love the format honestly, would love more in the style. an interview style with Big news as the interviewer would be great

[@Yoseqlo1]

I would love more of this! Though, where do I could potentially send questions?

[@noeljosemacedodeoliveira8253]

i love that wired videos, good inspo that you've had artur! i hope you're good about your health!

[@Mananpicar]

more!

[@SeaSlug09]

I once did a speech about one piece for class and I quoted you artur. And to give you credibility I called you "the highest authority on one piece in the western world" and I stand by that claim!!

[@HeadbutKneecap]

When I woke up, turned on toasted tv and started watching a cartoon about a skinny rubber crqckhead that looks more like a farmers hand than a pirate going around kicking people’s asses by stretching himself, I didn’t think that 15 years later I’d be studying the astrolomy of the world and looking into the lore and history.

[@dhika133]

15:06 Ahh yes, the time when Imu meet Imu

[@hoff9854]

Something that's been on my mind since the beginning of Elbaf has been the sheer size their country has to be. For the island to be big enough to still be a "normal" sized country from the giant's perspective with multiple villages and regions, it has to be immensely bigger than any other island in the One Piece world. The only help is Oda dividing the land into 3 sections with the Treasure Tree Adam.

[@BrunoCaruso-wz7pg]

if you think about how islands in our world can be massive to us but still look very tiny on the maps, then it´s probably the case for Elbaph...it may not be the same size or bigger than any of the 4 main islands of Japan, for example, but it´s still pretty huge

[@shawnwilliams7757]

The world too, ain't no way it's the same size as our

[@odysseusdadon1234]

Artur got the best op videos out there

[@kitsunekage12]

Personally, I think that it's just as likely for the calendar system and rotation of the planet matching up to be an Oda 'whoopsie, didn't consider the implications of that at the time.' thing as Zunesha's original size. I don't know how *much* bigger I think their planet is necessarily but I feel like it has to be because we've explored *so much* and yet still have explored *so little* of the world.

[@aidanklobuchar1798]

The counterpoint would be the group's travels only lasting for 5 months. And nearly half of that was Marineford + Wano.

[@shadowjfd]

I differ with Luffy’s journey starting in February. Luffy’s birthdate is May 5th. Ace and Luffy agreed that they would go to their journeys as soon as they reach 17 years old. Assuming as Luffy left as soon as he reached 17, the February date would not be accurate since he would still be 16 when that happened

[@alexsantebla2480]

Yeah and I doubt he waited 9 months to get started. Unless he wasn’t aware of his own birthday or started early

[@ProbablyNotProbable]

In the One Piece world everyone is considered to go up a year in age at the start of the new year. So, even though his birthday had not happened yet in February, he would indeed be considered 17 years old. Pretty sure I heard this from Artur himself, but it could have been someone else.

[@gemkitten984]

@@ProbablyNotProbable It was probably from Artur. But yes, the people of the One Piece world most likely follow the old Japanese tradition of all birthdays falling on New Years Day. Well it's not actually that old of a tradition since, if my source is reliable, Japan started celebrating individual birthdays only around the 1950s.

[@RobSomeone]

18:35 Artur got his own Sanadacchi level question.

[@AymarMaluenda]

I know this would get me killed, but how does the government justify having a calendar marking year 1524 when the Celestial Dragons "created" the World 800 years ago?

[@jasondice6332]

They didn't "create the world" they created the world gov, so the founders info, why they did it, and who was in charge before are all unknown. But the 100 year gap is just for those 100 years, so if you look back 1000 years there is still history there. Maybe there was a event so important to marking a new era of time. A new dawn of the world, maybe an older iteration of Nika the Sun God. Not joyboy but someone before him.

[@jasondice6332]

P.S. maybe it happens in 8-900 year increments (today 1524, void century 6-700, and the origin of the world calendar (-100 to 0)

[@alkatron768]

[@Awesome-odavidson]

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

[@camwoz5181]

Great video as always! Since the 5 elders have Conquerer's haki, Imu should likely have it too. Hmm... not sure if Doffy's plan to switch places with Imu would have worked since DF can be over powered by haki.

[@gasmaskbhudda]

Artur’s dedication puts him miles beyond any other one piece KZbinr

[@MonkeyDJames]

It was stated that Luffy left on his birthday when he turned 17. So he would have started his journey in May.

[@gwen6622]

idk i really dont like that pre-timeskip is around 3 months, i feel like oda absolutely did not intend that when he was writing it week to week, and its probably somewhat of a mistake. for example, the very emotional fight between luffy and usopp in water 7, where usopp put up a better fight than anyone could have expected because he was close to luffy and knew him... happened only a month and a half after they met? i dont believe that. if it was around 6 months, i could believe that. but i cant believe that it was oda's intent for that scene to happen only a month and a half into the journey. i think he messed up by not adding more time, but there's no going back and retconning it now

[@sfguzmani]

2:37 Yoooo! That's my edit. I'm so delighted.

[@thefvguy5648]

The Koyogo language shouldn’t be canon, because the novel where it’s mentioned isn’t even written or supervised by Oda.

[@sirbughunter9972]

You are such a treasure to the OP community. Really do appreciate your content good sir, may good health continue to show itself to you and improve for you in life!

[@user-a_ce.1238]

Fun fact: Sanji escaped whole cake on March 2nd which is actually his birthday That actually makes raid suit a birthday gift for him

[@Maxran50]

Question for future videos: -Religions in One Piece exists, what exactly we do know about them? At least we know: religion with cross on churches and graves, religion used in Alabasta, religion used in Skypiea and religion that Kuma praised. Is the religion somehow in any power position? Did "Oda forgot" churches and priests or they are just teachers and preachers such as our medieval times? Since the grave of Bellmere that i have this question. Crosses on graves are because christianity, Ussop used a cross to fight ghosts and weedings have crosses too. However those churches are not as important or Oda did not show them as much.

[@mathieuleader8601]

Gecko Moriah in an earlier draft was supposed to be a pastor with a split personality and don't forget Big Mam's foster parent Mother Carmel

[@Maxran50]

@mathieuleader8601 Moriah was a pastor??? New news!

[@Takisan111]

That last set of questions had a very Oda like answer. Glorious.

[@K9_Lenny]

I think i want some clarification on those final few questions sir! Those were the real important questions! 😅🤔🤨

[@laurentbergeronmusic]

9:48 This can't be possible. Luffy said he would set sail when he turned 17. His birthday is May 5th. You expect me to believe that the most impulsive man alive waited 9 months before finally setting sail?

[@michaelschneider5682]

ThankYOU ARTUR i love your content especially icebergs lol

[@rileypugh6412]

One Piece’s planet being our Earth in the distant future seems more likely when you consider the entire planet is flooded

[@AlexT7916]

Aren't thest the questions from your Q&A collab with Tekkin

[@Rakoru]

[@buffalowofficial9181]

Hoshi is just broad term, Star (like our Sun) in Japanese is Kusei (Fixed Star) while Planet is Wakusei

[@andressevilla6982]

2:00 I have always felt that Oda is that messy with the sizes because he is telling the story like a pirate would do

[@ZinedinColic]

[@aandrei1693]

is sanji the official user of the goon-goon fruit?

[@BenScrannage]

One thing is for certain, in terms of scale, it is one of the absolute largest, and most massive planets in all of fiction. For the smaller sized islands to still be the size of a country, and there to be miles upon miles of open sea between them to the point where it is still considered +80% water is insane to think of.

[@McDenis]

saving the best questions for the ending, classic!

[@Fushgy]

I'm a Logia devil fruit user, I ate the Sperm-Sperm-Fruit. I'm capable of turning my whole body into sperm.

[@n8owen306]

Could "marine headquarters" mean that that's where they were trained? We saw koby and co. getting trained by garp at HQ, but I have to believe it'd be too much trouble to bring every new recruit from every blue all the way to marineford to train

The planets name is earth. Roger litterly says that during the execution , "dreams, destiny, so long as people who seek freedom "in this world, these things shall not vanish from the earth

[@user-a_ce.1238]

This line is translated way too many times and most of them don't have Earth in it

[@comfordorthewizard8008]

If it’s the year 1524, I wonder how closely that relates to our world, as the gregorian calandar system zero point reference is when the jesus dies… Maybe that could suggest that OG Nika was alive 1524 years ago

[@AnimeCulture11]

BRO COOKED WITH THIS VIDEO

I will add one additional question. Is it possible to read road poneglyphs by voice of things from copies? If it isn't possible then only Straw Hats thanks to Robin can read them and reach Laught Tale.

[@TheSpencermacdougall]

Honestly as far as I'm concerned, the world's name is either "all blue" (which kind of matches up with blue star) or Onepiece.

[@sirfiremanbob2019]

Hold on, that timeline doesn't line up since the time between the crew's separation and meeting again on Sabody would have been exactly 2 years, 3D2Y.

[@grapes9h5]

[@onepiecelegends]

The one piece world was called earth but far in the future a big world turned it to what it is now and slowely the world lost it's technology.

how did luffys journey begin in february if he set sail the day her turned 17 which would be may 5th?

[@daksman]

I thought Oda had answered the question about the planet size in one of the question answer releases? I maybe misremembering.

[@BananaR777]

I tell you what it isn't, earth. I theorise that humans moved that planet with advanced advanced technology 1000's of blue star years ago, and other species like fishmen and others joining the population.

[@unclephillymya]

ARTHUR IS THE GOAT 🐐 OF ONE PIECE WORLD

[@goldmemberpb]

I absolutely do not like that SH only spent like 5 months together as a crew. It is just a massive disparity with IRL time and stretches that sense of disbelief on how royal everyone is to Luffy. Like Brook was probably with them for maybe a week before he got separated. The whole journey should have been a decade long voyage. 5 years of pretimeskip and 5 years of post timeskip. It should take them all a decently long time but not as long as Roger. 5 months is just way way too small of a timeframe.

[@dereklucks4549]

I think one year would have at least sufficed for the pre timeskip and around one to two years for the post time skip maybe to make it believable that the strawhats had bonds like that.
