I love Saturn's death so much not only for finally getting what he deserved, but also for the irony that he views anyone beneath the celestial dragons as nothing more than insects that can be replaced no matter how many you kill, but the second he caused a major blunder, he's killed and is instantly replaced by another celestial dragon. It's both ironic and terrifying that even the Gorosei themselves can be disregarded and replaced by Imu on a whim.
Imu rules the Gorosei through fear which is scary cause the Gorosei are already very strong. You would think Joyboy lost to Imu directly so many years ago.
My favorite thing about Saturns death is the whole Katerina Devon stealing his appearance. I imagine her trying to rock up into marie jois and immediately being screwed because the gorosei know Saturn is dead
Saturn: *singlehandedly causes every problem the World Government is facing in the story* Imu: "you are fired from breathing, please pack up your desk and kindly leave LIFE"
Saturn's death also reminds me a lot of Donovan's death in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The way he first ages rapidly, then turns into a mummy, then just a pile of ash and bones. I'm sure Oda used that as an inspiration, not just to give us a satisfying death to an evil villain who ruined an entire family's lives, but also to show the true power the Dark Lord Imu holds over these elders. Well played, Mr. Oda, well played indeed!
Hey I just noticed Matt Owens (Creator of the One Piece live action) and Tekking are patrons of yours. Love to see the One Piece community supporting eachother ❤
The live action is a money grab why feed into it if it can never live up to the anime I know the manga is better then the anime but the anime shows more then both and don't get me started on the witstudio remake should have been a prequel instead of a remake of the same story very dumb money grab
Devon (crescent moon hunter) touched Saturn to mimic his appearance (n perhaps as well as his abilities). ➡️ Garling Figarland (crescent) replaces Saturn. If BB pirates invaded Marie Geoise with Devon as Saturn, then there’d be showdown between the two. Gonna be 🔥.
His moon design will probably be a metaphor for being "closer" to the earth and sea aka imu. So the gorosei being surprised will probably mean we'll have a hostile take over later
The only problem I have with the idea that all the Gorosei we've seen being from the Void Century is the way they spoke about the Nika fruit. Maybe this is just a translation thing, but from the way they talked it seemed like they had recieved this information from another source rather than experiencing it firsthand. "The fruit was given another name" "The government has tried to obtain it" not "We renamed it" or "We tried to obtain it".
Exactly, they have more second hand knowledge of the fruit and they didn't recognize Emeth even though he was part of Joyboy's crew so at least some of them aren't as old as the void century.
Isn't this chapter may also confirm to the readers that the current gorosei is not from the void century,maybe some of the gorosei live long enough than the others but not during the void century.
@Beamken The Void "Century" is 100 years. Century literally means a hundred years. It ended 800 years before the current timeline is what confused you 😊
The Sea reflects all of them. So far Imu has been able to get control over the celestial bodies you see in the Night Sky. Imu still hasn't been able to control the Sun of the coming Dawn.
@@DanielGarcia-rx3kt Imu represents the Earth from the old geocentric model where it was believed everything orbited around it. Ofc, this was later proven to be false much like the facade of the WG rn.
Garling's promotion may answer one of the questions the fans have been asking for years: just what is the point or of what use are the celestial dragons in the grand scheme of things? From the beginning they have been shown to be nothing more than amoral, hedonistic megalomaniacs with literal god complex that are just there to burn money and make people's life miserable, with the five elders being the only exemption. However throughout the series and specially in more recent chapters we have been presented with Celestial Dragons that are not only mosters in the moral sense but monsters in terms of strength and wisdom: the five elders, Doflamingo, Garling and possibly Shanks, Shanks of course being the only moral one in the list if it is confirmed that he is one which seems to be the case. I don't know but here's seems to be something about them that in time they produce individuals with great power, maybe there's something in the air in the holy land or there's something effective about the possible inbreeding that's going on there after all. In any case this may point at the possibility that their true purpose is to produce said exceptional members for Imu to pick (like fruits) and turn them into whatever they are for him/her to control and by extension use them to control the world in his/her behalf, not to mention that they become living wmd's capable of great destruction through whatever type of power Imu seems to grant them.
8:25 I think the "Vegapunk Stella" was also a robot and Vegapunk's actual body is in stasis in the Punk Records chamber, because whenever we are shown Punk Records we only see the top part of his head. I think Oda will reveal that Vegapunk's body is in the stasis chamber and hence all the Vegapunk satellites are Alive.
I think everyone is ignoring St Ju Peter's reaction to Garling taking over. Marco One Piece Theorist suggested Peter would be a traitor amongst the elders, making him a friend to Joy Boy. If you ask me his reaction there proves it, he is visibly upset that Garling has taken over. And to focus on solely his reaction (something Oda has already done if you look back on it). This is absolutely setting up AT LEAST some infighting between the elders as the story progresses, and I'm all here for it
Garling's hair also looked like star from front view. I think he is not only represents moon, but also night/darkness, as in night before the Dawn/Sun/Nika/Luffy
My theory since Saturn's arrival on Egghead, is that Imu has an ability that allows him to form "contracts" and those who sign this "contract" will be granted special powers as the ones we've seen from the gorosei. So they're signing a deal with the devil, thus forfeiting their lives/souls, in this case Imu Is said "Devil" and once the contract is done, the individual who signed that contract will lose their life/soul.
This implies that the gorosei were the best and more capable fighters among the celestial dragons in their time, they all seem to have very strong presence/aura and haki. the regeneration, the summoning, the yokai abilities and the telepathy may be a product from imu's powers. Also the fact that Jupiter looks younger than the others maybe implies that there were more replacements, just a thought, with Oda we never know :)
It makes me think of Dorian Gray who is perennially youthful with his real appearance trapped in a painting. Maybe Imu’s painting is the giant frozen straw hat…
I reckon that Garling might have the yokai form of the Tiangou or Moon dog a mythical canine from Chinese folklore said to swollow the moon and will reference the norse monster Fenrir. Or Garling will have the demonic vampiric form of the yokai Katsura Otoko whose handshake dramatically shortens your lifespan.
I really am wondering at this point if Imu is the actual devil. Not with a devil fruit or anything, just straight up a demon. Could be from times from even before the void century, when the Sun God Nika was actually a thing, and other gods were around as well. It would be interesting if Imu was the only and oldest entity that actually stuck around.
Wildman Guessing Theory: maybe Imu is some kind of new type of devil fruit that was based on nightmares and fear instead of positive emotions. I think it might be the will of a Satan like figure that is the forever opponent of Nika that can possess people that eat its devil fruit.
All Wolf bridges connected to Marie Joa as represented on World Government symbol flag. All circles (all wind direction) connected to the bigger circle
I think saturns existence is more likely to be struck from the history books tbh. It would be very fittingly evil and cold of imu to erase the existence of a previously extremely loyal servant the instant the servant fails the master. Further, the world government will never admit a gorosei can be defeated by a pirate. It's the ultimate shame and display of vulnerability. At a time when kingdoms are beginning to rebel, it'd be a critical error to admit the gorosei's fallibility, IMO. Perhaps not only will saturn be struck from the record, but he will actually be replaced by Garling in history, as if Garling had been the one who was there from the beginning. It seems important to maintain the immortal, heavenly reputation of the core of the world government. I actually suspect the marines who witnessed saturns death may end up being eliminated, or having their memories wiped somehow. Perhaps by york at garling's request
I would guess that vodka wolf is in the north blue with its colder seeming islands, bourbon wolf being in west blue with its cowboy and mafia style islands, and rum wolf being in south blue with its more tropical islands. Since I think it matches with each liquors country of origin vodka being Russian, bourbon being American, and rum being Mediterranean. From my basic knowledge or more like feel for those liquors which I may be completely wrong on the origins of.
I look forward for the new Supreme Commander of God's Knights to appear and take Garling's place after the latter became one of the Five Elders. Including the members of God's Knights being sent out to pacify Revolutionary Army-aligned countries.
I feel like Imu taking away Saturn's powers is probably the first time it's happened, considering the name scheme but also how the others reacted to it, as if it's something that was always possible but like "oh shit he actually did it"
Garling is probably the only living person in the group while the others could be extensions of Imu. He’s seen younger in a flashback while the others are the same age.
I wonder if each of the remaining Gorosei, excluding Garling, will be put down by Imu for failing. Maybe because they exhibit a particular stereotypical human action relating to their title and fail Imu because of it.
The current elders have almost certainly replaced others in the past. Maybe not all of them, but some of them are 'newer' to the group than others. That's why they had to explain why they changed the name of Nika's fruit, which didn't make sense to me at the time, because some of the Gorosei weren't around when it was done. I'm very interested in seeing what, if any, transformation Garling gets. If he also becomes a Gyuki like Saturn, it implies Imu only has 5 forms he can confer on his chosen allies. If the transformation is based off the person though, I'm kind of expecting Garling to get a Griffin form and have Shanks battle him at some point (possibly with each Yonko crew and the Revolutionary Army fighting an Elder, while Luffy fights Imu?).
Since Garling takes Saturn's place, does that mean he becomes a malevolent looking spider centaur or an entirely new fearsome creature of its own right?
Huh didnt even think about devon's mission to copy saturns appearance but yeah, saturn suddenly dying in a massive way infront of everyone kinda makes whatever that entire plan was pointless now
Imu is the Devil himself. As such Saturn signed away his soul and it was cashed in. Imu most likely had the immortality surgery done on themselves and has some type of power (most likely a contract because you know deal with the devil) to grant eternal life to whomever (except himself obviously as you can't really make a contract with yourself) as long as he lives which is essentially forever. And once the contract is voided the years catch up to you.
Saturn got blamed for everything when they all messed up. If Zoro didn't fumble and York didn't squeal they wouldn't have been able to stop the message so they were basically swinging at air by themselves.
@@w1-w2-w3 200 years and nobody thinks to pull it out or study it as it's from the ancient kingdom and could have had special properties or made with technology the scientist of that era did not have access to. It's a major fumble in all honesty. Even vegapunk not trying to open and study how emmath worked seems like a detail missed especially when science looks at something from every angle
I don't think all of the gorosei are from the void century, Saturn likely isn't because it wouldn't make sense for him to have never seen/heard of technology like Emeth, especially being a presumably capable scientist
The Sun and Moon are historically considered planets. Also the largest asteroid, Ceres, is spherical like a planet and used to be considered one for like 100 years. Maybe Imu’s ancient weapon is Ceres since Uranus, Poseidon, and Pluton were presumably alligned with the Ancient Kingdom
Devon's epithet being 'crescent moon hunter' is interesting now with Garling being even more relevant. Curious to know what the BB pirates plan to do with a dead Gorosei's face though
I love the disproportionate look of all the combined Vegapunks. The connection to Weatheria is interesting but also makes complete sense. This chapter clarifies that the Gorosei are likely regular celestial dragons elevated to the Gorosei council. I think we all saw Saturn dying, I don't think anyone called Garling joining the Gorosei or really anyone replacing him. Questions I have now: how long has each member been on the council? Did they all join at the same time? Are they immortal? Does Garling take the name "Saturn"? Does Garling get a Yokai form? Did Garling know about Imu beforehand or learn at his appointment to the Gorosei? Who now leads the God's Knights, Shanks' theorized sibling? Do the God's Knights know about Imu? My guess is Garling was told when he became God’s Knight Supreme Commander but none of the other Knights know. I saw GrandLineReview mention that in Film Red, Venus said the name Figarland with the same disdain that Sengoku talks about Garp’s family so could the Figarland’s be the “problem children” of the Celestial Dragons? Vodka Wolf, Rum Wolf, and Bourbon Wolf‽ I wonder if they have a summer, spring, or autumn environment. And are they connected to Whiskey Peak at all?
So does Imu have a DF that lets him connect/share things with people (ope ope no mi immortality, thoughts and teleport to each others locations)? I feel like his powers whatever they are is way stronger than something like the jacket devil fruit 😭
Saturn was replaced with a Moon 🌙 - I will call this new form Franken-Punk, but as for Punk Records I totally called that the clouds would push it away from Egghead which now makes it similar to Laputa Castle in the Sky - For Minatomo I think someone kidnapped him along with the women from the previous chapter covers, so that way he can build the kidnapper a ship to leave Wano
I think York might end up taking control of Neo MADS. Garling is bound to have big plans as one of the 12 candidates for the one piece, and York isn't gonna do that herself. With Queen in Marine custody, too, we could have a full MADS reunion.
I really dig the whole Gorosei being Imus Apostle like Bersek. If thats the case then Garling is the Locus of the grouo. Recently apointed and his Demonic form shall not be wildly monstrous rather elegant sharpy, like the Knight he is. Also ending up as a close advisor to Imu.
The way Saturn reacted to Emeth 200 years ago makes me really doubt that he was alive during the void century so that makes me feel like the idea that he's the youngest and weakest of the Elders is probably true and he's probably not much older than 270 years old.
I think that bonnies power is an extract of imu. I think imu can give any power(or any combo of powers) to anyone. Remember that sugars fruit made her eternally youthful. I think that ginnie was one of imus wives too. Not saturns or garlings.
Some people say Imu's powers are not devil fruit powers but something entirely different. But I think, Imu is not a devil fruit user, he's the devil himself. And can give any DF powers to anyone including immortal youth operation. You see, he's not giving the OP OP fruit, just one power of it. Except for maybe human human fruits powers, like Luffy's and/or Sengoku and Chopper.
What I want to know is, who among the Elders gave the order to kill Luffy during Wano? From the way Saturn talks during the Gear 5 reveal, it would appear to be him. If so, that is yet another blunder against him
I don't think saint saturn was alive to see the original nika or any Nika because while he's dying, he says he didn't think that the fruits powers were so "nebulous". Implies he's never seen one.
it might also be possible instead of perennial youth it could be that bestowing upon them their powers stops their time as in freezes them and prevents them from aging as long as they posses the power just a thought 😊
Since the latest episode was the anime adaptation of Sai & Leo harming Charlos, I think think the upcoming chapter should give us an update on the Grand Fleet, which will include their respective reactions to Vegapunk's message, as well as whether or not they'll believe that their Emperor was responsible for the scientist's demise like Leo did. Plus, we see Hajrudin being the main focus of that part since the next big Arc will take place in his homeland - Elbaf. Speaking of Charlos, we could get another scene at Marie Geoise, which could involve Charlos's sister - Sharlia being curious about what their ancestors really did during the void century. Followed by Garling's next course of action, as well as being introduced to more Holy Knights, especially showing how powerful they really are.
Why would he want eternal youth and to be considered the top of society? He had nothing to lose but the inevitable death of old age he was already facing.
I like to think that's the reason why they were so shots to hear that he was the new warrior guy the science and defense was that they knew what happened to Saturn and they were like oh no we can be replaced the new how he died since they're all a part of him and he got scared😅😅
Oh, wise creator of digital realms, I, a humble seeker of wisdom, beseech thee! Bestow upon me the sacred knowledge that we seek, I wander, yearning for enlightenment. Guide me, O master, and illuminate the path to understanding with your boundless knowledge. 🙏✨
I, couldn’t help notice St Jaygarcia resembles Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead. Just an observation. There seems to be some allusions to various musical genres!
I’d love a different power but it’s not that often you get to witness two people owning the same fruit and how they end up using its power Obviously flame is one exception but ace mastered it and sabo had it for a few months and didn’t get to break it out much. Invisibility in Shiryu’s hands isn’t that huge a buff cause he probably would’ve killed most people outright before lol
My theory: i think that the gorosei are infused with Imu's Haki. A person can coat their body with haki and can infuse or coat their weaponry with haki. The Iron Giant; Emeth, had a knot infused with Joyboys Haki. The Haki survived over the Iron Giant's long life cycle. Dracule Mihawk has stated that coating a sword with haki can make any sword a black blade, and the act of coating a sword into a black blade makes it indestructible. Kuma took Luffy's pain, and Zoro took it in, using that example Luffy is the stella for the pain and Zoro is his satellite. Vegapunk took aspects of his persona and personified them, Vegapunk is the stella and the other six Vegapunks are his satellites. Zoro is the stella and his swords are his satellites infused with his haki or "will". Joyboy is the stella and the knot loaded with his Haki is the satellite. I think Imu is the stella that infuses his/her haki into whoever fills the position as his/her "satellites" or as the fanbase knows them, the five elder stars and should Imu ever remove his/her haki i think the gorosei would age appropriately as they are no longer indestructible. bonus: if my theory is true then i assume that the poneglyphs are also satellites infused with haki.
Catarina Devon touched Saturn and has his image, but Saturn is now dead, this will be interesting in the future. It might be a fucked up move by the Blackbeard pirates
Imu is a giant sea dragon with lipstick she's a Bakunawa but she ate the mythical zoan human human fruit sea devil 😈 it allows her to shape-shift into a human she looks like a goddess she prefers to look like lili nerfertari!!!!
i dont think if im crazy or not but i think dragon has more tattoos across his eyes now, was it always like this or something new he did? maybe it means something idk
I love Saturn's death so much not only for finally getting what he deserved, but also for the irony that he views anyone beneath the celestial dragons as nothing more than insects that can be replaced no matter how many you kill, but the second he caused a major blunder, he's killed and is instantly replaced by another celestial dragon.

Yeah, I think Garling's ambition (Haki) is closer to Imu's ambition level than to the other Gorosei.
more like petty arguments will take over and cause them to make more blunders. Guessing Garling will have a huge ego causing to clash with the geezer.

Probably the Gorosei were all God knights at one point? the best of the best from different eras?
I feel like Imu taking away Saturn's powers is probably the first time it's happened, considering the name scheme but also how the others reacted to it, as if it's something that was always possible but like "oh shit he actually did it"
Fellow Marine: "Sooo, is the fact that he hit Vice-Admiral Dobberman after he asked that question proof that-"
Doll: "Sh-Shut up."
The medics still haven't shown up by the time Saturn dies so shouldn't we assume Doberman's body has just been there the whole time?
I wonder if the death of Saturn will also be credited to Luffy and the egghead incident as a whole
What happens when Devon turns to Saturn and goes back to the holy city.
Garling is probably the only living person in the group while the others could be extensions of Imu. He’s seen younger in a flashback while the others are the same age.
Imu doesn't say that Joyboy got away, he says that he was behind that escape, that he helped them escape even from the past
I wonder if each of the remaining Gorosei, excluding Garling, will be put down by Imu for failing. Maybe because they exhibit a particular stereotypical human action relating to their title and fail Imu because of it.
The current elders have almost certainly replaced others in the past. Maybe not all of them, but some of them are 'newer' to the group than others. That's why they had to explain why they changed the name of Nika's fruit, which didn't make sense to me at the time, because some of the Gorosei weren't around when it was done.
I'm very interested in seeing what, if any, transformation Garling gets. If he also becomes a Gyuki like Saturn, it implies Imu only has 5 forms he can confer on his chosen allies. If the transformation is based off the person though, I'm kind of expecting Garling to get a Griffin form and have Shanks battle him at some point (possibly with each Yonko crew and the Revolutionary Army fighting an Elder, while Luffy fights Imu?).
Since Garling takes Saturn's place, does that mean he becomes a malevolent looking spider centaur or an entirely new fearsome creature of its own right?
Some people were thinking he could have a Fenrir devil fruit, the monstrous wolf of Norse mythology. Fits in well with the upcoming Elbaf arc!!
It would be pretty neat that figarland would turn into a werewolf
She's always been scared of joy boy because it's a gag of her character in the beginning she was a small sea snake
Huh didnt even think about devon's mission to copy saturns appearance but yeah, saturn suddenly dying in a massive way infront of everyone kinda makes whatever that entire plan was pointless now
Such a great chapter. Especially since the recent anime episode has Imu sitting on the empty throne. Timing is perfect
Imu is the Devil himself. As such Saturn signed away his soul and it was cashed in. Imu most likely had the immortality surgery done on themselves and has some type of power (most likely a contract because you know deal with the devil) to grant eternal life to whomever (except himself obviously as you can't really make a contract with yourself) as long as he lives which is essentially forever. And once the contract is voided the years catch up to you.
Saturn got blamed for everything when they all messed up. If Zoro didn't fumble and York didn't squeal they wouldn't have been able to stop the message so they were basically swinging at air by themselves.
If Saturn had destroyed (emuth?) (the robot) the Joyboys Haki wouldn't have been unleashed. Imu remembers the robot also.
@@Tundra1428 how did nobody open the robot to see a string? Saturn is very bad at his job
@@ivanbluecool They might just think it as the normal rope. Honestly, it do looks like the normal rope.
@@w1-w2-w3 200 years and nobody thinks to pull it out or study it as it's from the ancient kingdom and could have had special properties or made with technology the scientist of that era did not have access to.
It's a major fumble in all honesty. Even vegapunk not trying to open and study how emmath worked seems like a detail missed especially when science looks at something from every angle
@ivanbluecool maybe they too don't believe the sky islands exists and never saw the rope usage on Weatheria.
I don't think all of the gorosei are from the void century, Saturn likely isn't because it wouldn't make sense for him to have never seen/heard of technology like Emeth, especially being a presumably capable scientist
The Sun and Moon are historically considered planets. Also the largest asteroid, Ceres, is spherical like a planet and used to be considered one for like 100 years. Maybe Imu’s ancient weapon is Ceres since Uranus, Poseidon, and Pluton were presumably alligned with the Ancient Kingdom
was waiting for this one
Imu discontinued Saturn's immortality subscription for terms of service violations.
Great video. Thank you arthur
Devon's epithet being 'crescent moon hunter' is interesting now with Garling being even more relevant. Curious to know what the BB pirates plan to do with a dead Gorosei's face though
Idea for a Deathbattle: the Gorosei vs the Godhand.
It's a 5 v 5 match up between immortal demons!
I love the disproportionate look of all the combined Vegapunks. The connection to Weatheria is interesting but also makes complete sense. This chapter clarifies that the Gorosei are likely regular celestial dragons elevated to the Gorosei council. I think we all saw Saturn dying, I don't think anyone called Garling joining the Gorosei or really anyone replacing him. Questions I have now: how long has each member been on the council? Did they all join at the same time? Are they immortal? Does Garling take the name "Saturn"? Does Garling get a Yokai form? Did Garling know about Imu beforehand or learn at his appointment to the Gorosei? Who now leads the God's Knights, Shanks' theorized sibling? Do the God's Knights know about Imu? My guess is Garling was told when he became God’s Knight Supreme Commander but none of the other Knights know. I saw GrandLineReview mention that in Film Red, Venus said the name Figarland with the same disdain that Sengoku talks about Garp’s family so could the Figarland’s be the “problem children” of the Celestial Dragons? Vodka Wolf, Rum Wolf, and Bourbon Wolf‽ I wonder if they have a summer, spring, or autumn environment. And are they connected to Whiskey Peak at all?
So does Imu have a DF that lets him connect/share things with people (ope ope no mi immortality, thoughts and teleport to each others locations)? I feel like his powers whatever they are is way stronger than something like the jacket devil fruit 😭
There's no doubt that Saturn is the oldest if not possibly the first elder to be elected as he knows of the buccaneers
So can Imu telepathically communicate with anyone? And I bet thet its not only the 5 elders that are aware of Imu existence before Sabo saw him/her.
Saturn was replaced with a Moon 🌙
- I will call this new form Franken-Punk, but as for Punk Records I totally called that the clouds would push it away from Egghead which now makes it similar to Laputa Castle in the Sky
- For Minatomo I think someone kidnapped him along with the women from the previous chapter covers, so that way he can build the kidnapper a ship to leave Wano
I think York might end up taking control of Neo MADS. Garling is bound to have big plans as one of the 12 candidates for the one piece, and York isn't gonna do that herself. With Queen in Marine custody, too, we could have a full MADS reunion.
I really dig the whole Gorosei being Imus Apostle like Bersek. If thats the case then Garling is the Locus of the grouo. Recently apointed and his Demonic form shall not be wildly monstrous rather elegant sharpy, like the Knight he is. Also ending up as a close advisor to Imu.
The way Saturn reacted to Emeth 200 years ago makes me really doubt that he was alive during the void century so that makes me feel like the idea that he's the youngest and weakest of the Elders is probably true and he's probably not much older than 270 years old.
I think that bonnies power is an extract of imu. I think imu can give any power(or any combo of powers) to anyone. Remember that sugars fruit made her eternally youthful.
I think that ginnie was one of imus wives too. Not saturns or garlings.
Some people say Imu's powers are not devil fruit powers but something entirely different. But I think, Imu is not a devil fruit user, he's the devil himself. And can give any DF powers to anyone including immortal youth operation. You see, he's not giving the OP OP fruit, just one power of it. Except for maybe human human fruits powers, like Luffy's and/or Sengoku and Chopper.
His head looks like the world governments logo if you add the 4 gourosei around him
I wonder if the idea of the moon having an effect on the sea (in how it creates waves) will be expressed through this change.
I just thought of this after seeing the thumbnail, Im(Imu)mortal lol. Foreshadowing?
Garling Figarland will be the shortest ruling Gorosei. Also keep in mind his name might be related to Noland.
What I want to know is, who among the Elders gave the order to kill Luffy during Wano? From the way Saturn talks during the Gear 5 reveal, it would appear to be him. If so, that is yet another blunder against him
I don't think saint saturn was alive to see the original nika or any Nika because while he's dying, he says he didn't think that the fruits powers were so "nebulous". Implies he's never seen one.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter reaction was particularly concerning. He may the one traitor about whom Mjorg speculated in his video.
it might also be possible instead of perennial youth it could be that bestowing upon them their powers stops their time as in freezes them and prevents them from aging as long as they posses the power just a thought 😊
Don't forget venus was once Shogun of Wano...
Since the latest episode was the anime adaptation of Sai & Leo harming Charlos, I think think the upcoming chapter should give us an update on the Grand Fleet, which will include their respective reactions to Vegapunk's message, as well as whether or not they'll believe that their Emperor was responsible for the scientist's demise like Leo did. Plus, we see Hajrudin being the main focus of that part since the next big Arc will take place in his homeland - Elbaf.
Speaking of Charlos, we could get another scene at Marie Geoise, which could involve Charlos's sister - Sharlia being curious about what their ancestors really did during the void century. Followed by Garling's next course of action, as well as being introduced to more Holy Knights, especially showing how powerful they really are.
Nobody is questioning what Garling had to benefit from becoming a Gorosei. If he’s that strong, why is he wanting to become a puppet?
Why would he want eternal youth and to be considered the top of society?
He had nothing to lose but the inevitable death of old age he was already facing.
I like to think that's the reason why they were so shots to hear that he was the new warrior guy the science and defense was that they knew what happened to Saturn and they were like oh no we can be replaced the new how he died since they're all a part of him and he got scared😅😅
I love your content bro
10:16 turn into a massive skeleton so whatever he was, a giant perhaps, he was huge
Is this how Punk 07 Kid is still alive?
Oh, wise creator of digital realms, I, a humble seeker of wisdom, beseech thee! Bestow upon me the sacred knowledge that we seek, I wander, yearning for enlightenment. Guide me, O master, and illuminate the path to understanding with your boundless knowledge. 🙏✨
I, couldn’t help notice St Jaygarcia resembles Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead. Just an observation. There seems to be some allusions to various musical genres!
I’d love a different power but it’s not that often you get to witness two people owning the same fruit and how they end up using its power
Obviously flame is one exception but ace mastered it and sabo had it for a few months and didn’t get to break it out much. Invisibility in Shiryu’s hands isn’t that huge a buff cause he probably would’ve killed most people outright before lol
14:40 This is gold
Considering how Saturn went, Garling was demoted.
Year of the snake
You ever notice that Egghead looks like a strawhat
Ju Peter was shook. Ju Peter is the traitor.
I think IM or an item he has will be empowered with the Jikgoku or hell devil fruit which allows him to transform his servants into monsters.
My theory: i think that the gorosei are infused with Imu's Haki. A person can coat their body with haki and can infuse or coat their weaponry with haki. The Iron Giant; Emeth, had a knot infused with Joyboys Haki. The Haki survived over the Iron Giant's long life cycle. Dracule Mihawk has stated that coating a sword with haki can make any sword a black blade, and the act of coating a sword into a black blade makes it indestructible. Kuma took Luffy's pain, and Zoro took it in, using that example Luffy is the stella for the pain and Zoro is his satellite. Vegapunk took aspects of his persona and personified them, Vegapunk is the stella and the other six Vegapunks are his satellites. Zoro is the stella and his swords are his satellites infused with his haki or "will". Joyboy is the stella and the knot loaded with his Haki is the satellite. I think Imu is the stella that infuses his/her haki into whoever fills the position as his/her "satellites" or as the fanbase knows them, the five elder stars and should Imu ever remove his/her haki i think the gorosei would age appropriately as they are no longer indestructible. bonus: if my theory is true then i assume that the poneglyphs are also satellites infused with haki.
Catarina Devon touched Saturn and has his image, but Saturn is now dead, this will be interesting in the future. It might be a fucked up move by the Blackbeard pirates
Imu is a giant sea dragon with lipstick she's a Bakunawa but she ate the mythical zoan human human fruit sea devil 😈 it allows her to shape-shift into a human she looks like a goddess she prefers to look like lili nerfertari!!!!
i dont think if im crazy or not but i think dragon has more tattoos across his eyes now, was it always like this or something new he did? maybe it means something idk
