There's also what the marines do to keep order in the vast majority of the blues; to the average people who live there the Marines just enforce the law and get rid of pirates who'd want to steal from them

Since almost literally 90% of the story has taken place in the Grand/Red Line it’s hard to be sure how the normal Blues work if East Blue is any indication, but it’s hard to imagine the Navy does a very good job between despots like Morgan who are just straight up pirates, and guys like Nezumi who actively collaborate with Arlong to cover up the extent of his reign of terror.

I wonder why pirates chose to occupy the grand line / new world before the one piece came along. I guess since it's dangerous waters they're self-protected, but it seems like more would have been established in the blues.

We also see Smoker and Pudding in the East Blue. Both who are attempting to be forced of justice in the area. To be honest I think it’s likely that the East Blue just gets forgotten about because it’s the weakest sea. So people like Morgan have more of a chance to become petty tyrants.

My assumption is that piracy established itself in the Grand Line during a period before the marines had access to machinery that allows them to power through the Calm Belts.

Gold Roger reignited the Age of Pirates but there’ve always been people like the Rumbar Pirates who were just “hell yeah, let’s sail into this uncharted death trap and die horribly” and they were way before his time. I don’t think every pirate cares about something like the One Piece but even someone like Bellamy that initially laughed at dreams and adventure still risked his life to go to Skypeia.

There's plenty of lootin' and plunderin' to be had in the Grand Line, you just have to be made of sterner stuff than the pirates who stick to any of the Four Blues.

The fact that there was a definitive "finish line" in Laugh Tale doesn't appear to have become common knowledge until Roger went the distance, which makes me think the initial lure of the GL was just people trying to figure out what the gently caress was even down there.

And presumably there weren't that many pirates before the Great Age of Pirates. I mean, why else would they call it that? There were some, sure, and eventually as they grew in notoriety they'd naturally be pushed into more and more into inhospitable seas. I guess I wonder why Roger specifically tried to sail around the whole Grand Line. I wonder if he learned something that send him in that direction at some point.

while we're on the subject of the origins of rogers voyage, i just wanna say this is probably my favourite flashback and one of my favourite scenes in the whole story. manages to give a lot of context and convey a lot of emotion while still having such great economy of storytelling that it's short and gets away with not actually telling us anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_I3_XlWb-0

I think the implication was that before Roger very few if any people had reached Lodestar Island, where he learned about Raftel. I think the nature of the grand line and the idea of a last island is pretty tantalising mystery to an adventurous soul. Like, provided he was still, somehow, inspired by Shanks I kind of feel like Luffy would still be trying to sail to the end of the grand line even if Roger never existed.

Between the somewhat similar start of Luffy/zoro and Roger/Rayleigh and Rayleigh having conquerors haki I wonder if we'll see zoro get it

Tbh I’d be happier if he’s just A Guy who’s almost as strong as the future Pirate King because he trained really hard all the time, but itd be a safer bet that it manifests.

When my roommate who got my into One Piece first told me about Luffy using Haki, it was all said out loud, and so I totally thought that Luffy used some weird Gum Gum Hockey move, and was trying to imagine what kind of attack that would be.

side note but i also want some payoff with momo's fruit being a dragon esp considering there's been like three on screen mentions by kaido to him saying he doesn't look the part of oden's kid and i just feel him also being a dragon has to come up!!

I don’t think Monet was nearly low level enough to be effected by normal use of conqueror’s haki, and honestly I always felt like the killing intent blade trick was likely an extension/specialized use of it

Just to play devil’s advocate, Luffy didn’t do that either and his dumb rear end nearly died because of it.

Betting Chopper has some prior knowledge of this virus/condition from his time studying abroad. Maybe he will be useful for something again finally? Queen knows Judge. Has it been established that the Vinsmokes have done business with Kaido's org before? Would be cool to find out they were the ones who designed his mecha-arm.

Evil mad hyper-science seems to be a small field in OP Besides kaido did work with Caesar whos connected to Vegapunk whos connected to Judge. And id think its a Yonko's crews business to know these kind of things. Its not a impossible for them to have met, and still likely for Queen to have been one of those people's lab assistants.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Evil mad hyper-science seems to be a small field in OP I'm guessing because, you know, economy of detail, that Queen knows and /or worked with Vegapunk at some point in the past, very probably when Caesar and Judge did before Vegapunk got snatched up by the WG. I think the timeline more or less works if Queen joined Kaido just before they took over Wano. The idea makes even more interested to meet Vegapunk since that'd make the Science Squad we've seen 3/3 for total pieces of poo poo.
