Tashigi and Kuina

trivia

1. Myth: They are twins!

Fact: Kuina is seen as a baby and as an only child in Chapter 0.

2. Myth: They are the same character.

Fact: So far they are only considered different characters and no evidence has been stated to say otherwise since Kuina’s body is seen in the manga. This is mainly due to how 4Kids changed her death to an injury, from which many fans assumed the injury Kuina sustained was connected to Tashigi’s bad eye sight. Tashigi was drawn as a child in an SBS, and her appearance was very different from Kuina’s, making it clear that she and Kuina are separate characters.

    POSSIBLE FORESHADOW OF STRAW HATS STEALING PONEGLYPH FROM KAIDO

    We all know that you can just steal a paper from people who wrote down what’s on poneglyphs, but what does Luffy think about it?
    He is not happy with that, given that he showed us his Donald Trump face.
    So, how can they steal poneglyphs? Can they just carry them? Well, I think there are 2 images that foreshadow this.
    First one:
    [​IMG]
    Wadatsumi is carrying a Poneglyph on his head.

    Second one:

    Look at the pattern on Luffy’s clothes – the Kozuki clan.

    But what kind of significance does the clothing bring, you may ask
    Well, try to remember who from Kozuki clan ate a very strange fruit, and since the day he ate that fruit, he could turn objects that are put on head into clothes.
    Still doesn’t ring a bell?
    This guy:

    They have a foolproof plan – they steal poneglyphs by literally wearing them, and then Kanjuro, with Usopp’s help, draws a new Poneglyph where the old one was so no one can suspect a thing! I think it’s a perfect scheme.

      Law And The Voice Of All Things

      After last chapters, many people in OP community started speculating that the fact Momonosuke is hearing a voice makes him somewhat related to the ability of hearing Voice of All Things!

      Most likely, the main hint is this panel, that may be a reference to Roger, the one we know for sure that had this ability:

      Actually, way ago (December 21, 2015), I’ve done a theory video in my channel exposing my ideas that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi knew Gol D. Roger, that we would have a Poneglyph in Zou and that most likely Roger was able to “hear” it.

      Seems like, maybe, some of my ideas can be proven right in the near future. If not, well, by the time it was a good theory xD, haha.

      Anyway, one think that REALLY caught my attention and people aren’t commenting is Law’s expression while climbing the tree.

      Why is he so uneasy? So unconfortable? And why did Oda (which clearly is trying to faster the story’s pace) make sure he showed Law’s expression to us?

      Also, inside the tree, while everybody’s freaking out with Raizou, Law is still uneasy. It can be due to the awkward situation, but maybe not. Also, we can’t asure he’s looking at Raizo instead of the Poneglyph, which is supposed to be from where the “voice” comes

      Anyway, if Law can “hear” the the Voice of All Things too, it open possibilities:

      – Gol D Roger
      – Monkey D Luffy
      – Trafalgar D Water Law

      So…. does it means that this ability is related to the D clan?
      Anyway, Luffy never heard a Poneglyph (although he seems to have the ability to hear the Voice of All Things). Is this ability something that you awaken somehow or train, something like that?

      Second interesting topic: does this mean that Momonosuke (and the rest of the Kougetsu/Kouzuki family) is a D???

      Well… guess we’ll learn a little more about it all by the chapter that’s coming tomorrow.

      Thanks for reading

        ZORO AND LAW “THE BADASS DUO” VS JACK INCOMING

        After the recent chapter, many people believe that we will propably have a Jack vs Strawhats showdown and i am one of them!

        But, i still believe it’s gonna be a seperation between the strawhats!

        Luffy will take few people with him(I believe except for Pekoms, Raizou will join him as well) and Zoro with Law will prepare for the trip to Wano!

        However, there is a small obstacle… none other that Jack himself…! and i will explain why…

        We know that he went on a rescue mission to save Doflamingo from getting imprison!

        In addition, we know he is heading to Impel Down!

        Now, let’s look the map…

        As you can see,Impel Down is on the west while the strawhats are in the opposite direction(east/Zou).

        We know that Jack , managed to attack the marines before reaching Impel Down!

        Also, we know that he left the island the same day Doflamingo was defeated!That was 11 days ago…! And base on chapter 807(ten days ago) half of the strawhats reached Zou!

        So, if i have to take a guess… the distance at that time(It’s a moving island) between Dressrosa and Zou was approximately 1-2 days at most!(read chapter 807 , it will help you understand how many days has passed since entering the NW!Base on my calculations they are 14-15 days)

        Taken into consideration the analysis i just made, it’s highly possible that he managed to catch up with the navy really quick!

        If we also take into the account that the navy left Dressrosa the third day after the battle…!2

        It is beautifully adds up!

        In my opinion, Jack managed to catch up around here!

        In the proccess managed to sink two ships, but sustained some injuries and considered dead…

        However,he failed to retrieve doflamingo and base on the last chapter, he is alive and by the looks of it, he is been accompanied by a large fleet!

        So, guys let’s refresh our memory!

        What was his initial mission?
        To retrieve Raizou!
        And where he is now?
        He is on Zou!
        So, what he is going to do?
        He is going to complete, his unfinished mission!

        I think it’s a pretty logical way of thinking , don’t you think?

        Even if he wants to go somewhere else, he has to pass to Zou…!

        I think it’s very unlikely to move on , straight to Big Mom’s tea party… I doubt he even knows anything about it…

        Also, take note that the battle between him and the navy occured around 8 days ago(11-3=8…xD)!

        He had 8 whole days to rest,to heal,to prepair(fleet)and to travel back on Zou to put an end to his unfinished business!

        So, he must be pretty close to Zou!

        That means a SHOWDOWN!I can feel the hype!:)

        In my opinion, since there is the Sanji matter on one hand and the Jack matter on the other , they will have no choice but to split!

        But why split and not go all together to save Sanji?

        1.Luffy said he will go alone, although i doubt he will be completely alone… he will take at least two![Pekoms and Raizou(stealth)… they will sneak!]

        2.I think it was foreshadowed that, it’s going to be a match between Zoro vs Jack!
        a)They both are the right hand man of their captains!
        b)They both use swords as weapons
        c)When the minks were talking about Jack, Oda focused on Zoro twice for a reason!c011

        3.There is no way Zoro, will go after Sanji after making that speech1

        4.The strawhats befriended the minks and i don’t think they will leave them at their fate…Luffy will entrust Zoro with the mission to protect them any way he can!I believe Law will stay too, since his good friend Bepo is from Zou!Let’s not forget they are still many of them injured

        5.Lastly… maybe one of the biggest mysteries… the moon!
        We have yet to be relieved , what happens when the full moon is out!

        I think i gave you some solid points!

        To move on with the last part of my theory!

        The last part of this theory will be a speculation, but if you think about it , it will might make some sense!

        I think in this fight we will have a Law and Zoro vs Jack battle, like we had the Law and Luffy combination against Doflamingo!
        So, this combination could be turn out to be true!

        Also, they are similar in personalities…both badass,cool,serious and bloodthirsty when they fight!

        In my opinion, this duo will be amazing!

        To conclude, i think we will have a big revelation regarding Zoro’s past from the moment he will release his demonic spirit!
        Yes, i think this will be the fight that we will see him go all out!

        This will be the moment when Zoro will trully connect to Wano and it will ignite his desire to go to Wano even more and learn about his past and lineage!

        I don’t know how the fight will turn out… but i believe , during this fight Jack will tell him about his demonic/cursed clan or lineage and to how he might connect to one of his future enemies!

        I hope you enjoyed my theory

          Lola’s Mother is the final Yonko – Myth & Fact

          Myth: Lola said that her mother is an incredibly powerful pirate, and that Nami should try to find her if she was in trouble. She’s probably the last Yonko, Big Mom! The Yonko are said to control the New World, where Lola comes from, and Big Mom’s jolly roger features stout red lips, a feature that Lola has.

          111231022356554677

          Fact: The final Yonko is revealed to be called Charlotte Linlin, but there is still no confirmation that she is Lola’s mother.

            BIG MOM HAS THE SPIDER DEVIL FRUIT

            Here’s another one for ya guys: Big Mom could have the Spider Spider Fruit.

            [​IMG]

            This whole Idea started from the fact that CHARLOTTE’S Web is about a spider that has the same name as BIG MOM. Then I started thinking and researching on spiders more and found some interesting connections. Let me show you them:

            [​IMG]
            Spiders can lay more than 500 eggs.
            -good reason why Big Mom has 35 daughters

            Spiders eat insects but do not eat plants
            -Big Mom, since she has massive power as a Yonko, might see humans as “insects”. And she doesnt eat “vegetables(plants)”, only sweets.

            Interesting enough, i found out that female spiders eat their mates even while mating.
            -It Explains why she eats her own kind. Humans.

            Spiders can use VENOM
            -Big Mom’s nasty ass saliva could be mixed with the venom and acid in her body. So that stuff is probably DEADLY. Watch out for the big mom. All she has to do is drool on you and you’re dead. A YONKO’s power.

            Now I didnt say anything about “webs”. I just said that she has the “spider” fruit because I really don’t want her to be another doflamingo.

            I don’t know much about card games, but everyone that has owned a windows xp should know the game, Spider Solitaire.
            -Oda seems to be using card games in the story now. Maybe Big Mom could’ve came from this. Who knows?

            Anyways, thanks for reading. Please tell me what you think down below.

              ROGER’S 4 RED PONEGLYPHS: BIG MAM, KAIDOU AND THE WANO SHOGUN

              We learned five things in the last chapter:

              1) There are 4 Poneglyphs
              2) The 4 Poneglyphs together shows the location to Raftel
              2) Kaidou and Big Mam each has a poneglyph
              3) The Kozuki clan created the Poneglyphs
              4) Oden Kozuki, the father of Momonosuke, was a member of Gol D. Roger’s crew
              5) Oden Kozuki was executed by Kaidou and the Shogun of Wano.

              How is all of this connected? I’ll get straight to the point like I always do.

              It was said that the 4 yonkou were the ones closest to One Piece and it seems that was stated in a literal sense. WB and Shanks knows how to get to Raftel so the Red Poneglyphs are “worthless” and Kaidou and Big Mam each has one. Shanks does NOT have a red poneglyph.

              Kaidou stole a red poneglyph and Big Mam was ENTRUSTED with another by Roger himself. I’m not joking.
              ***************

              The 4 Red Poneglyphs

              Oden Kozuki was a member of the Roger Pirates so of course he knows the history of the Void Century. With the new info that it was the Kozuki who made the Poneglyphs, it is blatantly apparent that Wano fought along side the Ancient Kingdom.

              As we know, the AK, which includes Wano, was defeated with Wano itself being split in two and half of it siding with the 20 Kingdoms, giving rise to the marines’ swordsmanship training and the Bald Gorosei.

              Being one of the AK’s strongest allies, Wano or just the Kouzuki clan, made the poneglyphs and 4 red ones detailing how to get to Raftel and they were given to 4 ally nations: Elbaf, an unknown place, Zou and of course Wano. I think the last red poneglyph is in Elbaf.

              The 4 red poneglyphs show the location to Raftel when the 4 of them are deciphered meaning, Gol D Roger used the Voice of All Things to follow its guidance leading him to Raftel, implying that the red poneglyphs are not in the WG’s hands.

              Roger’s crew scattered after Raftel was discovered and one of the red poneglyphs ending up in the protection a former Roger Pirate or ally: Big Mam.
              **************

              Kaidou, Wano and the Red Poneglyph

              Why would the Shogun of Wano joined Kaidou and murder Oden Kozuki? Because Oden was deemed a traitor.

              Wano used to be under the protection of WB(after he saved it from Kaidou) but after the death of WB, Kaidou returned. This time however, things would be different. Why? Because Oden Kozuki told the Wano Shogun some info of the Void Century and I believe they were trusted friends.

              Like the other Roger pirates, Oden was awaiting Roger’s successor but when Oden told his friend the Shogun about the history, the Shogun was pissed. Not only was the pissed upset at what he heard, he was filled with greed and wanted to more. The Shogun of Wano wanted a war; a war where Wano can get its revenge on this world of lies and a sense of greed for getting ultimate power.

              Oden was of course against the Shogun’s irrational behavior but there was someone invading them that shared the shogun’s ideals:

              100 Beast Kaidou

              Kaidou thinks the world is hollow and should perish. He wants to engulf the world in the greatest war ever and the Shogun had similar motives(also, Kaidou’s wanting to commit suicide for his failures is similar to samurai committing suicide when shamed). Things got worse when the Shogun sided with Kaidou and told the beast what he knew. Yes people…Kaidou knows some of the history too. He knows what the Shogun knows. This made Kaidou want the Red Poneglyph by any means thanks to Whitebeard himself.

              Kaidou recalled that WB said that whoever finds the OP would cause the world to be engulfed in a war and with the Red Poneglyph that is a key to Raftel’s location is in his possession, he goal is one step closer.

              However, Kaidou can’t do a thing with the Kozuki clan. The Shogun and Kaidou thinks the members of the Kozuki clan(Momo, Kinemon, Kajnuro and Raizou) can somehow decipher the red poneglyph. This is one for the reasons the fled Wano for Zou and also how Kaidou knew to send Jack specifically to Zou. Both Kaiodu and the Shogun want to know what the red poneglyphs says.

              For a second scenario, the shogun could just be a coward and decided to join the winning side.
              *************

              Big Mam, Roger and the Red Poneglyph

              First of all, how does Nekomunashi know that Big Mam has a red poneglyph?

              I think Big Mam was a former member or at least an ally of the Roger Pirates. Why? A few reasons…

              In previous theories, I came to the conclusion that the Ancient Kingdom and the D clan is based off South America or at least, the mythical cities of South America.

              Big Mam also has connections to WB who was a friend of Zou and Wano.

              Nothing concrete, I this is the reason why I think Big Mam was either entrusted with or was able to get her hands a Red Poneglyph. I also think that this is the reason Germa 66 are going business with her; they want that poneglyph. It also increase the chances of Big Mam becoming an ally of Luffy since he seemingly has Kaidou AND half of Wano after his head.
              ******************

              -Roger dies
              -Kaidou invades Wano
              -WB(who Roger told everything about Raftel), chased Kaidou away to Wano his territory.
              -Big Mam gets her hands on a Ted Poneglyph
              -WB dies and Kaidou returns to Wano
              -Big Mam makes deals with Germa 66 over the Red Poneglyph
              -The Shogun sides with Kaidou and tries to froce the Kozuki to decipher the red poneglyph
              -Oden dies(with a smile? a ‘D’)? to let his son and retainers escape
              -The Kozuki clan flee to Zou for assistance and shelter
              -Jack arrives at Zou to retrieve Raizou

                KOUZUKI FAMILY’S LINKS WITH THE ANCIENT KINGDOM

                Recently we were introduced to the Kougetsu family, which was re-named the “Kouzuki” family.

                Kou + Getsu = Deep Red/Crimson + Moon

                Kou + Zuki = Light + Moon

                However, with deeper searches, I found out that Kou also means “Scarlet”:

                Kou + Zuki = Scarlet/Light + Moon

                 

                Notice how Kouzuki/Kougetsu are both associated with the Moon.

                The Red Poneglyph & The Kouzuki Family Crest

                Seeing as how Kouzuki can mean “Scarlet Moon”, and scarlet is a deep red colour, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kouzuki family were the ones who were involved with the creation/placing of the Red Poneglyph in Zou.

                If this were true, then it would mean that they had strong links with the Ancient Kingdom.

                Interestingly, the colour red is usually affiliated with happiness in Japanese culture, unlike Western culture where it represents negativity (danger, death etc…)

                So what if the Red Poneglyph doesn’t tell us of any thing bad, but rather, something good:
                I was thinking that it might’ve talked about how the Kouzuki & Minks became united due to the AK helping out. Just speculation though.

                We also know that Wano has no links with the World Government, its fighters being so strong that they even scare away marines.

                This would mean that during the Void Century, the 20 Kingdoms were perhaps unable to invade and destroy Wano Kingdom – thus the Wano may know a lot about the happenings of that time since they survived.

                 

                Luffy interested?
                Luffy rarely ever cares for such things.
                Usually he starts snoring, picking his nose, or outright says he doesn’t care.

                It’s interesting that Oda chose to show Luffy being actually interested in what “Kouzuki” is.

                Most of us can agree by now that the Ancient Kingdom was probably alien in origin, possibly coming from the moon.

                Look at this:

                [IMG]

                Don’t the 8 balls surrounding the bigger ball at the centre of the crane resemble the 8 phases of the Moon around Earth?

                Defo interesting. Another link with the Moon.

                Furthermore, the crane crest may be based on the real life Daimyo crane crest:

                [IMG]

                I found out that it’s also the symbol for the Japan Airlines:

                [IMG]

                Could the Kouzuki’s Kamon represent freedom?
                The red represents happiness.

                Additionally, the Tsuru Kamon (Crane Family Crest) is usually affiliated with royalty in Japan.

                Look at this:

                There are several Crane-Kamons on Luffy’s kimono – could this have been a foreshadowing of the Kouzuki, or also, have been a foreshadowing of Luffy being of royalty.

                It’s a common theory that Luffy is descended from Joy Boy (King of the AK), and thus is of royalty.

                If we dig deeper, it could be a link between the D. People (AK People) and the Kouzuki.

                Since the Crane-Kamon is common in Japan, it could just be a coincidence.
                But we know that Oda doesn’t add things for nothing.

                [IMG]

                Remember this?

                How about this?

                [IMG]

                Seems familiar.

                Seeing as how the first symbol represents the Celestial Dragons, could the second symbol represent the Ancient Kingdom?
                Or more particularly, an important ‘sub’-symbol of the Ancient Kingdom.

                Seeing the links between the Kouzuki Family and the Ancient Kingdom, I wouldn’t be surprised if the main royalty (Oden & Momo) of the Kouzuki Family are actually D. in origin.
                By D. I mean being descendants of the Ancient Kingdom.

                As we know, the Ancient Kingdom had a unity of different countries (e.g. Fishman Island, Shandora etc…), so since the Kouzuki were likely part of that unity, their main royalty could’ve been related to them.

                Momonosuke, like his father, can hear the “Voice Of All Things” (perhaps Law too since he’s drawn silent in the same row), and Neko & Inua say that someone else they remember could too.
                It could’ve been Roger.

                Seeing as so far all of those who could hear the Voice Of All Things are D. People (descendants of the AK), then perhaps the main royalty of the Kouzuki Family are descendants too.

                8 Races = 8 Balls

                Here we see 9 different Races.
                But since the Fishmen and Merfolk live together, we can count this as 8.

                If not the moon phases, could the 8 small balls in the crest be a reference to these 8 ‘Races’.

                This is all speculation though, as so far we haven’t gotten too much info on the Kouzuki Family.

                  Kuma’s Intention

                  Myth: Kuma separated the Straw Hat Pirates so they can become stronger.

                  Zoro,_Luffy,_and_Sanji_Attack_PX-4

                  Fact: The full reason behind Kuma separating the Straw Hat Pirates is still unknown though a great deal of evidence seems to point to this myth being proven at least partially true.

                  By Chapter 591, it was revealed that Kuma wished to save the Straw Hats. Sentomaru also stated that the user of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi can control where to send people, which was also proven by the fact that Perona was sent to a dark castle like she wanted. The Straw Hats then landed on suspiciously convenient spots (like Zoro ending up on Mihawk’s island and Nami on an island dedicated to studying the weather). This evidence strongly supports the myth’s veracity. Even so, until it is confirmed, this cannot be taken as a fact.

                    Straw Hat Death – Myth & Fact

                    Myth: Oda stated a crew member will die!

                    Fact: Possibly one of the most famous forum rumors. Back in 2003, Oda was claimed to have given verbal word that a member of the Straw Hats will die. At the time, the series was still in Skypiea.

                    The story goes (as often told by long-term fans) that later on when this did not happen, Oda said sorry as things had not gone as planned. The member of the crew that was suppose to die in 2003 is said to have been the Going Merry, which was originally planned to go down then. When Skypiea played out for too long, the death of the Going Merry was delayed for 3 years while Oda finished the other arcs before it and (eventually) led the storyline up to the end of the Going Merry at the end of the Enies Lobby arc.
