He is not "trying new things". He knows exactly what he is doing, it's us who don't know.

[@brandonstickels5435]

I'm certain that Luffy's dream is to go to the sun. The story has islands underwater, in the sky, or suspended over a pit in the ocean, and Eneru is also on the moon. I don't think it's too crazy to believe that Luffy's ridiculous dream is to live on the bright and cheery sun.

[@SetSailTCGQueen]

Great video. My thoughts on the final chapter? I like it its cool to see a flashback of Gol D. Roger and the 12 characters. And the 12 characters Oda drew? Interesting picks I was not expecting Koby to be in there. I think these characters have the potential to find the one piece and have a major part to play in the final saga. I would love to see Koby fight I know he has bravery but I would love to see if Luffy's speech at the beginning of the story he told to Koby lit a fire in him. Knowing Luffy having the power to change people if probably did.

[@jessehamson5903]

I could see the majority of those 12 figures arriving to get the one piece at the same time. With Luffy ultimately becoming victorious, or Luffy attaining the one piece is what sets in motion the final war, knowing he has it will get everyone en route

[@trin_rex0417]

I think Kuzan is actually working for the revolutionary army. Because most likely Dragon and him were friends at some point because of Dragon being in the Marines, so maybe kuzan join the revolutionary army and Dragon like hey if you give me this information you can do whatever the hell you want.

Not finished yet, but plz make more super long vids like this... love em

[@juusomiettinen5300]

Hello Tekking, I always appreciate your videos, they are good chapter recaps that make me think about the story. :D Heres my take: What strikes me odd is that there are many overlaps between all these contestants for One Piece and weird choises like Kuzan, Sabo and Koby, who don't really feel like interested in finding it, but are still maybe 2nd strongest characters in their "crews", it feels to me like Oda had drawn a picture of Zoro there in the panels. This in mind these 12 could also simply represent tag teams of the ruling forces of the seas. Think: World government (Imu & Figarland), Marines (Sakazuki & Coby), Black Beard Pirates ( BB & Kuzan), Revolutionaries (Dragon & Sabo), Shanks & his simbling or another secret ally, and FINALLY Pirate bros for life Buggy and Luffy! I know the last one is kinda two big ruling forces joining together, but wasn't World Goverment afraid of two Yonkos joining together recently? It hasn't yet happened succesfully.. they would also represent good pirates oposing Black Beard's way of piracy

The One Piece really reminds me of the One Ring from LoTR after this chapter. Everyone can get a hold of the Ring, but not all can bear it.

Do not let that man get the One Piece

[@ravenwing8742]

Something weird I noticed with the paneling, is that you see Kusan and Kobe both highlighted in light and the people that are on the same page are highlighted in dark. That could be foreshadowing that that’s who Juan and Kobe will fight. Just like how dragon and highlighted an emu and the mysterious holy night is dark. It could be that I knew will face the holy nights and dragons will face emu. I think Oda intentionally lightened their faces and darkened the others for more than just mysterious reasons. It might even reflect that they might be the light side versus the dark side of the same organization. Just a thought that occurred @23:57

[@mineapple6726]

In a series that is all about finding the One Piece, it would be interesting to see people and groups we never suspected to be interested in the One Piece (like the revs) to actually go and try to find it. I don’t know if I’m fully convinced myself about this idea, but it would certainly make for a great twist of expectations.

I'm still holding out that Hanafuda is the man marked by flames because of the fact that he was the one that ace defeated and when the fan asked to see his design they just asked to see what he looked like they didn't ask what his condition was currently they didn't ask where he's at in the story currently how he looked after the fight with Ace like that's his design before the fight at like full health so who's to say now that he's recovered he's not got 70% of his body looking like Ryan Reynolds Deadpool

@@darkmond8680 My belief is that he got thrown into impel down for that short stint while he got defeated, when Luffy and Blackbeard went in and did their jailbreaks and essentially just busted the can wide open releasing all the prisoners, that was still pre-time skip so that would have given him enough time to build up some infamy as a "man marked by flames" and still have him be a "new enough" antagonistic Force or the like that it gives us an excuse to have not seen him beforehand

[@GunmarTheBlack]

@@darkmond8680 That could be cool, It would give Blackbeard a chance to flesh out his power holders a little bit better, I wonder if the whole having two devil fruits thing is something he was able to let his crew in on and it has to be like a specific pairing of devil fruits or if that is still just reliant on his dark dark fruit; and yeah but part of that is because Ace was never a protagonist, I think he served as a good reflection point to show that while he has the power and charisma that Luffy has maybe even more so, he's not fit to be a leader the same way that Luffy was because Luffy was taught by these different figures that he's met throughout his journey to learn when to back down when to go full force etc and Ace was probably moreso planned to have been, while a bit of a simplified term, a necessary sacrifice in order to cause Luffy's character to grow because ever since then he has taken every threat seriously, no matter what it has been as long as there has been a threat he has taken it seriously he kind of shirked down that a little bit three time skip but now there's literally nothing that he doesn't snap to if he needs to

So this may be a weird wrong interpretation, but the way I read the chapters dialogue, Sakazuki was the one telling the others to think about the people that'd be put in danger if the marines went after the one piece (Since all the other shots of locations focused on the figurehead of the groups opinions). Which to me says he doesnt care about the One Piece as much as he does the protection of the public from the chaos it would cause if found. Which feels like an interesting direction to go.

[@muhammadfaisal5Y5]

Marines are supposed to protect civilians, not look for treasures. Pirates are most likely to find it. Vegapunk said "people who refuse to buckle under suppression are the ones likely to discover the truth." Then the transmission is lost for a few moments before the message continues. This time, Vegapunk says that Roger sent them there. This suggests that people who are striving for freedom and truth are most likely to reach the One Piece, including Nikas (Luffy and Bonney with the straw hat crew) and those who have faced discrimination and refused to let it defeat them. Vegapunk probably meant to say that Roger sent pirates to the seas in search of the truth/One Piece but he could have also meant the members of the D clan like Teach and Luffy. I am been thinking One Piece is a remnant of the Void Century which can be used for some unknown purpose. Roger pirates were not able to use it so to them, it was just a tale. Either way, finding it will reveal history in its entirety. It may have something to do with voice of all things. Sea kings said they were waiting for someone who would show up 20 years in the future. This was more than 25 years ago. Oden also wanted to open Wano's borders but Momonosuke decided it was not the time yet.

I think the One Piece is "desire," like a crystallized chunk of the metaphysical wants of the world. Using the One Piece will change what people long for. If someone like Blackbeard found it, he will make everyone desire chaos. If Luffy found it, he would destroy it because he'd think it would control them inadvertently.

All the meaningful narrative threads that eventually need to be tied up in One Piece, in no particular order: -The One Piece is found -Luffy becomes pirate king -Shanks and Luffy have their reunion -Zoro has his duel with Mihawk -Enel returns from the moon -Urouge is involved in an upcoming arc -Blackbeard reveals the secrets of how he ate 2 devil fruit -Catarina Devon impersonates Saturn -Pudding either reads the poneglyphs with her awakened third eye tribe powers or uses her memory fruit to gain knowledge of laugh tale another way -the three ancient weapons are seen and used -the giant straw hat's significance is revealed -Imu's connection to Nefertari Lily is revealed -Luffy uses the voice of all things to do something instrumental in the story -The man marked by flames is found -Franky either builds or repairs Pluton, he is the only person in the world with its now destroyed blue prints memorized -Kuzan reveals why he went with Blackbeard -Zoro achieves making at least one of his swords a permanently black blade -what's in Smoker's box -Shirahoshi uses her command of the sea kings for a story event -Doflamingo either escapes Impel Down or influences events from within it -We find out what the ancient treasure in Mariejois Doflamingo knew about is -Dragon does literally fucking anything -the eternal youth surgery is performed -The prince of Elbaf Loki is seen or does something pivotal -the will of D and the void century history is revealed These feel like all of the things which *will* happen before the series' end based on the fact they've been set up and established. But there are also things that haven't been set up narratively as lingering threads which will pay off, which may still happen because they just make sense from a thematic/story perspective: -the seraphim go rogue -Fujitora and Ryogyuku clash again over the future of the marines -Garp dies -Luffy and Vivi have a reunion -Scopper Gaban makes a present day appearance in some capacity -Rayleigh dies -Luffy and Akainu meet again, bringing full circle Akainu's hatred of and attempted murder of Luffy and Luffy's hatred of Akainu for killing Ace -Akainu and or Kuzan come face to face with/interact with Robin -Zoro fights Garling -the ten titanic captains all get fights, potentially each against a straw hat since there's ten and ten Most other stuff however, is too far away to meaningfully predict. Stuff like "is there going to be a schism in the marines caused by Kobe" or "will Akainu rebel against the world government if he learns the truth of the world" etc.

Crazy how many of these characters we’ve been with for 1000+ chapters

[@RevolutionX70]

Correct me if I’m wrong but even though Shanks and Buggy didn’t go to Laughtale, they were there when the pontiglyphs were found. They should both know where the island is. I could see buggy forgetting the location but I think Shanks definitely knows where it’s located.

[@rohankishibe8259]

I always see shanks and Luffy as sinbad and Alibaba. Two seemingly similar characters, kings, one had more experience, way to overpowered, goofy at the start, super serious as he moves forward, become evil, and then there is the rookie, with everything the other has but a better heart

[@mathieuleader8601]

Sakazuki controlling the world with spiked helmets made me think of that alternate timeline where the Warden from Superjail! took over the world by turning into one giant jail.

[@ErisLazri-r9z]

Tekking dude, I saw the chapter, the man marked by flames, has rogers sword. Rogers sword is called Ace which could be related to flames. My theory is that if it is not unknown this could be rayleigh or King. Sorry if Im annoying, i just geek out on this stuff

[@mokaljordan]

I believe Kuzan parallels with the silhouetted dude based on how its framed and the positions the characters are facing(the mid bottom 4 form a cross or x shape of parallelism or anthetical ideals) and the other four are paralleled as the respective corners of each page (sabo and imu and koby and akainu) which could lead to a guess that mr silhouette is a pirate that is an ex marine/ex god knight that has an agenda in regards to the one piece, could be Silver Axe, the rocks pirate as his silhouette gives me Kuzan or Bogard vibes

[@calebglasscock7392]

I know the Straw Hats have to worry about escaping from Egghead right now, but I am anxious to see which of the other three Emperors Luffy will fight next. Kid faced off against Shanks and Law fought Blackbeard in Amazon Lilly so that means the next big fight is Luffy VS Buggy the Clown but there is no telling what could happen in a war against Cross Guild especially with Crocodile and Mihawk in the group.

[@jamesbailey4304]

I just had a crazy thought. Hear me out. Shanks twin theory, but his brother happens to be the same kind of guy he is. Decent, go for a plot twist, neither is the evil twin. They found out about each other after Roger died, somehow got in contact and realized they were both strong as hell. He and Shanks would trade places on the Red Line and Grand Line whenever they could, but they had to stop once Shanks lost his arm.

[@georgecavert6778]

6:06 I don't see 12 faces here, I see 13. My money's on Tekking to find the One Piece! Do not disappoint me, son!

[@Fill_In_The_Blank4All]

While we're left waiting an extra week for the next One Piece chapter, please do a theory video on why the treasure stolen from Fullalead by the World Nobles that instigated the God Valley Incident wasn't the Azure Dragon Fruit or the Paw-Paw Fruit as many suspect, but was instead the Glug-Glug Fruit, as well as all the reasons why and the implications it raises. Preferably in the most Oda manner possible.

[@starbound100]

I love how a certain side of the fandom took exactly one thing from the 12 people final spread, wich was the Mihawk thing. The ammount of "fraudhawk" or "Midhawk" I had to tollerate is reaching critical mass. The dude himself said he was not interested in finding the One Piece, why should he be in the apread of "who's gonna find the one piece?". This is not the "relevant characters", they're the runners for the title.

[@alfredhinton8792]

If buggy ACTUALLY finds the one piece first and becomes pirate king I’m gonna be extremely pissed off. Even though pirate king isn’t actually his dream

[@dexter111344]

Why? Buggy's the GOAT. It's literally on LAUGH Tale. He's a clown. He was Roger's protege. He is definitely worthy and will do the right thing.

[@KoldPhaze]

Buggy becomes pirate king for a whole 10 second before Luffy shoves him out of the way

[@cyanideOwO]

yeah that would be so disappointing

[@in-craig-ible6160]

I hope you had a good time at Tekko!

[@onepiecelegends]

I always thought Tekko is a Tekking101 organized convention.

[@scxiao]

The one thing that bothers me about Shanks having a twin brother who is indeed the man marked by flame, how did Eustass Kid know about him to the point where they were gonna go ask him about the last poneglyph?

[@ObiClon]

To this new development from the most recent chapter in regards to the race to Laftel & the One Piece, the only thing to comes to mind a quote from Sherlock Holmes: "The game is afoot!"

[@kingkelz215]

The silhouette may be: Shanks' sibling, Rocks D. Xebec, Deuce, or some other person we can't yet fathom.

[@mixalislouloudis8896]

Is your shirt a Supernatural reference? I love it❤

[@romram7984]

Funny how tekking was surprised the most by Aokiji being on the end panel, when, for me, that level of surprise was aimed at Koby and Sabo. Like i get their famous in the world for their actions (sabo is the flame emperor and Koby being famous for 1 battle) But when i read the last panel, i actively went "theyre trying to find the one piece as well? Since when?" Most of them made sense, Dragon has a vast info network and, if it really can change the world/help his revolution. Of course, he'd be going after it or have a cuance at finding it. I feel like its more a problem with the fact we only follow Luffy and his crew, and while we see snipits of events outside of the main story, we always go back to them by tue end of it. So, to me, only pirates were trying to find it Also on a side note. Probably because of how he runs away alot, and how past him wanted to be a small time east blue pirate. I could see his wish being that everyone forgets about him so he can stop the charade.

[@Surgebinds]

I was just looking at the panel thinking about it when this hit my notifs. I’m on team #BlackbeardforPirateKing

[@Kass_me]

Man I feel really stupid cuz when everyone was trying to figure out who the shadow man was, I thought it was straight forward that It was Shanks. Then I remember the was literally right above him

[@cyanideOwO]

LOL

[@RaptorFromTheCosmos]

I always thought it was very odd how specifically Oda showed the scene with "Shanks" just waltzing into the Goro Sei room pretty much demanding to speak. How could Shanks Emperor Captain who is known to have been on Gold Roger's crew even walk into the Holy Castle at Marijois logistically in the One Piece world? In the middle of sailing around with his crew did he just say: "BRB guys gonna do secret Captain stuff" and literally just super jump fly to Marijois? Nothing about it makes sense even in One Piece standards aside from it not actually being Shanks.
