In the recent chapter we learnt that Luffy has the 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“. This sun god is worshiped in Skypiea, Elbaf and probably Fishman Island too. But along with God of the Sun, in […] More
The confirmation that Zoan devil fruits have a mind of their own is even bigger news than the true nature of Luffy’s devil fruit. So far the only objects imbedded with devil fruits were Zoan fruits. Never Paramecia or even Logia fruits. And that makes complete sense now. A person eating a Zoan might be […] More
When Law back in Punk Hazard gave Luffy the goal of beating Kaido, shocked as I was, I don’t think I understood the scope of what he was talking about. The sheer height of the mountain that was to be climbed, the weight of those words; none of it hit me fully at the time. […] 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
In the most recent chapter, the discussion between the Five Elders really caught my attention because the wording of the two quotes highlighted below was a bit confusing to me. The first quote, in particular, is one of the Five Elders questioning if their priorities are straight after sacrificing the CP0 agent and making Kaido […] More
In the light of the recent chapter, many criticisms have arisen, one notably along the lines of “This is Naruto all over again”. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but my issue with this one is that it is just straight up wrong. People that say this, either do not actually understand what went wrong […] More
All the reveals in the most recent chapter blew my mind on so many levels and I wanted to share my reasons so you can have your mind blown as well. In this post, I hope I can show you that Oda takes full advantage of the Japanese language and the manga format to imbue […] More
In Chapter 1044 Luffy regains consciousness as the Five Elders reveal that for 800 years since the World Government’s founding, they’ve been trying to get ahold of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, but somehow, it keeps avoiding them, like it has a mind of its own. That’s when they reveal the truth: The Gomu Gomu […] More
Kind-hearted, at least when it comes to his friends. He loves to party, stops Yonkos like a badass, and even stops wars. He talks to the World Government behind the scenes. There are many aspects to Shanks that are peculiar, especially that one of the most notorious pirates would meet with the leaders of the […] More
In Punk Hazard we got our first evidence of Devil Fruit reincarnation, we saw Smiley die and have its fruit reincarnated into a nearby Apple. We also witnessed the death of one other Devil Fruit user, Monet, user of the Yuki Yuki no Mi. It has been a popular theory that her Yuki Yuki no Mi […] More
Blackbeard didn’t only kill Thatch after the latter ate the Yami Yami no Mi devil fruit, Blackbeard NEEDED Thatch to eat the fruit. FACTS: 1-Marshall D. Teach “Blackbeard” shares part of its name, its moniker, its appearance and many behavioral / personality traits with the real life pirate Edward Teach/Thatch known as Blackbeard. 2-Edward Newgate […] More
As of now Roger has the highest number of “confirmed” Conqueror’s Haki users in his crew: Gol D. Roger himself, Silvers Rayleigh, Kozuki Oden and Shanks. Rocks D. Xebec is close second with 3 “confirmed” Conqueror’s Haki users in his crew: Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard. Anyway it’s almost guaranteed that Shiki the Lion and […] More
