Leave it to Slangstream to force a joke into a tragic situation. Tasteless fucks.
you know,this was in the other translation as well(well,in whatever version of english they used)so i think it's most probably a sick joke used by oda himself
also,while the rio poneglyph are a big reveal and seem to be a necessity for reaching one piece,i really doubt that's all it would take.i mean,we have already seen throughout the series the lack of any navigational devices,unstable currents,crazy weather and other just weird things in grand line.just magnify all of that,and there's no need to even wonder why raftel is so reclusive.also,pretty sure to find the intersection points,you have to map the 4 points,which would most probably require nami's skills.
also,kaidou has been strongly suggested to be on wano,which would make wano the destination of the ultimate showdown.kinda thought that this would be possibility,and i think even now it's possible that kaido is right now not on the island/or that the fight with him doesn't take place on wano,still the idea changes everything.with an emperor to defeat,i don't think as much would be given to showcase wano(feudal japan's)culture and landscape.not to mention it speeds up the deadline for kaidou's defeat.
btw,nice chapter.pretty amazing that we are finally getting the first hints on the end goal of one piece,almost 19 years after the series started!pretty cool fact to shove down people to tell them how amazing OP is
