#chapter 1054

Oh man.

Does this imply that Shanks would've probably gone after the One Piece earlier, but chose to wait until Luffy had accomplished enough that they could both compete for it?

Because I really like the idea that Shanks decided that him and Luffy are equals now, so they can finally officially compete as pirate crews.

I wonder if they're going to meet at Laugh Tale, or if that theory that they're going to compete with all the Road Poneglyphs on the line through a Davy Back fight is right?

This is another one for the "explain this, then" folder, for whenever someone refers to Yamato as a woman

i mean the red-head guy is cool ‘n'all, but... (ch. 1054 spoilers)

you're sleeping on Benn Beckman and his Ace Frehley Spaceman style vibe he's got going on here (along with a few other vibes). OR you wish you were. OR, I wish I was. Shanks probably is, so one of us got lucky (and I'm not talking about Roux).

And Yassop aside, I guess the guy on the left (Limejuice, apparently) is why there are theories out there that he's Kid's deadbeat dad, like, y'know, Axl Rose to Johnny Rotten, in vibes and ego rather than age.

You guys know I'm a multi-shipper, right? These two work together. Cameo in a few fics too. Benn (Beck) is great (Shanks too).

Bonus, coloured by Greish from TCB scans. I like Benn's cape purple, more, but looks cool blue too!

Oda + Toei = top tier foreshadowing ?

Wano & Egghead spoilers under the cut (chapters 1053 to 1059)

Okay so these are the eyecatchers from episode 966 (aired on 2021.03.21) :

Back then and until recently I thought "the Roger Pirates are gonna be in Mock Town next so that's why they show us Teach and Luffy's first encounter..."

But more than a year later, chapter 1053 (2022.06.20) reveal the new Yonkou lineup, and here's the cover of chapter 1054 (2022.06.25) :

(Not only the combo is correct it's also displayed in the same order)

Just- How much insight about the next storylines or plot twists does Oda give to the people at Toei ?

I mean I know there's a time gap between the manga and anime and okay, they spoil us things in the openings often but- THIS EPISODE GOT OUT MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE THINGS ACTUALLY HAPPENED 👀

Mock Town meetings ? Or foreshadowing ? They're going to kill me someday 😭

Or maybe Oda has a thing with patterns ? OF COURSE HE DOES, this is the cover of Volume 25... released in 2002 👀

...Either way One Piece will always blow my mind, I guess 😂

On a related note, I thought back of this panel in chapter 1059 :

I'm going to ignore the grief and the anger that Rayleigh must still feel 2 years after the war

I really think that "I really don't like you" sounds like "I don't acknowledge you (while I personally trained the other three Yonkou so I know what they're worth)" 😂

What!?

Shock of the day... okay, so first: Cobra is most likely really dead. The WG would not let the information out if they didn’t confirm that there was a body and whose body it was, but now the question is: what happened?

While it is possible that Sabo really killed Cobra, with the man being kinda like a Celestial Dragon if you look at his blood, and I could see it fitting the Revolution’s plan... it just doesn’t feel like something Oda would pull. Having Sabo kill one of Luffy’s friends I mean.

My theory is that Cobra was asking around from the important people about the poneglyphs and the void century, and then someone decided he was too nosy and had him killed, framing Sabo while at it. 

And then there’s Vivi, but I’m not really worried about her. I mean, both her and Sabo going missing at the same place around the same time? What are the odds? She’s most likely with him.

ONE PIECE - CHAPTER 1054 SPOILERS

Bit of a Rant over this Chapters Bombshells:

OMFG

OMG 

OH My GOD

  first... Shanks in the opening had me losing my marbles I am not okay at all. like at all. He’s so hot????? like wtffffffff I screamed and my eyes watered a bit and yeah okay that might be an overreaction but I love him okay??!!! leave me alone!! AND HE HAS RED EYES?!?!?!? since... uh.... when! 

I have to go back in my fic now find each and every time I wrote Shanks’ eyes as brown and fix that bc I am a sucker for these kinds of things and also him and Cora are red eyed babies and that has me sobbing in the corner bc omg they MATCH. they ARE SO SOULMATES THE WINDOWS TO THEIR SOULS MATCH - yes this is a heavy, unheard of rarepair yet i don’t give a flying fuck bc they are dads and dilfs and perfect for each other. 

Also.... SHANKS IS MAKING HIS MOVE AND ITS FINDING THE ONE PIECE?!?!?!?!? WTF! I swear if he and Luffy have a fight full of angst and betrayal and “I gave you the fruit bc you had the potential to defeat me!” or some shit - which there does seem to be a vibe about that in this chapter but I hope it’s just my imagination bc I will not be okay with that - I’m going to sob my heart out bc Shanks is so Luffy’s parent. Like he IS Luffy’s parent and idc about anything he IS LUFFY’S PARENT AND IF THEIR REUNION IS NOT WARM AND FUZZY AND NICE I WON’T RECOVER. Like I will write another 200k+ fic to fix that. cryingggggg

(Is it possible that Luffy is the One Piece??? That he’s the “one piece” needed to defeat the oppressive government or something? Or the “one piece” of the puzzle?? Or that the Gomu Gomu was the one piece...???? Idk and my imagination is going a bit off the rails at the moment but ????)

Anyways. SABO IS BEING CALLED AN EMPEROR AND PEOPLE THINK OF HIM AS A GOD?!?!?!?!  is this foreshadowing???? is this just hyperbolism and rumours to show how much Sabo has grown in influence and power?!?!?!? IS HE OKAY????? Bc I KNOW HE DID NOT KILL ANYBODY FUCK THAT!! 

Omg is VIVI okay?!!?? Is my girl safe? Is my badass queen on the run and in hiding with the Rev’s to get revenge on the Gov bc this was obvs a government cover up or something???? If Nami does not hear about Vivi and lose her mind worrying over her Girlfriend I’m gonna cry. 

YAMATO YELLING ABOUT BEING KAIDO’S SON AND INTRODUCING HIMSELF AS KAIDO’S SON!!! ALL THOSE TRANSPHOBES SAYING HE’S JUST “CONFUSED” CAN SUCK IT ONCE MORE AND ONCE AGAIN!! HA!

Plus... Yasopp dude it’s been fucking years since you’ve seen your son. Like my guy come ON. Usopp deserves better my man. Usopp is the kindest most amazing and courageous person and you sound like you’re backing out EXCUSE ME HE AT LEAST DESERVES A ‘HELLO!’ And the chance to get a bit mad over you not being there.

In summary: I am not okay, my heart is on the verge of giving up, my eyes are mad they were forced to go to work and water a bit, my soul is shattering, and the way I read the chapter only to come here and get this off my chest bc no one in my vicinity at the moment gives a shit about OP has me coming here in hopes others UNDERSTAND the f e e l i n g s this had given me.
