Crazy Theories and Predictions

How exactly does one Vegapunk can eat or sleep for all others?

Supposedly they synchronize their memories every day with the main brain, but that doesn't explain one can magically poop for another

I'm definitely not holding out for any reasonable explanation for this one. I just rationalize it that brains use a huge amount of energy, and Vegapunk has essentially modularized his own brain into separate tasks so that it can be improved on multiple vectors, simultaneously. One of those vectors would be "energizing" the brain. I imagine the brain they share likely needs energy to function, and York chowing down constantly is likely how they manage to continue their work. The shitting is probably less directly related to them and more related to the fact that York just ate a fuck-ton of food. Sleeping would be similar. Gotta recharge.

 

[HereNThere]

Basically what I think as well. Their bodies feel the "phantom" feeling of the need, like hunger or fatigue, but York fulfills that desire and passes the "benefits" to the other bodies.

Expanding on the Blackbeard theory:


Im originates from the Ancient Kingdom

Vegapunk is copying the Ancient Kingdom technology, including splitting his mind

The Gorosei are Im's satellites

The National Treasure consumes the lifespan of the user, but that's not a problem since the Gorosei are replaceable

Was there a sixth Gorosei in the past?

Rocks and Blackbeard are clones who escaped, hence why Rocks wanted to take Im's place, and why Blackbeard body is so strange

Not bad at all, but there's a problem: The mind splitting is only possible thanks to the Nomi Nomi no Mi.
While it is possible to replicate Devil Fruits, I hardly can see that as the power of Im, then there wouldn't have ever been any need for Vegapunk to develop weapons in the first place.

But...as I said, I am still going with Im is Luffy.

I think that fruit only allow Vegapunk to have infinite knowledge

 

[FetherMan]

Imu-sama is from the Ancient Kingdom. Plus, I think it’s a woman and founder of Celestial Dragons.

Egghead Island will turn out like Impel Down. Vegapunk will not technically die, but his actual body will instead.

Brief fight will break out between WG and BB pirates. Aokiji and Kizaru will fight.

 

[McNuss]

I think it’s a woman

One thing, why is everyone so sold on the "evil woman" idea?
What message would you produce by that?
An "evil woman" as the manipulative mastermind behind everything, controlling all these strong men, which essentially means the patriarchat is nothing but a woman's manipulative scheme to be the one and only leader... I don't know wether that is such a good narrative...

It also undermines Vivi as the main political reformer, which seems to be her EoS, considering how much her political skills and ethics have been highlighted and how all other Straw Hats are either incapable or uninterested. Why would a woman be needed if women are manipulative and evil? Especially with Big Mom already in this direction?

It also speaks for itself that the only major female villain, and only one that is fought by the male main cast, is an acid-drooling mentally deranged bag of meat.
Brutalizing a woman has been a common theme amongst the main villains, such as with Arlong, Crocodile, Enel, Spandam, Hody, Doflamingo...
We had all these evil men, and the community somewhat wants the story to end on the note that woman are actually worse?
Could you see Luffy beating up someone with a Nami body type, and would that sit well with you reading it? Punch the titties inwards? I don't think this works in Oda's artstyle...

 

[WILDCARD 1 7]

Akainu will get off his ass and be the big bad for Elbaf. Since where in the final saga Oda needs to get him move again.
Shanks will fight Luffy just a nuff to see if he his worthy to keep Rogers hat. Then the really battle with be with Akainu.
During the battle Blackbeard will come in and and kill Shanks.

Cross Guild's next move will involve Captain Johns treasure.

Fugitora will be a temporary Fleet Admiral (in the same way that Kakashi was Hokage)because of his actions in getting ride of the Warlord's system.
Fugitora reinstates Aokiji at the end of the series. Aokiji will become fleet admiral afterward, followed by Coby some time later.

Regardless of how this is done, it would explain how Blackbeard never sleeps and possibly how he can eat two fruits

Gotta file that question under "It's a manga", right next to healing bones and teeth with milk. Physically/chemically/phychologically speaking, humans require sleep to function. Without sleep, our bodies slowly "fall apart", starting with cognition and memory, then blood pressure, digestive issues, kidney and liver function, et cetera. When we sleep, our blood pressure drops. The blood vessels in your brain shrink, and your body uses the "extra space" as a canal for flushing out "waste". Sounds wacky, I know, but proven in scans.

Art immitates life. Women are still overlooked when it comes to ability. That means that they are able to do a lot more damage, due to being underestimated as a threat. Luffy DOD fight Alvida, pre and post slip-slip fruit, and she was attractive.

People want Im to be female because there's a lack of good female villains. Just like they wanted a female (or female-looking) character to join.

Big Mom is a villain with a silly design, but so does other villains such Wapol, Trebol, Queen, and many others.

One Piece got its share of diversity among female villains: Perona, Devon, Black Maria, etc.

You that worked up over the idea of it being a woman versus a man?.

Imu is going to do something about Beehive Island soon, maybe not go all Deathstar on it but with do something more direct about, and this will tip off Blackbeard too his existence.

Many people seem to believe that the UFO that destroyed the Lulusia Kingdom may be the ancient weapon Uranus

But I don't think that's the case:

1) It's not powerful enough.

The Ancient Weapons are said to be capable of destroying the world. The WG is so afraid of Pluton that I don't think they are safe at Mary Geoise, meaning it can damage the world's continent. How many Sea Kings can Poseidon control? Only the dozen that appeared in Fish-man Island, or... all Sea Kings in the planet?

The UFO has power equivalent of Enel's ship. The UFO only needs the ability to fly, with its projectiles coming from a Logia user or some Pacifistas onboard.

2) The theme is off.

Pluton, the god of the "underworld", is a battleship. The symbolism is a bit more abstract than Uranus being literally a flying machine.

3) It would be repetitive.

Pluton is a battleship, Poseidon a mermaid that can control the Sea Kings, and Uranus... another ship but that flies? I don't think so.

I'm a bit surprised something that can destroy a kingdom in a single shot is considered too weak.

What do you suggest the UFO can be?

Just a machine used by the WG.

Story-wise it's an upgraded Buster Call.

I wonder if it will appear in Egghead, but I suspect Vegapunk may have the means to counter it.

Yea like that Giant Robot in the basement, I mean we have yet to see it's arsenal so lol.

 

[hokageji]

What if the Gorosei are splits of Imu, just like Vegapunks

 

[Vanshrimp]

after seeing garp's attack, we can safely assume that god valey was destroyed by a clash between garp, roger and rocks...

 

[Lord Rayleigh]

How is it safe? Garp nuked the plaza with his punch destroying all buildings but he didn’t destroy the island making it disappear with the earth removed and ground level back to the ocean floor like what happened in Lulusia. God Valley most likely suffered the same weapon than Lulusia did.

 

[WILDCARD 1 7]

You guys think the missing race is just elves? I mean we got everything else. Dragons, Giant's, Beastmen (Minks), Dwarfs, Oni, and Mermaids. But we have yet to see Elves the second poster child for fantasies behind Dragons. And if I'm being honest it would be kinda weird if we didn't get them or at least a mention of them after getting everything else.

Caribou is going to steal a copy of the Straw Hats copy's of the Road Poneglyphs soon and give them to "you know who".
