I came across something interesting while looking at the cover stories and Chapter 1138’s mural.
Gedatsu’s cover story features him meeting two figures in order:
Boss of Dirt (Earth) – First, he encounters the underground hot springs and the Boss of Dirt.
Boss of Forest – Later, he meets the Boss of the Forest as he continues digging.
This immediately reminded me of the mural in Chapter 1138, which also references Earth and Forest Gods. If Gedatsu is a descendant of the Moon people, could this be a subtle way Oda is showing the transition of worlds?
The Ancient Kingdom might have gone through phases like:
1. Earth (First World) – Early civilization, buried history.
2. Forest (Second World) – Flourishing era before decline.
3. A Missing Third World? – Could this be the sky, the sea, or the sun?
Oda loves hiding hints in cover stories (like Eneru’s trip to the Moon foreshadowing the Lunarians). Could Gedatsu’s seemingly random adventure secretly represent the history of the Ancient Kingdom’s fall?
