JahRoo posted:Or he’s not related and is just a huge fan. Speaking of fanboys, I'm a week late on this, but it would be great if Coby reveals that he's immune to the Mero Mero no Mi because there's only one person he loves: Monkey D. Luffy. It's way more likely he's going to collaborate with her in secret, though.

CodfishCartographer posted:So recently I went back and re-read the chapter where Mihawk visits Shanks, and is surprised at the island he's hanging out on. I'm hoping God Valley turns out to be Baltigo or the lost island that points to Raftel.

Cat Machine posted:So Rocks likely had the darkness fruit, right? Would explain why Teach, as a Rocks fanboy, knew it was 'available' and was singlemindedly pursuing it. Also explains how Rocks could possibly keep Whitebeard, Kaido and Linlin on a leash. Counterpoint: I think that all this new info supports my reading that Roger had the darkness fruit. Previously I've said that it's somewhat telling that Teach set out on his pirating career with the express goal of obtaining the darkness fruit, which he believes to be the most powerful devil fruit, the same year that Roger died. Now we have Rocks, of whom Teach is implicitly a big admirer, having been defeated by Roger - at first I thought that Teach believed the darkness fruit was the most powerful because it was what the Pirate King had, but now I feel like he believes it's the most powerful because it was what took down his idol.

Regarding Teechs goals, I'd wants to be the pirate king so that he can do as he pleases at the detriment of others as a contrast to Luffys ideal of simply being the freest man alive.

So was Rocks taken down before they did bounties, was it lower than Roger and Whitebeard's, or is there another reason why the world government didn't issue a bounty on him?

Presumably the bounties are public records, and the World Government did everything it could to completely bury Rocks existing in the first place. So no bounty because he’s flat out dead and they really don’t want people to know he existed so why write his bounty down instead of destroying the records entirely. Also, I think it’s neat how Dragon’s rebellious spirit isn’t out of nowhere now, he likely picked it up from Garp’s issues with the World Government and decided to take it even further to political disruption and upheaval.

One Piece is a manga where none of the main characters show up for a few chapters and it still ends up being goddamn amazing. I love it.

Blackbeard does seem to be at the very least the successor stylistically to Rocks similar to Luffy being like Shanks. Can really only imagine what having Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard on the same ship must have been like. Keep plenty of food and booze on hand I guess. And yeah, Garp's relationship with Roger is strongly implied to be much like Smoker and Luffy.

If Roger also had the darkness fruit, why wouldn't the wg be doing everything they could to kill bb? That seems like too boring a bow to tie around Roger's story. Given the bounties now, I'm interested to see what dragon's is. He's been described as the most dangerous man I'm also curious to see how much of a power level check this is, even though I know bounties != strength. Luffy barely beat a 1.2 billion person, there's no way he can beat two 4s. So who else is going to suddenly show up in wano to help? Either that or the crew gets wrecked

It's really funny to me that even Sengoku is kinda treating bounties like power levels ("if Big Mom and Kaidou team up, their bounty is higher than Roger's!") when earlier in the chapter he mentions that it's just a number Brannew comes up with. These aren't scientific measurements of fighting power (you need Fukuro for that), they're just what some bureaucrat values their threat to public safety at.

Ubiquitus posted:If Roger also had the darkness fruit, why wouldn't the wg be doing everything they could to kill bb? This recent chapter has Sakazuki deciding that what's possibly the greatest threat since the Rocks Pirates is something that they're stretched too thin to deal with at the moment - it's possible that dealing with Blackbeard is what's got them so understaffed.

So the inference at the end is that the marines/WG had no idea that the ponegylphs were being created and written on Wano right? JB translated Rocks as wanting to be king of the world while MS went with pirate king. I assume pirate king is a specific thing that is always used when its mentioned making one of these 2 choices stranged

The lore behind One Piece is a big reason people read it, such as people wanting to learn what happened during the Void Century and us slowly getting hints about it, this chapter adds a lot to the lore.

i love the throughline of {alabasta coup -> ongoing, foiled by straw hats} to {dressrosa coup -> ten years in, foiled by straw hats} to {wano coup -> 20 years in, (hopefully) foiled by straw hats}. wano is extremely well developed as a setting and its crazy how long its been set up......i love one piece

Kegslayer posted:That makes sense though? Yeah, bounties are not power levels but for the WG they are very specifically about "how much of a pain in the rear end are these guys for us to deal with". So two of the highest bounties combining is still a huge deal, even if it was more along the lines of "this drug running business is teaming up with these black market weapons sellers" instead of "these are two big people who can punch us through literal mountains" Basically of anyone the WG has the most stock to place in bounties, even when they don't represent power level

highest bounties for pirates. Dragon is still the highest bounty based of his "most wanted man in the world" title

We have albeit vaguely by way of Garp. We knew he did "Something" big and important enough to have been recommend for the post of Admiral several times and he's been able to get away with a litany of things that would have likely resulted in an execution order if not for that "Something" being so big and important as to buy him a LOT of good will and leeway. Something of that magnitude definitely fits and the whole "teamed up with Roger" part is definitely something that the Marines and WG would want to keep under lock and key hence why the info is treated as something you're only told if it's REALLY necessary for you to know and under no other circumstances. A Kaido x Big Mom team-up with how much more powerful they are now vs before along with the general chaos going on is such a circumstance.

Whitebeard was a situation that demanded almost everything and everyone the marines had that was worth a drat on deck at Marineford, a prepared fortress of their choosing. By comparison the Wano scenario is waaaay less in their favor, and the natural barriers are pretty daunting if you don't happen to be a lucky dumbass. The cost of manpower alone would probably destroy the marines as an organization even if they won.

Another good colorspread without Jinbe in sight, so the chapter wasn't a total flop. My conspiracy theory as to the reason he's not in any of them or his status as not a full fledged member who keeps going out to buy cigarettes and promising he'll be back is that OP is too big of a franchise now and he's not that popular anyway so the marketing boys and editors and whatnot shoo him away.
