it could also be that each poneglyph has part of a phrase or password you need for laugh tale to even show up. otherwise someone surely could have found it on accident eventually. its like how nobody would know skypiea exists if not for ships occasionally getting caught in the knock up stream.
The Four Road Glyphs lead to Laugh Tale, but until Roger got to Loadstar and found out that Loadstar was not the last Island, even Roger thought it was the last one because he said they were giddy about what they might find because the "last" Island was supposed to be full of treasure. Roger thought the Poneglyphs were just cultural relics until he found out (Presumably from something on Loadstar).
IIRC, Robin’s point was that one needed all the poneglyphs they had already acquired, so it’s more like Laugh Tale would have the points that connect everything. That or it’s the part that made Roger laugh, like the poneglyphs are the setup to a joke, and on Laugh Tale you finally get the punchline to that joke.
Didn’t Robin ask Rayleigh about the Void Century, only for Rayleigh to say that it’s better if Robin to find it out herself? Along with Usopp asking about The One Piece only for Luffy to shut him up?
He was willing to spill the beans if Robin pushed him, he just thinks it would be best for Robin to see it for herself because she might come to a different conclusion than Roger did.
Yes but I think it is more likely that the Last Poneglyph has a recap or summary of the rest because Roger couldn't have gotten them all because the Alabasta one was hidden in the Royal Mausoleum and I assume that if Roger had gotten in there it would have been brought up at some point because the Future King of the Pirates breaking into the Nefertiti Tomb would have been noteworthy.
Wasn’t the other thing about the poneglyphs that there are about 30 in total, but only about 9 are necessary for the true history of the world to be revealed by the Rio Poneglyph? I think that the idea is that the last one isn’t a summary, but instead would be what to do now that everything has clicked and fallen into place, albeit in a way that either A. Luffy does it while Robin or others are contemplating what everything means, or B. Whatever the poneglyph said is done in a way Luffy is like Homer Simpson saying “whatever you say, Mr, Billboard!”
I generally thing Laugh Tale is multiple things including a Summary/Full History of everything.
This explains Ponio's recent fanart.
Perhaps Lola is his type. Maybe he has a preference for kinda ugly women with big lips. Does not explain why he rejected Chiffon though. He might have had real feelings for Lola. Also, Lola was mentioned (by Chiffon) to want to marry a guy she liked rather than an on-sided attraction. Loki being an asshole was not mentioned by Chiffon so one can assume that he was nice. Considering how close those two were, I doubt Lola would not have said something to Chiffon.
Perhaps both of them realized the arrangement was political bullshit and rejected each other.
Doubt it. To me, it looks like the last thing the giants wanted was BM at the helm but they were doing Loki a favor. BM's murder of Jorul and cannibalism are still a sour point. I can see them arranging a marriage Loki wants but no way would they want BM to be the Queen's mother on their own.
That reminds me. Hajrudin witnessed Linlin's rampage. Even with the bad blood between him and Loki, I doubt he wanted his half-brother to be part of that family. Then again, it's possible Elbaf feared another rampage, especially now that she had family to back her up.
Having the ability to hear the voice of all things must really suck when so few other people can. Also, it's kinda hard for a nation to need an army when every citizen is basically a walking calamity, and how often is it that you get a Captain Kid at the gates?
I think that Harudjin would be fine with whatever made Loki happy and Lola is nice (even if she is ugly and stupid). I doubt anyone would force Loki to marry into the Charlotte Family. They would ally with Whitebeard or Shanks before BM.
i think laugh tale will be the place where we are finally sat down and told everything start to finish. but i also think there will be more to it than that. people think generally that roger laughed when he got to laugh tale because of something funny. but what if it was not happy laughter? everyone with the will of d tends to die smiling or laughing for example.
i always figured loki had a thing for lola because lola reminded him of ida given how lola even though she was big moms daughter was not really special like some of the others. so she just kind of existed.
When Roger and his crew laughed, he straight said he lived in the same time as Joy Boy, and called it a funny story. I think it’s been established why there was laughing.
That all determines on if the final war is settled or not. And then there’s the part of Luffy’s real dream, which was the same one Roger had, and IIRC what Koby vowed to prevent from becoming reality. I feel like if anything is explained, it’s always in the form of what happened in the past, some future prophecy, or either of those things explained in the context of whatever Luffy is currently doing. I doubt Oda is just going to do a straight exposition dump.
A gay one is still in the cards though.
if i remember Koby's dream was that he wanted to be a powerful marine basically an admiral. Naturally when the big final war happens we're gonna see a fated fight against him and the Straw Hats.
Don't forget that he owes Blackbeard an ass kicking for Amazon Lily, and Garp.
