As we approach the end game of One Piece, the community has begun to realise the increasing importance of Skypiea. At the time, it seemed like a self-contained detour from the main conflicts of One Piece. But now , we realise just how much foundations Oda built with Skypeia. Oda was planting concepts and narratives […] More
The Five Elders always paid close attention to Luffy and his actions, but they seriously underestimated him, and overestimated their own soldiers that they’ve sent to kill Luffy. Although Luffy defeated Arlong, he was still just a young pirate from East Blue. There was no need to deal with him. The first time the Five […] More
So the recent reveal in the SBS section of Volume 102 that Zoro is not yet the First Mate/Vice Captain of the crew has the fandom in splits, with some arguing that the Straw Hats will never have a First Mate/Vice Captain role since that indirectly implies that he has authority over Sanji, the other […] More
One Piece revealed the Secret of the Will Of D. The “Will of D.” is a mystery surrounding some people who have the initial “D.” in their names. It is not clear what the significance of the shared initial is, but it appears that all share a deep desire for freedom and have strong faith […] More
I want to say this right from the get go: Nico Robin will never be someone like Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, or Jinbe in terms of raw, physical strength and fighting skill. But I believe that with the power of her Devil Fruit, she has the potential to be the strongest of all of them. […] More
Oda planned from the very beginning for each Straw Hat to have a specific part of the end of the journey devoted to them. With Sanji, it seems like Oda long ago planned to have a Yonko who was obsessed with food, so that Sanji could have his defining moment as the best chef out […] More
Many argue that towards the end of the series, Luffy will fight against Akainu. Both are leaders and both use fire kind powers plus Luffy will want to take revenge for Ace. Zoro will fight against Fujitora (both are swordsmen and honorable fighters) and Sanji will fight against Kizaru (speed based fight and both are […] More
As we all know that Luffy’s devil fruit is Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into, and gain the powers of, “The Sun God Nika”. In doing so, the user’s body gains the properties of rubber and the power to bring smiles to people’s […] More
As most of the fanbase believes, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates will fight for the title of the Pirate King’s crew. As I believe this fight will be the one that ascends the Straw Hats into their fullest potential, these fights will address the weaknesses of the Straw Hats, within which they […] More
Given the recent creations of Vegapunk have a star denoting them, is it possible that ODA might show a shared history between Franky and Vegapunk? Perhaps a link to MADS? I’ve been thinking about that… I don’t think Franky is Vegapunk’s kid, but he is related to MADS in both a relative way, but also […] More
I’m seeing a lot of people anticipating a Zoro and Tashigi meeting in this new arc because they want to see Zoro “freak out”. They even hope Bonney will turn Tashigi into a kid to remind him of Kuina. But the thing is, after the timeskip, Zoro has moved past the “freaking out because of […] More
For a long time we have all speculated as to why Kuma would willingly give himself to be modified into a Pacifista. It has been revealed that Kuma used to be the King of the Sorbet Kingdom who was made an example for all other kingdoms of what will happen to them if they betray […] More
