It's way worse. Imagine going though all your dad's memories from his point of view. By the time she gets out she'll not only know in detail if he can poop, she'll also know what else happens behind closed doors.

Bonny is going to see all of his memories in such detail and length that once she gets out she's just going to think she IS Kuma.

The black boat oddly reminds me of Jojo part 5, where a stand has the big power up, but how to catch it is a mystery. It's a race to figure it out. Except the stand didn't make whirlpools. I don't remember what it did.

Yeah I said this to some friends the other day but coyly calling someone as famous as like Sabo or Kuzan "the man marked by flames" would be like calling Red Haired Shanks "the man with the 3 line scar". Like everyone knows those guys, they have been talked about by various people especially recently when their antics reached the news, and this clearly isn't a nickname for any of them, so it makes it unlikely that a few key people both 1. are using some weird way to describe a world famous person and 2. are maybe even confused by who that famous person actually is (like, Blackbeard's group recently got in a fight with Sabo, why would they not remember he has burn marks?)

He asked his tattoo artist to put "Freedom Fighter" in the language of the Void Century, but it actually says "Try-hard Edgelord". Robin knows, but she doesn't feel the need to point out the mistake.

This goes well with my theory that the reason Crocodile didn’t want Ivankov spilling his secret is that Crocoboy used to dress god awfully and Ivankov has photographic proof of how bad he used to look. Ever since he updated to his rad Alabasta drip, he’s lived in constant fear that his old self will released to the public and everyone would make fun of him. Especially because it was the Marineford War and the whole dang world was watching

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
sabo wouldn't make much sense, he's only had any connection to flames fairly recently (since dressrosa) while the story of the man marked by flames has been around for longer

saul made sense as a possibility after we found out he was alive on elbaf, but the new info doesn't seem likely to line up with him at all.

a new character seems just as likely as it being dragon, who's the only character who really lines up with this latest info much

Tbf Sabo has burn scars from when his dingy got blown up, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a reference to his fruit. But I still agree it’s not him

Also Oda kinda already pulled the "surprise, it's Sabo" card in Dressrosa, and that mostly worked because he had been mostly absent from proceedings for a while. Sabo has actually been doing stuff relatively recently.

If Sabo had a poneglyph he'd have given it to Luffy already. He loves that kid.

All this speculation about where the last red Poneglyph is is reminding me of the speculation of where the Soul Stone was in the MCU.

them saying "they gave it to some guy in the WG" makes sense. garp wanted dragon to work for the marines... and he probably did, and got assigned to protect the last poneglyph, and was like "wait what the gently caress, thats the world history?" and rebelled.

seems obvious they would entrust it to garps child, given how loyal and strong garp is.

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
So I'd like to mention something about Garp and his legacy

Based on what Kuzan talked about here, it seems Garp really did succeed in passing down core parts of his philosophy to his wards and his proteges.

'Live free and do as you please.'

But for Garp himself, he is in an almost unique position within the Marines; the legendary Hero who can do no wrong, his direct superior also being his best friend who would (begrudgingly) cover his rear end when needed, and of course, personally being one of the top ten shitkickers on the entire planet.

So of course for him it's not as personally onerous as it would be for literally anyone else.

And that's why the people he had the most influence on and up walking away and being thorns in the side of the WG. (Dragon included, maybe)

Big twist: The man marked by flames ends up being Luffy the whole time, and the "missing road poneglyph" that everyone is scrambling over is the one he got on Zou.

Akainu's magma is the cause of the big scar on his chest, after all, and Luffy has never worn a shirt that covered it.

This guy has been active for a while appearntly. Like Kuzan even said that he himself sounded like he fit the description, but Teach said no cause this guy has been around longer than Kuzan's relatively recent injury (Which happened not long after Ace's death)
