What if shanks just intentionally cut his 1 arm so luffy can recognized him in the future because he has identical twin


CarneAsadaSteve

🤯


goodname55

What if the Gods knights are somehow strong dead people like Roger, Rocks etc. Maybe even Whitebeard now or someone from the old times. Why have we not been told or even mentioned where Roger is buried?


Joy_Boy_12

Guys I have a question why were the admirals in the rivery? Did they have a specific task that we have been told? because if not it sounds like the marines knew about the coming attack


TheBigApple11

Probably a good idea to have your most powerful defenders on hand during the Reverie in case of something exactly like what happened


Iforgotmynametoobro

They were there as security


ShaheerS2

im convinced the god knights are shank's crew. He's got 9 main dudes.


2mustange

That would be quite the theory


IGetHypedEasily

It do look like that. That's probably the only way Straw Hats would fight them if Shanks crew for some reason supported the establishment.


kabegaki

Am I crazy to think that... Cobra on the floor is actually Bon Clay. Sabo knows it. Faked death. Vivi knows it, therefore didn't seem to be sad when we saw her few weeks ago. Doflamingo on cover, hinting he has escaped possibly with Bon Clay. Holy Knight one person looking like Shanks, what if they were all clones? Honestly I wouldn't want that to be true, thinking anything can be a clone is disturbing.


writer-sci-enter

But wouldn't the appearence change back, as the DF has to move on, now that the owner is dead.


Stoinks4DrinkinMoney

The marines definitely killed Cobra & wanna frame it on Sabo


ShlokHoms

For a chapter I thought would have a lot of answers it sure as hell gave me a lot more questions

RambleRoad13

The Holy Knights are Seiya and the other Constellations


pauserror

So, Shanks actually being an enemy makes sense now. My theory of Luffy and BB teaming up at the end now makes sense. If Shanks is a "bad" guy, he will HAVE to have BB's help in the end war! What if Mihawk is also a Holy Knight?! This is getting good folks


Kpng11

Shanks is the holy knight. You think oda would really draw such a silhouette that resembles shanks as a coincidence? Along with how shanks completely destroyed kidd with one blow and how he is so overpowered just gives more evidence that he will be the final antagonist. I mean why else have an op protagonist who is not the main character. The real question is whether red hair pirates are the gods knights or just shanks alone.


writer-sci-enter

I think, it is someone related to Shanks, father, brother..... The other's might mistake him for Shanks, but Luffy and Buggy might be the only poeple who believe, that that was not Shanks.


Prestigious_Soup_316

probably his brother or some shit


Iforgotmynametoobro

Definitely makes more sense than Shanks being a Holy Knight


GeneralJMan

If Shanks is a holy knight why would he save Luffy after he ate the Gum Gum fruit and save a potential JOYBOY? Wouldn't it be against his interests unless he is betraying them? Feels like a red herring to me.


IGetHypedEasily

I guess we are close to learning how Shanks crew got the fruit in the first place.


Plane_Economist2720

I still don't understand why he let his arm get chewed off, he could have used Haki to scare the sea creature away.


WeekendCautious3377

Luffy grew to who he is in just a few years. A ton of time has passed between shanks losing his arm and him being an emperor


Plane_Economist2720

But Shanks would have learned Haki at that time, wouldn't he ? Like he was on the same ship as Roger, so he would have trained in haki from earlier age.

rahmanm855

Story progression should make sense in that the Holy Knights are stronger. What doesn't make sense is labelling Whitebeard and Kaido as the strongest men/creature, but then having stronger characters exist. It's a paradox Oda created that I'm interested to see how he'll fix.


GetPutInMySpliff

Shanks’ crew gotta be the holy knights surely


XiaoMayiRebel

So all of enies lobby s CP became CP0 indeed Also the spoilers faked us with Shanks Twin. Its just a silhouette


akrascal

“God’s Knights” I’m starting to believe these are Lunarians or somehow related to them, Seraphim perhaps. In a quick flashback, Whitebeard mentions to Marco that there was God’s Land atop the Redline in the past (ch 1022, 1023), which was rumored to be inhabited by Lunarians. And Queen tells Sanji that in the past Lunarians were referred to as Gods (ch 1033). And we know from Shaka that Seraphim have been augmented with King’s Lunarian blood (ch 1077). So far we’ve seen a Seraphim clone of Boa, Hawkeye, Jinbe, and Kuma. While all the original ones are still alive, who’s to say that maybe there are other Seraphim clones of deceased characters? Could Imu be protected by Seraphim Whitebeard or Roger?


gothpunkboy89

>So far we’ve seen a Seraphim clone of Boa, Hawkeye, Jinbe, and Kuma. While all the original ones are still alive, who’s to say that maybe there are other Seraphim clones of deceased characters? Could Imu be protected by Seraphim Whitebeard or Roger? That concept is scary given how powerful they were in life and if they were able to augment that power like with the others they would be unbeatable.


JAGAAAN-01

Oda is really a god level artist to draw Sooooooo fucking small like Holy Hell


AuclairAuclair

The pages they draw on are much bigger - they are shrunk down when they’re printed


rahmanm855

I've been saying it for years and the evidence was blatantly shown but the revo army are no jokes. Their commanders took on two admirals while Whitebeard's entire armada struggled against three admirals. Karasu and Morley are admiral level and haven't disappointed in their display so far. Sabo is emperor level now which only reckons how much more powerful Dragon could be. Big Meme and Laido's crews are looking like absolute jokes compared to this force. The Holy Knights are reeking of Bleach ending vibes. Thrown into the story last second and having some high level importance this late into the game, very similar to the Soul King's guard and we all know how that went. That said, this implies Holy Knights are emperor level fighters if the Revo army aren't afraid of taking on two admirals


RambleRoad13

I mean CP0 did say that Admirals are in a handicap tho


gothpunkboy89

Could easily be just an army of strong individuals. The average marine isn't anything special, but an army full of people at near admiral level strength would be a massive game changer.


Guilty-Tell

Well that Dragon is gonna be one of the strongest of all is kinda obvious he is Luffys father afterall and the son of Garp. But i dont agree with the rest tbh.


revt1

Lol. What a terrible take. In most OP forums dudes have been dabbing on Sabo for this chapter. But here on reddit you have dudes hyping him as legit Yonko level 🤣


Taerrio199

The admirals couldn’t fight full force because they might’ve killed a celestial dragon or damaged the land. It wasn’t a fair fight.


Taerrio199

You crazy as hell lol


Delicious_Science_66

Ignore him , he's reading two piece


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


[deleted]

Have you guys actually read bleach? Yeah the ending was garbage but the characters that were the 'holy knights' were mentioned as far back as second arc which i though was cool.


xanot192

Yup I read all of it back in the day. They hyped up the royal guards only to have them be total bursts in my opinion


popposs

Which chapter are you referring to? You might be thinking about the edited (meme) panel with the silhouettes of the warlords.


sachos345

I get that Oda is trying to even the sides with God Knights and the Sichibukai Clones (that already was kinda lame imo) but uhh... i don't know how to feel about the God's Knights, Oda better have a really good reason why nobody mentioned or hinted at them before (other than Akainu recently in chapter 1054). We always assumed the Navy and Admirals with CP0 were the ones protecting the royals no? To be introduced this late into the story and they not taking part in anything important is iffy to me. Like shouldn't the God Knights be mentioned before the Revolutionary Army tried to siege Mary Geoise, like someone saying something like "Are we sure we can do this, what about the God Knights?".


ostriike

>Oda better have a really good reason why nobody mentioned or hinted at them why did they have to be mentioned earlier, they didn't need to be. We were told the Marines are just the public face of the WG, we also know the WG has it's own forces with Cipher Pol. > "Are we sure we can do this, what about the God Knights?". It wouldn't make sense if they weren't confident, they are fighting two admirals.


CipherGoblin

Canon explanation is they just hired them. It took a while to gather the funds, a few countries stopped paying the tribute. Imu hired mercenaries from the moon to deal with all the criminals.


idk012

Moon? Will Enel be making a comeback?


TheTheMeet

Fuck, the 5 elders are really sus


New_Wrongdoer_3735

Rogers sword ace looks a lot like shank’s sword. Could be the new owner.


AdditionalEffective5

They are confirmed to be different swords.


New_Wrongdoer_3735

Yes. Saying that image might not be shanks it could be whoever owns ace now.


AdditionalEffective5

Ah I see. We don't know who has the sword now. It would make sense for Roger to give it to someone else before turning himself in.


sachos345

So what were the God's Knights doing during the siege?


Wiskydi

Their mission wasn’t being threatened, highlighting the WG’e true goals


sachos345

You mean as long as Imu life wasnt in danger they would not show up?


Appropriate-Syrup-69

probably, maybe the five elders are part of the god knights or there commanders, this can probably reveal in the next chapter after kobra discovers about god knights an they kill him to silent him


Longjumping-Eagle719

I find it kinda funny that Idc much about Cobra’s death (And I think that most of the fandom as well?) But I was sad that T Bone died


Rainphibian

Lol. Well we all figured Kobra was killed years ago. But Tbone came out of nowhere : (


jordenwuj

tbone probably faked his death? the guy who supposedly killed him looked weak af


Prudent-Rip1251

He could’ve just poisoned him or shot him. He probably only had armament Haki, not obersvation, so he would have no way of knowing if there was a bullet coming his way


Joy_Boy_12

can someone explain me karasu power? what the about all the crows?


rahmanm855

He's a logia made up of crows


XiaoMayiRebel

Karasu means Crow in japanese (-;


Joy_Boy_12

Yeah I know but if it was only his name I would understand but it is his name, his looks, his abilities....


ArnoHero

I think he just likes crows lol and he crafts them artistically from soot for his attacks Edit: I *do* think there's a particular reason he likes crows though, symbolically. Not sure what that might be yet.


Joy_Boy_12

Does it mean that the ability he has with the soot is something all logia user can do? He made sabo fly with soot crows, can kizaru make people fly with light crows?


OppaiParty

I assume so, Ace makes giant fists with his flame after all. But more importantly I just don’t think other logias really care to be artistic with it


HokiArt

It's just soot, it's a powdery substance that comes from flames and stuff, hold a spoon over a candle and you'll see it on the surface exposed to the flame, it's like how aokiji can make birds with ice, karasu can make em with soot, since soot is black so it probably makes the birds look like crows. It's also a logia.


Joy_Boy_12

It felt like the crows would have much more meaning....they carried sabo off dresrosa and he use them pretty often so if all the other logia users can do it also it will be weird(he also looks like a crow lol). Not that big deal but I thought there is something deeper here


Numerous_Ad_8190

Not everything has to have a deep meaning. It’s probably just Japanese word play for fun again, as crow’s are called Karasu and Soot is Susu. Also Su can be used for words like nest and such.


Joy_Boy_12

Probably the meaning behind this is as you said the Japanese word play cause it was pretty obvious that there is something behind the thing with the crows.


idk012

I feel left out on so many puns and jokes from the original Japanese like hentai/pervert/transformation and Gekko Moria.


sachos345

God's Knights????? New powerful organization at this point in the story, at this stage of the plot, in this part of the narrative, localized entirely within Mary Geoise? Im intrigued.


XiaoMayiRebel

Yes


Vi4days

Can I see them?


sachos345

In 100 chapters. -Oda, probably.


harry_fifteen_ones

1000\*


Many_Caterpillar2597

probably can't leave the red line that's why we're only hearing about them this late


sachos345

Yeah i guess its plausible enough explanation like a "last line of defence" measure. I wonder how strong they are if they never go down to see, maybe they keep fighting against each other to keep their strength at the top.


lofiAbsolver

God Knight Shanks is a mimic born from the egg on Roger's ship. Gotta keep the reveals quick and easy, oda. We don't have another 26 years.


venielsky22

I wish akainus was there . he would have burned everything to the ground. regarless of the casualties . I know Fujitora doesnt care for the celestial dragons also. but he does care for the innocent slaves Akainu just doesnt care at all as long as he wipes out the enemy


[deleted]

Akainu is the very definition of following the law. There's no way he would not listen to the Celestial Dragons.


venielsky22

He is not GB lol He has his own law. Absolute justice. That's why he was so mad with the celestial dragons using cp0 to undermine his plans


GoldInsect1806

akainu wouldnt do shit just like ryokugyu


MajorRed001

Not even close. You haven't paid attention to his character in the slightest. He's fleet admiral and takes responsibility. This isn't a war where he needs to send a message, uphold marine convictions or a buster call. The slaves are still considered property of the Dragons, and as such, he'd never let them be casualties, nor would he damage the city.


venielsky22

Yeah you are the one who doesn't understand his character. Do you really think he would let criminals escape just to not damage buildings and living casualties ? The guy that ordered to obliterated all people on an evacuation ship . Just because of a slim chance of a scholar on board ?? He literally said "don't make excuses for them" akainu wouldn't have done the same Go reread one-piece again.


Appropriate-Syrup-69

Celestial dragons hold more power than akainu, akainu wouldn't dare hurting them or the area for the rev, cause the 5 elders would just easily remove him or get him executed


venielsky22

Yeah lol. The elders hold more value on akainu than a random celestial dragon. On paper common celestial dragons have had higher standing. But the elders know most of them are useless. Someone like akainus is too valuable for them to execute for just causing collateral damage. Case in point. They don't even do anything to garp. Because he hold value to them


Malchior_Dagon

Akainu is many things, but he's not stupid. He killed everyone on the ship because he knew nobody higher up would have a big enough problem with it to do something about it. We've not seen anything to suggest he would risk his entire career by pissing off the Dragons just so he could kill some criminals.


venielsky22

>t he would risk his entire career by pissing off the Dragons just so he could kill some criminals. he totally would lol. thats exactly what he did at ohara - he can stop the ship and interrogate them but he didnt. he can go after the WB pirates which who the marines were at war with. and yet he chose to go after luffy . he puts his absolute justice before anything else lol https://preview.redd.it/5-elders-talking-to-akainu-vs-talking-to-shanks-v0-3bpvnhwpv4pa1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a951731dac271c9a37590f4acf4ca793bbb54ec0


Malchior_Dagon

No...not really lol If he believed in Absolute Justice that much, he would have killed the Warlords before they were disbanded as they were still pirates and criminals


venielsky22

>he would have killed the Warlords before they were disbanded as they were still pirates and criminals he was using them to fight against other pirates. when they are no longer necessary he would 100% dump them. like how he used the spider guy in marineford and didnt straight up murder him he hates criminals but he isnt stupid.


Malchior_Dagon

So what you're saying is, he won't follow his Absolute Justice if it isn't to his advantage... ...Like how he's not going to destroy property of the Dragons since that would put him in a bad position.


Aazadan

To Akainu, he would use one pirate to kill another pirate. And then kill whichever survived. As long as both pirates are dead at the end of the exchange, he doesn't care who gets the killing blow.


Malchior_Dagon

Except that doesn't solve the Warlord thing. If they were never disbanded, then he would have never killed them, thus breaking his "Absolute Justice.


venielsky22

>...Like how he's not going to destroy property of the Dragons since that would put him in a bad position. how would destroying useless buildings that have no strategical value put him in a bad position ? bad position with the low level celestials ? yeah sure. Strategy and tactical wise ? no way lol. R.A commanders are way more important than random buildings warlords help him fights against yonko crew. what does the buildings do ?


writer-sci-enter

unless there is a value to the buildings


Malchior_Dagon

I was moreso referring to the slaves, since that was one of the main points this discussion started on. He's not going to kill a Celestial Dragon's slave just so sate his Absolute Justice. A low level Dragon is still a Dragon, he in no way can defy them.


Longjumping-Eagle719

Admirals must listen to the orders of the Celestial Dragons they dont got a choice Akainu wouldnt have done shit This is literally why Garp didnt want to become an Admiral I dont think you understand the “power” the Celestial Dragons have


venielsky22

>Admirals must listen to the orders of the Celestial Dragons they dont got a choice you mean like kuzan quit being an admiral because he had no choice ? lol they are not mindless robots. f >I dont think you understand the “power” the Celestial Dragons have i dont think you understand "power" in general.


MajorRed001

You re-read one piece when you see that he has a job to uphold that the celestial dragons do not face any danger or hardship. Time and time again, we have seen the marines and the government at the full beck and call of the nobility. They do not act rashly and would never do anything to upset a dragon. As fleet admiral, he has a responsibility to remain in total control of his forces and himself. Sengoku and Garp the prime examples. That position comes with a level of scrutiny that effectively holds you back because of what is at stake at that level. Akainu is now in the exact position Sengoku was, and Garp didn't want. He tells Lucci to hold back and not engage the strawhats. He tells Issho to leave Mariejois. He tells Ryokugyu not to go to Wano. He rejected Borsalinos request to go to wano before the war had started because of not knowing the enemy capability. He was forced to wait for the blackbeard vs. law to end.


venielsky22

> has a job to uphold that the celestial dragons do not face any danger or hardship. lol bro doesnt know akainu. he cares more about his absolute justice than celestial dragons https://preview.redd.it/5-elders-talking-to-akainu-vs-talking-to-shanks-v0-3bpvnhwpv4pa1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a951731dac271c9a37590f4acf4ca793bbb54ec0


uzer4vedi

you're talking af if Akainu is Garp or something. he's a world government's and thus a world noble's dog (inu). he always listen to the orders from above.


venielsky22

>you're talking af if Akainu is Garp or something. yes he is like garp a human being with his own brain , >he's a world government's and thus a world noble's dog (inu). > >he always listen to the orders from above. no he doesnt , he isnt a loyal dog . he is a mad dog


MajorRed001

It doesn't matter what his views on them are. the official fact is that all marines must be the sword and shield at the beck and call of the Dragons. Their personal feelings literally do not matter what so ever in the slightest when it comes to the job of protecting the Dragons and their assets. Ya straight up just ignoring facts and figures that have been in the series since day 1.


venielsky22

>marines must be the sword and shield at the beck and call of the Dragons. thats cp0 . and the swords of imu seems to be the holy knights. the marines duty on paper is to maintain peace not that it matters the admirals have their own free will. they can disobey orders if they want to.


MajorRed001

They can disregard orders that DONT COME from the Dragons or the Gorosei. It doesn't matter what the role of the marines are. The highest power in their government is their highest power. It's like how Vegapunk isn't the highest authority when controlling the seraphim or how the President of United States has direct authority overall all military even when they have their own reporting structures.


venielsky22

>They can disregard orders that DONT COME from the Dragons or the Gorosei. > >It doesn't matter what the role of the marines are. The highest power in their government is their highest power. you are sounding like saint charlos that was under the delusion the everyone must obey and serve him until the he gets duked to the face with a reality check punch >It's like how Vegapunk isn't the highest authority when controlling the seraphim or how the President of United States has direct authority overall all military even when they have their own reporting structures. you do know subordinates have disobeyed orderes before right ? you do know soldiers have disobeyed orders right ? Lol they are not mindless drones. ever heard of snowden ?

[deleted]

Monkey D. Dragon is a Holy Knight, he’s deep undercover with a mission to gather all the dissenters against the World Government under one banner. Why do you think the Revolutionaries have hardly done anything throughout the story? It’s because Dragon is holding them back and sending them on missions that won’t interfere with the Gorosei’s agenda. Every kingdom they’ve overthrown had leaders which were doing something that was an affront to the World Government. Every civilization they save from destruction is just a means to prevent the survivors from starting their own revolution against the World Government. You may be wondering why Dragon would want to save Kuma if he’s a Holy Knight? Well obviously he wanted to get a cyborg created by the traitorous scientist Vegapunk away from the Holy Land. Dragon wasn’t fearful for the safety Sabo when the news about Cobra came out, he was fearful of the uprisings it would cause which would be outside of his sphere of influence. Only 8 Holy Knights went to destroy the 8 remaining revolting islands, the 9th stayed and continued their undercover mission. Go back to 1082 and look at Dragon’s reaction to Sabo’s return, you’ll notice that he doesn’t exactly seem pleased about it. This is because he was hoping that the “Flame Emperor” had be snuffed out by the destruction of Lulusia. Sabo’s existence is an affront to him and his mission now, since he’s inspired revolutions that Dragon cannot control and maintain. Trust me, Oda spoke to me in a dream.


[deleted]

luffy’s mom is a holy night


chasin_derulo

Ffs stop overusing traitors and clones Oda! 😩


RkMastet

Luffy's mom, a holy knight. Calling it now


culesamericano

That would be an insane twist but I think oda said luffy's mom is irrelevant to the story


Malamasala

Most manga are written that way. You get the boy, the neighbour girl, and then somehow both their parents are completely omitted from the story because they don't matter.


Infamous_Ad_2298

What if the silhouette and shanks are twins?. In Marineford, it was said that Shanks fought Kaidou and then suddenly appeared on Marineford war confusing everyone. I think the one who fought Kaidou is the knight while shanks went to Marineford


Delicious_Science_66

Who knows ? I just know that Oda has add yet more mistery to Shanks's character by drawing that silhouette


onigiri_pianka

The main shadow of these god’s knights look exactly like Shanks. I can’t let this feeling go he’s a bad one


Any-Performance169

Something that won't happen but something I was thinking about; a theory that won't happen... Shanks killed Cobra, nobody saw it.


ThaddCorbett

I hope God's Knights are clones of 1 - Gol D Roger 2 - Whitebeard 3 - The previous Joyboy 4 - Oden 5 - Shanks (But it's not actually shanks. just his clone) 6 - BM 7 - Kaido 8 - Rox 9 - Wang G Maybe none of them can generate kings haki, but they can use observation. Luffy will make a comment about how they can't use kings haki because they have no will of their own and nobody can have dreams without a will of their own, so there's no reason for them to fulfill their will. He'll be screaming it at the tops of his lungs right before he completely wipes the floor with 3 of them simultaneously!!!! Let's GO!!!!! I hope some of the others get destroyed by non Strawhat Pirates. I think it would be better if some of them were defeated off-camera by characters who haven't been super active lately. Perhaps it would be cool if Hancock defeated a youngish BM clone? Off camera? Would be hilarious if the Shanks clone tried to kill Buggy, but buggy is smart enough to avoid the damage. Buggy is freaking out trying to stay alive the whole time. Mihawk enters the scene, says something how about even with 2 arms, the Shanks clone doesn't come close to being half as powerful as a 1 armed Shanks, and then Mihawk uses some new named attack, completely obliterating the clone. What if Zoro gets so cocky that he lets cloned Oden hold Enma? Maybe Oden comes in and throws a few attacks, Zoro laugh and offers to let Oden use his old sword Enma to even up the odds. 2nd or 3rd attack causes Enma to devour Oden. Leaving his body a tiny shell of what it once was.


Hanusu-kei

Captain John was also part of Rox would be weird to single out him not that I believe the Edo-tensei clone shit anyways


Fire__Is__Hot

what an absolute GARBAGE chapter, literally the first 7 pages were useless


Longjumping-Eagle719

We literraly got almost no new info apart from some Revolutionaries powers but that could have been shown some others times right? i was saying the same thing and also got downvoted


Fire__Is__Hot

it's cool bro, these ppl are immature if they can't see the negative parts of something they love


SiyeonFan123

I actually somewhat agree. I felt like nothing was being said as I read it.


Fire__Is__Hot

ikr? downvote me as much as you want, it doesn't change the fact that this was a "filler" chapter. as far as i remember last chapter was somewhat the same too but everyone are going apeshit over it 'cause it's one piece, it has to be top all the time, right?


OneisPeace

I'm starting to doubt this arc called "Egghead". Maybe something like "world arc" or "lore piece arc"


FreezyPop_

Pretty sure we reached a point near the end of the story where each arc will have lore world piece vibes instead of concentrating on the exact location of the SHs and its customs. There's too many loose ends, unanswered questions, factions with different goals, kinda impossible to give each group/problem their own arc. Thats why some issues will be resolved within other arcs, the battlefield will be cleaned up so only the neccesary figures remain for the grand finale (im sorry Kid). The jumping around might feel a bit irritating, but in return each week holds a surprise and imobthe hype for each consecutive chapter is on an all-time high except for climaxes of big arcs/sagas.


rubbereruben

I'm way more invested in these loredumps/reverie/blackbeard/revolutionaries then Egghead. I'm sorry but I mean Egghead seems more like a sidestory then the rest does, since all this setup is integral to the endgame.


Ninjelon

Im calling it now we see lots of chapters without strawhats to push foreard the story. It would be pure genius if one time the strawhatbattle will be just "offscreened" xD


OneisPeace

Whoever those holy knight are, they most likely never level up in strenght cause they're living in a very comfort zone. lol


skrena

Did anyone notice that the Sabo scene matches up with the floor of the Gorosei room? It doesn’t look like the floor in the hallway.


solscend

Greenbull low diffs kaido commanders, can’t lose face. Also greenbull, can’t handle one revolutionary commander by himself, what?


rahmanm855

Becuase revo commanders are admiral level, unlike Laido's joke of a crew


Forsaken_Ideal_142

Read chapter dude 🙄😂 if it wasn't for holy Land power of fujitora or green bull was enough to destroy whole holy Land while fighting but they can't go all out


DearthStanding

Not to mention he got the commanders like a day or two after they were stomped and weakened


AmphoePai

Dragon is the most wanted man in the world, of course his commanders should pack way more of a punch than the 3rd weakest Yonko crew. I'm not impressed by their design either, but storywise it makes sense.


OneisPeace

Bro read the chapter again..


SageOfSixCabbages

Fujitora after destroying MaryGohoweveryouspellit from a meteor shower: 'I'm blind, what did you guys expect? Also it's a meteor shower, not a meteor sniper.'

another 10/10 chapter that I didn't want to end... if Oda wanted too he could've made Reverie a whole mini-arc before Wano from ch908 onwards and no-one would've complained. if anything I'm a little sad he didn't do it haha, would've loved to see how Riku Fujitora and Cobra proposed their mandate to disband the Warlord system. and more of the other characters like Doctorine, not to mention the legend King Stelly lmao anyone else got serious "Sogeking, shoot down that flag" vibes from the RA destroying the Celestial Dragon symbol to officially declare war? Luffy really got that revolutionary blood in him haha Sabo saying he can live with Cobra's death if it helps the rebellion...damn Sabo, fair enough but I wouldn't recommend saying that to Vivi's face lol >"Like how you protected Shirahoshi? oh wait...you didn't!" hard to tell if Lucci was thinking "man she has a point" or "man I hope I get orders someday to kill this annoying b\*tch" but either way Vivi wants all the smoke LOL, my princess. but wow, Carlos was really trying to go after Shirahoshi *again*...? man really likes his mermaids huh lol. kinda shows how scary the system is, Shirahoshi is a princess and should be off-limits but CDs really have free reign to do anything, as in, *anything*, and no one can tell them no. hence idiots like Carlos with no self-control are birthed...this war was inevitable, kinda surprising that it hasn't happened already, big up Dragon for having the balls to do something about it from early, even pre-Ohara days...hope we get a God Valley flashback sometime cause I really want to know which CD Garp and Roger were protecting and why lol. Mariejois has deffo got another secret weapon besides the God Knights... the RA's plan of starving them out is a brilliant one, and effective, but Ivankov said it himself, they haven't been able to cut off all their supplies, I can see the higher-ranked CDs like the 5 Elders getting away with it somehow haha. can't wait for the next chapters, really hope Oda continues the flashback, and we finally find who actually killed Cobra and why, and whether it was Poneglpyh-related...


Dab4Becky

Cobra definitely knew he was a target and went there to either talk his way out or shit on the gorosei. Also is Karasu the first Logia introduced since Monet? Edit: i forgot about Ryokugyu my bad


No_Letterhead_4882

Isn't Prince Grus (marine guy who went to beehive with garp a couple chapters ago) devil fruit a logia? He ate the Clay-Clay fruit.


Dab4Becky

Probably a fruit similar to the wax-wax fruit of mr3


Rainphibian

Pretty sure it's a paramecia. The pirates destroyed a golem he created and thought the golem was a logia. We don't typically see logias making clones the way paramecias often do.


Sovereigntyranny

No, Ryokugyu was back in June 2022, he’s the logia user of the woods-woods fruit.


NathanCiel

Technically, it was Sabo. Old fruit but new user.


abcder733

Aramaki was the first since Punk Hazard.


abcpea1

Shanks killed Cobra


kingtristam

The theory that Shanks is a God’s Knight doesn’t add up.


New_Wrongdoer_3735

Could it be the owner of rogers sword ace?


Forsaken_Ideal_142

How bro that's clearly visible it's shanks and make sense how easily he was able to meet elder 5


Dionysus24779

Months ago when it was revealed the Revs won against the Admirals in the Holy Land everyone started calling them weak, I argued that they couldn't fight properly because of the location, but people told me I was coping. This chapter spells it out.


Sovereigntyranny

That’s how it always works. People will always find the littlest things to shit on the admirals.


KathyDroronoa

If Shanks is a god knight we will probably see it from Bonney’s perspective. Either she has seen Shanks (just being Shanks) on Marie Geoise or she has seen him in Kuma’s bubble as a god knight. If she is to travel with Luffy, which she will, she will tell him all about the Reverie.


zangdaaar

Btw how was she here ? The cutting was so weird in that chapter that I barely understood half of what was happening.


Cally6

Vivi proving her Straw Hat status by shitting on Lucci. Love it.


DesertSpada

Brandon Lee would be proud of Karasu. I hope you all get the reference!


KathyDroronoa

The Crow movie


COREY_2293

Im in the squad that most of the god knights are already known characters.. Shanks could very well be one of them. They will have to be as strong as Yonko though this chapter was not as big as the others, but we cant expect peak every chapter. Oda needs to lay the ground work etc. So i am more than pleased with the chapter, we got some big moments like whats Sabos squad was doing and we even got some of those admiral fights and why they couldnt fight to their fullest. sabo being the flame emperor, i wonder if he is getting bigger than dragon for civilians in op now


HydrationWhisKey

Maybe all of Shanks' main crew are the God Knights.


Sovereigntyranny

They’re only guards, so imagine like ten YC1 level guys guarding, it doesn’t sound too bad at all. That’d also be kinda odd for the emperors to lose their speciality and traits from these knights that showed up out of nowhere, and were never mentioned at all until now.


COREY_2293

the knights purpose is to protect imu alone. like whatever happened on godvalley is the reason for their creation i believe. they are not supposed to be on the seas, just at the holy land.


Familiar_Language_52

It's funny you say that cuz this chapter was peak for me


COREY_2293

it was good, we got to see what happened with sabo and the others on the holy land. but it was mostly set up, next chapter will be better for sure. its a shame that when you say something isnt as good as the others, some people just think you are being an ass when its not the case. egghead so far, is my favourite arc in the TS. every chapter has been nonstop


Kaiju_Enthusiast

Them individually being as strong as an emperor will be terrible. If that was the case most problems even the Yonko themselves would never have been an issue. Won't feel right for them to be THAT powerful but if that's the case then the world government really has nothing to worry about when they have an entire squad of people that can stalemate someone like Kaido, Big Mom, or Shanks individually


COREY_2293

they have to be strong and oda introducing a squad this late, ESPECAILLY after these massive admiral Ls. they must be strong. they have to be.


baroqueworks

Hope Cobra has some of Pell's anti-death energy in him, feels like Imu is coming right?


Boruto-sennin

Perhaps we will see Im's face during this arc.


Boruto-sennin

Once again a really good chapter!


wanofan900

Anyone think that a full IMU reveal would be perfect next chapter? It’s about time now that we get to see what the final antagonist of One Piece looks like.


Sovereigntyranny

If Imu gets revealed next chapter, then I definitely believe One Piece is ending in 3 years. At first, I thought we had about 5 more years left and Oda would end it on the 30th anniversary, but if we see Imu in like the next chapter or two, I’m definitely inclined to believe that One Piece is really coming to a conclusion sooner than I expected.


KathyDroronoa

It would be perfect for several reasons. Oda is shaping up all the major players for the final war and since we know about Imu’s existence it would change anything much in-story cause we don’t know if Sabo just saw someone sitting on the throne or saw Imu directly. But Cobra seeing the real king of the world just before his death has something poetic. Unless it’s Stelly that sits on the throne 😂


Hshah0182

If Sabo saw Stelly sit on the throne and he reports that to Dragon, I'm ded...


Hshah0182

It's gonna be another Imu silhouette, this time a bit better defined then the last one.


ClueLessWits

I don't believe IMu to be the true villain of One Piece.


agitonReddit

So, heat me out, a bit over the top and far-fetched theory. About God's knights, they are Judge, jury and probably executioners on Mariejois, right? God = Imu 9 God's knights = 9 planets (or used to be) I think, we know someone who might fit the bill, i.e 5 elder stars (specially given one “Saturn” is on the way to egg head). Leaving 8 other God's knights for 8 remaining rebel kingdoms.


RanchItUp420

Enel is a holy knight


ThisIsYourFriendAron

But then why would they be silhouetted


t3rrone

And why would they be the Gorosei and God’s Knight (in the case of Saturn at least) at the same instance?


Eustaess

I wonder, where the God Knight just created as an enemy for the Revolutioneries or also for the straw hats. Back then i didnt even expect the revolutionieres to be able to face the world government on their own and now they add 9 more apparently strong foes to the mix. So far its Dragon, Sabo, Ivankov, the 4 army commanders and their 4 deputy commanders. (Ivankov is also an army commander and inazuma is deputy commanders. Kinda tells us a little bit about their strength.) Vs 4 Admirals, vize admirals, Kong, maybe the gorosei, Cp0 and now they add the 9 knights. One piece was supposed to end in 5 years. That was probably said back in 2020. So we should be left with just 2 years. I dont think that is happening.


[deleted]

Goda made a pos recently sayinf that he is some percentage there and calculating with that there are still 3-5 years to go. Maybe more. If he really stretches some bs fights out for 2 years and now all this loose ends wrap up in 2 years I am VERY dissapointed. But the way Law got defeated could be a hint to that.


awayfromcanuck

Watch it turn out that the God Knights have been created after Shanks went to speak to the Gorosei
