Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 1139 : “The Mountain Eater”

If Gaban styles on Zoro I'm also deleting my account

Why lmao

I suppose that’s true, for years we did have “Ray is actually Sanji“ “Ray is a mixture of Zoro and Sanji”, which we can happily put to bed.

But I really don’t see the need for going full on Naruto style parallels. I can’t wait now to see Joy Boy’s collected right hand samurai from Wano and his woman Vinsmoke left hand.

And while Oda has planned this, I think he could have done a better job. Ray (and Crocus) worked quite well because when they were introduced the Roger Pirates still had a huge degree of mystique about them.

But since Ray’s introduction that’s been pretty much stripped to zilch, and we‘ve seen more and more of them, and while the hardocre fans always knew there was this copper character floating around, I think Oda could have tried to set him up a bit better.

Arguably the anime did a better job by at least having him fight with Oden for a bit lol.

I just can’t shake the feeling that it would be more effective, if Oda wants to use Gaban, to actually swap around when Ray and Gaban are introduced. If Gaban had Ray’s role, we’d then be thinking “oh, we’ve seen the number 3, can’t wait to see when the number 2 shows up and what he’s like.”

When you’ve already seen a great deal of the number 2 (and in Oden, the number, what, 2.5, 3.5?), there’s considerably less impact when 3 shows up. Especially when the author doesn‘t really bother to set up the number 3 much until right at when he appears.

As I said in spoiler thread, Roger pirates intros have lot to do with prophecy than just some random occurrences.

I firmly believe Roger pirates were tasked to be at crucial islands to guide the one who will appear on right time.


Roger - started the pirate erae
Crocus - at the beginning of Grandline
Ray - at the end/beginning of New World
Gaban - in the Elbaph in World Strongest country.

Oda won't spoil either of these before their actual time so he held onto Gaban until Elbaph

Average nik post

There is no mention of Rayleigh or Gaban being equal to Roger in the chapter

Pew trolled the whole fandom with the rival bs, if gaban doesnt deliver enough all this could backfire imo. People didnt learn with kizaru when oda hype sanji it mean an L is on the way simultanuously.

@nik87 explaining how this bad translation means that Zoro = Luffy but not Sanji = Luffy

Almost same thing, I was suffocating cuz of my saliva.

 

[BleakAsh]

But given their weak mentality they will only push the Zoro = Sanji agenda and not Sanji = Luffy agenda.

How is taking digs at a prominent controversial narrative weak mentality wise.. as compared to a narrative everyone agrees is unlikely to be the case.

Disingenuous ngl

Still trying to weasel Roger out of it I see

No coping can change it

I am talking about those who actually know the history.

They all were at the crucial islands. And, it goes in line with Roger starting pirate age.

 

[SakazOuki]

Roger treasure - wealth
Rayleigh Mei’ou - fame
Gaban mountain eater giant fucker - power

[omegalul]

loki killed harald 14 years ago

no could stop him from setting sail and fleeing elbaf, assuming gaban tried

loki > gaban (close to his prime)

gaban = ray, confirmed (at best ray >= gaban)

shanks > loki

shanks > ray
