I think it probably is being done on purpose. And probably for a specific purpose.
For one thing, hyping up Rocks is also hyping up Blackbeard. Since, they're obviously so related. Making Rocks seem super strong, makes us associate that same strength with Blackbeard. We really haven't...
It could allow you to hear the "voice" of inanimate objects. Like getting a "psychic read" off a item, to hear about it's history. Psychometry, basically.

Or perhaps, even hear things through time. We know Joyboy had oddly good...
You think this is a joke?! You think this is some some ha-ha funny gag time?! Well, you're wrong! This has been a plot point Oda has been cooking in the background for nearly the entire duration of the manga!
Because someone DOES have the Boob-Boob Fruit aka the Pyo-Pyo no Mi! And I can...
I feel like everyone's ignoring one potential avenue of thought this could go down.
What if Tritoma had love sickness for Shakky?
I don't think anyone's ever said you could only get love sickness for someone of the opposite gender.
Tritoma did seem to be one of the Kuja who were in charge of...
A Nika and/or Joyboy sidestory would be the obvious choices. Personally, actually getting to see the fall of the First World seems more appealing to me. It'd end up being a tragedy, but it'd be interesting to see this advanced society destroy itself. Seeing the rise of the Gods. There's a...
Shonen Jump is doing a collaboration with Pokemon, so everyone gets a Pokemon on the cover. Luffy gets Pikachu! That's...actually kind of a terrible matchup, honestly. It'd be a funny interaction, like Luffy and Enel. But, I don't feel like Pikachu really suits Luffy, even if they are both...
I guess I see it as Joyboy, not Nika, personally.
In the mural, he's surrounded by a army, and we know there was a big war during the Void Century in the Second World. And Emet the Giant Robot looks to be right there with everyone, who was friends with Joyboy specifically. So, I feel like...
I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Joyboy was modeled a bit after Joseph Joestar circa Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2 Battle Tendency.
Joyboy could have some amazing Future-Sight, that allows him to set up traps for his enemies. Predicting what they're going to do quite a bit ahead of...
Personally, I'm kind of wondering if it's a "remembering your past life" thing.
Blackbeard seems to know a lot about Rocks' plan when they probably have never met. And Rocks doesn't quite seem like the kind of guy to keep a "diary" full of his plans that Blackbeard could read after the fact...
Personally, I'd say Vegapunk being able to replicate many Devil Fruits says that they probably are technology. Most of the post-timeskip was even showing us the "assembly line" for how SMILES, and thus Devil Fruits, are "built". It's just that the First World was able to unravel the advanced...
Probably...but maybe not in the way most expect?
In a way, the "afterlife" is already a part of the story. More in the form of "reincarnation" than in a place your soul goes after death. "Souls", at least, are playing a big part in the story. With Brook's Soul King powers, and Vegapunk's...
I'm not sure about a Davy Back Fight.
But, there's one thing to remember. Cross guild, at the end of the day, is a business.
So, couldn't Blackbeard just...hire them to join his crew? I feel like if Blackbeard offered Buggy a literal boatload of money, Buggy wouldn't be able to stop...
Hmm...yes and no?
I'm not sure if he could make something that's technically the same as a Sky Island. Solid Sea Clouds have a element called pyrobloin in it, which is the same element found in Sea Stone. I don't think Smoker can produce a element that would weaken himself inside his own...
Yeah, this is actually plausible.
I guess I always assumed the Warlord System was something that had always been around ever since the Void Century. But, I guess that's not really the case. It's actually a relatively new invention. Only really forming after Gol D Roger's execution. So...
Well, I think it's pretty simple really. It wasn't a part of the plan.
Blackbeard is hunting seemingly all the most powerful Devil Fruits. But, he's not planning on keeping all of them. Remember, he was thinking about selling Law's Op-Op Fruit. One of the most powerful Fruits in the...
It's possible it could be "Davy". I hesitate to say that for certain, though. If only because Davy Jones seems to be positioned more as a "villain" at the moment, with the ties to Blackbeard and Rocks. And even Foxy. And "forcing" people to join your crew doesn't seem like something...
Well, chances are we will learn more about how Doflamingo knew about Imu, who was likely the "Treasure of Mariejois" which he talked to Law about. And Dressrosa was one of the countries that was built up above the sea level, in order to avoid the flooding, so it was foreshadowing that a bit...
But, the thing is...Imu really hasn't been ACTING like a "tyrant" this whole time. No one even knows they exist, outside their inner circle. Imu hasn't been ruling over everyone for wealth, or fame, or power. Imu has two out of those three things, but they really haven't been actively...
Well, it kind of depends on what you mean by "final villain". Are we talking about "the last person we fight" or "the main threat of the story"?
Because, I honestly think Buggy has a good shot of being the last actual threat the Strawhats have to fight. But, he'd be more of a "epilogue...
We have a color page! What secrets lie hidden within?! Usopp's hanging onto Luffy for dear life. Could that be foreshadowing that Usopp will be the first to share in the power of Gear 5? Could we get Nika-powered Usopp in this arc? Who knows?
"This is the first I've ever seen one...
