One Piece - I'm Gonna Be the Pirate King!

The Bull horns on saturn are more fitting than people realize. I believe saturn shares a star sign with (or in canaanite spheres is considered interchangeable with) the fire demon Moloch, represented as a man with a bulls head whom children were sacrificed to via burning.
 
People hyped up the Gear 5 reveal episode as this internet breaking event, but this will take the cake for me, personally.

Watching reactions to Chapter 1079 is what got me into One Piece, believe it or not. Imagine copiously watching One Pace edited episodes and reading select arcs just to figure out why everyone worshipped this "God King Daddy Shanks," and collectively busted the biggest metaphorical nut ever when he smited and one-tapped the "bum, Useless Cappin' Mid, and his boy, Filler." I wouldn't trade it for the world. Thanks, Oda.

The thing about Shanks is that it’s like the endgame on Laugh Tale: people think they have an idea/the answers, but Oda is very adamant that his readers only truly figure out and realize how all the pieces connect and how all the loose ends tie together and how all the holes are filled…at the exact same time Luffy figures out those things, and not a second earlier.

So our end result is we only get bits and pieces like this.

The series is clearly building toward Luffy and Shanks meeting again, and only at that meeting, is when the readers (and Luffy) get the full picture of Shanks and his true power IMO.

So my brothers theorize Shanks is gonna die right as Luffy reunites with him to give him the hat back. I made a comment he's going to get assassinated during the exchange because Shanks' guard will be down, and my brother thinks if anyone will catch him offguard in that regard, it'd be Beckman.

It's a horrifying thought if it turns out there's a traitor on his ship, though I could see Catalina doing it to frame Shanks' shipmate. That's the only way I can see a Shanks death happening tbh.

i don’t see a betrayal happening. If anything, a Shanks death would kick off the final showdown between Luffy and Blackbeard, if only to show how Luffy has grown since Ace died at Marineford.

Also , we got a translation of that Shanks trailer.

my theory is that shanks will die before they get out of elbaf because he is actually one of the gods knights or perhaps the son of the leader and this whole time he has been trying to hide because he stole the nika fruit from imu.

It’d explain why Sengoku and the Gorosei listened to him. But then why wouldn’t they just kill Jim on the spot when given the chance?

Mmm, pure Shanks glaze...

Every Shanks appearance is glaze. Since Romance Dawn. And every time he shows up, it’s to get folks excited for when he sees Luffy again. Because that’ll be the only time we see him at full power.

i dont think he has ever given them that chance. its also possible they do not know he was involved with the nika fruit getting stolen and think he is trying to find who stole it by going undercover.

Lilith is being setup as the only Vegapunk who survives Egghead. Final straw hat crewmate confirmed.


The manga comes full circle and Shanks is eaten by the same sea king who took his arm.

What would Lilith 's job be? Scientist like Franky? Scholar like Robin? Whatever she could do, others can do too. At least Carrot had the lookout position but everything Lilith can do is being covered.
 
Lilith will be a resident tranny for strawhats twitter. Since Yamato didn't get to join they need another characater to attach themselves to. Since original vegapunk was a man and she's a woman it's obviously trans thing. She even has the tranniest name possible.
