The fact that these videos are on Spotify and I can listen to them on the train to work in the morning after watching them the night before is so appreciated
Buggys looking a lot like rocks nowadays. He's gathering really strong "crewmates" that each have their own agenda and will turn on each other to accomplish them. He's also luffy's oldest pirate enemy, since alvida works for buggy. Now he's even luffy's biggest rival for pirate king among the fanbase. Blackbeard got the strength, but Buggy has it all.
Anyone else remember when Shanks says "Time to get the One Piece". I thought he was just gonna start heading to the last Island, not that he was now joining the race to it
With buggy's trajectory, I am pretty much convinced whoever finds the one piece, the world will know Buggy as the pirate king atleast for a short while
Bear with me here: in Stampede, Buggy found and claimed the treasure first and the Strawhats took it (before Bullet appeared). They said multiple times that claiming it was as good as claiming one piece. I'm just saying maybe this was foreshadowing Buggy getting to the one piece first
I keep seeing the "Buggy getting the one piece first" meme so often and frankly....idk I hope more and more that it doesn't happen. I think I'd let out an audible groan If I saw it in a panel
If Koby and Luffy team up like Roger and Garp, I think it would make more sense for them to fight Blackbeard since he’s a closer parallel to Rocks than Imu is.
The fandom really took a nosedive every since the Nika bandwagon during Wano. I remember when you could discuss things in a civile manner, before the tiktok reel watchers started to bring terms like "fraud" or "agenda" in.
Insane that if any fan were to ever leak who finds the One Piece from Oda’s notes before Oda does himself or when the story is close to that, that fan would be hated so incredibly by the fanbase WORLD WIDE
Eh, I feel like I'd just treat it like everything else I find out. Say "huh? Is that right?" And go on with my day. I get some would be mad, but frankly I feel like no one would be able to trust their word since, I feel like anyone could claim they know what it is Like, yeah, it's a story that's been going on for over 20 years by this point. But idk, I don't see the point of getting angry over it.
Let the game begin. “Of course Luffy will find the One Piece”, or will he??? I don’t exclude the scenario Luffy might sacrifice his dream for the sake of saving one, two or even the whole crew from death
@davegraham716 I think that's the joke. Frankly, I think it'd be funny to see that scene. Him learning you need friendship to use the one piece/get to it. And he burned all his bridges with his friends so he can't get there/use it
My friend had an interesting idea on what Shanks would do- play keep away. He would find the One Piece so no one else can find it or use it, that this power is too much for one man.
You made it look like Kuzan doesn't have a clue about who he is or what he wants. I think Oda made it perfectly clear through Doflamingo's speech that that's not the case: there is a difference in the look of the ordinary vagabond and that of a determined man. He is not "trying new things". He knows exactly what he is doing, it's us who don't know.
Tekking what are you talking about with kuzan?? Like he told smoker, he's still himself, I'm pretty sure he has his own plan/agenda at this point in the story and why he's joined blackbeard.
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.
@@darkmond8680 That and the fact that Shanks would've went from the Red line to Wano, in a few days, is actually wild to think about. Unless Shanks can just fly for however long he wants too.
@@darkmond8680 I could see that being the case, but I have a feeling Shanks might have a crew with very few or no devil fruits. I could be entirely wrong though, as this is just my opinion.
@@darkmond8680 also not showing the missing arm and the gorosei not using no name nor akagami and a strange comment about his position and politics all Just seems off.
When you jokingly talked about Pizarro bringing together a bunch of islands together to make an island island supercontinent made me think. What if that is Blackbeards plan? What if he already knew the world was sinking... We know he is looking for specific fruits. He has the quake quake fruit that can break land masses apart. He has a captain that take over islands
Shanks was there on the crew when they plotted the course to luaghtale yeah he was a kid but I don't believe he would forget something that important I really believe he knows exactly where laughtale is
I think it's the man marked by flames, if for no other reason than we need to meet him soon and he's the most important mystery person we know who has ties to the One Piece (in this case, in that he has a road ponegliff)
I think we're forgetting that Shanks and Buggy were there when they deciphered the poneglyphs and found the location of the one piece. When Roger came out of some room after coughing his lungs up, they were there.
The silhouette is 1000% the man marked by flames They’re the only piece missing that relates to the final road ponoglyph(or being able to read ponoglyphs) which is RELEVANT to what Vegapunk is talking about, which is finding the One Piece
i think the double page spread is also a mirror to show us the pairings in the future and getting the one piece. everyone lines up and has a history together with the odd ball pairing being dragon and kuzan.
If you look at the 12 characters on the double page each person is a contributor to the overall story and without one the whole story looks different i don’t know how the 2 new characters but they Vidal to the story somehow
I don't know koby And sabo Haven't really been too important yet I feel like you could remove those two and this story loses nothing In fact what happens if you remove dragon from the story You don't really lose any important story beats and who's been extremely unactive in the story to the point where people Make fun of his character being out for so long that his characters basically worthless he saved the main character early on but it was such a unimportant event that that just you could have just removed it all together
@@yami122 Dragon and Sabo respectively saved Luffy. So lets end One Piece at Logue Town... Generally the revolutionary army is a major force/part of the story and will be important for and after the fall of the world governent. It is annyoing, but Dragon especially is saved for the endgame imo. Koby is the future of the "good" marines. It shows the growth of a characted from the first arc, paraleling Luffy.
@@Ophiouchos95 since the scenes of them saving him exist purely to introduce those characters you would just get rid of the scene. And if you cut out all of their scenes nothing really changes in the story. And the problem does remain that dragon Has spent way too long in the story just kind of standing there He had his one moment really early on and then we're supposed to be hyped for him to do something else but he hasn't in blood 900 chapters or more. The characters more of a joke now than an actual hype machine
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
He was killed wasn't he either that or after ace Defeated him the marines put him in level 6 impel down then was rescued by blackbeard and is now somewhere on pirate island of blackbeard
@@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 I don't belive he has that much of a big role as the man marked by flames When luffy defeats someone two things can happen the person Defeated loses his dream or the person Defeated comes back stronger With ace we don't really see that We know that hanafuda was a df collector a zoan collector specifically It's also implied that he might have been working with kaido providing him natural and rare zoans while doffy was handling the finances for cesar and the smile project Hanafuda could have been one of kaidos calamities Kaido Then the three calamities Jack Queen and King And maybe hanafuda was working under one of them possibly king And now might have joined blackbeard since both collect devil fruits Hanafuda focuses on zoans while blackbeard focuses on logia/paramecia
@@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
@@GunmarTheBlack I wouldn't be surprised if we see him working under one of blackbeards 10 titanic captains as a vice captain But I don't know which would fit for him 1 van auger warp fruit paramecia 2 jesus burgess strong fruit paramecia 3 caterina Devon kitsune fruit zoan 4 kuzan ice fruit logia 5 avalo pizzaro island fruit paramecia 6 doc q sick fruit paramecia 7 vasco shot drink fruit paramecia 8 shiryu invisible fruit paramecia 9 sanjaun wolf big fruit paramecia 10 lafitee df not shown
@HulkaFPS Ah right, people were speculating when we saw a silhouette with Saul wrapped in bandages it could be him. I misconstrued that, thanks for clearing that up!
Im looking at that last panel different. 4 emperors, then pairs of 8 others. Koby+Sabo are unlikely Allies, Sakazuki and Imu are Unlikely enemies. Dragon said Gods Knights would come which should be the mystery person, and Kuzan should run into Garling when Blackbeard makes some move
After like 15 years of loving one piece and countless theory videos and Im STILL not anywhere closer to knowing what the hell those things in the florian triangle are/purpose... I refuse to believe its just a fun easter egg oda wrote in and will never come back to...
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
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.
I feel like the one piece is something (probably information) that can only be accessed by “joyboy”…so Luffy. Like yes Roger found the one piece, but he wasn’t joyboy. Therefor he didn’t “do anything” with the one piece…or hell it’s just the friends we made along the way 😆
Eh, that'd be discounting Blackbeard, who we don't know if he got Law's poneglyph etchings and he probably got Big mom's one. I feel like If Buggy, the man who probably doesn't have a single etching and never saw the island is in the running. It'd he crazy to count the big bad of the series out. (And yeah tekking says "buggy and shanks should know a general area" but frankly the island could he gone due to the water rising, or they just didn't pay attention.) (I feel like, atleast for me. If someone asked me how to get to a place i haven't gone back to in 20 years, I wouldn't be able to remember at all, but that's just me)
It was funny the story you made about Blackbear , a giant island above everyone in a world without rules Celestial dragons and Red Line are that already :)
Ironically, koby was created by the world government. His version of the marines is the version in their propaganda, the actually moral and good heroes of justice like in the comics.
The shaddowy person is aviously Higuma making his big return, as a representation of the mountain bandits, one of the faction not represented elsewhere (with bounty hunters I guess).
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
Heres something to consider (im at the 10 min mark) shanks will NOT go to laughtale without buggy. They made a promise they would see it together so if buggy cant make it i dont think shanks will go deep down they are still friends.
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?
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. But it's a treasure that makes me people want it, rather than something people want, if that makes sense
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Gandalf talks about how he would take the Ring with pure intent but the power would slowly corrupt him, until his ideals become oppressive in their enactment. Blackbeard is definitely Sauron. Do not let that man get the One Piece
I dk why every op youtuber doesn't think of it, nobody said it but, at least for me Kuzan on the last panel is 90% confirmed to be the leader of sword + exept for koby the last panel is devided by who is a conqueror (right side) vs strong contenders for the op (left side). But maybe koby will bloom at the end of the story or even a timeskip
The top four engage for the one piece and the bottom 8 start the final war. Raftel and the final war start at the same time and end in the same place, the winner of the top (luffy) will fight the winner of the bottom (imu)
The one wish thing remindes me so much of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun as the final question for each character is *„how would your Netherworld looks like?“*
Bonnie can use alternative futures; she can return Kuma to normal. She may even have the one piece before anyone else, simply because she Imagined a future where she got it first.
If she awakens her fruit, she might be able to permanently restore Kuma, but her power wouldn't just let her imagine a future where she gets the One Piece first. It would allow her to imagine a future where she's as strong as Roger/Garp/Prime Sengoku/Prime Whitebeard, tho.
@@death174128the aging isnt removing wounds tho. Its literally just aging, not turning time back or ahead. I dont exactly remember where and when we saw it but im pretty sure thats how it works. So she could make kuma younger again but he'd still be wounded
I interpreted it more like "the final race is on, the emperors are the top contenders, the marines and the revolutionary army may enter too, but all the other characters shown will play some major role during the race and the final conflict. I mean why would imu go after the one peace themselves for example?
I have similar thoughts about the last panel like on the panel only yonkous are contenders for One Piece and the rest of the characters on the panel are simply reacting to the Vegapunk's words.
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.
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
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.
The One piece could just be the egg that Roger had it could be so powerful that who ever controls it could control the world and it would also explain the reason behind the celestial dragons wanting vegapunk to create real dragons it would also explain why it wasn't time yet when Roger went to laughtale the egg wasn't ready to hatch yet
I don’t know if kuzan made a mistake. I would more easily believe that he has some reason to side with Blackbeard that he believes is so important that he can overlook the evil that Blackbeard does
I think luffys dream is about freedom. He wants people to be able to eat and drink as much as they want and to be free to do as they please as long as they aren’t hurting others or negating someone else’s freedom in the process
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.
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
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
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
Oda could’ve added more people but whats the point in that the people Oda showed are people apart of major factions that will be going up against each other it could even be a battle royal
