So this chapter has me thinking, and i normally don't think this wild, but since we are basically in some kind of post apocalyptic world where it seems the world was basically put into a reset and all this stuff on egghead was the norm in the past i am wondering if df powers were basically the norm back then, Like what if certain special people had these df like powers or maybe in a way those with crazy strong wills could do these crazy powers and upon death they go into fruits for people to eat and carry on the powers??? any thoughts?? i also think it was @nik87 who believed zoro was moved forward in time via toki powers,and assuming something crazy like this happened what if zoro was indeed from this time period and thats why ashura is a thing while nobody else in the verse has anything remotely like it, Zoro has it because he is the only person alive from that era unbeknownst to him. This all seems crazy talk to me.
It would explain why we have never met any other Roronoas, why nobody has mentioned Roronoas and thus knowing them etc.
It would be extremely tragic for Zoro if he is from the distant or even ancient past this whole time without ever knowing and he's lost his family, friends and thus anyone he ever knew and thus knew him too ofc.
But for this to make sense, Oda would have to explain how Zoro got yeeted so far into the future (Toki fruit ofc but still) and why too, and potentially do another ridiculous amnesia plot, to explain why Zoro has never mentioned his potential ancient origins and thus family, friends etc from that era.
But I wouldn't put it past Oda to pull a stunt like this either. Wano involved time travel, it was meant to be Zoros arc but wasn't except for fights and feats mainly and we still know so little about him.
It would really "subvert our expectations" if this ended up being Zoros actual character arc instead of Wano somehow. At least I'm vainly coping that Oda is not being this deliberately neglectful and facetious with Zoros lineage without good reason.
At this point I don't know what to expect for him anymore. I'm extremely worried about Mihawk too now, him joining Buggy and running from the Marines doesn't help and especially a Seraphim Mihawk running around now too.
But maybe Sera Mihawk will give us a preview of Zoro vs Mihawk before it actually happens with the real one and may lead to Mihawks backstory somehow if he does encounter it as he should? Wishful thinking I know...
