holy [ __ ] that was an amazing chapter after about an entire month of waiting we finally got
the highly anticipated chapter 1054 which is signaling the final saga of one piece
you already know we're going to be talking a bunch about shanks and a bunch of spoilers so
if you're not caught up to the manga consider yourself officially warned alright i gotta be
honest i want to talk about the green bull stuff i want to talk about everything that happened with
sabo vv and cobra but i cannot wait any longer we need to talk about shanks and i have some crazy
ideas as to what he is doing in wano really quick i just got to call out oda for a second for
trolling the hell out of all of us this chapter i genuinely believed that we were finally going
to see that reunion between shanks and luffy and then we have him saying no not yet but we're on
wano anyway i mean if you're gonna reveal shanks like rolling up tawano we're all gonna assume at
first that he's there to see luffy especially now that he's a new emperor but apparently shanks is
on wano for an entirely different reason that not even his crew knows yet there was definitely a
lot of ideas firing off my brain as to why shanks could be on wano at this very moment and a lot of
that has to do with what he said at the end of his portion of the chapter where he sits down with ben
beckman he grabs his little sake cup and he announces that he too is aiming for the one
piece seeing as how he's always been portrayed to be rooting for luffy to become the pirate king
and find the one piece it's a very interesting decision to make last minute maybe something
happened during his conversation with the gorsei to lead to this decision does he want to help
luffy grow more by intentionally becoming an adversary for luffy to face off or is it just
the most simple answer and that's you know he's always wanted the one piece and now is just the
right time to do it i personally lean more towards the second option because i do think that shanks
is intentionally making himself an adversary for luffy in order to help luffy progress to that next
stage of growth for regular viewers of my channel you know that i believe shanks is going to be the
one to teach luffy how to master all three forms of hockey you can check out that theory video
here so when i saw shanks announced this insane revelation the first thing that i thought was
why wano and also why now why at this very moment if he really doesn't plan on meeting luffy yet
then why is he showing up on wano right now what could he gain from that i think this may have to
do with pluton but i also think it has more to do with the ponoglyphs that are currently on wanna
shanks still needs those copies in order to make his way to laugh tale so if his true goal really
is to find the one piece it makes sense that he's showing up on wano while luffy is on wano to steal
those copies of the pornoglyphs that way he can also enter the race to the one piece so what i
think is going to happen is shakes is going to very quietly sneak onto wanna while everybody's
having their great party and he's going to steal those three copies of the road poneglyphs and
make his way off wanna once he leaves wano he is going to make his way for the fourth road
poneglyph which i believe is on elbaf and where i also believe the straw hats are headed next
so yes i still believe that that confrontation between the straw hats and the red-haired pirates
are going to happen on elba and of course we also know that blackbeard is currently
making his move to acquire something which i do think is that final road poneglyph as well
and what i believe we are going to see is a three-way battle between the blackbeard pirates
the red-haired pirates and the straw hat pirates for that final road poneglyph maybe even buggy
gets involved too somehow of course after that battle the straw hats will come out on top and
then they will be making their way to laughter to claim the one piece some more things that i
notice when reading shanks's segment is that it's very heavily implied that he did know more about
luffy's devil fruit at the time he was stealing it and it really does look like who's who as well
as everybody else on that cp9 ship didn't really know how important this devil fruit was i recently
read volume 2 of ace's story and i couldn't help but remember what shanks felt like in that novel
and feeling that same vibe from this chapter the extended panels we got of him this chapter made
me feel sort of melancholy like there's a bit of sadness there along with his reminiscence when
he's thinking about luffy in the past i know the whole evil shanks theory is very popular right now
but i get the feeling that shanks's story is going to be a bit more sad like he's carrying a burden
of unwanted knowledge on his shoulders a dark and very depressing knowledge that he can't really do
anything about yet some people think shanks is more of a pacifist somebody that doesn't really
like to be involved in conflict or make conflict in the world which on a surface level when looking
at shapes from the outside i would absolutely agree with but just because shanks has always
portrayed himself as a pacifist doesn't mean that he's not stirring things up from behind the scenes
it really does feel like he's been waiting decades to finally make his move and now we are getting to
witness it firsthand there's also this really cool panel of shanks with luffy holding up the
straw hat right in front of the sun which i definitely think is a wink from oda to
the fans okay now let's go ahead and talk about green bull who is now facing the scabbards and
trying to convince them very hard to smash that subscribe button for regular one piece content
but seriously what a piece of [ __ ] green bull is just a terrible human being don't get me wrong i'm
super intrigued by his character i predicted since you know all the admirals have their own epithets
of justice that green bull would embody more of a loyal justice due to his subservient nature to
a kindness but i think at this point after reading that entire chapter i'm leaning a lot more towards
totalitarian justice like just straight up fascism this dude actually said prejudice breeds stability
and that he would murder thousands of people to get his way i can see why a kind who likes him
so much after a lot of speculation greenville's devil fruit is finally revealed to be a nature
logia titled the forest forest fruit which is something i definitely did not expect i mean logia
definitely makes sense but logia that embodies nature is a very interesting choice i assume that
it was going to be a plant or nature-based devil fruit of the paramecia class not the
logia class because i didn't really consider a forest to be a specific element but when the
viz translation comes out maybe it's retranslated to earth earth fruit which i feel like would make
a lot more sense because earth is definitely an element like water like fire like air etc
now we're kind of getting into avatar territory we're devil fruit sciency stuff out of the way
this is an extremely overpowered devil fruit not only does greenville have control over like
50 of the entire world but he can also become nature itself as well as drain life force from
other living beings as we saw in chapter 1053 and this dude quite literally took a thunderbagua from
yamato with conquerors hockey coding and was just like ow that hurt a little anybody out there who's
still sleeping on the admirals at this point needs to wake up after the last couple chapters if you
still think admirals are like commander level i honestly don't know what to tell you at this point
in my opinion i placed them right under yonko but definitely not as strong as somebody like
luffy kaido big mom black beard or shanks maybe not buggy though they could probably take buggy
all i'm saying is that the admirals are strong green bull is insanely strong and we gotta put
some respect on his name for it despite some of his other flaws there's also this moment during
that part of the chapter where momonosuke pops in to try and help out and he pretends to use a blast
breath but all that comes out is like this little puff of smoke i was smiling throughout this whole
chapter but that really made me laugh i think during the final war we will definitely see momo
do a real blast breath maybe not to the level of kaidos but definitely a competent one he really
has grown a lot as a character and you can see it when he tells yamato and the scabbards to stay
back as he finishes the fight like i said i don't think he's beating green bull but it's definitely
cool to see the new shogun so dedicated to defending wana i also think he knows that too like
he's aware of his situation which really does make it very admirable at long last we finally get some
answers as to what happened at the reverie and the information we got in this chapter might actually
tell us how the final war is going to begin just like with green bull there was definitely
some things in this part of the chapter that was expected and some things that were absolutely not
expected the one thing that i think we all knew was going to happen was the death of cobra what i
didn't expect was for sabo to be titled the flame emperor for the attempted assassination to be of
a celestial dragon and for the revolutionaries to seemingly leave marijuana with kuma unscathed
after fighting off two admirals i mean there was a couple things that could have happened
maybe bello betty used her power on sabo to make sabo even stronger maybe fujitora finally had a
change of heart and switched sides there's a lot that could have happened i mean also if oda is
going to call him the flame emperor now and put emperor in his name then maybe that means sabo
is on par with some of the other emperors in the story i don't think i've seen enough personally to
consider him emperor level but it's definitely a possibility and i definitely don't buy the whole
admirals had to be careful because they're in mary jo a thing i mean especially after seeing
what greenville didn't wanna he does not seem like the type of guy who would care about being
careful and that whole thing just seems a bit too convenient for me the other thing is that vivi has
gone missing i would think the world government would use that as additional propaganda to pin
on sabo but for some reason it looks to be detached from that whole situation
i still think that vivi escaped with wano but it's definitely interesting that the world government
didn't use that to make sabo's name even worse than it already is and speaking of sabo and the
revolutionary sparks that he's creating throughout the world this is how i think the final war is
going to begin if the end of this chapter made me feel anything especially with that last line
from akainu it really made me feel like a war was starting and the start of most wars across
the world almost always began with a revolution whether it was the soviet revolution the french
revolution or the american revolution so it really does make sense to me after reading this chapter
that the war is started by revolutionaries not by luffy's pirate crew i did think for a while
that luffy was going to be the one to spark the final war but with this in mind i definitely
think oda is taking this in the right direction there's just so much going on right now in the
story it's kind of hard to take i'm personally so excited that we finally get back-to-back chapters
again and i cannot wait to see what happens with shanks will there actually be a confrontation
with shanks and wano go ahead and let me know in the comment section below and if you have
some time i definitely recommend checking out this theory right here you don't want to miss it
