I love him

WHAT????

Also, are we going to see Imu's real form finally??

1178 spoilers

Okay, I'm not gonna do a full commentary on this one, but Summers putting himself together is both bizarrely grotesque and funny. Funnier, though, is

Loki refusing to get food for Luffy (not realising how important it is if he wants a fighting partner)

Luffy then asking Ragnir (had to look it up) to help him out.

Also, Imu has gone back to Mary Geoise to only come back to Elbaf (? maybe), so they weren't fully in Elbaf, if I'm understanding things correctly. Has Gunko been returned to herself, I wonder? Or, like Summers, and probably Killingham, she'll regenerate and still be a threat? I think more likely the former (ally), but probably an ultimate Monet-like end for her (she's pretty old, right?)

Chopper's power is interesting. I think that Stussy Sama from X last week might be onto something. Other theories are interesting too. Zoro casually hyping Chopper up is always the best (I like the idea a few folks have put out that devil fruit users negate the devil inside. Not my theory).

Chopper = Forest God theorists were RIGHT!? 🤯

"....and it cured their demonic power!!"

Who's "just" a cute mascot character NOW?? 🤔👀

(you're gunna want to read this lol)

Were they right about Blackbeard being on Drum Island in search of Chopper's Devil Fruit!?

Holy Shit. 😳

Maybe. Maybe not. However, atp I think it's safe to say that Chopper is doing something peculiar in order to flip the domi reversi giants back. It doesn't even look like they "flip", but rather Chopper is exorcising the demon outta them.

Finally, I want to take a moment to remind people to stand your ground when you do the work of a proper close read, research the hints thrown in, and take the time to try & put the pieces together. Be confident in your theories & analysis! You never know how long it will take to be vindicated!!

The link above is to the reddit post I also provided the screenshot to. I highly recommend you reading it as it provides a more in depth breakdown as to why the Chopper = Forest God theory even exists.

Op is not the first person to come up with it. This theory has been around for a long time.

However, it does make me a bit sad that they seemed to have deleted their account. If they had just waited a bit longer then they could've come back to it proud in their resolve.

Pay heed to stans of a character. Someone who pays that much attention to one will surely pick up on things the casual fans do not.

Big W for the Chopper fandom this week.

P.S. The bad timeline for Chopper makes more sense in the context of him being outed as the Forest GOD & becoming corrupt.

Since ya know....civilizations tend to give sacrifices to their dieties.

Just saying.

Gunko gonna wake up in the next chapter like:

Does anyone want to hear my crazy theories and speculation on what will happen next in One Piece? Because I just spent two hours looking into Norse mythology just to ramble about this
