The idea of Brook picking up on the rhythm of a heartbeat and amplifying it through his music when he doesn't have a heartbeat (because he's a skeleton Yohohohooooooooo) would be so Oda!
I feel like the Giant pirates probably have a big drum on their ship to keep rhythm while rowing (do they even have oars like vikings used?) The Nika rhythm is probably even known to them much like how Kuma knew it. That combined with Brook's playong wpuld be fantastic!
@@jackofalltreys4459...so does the drums of liberation...does this possibly confirm that JoyBoy might have wrote Binks Sake? I mean many people have stopped and pondered the meaning of the lyrics if it does have anything to do with the void century. if so, that means his plan is was being sung about for centuries with no one the wiser except Roger...hell that could be why he laughed in the first place! If the song is infact about Joyboy and the rhythm is to his heartbeat? Wtf do the lyrics mean???
York didn't tell Saturn about Bonney because she has no reason to. I feel like people forget that we're looking at things from the outside and the characters don't see what we see and have less time to think about this stuff. York is using information as her income to buy a position with the Celestials. She's not gonna just tell them everything she knows. She tells them what she needs to and that's it. Not to mention that she probably assumed The World Government was blatantly stronger than the Straw Hats so they didn't even need that information. They don't think the same just because they share memories. Like how Shaka and Lilith both knew the Strawhats but Shaka noticed they were ready to kill Lilith while she herself thought she was running the show. You have to factor in these kinds of details when thinking about a characters' actions as a reader and especially as a writer.
You do realize that not telling them that would be at her disadvantage sooner or later right ? That would be a huge betrayal. Even more than the Researches on the Void Century. If she told the Gorosei, she would have a life warranty since they would know for certain that she is loyal to them. York clearly didn’t know cause if she knew, she wouldn’t hesitate to tell them. It took her too much effort to prove that V was really doing researches on the Void Century. All she needed to do is tell them about Bonney’s rank and V would be assassinated in the same week
What if Usopp gets a devil fruit that lets him become a gaint? And maybe Luffy could learn a new fully gaint form, too. Franky could be in his mecha. Robin has her gaint demon clone. Chopper has the monster form.
Elbaf is currently under the protection of Shanks and that's why the World Government can't just go Buster Call on the kingdom of Giants for harboring Saul and the books of Oharan archaeologists.
Honestly they would need ALOT more than a buster call to take on ALL of the giants. Even if they weren't on elbaf. But they are, which would make the giants even more determined to protect their home.
Ngl I think the giants take back the straw hats to elbaf so there safe and then shanks will meet Luffy and their reunion while they are safe since there is two yonkos and their crew and the giants and I think that usopp has his glow up
Reasons for World Gov. not attacking Elbaf: 1. Thousands of Giants (Yes, the Marines have some giants of their own but that only exacerbates the problem - remember which rank each and every one of them has?) 2. Shanks being there occasionally. Yeah Point 2 is way more important. Especially given Shanks is obviously 400 years old and protected the islands since the founding of the concurrent world system... They cannot provide for themselves, they never had to.
08:36 thinking about it honestly, has Kizaru ever put effort on anything? I need to rewatch these things but from memory he seemed all too happy to letting himself be stopped by Rayleigh, joking with Ben Beckman, shotting the handcuff's key instead of blowing luffy's head, and letting Law's submarine escape between random pew pews. He seems to be the guy that if worked in an office would say "I was going to visit some clients, but it seems that maybe is going to rain later today" or "Yeah I know I'm supposed to mail this memo but I decided to wait since there's a spider near the door"
I exactly thought so. Like whenever he took a hit from Luffy, I always see him as a guy who pull "Ouch, boss. My stomach hurt. Can I go home now?" In another words, he isn't motivated at doing his job at all. He took those hits, and use the fact as his reason to not doing his job for a while. He is just like an actually competent worker who just does his barely mininum for his job while keep looking for a chance to slack off. The reason is either he is just lazy (which I think unlikely as this kind of character more fit for Kuzan), or he really hates his current job but he simply can't quit for farious reasons.
That's my take on him. One of the most overpowered devil fruits around, but totally lacking work ethic. His history with Vegapunk and Bonny might be coloring his attitude slightly as well, but it seems more like another excuse to not exert himself than a legitimate reason
York wasn't be able to tell the Marine about Bonney and Pacifista because the whole Strawhat crews are there when she was communicating with the gov't. Telling it to the gov't is like telling everyone about it.
@@AnonymousEnigma19 York may have lingering feelings for Bonney as well. She is technically Vegapunk and should have all the fond memories of when Kuma and Bonney were on the island. Her betrayal was about self preservation and being able to be lazy as a Celestial Dragon, that doesn't mean she needs to betray her old friends Bonney and Kuma.
If she knew, she had all the time to tell them. She could’ve told them 3 months ago when she snitched Vegapunk but she didn’t. She must’ve not known. The only Vegapunks that have to know are Shaka, Atlas and Stella himself
@@nessa6859 Her betrayal was not for self preservation but selfishness. He always wanted to be the ONLY VEGAPUNK and a celestial Dragon. This was just the perfect occasion to get what she wanted. She literally killed Shakka with no remorses and you think she cares about Bonney and Kuma ?
@@AnonymousEnigma19 Not important ? You do realize that not telling the Gorosei would be an even bigger betrayal than researching about the Void Century right ? Saturn stabbed Vegapunk as soon as he found out because that information alone put their supremacy in danger. Command over all the Pacifista is a huge problem. Even though it only applies to S-Bear regarding the Seraphims, the mark III are a huge military force. If York knew about that and really wanted to get rid of Stella, all she had to do is mention that and Vegapunk would get assassinated the same week. If she did that, she wouldn’t even need to mention the Void Century
A nice parallel with the god-Usopp-thingy: Usopp proclaimed to be a captain way before Luffy did but turned out not to be that. This tuime Usopp was proclaimed to be a god by others before Luffy was, but turned out not to be that... again.
Bro there's a theory according to his lies He once said he will lead 8000 subordinates and people think it will be giant's and that 10 ton hammer he had will be Miyonir(Thor's Hammer)
So is Usopp about to start bragging about already finding the One Piece and being the King of the Pirates or about already defeating Imu and being the King of the World? (Like the theory, just adding to it with 2 things we know Luffy is going to do)
I was never bothered by Gear 5th because it shows Luffy's growth as a character. He's not an angry child jumping head first into fights anymore. Now, he has the confidence to smile through any situation because he believes in himself and his friends.
@@animeYT9215 You're right about Zou, he had Big Mom's and the one in Wano. However I'd assume Shanks already knows about the one in Zou and he was there when Roger got it. So that just leaves the one they both don't have.
One thing with the giants, the void century, and Nika is because of their longer lives it is not long removed from them relatively. Jarul and Jorul could have been only one retelling from hearing about the events from a direct witness to the void century. It would be like a human asking thier grandparents about what they heard about thier parents and grandparents.
I kinda love the idea of Bon Clay hopping on the story again. Yes, it makes no sense at all, yes, it would be goofy and yet, the idea of that man coming back for a third time in just the most bizarre way only he can is something i would love to see. And besides, considering what he pulled with Magellan back in Impel Down, imagine him impersonating Saint Saturn. Impersonation round two, Mary Geoise Boogaloo.
I mean the rest of the Vegapunks didn't know York was a traitor so either they can selectively choose what info to upload to punk records or york just didn't interact with it for a while. Both would explain why she didn't know about Bonneys command over the pacifista.
Maybe it also just implies that Stella, being the original Vegapunk, still has some private memories or thoughts he doesn't share with the others. Idk if that has more good or bad implications to the story but I like the idea.
@@Pickn4Gold Consider that the Sattelites have room for brains- but Stella had to remove his entirely and uses that apple themed transmitter to remain in contact with it- the stella body is the only one we KNOW has constant and complete contact with Punk Records, because he IS punk records, its his brain. The extent of feedback and access the sattelites have has not been elaborated on, when I read 1106 I thought vegapunk revealing the secret about Bonny's place in the command hierarchy via Atlas, specifically that he talked to her but he didn't just yell out the secret acrros that distance, was because the actual informing of Atlas was don via punk records, and saying anything out loud was just a conceit of the control scheme for such things and a way to make it easier for the readers to see what he was doing.
To add to the "Usopp being mistaken as Nika" idea, let's not forget that both Luffy and Usopp took down a Celestial Dragon back at Sabaody two years ago
For the York thing, I believe she just didn't care like she believed that she had everything under control, and when she did get captured, her only concern was herself
My major theory as to why so many Alabasta era characters are being brought back in such major ways is because he's always known the ending. One Piece wasn't supposed to be this long. And Oda likely wasn't planning to go too far past 250 chapters at the start. So now, characters from that time period are being brought back, because Vivi, Wapol, Crocodile, Dorry, and Broggy were always meant to have a major role in the ending. It just happens that Oda took 20+ years to get here.
Commenting on the thumbnail alone: Shanks: He's made of rubber. Brogy: How did that happen? Shanks: [smiling cause he knows exactly what he'll follow up with next]
Vegapunk was very specific with his reason for implementing Bonnie as the highest authority of the Pacifistas - he did not want Bonnie to die from the hands of her father. Bonnie being in danger or York’s betrayal is not enough for him to bring it up. That’s my guess anyway.
I don't see the seriousness of Luffy's gonne. Don't you all remember the scene where luffy G5 remembers Pedro? The only dif It's that Luffy does not lose Hope. He is free from fear.
5:25 it's a fair point, but in my mind, if Vegapunk had told Bonney about her command while in Saturn's giant spider hand, I feel like ironically he would have been ensuring her death. Saturn could have just crushed or impaled her instead of being vindictive and wanting to see her shot by Pacifista(or soldiers depending on the moment). Interestingly, I feel VP has been justified by the way things played out, as Bonney is still breathing(thx to help from others like Luffy making ground bouncy). So maube luck or fate but VP played it right imo
I think the reason Stella didn't reveal that yet was because Bonnie was in Saint Saturn's hand and if he said that, Saturn would have immediately killed her. It makes more sense to reveal that information when she's going to shot by the Pacifista and she's in the middle of the air.
The Vegapunks are connected via the Punk Records network -- York made a point of mentioning that she had taken herself off network to prevent the others from hacking her brain for the password -- so it's possible that Stella uploaded the information to the satellites during an off panel data sync. It could even have been uploaded the very moment Stella had his internal dialog.
So many theories that would make for great twists. My god its tough waiting week after week for chapters in anticipation of finding out what's actually going to happen. The chapters always blow our theories & expectations out of the water mostly because they hardly ever turn out how we all think and expect them to end up being, and always turns into a much bigger twist with much bigger questions at the end of them that go on to fuel the flames of even more anticipation for the following chapters. You just gotta love One Piece yanno? Haha
So if Luffy "figured out" the Iron Giant moves on it's own, and it only moves in gear 5, could that mean Luffy is making it move with his G5 power? (Not like the drums of liberation are activating it like most speculate, but Luffy's imagination is activating it because he wants it to move, ultimately it's the same end, just a different means of getting there)
You know, I actually look forward to this kind of video after every chapter more than the chapter review itself. Some community questions/theories being answered/talked about is usually most exciting part after reading a chapter. Even more so ever since Egghead started.
Zunesha didn’t come for Luffy. He came for Momonosuke and heard the drums when he was nearby. But when you have ears of the size of an island, you can hear lots of stuff 🤣 (he probably just heard the drums through the voice of all things)
i read one piece in Thai but do understand English perfectly as well. In the Thai translation of this chapter (1106) it seems like Atlas didn't know that Bonney could command the pacifista (that looks like her dad). Vegapunk didn't say"Atlas tell Bonney" but he pre much said "Atlas pass my message to Bonney" (in the thai translation) or pre much telling Atlas to tell Bonney what he is telling Atlas. So, I don't think there is a plot hole there I don't think York knew Bonney could tell the pacifista to stop.
I read Oda originally planned OP as a 5 years run.. making the right calculations it seems he thought about the endgame just when he was doing the Alabasta saga, so no surprises he's now taking back those characters and lore!
If the 5 years original plan is true, then Pluton would have been the only ancestral weapon and it's location would have been Alabasta itself. On Skypie the ponygliph would have revealed the Laughtale location instead of Poseidon. Story went different but it seems something of the original plan remained. Think about just Vivi and how she was well portraied at that time, not just a side character but an official member of the crew itself. It's possible that the conflict she had at the end of her arc, to stay a princess or become a pirate was one Oda himself had about her.
@@lorddarkrai5753 Mr 3's candle wax was used after they were already weakened and considering Oda has recently already bringing back old characters with huge power boosts, I.e crocodile they can probably hold of Saturn and Kiazru or at least cause enough of a problem that the marines have to flee the island
Vegapunk is just too naive. He created clones of him that are just as human as him and didn’t even think a second that one if them could betray him. His intelligence only lies in research i guess. The only reason he must’ve kept the information about Bonney for himself is probably because it doesn’t only put him in danger but the little girl too
9:51 reasons like this is why I wish that luffy didn’t have seemingly immediate mastery over gear fifth. Imagine if whenever luffy enters gear fifth Nika is the one taking the wheel being too free for even luffy to control, the best luffy can do is steer Nika in the direction of his enemy’s and let Nika take it from here until luffy gets the time training and understanding to then allow Nika to let him drive the gear fifth body.
Wouldn't it make so much sense for the Ancient Energy Source to be a "Soul"? Vegapunk making experiments with Kuma and his fruit about how much a Soul weighs and discovering the Lineage Factor and empowering the Seraphims with the "Soul" of the Warlords it would be perfect foreshadowing. And then Brook being able to Power the Giant Robot with his "Soul" Music would bring a cool Contrast to his Introduction in Thriller Bark and Moria Powering the Ancient Giant Oars with Souls.
Narrative speaking, it makes more sense to have a Kuma/Bonney flashback first and THEN reveal the power hierarchy for the Pacifistas...but then again, it was already revealed that Kuma was Bonney's father...this is a bigger hoke than I thought
But that Shanks panel talking to old friends hardly will be Dorry and Brogy. They had been for the past 100 years battling in Little Garden, so there's no reason fot Shanks to have assumed they were dead. He, as Luffy, should've met them first time there, and just had to come back to see them alive again. So it's hard to think that suddenly he would assume them being dead.
Bro Shanks was on Rogers ship They traveled from Grandline to New world 2 times Roger and Luffy has many similarities in their journey and personalities so they may have been to Little garden once and met them And I don't think they showed it in Odens backstory,maybe because he joined later on
I think the thing that makes the pacifists follow Bonnie’s commands is the sapphire necklace that Kuma “left with” Vega punk. Whether VP made it at Kuma’s request, or if Kuma got it elsewhere and VP modified it to be a command module. And maybe whoever has it can command the pacifista without question.
We don’t know that for certain. Bonney just recieved the necklace yesterday. I don’t think Vegapunk would’ve risked Bonney to get killed by a Pacifista in the meantime. Every command rank in the hierarchy from Sentomaru to the Gorosei work by Voice Command. Anyone beneath needs to have a command chip. Bonney’s command certainly works by Voice Command cause it would be dumb to give her a command chip that she can loose anytime
I think the reason why York did not tell Gorosei about Bonney and the Pacifistas was because it was never brought up. Same reason why Luffy never talks about his past to the straw hats. He does not say anything unless either they ask or he feels like sharing. I think Kizaru is facing the same problem as Garp was at Marineford. He spent a lot of time with Sentomaru and Vegapunk. He feels sad that this has happened but he needs to do his job. He told Vegapunk he is just another cog in the machine and he simply should not have researched Void Century. Garp eventually let Luffy go after Ace but in Kizaru's case, he can't do that because St Saturn is right there.
Be careful when you talk about collecting Skypeia characters. I'm already getting UA-cam recommendations for video essays about how Enel is 100% guaranteed to return in Elbaf.
Guys talking about brook Can he use haki? Cause he is just a skeleton, haki may require some life force or i dunno wt but he only has his soul. If he cant really use haki he might become the weakest strawhat, cause usopp the weakest can use observation haki
In relation to the why Stella didn't say anything about Bonney: I think he did what York did and not uploaded the info as a failsafe in case someone from the World Government learned about it. After all, the old saying is "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" right?
Concerning the Satellites knowing about Bonney's position in the hierarchy - the Vegapunks can choose what info they upload to Punk Records, so it could be info Stella kept to himself?
I just have always gotten the vibe that kizaru just doesn't want to be doing any of this. I feel like I've heard a lot of "he seems to be enjoying it," and, idk, it's just always felt like he's doing it for appearances, or trying to do the bare minimum. So when he got hit by Luffy and stopped, I always assumed he was just looking for an excuse to stop. "Oooh nooo the Sun God is here, might as well stop, huh?"
Brook controlling the giant also makes sense cause let's say the giant is part buccaneer or has that special trait and it is some bloodline element, left behind will or soul. Then the soul king brook being able to awaken it and control it by altering things like tempo and time signature would make so much sense
I think York is gonna realize the situation and is gonna help the the straw hats. Also I can't stop thinking about Kaku and all the other cp agents that were freed and fed by Luffy, they are going to be on our side during this operation called "we have to leave this island immediately". My question is about Lucci's fate here. The last time he survived the buster call of enies lobby only because of the other cp9 members and in particular Blueno's with his door-door powers. But now Lucci has betrayed Kaku by trying to kill Vegapunk and hurting Stussy, but Lucci himself has been betrayef by the world governament (again) who doesn't even acknowledge his presence on the island. I guess the only one on Lucci's right now os just Hattori
Don't really care about Lucci, especially what he'd done in Water 7. I hope Zoro beats that leopard good. As for York, I doubt she'd help the Straw Hats and allies. York not only tries to kill her former allies, but she also betrayed the Egghead researchers. If that was me, I'd rather have that bitch gets killed for good.
I have had some theories. The Iron Giant might be a mech, because the Vegaforce 1, which was constructed in the IGs image is also a mech. One thing all OnePiece mechs (even Oars) share is that they are controlled from the chest, not the head, where Luffy checked. I like the idea of it being powered by music, and Brook accompanying the Drums of Liberation. One thing that might be related to that could be Binks sake. The song is about clapping, stomping and playing drums, but it itself has no percussion. I tried matching up Binks sake x Drums of Liberation and it mostly works. The Big Luffy Bomber is real!
I have not heard anyone talk about this, but it is not far out of the range of possibilities that the rest of Luffy's crew was his same crew from the void century and they have also reincarnated with him again. To me, the giant robot could be the previous incarnation of Franky who was still intact after their defeat in the void century. I would imagine if Luffy's crew in the current era were defeated and Franky was somehow left intact and working and he heard the drums from a reincarnation of Luffy in the future, it might wake him from his slumber to help his friend.
10:20 That may not be a bad thing. I feel like he'll be better able to access his future site in his other abilities if he's happy and carefree rather than pissed off and stressed out Well-known throughout the world that anger can cloud your thoughts in a fight
I was thinking the same. York thinks she's pretty clever, thinking she'd keep all those secrets to herself. However, she's not the only one. Vegapunk Stella also keeps a lot of classified information, including rebuilding Shaka and Pythagoras, thanks to Punk Records. If that happens, I wanna see York's shocking reaction, especially when she shot Shaka to death. Plus I want that traitor to suffer more.
Ik this is really random but there is a young UA-camr by the name of TheRealMarcy10 and he is an awesome One Piece UA-camr who has a lot of dedication and he has a lot of great videos and just wanted to see if you could shoutout his channel?
The number of plot threads that require resolving on Egghead is insane. Did we ever figure out what the silhouette monster was? It was shown before York was revealed as a traitor, but i don't recall it ever being addressed
Personally I'm fully expecting that it'll be revealed that Kizaru has the mark of the Celesial Dragons on his back, aka he was a slave. Not only would it fit, him being as meek in the presence of Saturn, but also his default expression being a soft smile, which you can compare to Koala's when she was a child.
Just putting this theory out there: There's always this scene that Roger tells Shanks something in secret. What if Roger told him, when Joy Boy returns, make sure to give him a good run for his money meaning challenge him to the One Piece. This could be why Shanks has waited so long to get the one piece because he wants to see if Joy Boy is as really who Roger thought he would be.
Commenting for the first time because of this and your previous video about Brook and the importance of music in One Piece. I love this take so much because I was directly inspired over a decade ago by One Piece to pursue my dream of touring with a band and I see some unique parallels between the worlds of music and fictional piracy. The most obvious is the experience of traveling in a beloved vehicle (although ours has wheels) with a group of Nakama and meeting other groups out there chasing the same dreams. The alliances and rivalries that develop are similar even if the goals are very different. The whole shonen power scaling dynamic really applies to musicianship as well, with people experiencing sudden jumps in skill or perception and performing seemingly superhuman feats. Even haki fits well, with ear training parallel with observation and chops/physical technique as an analog to armament. It’s certainly true that some rare individuals have the ability to make pretty much anything sound good through sheer force of will and intention, and at the highest levels of perception there are people with perfect pitch and incredible musical memories. Anyway, it’s ultimately the sense of total freedom and adventure that One Piece gave me as a kid that I was chasing and found in music, and returning to the manga as an adult has been a joyful realization of how influential this ridiculous rubber man has truly been in my life. It’s only fitting that he would value music as much as I do. Thanks for doing what you do, this is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam!
Shanks met Dory and Broggy because of Usopp I think. Here’s how it went I think. I don’t think he summoned them. Usopp told the giants in enies lobby about Little Garden who went to Elbaf and told everyone During the time skip Elbaf has made contact with them (The two are dueling with new weapons and get mail during a cover page) They might have heard about the Giants that joined Grand Fleet are carrying the torch I think they went to Elbaf to prepare for battle. The giants must have been one of the groups of people waiting for Nika. So when their people were liberated at Dressarossa is when D and B believing in Luffy and Wano’s bounty poster is what confirmed it. I think Shanks traveled to Elbaf with Roger and was there to herald the fruit awakening
The lacosta nod is funny when you think about it mascot is a crocodile I dont think catarina will be used in the way she will be but i dont think just turning into bonny will give her full command she will use her abilities for something else cause thats just to easy
we are forgetting one thing, wich is the ship of Dory and Broggy LEFT egg-head island AND THEN was attacked by the marine, so they have simply done a 180 and gone back to egg-head. probably by sensing luffy's first time going nika vs Lucci (they needed time to return)
Maybe the Iron Giant is an ancient Giant hit by the previous user of the hobby-hobby fruit. Given orders to support Nika, perhaps another case similar to our favorite Giant elephant who walks to attone.
I really don't want Shanks to be some sort of behind the scenes manipulator who controlled the whole series. Otherwise One Piece will end like Naruto and all the characters' emotional and important decisions will feel empty. Also takes away from Luffy's freedom. I personally subscribe to the idea that Shanks was gonna give the Nika fruit to Ace, but fate brought Luffy to it, and only after that did Shanks take more interest in Luffy.
I do wonder now if the Iron Giant's mysterious power is just music. Not specifically the Drums of Liberation, but music in general, something Vegapunk may never have thought to try
I really hope he just hasn't seen Vegapunk literally dying and will: a) be able to "heal" others with his power or b) literally go Monkey D. Ape Sh*t crazy with his Nika Powers given Vegapunk saying: "A Buster Call ain't nothing for Nika" We have all these Characters that were present on Sabaody when Kuma send everyone flying. All because Luffy was neither strong enough nor "Mature" enough. So it feels kinda disappointing how Gear 5 Luffy is acting tbh.
Vegapunk already put Kuma's conscience in the ancient robot but was unable to power it until Nika showed up and it couldn't happen unless Kuma, Bonney, Luffy & Vegapunk were in the same place. I don't think Oda would give Luffy an oversized plot device to command. OR, The iron Giant is a buccaneer from the void century that already underwent the same process Kuma and Vegapunk did in the past. Vegapunk's technology is based on the past. The iron Giant might be the one to give the exposition of what happened in the void century. Kuma runs the same parralells a the iron giant by attacking Mary Geoise. Saint Saturn will see the Giant and recognize it.
is it possible that the reason why they all laugh when they found one piece is actually because they where laughing cuz they were a few years too early. they need the sun god nika df to obtain the one piece. shanks waited luffy to awaken his fruit in order to start finding the one piece.
I think the interesting thing is that music has been playing a role in one piece A LOT recently. Joy boy drum/heartbeat (which is also interesting), uta, appoo controlling the numbers with song, there’s a lot here
I got a theory about Emu ... From what they showed Emu has a tail in a shape of an arrow. My theory is Emu is a toon Devil and the 5 elders have made a deal with the devil aka emu .. giving them immortality and regeneration in exchange of their life/ being faithful to Emu forever ... The 5 elders must be just normal Zoan users ? With an extra boost of Devil powers .. when saturn came to egg head he left a weird summoning ring on the floor which usually is shown as a gate to hell or something (Black Clover refrence) so since emu is the toon devil and luffy a toon god .. luffy should also have similar powers to emu .. Luffy should be able to boost the power of his allies or maybe make then nika as well? (English isnt my 1st language please dont make fun of me 😢)
Although I absolutely love the idea of Gear 5 being an expression of pure freedom, fun and general Luffiness, instead of just another power up, I get why people don't like how carefree he is in dire situations. It would be disappointing seeing him fight personal enemies like BB or Akainu and not be mad af. Dead serious Luffy where you don't see his eyes makes for some of the most hype moments in the series. P. S. I really laughed at the Pepe Silvia reference.
The idea of Brook picking up on the rhythm of a heartbeat and amplifying it through his music when he doesn't have a heartbeat (because he's a skeleton Yohohohooooooooo) would be so Oda!
Bro edit it and Put Yohohohooooooooo at the end
Yohohoho
Binks Brew does kinda have a don doh-doh connotation/ rhythm to it that's kinda similar. What a neat thought.
I feel like the Giant pirates probably have a big drum on their ship to keep rhythm while rowing (do they even have oars like vikings used?) The Nika rhythm is probably even known to them much like how Kuma knew it. That combined with Brook's playong wpuld be fantastic!
@@jackofalltreys4459...so does the drums of liberation...does this possibly confirm that JoyBoy might have wrote Binks Sake?
I mean many people have stopped and pondered the meaning of the lyrics if it does have anything to do with the void century. if so, that means his plan is was being sung about for centuries with no one the wiser except Roger...hell that could be why he laughed in the first place! If the song is infact about Joyboy and the rhythm is to his heartbeat? Wtf do the lyrics mean???
York didn't tell Saturn about Bonney because she has no reason to. I feel like people forget that we're looking at things from the outside and the characters don't see what we see and have less time to think about this stuff.
York is using information as her income to buy a position with the Celestials. She's not gonna just tell them everything she knows. She tells them what she needs to and that's it. Not to mention that she probably assumed The World Government was blatantly stronger than the Straw Hats so they didn't even need that information. They don't think the same just because they share memories. Like how Shaka and Lilith both knew the Strawhats but Shaka noticed they were ready to kill Lilith while she herself thought she was running the show. You have to factor in these kinds of details when thinking about a characters' actions as a reader and especially as a writer.
Well said
@@BobbyMarley718 Thank you
This is a prime example of thinking before typing. I think you nailed that perfectly 👌🏽
@@Ohdylanbro Thanks a ton. 😁
You do realize that not telling them that would be at her disadvantage sooner or later right ? That would be a huge betrayal. Even more than the Researches on the Void Century. If she told the Gorosei, she would have a life warranty since they would know for certain that she is loyal to them. York clearly didn’t know cause if she knew, she wouldn’t hesitate to tell them. It took her too much effort to prove that V was really doing researches on the Void Century. All she needed to do is tell them about Bonney’s rank and V would be assassinated in the same week
Can't wait to see the reunion between the straws hats and the giants 👍🏻
Now I want to call people who aren’t giants “gA’ints”
What if Usopp gets a devil fruit that lets him become a gaint? And maybe Luffy could learn a new fully gaint form, too. Franky could be in his mecha. Robin has her gaint demon clone. Chopper has the monster form.

3:15 that Jojo pose bon clay. Magnificient!

he’s still at Newkama
Bon clay would definitely be a Jojo character
It's a mashup I didn't know I needed
Elbaf is currently under the protection of Shanks and that's why the World Government can't just go Buster Call on the kingdom of Giants for harboring Saul and the books of Oharan archaeologists.
Also you know
Giants
I’m not sure what 5 Vice Admirals are gonna do against an island of giants.
Honestly they would need ALOT more than a buster call to take on ALL of the giants. Even if they weren't on elbaf. But they are, which would make the giants even more determined to protect their home.
Ngl I think the giants take back the straw hats to elbaf so there safe and then shanks will meet Luffy and their reunion while they are safe since there is two yonkos and their crew and the giants and I think that usopp has his glow up
Im just here waiting for the first giant to show haki . Every living being is capable
Reasons for World Gov. not attacking Elbaf:
1. Thousands of Giants (Yes, the Marines have some giants of their own but that only exacerbates the problem - remember which rank each and every one of them has?)
2. Shanks being there occasionally.
Yeah Point 2 is way more important. Especially given Shanks is obviously 400 years old and protected the islands since the founding of the concurrent world system... They cannot provide for themselves, they never had to.
08:36 thinking about it honestly, has Kizaru ever put effort on anything? I need to rewatch these things but from memory he seemed all too happy to letting himself be stopped by Rayleigh, joking with Ben Beckman, shotting the handcuff's key instead of blowing luffy's head, and letting Law's submarine escape between random pew pews.
He seems to be the guy that if worked in an office would say "I was going to visit some clients, but it seems that maybe is going to rain later today" or "Yeah I know I'm supposed to mail this memo but I decided to wait since there's a spider near the door"
I exactly thought so. Like whenever he took a hit from Luffy, I always see him as a guy who pull "Ouch, boss. My stomach hurt. Can I go home now?"
In another words, he isn't motivated at doing his job at all. He took those hits, and use the fact as his reason to not doing his job for a while. He is just like an actually competent worker who just does his barely mininum for his job while keep looking for a chance to slack off. The reason is either he is just lazy (which I think unlikely as this kind of character more fit for Kuzan), or he really hates his current job but he simply can't quit for farious reasons.
@@justawanderingoldman7699 I tought that too! now looks like he is trying a little, but only because scary boss Saturn is watching
That's my take on him. One of the most overpowered devil fruits around, but totally lacking work ethic. His history with Vegapunk and Bonny might be coloring his attitude slightly as well, but it seems more like another excuse to not exert himself than a legitimate reason
York wasn't be able to tell the Marine about Bonney and Pacifista because the whole Strawhat crews are there when she was communicating with the gov't. Telling it to the gov't is like telling everyone about it.
And the reason why she didn't tell them earlier is because she thought it wasn't important
@@AnonymousEnigma19 York may have lingering feelings for Bonney as well. She is technically Vegapunk and should have all the fond memories of when Kuma and Bonney were on the island. Her betrayal was about self preservation and being able to be lazy as a Celestial Dragon, that doesn't mean she needs to betray her old friends Bonney and Kuma.
If she knew, she had all the time to tell them. She could’ve told them 3 months ago when she snitched Vegapunk but she didn’t. She must’ve not known. The only Vegapunks that have to know are Shaka, Atlas and Stella himself
@@nessa6859 Her betrayal was not for self preservation but selfishness. He always wanted to be the ONLY VEGAPUNK and a celestial Dragon. This was just the perfect occasion to get what she wanted. She literally killed Shakka with no remorses and you think she cares about Bonney and Kuma ?
@@AnonymousEnigma19 Not important ? You do realize that not telling the Gorosei would be an even bigger betrayal than researching about the Void Century right ? Saturn stabbed Vegapunk as soon as he found out because that information alone put their supremacy in danger. Command over all the Pacifista is a huge problem. Even though it only applies to S-Bear regarding the Seraphims, the mark III are a huge military force. If York knew about that and really wanted to get rid of Stella, all she had to do is mention that and Vegapunk would get assassinated the same week. If she did that, she wouldn’t even need to mention the Void Century
A nice parallel with the god-Usopp-thingy:
Usopp proclaimed to be a captain way before Luffy did but turned out not to be that.
This tuime Usopp was proclaimed to be a god by others before Luffy was, but turned out not to be that... again.
Bro there's a theory according to his lies
He once said he will lead 8000 subordinates and people think it will be giant's and that 10 ton hammer he had will be Miyonir(Thor's Hammer)
Mjolnir@@BlackShadow-nm5bw
So is Usopp about to start bragging about already finding the One Piece and being the King of the Pirates or about already defeating Imu and being the King of the World?
(Like the theory, just adding to it with 2 things we know Luffy is going to do)
so we agree that Usopp is the actual protagonist?
@@harisnkr925 Mjǫllnir actually though I guess the modernized version would be Mjölnir
I was never bothered by Gear 5th because it shows Luffy's growth as a character. He's not an angry child jumping head first into fights anymore. Now, he has the confidence to smile through any situation because he believes in himself and his friends.
Well said❤
"All according to cake." - Shanks with a Gendo pose probably
What do you think about my idea of Shanks confronting luffy for the poneglyh rubbings and instead of a deathmatch its a davy back fight.
@@Juimhu He already got them from Kidd though
@@SentryxVoidNot the Zou and Big Moms I think
Ah-ha! I see a fellow with good tastes
@@animeYT9215 You're right about Zou, he had Big Mom's and the one in Wano. However I'd assume Shanks already knows about the one in Zou and he was there when Roger got it. So that just leaves the one they both don't have.
Oda had already wrote the end years ago so it makes sense. He thought it would have been over. So fitting in the old character makes sense.
Was going to go to sleep, that can wait another 15 minutes though
So you’re gonna watch this and then immediately fall asleep?? You can just do that??
@@harleyjo4875 unfortunately no, I am still laying awake at 7am trying not to move so i don't wake up the doggo.
After a hard 3 hour study session I needed something like this . 👊🏻
You got this, proud of you.
How did you stay committed throughout the three hours? What’s your routine like if you don’t mind me asking
One thing with the giants, the void century, and Nika is because of their longer lives it is not long removed from them relatively. Jarul and Jorul could have been only one retelling from hearing about the events from a direct witness to the void century. It would be like a human asking thier grandparents about what they heard about thier parents and grandparents.
I kinda love the idea of Bon Clay hopping on the story again. Yes, it makes no sense at all, yes, it would be goofy and yet, the idea of that man coming back for a third time in just the most bizarre way only he can is something i would love to see. And besides, considering what he pulled with Magellan back in Impel Down, imagine him impersonating Saint Saturn. Impersonation round two, Mary Geoise Boogaloo.
Isn’t he currently the new “King”of floor 5 1/2 in impel down? Just need another prison break lol
I mean the rest of the Vegapunks didn't know York was a traitor so either they can selectively choose what info to upload to punk records or york just didn't interact with it for a while. Both would explain why she didn't know about Bonneys command over the pacifista.
Maybe it also just implies that Stella, being the original Vegapunk, still has some private memories or thoughts he doesn't share with the others. Idk if that has more good or bad implications to the story but I like the idea.
@@Pickn4Gold Consider that the Sattelites have room for brains- but Stella had to remove his entirely and uses that apple themed transmitter to remain in contact with it- the stella body is the only one we KNOW has constant and complete contact with Punk Records, because he IS punk records, its his brain. The extent of feedback and access the sattelites have has not been elaborated on, when I read 1106 I thought vegapunk revealing the secret about Bonny's place in the command hierarchy via Atlas, specifically that he talked to her but he didn't just yell out the secret acrros that distance, was because the actual informing of Atlas was don via punk records, and saying anything out loud was just a conceit of the control scheme for such things and a way to make it easier for the readers to see what he was doing.
To add to the "Usopp being mistaken as Nika" idea, let's not forget that both Luffy and Usopp took down a Celestial Dragon back at Sabaody two years ago
For the York thing, I believe she just didn't care like she believed that she had everything under control, and when she did get captured, her only concern was herself
Video 320
I love the videos and I hope your day was great. Keep up the great work.
My major theory as to why so many Alabasta era characters are being brought back in such major ways is because he's always known the ending.
One Piece wasn't supposed to be this long. And Oda likely wasn't planning to go too far past 250 chapters at the start. So now, characters from that time period are being brought back, because Vivi, Wapol, Crocodile, Dorry, and Broggy were always meant to have a major role in the ending.
It just happens that Oda took 20+ years to get here.
Remember when this arc was gonna be about Franky? 🪦
was it ? hearing that for the first time haha
There were many theories of it, because Franky having been at Vegapunks home island during time skip, and them being techies together
1:08 Naah that's foul, Liam is prolly the only youtuber who provides top notch one piece content alongside good humour.
Luffy is going to have the first reverse-buster call by turning EH into rubber and sending the cannonballs back at marines.
Commenting on the thumbnail alone:
Shanks: He's made of rubber.
Brogy: How did that happen?
Shanks: [smiling cause he knows exactly what he'll follow up with next]
Vegapunk was very specific with his reason for implementing Bonnie as the highest authority of the Pacifistas - he did not want Bonnie to die from the hands of her father. Bonnie being in danger or York’s betrayal is not enough for him to bring it up. That’s my guess anyway.
I don't see the seriousness of Luffy's gonne.
Don't you all remember the scene where luffy G5 remembers Pedro?
The only dif It's that Luffy does not lose Hope. He is free from fear.
5:25 it's a fair point, but in my mind, if Vegapunk had told Bonney about her command while in Saturn's giant spider hand, I feel like ironically he would have been ensuring her death. Saturn could have just crushed or impaled her instead of being vindictive and wanting to see her shot by Pacifista(or soldiers depending on the moment). Interestingly, I feel VP has been justified by the way things played out, as Bonney is still breathing(thx to help from others like Luffy making ground bouncy). So maube luck or fate but VP played it right imo
I think the reason Stella didn't reveal that yet was because Bonnie was in Saint Saturn's hand and if he said that, Saturn would have immediately killed her. It makes more sense to reveal that information when she's going to shot by the Pacifista and she's in the middle of the air.
Yeah Saturn could have just kept her from calling out if he didn't just crush her in his hand.
The Vegapunks are connected via the Punk Records network -- York made a point of mentioning that she had taken herself off network to prevent the others from hacking her brain for the password -- so it's possible that Stella uploaded the information to the satellites during an off panel data sync. It could even have been uploaded the very moment Stella had his internal dialog.
you can see that GLR is hyped about Brook playing the Nika music when he is clapping his hands while talking about it
So many theories that would make for great twists. My god its tough waiting week after week for chapters in anticipation of finding out what's actually going to happen. The chapters always blow our theories & expectations out of the water mostly because they hardly ever turn out how we all think and expect them to end up being, and always turns into a much bigger twist with much bigger questions at the end of them that go on to fuel the flames of even more anticipation for the following chapters. You just gotta love One Piece yanno? Haha
The iron giant works from the sounds of drums of liberation
So if Luffy "figured out" the Iron Giant moves on it's own, and it only moves in gear 5, could that mean Luffy is making it move with his G5 power? (Not like the drums of liberation are activating it like most speculate, but Luffy's imagination is activating it because he wants it to move, ultimately it's the same end, just a different means of getting there)
Maybe a small portion of elbaf gonna be about “WHOS THE REAL SUN GOD luffy or ussop” or something
You know, I actually look forward to this kind of video after every chapter more than the chapter review itself.
Some community questions/theories being answered/talked about is usually most exciting part after reading a chapter.
Even more so ever since Egghead started.
When will UTA come or if she is going to play the drums of liberation with brook
12:39 I think the whole God usop thing came about from them. Hearing usop say or miss hearing him say follow me and I will guide you
14:07 well think on how zunishya heard luffy drums from far far away
So the sound is amplified
Zunesha didn’t come for Luffy. He came for Momonosuke and heard the drums when he was nearby. But when you have ears of the size of an island, you can hear lots of stuff 🤣 (he probably just heard the drums through the voice of all things)
i read one piece in Thai but do understand English perfectly as well. In the Thai translation of this chapter (1106) it seems like Atlas didn't know that Bonney could command the pacifista (that looks like her dad). Vegapunk didn't say"Atlas tell Bonney" but he pre much said "Atlas pass my message to Bonney" (in the thai translation) or pre much telling Atlas to tell Bonney what he is telling Atlas. So, I don't think there is a plot hole there I don't think York knew Bonney could tell the pacifista to stop.
Totally not me right now singing Kiesha
"I FEEEL YOUR HEEAA-AA-AARTT, TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUUUM"
I read Oda originally planned OP as a 5 years run.. making the right calculations it seems he thought about the endgame just when he was doing the Alabasta saga, so no surprises he's now taking back those characters and lore!
If the 5 years original plan is true, then Pluton would have been the only ancestral weapon and it's location would have been Alabasta itself. On Skypie the ponygliph would have revealed the Laughtale location instead of Poseidon. Story went different but it seems something of the original plan remained. Think about just Vivi and how she was well portraied at that time, not just a side character but an official member of the crew itself. It's possible that the conflict she had at the end of her arc, to stay a princess or become a pirate was one Oda himself had about her.
It’s clearly not true because it’s been over twenty fucking years of the story.
Oda knew the ending when he started, everything in between is (G)Oda's Vivid imagination!
@@davidbiggs8753 Nope,first when he started story he decided to end the story by Alabasta he himself has said it it doesn't matter what you say
@@davidbiggs8753Was saying to Harley

If Mr.3's candle is competent enough , they are not beating either Saturn or Kizaru.
@@lorddarkrai5753 Mr 3's candle wax was used after they were already weakened and considering Oda has recently already bringing back old characters with huge power boosts, I.e crocodile they can probably hold of Saturn and Kiazru or at least cause enough of a problem that the marines have to flee the island
York already proven that the Vegapunks can keep secrets from each other if they choose to
Vegapunk is just too naive. He created clones of him that are just as human as him and didn’t even think a second that one if them could betray him. His intelligence only lies in research i guess. The only reason he must’ve kept the information about Bonney for himself is probably because it doesn’t only put him in danger but the little girl too
9:51 reasons like this is why I wish that luffy didn’t have seemingly immediate mastery over gear fifth.
Imagine if whenever luffy enters gear fifth Nika is the one taking the wheel being too free for even luffy to control, the best luffy can do is steer Nika in the direction of his enemy’s and let Nika take it from here until luffy gets the time training and understanding to then allow Nika to let him drive the gear fifth body.
Wouldn't it make so much sense for the Ancient Energy Source to be a "Soul"? Vegapunk making experiments with Kuma and his fruit about how much a Soul weighs and discovering the Lineage Factor and empowering the Seraphims with the "Soul" of the Warlords it would be perfect foreshadowing. And then Brook being able to Power the Giant Robot with his "Soul" Music would bring a cool Contrast to his Introduction in Thriller Bark and Moria Powering the Ancient Giant Oars with Souls.
gonna be honest i could watch this channel all day and not get bored
Narrative speaking, it makes more sense to have a Kuma/Bonney flashback first and THEN reveal the power hierarchy for the Pacifistas...but then again, it was already revealed that Kuma was Bonney's father...this is a bigger hoke than I thought
But that Shanks panel talking to old friends hardly will be Dorry and Brogy. They had been for the past 100 years battling in Little Garden, so there's no reason fot Shanks to have assumed they were dead. He, as Luffy, should've met them first time there, and just had to come back to see them alive again. So it's hard to think that suddenly he would assume them being dead.
I think it's Scopper, cause he would be an old friend and Roger probably had connection with the Giants
Bro Shanks was on Rogers ship They traveled from Grandline to New world 2 times Roger and Luffy has many similarities in their journey and personalities so they may have been to Little garden once and met them
And I don't think they showed it in Odens backstory,maybe because he joined later on
I think the thing that makes the pacifists follow Bonnie’s commands is the sapphire necklace that Kuma “left with” Vega punk.
Whether VP made it at Kuma’s request, or if Kuma got it elsewhere and VP modified it to be a command module.
And maybe whoever has it can command the pacifista without question.
We don’t know that for certain. Bonney just recieved the necklace yesterday. I don’t think Vegapunk would’ve risked Bonney to get killed by a Pacifista in the meantime. Every command rank in the hierarchy from Sentomaru to the Gorosei work by Voice Command. Anyone beneath needs to have a command chip. Bonney’s command certainly works by Voice Command cause it would be dumb to give her a command chip that she can loose anytime
I think the reason why York did not tell Gorosei about Bonney and the Pacifistas was because it was never brought up. Same reason why Luffy never talks about his past to the straw hats. He does not say anything unless either they ask or he feels like sharing.
I think Kizaru is facing the same problem as Garp was at Marineford. He spent a lot of time with Sentomaru and Vegapunk. He feels sad that this has happened but he needs to do his job. He told Vegapunk he is just another cog in the machine and he simply should not have researched Void Century. Garp eventually let Luffy go after Ace but in Kizaru's case, he can't do that because St Saturn is right there.
Be careful when you talk about collecting Skypeia characters. I'm already getting UA-cam recommendations for video essays about how Enel is 100% guaranteed to return in Elbaf.
Guys talking about brook
Can he use haki?
Cause he is just a skeleton, haki may require some life force or i dunno wt but he only has his soul.
If he cant really use haki he might become the weakest strawhat, cause usopp the weakest can use observation haki
In relation to the why Stella didn't say anything about Bonney: I think he did what York did and not uploaded the info as a failsafe in case someone from the World Government learned about it. After all, the old saying is "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" right?
Concerning the Satellites knowing about Bonney's position in the hierarchy - the Vegapunks can choose what info they upload to Punk Records, so it could be info Stella kept to himself?
I just have always gotten the vibe that kizaru just doesn't want to be doing any of this. I feel like I've heard a lot of "he seems to be enjoying it," and, idk, it's just always felt like he's doing it for appearances, or trying to do the bare minimum. So when he got hit by Luffy and stopped, I always assumed he was just looking for an excuse to stop. "Oooh nooo the Sun God is here, might as well stop, huh?"
Brook controlling the giant also makes sense cause let's say the giant is part buccaneer or has that special trait and it is some bloodline element, left behind will or soul. Then the soul king brook being able to awaken it and control it by altering things like tempo and time signature would make so much sense
Joyboy getting serious would make him boy
God of war intensified
If luffys DF awakening allows him to alter his surroundings. Could he stretch Shanks’ arm nub into a full arm?
And then? Luffy had to train for years to be able to use his df
🫥
kinda hoping the iron giant, is the original joy boy, who had the nika fruit extracted and had to be housed inside it to live.
I think York is gonna realize the situation and is gonna help the the straw hats. Also I can't stop thinking about Kaku and all the other cp agents that were freed and fed by Luffy, they are going to be on our side during this operation called "we have to leave this island immediately". My question is about Lucci's fate here. The last time he survived the buster call of enies lobby only because of the other cp9 members and in particular Blueno's with his door-door powers. But now Lucci has betrayed Kaku by trying to kill Vegapunk and hurting Stussy, but Lucci himself has been betrayef by the world governament (again) who doesn't even acknowledge his presence on the island. I guess the only one on Lucci's right now os just Hattori
Don't really care about Lucci, especially what he'd done in Water 7. I hope Zoro beats that leopard good. As for York, I doubt she'd help the Straw Hats and allies. York not only tries to kill her former allies, but she also betrayed the Egghead researchers. If that was me, I'd rather have that bitch gets killed for good.
I mean Vegapunk had access to Bonnie's DNA right?
man those animations are sooooo good!! love it
Despite everything, York could have lingering feelings for Vegapunk, since she is him after all.
I have had some theories.
The Iron Giant might be a mech, because the Vegaforce 1, which was constructed in the IGs image is also a mech. One thing all OnePiece mechs (even Oars) share is that they are controlled from the chest, not the head, where Luffy checked.
I like the idea of it being powered by music, and Brook accompanying the Drums of Liberation.
One thing that might be related to that could be Binks sake. The song is about clapping, stomping and playing drums, but it itself has no percussion.
I tried matching up Binks sake x Drums of Liberation and it mostly works.
The Big Luffy Bomber is real!
I have not heard anyone talk about this, but it is not far out of the range of possibilities that the rest of Luffy's crew was his same crew from the void century and they have also reincarnated with him again. To me, the giant robot could be the previous incarnation of Franky who was still intact after their defeat in the void century. I would imagine if Luffy's crew in the current era were defeated and Franky was somehow left intact and working and he heard the drums from a reincarnation of Luffy in the future, it might wake him from his slumber to help his friend.
10:20 That may not be a bad thing. I feel like he'll be better able to access his future site in his other abilities if he's happy and carefree rather than pissed off and stressed out
Well-known throughout the world that anger can cloud your thoughts in a fight
Well if you recall York did say that she can keep info from being put into the punk records so I'm positive that Vegapunk did the same
I was thinking the same. York thinks she's pretty clever, thinking she'd keep all those secrets to herself. However, she's not the only one. Vegapunk Stella also keeps a lot of classified information, including rebuilding Shaka and Pythagoras, thanks to Punk Records. If that happens, I wanna see York's shocking reaction, especially when she shot Shaka to death. Plus I want that traitor to suffer more.
Ik this is really random but there is a young UA-camr by the name of TheRealMarcy10 and he is an awesome One Piece UA-camr who has a lot of dedication and he has a lot of great videos and just wanted to see if you could shoutout his channel?
The number of plot threads that require resolving on Egghead is insane. Did we ever figure out what the silhouette monster was? It was shown before York was revealed as a traitor, but i don't recall it ever being addressed
It was probably just S-Shark
Or Catarina Devon is the ingered robin
Personally I'm fully expecting that it'll be revealed that Kizaru has the mark of the Celesial Dragons on his back, aka he was a slave.
Not only would it fit, him being as meek in the presence of Saturn, but also his default expression being a soft smile, which you can compare to Koala's when she was a child.
That would put Kizaru's encounter with Arlong under a new light
Just putting this theory out there:
There's always this scene that Roger tells Shanks something in secret. What if Roger told him, when Joy Boy returns, make sure to give him a good run for his money meaning challenge him to the One Piece. This could be why Shanks has waited so long to get the one piece because he wants to see if Joy Boy is as really who Roger thought he would be.
Commenting for the first time because of this and your previous video about Brook and the importance of music in One Piece.
I love this take so much because I was directly inspired over a decade ago by One Piece to pursue my dream of touring with a band and I see some unique parallels between the worlds of music and fictional piracy. The most obvious is the experience of traveling in a beloved vehicle (although ours has wheels) with a group of Nakama and meeting other groups out there chasing the same dreams. The alliances and rivalries that develop are similar even if the goals are very different. The whole shonen power scaling dynamic really applies to musicianship as well, with people experiencing sudden jumps in skill or perception and performing seemingly superhuman feats. Even haki fits well, with ear training parallel with observation and chops/physical technique as an analog to armament. It’s certainly true that some rare individuals have the ability to make pretty much anything sound good through sheer force of will and intention, and at the highest levels of perception there are people with perfect pitch and incredible musical memories.
Anyway, it’s ultimately the sense of total freedom and adventure that One Piece gave me as a kid that I was chasing and found in music, and returning to the manga as an adult has been a joyful realization of how influential this ridiculous rubber man has truly been in my life. It’s only fitting that he would value music as much as I do. Thanks for doing what you do, this is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam!
We're in the end game now.
Sad but awesome
You said water 7 Lucci is already here... Unless you mean Tom
I think the iron giant might be where vegapunk "put" kuma's soul when detaching him from his body.
Yay good thing I stayed up till 5:30 in the morning now I get the vid early
Has anyone thought about if the Giant robot was actually an enemy there to stop the Sun God? 😮
Why are the comments are so strange and flattering? Lol. I mean, yeah, Liam's video production is nice, but it seems strange.
We have known that they worship the sun god since Big Mom Backstory, is not that deep
Incoming next adventure: Elbaf 🤞🏿
Shanks met Dory and Broggy because of Usopp I think. Here’s how it went I think. I don’t think he summoned them.
Usopp told the giants in enies lobby about Little Garden who went to Elbaf and told everyone
During the time skip Elbaf has made contact with them (The two are dueling with new weapons and get mail during a cover page) They might have heard about the Giants that joined Grand Fleet are carrying the torch
I think they went to Elbaf to prepare for battle. The giants must have been one of the groups of people waiting for Nika.
So when their people were liberated at Dressarossa is when D and B believing in Luffy and Wano’s bounty poster is what confirmed it.
I think Shanks traveled to Elbaf with Roger and was there to herald the fruit awakening
The lacosta nod is funny when you think about it mascot is a crocodile
I dont think catarina will be used in the way she will be but i dont think just turning into bonny will give her full command she will use her abilities for something else cause thats just to easy
Kizaru did hit Franky... but I think he is hurting as he is having to attack his friends and family. I think that's why he is not in the fight.
Atlas didnt know, she was told.
same way York set a password that Stellar didn't know.
Brook be like doom doo tata
we are forgetting one thing, wich is the ship of Dory and Broggy LEFT egg-head island AND THEN was attacked by the marine, so they have simply done a 180 and gone back to egg-head. probably by sensing luffy's first time going nika vs Lucci (they needed time to return)
Maybe the Iron Giant is an ancient Giant hit by the previous user of the hobby-hobby fruit. Given orders to support Nika, perhaps another case similar to our favorite Giant elephant who walks to attone.
I really don't want Shanks to be some sort of behind the scenes manipulator who controlled the whole series. Otherwise One Piece will end like Naruto and all the characters' emotional and important decisions will feel empty. Also takes away from Luffy's freedom. I personally subscribe to the idea that Shanks was gonna give the Nika fruit to Ace, but fate brought Luffy to it, and only after that did Shanks take more interest in Luffy.
Lucci’s fight was wildly better than Kat’s
I do wonder now if the Iron Giant's mysterious power is just music. Not specifically the Drums of Liberation, but music in general, something Vegapunk may never have thought to try
116 is titled Giants
1106 is titled . . . on your side
Usopp should definitely be considered as a future nika candidate
Liam, where can i get awesome tees like u!?!?
I really hope he just hasn't seen Vegapunk literally dying and will:
a) be able to "heal" others with his power or
b) literally go Monkey D. Ape Sh*t crazy with his Nika Powers given Vegapunk saying: "A Buster Call ain't nothing for Nika"
We have all these Characters that were present on Sabaody when Kuma send everyone flying.
All because Luffy was neither strong enough nor "Mature" enough.
So it feels kinda disappointing how Gear 5 Luffy is acting tbh.
Vegapunk already put Kuma's conscience in the ancient robot but was unable to power it until Nika showed up and it couldn't happen unless Kuma, Bonney, Luffy & Vegapunk were in the same place. I don't think Oda would give Luffy an oversized plot device to command. OR, The iron Giant is a buccaneer from the void century that already underwent the same process Kuma and Vegapunk did in the past. Vegapunk's technology is based on the past. The iron Giant might be the one to give the exposition of what happened in the void century. Kuma runs the same parralells a the iron giant by attacking Mary Geoise. Saint Saturn will see the Giant and recognize it.
is it possible that the reason why they all laugh when they found one piece is actually because they where laughing cuz they were a few years too early. they need the sun god nika df to obtain the one piece. shanks waited luffy to awaken his fruit in order to start finding the one piece.
I think the interesting thing is that music has been playing a role in one piece A LOT recently. Joy boy drum/heartbeat (which is also interesting), uta, appoo controlling the numbers with song, there’s a lot here
I got a theory about Emu ... From what they showed Emu has a tail in a shape of an arrow. My theory is Emu is a toon Devil and the 5 elders have made a deal with the devil aka emu .. giving them immortality and regeneration in exchange of their life/ being faithful to Emu forever ... The 5 elders must be just normal Zoan users ? With an extra boost of Devil powers .. when saturn came to egg head he left a weird summoning ring on the floor which usually is shown as a gate to hell or something (Black Clover refrence) so since emu is the toon devil and luffy a toon god .. luffy should also have similar powers to emu .. Luffy should be able to boost the power of his allies or maybe make then nika as well? (English isnt my 1st language please dont make fun of me 😢)
Although I absolutely love the idea of Gear 5 being an expression of pure freedom, fun and general Luffiness, instead of just another power up, I get why people don't like how carefree he is in dire situations. It would be disappointing seeing him fight personal enemies like BB or Akainu and not be mad af.
Dead serious Luffy where you don't see his eyes makes for some of the most hype moments in the series.
P. S. I really laughed at the Pepe Silvia reference.
