Now the subsequent big elephant in the room that makes my head spin: is Sanji’s rule to never fight a woman an excuse to justify getting hit? Zoro has a very strong approach on not hitting a woman yet he never ended up in the same kind of situations where he gets beaten and about to die like...

When we think about Sanji’s weakness, there is an interesting point during Thriller Back arc. Zoro proposed to sacrifice his life because he knew he couldn’t fight anymore and they would all die anyway if they were to face the warlord. He made a simple cost/outcome comparison and came with " If...

I can’t help but think about Ivankov and Crocodile. If Ivankov was Sanji’s greatest nightmare because he learnt the deep weakness of Sanji’s heart, then maybe it was the same thing with Crocodile. He also talked about revealing Crocodile’s weakness if he didn’t behave in Impel Down which may...

I think Oda is going to make Sanji learn that Zoro managed to use Haoushoku to beat his God’s Knight opponent to make it awaken it as part of their rivalry. I still didn’t understand how it worked here for Zoro against Sommers. The chapter translation is very unclear.

Zoro released Haoushoku Haki coating without controlling it exactly like Luffy released uncontrolled Haoushoku Haki blast in Flying Fish Riders ocean base, in Amazon Lily, in Impel Down and in Marineford. It was very clear to me that Zoro didn’t control Haoushoku coating against King. He let all...

The fact that there are 2 Nika Sun Gods in Elbaf mythology - one being a Warrior God of Liberation and one being a Warrior God of Destruction - indicates to me that there is room for 2 different DFs. The DFs were said to be relics of previous users’ dreams that were achieved through technology...

The Impel Down which were Awakened DF users that lost their minds to their animal spirits didn’t change Zoan color compared to Zoan animals. The fact that this God of Destruction Nika is drawn as black indicates to me that this is not Luffy’s DF but a Black Nika DF which has a perfect candidate...

He should definitely do more as the sniper of the crew We all know Yami Yami is not a (normal) Logia since it was introduced against Ace. It will be revealed as the Black Nika i.e. God of Destruction. We know since Egghead and Elbaf arcs that the first world collapse generated two opinions...

The Parrot was once the king of the island of Rare Animals. This kingdom didn’t recover from the loss of the Nerona parrot until Gamon arrived there.

Second world knowledge is power. Chopper and Robin are going to learn some things about DF powers and possibly about Imu’s DF and Chopper’s true powers. The fact that Chopper was able to cancel Domi Reversi on target by a simple hit is still unexplained. The idea that there is a Hito Hito no...

Gaban is 100% right to scold Luffy. Luffy is not using his DF awakening appropriately like a Yonko level character. He should be able to use all of his Gear techniques onto the environment to do amazing things. He should be able to make everything bounces off thus blocking any attacks and...

Gaban was able to 1 shot-kill a defending God’s Knight in a few seconds but he couldn’t do it due to his hostage son able to be 1-shot kill in 2s under God’s Knight blade. I don’t think Luffy or Loki would have been able to do the same decisive speed move than Gaban. Oda also stated multiple...

Talk too much hints at Gaban discussing/mentioning Void Century with Imu while fighting.

Considering the wing of the Pirate King knows the full history and Imu does too, should we expect Oda to drop mentions about Void Century / Joy Boy’s project during the Scopper Gabban vs. Nerona Imu fight? Next chapter may be hard core teaser.

A nice cliffhanger would be that the Nerona family sword (so Imu’s own sword from 800y ago) is the sword held by Mihawk. The fact that Imu attacked Loki multiples times with a black flame sword looking exactly like Mihawks but still it was not a real sword could indicate that he actually lost it...
