kuma sent brook to a place where ppl doing some dark magic rituals
and he landed in pentagram similar to the magic circle we saw
zoro got flashback facing sommers
sanji now got flashback facing killingham
is it time for brook with shuri ?
Knowing Oda, he’s absolutely using the Zor o and Sanji action to distract us from a nuclear bomb of unexpected Void Century lore dropping in the background
I think he was a lot older than it seem, and it’s possible Imu killed him soon after because there was a replacement with a lot more potential ready.
It’s possible dude was over 150 years old ngl
In my opinion, the chest contains the missing weapon of Imu, hidden by Nefertari D. Lily.
Scenario 1 - they are defeated but they survive to play a smaller role later on
Scenario 2 - they get killed by the wings
Scenario 3 - Imu kills them himself when he thinks they’re dead weight
In my opinion, scenario 1 is unlikely considering they have already gotten so much screen time for side villains. Saturn got much less as a main arc villain and he still got the axe.
It’s between 2 and 3 in my opinion.
Imu can use it to get a temp boost but imo it’d be much better if he weakens even more because of 2 HKs death which would make his defeat more understandable (assuming he’s getting defeated)
Do admirals have a mark from Imu? Now, I'm not talking about a full Abyssal mark, but could they have a shallow sea or deep sea mark?
If they do, how would that change our perspective on the Kuzan and Sakazuki fight? Was Kuzan's mark on his leg, and if it was, did Sakazuki remove it so that Kuzan could be free? Could Sakazuki and Kuzan actually be working together to supplant the World Government by getting close to the two pillars of the opposing factions, Imu and Black Beard?
Or, is the Fleet Admiral the only Admiral that gets a mark? Maybe they did offer Kuzan the Fleet Admiral job first, but when he found out about the mark, he and Sakazuki came up with a plan.
The whole fight over the Fleet Admiral position just feels off. Why would Kuzan, who never had any ambition for promotion, care if the Gorosei wanted Akainu over him? Why would Akainu, who is a loyal dog for the Marines, go against the wishes of his superiors to fight Kuzan if they were leaning towards giving him the job?
Now think about SWORD. I do not think that Garp is the leader or creator of SWORD. It should be someone that will still play a pivotal role in the final battle or final war. Which I think Garp being a representation of the old era, would rule him out.
Was SWORD created in the fight between Kuzan and Akainu? We do not know when SWORD was created, nor do we have any information on who runs it. I think that Kuzan and Akainu created SWORD on Punk Hazard, and Akainu runs it on the Marine's side. That is why Kuzan was kind of taken aback when Koby brought it up. He probably did not realize that Sakazuki was growing the program to such an extent.
It says she runs away, but to where?
She's been in the heaven realm this whole time. The reason she's not dead is likely because time moves even slower up there and allows for people to live for a long time. She can't leave the island because time will catch up with her and she'll die.
Not sure if someone has already speculated on this but seeing the spoilers for the upcoming chapter got me thinking that Biblo and Lili could have been connected in the same way that Vivi is connected with Karoo.
Definitely hope we get some void century lore soon.
In SBS, when asked why Viola referred to Doflamingo as "Doffy", Oda responded:
"D: I love the Dressrosa arc and have read it many times... but there is one thing I don't really understand. So I sent this question to the current sbs and you. "Why did Viola and Doflamingo call each other "Doffy", "Violet" in chapter 788 "How I fight"?" What were both of them thinking of at that time back then? P.N. Fuki
O: Hm, she was dashing against the enemy. There is a deep secret setting I can't tell you about though. I informed the supervisor about it, but since it is a pretty adult part of the story it remains hidden in the shonen manga which One Piece is. To all adults, please try to imagine yourselves. Dressrosa is truly a passionate country!!"
So, what do you think is this "deep secret"? It's obviously something sexual. But what?
Considering the nature of Viola's Glare-Glare devil fruit power, Viola may be the one person in the whole world for whom I find it impossible to imagine that she could actually develop sincere romantic emotions for Doflamingo, because she should always be aware of his deepest thoughts - his true, monstrous nature. So I don't think this is a case of the Stockholm syndrom, of anything like that.
So what do you think?
I believe there are 3 powers in this world.
Haki maki and tenki.
覇気 is haki with 覇 meaning supremacy, to conquor. 気 meaning ki which is spirit.
So haki means spirit of the conqueror essentially.
It’s the manifestation of one’s will power.
魔気 means demon spirit.
As Imu explains maki is one’s desire for power, it dwells in all human beings hence why domi reversi works on everyone as all crave power, Loki and Luffy being the exception.
But I believe there is a 3rd power.
天気** **is this power, it means tenki.
Ten meaning heavenly. So heavenly spirit.
Now as this is all hypothetical i think the core of this power comes down to simple belief in one’s self to do the impossible.
If haki is one’s will power taken form maki is one’s desire for power taken form then tenki is one’s faith taken form, I don’t mean faith in gods or whatever it’s more belief you can accomplish what you desire.
If maki is one’s corruption then tenki is one’s purity.
Throughout one piece I belief we been seeing this, there are people who have strange powers not related to devil fruits,
For example, miss goldenweek, She has the power to control, people with colours, but it’s not a devil fruit she can just do that,
Brook can hypnotise people with music but that’s not his devil fruit.
This is Tenki it’s one’s personal power taken form.
Now I believe devil fruits are a product of all 2 powers,
When asked why sanji has a swirl on his eyebrows and if he was a devil fruit oda stated that power runs in circles, the earth moon and sun all spin in circles if the earth was to stop it would be covered in tidal waves. Reflect on that.
Now the fact he mentions the earth moon and sun makes me think there’s a connection to all 3,
The earth which is tied to one’s earthy desires is maki, the moon which hangs in the sky is Tenki and the sun is haki,
Devil fruits I believe came into existence from those who graved the powers granted by Tenki and maki but lacked the ability to achieve said powers on their own so devil fruits came about which was filled with the spirit is both powers which allowed humans to achieve great powers.
Haki however is one’s will power if cannot be given hence why haki is a counter to devil fruits.
You see I believe at the root of it all, maki and tenki is essentially just magic now in one piece magic is just science people can’t explain yet.
Now I think Nami is going to be heavily connected to Tenki because of this reason.
While 天気 means heavily spirit it also means weather.
If you see in the images above there does seem to be a connection between Imu and Nami,
In egghead emeth pulled out this knot of rope which pulled released a wave of joyboys haki.
This mirrors the wind knots Nami saw on weatheria.
Remember weatheria is ran by scientists studying the weather but the thing is every scientist on weatheria dresses and looks just like a typical wizard which is the balance of magic and science.
So when they showed Nami the wind knots I believe this was actually them using Tenki to summon the wind after all, how can pulling a knot summon wind ?
The 2nd image shows the similarities between Imu using his staff to summon maki eggs and Nami summoning weather eggs with her staff.
Now I believe Tenki isn’t just wind powers it can be manifested in other ways and I think Sanji is also connected to it as remember his mother name is sora which means sky and I believe zoro is connected to maki as his mother name is tera which means earth.
But I want to focus on Nami.
You see Nami I believe will be connected to this power and this comes in relation to Zaza who is the rain goddess and of course I think Zaza is the embodiment of Tenki.
There have been many times when Nami is referred to as a goddess and usopp even calls her a witch.
I think Nami is already efficient at Tenki but she still hasn’t truly grasped the concept of it yet and when she does her power over the weather will be on a whole new scale
Hi, I just want to share a relation I found about the origins of Imu and our real life ancient mythology.
I was reading about the ancient semitic gods, and some of y'all may know the name of Baal, nowadays related to a pagan god for ancient israelites/semites. I found some similarities with Imu sama that may be interesting to y'all, so I'm gonna list them, and of course it would be great if some of you had more similarities to share.
\- To begin with, Baal was the most important god in its circle, directly compared to Zeus, king of all, just like Imu.
\- In the akkadian language, this god's name was "An. Im", An meaning god, and Im being his name and his powers/capabilities.
\- One of the most interesting things, his powers: Baal, or An Im, was the god of rain, thunder and storms, capable of making crops grow with his rains, but also heavily feared for his destructive storms and floodings. Just like Zeus, he had to kill the god of the sea to become the greatest god above all else. I relate this to Imu and the big flood we know happened in the world of one piece, or the destruction of Lulusia by some kind of lightnings coming from the sky, just like a storm.
\- To end with this, Baal or An Im is usually represented with horns, or as a bull, just like Imu's later design reveal, showing horns like a bull or demon (just as Baal, who is usually considered as a pagan god or demon).
These are the similarities that i found, and if someone has more info about this, it would be really cool to see more similarities and theorize about all this, as we all know Oda loves ancient history amd taking inspiraton from it!
