Kild posted:He'd be working for SWORD? Incidentally, I think it's interesting that Sword are not just "good guy Navy" or whatever, they're Navy who are using a loophole to gently caress with the Emperors. They're especially aggressive Navy, who disagree with Navy leadership about how cautious it is. We've seen that it's full of good and brave people, but I can see why someone upset about Sakazuki's Absolute Justice wouldn't exactly find refuge in Sword.

He was fighting sword because sword and Garp are the only marines dumb enough to attack Blackbeard head on like that. I feel like the entire Garp vs. Kuzan fight was Garp telling Kuzan to suck it up and stop half assing whatever he's doing with the Blackbeard pirates, which I've gotta assume means they're in on it together somehow.

Blackbeard was fine just hanging back until the cards fell into place, and if they didn't no big deal. Then Thatch found the one fruit that would set off his plan and it's crewmate killing time.

Just jumped straight to murder. Like, sure, be willing to fight for your dreams or whatever, but maybe try other steps first.

Eiba posted:This is why his fight with Garp kind of proved to me that the plausible idea that he has some secret loyalty to the Navy was wrong. He didn't just incidentally end up fighting the Navy, he ended up fighting Sword. If there was any group that would support him being a loose cannon it's that one. While he could just have such an important mission he didn't want to blow his cover, the framing felt like he really had his own agenda. That agenda will probably be benevolent in the end- I think Kuzan has proven himself to be a good guy- but I don't think he's working with the Navy on any level. Oda also explained their system more in the recent SBS. Sword members are proper Marines, but they have turned in all of their resignation papers, which are just waiting on the final approval stamps. Thus if a Sword member is ever involved in something the Marine's don't want any part of, they can just put the final stamp on, and say that person is not a Marine and submitted their resignation a while back.

Luffy also killed in order to get his devil fruit, y'know That's right, in the One Piece Universe, chests are actually sentient beings. Gaimon is a mature adult of this species, and Shanks and Uta were infants.

If Gaimon had a Logia or Zoan fruit would he transform out of the treasure chest or would it transform along with him?

he'd die because he already ate the treasure treasure fruit

anime was right posted:its possible thatch ate the fruit first, or they fought over it and blackbeard killed him in the process. I think it’s really as simple as the fact that Teach had his dream in front of him and lost his temper and did something he regrets for pragmatic reasons if nothing else. Like, I have no doubt he would have just assassinated Thatch and bought a sack of [insert fruit here] if it came down to it, or any other captain (and it probably wouldn’t even be that hard between it being a devil fruit and the “take more damage one” specifically) but the panel we see of him seething is the one time he looks truly livid.

Even if you're subscribing to the theory that Ginny is Luffy's mom, this is happening when Luffy is 5. Luffy didn't eat the Gum Gum Fruit until he was 7 and it's very clear that Ginny is not a part of Luffy's life anyway. There'd be no reason.

I think it was made pretty clear that Luffy's parents left him with Garp pretty much immediately after he was born so it's pretty unlikely even if you wanna believe that he's related to Ginny.

GLR's video pointed out that the Germa 66 invasion of East Blue happened very close to this time (13 years ago) and the island Ginny's on does look sortof like the one they invaded. Probably a coincidence tho since it's pretty generic for a One Piece island

Even from early days there's been references (Sodom/Gomorroah as names of Franky's King Bulls) or Kuma carrying a bible. Now Kuma is literally taking on the pain of others which is a Jesus parallel if ever there was one let alone him being a "pastor." It's interesting to me that we see Kuma now as a pastor and during that entire career he's never shown carrying a bible, we see him carrying a bible as a Tyrant. Despite all the christianity vibes he gives this chapter I'm not entirely sure it's a holy bible, it could be the Travel Bible for all we know.
