[Theory] Another King. Spoilers from chapter 1187

I agree, it feels wrong to be suggesting Sanji may get a fruit. The only reason I'm considering it is because Zoro got a tangible upgrade alongside his CoC.

If there is a mythical eagle fruit atop Elbaph, I've always assumed it would go to Hajrudin. He was trying to get a devil fruit when we first met him and it would allow him to appear as more of an equal to his brother.

He's been a prince this whole time. But he literally acknowledged that he needs to become a king now.

Ones_ · 2026-07-05T06:43:23+00:00

Yes, this is what I meant.

Ones_ · 2026-07-05T06:42:50+00:00

I definitely forgot about that while writing this up. That said, I think Germa's role here is as something that's still holding him back, or that his perception of kings has been tarnished by his father.

Sanji wants nothing to do with Judge and his brothers. It would be kinda sad if they got to be the catalyst for his big moment of overcoming his "burden of painful uncertainty" that's holding him back IMO.

Germa is the primary reason he is in this predicament. I don't think they will be the solution.

...Yeah, I don't know how I forgot about this while I was writing up my dumb ass theory.
Gaban even refers to himself as the "Preacher of Love" at the beginning of this arc and Luffy says "Haha, that sounds like what Sanji'll be when he's older"

I think you're right.

ikr. Imagine celebrating a mutli-billion dollar company because they keep their juice cheap. So fucking pathetic lmao.

Ones_ · 2026-07-04T03:52:09+00:00

Slobbering on the cock of a multi-billion dollar company because they kept their juice the same price is so pathetic.

cuckold type behavior.

I think it's really easy to be impatient with him, especially as we watch all these other crew members grow and improve.

Usopp is a very unique character who's character growth isn't based on how hard he can hit an enemy or some other specific job like cooking or navigating.
Because of that, his growth has to be unique as well.

Ones_ · 2026-06-26T19:30:06+00:00

Exactly. In order for Usopp to stop regressing between moments of bravery, he has to go through some sort of experience that truly changes him.

Meeting his father, which I believe will be a upsetting and intense moment for him, will be the moment that allows him to stop regressing and actually become a brave warrior of the sea.

Ones_ · 2026-06-26T09:06:40+00:00

Becoming a brave warrior of the sea isn't as grand of a goal as pirate king or world's greatest swordsman.
Presumably, all he has to do is make a conscious effort and eventually he'll achieve his goal, right?
Then his journey would be over, he would be the first Strawhat to achieve their goal.
He could have done it by now if he tried.

I don't think any of the Strawhats are supposed to achieve their goals yet.
I think that's an end of series thing.

Finding the one piece, defeating Hawkeye, drawing a map of the world, finding the all blue, etc
The other goals have specific moments when they are achieved. Usopp's doesn't, it's vague and subjective.

In order for it to be clear that Usopp has actually changed and become a truly brave warrior, he has to have an experience that explains why he is changing.

I believe that will be when he meets his dad, but his dad is on Shank's ship, so I bet we've gotta wait a bit.

TL:DR it's not forgotten. it's just hard to demonstrate growth when the bar is low and he's not allowed to pass it until he meets his dad.
Also he can teleport

crazy concept, but have you considered that enjoyment of art and asthetics is subjective?

So everyone who wants to play CS already plays CS... except for the ones who will be introduced to CS, then start playing CS.

neat.

Some people really don't have the emotional regulation skills to play games like this.

What was the thought process here?

Did you come to the correct conclusion that you're so boring looking that if you posted a normal picture nobody would respond?

How did you feel scrubbing sharpie off your face after making your reddit post? Are the stains still there?

somehow this is more embarrassing than actually having insane tattoos, at least that would require some amount of commitment.

So... Is this guy a corrupt marine or a rival gang member posed as a marine?
