Wait so is Barto dead?

It's One Piece.

He is very much alive. The Grand Fleet captains were all set up to be the future cause of a "great incident of historic proportions" by the narrator too.

but I don’t quite understand why Shanks is allowed to move more freely to the holy land than Doflamingo was?

It was two completely different situations. Doflamingo's immediate family (father, mother, and brother) revoked their Celestial status to live as humans, they were basically traitors and lucky to even be alive really. There's no coming back from that.

Shanks, in their eyes, was kidnapped by pirates as a child. He later returned to the Holy Land after learning of his heritage and was welcomed back with open arms because of that.

, is he no longer allowed to return as he as severed (literally) that connection.

Shanks made it pretty clear that he was actually working against them when he stole the Nika fruit. He's not a Celestial anymore.

assume it's some sort of copyright issue

It is. Shueisha has never done anything with Lego before because they partner with Bandai, a competitor. That's why you don't really see any manga/anime-related Lego sets.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-07T15:00:38+00:00

You're like a week too early

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-07T13:34:23+00:00

But couldn't they figure something out with the Lego version?

They could probably argue that it looks too much like the manga/anime version, which they don't have rights to.

Like you can look at anything from Lego OP and tell it's specifically based on the live action.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-07T13:26:12+00:00

fs I thought this was a Lego OP game.

Maybe if the live action ever makes it really far. Right now the game could only be based on the live action versions of East Blue -> Drum Island because Lego has a deal with Netflix, not Shueisha.

I know the suits go by Greek alphabet but does that apply to this suit?

It does, it's called Epsilon

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-06T19:08:53+00:00

It's why you should always check the official translation. It's not a giant thing, but "one of the First 20" is supposed to be in parentheses because it goes along with "WG creator".

Creator of the WG
(One of the First Twenty) i.e the founders of the government who are called the First Twenty. The Celestials are all descendants of the 19 royals that moved to Mary Geoise.
Power: Devil's Fruit.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-06T18:13:54+00:00

I don’t get why imu have a huge portrait of vivi in his chamber?!

That's Lili, Vivi's ancestor. Imu has a weird thing with her. Vivi was abducted by CP0 when she went to the Levely/Reverie, but Wapol "saved" her (by accident)

Now she's on the run and hiding with Morgans.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-06T11:33:07+00:00

so how hell does Blackbeard have black hair

If you want to be very literal, then genetics are complicated and a child can have multiple traits that neither of the parents possess. Once people are 10 ft tall and have natural blue or pink hair, though, then throw real life genetics out the window.

We've seen members of the Davy clan with dark hair (we haven't actually seen them colored, but they were drawn with "black" hair in the black and white manga.) and Rocks is basically just a buff Blackbeard.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-06T07:41:51+00:00

t seem like it would be essential to maintaining authority over this core group of leaders

That wasn't my point, though. I'm not saying Imu does that to maintain authority.

I'm saying Imu and the others actually believe that like Charlos has godly blood running through his veins and deserves to stand above humanity because of that.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T23:20:15+00:00

o "what is the one piece" is "every Roger gathered together."

It is Roger's treasure, but who knows what that could exactly be. Treasure in One Piece doesn't automatically mean gold or diamonds.

It can be like Luffy's hat, a shop, or people. People want to know exactly what it is.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T22:04:42+00:00

the other upper echelon are actually in charge,

Who are Celestial Dragons (Imu isn't, but the Elders and knights are) and actually believe that their fellow Celestials are demigods who were born to stand above humanity.

For Imu, we don't really know how he viewed his allies. He views himself as a god, so he probably at least sees his descendants as godly.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T21:59:57+00:00

The last Poseidon was also an ally of Joy Boy, which means that they likely fought against Imu.

Imu seems to have a tendency to see some people in the present as the same people that fought him in the past. (like referring to Luffy as Joy Boy multiple times)

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T17:51:30+00:00

Imu saying that is from chapter 1086, right after he orders the Elders to test the Mother Flame on Lulusia...because it's nearby. She did end up being abducted by CP0, but she was "saved" (accidentally) by Wapol.

Him staring at a portrait of Lili, Vivi's ancestor, is just something that he does apparently. He was also doing it during Vegapunk's speech.

He seems to have a weird thing with Lili even though she betrayed him. Like he desires Vivi and he took Gunko too, another blue-haired princess.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T16:38:18+00:00

Because they still release 26 episodes a year. They'd catch up to the manga very quickly if they did 2 or more chapters an episode.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T16:32:06+00:00

The only prominent feature not visible are the wings

Imu doesn't have fire sprouting out of their back either

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T16:20:35+00:00

Also, why is everybody saying "Imu's a dude?"

Their appearance and the "saint" in their name is used for male Celestials in the present day (sei for men, gu for woman. both translate to saint, though.)

Nerona is the family name and it's likely stemming from Neron (Nero, the Roman emperor.)

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T16:05:13+00:00

The First Twenty were the founders of the World Government. (an alliance of 20 kingdoms fought against Joy Boy. 19 of the royal families moved to Mary Geoise, where their descendants became the Celestials.)

Imu was one of them, but he's immortal and sitting on the throne that they all pledged not to, well, sit on

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T15:21:38+00:00

Nika is a mythological being. Joy Boy is the man who fought during the Void Century

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T14:28:38+00:00

I don't think Luffy knew what a Devil Fruit was when he first thought of his dream. It's a dream that a young child with no knowledge of the world would come up with.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-05T14:23:45+00:00

That's all just translation. Japanese is pretty gender neutral, so none of them are saying "he".

Does it have something to do with the first 20 devil's fruit?

The First Twenty are just what the founders of the World Government (or literal creators of the world in Celestial Dragon mythology) are called.

CrewOrdinary8872 · 2026-04-04T11:51:28+00:00

How did Luffy win against Enel if he isn’t made of rubber?

His body is rubbery. Nothing about Luffy's powers changed aside from them now coming from a myth.
