Just realized we're actually about to use a log pose again! Some fun facts to make you feel old:

2006: Last time the crew locked on to an island they went to.
2010: Last time they arrived at an island using the log pose.
2012: The triple log pose was introduced, but was never successfully used to reach an island.

Well if that isn't an ancient weapon I dunno what is. I guess with Luffy's Awakening and shifting world powers the WG king is ready to start the great war before Laugh Tale is rediscovered.

Just read a theory that the flying craft that abducted Bege's ship during the post-war arc (back in issue 594) is the same thing that blew up the island. I had completely forgot about those panels.

I love how much a few panels over a decade ago can lead to big things happening now. It's so much fun to see various mysteries coming to light. I can't wait for some of the crew reunions, especially Brook and Laboon.

Was thinking that too, but it's hard to imagine the WG king having an ancient weapon casually flying around attacking small timers. Uranus makes sense coming out now as the WG's power balance is threatened by former Warlords hunting marines, revolutionaries boldly attacking their home turf and Luffy awakening the anti-god fruit. Imu is ready to give an 800 year reminder why he's the king of the world.

HERE WE loving GO

Really enjoying the last few chapters of Vegapunk and old characters reemerging. Finally we're getting the payout for 25 years of world building.

e: I agree with post above, Vegapunk is probably seen as a traitor now that they've had robo-Kuma protect the SHs as well as his replica Kaido fruit being used by SH allies.

I really like the BB crew theme. Big Mom, Shanks and Kaido have their bizzare paramecia, haki and zoan focuses. Now we have BB with his meta ability of stealing DFs, giving his already strong crew the perfect support ability for their fighting style. Very fitting for the final boss of the OP universe as we start to learn the mystery behind DFs.

I think it has to be a Vegapunk traitor, mainly because Luffy broke his boots last chapter. It feels like an obvious set-up that the Traitorpunk will do his BwaHaHa speech and lock the boots, only for Luffy to still be mobile.

Have no clue as to why tho.

It's still a total mystery who Caribou is working for. But he's got 2/3 ancient weapons figured out and going to tell somebody.

Actually poo poo, wasn't Caribou on their ship?

On the topic of best OP moments: When Luffy Law and Kid appear unscathed after orochi's perfect counter attack pre wano . It was long established how unstoppable kaido and big mom were but man that chapter really drove home the idea Luffy could actually win.

Shanks was obvs weak as hell back then, he spent over a year needing a freaking home base in Luffy's village. Luffy however spends less than a month aimlessly wandering the sea becomes the most dangerous man in the East.

Reading Cobra's final words all I can think of is the Tenacious D "We are the D, We are the D, We are the D, We are the D"

e: I'm guessing Imu convinced all the kings that the D Kingdom are a threat to the world and must be stopped . Once they took over Imu reveals his true plan of becoming immortal, taking control of the kingdom's super weapon and thus the world. Everyone who helped him and would keep his secret got to live as gods in return.

How did Lili accidently scatter stones all over the world though? Sounds like she's the OG paw-paw user.

Yeah I'm willing to believe that anyone can develop Conqueror's Haki but the Grand Line acts like a Great Filter and weeds out the weak. We'll see, though!

Seems like you can't directly "level up" your CH by, say, constantly projecting a menacing aura, but you can figure out different ways to apply it. Infusion is taking the principle of emission/ryuo and applying it to CH, for example. You just have to figure out you can do it.

But on the other hand, Shanks was able to intimidate Ryokugyu and communicate with him from what seemed to be a few miles away. If you can't directly train CH, now I'm wondering if Shanks possesses the "Voice of All Things" and can combine that with CH. Or maybe it's something else! I dunno!


One Piece rules

I like to think of the CH explanation as it can't be trained physically but grows proportional along with your sheer determination to be THE KING.

Oh that's good OP. I'm betting York hosed up/got tricked somehow and accidently deactivated the Seraphim.

Or she’s an actual child and even the Five Elders would prefer to spare a kid if they can

Kinda weird to care about sparing a kid considering the chapter starts with the fallout from nuking an entire nation, and literally the panel before he ordered the execution of all the evacuated employees.

Akainu in Long ring long land wants a word, kind of.

Yeah crap he's actually the third person to almost kill the Strawhats after Aokiji and Kuma. BUT he's the first to have no intention of sparing them! It's my most anticipated rematch since the time-skip. During the WB war he was kicking Luffy around taunting him that determination alone is useless if you're too weak to do it. Now 10+ years later Luffy's packing the goods too.
