How do you do, fellow Regis?

Do you guys think back in Ohara, if Gorosei figures out beforehand how close the scholars to actually find out about the Void Century, IM would have send down Uranus (I'm calling that thing Uranus until it's proven otherwise), instead of a Buster Call? Because I don't think that Gorosei was expecting Clover to say the name of the Ancient Kingdom when they were talking to him

It could be a case of Ohara not being well-defended, so a Buster Call would suffice in getting the job done (at least, that's what they assumed). The Special Im Cannon could be saved for bigger targets that pose more of a military threat, with this kingdom potentially having its own army/navy/fruit users that could cause a tangible threat to the established world order, especially if they get hooked up with Dragon's people.

They already hooked up with Dragon's people, that's how the king got overthrown. We see Moda from Ace's cover story personally take out Pinkbeard of Blackbeard's crew with the help of the revolutionary flag devil fruit woman.

I've long seen Skypiea as a summarized version of One Piece as a whole, so I wouldn't be surprised if whatever this was was linked to Im's possible devil fruit power, rather than being Uranus.

That's also why I believe the One Piece will be something similar to the bell, which will once again unite the world much like the bell let people down below know that Skypiea really existed and also served to unite the Skypieans and Shandians.

So am I right in interpreting Brook's statement that he never heard of misrule/discontent in Alabasta as another out-of-touch joke? Like, Alabasta just had a full scale revolution with fighting in the streets of the capital two years ago that he wouldn't know about.

The official translation makes that a bit more ambiguous because we know it did never suffer from "misrule" and it was outside forces that stoked the crisis. But there was some pretty notable discontent.


I also only just caught that the next island is a winter island- I missed that in the scanlation somehow. That makes the possibility of it just coincidentally being Elbaf a lot higher. I was looking forward to a completely brand new island, but I've also been looking forward to Elbaf so that would be fine with me!

That's how I interpreted it, yeah.

It's weird how it seems to frequently be implied that the Straw Hats just never bother to tell each other about things like this. I'm pretty sure that Franky uses Wapolmetal in his post-timeskip gadgets without even knowing about Luffy fighting Wapol. Robin probably knows a lot more about Luffy's father than Luffy himself does.

This extends beyond the Straw Hats themselves, too. Neither Shanks nor Garp ever bothered to tell Luffy what Haki was, for instance.

really if you think about it the crew's had very little time just sailing around to touch base on stuff like that since brook joined. they went to sabaody and got sabodied, they met back up and it was almost immediately off to fishman island, they get a distress signal and head to punk hazard, they nab caesar and immediately head off to dressrosa, brook almost immediately gets sent off with sanji, chopper, and nami to zou, then they have to go rescue sanji, and then they go to wano and get split up again almost immediately. brook's maybe spent a couple weeks, a month tops, actually sailing around with the whole crew without anything else on their minds.

they probably told brook the very broad strokes of stuff like alabasta and enies lobby at some point but i doubt they got into the weeds with it.

There's some unseen sailing time in general, but even then Brook had to be with the crew for like. A couple days? A week at best? And then saboady happened. Very funny even at the time.

Though in general I doubt the crew really talks about that stuff in general. It's very funny how we, the reader, get all this context and backstory but Luffy in particular doesn't get anything he was not directly told and even then there's a 50% chance he doesn't take in most of it.
I'm not saying they need to trauma dump on each other but makes me chuckle regardless

I do appreciate that he trusts her to tell him the important stuff. He understands himself well enough to know he doesn't have the attention span and knows Robin understands what he cares about enough to just leave it to her. It's a very strong example of Luffy's good leadership style where his primary skill (besides punching real good) is sizing people up and knowing who he can rely on for what.

But I want to be in Robin's position! Give us the whole in-universe newspaper, Oda!

We never did see his reaction. It would be hilarious if this turns him into a full on Luffy supporter.

Even if not, he could still be the means by which the world at large learns about Luffy's dream if he spreads rumors about it.

i actually wonder if itll be thing where im/the government has maps of the world but theyve scrubbed places like ohara from them (even though they didnt actually blast that one out of existence with a magic laser, just razed it normally) and nami's goal becomes to map out the places the world government tried to scrub.

What if the powerful weather is not from a winter island, but rather the after effects of Uranus?

I think it's relatively easy to wipe an island from history, if you're in the grand line the magnetic field goes away after a bit, newspapers simply don't talk about it since there's no traveling to it and nobody can raise too much of a fuss thanks to all the borders. If it's in one of the 4 seas then it's trickier, but not by that much since you gotta silence a 4th of the world rather than everyone. I assume this drastic measure happens very rarely.

Now, then, if those were to be the conditions, then what happens when you lock to the magnetic field of an island just before it gets blown away? What would they find??


One year from now i wanna make a meme like "heheh uranus go" and then the anime adaptation of this with blown out audio

I was thinking this, but more in the sense of "What if the Strawhats are visiting Vira right now" which we know has had a coup or two recently, and was also completely inexplicably mentioned along side Elbaf and Fullalead as possibilities for the next island. Vira would make sense as one of the 8 that rebelled, so it could be a Uranus target.

Also, the completely random mention in Road to laugh Tale made me think it was DEFINATELY where the crew was heading next.
