The Red Hair Pirates are an infamous and powerful pirate crew ruling in the New World, captained by their chief, Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors and a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates. They are the first pirate crew to appear in the manga and second to appear (next to the Alvida Pirates) […] More
I found it interesting that these are the only two devil fruits confirmed to be unaffected by Haki. Of course, it makes sense, given the conceptual nature of Bartolomeo’s Bari Bari No Mi and Buggy’s Bara Bara No Mi. With physical power fruits, it’s understandable that Haki can counterract their power. But if the fruit […] More
I want to explain what Enma was doing to Zoro, because it seems we actually get to see exactly how Zoro learns how to infuse Conqueror’s into his 3 sword style throughout the course of Onigashima. People still treat Enma itself as Zoro’s powerup, but nothing really indicates that his growth came from anywhere but himself. I […] More
First off let’s establish the pinnacle of swordsmanship as told by and demonstrated by Koshiro. Zoro here learns some very important details to swordsmanship. 1- Zoro’s own understanding is confirmed some swordsmen can cut through anything, even steel!!! Really only including this to restate Zoro wanting to CUT through anything same childhood goal Koshiro. 2- […] More

At the end of Chapter 1089 York bursts into tears and begs to be saved from being killed by Luffy, much to the shock of Kizaru and the Elders. She is seen chained to the ground and surrounded by the Straw Hats (as well as Bonney, Vegapunk, and Lucci), with Zoro’s sword held over her […] More
I’ve seen a lot of people who think that the Blackbeard Pirates will just kill Garp. However, I think the story has already told us what the Blackbeard Pirates plan on doing with Garp the hero. In chapter 1080, we see the reason that Koby was captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, and that was to […] More
Blackbeard is actually a therapist. His issue? He only plays on extreme difficulty, which is why taking the worst degenerates from Impel Down Level 6 wasn’t enough. He needed to further enhance their issues, which is why he got them specific devil fruits: *by Jail_Chris_Brown More
Really really interesting. We all thought that “Dark King”, Rayleigh’s nickname, and “King of Hell”, Zoro’s nickname, were very similar. But it seems that they are actually the same thing, basically. It’s the umpteenth parallel shared between Rayleigh and Zoro, as the right hand man of the past Pirate King and the right hand man of the […] More
So how does Luffy’s devil fruit bring the series back to its roots when it actually changes everything about Luffy’s powers? I’d like people to really go back and remember what the East Blue saga was like without the baggage of everything from the Grand Line onwards. The series was actually kind of grounded. Well, […] More
I want to fully examine everything we so far know about Luffy’s devil fruit: The Name There is a common misconception floating around about the name of Luffy’s devil fruit being “Sun God Nika”. This is wrong. The name of his fruit is simply “Nika” or “Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika”. The “Sun God” is […] More
Vegapunk speculates that devil fruits are manifestations of dreams. So what if devil fruit Awakening is only possible, if the users motivations and actions line up with the dream that created the fruit? Let’s say the Nika fruit was created by the wish to gain absolute freedom. Luffy’s motivations line up perfectly with that dream […] More
