Ooh, so if Laugh Tale will come sooner based on what Oda said, then maybe the next cremate will join sooner too!

 

[Core D. Roy]

Two people who never crossed paths finally meet!!

Akainu and Dragon. Or Blackbeard and Buggy.

Those two run into each other as well!!

Luffy and Shanks. Or Buggy and Shanks. Or Blackbeard and Shanks. Somebody is meeting Shanks.

 

[costicla]

Laugh Tale finally? After all this time, I almost can't believe it. And people running into each other? Are everyone's favorites, Charlos and Spandam finally going to meet?

In my dreams it's Shanks and Spandam's Mysterious Twin Brother

Is he the cloaked figure who went to the Elders to warn them about a certain CP agent?

 

[kkck]

Laugh tale? No lode star island? Also the man with the burn scar isn't saul? A big plot point that was left is the final road poneglyph which to me there's no obvious reason for it to be at elbaf... I suppose with kidd's words about this man do have weight.

Is it even required to go to Lode Star? I get the feeling the Straw Hats would just zoom past it.

"A first-rate chef who takes care of the crew's stomach, and at the same time he's also a combatant who fights with magnificent footwork. Though his bounty is lower than Zoro's their abilities are evenly matched, worthy of being called wings."

Yeah, they're not part of Luffy's Big 3 for nothing ya know.

Maybe no but to me it's a bit counterintuitive. You'd think the furthest point in the grand line people can advance to would be the final step before the actual last island. The Name also makes me think it could have something to do with even finding the one piece in tandem with the 4 road poneglyphs.

Im still wondering why you need 4 poneglyphs when 3 should be enough

This is something I've wondered as well. I think the framing we have gotten regarding how the OP is found via poneglyphs is very probably incomplete. Because if it was just a place that was sitting there in the middle of a relatively small batch of ocean then it would have been found already. My guess is that past lode star the sea becomes substantially more dangerous than it already is. Or maybe the road poneglyphs don't reveal the actual island but merely the path... or road if you will. Or maybe the road poneglyphs are not enough but rather require someone that has familiarized herself with ancient world history to actually decipher them (robin has been reading other poneglyphs of course).

Just to add to this. Im wondering how the Voice of All Things ties into this process. I have to imagine it is equal as necessary as getting the 4 poneglypgs or what is the point.

We still know nothing about it

Nah everyone knows the proper layout for wings is that one of them needs to be a chad and the other a virgin

Jokes aside I love when Oda stares directly into the camera, addressing the reader, and says in plain text "the difference in power between these two characters is negligible" and somehow that makes the fandom of the two war even harder

I still want to know wtf is at Lode Star that is the "hint" necessary to look for the Road Poneglyphs. Can you imagine being an in-universe pirate, assuming the same thing the Strawhats assumed early on, that the One Piece is at the end of the Grand Line, getting all the way there.... and realizing you now have to go on an obscenely time-intensive collectathon side quest, like it's fuckin' Wind Waker. The ultimate "sorry mario, the princess is in another castle" ass mythology lmao

Getting to the end game and having to play New Game + for 100%

Z-axis

 

[Pirate Queen]

Z-axis

What did you call me?

 

[Core D. Roy]

has anybody considered they actually ARE just simple coordinates but they're coordinates to separate sides of the planet so Laugh Tale is in the planet's core somewhere

don't think i'd like that either. i assume it's in some different dimension or something bizarre

 

[kkck]

We saw a flashback with oden and the gang reaching laugh tale but it didn't seem like they went to the planet's core. To me it makes more sense that these are instructions to navigate something far more absurd than anything in the new world so far. Otherwise it's weird that even accidentally other folk have not managed to at least made it to the massive red line which is taller than most mountains in real life.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is what i thought of when we saw that brief picture of Laugh Tale. if anybody can pull of a hollow earth twist, it'd be oda lol
