Akainu is 55 The incident at that reverie happened 56 years ago. Unless Akainu's mom was impregnated literally right before he died (as literally within that 9-12 months), it likely isn't Akainu's dad. And I don't think Oda would really set up Akainu to simply be an Admiral son, too boring...

Maybe I'm not a giga brain 500 IQ powerscaler, but what fucking difference would that make lmfao Are sword attacks not, ya know, swordsmanship?

It was just OK until Xebec showed up. A sad but not out of the ordinary One Piece backstory of shitty upbringing. Xebec himself has been amazing not only for what he's doing lore and worldbuilding wise, but because he's like throwing an agenda molotov in the middle of one piece agenda posters...

Don't disrespect Akainu's lineage like that. Akainu Sr. would never be such a feckless jobber.

Guy was incompetent. NEVER would have happened on the GREAT Kong's watch.

I'm surprised that no Shanks fan hasn't simply pivoted to claiming that his sword, Gryphon, wasn't just fed a Mythical Gryphon zoan devil fruit, and that he uses Gryphon as a duo proxy in real fights. It's the simplest out from the swordsmanship conversation. His brother Shamrocks' sword ate...

I think it's Imu if I had to bet money today. BB a close second but I think he's more likely to be a general antagonist in the OP race than in the story finisher. But I refuse to rule Akainu out of it too. He's got perhaps the single biggest vendetta against him by Luffy, as much if not more...

Yeah definitely is a big cunning planner type, I just think he doesn't really care to setup a plan B if his plan A goes awry and is more of a "fuck it, we ball" type.

Au contraire, Kuma waddled around with his Good Book always, as any good God fearing man should. 1752796834 Agreed on the differences in their appeal, though I don't think Teach is as cautious as you think. Remember when Augur chided him for charging into the fight with Law only half-ready...

Chad that made it to the flower room then slapped an admiral around*

It'll be extremely interesting to see what happens on Hachinosu and if it reveals what the crown jewel is. It being a devil fruit would be mildly disappointing so long as it is specifically the yami yami or gomu gomu or something.

Great chapter. Oda was even more specific about Rocks' skull design on his jolly roger, including that one specific swirl in it. I really wonder what that's about. Also, Loki's fixation specifically on "the world" seems less nefarious as him being into Rocks plan of conquering the world. I...

Considering his skeletal nature, it's probably similar to Brook freezing people. In Oda's eyes, skeletons = spooky, spooky stuff = cold (cuz hell/death/underworld is cold etc), therefore being extra spooky makes them manifest ice powers somehow, like Brook's Fishman Island fight. You could make...

I don't think she'll be irrelevant towards the end of the story because I think her story interweaves with the WG storyline in a lot of ways. Who her real father is, how they did genetic experiments in the WG, the fact she's basically a proto-Joyboy. But she is still just a kid, and a kid that...

Luffy always has blind spots for people in the long run if he thinks they can help them short term. Him being forgiving to Caribou and helping him off Wano, only for him to defect to Blackbeard, is going to end up endangering both Shirahoshi and/or Wano as well as potentially himself.

To be honest I have no idea what Oda wants to even do with Kid. Law usurped him in popularity as a rival supernova, he isn't as threatening an adversary as Blackbeard or Shanks, he doesn't have the wild card gag to him like Buggy, and he seems completely irrelevant against the backdrop of the...

Worth noting as I mentioned elsewhere: Blackbeard is 40 years old. God Valley happened 38 years ago. Meaning BB was born while Rocks was still active with his crew (including Whitebeard). Teach's baby momma was probably some floozy Rocks banged while out piratin' and never looked back. +1...

Depends on a bunch of different circumstances, I personally think the simplest guess is that Roger simply lost a fight against him during the year and it bruised his ego. GV happened 38 years ago. Roger pirates found Lodestar 39 years ago, learned they needed more info to find Laugh Tale. Some...

Well, presumably it's a light/warm color because it's blank, and with all the blondies in his crew who's to say the guy ain't got black-and-yellow striations. Knowing Oda it'll be some weird pink or some shit.

But Teach being brought onto WB's ship as an orphan was after Oda introduced the idea of Rocks and God Valley (leading into Oden's flashback). There's no way he created the concept of Rocks and only recently decided to tether him to Blackbeard. Although I admit I exaggerated Whitebeard's...
