Why They BETRAYED Joy Boy! (1111+) 

Idk why people expect Dragon to make a move. His looking east is pivotal to overthrowing the world government

It's funny that Dorry and Broggy thought Gear 5 Luffy was cosplaying as Nika when he's the real deal after finally Awakened.

Iron Giant is going to hold the line against the Five Elders just to ensure Gear 5 Luffy and his crew, the Vegapunks, Kuma and Bonney, and the Giants escape from Egghead Island. As its atonement for failing Joyboy.

"What's that string on your head Roronoa?" "This is the smallest bandana I have on me."

Is it just me or is the line from Saint Saturn “Do you even understand who this boy is” makes me think he’s worried they are recreating the past and trying to remind them from history how it, although seemingly shifting the blame, put the world in turmoil.

it makes sense that luffys/joyboys biggest weakness is his naive mentality that people wouldnt backstab or betray him, and thats what cost the "original" joyboy to "fall".

Really fun how Marcus speaks like a politician even in that monster bird form. That polite vague placating way. Like "that may not be possible at this time".

Kinda crazy how Luffy and Zoro, the first strawhats, got as far as they did on their own while sharing one braincell.

Damn... Being a One Piece fan since the early 2000's is really paying of right now🤩🤩🤩

That little luffy and bonney animation at 4:07 was really heartwarming to see

I guess the ancient robot is sorry for not being able to take revenge on Mary Geoise 200 years ago. The bigger question is how was it able to move back then because as we know it gets powered by Nikas heartbeat. Could this mean there was a third Joyboy 200 years ago (who came "to soon")?

My first thought is that Zunesha’s curse was self inflicted, either due to their guilt of not being able to help Joyboy or the possible case that they betrayed him

The theories and fanon content to come in this three week break is about to be wild.

It’s funny that you mentioned the ‘going along with Luffy’s crazy’ thing, because (since the revelation) I was wondering if that’s one of the reason so many of Usopp’s lies have come true. Luffy often seems to quickly fall for his lies, or used to before he got used to them, and if in some way that belief of Luffy’s didn’t end up shaping reality to unintentionally follow what Usopp said

With the 3 week break coming up I think a video on the ways that the pirate warriors games ended the dressrosa and wano arcs would be cool

Ryuma can't have been part of Joy Boy's crew since he was born roughly 400 years ago.

14:23 those tusks turning into blades isn't really any weirder than what some of Kaido's crewmates can do, like King shooting flaming projectiles by pulling back his head like a slingshot or Sasaki turning his neck crest thingy into a rotor. Since Queen is a Cyborg I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but his "Brachio Launcher" is just as weird if not weirder.

When Joyboy realised he cannot win war he told toki to travel in the future and meet him when he's awaken after 800 years. She took robot and few members. While travelling they saw the way IMU controlling world. That moment Robot snapped and attack Mariejois, it started cheos or due to condition they have to leave Robot behind. But to absence of joyboy's heartbeat he couldn't do much. We know about toki and few members are pretending to living normal life waiting for Joyboy to return.

The most impressive part of the Dragon slander is how unexpected it always is 😂

now is the time for lucci to realize that his "enemy" has more empathy towards his friendship with kaku than his "ally".

I think the Giant wasn't able to successfully attack the Celestial Dragons because Joy Boy most likely died around this exact moment stopping the giant attack immediately.

Still holding out that Sanji kicking the lightbeam wasn't Sanji breaking the laws of physics, it was because Luffy G5 let's him change the laws of physics and as an awakened DF it can affect the world around it. Sanji was able to kick the lightbeam because Luffy believed he could do it. Meaning the crew vs the 5 elder's isn't nearly as one sided as it first seems, as long as Luffy is still active on the field. It also gives a really solid reason for exactly why the world government fears Joyboy/that devil fruit.

watching the recent anime episode then reading the chapter just gave me a cool thought. in the recent OP episode Luffy said he wanted to command and control the giant robot. Now that we know it powers from luffys heartbeat and that the giant robot knows joyboy its very possible that luffy actually ends up using the iron robot (kinda like a megazord from power rangers) to defeat the gorosei

I have seen a theory on Facebook that the ancient iron giant is either linked with Uranus or is the ancient weapon Uranus itself as ODA was inspired by an OVA from '92', called Giant Robo: The Night the Earth Stood Still which too had an ancient robot called Uranus which too was bulky in its design and mysterious.

Nika :- Let's start the Rumbling 🗿

The funny thing is that Dragon isn’t even looking east sometimes so we can’t even truly rely on him for anything 😭

I actually think Toki exists in part to give us a familiar face when we do get that Void Century flashback.

Talk about betrayal, could imu be a former joy boy crew member?

The Pokémon game with the elders looked really cool. Your editors are super talented!

Love the idea Zunesha is waiting got a command to free them.. Maybe the command is opening Wano by destroying the walls..? I love your idea that they were ordered not to atk after losing but still did! I've never heard that before, that's awesome! Very creative and interesting

JOY BOY was a buccaneer and the empty throne belonged to him this will explain the size of the empty throne and the giant straw hat

I had a thought the other day, what if the devil fruits were created by the original Nika? Cuz Nika can alter reality they might have made the fruits to help people accomplish their dreams and then later used them as weapons.

Given the circumstances, it doesn’t seem like it should be hard to not kill Kaku. From Mars’ perspective there are nine things to destroy (seven Strawhats, two Vegapunks), roughly ninety things of no consequence (the cipher pol agents and Kaku) four things of some value (the seraphim) and three things to definitely not destroy (York, the mother flame production, and Punk records). Kaku is in the command center with York, the cipher pol agents are with the Seraphim, and the Strawhats and Vegapunks aren’t in either location, so unless Mars starts destroying everything indiscriminately, which would risk York, the mother flame, and Punk records, there should be no reason Kaku and the other Cipher Pol agents would end up in the crossfire.

What if Vegapunk was doing stuff around the iron giant when we met him because he was setting up the transmiter for the message inside the giant? Note that Shaka was talking about dying not so much earlier making it more likely that Vegapunk was making preparations. I think it also solidifies that the message will go out no matter what.

There was also a time while Luffy fought Kaido where he conjured goggles out of thin air all because he needed them for his shenanigans. Luffy seems to make anything reality with his devil fruit. Afterall, his fighting ability is infinite, only limited by his own imagination.

basically luffy now has the ability to make his imagination into reality like gremmy from bleach he makes what he imagine into reality

An other thing about last chapter, the cover illustration was of "The strawhats" and Oda added Bonney and Kuma, my heart melted when i saw it it was adorable ToT

It seems that Imu has a lot of similarities with Sugar. Maybe Imu is a "hakuba" version of sugar, she turned Joyboy into that giant hat, his friends into a giant elephant and a giant robot, and she made contracts with the gorosei so they could turn into those demons and never be harmed, much like those toys Sugar made that kept reassembling. We need Usopp to traumatize Imu aswell 😂😂😂

"Zoro was pulling a Mihawk" But Mihawk wasn't visibly exhausted when he fought zoro with his knife???

ahhhh sunday night Liam. A welcoming video as always right before the mental prep for work.

Akira Toriyama's birthday will be happening during this three week break (April 5). From what I have heard, people have been asked to help form a spirit bomb on that day, and Oda my be the Goku in that equation.

The elders immortality and healing factor could be an effect of the ope ope no mi immortality surgery that is theorised to have been done on the elders and imu. It could maybe not be an effect of their devil fruits or race. The immortality of the surgery could be more effective than just anti aging. This could explain the elders age differences and scars since they could have gotten the scars before the surgery and because it would take years to find the ope ope nomi after the surgery kills the surgeon and then train the user to perform the surgery explaining the decades of age differences in the elders bodies since their biological ages would be locked to when the surgery was done.

I do remember that in the beginning there were some mentions to colour of haki and since everyone is coding things in it, manifesting haki a a bucket of paint to code your weapon in makes perfect cartoon sense... This also makes me happy for some reason :D

Artosis catching strays in a One Piece video is just what I needed, thank you :D

I really hope Oda handles the joyboy flashback similarly to how it was done in Magi. Im not a super fan of that manga, but the solomon flashback was exquisite (and tied everything to the present time so well). And it was also a story of a similar crew (to present time) failing at their attempts.

I feel like Mars had a genuinely calm and rspectful attitude in his treatment towards Lucci and his request, he even considered the request instead of outright denying it. Imo the insect thing is more if that's literally just how he sees the world. Its not that he's evil bad bug hater he just cant see them as anything but insects.

"Not a Loser, but someone who's just unable to win." There's a great deal of wisdom in those words. I can honestly say that I've never heard them spoken before. Good on you, mate!

what if the recording room is inside the iron giant?? xD

10:04 they’re gonna explain what happened as a side story when they leave to go to elbaf kind of like… a “side plot” while they traveling

I was thinking Odas break is because of Akira passing away. I was shocked a couple chapters have dropped since then. If oda needs to grieve then i say he should take all the time he needs

Honestly, gotta give props to Lucci. He might be the first opponent of Zoro´s who managed to remain standing after receiving what´s was obviously designed to be a finishing blow. Almost everyone else goes down once Zoro manages to land a proper hit (which is one of the major differences between his and Luffy´s fights).

The robot is apologizing because it could not get back that giant straw hat

I love how the giant pig guy *_(Warcury)_* let out a huge conqueror's roar, kinda like a warcry, which sounds quite similar to his actual name

I just want to see the iron giant bust out a microphone and start singing his apologies, like Gato the funfair robot from Chrono Trigger that he looks like (plus, Franky expy)

Listening to your videos on my way to work helps me stay happy😬

I believe the iron giant is a suit of armor for the old joyboy that was a giant. I think the giant was sleeping since that joyboy died and he thought there was no other joyboy until he heard Luffy’s (joyboy) heart beat

The infuriating thing about Dragon is that you want him to do smth but it makes sense why he wouldn't. It's just his the way his character is

Mars saying insects will get stepped on could be foreshadowing of Saturn’s death since he is basically a spider.

As we know now the iron giant can speak I would absolutely love the iron giant giving us the old joy boy flashback and how they betrayed him would be peakkkk

Oda using 3 weeks to study fan theories to decide what the 1 piece is 😂

The Strongest Gorosei St. WARCURY is on the move 😎🔥

I wonder what would Hawkins have said about Elders if saw the demonic circles with his knowledge of card sorcery?

I fell like Joy Boy's crew is starting to resemble luffy's crew. The iron giant being franky and zunesha being like chopper. I wonder who's next?

you did not talk about the gorosei assigned numbers

I believe vegapunk was phasing in and out of the iron giant in order to set up a transmitter snail within it. His lab is a red herring for transmitting the broadcast. The iron giant is where the signal is being broadcasted from.

I can imagine Imu being used to fighting someone with the Nika fruit so he's able to play around the loonytoons-ness

Right now my running theory about Zunesha and the Iron Giant is simply that they failed him in some way. Like Joyboy being executed with the expectation that his allies would save him only for them to fail, like a Marineford Prime.

the pokemon battle edit around the 6 minute mark is so cool!! i love your editors, GLR

On the note of us slowly meeting the joyboy crew members and also how we slowly met the rocks pirates, I think it’s interesting how the straw hats will eventually go down in history, and how each member will become a legend, but we get to know them now and watch their journey

Zunesha really has a binding vow to walk the seas lol.

Boars, like Warcury, have sharp tusks that get sharpened by rooting around in soil for food. Again if he takes off the tusks and uses them as swords then it means something, otherwise its just Oda adding danger to the scene and a cool feature to a boar with razor sharp tusks.

All the brain storming on zoros guestinable performance(speed wise, he was taking his time)is so wierd to me. Why people cannot just accept that lucchi were an legit treath. Awakened past main villain.

When i read the apology of Iron Giant I immediately remembered the apology poneglyph of Joyboy in Fishman Island. What if Zunesha's crime and both apologies are about the Poseidon of their era and all parts failing their promise (that we assume was to get everybody on Noah and relocate to the surface) ? Also about LLLLucci and getting called an "insect" to me (trying to get Lucci's perspective) it felt literal from Mars's point of view and not insulting to him. In Reverie he said CD's are gods so the 5 Elders should be even more respected in his eyes, and in combination with that massive form with the black smoke he himself has when awakened (so he knows how hard it is to control) as well as the immense haki he felt from them during his "fight" with Zoro really shows the difference between a mere CP0 agent and the very top of World Government.

Concerning vice admiral bluegrass mounting the iron giant : we know haki can break any devil fruit power, and we know that he iron giant is sentient, so maybe he could have a lot of haki, thus not being threatened by this power.

It's crazy how much that little bit of praise adds to the Gorosei. It also shows that they're taking Luffy seriously: "Yeah you got beat, but it was by Nika's second in command. Good job on the intel."

at 15 minutes you said that maybe someone could use luffy's imagination power. Currently Luffy believes the gorosei are invincible, what if they know how to control an aspect of luffy's power from fighting Joyboy previously?

For sure we are seeing Joyboy story soon.Giants saying they tell tales of his appearance, and laughing the whole time while fighting the Elders.

These animations you and Grecia cooked up had me dying!!! 😂🤣

gdi, im tired of people saying that it was a betrayal! ive seen tons of these little apologies in my readthrough and they read as an apology for failure not betrayal to me

Here's a theory: The ancient weapons are the 3 things closest to JoyBoy: His ship; Pluton, His wife/partner: Neptune and his sword/weapon; Uranus. And adding to that what if on Elbaf Uranus was keeped but the legend of it got a different name' Mjolnir

2:34 These clouds around Zunesha look suspiciously like the ones around Gear 5, and the black ones around transformed Gorosei. Now I'm not saying Zunesha is perminantly imprisoned within their mythical transformation and domed to stay in ocean despite whatever fruit they bare... but I'm not Not saying that either.

re: hammerspace - the baseball bat sequence reminded me of the moment where he created goggles from the gear 5 smoke

Even with Sanji's help in the last chapter, Zoro couldn't even beat Lucci in 6 months fight, now Jinbe helps him ... What a deadweight 🤣🤣🤣

Oda took break coz he wanted to think about what vegapunks message is gonna be. It might juxterpose with what ever the iron giant wants to say.

I can see Bluegrass trying to control general Franky only for Franky to unlock haki and take control from the inside of his mech

About other characters interacting with Gear 5th, that's what I think is the rule. We see that exact behavior in the prior chapter when Luffy throws Saturn and Kizaru. Kizaru while caught off guard gets tossed like a missile. Saturn "rolls with it" and treats himself like a boomerang to return right back at Luffy. In One Piece logic this is how we apply the concept that every devil fruit has a weakness, and if we apply the inspiration of cartoon physics think Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. The Road Runner is so care free that paintings on rocks or fake distractions become real.

it does remind me of stuff like Spandam's sword where you have "tools" inheriting the will of the fruit they supposedly ate (somehow), which in this case the tool in question would be the iron giant, hence why it's empty (?)

7:24 I wasn’t even thinking about it but genuinely think about it, it was kizaru who did the “kill shot” in this instance if we assume he’s actually alive. They could have set that fake out up years back, and that could be why kizaru is actually hiding his face too. Maybe he’s actually trying not to smile. Or funny apple man is just dead

56 can also be read as goro, which was the pun in major. just a coincidence as far as i see it

Thank you man on internet, for consistent injections of one piece culture administered directly into our RU-vid feeds.

It may be 5:30 am and I may be doing my bedtime routine. But this is the perfect time to watch this video.

13:41 The Pocket-Pocket Fruit having a pocket dimension with a hammer in its Hammer-Space was an excellent joke by Oda!

The intro is crazy work

Keep up the awesome work and videos Liam love the video

I think Vegapunk will be In Recycle dog. Never forget that name card this little metal dog got in the beginning.

the smoothest unintentional sponsor ever😭😭😭 4:29

Liam, you upload so consistently that because you mentioned you were going to make a video about the 3 week break that I immediately thought you already had the video out.

Liam bringing back starcraft. got to love it.

New grandline vid, let's fucking goooooo
