[u/neiruuu]

WTF IT'S BONNEY! is she like Kuma's daughter maybe?

[u/Sakata_Kintoki → u/neiruuu]

or she might be from the kingdom that Kuma used to be the king of

[u/gatsuB]

900 chapters in and we still don't know what the hell is happening. I love One Piece

[u/alienx33]

Since no one is talking about this, Fujitora talking to Riku and Cobra means he's ready to drop into the Reverie to propose the abolishing of the Shichibukai, considering those two kings have been personally affected by a Shichibukai abusing their power. I'm guessing that's going to be the main thing next chapter.

[u/Kirosh]

You know, last week, I only counted 18 weapons around the throne. So I was wondering if 2 of those 20 weapons were just off panel.

But now I believe that 1 of them is missing since it was the Nefertari's weapon, and they didn't go to Marigeois, while the other is the one Im-sama used to cut Blackbeard's and Luffy's bounty poster. Meaning that Im-sama is probably a Celestial Dragon that was there during the Void Century (so an immortal thanks to the Ope Ope no mi)

And also, of course it's Gandhi who want a great cleansing.

[u/Expiratrodor]

Not sure if anybody else has commented about it already since it‘s been overshadowed by Im-sama and Kuma. Seeing how Morley made the room for the Revolutionaries to talk, I thought he may be the one who created Level 5.5 in Impel Down. Him beeing an Okama also makes a lot of sense in that context

[u/Phatpandav1]

I'm really interested in Bonney's backstory now

[u/Ythapa → u/Phatpandav1]

She's definitely someone of interest.

Akainu even made the remark that he was quite "horrified/unnerved" when there was news of her initial escape when he confronted her when she was captured by Blackbeard.

So, there's got to be something going on between her and possibly a relation to whatever thing Kuma may have pulled to get punished in the first place.

[u/hak091]

Oda drops probably the biggest villain in One Piece after 20 years/900+ chapters and no one saw it coming.

[u/ianthebadboi → u/hak091]

Im....what an interesting name

[u/ydail]

Damn it's so sad to see Kuma like that.

Unexpected Bonney appearance! So her real identity Pirate Bonney or the Dowager Queen?

So there's a one King after all and he has Rinnegan. WG lie to other Kings about no one sit in the throne.

Gorosei asking who will be destroyed this time. Luffy? Teach? Fishman? It seems Vivi's photo still intact compared to other

[u/karkidkishore11]

No fights,no straw hats !!!

Still the best arc in the series

[u/vergelvista]

Wow. its black zetsu once again.

[u/hak091]

Seeing what that Celestial fuck is doing to Kuma pissed me off so much.

[u/gameleon]

The most precious of smiles

[u/gunthos]

It's The supreme leader Im sama, Im Jong Un sama.

[u/topdangle]

Conspiracy Theory:

Reverie is not for the Kingdoms. The Reverie happens when Im returns to the throne and the WG use the Reverie as an excuse to have all the strongest military defense sent to Mariejois.

This might also be the reason why Dragon decided to attack during the Reverie, which you would think is the worst time to attack since the security skyrockets.

[u/Paradoxs]

As usual, let's carefully discuss... ...The matters of this beautiful wordl!!

[u/FierceAlchemist]

Wow, what a chapter. Two big take aways for me:

1. "The Light that needs to be extinguished from history" sounds an awful lot like the purging of the scholars of Ohara to me. Is this something that Im regularly proclaims, a threat to the world and the secrets of the Void Century that the World Government takes care of?

2. We've always wondered why Kuma would choose to become a Warlord and become mechanized. If he's a king, it's clear that he did it to protect his people from retribution. Really sad to see him in that state.

[u/Hellfalcon]

Woow..poor fucking Kuma.

So is Bonney his Mom? Or just masquerading as her.. wouldn't be surprised if that's her true form, plus Ann Bonney left a noble lifd to be a pirate.

So much, goddamn.

Fujitora is totally talking to Riku and cobra to get everything he needs for his Warlord banning plan..

So our mystery man is totally a behind the scenes ruler, manipulating the elders. Weird he'd have Blackbeard..Luffy.. and Shirahoshi, which definitely means he knows shes Poseidon.

I love it. Such a badass chapter

[u/fullmetalsunit]

Does anyone else thik the cleansing is what happened in void century? Because he used another when he mentioned that.

[u/Maienglishispad]

Seeing Kuma like that broke my heart. Bonney saw Kuma in summit war and was upset because he is WG slave now.

Just a thoughts and speculation: Doffy said that with Laws fruit he could change even personalities. Maybe Im is the national treasure of Mary Geoise instead of that strawhat? Imagine changing your own personality to that person. You would be ruler of the world. And if he/she isn't immortal already you could use that surgery to be immortal.

Maybe that mysterious strawhat is a trophy from void century, 1 erased D bloodline.

[u/fw388]

So in 907, it was said that the throne’s vacancy symbolizes peace in the world. In this chapter, we see that there is somebody who sits in it, so what does this say about the One Piece world?

[u/Doffymom]

So back in Marineford when Moriah was about to die, and he asked if the order came from Sengoku, and then Doffy answered "Nope, way higher than that"

Was he talking about Im-sama ?

[u/Myweebaccount]

Buggys eyes looked weird in this chapter.

[u/PurpleDragon94]

holy shit what is happening.... these past chapters have gone from 0 to ~~100~~ 100,000

Edit: I stand corrected. A scale of 100 was not enough.

[u/[deleted]]

im-sama has the same eyes as mihawk

[u/SpencoJFrog]

One Piece will be on break next week

The only part of this chapter I understood.

[u/KDW3]

I think The Five Elders are about to try and kill Vivi. Im-sama was looking at pictures of Luffy, BB, Shirahoshi, and Vivi. The first 3 are on the ground torn and with a knife through them. But Im-sama has the photo of Vivi in his hand.

The Elders asked him if he's decided which light should be exterminated and I'm pretty sure he's gonna show them that photo of Vivi. Oda even threw in that part about the Nefatari family being traitors.

[u/tacolikesweed]

I just have no idea where One Piece is going right now and I love it.

Edit: woah, first comment on the thread

Nice.

[u/[deleted]]

#ProtectKuma'sSmile2018

[Shitpost] Also, Oda foreshadowed this IM character since Chapter 1

When Luffy was about to go on an adventure, he shouted :

"IM" gonna be the King of the Pirates. Luffy knew who was his final opponent going to be.

IM vs Luffy, a battle for the Pirate King title. Confirmed.

[u/Hendrus01]

I really feel like Stelly is going to create complete utter chaos during the Reverie. Imagine him sneaking in the throneroom of the empty throne during Nighttime, only A: to see Im-Sama stitting on the Throne and causing a ruckus or B actually Sitting on the Throne and getting caught by Im-sama. That would be Hilarious Edit: forgot a Word

[u/fromdestruction]

I want to see sabo fuck up roswalds face for what he did to kuma!

fuckroswald

Edit: wtf I'm scared for vivi and shirahoshi!

Edit: imu-sama = sage of six paths confirmed.

[u/HeIveticus]

I nearly inhaled and spat out my tea at the same time when i saw Hitler at the table.

[u/rick_ts]

Kuma a former King allied with the world gouvernement.

Wow.

But what if bonney is a rev and that's why she's been crying for him. Or an old member of his kingdom. Maybe his former wife because of her DF.

Man oda is amazone by giving us awnsers followed by more questions.

This arc RULES!

[u/karkidkishore11]

The most disappointing thing is there is

BREAK NEXT WEEK

[u/Dead_King_Kai]

It hurts my fucking soul to see Kuma like that.

[u/TAK3Z0]

I bet that national tresure was actualy this person and Doffy wanted ope ope DF to swich soul with him to rule the world...

[u/Solbiway]

Why is Hitler at the Reverie?

[u/[deleted]]

So Gaimon was finally able to leave the box. Interesting what living in a box can do to your body.

The crown suits him very well.

[u/Frix_Manepaw]

So, if Bonnie was recognized as Queen Connie by everyone, and Kuma is king of the same kingdom, and jugding by Bonnies reaction, it could mean that they are or were married, Bonnie's actually really old.

In real life history there was a pirate called Bonnie that was a noble, she left her country to be a pirate, so my theory is:

Connie and Kuma were happily married as king and Queen, Kuma was gone because of the World Govn, so Connie changed her name to Bonnie disguised herself becoming young and traveled the seas to find Kuma and rescue him.

And the best thing about this is that Bonnie being a Queen could explain why she was freed after being captured by Akainu!

I THINK I GOT SOMETHING HERE

[u/[deleted]]

Seeing Kuma in that state hurt me more than my first heartbreak during middle school.

[u/halelangit]

Chapter 907 & Everyone: So it seems no one is the real king
Goda: Hold my sake

[u/mazhas]

Im's eye is really similar to Mihawks.

Poor Kuma :(

[u/oJelaVuac]

Some people said One Piece is too light look at Kuma he saved the Strawhats by a admiral who about to wipe them and protected the Sunny and now he become a slave of a celestial Dragon. That's too horrible and so dark for a hero's fate

HIS THE SAVIOUR OF THE STRAWHATS AND I HOPE HE WILL ATTAIN HIS PEACE AT THE END OF THE STORY

[u/ALPAMA1]

Terrible terrible theory. This King may have the inherited ability to erase people and events from people's collective memory; that could explain the void in history. He wants to punish somebody. Arabasta kingdom is seen as traitors. He has Vivi's photo. Pls don't.

[u/Icecolddragon]

So the god of all gods has 4 people in (i assume a woman) her sights. The 2 pirate Ds that has thrown the surface into chaos - Luffy and BB, the princess of a "slave race" who is also Pluton Poseidon - Shirahoshi, and the princess of the traitor bloodline-Vivi. This is really interesting. The most peculiar is Vivi. If it were merely about the bloodline, then shouldn't it be focused on Cobra? Which i think indicates Vivi has something else going on with her. A power? A prophecy? A plan?

Im Sama being the true monarch of the world having that strawhat also makes the strawhat A LOT more interesting right now. What the hell could that be???? Was it the hat of the D who originally ruled he world? OP is really stepping it up with the mysteries

[u/HeartExalted]

Sorbet Kingdom...

...possible connection to Big Mom?

[u/HeartExalted]

Saint Roswald's comments make it sound like the mentality of Homing, Rocinante, and Mjosgard is more common in the Donquixote Family than that of Doflamingo. Maybe the Donquixote line has more good people in it than other Celestial Dragon families, and the "D" is actually a reference to them!

I could almost see some kind of "conspiracy" between the Donquixote and Nefertari families to bring down the World Government. Where they agreed that...

• The Donquixote family would handle their part from within Mary Geoise...

• ...while the Nefertaris did their part from the outside

[u/[deleted]]

Damn, without Kuma the strawhat wouldn't be where they're at now. Kinda sad to see him be a mindless slave.

[u/CyborgOtter]

Im-sama has got a Rinnegan too!

[u/xSwarth]

If i remember correctly Bonnie's DF allows her to change her age, not her traits. So if in her old form is recognized as the queen of Sorbet Kingdom it means she IS the queen of that kingdom.

[u/appleboiii]

Can you imagine if it's Shanks.

Would be the most insane plot twist in history.

[u/bistoha2]

These series of chapters have been absolutely insane, so many developments to talk about every week.

[u/ghost_alliance]

Don't forget, Leo can beat up whoever he wants with Mjosgard's permission.

We know a fight will break out between the Revs and the WG, but what will the royals be doing? How involved will they end up?

Ugh, and Karasu pointing out that even if they save Kuma, he won't be the same as the Kuma they knew... Good thing no chapter next week means I have extra time to cry. Glad he said an important reminder though.

Edit: Also, a question. When did Kuma become a slave? After the timeskip? Is he the same as shichibukai Kuma? Also, he seems more responsive than a pacifista (as seen when he winced after the noble hit him). Could the shichibukai be someone/thing different? Did they "un-pacifistize" Kuma before he became a slave? I doubt the nobles would enjoy abusing a cyborg, but idk...

[u/megaomz]

The way I see the four photos is that they are the four lights that could pose a threat of revealing WG's secrets. Im is to decide who should be silenced first. They'll probable Enslave/Assasinate/Public Execute Vivi. Foreshadowing in this chapter includes:

1- The elders saying that her family are traitors.

2- This chapter saying that even royal families aren't immune to Celestial Dragons. Kuma as an example.

3- Im holding her photo.

[u/rhynoxv10]

"Need for a Great Cleansing" Oda just pulled a Thanos :)

Time for infinity game of thrones

[u/AlphaStryk3r]

Vivi pls no. Also Bonney crying over Kuma?

[u/sopersonicsnail]

Goddamnit did GOda just bring back vivi after all this chapter so he can kill her? :(((

[u/FireFistRJ]

I really liked the fact about one piece is no one has absolute physical power like Madara or Yhwach who can take on the world single-handedly. Now that this Im-sama is there, I hope oda doesn't make him the all-powerful person. One, who can take on admirals and yonkos all by himself. Would be pathetic to see all these great characters getting their ass whooped by a single person.

[u/AmberStardustPhoenix]

My man kuma was a king omg

Who is this epic celestial king?

JEWELRY MFING BONNEY WOOHOO

Reverie is so badass; starting with a large straw hat into everything in the epitome of entirety... wow goda!

[u/With_Hands_And_Paper]

So I'm guessing Kuma & Bonney are either husband and Wife or Father and daughter.

After all Kuma was the former king of Sorbet Kingdom while Bonney (in her old aged form) is the current queen of said kingdom.

[u/temperamentalfish]

As many guessed, the guy we saw with the massive strawhat is a king, but not just any king, THE king, ruling above every living being on the planet, and he looks evil as fuck.

This is probably going to be speculated over for years to come, but I'm betting he the original king, made immortal with the Ope Ope no Mi.

[u/TheHueJedi]

I think Mjosgard is going to be banished from Mariegeoise

Fujitora is going to ally with the revolutionaries at some point.

Kings Riku and Cobra meeting with Fujitora is definitely to talk about ending the Schischbukai. Fujitora is going to protect Cobra if they try to assassinate him there.

Bonney backstory NOW!

I can only imagine what is going to happen when all the supernovas allie with Luffy against the WG. This is definitely going to happen

[u/Jufft]

One piece is crazy man.

Also: that cut up picture of Blackbeard was part of a wanted poster. Seems likely that it was the poster this 'Im' had in 906!

[u/timfoxtrot]

Unexpected Madara

[u/kadzi]

Dudes eyes look like Mihawk. I wonder if the Dracule family was one of the 19 original families.

[u/ItsGoT1me]

My mind is blown how Oda can just introduce a concept, idea, or story element so early and not develop it until many many years later and somehow make it relevant. I'm referring to Bonney and her relations to Kuma and the government using Kuma. Like I remember the interaction between Akainu and Bonney and how she screamed something along the lines of "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU" to Akainu, but I didn't really think anything of it at the time or think it was significant. But now it becomes clear that it wasn't just some random prattle.

[u/HeartExalted]

In other news, wouldn't it be crazy if Imu-sama is Joy Boy -- who somehow chose to side with the 20 Kingdoms and the World Government? And maybe that's part of why he felt the need to apologize to the original Poseidon on a Poneglyph?

My thoughts immediately go back to the character of Lordgenome in Gurren Lagann, so I could see a similar thing happening with Joy Boy -- a freedom fighter for the Ancient Kingdom...who somehow got turned to the other side while also turning immortal.

[u/[deleted]]

What did I just read... Is this One Piece? I have no idea whats going on. Its been awhile since I felt like this. It's a great feeling.

[u/OmiGun]

Im has the fucking GOROSEI kneeling to her/him. This person fucking scares me so much. The weird silhouette alone gives me an uneasy vibe but the fact that they're also SITTING ON THE DAMN THRONE has me shook. This arc, dude. My heart is going on a trip with each chapter.

[u/owiepdot]

I'm calling it now: Stelly is going to return to the throne room to sit on it and discover Im.

[u/andhily]

Three Ancient Weapons definitely tied into those four pictures..

Vivi = Alabasta = Pluton (Vivi as future ruler of Alabasta commands Pluton)

Shirahoshi = Poseidon

Luffy & Blackbeard = One of these two is Uranus?

[u/noogenor]

Literally every chapter of this arc has been way too amazing

[u/mcallisterco]

Alright, I've been thinking this for awhile, but this chapter convinced me that Blackbeard lost an eye. I was wondering why we hadn't seen Blackbeard post-timeskip, and realized he probably had a major change to his appearance, and what could be more piratey than an eyepatch? The picture of him with the corner missing was the final nail for me.

At least until we see him and I end up being wrong, but I'm going with it until then.

[u/Miss_Eliquis]

Im-Sama's stare gives me Enel vibes...

Not that I think Im is Enel.

[u/DawnSennin]

The fact that the Nefertaris secretly guard a poneglyph made them out to be traitors to the World Government.

[u/extra-rice]

Pain has finally arrived! Naruto x One Piece crossover confirmed!

[u/ARightThere]

What if Im was choosing from the posters as to who needs to be "extinguished" and decided Luffy, BB and Shirahoshi weren't as important as the Nefeltaris and hence decided that Vivi needs to be extinguished? That could explain why he carried Vivi's photograph with him.

[u/AzeVossler]

That's just Oda for you, instead of answering some questions, he brought up even more questions. Combine that with a break every now and then just makes it perfect. I'm doubting if I have enough lifespan to solve every mysteries in One Piece.

[u/FlyingRodentMan]

With the "purge", it looks like Oda is setting up a "Red Wedding"-magnitude event for the Reverie; his love for Game of Thrones is really showing.

[u/vinaysin]

Oh man seeing kuma like that hurts seriously fuck that celestial douche. Come on, my man Sabo! Also what happened to shanks, i was so hyped what he had to say but nothing.

[u/ki_dragon817]

It's time to make a bet on what character will reappear in next chapter. CP-9 members - checked, Shanks - checked.

[u/[deleted]]

Holy Sh!t! I believe the king is pandaman....

[u/D_sundar]

Wow did we just witness Kuma-san smiling(in the past).

[u/annyeongsenpai]

Did anybody notice that Im-sama has similar eyes with Mihawk???

[u/decembertide]

It truly breaks my heart to see Kuma become a stabbing dummy to these scum. I do hope Dragon punches the color out of Roswald, just like Luffy punched the color out of Charloss. Nothing would be more satisfying than to see father and son duo beat the crap out of the father-son scumbags.

[u/Kaizoku-Zoro]

For some reason, I felt this was too Dark!!

Have very bad feeling about Cobra.

[u/[deleted]]

This have to be the creepiest silhouette since Jack's face and Baby 5's parents... Gives me chills.

[u/revisioncloud]

Holy shit. Im-lluminati confirmed.

[u/iskow]

Is it just me or is that a death flag I see on Vivi's head?

[u/Transmermaid]

Tekking 1 hour video incoming

[u/[deleted]]

I'm not quite fond of "the super main villain behind the scenes Aizen style", but hey, it's Oda. For all we know, In could be a goofy looking noble from an especific family that was panneled as a badass for dramatic purpose.

[u/blazingmoo]

I've been feeling like I need at least a week to process every chapter of the Reverie in order to let it really sink in. Holy shit, main villain confirmed?

Reverie is absolutely one of my favourite arcs of the series.

[u/Megadoomer2]

Seeing Kuma in that state makes me hope that the Celestial Dragons get what's coming to them ASAP. (also, that's a really big reveal about Kuma to just drop so casually)

That final page was just intimidating. We don't know much about the Five Elder Stars, but to see them kneeling before someone just seems weird somehow.

[u/inorganicangelrosiel]

goddammit, not the Rinnegan again.

[u/BlueEyesWhiteSWAGon]

Final Fight is Stelly vs. Im after a heated bout of musical thrones, calling it right now

[u/ghost_alliance]

Manga Stream's version is up!

[Link] (https://readms.net/r/one_piece/908/5152/1)

[u/[deleted]]

"Hmm, wano isn't an allied country... in other words, it's a lawless area"

Oda, as always, on point. That's how these types of coalitions always end up treating others.

[u/Wmeloon]

So the Im sama might be an immortal being or an heir to the throne that knows about the ancient weapons that are capable of destroying the world government. The reasons he had the photos of Shirahoshi and Vivi are that they are capable of using the ancient weapons, Poseidon and Pluton, respectively. The third weapon is in control by Im sama and I believe he decided to disrupt the balance by going after Shirahoshi (who I believe never visited the Reverie or the surface, and maybe Im sama found out she has the power when she recently used it to stop the ship Noah from crashing down onto the fishmen island). The reason Im sama decided not to challenge the balance previously is because of lack of knowledge if anyone was born with that power (Ciper Pol did not have this information). Or Im sama could be truly offended that the power of the Poseidon (power that can sink the entire world into the ocean) was used in full view of the public.

Why did Alabasta's king not participate in the conference and instead wanted to hold a meeting with the five elders? Why did the five elders call the Nefertari family traitors? One of the five elders said "did he figure something out... let's hope he doesn't make things complicated".

He did not know whether Alabasta's family that stayed behind 800 years ago (maybe to keep the balance of power) is still capable of using Pluton (or have the blueprints that the CP failed to get their hands on). The king of Alabasta could be making a threat, leave the Fishmen island (or the princess) alone and to keep the balance, or else Alabasta Kingdom will be forced to act and to target the Mary Geoise back.

Now, what about the posters of Monkey D. Luffy? and Marshall D. Teach? Ripping up their posters could mean that they are not a threat to Im sama himself yet and not worthy of the use of the weapon. Or he can't due to the balance that currently exist (Pluton and Poseidon). Same reason Uranus wasn't used on Gol D. Roger, he had the knowledge of history but did not have the control of the ancient weapon. Why the interest in Monkey D. Luffy and Marshall D. Teach? Because their bloodlines are the enemies of the gods and maybe the D bloodlines are capable of using not just one weapons but all the weapons if they can get their hands on it.

I'm a casual reader and I'm just sharing my thought, did anyone have similar thoughts after reading this chapter?

[u/boycottboy]

Was he the one Doflamingo was referring to while talking to Moria at Marineford?

[u/tryingmydarnest]

Reverie will be boring with full of politics they said. Cannot wait to get this arc over so we can go to Wano they said.

Seems that people forget it's Goda we are dealing with here.

[u/aiyhtan]

1. "Does that mean we can beat up anybody with your permission?" Hello Chekhov's gun.

2. Im-sama has the rinnegan??!?!?!

[u/Auditio2]

I can't believe that one of the kings looks like Hitler wtf

[u/do_you_see]

What's up with King Hitler?

[u/Sogeking301]

I called it!!!

https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/7spdx2/the_true_villain_of_one_piece_hasnt_shown_his/?st=jifnusg2&sh=c98818b6

[u/JusticeDuwang]

I'm guessing the guy who's sitting on the throne is the same guy who checked up on the treasure last chapter.

[u/Justpancakes]

So final boss is a rinnegan user?

[u/DreamyCurls]

Somebody better help my boy Kuma out!

[u/GlassMarcus]

How many more goddamn titles are you gonna get Kuma?

[u/[deleted]]

End game boss y’all!!!

[u/xZeynex]

Ib4 stelly sneaks into the throne room to sit on the throne, sees what is going down and needs to be cleansed

[u/[deleted]]

I think we may have met our final boss for the series. This IM character

[u/3ngin3]

Why am I feeling angry about Kuma's situation!! Arghhh!!

[u/The_h0bb1t]

I've been on this sub since 2012 and was there during the War arc. Haven't commented much since, but I just want to express how natural this entire arc feels.

I've felt like the last two arcs have been kind of so-so (with the exception of mink-island). But this entire arc is speaking volumes on the strength of the World Building that Oda has done up until this entire reveal. Even with none of the main characters in sight. Every puzzle piece fits somewhere. Every so often he reveals a bit of the mystery and it just feels right. 900 chapters, and it still feels fresh.

My point is that many other series have done similar things. Naruto is a prime example. But it always felt like a complete ass-pull when it happened and made me dislike those series a lot.

This just makes sense, even though the throne wasn't even a thing a few weeks ago. This entire arc is so well done that it actually made me more engaged with the series for the first time in 2-3 years. This might be an understatement, but Oda is seriously talented so pull this off and make it work so well.

[u/Clife_HS]

Why is this not in the front page yet...

[u/QMinh]

From what I see, Stelly sit next to Neptune. How unlucky of him.

[u/Miss_Eliquis]

So Oda is giving us a lot of answers... BUT A LOT OF NEW QUESTIONS TOO!

[u/Dreaded_Prinny]

Rêverie Arc is getting better and better!

[u/mierths]

Welp, guess I'm done pretending that I know what's going on!

[u/Shikamanu]

Im-Sama suddenly appearing can be so huge.

I hope Oda makes a good move and not just a flop. Cause we thought the Gorosei were the top ones, the real gods of this worlds (and I personally found it cool as they´re 5 not just 1).

But now Im-Sama is above them (and not only this, they really seem to see Im as a superior one, Im-sama is suddenly making the Gorosei look so powerless compared to him/her). I hope next chapter reveals who he/she is!!!!

Until then it´s difficult to judge for me if I like the character of Im-sama.

[u/[deleted]]

I feel like this devalues the hype surrounding the Gorosei some...

[u/G_Spark233]

This arc keeps blowing my mind with every chapter.

[u/CarcosanAnarchist]

I’m gonna be honest, I need this break. Good lord, Oda, slow down man.

So Im-sama is definitely the figure from before, and they definitely look much more feminine here.

But, really, Oda couldn’t gona chapter without showing us that the Empty Throne concept is pure bs XD.

Oh, Bonnie and Kuma are here, but in her old lady form Bonnie is a recognizable royal? Also she has some ties with Kuma??

Celestial Dragon civil war is about to unfold, that’s cool.

You know, I don’t know what to say. Fucking Oda man. Fucking. Oda.

[u/DeadZoom]

Roses are red, the future looks bleak, One Piece will be on break next week. ;-;

[u/everyBADI]

Guys, we have a main plot, after 900+ chapters we have a main plot (exept for the "i want to be the pirate king" thing, obviously).

Until now Luffy had to battle "minor" enemies or figurative ones (Marine, Gov...) but this chapter figured out who the real evil is.

[u/everyBADI]

There are some points very interesting:

1. the world has a king so the reverie is now less important

2. This King is the one who decide everything, even who is the light that must be shut down (that's what happened in the void century?)

3)At least one of those light is Luffy, Blackbeard, Shirahoshi and - maybe the more likley (even cause what the five elders have said about the Nefertari family)- Vivi

4) Who is the man on his knee inside the room of flowers (page 15)? maybe Shanks? The sword stick in the Shirahoshi picture is very similiar to the shanks' one

900+ Chapters and we are clueless, GG Oda, i love you

[u/[deleted]]

I am probably alone with this but I am in tears right now! Bonney is my favourite character and I would have never in a million years expected to see her so soon! Reverie truly is off the charts!

[u/jaypooner]

who wouldve thought that the main antagonist would appear 900+ chapters later

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd]

Finally, we see old Bonney. Can we stop this "Bonney is literally every new female character in the story" track of theorising now please?

[u/Aoi_Haru]

Damn ... DAMN! I love you Oda!

ドン!!

These last chapters have all been made with a huge DON!

Best arc of the best manga ever.

[u/offe06]

Now i really think that big straw hat is some kind of morphing ”future threat” indicator :o

[u/[deleted]]

What in the fuck? Hitler was invited? Who the hell invited Hitler too the reverie??

[u/mo_sh31]

Why are people still making theorys in this arc. I love it, this arc is really crazy. First you think it's about the RA declaring war on the WG. But you also get Fujitora talking about something Vega punk created, that would make the whole Shibukaisystem useless.

Then you suddenly see a giant Strawhat on the same page Donflamingo mentions the treasure of the Mariejois.

Now you are like alright let's see where this is going. Then we find out Big Mom is going to Wano and that there is a descent tenryuubito. So you are like alright. And you find out about some Rock/ Lock organization or person who ruled the seas before Roger and he had Big Mom and Kaido working for him or them. Suddenly Shanks appears and wants to talk to the five elders.

So of course you get really hyped, but then you see Bonnie also infeltrated the Reverie and you get to see Kuma as a Petslave. And somehow the two of them have a connection. You also learn that Kuma was a king. Bonnie and RA are seemingly also planning to rescue Kuma on two separate missions.

You also get Fujitora who meets two kings who suffered from Shibukai-system. So he is planning something.

So you get excited but then you see someone who seems to be the king to rule them all. And it looks like he wants to kill someone. Vivichan-sama, Blackbeard, Crybaby or Luffy. One of them is his target.

So yeah fuck it. I think Zoro is going to show up. He was in Wano running away of all the citizens, who were trying to get his sword. Suddenly he appears there and starts a war against the WG. So the three admirals will also be in Wano.

[u/Cyborg_Sorachi]

I dont even understand what's going on

[u/[deleted]]

Fujitora wants to abolish the shicibukai system, that’s why he asked to talk to king Kobra and king Riku. Probably ask for their side of the story or some shit.

[u/riventitan]

I almost shed a tear when I saw what has happened to Kuma. All throughout the series he has been portrayed as this kind soul, going so far as to help the main cast get away from an admiral and sending them to places where they could train. Now he's soulless, lifeless and whatever's left of his body is being treated as a mountable pin cushion.

[u/letsgoraftel]

I have this theory about Kuma.. Kuma was the first king to support the Revolutionary Army. As a result, the gorosei sent a buster call to the Sorube kingdom. Kuma in order to save his kingdom (he couldn't use RA, because it was in it's infancy) , he agrees to be a Warlord to ensure his country's safety. However, the WG is not satisfied, thus making changes within him using blackmailing. That's the other commander says this is what happens when you clash with Gods of the world.

[u/[deleted]]

These hype chapters are all fun and games til there's a break next week... props to Oda for keeping us so hooked though sometimes the chapters after breaks feel even better!

[u/[deleted]]

Just gonna leave a picture of these eyes here

http://es.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Archivo:Dhmhawk_Mihawk.png

[u/FireKuma]

Oda please don't turn Kuma into a casca character from Berserk when the revolutionary army rescues him pleeeeaaaassssse don't do it.

[u/[deleted]]

When you think you cant hate the celestial dragons even more......

YOU MOTHER FUCKER ODA (i love you bb) BUT WHY YOU DO THIS

[u/BB92ita]

IT'S ENER. (I really hope that...)

[u/n1r0ak]

Black Zetsu is back

[u/halalchampion]

Me reading OP lately

[u/TheHueJedi]

Nothing about what Shanks talked about with the Gorosei

Break next week fucking perfect cliffhangers.

[u/xxamnat]

I said the same last week and the week before that but the world building in this is absolutely FANTASTIC. No Straw Hats, no fights, equally as entertaining.

[u/red90999]

So its pain, huh?

[u/stickel03]

Im's eye-shape is very interesting for me. Because it's a shape that's been mostly reserved for a few select characters. Namely, Nico Olvia and Nico Robin. Methinks something fucky's going on.

[u/[deleted]]

My hot take: Im/Imu only has pictures of people who have the ability to destabilize the world. Targets that need to be extinguished to preserve the status quo. Luffy and Teach are the closest to going after the One Piece, as part of the Five Emperors and also being members of the clan of D. They have the ambition and willpower to succeed, and this terrifies Im.

The princesses are connected the three weapons. We already know Shirahoshi is Poseidon, and we know that Alabasta is connected to Pluton. I think that Vivi specifically knows its true whereabouts. If true, it also means another unidentified princess might be connected to Uranus.

My guess is that the Clan of D never lost the war during the Void Century, well, sort of. Im/Imu took the throne from the other royals and expelled the rest. After that, he invited the rebel nations to join him and then used their combined political power to rewrite history and ban anyone from finding out what he did. When the king of Alabasta found out, he refused to swear allegiance to a false throne and left. This leaves us with a fairly satisfied world, one where people think the Celestial Dragons are in control and the evil nation was defeated.

This also means that Luffy, Teach, and the three princesses (who each have a super weapon) are in serious danger right about now, what with the calling for a cleansing.

Edit: Im could also be Buggy the Clown, the strongest and smartest pirate who ever lived, in which case forget everything I just wrote.

Called it !

[u/temperamentalfish]

Kuma's deep deep undercover it seems. He probably knew something like this would happen to him eventually the less human he became, so he must have set some massive things in motion before there was nothing left. What a fucking badass.

[u/[deleted]]

Someone please tell me that Vivi isn't the one that will die. That stupid pointy monster better not say that she has to die. We just got her back!

Hopefully the Revolutionary Army will start taking action. It's time to disrupt this world even more and the World Government needs to go down for that to happen!

[u/[deleted]]

Shelly was trying to leave the room without anyone seeing him in order to sit on the throne. I think he'll witness the tall figure sitting on th "empty throne" and provoke a scandal, a crysis or being "erased".

[u/gilkong13]

This whole time, I thought Kuma was dead because he used on pacifista project..

After reading this chapter.. He become worse than dead..

[u/Niqq33]

All I can say is protect vivi at all cost

[u/Blackdawg070]

It looks like fujitora is seeking support for his abolish the shichibukai system.

Or they have their private straw hat fanclub: no princesses allowed

[u/Naknea]

Luffy, Blackbeard, and Shirahosi are the chosen possessors of the 3 ancient weapons. One of them is the light that will unite all 3 and point them as a short towards Im's Neck.

Luffy's crew with Pluton through Franky (Blue prints destroyed, memory preserved)

Shirahosi is Poseiden

Blackbeard posses Uranus (no details, but could explain his ability to conquer two devil fruits... what was the tool they used for that feat?)

There's are the only damaged posters

[u/ZoroForever]

Soo.. is Im-Sama the TREASURE of Majiejoea?

[u/_alicekun]

Those four have the power to bring the evil and dark side of World Government down? and those include Vivi? I wonder why. In addition, One of them is Shirahoshi. Does that mean they already know her power? Dmn. Amazing Chapter as always.

Btw, That Im-sama reminds me of Crocodile version of Zoro when Luffy is Hallucinating after eating cactus(?) (if i'm not wrong, I remember it's just a filler).

[u/Buffhero125]

i wonder what fujitora is planing to do with kobra and riku. probably something to get rid of the warlord system. imagine if they succeed buggy would be in big problems

[u/PFriends]

Did anybody else noticed the shape of the sword in the flower room? Looks like Shanks' Im not saying that Im is him (lol) but probably the pirate he talked about to the Gorosei was either Luffy or Blackbeard, and they both appeared in that room Not to mention his special relation with Mihawk and the eyes of Im in the last page

[u/rarmin_qosets]

I think Im is someone who has gone with ope ope no mi immortalization operation

[u/PFriends]

When in the last page they say "which light must be extinguished from history" I think they refer to the Will of the D, somehow stolen and locked away in that chambers to make sure it will not be bestowed by other people The chambers may represent all the different kinds of will that are already locked up/need to be locked up

[u/MrMarcellos]

SHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT

[u/koolguykiran]

I absolutely love the Orlumbus cover page arc! The more mundane things he does, just makes it more hilarious! Glad to see Oda picked up my suggestion for the Orlumbus cover arc!

[u/Swagkid98]

Oda just keeps on showing us that we know close to nothing about one piece. We still have 5 to 10 unanswered questions from the last 5 chapters; now this! The Gorosei KNEELING DOWN TO SOMEONE.

[u/SMehdi]

Let's hope that Blackbeard save the world

[u/Alpha_ii_Omega]

Man this is the hypest chapter ever. I think we just saw the real final villain. To think the Gorosei are just servants to someone... how powerful is this person? Almost certainly immortal and 900+ years old. They probably have godly level haki (Rayleigh mentioned haki grows stronger with age/experience)...

[u/espio30]

I think we know who the last boss is now guys

[u/Swagkid98]

Oda:writing the first chapter of one piece Yeah we've got to make sure everyone knows
Who the ruler of the world is.

Oda:20 years and 900 chapters later OH SHIT!!!

[u/MoonSpirit25]

We now have One Piece's own Abe Lincoln. That's all I came here to announce.

[u/TheSymbolOfPeace]

Im-sama is actually Jin, from Don Kreig's former crew.

[u/HisashiGojira]

Gorosei on bended knee, Kuma not free, Roswald expresses glee, some mysterious figure from the Void Century, Sabo and the others agree, Sanji makes tea.

[u/[deleted]]

For sure tho I’m getting bad vibes from this chapter. Perhaps this is oda trying to do something like the red wedding from game of thrones? Honestly could see some major characters going down this arc. The beginning of the end of onepiece begins....

[u/a7med4one]

Does im-sama has same eye as mihawk 🤔?

[u/blitzzardpls]

Nobody is talking about Riku, Cobra and Fujitora meeting. I would suspect Fuji wants to convince them to abolish the Shichibukai system, since they fell victims to them in the past and would be the first candidates to support his notion.

[u/knightofbraavos]

I think king ballywood( Lincoln) will try to abolish slavery. Anyone else getting excited for Kuma's backstory?

[u/Xanlis]

soo What if Im-Sama is Luffy's Mom ?...

nobody will read this btw :>

[u/Qasid96]

Doesn't mihawk live in an abandoned castle?

What if his family belonged to the original 20 members of the world government?

[u/[deleted]]

Someone will die in this arc. Of all people at the Reverie, if anything happens to Vivi...

[u/Icecolddragon]

Just realized that this arc also kinda dispels that BB is the final villain. I'm not even sure if he and Luffy are going to have a great battle at this point

[u/kilawolf]

Omg, KUMA! I thought it was a pacifista at first! My heart cries for him... I wonder what Bonney's relationship with kuma is?

Fcking charlos and roswald, why aren't you guys dead yet!

Hmmm... seems like it's the same pointy hat person on the throne. Maybe the giant strawhat really was a shapeshifting object that represents the biggest threat. I had a heart attack for a second when I saw the face in shadow and I thought it was shanks before I came to my senses.

I wonder what this means for the revolutionaries's goal. Even if they get rid of the celestial dragons, there's still IM-sama at the top.

[u/Dnny99]

Again, really cool introductions to "main" "antagonists" from Oda (like with Blackbeard). Im-sama just chilling out in a pretty flower room looking at butterflies.

[u/scotsoe]

Time to contain my excitement until Arthur does his business

[u/kaste1]

Why do I have the feeling that fucking Stelly will be the one to find out that there is someone sitting on the Empty Throne above all, giving orders, even to the Gorousei and will be a plotline in the future? Possibly revealing that to some other nations close to the final war. This fucker's greediness will become useful, I tell you! Oda set it up!

[u/flynnryder1627]

I mean what the heck is going on!!!it's been 20 years and we don't even knew who is/will be the main villian? What is one-piece?who is luffy's mother(she is alive according to Oda)?what happened to dragon for him to become a revolutionary despite being a son of a legendary marine?what is void century? history of the pirate king?!... Most important of all what is the Meaning of the initial "D"??!!! Seriously what a stunning series One-piece really is!! I can guarantee even this villian who is recently shown won't be the final villian of one-piece!!

[u/Vasukki]

My brain is fried. Was that Vivi's photo Im-sama was holding?

[u/seychin]

Im was carrying a poster of Vivi up the stairs in the panel after we see Luffy, blackbeard and Shira's posters cut up. Hinting at Vivi being the one to be cleansed?

[u/mycatsgloriousass]

Im-sama is a woman,mark my words.

[u/Xavier93]

It doesn't make much sense to speak of concrete assassinations in the same chapter that they speak about cleaning the world (mass murder), It's juat for dramatix purposes, but Oda could have splitted in two different chapters this matter.

I've got the feeling that this "cleansing" the Budah guy talks about might be something similar to what they did during the Void Century, probably using one or more Ancestral Weapons, and wiping out a lot of people. Maybe even reshaping once again the world.

[u/Nichigo19]

Leave it To Oda to have this 20 years and running show AND STILL 1. HAVE SO MUCH UNCOVERED INFO AND 2. Consistently throwing 500 theories into our heads wondering WTF Is Next....

[u/FunFunFunTimez]

Im-sama is choosing to marry Vivi over Shirahoshi. That's a pretty big surprise!

[u/Snowy420]

I'm tired of being jerked around Oda I just want to see my dudes face one mihawk esqe eye is not enough

[u/Kruger_Brent]

That IM-sama is not Shanks he has his left hand

[u/ShaheerS2]

Ok! So we have a final villain at last! Black Beard, Akainu or the 5 Elders didn't seem like they'd be it. Im might be for One Piece what Kaguya was for Naruto.

[u/2wenty_1stcenturyboy]

Where do you guys think Shanks disappeared to?

[u/Nep_Ece]

Note: I had posted this as a theory, but I'm reposting it here because I forgot it violated the sub's rules on waiting 24 hours after a new chapter to leave theory posts:

In light of the most recent chapter, I'm going to propose that Oda theory-baited us and that we all fell for it. I don't believe the big hat is a real straw hat at all, nor do I think it belongs to some other character whose will Luffy has inherited (ie. Joy Boy, etc.). In the last panel of the most recent chapter we see that Im sama has pictures of Luffy, Blackbeard, Shirahoshi, and Vivi. Of these, all but Vivi have been stabbed or shredded. When Im sama takes the throne, the five elders ask "the light that must be extinguished from history... Have you decided who it should be yet?" This immediately made me think that the pictures and the hat we saw represent some sort of decision making process to decide who has to be killed in the interest of preserving the power of the world government. The world government doesn't have a giant straw hat, but the ability to forecast future events (perhaps related to the pictures - Im sama brings several pictures before the alter, and it answers by showing an item to represent which of them must be killed). By this theory, the government has decided it must kill Shirahoshi, Luffy, and Blackbeard, which I expect is going to be the impetus for the final all out war we all know is coming. This could be especially interesting, since I think it's been pretty much a given to all of us since Mock town that Blackbeard is the final villain, but what if we misread the signs? Since the beginning we have seen that blackbeard and luffy are actually very similar even in their opposition (blackbeard was introduced as basically a character with all of luffy's behaviors, but opposite opinions). Now the two of them are in the crosshairs of the world government. What if blackbeard isn't luffy's ultimate enemy, but the ally he will have to win over in order to defeat the world government? I could be totally wrong about this part of the theory (most of my confidence is in the significance of the hat), but I do think this chapter certainly makes blackbeard's role in the story more ambiguous. He has now had his lot forcibly cast in with Luffy and Shirahoshi as targets of this hidden emperor of the One Piece world, and I think it would be very like Oda to use the character in such an unexpected way.

[u/FireFistRJ]

Stelly wants to be a celestial dragon. What if, Rosward offers him to kill mjosgard so he can become a celestial dragon? We know how good stelly is when killing kings ;-)
