One Piece - I'm gonna be the Pirate King!

[Goomba]

I'm 100% convinced that that happened on purpose because it lets Big Mom track their movements without them being aware of it. And since it's a piece of her soul in that thing, she can easily recall it back if they try to use it against her (and probably kill the fuck out of it).

Is it really a part of her own soul? The way I understood it, these homies are created with the souls she sucks out of people, similar to Moria and his zombie army.

Spoiler: Source

During the escape trough the forest, Pudding used her ability to make the souls remember their old lifes to distract them.

Although, Moria was able to call the shadows back when he needed. So im not sure if it was planed (considering Moms condition at the time) but it sure could cause some problems when they face off again.

Love One Piece! I watched a good chunk of the anime (stopped at Dressrosa) and Im caught up with the manga which the latest 2 chapters having blowing peoples' minds. Also saw most of the movies, (the 3rd one was my favorite) expect for Gold Rush.

I love Sanji, Usopp, Luffy, Law, and a bunch of other characters. Most of the female characters kick butt, although Oda's design for females can be quite same face and plain.


For a manga thats been dominating most of shonen jump, not many people in america talk about it. Its something everyone knows but compared to Naruto or to a lesser extent Bleach, its a show that its a bit hard to garner how big of a fanbase it really has in the west.

Nor do people do a lot of fanfics or fanart for it, compared to naruto that has a shit ton of shipping and artworks.

I mean I still love the show but I often meet people who either like it but are not up to date with it, dislike it for its artstyle, or like it but only watch the anime.

Zeus, the cloud, Prometheus, the sun, and Napoleon, the bicorne, are all imbued with Big Mom's own soul which makes them ridiculously strong.

Also this:

We only have ID on one of these people (Boa Hancock on the top left), did we ever catch who the rest were?

And goddamn those spoilers were right on the money.

Spoiler: thoughts

-Kuma turning out to be a former king of a WG-aligned nation kind of makes sense for the motivation for destroying his mind (becoming a revolutionary) that they presented here but it doesn't exactly sit right with me. Wasn't he a Warlord of the Sea? Exactly what was the reason for using him and not someone else as the basis for the Pacifista project? The only thing he could get from that that I can think of is potentially unfettered access to Vegapunk to pick his brain for information about whatever for the Revs to use, but that's it (he can't exactly get that much info elsewhere if he's just a privateer and not something like a Cipher Pol agent or a Marine... can he?)

-Speaking of Warlords, Fujitora's talking his game plan with Cobra and Riku. I'd love to have seen that meeting real-time for once as opposed to the flashback we're inevitably going to get.

-I hope Charloss is all bark and no bite here, otherwise between his bitching, Roswald's comments about the Donquixote dissention from the ranks, and the shit from the last few pages, Mjosgard (and anyone he allies with, remember Ohara) may have some serious shit heading his way.

-Just what the hell is Jewelry Bonney's exact connection to Kuma anyway? Are we going to get an idea as to why Blackbeard (who knows waaaaay more than the main story implies) and Akainu considered her as important as they did (remember right before the timeskip).

-Meh, sabo. I'm remembering how Ivankov called Dragon after Marineford to talk about Kuma, I wonder how much he knows, and how much the Revolutionary Army's top brass doesn't...

-Out of 170 member nations, only 1/3 are invited to the world summit? And the world leaders consider Wano (and probably other non-member nations) to be anarchic. Considering that it's most likely the domain of the Beasts Pirates, they may not be that far off.

-The Kano Kingdom ruler is back, and he alludes to stuff to talk about, yet again.

-Five Elder Stars are shady motherfuckers once again, and they're referring to the Nefertari family as traitors for not joining the Twenty Kingdoms in heaven. Hmm....

-"Im" is probably a) someone who has the complete knowledge of the Blank Century and the ability to act on that info however he wishes or b) someone from that era who survived to this very day (given that he sits on the Empty Throne with no problem, and the Five Elder Stars are subservient to him and speak to him as if they would a prophet)

-Im has sliced up Luffy's and Blackbeard's wanted posters (chapter 906, the top two contenders for the One Piece? One has a smaller straw hat and there's something not right with the other), stabbed Shirahoshi's (aka the current Poseidon, one of the Ancient Weapons) picture, and is looking at Vivi's (Cobra's old and sick, and he may have even less time left if he's going to be talking poneglyphs with the Elder Stars, which makes her the last living descendant of the "traitor" of the 20 families that "began the world")...

Again I ask, what
the
fuck

And goddamn those spoilers were right on the money.

The OP subreddit (r/OnePiece) does a good job of vetting spoilers, and Yonkou Productions is sugoi!

Now let's break-up your huge post into smaller pieces and discuss:

Spoiler: My Responses

- Kuma turning out to be a former king of a WG-aligned nation kind of makes sense for the motivation for destroying his mind (becoming a revolutionary) that they presented here but it doesn't exactly sit right with me. Wasn't he a Warlord of the Sea? Exactly what was the reason for using him and not someone else as the basis for the Pacifista project? The only thing he could get from that that I can think of is potentially unfettered access to Vegapunk to pick his brain for information about whatever for the Revs to use, but that's it (he can't exactly get that much info elsewhere if he's just a privateer and not something like a Cipher Pol agent or a Marine... can he?)

- Alright, let's unpack this, Kuma was a King, then became a revolutionary, then became a Shichibukai, and is now a slave. I personally would probably guess that he was basically forced into being a lab rat for the Pacifista program, which eventually led to his slavery. Perhaps he was told it was either this or his country getting blown the fuck out. But man is his current state so sad.. I wouldn't rule out a mercy killing. Plus, he is probably the arc's wild card along with Green Bull.

-Speaking of Warlords, Fujitora's talking his game plan with Cobra and Riku. I'd love to have seen that meeting real-time for once as opposed to the flashback we're inevitably going to get.

I am guessing that Fujitora is gonna work with King Riku to end the Shichibukai program, they will probably draft a law to be voted on in the Reverie.

-I hope Charloss is all bark and no bite here, otherwise between his bitching, Roswald's comments about the Donquixote dissention from the ranks, and the shit from the last few pages, Mjosgard (and anyone he allies with, remember Ohara) may have some serious shit heading his way.

I think shit will indeed be flying, remember, they have a slave that can wipe the floor with nearly anyone who enters, though Kuma seems to be in a very bad condition.

-Just what the hell is Jewelry Bonney's exact connection to Kuma anyway? Are we going to get an idea as to why Blackbeard (who knows waaaaay more than the main story implies) and Akainu considered her as important as they did (remember right before the timeskip).

- Jewelry Bonney is the series' great enigma imo, not only does she infiltrate Mariejois, she also got caught just before the timeskip, yet somehow isn't in Impel Down. Personally, I expect that she's either his daughter or his wife.

-Meh, sabo. I'm remembering how Ivankov called Dragon after Marineford to talk about Kuma, I wonder how much he knows, and how much the Revolutionary Army's top brass doesn't...

Remember, Ivankov was in Impel Down for a while before Luffy busted him out. He would definitely be out of the loop for a minute there compared to someone like Sabo, who was there all along.

-Out of 170 member nations, only 1/3 are invited to the world summit? And the world leaders consider Wano (and probably other non-member nations) to be anarchic. Considering that it's most likely the domain of the Beasts Pirates, they may not be that far off.

I think the Wano Kingdom isn't part of the WG because of its role in creating the Ponyglyphs, that, and it currently being ruled by someone who isn't serving the WG.

-The Kano Kingdom ruler is back, and he alludes to stuff to talk about, yet again.

Yeah that Kano guy interests me greatly.

-Five Elder Stars are shady motherfuckers once again, and they're referring to the Nefertari family as traitors for not joining the Twenty Kingdoms in heaven. Hmm....

Yeah those old dudes are up to no good, and if I've read between the lines correctly, they're basically suggesting a new Void Century!

Also, note their fears of Cobra noticing some thing, I have a weird feeling that they were the ones to push Crocodile into launching his Alabasta coup in the 1st place, because there is no real reason for them to cover-up his defection/defeat otherwise, they didn't try to cover-up Law's defection, nor Blackbeard's, so why this one (and Doflaming0's, which only failed because of Fujitora)? With their feelings on the Nefertari family now known, they have a clear motive to do it.

-"Im" is probably a) someone who has the complete knowledge of the Blank Century and the ability to act on that info however he wishes or b) someone from that era who survived to this very day (given that he sits on the Empty Throne with no problem, and the Five Elder Stars are subservient to him and speak to him as if they would a prophet)

My personal theory on this Im guy: He's actually from that bygone era, and he's being kept alive by Bonney's powers. Hence her getting off scot-free in the time-skip. As always, we should expect anything at this point.

-Im has sliced up Luffy's and Blackbeard's wanted posters (chapter 906, the top two contenders for the One Piece? One has a smaller straw hat and there's something not right with the other), stabbed Shirahoshi's (aka the current Poseidon, one of the Ancient Weapons) picture, and is looking at Vivi's (Cobra's old and sick, and he may have even less time left if he's going to be talking poneglyphs with the Elder Stars, which makes her the last living descendant of the "traitor" of the 20 families that "began the world")...

The connection between BB and Luffy is far simpler: The 'D' initial.

Consider that Im is not just some Celestial Dragon, he's their fucking boss, and the D. family are his mortal enemies. Now also consider that we already know from WB's dying words that for some unrevealed reason, BB isn't the true heir of Roger.

Now combine the two facts, and Shanks' objective for meeting the Gorosei becomes clear: He wants to misdirect them and get them to focus on Marshall D. Teach rather than Luffy (i.e. he wants to use BB as a red herring to get their sights off Luffy and allow the latter to reach Raftel and change the world).

I suspect that this ploy won't work though (if it doesn't blow-back and give Teach further opportunities), because Chapter 906 shows us that Im has already made a mental connection between Luffy and the ancient Straw hat.

I honestly don't know about Vivi (she's not an interesting character to me tbh, Carue is based though lol), and I agree on Shirahoshi/Poseidon.

 

[Trombonista]

I've been thinking recently: When the anime gets to the Reverie, do you think they'll create a new eyecatch for Vivi?

 

[Kari Kamiya]

I screamed out "HOLY SHIT" at the end, not realizing my grandmother had arrived to get my little brothers to take to the movies. Lol no regrets.

But seriously
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT"
is the only response I have to this at the moment.

Chapter Secrets is now out for 908. Highly recommended to read it.

 

[Sperglord Dante]

Spoiler: So,

The Nefertari are on the World Government's shit list. Will they try to kill Viv and King Cobra on the reverie shamelessly?

 

[Kari Kamiya]

So my brothers and I got to talking a little bit 'cause the one started making a chart of the pyramid of power they got going on here, and I came up with something SUUUUUUPER exceptional, but I just have to share it with someone....

Spoiler: Beware of autism

Spoiler: Seriously this is fucking stupid

Spoiler: Oda wouldn't do this, would he?

 

[Fandom Trash]

Im loving this new chapter!

Spoiler: Spoilers

I really hope Sabo rescuse Kuma and free his mind. Its so sad to see this gentle giant just turn into emotionless monster.

And Bonney is here! Its great seeing the rest of the worst generation pirates. Im hoping on Wano we get to see Kid. But it seems she has a special relationship with kuma, especially since she came from the same kingdom. Maybe she's a princess? Or somethin else, but hopefully we will get to see more of her DF powers.


And last but not least, Im. This guy/girl is so creepy looking. And looks to be the final boss. Somebody said on reddit that the name could be " Im D King" since we see this person sit on the "unseated throne". Which means they are the king of all kings. Which would be interesting to see what others would do if they found out.


Also, a "great purging"? This doesnt sou d good for Luffy, Vivi and the mermaid princess. This could very well kill a lot of people and erase history.

I think the final villain has been revealed.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck

Spoiler: THEORY AHOY FOR PROSPERITY

Okay, so apparently the World King's name is Im, supposedly, right? He rules over everyone, including the Celestial Dragons who believe themselves to be above everyone and on par with God himself. Who the fuck evens knows if anyone outside of the Gorosei are aware of his existence.

God's called Elohim. We can even just say Him. Therefore, Im is named after God.

King Im is God, or has a severe God-complex.

The bearers of the Will of "D" are enemies of God.

King Im erased the Void Century to hide himself from view and his relationship with the Will of "D".

Stupidly or cleverly enough, King Im still put himself in between the lines of the history, the "legend", because of his God-complex. Learning about King Im ensures learning about the Void Century.

Learning about the Void Century and therefore God is forbidden. God wipes out all infidels to strike fear in the hearts of man.

Final battle will have Luffy finishing it off by punching King Im in the face while screaming "You're no God nor a King, you're just a man like I AM!"

WORLD PEACE IS




all in one piece.










God is so proud of Oda He lets him be King of Man, the King of kings.

Oda develops God-complex.

Oda enacts a worldwide Buster Call.

Rewrites history as new World Government arises from the ashes.

Oda calls himself Go D. Ichiro and rules over all.

One Piece becomes real life.

I've been thinking recently: When the anime gets to the Reverie, do you think they'll create a new eyecatch for Vivi?

I think not, they will probably use the eyecatch that matches the scene's mood the most. I personally predict heavy usage of the Zoro eyecatch.

 

[Fougaro]

You can count me as a One Piece fan as well. While I try to keep up with the newest chapters, so far I personally liked the Skypia arc the best for all the lulz and being overall god tier.

Welp, time to address the zou in the room and bring in the "Toei's ruining One Piece!" argument, starting with a Yonkou video that explains it.
