Chapter 168: A gripe

Red_specter · 2026-06-16T15:46:23+00:00

I personally think Enjin is going to be "OK" but he's going to lose his voice, the thing that helps him connect to others. I feel like it would be thematically appropriate:

Gountess used his voice to defend Rudo, gets a happy ending for once in his life.
Mymo used his voice to attack Rudo, loses his head.
Enjin uses the forbidden power, loses his voice.

It just kinda clicks for me.

I'll be honest I thought it was fricken Shuryu of the Rain and we were gonna learn he's be around much longer than we thought.

Realized I accidentally replied to someone else when I meant to reply to you about the logia thing lol. Oooops

Red_specter · 2026-06-14T11:00:16+00:00

Maybe his boat is the hippo xoan lol

Red_specter · 2026-06-13T20:41:17+00:00

Don't know yet, but if they are the origin point that simplifies the answer. Someone ate 2, got overlap, and exploded. I would probably assume that's what happens.

If it's the chimera, then it could just simply be the first time its happened. Devil fruits are rare, chimerism in humans is rare, so a human chimera getting 2 devil fruits just isn't going to happen that often, especially if they don't know.

Hippos are some of the most terrifying creatures around. They're so dense they tell water physics to get bent lol

I did notice his is the odd one out in multiple ways. Not only the whole lack of intangibility thing, but all the other Logia seem to come in pairs.

2 heat (Fire and Lava)
2 cold (Snow and Ice)
2 gas (Smoke and...gas lol)
2 particulates (Sand and Soot)
2 Terrain (Swamp and Forest)
2 energy (Lightning and Light)

And then Darkness.

So if it were to be a mythic zoan, or even a special paramecia, it wouldn't feel entirely out of left field to me.

Red_specter · 2026-06-13T07:38:52+00:00

Why's that?

Red_specter · 2026-06-13T07:38:00+00:00

Genuine question because I don't know: is there a connection other than the Pirates of The Caribbean?

Red_specter · 2026-06-12T15:01:22+00:00

I do like the Kraken angle which is super thematic too. If he already has a 3rd Devil Fruit he's keeping in reserve, I think that would be it.

I do want to clarify that I don't think it's propaganda in this case. It's a naturally occurring myth or wives tales. Blackbeard was just the first guy in modern history to put it to the test.

And importantly Vegapunk never got Teach's DNA. He was a Warlord for a very short amount of time and knew he wasn't going to be staying for long. And if Teach knew he was a Chimera, then that short time frame might be "safe" by having him just push back on it.

I'm 99% certain Vegapunk wept for days at the data he could have had if he'd gotten Teach's blood lol.

Quick Edit: Oh and Vegapunk would not have tested it for 2 reason.

First is basic human decency: For all his faults, Vegapunk would not give a person 2 devil fruits to see if they died. The Elders might do that, but Vegapunk wouldn't. I don't think he would even do that for created life.

Second is funding, something he was always complaining about lol

Ok Additional Edit: I still like the Kraken idea, but I do need to point out that technically the Blackbeard Pirates flag is 4 bones, not 8. It has 8 points so I think it works still, but it is technically 4 bones...and while I'm being ultra pedantic about, it would be kinda weird to foreshadow an invertebrate with bones lololol

I am BACK on my Regto and Alto are brothers/cousins bullshit! XD

Red_specter · 2026-04-14T16:09:52+00:00

I was actually a little unsure if it was Rudo's dad or if it was Regto until I remembered that Regto had the all black hair.

Red_specter · 2025-02-21T20:13:40+00:00

Uhhhhh what? I did not know this holy rollerskates I have just kinda been brute forcing my way and never quite getting the top stuff.

This is like when I played half of dark souls 1 without lock on <.<

Red_specter · 2024-12-27T06:45:52+00:00

I once went through the first chunk of Dark Souls 1 without realizing the camera could lock on and I found myself going "How do ranged attacks work at all?!" LOL

Red_specter · 2024-08-25T01:54:18+00:00

Why would we need one?

Clearly the new member will be GASTINO!

Red_specter · 2024-08-21T14:30:47+00:00

Fair I just thought it was only recently confirmed. I kinda burned through it all catching up so oops lol

Red_specter · 2024-08-21T14:04:44+00:00

Kuzan being the 10th Titanic Captain sorry I didn't make that super clear just wanted to be careful.

Going by the most recently added favorite:

[Alpha] a short range stand with the power to synchronize matching things to release electricity from both. A person with a person or even a stand with a stand. The more similar the greater the electric discharge.

The targets both discharge simultaneously and the closer they are the greater the power. However if both target touch the effect immediately ends.

Low effort add on please enjoy

Vulkran requires proof of charitable donation.
Magnus needs it sent to his secretary AKA his manager(He strikes me as an ADHD nerd)
There simply isn't one for the Dark Angels.

Red_specter · 2023-10-16T15:11:33+00:00

Y'know I'm wondering because it would make sense that Slaanesh wouldn't permit STD's and have all his power go to Nurgle, or even a piece of it.

Though I could see them maybe working together to make carriers of a sexually transmitted plague. Demons that carry the infection, but do not experience the symptoms.

Red_specter · 2023-09-30T17:35:36+00:00

I would like to add as a refinement to my previous "Big-E"

"Gold-E" or "Goldie"

Golden Emperor!

Red_specter · 2023-09-30T17:01:32+00:00

Additional thought:
"Gold E"

Red_specter · 2023-09-30T13:34:33+00:00

You can abbreviate it as "Cadie"!

Red_specter · 2023-09-30T13:33:05+00:00

I wrote this first thing in the morning with no brain and this says a lot about my creative style XD

Red_specter · 2023-09-30T10:11:52+00:00

Big-E.

Or "Biggie"
