Luffy is on the verge of awakening,
and I have a very specific Idea of what this legendary power is…
Welcome back sunlight alliance! This is your captain speaking!
I’m just gonna go ahead and say it. Luffy is, and has always been special. And now more than ever,
I think that this is an irrefutable fact. I might make a full video regarding this subject,
but I’m bringing this up now because of what happens in this
chapter. Full spoilers ahead, you have been warned.
Let’s talk about Luffy. The conversation between the Gorosei that brings us back
to Luffy versus Kaido surprised me. Back during their last conversation when they
talked about getting rid of inconveniences, I would have put all of my money on nico robin.
There were a lot of people who speculated that they could be talking about Luffy and now we
know. They were most definitely talking about Luffy, so kudos to everyone who predicted that.
We can also now more confidently speculate that the fruit that they were discussing is indeed
the gum gum fruit, luffy's fruit, that was stolen by shanks. Now I want you to pay attention here,
because I am about to go into detail on why all of this is connected. After you hear this
and look back again to see how obvious it was, it’s gonna blow your mind.
Our first event is right at the end of whole cake island,
where Shanks sees Luffy's new wanted poster and says they will be meeting soon. Second,
Shanks appears at the reverie to speak with the 5 elders about a certain pirate. Third,
we flash forward to Onigashima. Who’s Who tells Jimbei of his quarrel with shanks and
why he hates Luffy. We also find out that Shanks had stolen the fruit from a government ship,
and that the Gomu Gomu no mi is a very IMPORTANT fruit. With our fourth event, we go to the 5
elders who are having a new conversation not long after having their conversation with Shanks,
talking about Nico Robin being apprehended, and getting rid of other inconveniences. There is
a gap in their conversation, then once we go back to them, they are having a heated
discussion about a legendary devil fruit with a secret name of great importance. They say it
hasn’t awakened for centuries. And lastly for our final event in this chapter, the 5 elders
order the execution of monkey D Luffy, because of what MIGHT happen if this fight continues…
What did Oda establish earlier in the arc? Luffy’s fruit is important. What did Oda establish
at the beginning of the arc? Shanks commenting on meeting Luffy. He has even stated around the same
time that a red haired man is starting to make a move. What else did we learn about shanks?
That he stole the Gomu Gomu no mi. When did we learn this? At the same time we learned that
luffy’s fruit is important. And now the 5 elders want to eliminate Luffy after learning of his
“special fruit” and it’s legendary awakening capability. Do you see now how all of these
events are connected to form a plot thread we didn’t even know was there? I mean we had ideas,
sure lots and lots of different ideas, and it ended up being that some of those ideas were
right, but i dont think many people knew that they were all connected like this.
There is obviously a growing plot thread that’s been drip fed to us in Wano,
spread apart just enough to make it so we don’t know it’s there; that plot thread is
going to lead us to Luffy meeting shanks, and creating a believable, inevitable, conflict.
So we know now that it’s all connected, but there are still two extremely important
questions to be answered… One, why is Shanks talking
to the world government, and if it is about Luffy like how I suspect,
what information could he give to them that benefits the world as a whole? Shanks knows
a whole lot more than has been portrayed, so what’s his plan? What “move” is he making?
Why is luffy’s fruit so important. What could possibly make a rubber fruit so special?
My theory? Awakening. The Gorosei specifically referred to this legendary devil fruit
awakening. They also referred to this fruit having a different name. Constantly throughout this arc,
we have seen the alliance, or rather Luffy's side, constantly restate how confident they
“feel” despite their insanely low odds at winning the battle. Not only that, but Hawkins has been a
great communicator of the odds Luffy and people on his side have for victory. Don’t forget that for
some reason, Luffy’s odds of defeat never go below 1%. Now, what do we all know Luffy's superpowers
to be? He brings people together, and he always bounces back. Even if he loses a battle, he
always wins the war. It’s like he has always had some sort of mystical device, guiding him along
his journey, pulling him back up when he’s down, swinging around nature to open a path of escape,
tugging on people’s hearts and minds, changing their views of themselves and the world, to make
them second guess, and to make them ambitious. Now what is this metaphorical device? It’s the will,
It’s the drive in all that came before Luffy that has now become a part of Luffy, and it became that
way, right when he ate the devil fruit, all the way back in chapter one. Luffy was always special,
even before he ate the Gomu Gomu no mi, his lineage has proven that. But just being born
from a special or important lineage does not give someone the same will, the same exact dream
of those that came before him. I don’t have a specific or exact guess as to what this legendary
awakening could be, but something tells me that it’s related to all of this. Reason being, it
would make a lot of sense for the world government to all of a sudden become more fearful of Luffy,
after finding out that Luffy's secret power is the will of Joyboy, roger, the power to bring people
together and make them stronger, and the hand of fate which makes is impossible for Luffy to lose.
ALL of these powers the world government knows will eventually lead to their downfall.
Sorry I know I spent a heavy portion of the review on that,
but it’s such a crazy revelation, and I am so excited to see Luffy awaken. This along
with a bunch of other things are some of the most anticipated moments in the entire series.
Besides that we still get some more insane stuff in this chapter, with the chapter
starting by resuming the conversation between Momonosuke and Yamato. Momo states that even
though he has had a conversation with Zunisha, he still does not know anything about laughter.
Even after reading Odens journal he finds out that his father actually
ripped the pages about laughtale out of the journal so that nobody can learn the secrets.
However he now knows how important he is, and how integral it is that he stays alive
to open the borders of Wano. It also seems he learned why Wano’s borders were closed,
which is starting to give him some second thoughts. At the same time, Zunisha is on standby,
and ready to fight. Which is insane because Zunisha has a literal island on their back and
could probably wipe out the entirety of Onigashima with a few swings of it’s trunk. So I think having
Zunisha fight is extremely overpowered, but I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
Everyone is making their escape from Onigashima, with riazo being picked up by Jimbei,
zoro being saved by Franky, still no grim reaper to be seen, and nami escaping with zeus, marco,
speed, and tama. Which makes me wonder where Usopp is since I recall them being together last time I
saw them. Izo, now aided by Kiku, are losing their fight to CP0, who now have the new order to kill
Luffy. If I were the CPO leader, I’d be feeling especially exhausted. I mean he has been ordered
to somehow stop a fight between two emperors of the sea, and kill Luffy, the protagonist of
the story, who we have already established to be pretty much invincible, and probably
in the early stages of awakening. The world government sure expects a lot from these guys.
We still need updates on brook and robin, Denjuro, Sanji and chopper, and a whole bunch of others…
but I think it’s safe to assume that those who are not currently facing off against CPO are either
saving, escaping, or being saved. Although I’m sure there is some interesting stuff
going on behind the scenes that we are not yet aware of. It looks like Kaido's backstory is
right around the corner with some small things being shown to us in this chapter after Kaido
discovers Big Mom's defeat. Personally I want to see even farther back, where did Kaido come from,
why doesn’the know how to talk properly at the age of 15? Not only that but what big mom said about
rocks makes me wonder if we are going to get some more rocks exposition, during kaido's flashback,
maybe it’ll be like a rocks history lesson along with kaido's backstory. Luffy taking advantage
of Kaido's lack of attentiveness, pummels Kaido with a new snake man attack, hydra,
the nine headed snake. He states that this will be his final gear 4th transformation, and that
he will not stop until he’s finished off Kaido. God I am so hyped for the rest of this fight.
Also as most of us suspected, Hiyori has revealed herself to Orrochi, and stabbed
him with sea stone so that he cannot transform into his mythical zoan form. My question now is,
will she leave him to die? Or will she finish him off herself? I always thought momo would be the
one to finish off Orochi, but anything can happen at this point and especially in this situation,
that outcome is very likely. The cover story for this chapter made me chuckle a little bit, I
really like pudding's character so this was a nice relief from all the craziness going on in Wano.
But I gotta say, as hyped as I am for everything that's currently happening in the story,
I’m ready for the next thing, and I think that's a common sentiment around the community right now.
So BEFORE YOU GO I have a question for you, what are you looking forward to the most? Is
it shanks? Luffy's awakening? The end of Wano? Or Momonosuke’s importance? Speaking of Momonosuke,
I came up with a wild theory about him that you CAN NOT miss, so click this video right here.
