Started with the mothers hugging their children, unable to stop them and choosing death and right after that, a massive Dragon accompanied by thunder and a trembling Elbaf emerging to change the battlefield dynamics.

Now, could the title refer to the mothers or to Loki? Oda intentionally blended those two in. Not to mention that the moms actually being powerless when it came to stopping their children isn't really the type of "strength" Oda referred to in the SBS, since the SBS was specifically talking about angry mothers strength rather than a mother's love.
The person that save kids and other and made the island trembling is luffy .
Loki also help change the battlefield dynamics but clear Oda put a lot care into .
Mother and everyone else trying and will to died with there kids and that the sort thing he views as being strong .
 
Wait a fucking second,

Did Oda just copy pasting both Luffy and Ragnir from previous chapter into the last page instead of drawing them?
Doesn't Oda do everything on paper and let his assistants do digital crap?

I really hope he hasn't discovered photoshop (or clip studio).
 
On the cover page, we see Roger tame a T-Rex! Pretty cool! But, it does kind of raise a question. Is this Roger on Little Garden, or is that someone with the T-Rex Zoan Fruit? Given the jungle look of the island, it's probably Little Garden, but still. So...Roger had a pet T-Rex! That's...new information! Does this confirm what his Giant Egg was? Was Roger breeding and raising dinosaurs like Pokemon? Probably not. But, it's something to keep in mind.

Huh. You know, I didn't even think about the Sea Clouds getting blown away, too, last chapter. Those kids are gonna die!

"Lord Imu's in there right now, not her!" That's...a weird way to put that. So casual. Like Gunko is basically a bathroom, or something.

And...Sommers is enjoying this WAY too much. He likes what he likes. I hope he likes it as much when it happens to him. Because if anyone's dying in this arc, it's probably going to be him.

The Giant Kids mentioning "Divine Punishment" is kind of interesting. Oda's planting something with that line. Probably something that happened with the 4 Gods back during the First World. But, we'll see. Given "Inherited Will" and Devil Fruits having some level of intelligence, some force judging their actions could actually be true, in this world.

"The Sun God pays special attention to naughty kids, you know." Now, that can be taken a completely different way. Given that the Strawhats are all kind of "seemingly villainous" in their own ways. Nami's a thief, Usopp's a liar, Sanji's from a family of supervillains, etc. Maybe the Sun God actually drafted "naughty kids" into his crew, back in the day? Nika might have thought they were funny. Or it could just be a reference to how Luffy is going around defeating villains on different islands. Nika could have done something similar. But, this could go a few different ways.

RIPLEY! This arc has a lot of good moms!

Ronja gets the praise she deserves! She's a trooper...who's about to be a para-trooper!

"I don't mind being scary" That's kind of a scary thing to say. She's kind of into it!

And Ange is there for little-giant orphan Johanna! Okay...I'll admit it...I was 110% wrong about Ange! Ange is a good person! I was suspecting her of maybe being some sort of secret Government plant. But, there's NO WAY that's happening now.

This entire scene is just really touching! This was a good moment.

Good thing they all get saved by falling on Luffy's fat tummy. A new "attack"! Gum-Gum Rice Cracker Belly! It's basically just a variant of Gum-Gum Balloon, but still, nice quick thinking on Luffy's part.

"I'm the Great Destroyer! I'm not responsible for anybody's safety!" Me thinks Loki doth protest too much. Also...this line feels like it's here to be ironic on a number of levels. I think we'll be looking back on this line, later. Especially if this turns out to be one of the God Fruits with a previous incarnation during the First World.

It starts snowing. I'm guessing that's part of Loki's powers at work. Snow, thunder...I'm guessing he can control storms? Maybe this is Loki's version of the Drums of Liberation? Kind of like how Luffy can make the world "dance" with his power? Maybe Loki being able to create storms is just a environmental effect of this Devil Fruit?

Gear 5 Luffy riding Dragon-Loki! The Nidhoggr is REAL! This is a great double-page spread! Gotta love how all the Nightmares are just no match for this thing. And Imu's about to see them both. So, if Imu is going to retreat, it's going to be pretty soon. Either we're just starting a big battle. Or this is basically the end of Elbaph. I guess we'll see in two weeks, after the break. *SIGH*.

I will say though, Loki's Dragon form does look a little strange. Cool! But, strange. It's all black, which feels like it implies that Loki is totally covered in Haki. And it's got flaming eyes, which we've never seen on a Dragon of any kind before. Also...no pupils. I don't know. It feels like this "Dragon" isn't totally "real" to me? Personally, I'm still wondering if Loki could be made of Legos? We never did explain the Legos that Road had. Hopefully, Oda fully reveals the name of Loki's Fruit next chapter.

there's a genuine reason for this destroyer/liberator duality especially since devil fruits are born from human imagination.
You'd think a fruit like that would be Blackbeard's....

I really hope Teach doesn't slay Loki and steal his fruit.
:hurry:

Tbh I guess it would make sense thematically and make the fatass waaay more of a threat but I don't want it to happen, my heart is not ready for WB 2.0
:amazing:
 

ZenZu

The only one who can beat me is me
What are the chances Oda is one of the redacted names in the Epstein files? Someone put a stop to this man.

This mangaka is beyond washed, someone needs to take over the art at the very least for him, a 5 year old can draw the last few pages. It starts snowing/raining thunder and that's the best panel he could come up with? Don't even get me started on that goofy ass silhouette of a design for Loki.

Looks like toei is gonna have to save his ass again.
 
what's up with that btw? Once again in this chapter Loki refered himself as a destroyer
There was that idea Loki would realize he's the fake sun god upon seeing Luffy's G5 but that already happened off-screen and with this prophecy thing at the end I feel it's more complex than this and there's a genuine reason for this destroyer/liberator duality especially since devil fruits are born from human imagination.
Luffy is the god of liberation, destruction, and laughter. Idk why so many people think they’re mutually exclusive.

Luffy will liberate the oppressed by destroying the “World” (aka Imu or EoS BB) and bring laughter

Teach wont eat a dragon fruit, his last will likely be a Kraken fruit

I still don't know why Oda refuses to take in other artists who assists him.

Hybrid form will look cool bro trust
 
Thats what I was saying in the spoiler thread and like 5 people pounced on me for the idea lol

Not that it HAS to be true, but given how many times Elbaph has referenced it, including Loki himself, makes me think its very possible in the least that Loki's fruit is part of the Sun God legend.

Like Jarul doesnt say "And the Sun God and ___ God or Hell Serpent descends". He says only one God, which either implies Loki is part of it or Loki is none of the Gods to begin with.

The Harley names other Gods in its text, and yet it doesnt name anything but the Sun God here.
I think loki just sees him self as that at one point in time he saw rocks as that and he did not even have a DF.
End of the chapter jural is for certain talking about luffy and it make loki seem more like side character to him .
Hopefully things will get explain more later on as to what role loki will play since we already know nika\sun god \luffy role .

I don't see why BB would want loki DF .
Being huge is disadvantage most of the time .
Plus if loki even try come near BB he get taken out of that form so fast it would be funny .
I know loki is the new hotness by BB is so broken even if he fight sloppy .
I don't see why people think he need another DF .
