Oda often does power scaling via portrayal and matchups. Zoro fights King (YC1) because he is stronger than Sanji who fights Queen (YC2). In terms of portrayal, matchups and feats, Mihawk has never been as impressive as Shanks. Shanks clashed with Whitebeard, stopped prime Kaido from going to Marineford, stopped an angry, outraged Akainu, made […] More
In Chapter 1056 Yamato announces her intent to join the Straw Hats and live like Kozuki Oden did. While her joining the crew is exciting, it raises the question of what role she will assume in One Piece‘s main pirate group. Well there is actually a real “role” for her to do in the ship: Guard. 1. The existence of […] More
In the most recent chapter, we saw this panel of Caribou talking about how a “certain someone” would love to hear about not only Pluton’s existence in Wano, but also the relation between Luffy and Poseidon. I’ve seen a handful of theories and discussion trying to figure out who he’s referring to. I think that the most […] More
After the recent chapter a lot of people have concluded that now that Inuarashi/Nekomamushi have appointed Carrot as the next leader of Zou that this would eliminate any chances of Carrot joining Luffy’s crew. However I think the exact opposite is happening and it is now more likely than ever before and I’d like to […] More
I’ve seen a lot of people speculate on how Buggy has the funds to put all of these bounties on all of these Marines. We can assume that would cost billions of berries. However personally I think Buggy hasn’t actually put up any bounties. He is simply naming the prices of different Marine heads. Buggy’s […] More
Chapter 1056 seems to show the end of the Luffy, Law and Kid Alliances and we get told that they will travel separately on one of three paths: Law will take the North-Eastern path, Kid taking the Eastern path and Luffy taking the South-Eastern path. However we have an interesting discovery when looking at the […] More
In Chapter 1056 Kid and Killer mention a “man with a burn scar” that could be key to the war for the One Piece. The mention of this man “marked by flames” has spurred a lot of interesting discussion amongst Japanese readers, so I thought I’d share some theorised candidates! In terms of characters with […] More
Zoro’s backstory involved a girl who wanted to be the strongest swords(wo)man, who hated how no one would treat her as an equal or even consider that it was possible for her. They would always put her on a pedestal, “women can’t be fighters”, etc. It drove her crazy when she thought she couldn’t achieve […] More

Luffy is Joy Boy. Out of all the characters we have seen in the series, I believe he was the only candidate, post or pre Nika fruit. But Luffy, is not a god. He is a warrior, a warrior who saves and protects the weak. To these people, he may seem like a god, but […] More
In the latest chapter we learned about the Cross Guild, a powerful organization headlined by three former members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Buggy, Dracule Mihawk and Crocodile; with Buggy, now one of the Four Emperors, recognized as the leader. The Cross Guild is able to use their battle might and political influence […] More
So this is an old theory I discovered a while back, initially I was sceptical of it but found it interesting nonetheless so it kind of stuck to me. Since the reveal of Roger’s backstory I’ve come to believe it could be a possibility. Basically it’s that Shanks travelled to the East Blue for the sole […] More
