At this point it would feel kind of wrong if Kuma or Bonney didn't get last shot on his rear end. Luffy would also be OK, but I really want to see Saturn eat a massive bear paw to the face.

Or become a baby. Baby Saturn just walking around confused how she managed to rob him of centuries of life.

You have very good One Piece opinions.

Except for the thing about Enel. Enel's moon adventures own and they are real. Enel is the key to everything. Any day now he will crash into the middle of an unrelated arc with an army of robots and it will be beautiful.

But you're especially right about Robin so I'll let it go this time.

He'll crash on Long Ring, Long Land once they find the One Piece, thus beginning the last arc.

Luffy can definitely read. He probably even went out of his way to be real good at it. After all, not reading because you can't is a simple inability. Not reading because you don't want to? That's FREEDOM, baby.

How you gonna learn to fight better if you can't read the weekly Naruto comic in One Piece?

So Bonney has basically had an awakened fruit this entire time, right? She can do weird poo poo with it like distorted future and in her intro she was already making the people around her change their age.

I mean, there is a long standing trope in fiction of the power of children’s imagination. I would guess because she’s a kid that she possibly just has an awakened fruit as it seems like devil fruit need for the user to reach past reality.

the one piece in the story is a manga, nika never existed he was a manga/comic hero that joyboy wished into being

I’m still a fan of it being a giant Afro and Long Ring, Long Land basically was a reenactment of what Joy Boy did (perverted and changed across history) since that is where freedom is the strongest.

Or it’s Binks Sake cup.

I was wondering if I truly had become out of touch and asked all my younger cousins about this. not a single one had even heard of the series and I mean people between 20-30. I don't think double fine games are as popular as ya think

also critically acclaimed doesn't mean poo poo really since we all know mass media reviews are basically a captured industry


Psychonauts is super popular with devs and folks in and around game dev mostly. But it has limits.

The students in my super successful University bachelors in game design haven’t heard of Myst let alone Psychonauts, visual novels, policenauts, colecovision, 9/11, gamergate, EverQuest, or any game made before they were 10 (so think about 8 years ago).

Past like 25, it starts to improve but even when those folks are graduating, the likelihood they’ve heard of any of those games is pretty much 0.

I'm excited to see how much more poo poo can hit the fan now that we are back to the present at Egghead. These are the additional players that come to mind:

- The giant robot that loves the Nika drum beat
- The mystery Blackbeard ship floating around. (I'm hoping somehow Moria & Perona are involved with that since they were looking to escape during the Garp dust-up)
- Big News Morgan w/ Vivi & Wapol
- The last we saw of Miss Buckin & Marco, she was saying Vegapunk was the one that could prove Weevil's lineage
- Akainu and his desk

I love how big and interconnected the world is. Some of my favorite chapters used to be inbetween arcs when we would get glimpses of what non-strawhats were up to. Now it's almost every other chapter.

I’m waiting for Marco’s new plot use. It’s fun seeing him sort of enjoy retirement.

I’ve been thinking about how they constantly refer to dreams. If this metaphor carries across the whole narrative, it might make Saturn a sleep demon along with all the Gorosei.

Ive been thinking that the ancient kingdom was a kingdom of Devils for a while, if only because the WG couldnt allow Clover to even say the name of the kingdom and "Devil" is the only single word I can think of that would reveal a big secret to even a layman. Not super tight reasoning but Im not tryin to claim it is. I dont think the Gorosei have a fruit, theyre likely traitors who sided with the 20 families instead of the D clan in whatever war happened 800 years ago and are literal devils who allowed thier country and fellows to be destroyed. If the devils of the ancient kingdom themselves were hated by the sea as well it could explain why the world seems to have been flooded.

One piece is just Tel'aran'rhiod and Life is a dream from which we all must wake before we can dream again.

gonna effortpost some bullshit theories based off this, becuase its break week and i love being called insane:

i actually think it was called the Pirate Kingdom. everyone was truly free and their dreams could come true because of ancient technology. the current WG dubbed the pirates devils since they opposed the WG in the great war. calling it the "devil kingdom" doesnt really change the narrative that already exists. but if it was called the "pirate kingdom" it would give credence to the idea that pirates had some form of unity and keep them from infighting as they are--if all of the four emperors teamed up at once, the WG would lose so they need to keep them in disarray.

a long time ago the davy back fight originated and part of it was stealing crew members and flags. when cobra was about to get murked, he mentioned flying a specific flag. i think the whole pirate kingdom/davy back fight/flag of dawn are all heavily related. i actually think whats on laugh tale is the flag of the ancient kingdom--i shitposted a while ago about laugh tale resulting in a "jolly roger," but after what cobra said i absolutely think the flag cobra is talking about is this:




That's just Long Ring, Long Land.



I still like the theory that once Luffy gets the One Piece, they have to go back there for something, maybe to fight Imu.

General question but Blackbeard wants to be pirate king but also actually rule the world right? Like those things don't clash but I guess I don't see why being pirate king would be necessary or how come he hasn't attacked the world government formally until I guess whats coming

I keep waiting for Xebec to show up because I think if there are two people in Blackbeard, one of them in Xebec who wants to be king of the world whereas Blackbird wants to be Pirate King. I am guessing they didn't show all of God Valley because showing Rocks would give the game away.

Oh, preferring pre-timeskip is reasonable. "Post timeskip is mid at best" is implying that Whole Cake Island and Egghead are mid and I will not abide such bad opinions!

I don’t understand this line of inquiry, really. It’s like judging a book based on each individual chapter.

Well, chapter 2 was ok but chapter 9 was mid at best. We won’t even talk about chapters 12-87.
