@MarkSmith:

lol
well sanji is arguably not much different than his brothers. And his sibling , ichiji with raid suit, was rekt by katakuri easily

Sanji without raid suit and without "enhancement drugs" is weaker than Niji with raid suit and drugs.
So, Niji has two big power ups which might still come for Sanji.

I'm not convinced, that Sanji took the drugs as a child.
In the flash back they even asked the question, if Sanji is taking them.

In my opinion with drugs (the bone stuff) and raid suit, Sanji might soon become part of the big three again.
With both upgrades he would be stonger than Jinbei.

Maybe Im wrong, but if I compare the two pictures of BM's ship the the other ship positions don't look identical. Did it turn and shoot randomly their own ships?

Am I wrong or are the soldiers saying, that the cylinder is empty?

This sneeky awesome Brook, how handy is his special ability.
I would bet money, that the rubbing is in his head.

So, Big Mom doesn't even know, what he is up to and likes him

@Dr.:

The monsters in the Florian Triangle aren't ever gonna be revealed. Their role is that of the classic ending trope typical of thriller movies where is it revealed that the TRUE menace is still out there or it wasn't what it was thought during the movie. After they part from Thriller Bark is it finally confirmed that the main cause of the disappearance of ships wasn't Thriller Bark itself, but those big ass creatures which Oda goes just as far as giving them a vague description without revealing how they look:

"It is fortunate that the white mist hangs over today, as well…. concealing the sea's bizarre face with a white veil". I don't know how the fandom reacted to this since i didn't read forums back then, but to me this is pretty scary. In that page you can see them compared to Thriller Bark which has the size of an island, they are waaaay bigger than Oars. And revealing them would be just as revealing and ruin the mystery of the Bermuda's triangle in real world.

The pictures are showing fog, shadows and light on top of the shadows. Pretty much what you would expect if there are more giant beasts.

I think the basis of the florian triangle theorie is, that the red line is man (devil fruit) made.
If so, it might have been to reduce the amount of "beasts" / "sea kings" someone had to fight. As I mentioned earlier, huge beasts like that are weak if not protected and in small numbers. So if someone was able to separate Zunisha and a couple of others the "ancient weapon" could have been defeated.
This theory would explain the red line, as well as explain the fog with shadows and beasty eyes in the florian triangle…

Oh, and I would like to see the red line be destroyed anyway, for Laboon.

@Count:

I didn't mean to say that other series did their final arcs completely right lol. But One Piece is looking much more balanced than them overall.

Like Dragon Ball without the Z

@KageKageKing:

Zunish and the Sea Kings aren't invincible. We see what 4 ships can do to Zunisha's leg and we often see those Sea Kings getting one punch man and being easily decapitated all the time.

Sure they are not invincible, but imagine them with support or in numbers. They are only easy targets if they are unprotected alone or in small numbers.

@Count:

Also, I doubt that the Ancient Weapons are going to be that broken without some of buffers. And even then, Oda finds a way to the plot convenient when it needs to. They will most likely be given to three respective final factions (Straw Hats, Blackbeard Pirates, and the World Government), so it will be balanced.

It's a shonen manga, and they always end with a huge war. And One Piece's pacing as of late likes to cram so many events in a day or two that it might be like how Naruto's endgame pacing was shudders.

In other shonen the heros also get huge overpower in the end. Naruto became kind of a god. I don't want a luffy or others to be that strong to one shot zunisha.

Hmm, did anyone consider, the story to end without a massive huge final war?

Since the ancient weapons are so powerful, I would prefer smaller skirmishes.

With Shirahoshi, your opponent can no longer travel the sea.
Momonosuke (if he is a weapon) with one elephant makes is nearly impossible to have any defensive structures on land. He might also have further elephants in the florian triangle.
Also both can transport whole armies.

A fight like that sounds neither fair nor fun.

@HacheBe:

Capone is the most likely culprit in my mind. Maybe BB but that would seem rather out of the blue.

Why not both? Big Moms Yonko level power seems to come from a huge number of forced underlings.
Capones "life force" for example seems to be in puddings personal potato thing. I guess he and Jimbe are not the only ones who would like to escape Big Mom grip.
Add the number of prisoners and maybe germa, Big Mom might not lose the fight, but would be significantly weakened.

Like in marine fort somebody (Capone) can unite all the rebells and prisoners, like Buggy, to become a big name.

After their escape Big Mom is ready to be picked. With all those devil fruits Black Beard is not out of the picture. The marines might also be interested in cleaning up.

@KageKageKing:

Reminding that Moria didn't had an army of zombies before meeting Hogback.

I'm not talking about an army of zombies, just shadows. With more shadows in his body his power increases.
I expect he has stored them in his body or somewhere close to pull them in, for each fight.
He must have done something before he met Hogback.

@Jonke:

but doesnt moria resemble the traumatized maniac, a good person with moral values turned evil? i rather see him as a well-trained strong fighter who didnt even use the evil possibilities of his devil fruit (creating a shadow-fighter requires banishing someone into darkness) and cared a lot for his crew. the kaido incident broke him and indirectly turned him into a fat-ass who lets others work for him. onepiece.wikia: "Though he once claimed that he would rely on his own powers to achieve his goals, he is incredibly lazy; his motto is "relying upon others for one's own objective" and his favorite phrase is "You do it!!"

Wouldn’t he have had to rely on his own power before? With the shadows in his body, he would have to fight the enemy himself.
Just with Hogbacks arrival he was able to decentralize the shadows and therefore also the impact of losing a single fight.

Shadow Moria was a kick ass pirate who was able to fight on the level of Kaido.
I expect, he had some high level shadows at that time. After his defeat he is not even on commander level, till he is able to rebuild his shadows army to absorb.
With a reduced army even the back than strawhats were able to beat him.
Right now, he is weak, but has pretty much no limit to his power level. He just needs to rebuild his shadows.

With Big Mom it might be similar, she might be able to take some life force into herself.
With the life force she would also get some of the abilities of the owners.
This would explain her size and why she is so big in comparison to the rest.

In this case, Big Mom would no longer be Yonko level if she would get partially beaten.

With Brook being able to release a lot of the soles, they might be able to weaken her for the mass of pirates to take her down.
In this case, Big Mom would no longer be Yonko level without anybody being influential enough to take her place.

That could lead to some Buggy time

@Count:

It's based on how Sanji and his siblings were genetically altered to have exoskeletons during the flashback in the latest chapter. Despite Sanji being the only one to not exhibit advanced physicals and even being called a normal humam by a doctor, as well as the fact that all of his strength thus far comes from normal human effort, people theorize that this may just be due to Sanji being a late bloomer and that he will get an exoskeleton as a power-up this arc.

I'm not 100% sure about the translation, because at mangastream they wrote "outer skeleton". I'm not a native speaker, but isn't an exoskeleton external, like with a bug?
"outer skeletons" could also refer to a multi layer skeleton or a second one under the skin or am I wrong?
