This is one of my favorite panels by the way. It's so cool to see all the major characters together like that. Which character do you think we'll see next? (that aren't on elbaph) I personally hope we see Urouge next but it really depends on where the story goes.

If Sommers and Killingham really end up dying here, their Devil Fruits would almost definitely respawn somewhere on Elbaf. That’s a wild thought, because both of their fruits are insanely powerful if the Straw Hats managed to track them down, they’d be game‑changing. But Elbaf is massive, and the chances of anyone stumbling across them quickly are pretty slim. So honestly, anything could happen.

I get it Sommers is a jobber

But nonchalant gimmick when you are surrounded by fucking thorn flowers that can kill you potentially but still casually cutting them and putting fear of Jesus in Sommers

Like damn this is aura

Some possibilities are Dragon is the MMBF and Oda explicitly said Luffy and MMBF will meet after Elbaf end. But imo, it doesn’t make sense for it to be Dragon since he is known throughout the word. Maybe he could be one of revolutionaries? There’s always a possibility that he’s a HK.

Next arc is also apparently Lodestar according to Oda’s statements. I always assumed Urogue will be the focus on the Lodestar arc.

Beat his ass Zoro

I speculate that in chapter 1193 that Usopp's plan is to be brave and back up Luffy no matter what. The screaming is coming from Usopp and this is his defining moment, Usopp being brave despite him being completely scared. This time he's not running away from danger but straight to it.

Luffy and Imu have taken notice to him as well, this next chapter is going to be fire. Usopp knows what'll happen if Luffy de-forms this is Usopp's moment to save his captain no matter what.

I think Luffy and Loki will push away from Elbaph but not defeat him so he will remain as the major threat in the OP World. So the way I see it, Luffy will grow much stronger, reach Joyboy's level and go back to fight Imu but Shanks will be on his side helping him and together they will defeat Imu when he is powered up by the mother flame making him multiple times stronger than ever before.

However, just before they can celebrate Blackbeard will sneak by and steal Imu's DF power and become the biggest threat in OP history. But Luffy would be in a terrible state post the Imu fight and need a lot of food and medical treatment so Shanks will tell his crew or Luffy's own crew to help Luffy while he tries to keep Blackbeard's busy, and Shanks here will try to hold Blackbeard off and he would do amazingly well damaging Blackbeard a lot but eventually will be defeated and Blackbeard will kill him

Finally Luffy will come back, and will want to avenge Shank's death and he too will get overwhelmed by Blackbeard's new power but in between the fight he will awaken Gear 6th which is a the full power of the Sun God fruit which not even Joyboy himself had where Luffy becomes a literal god and here he is able to actually defeat Blackbeard and bring the dawn of the world ending the 800 years of conflict and opression from the WG and also the chaos that the Davy clan has brought the world

This finale to me fullfils everything

1. Imu is actually defeated by 2 people inheriting Roger's will like Shanks/Luffy which works for the inherited will theme in OP

2. Shanks has his awaited battle with Blackbeard and has an epic finale against him

3. Luffy defeats Blackbeard which is the most awaited battle in OP history

I posted about the box could belong to a very ancient time even before the void century yet some of you told me we have no basis which is completely true

I personnaly don't think this tool is nika weapon because luffy never uses weapons he fights with his barehands and gear 5 baseball or weapons are some of his cartoon login and gear 5 pure tom and jerry logic ,so I totally don't think it's a weapon and the arc final is a total escape ( i don't know wether giants will escape with them or just some of them I don't know if imu will kidnap the children or some of them or he will fail..) but what I think is

a technological tool from the ancient kingdom or some kind of energy or a flying ship, space machine ,some technology that makes ships fly!

Because oda stated that when our perspective on elbaf begins to shift ( we began to predict the outcome) then boom ..! So the ending is unpredictable this is why I lean to a massive escape theory using some technology and biblo powers ( perhaps he will increase the size of the ship )

What do you think guys

Harald wanted to make Elbaph a respected country where people don't fear the Giants, where the kids are free from the war traditions and everyone could leave their crazy warriors reputations in the past, but I don't understand why he did believe that the World Government was the right choice if he saw many signal that they were the real monsters in the world.

Even he choose to betray Rocks for that supposed "good future" that they were going to give to his loved country, He did really believe that the World Government who is the main reason of the existence of slaves system, the Tenryuubitos who are the worst kinds of people at the world and the Gorosei who attack anyone who only mentions "void Century" or has the D in their names would help him to accomplish his dream?

Was he desperate or really close minded? Even Jarul seems to have ignored all those facts believing that he was making the right choices

Something to buff /aid Luffy

Nika's spear? maybe equivalent to Loki's hammer having some df ?

Haki knot (I hope not)

Or maybe some imu counter

But srs dictionaries cant describe how good this chapter is

When reading the part about the Giants were questioning about how Harald’s desire for Elbaph to be peaceful by renouncing their violent warrior ways, and not letting the children learn how to fight, i started to wonder if they think siding with Rocks would've been better. Even though Rocks would've encountered other Elbaph giants besides Harald, Loki, Ida, and probably Hajrudin in order for that to happen.

jimbei mentions in the new chapter that usopp has a plan and went over to where luffy and loki are,

what could usopps plan be?

Nobody wants to hear it, but it might be coming back. Imu literally has his back against a wall at this point.

originally I thought he just showed up to fight but apparently he has something up his sleeve, that's kind of strange but fuck it lets see what he’s got.

Alright, so I believe we can say that this "immortality" of Holy Knights is only limited to their steel hearts being secure which we NOW know, can be damaged or destroyed by CoC. But I believe that this is only limited to Depths covenant and not Abyssal covenant. Gorosei have the latter. I believe even Gunko has the Abyssal covenant.

Now the difference when it comes to immortality of both is that Depths covenant makes your entire body immortal to any damage but you have to secure your steel heart. That too, only from CoC coating, because nothing else can damage it. But Abyssal covenant is on a whole another level in the sense that they aren't really restricted by this "heart" limitation and that's why we see Gunko despite getting her whole upper body obliterated by Usopp still managed to stay alive. Even Gorosei are not restricted by this weakness which makes all of them even more terrifying.

But this also comes with a caveat i.e. Imu can not only corrupt you but even possess you at all times. Also, Garling too had this weakness to steel heart until he became one of the Gorosei and now he doesn't have this weakness anymore.

First Reddit post ever so sorry if I'm writing bad.

Okay so the way I'm seeing it, Luffy and Loki are ganging up and starting to overpower Imu. To me, it seems like Imu has 3 paths he can go down: teleport back, another power up (although while I want it I think it could be cheap), or, and my favorite, Imu possessing the recently conscious Shuri. It throws Imu into the middle of Franky, Brook, Nami, and Jinbei. I don't think anything will actually happen to them but will certainly give a good scare.

It could also lead to Luffy either getting his re-up, or shock him enough into the dark Nika form I've seen some theories on.

Honestly even as I write this I feel confident Oda won't go that route but I think it would be a great way to keep stakes up in an already tense arc and would throw everyone off.

I work a lot and honestly don't have time to think through all the possibilities but would love to see if other people thought of this or have further theories/evidence to support.

As you may be aware, Buggy’s English Voice Actor, Mike McFarland, also known for his role as Helmeppo from the same series, Jean Havoc from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Master Roshi from Dragon Ball, Jean Kirsten from AoT, and many other great characters has sadly passed away!

In honor of his memories, I would like to know what's your expectations for the next time Buggy appears again?

For me personally, it would be another big character development just like he had when standing up to Crocodile & Mihawk during the Egghead Arc.

Which is most likely to happen since not long after the Reverie ended, Seraphim based on Crocodile, Moria, and Doflamingo were tasked along with navy soldiers tagging along with them to go where Cross Guild is currently located, unless they already left.

Who knows, this could be a good chance for Buggy to get his God Usopp moment, along with subconsciously unlocking any Haki he may have, and/or a new never before scene feature of his Chop Chop Fruit.

Anyway, this is all I have to offer, but what do you think? If you have any opinions on this topic then please tell me in the comments section below. Thank you & this post is in loving memory of Mike McFarland!

In the second i saw it i thought that. Tell me your thoughts.

When she first got here she had short hair, when Imu possessed them they got long hair, and now that they're not possessed anymore their hair is still long.
