Yeah, it would be cool if he tilted his head like a dog, but it's just a way of looking down on others

Guys, which one-piece episode did you like most? I liked 1074 the most. It was just dope.

Yeah the fact he was able to layer all of that himself was insane. He also captured the slow build up that happened the first time Luffy awakened which was super cool.

As for favorite episode it is impossible to decide. The anime has gone on for so long I have had favorites at different times in my life. From the recent Onigashima part I'd say the episode where Kaido said haki is everything was just epic.

But if I had to pick just one for the whole anime I have to pick the episode Luffy defeated Lucci. The whole flashback sequence with Luffy using Jet Gattling for the first time was amazing and still sticks out in my mind as my favorite scene.

Yes, that was episode 1074. It was really quite badass. And I do agree that Luffy's fight against Lucci with Jet Gatling was quite memorable. I still find Water 7 and Enies Lobby to be one of the best arcs in One Piece.

Ah then we both have the same memorable episode then! 1074 is my favorite combat episode in a long while.

Does anyone else think that the Gorosei are all former fleet admirals who were especially strong and loyal, and were given the opportunity for immortality in exchange for everlasting servitude towards Imu? I mean, we know the Ope-Ope fruit is capable of making someone immortal. Probably takes a few decades for everything to line up so that it can be used to add to the Elders.

 

[kkck]

I doubt they were fleet admirals. If they really are immortal i would imagine they are former kings or immediate descendants of the original kings who immortalized themselves at the start of the world government.

 

[Fox666]

Yeah, everything points out to them being born as Celestial Dragons

 

[Hannibal Psyche]

Just realised that Wano, the real Wano is submerged underneath the current Wano with a wall around it. It then got filled with rain water which submerged the real Wano and is protecting the original Wano, and the Poneglyph.
It seems the reason Zunesha is important is to:

• Remove all the water from Wano when they decide to open the borders as she's an Elephant, she can do that easily and safely.
• The next is to destroy the borders which she again can do easily.

Always fun to re-read aspects of the Manga, always gain some new found information, at least it makes sense to me at this point, lol.

So if Saturn is the specific villain of Egghead because of his role in politics, then where/who would the other Elders be the specific villains of in other arcs that correspond to their roles?

Saturn is the evil one managing the WG armies, Nusjuro is the evil one managing the Heavenly tribute, Ju Peter is the evil one managing the food supply to Marigeoise, Mars is probably the evil one managing diplomacy, and Warcury is the evil one managing justice (Ace’s execution and imprisonment). I don’t think we will see another Gorusei members leave Marigeoise, next arcs should be pirate-centered for the fight over the One Piece before getting ready for the final war against WG.

It'd be a bit lopsided if Saturn was the only one to come down to the "surface" and have any sort of focus like this. Originally I thought the Gorosei were all going to get focus in the same arc much later, but now I'm pretty sure they're going to trickle through the narrative gradually over the next few arcs as they become relevant to the characters involved.

That brings us to what is most likely next: Elbaf. Egghead was Saturn (science and dense), so what does Elbaf represent in the context of the other four? Shanks is there, but Figarland isn't a Gorosei... my best guess is Mars, since Elbaf's environment is one of the biggest mysteries in the entire series.

I just don't think Oda would dedicate so much time to lavishly showing how utterly evil Saturn is so early on in the Final Saga without following it up with the rest at a rhythmic pace.

 

[HereNThere]

Given how certain things are progressing and the world gets more hectic, the Gorosei should be leaving Mary Geoise more often to personally oversee things. Ju Peter, for example, should be on the move given that their food supply has been interrupted.

 

[DeadlyBeast]

Yeah each of them getting their own focus and time to shine is important way for us to learn about WG leadership since they're the endgame bosses. Plus from a narrative point of view I'm curious how Gorosei are selected, what their internal dynamics are. With a potential Saturn defeat coming up this will give us way to see if a replacement is planned and how, what the other Gorosei thought of Saturn etc. They've been characterized as one homogenous group with a sort of hive mind but knowing politicians its likely they had their own internal differences.

 

[Lord Rayleigh]

I think that it is exactly the purpose of the Holy Knights to deal with sensitive WG issues that the Marines can’t manage. The official heads of WG are depicted as living gods hence are meant to stay permanently away from lower world as 1) gods do not mix with humans - also confirmed with commodore marine ranks 2) they cannot risk losing their god life to low humans. Indeed, killing a Gorusei would weaken the whole WG supremacy ideology, and it will definitely be the high incident happening in Egghead arc that will shock the world. Saturn already confirmed that it had been decades since he went to lower world and the only reason he did so here was because a Gorusei member had to be there to overwrite VP orders issued to Seraphims. Dragon and Ivankov also feared that the Holy Knights would attack the Revolutionary Army after they attacked Marigeoise food supply routes. As a conclusion I do expect us to see more of WG actions in next arcs but I think it will be mainly throughout the Holy Knights.

I think that Gorusei are chose among the Holy Knights pool. I think Figarland Garling would make a fine replacement for Jaygarcia Saturn. That would also open the way for the Shanks evil twin theory with Shanks brother replacing Garling as the commander of the Holy Knights.

Random but surprised I didn't notice sooner. Big Mom and Kaido teamed up and their YC3 are named Cracker and Jack. With Big Mom's 4th being named Snack.
Snack called CrackerJack. What Oda was doing with that I am unsure but that means there might be some substance to my Hancock joining the strawhats thing in the Wano thread. Just since the same type of thought process brought me there.

More to add on that. Shakky being introduced as the previous Empress, Gloriosa being mentioned as ex Rocks, the showing of Hyogoro looking like a prune but still able to use Ryou and Blackbeard backing down to Rayleigh. Basically it implies with Hancock leaving that the Kingdom would be in safe hands with Rayleigh, Shakky and Gloriosa. Actual contrast to Alabasta whose strongest fighters are Pell and Chaka. And also, the fact that Alabasta King died and has no leader while three of Amazon Lily rulers are all present at once. And the introduction of Nefartiri Lily even if it is a different spelling would imply that Amazon Lily has more importance than presumed. Thus Hancock may have more importance than initially presumed.

Also if we go by Doflamingo: Has conqueror's then we see 2 things.
YC3 Cracker was able to slightly do damage to Luffy in Gear 4 which had nothing to do with his devil fruit and basicall his Haki. Where Doflamingo's strategy was basically wait until Luffy runs out of Haki. We see Luffy uses a stall tactic against Cracker but his ability ultimately shows him more powerful than Cracker, where Doflamingo was stalling due to knowing he was overmatched.
YC1 Katakuri was going toe to toe with Luffy's Gear 4th forms.
Basically Doflamingo is either between YC3 and YC1 or weaker than a YC3. Likely Perospero level.
Doflamingo is the only one besides Hancock to have Haoshoku Haki. Though it is presumed by people that Mihawk does.
Anyway, that basically tells me that while Hancock has Haoshoku Haki, she can be presumed to slot behind even Sanji at an eventually joining point.


Also, while Sanji isn't the lead character or number 2, I am definitely waiting for Oda to give him some more Haki feats. There really are no stand out feats.
Now if Oda had Sanji perceive a basically camouflaged Queen that would be something. But it looks like he used a floor creak. But maybe that floor creak is Sanji's haki perceiving Queen. Even so, he really has barely touched on the fact that he gave Sanji CoA Haki. Yeah Ifrit Jambe uses Haki but I mean Oda really has him more seeming like an amateur Haki user. I feel like the outlook is bleak for Sanji.

Anyway, I am still having my hopes of for Hancock, Yamato and Marco joining. Overkill as that may seem. I mean if you really think about it, it would be a bit lame to see Vivi fight with her bracelet thing

 

[kkck]

Speicaly circumstances aside, I doubt vivi would join the strawhats as a proper crewmember. She will likely ride with them soon out of necessity. As for her temporary role in the crew... I could see her being strong enough to be relevant. Vivi was capable enough back in alabasta. It wouldn't be strange at all if she kept her training over this time. It also wouldn't be strange if her weapon gets an upgrade from either franky or even ussop to help her out a bit.
