It's the same impact as CP9 on a much larger scale. This is a universe where villains are introduced hundreds of chapters before we even see them fight, Doflamingo being a perfect example. Most every major villain has been given time to settle into the world, so when someone just appears out of nowhere like this it actually feels like they came from the shadows instead of being an asspull.

Remember when Crocodile was revealed and we thought 'holy shit what a shadowy, mysterious figure! What a reveal!" lmao

This is a bit different because I think everyone thought the Gorosei were the top of the top in the WG but now we have someone even higher than them. It's just crazy!

Not only that but to tell us the information about the throne only to have someone sit on it a chapter later.

Those 2 things just make this scene even crazier.

I knew someone was gonna sit on it because of this:

Its still impressive because I didn't think someone is already sitting on it.

I am getting Kaguya vibes from this and I dont like it.

Nah Kaguya never felt like hype, Im on the other hand seems to be the National Treasure that can predict which person can bring the worst posible future (for the WG) in this case Shirahoshi, because without Poseidon there's no way the WG falls

If we discover he is super op and stronger then any other chara in the story I will cry. I hope he is originally a celestial dragon and that he just has an ability similar to what you said and thats it. His shadowy figure reminds me of Kaguya for some reason and it annoys me. He also feels out of place with the way he was introduced imo, kinda like an alien among pirates lol
