THEORIES & OPINIONS

A CONDEMNED KILLER! A HIDDEN PAST!

As many of you guys know,the Dressrosa Arc has paralleled the Alabasta Arc in many ways! For most people, this is a sign that there will in fact be a new Nakama joining the Straw Hats! Whether that be the case or not remains to be seen! But today I would like to talk about one of those characters that have the possibility of joining, and how I believe that even if he doesn’t join, his connection to Alabasta runs deeper than any other parallels that has been made thus far. That character I am referring to, is Kyros, the undisputed champion of the Colosseum!

There has always been a few things that has struck me as odd, about the way King Riku treats Kyros. The most baffling one however, is the fact that Riku ordered his men to stand down despite the fact that Kyros attacked him, with the intent to kill him.

Another thing that is strange is why would King Riku, go into the slums, to try and help a person he has never met before in his life? The only thing Riku knows about Kyros, is his name, and the fact that he is a murderer, but Riku went there to save him regardless….. This leads me to believe Riku has met Kyros before…

Then we have this scene here, where King Riku explains how the citizens of Dressrosa would never be able to accept a marriage between Kyros and Scarlet due Kyros’ history…..Note that King Riku never makes mention about Kyros status as a “commoner”

Finally we have this scene here, where Kyros states that that he doesn’t want to give King Riku any more hardships, and King Riku replies that it would be unforgivable, for anyone, except Kyros, and that this story is something he has never heard of before…

Ok, so where the hell am I going with this? It’s simple obviously! I am implying that Kyros is actually royalty! Kyros himself, is actually the former Prince of a country, which he left when he was still very young! He is actually the younger brother of someone we all know quite well! Lets take a look shall we?

Now if you notice, Cobra and Kyros share very similar facial features. Their eyes are very similar and with the exception of Kyro’s widows peak, their hair is also exactly the same. So this got me thinking, if it was possible that Kyros could actually be related to Cobra, and I decided to do some digging!

The first thing I found, is that Kyros’ name, could possibly derived from the Greek Word Kouros, which were Free-standing sculptures in Ancient Greece, but also, the word itself means “youth, boy, especially of noble rank.”

This got me thinking, that if Kyros name itself is derived from a word that means a person of Noble rank that what other features does he have that could possibly connect him to Nobility. So I went back to Cobra, and decided since Alabasta was obviously modeled after Ancient Egypt I would look into Egyptian Nobility, and thats when I the second similarity between Kyros and Cobra became apparent, and that would be their beards….. The both have beards that resemble The Ancient Egyptian Royalty.

From there I looked up the symbolism of what having a beard ment, back in Ancient Egyptian times…

The type of Beard Kyros has, bares a strong resemblance to the “fake beards” of Nobility of Ancient Egypt….The same time period that the Alabasta Arc is based off of! It should also be noted that Kyros, could be a play on words for the capital of Egypt “Cairo”

Now there is one final piece of evidence that supports Kyros could be of “Royal Blood” and that is the fact that Kyros’ entire story of being a toy, is based off of “The Nutcracker Prince” That is right! The inspiration of Kyros story, is based off of a story about a Prince who got turned into a toy….

The Nutcracker Prince….

An actual Nutcracker….

Kyros as the Thunder Solider

Everything about Kryos’ character hints towards him being royalty…….His Toy Soldier inspiration, his name, his facial features that resemble that of King Cobra…. King Rikus actions on how he treats Kyros……

So lets get on with piecing the theory together shall we!

I believe King Riku knew the father of King Cobra and Prince Kyros. Over the many years that the two of them were King, they had attended The Reverie and grew rather close. During that time period, I believe Cobra and Kyros’ father brought them to the Reverie one year, and Cobra and Kyros met King Riku. This is how King Riku recognized Kyros’ name when he had heard about a murderer in the slums, and why he chose to go there himself….

Kyros was introduced at the age of 15 years old in a flashback, and I did the calculations, and since The Reverie happens every 4 years, it would have happened one year before Kyros’ 15th Birthday….The year before Kyros killed the people who killed his friend…

I believe after The Reverie happened when Kyros was 14, an illness befell the King of Alabasta, and the King himself wanted both his sons to rule the Kingdom. I believe Kyros chose to leave the Kingdom instead and find his own path in life, leaving Alabasta in the hands of his older brother Cobra….

But what makes me believe this? Well it has to do with my One Piece Final Fantasy connection thread…..Now I could be off on this one, but I feel like it supports this theory, so I will mention it here…

In Final Fantasy 6 there was a Desert Kingdom by the name of Figaros…..When Edgar and Sabin (Two twin brothers) were 17, the King of Figaros was poisoned, and as his dying wish wanted for his two sons to rule the Kingdom together…Sabin however was upset at the fact that everyone was more concerned over the succession of the throne, rather than the death of his father, that he opted to leave the Country to follow his own path, and have his brother be the sole ruler over the Kingdom….

Another connection I made, is the fact that Edgar and Sabin didn’t speak to eachother for 10 years after Sabin left his Kingdom…..This coincides with Kyros being turned into a toy for 10 years, where he would have been forgotten by his brother, due to the fact that he was a toy….

I believe Kyros and Cobra represent Edgar and Sabin, and that Kyros is in fact, Cobra’s brother, and heir to the throne of Alabasta…

If this was the case, then that means Rebecca, who is the heir to the throne of Dressrosa, will actually be a “True Heir” to the throne, because she will be a direct descendant of one of the 20 Ancient Kingdoms….

This also allows for Kyros to join the Straw Hats, as it gives him a “Dream/Goal” to work towards…..Remember it’s been 10 long years since he was forgotten, and before then, he probably kept in touch with his brother over the years…..But ever since being forgotten, he would want to first hand be reunited with his family, much like how Brook wants to be reunited with Laboon….

So there you have it! Do you believe Kyros is the brother of Cobra? Or at least related to him? Or do you want some of what I am smoking?

    ONE PIECE ONE TRUTH: THE 7TH WARLORD!

    One Piece One Truth: The 7th Warlord

    (WARNING: This theory is a mixed of creative writing and the actual theory itself! I made it like a dialogue so that i won’t get bored in writing it. I hope you guys appreciate it!)

    Kogoro: According to my deduction, the 7th warlord is none other that Shiki!

    Megure kebu: What?!! But Shiki has been away for a very long time and i doubt his pride will ever let him be called a “dog of the government”.

    Kogoro: Don’t you get it? Zephyr’s arm was cut off and look at Shiki’s legs. They were made out of swords!! Obviously he was the…(click)..nyahhhh. ZZZzzzz

    (Sleeping Kogoro appears)

    Megure: Could it be? The legendary Sleeping Kogoro!

    Sleeping Kogoro: That’s right! Now let’s expose the person that cut Zephyr’s arm and made a name for himself as the 7th warlord!

    Megure: But didn’t you already said it was Shiki?!

    SK: I was just testing if you are paying attention. As you said, it can’t be him. Now moving on.

    Megure: ….

    SK: Let’s review the qualification to become a warlord. First, to become a warlord, you have to do insane things that will catch the WG’s attention. Law sent hundreds of living hearts of pirates to the WG. Buggy had a huge followers from impel down, some of the most fearsome pirates and he also escaped impel down himself. BB captured the son of Gol D. Roger. These acts all made these pirates ascend to the warlord status. Second, you have to be strong and influential and well known. This comes hand in hand with the first qualification. If you do insane stuff, you will be known all throughtout the OP world as seen with my 3 examples. So what act could the 7th warlord have had committed to attain such title?

    7th Warlord: (gulp)..

    SK: Now let’s review everything that we know about the whereabouts of the 7th warlord. First, he was already shown on previous chapters. This means that he is someone that we are already familiar to. Next, he cut Z’s arm off. What could he have used to cut Z’s arm? Was it his devil fruit power or was it something simplier? Like a sword perhaps? Third, He became a warlord during the time skip. Why during the time skip? What could have happened during that time? This brings us to my last point. Fujitora. Fujitora expressed his stance on the warlord system. He heavily opposed it and wants to abolish it. He didn’t say the reason why but if my deductions are correct, it maybe related to the 7th warlord.

    7th warlord: (smirk)..

    SK: Fujitora became an admiral and expressed his goals of destroying the warlord system the moment we knew about him. Oda wrote this to give us a clue. He wouldn’t simply write something like this and makes nothing of it. It’s not Oda’s style of writing. So we can safely say that the 7th warlord is someone that Fujitora hated as he heavily oppose the warlord system. But why? Why would Fujitora hate the 7th warlord?

    SK: Other detectives around the world speculated that Fujitora’s scars on his face were given by the 7th warlord himself. I disagree with that thought. Why? Simple. Fujitora is an admiral who has an hax DF. Even Doffy expressed how strong Fujitora is along with green bull. So there could possibly be no way that a warlord can stack up against an admiral like Fujitora.

    Megure: But how can you explain the hatred of Fujitora against the warlord especially the 7th?

    SK: If my deductions are correct, Fujitora’s scars weren’t made by the 7th but a person related the 7th warlord himself. It could be his dad or perhaps his master. But this is not enough for Fujitora to hate the Warlord. Fujitora didn’t care about the warlord till he did an act that reminded Fujitora about the past. This prompt Fujitora to abolish the warlord system. In short, Fujitora knew the warlord before he became the warlord but didn’t hate him yet because it wasn’t him that gave him his scars but his master or father or someone related to him. But during the timeskip, the 7th warlord made a move to attain the warlord status and that irks Fujitora so much because it reminds him of the past. Two things in particular. The scar on his face, and the tragedy on his home country.

    Megure: Wait what?! What does his country have to do with this? And how do you even know where he is from?

    SK: If you look at Fujitora’s character design, it is very easy to deduce where he is from. He wears a kimonno and sword is his primary weapon. He has the same outfit as a samurai would thus telling us that he is most likely a samurai from Wano. Wano and WG don’t get along very well so why did a very powerful Fujitora became an admiral? Just to abolish the warlord system. He hate it that much.

    Megure: True…. But what tragic past could the Wano have had experienced before?!

    SK: That is a very good question and you won’t find the answer in the One Piece manga for this.

    Megure: NANI?!

    SK: Yes. Instead, you have to go back in time and dig one of Oda’s one shot called “Monsters”. It’s a story about the legendary swordsman of wano, Ryuuma. Monsters was confirmed canon by Oda so this is still part of One Piece. In the story, a village located in between mountains was wiped out by a dragon and none but one girl survived. You guys should read it, it’s very interesting and the story will play a huge role in the upcoming wano arc. Moving on, this was the tragedy that i’m talking about. A dragon wiping out an entire village killing everything in it’s path. This on itself is not a real tragedy until people figured out that the person that saved the little girls life during the dragon’s rampage was in fact the person that called the dragon to wipe the entire village in the first place. And they all hailed him as a hero before figuring this out. It most likely felt to people like they were “betrayed” by this guy they deemed as hero. Now let me show you the picture of the person responsible for such horrible act. Conan!

    Conan: Haaaai!

    [IMG]

    7th warlord: …..

    SK: His name is Cyrano. Oda “most likely” derived his name from the famous play written in 1897 called Cyrano de Bergerac. After this play became popular, being called a “Cyrano” was often reffered to as having a “long nose”. Try to remember all of this as it will be handy later on.

    Megure: Ok. Wait. I think we are getting out of base in the real subject here. Who is the 7th warlord and what does this all have to do with him?!!

    SK: Getting impatient there huh old man?

    Megure: wha?!…

    SK: All of this is related to the 7th warlord. Cyrano was a well known antagonist in wano because of what he did and since Fujitora was from Wano, he knew all about Cyrano and his antics. Meaning that the 7th warlord is most likely a descendant of the cruel Cyrano! Depending on timeline, the 7th warlord maybe the son. grandson or great grandson of Cyrano. Also, the scar on Fujitora’s face was mostly given by the generation before the 7th warlord’s thus it’s probably his master/father. Another great clue to point out here is the manner in which Fujitora’s scars were made. If you look at carefully, it’s an X on the forehead. I call this as the signature of the Cyrano bloodline. You know who else got the X scar on his face? Ryuuma himself! Conan!

    Conan: Haaaai!

    [IMG]

    SK: As you all can see, Ryuuma has some bandages across his forehead and a scar that’s fairly visible across his eyes and another bandage on the other direction. If i were to deduce what happened, it must have been that when Ryuuma got old, an angry Cyrano descendant challenged him and killed him leaving that patented trademark on his face. Also, it’s most likely that that person can’t beat Ryuuma with just “one” sword so he developed his technique using “two” sword style thus explaining the “X”.

    Megure: Ok. I get it. He is connected to Cyrano. But who exactly is he?!

    SK: Conan!

    Conan: Hai!


    The guy with top hat and has “heeeelp” on the panel

    SK: Did you figure it out yet? This is the sillouhete of the 7th warlord as show in this chapter. Does he strike any resemblance to you?

    Megure: Another detective said that it’s Rob Lucci.

    SK: (smiles) Do you really think Lucci can do all that to an admiral? Of course it’s not Lucci! He is not a pirate after all!

    Megure: …

    SK: Moving on. This person is the real 7th warlord. If you combine his sillouhete and Cyrano’s picture. I think it will become pretty clear on what it would look like. Conan!

    Conan: Hai!

    [IMG]

    EVERYBODY: ?!?!

    SK: Yes! That’s right! The 7th warlord is non other than Vista.

    Megure: BUT VISTA IS A GOOD GUY AND IS A MEMBER OF THE WB PIRATES?!

    SK: Have you forgotten already old man?

    Megure: What the..?!!

    SK: Cyrano was the same. Everybody in Wano thought of him as the savior and in the end he turned out to be the bad guy!

    Megure: T-t-true…

    SK: Remember the interaction between Yassop and Vista? In the wiki, it says that something happened in the past between the two of them. So there is that “long nose” “cyrano” connection. I have another deduction about what this could have been and how it’s connected to Zoro but that’s for another thread. For this one, let’s stick with Vista.

    Megure: But how did he attain warlord status? What could he have done?

    SK: He most likely attacked the weakened WB pirates as he knew that they were down after losing Ace and WB. Or maybe he just turned them into the WG. Worst case scenario, he killed them. One thing is for sure though, he did “betray” them. It also shows that he weilds “two” swords which is logical if you are to put an X on someone’s forehead.

    Megure: Is this true Vista?

    7th warlord/vista: (Smile).. Ryuuma killed Cyrano and was our whole family was hailed as bad people in the whole Wano! Do you have any idea how it’s like to be dubbed as traitor even before you start walking?! So my father/master/great grandfater(whoever it is that challenged Ryuuma depending on timeline) challenged Ryuuma to a duel. He couldn’t beat him on a one on one battle. He was just too strong. So my ancestor developed a new swordstyle that could beat Ryuuma. “If i can’t beat him with one sword, I’ll use two instead!” Ryuuma had gotten old in that time so my ancestor had an advantage.
    At last, after tons of duels, he killed Ryuuma but the wano country hated us even more instead of recognizing us as the people that beat Ryuuma.

    SK: (Laugh) You may have beaten the legendary Ryuuma with two swordstyle technique but beware! It’s only natural that your two sword technique will lose to someone that wields three!

    Vista: ???

    Zoro: Achoo! Sniff Sniff.

    SK: It’s only fitting Vista. Your name. In a parallel world, your name signifies a very bad version of computer software but when they replaced it with 7, it became the best OS. In your case, it’s the other way around.

    Vista: Wtf are you even talking about?!

    Kogoro: …(where am i? did i fall asleep again?)

    (angry Vista and Megure appears)

    Kogoro: What the? What do you want? Did i do something?

    Megure: SINCE WHEN DID YOUR EGO GROW SO BIG THAT YOU CAN CALL ME OLD MAN NOW HUH KOGORO?!

    Vista: WTF is Vista and 7 have to do with me?!!!! I don’t get it!

    Kogoro: ?????!!??

    Conan: hehe. -_-”

    So yeah. 7th warlord is Vista. Sorry guys if i had to write it this way. I was writing it normally but it bored the hell out of me so quickly so i had to write it in a more creative fashion.

    What do you think?

    *Theory by Conan

      MONKEY D. DRAGON’S TRUE POWER; FEAR OF THE CONQUEROR’S HAKI

      In this theory I shall talk about the true strength of Monkey D. Dragon. However, I cant talk about Dragon without discussing the Conqueror’s Haki.

      First of all, we know Dragon has his own fighting style as seen with Sabo:

      But once again, the Conqueror’s Haki is what makes Dragon truly fearsome. Dragon also has no devil fruit but for those who think he odes, do NOT be discouraged. You’ll see why later on.

      Now lets get into what CoC is and what Dragon’s(and others) real abilities are.

      Conqueror’s Haki is the ability to use your willpower as a weapon. It is truly the most powerful ability in One Piece and its even more powerful than the Ancient Weapons.

      There are multiple levels to Conqueror’s Haki can it can be broken down into 5 simple levels.


      Level 1: Using your will to conquer the will of others
      .

      The most simplest and well known example of Conqueror’s Haki. It is very effective against fodder.

      However, contrary to popular belief, it is still useful against those with good willpower.

      Smoker of all people began to sweat against Hancock’s CoC. It depends on how strong your CoC is compared to the will of your target. Replace Hancock with Rayleigh or Shanks, Smoker might have had a worse reaction.


      Level 2: Conquering the Elements

      As simple as it sounds. Dragon used his CoC to conqueror the fir of Gray Terminal to give the people a path to escape.


      Doflamingo was completely incased in Kuzan’s ice but managed to use his CoC to conquer the ice and break free.

      This level can also be applied to objects.


      Level 3: Conquering the Weather

      The Cnqueror’s Haki has a certain radius. The stronger the will, the more range one’s CoC has and it can affect and manipulate the environment. That storm that saved Roger and destroyed Shiki’s fleet was because of Roger’s CoC and it is how Dragon summoned lightning to save Luffy.


      Level 4: Conquering yourself.

      One with the Conqueror’s Haki can manifest his will/spirit in physical form. Your personal traits and characteristics that describe will become a physical weapon per say.

      Shanks has shown that Conqueror’s Haki can cause PHYSICAL damage to objects.

      Now then, there is ALOT more to Level 4 Conqueror’s Haki. Everyone’s spirit is different and can be represented by different things. Some spirits are like tigers, some are like ice and others can even be cocaine. Of course, only those with the Conqueror’s Haki can achieve this, but it can be done by those who haven’t unlocked it yet. The willpower of a person must very strong in order to achieve this feat though.

      Zoro spirit in physical form is Asura.


      Sanji’s spirit in physical form is Diable Jambe. Oda said that Sanji doesn’t get burned because his spirit burns hotter.


      Shanks’ spirit in physical form is red lightning.

      Kaidou may be a dragon zoan but his spirit in physical form may be a Typhon. The Typhon is the father of beasts and Kaidou leads an army of beasts.

      Level 5: Conquering Reality

      The highest level of Conqueror Haki. Only 2 people have achieved this form of CoC aside from Dragon. This level can only be achieved by those who are a direct descendant of D.

      The Conqueror’s Haki can conqueror ANYTHING and that includes time, space, light and dark. The concept of reality itself bends to the will of the conqueror.

      The distortion of reality, time and space is synonymous with air cracking.

      A Conqueror’s Haki clash is the sudden impact of two conqueror spirits and those combined spirits is strong enough to distort time and space for a short time.
      *************************

      Now to avoid any confusion, a person can master level 1,2 and 4 but could still need work for level 3 for example. Some people can only level up so far not matter how much they try. Don Chinjao for example may be unable to use level 2 or 3.

      ***************************

      Of course you know, Luffy will be the greatest Conqueror of them all.

      Those with the Conqueror’s Haki are very common in the New World and it is the only way to climb to the top.

      However, those with the Conqueror’s Haki are the least of Luffy’s worries.

      “Blackbeard” Marshall D. Teach cannot use haki because of the Yami Yami no mi. Despite that, he can make sure that his opponents cannot use haki either.

      The Darkness Fruit consumes absolutely everything.

      We know Teach can neutralize devil fruit powers via physical contact.

      But with his devil fruit awakening, he can neutralize devil fruits and haki without needing physical contact.

      The only thing that can save Luffy is his Conqueror’s Haki conquering Teach’s darkness.

      ************************************

      Now then, what about Monkey D. Dragon?

      As I implied earler, Dragon’s Conqueror’s Haki is probably the strongest alive. It is the main reason why he is the most wanted man.

      Dragon’s conqueror’s haki(along with Shanks and Roger) is so strong that he can cause the air to crack without clashing with anyone.

      As for Dragon’s spirit in physical form, it is an actual dragon.

      With his CoC, Dragon can manipulate the weather and become a dragon. This is why I believe Dragon has no DF because he doesn’t need one. He is already a dragon in a literal sense. Dragon’s body wont deform and turn into a dragon itself if that’s what your thinking. Just his spirit will turn into a dragon behind or above him like an aura.

      This brings up a few questions though….what are CoC in physical forms of Roger?

      *Theory by Vandenreich

        JEWELRY BONNEY; HIDDEN PAST AND TRUE POWERS


        Let’s get the basics that probably everyone knows about out of the way first.

        Bonney knows that Big Mam and WB are her parents. As for Big Mam, Bonney is way too similar to her to not know the truth.

        Apart from the big appetites, pinkish-purple theme and similar hats, Bonney’s cake ship is very similar to Big Mam’s Whole Cake Island.

        The reason WB would hit that(nudge nudge wink wink) is Big Mam most likely looked something like this when younger:

        In the world of One Piece, woman are always slim n’ beautiful when young but scary zombies when old.

        The reason Bonney was crying after WB supposedly betrayed his allies to save Ace was because she was disappointed that her father that she wanted to meet so much was such a cruel man.

        Bonney is ESTIMATED to be 24 years old so her actual age is unknown and 24 years ago, WB was 50. Oda was asked about Bonney’s age and he said “I cant be sure because of her powers.” That it a big red flag. We know for a fact that there are fruits that stops the aging process as seen with Sugar who is 22 years old in the body of a 9 year old.

        ****************************
        Lets get to how the WB, Big Mam and Bonney are connected.

        WB’s real name is obviously Edward Newgate and the name Edward is an English name that means wealth and fortune. Newgate is a famous London prison.

        Big Mam’s real name is Charlotte Linlin and the name Charlotte is the female version of Charles(French name) which means “free man.” Charlotte therefore means “free woman.”

        Jewelry Bonney is name comes from the real life Irish pirate Anne Bonney.
        [​IMG]

        Anne Bonney(birth name Anne Cormac) was disowned by her wealthy father. She was cornered by a “King’s Ship” lead by a Jamaican Governor and was captured. Because she was pregnant, she received a temporary stay of execution until she gave birth. It is unknown whether she was released or executed.

        Notice how WB, Big Mam and Bonney are all European?

        Also, Bonney is from South Blue and the same thing can be said for WB. South Blue is the sea of the poor and as a child, WB was hoarding goods.

        WB always wanted a family ever since he was a kid.

        Don’t you think WB would’ve tried to have a real family? He had one with Big Mam(who was also a pirate) and she got pregnant with Bonney.

        Soon enough, a Tenryubitto ship showed and a certain tenryubitto took the pregnant Big Mam as his wife. WB returned only to find his wife and unborn child missing and returned to his pirate life to start a new family after he couldn’t locate them(Don’t forget that Yasopp had a wife n’ child but left them behind to continue piracy. WB probably did something like that).

        This could be the reason WB has no female fighters on his ship. The abduction/disappearance of his first family made him overprotective. WB always says “Son.” Never daughter or children.

        Reason I think Big Mam was taken to be a Tenryubitto wife is this:

        What Teach said to Bonney just got me thinking of Big Mam.

        Linlin Bonney was changed to Jewelry Bonney(probably the last name of that Tenryubitto) and Big Mam spent at least 2 years as a Tenryubitto wife and was fed the Witch Witch Fruit(Tenryubittos have a monopoly of DFs and is known to force slaves to eat them for kicks. They probably anyone they are tired off eat them). Big Mam used her new power to escape along with her two daughters Bonney and Lola(still in the womb) back to South Blue.

        Since Big Mam was a pirate at heart, she left Bonney in South Blue and gave birth to Lola while she was sailing the seas. I’m sure Big mam ran into WB again but since WB was now overprotective, Big Mam decided to make her own crew. Big Mam would occasionally visit Bonney in South Blue(or send her crew members to visit her).

        Bonney has always wanted to meet her father however and by chance, she meet Ace on his BB hunt. Ace told Bonney about her dad and that inspired to become a pirate and travel to the New World to meet her dad.

        Lastly, do you guys know who that Tenryubitto I mentioned is related too?

        Black Leg Sanji who is obviously European(French) just like Big Mam, Bonney. I have said before that the Big Mam arc is the arc of Sanji and that this is the arc where Sanji will discover the dark nature of his tenryubitto family.

        I believe that Sanji and other SHs will be captured by Big Mam’s crew to bait Luffy(all takes place after Kaidou). Big Mam would originally want to kill Sanji n’ company because she recognizes his eyebrows and this is when Sanji will learn just how much of a devil he really is. Sanji will keep everyone alive by promising to make her sweets.

        When the other arrives, they have to deal with Big Mam’s “family.”

        :pggrin:PinkGlory:pggrin:

        *************************

        Now lets get into Bonney’s devil fruit power. Popular belief is tha Bonney can alter people’s ages to whatever she wants but that is not the case. She can make someone very young or very old.

        Don’t buy it? Let me go into more detail then.

        First of all, Akainu said a cold-chill went down his spine when he heard Bonney escaped the WG. He was referring to Sabody.

        Also, when Bonney said “You people!! I’ll forgive you!!!,” she was talking about the entire WG including the Tenryubittos as they were the ones who screwed up her life in the first place. Her entire family life was ruined.

        BB called Bonney too weak and was surprised that she made it all the way to the New World and had 100+ million bounty.

        The WG or more specifically the Gorosei, gave Bonney a 140 million bounty because of the potential threat of her devil fruit.

        The Gorosei were the ones who gave rise to the DFs. They know exactly of the potential Bonney’s power holds. Bonney was never captured or “Revived the Gorosei to their Prime” nonsense because…..

        She is FREE!! A freaking chill went down AKAINU’S back. Why would they let her go!!??? They didn’t. Bonney was saved but by who?Monkey D. Dragon.

        Dragon’s tattoo always reminded me of tribal face paint and look at the entire area where Bonney was captured.

        Surrounded by tribal totems. It was Dragon saving Bonney that made the Gorosei push Akainu to become Fleet Admiral.

        Bonney’s ability falls in the same category of Law’s and Mansherry’s power(also with BB, Brooke and Doc Q).

        Law’s power allows him to make someone immortal by sacrificing his own life. Regular use of is power also drains his stamina.

        Mansherry can bring a person back to life at the cost of her own.

        Here is the hierarchy:
        1-Yami Yami-Teach can steal and contain souls
        2-Yomi Yomi- Brooke can control and manipulate souls
        3-Death Death- Doc Q kills the soul
        4-Heal Heal- Mansherry can heal people and restore inanimate objects completely(since its a non living things it takes more power)in exchange for sending a portion of her soul to Yomi
        5-Ope Ope- Law can make a soul immortal in exchange for sending his soul into Yomi

        Bonney’s fruit is in the middle as she can alter life spans in he extremes(making someone very young or very old). She can also do the same for objects which is why she has so much potential.

        Since she can severely alter the lifespan of anything, her own life force is constantly decreasing. She eats so much because she has to in order to replenish her life force. If it runs out, she obviously dies. That’s why she was so impatient next meal in Sabody despite having some food left. She had no time to waste.

        The Gorosei are so afraid because she can potentially revive the Anceint Kingdom and/or the Island of Ohara. The same goes for any other place the Gorosei had destroyed to conceal the truth.

          SOUL KING BROOK; THE SINISTER POWER OF THE UNDERWORLD

          This time I shall be talking about the abilities of a very underrated character, Brook.

          As I said, Brook is a very underrated character and before I can even talk about his devil fruit power, I must first talk about what Brook represents.

          I think the main reason Brook is so underrated is because of dream which is to reunite with….a whale. Compared to the other SHs, his dream seems pretty weak and one that can be achieved whenever he feels like it. Well not only is Brook a SH and they do not backtrack, a promise to a WHALE isn’t the main point: it is the promise itself.

          Brook is the most lively character in the series despite dying once. A promise carries a lot of weight and one simple yet silly promise is all the reason he needs to live.

          To further understand this, I’ll have to go into detail with other points.
          **********************

          Brook is also underrated as a swordsman. Contrary to how a lot of people think, Brook is a real swordsman. Just look at his knowledge about swordsmanship in Thriller Bark.

          Another thing that you should know is that technically, Zoro never fought Ryuma. He fought Brook.

          All tactics and techniques zombie Ryuuma used are just like Brook’s and everything Ryuuma said is within Brook’s vocabulary and personality.

          Brook has the drive to train his swordsmanship and get stronger.

          Brook’s shadow felt ashamed that it caused the demise of the body of a proud samurai.

          If Brook can handle it or if it is for the sake of his comrades, Brook shows his true colors that is normally outshined by his eccentric, goofy and cowardly personality.

          *************************

          Brook’s devil fruit, the Yomi Yomi no mi, is directly related to the Yami Yami no mi or Marshall D. Teach. The Yomi Yomi no mi was one of the first devil fruits to exist with the Yami Yami no mi being the very first. It is one of the 3 devil fruits that deals with the essence of life.

          It is also no coincidence that Brook was introduced in the same arc of Gekko Moriah who has the Kage Kage no mi. The Kage Kage no mi gives the user the ability to extract the shadow from a person and transfer it to a body that lacks essence.

          The shadow is just an extension of a person’s essence which is why the vessel that lack essence gains the personality of the original host. It is their “darkness.” Without it, they are overwhelmed by the light(sun) and cease to exist.

          What is this “essence” I speak of?

          The soul is the essence of life and Brook can bend it to his will.

          Similar to how the Yami Yami no mi can steal and contain souls, Brook’s devil fruit can manipulate and control them.

          Here you can see Brook using his music to manipulate the souls of others.


          Brook’s latest epithet “Soul King” isn’t referring to his music. It is referring to his ability to vontrol souls. Brook’s real epither is “The King of Souls.”

          Yomi translates to “Land of the Dead/World of Darkness” in Japanese. In Japanese Shintoism(Wano), Yomi is where the souls of the dead goes to. It is the same as Hades in Greek Mythology.

          Brook’s sword “Soul Solid” uses the chill of Brook’s own soul energy.


          Simply put, Brook can summon the souls of the dead and in a way, bring Yomi/Hades to the surface.

          Remember when I said that Moriah’s Kage fruit can transfer a shadow to a corpse that lacks essence? Brook can give the corpse an essence of life and it can roam whenever it pleases without a weakness to salt. Because the corpse lacks a souls, it can be purified. It is just a vessel stuck in a limbo that needs closure but now that it has a soul, it is completely bound to this world with Brooke as its king. Brook and Moriah will create an invincible zombie army to fight against Kaidou’s forces. Also, it is in Wano where Brook’s DF power and swordsmanship will reach a new level.

          Now then, there is a very good reason for Brook to be able to summon souls of the Underworld. Remember Brook’s promise to Laboon? I believe it was the entire Rumbar Pirates who promised to return and didn’t Brook himself say death isn’t an apology?

          Once Brook discovers his true ability, he wont need a recording dial. He just needs to summons the souls of his comrades(resurrection can only happen once per soul to keep things from being OP or repetitive) to have a true reunion and heartbreaking moment with Laboon.

          Brook represents life itself and its the little pleasures in it that gives you reason to live.

            HOW WILL ODA HANDLE THE NEW ALLIES OF THE SHS (PAST, CURRENT AND FUTURE)

            OK, most people have been wondering about the next nakama, but a lot have ignored the allies and how will Oda handle them? Will they follow Luffy on his journey? Will they stay in their country? How will it be?

            3553034-621452-monkey_d_luffy_after_timeskip__paint__by_twin_gamer_d4ez19r

            So I have been thinking about it for a long time and I tried to be objective and I want you guys if you have better ideas to comment for sure and give me your opinions. Now I will write a lot, so be patient please cause I tried to analyze everything

            First of all, there are two concept I want to clarify here:
            1- When I say allies here, I’m not talking about allies who are on equal terms, no I meant allies who are under the command of Luffy and waiting for his orders, and that’s how most big Pirates in the new world operates.
            2- The way I analyzed it, was a way where I separated the allies into two major groups.
            A) People Who will stay at the kingdoms and islands who are under Luffy and protect his territory.
            B) People who will follow him on his journey, BUT on their own ship not the sunny.

            So, there was something I have noticed in this arc and how Oda introduced Luffy’s allies that made me believe that he will follow this pattern and I will go through it in a minute.

            When he introduced these allies, there were two kind of allies:
            1- Pirates with bounties
            2- Assassins, Mercenaries, Kings, Gangs, criminals (but there was not a single bounty on these guys, because Marines only cares about hunting pirates)

            Now, the first group, the pirates, they will have to keep sailing no matter what because of their bounties and because they cannot stay on the same island to protect a territory of Luffy, because we have seen what Law was aiming for when he wanted Doflamingo to resign from shichibukai system. If Doflamingo did it, he cannot stay in Dressrosa no matter what cause he will be hunted by marines. Same we can say about the pirates. So how come other yonko and big time pirates have people protect their islands and territories if the yonko isn’t there and there is a bounty on these guys like scotch for example? It’s because these guys are not pirates, and they don’t have bounties, they are gangs, mercenaries assassins, Kings and their troops. So they can rest assured if they stayed in that island to protect it.

            I think you guys understood what I’m getting at. So I’ve organized and sorted the characters I’ve seen in this arc as allies into the two groups:

            A- Pirates with Bounties:
            1- Cavindish and the beautiful pirates.
            2- Bartolomeo and the Bart club.
            3- Bellamy (I will get into him in a minute since he doesn’t have a crew anymore and no he’s not joining SHs Lol)
            This group I will talk about them later, I will first talk about the others in details

            B- Others who doesn’t have bounties: These guys will be the ones to protect the future territories of Luffy, and Oda mixed them in this arc together as a foreshadowing of what islands Luffy will take over besides Fishman Island in the future. And these guys will stay in the island to protect it, until the final war where Luffy will ask them all to help him.
            Let’s look at them one by one:

            1- Kinemon, Kanjuro and momonoske (Don’t have bounties, Wano will be Luffy’s territory and they will protect it)

            2- Sai and Boo (They are from Hanokuni the land of flowers and they don’t have a bounty cause they are just a gang not pirates, their grandpa Chinjao was a pirate but not them, they have the happo navy under Luffy’s command already by Chinjao, but they will stay at Hanukuni to protect it for Luffy until the final war. Also, Baby 5 was very young about 10 years old when she was under Doffy as shichibukai so I doubt she got a bounty at all)

            3- Blue Gilly and Ideo: One from the long leg tribe and one from the long arm tribe. I was watching a review video of EOP, check him out he’s great, but he mentioned something about it was based on a story of two tribes long legged and long armed and that they were working alone separately, but that these long leg and long arm tribe will only be at the max power when they unite and work together and who will do that? Luffy and Blue gilly and Ideo will protect this town cause I have a feeling that these two tribes currently are hating each others and work separately although they live near each others

            4- King Riku, Kyrus, Viola and Rebecca: Kyrus does have a bounty, BUT it’s a picture of him as a toy and it doesn’t even mention his name, so there is no problem for him. As for Viola, she doesn’t have a bounty and the reason I say this is Doffy was most probably a shichibukai for 10 years because as I said before he cannot stay in an island if he was hunted, so him taking Dressrosa mean he got to shichibukai system 10 years ago and then attacked it, and with that, the WG will not put a bounty on someone who works for him, and also Fuji will try to be blind about her and not give her a bounty after Doffy is down since he knows that she is a princess and that it’s the result of the WG corruption she was with Doffy and to protect her family. So either way, these guys will stay in Dressrosa and will protect it.

            5- Same can be said for Prudence Kingdom with King Elizabetllo and Dagama the tactician.

            6- We have hajroudin who wants to be king of giants, so he most probably needs to stay in Elbaf, and this island is gonna be one of Luffy’s territory as well.

            7- Abdullah, Jet, Slayman and Orlumbus (I don’t know from where they are but they will stay somewhere and protect a place)

            Now that I’ve finished from the 2nd group, I wanna talk about the first group, the pirates who will follow Luffy in his journey. And here is what I think. I believe that Oda is gonna make the New World a bit different in the way they make their journey. See, people like Kidd, Law, Drake and so on, these guys were just like Luffy in the way they sail, an island after an island and so on. But in the new World, we have seen something different. Kidd had a hideout and a base for his pirate crew. And most pirates in the New World do have a main base including all 4 emperors like Shanks and BB who Luffy have a lot of similarity to them as we know.

            That leaves me to believe that Luffy will also have a main base and the journey will be a bit different from now on. They will stay in that Base, if they want to go on a journey to a certain island to explore it and possibly make it his territory, then they go, but after that, they return to that base and not go to the next island immediately. Luffy will need more than one ship in the future in case of there is a problem in one of his territory, and that’s where Luffy orders Bartolomeo’s crew to go and solve that problem. After all Bartolomeo has always wanted to be like that and we all know him being on the main ship is gonna be a bit annoying if he kept fangasming, so that is the best way I see it. Same for Cavindish whom I believe that will be under Luffy in his own ship. As for Bellamy, since he doesn’t have a ship, I really believe that him and Bart built a strong bond, and that he will Join Bart as his right hand man in Bart’s ship.

            If there is a message Luffy wants to deliver to someone and so on, he can send Bart with that message, like they are ambassador of Luffy, just like how Pekoms and Tamago works for Big Mom and how Rockstar is working with Shanks

            There are many reason I say that this is how it is gonna be from now on in the New World.

            1- In the New World, you need to rest after one single journey, the islands are very close to each other unlike before , meaning about only one day journey from an island to another. And going to the next island injured is a big problem.

            2- In this way, all the strawhats will get an enough time to train in their base on the new technique that they have developed during the last journey. For example, if they have a base now (which they don’t), Usopp can train on his haki with Sanji or someone else since he only unlocked it, and with that we get a faster growth in each Strawhat which is better than a whole timeskip just so that Usopp can train it. This way it is better with every strawhat who wants to increase their strength and their techniques. Hell, they might go training with their allies, people Like Cavindish and so on just like how we saw Ace fighting and training with Squard in the flashback

            3- The Strawhat are bound to go back to many islands in the future whether we like it or not. There is Fishman Island which I expect a huge war will happen there and Luffy will definitely go back for it to protect it, and there is Amazon Lily in Calm Belt which was foreshadowed that the SHs crew all of them will pay them a visit (said by Luffy himself before he went to Impel Down, and I will explain later on the reason of their visit)

            So as I see, from now on, the strawhats journey will not be one way to the front, no they will go back to some islands for missions, or a visit and so on. That’s why Luffy will have a hideout and will have a base for his crew like all other pirates do.

            Now, what I want to talk about is what ships in the future I expect it to be under Luffy. And when I say ships I mean fleets other than the sunny under his command.

            What I expect him to have are these fleets and maybe more but these who I remember for now:
            1- Sunny and the main ship with the official SHs members and their number is unknown yet since it’s up to Oda.

            2- “The beautiful pirates” under Cavindish (Let’s face it, he will be just crazy to be popular and what better way than following the future pirate king and not letting Luffy have all the glory Lol)

            3- “Bart club pirates” with Bartolomeo (Captain) and Bellamy (Vice captain)

            4- “The Sun Pirates” under Aladdin (captain) and Jinbie I believe he will join inside the sunny itself, cause when he said that he will break his deal with Big Mom, he told Luffy to invite him on Sunny ship not just being a subordinate on another ship. On the other hand, we can see that the Sun pirates are working for Big Mom now but it seems that Jinbie isn’t the one in charge, that’s why I’m saying Aladdin is the one, besides, they have bounties, so they cannot stay behind in Fishman Island to protect it, so they will have to sail the sea rather than being hunted and Jinbie joining Luffy meaning they also will join Luffy but on their ship. On the other hand, Fishman Island as Luffy’s territories will be guarded by 70,000 soldiers and the prince Fukaboshi who promised Luffy to to rewrite the legend of the Great Neptune Nights by leading the strongest army on the ocean floor according to what they promised.

            5- “Kuja Pirates” lead by Boa Hancock, and before attacking me, here is why I believe their ship will be a subordinate of Luffy. Forget about how obsessed Hancock of Luffy and how much she likes him. I’m gonna talk about events that is about to happen. I meantioned earlier that I will say the reason the SHs pirates will pay a visit to Amazon Lily. The reason is that Hancock will be hunted down by the marines and the WG. Why? Think about it, Fujitora’s main objective is to abolish the shichibukai system. Meaning if that happened, and Hancock has a bounty, hell the WG might even know that she was a slave and she escaped. She is bound to be hunted by the marines and WG. This is where Luffy will declare that Amazon Lily is his territory cause Luffy will not let them suffer as we know. and since Hancock will stay a fujitive who has a bounty, there is not a better choice than her ship joining Luffy under her command while there are a lot of strong Kuja warriors still there on the island to protect it.

            6- And don’t laugh at me, “The legendary pirate Buggy Sensei and his fleet Lol” and the reason is the same reason of Hancock. Shichibukai will be abolished, and the marines already think highly of him as someone very strong because he was on Roger ship and the brother of Shanks Lol. So, this time, Buggy will be hunted down in a way more serious manner than how they ignored him and thought he is a lowly pirate, which is why I believe that he will go under the protection of either Luffy or Shanks, but we all know how he has pride when it comes to Shanks, so he will choose Luffy. Also because I believe that Shanks will die in the future so Buggy is bound to help Luffy eitherway.

            7- “Giant Warrior Pirates” Led by Dorry and Brogy. These two giants topic will be brought again when SHs go to Elbaf. As I said, hajrodin doesn’t have a bounty so he will stay there and protect Elbaf until the day he become king of giants. But there are three Giants who might have a bounty, and will be on that ship, we have Dorry, and Brogy and also we have the Giant from Auction House in Saboady who escaped and he promised that one day he will repay his dept to the SHs. he is a slave, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he has a bounty.

            8- “CP9”, I really believe that against CP0, they will appear and will help the SHs to take them down and since they are fugitives, they cannot stay alone, some are speculating that they are already under kaido, but we all know even if that is true they will not continue that way. That’s why I see two ways for them at the end. Either joining Luffy this way, or they join the Revs. Some are saying they will be under X-Drake, but to be honest I doubt it cause tbh, I hold all the respect to Drake, but I think Lucci is stronger.

            9- And the best allies Luffy can ever have and the pirate crew that their leader have ordered them to protect Luffy and their commander was Luffy’s brother. “The Whitebeard Pirates” lead by Marco. I really believe that they will be under Luffy’s command in the final war. Many people will disagree and will say that this is too much of a fleet, but let me tell you this:

            First, Luffy will not make them under his command right away. No, there will be a looooot of journeys and a lot of arcs before Luffy gain this much power and make these kind of allies under his command. For example, an ally like the “Whitebeard pirates” are only gonna be under Luffy during and after Blackbeard arc. Cause the Whitebeard pirates must have a hand in taking BB down in my opinion due to their history, so they will be under Luffy’s command after that when they go to fight the WG as a whole.

            Secondly, When the SHs go up against the WG as a whole, they are gonna have to fight against 10 important very powerful figures. Cause this fight isn’t just against the marines like before when WB faught against them, no, this time they are gonna face the whole power of the WG including the (Marines + Cipher Pol + The 5 Gorosei). I will neglect CP0 leader, and I will only say there is just 10 people who have an incredible power. they are 3 admirals, 1 fleet admiral, 1 chief of staff, and 5 gorosei (who I believe on a completely different level than the admirals themselves)

            So this army of Luffy even with that power is still lacking and pale compared to the WG. Now of course the Revs will be included and also many other pirate groups in the future of One Piece will be under Luffy, I’m just saying it’s not much. After all, that final war will engulf the whole world like WB said

            Damn, I wrote a lot, I hope you enjoyed this thought about how will Luffy will handle the allies under Luffy, and tell me your thoughts.

            *Theory by Sadistic Senpai

              RORONOA ZORO IS THE DESCENDANT OF RYUMA!?!

              I have a wild idea about Zoro and Ryuma!

              Such as the title says I believe Ryuma and Zoro are related!

              I don’t know how, but I believe Zoro is the direct descendant from Ryuma!

              1.
              To back my theory a little bit up I would start with an SBS where Oda tells the reader which nationality the Strawhats might have in the real world!
              A fan asked this question and Oda replied Japanese for Zoro!

              As we all are the same opinion, that Wano are based on ancient Japan, the possibility for Zoro having his roots there getting a bit higher if you are optimistic as me :rofl:.

              2.
              We know Ryuma from Wano is the same Ryuma from Oda’s previous one-shot manga, Monsters. And when we look at his appearance :

              Ryuma before his death in Monsters!

              He looks almost like Zoro, only the black hair and his Samurai hairstyle are different!
              He even eats one of Zoros favorite attacks “Onigiri”

              Ryuma is also lefthanded just like Zoro, because Samurai have their swords on the right hip when they are lefthanded!

              People might say, that this is to obvious but I don’t think so, Oda managed to link Ryuma from Monsters with One Piece so he could easily do that with Ryuma and Zoro as direct descendants and it does make even sense, at least for me :).

              3. Even the plot with Shusui the national treasure of Wano could be solved, when the Samurais of Wano see the potential of Zoro as a Swordsman. Furthermore if one of the old folks see the similarity in their appearance, then they will acknowledge Zoro as a direct descendant and the only true holder of Shusui and everything is fine.

              Maybe this arc will also give us more backstory about Zoro, why he isn’t on Wano etc.

              4.
              Zoros behavior is just like that of an Samurai, even Vivi gave him the nickname Mr. Bushido. Bushido is the codex/credo of Samurais, a guide of how they live etc.
              People might say, a lot of Swordsman are like that, but that’s false, he really acts like a Samurai and that’s not a coincedence, because I believe Oda plans big things with him in Wano!

              So this are a few little back ups for my theory! I highly believe it!
              ———————————
              So in addition to that I also believe, that I know where exactly in Wano he came from!

              I believe the Wano Kingdom is based on the Book “The Book of Five Rings” from ancient Japan greatest Samurai Miyamoto Musashi!

              The five “books” refer to the idea that there are different elements of battle, just as there are different physical elements in life, as described by Buddhism, Shinto, and other Eastern religions. The five books below are Musashi’s descriptions of the exact methods or techniques which are described by such elements.

              • The Book of Earth chapter serves as an introduction, and metaphorically discusses martial arts, leadership, and training as building a house.
              • The Book of Water chapter describes Musashi’s style, Ni-ten ichi-ryu, or “Two Heavens, One Style”. It describes some basic technique and fundamental principles.
              • The Book of Fire chapter refers to the heat of battle, and discusses matters such as different types of timing.
              • The Book of Wind chapter is something of a pun, since the Japanese character can mean both “wind” and “style” (e.g., of martial arts). It discusses what Musashi considers to be the failings of various contemporary schools of swordfighting.
              • The Book of the Void chapter is a short epilogue, describing, in more esoteric terms, Musashi’s probably Zen-influenced thoughts on consciousness and the correct mindset.

              So I believe Wano Kingom is splitted in 5 areas/islands where 5 different techniques of fighting dominating each area/island.
              This is also why the names of Samurai are spelled that way!

              Foxfire Kinemon is from the Fire area/island where the best fire-technique Samurais came from

              Jigoro of the wind is from the wind area/island

              Shilew of the rain is from the water area/island etc!

              There’s also the earth area/island where they specialized in earth based techniques!

              Every island hast a different clima (snow,hot, autumn etc)
              Since Zoros favorite island is a autum in a autum island I believe his descendants came from a Wano autum island where all the Sakura trees losing their leaves just like the Japanese love.

              But the most important is the void island, it’s very related to the void century, it’s almost destroyed for 800 years ago from the Worldgoverment who were able to control dragons, that’s why Samurai hate Dragons.

              Only a Poneglyph left and there are only a few Samurai Grand Masters who know the secret techniques! Zoro will learn those techniques when he shows he’s worthy!

              Btw I believe the best Swordssmiths of the world are in Wano and we will know more about the Wado Ichi Monji and that Kojiro is also from Wano!

              Hope you enjoyed it guys!

                Wano Kuni Arc: Ninjas, Sanji & Zoro Theory

                Ok , so we all know that Wano Kuni Arc is coming sooner or later and the Samurai will be the main focus. A lot of people are uber excited for this arc because this will be “Zoro’s arc”. I believe Sanji will get his fair share of development this arc too.

                In Punk Hazard when Nami used her Thunder Trap he was using hand signs to do a “Samurai impression” , which Usopp clearly stated was a “Ninja Impression”. After seeing her technique Kin’emon was surprised believing that she just used Ninjutsu.

                1

                We all know people from Wano Kuni have closed door politics and they do not know a lot about the outside world. The fact that Kin’emon knew about Ninja and Ninjutsu and the fact that Ninja are part of Japan(The place we all know Wano Kuni is based of) history and in a way Samurai’s opponents makes me believe that Wano Kuni is in fact inhabited by Ninja as well.

                No doubt Zoro will be the main attraction in Wano Kuni. Not only does he posses the sword of the legendary samurai Ryuma ( We all know how Kin’emon reacted when he first saw it) , but he is also interested in Samurai’s way of the sword and Kin’emon’s technique. Probably he will also get to face his strongest opponent so far (Except Mihawk, he doesn’t count :D) . Here are some scans that made me believe Zoro will learn a new technique during Wano Kuni. That technique will probably have something to do with fire.

                2

                3

                4

                Why the fu*k am I even talking about all of this? Well, as I said I believe we will see Ninja in the upcoming Wano Kuni Arc and I happen to believe Sanji will also achieve a new technique! Why? Because Ninja are cunning, tacticians,they are spies and specialise in intel gathering. Who else is like that? This guy :

                5

                Now, a lot of people believe Momonosuke is related to the Shogun and this gave me two ideas of how the Ninja can be included in the Wano Kuni Arc.

                1.The Ninja are trying to kidnap or attack Momonosuke or plan to attack the Shogun ( as a subplot, the main plot being the whole Kaido situation) and Sanji will get a Ninja opponent and maybe he will observe and learn a technique related to the art of deceiving (speed related maybe , afterimages, speed clones?!)
                2. Because Wano Kuni is fighting Kaido and leaving under his strong hand both the Ninja and Samurai are working and plotting together , because Kaido is to much of a thread and there is no time for rivalries. While Zoro is busy with the main plot, Sanji will disappear again ( he does it all the time) and maybe (just in case Zoro recieve some training himself) get trained by a Ninja ( not a huge training , maybe just some advice so that Sanji can create a new technique).

                Luffy has Gear 4th , Zoro will probably learn something new during this arc , and after this arc we will probably fight a Yonko ( or maybe they will fight their first Yonko in this arc)… There is not much time left for Sanji to get a power up, so this is the best chance for him to get his deserved “power up”.

                Other points that ( for me , of course) support this “theory/idea” is the fact that Zoro and Sanji are portrayed as rivals,equals and also I believe there’s a theme of Samurai-Ninja going on with Zoro and Sanji .( again this is just me… :D )

                I would like to know what you guys believe. Will we ever see Ninja in One Piece ? Will Sanji get his fair share of develeopment durin Wano Kuni Arc ?

                  THE CELESTIAL DRAGON’S TREASURE; WHY THEY NEED BONNEY AND HOW DOFFY WAS GOING TO UTILIZE IT

                  1

                  From what Doffy said, we know that the CD’s have some sort of treasure, furthermore if the public knew about this treasure it would be bad for the WG. Why don’t the CD’s want the public to know about the treasure? Well i believe that this is because this treasure is actually the ancient weapon Uranus. Now what does it do?? Well i believe Uranus works very similar the the weapon “Etherion” from Fairy Tail

                  2

                  Etherion is a magic weapon that has the ability to create a destructive beam of light that can target any location. I believe that Uranus is very similar; i think Uranus has the ability to launch powerful laser beams which will target any location. This means that even if you are on the complete opposite side of the planet, you will still be inside the range of Uranus. This makes a lot of sense if Uranus utilized lasers, since Uranus is the God of the sky’s and heavens and light is often associated with heaven and sky. However, i believe their is a downside to using Uranus, that being: Uranus will drain the life of it’s user making them age considerably or die. Now this is the reason why the government needs two devil fruits, these fruits belong too:

                  kooooooo

                  First Law; Law has the ability to make anyone immortal. This is why Doflamingo needed the Ope Ope no mi too use immortality surgery on him; by being immortal, Doffy would have the ability to use Uranus without any side affects, making Doffy have equal power too that of a Yonko. The government also needs Bonney; as you know, Bonney’s fruit allows her to alter her age. This means that even if she becomes old due to the affects of Uranus, she can become a child again and use her power too keep on spamming Uranus. This is why the government wants her; many people speculate the the government wants her so that she can make the Gorosei young again, however i believe that is one part of the reason they want her. It is very likely that their is at least one person in the Gorosei that has no devil fruit and is a haki master; i believe that the WG wants to kill Bonney and steal her DF so that one of the Gorosei can eat it. If one of the Gorosei eats that DF, they would be immortal since they would never be old; furthermore they can now easily spam the ability of Uranus without having to sacrifice the lives of slaves and other people.

                    WHITEBEARD’S FORMER FIRST DIVISION COMMANDER

                    In this theory i would discuss about the past of Kaido and his relationship with Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard.

                    theorya

                    I want this to be a quick, short thread and I want to give credits to Boris Anime of Youtube because I heard this theory from him, I would expand on his theory and add some more details.

                    Let’s start.

                    I would like to say this outright: I believe Kaido is the original first mate and right hand man of Whitebeard.

                    First off, It is interestingly weird that Marco the Phoenix, his current first mate, seems to be a young adult just by looking at him, unless his Phoenix fruit grants him youth.

                    But, even his whole crew is at least half his age, excluding Blackbeard, which I believe is older than he looks.

                    Even half of Whitebeard’s crew aren’t even strong enough to stand up to Shanks, while its not a definite hint that they are greenhorns, Shanks also never seem to know Marco which is weird since Marco is Whitebeard’s first mate.

                    Unless he is new on Whitebeard’s Pirates.

                    Also, the next thing to observe is that upon Ace’s recruitment aboard Whitebeard’s ship, Ace was offered for the 2nd Division Commander position, and it was noted that it had been open for sometime.

                    So by assumption, its either the 2nd commander died or left, or Marco was the former 2nd Division Commander and he got promoted to being the first mate.

                    Eitherway, it meant that there’s a missing person in the Commanders of Whitebeard, and I believe that was Kaido.

                    If we base it on the 4 Guardians of Japanese Mythology, we would determine that Kaido is based of Seiryuu the Blue Dragon and Whitebeard is based of Byakko the White Tiger.

                    While it doesnt mean much, Seiryuu guards the East and Byakko means West, so there had to be some connection between these two.

                    And if that’s not enough, I would say Whitebeard and Kaido are Yin and Yang, which when together are a good pair, but also contrast each other really bad.

                    And what does Yin and Yang represents as well? Dragon and Tiger, Seiryuu and Byakko: I believe this is the reference for Kaido and Whitebeard.

                    I would assume that since Kaido and Whitebeard had differing opinions, Kaido took half of Whitebeard’s crew with him and moved on to became the Kaido Pirates.

                    And that’s when Marco and other commanders came in for Whitebeard, reason why Kaido also seems to hold a grudge against Whitebeard and it manifests when he tried to intercept Whitebeard during the “War of the Best” at Marineford.
