The Elder Stars are secretly huge Luffy fans abd have just started their shrine to him.

@Kaido:
Guys what if the world is actually two straw hat planets fused together, with the Red Line being the hats' rims?
GAHAHAHHAHAHAAA!!! Oh god the chuckle I had.
It has already begun…
- Everyone is secretly a D
- Everything is secretly hats
Oda's amazing foreshadowing X-D
-
So… Someone pointed out on Reddit that the wall Enel looks at in chapter 470 depicts a ship which may resemble an upside-down strawhat.
I'm pretty certain that the mural depicts a hollow spherical object (look at the upper half) - maybe the moon itself - inside which resides the lost city where Enel found the little soldiers.
Would be goofy as hell if the giant strw hat is actually a flying saucer, of course

Such genius. I'm turning this one into a sig
-
the trivia reminded me of those of Impel Down. And since it is one of my favourite arc I was very happy with the chapter. All those old character reunion and their interaction was great fanservice
I wouldn't mind it during 7 days but I suppose it will be interrupted by the revolutionaries. The fact that we saw some slave abuse also hinted that way
-
I'm impressed that people are cool and collected about that last page. My soul is in peace.

I think the main reason is that even though this reveal has a legitimate chance to fall into all kinds of "chosen of prophecy" pitfalls, it's at least probably going to be very interesting and unique.
I mean, it's hat (that's probably too big to fit on the average person) that according to Doflamingo has to power and/or history to affect the entire world. How could anyone not want to learn more?
! …. Or maybe we're all just fanboys
-
Great chapter for all the fun interactions and the huge secret at the end.
Loved that oda didnt waste time with the dark underbelly of Mariejois.
Charloss is a looming issue for the reverie and shouldn't go unnoticed.
Nice to see ya doffy and all but WHAT?!?! is that last page and who is the person sneaking around? -
Good chapter. Is it just me or is that the fake Zoro that gotten beat up on the cover page?
Also are we sure that a very tall crown on that shadowy figure? I'm wondering if it could be one of those really tall abbot hats. -
Loved your reaction to the hat, LJSR. I'm looking forward to your future Reverie vids.
There is just one question remaining:
Is it a Squaer or is it a Squeddy?
-
Inhiriting Roger's will is not just doing piracy and going out to look for the One Piece. It's about a specific mindset towards life and probably fulfilling the will of the D.
and wearing the right hat, apparently.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing
-
and wearing the right hat, apparently.
Up until now, that's only the symbolism, the visual representation of a will… although, of course, the story can go in any direction.

Sorry, you walked right in to that one. It was the first thing I thought about when I read your post X-DThat wasnt destiny. That was another crewmate doing their job and helping their captain. Biiiiiig difference.

Another great Cover page from my man Orlumbus. I've been in the military and Orlumbus beating up a crew member just because he found a speck of dust is hilarious. He demands perfection, and his front page covers are doing wonders for his character
-
Very pleased that Ryuboshi is getting screentime away from Manboshi. During the FI arc, they nearly always shared the same panel, and I didn't feel too much difference in their characters. Now we can see that the second son can be just as observant and serious as the Fukaboshi. Also it shows Manboshi is very carefree and outgoing.
-
Cool to see the Barto Clu- I mean, royal families that are friendly with Luffy. They'll definitely put up a resistance to whatever will happen. They might not be 1st or 2nd tier fighters, but they can more than hold their own.
-
Love how Oda included the slavery scene. So simple yet ethically and morally striking.
All in all I really liked this chapter, and not just because of the fanservice!

I can buy the hat going from Roger to Luffy through Shanks being symbolic. It's a bit too heavy handed, maybe i'd liked more seeing a similar moment between roger and shanks involving a different memento. Being it the way it is instead places WAY too much importance on the hat itself, which became a relic of this mythological figure that is the Pirate King. The only redeeming aspect about it was that it wasn't recognized as Roger's hat at any point, by anyone. So you could argue that Luffy was in the end the only one giving it importance, without even knowing where it came from.
But you see now how this last page threw that out of the window for good. -
Tekking 101 weighs in on this with a near hour long review.
-
Mah, that was a nice chapter. Lots of "Pro-Luffy" people at the reverie…
I saw, in my mind, the next hell going lose after this idiotic mermaid fanatic noble got screentime... I am sue this will lead to some kind of an uproar.That strawhat at the end and Doffies statement. I wonder what's that all about?!
-
@RJ:

I think the scene when Luffy is about to die in Loguetown is kinda emblematic for how someone is willing to interpret this series. Some will understand that Dragon saved Luffy, others can understand that destiny itself saved Luffy. Nobody will ever know unless we get better insight into what happened.
Regardless, there're many things that point towards Luffy being some kind of chosen one. For example, Poseidon was reborn in his generation after who knows how many centuries; Luffy is developing the ability to hear the voice of all things; the subtext of the series paints Luffy as this messiah whose luck is outstanding; his lineage is the antithesis of the current gods of the world. Also, everything and everyone that are necessary in the journay to become Pirate King gather around Luffy as if destiny were bringing them towards him. Honestly, these straw hats are the least meaningful things in the big picture, performing more the role of symbols than causes or anything else.
That's not to say that Luffy is one lucky dude that's randomly in that position. This is like the egg and chicken dilemma. Luffy seems to have this destiny surrounding him, but only because he fulfills the prerequisites in spirit. He embodies the concept of the Pirate King.

Right now, I'd say that Oda is trying to say that "HEY, DO YOU SEE HOW LUFFY STANDS UP FOR SOME VALUES?? WELL, THERE WAS ANOTHER GUY IN THE PAST THAT HAD THE SAME MENTALITY AS HIM!! LOOK AT THE STRAW HATS!!"
-
That s what I think about the last two pages:
The unknown character is carrying two bounties: the one of Rufy and the one of another Pirate. These two are the targets of his plan.
In the freezed room lives a person/monster who is delegate to go after/kill one or both of those two charachters.
The person/monster left the strawhat, so it choosed to go after Luffy.After all, of that Hat is the real treasure, Dofla would have had some reaction when he saw Rufy wearign one.

This is exactly how I feel about Luffy. He's definitely got quite a bit of destiny going for him, but it's always felt to me like the destiny is a result of his character, not the cause of it. That's mainly thanks to Whitebeard's words to Blackbeard on Marineford - by all indications, Blackbeard could have very well been the one to inherit Roger's will, but his actions put him on another path. And it's Luffy's actions that have contributed to his destiny - Shanks wasn't a prophet who proclaimed that Luffy would have Roger's will without actually personally knowing Luffy; he passed on his and Roger's hat after Luffy gave him the impression that he would make good on his own proclamation to become a great pirate. Another example would be Pedro's "dawn of the world" shtick - he didn't believe the Straw Hats to be its heralders at first sight, he started believing that after they had saved his people. Quite a bit different from, say, Naruto and Sasuke being literal reincarnations or Anakin Skywalker being proclaimed as the Chosen One because he was really strong in the Force.

By the way for those who don't get it, Wapol calling someone a Hippo is because the japanese term is Kaba that is similar to Baka.

I agree with your thoughts, but Pedro also believes in Luffy because Luffy could hear Zunisha (just like Roger), so there's a little bit of "being strong in the Force" in the mix.
-

Ah yes I had forgot. The ability to hear voices is interesting because it really does seem like a power one just has rather than gains.
-
Gave the chapter of couple of re-reads (rare for me), god the Nami face syndrome is bad lmao. Vivi had one panel where she looked perfectly fine but apart from that…
It's unfortunate so many people who are advent readers seem to forget that the reason they'res so many of trivia cutaways this chapter, is because a lot of these stories are roughly 15 years old. The casual reader of One Piece and especially the kids who read currently but weren't even born aren't going to remember every little detail, and they're not going to re-read hundreds of chapters just for context.
Still pretty mixed about the Strawhat because of where that could potentially lead the story during the endgame, sorta reeks of the prophecy cliche. I hope it isn't an ancient weapon, poneglyph, or the a key to the One Piece, that would just be lame.
-

He also had a hippo pet in the past if I remember correctly. It probably had a name.
I wonder if Shirahoshi can summon the sea kings at the holy land somehow lol . Are they big enough to tower over the red line? I doubt it.
Carlos better not put her in real danger.–- Update From New Post Merge ---

I doubt it is a key, as Roger was willing to tell White beard how to get to raftel. I think from that sentence and his infamous speech, anyone who can reach raftle can find ONE PIECE. Otherwise there wouldn't be any competition there, and only shanks had a real chance of getting it.
I wonder if shanks and buggy already been to raftle before.
-
Shirahoshi and Rebecca both have backstories, philosophies and motivations. Flat characters have no depth whatsoever.
Heck, Rebecca is probably a better warrior than Vivi, actually having Haki and actual training.
And Shirahoshi can destroy the world.
Rebecca would probably do a better job at surviving the tournament compared to Vivi but I wouldn't say vivi is much worse. For whatever actual training vs learning on the fly she made it up to the top 10 of her 5000 large army based on competence AND fighting power, and yeah relatively speaking those guys are especially chumps now but she still had good reflexes, hand eye coordination and agility. If crocodile wasn't a logia she would have decapitated him, and she dealt with Mr. 7 and Miss fathers day pretty easily. I think she may be a little stronger now just from maturing or whatever and we see her introduced by doing a flip on the bird's nest so I think she's been somewhat physically active or whatever.
It's actually funny but Rebecca with a more aggressive mindset could have probably been Mrs. Valentine's rank easily if she was in the BW.
-

His name was Robson.

Big Straw Hat is big.
Nice to see many familiar old faces.
-
This post is deleted!
-
Joyboy's crown, maybe?
I would like that. And the hat of Luffy/Roger/Shanks is a tribute to him. We don't know who made the hat, Roger probably inherited it too.
-
So Ou-lumbus has a Ko-lumbus after all… Probably not going to play a huge role, but that's still a rather endearing aspect to the big guy.
"Mary Geoise" is going to take some getting used to, but I can deal with it easily enough. Very curious that the "motorized walkway" thing is powered with slave labor... Based on the technological level of the world we've seen (to say nothing of the future-tech Vegapunk is capable of coming up with), I find it hard to believe that such a thing couldn't be done perfectly well - certainly cheaper and more efficiently - with basic machinery, which makes me think the continued use of slaves is either simple ignorance or a stubborn adherence to Celestial Dragon "traditions".
I'm wondering whether Charloss is going to cause problems. With the Reverie attendees being royalty and their corresponding entourages, I find it hard to believe that he could get away with trying to claim or buy Shirahoshi the way he did back on Sabaody, but I don't really trust a World Noble NOT to treat even a government-recognized princess as a lesser being that he can do with as he wishes. Wouldn't be too averse to seeing him get his face punched in again...
I love the fact that Shirahoshi is basically going "Is that a forest?!" to every tree she comes across now, playing up the childish wonder aspect of her first trip to the surface. Similarly, it's really nice to see her making friends with Vivi and Rebecca. Not going to get into the whole "They all look the same! Attack of the Nami-Clones!" discussion because I find it more than a little obnoxious, but I for one am enjoying seeing some of the various people the Strawhats have dealt with over disparate story arcs starting to interact with one another.
Since Sai is present, I wonder if Baby 5 is around. Possibly not, given that she may be wanted due to her past connection to Doflamingo, but I wouldn't mind her jumping in at some point should things get hairy. Maybe she's hiding in the weapons locker, pretending to be one of the Kano Kingdom guards' armaments...
Curious how much if anything Wapol remembers about Vivi's ties to the Strawhats. He's obviously being antagonistic towards her, but I'm not entirely sure if he's simply carrying on his petty grudge with regards to Cobra chewing him out in the past, or whether it's directly in relation to the events of Drum Island, where the two of them basically missed each other save for a single, albeit brief, encounter on the Going Merry. After a recent reread, I've been under the impression that he seemed to have recognized her during that encounter, and the way the dialog flowed between the two of them this chapter feels like it backs that view up, which makes him a fairly big issue should he choose to "out" Vivi as someone who actually traveled with the Strawhats rather than the innocent beneficiary of their actions in Alabasta. Even more so when combined with whatever Smoker and Tashigi, and possibly Hina, personally witnessed and reported about the incident. While she (and Rebecca, Shirahoshi, Sai, the Tontattas, Dalton/Kureha, etc.) aren't being especially subtle about their adoration for Luffy et al., Vivi in particular seems like a prime target for the WG to try to make an example out of...especially given that they will probably be looking to apply pressure to Cobra in the near future to make sure he keeps his mouth shut...
As for THE HAT, I'm leaning toward it being a historical piece with its significance being tied to its past owner and their actions, rather than being some mystical artifact of great power. I certainly don't think it's the "National Treasure", since what little we see of the facility shows far too lax security for an object of that kind of import, but it might be related to someone who was once involved with it. Though people have been saying it and the room are covered in frost, it looks more like dust to me (no icicles, for one), leading me to think it's been neglected and forgotten about, rather than locked in a maximum security vault. I would expect it to be buried beneath a heavily manned fortress surrounded by armed guards if it were really as big as the Celestial Dragons' Nation Treasure, rather than stuffed in an old, musty storeroom with nary a soul in sight. The figure looking at it seems normal-sized, based on the size of the wanted posters they are carrying, so unless they're looking at an image on a huge wall monitor, that gives an idea of scale for the object itself. Also kind of looks like s/he is wearing a veil of some sort, but beyond that there's very little to go on, so I'm not going to speculate any more on those matters right now.
Overall, a very interesting chapter. The rest of the Reverie arc is shaping up to be fairly wild, depending which (and how many) of the plot threads in play get pulled on...
-
This chapter was completely necessary. If Oda would just have skipped all of these characters meeting, the fan complaints would have been unbearable. For a long time fan, it was pretty cool to see all these characters from different arcs throughout the story showing up and interacting with each other. I guess you also hate chapters that just show old characters reacting to new bounty posters?
The readers need to see them make this connection, because once the Reverie starts, they're going to form a coalition.
Shirahoshi turning down the suitors: The reprimand from her brother will cause her to try to act more "diplomatic" the next time, which will wind up getting her kidnapped by Charloss.
-
The hat is not the point…it looks more like a memorial. But it also looks like a coffin underneeth the hat. So they preserved a body from past times
-
So my theory about the national treasure is that it takes the shape of an item that is currently having the momentum of fate to become a ruler (is this case the pirate king).
So it can change it appearance but is always the same size.
I think it just changed to the strawhat a short time ago and that's why the guy got the bounty posters, to see if it's the same as Luffy's hat.
My other prediction is that the second bounty poster is that of Roger while he was still wearing the hat.If you can get yout hands on this item your own fate would improve till the time the national treasure changed again.
-
I have read so many "theories" about what the strawhat is that I have no idea what will happen anymore.:blink:
I will be pretty pissed if Oda doesn't address what the national treasure is within this mini reverie arc & decide to address it 100 chapters later.lolI seen some people mentioning that the other bounty poster could be Blackbeard one. Since he is the dark-strawhat, it does make some sense.
Or it could be a new character. -

Then why should it be a 'treasure' for them if it remains in the possession of others and changes hand?

-
When I saw the shadow with 2 bounty posters with one being Luffy's AND a huge strawhat in the last panel, I thought the other poster had to be either Roger's bounty or who ever wore the huge hat.
Maybe this huge hat belonged to JoyBoy. The only dude we know from like 800-900 yrs ago. -
Or could just be the bounty of luffy's father, most wanted man in the world, D. ragon. Since revos are here, the family that shakes the world right now.
-
Until the day Oda proves me wrong, I'll still stand behind my idea that both the strawhat and the letter D are mementos of the race that came from outer space to colonize the planet. Their descendants use the two to remember where their roots lie: not here, on the ground, but up there in the sky. The D as the half moon; the strawhat as the soucer that brought the first aliens on the planet.
-
i still think that the tresure is not the hat
that entire room is the treasure..there several alcoves in that room and we only saw one..it would be strange for all of those identical alcoves to be completely empty and the entire vault to be just for that strawhat, even if it's big.
an option, don't know how feasible..that room is a kind of "prediction" room that the celestial dragons have used to obtain and mantain their power…in those alcoves there are several "things" that like a tapestry predicting the future, warn the celestial dragons of future threats and obstacles to their dominance...now reading through this collection, they are at the point of the strawhat and they didn't understand what the indication was..but now that luffy got that incredible bounty, they connected the dots, and the guy/gal in the chapter went down to the "vault" to compare the luffy's strawhat with the image
that being said, it's a really faulty theory since it would not explain how the ope ope no mi would allow doflamingo to take control of it..but it's the best i got :P
p.s. also,didn't roger had a strawhat way before going anywhere near the void century? i think he had one when he recluted rayleigh@Roronoa:

-
Great seeing Strawhat allies come together, but that horndog celestial dragon is gonna screw it up. I'm almost afraid to see more of Mary Geoise. Eventually, the guests will see some messed up stuff. Interested to see how the non-Strawhat allies react to it as well as Vivi & company.
But, I can't wait to see how the convention all works like whether any CDs or Gorosei participate. Will the main discussion take place in Hall H and will see any exclusive clips from the upcoming season? Probably be at least twenty Deadpools walking around.
-
There is so little we know about the hat I can't even feel like theorizing about it. I mean, even to make dumb absurd theories you need to have a minimum grasp of what you are talking about…
But I would like to at least point out that hat is probably not the only thing there:
In this image, we can see there are at least six more "spaces on the wall" (architecture is not my passion) besides the one with the strawhat. -

It's a bit convenient that the one with the strawhat happen to have light(?) on it. I guess Oda need to draw the attention of the reader somehow.

I'm starting to think Mary Geoise is built on top of the remnant of the ancient kingdom.
This mysterious area could be part of the ancient kingdom that was enclosed off for obvious reason. -
Oddly enough i feel like we are halfway through the second half of One Piece now at this point. Does it feel like that for anyone else? I know we are closer to the end of the story but it still feels like we are YEARS away from the ending of this silly comic lol

Quite a bit different from, say, Naruto and Sasuke being literal reincarnations or Anakin Skywalker being proclaimed as the Chosen One because he was really strong in the Force.
I'm going to say something of which I know very little about, but I believe that the concept of destiny in chinese and japanese cultures is a little different from ours. It's a bit necessary that a leader or king shows signs that destiny supports his claims, and that doesn't feel like "cheating". I think it is in this sense that we should read the scene at Loguetown, as if the sky itself approved of Luffy.
As a western reader I can feel bothered by Luffuys luck sometimes, but his actions never felt like he wasn't giving his fullest to achieve his dreams.
-
Was the hat abnormally large or was that just perspective? If not, maybe Roger got his hands on it and replaced it with a fake or something and now suspicions are aroused that Luffy's signature sombrero isn't as innocuous as all that…it's actually the missing secret macguffin they never knew was lost/stolen.
-
Looking above it, you can even see some emblem(?)…
It's a bit convenient that the one with the strawhat happen to have light(?) on it.
If you you zoom in on the emblem, it looks like a mother/woman holding her baby or taking him out of his crib
The crown woman(if it is a woman) could be Luffy's mom holding his wanted poster and Dragon's :ninja:
But that emblem could also be a lady holding a Harp
!
Or a mermaid
!
More similarly!
It could also be just a redrawers mistake, but it is almost the same on the raw.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
A mermaid holding a baby is also plausible going by that visual.

After reading through it again i actually realised that that straw-hat is one of the many objects 'enshrined' there, but having a spotlight on it.
I am now absolutely sure that it is not the 'treasure' Doffy was talking about.
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
