Wow the anime is really doing the story so well compared to the chapters. Judging by the recent episodes, the rooftop fight animation is going to be so awesome. The Kiku vs Kanjuro was so much more emotional than I remembered it from the manga.

Agreed, the anime is doing such a fantastic job at expanding on the manga. I think given that one piece has been going on for 1000 chapters now, Oda probably doesn't have the luxury to give us the detail he wants in every chapter i.e extended fights, character interactions/dialogue, so he's leaving it up to the anime to fill in those bits. The kaido and orochi scene was great as well the kiku Vs kanjuro scene all amazing

The part where Kaido is slamming on Momo's crucifix actually scared me a little, I was somehow put in the little 8 year olds body and you can just feel the fear.

This is a good point. The manga is definitely acting as more of a detailed outline for the anime to follow compared to how the earlier parts spelled everything out. Watching the current anime vs the older episodes, definitely can tell the difference.

Same here. The attention to detail was amazing. The beheading scene with the crown rolling, the swing of the sword by Kaido to splatter the blood off, Kanjuro's "death" scene with the snowflakes turning red, the scabbards looking over his body and the pool of blood next to it. Felt like movie quality animation and was far bloodier than I expected (thought they'd censor). This is really making me look forward to the entire raid.

The only downside to the kiku and kanjuro is that the kanjuro gets overly repetitive with him surviving and still being a pain in the ass

You know what, fuck Who's Who's bigoted ass, but it is indeed unfair that he gets fired and jailed for losing a random Devil Fruit to one of the most powerful pirate crews around and Rob Lucci gets promoted after letting one of the most wanted people escape from under his nose at friggin' Enies Lobby, thanks to a bunch of upstarts (at the time).

Who's Who's ass was probably supposed to be on watch but left his post to flap his lips to someone about some stupid story he read in the newspaper that morning.

Lucci at least has eye witnesses proving he was actively doing his job before being beaten unconscious.

CP9 was hunted down by the marines because Spandam blamed them for the failure in Ennies Lobby.
Rob Lucci calls Spandam and said that CP9 will return for him (likely for revenge).

Now they are CP0.

What we don't know is what happened between that. Hopefully gets explained.

There had to be a bunch of history between them in the last three years.. I was kinda hoping they would end up as a pirate crew, and then allies to Luffy down the line. Cp0 ruined my dream 😢

rob is like akainu, there's no way he'd ever become a pirate, but-

it did feel like they were being set up to become some sort of third party.

Idk if he would become a pirate per se, but he definitely seems like the kinda guy who joins the military so he can kill people and not go to jail. And, out of the military, I can totally see Lucci being at least a criminal, if not a pirate..

...come to think of it. he feels like the type who needs to be given orders. maybe he should've just retired and just been a caretaker for what looked to be younger agents.

Starting this discussion here as it has nothing to do with Wano.

As you know, the location of the Road Poneglyphs did not change a lot since Roger (Zou, Wano and the old hag). The main difference is that there was a Road Poneglyph at FI when Roger was still alive, but we have all seen that this is no longer the case now. Which begs the question: who took and moved that Road Poneglyph ? I am sure Neptune and the fishmen must be aware. Was it the WG ? If that is the case, I don't think they need to ever worry about OP as that would mean they have checkmated any potential PK.

Was it another pirate ? Shanks maybe ?

He would seem the most likely… Maybe Jimbe hid it, but isn’t revealing it until they have the others, so they have the benefit of one without potentially losing it, or the info about/from it, before they can use it. Just to follow your theory…

Also random but I don’t think garp and roger on their own defeated the entire rocks crew
I think maybe garp or roger beat him one on one or a few more strong teammates but with shiki and WB or got some to turn or a secret alliance of fighters
However if they did …….

Has it not been stated that the Rocks power increased since then?

For all we know, Whitebeard and the others were commander-level back then

It had to have been WB or Shanks who moved it. Maybe both were in on it.

It'd make sense as WB was the one who initially controlled the territory, so it would have been under his care along with the island.

After his death, however, things were in a flux and Fishman Island was vulnerable, so I could see Shanks taking it and hiding it himself, maybe in Elbaf.

Opens the path way for a direct Blackbeard vs Shanks showdown...

My personal theory is that the final Poneglyph was brought to Lodestar Island. We know that Roger was the first too reach Lodestar, too, indicating it is also hidden or hard to reach. What better place to hide a Poneglyph?

And since Lodestar is the Polaris (North Star), I suspect it to be atop the giant Elbaf Tree. Whitebeard or Shanks are the most likely culprits.
