Personal theory about the One Piece that I'm sure has been floated before, but just getting it out here while I'm mulling over it:

It's One Piece, the story we're reading right now, sent back in time to before Roger's era. That's why they were laughing, even though they were reading all about the World Government's atrocities (because they're reading about how it would end in shame and ridicule for them a couple of decades down the line), and how he knew for a fact he was too early (because he had yet to kickstart the Great Age of Piracy that would ultimately bring down the World Government). We know there's a fruit that can send people and objects forwards in time, so it's not impossible that there's another fruit (or the same fruit, fully mastered) that could do the reverse.

I'm also wondering if it's possible that the very first Joy Boy was Luffy, sent back in time to start the legend and then pulled forwards again to complete his task in the modern day, but I don't think there's enough evidence for that quite just yet.

Canonically, Joyboy reads and writes. Thus he can't be Luffy.

Also kind of a dick move to laugh at the part where your son is horrifically murdered.

One Piece is a core drill. but Roger did not have a robot to put it in. with Franky tagging along they've got the one missing part. And so kicks off Oda's mecha series, BIG EMPEROR 6, and we will finally get the true combination sequence we were denied all those years ago

It’s a cute detail. Idk how much sense it makes though since it should be Nami jonesing for a smoke while in his body, but I’m glad he could avoid being disrespectful in at least one way.

well Chopper's the one actually in Sanji's body so maybe he's got some sort of Doctor Resistance

Frankly, there's nothing to suggest that Sanji is actually addicted to nicotine rather than just liking to smoke.

I would further propose that his altered body could be reasonably immune to the effects of addictive substances.

Sanji smokes for the same reason that other anime characters wear weighted clothing: it dulls his sense of taste and he'll be too powerful without that handicap.

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if this was something Oda knew about when drafting the chapter, “make a baseball bat to hit the acid away” feels like an oddly specific counter compared to just balloon-bouncing it back.

Oda should do that but it just ends with the plot critical thing being hidden across the massive treasure spread and someone vaguely referring to it from offscreen.

Waiting for Oda to do what happens in the Pirate King tomb dungeon of Skies of Arcadia where the treasure is a note literally saying the real treasure is the friends you made along the way.
And then some historian offers to buy that note for an insanely high amount of money a few hours later.

I just found out there is (or was) merch that has Yamato with the Straw Hats? :confuoot:

It's amusing to be because it's hard to know if merchbros know something we don't or guessed and were wrong. or too early.

I find the subject of Yamato endlessly fascinating

For a long time it was Yamato towel vs carrot cover. In a genre full of insane fan rivalries it continues to be a very potent division, imo even more heated than Zoro vs Sanji.
