Man I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty intrigued by the ancient weapons of the world nobles.
Would be very interesting to see to see if each of them have their unqiue lore and feats in relation to the World Govt. conquering the world. I do find it interesting that Longinus feels a bit like an outlier amongst them given it's naming. The others all have vicious conotations, whereas Lognius in constrast feels a bit noble.
Also it seems like Oda is applying the actual legends of the blades into their actual abilities and their usage is also baked into the context it is used in. For example "Nemesis" was actively trying to defy Imu (god and order of the one piece world). Stigma is tied to branding marking and it's abilities are homing, Imu marks his targets with Omen and then attacks the mark and so on so Longinus will most likely be tied to invicibility/dominion. It's also interesting that Oda's pitting a Holy Spear against Sanji, a character with a lot of devil themes and even outright devil transformations when he's mad. So I can't help but feel that Oda is going to draw some sort of thematic contrast here. Yh I can't shake the feeling that Longinus will prove to be a weapon that cannot be countered logically speaking and I reckon PoL is gonna be the counter to it as that ability defies reason. Interested in what y'all thoughts are on this ^^
