Escanor is at a different power level, where Luffy has no match to it. Note that Luffy can't even hurt Warcury, let alone someone who wield the real power of the Sun. Escanor only weakness is that his power is time-limited. Luffy can just running around, wasting his time.

People need to realize something, the Ancient Kingdom has 2 things in particular, actual technology (like the eternal flame) AND “magic” like the Ancient “weapons” as seem with Shirahoshi can is NOT an object but possesses the POWER TO COMMAND ANCIENT GIANT CREATURES. Oda does things in SETS and always follows a particular pattern. He shows us and tells us what something is, but then he just shows and says nothing. He introduced Shiraishi in Fishman Island and told us she’s an ancient “weapon”, in quotations because again, she’s NOT an object and then revealed the other 2 names. The theme was pretty clear. It’s SEA, LAND, SKY. Hundreds of chapters later in Zou we were introduced to Momonosuke with the exact same power as Shirahoshi, the POWER TO COMMAND ANCIENT GIANT CREATURES. That is proof he’s an ancient “weapon” and based on the obvious theme introduced in Fishman Island, he just canNOT be Uranus because that’s the god of the SKY and last I check, elephants are not flying creatures. There’s more to connect as Parvision likes to say, everything connects. In Wano we found out King was waiting for “Joyboy”. We found out Joyboy is Nika. We found out Nika is the SUN “god”. Mentioned in Skypeia SKypeia had 4 “gods”. Skypeia also had a ponelgyph. We know ONLY ALLIES protect the Poneglyphs: Fishman Island, Wano, Shandia, Mokedom Kingdom, Elba (pretty obvious), etc. Due to various lines and such, it’s implied the Ancient Kingdom may have been in the sky or on top of the Red Line, meaning everything on the se below is the .. UNDER WORLD, the world below, that’s Pluton, the god of the “underworld”. The Ancient Kingdom BESTOWS the POWER to COMMAND TO ALLIES only. The way I see, it’s 100% guaranteed that Uranus is a WINGED person who commands ANCIENT GIANT CREATURES, FLYING creatures in particular such as dragons, and we know they exist in-universe. They’re not extinct. They most definitely live in sky islands the same way that sea kings live in the depths of the ocean and Zunesha’s herd (she was banished which implies a big group) live in god knows where in this Jupiter-sized ONE PIECE earth. Vegapunk has attempted to create an ancient weapon with that dragon #13 in Punk Hazard but failed, and that’s because the animals are just part of the ancient “weapon”’s army. That’s why the sea kings are Poseidon, SHIRAHOSHI IS POSEIDON. The same way Zunesha sin’t Pluton, MOMONOSUKE IS PLUTON. Vegapunk just likely cloned a dragon. The egg in Roger’s ship is also most definitely a dragon’s, that’s how everything connects in the world. The 20 kingdoms were jealous because the Ancient Kingdom had tech AND magic so they built their own COUNTER (the battleship) and people who paid attention in Water 7 know this. The biggest proof that the battleship is NOT from the Ancient Kingdom's side are the very blueprints because all the info we know about the ancient "weapons" are written in INDISTRUCTIBLE PONEGLYPHS while the blueptins were written in BURNABLE PAPERS.

[@raymondwalker3020]

That's awesome

[@johnhawkins139]

I have a lot of theories concerning this video’s topics, and one you slightly touched on. I think on the moon the winged races lived in a caste system similar to the Hindu caste system. In the Hindu caste you have the Brahmins who are the priests/intellectuals which I think the Birkans represent. Then you have the Kshatriyas who are the warriors/leaders. The Shandorians were part of this caste and filled the warrior role. I think Oda split this caste into two and like Tekking mentioned I think that the Lunarians were the rulers/leaders. That leaves the Skypieans to fill the Vaishyas role of merchants and traders which we saw evidence of during the Skypiea arc. Now I think there was a group dedicated to the sciences, technology, etc and I can’t decide if this was a separate caste or if Oda expanded on the Vaishyas. If this was all Skypieans or a yet seen winged race. The impact dials make me think it was all Skypieans where they were either merchant/traders or scientists. In Hindu society the castes are pretty strict and don’t intermingle so I don’t think the winged races got along well on the moon but because of space they were kind of forced to live together. When they came to Earth is when they had the room to spread out and separate from each other. I’m not quite sure how the ancient kingdom fits. It could be the ancient Skypieans who were of the scientist caste founded it and they were the inhabitants which is interesting to think of. I don’t think they wanted to share their technology and hoarded it to themselves which is what caused the 20 Earthling kingdoms to revolt. Now in the last chapter Icarus was mentioned and another character closely related is Prometheus. I think JoyBoy filled the role of Prometheus and stole the Mother Flame from the ancient kingdom to give to the Earthlings. This act is what earned him being labeled the first pirate and the crime Zunesha mentions.

[@itsalifarooq]

My head canon is that Lunarians and sky people are same, they were just too advanced in blood line element technology that they modified themselves to give themselves extreme endurance and fire abilities. They formed the ancient kingdom, something like that.

[@eclipseflare3486]

Honestly the world government acts like North Korea. And the ancient civilization is like South Korea. NK actively preventing their people from knowing abt the accomplishments of the world. SK being the fancy civilization they are hiding from their people.(not saying SK is the best but comparatively they’re much better)

[@xAGiiL3UnTiTL3D]

Yes I’m high

[@DrTimes99]

Theory: 1) Winged-moon people develop mother-flame. Using lineage factor technology a group of them incorporate it into themselves becoming the Lunarians, who then descend to rule the blue sea world. 2) One of these white-haired Lunarians disagrees with their rule, believing the peoples should be free. Like Prometheus, he brings the Mother Flame down from the heavens to the people below and the call him Nikka the sun god. 3) The followers of Nikka become the Ancient Kingdom, while the rest of the world remains under the thumb of the Lunarians. But as time passes more groups join the Ancient Kingdom threatening Lunarian rule. So they gather the 20 most powerful kingdoms in their command to fight the Ancient Kingdom and their "Revolutionary Pirate Army" lead by Joy Boy, wielder of the Nikka fruit. 4) Joy Boy convinces the 20 kingdoms to rise up against the Lunarians, which they do, successfully casting them down from the Red Line. However, Imu and the others betray Joy Boy as well, destroying the Ancient Kingdom and its Mother Flame, and forming the World Government.

[@travisgames6608]

Weird thought. What if Sun God Nika was a Prometheus type of person who "stole" a piece of the Mother Flame from the moon? He descended to Earth and shared it with the Ancient Kingdom.

[@UberVilla]

i love this idea!! a slightly different take could also have something to do with the Lunarians, maybe he was a Lunarian, or their leader, and they all descended down to Earth and the red line wayyyyy before the other winged tribes, and took a piece of the mother flame with them, and it was only a longggg time after that that missing piece led to a shortage of resources for moon. or, he was the creator of the mother flame and left with the lunarians and took part of it or all of it with him, or even none of it and the other tribes simply didn’t have the capabilities that he did to either create it again or more of it or fix it if it was getting weaker, when maybe Nika thought they could handle it, or maybe he didn’t think about that, or maybe without Nika being around the mother flame slowly gets weaker and weaker, or goes into a “dormant” state, and now that Nika has reawakened in Luffy maybe something will start to change with the mother flame, maybe that’s what happened with Joy Boy and it led to their demise rather than success,, and maybe something similar will happen with Fishman Island being “burned” down by Luffy! maybe it’s a good thing that was thought to be bad, like the mother flame being brought there, or it does destroy it. another thing could be that Nika was spiritually or scientifically fused with the mother flame, either doing it himself or having it done to him, and maybe he did the same thing to the early Lunarians, or he was their direct ancestor and that’s why they now have black wings and flames

Something to note on the mural, the figure on the right has the antenna of Skypeans, the one in the middle seems to have the tribal wear of Shandorans and the one on the far left has notably different wings.

3:25 "mu" also means "nothingness" or "void" in Japanese, and has meanings in Bhuddism, as a sort of middle ground alternative to positive or negative. Instead of yes or no, good or bad, you have mu; nothing. A void. Could be related to the lable on the tank, especially with the number 108 also having significance in Buddhism.

[@Juliasn68]

I think all the wnged races originate from lunarians on the red line. During a technologically advanced time period there could've been tries at terraforming and colonizing a moon. Otherwise it would seem weird for there to be breathable air there. After a while their wings would be bleached by the sun and their flame put out, either by lack of oxygen or genetic changes. The return to the blue sea could be due to failing the terraformation project (we see very few signs of other lifeforms on the moon). There were probably multiple colonies with no more than nessecary contact between each other, which is why they all look slightly different now and moved to different places when returning. In addition there wouldn't be any dirt (vearth) on the moon, if it's anything like our real one, so why does Enel call it 'infinite vearth'? During the terraformation process they would need dirt to grow plants, thus infinite vearth. There's also the possibility the terraformation succeeded and the goal was to turn it into uranus, the ancient weapon.

[@detaaditya6237]

Thanks for keeping the break week interesting Tekking! Thinking about Red Line & Lunarian, a lot of us believe that Red Line is human-made, possibly built during the Void Century. But it is also said that the Lunarians used to live there. Doesn't that feel contradictive? In order for it to make sense, there are several possibilities: 1. Red Line is natural. It's been there the whole time, but it probably wasn't blocking people from traveling like how it is today. Lunarian lived there until the creation of the World Govt. 2. The Lunarian only started inhabiting the Red Line after the Void Century. However, the WG committed genos on them for the sake of Mary Geoise's security (or they just want to keep the whole landmass for themselves) 3. Lunarian never lived on Red Line. It was a hoax/propaganda to fool the populance in the One Piece world, making them believe that the landmass is the highest habitable area in the world.

[@num10ck19]

I could see it playing out that the Lunarians manipulated the humans into taking out the city of gold, and then the humans realized what power they had working together and turned on the lunarians

What if they are called Lunarians because the planet we know they are sailing is actually the moon of the system? And that's why Roger laughed? We thought Enel was stupid when he called moon "endless Vearth" but turns out it is actually the former Earth? The winged races didn't use balloons to decent on the planet, but to ascend on the habitable moon. Probably have to take better look at that planetary model in Ohara.

I wonder if the Lunarians are actually artificially created humans, just like their recent counterparts. They could've been made in the image of people from the moon, hence the name Lunarians, and additionally all of their abilities are enhanced in comparison to other races.

This chapter confirm the nika fruit is just a rubber fruit. Since joyboy wasnt able to be anything he wants. Just rubber. It just brings the user inagination to life. If luffy goes mock 5 with a slingshot attack the fruit will create goggles in real life to fit the theme of the attack. Thats why he didnt spawn a bat. He had to create one with a tree nearby. He then imagine a baseball hat and paint to fit the theme/gag of the attack.

Atom S108... maybe it refers Element 108. Hassium which is highly Radioactive🤔

(On a hunch, I looked it up in Wikipedia, according to which:) Mu is also the 12th letter of the ancient Greek alphabet, and is derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph for "Water" ... And the Mother flame is in a tank of water (and the World's waters are rising (?? or the land is sinking into the water ??)... so maybe it's a reference to that.

Love the atom flash. R.i.p

Didn't Prometheus get punished for sharing fire with humans? What if its a similar thing here, Lunarians shared fire(the mother flame) with humans(people on earth), and that's why they are now almost extinct. IDK, maybe there's something there.

0:55 i personally have been wanting a Deathbattle! between Gear 5 Luffy vs Plastic Man from DC for almost 2 years now 😂

Infinity is only an idea. Only ideas can be infinite and an idea can’t be had without you.

Mother Flame is the primordial flame we have always seen in all mythologies. Knowing Luffy, he’d probably eat it.

19:30 The Lunarians kind of have to be there before the end of the Void Century for them to be cast out and hunted by the WG since right after that the Holyland was built on top of the former Lunarian land. We were also sure that the Shandorians were friends of Joyboy because they have one of his Poneglyph encased in the base of their Golden Bell at the center of their city and were sworn to protect it until the day someone （Robin） would come and pass-on its message.

[@disasteromega]

The Mother Flame is not necessarily the Lunarian (the greater race from the moon, not limited to just King's race) Flame, because due to Lilith's statement Vegapunk was not yet able to replicate the ancient Eternal Flame, so it would be strange for him to give this flame the name of the Original given what we know of Vegapunk's character, after all he is a guy who would consider Momo's fruit a failure just because the color was wrong.

That calic looked like a devil horn, and I wouldn’t have seen it without the magic fire…

oo i do like the “revolt” idea for the lunarians and other moon tribes!! i was thinking about it but as soon as you said “revolt” it clicked even more! its all really heavily linked with christian mythology!! the whole of Skypiea was too! in Skypiea there was God, the ruler, and the citizens were angels, Enel was giving out divine judgement with his observation haki / mantra being able to listen in to every citizen and his rumble powers letting him send lightning immediately to anyone anywhere. the moon is known as fairy vearth. and the Lunarians have links to fire and have black wings and reside on Earth. perhaps there was a revolt, either led by or against the lunarians by the other tribes, and they were cast out down to Earth as “punishment” like the fallen angel in christianity, who also was linked to fire/light and eventually was depicted with black wings and more fire, or it was in order to escape. or i could even see oda spinning it on its head and they left of their own volition, or like i said the revolt was led against them instead of by them. so maybe the lunarians were on earth wayyyyyyy before the other tribes, and maybe that was actually the first action that led to their downfall on the moon. if the Lunarians were the rulers there, maybe they left of their own volition cuz they saw the impending resource shortage and wanted to spare their citizens from going through that, so they left themselves in order to have less people to take up resources. but then it was only a temporary solution and the other tribes eventually reached that resource shortage even though it was delayed. or, the other tribes revolted against the Lunarians because they thought it was their fault and wanted to get rid of them to free up resources for themselves and or get rid of the leaders who got them there in the first place,, only to reach it themselves anyway and have to come down to earth as well. there’s also ties to Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden, both being on Sky Island and being the fairy vearth, with heaven also being both as well. and potential ties to the Greek Prometheus as well.

This devolved from a Mother Flame talk to an episode of Ancient Aliens

Next step of gear 5th would probably the different colors of 🔥 fires starting with red and this was foreshadowed in the latest anime last month when luffy arrived at egg head and his hair turned red and has his cloud or mist around him
