Speculations Why didn’t the Gorosei just kill Emeth 200 years ago?

[Shiroyru]

Peter casually tore off his left torso, so it’s not like they didn’t have the AP to do it

 

[JDragon20]

Plot.

 

[Yoru]

Emeth beam laser still functioning back then.
But now he cant shot pew pew beam again, so yeah he become vulnerable. Andmaybe gorosei not mastered their df ability yet, thanks to their old age they can mastered it now.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Odds are, his body was in better quality back then and he didn't give the World Gov. any openings.

We could see that what brought Emeth back to life was Luffy's unique heartbeat. We also saw that he wasn't sure if now was the right time for him to act.
We know that 200 years ago, he climbed to Marie Geoise, started fighting and then just stopped all of a sudden.
I think that 200 years ago, someone with Luffy's fruit reached gear 5, began to attack the gorosei, so Emeth followed, and then they killed that fruit user, so Emeth was immobilized again. After taking care of the real threat, the gorosei didn't care much for Emeth, they gave it to their scientists to dismantle, believing they had obeyed. Also back then, Emeth did not carry a transponder snail on him, transmitting all of the government's secrets to the world, so they didn't consider him as big a threat as now.

That would make the Goroseis reaction to Luffys first awakening against Kaido even more nonsensical, tho not much would surprise me at this point, certainly not further retcons.

Oh, you're right, they said it never awakened in 800 years. Then what else could wake Emeth? A lightning strike?

 

[Alarica]

This is shitshow.

Because all this Emeth plot is nothing else then retcon on 50 chapters.

His power ran out as well ,probably Elders didn‘t needed to act in the end.
Brings up the question why didn‘t they make sure to dispose of it right then and there ?

Also it seems like they tried to get it as far away from Mary Joa as possible,why don‘t hide it in some chamber like the Giant Strawhat.

Do you all not know what a retcon is? Oda will eventually explain what happened with Emeth in marijoa. Creating headcanon and then calling it a shit show based on stuff you made up is insane

 

[SkySanji]

Probably as simple as they naively trusted the scientists to destroy it so saw no need to do it themselves.

Comparing trump to all might is next level cultist glazing

 

[Kumathegoat]

Because Emeth is stronger

 

[DarkestKnightofSpoilers]

i choose between All Might or that one

Loda reading this and laughing. Emeth was something he pulled out of his ass while writing egghead readers always give this fraudulent author too much cred.

Cmmmmoooooon use your brain!!!
We saw how Gorosei destroyed half of ancient giant, then why 200 years ago Gorosei didn't destroy this ancient giant????

 

[Killerj]

They didnt kill Lmeth because he needs to save the PlotHats

Emeth is the robot from Laputa

My reaction to another person legit asking in a roundabout way why the story has not already ended with a World Government victory:
