Xebec, Harald & Loki are the 3 characters around whom the story revolved this year. They have the most valid arguments to be called "character of the year". Dragon, the Figarland family, Roger & Garp come next.

I see your point. But if the Lunarians were ruling the world at a certain point, do you think Oda would depict the Ancient Kingdom as the exterminators that took their land, only to later be defeafed by the Celestial Dragons? That would put the Ancient Kingdom under a dark shadow, not very...

I guess the definition of God's Land is still open enough for interpretation, so it could be as you say too. I think the Lunarian were seen as superior beings by the people of the sea but they never controlled the world below. They possibly had very little contact with the world of the surface...

800 years ago, the World Governament was officially founded and 19 Monarchs moved to the top of the Red Line. Legends say that the Red Line was also called the Land of the Gods even before the Celestial Dragons settled there, since it was the home of the Lunarians: an extremely resilient race...

Yep I calculated those years based on Elbaf going on until chapter 1200, roughly, maybe even chapter 1225 (100 chapters total). Which means the totality of 2026 in Elbaf and maybe a part of 2027. Anyway, I agree with you that at least 2 more wars are needed seen the quantity of characters. I...

1300? More like 1400 minimum. And 1500 is the safest bet. Get yourself confortable boys, we have still a 8-9 years long trip ahead of us.

I think that's Oda's aim. At the end of the day, the one between the Knights/Elders and Imu is a Deal with the Devil.

I guess that really depends on the individual and, with some good writing, Oda could show us a spectrum of Knights/Elders that already had that inclination and others that were pressured into it. Similar to the layers or nature v. nurture we saw with Doflamingo and Rocinante. I think the...

I think it was explained, in this chapter, that Knights of God are not really controlled by Imu: Imu only removes their inhibitory brakes, their moral constraints, making them feel supreme and above everybody else. Which means that Imu only removes what makes them good human beings, the Knight...

Oda the crazy man basically telling us Garling is a Conqueror without stating it out loud for now

Of course most of the Knight of God couldn't have CoC too, they would've been to OP, but Figarland Family is an exception.

In case you didn't know, Oda recently shared the sketch names he considered for Garling, before ultimately choosing his current one. I found this trivia quite interesting and gave some thoughts to each of the names listed. I'm sharing them here: Garland --> If the order means something, this...

Indeed. Agenda, while making the weekly pace of One Piece after almost 30 years more entertaining, distorts the vision of a good majority of the readers. The core of the cause is that agenda completely removes the context in which things happen. I could list countless examples... In my opinion...

Harald is a great character. To think some people around here compare him to Oden...
