Speculations Nerona Dracule, rightful heir to the empty throne, world's strongest swordsman and last of the dragon (and some imu lore)

#1
As we all know, Oda has a tendency to use puns and number to foreshadow some events. The number 16 is related to Imu and the world government. The most well known one is the 16 holy bullets paralleling mother flames but they are a lot more.
:endthis:


Mihawk is also a pun for 16 in Japanese (mi/ho/Ku=3/4/9=16) so we can assume he is linked in some way to the wg. While doflamingo would be a parallel to ancient weapon, Mihawk might directly be linked to Imu.
:mihugh:
Everyone heard the talk about Mihawk having the same eyes as Imu so therefore he might be the prince or something along the line but guess what? It's actually valid and it doesn't stop there. Mihawk is an obvious reference to vampire and vampire are known to be immortal just like imu, they also have pointy teeth just like Imu monster form (or dragon form)
:kuzanshut:
but for me, the most important trivia about them is the fact that Dracula literally mean son of the dragon (or son of the devil), Vlad II dracul (Dracula) took this name after joining guess what? The order of the dragon and now I am gonna ask you to search the order of the dragon and what is their symbol?
:choppawhat:
Yes it's literally the symbol of the WG!!:usoprice: :bignews::bignews:
The order of the dragon and the celestial dragon are one and the same. Imu and Dracule's eyes aren't vampire eyes nor they are hawk eyes but are actually dragon eyes:shocking:

At this point I think pretty much everyone realized I broke the matrix but for the one who still got some doubt about it, I ve got a lot more coming for you.
:myman:

The thing that made everything click for me is something I saw on twitter, I want to credit them but twitter is not working as of right now so I will give them their flower later.:optimistic:

So I was looking for the pun in 16 for Mihawk that yuderon and me found and someone showed a picture of an obscure op character introduced during the water seven saga, he is probably the least known cp9 agent, he got a similar style to Mihawk, his name is... Drum roll (doom, doom, doom, doom) Nero!! :steef: It's not even hidden at this point, Nerona Dracule is real:noo:

But let's keep on rolling:kidsmile:

When I said that everything clicked inside my head, it's really everything, I already made some theory about boa being a parallel to imu because she is the snake empress who transform people into stone while Imu is the empress of the stone snake (red line or Jörmungandr/ouroboros should I say:madmonk: which is also a symbol of the order of the dragon) but I lacked evidence. Well now I still lack evidence but Lily connect the 2 at least (Amazon Lily). Boa whole gag is that she is in love with Luffy, kind of reminiscent to Imu and Lily isn't it?:catblush:

Let's make a quick pause to talk again about the rightful heir to the empty throne. The old theory about Nerona Dracule lineage was that he was the son of Rayleigh and Shakky, the previous Amazon Lily empress. It's as if the community knew that something was going on but didn't know how to express it correctly.
:kata:
Now back on track about Lily, I think you all know it at this point but Lily is a flower
(Nerona dracule got a flower theme with his design:moonwalk:), La fleur de Lys in french, while it it's not the flower which is represented in the emblem of the French king ,it's a common mistake that people do. It has the same name and we all know that the Pangea castle is based on the Chambord castle in France.
:sanmoji:

You know who is from France? Yes Sanji.
Well it doesn't really matter:zosleepy:

You know who likes something France is famous for? Yes, Nerona Dracule with wines:cheers::milaugh:

Wine is associated with religion and wealth so nobility kind off:sadgrin:

Something else caught my interest on twitter, it was about garland and his role in the WG.

To make it quick a certain Garlande was a sénéchal in France and the sénéchal was second only to the king. Who could serve as a friend to the prince of the world himself if not the son of the sénéchal? Yes I am talking about the strongest rat in the world, red d snitch.:endthis:

It seems that there is a theme about secret identity with the 2 rivals but it actually doesn't stop at Nerona Dracule and Figarland shanks, there is also rocks D buggy and crocodile with ivankov (doflamingo also:pepedoffy:) who are both in cross guild weirdly enough. The son of Imu and the son of rocks are most likely linked by fate:pepehawk::pepebuggy::pepecroc:
Maybe Ben Beckmann got a secret identity too:beckmoji:

It's all for Nerona Dracule, now I will share some cool things I found with the number 16 (for the people who still got some doubt it's for you). Obviously I am not sure every chapter which add's up to 16 are linked to the WG but many are:

-chapter 907 (9+7) the empty throne: literally the introduction to the empty throne, fed haired shanks meet the gorosei, I can't make it more clear

-chapter 916 (9+1+6) wano sumo: Luffy fight a sumo of wano who just got rejected by okiku (Imu and Lily yet again, it's also why I believe Imu is a woman)

-chapter 961 the mountain god: linked to Imu with the title, even the theme work, kinemon caused the warth of god. The god of the mountain looks like Imu dragon form and can eat anything just like Imu ate the fire. Everyone got eaten also. Could work as a parallel to the void history or the erasure of country.

-chapter 970 Oden Vs Kaido: Oden literally slash kaido (the dragon) Woro time:steef:

-chapter 1060 (it doesn't add up to 16 but I think everyone can see where is the 16) Luffy's dream: we get Luffy's dream and Imu erasing lulusia with mother flames

-chapter 1069 all things are brought in this world with hope: now I don't think it's intended to be a number 16 chapter but still we get the introduction of s hawk and s snake and a potential explanation to df.

Same for chapter 1078 (1+7+8): I don't think it's intended to be a secret WG/Imu chapter especially since we are in a WG centric arc, there is s snake and s hawk, York wanting to be a celestial dragon and the announcement that what will happen in egghead will shock the world.

Chapter 1087:???

Maybe it's just all coincidence or it's just me that stretch things up to the max but for the order of the dragon for example, I am having an hard time figuring out how Oda didn't intent to reference it.

What do you think of the theory?
Most of this has been around for some time, even the haters have no arguments against any of this but the hate is too strong, they're so desperate to see Mihawk go before characters weaker than him, characters that have been around for 10 chapters. :suresure:

Imu is immortal, a dragon or a devil, like you said vampires are immortal and Dracula means son of the devil/dragon. Not everything is going to be a coincidence. :myman:

Since Holy Knights got Introduced, i always believed that each of 19 CD Families have a Leader or Head of Family

Nine of them are Holy Knights
Five others are Gorosei
Five others are Leaders of The World (Four Blues & Grand Line)

In my opinion Imu betrayed Four others, which allowed him to sit on Empty Throne
Mihawk & Crocodile could be among those Four

So i believe your Theory that Mihawk is Rightful Heir of Empty Throne might indeed come True
Bartholomew Family is another Candidate & they could have been Blamed for Imu's Crime(s) just like Riku Family or Kozuki Family Scenario

To add some of bit info, they were 21 funding nobles in the order of the dragon (21???:steef:)

That would be cool if someone could share the order of the dragon emblem to show how similar it is to the WG emblem.

Also, maybe my eyes are doing me wrong but it seems like a sword they were using to make someone a knight of the order was black

20 Kings/Holy Knights?

The 21st could be Mihawk who has black theme.

This sound like the cringe princess Daenerys Targaryen introducing herself with dozen nicknames.
That's how it works, it's the same for all of the heir to the iron throne
Post automatically merged:

I think imu is oruboros.
I don't think she is ouroboros but she actually control it, that's what I was refering to with the parallel to boa and all that, the redline is not just ouroboros figuratively but it's actually the world snake prisonned into stone:endthis:
