Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1134 Spoilers Discussion

Then color me disappointed because its unnecessary imo and really has no justification existing after 28 years of publication, yet here we are.
its really unfortunate if it's the case, because it's like "I want to write Shanks do some evil/shady stuff because it's interesting/crazy and more complex, but I'm scared to write it, so I'll just make it a Shanks 2, he has the same voice and design"
 
I mean it’s possible for an unimportant character to take up more story space than an important one (look at how all the strawhats are occasionally sidelined for arc characters)
I mean sure but we talking about the final arc here in this context. So thats not relevant in this discussion. We saw the gorosei already fight, some of them showed even hybrid form. We saw their characterization, even some of their inner thoguhts. We saw them interact with the main cast without provoking any meaningful connection (maybe you can count the zoro nusjuro hary potter wand moment). They are overall boring as fuck


And, this is the most important part, even if you are a big power scaling guy that doesnt care about nothing else: We saw how they are mere tools for imu and their powers can be taken in a matter of minutes from one and granted to another. Given that the likes of Saturn couldnt really fight for example, beside the grantes powers from DF and/or imu powers there is also not even a argument if you think oda cares about power level that much

Imu could give the power of gorosei to charlos and it would fulfill the same purpose those characters fulfill now

Why are you cooking so much?:kizawat::kizawat:
 
Why are you cooking so much?:kizawat::kizawat:
Im always cooking :sanmoji:but yeah tldr; The hk will be just more important characters that they have the potential (i mean shonks - luffy alone ensures that already) to have more reveals and connection. The gorosei are just copy paste power vessels
Obviously something in the future could change things but so far i dont see it

Tbh im more interested in the woman than pranks in this chapter because of that reason for example
 
I’ve already explained this, just accept Whanks >> everyone else and then carry on other agendas.

You’re only going to get hurt downplaying Oda’s self insert
:josad:
Yep Oda loves Shanks too much to have him be a villain.

Akainu and goathawk>>>>
Imagine thinking that Oda gives Mihawk the same respect as Shanks.:suresure:

Akainu yes but Mihawk nope.:absojustice:

Of course Danks and Garling being related to Shanks gives them special elevation in the story… That doesn’t randomly mean the entire holy knights group is elevated above the Gorosei… again, garling’s promotion cements that The Gorosei are above them

this is like a Katakuri and big mom situation… Big mom is obviously more important than Katakuri but Katakuri ended up the actual arc villain that Luffy defeated… Luffy is probably going to get a full 1v1 against Danks this arc and may actually never fight the Gorosei and just go straight to Fighting Imu… So Danks is like the Katakuri and The Gorosei are like Big mom(who Luffy will never fight)
Well said

Nah the more you upplay Saint Shanks, the more evil he is going to be in the end. Lol

Already all the people who think this is a clone have zero evidence aside from the fact that we haven’t seen Saint Shanks’ scar. As far as we can tell, this chapter is literally confirmation that Saint Shanks is a demonic holy knight lol.

I’m waiting for raws because I’m curious but we all seemed to be under a universal understanding that chapter 907 was confirmation that Saint Shanks is a WG rat, until some really fringe ass theorists made up some claim based on nothing because they couldn’t accept that Oda was foreshadowing evil Saint Shanks without fully revealing evil Saint Shanks yet.

And it’s like I said for a decade, this is literally the only thing Oda could do to redeem Saint Shanks’s character. I mean do yall really think this series is going to end with 19 year old Luffy fawning over Saint Shanks like a child? Time to grow the fuck up lmfao, One Piece is a subversive manga. OP begins with child Luffy fawning over Saint Shanks for no reason, OP ends with Luffy realizing Saint Shanks was evil all along. All the people denying this don’t understand Shonen plot structure.

Never meet your idols kids.

Nope. He never does.

You’ve misremembered or gotten confused by all the discussions we have on this website.

Vegapunk never once says the World government is the one doing it

the only time he mentions the world government in 9 chapters is when he says the world government is the one that fought Joyboy 800 years ago and he cannot determine who was right or wrong in that war 800 years ago… That’s it… after that, Vegapunk never brings up the world government EVER AGAIN
he does, but you need the ability to remember something after it stops being on screen.

Vegapunk’s Speech — The One Piece Podcast here is a transcript. ill connect the dots for you.

Now, speaking of the near future for me, assuming that the sensors I built are functioning correctly, in the days after I record this message there should be a most remarkable earthquake that strikes the entire planet. As a result of that, the sea should rise about one meter around the world, thereby rendering some islands uninhabitable. Beaches around the world will be lost for good. If I am wrong in this prediction, feel free to disregard the rest of this message. If this has happened, however, you should heed my words very carefully! This particular earthquake is not exactly what I would call a “natural phenomenon.”
1. There is an earthquake that is not a natural phenomenon. It will cause sea levels to rise.

Allow me to explain just what it is that is happening to our world:

From about 900 years ago to 800 years ago — a period of a century — there is a span of history that is completely and entirely blank. We call this the “Void Century” because all records from this time were eliminated. The only means to know this piece of history is to find a message from the past in the form of Poneglyphs scattered across the world and decipher its contents. However, the World Government has made it a crime of the highest order to decipher the message of the Poneglyphs, and despite being a member of the Government itself, I broke this law. That was my second sin.
2. Vegapunk says that what he's about to explain is something that he learned by reading the poneglyphs.

The main character of this story was born into a kingdom with an impossibly advanced civilzation 900 years ago. Like the Sun God Nika spoken of in Elbaf legend, he fought with a body that stretched and contracted … his name was Joyboy and he was the very first man on this sea to be called a pirate. As for why he was called a pirate, I have only read from a handful of Poneglyphs but what I found there was the record of a breathtakingly vast war. Joyboy’s enemy was the World Government of the present day.
3. The thing he learned is that the World Government suppresses the story of the void century because the story is about the World Government defeating the ancient kingdom in a breathtakingly vast war. The World Government is the ruler of the world today, so obviously they won. Vegapunk does not need to say "the world government won". we know this. we aren't babies.

We are currently living on the pieces of a continent that existed long ago. The world of a millennium ago now slumbers unseen at the bottom of the sea. In fact, one can assume that in the past there were a number of continents we know nothing about. If the world were still the same as it was in the past, then the act of erasing 100 years of history would be simply unthinkable and impossible. However, it makes much more sense when you understand that the rise in sea level over that century was over 200 meters.
4. The erasure of history is enabled by the dramatic sea level rise of over 200 meters. If just the 1 meter sea level rise was bad, this is obviously cataclysmic.

As for why the sea level rose so much during the Void Century, it would be natural to assume the work of a sudden natural disaster, but I can state for a fact that this was a man-made disaster! If such a cataclysm were caused by natural forces, then the initial disaster would have spanned several centuries and inflicted slow but continual damage upon the world. However, by any measurement — be it climatology, geology, environmental and atmospheric science, this dramatic shift could not have happened within a single century. So, the cause is something else. When I detected the rise in worldwide sea levels the other day … I had my answer.

I knew the cause and confirmed its existence: the ancient weapons that sank the world into the sea 800 years ago still exist today, and await the moment that they stir once again. In other words, the vast war that arose during the Void Century never came to an end!
5. The cause of the sea level rising both 800 years ago and today is the Ancient Weapons that were used in the Void Century war. The weapons are still being used, and the war never really ended. The World Government has already been named as responsible earlier in the speech. This part of the speech is where Vegapunk blames the World Government of the present day for sinking the world.
