It’s always possible, but I’m still betting the end result is either a buster call or what Lulusia got hit with.
has oda told anyone else his plan for the end of one piece? these posts always make me worry somethings going to happen to oda before he can finish. hopefully this break can give him some time to rest even a little bit.
garp and roger teaming up is almost for sure a cover story for what actually happened. my guess is still that rocks gets killed by imu or one of the gods knights and garp and roger teaming is the cover they use to prevent people from knowing about the gods knights. though harold could be involved it would be a little odd for him to just randomly show up though unless he also got controlled by imu and forced to kill rocks.
IIRC, Oda has told the higher ups at Toei and Shuiesha, and the ending is one of the first topics of discussion whenever Oda gets a new editor. And I assume they all sign NDAs.
When was it ever said the God’s Knights were needed to be kept secret? IIRC, when they were introduced, they were shown as peacekeepers on Mary Goeise , enforcing how the Celestial Dragons were above society by birthright and executing those who goes against that mantra. At most , I can see it like Ohara or Egghead: destroying and censoring to hide and snuff out that which is wanted to be hidden, such as the existence of Imu and how Imu relates to God’s Knights and the Gorosei, or the extent of which the Celestial Dragons have a grip on the world. There’s probably also going to be something like Alabasta, where Garp will be lauded (his “hero” moniker) while the WG works to hide how the pirates did most of the heavy lifting.
i thought they were more like the CP0 of mary goeise in the sense that only the highest ranking people know about them as well as the celestial dragons. also you might be onto something with it being like ohara. it would also explain why the rest of the rocks pirates and rogers whole crew were able to escape.
The God Knights were pretty openly acting like an arms to Mary Geoise they were never really hidden. The places is refereed to as the Holy Land and they're it's protectors.
My take is that Rocks died and his legacy was spread to Roger, Garp and Dragon. All 3 looking for the same objective but through different means. Roger outside of the system, Garp inside of the system and Dragon opposing the system.
Lodestar predates God Valley apparently, which makes the cause and effect of all of this stuff even murkier.
I feel we have yet to see it but I think we will get more characters seeing clear unrest within the WG. It won't be sudden but gradually more people will become more confident in the fact there is a higher power that they didn't know about pulling strings and start asking questions.
I thought the sickness part was before Roger began his journey.
Kind of crazy how that happened. Oda’s gonna find a way to turn tie this back to Loki, right?
It was before he began his final journey but he had apparently reached Lodestar pretty early.
On one hand yes it probably should, on the other hand it would be funnier if it didn't
i have to imagine this will lead back to why elbaf is how it is now. maybe loki really is to blame for harolds death but not directly. its possible loki just brought up rocks too much and harold had to die as a result? it will be interesting to see where this goes since i doubt we will be getting the entire story of god valley right away. unless this somehow jumps over to dragon for some reason next.
