I really like this idea that Roger doesn`t have a devil fruit, because he was saving himself for Nika Nika no Mi, but it evaded him as he was not the one meant to have it. It would also explain why Shanks supported Luffy so much, as the fruit chose him.

[@reves3333]

shanks is the devil fruit roger just couldn't eat a baby.

[@Victoria_Viray]

I love the way Oda recontextualize Kuma's character and powers. More than 15 years ago Kuma was introduced as an unfeeling cyborg Warlord, that devastated Luffy, his crew and us readers with his overwhelming devil fruit abilities. But now seeing Kuma's tragic past and his sweet and caring demeanor amidst the literal hell he's experiencing is truly heart breaking. Add to that how and why he got his fruit. The same powers that tortured and almost killed Zoro, split everyone in the crew up, destroyed Thriller Bark and took down Little Oars Jr. with little to no effort, saved hundreds of slaves and relieved people of their pain. What an amazing character development and writing.

One of my favorite things in this chapter is the fact Streusen is in there and hardly anyone noticed just due to the Allstate lineup of the rest of the Rocks Crew (he’s to the bottom left of Whitebeard, barely in that panel lol). Another thing I love is Bonney’s crew is given just the tiniest bit of depth due to this. Sure it’s just inferred but that’s what I love about this series. It’s gone on for so long that at any point even unnamed characters can have inferred depth or motivations.

Hey Liam, the rock’s pirate, we see at 4:43 in your video is actually a character we already saw in the story at thriller bark, he was one of the zombie generals who had a bottom half of an elephant (if i remember well) and had the exact same helmet as the one we are seeing in this small panel (which hyped me up because when we saw his zombie form in thriller bark he was the most imposing zombie general in thriller bark). I had a feeling that this guy was a rocks pirate before because we see many pirates who were/ could’ve been in the rocks pirate (i.e captain john, silver axe who may be the zombie wielding the giant axe). So we can conclude that this guy (at 4:43) isn’t ochouku/Wang zi because Blackbeard took control of hachinosu one or two years after the events which happened on thriller bark where we saw the corpse of this still unnamed member of the rocks pirate.

I will be honest, seeing young Garp and young Rodger brought up old reminded me of the theories about those two being brothers. I know it is unlikely but they both look surprisingly similar in this chapter.

[@alihamadqabazard2857]

The moment of Happiness between Kuma and Ginny is basically there heavenly commercial break, but by next week’s chapter we will be going back to our…regularly scheduled program.

Saturn and Kuma's meeting on God Valley feels very foreshadowing for what's happening on Egghead.

Shout out to the artist and team for doing all of that in such a short period

[@pstove9652]

You should’ve talked about Kuma being called “The Hand of Liberation”. Makes me feel like it’s possible Kuma and Luffy’s fruits are “friends” for lack of better terms. Also makes it sound like maybe there’s multiple mythic zoans that the WG erased from the records and Kuma’s fruit is one of them alongside Luffy’s because they were seen as compatible or the will of the fruits were likely to work together regardless of who got the fruits.

Chapter full with rollercoasters, yet it manages to conclude in such a peaceful manner.

[@ShaggyDabbyDank]

When they mentioned in the chapter 'that' being taken from Hachinosu, my immediate thought was of the Nika fruit. If the Nika fruit had been safeguarded on Pirate Island and the Marines suddenly snatched it up, the island and it's leadership would certainly be upset.

[@OPCWSF]

I now believe that instead of rocks being revealed to be an evil genius mastermind, he is instead going to be a buggy type character. A character who has stumbled into success or notoriety for a reason not known yet. Although things could change with the official translation, whitebeard calls rocks and idiot and a moron. Stussy in response, says too whitebeard “not you too.” This would be an ultimate bait and switch from Oda, and he’s already laid the foundation for it with Cross Guild, who are just that. The heavy hitters on the rocks pirates are all benefiting from rocks’ knowledge or notoriety, and that’s why they’re staying. In chapter 957, a marine said it’s hard to imagine one man leading 3 of the four emperors as we know them today, which is why I think it would be such a classic oda moment for rocks to be a goofball character.

[@JustinVillemure]

Could be... I think Rocks is in truth, Luffy's grandfather = the father to Dragon... Dragon is Monkey in name alone, because the love between him and Luffy's mom... There's a reason Oda hasn't revealed Rocks' appearance yet.

[@acandela1294]

Amazing how kuma started as a tyrant villain in our eyes and over time we've slowly liked him more and more until he's legit one of the most heroic, noble and loving people in the entire series.

[@timothycarney9652]

It makes me think that "Tyrant" title is because either the WG tries to paint him as a villain that took over the sorbet kingdom, or he willingly takes on that role to make sure the kingdom doesn't get punished for his actions.

[@acandela1294]

@@timothycarney9652 I've heard that first theory but I really like the second theory. Lines up with his religious nature too that he would sacrifice his reputation for others

Liam, i truly love your videos, while i started reading the one piece manga from my local library when i was 9, now i am 17 and still read the mangas that are released and the chapters weekly. this weeks chapter was insane!! your content adds to the life oda-sama already gives to one piece. however, i don’t appreciate how much you shit on ace because when i was reading the mangas i was heartbroken when ace died (i was 10) and ace until recently was one of my favorite characters(besides zoro of course).

[@skeletonhorse_person]

ivankov is so amazing in this chapter , his unbreakable will and even his plan to go for the devil fruits , and him being ready to sacrifice himself so koma and the rest can survive, when he faced death (with his massive face) he still held to a pure goal.

[@Peksisarvinen]

That was a great chapter. One of the best. A lot of emotional highs and lows and tons of questions presented, but also some that were answered. The two panels of Kuma chopping up the firewood and carrying it to the town to sell choked me up a little bit. Such an innocent and unassuming scene that it's just beautiful.

I dont think they arrived for a specific devil fruit. Lets not forget that devil fruits in general are still rare,mystical and powerful. And we have (potentially) 6 of them in the same place! Regardless if they are trash tier fruits, they are still rare.

Kuma is gonna end Saturn soon. What if the next murder festival is gonna be at Elbaf, since the Island has all the knowledge of Ohara. It would make sense for Oda to finally reveal what happened in God Valley during Elbaf.

Excited to see the events that lead Kuma and Ivankov to get the fruits so easily. I feel like even with all the chaos going on, or even BECAUSE of the chaos going on, a top marine, or gods knight would have been ordered to guard the chests. It's not a big event, but i just wanna see how that person got lured away. Someone from rocks or rogers crew inadvertently changed the course of history from it

[@damor8956]

In my Assumption when Big Mom was shouting in the past asking where kaido was(Kaido BigMom Flashback in Hachinosu). She wasnt going to ask why he didnt help at Godvalley/Where he was at the Godvalley Incident. Instead that he just stole the fruit that big mom captured from the island and dipped away. Which made her obviously mad because she stated earlier "Finders Keepers".

[@timothycarney9652]

She says he owes her for it, so it could mean that he stole it, but since we do see her treating him as a little brother like figure it could just be something like that, and she regularly goes and bothers him. It would fit with their team up in wano- their initial clash is because of sibling like rough housing but scaled up to their power level, but then they make up and ally to each other because they do genuinely care about each other... thats a sweet interpretation but it makes the fact that they ended up as brutal dictators that needed to be overthrown pretty sad.

[@reves3333]

Its possible big mom saved Kuma from Saturn because big mom's dose have her all race dream thing and she may overheared that Kuma is a special race so she cant have him dead, as she fights Saturn Kaido join up and ate the fruit some how.

[@timothycarney9652]

@@reves3333 Frankly I was surpised when Big Mom hit Ivanov, as we see with the Tama Linlin has a soft spot for young enough kids. Maybe she hadn't developed that motherly side yet, or maybe she didn't recognize Ivanov as a kid, or at least one young enough to trigger her that way. The whole time she was O-lin made me sad because she could have been a tremendous force for good if she was raised right, instead she maintained the worst of her childish behaviors, a childish selfishness and ignorance of other's conditions, twisted by age and experience.

[@reves3333]

@@timothycarney9652 she only had like 30kids at that time and they are all like babies so she probably didnt have the motherly instincts yet ,she didnt flat out kill ivankov tho so that is a good start and its abit hard to see ivankov as a kid like the size and the size of the head. it would be pretty cool if we get some kind of "redemption" or at least consistency type of thing with her ideals? cause the thing Kuma just said dose have some alignment with her own ideals even if her version is like really warped like 80% of big mom is basicly "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" there is also this thing that big mom might understand kuma because she is born diffrent too but trying to not see herself as born special? there is also a religious theme that shares with these 2 characters the whole nun orphanage miracle thing with big mom and kuma with whole bibble and church prayer thing, plus Saturn is like the literal devil here it would be fiting if big mom just cant stand Saturn and fights him because of her ideals
