Here is something very interesting: From Chapter 957 (Wano) From Chapter 452 (Thriller Bark) As we know, after he died, Captain John’s corpse came into the possession of Dr. Hogback. With Hogback’s surgical skills and Moria’s Devil Fruit powers, the corpse of John was modified into a zombie. Since John was one of Moria’s Zombies, […] More
Since the beginning of the series, Oda has been extremely reluctant to kill of characters, be it Luffy’s major rivals and antagonists, or even minor side characters who contribute little to the story as a whole. In one of the first volumes of One Piece, Oda explained why Luffy does not kill his enemies: Luffy […] More
Luffy, Law and Kid as Roger, Whitebeard and Shiki? I know people get up in arms about parallels being drawn with Roger, Garp, Whitebeard and Shiki’s relationship – but I seriously don’t see how this can go any other way. The respect that Luffy, Law and Kid had for each other was apparent since day […] More

I was thinking about the first chapter of One Piece where Shanks gives his hat to Luffy, and knowing what we do now from the manga, I had a few thoughts. Shanks says to Luffy “promise that you’ll bring it back to me someday… when you’ve become a great pirate.” ‘The Great Pirate’ was Gol […] More
Since Chapter 1026 release I saw quite reasonable discussions about Luffy’s current power level in comparison to the other Yonkos and the other people in Wano and the rest of the ONE PIECE World. However, those were very few in comparison to the sheer amount of discussions that were driven by pure hype without thinking […] More

For this theory, I am using the term “World Government” to mean the Five Elders and Im. Not the Marines. –Celestial Dragons How important are Celestial Dragons? For […] More
In Chapter 980 Zoro makes his appearance by cutting the top off one of the Live Floor’s towers. Since then, the severed tower has had a constant presence in the backgrounds set in that part of Onigashima in a bunch of chapters, showing Oda never forgot about it. Here’s a good overhead shot including it […] More
We all know that the quintessential part of any successful Shonen Manga is its Power System. For Naruto its Ninjutsu, for Bleach its Zanpakutos and for One Piece its Devil Fruits. These Power Systems allow the authors to create a vast array of characters, each gifted with powers unique to themselves. But what happens when you introduce another power system that is same for everyone […] More
Nowadays Advanced Connqueror’s Haki and Devil Fruit Awakening clearly seem to be the typical gimmick of the strongest characters. You have one of these two branches of power, or you don’t matter at the highest levels.Yonkos, Admirals, top members of the Supernovas, top members of the Shichibukai, past legends like Roger, Rayleigh, Whitebeard and Garp. […] More
After the recent chapters, I have seen some people saying that Kid shouldn’t be able to hurt Big Mom just “hitting her with big metal arms” without even using Haki. I will try to explain how a powerful Devil Fruit together with brute force was able to harm her. First, how does Armament Haki increase […] More
During the raid on Onigashima, Law has achieved Devil Fruit Awakening, allowing him to create and adhere a miniature room to his weapons, which then gain the ability to harmlessly bypass anything solid and directly operate on the insides of whatever they may phase through. This directly addresses one of the fruit’s biggest weaknesses, which […] More
