    Powers & Abilities Shanks needs better skill

    Despite being a fan favorite and Oda's self-insert, the RedHaired pirate is lacking feat-wise. This is 2nd time he is losing to Zoro. The first time he lost to Zoro is in comparison between Dragon Damnation and Kamusari...

    Future Events What did Oda stall Zoro for?

    Hello there. The time has come to guess why Oda has been stalling Zoro! With the leopard coat out of the way, low diffed, just when all the Elders have arrived, Oda pointed out that Zoro sensed their haki. Saturn had his attention but with arrival of the other 4, they have his curiosity now...

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Oda do this to Mihawk?

    Once Wano was over, Oda said, that even you didnt follow the story so far and started reading now, you wouldn't miss anything. It seems that only post-Wano lore is the core of the story and that brings us to the characters most relevant for Oda's work. Why has Oda left only one character with...

    Future Events Strawhats versus World Government on Egghead

    As soon as the traitor plot kicked in and Seraphim started attacking, the odds were looking nasty for Strawhats. Then the tables turned, the traitor was taken out and the Seraphim were neutralized and things were looking for for SHs... Then, Kizaru arrived and Lucci grew a backbone and things...

    Speculations What is Oda cooking with Cross Guild?

    Based on the image above, which I believe will be the pairings between these two factions when they end up clashing in the battle for who gets to become the Pirate King, it seems like Oda is building another version of Strawhats. Why is this happening? It could be that he gave up on Strawhats...

    Future Events Will history repeat itself? Egghead final match-ups

    It is not the first time Zoro took an Admiral over from Luffy after Luffy got his ass kicked. Are we about to repeat this scenario in Egghead too? That way Luffy can finally move on to where he needed to be from the get-go, against Saturn.

    Speculations Who does Imu fear?

    Been wondering about a couple of things lately so I am going to throw out several ideas. Maybe it helps someone connect the dots. I wonder if the entire final saga is foreshadowed through Thriller Bark... Before we get to that, a small detour. The awakening of Mythical Zoans has been...

    Powers & Abilities Shanks - "But how does he actually fight?"

    This is a line that Oda has thrown out in the open when asked about Shanks' sword which he stated is named Gryphon... But >how does he actually fight? This has been the source of many hakiman Shanks theories. Until we saw that every aCoC user is a hakiman... So, that's not it. Sword and haki is...

    Questions & Mysteries Who is WSM and WSC after WB and Kaido died?

    Why hasnt anyone received those titles? :quest: With old WSM and WSC gone, someone else is the World's Strongest Man and the World's Strongest Creature. And yet, nobody has obtained those titles... Why is that so? Who should wield them in the present?

    Future Events What title should Zoro have to declare him as the strongest in the universe of all times?

    If Oda makes Zoro into the strongest character that One Piece ever produced, which I think he inevitably will do, how will he convince the coping and biased fandom? :zorothink: Giving him just the WSS title which makes him into strongest swordsman is obviously not enough because people will say...

    Speculations Mihawk and Shanks... Who missed out on more?

    A short thread about something that has been going on my mind recently... We found out from Whitebeard about the legendary duels between Mihawk and Shanks that shook the Grand Line. However, Mihawk and Shanks havent fought each other in a long, long time. I dont know if it is confirmed or not...

    Speculations Which monke will stand up first?

    Who gets back on his feet first, Yellow Monke or Monke king Nika? Will that affect the decision of who won the round 1 if one stands up before the other?

    Speculations The Great Assembly

    Today's task is not related to combat and power scaling but trying to figure out the One Piece. What if the treasure that Roger found is not the true One Piece? What if he only found a piece of it? A single part of a larger thing. Big Mom did say that part of it is in Wano country too! > We...

    Future Events Nightslayer the Dawnbringer

    Nice and simple - Who is it that brings the promised, long-awaited Dawn to the world of One Piece? Luffy, right? Or is he? As we have seen, when it is left to Luffy, like in Wano, there was no promised Dawn moment. No rays of sun on the faces of common folk that fear the return of Orochi and...

    Future Events Surpassing the Expectations

    When you see a nik87 thread, you know what time it is. At this point, it is basically a pattern, both for Zoro as well as for his opponents. Oda is upping whatever expectations we had for them. You dont have to take my word for it, you yourselves know the best when it comes to what expectations...

    Future Events Against who will Shanks show off?

    We know that Oda is not prone to showing the same thing twice, that's why he uses "off-paneling" so much. It is a solid narrative device that keeps things from being spoiled before it is time to reveal them. If he does not use that, he may partially show the capabilities of characters or give...

    Break Week How BLACK BLADES are really FORGED!

    Low effort thread this time, make of it what you want. It is not a secret that Oda is a fan of Star Wars and with the recent development, it seems like we are going in the SW direction... Planets and Moons have been in front of our eyes this whole time and we havent figured it out until...

    Powers & Abilities The Pinnacle of Dreams and Manifestation of Power

    I promised I would make a thread regarding why Zoro is the strongest in the world... Sight, sound, smell, touch, taste and intuition. The 6 senses of a man... Each of those can be good, bad or neutral. Furthermore, each of those can be pure and impure. In a lifetime, there are 36 earthly...

    Speculations Strawhats are mirroring... Warlords?

    Of all the possible parallels and similarities, it just hit me - Strawhats seem to be very similar to Warlords... Originally we had 7 of them. Through replacements, 11 ppl in total had this position. And then the World's 3rd balancing power was disbanded.The Blackbeard Pirates, who Strawhats...
