Alright guys, no trolling. I feel like I should substantiate the predictions I made about Kizaru not going down this arc.
A lot of people said Kizaru or Saturn need to be defeated because this would qualify as the “shocking event” that has been foreshadowed. I have been saying that there is a zero percent chance that neither Luffy nor Kizaru being defeated would qualify as an appropriately shocking event at this point in the plot, but that I had no idea what the actual shocking event would be.
Well, look at this chapter. Nika is now awakening Ancient Kingdom technology with its gay-ass heartbeat or whatever. I think the reveal that Luffy’s fruit is now directly connected to the resurrection of the Ancient Kingdom is Oda setting up the
real shocking event of this arc, not some fairy ass battle result but something actually truly shocking that no one expected like the resurrection of aspects of the Ancient Kingdom all around the world or something that actually connects to the overarching plot and isn’t just a versus battle.
