in the wake of the whole howard hamlin yelling the one piece is real overlaid on the picture of whitebeard with his giant cock out meme, its reminded me that whitebeard just before that basically calls his shot on how the series is going to go down. blackbeard simply isnt the guy thats going to find it because he doesnt have the inherited will, someone is going to "shoulder centuries of history" and theres going to be a great war once its found.

edit gently caress i just remembered its a break week too isnt it

It feels like we're gonna need a flashback to this Rocky Port Incident considering every time we hear about it, it gets more important. At first we only knew it as something that happened that made Koby famous as a marine. Later we find out Law was involved in some way. Now we find out that Blackbeard was also involved and it somehow led to him taking control of that pirate party island with the big skull mountain that's his home base now. Also, incidentally, Blackbeard mentions it helped him dethrone someone named 'Ochoku" who apparently was a member of the Rocks Pirates???

im not too sure how law factors into the situation, but i feel like a pretty safe assumption is ochoku was the last non emperor remnant of the rocks crew and maintained control of fullalead island, and he got caught out at rocky port or something where coby either defeated or claimed credit for defeating him. that opened up a power vacuum that blackbeard was able to take advantage of and seize control of fullalead for himself.

i dont think the yami yami fruit is anything else, but if it were it would probably be the moon fruit. its intersting going back to the picture of blackbeard as a kid because 2 things are prominent about him: his terrible emotional state, and the giant crescent moon put next to him. with luffy as our sun god bringing a romance dawn to the world, blackbeard as his moon foil makes sense.

People are assuming Kuzan is part of Blackbeard’s crew, but I wonder if they’re just cooperating for some unknown reason. It would explain his absence at the current battle.

the original eureka seven actually rules and that isn’t how it ended

it literally ends with them retreating to a cabin in the woods, its the last thing you see in the show

Provided they aren't purged, they'll be the last one standing when Luffy and the waves he makes are done with them.

Speaking of Fishman Island and an attack that debuted there, has Oda ever tried to explain the exact mechanics of how Red Hawk works? Gear 2 heats up Luffy's body and caused him to steam, Haki armors his arm, and then...his hand and forearm just burst into flame. One could say he's igniting the air or something, but he first used it underwater. Is it some vibration trick, generating so much kinetic energy it produces flame? Or is one of those "Zoro can speak with a sword in his mouth and Sanji can ignite his leg because his heart and passion burns so fiercely reality bends for it"?

(With Gear 5 the mechanics become irrelevant anyway: at that point Luffy runs on cartoon rules...)

luffy always ran on cartoon rules. gear 2 is a cartoon bit, gear 3 is directly called out by rob lucci as cartoon logic, gear 4 is not only cartoon logic but if you look closely from the very first time we see it he has that kind of wreathe/shawl thing around him that awakened zoans seem to get even though hes not all the way there yet. if we're taking at face value that zoans have some degree of active will/animus still, then a successful awakening is something akin to like, achieving 100% synchro with it. the awakened zoans in impel down are basically lobotomized because for whatever reason they grasped the power but not the alignment with the fruit and lost themselves. lucci is a sicko fight pervert that likes to hurt people, so hes aligned perfectly with the animus of a leopard. luffy wants to be the most free man in the world and use that freedom to bring liberation to others, so he aligns with the god of freedom perfectly. i would contend hes always been awoken and has only just managed to figure out how to use all the power that entails.

more one piece shower thoughts: if all of choppers points are his different zoan forms, and him becoming monster point is similar to a forced zoan awakening since he ends up mindless like the impel down guards

why does the human human fruit awakening gigantify him

blackbeard being a clone would also explain why even though he's a d, he has not properly exhibited d traits like fearing death and stuff. whatever the will of d is it wasnt naturally passed to him so its either warped or missing entirely

lucci is in a strange situation as a character because hes clearly unrepentantly evil and uses his position to be a licensed killed, but near the end of wano when we saw him he was talking in a way that showed he was understanding of the realpolitik involved in the situation and didnt personally approve of it or the government broadly, so he really could end up going in any kind of direction

"Without that blunder there would be no pirates chasing poneglyphs in pursuit of treasure either!"

Aha so love this little bit of something that has been in plain sight, chasing after the One Piece causes pirates to look for Poneglyphs, which just so happen to also contain vital historical information. Well played, Joyboy!




youre off a bit. roger simply wanted to get to the end of the world first, no one else terribly cared. we see him begging whitebeard to lend him oden and whitebeard only really opposes because they are rivals in a broad sense, not because he wants to get there first or anything. roger instigates the giant push towards laugh tale by associating it with his great treasure, hoping that he can bait and switch whoever is supposed to get there on time (since he was apparently early)
