The Great New World Discussion Thread

I'm going to reiterate my longshot, pie in the sky, years old wildcard guess that the Yggdrasil/World Tree we know is there somewhere is secretly an Ancient Kingdom-era space elevator through which we'll wrap up a lot of moon-related longterm mysteries, including but not limited to Enel's return.

This is based on little more than the World Tree/space elevator twist was cool in one of the Xenoblades, and we have to do the moon stuff sometime, so why not here?

Looking forward to whatever Oda does instead.

What do you guys think about the possibility of Luffy losing his fruit?

With all the focus on making haki the most important power (righfully so) and BB's ability to cancel and steal devil fruits, it seems like things are set up for Luffy vs BB to be a haki vs devil fruit kind of fight.

Aside from that, it would be good way for Luffy to break out of the joyboy/nika fate chains.

New World Local Olympics. The best characterization, interactions, and overall well written supporting characters outside of the crew. I'll try to keep it to the main ones.

PH - Giant Kids/Momo/Kin/G-5/Law
Dressrosa - Tontatta/Kyros/Rebecca/Fleet Captains/Sabo/Bellamy
Zou - Scabbards/Pedro/Wanda/Carrot
WCI - Bege/Puddin/Jinbe/Germa
Wano - Scabbards/Hyo/Tama/Momo/Yamato
Egghead - Stella/satellites/Sentomaru/Stussy

Heh, I just realized something funny. Rocky Port in Fullalead is probably named after Rocks D. Xebec, who founded his crew there.

Another new arc and i'm waiting for the typical fictional creatures to be used - Lion, T-Rex, Gorilla, Pig (Oda paying respect to Toriyama with a Oolong type design), Bear (panda, grizzly, polar).

If Oda wanted to, he could start the primates or if he wants to stick to tail less ones - apes. The way he's done things, he could put them all under Human Human if he wanted to.
