The praise Xebec gets from the fandom is so rare. Usually it's the admirals who get all that love. This shows that Oda could write better characters but chose to wait 1150 chapters to start the story of the real main-character :josad:
 
I don't know how @Jika keeps on bro, this dude has the mental resilience of a Buddhist priest :crazwhat:

His parallel was one shot by a Mr 5 clone :hope:
Just be here for his return. Funny to see everyone to be using this as downplay lol, when we know when kidd returns he's fighting another yonko/admiral...



Going to be epic seeing people downplay luffy cuz of this lol.

On the cover page, we got Luffy doing parkour with monkeys. Other Luffy's number of 56 (for "go-mu"), I don't think there's anything hidden in this. But, it does look less like Luffy's jumping from rooftop to rooftop and more like everyone's just flying through the sky.

Imu/Saturn just starts attacking EVERYONE, calling them all eyesores. That's...strange. I kind of wonder if who Imu possesses changes Imu's personality a bit? It does feel more like something Saturn would do. I guess we just haven't seen enough of Imu to really make a call here.

"This pain! It's oddly...compelling!" Um...wut? Odd reaction. Yeah, Imu's doing something else here. I'm just not sure what. I'd say this is Imu infecting people to get Reversi'd, but Imu didn't do that back on Elbaph, so probably not. I'm guessing there's something here that doesn't quite translate easily?

Rocks calls Imu "The Rat King". That could be a joke, or it could be foreshadowing something. Probably both, knowing Oda. It does bring to mind the Rat King from the Nutcracker. Not sure what the significance could be, though. Imu used to be someone weak who declared themselves king, perhaps? There is another type of "rat king" where a group of rats gets tangled up together. So...maybe Imu is actually a collection of different people's desires or a literal Demon King like Tot Musica?

Imu calling Rocks "Davy Jones" is kind of interesting. And it does parallel Saturn and the Gorosei calling Luffy "Nika". There's a trend, here. I'm not sure if this is a hint that Imu never actually met Davy Jones before. Or if it's just Imu calling people by their "past incarnation".

Okay, Rocks' line about "believing promises should be kept" immediately brings to mind the apology poneglyph at Fishman Island that Joyboy left. So...that's another hint that Davy Jones could be Joyboy's real name, I'd say.

"Mu's world...remains incomplete" That's a interesting line! Now, if Imu is "The World", what stopped Imu from completely "transforming" the world into their desired form? Imu never fully won the title of "The World"?

Captain John DOES seem to have Kidd's Magnet Fruit. Nice to have that confirmed. And the Rocks Pirates are turning on each other again. Typical, but bad timing.

"You jealous? Check this out!" Heh. You gotta love younger Kaido's cocky attitude now that he has the Dragon Fruit.

And EVERYONE uses a attack on Imu! Great splash page! And what seems to be Rocks' attack is interesting. "Pandemonium of the Abyss/Curse of the Abyss". So...Imu isn't the only one who can use "Abyss" type powers? Rocks can access the Abyss powers, too, perhaps? Interesting. Especially, if they are connected to "psychic" powers like I personally am speculating. We still haven't learned what Rocks' Devil Fruit is yet. So...maybe he doesn't actually have one? Maybe Rocks' powers are all "telekinetic" blasts from using the Abyss?

"A pirate's priorities never waver" Interesting line. Also interesting that Rayleigh's saying that while carrying Shakky.

Wait...baby Shanks got replaced by a log in Dragon's arms?! That's...a ninja technique! A substitution jutsu?! There was a ninja on God Valley?! Or...baby Shanks has ninja powers?! Am I reading any of this right?! Also...Dragon didn't save anyone! Dragon's spotless record of achieving NOTHING remains intact!

Uh oh...Rocks gets Domi Reversi'd! Huh, I guess that disproves the idea that the Davy Clan are immune to that. Imu's little tentacles are creepy. I'm still wondering what the rules are for getting Reversi'd, though.

It looked like Imu used to show up and fight instead of hiding, and Garp is one of the people in that battle that is still alive in the present.

Wonder what it's going to take for Imu to reveal themselves to the public after always hiding from the battle.
 
Law has potential to be easily in Top5 EoS


He has everything going on for him unlike Kidd

Kidd has the potential to be top 3 eos by far... Started the fight solo vs a yonko for chapters. Took down a yonko with zero haki and no god fruit. Tanked an absurd amount in elbaf.

Keep in mind he broke big mom's arm with no haki.

He also overpowered acoc + soul focus with damned punk and no acoc.

And regardless Law doesn't have the same drive/will to go farther than kidd. Theres a reason why Oda gave acoc to kidd and not law. Even look at Law’s reaction after the fight vs Big mom and compare it to kidd.
 
Garp is really dumb, but I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt and say he probably got his memory wiped by the previous user of Pudding's fruit, he's too valuable as a fighter to just eliminate whenever he gets out of control.

He is also a hype tool for Oda.

I do see Kidd ending up as strong but I think Law has slightly higher ceiling

I think the only person there that knows about Imu is Rocks. The rest think they are fighting a monster, or Saturn.
