If the VC was a doomed yaoi story,m…

[fringe escarp]

The moment the flashback started with zero character moments or set up for Usopp should’ve been the ultimate sign he’s done

[blazing depot]

In what world does Rocks have to do with Usopp

[trim lily]

oda finally becomes a good writer

[fringe escarp]

I disagree; Brook was the lynchpin in taking down all of the holy knights

[ruby moat]

nose

[brittle basin]

The moment Usopp was low diffed by the cat

[blazing depot]

Comic relief moment

[wraith mantle]

Netflix pressured him to make vc a yaoi story

[thick mango]

im comparing him to the average outcome not the outliers

[brittle basin]

we say comic relief. Oda was foreshadowing smh

[fringe escarp]

Ok stop being disingenuous it’s embarassing man

It was neg diff

[brittle basin]

my sweet usopp. why are you like this oda.

Usopp. Kill Gunko.

[blazing depot]

No

[ruby moat]

[fringe escarp]

I’d still say the others contributed a lot more, usopps actions only served to hurt his allies with or without the idea that he “baited” Imu

[brittle basin]

he did it once.......kind of. he can do it again (not likely)

[blazing depot]

We still haven’t learned the SAD and TRAGIC reason Gunko wears her panties out. Prepare to cry…

[prisma idol]

Triangle?

We sre past a triangle

Dont comment on my chicken scratch

[blazing depot]

Why is it red I can’t read this shit

[prisma idol]

Too lazy to change the color

[ruby moat]

damn ru colorblind

[brittle basin]

you gotta learn how to cope properly, people.

[trim lily]

i wonder if its possible to make this into a proper polygon

[fringe escarp]

It’s one thing to talk shit to gunko, it’s another to do it then have NOBODY be there to listen other than Brook.

For imu to give little to no reaction to it.

Then take out yourself and Brook in the most disrespectful move by imu

[blazing depot]

Maybe

[wraith mantle]

Imu Davy and Joyboy were the love triangle

[prisma idol]

[brittle basin]

It's just his harem

[fringe escarp]

And worst of all he’s just being a complete hypocrite

[hot cairn]

Robin managed to hold down sommers long enough for gaban to come in. AND had a great reunion chapter with Saul and some lore digging

[trim lily]

hes the third wheel

[blazing depot]

Lily JoyBoy and Davy were in a polycule. Imu wasn’t invited that’s why he was mad

[fast pagoda]

How does Gunko factor in

[brittle basin]

Is there any greater sin?

[prisma idol]

Imu tried dating Saturn but it was toxic so he "cut him off" so to speak

[blazing depot]

Now he’s gonna make a new polycule with Vivi Luffy and Teach

[wraith mantle]

I hope Imu is a human and this is just a zoan form

[fringe escarp]

Nami was basically just acting as the leader of the group against gunko, protecting the kids

And that’s by far the LEAST relevant of all the characters

[fast pagoda]

Ngl if this is the case I support Imu because he went against a polycule

[wraith mantle]

Idk if I like “Imu is from a devil race” or something like that

[fringe escarp]

Zoro helping against the domi demons and having awesome chemistry with the giants

And finally chopper.

CHOPPER is the lynchpin against the demon curse

[blazing depot]

I think Imu made a deal with some demonic force

Infinite power, no freedom

[brittle basin]

Imu being from a devil race isn't too bad. I'd prefer some moon lore mixed in if I can. However, Imu coming into contact with a demon realm ala DOOM is neat.

[fringe escarp]

I prefer a contract with the earth god

[brittle basin]

give me Doom or give me death oda

[fringe escarp]

Anime implies imu isn’t alone

[brittle basin]

anime is weeb trash though. don't do anime oda

Theres an SBS question I’m trying to find but I can’t remember where it was. I know its past drum island and before the time skip.

Does anyone know what chapter its in I can’t find it for the life of me

[runic dock]

You should hate Oda for answering them , he could just not include them lol

[quasi viper]

The answer is the reason I liked it so much it was something like “because one piece is a story about people’s dreams” and it gets me every time

[deep chasm]

Ill also hate them cuz they also put in their one chance at a questiona dn they chose that

if everyone was asking good questions oda would only have good questions to go around

[runic dock]

Probably stupid children

Like 14 year olds

[deep chasm]

L children then

[ruby moat]

u gotta mix in a good question with some bullshit so oda will answer it

thats how they got the shamrock question answered

Its really oda fault

We sadly cant choose what he answers

OP fandom when we finally got an Imu face reveal

[fallen meteor]

idk i need to see their principles

[torn kite]

How much stronger do you guys think Luffy gets from this point

Like I don’t think he gets too much stronger from this point in the story I guess he could master gear five but besides that IDK

[fallen meteor]

i dont see him not beign the strongest guy ever so he has to at least achieve haki knot at egghead power

and he's not even close atm

[trim lily]

i feel like its pretty easy to just give him an arbitrary haki boost

maybe give him an extra form of gear 5

[leaden rivet]

Feel like having multiple forms of gear 5 kinda defeats the purpose

[fallen meteor]

i dont see a new form too

i can see a new haki tho

or he gets a new understanding of haki

maybe a few blooms

[trim lily]

idk id rather a fruit evolution than a haki one

[fallen meteor]

i'm kinda tired of fruit stuff

he could like understand it better but i hope he stays just g5

[timber glacier]

i dont think luffy will get another gear just think he will just get haki buffs

[glacial bear]

Mhm

[wraith mantle]

Gear 6 will be the edgy form piratefolks has been waiting for

[fallen meteor]

oh maybe he gets a reverse gear

and it bounces him back to healthy

[jagged geode]

I genuinely think Luffy will get better at using gear fifth, I imagine Joyboy was way more proficient in its capabilities

[pulsar timber]

All he needs is better stamina and slightt better haki

[glacial bear]

Luffy I can see getting a Haki boost

[jagged geode]

Without spoiling another manga, where users of a certain ability is not worth killing because it just incarnates elsewhere. So Imu needs to seal Luffy in order to not have to chase have the hito hito nomi from the beginning again

For some reason it took the reappearance of the Nidhogg for Imu to make a move, he must have realised where the fruit user was by the end of Wano

Something like he needed both to be at the same place at the same time. However, it could just be Oda’s need to always up the stakes with a stronger opponent as the story progresses and not wanting to confront the straw hats with Shanks or BB too early

[fallen meteor]

each day i fear more about this two fruits thing rocks said

i hope its not like
a door at laughtale that only opens if the user of the nika and the user of the nidhogg touch it at the same time or some bs

i need an elaborate plan that works because those fruits are working together

if it's just a seal or some bs like that i'm going to be very mad

luffy gets to laughtale and a haki ghost shows up and says 'nika...we have been waiting' and it opens up a door

😡

[trim lily]

the poneglyphs and sailing should be the only limitations for laughtale

anyone should be able to get there

[fallen meteor]

i'm talking about roger too

like they got there but were too early

imagine the early part is because the nika fruit had not appeared

[keen quiver]

"They'll never resurface"

[fallen meteor]

this would get me mad

[trim lily]

the idea of only roger having visited lodestar still annoys me

[keen quiver]

Top 10 things that were flat out wrong

[hot cairn]

why

[trim lily]

anyone should be able to get there in theory

youre telling me in 800 years only a SINGLE person made it there, and now in the next 20 another will

its supposed to be the thing that informs you about the poneglyphs and how to get to laughtale, defeats the purpose if not a single other soul has ever gotten there

[fallen meteor]

i'm not that mad about it

it makes sense if they werent trying as much

roger did start the great age of pirates

[signal fiber]

We have no idea it could be surrounded by a mile of whirlpools for all we know

[trim lily]

idk it annoys me since laughtale is supposed to be the unreachable place

why should lodestar be too, everyone should eventually get there by log pose anyway

[fallen meteor]

i still think theres like a village there

the lodestarians lmao

[signal fiber]

I'm sure there's something ridiculous that makes it hard to go there, otherwise someone would've just popped in looking for supplies or something

[trim lily]

i still headcanon it as basically an empty island with a stone on it lol

[grand rain]

[signal fiber]

I think either remove the tattoos or simplify the clothing

[sly belfry]

What are you busy with rokaya

[dense haven]

u crazy the tattoos add so much aura

[hazy turret]

But all the patterns on the clothes and cape PLUS the tattoos

[hazy turret]

They do

But I’m saying it’s like two cool things separately, and when you put it together it feels like you’re just adding things for the sake of adding things

[hazy turret]

Busy hating one piece amiright

[hazy turret]

Like Loki’s got a lot of tattoos, imagine he also had striped pants and a cape with a bunch of designs on top

But keeping the pants and cape simple I BELIEVE don’t interfere with the tats

[dense haven]

just dont give him stupid colors that clash you cant even notice all the details

muted colors and not much contrast

but ofc oda is gonna make him look like a clown

[hazy turret]

I hope the official is a little more detailed with that panel on the right

[hollow dove]

@hazy turret @digital spear Fun fact I just realized when reading One Piece volumes in Vietnamese with my partner.

When Kid gets annoyed by Charloss purchasing Camie, instead of saying “what a farce”, he instead says “It’s time for my afternoon tea, let’s bounce”

And it’s not even a figure of speech in the language or something, bro truly just waned to drink some tea lol

Thanks to Vietnamese Eustass, we now know without a shadow of a doubt that the auction was taking place after 12PM but before 6PM. Even though I’m sure that was already quite obvious, but thanks Captain 👏 👏

Here are my final war fight theories. For clarification, I got both ideas' inspirations from this chapter. Here goes!

(1) Chopper vs Venusjuro will be Chopper's final war opponent.

(2) Kid vs Shamrock will be Kid's final war opponent.

[thick mango]

I don't think zoro can fight reverse mihawk

It adds ambiguity, I think you really want that one to be a pure honor duel where nothing at all interferes and both have the ability to go 100%

[balmy field]

who have hebi hebi no mi:jormungadr

???

[crisp helm]

Potentially, but maybe not though.

[glass plume]

We're speculating that Shamrock has it.

[crisp helm]

Hellfire seems distinct, but possible

Then again Nidhogg is the lightning dragon

so..

Oda might just be mixing things

[glass plume]

Oda made the Nidhoggr into a lightning dragon, maybe he'll make Jormangundr into the hellfire serpent.

[crisp helm]

Yes

[glass plume]

Oh i didn't see that you said it, lol

[balmy field]

idts shamrock has to be a haki man tbh

[celest mauve]

some of the replies

[glass plume]

I think Shamrock will have Haki, Devil Fruit as well as his Cerberus sword.

[crisp helm]

Why does he have to be?

[glass plume]

Basically an amped up Shanks, lol

[crisp helm]

So far, first thing he's done is summon a creature from a sword

[balmy field]

shanks is a haki man too and shamrock sword already have a mythic zoan why do he even need fruit gng

[crisp helm]

Kinda the point?

He's what Shanks would be if he received the benefits of the WG?

[balmy field]

nah haki only and sword already have a mythic zoan man

[celest mauve]

shamrock is probably doomed to be a comparative bum unfortunately, holy knight association nerf

[balmy field]

nah

[crisp helm]

Oda would be foolish to do that

truly foolish

[celest mauve]

seriously speaking though, I don't think shamrock's haki will be as strong as shanks's haki to balance him having the cerberus sword and immortality over shanks

[crisp helm]

I don't think immortality will be as relevant

[glass plume]

Definitely not, Oda has made sure to dinstinguish him from the rest of them.
He did that by sending him away from Elbaph at the start of it all, even when he talks about Shamrock in the SBS you can tell that he is an important character, not just for being a goober in the God Knights.

I think that Oda even told his editor once that the chapter were Shamrock's introduction took place is far too important to reveal now and it's going to only make sense after the one piece is found.

[crisp helm]

Seeing the current events

Immortality will probably not be that significant

So it'll be more combat oriented

[balmy field]

nah he have the potential of that lvl of haki i think he might have that lvl gng

[crisp helm]

And Cerberus seems to be distinct from his own fighting style

Again..

[celest mauve]

yeah I wasn't really being serious, I do expect him to be shanks's equal or at least a serious threat to top-tiers

[crisp helm]

Like pretty sure there's a statement

that says

[crisp helm]

TBF, this was 15 yrs ago

[glass plume]

Oh, I missunderstood you then.

[crisp helm]

But they said IF Shanks got the Imu amps he would be = to Shamrock

So like

unless

SHamrock

ain't growing

[balmy field]

and i think the jormungandr fruit eater transformed and was petrified using some kind of power and now is GRANDLINE and the fruit eater might br from joyboy crew/allies tbh

[crisp helm]

which is weird bcuz he did all the way to his mid 20s(when he was a lower rank btw)

I don't rly see him being a "fraud"

or wtv

[glass plume]

I don't think that the hellfire serpent is the redline.

[balmy field]

jormungandr is A SERPENT SAID TO BE BIG AS WHOLE WORLD he is wrapped around the realms acc to norse mytho so i think that

[glass plume]

This also implies that there's a second power which he didn't use against Loki.

[crisp helm]

for sure, the cerberus moves on its own

would be weird to have a weapon that only functions when u aren't fighting as ur main power

or some shit

like that just limits what u can do

[glass plume]

Yeah, it's just lame if the equivelant to Jormangundr in One Piece is a giant rock structure and not an actual giant leviathan snake.

[crisp helm]

atp

[balmy field]

yh but if he is petrified and got released somehow so ig we might see a fucking leavithan snake man! IMU and the 20king had some POWER to do that tbh

[crisp helm]

we still dk who the earth god is

I guess, but i'd prefer if it's a similair case to Nidhoggr where it's a fruit that has laid dormant for long and eventually got a new user to eat it, which in this case i believe would be Shamrock.

I won't forgive oda if imu is forced to return to mariejois due to health and BB then swoops in and ends him while he's vulnerable

[icy crown]

none care for Lord Poseidon as I do

[warm fossil]

I will

get that bum out of my story

[celest mauve]

there's three things IMO that ensure imu needs to be kept around anyway:

1. the connection to the nefertari
2. the void century flashback
3. the takedown of the WG

[wet condor]

You won't have to worry about this ever happening

[celest mauve]

bad takes as usual

Not a 1v1 but if we just comparing the bodies lol

[tough igloo]

that’s better than Cobra .. you can also add Wang Zhi & Abealolm to Teach list

[icy crown]

I thought you misspelled incel
I see what it is now tho I can't even lie

[cyan lotus]

yall think joyboy was cracking lili and imu got jelly

[wet condor]

Imu might get another here tho

[tough igloo]

Boa & Law was about to be on that list too. lmao

but got saved by plot

[icy crown]

religiously

[celest mauve]

it's not even confirmed wang zhi is dead or if BB personally killed absalom

[celest mauve]

but they aren't

[cyan lotus]

kept the strawhat bcoz bro was in the cuck chair loll

[tough igloo]

lmao you think BBP would leave wang zhi alive ? cmon now

it’s a hostile takeover

[cyan lotus]

OMG THAT WHY HE SITS ON THE THRONE

lemme cook fr

[celest mauve]

there isn't a single line even implying he's dead, so why would I just assume until some kind of confirmation is given?

[icy crown]

Ole JB put his hat on Imu head before he had Imu watch

[ornate tartan]

who told you he sits on the throne?

[celest mauve]

we only know he was defeated

and apparently koby helped

[tough igloo]

we’re told Teach took down Wang Zhi … so it comes down to whether you think Teach would spare his life or kill him after taking him down

[cyan lotus]

the empty throne, im joking anyway lol

[icy crown]

right, it's supposed to be a secret

[tough igloo]

we know how oda does the old gen .. he kills them off in the new era

[celest mauve]

so again, an assumption lol

[tough igloo]

okay so Absalom , WB & Thatch is still more lmao

[celest mauve]

anyway this went off on a tangent, the point is that I don't care to see BB as any kind of story-ending villain with the way oda has handled him till now

[tough igloo]

like removing that one doesn’t help your case

[digital spear]

WORLD IS COOKED IF THIS HAPPENS 😹

[icy crown]

right like
everybody saying usopp gonna die
nah, it'll be a former roger pirate
if anybody

[alpine trench]

I’m on a similar boat

[celest mauve]

oh but if I include lulusia lmao

[cyan lotus]

if usopp dies i will not forgive oda 🙁

[ashen perch]

He didnt even kill Moria and y'all are expecting him to kill Wang Zhi lol

[tough igloo]

Oda did the most obvious foreshadowing this arc for how everything is gonna play out … might as well prepare yourself to be upset with Oda when it happens lol

[icy crown]

BB has inherited a warped version of the will of his father

[celest mauve]

an entire country wiped off the map and I'm supposed to believe absalom's offscreen death matters more?

[alpine trench]

I think Imu’s story is starting to bloom much beyond what BB got in terms of impact

[ashen perch]

Hachinosu was a prison island, Blackbeard likes to own slaves. Add 2 and 2.

Wang Zhi will be a prisoner slave too

[ashen perch]

I dont even slander Garling usually but you need to be stopped

[cyan lotus]

w name

[tough igloo]

only notable people we saw him not kill were people he needed for something .. we saw when he doesn’t need you that he will try to kill you like he did Law & Boa .. unless he needed Wang for something, he’s not gonna just keep him alive

[ornate tartan]

Wang Zhi is WASHED

[celest mauve]

oda was also the one who had both whitebeard and vegapunk talk (in some way) with their dying speeches about a war to follow the finding of the one piece

[icy crown]

in what timeline does absalom matter

[celest mauve]

exactly, he doesn't

[icy crown]

I slander Larling

[tough igloo]

lmao i’m so glad you said that cause multiple japanese translators have been said that WB never said the war is after the one piece .. he said both things will happen

[celest mauve]

and what about vegapunk's message?

[ashen perch]

what did he need Moria for? just face it, he usually doesnt kill

[ornate tartan]

plz don’t 🥺

[tough igloo]

VP message was whoever finds the one piece will decide the fate of the world .. again he never said the war is after the one piece

[ashen perch]

who are these multiple japanese translators?

[tough igloo]

he wanted Moria on his crew

[icy crown]

alright I won't... ||for now...||

[tough igloo]

Sandman , Artur & Dawn and Dusk

[ashen perch]

he was mocking him

[tough igloo]

dawn and dusk has several videos talking about it

[tough igloo]

no he wasn’t

he actually wanted moria on his crew

[icy crown]

he wanted Moria to read the poneglpyhs but he got pudding for that now

[ashen perch]

are you referring to Oda's statement? because I have never seen another interpretation of what Whitebeard said.

[tough igloo]

there’s no evidence at all that he was mocking him

[celest mauve]

how am I supposed to interpret this then, and where are these statements from JP translators?

[ashen perch]

theres no indication that Moria knows anything about that lol

[tough igloo]

no i’m talking about WB statement in Marineford

[grand flower]

Idk how you can take in all the themes and story beats and not see the value of Blackbeard as a final villain

Not agree he is necessarily

[icy crown]

Moria was a Kozuki
All the Kozuki know

[grand flower]

But to see nothing there is insane

[wet condor]

I agree lol

[alpine trench]

i dont think anyone is saying he has nothing

[ashen perch]

he wasnt a real kozuki, we know this for sure now

[tough igloo]

go watch any dawn and dusk video about the one piece , how the story ends or blackbeard and they talk about it every time how WB isn’t saying one thing happens after the other

[wet condor]

If that's what you actually think

Genuinely

[icy crown]

right but they loved him like one of their own

[celest mauve]

it's not that I don't see the potential, I don't personally find it satisfying for BB to be the final villain as things currently stand though

[ashen perch]

yes but the poneglyph knowledge is meant for the successor of the shogun, not anybody else lol

[tough igloo]

yeah saying it’s nothing there is just bias/agenda

[celest mauve]

I can acknowledge that there is a possibility he is the last obstacle though

[glass plume]

Luffy and Blackbeard will have to team up in order to take down Imu either way

[alpine trench]

no one said that there's nothing, there's not enough to give him that gravitas now that the long held threads of the darkness that overcame the world post the void is coming into the open

[celest mauve]

like the overarching story all the way from the void century till now concerns imu, the king of the world and the one who's been ruling in secret, it goes beyond the one piece and piracy

[icy crown]

G5 Luffy vs Imu should play out exactly like an early episode of Tom and Jerry

[cyan lotus]

usopps enough to take down imu

[grand flower]

What I mean is, Blackbeard fits so well with the themes and beats that’s made OP compelling that I don’t get how you can fuck with OP and not feel any compulsion by Teach. I’m not necessarily saying you’re wrong, it’s just odd to me cause a lot of what makes Teach compelling is what’s baked into making the story compelling, and he does so in a very interesting way you typically don’t see for a shonen final villain

[tough igloo]

peopel really think Oda had Imu kill Teach entire family , Imu recognize Teach as Davy Jones , Imu talks about fearing Davy Jones , just for Teach to never get revenge … lmao i love this

[wet condor]

Tera wasn't saying that though. Shit is starting to ramp up and if it keeps going then I might be further convinced that Imu is the final villain as opposed to Blackbeard

[alpine trench]

and since he's carrying the will of davy jones, as confirmed in panel, he's simply not being projected as what was held before

[grand flower]

Yeah I understood

[wet condor]

But even if Imu is the final villain, I still find Blackbeard's dynamic with Luffy more interesting

And it'll probably always be that way just because of what Blackbeard is in relation to Luffy

[grand flower]

I just think that’s a wild takeaway

[glass plume]

You're placing so much importance in the Davy side of it, you're not taking into account that Joyboy also is supposed to be there. It'll be Luffy and Blackbeard vs Imu.

[alpine trench]

i like teach, i like what he contributes to the story and what he's in relation to luffy and how he contrasts luffy's narrative and journey but there is a larger darkness unravelling itself

[ornate tartan]

it all depends on whether laughtale is at the end of the series or not i think

[glass plume]

Also Imu has 800 years worth of lore backing them up, while Blackbeard has a vengeance story backing him up.

[tough igloo]

yeah i’ve been arguing that it’ll be teach & luffy .. i’m talking about davy side of it now for the people acting like Teach won’t be involved with their downfall

[icy crown]

what if Luffy must team up with BB to defeat Imu for good

[ornate tartan]

because if laughtale comes before the final war then it gets sketchy for blackbeard being final villian since he is gunning for it too, but if it is the last thing that happens in the series it strengthens his case

i think this is fair

[tough igloo]

Oda didn’t have Imu wipe out Teach entire family in front of Teach for Teach to not get his get back

[alpine trench]

teach ultimately, similar to mihawk in relationship to zoro, is going to lose

we know that's inevitable

[grand flower]

Like the fact that Teach was the only figure to actually win at Marineford recontextualizes the entire pre-skip

You realize how many things happened because you’ve been reading Teach’s story to victory in the background of Luffys atory to getting crushed

[glass plume]

In all fairness Garling was the one who killed Xebec at the end of the day.

[grand flower]

They shit fascinating to me

[celest mauve]

yeah I think this story for a long time has been building to a greater climax than just finding the one piece, and how would it be satisfying if the one who's been oppressing the world for centuries isn't there for that final conflict?

[tough igloo]

yeah but even Eris knew it was ultimately Imu which is why she said what she said to rocks

[alpine trench]

teach doesnt know that garling did the blow to him

[tough igloo]

so Teach is gonna know the same

[grand flower]

By making that final conflict rhe question of what world will be created now that the world is free to create one

[icy crown]

at the end of the day, the day's gotta end

[grand flower]

I find this way more compelling that just “saving the day” because a lot of Shonen who deal with a protagonist fighting a system DONT address how they’re actually going to change it

[celest mauve]

this reminds me of another popular shonen, and that's why I said I see the potential

[grand flower]

Fuck JK Rowling

So I’ll just say Harry Potter is an example

[ashen perch]

Show me then.

Because Whitebeard's final words are pretty clear here, the World Government fears the day the One Piece is found and the world is turned upside down. The WG fears the man who will someday arise and shoulder centuries of history during this war, history that by design can only be discovered alongside the One Piece because its all at Laugh Tale.

[alpine trench]

i fucking love this line

[glass plume]

I just don't want to 800 years worth of lore behind Imu to be trampled on, just because Blackbeard needs revenge.

[grand flower]

If OP goes the route of actually addressing what changing the system will look like instead of glossing it over as a happily ever after that will set it apart from a ton of young adult and pre-teen fantasy media

[tough igloo]

yeah last time Teach saw of Garling and his pops was him getting cooked by his pops so he wouldn’t think anything of Garling in that way .. last thing he saw of Rocks was a Domi Rocks

[glass plume]

The Davy clan is interesting sure, but i don't find them remotely as interesting as all that which Imu has been through.

[grand flower]

Blackbeard and Luffy fighting to determine what the world will look like after Imu offers us that

[ashen perch]

but thats the thing, this is happening, its just not happening post the fall of Imu

it is happening before it, right before it

[glass plume]

Imu has essentialy been there, through the entire process of shaping their world.

[grand flower]

It’s kinda silly to assume that 800 year history won’t be relevant to Teach

I also find it kinda funny to say we haven’t gotten enough Davy

[glass plume]

I mean it's not as directly relevant as it is to Imu, as Imu has lived through it all.

[grand flower]

Imu JUST became a character

And hes good enough?

[alpine trench]

lol

[glass plume]

I think that Imu is more interesting.

They've been built up as this mysterious monarch which has held the reigns for so many years.

[grand flower]

We literally only have a design for Imu and some vague personality traits from his archetype

[glass plume]

It's weird to be hyped about them?

[ashen perch]

The clash of Blackbeard and Luffy will decide what is to be done about Imu, the WG and this whole system of oppression that governs the world and more specifically who will be doing it. Blackbeard's idea of it won't prevail.

[grand flower]

That’s kinda what I mean

You guys get how Imu has been baked indirectly through tje story

[ashen perch]

youre just expecting it to happen after Imu, I don't believe that makes any sense

[grand flower]

But you don’t realize Oda can reveal he’s been doing that with the Davy too?

[glass plume]

That wouldn't be satisfactory to me.

[icy crown]

Final Battle: SHs vs BBPs, Revs vs Imu + HKs

[tough igloo]

man i love one piece 🙂‍↔️

[alpine trench]

i find the idea that's interesting in that imu himself is fighting against fate, of all this being inevitable, of history that he changed and made coming to a head, he's fighting against the very fate that he built for luffy to break

[glass plume]

It should be told through Imu as he is the one who has lived through it all.

[grand flower]

You’ve preemptively decided it won’t be satisfying to you, even though you haven’t seen it executed yet

Which, mind you, can include Oda revealing plot points you were interested in interconnected in ways you didn’t realize

Which is literally the bread ans butter of OPs structure btw

[glass plume]

Just do it through Imu.

[grand flower]

That’s just how the series work at this point

[icy crown]

yuh the darkness fruit may very well be able to give BB the abilities that Imu has

[glass plume]

The Davy clan will be apart if Imu told it too.

It doesn't have to be through the Davy clan which it's told.

[grand flower]

You can’t raise the question of how to replace the system adequately with Imu

Imu only provides the question of, can we keep doing what’s happening em

Rn*

[icy crown]

by suckin em out of Imu

[alpine trench]

i'm not interested in bringing myself into this fucking stupid topic that's discussed ad infinitum but imu's story as a character is backed up by 900 years of systemic darkness that he himself instituted and managed

[grand flower]

Imu doesnt have an alternative to the solution to raise the question of “what should we do”

[alpine trench]

i dont think teach can suck that shit out of imu bro ngl

i dont think he has that much in him

[grand flower]

Imu is just the problem

[glass plume]

Imu is the reason for why the world is how it is, and how it's been for 800 years.

The story's antagonist has always been Imu.

[grand flower]

A shonen ending by uprooting the problem and then fighting over what the solution should be

That’s way more interesting

[tough igloo]

yeah his entire dream of becoming king of the world relied on him getting the yami yami before doing anything else and he would’ve gave up the dream if he didn’t find it . that’s how important it is to his goal

[ashen perch]

it will be the other way around

[icy crown]

u think imu's coc is too strong?

[glass plume]

If Blackbeard gained Imu's power that would be literally just be temu Imu.

[alpine trench]

these 2 pages live in my head rent free and inform so much of what imu's mindspace is

[glass plume]

It would be so dumb.

[ashen perch]

Blackbeard and Luffy will clash over who gets to uproot the problem, and it can only be one at the end who gets to do it

[grand flower]

But you gotta understand that that same 900 years of institution and darkness is the backbone for every character’s experience, and now Teach is just as intimately tied to it so it works both ways

[icy crown]

brother's cooking

[tough igloo]

nobody says he’s Temu WB so why is this logic being used with Imu ? lol

[glass plume]

Because Imu's power is even more unique than Whitebeards was.

Imu is being played up as the literal devil.

[grand flower]

That’s not as interesting as the world uprooting their shared problem and then the two top candidates have a clash of ideals about what to do after tbh

[glass plume]

They've got the most unique powers as of right now.

[tough igloo]

but Oda has set up already that Teach power is gonna play a huge role in being involved with Imu power

[alpine trench]

that's not set up

[ashen perch]

honestly, Luffy's bigger clash over what is to be done after Imu will actually be with Dragon. I reckon Dragon will lean towards reform, while Luffy's the type to destroy it all

[glass plume]

That would be interesting.

[grand flower]

Not if something happens like revealing that Imu was absorbed by the Awakening

[tough igloo]

it is .. saying Teach dream of becoming king of the world relied on the yami yami and teach saying it can take the devils power (not devil fruits but devil )

[glass plume]

That would be so shit if you ask me.

[grand flower]

Make it so that Teach is able to resist it and that allows him to show us a new dimension of the power that Imu couldnt

[ornate tartan]

Dragon is gonna have to find someone to build him a new house

the world is gonna be destroyed

guaranteed

[alpine trench]

teach's dream of becoming king of the world is ultimately a dream that is not going to come to fruition, luffy is the one who is in the way there

[ornate tartan]

everytime nika appears this happens

[ashen perch]

yeah I dont think Luffy is going to leave anything of the world that existed before

[grand flower]

Again, you’re making wholesale conclusions before you actually see it play out

Oda can reveal that the personality traits that define Imu as a villain now are the same ones that made him lose control. Oda can start him off as a flawed hero so him losing control is a tragedy

[tough igloo]

it will .. and after he does .. Luffy will have to stop him and shape the world in his own eyes

[glass plume]

The red line crumbling will be proof of that.

[grand flower]

You guys gottta be more imaginative

[alpine trench]

what must we imagine

I think2 hrs

[near flower]

Nice

[ornate tartan]

today in a couple of hours like 3

[glass plume]

I'm so excited for the new episode.

[echo grotto]

i really really really dont want Imu to be a sad backstory villain

[glass plume]

It's going to be Shanks against Barto, right?

[icy crown]

Imu may have lived thru history, but the genealogical and spiritual descendants of his former contemporaries have lived in the world that he wrought, un/knowingly carrying on their own centuries-long histories

@barren token they played this in the radio im crying this is the life this is peak https://youtu.be/_-2dIuV34cs?is=nLrUQzamm0TpMytO

[grand flower]

Well we can go back to the base of this and I’ll say, idk how you guys come to that conclusion

[near flower]

I cant even remember what happened in the first chapter of the arc

[alpine trench]

yo

[near flower]

Cant wait

[tough igloo]

Davys Promise will be fulfilled by the one carrying davys will ….

which we now have confirmation by Imu himself that it is indeed Teach )

[grand flower]

You remove Teach’s presence, the entire story is different

[ornate tartan]

Yasopp episode

[cyan lotus]

do i have to watch it on crunchyroll surely there’s other free places to watch it

[digital spear]

oh yeah episode tonight

[cyan lotus]

anyone know?

[ornate tartan]

yea i think that’s where it comes out but there’s other websites

[tough igloo]

what tonight episode about ? no elbaf yet right ?

[ornate tartan]

someone else would know better then me

[glass plume]

Lmfao, if you'd remove Imu's presence the story wouldn't even be there.

[digital spear]

yes first Elbaf episode

[tough igloo]

is tonight episode the one with shanks/Barto & teach ?

[grand flower]

Right im not disputing that

But that just goes to show

It’s like I said before

[digital spear]

That and I think first Legoland episode

[ashen perch]

Maybe imagining outcomes that arent being actively hinted at isnt all that good though.

BB fans arent even seeing the mega obvious kraken elements to Blackbeard's current design smh, instead they're trying to force him into an alley that he just doesn't fit into

[grand flower]

Imu is only literally just becoming a character

[tough igloo]

YES ! so we actually do arrive to elbaf this episode

[grand flower]

A kraken is a sea devil

[digital spear]

Imu was just born

[grand flower]

Tbh

[near flower]

Btw someone knows where the shanks haki knots therory is coming from lol

[final trench]

No point in being a kraken via the sea water weakness, unless that shit gets uplifted

[grand flower]

Imu was a silhouette teasing an archetype for so long, and folks are like “yup that’s my final villain”

[wet condor]

I am definitely not trying to see Imu go out in this arc lol

That would be anti-climactic and disappointing

[grand flower]

I don’t understand how Imu is satisfactory but someone who’s actively shaped the ongoing plot hasnt done enough for the merit to be seen

Luffy and Teach have already been pulling the world to and fro all atory

[ashen perch]

its a sea monster, not a sea devil

[final trench]

Water weakness aside tho i wouldnt mind a hippo zoan

[icy crown]

me personally, I'd be fine with either or both appearing as final villain(s)

[ornate tartan]

https://x.com/musingsofohara/status/2040698995106816384?s=46

blackbeard should get a different DF for his 3rd power

dai🌸 (@musingsofohara)

do bb fans not see this a repetitive boss? cuz the only way bb is gonna be able to compete with a post imu fight luffy is by stealing imu’s fruit. but then luffy is just fighting imu again????

X · Apr 5, 2026, 7:52 AM

[grand flower]

“Deposing Imu and now we fight over the new era” is a lot less generic than “remove the tyrant” is all

[ashen perch]

and a kraken is the greatest enemy of a pirate, maybe that should be considered more by pirate manga believers...

[ornate tartan]

fighting imu powers twice would be so stupid😂

[grand flower]

But subjectivity aside

[grand flower]

Not necessarily

[final trench]

Imma be honest gang

[grand flower]

Yall ignore the potential of personality absorption

[final trench]

I dont even think he’s getting a 3rd

https://tenor.com/view/lucki-shh-lucki-shh-gif-3245291727502780352

[grand flower]

Oda can easily say Imu lost his personality to the sea devil

Then have it so Blackbeard doesnt

And that makes the power used in different ways, or teach brings more out of it

[final trench]

Indeed

[grand flower]

OP fans will raise a question like it’s a checkmate

And it’s a question you can answer just being a tiny bit imaginative lol

Often really easily

[ashen perch]

but that is going against the other idea with the sea devil, with it being an overarching nemesis of humanity itself dating back milleniums

[grand flower]

What

[glass plume]

So, Blackbeard will be able to wield a power greater than Imu has wileded it for 800 years.

[ashen perch]

its the biggest bad of the entire world

[grand flower]

You just ignored the part where I said Imu the man lost the coin toss when he awakened?

[ashen perch]

it existed before piracy existed

[grand flower]

That’s not something you continuously do

[alpine trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq2l6hw63Z8 the anime looks so good now

[grand flower]

You either resist the awakening or you don’t

Once you awaken and you’re good, you’re good

Once you’re fucked, you’re fucked

[alpine trench]

consistent art direction and movement 🥹

[ashen perch]

by giving Blackbeard full control over it, youre reducing that role of it and turning it into just a zoan

[glass plume]

Imu is as close to the devil as we're going to come.

[final trench]

#truth

[grand flower]

We learned that in the SBS that just came out

[grand flower]

[alpine trench]

well, imu is the devil

[icy crown]

the distinction of Imu's ability being called "Devil's Fruit" as opposed to [insert name] devil fruit implies to me that it isn't a devil fruit, but something that came before dfs

[ashen perch]

the first world has just expanded this story beyond just being about piracy, and its made Nika into a liberator of all of humanity

I think that part is going to be addressed through Imu as well

[digital spear]

Damn the og opening music is back

[ashen perch]

what can Blackbeard really add there by taking the fruit? nothing lol

[glass plume]

Imu calling Luffy as Nika was very interesting as well, since before they've said Joyboy

[alpine trench]

for the previews yeah

and the episode title font is being changed as well

[ashen perch]

yeah

[glass plume]

Even the fact that Imu knows about Nidhoggr might suggest that he is from the first world after all.

I mean Nidhoggr wasn't wielded since then right?

Loki was the first in ages.

[final trench]

If not imu, then mu and the nerona family

[ashen perch]

yeah supposedly, Loki seems to be the first Nidhoggr since the God of War Elbaf's time

[final trench]

Mu is the earth god

[ornate tartan]

for blackbeard fans

for imu fans

[final trench]

Bro finally discovered the truth

[grand flower]

Well Theres the potential that Imu and his power didnt come about until the second world

Oda can make it so that Imu finessed the power from a Davy

[final trench]

https://tenor.com/view/ohio-respect-ohio-impressed-king-von-gif-5378643817404344366

[ashen perch]

I think the Davy clan believing in their own narratives is not proof of anything

[grand flower]

This Odimaru guy started off weak because Odas commented multiple times that finding the OP is the conclusion

[ashen perch]

notice how Xebec didnt even know what a Nika is?

[glass plume]

I mean yeah it's pretty odd for us to doubt in Imu as they've lived through the ages which Xebec speaks of as legend, Imu knows who was the king and who wasn't back then as they've lived through it all.

[pulsar path]

Today our Lord rises it's a special day that every one should pray to because huzzah the sun gods season 2 starts today! It's the rise of the sun god!

[grand flower]

I didn’t say anything that requires this

[ashen perch]

oh yeah I was responding to what krome posted

I will get to you in a sec

[ornate tartan]

you know for me if the OP comes last then Blackbeard is the final villian, but if it doesn’t then it’s Imu

[glass plume]

For all we know Davy Jones might be hailed as a king inside of the Davy clan specifically, who saught power outwards but didn't get it.

[ashen perch]

Xebec is a believer of the Will of Davy, a believer in that narrative. Its not the definitive truth, its not meant to be.

[glass plume]

And that's why the Davy clan crowns them as the rightful king of the world.

[ornate tartan]

and it’s looking like the OP will come last

[grand flower]

Imu is also a liar and manipulator that runs his fascism by snuffing out the truth of the world

Trusting IMU is insane work

[cyan lotus]

how active do i have to be to get that pink colour for my in server pfp

[grand flower]

Especially when he’s a belligerent child

[glass plume]

Equally as insane as trusting Xebec who hasn't been there when it happened.

[icy crown]

Davy Jones was a prince in the Ancient Kingdom who left to sail the world. He was then Domi Reversi'd into using the ancient weapons against the 20 kings and later gained the power of the Nika to defend himself and his allies

[grand flower]

You can pick the big mom pirates role

[glass plume]

Imu lived through it, you can't take that away from them.

[grand flower]

I didn’t trust Rocks

What I said wasn’t based on anything Rocks said

[ashen perch]

I wouldnt trust Imu, but the Davy narrative is beyond doubtful given their ignorance of Nika

You can call me a bedroom attendant

[cyan lotus]

[icy crown]

if this is true, Luffy n BB might begrudgingly team up against Imu

[glass plume]

I wonder what Doflamingo will do going forwards, since he clearly isn't going to rot in Impel Down all day.

[grand flower]

I think he’s been manipulating Magellan

[icy crown]

hell yeah

[glass plume]

Definitely looks like it.

[final trench]

🌗🌗🌗🌗

[grand flower]

Dofy has low-key been brainwashing Magellan this entire time lol

[final trench]

Phase 2 🚶‍♀️

[dark nymph]

this is... ONE PIECE! 👊 👊

[grand flower]

Magellan legit asked Dofy his input during VPs speech

[glass plume]

As soon as Doflamingo is out his strings will be firmly attached to Magellan.

[final trench]

Damn, magellan still gotta move the prisoners

[grand flower]

There’s a bunch of scenes where Dofy is talking and Magellan just has “…” speech bubbles

[forest jacinth]

[grand flower]

Like he’s actually absorbing what Dofy is saying

Dofy is getting to him

[alpine trench]

i dont think magellan is that weak willed

[final trench]

renegade magellan 👀 v

[icy crown]

Davy D. Jones might just be the same dude as Joyboy, is all I'm saying

[glass plume]

it's so funny how Doflamingo is just laughing like a madman in every panel we see him in.

[pulsar path]

I mean probably because it's starting to add up

[icy crown]

They will surely meet again.

[pulsar path]

Megellen ant no idiot

[final trench]

Granted this honestly has alotta meaning but i think the main one is the red line

[regal yew]

BB and Luffy Teaming Up

[grand flower]

More like Dofy is that skilled tbh. The devil’s honey-dripped silver tongue

[ashen perch]

I think this is going beyond just Devil Fruits, if Imu was taken over by The Devil (or the Earth God as is speculated), that means that ancient entity that stood against Nika is truly back.

Blackbeard taking the ability and just suppressing that aspect is counterproductive to the idea there

[final trench]

The WG dont fw unity so they split everyone apart

[regal yew]

Keep in mind, Luffy and BB will NEVER team up

[final trench]

Then luffy breaks it and everyone is closer again

[glass plume]

"The world is going to end..!"

Doflamingo: "FU FU FU FU FU..! I TOLD YOU ALL ALONG..!"

Bro missed everything in the past arc lmao

[final trench]

🤫

They shall never resurface 😏

[regal yew]

Luffy and everyone else be jumping Imu until they get on 1hp, then BB spawns in and steal's Imu's fruit

[final trench]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-daring-today-spongebob-spongebob-meme-daring-today-arent-we-gif-23808696

[pulsar path]

I don't think BB will take Imu fruit or wants it

[glass plume]

I don't think Imu has a fruit.

[pulsar path]

He wants that throne

[regal yew]

In what universe will Luffy team up with the guy who killed his brother

[pulsar path]

Er I should say " power"

[icy crown]

Doffy seemingly wanted to use Law so he could basically become Imu
I wonder what Doffy would've done differently than what Imu does

[glass plume]

Probably next to nothing, he just wants power.

[regal yew]

Most likely has a god mythical zoan, one which BB will thirst for

[glass plume]

Doflamingo is jealous of Imu.

[cyan lotus]

😡😡😡

[glass plume]

I don't think so.

[cyan lotus]

no dofla slander allowed

[glass plume]

It's not slander, it's facts.

Doflamingo wants to be Imu.

[icy crown]

fair enough
Though I think, if anything, Doffy would've destroyed the whole world immediately lmao

[dark nymph]

wonder if Oda will surpass Doffy with Imu

[pulsar path]

Not rearly what BB did lead to aces death but aces dumb ass followed him around and tbh no v. Didn't kill ace sakazuki did yes bb helped by handing him over but remember BB was planning on killing Luffy he didn't kill ace

[glass plume]

I don't think so, he would've just ruled it like he did Dressrosa i assume.

[ashen perch]

This is such an important conversation that gets constantly overlooked, Xebec and the Davy don't seek to tear down the world as we know it like Nika does, they want to conquer it. They aren't even aware of Nika, let alone his ideology that Luffy also embodies. This is why Blackbeard will be failing, because they dont have the correct idea here.

[pulsar path]

But he does know about joy boy

[grand flower]

Ah see you fucked up

Oda can reveal that Imus actually been the one suppressing the true potential by losing his personality to the awakening and Teach will reach it by retaining his personality and being even more compatible

[pulsar path]

So to Xebec he could just know Nika as joy boy rather

[icy crown]

That's a viable option too, but
He said he wanted the destruction of the world, from the CDs that threw him out to the commoners he feels that he's above

[regal yew]

Luffy in impel down accused BB fully responsible of Ace's situation, not only that but BB and Luffy are shown as clear parallels

[pulsar path]

Ace wasn't dead yet lol

[glass plume]

Yeah he wants to destroy the Celestial Dragon society as they wronged him, so he can take over in their stead.

[final trench]

Bro bought back his fathers head and they told him to get out the spot

💔💔

[icy crown]

I accept

[cyan lotus]

yeah in the story, sure. but imu is still a bum

[grand flower]

The fact that Elders said teach is the first in history to eat two fruits goes to show teach is special in ways even Imu isn’t btw

Cause it sounds like Imu cant do that from how they spoke

[cyan lotus]

if only goat dofla knew how much of bum imu was

[icy crown]

Impel Down showed us that Luffy will team up with villains if necessary

[regal yew]

Blackbeard is pure evil, in what universe would Luffy want to team up with that guy

[glass plume]

Appearantly Imu doesn't need it, as they already rule.

[cyan lotus]

bro showed weakness his first proper appearance

[glass plume]

Plus, Imu seems to have far more power than those two fruits grant Blackbeard even.

Imu can give out parts of their power to loyal servants who are eternally bound to them, lol

[cyan lotus]

on his knees coughing blood as the king of the workd

what a bum

[glass plume]

Plus, making them immortal as a bonus.

[final trench]

It seems he knows about the secret of the holy land

And its “rotting” or some shit like that

[grand flower]

That’s what everyone says when they can’t do something cool

[icy crown]

I don't think I'm morally a fan of Imu, but ain't no way he can't fight 😭

[glass plume]

?

[cyan lotus]

fight imu yeah no dofla would get whooped for sure

but i love hearing imu slander

[glass plume]

What do you think about Kuzan by the way.

[cyan lotus]

ai

[timber glacier]

cold

Strings fit him perfectly, lol.

i rmb watching the riku scene for the first time omg i came

oda is such a good writer

[icy crown]

you WHAT

[glass plume]

tmi

[regal yew]

not villains that capture his grandpa, responsible for the death of his brother and harms innocent civillians.

[dark nymph]

he came to the realization that oda is such a good writer

[dense rapids]

What do you guys think will be the official name of Imu’s fruit today

[cyan lotus]

yes

[timber glacier]

Don't think Luffy know or caress Garp got captured lmao

[grand flower]

“Fruit of the Devil”

[ashen perch]

He can be more compatible and retain his personality, but again, that goes against the idea of the Devil being actually potentially back.

I just don't think thats the idea Oda is going for here, he's either hinting at Imu being the same entity from the First World that was around when Nika and Niddhoggr were, or he's hinting at him being possessed by it atleast.

[timber glacier]

probably just the devil devil fruit

[ashen perch]

Devil Fruit

[cyan lotus]

i ito ito no mied all over my screen

[grand flower]

It doesn’t go against the idea if Teach is how the devil is actually back because Imu couldnt reach the full potential

[dark nymph]

oh yeah im reading viz for this

[ashen perch]

you cant actually be the devil with your own personality

[dense rapids]

I think it’ll be The Devil Fruit

[icy crown]

I do think it'd be tough navigating the team-up, if it were to happen, for those first two reasons
but Croc and Bon Clay were responsible for civilian deaths too

[ashen perch]

thats just Teach with a Zoan, thats not the same entity

[grand flower]

You can if you were already the worst and teach is the worst

[glass plume]

I think it'll be like TCB "Devil's Fruit"

[icy crown]

nice save lmao

[grand flower]

What you’re describing is just Imu with a fruit too

[ashen perch]

not at all

[cyan lotus]

but that is true also

[dense rapids]

Anime today too

Finally will see who woke Nami up

Doubt it

[ashen perch]

The two options are:

Imu just being the exact same Devil thats been alive for that long.
Or him being possessed by the devil that existed back then.

[dense rapids]

Elbaph 2027 > Elbaph 2026

We waiting for GV arc

[glass plume]

Will the opening release earlier?

[grand flower]

what made you think the devil's been around since the first world btw

[dark nymph]

idk, I wanna see all the Loki stuff animated too

[dense rapids]

Devil fruits are the sea devil incarnations

So devil had to be first world or the end of it

[ashen perch]

yeah

[icy crown]

I wonder what it's like to write a world-renowned series

[lofty fern]

Happy Easter Resurrection Sunday to all!

[ashen perch]

and I think the Earth God is what it used to be called, thats the entity that spread death and darkness in the world during the First World

[cyan lotus]

is it just me or do yall not agree with the ppl who say “loki will join the strawhats”

[dark nymph]

how does Oda stay humble fr

[graceful pasture]

id imagine the pressure is unbearable

[dense rapids]

🤔

[cyan lotus]

i genuinely do not understand why people think loki will join

[icy crown]

Happy Resurrection Sunday
I can almost hear the Drums of Liberation now...

oh that's just the red line being created from insane volcanic activity

Loki will lead the Galleila I think

[lofty fern]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-easter-he-is-risen-easter-sunday-cross-jesus-gif-4966749780613159038

they need a torturer and ragnir

[dense rapids]

Happy Easter 🐰

[icy crown]

In private, he probably isn't lol

[cyan lotus]

a torturer? like a bad cop role?

[digital spear]

yea

[icy crown]

truly lmao
literal millions of people locked in to your creation

[dense rapids]

Someone said Imu will wear the giant Strawhat 🤣🤣🤣

[cyan lotus]

zoro kinda alr plays that

[final trench]

Probably road ngl

[dense rapids]

I say zues or Usopp

[digital spear]

zoro will betray

[pulsar path]

Twist ragnir is the torturer

[cyan lotus]

but id say yamato was way more likely of a candidate as a shadow of oden

[lofty fern]

Indeed 🌅 ✝️ 🥳 🥁

[pulsar path]

Imagine that cute lil butter ball squirrel torturing you

[final trench]

“I was always a pirate hunter”

[cyan lotus]

im sorry but this take is the most L take ive heard

[digital spear]

nobody needs Oden

[grand flower]

Usopp woke up nami, waking up in the cat's mouth gave him a panic that triggered an Observation Haki bloom that projected his Voice like Luffy in Wano

[ashen perch]

The Gorosei and Imu are meant to represent a geocentric model of our universe. Its an ancient belief about Earth being the centre of the universe itself

[dense rapids]

Yamato basically already semi confirmed to join with that last sbs

Whether that’s before eos or eos idk

[dark nymph]

"I am the pirate hunter, Luffy"

[ashen perch]

Imu represents Earth, and he is the devil so yeah.

[cyan lotus]

yeah true since nico Robin is there but I generously just cannot see Loki joining

[icy crown]

I can see a giant Luffy putting it on instead

[dense rapids]

I could see her just joining them during the final war like Jinbei in Wano

[digital spear]

"You are not seeing very far in the future" -Evil Katakuri

[dense rapids]

Yea

People really think Imu is human sized standing on the roof

[icy crown]

so One Piece has been Orb this entire time

[cyan lotus]

maybe you’ll prove me wrong

[dense rapids]

“Oda inconsistency”

[ashen perch]

well I disagree

[dense rapids]

Half of the fanbase don’t realized he transformed

They think he just took his cloak off

[icy crown]

nah that boy huge

[pulsar path]

He's a big boy unless oda changes/fixes it in the final version

That's how I take it

Cus they deff are giant sized

[ashen perch]

I dont think he will be giant sized

[dense rapids]

Yea he seems almost exact height as Loki

[digital spear]

so is blobmu still real

[ashen perch]

I just disagree with that

[dense rapids]

He’s giant sized

[cyan lotus]

maybe its a different form?

[ashen perch]

he will be like Kaido sized

[cyan lotus]

idk maybe he can change his size

[pulsar path]

I don't think the size of Loki but still giant sized

[dense rapids]

At the least he’s the size of G5 Luffy

[dark nymph]

yeah a lot of people suck at knowing what a transformation looks like, I remember this happened with Loki transforming too

[icy crown]

I think that's right

[dense rapids]

That’s definitely giant sized Imu there

[pulsar path]

I mean than oda really messed up the reveal cus of the windows sizes

[cyan lotus]

wb the butterfly scene

are the butterflies big asf or smth?

[digital spear]

Yes

[dense rapids]

Speaking of butterflies

[pulsar path]

No

Imu is only big after transforming

[digital spear]

https://tenor.com/view/butterfree-ash-youll-come-back-gif-5881095

[stone tulip]

Oh yeah he definitely increased his size

[dense rapids]

When he transforms its like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon

[icy crown]

THW AUEA OF IKU
