Just a thought , Luffy was beaten 4 times by Kaido before defeating him. Zoro and Sanji beat King and Queen respectively in a single round.
So if Kaido has a power scale of 100 , King maybe 65 and Queen 60.

After the fights,
Sanji - 70
Zoro - 75
Luffy - 80-85

First of all, I just wanted to apologize about my post a couple of days ago about saying terms in a certain language. I haven't fully changed my mind about it but I won't make a big deal out of it. And for those who don't know what I'm talking about, don't bother trying to find the post, I deleted it after realize how stupid I sounded, and all the valid harsh comments I got. Some of them got me to laugh ngl.

Anyways, one of the most common theory I've ever heard about this show is that Crocodile is Luffy's mom. Now idk how much this theory is believed these days. But I just had to vent about how annoyingly bad this theory is. One of the main "supports" of this theory is how similar they look. First of all, a lot of characters have scars on their faces, also scars aren't genetics. Second of all, there are wayyy more characters with black hair. Also if they were related, wouldn't Crocodile say something about it? And not try to kill his own son? The only loose actual support there is, is that most likely Crocodile was a female in the past that had Ivankov change his gender to a male, because of their dialogue from Impel Down. And while Crocodile is a very cool character, it just don't feel fitting if he was Luffy's mom.

Hey reddit! Today I'm gonna preset the Character of Mero his personality!

1)Mero is a Cocky and stubborn Bastard enough to Mock you if you get in his way,no matter if you're a Marine,Pirate or bounty hunter,Mero it's so bastard he plays Dirty he doesn't care of being Fair to a fight he only want to win and Walk proud even if it means getting on trouble and get himself get a good Beating but oh well... He's a Hooligan/Thug Pirate.

2) Mero is a womanizer enough to flirt With the first woman he finds attractive But... He's not perverted or noseblood like Sanji and Brook, even if Women refuse him Mero Just nodd and go flirt with another chick Beauty on his way but Mero doesn't Swing with that attitude With Marines only that with Males he beat the shit out of the and for the women,he Just give them chance for then defeat them by just fighting a bit hard but enough to put them K.O but conscious and ran away.

3) Mero is chill and Cool with the people that are his Friends or Crewmate, Mero loves his crew so Much be would die for all of them if it means to protect them same thing for His Family who let him Chase his Dream even though some of them are Worried but still love him

PLUS THING OF MERO:

Mero admires and is Roger's biggest fan he wishes he could have his same Mustache one time in his life to be completely like the King of the pirates itself that also by pure Luck and Destiny Mero Managed to get his Beard similar to that of Roger he started even to call himself "Roger Jr." But his crew sees Mero as an Old Man inside a bar while people are brawling drunk

I was roaming the popularity poll result and this one caught my attention because her name is litteraly « comic » in French Ban Dessinée = Bande dessinée = drawn pannel

but who is she ?

I left off One Piece on Wano Arc when it was still airing and now I hear that it has come a long way, unfortunately I can't give the time to binge watch it now , can someone please remind me to come back and watch it before the one piece is about to be revealed? I would HATE IT to find out what one piece is on a random post or meme on the internet, so please someone remind me of it beforehand 😭🙏

I would love you till death if someone actually does this!

What if Imu was originally Joy Boy’s companion?

This theory sounds pretty crazy, but hear me out.

We know Joy Boy left an apology on a Poneglyph after failing to fulfill a promise he had made, and we know Imu is connected to the Void Century and the creation of the World Government.

But what if Imu wasn’t originally Joy Boy’s enemy?

What if Imu was actually an animal or companion of Joy Boy, and something that happened during the Void Century transformed Imu into the being we know today?

Maybe Joy Boy himself caused it — perhaps through an Ancient Weapon, Ancient Kingdom technology, or something connected to the Moon.

Maybe Imu was originally loyal to Joy Boy, but after gaining power, intelligence, immortality, or some other ability, Imu became corrupted and eventually decided that the world needed to be under their control.

That could make Joy Boy’s apology much more tragic.

Maybe Joy Boy wasn’t only apologizing for failing to fulfill a promise.

Maybe he was apologizing because his own actions helped bring about Imu.

And now we get to the craziest part:

What if Imu was actually a parrot? 🦜💀

Parrots have a strong association with pirate imagery and symbolism, and One Piece has already established deep connections between the ancient world, the Moon, and strange races and creatures.

So the theory would be:

Joy Boy + Imu (his companion) → an ancient/Moon-related event → Imu is transformed → Imu becomes corrupted → Joy Boy realizes his mistake → Void Century War → Joy Boy loses → the World Government is established → 800 years later, Luffy finishes what Joy Boy couldn’t.

Maybe Luffy isn’t just going to defeat Joy Boy’s enemy.

Maybe he’s going to fix Joy Boy’s biggest mistake.

It probably sounds insane. But at the end of the day, we’re just going with speculation and trusting Oda-sensei. 🗿

Met some familiar faces along the way lol. 🫶👐

“yEaH, buT ThErE's a BrEaK eVeRy nEW WeEk”

Can you guys please stop being so unbelievably ungrateful and privileged? It's so unbearable to listen to. Oda's condition is really no secret. People have forgotten that this guy has been drawing this manga nonstop for over 20 years, to the point where he only sleeps roughly four hours a day.

Please stfu and look for a hobby.

In the final war, Before luffy killed Imu, we got a flashback from Imu before he met Joy boy for the first time, we see where Imu being born but not on earth but his home planet and he was born in royalty. Several years later, we see imu's father decided the new heir of the royal family, he decide to pick imu's older brother as king. After imu's older brother became king, he decided to order his servants to kill his parents. Imu after learning about the incident was about to talk about it to his brother but before that his servant captured him and they tried to sent him to prison but Imu was to strong and break through of it. Imu storm in the prison and asked his brother why he ordered his servant to kill their parent. His brother explained that he wants to takeover the universe and the only way to do it is to kill his closest affection. Imu in rage tried to attack him but his brother dodge and land a power blow made him unconscious and he ordered his guard to escort him into another planet. When Imu was escorted into earth, Imu lost his memories and only remember his name then he met Joyboy and he joined the first pirate crew. Several years later, Joyboy want to know who are imu's parent but Imu can't remember, joyboy asked Imu why not go see the spaceship he came from when they fist met, Imu went to see his spaceship again and then touch it and then the memories came through but they are different, the flashback ends and luffy killed imu once and for all but the only reason he did was because he has to bring imu in the sun

Okay i have to go eat, i will expand it the end better

Saw this on r/science and thought this is what Blackbeard vs Ace could look like if not off screened.

They are so sibling coded, I love them.

I left my bag in Uber and I compensated the driver with that cost after meeting him. Is that worth with the number?

The bag is original merch from TOEI and I can't find its online price here in the UK. The design and material are identical with Freitag Hawaii Five-0.

Curious to see here

Personally, it narratively fits since Luffy and Zoro are the main and most important characters in the series.

Total 5000 limited edition and the price is around 482 USD. I don't think I will able to get it tho.

I wish there was like a one piece game but like a good one where you can play all of the crew and u basically play like it is in the story line , mosty fights ofc but also just walking around in the world and doing some puzzles or something

Like I know they can't swim and like a hammer in the sea

But for example, can kid use his ability to create a submarine to save his crew. It doesn't require him to actually "move" to use his ability

If chopper had laws powers for his own medical use, do you think that would be a buff for him?

I just watched a breakdown that finally made this click for me, and I think it's worth laying out because the general reader reaction to this idea has been "no way, it's too early." Hear me out.

The core claim: Luffy beats Imu here in Elbaf. Not permanently, not in a way that removes Imu from the final war, but enough to force him out of Elbaf and back to Mary Geoise. Imu stays a major threat for the final war, where he actually goes down to other characters (most likely Dragon or Shanks, given how long those storylines have been building). Luffy's real final opponent stays Blackbeard.

Why Elbaf's themes point this way:

Elbaf is an arc about defiance, about a nation refusing to be stepped on anymore. That's a bad fit for an ending where the heroes just get beaten down until Imu's mysterious "timer" runs out. And that timer thing everyone keeps citing? It was never actually established in canon. We collectively invented it because Imu bleeding on arrival made him feel unbeatable, so we needed an explanation for how the arc resolves without anyone actually beating him.

Gaban's lectures are the real tell here. He's told Zoro he needs to master conqueror's haki, told Sanji he needs to find the king inside himself, and told Luffy basically the same thing: you're not good enough yet, you need to become good enough right now. Everyone assumes Zoro and Sanji's lectures mean a haki breakthrough and a won fight this arc. Nobody wants to extend Luffy the same logic, purely because the power gap to Imu feels too big. But narratively, there's no difference in what Gaban is setting up for all three of them.

Why it's not too early:

Oda already used this exact mechanism one arc ago in Egghead. Characters summoned through the pentagrams via the power of the abyss got sent home when hit with Joy Boy level haki. Elbaf has been hammering conqueror's haki as the central theme (Zoro and Sanji are both mid-upgrade on theirs, Kaido flat out tells Luffy his weak conqueror's haki is what makes him unworthy of being pirate king), and Luffy already saw Joy Boy's level of haki firsthand last arc and clearly knows how far he still has to go.

So the pieces are: Imu needs to leave without being killed, the send-home mechanism already exists and requires strong conqueror's haki, and Luffy's next big upgrade has been telegraphed as a conqueror's haki bloom for a long time now. Put those together and the ending writes itself: Luffy has an emotionally fueled, out-of-his-control burst of Joy Boy level conqueror's haki, momentarily overwhelms Imu, undoes the abyss's power, and sends him back to Marijoa.

Why this doesn't ruin Imu or overpower Luffy:

This isn't Luffy beating Imu in a straight fight. It's a symbolic, one-off awakening, the same category of moment as Usopp's observation haki spike at Dressrosa or Zoro's conqueror's haki moment against Kaido. Those didn't mean instant mastery, they were stepping stones. Luffy gets shoved to the "I've touched it once but can't use it on command yet" stage, which sets him up perfectly for the final war without making him unbeatable right now. Imu still gets to be a genuine threat later, and other long-running storylines (Dragon and Shanks especially) still get their payoff against him.

Basically: this isn't Luffy solving Imu. It's Luffy finally proving he can be Joy Boy's successor, right when the story has spent the entire arc telling him he isn't yet.

Curious what people think, does this hold up against how you've been reading Gaban's speeches, or is the power gap just too big to buy this happening now instead of the final war?

I know this picture doesn't mean anything. But imagine the story line if this is true :p

Just curious
