Yeah, it's worth remembering that Ginny orchestrated what became the God Valley Incident by leaking and broadcasting news of the Celestial Dragons' tournament and their treasure out to the pirate community as a child. Like mother, like daughter, I suppose.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure about that. Obviously there is the emotional desire many of us are feeling right now to see Kuma finally get his long deserved win and triumph fully over his enslavers and be the person who saves his daughter. It's certainly a plausible route and I wouldn't be...

Man, it's hard not to get worried about Oda's health and the workflow after reading this chapter. That said, the rough art aside, Kuma's backstory continues to be one of the most emotional narratives in One Piece.

Yeah, this is where I generally lean on the matter. Imu is rather obviously the grand scope endgame villain of One Piece, but I would not be the least bit surprised if Blackbeard gets the actual last fight with Luffy.

Agreed. Vivi won't be replacing Chopper as the ship's doctor, even if she does eat the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi and rejoin the SHs. Though admittedly I wouldn't be surprised if she were to sometimes support the rest of the crew by using her new DF powers to heal their wounds as needed. Realistically...

It really feels to me like the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi has low key been a pivotal Chekov's Gun for the series, especially if Lili did in fact use her abilities to save the poneglyphs and ensure that the World Government could never proper destroy them.

I appreciate the quote! Thanks, Admiral! :cheers:

Fan service aside, it just occurred to me now that in addition to the cats being there with Vivi, we also have those two golden statues of dragons above them. Much like how Kuma, Ivankov and Jinney planned to steal the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi and Uo Uo no Mi: Model Seiryu Devil Fruits at God Head Valley.

Y'know what? I want in on this here club! :myman:

Verrrrrrryyyyyyy interesting detail there. :amazing:

I may be more than a little passionate about this particular theory! :milaugh:

And in that same chapter, Oda also included an artwork of Vivi playing a harp as the chapter art! :myman:

My money's still on Kizaru pulling a heel turn and potentially dying at Saturn's hand. Oda's been putting a fair bit of teases that Kizaru's conscious is finally starting to weigh on him over his orders to assassinate an old friend and his open acknowledgement that he's effectively just as much...

Yep. Moreover, Vivi was the character on the chapter cover for the chapter where Oda first introduced Kuma's DF powers back in Thriller Bark.

So can I. But I figured I'd start off a bit easy! I just find it perplexing how some folks seem to simultaneously act as though the admirals are both heroes in this and also the biggest non-Imu/Blackbeard threat that Luffy and the Straw Hats have to take down. Mind you, I do think we might see...

I can think of at least one admiral who'd probably do it...

While I think there's a good chance that Bonney will also join the Straw Hats (or at least travel alongside them for the rest of the final saga), I doubt she'll be able to pull a Blackbeard. I still think it's more likely that it'll be Vivi who gets the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi. But I do think Lilith...

Vivi getting her proper Sixth Ranger moment in 2024.

"Where were the Admirals at while the God Valley Incident was happening?!" In all seriousness though, who knows? We clearly haven't gotten the full picture of the God Valley Incident yet and it's not impossible that Admirals were deployed after Garp.

Another detail to remember is that this isn't the first time that a character in One Piece has compared the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi to that of a Cat before! Robin made the same comparison way back in the day. Agreed. And funny enough, this would also help solve another potential issue that would...
