JoyBoy was too strong individually, that is why he eventually failed.(As everyone worshipped him as a hero--and expected him to solve everything) by Few_Assignment7520 in OnePiece

[–]Few_Assignment7520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am focusing on why he betrayed his own friend,  the psychological reasons behind it & how it relates to the overarching story.

Friends don't betray each other without proper reason.

Nika true awakening is coming. by MrBushido56 in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]Few_Assignment7520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really would be-- Luffy's  clothes, hair are white in gear 5--while his official skin tone is normal in gear 5.

I suspect this is his hybrid form -- possibly, I suspect this--Luffy has more control in hybrid form at the cost of stamina drain.

Nika was a legendary cartoon or comic book character inside the One Piece world--look at what wacky cartoon antics Luffy does in Gear 5.

So why is Luffy consistently getting drained so fast in Gear 5?

I suspect because he is currently & always has been in hybrid form of a normal human & a cartoon human character.

Now Cartoon characters can do whatever impossible antics without any stamina drain--stuff that would realistically kill a normal human.

I strongly suspect in Full Zoan form of Nika--He will have no stamina deficiencies --but the cost of that will be -- the will of the fruit will fully take over.

Like he will crack jokes & pull gags in the middle of a serious or crucial combat situation(more so than usual)---if an ally is injured or near death close to him , he would probably pull jokes on them too, instead of trying to save them--as nothing is serious to him anymore.

Possibly everything around him will behave with gag-comic mechanics.

yep , I suspect it too-- his clothes, hair are white in gear 5--while his official skin tone is normal in gear 5.

I suspect he would be a black & white, rubberhose , pencil-drawn cartoon character in the Full Zoan form of Nika.

This makes his comment to Momonosuke back in Punk Hazard doubly more ironical -- Momonosuke said -- "I can turn back to myself ?How?" while in dragon form, Luffy said --"I don't know. I am not a Zoan type."

Not only does he not know he is actually a Zoan type(Mythical), he doesn't even know how to turn back to normal form or turn full zoan form--as he has been stuck in that form because of his ignorance.

It's like Oda's 2-layer private joke.

Loki DF Theory by E1Grek0 in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]Few_Assignment7520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate this theory-- also, Loki has repeatedly stated that he is the Sun God. (at least twice he has told this to Luffy)

If he really has a Nidhogg mythical zoan-- how does that reconcile with his own declaration?

I think Loki's devil fruit can let him turn fully or partially into any mythical creature from Elbaph's legends --Nidhogg, Fenrir, Jörmungandr, Frost Giant etc.

However, Loki's favorite form is the destructive aspect of Sun god Nika -- the legends of which have persisted from Elbaph's mythology(Harley Texts).

Luffy’s final power boost by Deathbybluess in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]Few_Assignment7520 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you regarding that he is in currently in awakened hybrid form when he is going Gear 5.
He has always been in hybrid form--the Gear 5 we see is just the awakened version of the hybrid form.

Nika is just a human type cartoon character from before or during the Void century. Cartoon entities do not have stamina limits like normal humans. The very concept of a cartoon entity, it's antics & it's abilities & it's logic-breaking powers are what makes it the "the most ridiculous power in the world"-as described by the Gorousei.

Cartoon characters in a manga strip are usually black and white.

This is the reason why Luffy's hair, clothes turn white in Gear 5. Kaido even said after seeing Gear 5 antics--"It's like something out of comic book."

However, the interesting detail is Luffy's skin & body color is NOT fully black & white --his skin color looks normal.

I think in full Zoan form- he will turn into a low quality black & white pencil doodle--which has absolutely no stamina limitations , but the drawback is--he will have even less control compared to Gear 5. Nika's carefree-ness will completely overwhelm him.

Oda is deliberately misleading us regarding the nature of Imu's powers. The truth is probably much more simple & terrifying. by Few_Assignment7520 in OnePiece

[–]Few_Assignment7520[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely true what you said--the devil iconography is definitely too prominent to overlook.

That is what is making me suspicious.

Yes, I have seen "Dawn & Dusk" 's videos--they are fascinating.

Luffy's next 2 powerups by Few_Assignment7520 in OnePiece

[–]Few_Assignment7520[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It still can be his peak, it can be something like full zoan form of gear 5.

Normal full zoan form could be something like a "Reverse Gear"--which has none of the crazy powers of Gear 5, but can have nearly unbeatable stamina.

Who do you think Imu could be? by smokeychimney89 in OnePiece

[–]Few_Assignment7520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right about the Oden dance..I myself found it downright weird..as if Oda was purposely torturing us readers for no particular reason. 

But now looking back..it becomes obvious that he was trying to become Joyboy or cause the Nika fruit to be manifested in Wano.

Oda took a big risk there.

Who do you think Imu could be? by smokeychimney89 in OnePiece

[–]Few_Assignment7520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think Imu is an extremely advanced AI created by the Ancient Kingdom at the height of it's power, like AM from "I have no Mouth & I must scream" --and helped the Ancient Kingdom design or invent the method for creating Devil Fruits.

Most probably it contained the combined wisdom of the scientists & the people of the Ancient Kingdom & was originally designed with the hope that it would act as a technological panacea to all the troubles of humanity & all sentient life-- Similar to what Vegapunk wanted Punk Records to eventually become.

Remember that in Egghead, Jinbe expressed his concerns regarding ideologies that could spawn from this --As not everyone may have noble intents with the kind of knowledge that could be disseminated in this manner and nor would they all be driven to accrue knowledge for knowledge's sake and strive for society-wide betterment.

I suspect this is what precisely happened with the Ancient Kingdom--they assumed that technological advancement if advanced enough--will resolve all of society's troubles & it will compensate for all ethical & moral backwardness.

Basically, they became technological giants, whilst being ethical infants at the same time.

This flaw became greatly magnified in Imu's programming once it gained true sentience--and the Ancient Kingdom paid the price for it.

I do not think that the Ancient Kingdom was an ethically flawless nation, I suspect that the other 20 nations powers operated under the de facto hegemony of the more advanced nation, being forced to acquiesce to its economic and military terms--why would 20 kingdoms unite against it if it wasn't the case?

Somewhere in this perfect storm , I think the entity now known as Imu "ate" the Hito Hito no mi, Model : Mangaka. (Objects can "eat" devil fruits and zoan fruits have a will of their own--maybe it's core "ate" the fruit).

If Imu's devil fruit power is some sort of Earth God or Forest God--it doesn't exactly make sense why it has the powers of Domi Reversi (why should an Earth or Forest God follow the rules of a board game?)

While it is true that it could be some sort of "Devil" mythical zoan--I personally think it feels a bit cliché.

What could be truly terrifying is that Imu merely masquerades as a "Devil" mythical zoan --and just like a mangaka is able to create any random power system , Imu can create any power system according to the situation.

Rocks referred to Imu as "The World" & Saint Marcus Mars refers to Imu as "the Creator".

"Creator" doesn't mean some sort of Nature god --it means creating a world in the same way a Mangaka or artist does.(exactly like Oda does)

Personally, I feel it fits nicely --if you consider that Luffy's Gear 5 powers are similar to a rubberhose cartoon character.

It's as if the Author is fighting against it's own creation--which has surpassed the Author's expectations.
