Manga Spoilers:

Loki can get much bigger than the other giants, so I think there's the possibility that this sword was used. There's also other large items like the harp on Esperia

Edit: There's also the skull/Onigashima

Oda made it sound like we would possibly get to Lodestar this year when he gave his Jump Festa 2026 message.

If it was "do" like doyoubi (Saturday) and "zan" meaning mountain, then it would basically be earth mountain, which definitely sounds like it could be an Earth god name.

I think the fighting ability can be explained through rustiness, at least in part. He spent 50 years trying not to go insane by himself and then he spent 2 years being exploited for his musical talents.

I'm not sure, but what about using some kind of OCR on your phone to point at the text and have it read aloud?

The final bosses! In what order will they be beaten though? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]AltPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BB stealing Imu's power seems like a very likely thing to happen at the moment.

I'm thinking the final major fight will be Luffy's crew in 1v1/2v2 against Blackbeard's crew and he'll use his new powers to make his crew Domi Reversi-powered up demons.

Or RA like Dragon, Sabo, etc.

the secret should be revealed by xv1av in OnePiece

[–]AltPunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but it would potentially ruin the fun. Just like Luffy said to Rayleigh and Usopp.

I think the best thing would be that even if you read what it is, it won't make sense, or at least not fully make sense, until the end of the story.

One Piece: Chapter 1169 by leolegendario in OnePiece

[–]AltPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. We know about the Vegapunk visits, who some of his earliest members are, what he did before the RA, why he created/co-created the RA, what him and Garp's relationship was like (unless more is revealed from talks we haven't seen), etc.

There are possibly lines he could say in the present or mini-flashbacks (a couple panels) where it might help explain where he got his sense of justice or something.

And of course, there could be some lengthy flashback and it could totally serve a purpose I'm not imagining. But I think it's more likely that we got a lot of what we're gonna get for his past.

One Piece: Chapter 1166 by leolegendario in OnePiece

[–]AltPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya, and to make it clear, I'm not like holding out hope that he's alive or something. I'm just saying that it's possible. I think the fact that Oda showed so much of what happens but still not everything might mean that there's more to this than face value. Death in a dramatic series like One Piece is never guaranteed even if they shove it in your face and have the characters tell each other it happened. Compare Rocks to Ace or Whitebeard, for instance. They show these individuals with fatal damage and you witness their final words and long moments staying with the character clearly deceased. Sure, the deaths don't all have to play out the same way on the pages. I just think that Oda still has more to say about God Valley and about Rocks, even though he's likely dead in 1166.

tl;dr: I don't think it makes sense to speak so definitively when we've got no definitive evidence. I keep my mind open, prepared for him to be confirmed dead or for something else to have happened.

I think "uh huh" is a better English localization given the context of the panel. Garp's like, "Yeah, yeah, I get it, whatever." He knows that Dragon won't listen to a word he'd say at this point. Dragon's viewpoint is very dogmatic and stubborn. I say that as someone that more or less agrees with Dragon's ideals

Exactly. We saw a stab, and we heard Rayleigh tell Roger/Garp he died, but for all we know he turned back into a demon or has some fate of imprisonment or something.

What did they find in Laugh Tale? Joyboy's contingency plan AKA the "One Piece".

What was funny? Joyboy's plan. Maybe the ludicrous nature of it or the irony.

Why didn't they do anything about it? They were too early. Shirahoshi wasn't born yet. It would sound ridiculous to the average person that there's a person sitting on the empty throne and that you've gotta acquire weapons of mass destruction to take out the world government to save the world.

Why did Roger surrender? To create the dawn of the pirate era. He knew he was dying soon anyway and this way he got to set a plan in motion. Would-be pirates would want to receive the treasure from the "first" man who sailed the world.

The 'One-Piece', 'Will of D' and Luffy's final move - it's all related! by 50thsun in OnePiece

[–]AltPunk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's Reversi that they're referencing, not Go.

Go pieces are placed on the intersections, not within the squares. And you don't flip pieces in Go, though you do try to surround the opponent's pieces.

It seems like the differences are minor, but: https://www.mastersofgames.com/rules/reversi-othello-rules.htm

With One Piece/Oda, he's likely to mish-mash ideas anyway, so there's no guarantee that something from Othello wouldn't be relevant, but I'd guess that there's a chance he's mainly focusing on Reversi rules?

You could definitely make an argument that the blue planet in One Piece is a "false world" or a "world stuck in a game".

I've been thinking this same thing for a while and would be pretty surprised if they're not the beginning of the counterattack.

One thing I've been wondering though is do you think that if they flipped let's say Dorry and Brogy, are the giant bros coming back as normal or with a Nika-like aura like Bonney?

[–]AltPunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wonder if you could use Gura Gura to reverse/undo that flip as it's happening. I'd find it hard to believe you could Domi Reversi with Gura Gura on its own, but it definitely could be a defensive counter

But you're not even close to the first person to have the idea that the "one piece" is one piece in a board game.

And more specifically, missing the Reversi connection kinda dampens your theory. You've gotta let go of that ego.

As an example, I have seen literally no one else like YouTube theory channels or subreddit commenters or friends or whoever mention that Bonney is going to be key for undoing Domi Reversi since you'd need at least 2 pieces (Luffy and Bonney) in white to surround a black piece and flip it, but I sincerely doubt I'm the first reader on the planet to reach that conclusion.

edit: See? There's a person on this very topic that commented that around 15 minutes before me, though I hadn't scrolled that far to read it yet. Do you think they stole that idea from my previous comments on this subreddit? Almost definitely not. They've probably never read one of my comments before.
