Doflamingos plan

Doflamingo hate the celestial dragons and Imu with a passion. Let’s dig into what he was gonna do with the Op Op fruit if he got his hands on it.

Doflamingo was planning on threatening/ using the immortality surgery to either blackmail Imu or take his immortality away.

He says he wants to use the National treasure of Mariejios to control he world itself. Let’s assume my past theory is correct in assuming that lily had the op op fruit and in a last ditch effort trapped Imu in the flower room, (go check out my lily theory if you can’t understand me).

Doflamingo was planning on either swapping bodies with Imu, or attempting to control Imu by threat of immortality nullification/ moving the room to a worse spot than the flower room. Or just destroying his flower room by inactivating the field.

He literally says that power has a very short shelf life
It rots faster than you’d believe
If you just ripped the immortality surgery off of imu he would probably begin to rot, and if you have lived for a 1000 years rotting away within 1 is a lot faster than you’d probably think.

Spiritual Sight Awakened Eyes

The Heterochromia condition characters have is a reference to eye of Rah and eye of Horus.
The goal is for these two eyes to merge solar fire (Ra's right eye) and lunar intuition (Horus's left eye) to create a perfect harmony of destructive power, protection, and healing.

“But pudding has three eyes and cyclops have only one” just tell me you aren’t schizophrenic already and move on.

Oda has big brain, crazy how the cyclops are children of Gaia “Mother Earth” very reminiscent of big mom. Right now since we are in the Norse mythology heavy arc it would be perfect timing for a figure to lose physical sight in order to gain spiritual sight. Similar or akin to Odin who sacrifices his eye in exchange for infinite knowledge and cosmic sight.

I could easily imagine a scene where perhaps pudding takes her own vision so that her devil fruit abilities cannot be abused by Blackbeard, and she inadvertently gains a power much more dangerous than her devil fruit ability through the form of her third eye awakening and gaining spiritual sight. This would allow her to read the poneglyphs which presumably is why Blackbeard kidnapped her in the first place.

Just please ask yourself do you really think Oda would stop at surface level and be like “ahh yes I will stop right here at the basic understanding that any 6th grader has about mythology and I would never dare mix mythologies like I have 100 times before”

If you are really against the idea of cyclops having more than one eye look into the Minoan/ Mycenaean stone masons, ancient tales of expert stone smiths with a third eye tattooed in their forehead.

Hmmmm stone masons , poneglyph??????
I wish I could just put everything in my brain in words easier, this makes so much sense in my head. Oda is a huge fan of lost civilizations and ancient culture, it makes perfect sense to put the original cyclops in the story opposed to the media/ bedtime story version that people who don’t understand third eye symbolism can grasp.

Pudding has three eyes, the left the moons, the right the suns. The third in the middle is the awakened or truly realized form where the two meet. She will marry Sanji and help the strawhats but is currently captured by Blackbeard. Sun and moon, perhaps she will come to the understanding that both ideologies are half truths. After seeing both sides in action and gaining an understanding of what the whole picture is she will awaken her third eye.

Blackbeard will blind Charolette Pudding to force her third eye to awaken.

The key to understanding the symbolism of the cyclops lies in the fact that it has neither a right eye nor a left eye, but only the third eye. The practical consequence of this is that the cyclops – largely thanks to his abnormal size and Odysseus’ famous trickery,4 – is often perceived as a dunce, something of a divine country bumpkin. Allow me to suggest, however, that the cyclops is far removed from your average, two-eyed, numskull. His apparent simplicity is not so much a consequence of lack, as of excess. The sin of the cyclops is not merely that his attention is unidimensional, devoid of any depth; it has importantly to do with the particular dimension along which his narrow vision operates. He is disconnected from the facts and values of “mundane life”. The cyclops compensates for this lack through being hyper-connected to his transcendent – pattern-oriented – vision. - thesymbolicworld.com

Blackbeard is in possession of a cyclops by the name of Charolette Pudding.

Lily Lily Lily all about Lily

Okay let’s establish a theory chain.

Nefertari D Lily is the ancestor of Vivi, their homeland has Egyptian themes which makes sense because nefartari sounds just like Nefertiti an ancient Egyptian queen.
Since we don’t know for sure what the D stands for let’s say for the sake of this conversation it stands for Dream.
If you look for Egyptian dream symbolism one of the first things you will find is the Blue Lotus , the Blue Lotus happens to be a Water Lily. Which is neat because Lily has blue hair, and we recently just saw what Zaza the Rain God looks like. It’s pretty crazy for this to just be a coincidence.
It’s also very coincidental the first time we see this mythical Zaza/Lily Figure it’s due to the dream/nightmare manifestations of those from the holy land.

If you made it this far I’d love for you to let me know what you think.

Okay let’s keep going, I’ve seen a lot of theory’s on youtube talking about how since Blackbeard has a unique body seemingly capable of housing multiple devil fruits. Most of these theories include speculation that his parent(s) or ancestors would be capable of the same. Let’s assume Lily is someone with a unique body like Blackbeard, what other devil fruit would fit symbolism or wordplay associated with Lily?

The ope ope no mi, is perfect. The ope ope no mi which is wanted by the world government for the perennial youth surgery. Hmmmm perennial?
Perennial is a type of flower characterized by the ability to stay alive “eternally” through its roots even when the rest of the plant is destroyed. Guess what kind of flower is a perennial, LILYS the Blue Lotus is a Water Lily, the Egyptian flower of dreams is an immortal plant!!
We know that one of the crimes Lily is guilty of has something to do with splitting up and spreading out the poneglyphs. Which theoretically could be done with the awakened ope ope no mi, perhaps in an act of defiance Lily created a huge room and teleported the poneglyphs to others on her side so they could be spread out from there. Imu deciding to kill her for this treason decides to force her to perform the perennial immortality surgery. The lily immortal surgery you could say.

Now this is gonna split into two different directions.
Direction A: the immortality surgery acts as a body swap and Imu is still in possession of Lily in some manner.

Direction B: the immortality surgery acts as a permanent area of effect that can either be placed on the volume of a person, or within the confines of a space. This would essentially be like having a “room” for permanent operation. The room is either stuck to a local or the being.

Direction A: Imu forces Lily to body swap, it kills Lily and her body is a lifeless corpse Imu puppets around in the holy land.
The figure we see fighting Luffy currently in elbaf is one of the 19 kings that willingly turned themselves over to imu essentially becoming one of 20 heads of the beast. Saint Imu Nerona refers to Nero, which many scholars belief is the antichrist referenced in revelations. (I don’t want to go there please let’s not derail the thread)

Direction B: Imu forces Lily to do the immortality surgery, thanks to him not understanding the mechanics fully she makes the flower room the immortal operation room(Lily, flower room, perennial) Instead of placing the rooms confines upon imus body she places the room on the room itself!!! The entire flower room is a perpetual youth healing safe zone where Imu is forced/ cursed to stay until her can get the next user to use the fruit on him how he wants.
This is why when Imu leaves the flower room he coughs up blood immediately, he just jumped off the operating table mid surgery and left the room. The gorosie are horrified because they know he is actively dying every second he fights in elbaf.

If you made it this far please let me know what you think, my personal headcannon is direction B.

Lilys devil fruit

Imu has the flower room, picture of Lily on the wall, lilies are a type of perennial, the immortality surgery is called the perennial youth Surgery in English but in Japanese the word Furō would imply immortality or perpetual youth.
Perennials are flowers that stay alive via their root systems even when the rest of the plant withers away. Perpetually alive even if it’s not in the way you may think.
So now that we have established the immortality youth operation allows for a connection to Lilly let’s talk about the mechanics of the fruit and how this all comes together.

So we know that laws fruit allows him to create a “room” where he can operate within it. This immortality surgery takes the users life to execute.
Let’s assume instead of just making someone immortal the move actually acts as a field of perpetual healing, like a safe zone. If you are within the confines of the operation room you will be kept alive and healed.
If we take the stance that this operation was done on or for Imu it could also be safe to assume it wasn’t by choice.
Law today doesn’t seem eager to give up his life, we could imagine if Lily had the fruit this could be a similar case.
So assuming someone was forced to perform the surgery for Imu we can assume they might have been domi reversi’d.

We just saw Gunko in a flashback while domi reversi’d spare brooks life which would be safe to say was her excepting her own will to change her actions and disobey.
I’m theorizing that Lily was forced to perform the immortality surgery on Imu in the same room that is today the flower room. While being forced to do so she set the confines of the surgery on the room itself instead of on Imu.

This final act of defiance has now essentially trapped Imu in the flower room and away from the empty throne which he wishes to sit upon full time without requiring a return to the flower room. This explains why the gorosie freak out when Imu leaves the room to go to elbaf as if he leaves the room he can actually get hurt. We see him take damage upon leaving the room, almost like he moved during surgery :)

Since perennials stay alive via the root system let’s have a little fun and say that her roots could also be her descendants, or those carrying on her Dream. Funnily enough since we know nefertari is Egyptian based let’s look for an Egyptian dream connection. Oh lookie here, the Egyptian dreaming flower the Blue Lotus, which happens to be a Water Lilly. We also know that lilys had something to do with moving the poneglyphs around, cooooooool let’s assume she can make giant room with awakening and move them super far away. Some under ground, some inside structures, some wherever and what have you.

I think I know what Devil Fruit Lily had :D

Since perennials stay alive via the root system let’s have a little fun and say that the flower room was lilies personal bedroom, where she grew up, her roots. This room is now is a field of perpetual healing where damage cannot occur, a safe zone. Her history, her story, her roots are perpetually safe in that room.

UV reactive Amber

Here is a piece of amber that I’ve recently acquired. Sadly video doesn’t do it justice like with anything I want to show off 😂. It weighs over a kilo and has a bug inside but I have failed miserably at getting any kind of good picture whatsoever.

Bonus feature of sanding and polishing this material at home is that my workshop smells like ancient tree sap now.

Check them out boyzzzz

In order from left to right we have Opal (Ethiopian) in spots A1 and A2. Tsavorite (Green Garnet) in B1, Apatite (heat treated) in B2, Spinels in spot C 1 and C2 , Ruby (great florescence) in D1, Two low quality Bi color Sapphires in D2. E1 holds a Bi color sapphire (unheated/untreated), and E2 holds two heat treated sapphires. F1-F3 contains Hessonite Garnets.

I feel like I’m so far away from opening my own booth at a gem show. Id love hear some stories from anyone who’s done it, specifically what are some of the major things you would do differently starting over today.
