Just a reminder to everyone that parts of what Vegapunk saying over here is though known to us, it's unknown to the world at large.

Aside from that, THE ANCIENT WEAPONS SHATTERED CONTINENTS. Absolutely loved this chapter and I think we are getting imu reveal soon.

u/Behanort May 23 '24

yeah, i think some might complain that the info so far is either stuff fans have already fiugred out, or stuff we already knew...

But dropping new info to readerrs isnt the point - its to inform the world whats at stake and why deafeting world goverment is good actually, and who even is thier future savior. Without this speech, the average joe would just be confused as to why the Revolution and the celstial dragons overthrow are a good thing

270

u/Xplorer67 Cipher Pol May 23 '24

Exactly, because I know there will be people going “Man, Vegapunk is just saying everything we know with just one or two bits of new information."

Without this speech, the average joe would just be confused as to why the Revolution and the celstial dragons overthrow are a good thing

The Revos will be rolling in recruits with this speech. It's gonna get crazy

u/filthyireliamain May 24 '24

not just the revolutionaries, i would imagine buggys business gonna boom as well

u/kingjack170 May 26 '24

if only tbone suvived a few more weeks, im sure he would of left the navy after this anouncment

u/filthyireliamain May 27 '24

tbones not dead until i see his body

u/Sir-Thugnificent May 23 '24

« It’s gonna get crazy » till Oda decides to character assassinate everybody by turning the world-changing battle royale into a snoozefest filled with characters acting goofy

37

u/zaerosz Void Month Survivor May 23 '24

why are you reading one piece when you clearly don't like it

-30

u/Sir-Thugnificent May 23 '24

Because I didn’t read 1000+ chapters of a story to not know the conclusion of it

53

u/BusyExperience9766 May 23 '24

Was it known to us that Joyboy fought with the ancient kingdom against the 20 rebelling kingdoms? Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention but I thought that Joyboy could have been revolting with the 20 kingdoms and then gotten betrayed by them at the end.

24

u/Transmatrix May 23 '24

Definitely seemed to be pointing that way, but was just theories nothing solid until now.

4

u/ScreamingIntrovert May 24 '24

It's filling the readers in on meta info. All this was speculation until Oda confirmed it this chapter. It wasn't meta lore until today even if we already knew it based on our endless analysis of the series. What was speculated became factual this chapter.

the first conflict could still be a reasonable debate. like freedom vs authority thing

u/Serbaayuu May 24 '24

Saul should have simply debated the morality of executing a whole town with his superiors, doesn't he know that betraying his officers and lying to people to save lives makes him the real intolerant one?

2

u/Sasukuto May 26 '24

So i think it serves two purposes. One is the one you pointed out. While we the viewer know these things, the characters in the world dont and need to learn about it. But also, I think its important to remember that your average one piece fan isnt a super fan who checks reddit eveey week for all the inteicuit details of each chapter. So the second thing this is doing is giving the audience a giant recap of all the important lore bits right here at the opening of the final saga. Oda realizes that his manga is over 1100 chapter long at this point and that he hid allot of this lore scattered in small pieces across the entire series, so this is juat a consise recap that pulls all that information together while also sprinkling in a few new details for the super fans who know all this stuff already.

They’re the types that have never read a book before

u/javitheworm May 23 '24

Maybe Imu reveal once the Gorosei go back to Mary Geoise to discuss the next plan of action?

91

u/BanjoSpaceMan May 23 '24

I think there's hints to the world not believing even with the rise. So Vegapunk has one last final nail in the coffin move to make. To force the government's hand to use their weapon on Egghead. The Egghead incident, while live streaming it to the world by tricking them to think the broadcast is from the island. Finally showing everyone the undeniable truth.

28

u/KamuiSeph Bounty Hunter May 23 '24

Ooooh that's actually a really cool theory.
I thought originally that Vegapunk would record the elders going wild and leak THAT.
But planning for the entire island to get 86'ed and show it to everyone like "SEE? Now sea levels will rise 2.3m. WATCH ME COOK!"
That would be sick.

10

u/LeapYearFriend May 24 '24

livestreaming egghead getting lulusia'd would be a galaxy-brain play.

very fitting for a guy whose brain is so big it's basically an entire building.

3

u/tokyogodfather2 May 26 '24

Ooo and the foreshadowing of “Kill every living thing” makes sense too…. Also explains why you brought Kizaru…he’s the only Logia (iirc) in the fight and the fastest one so he and the immortal elders don’t have to worry.

And if he knows that ALL his colleagues are gonna die…it really explains his depression and desire to be left alone…he doesn’t even want to look anymore..

2

u/links_pajamas May 25 '24

Oh no... I think you might be right, oh nooo...

2

u/schiffb558 May 25 '24

I never pieced it together like this before - you're absolutely right. Having Egghead get lulusia'ed and have that streamed to the world at large would be huge.

25

u/Xplorer67 Cipher Pol May 23 '24 edited May 23 '24

Yes, i think it's either that or if Vegapunk drops some information which is directly/ indirectly related to Imu. Even the end of the speech could be the perfect time too

19

u/Worthyness May 23 '24

Unless the gorosei manage to blue ball the world (and the readers) at the exact point of the most important piece of information

2

u/goodyfresh May 24 '24

I think that York is actually the most likely to do so, not any of the Elders.

At least based on what she was doing when we last saw her.

4

u/Hairy_Acanthisitta25 May 23 '24

imu plan is probably just keep using the mother flame as often as possible to achieve purge sooner

2

u/piper1871 May 24 '24

I wonder if the theory the Elders are a part of Imu will be shown to be true. His big reveal will be right as he absorbs one or more of them back in because he's so angry.

2

u/Celebrity-stranger Void Month Survivor May 24 '24

Will be wild if all the theories about the gorosei being extensions of Imu are true. So far (to me) it seems like Pain in Naruto where there is one main body (Imu) puppeteering the others.

It would make things make sense that everytime we see the gorosei talking and we see imu, Imu"s speech bubble is "..." and when Imu is speaking, they are quiet.

70

u/shartley123 May 23 '24

I don’t think the ancient weapons actually physically shattered continents. Didn’t VP just say they raised the sea level by 200m, so basically all the islands are mountaintops of the continents below?

74

u/BustANupp Thriller Bark Victim's Association May 23 '24

See: Lulusia. It’s presumed to be destroyed by an ancient weapon (the need of the mother flame to continue its use). And it completely wiped off an island which lead to sea levels rising. So apply it in wartime situations and you can quickly see a continent become decimated into islands over a century of use.

1

u/sack_of_potahtoes The Revolutionary Army May 23 '24

That part doesnt make any sense at all. So lulusia was completely erased and instead of the hole filling up water , it caused water level to rise.

23

u/BustANupp Thriller Bark Victim's Association May 23 '24

One piece world and our reality do not have to follow the same physics. We have geysers but no sky islands for instance.

12

u/igncom1 May 23 '24

Unless our own governments are keeping them secret!?!?!?

0

u/sack_of_potahtoes The Revolutionary Army May 23 '24

Why cant one piece world not have geysers?

11

u/AshynWraith May 24 '24

It would make some sense if the island's mass is moved under the sea (say if the weapon, by some wacky manga physics, melts rather than vaporizes it in such a way that it merges into the ocean floor). That way there's a net gain of submersed mass to account for the increased displacement.

2

u/tokyogodfather2 May 26 '24

Bro it’s called “displacement).” Look up u/the_idiotlord ‘s posts and theories from years ago, all of which came true this week. He commented in this thread too. Dudes a regular Vegapunk level genius.

1

u/sack_of_potahtoes The Revolutionary Army May 27 '24

Displacement is okay. The one above me mentioned it was wiped off. Which would ideally leave a hole. Displacement is still not entirely making sense. You have a given volume of water and drop an object in it the higher dense object displaces water. But in this case the land was already exising within the water. They didnt introduce something new to push the liquid levels higher

-9

u/Aetherflaer May 23 '24

The islands are getting hit to the ocean floor, not destroyed. The Mother Flame is the heart of Nika taken out by the person who had Law's fruit previously. That's why the mother flame can manipulate reality. It turns the island/ocean to rubber and smashes it into the sea floor, causing earthquakes and sea level rises. If you bring the rubbered islands back up, the sea level goes back down.

5

u/sack_of_potahtoes The Revolutionary Army May 23 '24

Lol. How confident you are in your theory as if you know wgat is happening

0

u/Aetherflaer May 23 '24

I never said it was 100 percent real Just my theory. Not sure what's with the down votes? 

16

u/Xplorer67 Cipher Pol May 23 '24

Uranus (the weapon presumed to have destroyed lulusia) and Pluton are both capable of destroying islands. I think Pluton was described to be capable of wiping out islands easily. This leads me to believe that they sunk entire landmasses using these weapons.

1

u/igncom1 May 23 '24

And then had giant sea creatures ravage anything close to the surface?

8

u/BanjoSpaceMan May 23 '24

But also it's not all known to us. It has been speculated for a long time. But this is flat out confirmation. Especially the continent thing. We now know the world sunk after a war, Joyboy was a pirate , Vegapunk has said twice now they there's no clear good or bad - the conflict could possibly paint Joyboy in bad light as well, we know the world government sunk the earth using their weapons.

This is huge. Even if huge for the chars..this is confirmed and huge for every theory out there. People can pretend they knew but they didn't for sure until now.

Like now I have a feeling, while we've always seen Luffy as a care free child at heart, he might actually have to make some adult thinking decisions when he learns the truth of Joyboy vs the government. That maybe his idea of everyone being lawless and free is not that simple and right. And that maybe enslaving people to islands, the polar opposite view, is not right either. He might actually have to think of a middle ground. Which would have to counter every fibre of Luffy's being for 1000+ chapters.

4

u/CabbageTheVoice May 23 '24

Vegapunk has said twice now they there's no clear good or bad

I also think there will be grey areas, but realistically, keeping the confirmation for who was right and who was wrong back for now, to me, is a clear necessity for Oda to still justify ANYONE fighting against the good guys in the current times.

For one thing, Vegapunk can't just spell out everything, because we need to keep some mystery for the rest of the series, but mostly, having the (objective) scientist refrain from calling out right and wrong helps put the decision on the individual and makes it more believable that there would still be people fighting for the WG.

Again, I could very well see (and hope) that the Joyboy faction isn't 100% in the right and the whole conflict has more grey areas to it, but narratively, of course the joyboy faction will turn out to be the good guys in the end. As an author you just can't state that outright to the whole world, or it wouldn't make sense that anyone doesn't oppose the WG from here onward.

my 2 cents.

5

u/agentdoubleohio May 23 '24

I’m very curious on Poseidon back than did. Because if they could control the seakings with the ocean rising I’d assume it would be a blood bath, but the seakings knew about joy boy, so Poseidon was probably on joy boys side.

5

u/lochnesslapras May 23 '24

Aside from that, THE ANCIENT WEAPONS SHATTERED CONTINENTS

Considering the water level was lower, Poseidon might have been weaker. Unless the ancient sea kings could walk on land or something

And Pluton must have had some long range ability to hit land too.

Also thinking about it. How does calling sea kings and ordering them around raise sea levels. Maybe Poseidon isn't linked to the sea level raise?

3

u/subwayeveryday May 23 '24

I agree, I think Oda will also want to reveal Imu before the anime gets to the Cobra death flashback, which would reveal Imu's sex due to them having voice lines

3

u/limasxgoesto0 May 23 '24

I also think if you've not been in online one piece communities, you might not have had exposure to the conclusions people have come to. It's good at least that this is spelled out to us because it still could've been different

u/Chileinsg May 23 '24

I think we are getting imu reveal soon

RemindMe! 7 years

u/Xmushroom May 23 '24

I dont remember anywhere saying the world old world is at the bottom of the ocean. Sure, there were some parts of it, but that didn't necessarily meant everything was there, it could've just sank. It was still a valid and popular theory until this chapter that everything was a big Pangea that shattered and divided into islands.

2

u/sack_of_potahtoes The Revolutionary Army May 23 '24

I want to see how soldiers will behave when they get to know WG might not be good guys after all

u/mo-rek May 23 '24

Super curious to see how this relates to the calm belt given the sea kings listen to Shirahoshi/poseidon. Did they exist 1000 years ago at the same size they do now? Did they help create the calm belt flanking the grand line and are they there to protect the sanctity of the grand line path that leads people on a journey to the end island that reveals the existence of the poneglyphs?

We've were told in zou that the grand line is designed to take people on a journey to the end island. Now that we know the waters rose 200 meters during the void century I'm curious if Imu is trying to drown it because it seems to have been created intentionally to show any 'pirates' who manage to complete the journey a glimpse into the past via the poneglyphs and tracking down Laugh tale. The ancient kingdom's advanced tech was so far beyond vegapunk it seems reasonable to conclude the grand line was constructed with purpose (like how you need a log pose to navigate the wonky magnetic fields) so what did they try to do that the 20 kingdoms formed a coalition to defeat?

This chapter is certainly big news! And I love how it raises even more questions than answers ahahaha

2

u/RevanchistVakarian May 23 '24

Still waiting on where all this extra water comes from...

5

u/Xplorer67 Cipher Pol May 23 '24

You mean in the void century? They said Continents literally sunk. That in itself would displace Megatons of water

u/Kuro013 May 23 '24

Real soon could mean a couple years though lol.

u/RainyEuphoria Scholars of Ohara May 24 '24

people love to analyze and theorize but when their theories get confirmed they throw sht to the author about the pacing, smh.

u/hhmmmm May 24 '24

shattering continents isn't the same as sinking them.

u/links_pajamas May 25 '24

Imu reveal!!! 🙏🙏🙏

u/DrakeSparda May 23 '24

I dont even think the ancient weapons causing the world to flood is that ground breaking knowledge for us either. We have been speculating since we found out about them that we thought they broke the world somehow. The most prevelant was a pangea type thing, instead of a Noah Ark. Still cool to get a confirmation that its more of flooding rather than like using giants to move continents.
