[@paulomontenegro6886]

@okk2005 i guess not for most, but it is biblical for me as it is present in the ethiopian orthodox bible, and as i am a non-denominational christian, its just more of a somewhat contextualization to the preflood world

I think it’s possible that the swords had no wielder but were instead symbolic of these entire nations united in putting down arms and choosing to be at piece together with the ancient kingdom. Unlike the rinky dink little swords at the empty throne which was just the kings making decisions for everyone. Wonder if there was any large arms of any kind in fishman island and alabasta they could be lost in the sand/ocean as well as the winged races could just be out there in the vast sky or it’s what balloon terminal is holding up or something not sure just some ideas.

[@Ojas97]

Or joyboy used it and streched it big, we saw how big bajrang gun was, luffy can probably strech limitlessly in gear 5 and awakened fruits can alter the shape of objects, maybe joboy used it to fight against someone or maybe he was trying to cut down the adam tree and was stopped

[@precilianocruz3881]

The tree has an ancient giantbody encased in it, attack on titan wall-like, 😳 his sword still by his side showing his sacrifice for Elbaf.

[@k1cubeyt671]

Fan Theory: 1. Man Marked by Flames: Dr. Clover survived the Buster Call, gaining flame scars, and now secretly aids the resistance. 2. Fake Sun and Uranus: The sun in One Piece is fake, controlled by the World Government via Uranus and the "Mother Flame." The real "One Piece" is the true sun, imprisoned by Joy Boy after being tricked by Imu. Joy Boy's actions led to discrimination against Lunarians, Fishmen, and others who helped him. 3. Hanuman Parallels: Luffy mirrors Hanuman, who tried to eat the sun. Luffy’s Bajrang Gun and fiery Gear 5 hint at him destroying Mary Geoise, like Hanuman burning Lanka. Dragon parallels Vayu (Hanuman's godfather), while Kuma is akin to Jambavan, who helps Luffy realize his true power. 4. Imu and the 20 Kings: Imu, like Indra, used deception and the Five Elders to defeat Joy Boy, paralleling Hanuman’s clash with Indra. 5. Planet and Dyson Sphere: The One Piece world could be a Dyson Sphere, explaining its size and the artificial sun. Joy Boy and the ancient kingdom created it, with Gear 5 unlocking its power. 6. Imu’s Power: Imu might have a "Math Math Fruit," countering Luffy's chaotic, cartoonish abilities. Luffy’s ultimate goal may be to restore the real sun, evaporating excess water to reveal lost continents, symbolizing freedom and balance.

.... Bigger planet.... The stronger the gravity.... If I remember my science right

[@Gool-dy5ed]

To estimate the gravity of the One Piece planet, we can use the formula for surface gravity: g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} Where: = Surface gravity = Gravitational constant () = Mass of the planet = Radius of the planet Assumptions: 1. Mass of the Planet: If the One Piece planet is similar to Neptune or Uranus in size (4x Earth's radius), its mass is likely much larger than Earth's due to increased volume and potentially denser materials. For simplicity, let’s estimate the mass to be 4-10x Earth's mass. 2. Radius: Assuming the planet has a radius 2-4x Earth’s radius (). --- Calculation: Let’s consider two scenarios for comparison: Case 1: Radius = 2x Earth, Mass = 4x Earth g = \frac{6.674 \times 10^{-11} \cdot (4 \cdot 5.972 \times 10^{24})}{(12,742,000)^2} Case 2: Radius = 4x Earth, Mass = 10x Earth g = \frac{6.674 \times 10^{-11} \cdot (10 \cdot 5.972 \times 10^{24})}{(25,484,000)^2} I’ll calculate these values for more precise gravity estimates. Results: 1. Case 1 (Radius = 2x Earth, Mass = 4x Earth): Gravity = 9.82 m/s² (similar to Earth's gravity). 2. Case 2 (Radius = 4x Earth, Mass = 10x Earth): Gravity = 6.14 m/s² (slightly weaker than Earth's gravity). --- Conclusion: Depending on the exact size and mass of the One Piece planet, its gravity might range from being similar to Earth’s gravity (9.8 m/s²) to being slightly weaker. This aligns with the characters' ability to perform superhuman feats while maintaining the appearance of realistic physics on most islands.

I think you’re taking the ‘Content Puller’ too literally, I’m pretty sure it’s just an epithet like how Whitebeard was ‘The World’s Strongest Man’, or how Kido was ‘King of Beasts’. Just a title people gave them because they were just incredibly strong badasses.

[@seafreak2237]

Um… I mean, I know Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is not a literal rock or have rock-like properties, but if he was called Dwayne “the guy who can definitely beat me up”, I’d believe it, & “Continent Puller” seems kinda up there. Kaido had, like, a bunch of ancient Zoan users before he got his hands on a billion Smile Fruits. Whitebeard was the strongest man. He didn’t think of himself as a beast, a demon, a force of nature, or things like what some of the other pirates style themselves as. He was a good man, and he was the strongest of the good men still alive when the world was flush with “bad men”. I don’t think you’re taking the literal meaning of his name into proper account imo.

Also makes the entire story/manga/anime part of what the One Piece is, which seems so 4th wall breaking and poetic and self-aware that it might just be crazy enough for Oda-san. Anywho taking my tin-foil hat off now.

[@MagicMayers]

That's an interesting concept! I hadn't even thought what an awakened version of that fruit could achieve. That's fun to think about. I've been speculating something similar. The original Nka wasn't real but part of a wacky manga/comic. Devil fruit's were constructed through the Great Kingdom's tech and they were able to incorporate anything that can be dreamed up. Someone wanted a Nika fruit because they were a fan of the fictional cartoon character and voila. Hito hito no mi: model Nika. The one piece includes an original of the Nika comic, hence the laugh tale.

[@thewillofdreams6921]

I think the ancient giants were the primordial titans and were either killed and torn apart like Ymir, the first frost giant, whose body was used to make the world. I think their bodies or bones were buried and burned by magma/volcanoes and shot up into the air in ash making pyrobloin/clouds/fossilized clouds/sea stone/ maybe land n people, which is keratin, or the material from nails/hair/skin/horns. The bodies of the ancient giants in its smallest form make up the entire one piece world like aether/prima materia. The other idea i had was if oda takes the myth of Dionysus/Bacchus/Pater Liber/Sabazios/Zagreus, a God seen as a prime god in some variations the son of Zeus/Hades/Persephone/Demeter and a god who dies in one form and is resurrected in another. Originally Dionysus is born with horns/a beard and can transform into different animals, then Hera sends the titans to kill him, which he keeps transforming and defeating, until Hera shows up and shouts at him, killing him like COC haki. Zeus uses lightning to kill the titans, whose ashes (pyrobloin reference above)turn into the 1st humans, and Dionysus is resurrected into a younger non beard/horned human. Their are 3 variations, which reminds me of Nika/Joyboy/Luffy resurrections. Also the whole god of wine/binks sake makes sense too, luffy constantly partying, getting drugged like mescal cactus in Alabasta, and gear 5 luffy both being the most free, influencing others to join him in his freedom/craziness, and gear 5 causing luffy to lose control insanity. Luffy n Dionysus have the same favorite food raw meat from a freshly killed animal?

[@CDTC666]

Just a random thought. What if Imu is the umibozu who, like Chopper also ate the human human fruit? However we don't know their specific types. Maybe, just maybe, Chopper wll get an upgrade based on the DF and Imu may be just the most regular human human fruit. It would be hilarious, because you would turn the idea of fight of human against a god on itself, because while Imu is a "god" with "human" power, Luffy would be the exact opposite. Damn, I feel that these polar opposites are what Vegapunk was describing. Concernig Imu, I don't know why, but I still keep imagining this person to be like the Mr. Bean drawn portrait of Whistler's mother...And the hybrid form (if what we saw is that) would be a perfect joke on Oda's part on us. I only have another nitpick, it is not a two-hander, it is 1,5-hander based on the image/drawing itself, because the handle is just too short. If you wanted to use it as a two-hander, you would loose too much of the grip to properly leverage. if you treat as 1,5 hander or "universal" you can be quick and add the extra leverage when needed. Or just a quick cut when the blade connection is broken. But that does not happen in the actual swordfighting, more like in cinema/theatre.

Mister Ohara i have A THEORY about the one and only ONE PIEEEECE!!! so my theory is that if vegapunks theory is correct ( fruits get made from peoples imagination ) then to me in the 100 year void that i dont know too much of the world was a mess , there were mountins blocking everywhere everything like the red line but bigger. there were no islands and just giant masses of rocks and a few civilisations. so (not sure i dont remember this part clearly) joyboy at that time wanted to change the world so through his big belief and imagination, and the wish to make the world a better place, he *created* the planet planet fruit (japanese - Wakusei Wakusei nomi *the fruit only works on the one piece planet tho, it lets the user control the terrain of the planet like the island fruit but a planet*) with it he cleared out the rocks and made islands. But the corrupt goverment defeated joyboy somehow and stole his devil fruit. they like that created the red line and seperated the world from remembering their past and getting courage to make revolutions.after that when its a few decades before the current timeline roger gains the fruit by rocks d xebec who stole it from the marines and thats how the battle between them started (this is a high guess but if rocks is rogers father then that whould make much sence) and so that explains the big egg on rogers ship. thats where he kept the Wakusei Wakusei nomi. when roger gave himself in to the marines, he did that on purpose so that someone more ready and thirsting for change whould find the one piece and what will he find? the planet devil fruit. he will then ground the red line and the goverment will be crushed from countries all around the world. Of course maybe it wont be luffy because he already has a devil fruit. but if we find out about blackbeards secret and maaaaybe luffy steals his ideas he will eat it, change the world and complete his dream. BE FREE!!! now this theory i dont know if youll see this but if you do-know that im not like 100% in all of the past lore about one piece and i dont know many of the details so it might not be possible. but at the end of the day its just a theory aaaaaaaand cut!

[@flumbofrommelkont6863]

I've actually been thinking recently, more and more as Oda reveals stuff. That the world of One Piece may not actually be as big as we've thought. It just looks so big because the people living on it are way smaller than we are. Or have become smaller than we are. And that giants and ancient giants just represent surviving populations of how large things used to be. We also know that body sizes can wildly fluctuate between individuals, way more than is normal for us here on earth. And one would think that's just silly cartoon logic used for comedic effect and dramatic page spreads. But what if those exceptionally large humans have just inherited rare recessive genes that have survived through the ages? And so are able to grow closer to the size people used to be? The idea that Oda may have heard about island dwarfism, and in his story where the world has flooded had surviving populations seek safety on the few bits of land sparsely spread out on an ocean that's larger than ever, and subsequently shrunk from the lower availability of resources isn't entirely out of the question. Especially since Oda likes to pull from many varied sources for his world. We have evidence of gigantic structures and objects where you just have to ask yourself how that could have ever been built. And because the world of One Piece can be so wacky and zany you're lulled into a false sense of security and don't think about it much, writing it off as silly cartoon logic. But Oda also has a knack for bringing things around way, WAY later, and giving new context to old events and locations that paint them in an entirely new light. And then you think of the evidence of colossal beings of a mind boggling scale scattered around the world, kilometers long seakings, an elephant that treads the ocean, skulls the size of mountains and islands, gigantic shadowy shapes moving in the mist. And you kind of realize that those kinds of beings could have built and made stuff of that scale. Especially if beings of that size used to be more common, until the world flooded. Also think back on the various biblical references Oda likes to put in. And then realize that ancient humans before the great flood used to be larger, and longer lived. That angels used to come down from heaven to help mankind. And that there were Nephilim, a race of giants born from those fallen angels and humans. The world government has been looking into gigantification for a long while already before the Seraphim program. Obviously this is nothing more than a crackpot theory and jumbled half-cohesive ideas, but it's food for thought.

[@MagicMayers]

That's an interesting idea, but we're given the exact heights of things and people in feet/meters so it kinda falls flat. Also, the offspring in the Nephilim story are gibborim, not Nephilim. Actually, it's not even clear if the Nephilim were the progenitors or if they're mentioned as a reference to a specific time i.e. in the days of the Nephilim, this thing happened.
