The One True Oden

holefoods posted:

I have a question about the Navy, I’m in chapter 416 so if this could be explained without spoilers or maybe it’s not even explained…

(you’ll find out eventually is also an acceptable response)

How exactly does a buster call work logistically? I’m under the impression that someone with the authority to call one can call it anywhere at any time. Obviously, the navy has tons of ships so they could have a fairly decent response time to any part of the grand line… but how exactly does navigation work in this scenario? Does the navy also rely on log pose navigation? Do navy ships have eternal poses for islands in their vicinity? Do they have an entirely different mode of navigation?

There are some things that explained more later (they have ways of dealing with calm belts), but it's mostly a matter of overwhelming resources, and limiting the possibilities of where a buster call could be called. They don't just toss the authority to call one around lightly, it's only in very specific situations in which the World Government has an interest in guarnateeing complete annihilation of an island, for one reason or another. So like, they would know ahead of time when one might be called, and be prepared for it with proper navigation tools (eternal poses).

also for what its worth all the places you see getting buster called at that point are either very close to navy headquarters or there was a thoroughly planned operation to destroy the place ahead of time, and I don't know if this ever comes up but presumably the world government/navy has eternal poses to everywhere they consider important

Furthermore Since the Buster Call is, well, called via a specially bred Transponder Snail that transmits its location to Headquarters, it is highly possible they can use the snail to navigate to the island that the Buster Call was requested. It might even have its own magnetism for a sort of eternal log pose based system.

they had oda write the plot outline & do the character designs for strong world as a 10th anniversary celebration, and probably gave it more of a budget than usual? and then it was a much bigger success so i think that made them realise that putting more time & money into the films could be more successful, instead of just churning out what were mostly just extended filler episodes of the anime annually for the school holidays

Yea this was the turning point, and having Oda continue to design the characters and even turn in a rudimentary plot outline like “this fits with the themes I’m going to be going for without completely stepping on the toes of or contradicting stuff I’ll be doing eventually” makes a world of difference. Before you either had stuff that was a watered down version of an existing villain/plot or even just outright retelling an existing plot because it’s otherwise hard to know what powers/plots Oda is just gonna do better in the future

It has to be her if anyone. I honestly dont think Id want anyone on the crew that doesnt have pre timeskip ties to the strawhats. The crew really feels set ESPCIALLY with Yamato and Carrot both not joining.

We are missing Hattori from the shot of Luffy and Zoro watching over Lucci and Kaku, but things still lean more towards Lilith. I'd be fine with either.

Also a wild shot that Shaka's been playing everyone this whole time.

I remember reading that Oda (or maybe an editor?) clarified that Luffy wasn't counting himself. So if that's true there's still one left yeah. Unless plans changed or something.

Vivi seems the most obvious option for sure.

Though it could be a character from this arc + elbaf. Maybe Bonnie joins to finish what Kuma started. Since there's a lot of history with Kuma at least. Or Yamato joins after this arc in a similiar fashion to how Jimbei's joining was delayed. So there's some possibilities depending on how crazy things get.

That's not all he says,

"What if a sniper has his wicked sights trained on you?"
"What if a meteorite falls upon your head?"

Saw a theory from forever ago that this is basically what happened during Reveri. The meteorite is that Admiral's ability pretty clearly, though up in the air who the sniper was. I think they were theorising the birds alluded to the Revolutionary guy with bird powers, this is way more funny.

I mean, she’s literally been marked as a target by Imu so if it hasn’t happened yet I assume the sniper thing isn’t too far off now
