When did Luffy hit Smoker pre TS? That's right, it didn't happen.

Aokiji blocked Zoro's attack while he just allowed Luffy to punch him that had no effect and almost cost Luffy to lose him arm.

The point is nobody was able to hit a logia except Luffy who just happened to be one logia weakness. Why, because nobody knew about haki back then. Zoro was told about cutting nothing but not explained it was related to haki.
What are you even talking about?
I never said luffy hit smoker or any logia for that matter
the same goes for zoro...which is the problem
yall are saying zoro had Ryou pre ts when he never hit a logia.

if. He unlocked it in alabasta then he uses ryou in MOST of his attacks. So even if he did not know he had it he should have STILL hit one after ALL these multiple conflicts he’s had with logias.
if you THINK it’s a retcon say that but don’t act like zoro is all of a sudden some expert Ryou user when he’s never hit a logia

It's either a 1)retcon, or 2)BoAT is a road of techniques whereby Ryuo is the destination, and the first steps just have situational usages and aren't proper Ryuo, which makes sense considering Zoro's complete failures against Enel in the next arc as well as failure against Aokiji, he didn't have Ryuo pre-skip but was in a much better spot to learn it hence his CoA specialty.
BoAT being linked to CoO if a serious thing is a retcon, considering he knew nothing about Mantra.
 
So are you arguing that it's impossible for Zoro to start by making only one of his blades black before the other, and he'd have to turn all of them at the same time, because there can't be a special interaction Haki wise with one blade more so than the rest at any given point ?
Making black blades is a feat of the swordsman. Neither Mihawk nor Ryuma are implied to have required specific swords in order to make black blades

if you say Zoro requires a specific sword then that immediately implies Mihawk also required one. And that means Mihawk was lying when he said “All swords can become black blades”

so there’s two things here. First is combat proficiency with Enma. As far as we saw with Oden, there should be absolutely no difference between swords if you’ve mastered Enma. Second is black blades. As far as Mihawk said, you don’t require special swords to make black blades.

Huh? Aren’t you realizing this 100 chapters too late?

The Road To Harmony
Best Wano chapter.

But I have some negatives: Art was rather spotty for chapter 1000. Characters look rather sketchy and undefine. And this isn't really a quality issue, the character models themselves look simplistic and rough.

That said, the composition on a lot of the panels was top notch. That giant spread of the Supernova vs the Emperors was spicy. That one picture encapsulates the timeskip saga up until now.


The Dawn

Luffy. The main man, planned to take out the Emperors to come closer to his ultimate dream of Pirate King. It started by defying Linlin, something no one on FMI dared to do.



His claim to take them out materialized further when he teamed up with Law. Quickly, the two became world wide partners, toppling Doflamingo and his underworld organization and destroying Caesar's manufacturings. This caught the attention of Kaido who still didn't take these brats seriously.




Luffy not only faces Kaido (and Linlin) for his dream, but to also liberate the home of the friends he's made. Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Hyogoro, and more. Luffy is the outsider who has garnered the trust and belief of people who were untrusting of the world beyond their borders.


His resolve to rescuing Wano strengthened when learning young children like Tama can't even eat whenever they want.


After a crushing defeat at the hands of Kaido, Luffy now stands against him, armed with the power he unlocked through the support of the Samurai that were once untrusting of outsiders.


He brings the world together in a way no one else can.

Shifting to Yamato and Ace's conversation, it's clear whatever Luffy and Roger said was monumental. So much so, most people would laugh at the proposition. Something even more ludicrous than becoming Pirate King. That can be covered in another day, but I can't help but think it's related to Luffy's ability to bring people together. Think about it, possibly the last big destination before Laugh Tale is a xenophobic, isolated nation, and you have someone with the charisma to touch people's hearts. In the real world, we're are all divided, just as how the One Piece world is divided into sections. Literally.


The Legendary Samurai

Zoro, Luffy's partner, is also there, and Oda's been building up his involvement in this battle even before the timeskip. When Zoro defeated zombie Ryuma, he retrieved Shusui and returned it to the country. Its absence was compared to a bad omen befalling the country, as Kaido and Orochi took on power and deteriorated the lands of its food, natural resources, and warriors.



Wano was a land of powerful and revered Samurai due to the legacy of Ryuma and its warriors upholding it, but we see now with all the Samurai either defeated or having to depend on Pirates. Zoro, whom's backstory is teased, stands as both a Strawhat Pirate and a bred, possibly born, Samurai of Wano fighting to save the country and reclaim the honor that's been lost.


True Pirates

Kid and Killer have had a journey that mirrored Luffy's and Zoro's. They both entered the New World with the intent of defeating the Emperors, and to do that they formed alliances.


Though it didn't go too well, and only hardship has befallen them; from imprisonment, betrayal, humiliation, misrepresentation (Caribou). Their reason for being here is retribution. Can they prove the world wrong and cement themselves as part of the big leagues? Whatever happens, Kid and Killer are going to contribute in the world's further destabilization. They do so for their own sake as next gen pirates.


The Mastermind

And lastly, Law was the originator of the whole operation vs Kaido. His first plan was to defeat Doflamingo and stop his distribution. He also made the first declaration that the era was shifting and that his generation will overtake the old that has grown stagnant.


All in all, this chapter didn't have much in the way of theories. Even the Yamato/Ace moment but re-acknowledged the importance of what Luffy and Roger said off-panel. But this chapter is the beginning of the narrative payoff for what's been building for almost a whole decade and more. That's what chapter 1000 represents, and it's a huge achievement. Yes, One Piece is not perfect. This chapter isn't perfect. But the level of investment and plotting Oda's crafted is nigh unrivaled in the Manga world.


Thank you, Oda.


P.S. Yamato is the final Strawhat.

But the link could be the Haki flow that Enma forces upon its user.

It could be that it's what pushed Zoro closer towards turning Enma into a black blade than his other swords.

If any blade can be turned black, but one turning a blade black does not have to turn all of his swords black at that exact same time, then there can be a special relationship between a specific blade and its user, and there's something unique about Enma that could potentially accelerate that process if one can tame it.

Its also brought to the discussion that Oden did not manage to turn Enma black, so there's a plot related hint that he was on that path, and thus the one who inherits the blade will also be on that path with it.

So i dont know what you guys all talk about who is fighting who....its completly obvious or not?

1. Luffy fightst Big Mom they still have a fight Left from Whole Cake Island
2. Law will obviously fight Kaido, Kaido is so incomparable strong because of Laws DF. The previous User used his Eternal Youth Surgery on Kaido and now Law has to make it backwards.
3. Zoro will Fight Napoleon i mean he wants to be the Strongest Swordsman so he has to Fight the Sword.
4. Kidd will fight Zeus, i mean Magnetic Abilitys and a Thundercloud???? SOOOO OBVIOUS.
5. Killer will fight Prometheus, because they are the leftovers.

TOO OBVIOUS OR NOT?
