[@mintyfresh4526]

I really liked the one theory about the Gorosei being a part of Imu, but when I first read the chapter I thought that those shadows were like creatures that Imu created with a Devil Fruit of some sorts. I thought this because I thought that it would be cool if that Imu had the exact opposite Devil Fruit thsn Luffy had. A Nightmare Devil Fruit would be appropriate because Luffy's Devil Fruit is based around dreams.

Important addendum: do NOT mix the rice at any point while it’s simmering, because it becomes gloopy and hard. Take it off the heat when it’s done and let it cool down for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork.

unexpected rice cooking tips on this channel, ty!

[@Enoxificatti]

Interesting. I'll take this solid advice. Thank you 😈

[@eddieddieeddie]

and the type of rice you use also has different ratios of water, brown rice for example might need more than jasmine rice which might need more than short grain sushi rice

[@gavinglen4363]

I run with a 25% increase in water to rice weight ratio. Rinse rice several times until the water is mostly clear, wait an hour (helps soften the rice) then add water, start to simmer then reduce heat to the lowest setting. My usual is 200g rice to 250g water for two heads. Usually cook Japanese rice but works fine with basmati, Thai Fragrant, etc. But yeah, don't stir it while cooking, and use a wet tool to stir unless you want this stuff sticking to your chopsticks, spoon, etc.

[@gabrielgoes0]

My rice is great and I do mix it a bit when I add salt. I also, before adding the rice, let a little bit of chopped onion and garlic simmer for a bit, it adds a lot of taste to the overall recipe

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

For the haki thing with logias. Crocodile in Alabasta very specifically says he trained hard to MAKE himself turn into sand reflexively when he was hit by an attack, so that it would pass right through him. The fact that he took efforts to explain that very much implies that logia users do NOT automatically turn into their element when hit, they have to do it themselves.

[@uuh4yj43]

idk this idea seems to have been thrown by the wayside since, im pretty sure sabo did it immediately after getting his fruit in the gladiator arena, but i could be wrong, it seems to be an inherent ability of logias, since blackbeard very clearly said his logia was different bc of not having said invulnerability

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

@@uuh4yj43 Sabo already knows haki. That alone could explain his ability to turn intangible at the correct time. As for Blackbeard... characters can easily be wrong about things. We don't actually know that the darkness logia can't become intangible, only that Blackbeard doesn't know how to become intangible with it. To further show how this could easily be the case, Luffy's flashback shows us that fruit users don't automatically know how to use their fruit, they must learn or at least understand it intuitively before they can actually utilize the fruit's power properly.

[@PFTheGreat]

I think we all are a bit to focused on one final villain. It seems more like Oda is setting up all sorts of different groups with different motivations that will come into a larger conflict.

[@zoulong52]

My theory on D, it’s not a clan or group of people it’s a chosen name that has something to do with supporting or honouring joy boy and his ideology. But because it’s been so many years the bearers of D have forgotten, so they just assume it’s a family name.

[@pirateking1028]

I agree, I don’t think Lili was a D until after the war and by claiming D she proclaimed her loyalty to JoyBoy and the ancient kingdom, which is why Imu got so upset. Meaning Oden could’ve easily been a D, we know he was waiting for JoyBoy’s return and maybe after finding the one piece he claimed his loyalty to those ideologies.

[@lauralopez4447]

The giant that saved Robin had a D and since then ive thought that the loosing side decided to add a D just like the mugiwaras marked themselves with the x in alabasta.

[@cwj_721]

Why would there be anything special about them then if it wasnt a specific group? The present day d’s are all shown to be tremendously significant

[@pirateking1028]

@@cwj_721 I’m assuming there IS like a specific name or clan that the D represents, but like Oda had Ace say in this chapter, at the end of the day “..it’s just a name”. So yes D most likely means a specific name, but the meaning behind D and the message that gets sent to world when they see the D is more important

[@ethandavies6691]

Sabo is starting to become one of my favourite characters. He's been so influential in the story and has a lot of ties to characters with some really cool moments. Don't think anyone can call him an ace clone anymore. He tackles things with a more tactical mindset and seems almost more dependable than he was.

I was discussing this with a friend, and we reached the conclusion that it would be thematically appropiate for Im to be a traitor to the D clan. Considering how much relevance "Inherited will" has on the series, maybe Im was born as a member to the D clan, but decided to seek a different sort of freedom: one that allowed it to "break free" from the Will of D.

We have a likely immortal character with access to an island busting sky weapon but the theory of Imu op-op personality swapping into the body of someone who could control an ancient weapon seems a lot less popular than the all but confirmed immortality would suggest. Doflamingo pretty clearly linked both op-op operations to the "treasure of Maryjoa" and "true power". These fruit shenanigans also allow for Lili's personality to be imprisoned in a certain giant wandering elephant. They also set-up a very interesting future role for one Trafalgar D Water Law.

[@derekmayers-louther]

Good theory

[@CriosAntari]

There is a legend about an elephant that come to mind with this theory of Lili being our large wandering pachyderm, one of the man who steals the elephants skin tricks the woman into marrying him then eventually she finds it and returns to being an elephant (thinking it being the reverse of the story, the frozen straw hat being the "skin" in this case). There is another about a reincarnation of Buddha (A red faced elephant with 6 tusks) and two wives but it would be quite a stretch with making it fit, but we know Oda and his love of religion and tying it into OP many times over.

[@eenn78]

I love that a hated villain has gotten a chance to shine in recent times, now all we need is Foxy to be revealed as a mythical zoan and we're all set!

[@depressedpacito7024]

Im convinced the shadow powers from Imu and The Elder Stars is something new, Oda love revealing a new power or concept every major arc. He takes the first bit to show it, the next bit to explain it, and the last bit for the Strawhats mostly Luffy to counter/learn it themselves to be on an even playing field. Its entirely possible it is a devil fruit power used by Imu but then how would Saint Garcia use it near Egghead/on it? If its not a new power its something devil fruit or haki related. Maybe manifesting your Haki into an image for others to cower to?

[@thomasbrooksbank1342]

Caesar and Caribou traveling with the straw hats I was fine with but I don’t think Wapol can travel with them it would feel weird. Wapol killer Dr. Hiruluk and I don’t think chopper will let that go. that would be like having Arlong on the ship.

[@x10018ro]

09:39 Oh my god, I just remembered what I first thought when the chapter came out and we saw the silhouette on the cameras. Because some people said it could be Saturn, I thought: "Unless Saturn is some shadowy creature going goblin mode it isn't him." and now we just straight up see that all 5 Elders are strange shadowy creatures who can go goblin mode. I kinda agree that it could be from Imu's power, like an extension of Imu or created by Imu. It just looks more like something like Moria's shadow and not just straight up silhouettes.

[@TheSkullivan12]

Crazy theory time: Vivi is going to need to hide out somewhere that the World Government can't follow her, so she'll head to Wano. There, she'll meet up with Yamato, Momonosuke, and Kinemon, where they'll end up bonding over their shared connection to Luffy. Eventually news of Straw Hats' situation will reach Wano, and the four of them will set sail as the self-proclaimed 2nd Division of the Straw Hat Pirates to reunite with Luffy and the rest of the crew.

[@eternal0blivion]

My headcanon theory is that D stands for (not dawn) Dream and watching Imu or Mu using some sort of power, with all the silhouettes around, be it Gorosei or not, it seems like scenes from a Nightmare (completely contrasting with Dream). So, maybe we need the Sun to shine and take away the nightmares and people can dream freely (we can also day dream). After all, "people's dreams never end/die". It's also fumny how the shape of the letter D resembles a wide smile

[@Shiggystardust]

There’s a theory it just a side ways smile.

[@lordfreezer5631]

There is a misunderstanding. Cobra was attacked by the shadow arrow/devil's tail (probably by Imu) the first time. Then Sabo entered the room and attacked the 5 elders, believing he killed them but they transformed in the other 5 shadow figures (the minotaur/devil one, the big mouth one, the one with the "awakening/mythical cloud", the bird looking one and the big moustache Gorbaciov). So I don't think that they transforming is part of Imu's powers but them transforming to use the zoan's durability to tank Sabo's attack

[@rkvlegacy9206]

I agree from what we’ve seen the Gorosei are their own people who follow Imu. They also act as the highest authority known to the World as no one not even higher ranking members of WG know about Imu. Shanks only met with the 5 Gorosei. Imu is not suppose to exist according to Cobra

[@Nightlingbolt]

I mean, it's just disappointing to think the Gorosei, who in theory should be THE biggest badasses this side of Kaido the Strongest Creature, are just straight-up Zoans. Hell, even if they're Mythical Zoans, then it's just Wano all over again, with every other Zoan being Mythical (Orochi, Gyukimaru/Onimaru, that teapot raccoon...)! I mean, yeah, they're gonna be actual deities, but still, you would think at least one Gorosei would have a busted Paramecia, right?!

So most of what I got from this chapter is that Lili was the only ruler from the 20 kingdoms who didn't want to participate in the sham that is the World Government and got killed for her "betrayal", but not before sending out that letter. Though I think she sent multiple letters, or at least 2. One to Alabasta, one to the Ancient Kingdom which led to the poneglyphs being made. For the time being I'm saying the Five Elders are simply vessels Imu bestowed a fraction of their power to in exchange for complete subservience, that power probably being the ability to control the devils themselves without needing the fruit as a conduit. Imu's ultimate form being some type of devil dragon would be pretty cool. Kaido is the dragon of the seas, Monkey D. Dragon is the dragon of the land, and Imu is the dragon of the skies overseeing everything below. Bonus points if it has some type of moon/lunar theme

Pell or Chaka seemed like they would have been much better choices. The idea that Vivi wouldn't be immediately recognized, especially by Crocodile, still seems crazy to me. Perhaps being a D helps make this plan of Vivi's, and Cobra's subsequent approval, make sense(?). Maybe I missed something somewhere. Has any good reason been given as to why Vivi joined Baroque Works and not someone else?

[@demonsorrows]

(Apologies for length. Just thorough with my thoughts is all.) My current theories: Theory 1- Imu being alive is tied to devil fruits continued existence. All the devil fruits we know were created during the war in the Void Century by Imu's power (maybe the original devil fruit?), and If Imu dies, all devil fruits either stop regrowing and/or their devil fruit will regrow somewhere and another could get it. Theory 2- The important lost knowledge is that "rulers" of the past were chosen by those who had a or a few specific devil fruits, and one of those fruits was the ability to create devil fruits that could be useful for certain needs. When war broke out against a brutal ruler and the ruling classes, many different types of fruit were created by them to use in the war, including The Hito Hito no Mi, which was tied to the idea that "human imagination is limitless and therefore the most powerful of all". Imu used trickery to influence the ruler(s) saying it would be one of if not THE strongest in the arsenal. After it was created, they were betrayed and it was given to/taken by Joyboy and eaten. It helped turn the tides of the war. When the rulers were taken out, Imu took the devil fruit the same way Blackbeard did with Whitebeard and stepped up as ruler. When It was over, Joyboy thought he was safe and was killed by Imu (maybe by betrayal after getting what they wanted.) Afterwards, they couldn't find the fruit. Knowing the power it had, the danger of being used against them, it was a threat. The alliance Imu started, creating the world government, they ordered to eradicate any knowledge of it, anyone who knew of the fruit's existence, and any who would seek the knowledge of the Void Century. But before any of that could be fully done, Joyboy put down ponoglyphs. Derp theory- Hito Hito no Mi grew where Joyboy was buried after his fellows recovered his body/remains. No one knew except those who brought him there to be away from anyone that might mistakenly disturb his resting place. Someone found it and thought they could get a shiny berry for the fruit not knowing what it was. Changed hands until it was intercepted by Shank's people, believing it had to be super important for CP to be involved. Okay, I'm done.

i dont think vivi will become a permanent member of the straw hats, but i do belive for a little while we will have vivi aspart of the crew again

I could see luffy and blackbeard eorking together just so the navy doesnt get in the way of their fight a full on "we gunna throw hands but first lemme just take the trash out" Then buggy makes qn appearance just in time to stop/block a black beard sucker punch

What if LiLi is actually Zunisha 😮

[@TheClanFollows]

One thing to keep in the back of your head is that saturn the planet has 52 named moons. Might mean nothing could mean everything

[@scottpeg194]

I think the smile at death is more than just about being a D. It's more about those individuals having accomplished what they set out to do and having no regrets. I also think that Rocinante might fulfill this criteria as well. Whitebeard didn't because he still had the regret of failing to save Ace or neglecting Squard.

Dude, your animators, editors, and yourself are going balls to the walls with how well your videos look with the 2D pictures

[@andrewjennings947]

It's a little hard to see,easier in the color one, but you can see one of the elders wheelchair laying on its side. I definitely think they just have devil fruits of there own.

[@evie-_-]

I believe that based on how imu most definitely knew Lilly was a traitor, and probably suspected that she was a D. And still tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, and even seemingly was sad or disappointed when hearing she was a D might imply some connection. Maybe it was child-parent, romantic, friendly, or admiration, but I think imu had some connection with lily that was strong enough for imu to want to see lily in the best light possible. Maybe when imu looked at vivis picture they we’re reminded of memories of lily, and couldn’t bring themselves to tear it up.

[@sethadams3464]

Its funny that you said that the 5 Elders seem cohesive with Imu and like an extension of Imu . I say its funny because I just thought when I saw this happening maybe Imu isnt Imu. Maybe its I M U (I Am You) to the 5 elders.

[@sethadams3464]

I could be just talking a load of nonsense ofc

[@leonsmuk4461]

my expectations towards Egghead thicken. With all that unfolding I can't help but think everything culminates at Egghead. The Strawheads, some Blackbeards and a Gorosei. Vivi wants to meet-up with Luffy and Sabo wants to meet-up with Vivi. The Revolutionaries have more than enough reasons to also pull up on Egghead, the chance to eliminate a Gorosei (since he's been seperated and outside of the Holy Land) is just too enticing. This is just a crazy amout of buildup >_>

[@Nightlingbolt]

Do the Revolutionaries even HAVE that intel? Like, how would they have figured out an Elder Star had left the Holy Land?

[@nighttimeasbestos5958]

Crazy amount of buildup but it's not going to be the culmination of everything as you say. Way more potential buildup can be done, I mean the Grand Fleet, Cross Guild both have no reason to appear soon. That being said I kind of see this arc similar to Sabaody, and wouldn't be surprised if it's Dragon who shows up at the end to step in with the Elder.

[@monkey-wrench1027]

If the Revolutionary Army is coming to take Out one of the elders, ill bet Dragon will be there as well. It's gonna be a family reunion for Luffy.... could that mean it's gonna be God Valley 2???

[@blazingbarreljay137]

My concept is that Imu has ancient Devil Devil Fruit where they make contracts with individuals and grant them powers within Imu's Imagination. Sabo used a Chess reference to knock down the Elders but Imu may have the ability to force them back into awakening and get them back awake. The limitation is they have to be in proximity of Imu to be impowered making it so that the 5 elders do not need devil fruits but only to assist Imu. The other Comment Sabo said was Hell is here on top of the World, but the D clans job is to flip the order of the world. If this is correct, the Celestial Dragons and Slaves may be food for Imu if Imu is some devil species when they end up in the Water. The reason they wear those suits is not for space but because they are diving suits to keep Imu alive. Thus giving reason why fishman island needs to be evacuated after Luffy destroys it

[@Mana_Crow]

I have some theories for some of the things that could happen in one piece after the last chapters: Theory 1: Devil Fruits and their Origins - Devil Fruits were once real people, and anyone who was not at the location of the 20 kingdoms when the world was transformed became a Devil Fruit. - It seems strange to me that Celestial Dragons like Charlois don't possess some of the strongest Devil Fruits. - Zoan type fruits could have originally been real animals. - The reason Doflamingo wasn't accepted back into Mariejois could be because he had eaten a Devil Fruit and not the killing of his father. - King's appearance with rubber-like abilities and the possibility of Joyboy being a Lunarian could be connected. - You might say how is it that joyboy had such a big strawhat (his mom was a lunarian and a size queen) - Imu and the elder stars might have natural-born powers instead of Devil Fruits. - Devil Fruit awakenings could allow fully awakened users to communicate with the real person in the devil fruit. - The term "Devil Fruits" and the portrayal of enemies of the World Government as devils like Nico Robin could have a symbolic meaning. Theory 2: The One Piece's Nature It's unclear to me why Imu or Akainu doesn't simply destroy the One Piece, which makes the presence of the bottle of sake unlikely to me. - The reason for not reaching the One Piece for 800 years remains unknown. - If Joyboy or Lily's story (Cause roger called it a story) is embarrassing for Imu, it could explain why the World Government go so hard against anyone trying to find the One Piece. - The One Piece might hold some significance or have sentimental value for Imu, which prevents its destruction. - The construction of the bridge could be used to reach the One Piece somehow. Additional Theory: Pell's Fate There are two possibilities for Pell's fate for me: - He could be an ancient weapon that cannot transform into his battleship form or a construct that could be reassembled. - Pell could be one of the four special Devil Fruit users, alongside Marco, emphasizing the rarity of their flight-related Devil Fruit abilities. This is just my headcannon and not fully fleshed out yet cause we don't have all of the puzzle pieces yet. Also english is not my first language so this isn't written perfectly

[@w.8372]

I'll give you some food for thought. About the One Piece nature. Akainu is the fleet commander of the marines he protects the people of the world. So maybe Imu is doing the same thing protecting the world. The destruction of the One Piece is not possible because the One Piece would be realized through the destruction. Pell's fate is interesting because it might be strongly linked with the desires of the two 2 royal devil fruits of Alabasta. I recently bought the box sets and in the english translation Pell calls himself the guardian spirit of Alabasta while Chaka calls himself the guardian deity of Alabasta. Pell is based on Horus and Chaka is based on Anubis. If you look at what Horus stands for (kingship, healing, protection, the sun and the sky) then it's clear that at the moment of the explosion Pell was fulfilling the desire of his devil fruit. So it's possible that saving Pell is the desire of Chaka's devil fruit. Or in gaming terms you kill Chaka first.

[@Mana_Crow]

​@@w.8372 I don't see the world government doing much to protect people, especially when it comes to the One Piece or mostly anything that's not in their best interest. They went as far as destroying an entire island (Ohara) just to cover up the information found there. And they wouldn't hesitate to call a buster call on Laugh Tale to keep its history a secret as well i would imagine. It's strange that for 800 years they haven't destroyed it. If Akainu was too busy, they could have sent Rob Lucci or even Spandam to handle the situation when it turns out to be a bottle of sake. Something smells fishy there, but i think Oda thought of something pretty complex. As for Pell's fate, I really hope they address Oda's biggest plothole where there should be five flying fruits. where he somehow only meant mythical flying so the could be more to his power then only flying and shooting. As you said he is based on one of my favourite gods in fiction as a kid (SG1 and papyrus). It would fit the themes of One Piece very well the god that brought the light from the sky back to egypt ending the darkness brought by his brother set. Fun fact from the brother set is he had a child with a god from a foreign invader and was shown as a crocodile. There was a good side to Set though cause he was the one that kept beating the serpent trying to swallow the sun. The world government let crocodile invade and is a foreign power with the lily backstory. Only two good things i can think of for Anubis though is that he protected tombs of the death and that he judged the wicked in the end of their life. I hope Oda laughs with every fake out death to work towards his Pell reveal. Still I choose to ignore it when it's revealed fake out deaths of characters i didn't like lived in my heart they are not alive.

[@w.8372]

@@Mana_Crow The One Piece is a bit more complex than a bottle of sake. And the world goverment is only protecting the world not the people. And a particuliar point of the world on top off that. Laugh Tale is easy to find for us readers just think of the last landmass of the Grandline and the pirate theme off the manga. Destroying Laugh Tale with a buster call would be impossible.

[@avivos9404]

Need to remember all of those things happen in last chapters, are the things that now sabo telling to dragon and ivanko. They are sitting talking there. We allready know sabo didnt met luffy recently and didnt delivered him the messagge from kobra. So i guess he will need to tell dragon he he going to find luffy. It makes me wonder if we near the point were luffy and dragon will cross paths. 🤔 Maybe just a wishfull thinking 😄

[@wingshad0w00982]

With Luffy and blackbeard being allies it a) means that Blackbeard is the 'true' final boss and b) will be them becoming unknowing allies. The only way I can see it is the Straw hat and blackbeard pilots both chose to fight Im at the same time which is entirely possible.

[@FirenX1]

I would think so too since once upon a Time there was also a Roger & Garp vs Rocks

[@shuckleiscool7330]

If Imu has the devil model fruit, deal with the devil would be a cool ability. But most likely it’ll be another fruit for them

[@MartiniPistache]

Oden could still be a D member as far as we know.. Now that characters can have the D attached to them retrospectively, like the Nefertari family. The Kozuki can also be a D clan, making Momonosuke also a D

It does kinda make sense. Since D diesnt necessarily mean a bloodline rather a way of living

[@KyleAlexJohn]

Considering Blackbeard's power to steal the powers of others, I could see Imu being dealt with as the penultimate showdown only for Teach to steal whatever Imu's power is, leaving Luffy to now have to battle the combined powers of Teach and Imu to claim the One Piece.

[@abel3557]

[@Charoy612]

I hadn't even considered that the existence of the Yami-Yami No Mi implied a naturally occurring equivalent... oh. Ohhhh.

I think that Imu is lucky roux because they both have the same siluett, and in episode 420 of Two Piece, we saw their backflashes, and they were both very similar.

[@headshotfaze9371]

If you go along with tune force, and work with the gags, you can also counter it. Eddie Valiant did just that in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, gaining a sort of limited toon force all his own.

I love the idea of Luffy and Blackbeard launching assaults on Imu at the same time, unrelated, and both crews getting absolutely battered, needing to work together to survive

Law, luffy, & Vivi will all be sailing together the way the story is being set up. All of the D. Clan will be facing the celestial dragons at some point for different reasons. Leading to the biggest war in one piece. Blackbeards plans, Luffys destiny, the revolutionaries war.

[@TheSpencermacdougall]

I wonder if the line "bear the flag of Dawn" is confirmation that the D stands for Dawn. "Monkey Dawn Luffy" is a fitting name for a Sun God.

[@OsDYonko]

The Logo of the Revolutionary Army resembles IMU. We can see his EYES, CROWN and MOUTH. Maybe Dragon is trying to expose him.

[@Gogoi-5629]

Maybe Blackbeard's DF element is an undiscovered particle like Foxy's "Noroma Photons", special particles that significantly slow down any object they touch for thirty seconds.

[@moonwulf7561]

I want the last thing we find out in the recap before going back to Egghead is how Imu nuked that island Sabo was near. Since now we know why, we need to know how. Ancient weapon, perhaps??

[@YahikoTendo]

I think when we cut back to Egghead the Straw Hats will be in trouble and the Grand Fleet will arrive in Marineford type action to let them escape and as they're escaping, Vivi will arrive just in time to go with them.

[@wakuseimoe]

Had an interesting thought. What if Imu's ability replicates known fruit powers Imu has come into contact with on other people? Like if he could bestow a fruit on an individual except it shows as a shadow because the power is just the shadow of that ability, thereby making those silhouettes the complete visual.

[@Jtb421]

What if the final battle isn't just one crew versus another crew where its Blackbeard Luffy and Imu as the leaders. If this happened I would imagine Luffy fighting Imu with Blackbeard or Luffy fighting Imu while Zoro and Sanji fighting Blackbeard as I dont see what Luffy could do against Blackbeards fruit. Although I could see Blackbeard wanting to have an actual fight against Luffy and so he doesn't want to use his fruit.

[@VitorCaetanoNH]

I really hope BB is the final enemy, instead of IMU. I was never fond of main bosses that showed up late to the party. Black beard is there ever since Jaya, and has been showing up here and there for the whole thing.

[@inremugiwara6449]

Maybe Queen Lili used Zunisha to disperse the poneglyphs, and that’s why Zunisha was punished.

[@davidpereira978]

[@Touphnya]

Wait, what if Luffy and BB do join up? Unwillingly they team up against Imu. After their crews tag team the literal shadow council that is. The climactic chapter ends with BB glorying his victory over the god of one piece only to get rubber punched through the head by gear 5 Luffy. After being in shock that the alliance was over, cartoon physics Luffy says "what? Did you expect me to give you a break?" 'end of chapter, no break next week'

[@arsii8598]

a repitition of history where garp and roger fought together to defeat rocks but in this time, its blackbeard and luffy to defeat imu

Luffy and BlackBeard could work together against Imu and when they finally win, they fight each other for the last big fight.
