Top 20 MIND BLOWING Plot Holes In One Piece Explained! 

Honestly, given how long and crazy the story is, it's really awesome how overall consistent One Piece is

Sabo's amnesia makes more sense in the original Japanese. He almost definitely knew of Ace and probably new of Luffy, but didnt remember his relationship to them. The reason he suddenly remembered wasn't just from seeing Ace, but from seeing Ace and Luffy, as well as the term sakazuki. Not only is Akainu's real name Sakazuki, the practice of sharing sake cups to swear a bond is called sakazuki in Japanese.

Sabo saw three key words when reading the News Paper: Ace, Luffy and Sakazuki (which means ceremonial cups). That's why he remembered

Something funny about the first inconsistency is that even Whitebeard said to Shanks: “ What could you possibly have faced in the east blue that cost you your hand?

My take on Luffy not being killed by the world government while he is still weak and young is that they are not expecting for him to awaken the devil fruit and there are many users of it after Joyboy from the past 800 years that didnt manage to unleash it's full potential

For point 6, I think it totally makes sense that technology isn't the same everywhere in the One piece world. It's literally the same as in real life, there are developed countries and countries still developing: i doubt Tokyo, Japan has the same level of technology as a random countryside village in Marocco for example (taking this as example because i've seen both).

Chopper being labeled as a pet: Makes complete sense inside the story. They don't want bounty hunters to bring a random reindeer, and waste their time. Or as people often mistake Chopper, random Racoondogs. So they keep Chopper's bounty low, so that a Bounty Hunter is only likely to collect, if they were to bring in the Strawhat crew. I seriously do wish Oda would do more with bounties.

I think that Kaido can't kill himself by drowning because his fruit is not a dragon fruit but the "blue dragon" version of the fish fruit. That might allow him to breathe underwater despite not being a fishman.

A lot of these "plot holes" can be attributed to a purposeful plot element; i.e., Oda built a world full of isolated islands that have little contact with each other and not a lot of access to information from the outside. It'd be like expecting a carpenter from 1400 Europe to know the name of China's emperor at the time.

I think you're vastly misunderstanding Kaido's character. He wants to die an epic death. Even if he jumped into the ocean, he wouldn't die because of fish-fish dragon fruit. Kaido is heavily depressed. Look at episode 1033 of the anime. One of the best episodes for Kaido's character alongside 1026. Also, for your Devil Fruit to awaken, your will has to align with your Devil Fruit's. Which doesn't seem to be the case for Kaido, but I agree, Oda could be more clear. Also, WB was sick in Marineford. We even see him try use Conqueror's Haki but then start coughing. That's why he didn't.

Mr 3.'s case has been explained by Oda already. He was over a wooden panel which is really really floaty. Kaido has a fish devil fruit, allowing him to breathe underwater.

For point 8, kido hasn't awakened his devil fruit as we know. With the "scarf" they get it because they awoke their Devil fruits by normal means. Choppers is a force awakening that eventually with training he learns to control it, the beast prison guards are actually smile devil fruit users who the devil fruit took control of their body and now they are stuck in their awakened state

I could see an argument being made for why Luffy wasn’t killed earlier in the story if the Gorosei knew of his real power all along and that is - they wanted to wait and see if he even becomes this kind of problem and learns the true power of his fruit, because if they had him killed the fruit would be 'born again' and get eaten by someone else who could pose an even bigger threat than Luffy power wise (for example Blackbeard or other strong pirates) but if he were to stagnate in his power growth and never awaken his fruit and never learns it’s actual nature it would simply rot away as the Gomu Gomu No Mi for as long as he would be alive

Mr. 3 Floating in water was a mistake but Oda in his SBS corner, when asked about it, said that Mr.3 had a wooden board attached on his back

9:05 Wouldn't be impossible for Kaido to breathe underwater since he ate the fish-fish fruit. But also, I think Kaido wanted to die in a magnificent way, like Whitebeard. Drowning would be lame I think in his eyes.

Zoro used to be a bountyhunter, so bounties are actually used the problem is that pirates are too mobile or scale too high for regular people (In One Piece following your dreams makes you stronger so being into something just for cash sorta caps your potential), unless you are in a good position like Whiskey Peak you arent really living of that, and you migth as well become a Marine for the training. At best, the posters are encouraging oportunistic behavior, like selling out crew members or as mass alert notices for the danger level of a pirate

About the op fruits: 1. Law's fruit allows certain operations such as shambles (switch places), tact (move objects), and the one where he slices you. You cannot do just anything with it, but he can do any of his moves to anyone he knows is in the room. K-room (awakened power) can be centered on an object to manipulate it. 2. Kizaru's fruit would not allow him to travel around even earth in a second and the world of One Piece is 84% the size of out Sun. For balance and pizzaz, they slow down how fast Kizaru moves to distinguish it from teleporting (such as shambles). 3. The hobby fruit is only as good as its user, being very limited. Since a kid was using it, it was terrible. 4. Haki is the literal hard counter to devil fruits and the hard counter to itself. If your haki is stronger than the user's haki, they cannot use certain powers on you, but if your haki is equal or weaker, it will not matter.

The thing about kaido not drowning himself is that technically, he ate the fish fish fruit that had a mythic effect. Which turned himself into a dragon.

For the bounties: It was shown how Zoro got his nickname "Pirate hunter", he was hunting pirates with bounties and cashing them in to buy himself food. Its probably the only instance of bounties actually being important (with the recent chapter Cross Guild's bounties which caused a navy vice admiral to be killed)

20:20 the biggest hint that Luffy's power wasn't merely rubber, with STRONG emphasis on BIGGEST, was gear third. He explained it by saying he's blowing air into his bones to inflate them. But as anyone with the most basic understanding of physics could tell you, an increase in volume without adding mass should logically reduce density. But with Luffy's fist inflated to 100x its normal size it still seemed as though his fist was hitting as hard as it would at normal size.

Nami making Luffy's injured with a mere punch is a plot hole

shanks litearily said he bet his arm on the new gen he said that to whitebeard meaning he wanted to show luffy what is like being a pirate

Kaido trying to kill himself is something you don't understand, he is not trying to die he is trying to kill himself by damaging his body. He is essentially testing himself to see if he can die from certain things. It goes well with his character also if he for example dies that would be good with him i think. He is severely depressed in my opinion and is just trying to find an excuse to die but is not fully committed to dying

Baroque Works was built around compartmentalized information. Agents who did not work directly with each other didn't know each other's faces, no one in the group other than Robin ever met Crocodile in an official capacity, and agents who hasn't already been assigned to Alabasta had no idea that was the end game. So it makes sense that no one figured Vivi out, as the only person who really could was Robin. And Robin did figure it out, she just let it go because she thought it might be better for her in the long run.

Biggest plot hole is that White beard didn't have a beard.

I think Ohara dug really deep but also stretched some things way more than they could have been stretched and ignored a bunch of details that would nullify these "plot holes" on purpose.

I’m not a fan of amnesia in general but I’m okay with Sabo because he was literally blown up as a child, probably had a pretty hectic concussion and was surrounded by people who had no idea of his past or family. It’s not a stretch to me for Sabo to not remember anything before waking up on dragon’s ship until he’s shown the face of his brother by coincidence

I know I'm late to the party, but I still wanna throw my two cents, especially with Gear 5. I'm definitely in the camp that likes it and what it adds(changes) to the story, I for one never really saw the need to question how or why the government couldn't find Luffy since as far they knew Shanks is the one that had the fruit, they wouldn't know some random 7-year-old ate it. Luffy lived in Foosha Village, a complete back-water in the Goa Kingdom, watched over by Garp, so even if a hunt was conducted no one would think it is on such an island much less the Hero of the Marine's grandson (If you can accept Dawn Island being a reasonable place for Ace when they were hunting him, then same applies to Luffy).10 years pass and Luffy is a no-name pirate making small waves in the East Blue, nothing special bout that, then he enters the Grand Line and truly becomes notorious, but even with that newfound notoriety the Gorosei shouldn't inherently know bout his devil fruit (after all, they spent 800 years wiping out its true value from the world no is gonna really think to report that, not civilians or the average marine), they knew he beat Crocodile and nothing more, plus there's the cover-up they had to do for the whole incident as well. After that, he goes to Skypeia, no way for the WG to get a hold of him there. Then Water 7 and Enies Lobby, this is where I believe the Gorosei became aware he had the fruit, with multiple marines (and Cipher Pol 9 agents, since remember they were the ones in charge securing the fruit in the first place) bearing witness to shit he was doing and his fight with Lucci, they definitely got that report for which would lead them to send Kuma to kill him at Thriller Bark (which fails). Then there was the war with Whitebeard, the government legitimately had to worry bout that than with Luffy (who at the time hadn't awakened the fruit yet). He then disappears for 2 years (hiding away in the Calm Belt) and honestly from there, Luffy is just hoping between Yonko territory and islands that no one would consider like Zou (brief stint in Dressrosa notwithstanding) till they finally truly get him at Wano. They got him right where they want, got operatives that will definitely see the job through and try and kill him...only for it to blow up in their faces. I'm sure with the Egghead arc Oda will address this "oversight" since one of the Gorosei is en route to the island, so let's wait and see. Finally, while Gear 5 essentially grants Luffy Looney Tunes powers he's still bound by it coming from his rubber body and things he's actively touching. His imagination is the deciding factor and even then as shown in the fight with Kaidou, Luffy was still getting hurt and wasn't dominating him. There are still the inherent risks of it quickly and heavily draining his stamina, having his mind potentially consumed by the Zoan fruit's innate nature, and being cut (he's still at the end of the day, a rubber man) so I wouldn't say it's the bestest, most OP power ever, it still has serious drawbacks and weaknesses to it, it's just the most ridiculous power.

I’d like to think the reason why Shanks let the King of the Sea eat his arm was to prove a point to Luffy. Luffy is so important to him that he’s willing to sacrifice things for him. But Luffy must prove himself in the pirate world as well. This is why Shanks passed on Rogers straw hat to Luffy, because he wanted Luffy to prove himself, Shanks has shown him trust, now Luffy must show Shanks that that trust wasn’t meant for nothing

Ohara looks like a cheap sengoku

I think a few of these (like the one about some countries fighting with tech and others with sticks and the one about certain parts of the world thinking devil fruits are a myth) can be answered by understanding that the One Piece world is a fragmented planet. Ohara supposedly learned a lot about the void century, but almost none of the rest of the world learned what Ohara knew without physically traveling there. Same for Egghead and Punk Hazard. The only characters who knew what was going on had some involvement with the ones running things. And the news wouldn't necessarily cover this gap. I'm guessing there is some reason that the world government wants the One Piece world to remain fragmented, so newspapers that go too far over the line with sharing information might not remain in existence for long. Just my thoughts.

I think Luffy not dying might be becoz of its devil fruit. The 5 elders also said that the devil fruit tried to evade them multiple times as if it has will of it's own. And what I think is that Luffy is not special on his own but might be because of his Nika fruit. For example how come, Luffy was able to awake Gear 5 after his defeat and near death. Zunesha also confirmed that he could hear Joyboy returning, so one possibility could be that the Nika model devil fruit might actually hold the conscience of its previous holder and as time goes by, the user also access their haki as well. Like Luffy able to see what happens in the future because of his fight with Katakuri. Just a theory but I think in future arcs, Luffy might be able to gain access to Joyboy's memories and could see what actually happened in Void century.

Emna is a special sword that changes size for the owner, when it was passed down to his daughter, it changed to suit her, which meant it could fit zoro

Sabo's amnesia only "healed" because he read the name of ace and also luffy, aswell as "sakazuki" name, wich means "cup of sake" and that backfired the remember of the 3 brothers sharing sake. It wasn't a plot hole, it was art.

The reason why the government didn’t go after Luffy was with more force was because they underestimated him. I mean think about it, despite it being in circulation for 800 years the Nika nika fruit has never been awakened before. They probably got cocky and thought it would never be awakened much less Luffy doing it. And by the time he was enough of a threat that it was worth considering that he might actually awaken it, Luffy was in Big Mom’s territory which probably gave them cold feet and then he went straight from that emperor’s territory to Kaido’s territory which has tons of rules and restrictions keeping the government out in addition to dealing with the obvious issue of finding the manpower to deal with Luffy and his crew, Kaidou and his crew, and big mom and her crew. Credit where credit’s due they did try assassinating Luffy in Wano, it just didn’t stick

The amount of foreshadowing early on in the story, the way the main antagonist (Blackbeard) was introduced, and how it was thoroughly weaved into the story as early as Zhou shows that Oda had it planned from the beginning. Blackbeard is the antithesis of Luffy: King of darkness with the power of blackholes and a desire to make everyone around him submit. Luffy is the opposite: Sun god nika with a desire to free everyone around him. Skypeia is a representation of the series as a whole: Luffy saving the world from false gods who oppress them. There is the silhouette that looks almost identical to the sun god nika pose. Them going to Zhou was a major plot point and the elephant knew Joyboy, so the entire arc had sun god nika weaved into it.

11:04 I've seen somewhere that Chopper being so low was not only for comical purposes, but also because people might just kill a random reindeer and claim the bounty like "yeah that's Chopper"

Oda already told us that shanks intentionally lost his hand due to "investment" to Luffy

The greatest development achieved Kaku. He got a Zoan-Devil Fruit and just 2 years later he could awaken it! That development is insane.

"why wasn't this a thing before the time skip." Lmao Classic.

Also, to be fair, when it comes to point 17, Joy Boy wasn't introduced THAT late into the series. He was first mentioned in 2011 which is 14 years after the series started, sure, but 12 (nearly 13) years ago, so it's roughly about halfway through and it'll be less than halfway through when this crazy ride eventually ends. I do definitely agree that it's clear Oda didn't plan this stuff. With his love of foreshadowing stuff YEARS ahead (like Jinbe being mentioned before they get to Arlong Park) it's clear that Joy Boy wasn't something he'd thought of for quite a long time into the manga.

Theory: The reason that the heights are all weird is because Usopp is telling us this story, and he has a penchant for ... embellishment.

There were plenty of bounty hunters in the anime, most of them are afraid of gigantic bounties tho. Also Sabo did know about Ace, it was the shock of his death that returned his memory, not just his existence. Haki is not visible to non-haki users and haki is only common in the new world because that's where those that can rise above the rest meet (observation haki was heavily used in skypiea even). Shanks clearly trusted Luffy, leaving him with the straw hat, he knew Luffy could find a way to survive so he had no need to take Luffy with him. As for the world government, like you said, I suppose they didn't want to make a scene and reveal the true nature of his fruit because then it wouldn't just be them but the whole world after it. Plus, as far as they knew, Luffy was under the complete impression that he is a rubber man and no more, so at the time he did not pose a huge threat, if they just kept him under control, nobody else could eat the fruit and Luffy would have never awakened his abilities. Oda said he doesn't want anyone to die because he wants a big party at the end.

As far as # 12 I believe Kaido’s devil fruit is one of the fish fish fruits model azure dragon. Its likely that the change to his body allowed him to possibly swim or at the very least breath underwater. Even if he is paralyzed he wouldn’t die.

About Kaido being awakened or not, I think he is. I haven't seen anyone else mention this, and I don't know if it's true in the manga, but Kaido has 2 hybrid forms in the Anime. One where he's light blue and has no eyebrows, and one where he's dark blue and has swirly cloud like eyebrows. I believe the 2nd dark blue form with cloud eyebrows to be indicative of awakening. Edit: He definitely has 2 forms in the Manga too. I dunno if the colors translate, but normally he has no eyebrows, but when he does Drunken Bagua and Thunder Bellow Bagua he has swirly cloud eyebrows. Edit 2: His nose also changes from fairly normal looking to a wider, rounded look.

I think for number 4 Luffy’s survival can be explained by him being lucky and unknowingly a zoan, and Oda pretty much fleshing out zoans as super resilient in Wano was to close that plot hole a bit.

Well haki was obviously meant to be a power up tool post time skip. That is why many characters who probably should have had great haki ability didnt have it: like CP9, crocodile. But it was still decently set up to not seem like a complete asspull. Like Mantra in skypiea, Iron body for CP9 (in my opinion). And by thriller bark, it was already a thing.

sabo only remembered because he saw ace died, not just because he saw his face.

For the haki one, -Haki can only be learnt by intense training and pushing ones limits. The grand line challenges people, but nearly as much as the new world. -Marco said whitebeard couldn't use haki at the time because he was in the final stage of cancer -One of the 6 powers of the CP-9, Iron Body, was actually stated to be Armament Haki by Jimbei in his fight with Who's Who

My theory for the haki plot hole is that; Yes it is never mentioned as "Haki" because Luffy didn't know about it, and it feels wrong for the viewer to understand it before Luffy does. Those haki's are acknowledged as something else, such as Enel's Mantra, Rokushiki Kami-e, and I believe the rokushiki Tekkai and Shigan uses armament to coat their body.

is anyone gonna talk about how at 18:17 when he says "Conqueror's Haki" it shows up as Observation Haki?

The only people in the World Government who new about the Gum Gum Fruit were the 5 Planet Elders and the Queen, none of the Marines knew about it. It is noted that it wasn't made a big issue of until later after the Water 7 Arc. It is also possible that Shanks who we know meet with the 5 Planet Elders was likely protecting Luffy from being pursued out of hand by Admirals.

I think the scene where shanks loses his arm to the sea beast should be changed to him blocking a sword that is aimed at luffy thrown by the mountain bandit, thus losing his arm.

Explanations from the top of my head: 20 - Shanks let his arm be cut off (just like roger let his head be cut off in the first page) 19 - the whole gimmick of baroque works was that no one knew each other (unless they were partners) 18 - not a plot hole as you said (OP had bounty hunters like the cactus guy from the colosseum and Zoro himself) 17 - not a plot hole since disinformation and censorship have existed since day 1 (revealing characters 20+ years later is a narrative choice not a plot hole) 16 - databooks aren't accurate (especially for determining height) 15 - not a plot hole just a lack of knowledge/misinformation in the first half of the grand line 14 - like you said, haki balances the primary power system 13 - like you said not a plot hole (Mr. 3 didn't submerged because of a piece of floating wood behind him, seriously look it up) 12 - he wants to die in a grandiose way just like Roger and WB, otherwise he wouldn't try to defend himself while fighting) 11 - not a plot hole (fun fact around the time that I was watching Dressrosa my uncle fell and hit the back of his head leading to him to forget who he was, it happens, he eventually remembered) 10 - not a plot hole since Attach hasn't seen Chopper be more than a pet 9 - not a plot hole just more lack of knowledge/misinformation to the ones that haven't been there (Gatz literary tells the people from Dressrosa what Bellamy did for Doffy) 9 - lack of knowledge due to not having access to that information either because of location or monetary issues + not everyone reads the newspaper (there's people that don't even know about the four emperors btw) + censorship and skepticism exist PS: show me a news coo in Skypiea, Wano, Amazon Lily, Zou, etc. 8 - not a plot hole since Oda always specifies who has awakened their devil fruit 7- even though he read about devil fruits doesn't mean Sanji took all the info as facts to the point that he instantly knew that he had to save Luffy the exact moment that he fell into the water (he was confused) 6 - just like in the real world there's places like tokyo and the amazon forest (little garden vs egghead) + Vivi said that there were places stuck in time PS: Eneru and VP have flying machines 5 - reread chapter 1037 + the navy/warlords/revolutionary army have constantly helped Luffy in getting away from the hands of the WG + he could've been a good warlord in their eyes before Alabasta 4 - zoans are tough (especially mythical ones) + he always had someone or something that preventing him from dying PS: every example you gave was either explained or can be easily justified 3- quick examples: hao can be seen in chapter 1, buso can be seen in post EL, and kenbun can be seen in Alabasta + WB definitely used haki (just like the shooters) and CP9 isn't a top agency (CP0-8 are) 2 - It's called a plot twist 🤷‍♀ + aside from having his own reasons, Shanks bet on Luffy's success (conversation with WB during post EL) otherwise he would've been his babysitter PS: Luffy doesn't bend reality 1 - not a plot hole since when someone seems to have died doesn't mean they are dead I can explain each of these in more detail if you want

Pretty sure at some point it was stated that a swordsmith worked on enma to make it so Odin's daughter could wield it

I think the Devil Fruits' weakness is only to sea water and not drinking water

“We have never seen anybody try to collect a bounty” Zoro: Am I a Joke to you?

I thought kaido being able to survive is because he's a fish. My head cannon is that he was able to turn to a fish and was able to survive underwater although unable to move just like Jack (I thought that was why he was pretty close to Jack). When Kaido was able to turn to a dragon he still retained fish properties to be able to go underwater but still not able to move. I think that plothole was pretty much resolved when it was revealed that kaido ate the uo uo no mi and not a straight up dragon fruit.

I hate that Pell's death was a fake-out. Arguably one of the most emotional moments and his survival just made it feel so underwhelming in hindsight.

Oda *could* have pretended that Shanks' bounty wasn't at that point based on physical strength, like with certain bounties, but the problem is it's also now been established that Shanks was able to attack the Marines and steal the Nika fruit which surely must take a powerful person to do. Which also brings up another weird thing that it's odd he just left such an insanely powerful and priceless thing like lying around so Luffy could eat it. I think the only way out of it for Oda is to make it so this was all some cunning plan by Shanks - but it's hard to think of a reason why it'd be a cunning plan to lose an arm.

My personal headcanon on why Kizaru's abilities aren't consistent with the speed of light is because he's human. Though they are his own abilities and thus don't effect him like they do others, he can't actually handle the full speed of light, so he has to regulate how fast he goes. It could be that there's a risk of his light, or body if he's transformed, refracting out of his control he goes too fast, because his brain can't think fast enough to manage his abilities at those speeds

9:05 maybe kaido wanted to get the death experience because he thought this way he can become joyboy. He himself said something like "dying makes a person complete"

A lot of these are more so issues with the series than outright plotholes. You could also explain away many of these issues because of how massive the series is in its scope. Like WG not going all out on Luffy early on. 1) he is a very smalltime pirate compared to WG. Imagine ordering all the Marines to go after a 30 million beri man. 2) there could be an actual rubber fruit out there. 3) the DF is said to be very elusive for the WG. 4) revealing the truth too early could have caused unforseen consequences.

About Luffy's imagination, I really think it was planned in the beggining. Luffy's whole story is about making dream true, so why not make his Devil Fruit do the same? Besides, even so, all of this power of Devil Fruit would not make him a new JoyBoy. I mean,without his kind personality Luffy would never gone that far) And about awakened Zoan. Chopper's is forced,not by a Haki(will of reindeer), but of science, hence why no rings are there. As for Impel Down.... who said you cannot tear it away to make them dumb?😈😈

Imagine Being the creator of an animator like Oda and watching theories or stuff about your anime and your like "yea yea totally gonna happen. OH SHOOT THEY KNOW! guess ima change this and this and this ok we done here."

The reason why zoro is able to wield enma is because the legendary sword was melted down to fit its next heir, which was supposed to be momonosuke

The inconcistence of the "5 flying devil fruits" can be solved, there´s my theory: The "Flying devil fruits" may not be refering fruits that allow the user to fly (there are many crative ways to use the fruits, like the fruit of Kuma that just trhow people very very far away, in a way they are "Flying" but this doesn´t make the Kuma´s fruit a "Flying-type"). Instead, the 5 Flying fruits may have other singularity atached. We know that one of the revolutionary army members owns the karasu fruit that allows him to transform into a flock of crows. It´s a zoan fruit but works like a logia, dividing the user into a group of birds. If we supouse that every other bird-like zoan fruit has this quirk, but it´s developed only when the fruit is awakening, then we have: -Pell may awake his fruit while carring the bomb in Alabasta, right before the explosion, alawing he to survive (and fixing une of the most infamous plot holes of the series) -Morgans use his Albatros-like fruit to control the albatros that he uses to deliver the news trought all across the world -the revolutionary army member -Maybe Marco -? I´m not counting King´s because is a Ryu-Ryu model of fruit, and the Ryu-Ryu is not a bird-like zoan, making any of their models not "Flying-type" candidates, even if there are models that in the most literal way are "Flying-type" and bird-like fruits (Same logic witj any other model fruit). Neither I´m counting the magician of the Kurohige´s pirates fruit because the power of the fruit is give the user angel wings, just that, not soan and not bird-like (even if the wings of angels are very bird-like). Then, suposing this theory as true, we may not see yet the last of the 5 flying fruits. Pd: I´m not english native, so if there are any gramatical error sorry about that jsjs. good video and good channel, byee

"why would shanks risk luffy dying and the fruit falling in the wrong hands" bro he probably wanted luffy to die and awaken his powers and it was not possible if luffy was under shanks' protection.

I don’t hate fake out deaths. I am so happy Bon Clay is alive. Bon Clay is a true homie.

Manu: "we have never seen anyone actually try to collect a Bounty" Luffy: "See, Zoro, those guys on Whiskey Peak weren't bounty hunters! You were wrong"

I think the bounties make perfect sense, even if characters are extremely powerful to the point where it seems like the public won't be able to catch them, it still makes sense to issue a bounty saying they are a wanted criminal, give some a sense of how much they are worth and allow for general members of the public who stand no chance to keep away from these people, while allowing bounty hunters (yes there aren't any of worth revealed yet but remember that the marines got both aramaki and fujitora from public scanning so it is possible that there are people that strong who are not affiliated with any of the three powers) to go hunt for stronger people. It happens in the real world too. Criminals who are obviously too dangerous for bounty hunters and the general public do also have wanted posters as a warning method to the general public, and in case there is an off chance someone is able to bring that criminal in. Also regarding the fruit awakening section: Of course kaido wouldn't have the clouds surrounding his hybrid form, that isn't his awakening, same way chopper doesn't have the clouds when he transforms into his hybrid, also why luffy can use other skills but only Gear 4 and 5 have those clouds and even Gear 4th doesn't have it completely, it's just not being used. When Kaido ignites himself in dragon form you can kind of see swirls appear around his neck area, which could imply he used his awakening then

13:18 The clouds are actually a reference to “guardian deities”. So far we have seen them only on mythical zoan types that resembles the guardian deities in real life folklores. In japanese culture, those deities have the same shape of clouds luffy has in his awakening and they also appear when he enters gear 4.

Also enel having one of the arguably strongest logia fruits being introduced so early and defeated by a pre time skip luffy.

in marineford, whitebeard was so "weakened" that his haki was just pouring out uncontrollably. so its not that he wasnt necessarily not using haki, but rather his haki was being limited by his physical state

About luffy's devil fruit, the world govt has been trying for 800 years to get their hands on it but miraculously the fruit somehow ended up somewhere else everytime. In this long time nobody has been actually able to awaken the fruit's powers and considering that the sun god's powers manifest only after awakening, I think it would have been too excessive on the part of world govt. to go after luffy earlier in the story. This is also supported by the fact that the world govt. went after luffy on wano, just after his awakening

Number 6 is obvious. Vegapunk is the only alive person that is 500 years in advance from his time. Vegapunk chooses to who he gives the tech. Easy

another inconsistance is when you say conquerors haki and show an image of obeserbation haki

As for Chopper, the Gorasei probably know he's not just a pet, but being in a small mammal form most of the time it's just easier to classifiy him as one. That or he is still considered one by Celestial Dragon standards seeing as some of their own slaves can be used as "pets" and some probably own giant animals that would dwarf Chopper under normal circumstances.

The thing with the swords was actually explained by oda the swords adapt to each owner that’s why momo could wield odens sword as a child and still looked the same size when he was adult the sword adapted to his size

The technology gap makes sense when you realized there are people in the world who have never interacted with electricity

first ten: You...don't know what a plot hole is do you? last 10: you really don't know what a plot hole is.

number 3, oda said that haki is invisible, it wasnt introduced pre timeskip because oda wanted to have it revealed after the timeskip, which explained how fighters have stronger attacks even tho they dident look like they used a lot of power, like lucci, he had armarmant haki and probably used it agains luffy in their fight, but because it wasnt introduced yet, it was invisible, haki is still invisible. oda just made haki visible for us to have a better sight and understanding of the users power and attack.

bro chopper not getting a high bounty is because if he does get a high bounty people will try to make a animal exactly like him and give it to the navy and earn a lot of money. and being afraid of that the WG doesn't give him a high bounty.for example : in the sabody arc when the navy saw the animal of the fake straw hats they thought it was chopper

One of possible the reasons why the World Government didn't go after Luffy when he was a kid, is because Garp was trying to make Luffy join the marine.

One of my biggest questions is how can chopper walk around in his walk point, he litterally is a reindeer wearing pants and a hat, yet noone questions it

Didn't the Gorosei literally say that they thought the Sun God fruit was a myth? It wasn't until Wano and the threat of Luffy actually becoming a full-fledged Yonko that they took the idea seriously at all.

No matter how many flaws and plot holes are there in one piece , it will still hold a special place in my heart 💛😌

The size difference between Oden and zoro was addressed in one of the first chapters on the wano arcs. It's just that most people missed it since it was mentioned nonchalantly

Shanks intentionally losing his arm to teach luffy a lesson about sacrifice is the ultimate giga Chad move

I can see bounty’s having a purpose for the WG to make pirates fight each other. Think of how mad kidd was he was even with luffy but luffy got yonko. Now imagine that on a lesser degree. Two dangerous rivals have close bounty’s so the wg gives one slightly more. So being rivals they end up fighting and if one kills the other over a number the wg wins. But I agree we needed more bounty hunters for any of it to make real sense.

One other thing to note about the government not killing luffy is that there have only been 6 known pirates that were able to truly hold their own against the world government, those being Kaido, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shanks, Xebec, and Roger. Even when Xebec was defeated they needed Roger to stop him. It’s not that far off to think that Luffy wouldn’t be as strong as he would become. Plus if they kill Luffy that means his devil fruit could end up anywhere in the world and they would have to spend a ton of time searching for it.

Whenever a Admaral had a chance to kill Luffy they choose to hold back and give him a chance to live.

For 3. Even when luffy would use his haki in the war at marinford or on the Amazon island, we still didn't get a good view on what haki was until the after the time skip. Luffy didn't know what haki was and had no way to see it so we wouldn't be able to see it either, cause it's the straw hats pov.

Also for plot hole 12, I've been theorizing for awhile that since kaido has the mythical fish fish fruit model "azure dragon" not the dragon dragon or lizard lizard fruit, he will have some unique interaction with the water. This could be why he couldn't kill himself in the water, or it will give him the ability to "swim" in some other sense in order to return to the story later on

9:37 Someone said that the reason why Sabo remembered all of a sudden is because he saw Luffy, Ace and the Sake part of Sakazuki's name together.

Imagine if the reason for Kaido not drowning himself is because he has a fish fruit and cannot drown.

Kaido wanted to die so much but when a worthy opponent showed he didn’t anymore

5:41 I still think Karasu was actually born a crow and ate the mythical Hito Hito or Tori Tori no Mi: Model Tengu, making him effectively a Karasu Tengu. The other crows he can "turn into" are actually his flock (or murder is it's called for crow) over which he has control for some reason. That's also why he has the mask. He can't make his beak disappear because both a crow and a Tengu have beaks. When he "becomes" the murder he actually just transforms back into a standard crow and orders his other crows to spread out Edit: As it just so happens, today came the One Piece episode in Germany in which the commanders of the Revolutionary Army were introduced. In that, Karasu ORDERED his crows to steal weapons from their enemies. If he consisted of the crows then I don't think there would be a need for him to order them. Instead he would just do it.

For #5 my best would be that the World Government got too confident that no one would awaken the gom gomu no mi (since its been 800 years) and assumed luffy would die before awakening it, seeing as he just kept meeting warlords, admirals and vice admirals left and right. I would say they put too much trust into the people they let into power and only realized how serious it was once the Strawhats started entering Emperors' territories and realized that if he beats someone as strong as Kaido he's gonna awaken his fruit.

About kaido drowning in the sea. 2 possibilities. 1 Oda didnt even think through that one well enough and its inconsistency indeed. 2 Or kaidos fruit actually make him breath underwater actually. Its called fish fish fruit for a reason maybe. Maybe thats the reason they couldnt contain him with sea prism stones also.
