard

man gv was such a masterpiece lmao

[maiden charm]

Yea i agree with all this

[urban lodge]

It makes BB worse

[runic dock]

You gotta trust your captain and all be so tight with each other that you view a betrayal as an enemy attack rather than something genuine

[dense haven]

https://klipy.com/gifs/glaze-1

[prisma yacht]

shut uo spice

[runic dock]

It makes him better because he stands out as his own unique individual rather than a rocks copy in personality

No copy paste here

[maiden charm]

Its literally the haki clashes and the aura farming that I dont like thats it, i didnt care for the rayleigh stussy plot line but it didnt bother that me as much as it did others.

[thick mango]

i agree, if bb were just rocks 2.0 it would have made bb worse but the fact that hes very different makes bb better

[maiden charm]

Loved everything else

[urban lodge]

Hypocritical ass keeps yapping about dreams while copying his dad's

[runic dock]

Being bothered by that plotline was such a psy op , it literally was just something to get characters there and then they fought for different reasons , people getting mad that characters have to get to places in a believable way

[prisma yacht]

rocks giving up his duty/role/what he has to do "the fated guy"
imu saying ur the davy jones and him replying no imnot davy jones is him accepting that he sacrificed his duty for the love of family

is how i see rocks in gv

[thick mango]

idk about dream but clearly the highest value to rocks was family, that he was willing to set aside his goals and go into what he suspected was a trap to save his family. BB is the opposite, he betrayed his family, killing his adopted brother and father to further his dream

[runic dock]

That makes him interesting! But in personality , like more evil tho sure , at least he’s not acting like a nepo baby! (Yet)

[prisma yacht]

that too gets worse once he realises in the end he couldnt even save his family

[urban lodge]

The ship name...

[runic dock]

That’s the only thing lol

[prisma yacht]

he failed everything and everyone

[runic dock]

An even then hasn’t mentioned it on screen

[maiden charm]

And thats the perfect way to view,thats how he should be viewed.

[runic dock]

Only vivre cards for whatever reason lol

[thick mango]

youre missing the forest for the trees

[prisma yacht]

all the hype and aura moments are for us to realise that domination and power alone isnt enough to change the world

[maiden charm]

Definitely, plus people always forget none of this would've happened if it wasnt for ginny and ivankov

[runic dock]

Tbh Oda probably thinking of a good place to introduce that ship name , maybe he feels the moment has passed to do so lol

[thick mango]

theres a token little nod to his dad but how he actually acts and pursues his goals is opposite to his dad

[urban lodge]

That part is cool, I agree

But it's literally impossible at this point that Rocks doesn't factor into his motivation and that's lame

[thick mango]

i dont think thats true

[prisma yacht]

this is also why i love harald and rocks friendship too much

we were given so little of it

yet it was so perfect for both of them

[maiden charm]

Same

[prisma yacht]

rocks saw harald accepting him as someone who didnt see him for what rocks was achieving/his goal/his duty or his fate however you frame it

we still see rocks constantly try to pursue harald and he just rejects them both of them were bounded by their responsibilities

harald going to kill rocks and their clash is where it peaked

they decide to go their ways for their duties

and in the end when harald heard what happened to xebec we see a fucking breakdown of harald's char

to him there was no other options anymore left , there never were but this just made him go down in the rabbit hole deeper

[urban lodge]

Maybe if Eris had died there would still be a chance that BB's objectives were truly his own, but she didn't

[prisma yacht]

what are you talking about

[urban lodge]

Continuation to this

She obviously told him what to do

[thick mango]

i dont think thats guaranteed

[prisma yacht]

ermm

[pulsar path]

I think there is still a spin on that we just gotta see BB back story

[prisma yacht]

major problem here

[pulsar path]

But we all through she died

Was going too I mean

[prisma yacht]

pls tell me why inherited dreams are bad

[urban lodge]

They're not

They're bad in this form

Directly told what to do by your parents

[prisma yacht]

we dont even know what happens with eris

[urban lodge]

Maybe that hypocrisy is intentional by Oda though so idk

[prisma yacht]

after seeing what happened to rocks

maybe thats his motivation

theres only speculation here cause in the end we dont know

[urban lodge]

She at the very least left Teach a journal or something

[thick mango]

I think its very possible she just wanted him to have a happy quiet life rather than sending him to become king of the world

[prisma yacht]

even if its being told considering the circumstances its no bullshit

[prisma yacht]

very likely to be true

[urban lodge]

Teach had to learn everything he knows from somewhere

[stone terrace]

eris being alive still would be really funny

the one mom oda saves

[prisma yacht]

if shes dead its probably for some peace wanting thing plot which caused her death

making it worse for blackbeard

[grand flower]

Nahh

[urban lodge]

That would be dumb, she clearly was in agreement with Rocks' plan

[prisma yacht]

we are only sure about him knowing one thing that is the dfs

[urban lodge]

It's implied he knows about Imu

[prisma yacht]

which she saw getting failed

she is a parent

[thick mango]

the plan just seems stupid if eris sent him on it.
My young child, go join whitebeard so that maybe sometime in the next 3 decades youll come across this destiny fruit and be able to take over the world

[brittle basin]

i will throw a tantrum like a big fat baby

[urban lodge]

The plan might have been his own but she told him about the fruit at least

[prisma yacht]

its only natural for her to not want the samething which happened with rocks for bb

[urban lodge]

Orrrrr she'd make sure Teach was actually prepared

[prisma yacht]

sure

[thick mango]

what evidence is there of that?

[prisma yacht]

its just speculations

[thick mango]

she sent him off when he was like 8-12\

[prisma yacht]

you shitting on his character on speculations

makes it worse

[thick mango]

he didnt get going till he was like 38

the finely crafted plan was to like.. wander around for 30 years?

[urban lodge]

I'd say it's more inference than speculation

[prisma yacht]

lmfao

[brittle basin]

wait. ignore my first reply to you. I thought you meant estrid, not eris. it's OK if Eris is still alive.

[urban lodge]

Yeah, we know his plans aren't exactly the greatest

[prisma yacht]

well theres more than one "inference" then

[distant vine]

Eris being alive while Ida gets plot-mandated execution

😭

[urban lodge]

But he clearly thought the fruit was so important that he couldn't do it without it

[thick mango]

right doesnt this seem kinda like a rough idea and not a finely crafted destiny quest given by a parent?

[distant vine]

Still not vibing with how Oda did that

[urban lodge]

I'm not saying Eris gave him a road map of everything he had to do

[thick mango]

if all eris had to offer was try and find this fruit. its somewhere in the world. who knows where. It would be psychotic for her to send her child to a life of piracy on this quest

[brittle basin]

Wasn't "Eris" on one of the demonic circles?

[urban lodge]

I'm saying she told him about things he'd need to do if he were to succeed where Rocks failed

[distant vine]

The only thing that makes it fruitful to me is that it gave Harald and Loki a touching moment

[thick mango]

nah thats bs pattern recognition imo

[prisma yacht]

so its not bb actually just copying everything from what he was told

[stone terrace]

something like that

[urban lodge]

Everything no but his endgoal yes

[brittle basin]

I'm going to ignore this and double down.

[thick mango]

if we accept theres meaningful information in the runes, are you excited for HLKSE?

[brittle basin]

gonna be the sickest acronym ever

[thick mango]

i cant wait for e6Ln|v to show up

[rich hornet]

To be fair, it worked perfectly. Anyways, the reason behind wandering around so much is that the entire plan hinged on the fruit

[urban lodge]

Yeah Teach knew very well the fruit was a mandatory step of the process

So yeah, betting his entire life on it makes sense

[prisma yacht]

bruh im going insane

[thick mango]

maybe but as we downgrade eris' level of influence it bothers me less and less

[prisma yacht]

i plugged my charger in but forget to turn the switch on

😭

[brittle basin]

I bet five bucks Eris gave Teach a push in the right direction with a little bit of history she learned from Rocks.

How Rocks never knew about Nika, however, is insane to me.

[prisma yacht]

omfg icon

[rich hornet]

This is all likely passed down in the Davy line

[balmy lava]

nika was probably an unknown figure before the void century that got ressurrected by joyboy talking to the giants or something

[prisma yacht]

was this ur original premise?

[urban lodge]

Is that not true lol

Yes

His dream isn't really his

And it's not comparable to other instances of inherited will

[prisma yacht]

oh ok

[balmy lava]

it would be interesting if Davy clan didnt really know Nika, but was aware of an Imu like entity over the ages.

[rich hornet]

Teach not sleeping has to borrow someone else’s dream

[prisma yacht]

how wld you know that?? maybe he had enough of this world and decided to go dwon the path of davy's

[urban lodge]

Like I said, that hypocrisy could be intentional by Oda, so I'm gonna wait and see. But I don't like where it seems to be going

[balmy lava]

yeah, like Orochi

[prisma yacht]

cause he was there and he saw everything ha[pen with his own eyes

even if he was told about the fruits

[brittle basin]

My assumtion with Rocks' intro is that he was aware of, at the very least, a secret ruler of the world. Though it would maybe be odd to me if he knew about Imu but not Nika since the fruit was used by Joy Boy, who probably knew and/or opposed Imu 800 years ago.

[urban lodge]

Completely by chance? Or because he was told about that history

[rich hornet]

I can’t think of any reason why Rocks bull rushed the flower room unless they had some foreknowledge on Imu

[prisma yacht]

maybe he always had it in him

we see doffy being mad

and his brother who had gone thru the same shit

[stone terrace]

man i hope the next chapter is a cutaway

[prisma yacht]

was alright

[stone terrace]

remember how barto just "died"

[balmy lava]

he probably wanted to see if the rumors were true, he knew he was strong enough to get in there, but not strong enough to win a 1x1 battle

[brittle basin]

if the next chapter is a cutaway, please mute Icon for 3 weeks

[brittle basin]

don't you dare do this to me oda

[prisma yacht]

bcs he was there to see what happened to his dad and possibly his mom had a tragic end as well

[balmy lava]

the fact oda drops Rocks kills an admiral before visiting Imu shows how confidant Rocks was that he was the strongest Davy in centuries, and enough to go to holy land

[rich hornet]

Let’s see what Koby’s up to

[brittle basin]

i love koby but NO

NUH UH

I need to see Imu wreck shit. kill someone, anything

[stone terrace]

the story should be coming to a close. The other players should be making moves while shit is going down in elbaf not waiting for luffy to advance the plot

[prisma yacht]

it could also be this - eris always had doubts to whether tell bb everything or not , bb knew about her hiding something , when she died he went berserk and decided to reach for the thing his mom was hiding

[stone terrace]

i guess we already see that with mariejois on fire so lets switch to their perspective

[brittle basin]

now that people have mentiond the possibility of the owl retreating to the heaven realm, it makes you wonder if that could be the case and extend the elbaf arc (though not sure what happens after imu leaves)

[rose rune]

rip nami in half

genzo unleashes, comes to kill luffy

[brittle basin]

"Nami, you are a shame to the Nerona family name." - Imu

[rich hornet]

Close. She unleashed her latent Nerona curse mark snd regenerates

[brittle basin]

Switching back to marijoa but with CDs eating each other out of desperation. Goda.

[prisma yacht]

theres a chance we dont see strawhats in the next chapter at all

[distant vine]

Kill? LMAO

[stone terrace]

thats ridiculous

[brittle basin]

that's fine as long as we get even imu and loki

[balmy lava]

Perhaps Imu needs Vivi for some reason and is going to track her down.

[stone terrace]

theyd eat the slaves first

[distant vine]

He gets his one in Cobra and thats it

[stone terrace]

THEN each other

[brittle basin]

damn. true. 🙁

[distant vine]

The rest he's Kaido-like

[brittle basin]

the slaves eat the rich CDs instead

[urban lodge]

Ok but Eris HAD to tell him about certain things, like the fruit and likely Imu too given his goal

[small ember]

Where the hell could Imu be going?

To get cigarettes?

[brittle basin]

elbaf of course

[small ember]

Yeah maybe

[balmy lava]

Viva, Elbaf, Punk Hazard

[small ember]

I know that’s what it said in the little flavor text

[dense haven]

only if bb didn't kill her before that

[small ember]

Elbaf would be interesting but it prob wouldn’t be when Luffy and co are here

Hmm

[balmy lava]

I dont think Imu is going to head right to Elbaf.

[rich hornet]

To find the one piece first. He can’t beat Luffy so totally demoralize him and steal his dream

[hot cairn]

def Elbaph

[prisma yacht]

#also-manga message tbh even if its not this, im pretty sure oda will do a good job handling his golden cards backstory

[thick mango]

elbaf is >51% but it could be a misdirect. i dont think it iwll be though

[small ember]

Imu is going to recreate Luffy’s journey 1:1

[small ember]

I’m sure eventually but right away? Idk

Maybe to clean up loose ends lol

But may be a misdirect

[urban lodge]

But where would he find it? He ran into the remains of god valley or something?

[prisma yacht]

like in a book which eris kept with her in secrecy
