The 4 Emperors Explained 

I’ve always liked the theory that the rocks pirates that were left all became emperors and shanks got his title by beating shiki

The more I learn about the God Valley incident the more I think that the Rocks crew wasnt a literal pirate crew but rather an Ocean's Eleven style assortment of crazy people who came together for the ultimate heist.

I find it interesting that the old yonko (big mom, kaido and whitebeard mostly) were never really a active threat or went after the world goverment unless provoked, but the new yonko are more willing to challenge the goverment and this time thanks to fujitora there is no warlords of the sea to stop them... and the seraphim don't seem like they are strong enough just yet

His Editing Is always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Luffy and shanks having a Davy back fight on elbaf seems highly likely to me since it would be the perfect contrast to the one on long ring long land. One island known for everything being stretched horizontally and one for everything being stretched vertically. Their joint history makes it also more plausible to have a friendly competition wit serious stakes instead of a war.

If you look closely to Shanks and what he said ..he didn't said "LET'S FIND THE ONE PIECE",he said "CLAIM" which means that Shanks waited for Someone, That is Luffy,because Yeah even tho Gol D Roger Found the One piece,he didn't CLAIM IT,because he wasn't JOYBOY, Only Joyboy is the KEY for claiming what is One piece,So That's why It doesn't matter if you gave Big Mom and Kaido all the Road Poneglyph's they would've FOUND and only FOUND,but not Claim what is actually inside of it.

Buggy as an Emperor isn't a mistake. Don't be spearing misinformation about the strongest emperor and future pirate king. Buggy for God 2024!!!

i always liked the theory that buggy is rock's son, contrasting shanks being garlings son, and growing up together on rogers crew becoming brothers. one brother from the top of the barrel and another from the bottom

Big Mom's transformation is quite funny. She moved from big to Slim and back to Big again.

Wow. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now and just wanted to say how well edited your videos are now! Not only the editing of the video but the quality and time u put into these videos are amazing. Thank you Ohara!!

Actually in a SBS, Oda stated that the Yonko system appears because Roger left a power vacuum, in terms of power it would be. And the 1st "Yonko" is considered big mom, having the biggest territory and crew Rocks Era/threat ---> Roger Era/threat ----> the Yonko system appears because of a stalemate ( all 4 are evenly matched)

Great video! I really enjoyed your analysis on the Four Emperors. Your insights were spot on and it was incredibly captivating to watch. Your passion for the series really shines through in your content. Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to more awesome videos like this. ♥️😁

I really like the vibe of this video and the way it's written a lot more than the chapter reviews or the what-ifs are written. Those videos are fun too but there's just something about the writing in this video and your delivery. I have to imagine the Yonko that Shanks took over for was another Rocks Pirate like Silver Axe or maybe one we haven't heard of yet.

Before I finish the rest of this video I HAVE to say: Blackbeard didn't become emperor by defeating the rest of WB crew, he became Emperor because he snatched up all WB's territories before anyone else could. Having been on WB's crew before, he was familiar with all the territories and as such he could quickly claim WB's seat. Beating the WB remnants was only a small part of it, because if he only defeated all of them and didn't claim any territories, he would not have been named Emperor.

Haven't been able to watch your videos lately but I really do love the new editing, keep the good work as always

Bro goes all out for his fans❤ good work

Next level editing great work man !!!

Really impressed with the video quality and editing! Nice work!

Let's just appreciate how much hard creamy work Manu puts inside of us all the time

Great video, the editing was awesome!

The Four Emperors of the Sea are a group of four pirates who make up 'The Great Power'. The current group consists of Red-Haired Shanks, Blackbeard, Straw Hat Luffy, and Buggy the Star Clown. Together these people rule over specific territories of the New World.

The owner of one piece is the one who can make many people laugh, and buggy is strongly candidate for that

The yonko titles seem to be a great way to pit haki users against each other and create some neutral ground for the marines to focus on more active pirates. The mistake that changed it was trying to nip another gold roger in the bud and provoking whitebeard. No other factor was taken into consideration. The amount of marines also seem to have gotten in the way otlf the admirals and garps that could have deal with the threat. As for buggy, I think that both Shanks and the Roger pirates wanted more for him and and either waiting for him to go for the one piece and see what his captain saw or help him get some great treasure at said island. For all we know Roger's ship could be his greatest treasure or the treasure chest he found Shanks in.

I like this paced out type of editing cuz the what ifs really overwhelmed me

Your editing has gone to next level and also like the new manga page flipping editing man

He forgot to mention. The yonkos holding onto the road poneglyphs isn't really the main hurdle most pirates face when trying to find laughtale. The thing is u need to go into yonkos territory and beyond just to get to roadstar which then let's u know u need to find the poneglyphs to reach the true final island. So the yonkos aren't just road blocks for the road poneglyphs but even the information that their necessary. I'm still curious how kid knows their important. Blackbeard seems to have some hidden knowledge, shanks was part of Rogers crew, big mom and kaido were part of rocks and may have reached road star on their own at one point, even law learned about it with the strawhat. But kid? Where the hell did he learn he needs them in the first place. I doubt that's info pirates go around talking about if they know

Keep up the awesome work and videos ohara love the video

absolutely love the new editing style

this is actually such a good video I really dont get how it doesnt have more views

Hello, i have been watching you for a while now and i am enjoying your vids keep it up brotha

This new vibe goes hard😂

It make's sense that in rocks era the four emperor's were roger, shiki, rocks and another strong pirate

I love how Mano explains to what a sea emperor is like we don't watch the same show.

Great explanation as always!

People forget that it took so many marines at Marineford because each emporor is basically in control of the same amount of men as the WG. Its not The Emporors vs The World Government, its every emporor for themselves with the WG as a fifth player.

Really like your content bro! Usually dont like the youtubers yapping on fan theories and headcannon but your editing, presentation and way of speaking are very engaging! Keep up the great content 🔥

the earliest ive been to a ohara video

Shanks must know that Gol D Roger said they were too early to find the One Piece so Shank has been carrying his will all this time to ultimately help Luffy find the one piece. Maybe he has been waiting for Luffy to get to this stage so he can carry out Roger’s will with the person Roger spoke about 🤷🏻‍♂️

The first time I’ve heard someone say that Big Mom may actually have been stronger than Kaido… hmmm. After rewatching the fights on Wano he might be right! When Big Mom was around, things were DANGEROUS. She did get knocked off the edge because her mind seems to be super fragmented, and she lapsed in judgment, but her abilities were absolutely insane. Her Haki insane. Her durability has to be second to only Kaido as well. Kaido is a powerhouse, but his attack prowess may’ve been lesser than Lin Lin’s. His attack variety is certainly lesser so. Her attacks were insanely devastating as well as much harder to dodge. Something to consider for sure.

Your editing is so cool

Thanks for the story

great video as always!!

Tbh buggy being a emperor is amazing because he has the potential of every warlord joining him even law and his op awakening he could get could be great to see

Luffy didnt just defeat Kaido on his home turf, he killed him and took his territory.

Great editing ❤

Tbe 4 yonko before were 3 influenced by Rocks and 1 influenced by Roger. The 4 current yonko are 3 influenced by Roger and 1 influenced by Rocks

Manu, your shirt I effing awesome! Love it!!

Would be very cool to find out the yonko system goes back as long as pirates do. I would love to dive into that history

This is a solid video and when will the custom devil fruit video be out

It was confirmed by the Ace novel that the previous Yonko where Roger, Shirohige, Big Mom and Shiki

Another’s banger video from ohara

Just waiting for the new chapter🔥🔥

The yonko arnt what make the grand line chaotic. Their presence stabilized it (as much as it can be) they’re pillars of control.

Rocks hair silhouette absolutely has the potential to be revealed to be nika hair. That dreadlock braid like shape. Very promising

Who do you guys have Winning 4vs4. The Old Era Yonkos Whiteboard, Kaido, BigMom Shanks or New Era Yonkos Luffy, Blackbeard, Shanks, Buggy?

Very nice explanation I know one piece because of you Thank you very much

poor Shiki he better come back with the biggest upgrade 😅😅😅

Your tongue in cheek besmirtching of the genius jester will not go unpunished!

Fresh upload is tuff

Buggy being an emperor is fate.

12:50 MOSTLY Zoan users. Hawkins and Apoo were Paramecia, for example, and he wanted to recruit Kid and Luffy, also Paramecia (or so we all thought, including Kaido)

Maybe shanks recruited the best people from his generation and did something like rocs but going about it in a chill way

Broo love your videos and the story line you creat

Watching this praying for no anime spoilers 😊

I have believed for some time now, and still do, that Buggy will be the true Pirate King. Because let's be honest here. Shanks and Black Beard won't. No matter what, I can't see any future where either of them really becomes the Pirate King. And Luffy, even if he always says he wants to be the Pirate King, his true dream is something else. Something that we don't even know. Only his crew, Ace, Sabo, Shanks and Caribou know of. (And I am not sure if even Shanks knows). We have known for a while that for him, the Pirate King title only means the most free man alive. Which is what he wants. He doesn't really care about being a king. But Buggy does. And I can see our beloved clown very well becoming the Pirate King while all others struggle to understand how the hell he got there.

thank you ohara

Buggy is like when you go max charisma but suck at everything else and somehow still win

Glad to see i am early in a video judging from the start i like this videos editing

0:54 I will answer that now, to see if we agree when we get there. Because they also keep each other in check. You cannot move against another Yonko or against the WG without exposing your flanks to the other 3 groups that can target you (like Kaido tried to do at Marineford, like Shanks did to Kaido preventing him to go to Marineford, like future Emperor Blackbeard actually did at Marineford). Yonko A attacks Yonko B, then Yonko C and D and the WG can either third party the battle to capitalize on the extremely weakened victor (even a really weak crew at that point (compared to a Yonko fleet) was able to do it successfully), or attack Yonko A's territory. Let's imagine Shanks didn't stop Kaido. Of course, since he was probably attempting to capitalize on the aftermath of the Shirohige-WG battle, he might have only taken a token force (like Shanks did, it was only his flagship). But he must have taken many of his big hitters away from Wano. What if Big Mom had full-force attacked Wano at that same moment? Or even easier, what if she had gone against the unprotected Whitebeard's territory? That's why they don't move, they are stuck in a permanent Mexican standoff

I never thought about it until you called the poneglyphs unbreakable stones but what if Joy Boy imagined that they were unbreakable? That could completely change the abilities of the Nika fruit compared to the way Luffy uses it, instead of just bending reality he could alter and make permanent his own reality

Sick vid thanks for not yelling at me 😂

Thanks for sharing this Luka Doncic

@ohara Shanks maybe born in / related to God Valley Incident. The Manga mentions about Population Eradication Tournament 38 Years ago. And Shanks age is 39.

Next video idea: Explain what would happen if roger told whitebeard about Ace and not garp

Can't wait for gen4 emperors to be released

Goo job on the video bro

Buggy won't be the King of Pirates, he will be the God of Pirates. Because when Luffy said that he wants to be the King of Pirates to Buggy on their first fight, Buggy said: "If you are the King of Pirates, what am I? The God of Pirates?"

One of the biggest reasons why the WG hasn't been destroyed by them, is something that Nico Robin said in Punk Hazard; specifically regarding Pirate Alliances. The summary is that such alliances end up being fragile, and then turn on each other. Something the WG is unconsciously relying on 24/7. The Gorosei themselves were worried about KAIDO knocking on their door, and were genuinely frightened when he and Big Mom formed an alliance. **Spoilers**: The alliance slowly falls apart from numerous backstabbers (from both sides), and even CP Aegis 0 had intervened to an extent. Luffy's victory. If the Yonkou can keep their alliances stable, and exclusively prioritize their forces into toppling the WG, they may have a chance of winning, not without heavy casualties of course.

correction kaido wanted to die like roger, oden and whitebeard not rocks. in fact he despised the way rocks ended.

The emperors have not made any progress with the ponegliff because they can’t do anything with them. They need someone to decipher them … and all methods of deciphering the ponegliff are currently with Luffy. 1. An O’Hara researcher. Luffy has this in the form of Robin. 2. A descendant of the Kozuki clan. Momo. 3. The smartest scientist in the world. VegaPunk. Potential 4th, the third eye which is/was owned by Big Mom. With another potential being Luffy (awakened 3rd eyes have the ability to hear the voices of all things). Luffy has been shown to hear the voices of all things similar to Roger.

video idea: what if aces execution took place after the timeskip.

Buggiwara D. Clown is the kinda guy to Fail Upwards to becoming the Pirate King

The editing and music selection in this video is TRULY next level! Feels like even Manu is moving to the big leagues of being able to hire exceptional editors!

New editor? Fire

Don Kreig had more alien captains than whitebeard😭

I love this

I would argue that Luffy does not just have the backing of his crew and the captains that agreed to fight for him. But also the backing of multiple countries such as Alabasta, Dressrosa and Wano should he ever really need help in a fight. I know with the drama of Alabasta in the air right now there status might be iffy but if Vivi's crew needs her I have no doubt she would find away to bring in her army.

marines couldn't really recognize bb as a emperor then since they saw how he went down

I believe that an AV could take out an emperor, but the problem is there will be two weeks to deal with the other three afterwards

Did you edit this yourself!?!?? This is awesome!

If yassop goes toes with usopp, he earns biggest POS dad award i swear. 😂

love your shirt print

I think the problem is that Oda made us believe a "yonko" should be powerful while in actuality being rendered one is because of simply influence not individual strength.

Where’d you buy that shirt from? Looks super dope

Luffy speedran doing it I mean 6 months 2 years and 2 weeks that fast

I always thought 4 Emperors meant the top 4 closest to finding the One Piece. Cause there were Yonko level pirates like Shiki who wasn't close to the One Piece.

I think rocks was the last person to get the gum gum fruit but he turned to the dark side of what the gum gum fruit could do. And so garp and Roger had to defeat him. After hundreds of years of avoiding the government it finally got found decades after defeating rocks they got their hands on it until shanks stole it back and ultimately luffy consumed it. Seeing the heart that luffy had and the want for freedom shanks decided to use that for his benefit down the line

I would love to see shanks crew and luffys in a david fight back competition in the end

One of mi favorites videos in RU-vid🐺🐺🦊🐺🐺

Great info indeed!... But Don't forget that Mr.Krabs sold spongebobs soul for 62 cent
