First of all, you know how physically strong women look in real life, right?
You also know, that Oda draws many characters who have a bad personality as ugly?
You also know how Big Mom looked when she was younger, right?
You also know Odas sketches of the strawhats as 40 and 60 years olds, where you could see, how they would look like if something went wrong in their life? This would explain Big Moms look.
Last but not least, you know characters like Carrot, Smoothie, Yamato, Khalifa, Stussy, Tashigi, Kuina, Ulti, Belo Betty…

Why are you bodyshaming Big Mom tho?
If being obese is something women celebrate, than Big Mom is superhot!

It is no theory per se, but today I had an Moment of enlightment:

Gold Rogers death started the golden Age of pirates.
Edward Newgates death started the new Age of pirates.

God bless odas Genius.

Anybody else noticed miss monday, mr. 9 and their baby in the trailer?

Orochi is in secret Kaidous fourth disaster, the flood.

The blade luffy found will play a major role with his df awakening. Gomu gomu no giant katana!

!

Has anyone ever pointed out, that this was probably Zou?

Rewatched the drumm arc today and came to an idea. We know blackbeard was there and caused trouble. But why? He visited many other islands without rioting. We also know, that his body is special in some kind of way, stated by marc, so its possible for him to eat two, or more devil fruits. We also know, that he read the book about devil fruits. So I came to the idea, maybe he visited drumm because he knew about wapols devil fruit and as we know, wapol can fuse two persons if he eats them. (chess+marimo=chessimo) so maybe he forced wapol to eat him and somebody else, so he can have more devil fruit powers. The easiest explanation would be, that blackbeard had two brothers, triplets. Which would also explain his flag, but thats just a speculation.

I do not know when or which chapter I started reading translated chapters online, but it was on some MSN Group or something.
Probably around Water 7 or Enies Lobby, when I realised One Piece is more than just a random Shonen Manga (storywise).

@Hiso:

If Rommel Kingdom really is a London-themed place, then I think it's the place where Brook was working as a knight. When the Strawhats met him, he really had that british flair (tea, "politeness" and cane sword) and he never mentioned the name of the kingdom he came from

I think it is highly implied that brook comes from the island trois like that one slave who is a musician. It is located in the west blue, where brook is from and seems to be a music themed island.

So my theories after this chapter are that the Dinosaur in really X. Drake because of the Spike on his head, it looks like his After-Timeskip-Haircut.

My other, more important theory is, that 13 years ago there was a guy, probably a famous pirate who had a smiley as a logo who was killed by Dofla.
After this, Dofla decided to make the crossed out Smiley his logo, because the fact that he defeated this really strong guy would mold his reputation.

This guy had a son/Friend/Protege whatever. This was young Law.

Since this day, young Law wanted to kill Dofla. He sneaked into his Pirate Crew to investigate the easiest way for Revenge.
After he found out what he was looking for, he started his own Pirate Crew, with an altered smiley as his logo to honor his /father/fatherlike figure/friend.
