    Such is the world we live in.

    Speculations If Whitebeard really was a Buccaneer…

    This is going to be controversial, but I don't think Whitebeard needs to be a Buccaneer. I'm not trying to disparage or deny the theories/parallels; I respect and acknowledge those possibilities. 1) Newgate was always portrayed as an orphan who essentially started from nothing and worked his...

    Break Week Does Kidd still have fans?

    Yes, Kidd has fans. They are smaller in numbers but make up for it with some of the highest loyalty, tenacity, and drive that I've seen towards a character. They will be there no matter what, and I have a lot of respect for that. Only wish Oda kept the bandolier for his post-TS design.

    General & Others In Memoriam of Monet

    I’ve been following your long journey on and off for some time and you raised something that a lot take for granted: we forget the different ways people become invested in this manga. There are those who keep the fire burning on parts of the story even when Oda wishes to extinguish it. It...

    Future Events Where did Robin get her devil fruit?

    Olvia's secret hasn't been brought up again, sadly. Oda put a hard clamp on it, much like the WG did to Ohara. What I reckon is that it has something to do with the Poneglypth research. She was the sole survivor among her 33 research groups and probably learned a piece of information that was...

    Future Events Where did Robin get her devil fruit?

    Ah, another of One Piece's Million Dollar questions. I'm going to go on a limb here: Robin's had the fruit since she was very young on Ohara, we know that much. What we also know, is that she liked to run away and hide in the jungle a lot. She probably stumbled upon it one day and because she...

    Break Week Real life Pirate Codes and the themes of Freedom

    Fascinating read, I'm surprised no one has replied here yet; this is essentially what we see among certain crews as well as the nature of Davy Back Fights. Pirate codes in One Piece can be traced back to Oda's original two stories, Romance Dawn. Both had the "Peace Main" vs. "Morganeer" concepts...

    Speculations Will Luffy lead his own fleet into war with the WG or lead the entire world?

    It's difficult to establish how many factions will be involved, and which would specifically fall under Luffy. I think it's easier if we visualize it as a domino effect. Assuming Whitebeard's omen at Marineford comes true, then it will happen very quickly on a worldwide scale. Besides pure...

    Questions & Mysteries Did the WG cover up Robin's involvement in Alabasta?

    Very good question, I'll try to give an answer. In short, yes, they did. 1) Mr. 0 & Baroque Works Crocodile was a master at remaining discreet. His shichibukai status and heroic reputation in Alabasta shielded him from Cipher Pol investigations and overall suspicion. Using code names and strict...

    Questions & Mysteries Most wasted character potential?

    It pains me to see how Smoker has been treated throughout the series. I'm going to add a few other characters below: Praying on Oda delivering Ma D. Monk after Egghead. :madmonk:

    Questions & Mysteries Will Sakazuki or Aramaki or both be villains in the future?

    Sakazuki is a classic example of a prideful, dogmatic character frustrated by the various bureaucracies and protocols imposed on him as Fleet Admiral. He is blinded by the absolute justice philosophy to such a point that any criticisms towards it are seen as personal insults because he views...

    Questions & Mysteries Why didn’t BM give Kaido’s DF to one of her children?

    Big Mom is characterized as someone who always wants to get the most out of a deal, a ruthless businesswoman. At the time, Kaido was only 21, possibly at the brink of death/defeat and wanted a way out. If she understood his future potential (he's a CoC user), then she wanted to invest into it...

    One Piece Chapter 1040: Falling on Deaf Ears

    I love seeing Big Mom lamenting Roger for creating the Great Pirate Era, since it led to her downfall in a poetic and literal way. We know that Big Mom is a very theatrical character, always noisy, and issues commands as a ruler. Yet she got robbed of that and doomed to a silent fate. Law went...

    ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1039: THE MAIN ACT

    What a chapter! Teamwork, Law's devastating blow, Electromagnetic Railgun, Big Mom finally using haki in this fight, Broken bones etc. :finally: Law and Kidd fans eating goood, although I don't think Big Mom is down just yet. Those who have slandered Kidd excessively better hide..this is just...

    Questions & Mysteries So, the Gorosei aren’t immortal?

    I've had a theory for a long time that the Gorosei operate on a rotating system. Every few decades/half a century/century, new members will replace those that have died. It's implied that becoming an Elder is a lifetime position and that the members are handpicked by Imu or the system since...

    ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1037: DRAGON BOOZE BAGUA

    Things I found interesting from this chapter: I don't powerscale but this is kinda funny to think about. The quote is from ONE PIECE Great Newspaper Vol. 2 (Oda's interview) back in 2016:

    Hopefully her Orochi assassination plot doesn't fail because otherwise she'll become another damsel in distress/hostage. I could see Denjiro coming in clutch to save her and finish things for good though...
