Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1167 Spoilers Discussion

No i disagree. See my other comments. Imo they are just 13 and Gorosei are separate from this.

It makes no sense for Gorosei to offer a Sea Floor contract to Harald if it means uprooting one of them.

- Surface = Blades of God
- Deep/Sea Floor = 2 Levels of God Knights (probably Top 3 Sea Floor vs 10 Deep)
- Unknown 4th level = Gorosei

Also, do the counts between GV and Elbaf, there are 9 publically named God Knights already by Elbaf (subtract Garling if he was promoted to Gorosei)
You right, Gorosei separate themself and says you might meet even a GOD after you get Abyss level
:endthis:
 
Imu has 13 Chosen. The number 13 is considered unlucky.

In Norse Myth, Loki was the 13th (uninvited) guest at a banquet for the gods, and it caused the death of Baldr the God of Light.
In the last supper, its said Judas was the 13th guest who betrayed Jesus.

Shanks or Harald will be the 13th Holy Knight (Judas) and betray Imu.
Not sure how to connect the Loki myth to our current day Loki, unless he becomes the 13th Knight and fights Luffy.
I’m pretty sure the 13 is just because a group of 13 is called a Devils Dozen
 
Not a defense, but to me this a Japanese culture issue more than anything blatant about Oda's "alleged" preferences. Literally until a few years ago consent was 13 lmao. I dont think this was ever meant to be taken in a weird way, especially given the series is aimed at boys Shirahoshi's age and its not like there arent other authors doing weirder shit with even younger Characters (Boruto....).

The reason Oda still supported Wakatsuki and Toriko's Author is because Japan's work culture is toxic as hell and he's worked with both of them historically. Hell, people bootlick Tite Kubo because he didnt draw supprt art for Kenshin but he's also out there drawing 15 year olds provocatively and doing weird shit in Bleach BEFORE the TYBW timeskip. Casca was DEFINITELY on the young side during the Eclipse, if you know what I mean. I could go on and on about this.

Just my two cents on that. A think a worse one is S-Snake if we had to use an example though, it draws a very "real" line on attraction considering Oda had to defend that the reason Usopp or Franly turned to stone was because they thought she was a cute kid, not attractive.


I already have drawn a line in the sand personally. If it comes out that Oda himself has done anything suspect then I'm done with the series entirely. But right now its just blatant Japan culture and people need to understand that or stop reading manga entirely because this shit stinks nationally.
This is all true but wasn't Casca around 19 during the Eclipse?
 
I believe @Rumble theorized that Sommers will get axed this arc and Doffy will replace him.

But I also see Gunko getting "freed"
It was Gunko I thought would get replaced, because I believed Imu would push her to her limits in his confrontation with Luffy and be forced to cut her loose to deal with the threat in the Holyland, which I believe to be the Blackbeard Pirates taking advantage of Devon assuming the likeness of Saturn.
 
Ngl I was sympathetic to Harald but the seeming enthusiasm he has for the whole system is a turnoff.

I hope he's just deferential and not this much of a beggar.

Also, does anyone else feel weirded by this whole dynamic?

Like it seems the WG is super fussy about letting Elbaph join, when it was lampshaded as the strongest nation which the current WG wants.

Like, what gives?
