I saw around a month ago someone saying they are created from sky islands , dont remember the name but they said it was something that probably comes from the sky and maybe there is a sky island above Elbaph
Thats a good question I bet this element are remains of some Gods battle , just like Kuzan , Akaino left some remains , this could be remains of Nika battle , the stones and even sky islands It would have haki implanted and the power to create or imagination from Nika
Even if Loki isn’t a bad dude, clearly the other giants don’t share this opinion. So if Luffy free him, we’ll have to deal with a whole island of giants pissed at us. It’s going to be an early fishmen-Island type of misunderstanding.
I love the idea of Usopp not growing past the big 3 in straight strength (although I hope he does get elite observation and some armament at least) but being super clever with new "gadgets" like the sun stone. Usopps most satisfying fight is still when he fully countered luffys moves in water 7. he just lacked tools of a status high enough to do anything. It would be awesome to see him get tools that have utility at a much higher level. we need batman usopp back
38:15 Syv Regarding the theory about time, notice that Krom mentioned Shanks left the island quite a while ago. But that's incredibly strange-almost unbelievable-because giants don't care about the passage of time, and Shanks left Elbaf less than a week ago. So if time went as usual the kid would have said that Shanks just left or something like that
There is a theory going around about the don't linger too long on elbaf and how there might be a hyperbolic time chamber or other type of time temporal deal happening here. idk. Might be.
Momonosuke could be rebuilding Udon for Yamato to take over as daimyo like Oden did for Kuri. Or crazier theory- Momonosuke is preparing Pluton to send off with Yamato to meet the Straw Hats.
42:00- when the anime finally catches up to this hypothetical Shiki- Oda is either going to have to say that like in his interview that Strong World isn’t canon and that Shiki doesn’t know the Straw Hats personally- which makes the Strong World build-up filler arc even more egregious. Or Oda goes a more bizarre route with this Shiki being the real one of the good timeline and the Shiki of Strong World is just somehow a summoned copy of a bad timeline summoned by some Devil Fruit power that operates similar to the Age-Age Fruit except instead of changing others into alternate versions of others- it summons those alternate versions of others. We have time-travel and pseudo-deities that have reality bending toon force- I don’t see how such a power wouldn’t be too far-fetched at this point.
Also Nami could use the sun stone, like you said if shanks used it for fast travel during marineford arc then maybe you need a navigator to use it. Food for thought, definitely think ussop will be the one to get it, just think Nami is a strong option
Sunstones are not devil fruits they can get more than one also could power up devil fruits because sea stone takes away devil fruit powers each fruit on the crew with a sunstone necklace/ring to power up their fruits power help to unlock awakening/control their fruits.
Loki might turn into an ally, who knows, after all, he and the strawhats do know someone in common, one that they both have good opinions about, and that is LOLA... Loki wanted to marry her.. She might be his kryptonite
I seriously think there is something more going on with what Loki said to Luffy. I have a feeling that Loki is manipulating Luffy into agreeing to free him. Maybe by threatening Shanks, or his crew if he didn't. I think that someone either among the giants or the Straw Hat Crew will pick up on Luffy's behavior and figure out something more to the situation between Loki and Luffy. Another thought I have is that Loki will be freed by someone else and Luffy will be framed for it. Other than that, I'm doubling down on the mystery silhouette being Scopper Gaban. (Scopper Gaban stocks will be going up ya'll!!!) Maybe Scopper is going to be the one that knows where "The Man Marked by Flames" is located and who he is. (Which I am starting to think it's Shiki...)
I thought the man marked by flames was Saul. kidd was looking for him on elbaph, the flames was injuries from Kuzan and instead of flames it’s more like frost bite injuries. He probably has a better understanding of the poneglyphs than robin.
I highly doubt he’s threatening luffy because in the last chapter luffy showed that he has absolutely no fear of Loki and believes he can beat him. Also this is the same character that fought kaido 1 on 1. However I do think it’s possible Loki is trying to get his freedom from luffy via a trade of some kind.
Loki actually fixes more problems than he causes, since they force him to solve issues that he has nothing to do with. Also Big Mom was also big before she went to Elbaph.
luffy's hesitation to talk about who he was with is really implying that he is going to look for the key, this aint looking good but Im excited for it risk the world's livelihood for some Shanks lore Luffy😭😭😭😭 also sea stone and sun stone kinda reminds me of the theories about imu being mother sea itself and the interesting comparisons to the sun god that can be brought up if thats the case and also imigatine Collon inherits some of Shanks sword techniques since we see he has a sword🤔
Yea giving the mischief of Loki as god I think he’ll be a faint that could switch his appearance or even size which could be good fit for him to fit on the crew
It's no surprise that Luffy won't keep his encounter with Loki a secret forever. But hopefully, he'll explain it with his crewmembers, especially Robin's group who recently learned about Loki, which may lead the Emperor into finding a less dangerous way on learning about Shanks.
38:20 Regarding the "Time" hypothesis, this has me thinking that it may be supported by possible association with the *Brag* Men book, given the long history of the word "Brag" when tracing that back through its North European etymology. As it has been spelled different ways throughout history, culture, location etc., (Brag, Bragh, Brach, Brache, Bragg, and more). Specifically, focusing on the Irish, Gaelic, Norse commingling of shared words and expressions through very 'old world' intermixing of culture and mercantilism trading in the "Viking Era" onward. The most common phrase today that you may have encountered is "Erin go Bragh"(Ireland Forever) with the operative word, "Bragh" (and it's alternative multiple spellings) being defined as "Timeless", "Forever", "Neverending", and "Eternity/Eternal". These Giants of Elbaph do live quite a long time and "Brag Men" may very well be alluding to "The Eternal Men", (maybe even immortal, possibly?) and whichever way it comes to be hashed out as the "Poetry"('Poetic Edda', anyone?) becomes crystallized within the advancing plot, there will likely be some sort of through-line concerning the timeless prose and the warning of malingering in Elbaph. Additionally including ties with the Norse Gods/Humans(Giants) "Bragi" as well as "Snori", not 'likely' to be confused with our current arc's Cotagonists, "Dorry and Broggy".
I think the sunstones are only going to be able to do rainbows. If you see actual sunstone, it was made of calcite that vikings used to track the sun during cloudy days. Sunstone is also kind of prismatic which is why Oda used a lot of heavy creative license to make the sunstone capable of creating rainbows.
18:00 Well, both are wrong as the katakana for her is ゲルズ (geruzu). It does begin with a hard g, so the "correction" is more wrong. But we can also see that her name doesn't end in a "d" sound, but probably in a "th" sound as in the word "these", since the letter z is used in stead of s. The e isn't like in "nerd" either but like in "tend". And considering the Norse influences on giants, I'd assume the r is trilled. And while we're on the topic, 45:09 is also wrong, the katakana for him is ヤルル (yaruru), so for an English-speaker his name doesn't begin with a j but a consonant y. Curiously, I noticed that Library of Ohara spelled his name "Jarl" on his website on the Vivre Card vol. 12 page, but the One Piece Wiki uses "Jarul" without citing a source. I couldn't find his card to check, but the former definitely makes more sense - if that's worth anything with One Piece names. 37:17 Big Mom was already big when she arrived on the island, though. But this was my first thought too. It would be a neat explanation for all the gigantic humans we've seen so far. But if so, this would raise another question: what would be the justification for treating giants and buccaneers as separate races from humans then?
Honestly I think Kaido would take down the Gorosei 1v1,, but also I don't put too much weight on Kaido's "1v1 always bet on Kaido" line. That sounds more like flavor text and hype than an actual fact. I think there will be characters in the future and even past who could beat Kaido 1v1
I’m curious to see how Loki convince Luffy to go find the key. Luffy nearly smashed his face in with gear 4, but somehow Loki convinced him to get the key. I wonder what could persuade Luffy besides meat
Yooo wassup syv 🔥💯💪🏾 glad to see you drop a vid again. Also your tats are🔥 probably because it makes you look like one of those Asian gangsters from those tv shows
Best way to start off a Saturday is with an even longer video from you, thanks Syv 🙌🏼💜 Regarding the silhouette character that’s approaching (I hope) , I’m feeling the 80/20 the same way as you but in the opposite direction :D While your point about his stompers not being shown is interesting and a good one, I can’t help but think it’s Scopper , simply because of the lack of a ship’s helm on his head, he could’ve just cut it down to little stumps so that hats and whatnot can fit but I’m really hoping that another Roger pirate trains us during this possible time-skip.
i think pirates were originally adventurers since adventuring is taboo according to the world government they labelled exploring as an evil thing and pushed the agenda to stop people finding about the world. Arnot might be the last explorer and joyboy the first pirate.
back again with more heat🙏🏽 Sun God Syv gotta say as a OP fan, i truly appreciate the consistency, and the perspective you provide per video. especially your collaborations and comment reviews🔥
15:20 I’m pretty sure Shanks simply had whatever the hell Venusjuro has. Ethan was able to like lock onto a person from far away and simply appear in an instant. Shanks has done this at Marineford, with the Gorosei, and in Film Red.
Imo Loki will play a very important role in the story, like he is needed for some special purpose. Maybe he wanted to run away, cuse he didnt want to be used and that's the second reason why they tied him up to the tree besides being a bad guy.
I agree with the shiki thoughts for the same reasons. I also think that luffy will get some good lore for shanks from his giant allies, and then yes the loki thing will play out with dude getting free and a big brawl....
i think that the reason its dangerous for adventureses to stay there is that elbaph is so large, like an RPG with ever expanding map... that you couldn`t resist the temptation to explore all of it.. also, the giants has a different sence of time , like that panel when they said that dory and brogy drink for 3 days. i think the giants hospitality is great, but they dont understand common stuff, or maby they convince you to stay a little bit more or stuff like that? i think that luffy will want to stay and keep exploring and it will cause a problem. we have to note that vegapunk already visited elbaf and left and he was alright. shanks seems to be hanging near the ports of the underworld. also it is important to note that the phrase is said with the mysterious character walking around, so whatever heppend, affected him.
I am just wondering how the banquet will go. They hunt some elk for the feast and just think how on earth straw hats are gonna eat it 😂. What would be funny here though is Luffy turning into a giant and eating the food. 😅
When you see luffy standing on top of Loki with those little dash marks above him, reminds me of the panels of Joyboy and Emeth… maybe history is repeating itself.
In Big Mom's flashback, the village was on ordinary ground and not on the branches of the tree Do you think that village is down in the realm of the dead? EDIT:I correct myself The village in chapter 865 is the same village as in this chapter The architecture of the houses is the same, the guard post, the fir trees, the hills in the background In chapter 865 it looks like the village is on normal ground because you can't see the branches of the Adam tree In chapter 865 on page 12 you can see certain shades next to the clouds in the top right of the panel where the births of Loki Rodo and Goldberg are discussed These shades are probably the branches of the tree In the current chapter there is also a small castle next to the village I don't think it's the huge castle we saw in the distance of the island that most likely houses the royal family I could imagine that this castle was built in recent years, possibly as a burial place for Jarul We know from Big Mom's flashback that Jarul was buried on a slightly higher level with a view of the village. In honor of his fallen comrade, Jorul may have had the usual grave converted into a castle in which he himself may live
I like the idea of "Hyberbolic Time Chamber" of Wano. This might explain why Shanks is so powerful. Like come on, he literally oneshoted Kidd - a guy who got serious blows from Big mom and survived (unless, Shanks is some sort of powerhouse by nature). Also, I think the troubles 5 Elders gave our heroes during Egg Head need to be addressed here at some point (like in a casual converstation during meal or smth.). As such, I believe Straw Hats need training and if your prediction about the time flow on Elbaph is accurate - Warrior Land would be the best place to train for few months.
Cover story: People went seemingly missing for no known cause. suddenly someone unknown steals the blade and vanishes leading to a soon to be rebuilt castle... I believe it is a bit of a trickery being played. Something along the lines of preparing some sort of "acceptance" party for Yamato. You know also kinda to make her trip more exciting..This could also tie in Shinobu as well..
see, the thing about that guy sitting with crocus is, 1- Shiki's hair was down to his legs, it was so long, 2- he wouldn't be able to wear a hat properly, since the ship helm would kind of lift the hat upwards showing us his head, 3- even before getting the helm in his noggin, his hair was still long and down to his legs, so I don't think it was Shiki
when the bar lady told colon that its good the giants skip partying because of how much time would pass over so im thinking MAYBE the GREEN ABSINTHE IS THE KEY TO OUR NEXT TIME SKIP so when the strawhats party in this arc TIME will go by simultaneously fast outside of elbaph
hey syv I read the new chapter it is crazy what if loki just ends up having a lesser form of luffys devil fruit they might even do a crazy combo attack.I also really like your profile picture
Appreciate it! I always like the purple mage aesthetic so I wanted my pfp to reflect it! (Even though I personally prefer knights in fantasy lol). I can 100% see Loki having something that is similar to Luffy's fruit; the double sun combo has to happen!
If the silhouette is Shiki, another point towards it being him is that in addition to those animals that Loki called all being taken straight from Strong World, Shiki also got defeated by Gigant Thor Axe. THOR. It's as if Oda was using Strong world as a test for some Elbaph ideas
Time also moves differently in Asgard to Earth - or Midgard, as they call it - with a week on Earth spanning several months in Asgardian time…..that is how time will work in Elbaf.
Regarding the warning: 1. It can't be time dilation or contraction since the 6 years Loki has been arrested coincides with the events outside. 2. Dorry and Broggy stay in little garden didn't seem to have left any impression of time difference in relation to Elbaph for 100 years. 3. If the time is like that of a hyperbolic time chamber than for many giants there, no only the older ones, are a few years only removed from the void century or joy boy and his crew. Perhaps the solution is straightforward: the problem is to get caught in a conflict or a war, after all, this is the warland.
Yeah honestly I do not think Louis Arnote was referring to anything ultra-specific like time dilation. I think he probably meant, like you mention, Elbaph not necessarily being a peaceful place and that staying an extended period of time would inevitability lead to getting involved with conflict. I don't think this "conflict" that Louis Arnote ran into is gonna be the same as the conflict that the SHs run into this arc. All this feels like a general narrative warning that this is not gonna be a chill arc, rather than some ultra-specific warning against something.
Idk if it is just me but I do not think Louis Arnote was referring to anything ultra-specific like time dilation. I think he probably meant that Elbaph is not necessarily a peaceful place and that staying an extended period of time would inevitability lead to getting involved with conflict. I don't think this "conflict" that Louis Arnote ran into is gonna be the same as the conflict that the SHs run into this arc though. All this feels like a general narrative warning that this is not gonna be a chill arc, rather than some ultra-specific warning against something. Almost like Oda speaking directly to the readers.
Maybe the reason the gym is named after BragMan and he’s being brought up again in Elbaph is because… Elbaph will be a TRAINING ARC. Get those Strawhats in the gym!!!!
Not sure if I remember it correctly but I think Shanks said before leaving elbaph to go after Bartolomeo. He said to lucky roo "You know I cant stay here too long."
Hey Syv, about that cover story. What are the odds of it being Apoo?? You know, the one behind all the kidnappings and the theft. It is absolutely possible, Oda never confirmed that he left Wano. He still had some of the numbers under his control too. He even had plenty of opportunity to scheme about and take advantage of some things from the shadows. Apoo is the opportunistic, scheming and conniving type, that definitely would take advantage these things. The numbers are his backup force but what if he kinda formed a "Animal Kingdom Pirates remnants" crew like how Marco formed a Whitebeard remnants group. Some of the former beast pirates (waiters, gifters, etc) also have rallied behind Apoo. Plus the fact that they're in Udon right now after giving chase, seems like a good place to set-up shop deep within the old prison grounds. The only character that fits the activity, that might still be there, that has the power to run a shadow unit, and could run things due to his experience as a pirate captain, and he's a supernova, that is Scratchman Apoo.
My theory is Roger got sick because of time flows different in elbaph and if you stay to long your body gets used to that. So if you leave after staying to long your body becomes sick because time moves to fast after being to long in a slower time movement.
Some of the negatives is that the size of elbaph is too large for normal sized humans and they could eventually get lost forever or die from giant creatures on the island. Or the longer you stay the more deeper and darker secrets about the past you’ll learn about causing you to be a natural enemy of the WG
okay, so a truely insane theory that i just came up with is that the guy that collects ancient zoans is in wano and has decided to collect the zoan fruits from those that he can (maybe only jack but maybe someof the others as well idk) but the truely insane part (and im not 100% commited to this) is that the stolen sword has eaten an ancioent zoan and has just never been shown off for oda reasons

Well if luffy is willing to lie for him we can pass on Loki is Evil theory. Bc we all know luffys instincts when it comes to judgement of people
even Joy Boy had a Judas
Even if Loki isn’t a bad dude, clearly the other giants don’t share this opinion. So if Luffy free him, we’ll have to deal with a whole island of giants pissed at us. It’s going to be an early fishmen-Island type of misunderstanding.
Yes but shanks is involved so his judgement is clouded
bro he had thoughts about unaliving luffy, no other straw hat not even franky had thoughts like that
Well that could actually be the case, like I totally see this happening@@colibri224
I love the idea of Usopp not growing past the big 3 in straight strength (although I hope he does get elite observation and some armament at least) but being super clever with new "gadgets" like the sun stone.

Anyone else think there’s a chance Uroge is on the “heaven” level of elbaf? Just me?
Yeah me too
Me too, if he ins't in the Heaven realm then he is 100% on the Sun Realm heading towards the Heaven Realm

Momonosuke could be rebuilding Udon for Yamato to take over as daimyo like Oden did for Kuri.
Or crazier theory- Momonosuke is preparing Pluton to send off with Yamato to meet the Straw Hats.
17:28 I think they are kinda like Sun God powers (the sun stones) so now Some other Straw Hat Pirates can have Sun God abilities.
I do think it's correlated the nikas power too, manifesting things by imagination, in this case by drawing
How strong is Louis arnotte i mean dude made it from grandline to elbaph i want to see him now
Maybe he was the original Sogéking before our current one whoever he is

bro luffy is not naruto
i was just gonna say that lol sounds exactly like naruto

21:30 i think three is going to be a problem even before the Loki release in that chaos luffy might release him.

that's wild! makes sense too.
he literally said tht lol
Thats what Syv said, yep.

I have a feeling luffy asked Loki to join his crew
Mann that would be epic 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
After all, his mission for 10 crewmates is not yet completed..

I think the note from Arnot was a narrative warning to us that we won’t be in Elbaph for long
That's too bad seems like it has the potential to be the best arc 😭😭

Honestly I think Kaido would take down the Gorosei 1v1,, but also I don't put too much weight on Kaido's "1v1 always bet on Kaido" line. That sounds more like flavor text and hype than an actual fact. I think there will be characters in the future and even past who could beat Kaido 1v1
I’m curious to see how Loki convince Luffy to go find the key. Luffy nearly smashed his face in with gear 4, but somehow Loki convinced him to get the key. I wonder what could persuade Luffy besides meat
30:03 that’s the funniest representation for a scenario i’ve ever seen you use 🤣🤣🤣
I’d imagine Louis Arnot is probably good friends with Saul
Yooo wassup syv 🔥💯💪🏾 glad to see you drop a vid again.
Also your tats are🔥 probably because it makes you look like one of those Asian gangsters from those tv shows
The heaven part should be Asgard more then vallhala, i think there will be some royal folk
Best way to start off a Saturday is with an even longer video from you, thanks Syv 🙌🏼💜
Regarding the silhouette character that’s approaching (I hope) , I’m feeling the 80/20 the same way as you but in the opposite direction :D
While your point about his stompers not being shown is interesting and a good one, I can’t help but think it’s Scopper , simply because of the lack of a ship’s helm on his head, he could’ve just cut it down to little stumps so that hats and whatnot can fit but I’m really hoping that another Roger pirate trains us during this possible time-skip.
The theory about time could explain why the 5 elders have lived so long too
Am I the only one who thinks shinobu is just hanging out where we left her like all the other characters we’ve seen in the other cover pages so far
i think pirates were originally adventurers since adventuring is taboo according to the world government they labelled exploring as an evil thing and pushed the agenda to stop people finding about the world. Arnot might be the last explorer and joyboy the first pirate.
back again with more heat🙏🏽 Sun God Syv gotta say as a OP fan, i truly appreciate the consistency, and the perspective you provide per video. especially your collaborations and comment reviews🔥
5:40 me doing random stuff… hold on… we still talking about this cover page?🤔 just messing with you man
😂
Good and honest analysis. Will be here for the next ones
22:33 i mean Luffy does have a move called "el thor" and he slams his hammer-like giant foot with lightning
15:20 I’m pretty sure Shanks simply had whatever the hell Venusjuro has. Ethan was able to like lock onto a person from far away and simply appear in an instant. Shanks has done this at Marineford, with the Gorosei, and in Film Red.
Imo Loki will play a very important role in the story, like he is needed for some special purpose. Maybe he wanted to run away, cuse he didnt want to be used and that's the second reason why they tied him up to the tree besides being a bad guy.
I agree with the shiki thoughts for the same reasons. I also think that luffy will get some good lore for shanks from his giant allies, and then yes the loki thing will play out with dude getting free and a big brawl....
27:08 They shove what? 🤣
“Hak-Quack-U” Sovereignty 🦆 🪓
Quack n’ Slash 🦆
i think that the reason its dangerous for adventureses to stay there is that elbaph is so large, like an RPG with ever expanding map... that you couldn`t resist the temptation to explore all of it.. also, the giants has a different sence of time , like that panel when they said that dory and brogy drink for 3 days.
i think the giants hospitality is great, but they dont understand common stuff, or maby they convince you to stay a little bit more or stuff like that?
i think that luffy will want to stay and keep exploring and it will cause a problem.
we have to note that vegapunk already visited elbaf and left and he was alright.
shanks seems to be hanging near the ports of the underworld.
also it is important to note that the phrase is said with the mysterious character walking around, so whatever heppend, affected him.
Could Miss Goldenweek's abilities come from Sun Stone?
I am just wondering how the banquet will go.
They hunt some elk for the feast and just think how on earth straw hats are gonna eat it 😂.
What would be funny here though is Luffy turning into a giant and eating the food. 😅
That thumbnail looks so good man
Seastone (Imu) uses the power of the sea to restrict/weaken others. Sunstone(Luffy/Nika) uses the power of imagination to create things.🤔
Remeber skypiea where it was mentioned there are two ways to get to sky island… i think that rainbow is the direct way
I think the silhouette character is Scopper Gaban from the hair.
Road be giving mini Diddy energy 😂😂😂
"If you have tomatoes make a pasta sauce"😂😂😂😂I thought that was a saying with lemons bro, Syv is always outter pocket and I'll be here for it😂
When you see luffy standing on top of Loki with those little dash marks above him, reminds me of the panels of Joyboy and Emeth… maybe history is repeating itself.
the silhoutte is a man from ohara
In Big Mom's flashback, the village was on ordinary ground and not on the branches of the tree Do you think that village is down in the realm of the dead?
EDIT:I correct myself The village in chapter 865 is the same village as in this chapter The architecture of the houses is the same, the guard post, the fir trees, the hills in the background
In chapter 865 it looks like the village is on normal ground because you can't see the branches of the Adam tree In chapter 865 on page 12 you can see certain shades next to the clouds in the top right of the panel where the births of Loki Rodo and Goldberg are discussed These shades are probably the branches of the tree
In the current chapter there is also a small castle next to the village I don't think it's the huge castle we saw in the distance of the island that most likely houses the royal family I could imagine that this castle was built in recent years, possibly as a burial place for Jarul We know from Big Mom's flashback that Jarul was buried on a slightly higher level with a view of the village. In honor of his fallen comrade, Jorul may have had the usual grave converted into a castle in which he himself may live
I like the idea of "Hyberbolic Time Chamber" of Wano. This might explain why Shanks is so powerful. Like come on, he literally oneshoted Kidd - a guy who got serious blows from Big mom and survived (unless, Shanks is some sort of powerhouse by nature). Also, I think the troubles 5 Elders gave our heroes during Egg Head need to be addressed here at some point (like in a casual converstation during meal or smth.). As such, I believe Straw Hats need training and if your prediction about the time flow on Elbaph is accurate - Warrior Land would be the best place to train for few months.
Cover story: People went seemingly missing for no known cause. suddenly someone unknown steals the blade and vanishes leading to a soon to be rebuilt castle... I believe it is a bit of a trickery being played. Something along the lines of preparing some sort of "acceptance" party for Yamato. You know also kinda to make her trip more exciting..This could also tie in Shinobu as well..
Oda trying to prep us for Christmas and big end of the year announcement
see, the thing about that guy sitting with crocus is, 1- Shiki's hair was down to his legs, it was so long, 2- he wouldn't be able to wear a hat properly, since the ship helm would kind of lift the hat upwards showing us his head, 3- even before getting the helm in his noggin, his hair was still long and down to his legs, so I don't think it was Shiki
when the bar lady told colon that its good the giants skip partying because of how much time would pass over so im thinking MAYBE the GREEN ABSINTHE IS THE KEY TO OUR NEXT TIME SKIP
so when the strawhats party in this arc TIME will go by simultaneously fast outside of elbaph
hey syv I read the new chapter it is crazy what if loki just ends up having a lesser form of luffys devil fruit they might even do a crazy combo attack.I also really like your profile picture
Where tf is the ch I can't find it for the life of me
Appreciate it! I always like the purple mage aesthetic so I wanted my pfp to reflect it! (Even though I personally prefer knights in fantasy lol). I can 100% see Loki having something that is similar to Luffy's fruit; the double sun combo has to happen!
@Snowcone3573 it's on OPScans, translations aren't the best imo but it gets the job done
@@Syv thanks
If the silhouette is Shiki, another point towards it being him is that in addition to those animals that Loki called all being taken straight from Strong World, Shiki also got defeated by Gigant Thor Axe. THOR. It's as if Oda was using Strong world as a test for some Elbaph ideas
3 realms of Elbaph, Kaido has the “Three Realms Ragnorak” move…hmmm✋🏽👀🤚🏽
Time also moves differently in Asgard to Earth - or Midgard, as they call it - with a week on Earth spanning several months in Asgardian time…..that is how time will work in Elbaf.
Regarding the warning:
1. It can't be time dilation or contraction since the 6 years Loki has been arrested coincides with the events outside.
2. Dorry and Broggy stay in little garden didn't seem to have left any impression of time difference in relation to Elbaph for 100 years.
3. If the time is like that of a hyperbolic time chamber than for many giants there, no only the older ones, are a few years only removed from the void century or joy boy and his crew.
Perhaps the solution is straightforward: the problem is to get caught in a conflict or a war, after all, this is the warland.
Yeah honestly I do not think Louis Arnote was referring to anything ultra-specific like time dilation. I think he probably meant, like you mention, Elbaph not necessarily being a peaceful place and that staying an extended period of time would inevitability lead to getting involved with conflict. I don't think this "conflict" that Louis Arnote ran into is gonna be the same as the conflict that the SHs run into this arc. All this feels like a general narrative warning that this is not gonna be a chill arc, rather than some ultra-specific warning against something.
My big and hot theory is time on Elbaf moves differently than the outside world. I just immediately thought about it when i read the last panel.
Idk if it is just me but I do not think Louis Arnote was referring to anything ultra-specific like time dilation. I think he probably meant that Elbaph is not necessarily a peaceful place and that staying an extended period of time would inevitability lead to getting involved with conflict. I don't think this "conflict" that Louis Arnote ran into is gonna be the same as the conflict that the SHs run into this arc though. All this feels like a general narrative warning that this is not gonna be a chill arc, rather than some ultra-specific warning against something. Almost like Oda speaking directly to the readers.
Maybe the reason the gym is named after BragMan and he’s being brought up again in Elbaph is because… Elbaph will be a TRAINING ARC. Get those Strawhats in the gym!!!!
Oda explained rainbow physics in an SBS so who knows; the rainbow travel theory could work
I say if there was gonna be an usopp upgrade it woulda been sea stone at wano. The sunny gets the sun stone
That shirt clean asf bro
I think the sun stones are like, Nika-to-go. They can make fantasy a reality😯
Not sure if I remember it correctly but I think Shanks said before leaving elbaph to go after Bartolomeo. He said to lucky roo "You know I cant stay here too long."
Crazy to me that Bonney gets the excuse of being a kid, but Chopper doesnt.
Hey Syv, about that cover story. What are the odds of it being Apoo?? You know, the one behind all the kidnappings and the theft. It is absolutely possible, Oda never confirmed that he left Wano. He still had some of the numbers under his control too. He even had plenty of opportunity to scheme about and take advantage of some things from the shadows. Apoo is the opportunistic, scheming and conniving type, that definitely would take advantage these things.
The numbers are his backup force but what if he kinda formed a "Animal Kingdom Pirates remnants" crew like how Marco formed a Whitebeard remnants group. Some of the former beast pirates (waiters, gifters, etc) also have rallied behind Apoo. Plus the fact that they're in Udon right now after giving chase, seems like a good place to set-up shop deep within the old prison grounds. The only character that fits the activity, that might still be there, that has the power to run a shadow unit, and could run things due to his experience as a pirate captain, and he's a supernova, that is Scratchman Apoo.
There are Gengar and Psyduck on the sofa and a wild Meowth somewhere
I think it's the BB pirates on Wano. Maybe they want to try using the island island fruit for pluton after hearing Karabu's information
My theory is Roger got sick because of time flows different in elbaph and if you stay to long your body gets used to that. So if you leave after staying to long your body becomes sick because time moves to fast after being to long in a slower time movement.
Luffy will always keep his promise... "oh Ace, I didnt know your father was Roger."
Some of the negatives is that the size of elbaph is too large for normal sized humans and they could eventually get lost forever or die from giant creatures on the island. Or the longer you stay the more deeper and darker secrets about the past you’ll learn about causing you to be a natural enemy of the WG
Where did you get that cross guild tee bro 🔥
okay, so a truely insane theory that i just came up with is that the guy that collects ancient zoans is in wano and has decided to collect the zoan fruits from those that he can (maybe only jack but maybe someof the others as well idk) but the truely insane part (and im not 100% commited to this) is that the stolen sword has eaten an ancioent zoan and has just never been shown off for oda reasons
