I love giving my players seemingly semi-useless items like a compass with an eye that looks instead of points. An indestructible retractable name badge with a 50lb capacity. Man-Scout badges for babysitting that allows the wearer to use baby speak to give advantage against fear. And another that turned any felled tree instantly into a canoe.

I may have topped myself last night with the POTION OF LASSO!

A potion that while in the bottle looks like it's filled with a clear liquid but when poured out it becomes a rope.

My players unfortunately didn't bite and instead went for the potion of Momentary Dyslexia (which I totally get)

Although no one bought the Potion of Lasso it was a hilarious subject of conversation for much of the night. I'm still cracking myself up about it.

At the time I made it up on the spot but I've been pondering on what uses could the PoL have? Besides getting someone to maybe choke on rope? 😂 Maybe it just being rope is enough 😆

Your wise insight on this potions potential is most welcome

- Luffy has 2 more power-ups. One in the form of strength/technique like when he gained Haki. The second will come when he eats the Mother Flame.

- Luffy's dream is to have a party with everyone in the world, and he'll achieve it by Buggy reuniting the continents, but I feel like this will be the new Reverie where the continents come together every X years to celebrate the PK.

- The man marked by flames is the Fishman with flame-like hair in the Rocks flashback.

- There have been so many themes around making people, be it Pacifistas, Germa soldiers, Sanji and his brothers, VP and his satellites, and Saturn's experiments on Bonnie. I feel like it has to culminate into something, either Imu being some sort of body-jumper needing a strong form to continue on, or the Gov trying to replace people after they flood the world and erase existing humanity.

- Buggy is a clone but considered a failure, as he didn't end up looking 100% like the original, like the pink dragon fruit vs. the original. I believe he is a clone of Rocks.

- Luffy has forced his body to do incredible things like pumping his blood fast and putting air in his bones. Yes, I think the fruit assists with this, but I think his buccaneer body plays a larger part than we realize.

- IMU's body is a terminator/creation or some sort of alien. He keeps saying, "Take me to your leader," and I can't tell if he is actually aware of it, like it's some sort of prime directive.

- I think IMU is less the body and more the black cloud thing. I believe it to be a manifestation of a Will. I can see something funny like it's the will of Aman. "Aman's Will will never die."

- The One Piece will be multiple things, including a one-piece bathing suit. Nami's final form 😂

- BB gained Saturn's form, so he won't come to Elbaf. He's going straight to MJ and the flower room or back to Impel Down. Maybe Lv 6 and beyond is a secret path to get into MG, and that's how Rocks did it.

- Elbaf experiences time differently. It is slower than the outside world, which will give all the remaining players plenty of time to level up. However, at the very top, time moves faster, giving the team a hyperbolic time chamber experience.

- Joyboy looks like Shanks (but has a red nose)

- Sanji can use Maki. He has Conquer's Maki

- Zoro is going to put Luffy in his place. Luffy has been too chaotic and lax since Wano, and Zoro sees it.

- Zunesha is Binks.

- Katakuri's tats were inspired by Loki's tats

- Smoker and Dragon were friends when they were coming up in the Marines.

- Garp/Smoker will "defeat" Akainu. I put that in quotes because I believe he'll end up helping in the final fight.

- Big Mom will return thin and hot.

- Big Mom pirates join Luffy's forces.

- Rocks is alive and is being Soldier Boy'd in MJ, stored in some sort of tank. He didn't have a DF, I believe, and he's a Buccaneer, so I'm sure his body alone is valuable to the WG.

- When we leave Elbaf, the bridges will be completed.

- Laugh Tale is a place where everyone shows up at the same time regardless of when you arrive. You don't need to rush because you get there when you're supposed to.

- If Loki dies, which would be awesome, Rakir 🐿️ will be the final crew member, plus Vivi.

- Davy Jones was a Fishman. I believe Joy Boy had to betray him, as what he wanted would have cost many lives. It's also why there is Fishman racism.

- Luffy was the first boy born of the Kuja clan.

- The WG killed Luffy's mom. Much like Queen Otohime, she begged Dragon not to influence their son with his hate, so he left Luffy behind.

- I believe in the first world, aliens, Gods, etc. all lived in harmony before the fire nati... before some sort of fallout, possibly over resources.

- Akainu and Kizaru are from the House of Lambs

- The D is for Dawn.

- Luffy will lose his eye

- The Sunny is going to get an upgrade. The 100,000 Sunny. But I also think the current Sunny is going to be damaged / destroyed

- Sengoku's goat is a living weapon

- Part of me thinks if we do gain a member we might actually exceed 10 and get closer to 12 or 16. Including Lilith, Kuma, Yamamoto, Carrot, etc for the final arc/voyage (10m/6f?)

- Caribou is a revolutionary

- Aokiji is undercover

- Brook is going to die to save a SH. I don't think Brook will see Laboon again.

- Nika has a dark side/evil version or was claimed by someone who used it for evil.

- Zou was a hint at the original Kingdom's monarchy.

- The waters are rising because Davy Jones has been crying for 800+ years at the bottom of the sea. My dumbest called shot.

- Laboon is a key player for the end game.

- Garling will take over the WG and replace or eliminate IMU.

- St. Mars will turn on WG/IMU/Garling.

- Celestial Dragons are the real evil. The WG is bad but not true evil. I believe their truth is much more grey and the original intent was meant to be good. Like a form of checks and balances.

- My biggest, greatest called shot... The egg on Roger's ship wasn't a dragon. It's going to be something random like a baby Oars or Morgan. He can't fly because he was raised by humans.

Things I know won't happen but I'd love to explore:

- Usopp dies. Yassop joins the SH as their new sniper. This would be an interesting way to explore a father inheriting the will of his son.

- Shanks, Shamrock and Garling have a 3 prong plan to take over the world. Shanks is part of that plan but he does love Luffy and owe him for liberating him from his pact.

- King joins the SH

- Franky gets S-blood

- Usopp gets Kuma's fruit OR because Bonnie gained her powers through osmosis (or something) she can eat his fruit.

- Dragon is extremely emotional and a huge softy

- #2 Joins Cross Guild and eventually the SH

- Nefertari had a red nose
