One Piece 1159 Spoilers: Figerland is an Inhuman Bastard and just showed us what happens to women in a dystopian society where wealth and power are unevenly divided and the law bends for the rulers but not the masses!

Like, the Fuck, Odachii?

You won’t even let us see the face of the woman who gave birth to Shanks?

But given the current political climate, I think this is apt! To people like Garling, women and, by extension, children are nothing but property.

If he treated the mother of his children like this, no wonder he would’ve tried to win Shakky in a competition like she was a brood mare.

Look here, ladies, and even the men of this world.

One Piece is your periodic reminder that in a dystopian world you as an individual are seen as nothing but “bodies” to be used for the pleasure of powerful men, bodies to be exploited for labour, and then for people with wombs to become “host bodies” for incubating babies. Even if you think you are protected because you gave birth to your overlord’s children, you are still a slave, a replaceable biological device, just like what Garling did to Shanks’ mom! He never saw her as his life mate or loving mother of their children but as a sex slave who gave birth to “his children”, like the womb she is! She was simply a medium to an end!

Every woman, man, and child who is not born to the top 1% is a potential slave to the power-hungry men’s greed.

We already saw what happened to Fisher Tiger, Ginny, the Boa Sisters, Caimie, Jinbei, and Jean Bart: it doesn’t matter how strong or influential you are; you are an object to be bought, raped, used and killed after you have satisfied their boredom. And it never ends; there is always a new target. There is always a new shiny human they want to rape. Hence, they came for Shakky because she was a free woman, living life on her terms and choosing to love on her terms. The very idea of a woman choosing to live and love on her own terms makes the celestial dragons want to enslave her. Because how dare you? How dare you rise above your station as men’s property?

I think we cannot distil it any more than this; exerting one’s will over another is about control. Power is power.

And given how right-wing media has fuelled red-pill content, this arc came at the right time!

Shanks kill Garling, okay? You must avenge your faceless mother’s death.

𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄: 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐎𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐖𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐑𝐄

This Greg Gutfeld monologue absolutely nails the rot at the center of elite activism.

Hollywood actors and tenured professors are calling for a national economic strike to shut down ICE… while sitting comfortably in mansions, studios, and overseas homes.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐄.

Ed Norton — from a luxury couch — demands Americans stop working and spending because these are, in his words:

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴.

Easy to say when your biggest sacrifice is switching to diet caviar.

Then comes NYU professor Scott Galloway, floating an “economic strike” where wealthy households cut spending by 10% and everyone else eats the pain.

𝘈 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵-𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬.

Translation: real Americans suffer so elites can feel morally important.

They won’t miss meals.

They won’t lose jobs.

They won’t worry about rent, groceries, or gas.

But the truck driver will.

The nurse will.

The single mom will.

And when the fallout hits — crime spikes, families suffer, people die — the elites move on to the next cause.

Just like Free Britney.

Just like open borders.

Just like cashless bail.

They cheer it from safe studios, warm homes, and gated neighborhoods. They applaud tragedy — because ratings go up and responsibility goes down.

ICE shows up to clean up the mess they created… and suddenly law enforcement are “Nazis,” and the same people who demanded disorder pretend nobody asked for it.

⁣⁣⁣

𝐖𝐄’𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄.

Short-term virtue.

Long-term damage.

Blame everyone else.

And when it all collapses?

They disappear — while regular Americans clean up the wreckage.

So, no. America isn’t striking. America is working. America is enforcing the law. America is done being sacrificed for elite ego projects.

And if that offends them?

Good.
