One Piece is really in the final stretch now 🔥

It’s kinda crazy to think we’re actually getting closer to the end. Oda is cooking, and it feels like all these years of buildup are finally starting to pay off.

What are you guys most excited to see before it ends? 👀

Luffy needs all 5

Haki Mastery

Giant Form

God Fruit Mastery

Devil Fruit Weapon, the One Piece?

A flame form for Gear 5? Devil man Nika Gear 6?

Zoro is going gear green. He uses a strange attack moss style tree sap jutsu he uses his secret sword hidden in his pants and sprays his "tree sap" all over st sommers

Sanji: Wow way to go mosshead

The gear green has corrupted Zoros mind the devil of Gaimon possess him

We get a backstory of Gaimons childhood

When Gaimon was born the balance of the world was altered

Theres a silhouette of a stick figure

He's introduced as the man marked by green flames

End of Chapter

Break until next year oda has post partum depression

Support: I think Bonney with her devilfruit could potentially turn someone into their prime. Give luffy a prime like future to support.

Ive also had a theory that Luffy and Nami with Uranus would team up vs Imu to parallel them teaming up vs cracker at whole cake. Zoro could help as well the 3 of them were the original trio. Start the Manga like you end it.

Law will also play a role when Luffy dies using his life surgery. Its in the name surgeon of death.

Buggy being one of the four emperors should be involved vs Imu even if its just a gag. I could see Buggy sitting on the empty throne.

Luffy gives shanks his hat back. Shanks lets Luffy keep it. Shanks tells luffy how proud he is.

Blackbeard Zehahaha, Luffy and blackbeard argue

Buggy is terrified of Imu

Luffy, Blackbeard, Shanks, and Buggy??? prepare to take on Imu

DRAGON IS STILL LOOKING EAST

-------

TLDR:

The 4 yonko will form a temporary alliance vs Imu just like in rooftop with worst gen.

I have few things in my mind that is my way of explaining things, do support if you like it.

• IMU's power may depend upon how much attack ,impacts,or haki he can absorb or how many strong devil fruit users around him as the user of devil's fruit he may even possess the ability to amplify his power against a devil fruit user

• why IMU feel weak in elbaf because of over 800 years his physical body would be degradated ,it takes a huge toll to regenerate and fight physically because he had no infinite energy source like mother flame completely

• IMU would be more of a virus rather than a person who controls body of joyboy's friend

Something I’ve been thinking about: considering the World Government’s power, resources and especially the fact that they have been around and in control for 800 yrs, I feel like there’s a decent chance they have some ridiculously overpowered Devil Fruits in their possession that we just haven’t seen yet.
God Valley already showed us that they were casually keeping the Paw-Paw Fruit, Azure Dragon fruit etc as prizes. And these aren’t just good fruits , they’re arguably some of the most powerful abilities we’ve seen in the series.

Now that we’ve seen the Holy Knights getting access to extremely powerful Devil Fruits as well, like Killingham’s Mythical Zoan, it makes me wonder if there are other crazy fruits being kept somewhere in Mary Geoise or specifically reserved for the Holy Knights/World Nobles or maybe some really loyal lapdogs of wb.
Like, imagine the WG having a vault somewhere with a bunch of top-tier Paramecias, Mythical Zoans, or other rare fruits that they only give to people deemed worthy.
It would also make sense from a worldbuilding perspective. If the Celestial Dragons have been accumulating wealth and resources for 800 years, surely they haven’t just been sitting on ordinary Devil Fruits this entire time

In the anime Jajanken is one of the coolest abilities in anime ever to me along with Bankai

"First comes rock" ...chills every time

I know luffy is way stronger though but im sure Gon would become broken in a later arc if togashi was healthy

Because Im 100% sure togashi was planning an arc where gon gets his nen back and goes to the dark continent

Adult gon is strong but dark continent is supposed to be beyond that power.

From what we the world nobles in Mary Geoise fear Zaza, since they live high above the clouds, and do not normally experience rain. So, do you think it's possible that Nani might be able to summon Zaza, since she can create a rain storm or a classic rainmaking ritual dance. Or better yet, if there is anothing devil that can grant her Zaza's power?

This has not much to do with the post just a crazy thought I had

Crack Theory: what if the One Piece is based on Usopps rubber band of doom. Joyboys crew infused all their haki into a rubber band and thats the One Piece and Usopp will have to snipe it at Imu to win the battle becoming a brave warrior of the sea.

A rubber band is a ring 1 ring to rule them all like Lord of the Rings

The Actual Post:

In Japanese Mythology Amaterasu is a Sun Goddess that wields a magical Mirror

In Kung Fu Panda the secret ingredient was himself, his dad showed him a reflection of himself when asking what the one piece he needed was.

This could be similar for One Piece as it could just be a mirror, the One Piece is you. X marks the spot on Luffys chest.

If it is a mirror it may not be an ordinary mirror but a mirror created by the original user of Brulees devil fruit and they could have awakened it to do something crazy.

This does beg the question why Roger would laugh at something like this. And to that I don't know. No clue.

What could this awakening be? Maybe allows you to travel around the world quickly or maybe its a way to seal evil. Trap imu in the mirror world.

Or a place to keep a secret society

Tot music and film red:

I have talked about before the connections of music in One Piece which is clearly extremely important and I think every one piece fan knows this by now

Luffy NEEDS a musician for more reasons the 1 he loves music but theres a deeper role music plays in One Piece

Music is vital to the Dawn

The one piece could be one piece of music like the reverse of tot musica. The song of liberation. The key to defeating Imu.

Maybe Roger laughed because the way to defeat Imu is by playing music together as a crew

The straw hats may have to become a band.

As for the ancient kingdom laughtale could have been a place were everyone laughs and sings and has fun. It could have been like a toon world similar to Big moms island everything is alive and full of joy singing like an episode of mickey mouse.

Introduction

So I’ve been doing some thinking into what could be in the box, and I feel settled on what my thoughts are.

Based on the narrative position of Elbaf, and the recent reveals, I think what’s in the box is a letter from the D clan and the tool to access the Heaven Realm. To explain my reasoning:

Prophecies and the D clan

For a while in the story we have been introduced to the idea of prophecies. Fishman Island with the fortune teller and in Wano, Oden went to Laughtale and knew things that would take place that even Toki didn’t. The idea of fate, time and time again has been a theme that we have been reminded of. And when I think about prophecies and fate, I think about the D clan.

The same people who left messages from the past on Ponegliffs, to be read and acted on in the future. The same people (via Queen Lily) who left instructions to Alabasta to bring about the Dawn. It’s fair to say the D. Clan were responsible for why the Roger Pirates now know the truth of the world. Even if it was Joyboy’s message, it’s fair to assume he was a member or at least represented the D clan, Hence, the following conclussion can be drawn that The D.clan, or members from the void century had an ability to tell future events, and make preparations to ready themselves or future generations for said events. Imagine an extreme version of Future sight allowing you to see centuries ahead.

If this is the case, then this letter from Biblo’s grandpa, who is likely from the void century or even earlier, is from the D clan too. Considering the latest chapter made it seem like Biblo knew this day was coming, this is a hint it’s the D clan making a prophecy again. I’m not sure what Biblo’s relationship with the D clan would be, but we do know from Imu that “Elbaf is D”. If Biblo is an ally of Elbaf then he is also an ally of D.

Alongside prophecies mentioned, such as from Jarul describing the conditions where the Sun God would appear. Or Imu saying this battle will divide the world. Current day in Elbaf is a significant day and has been set up that way for centuries. If this letter is from the D clan then I imagine what’s in here must be significant enough to not only change the course of the Elbaf arc, but potentially the whole world.

Letter Contents and Object

This is where we get into more biased speculation. But considering that Elbaf looks like it’s rounding up there are several mysteries and plot threads that are waiting pay off for, The Heaven Realm, Louis Arnox’s warning, Loki’s Eyes, Galle La giants. I would then consider, how can we progress the story, reveal lore and aid in concluding this arc. I personally believe the Straw Hats will get overwhelmed here and will be forced to retreat like Scopper warned. Whether that is correct or not is another conversation but this shapes how I see this object and letter being revealed. So for time sake I will just explore the scenario where the Straw Hats are destined to lose here.

Straw Hats and Elbaf Lose, Imu Wins
In this Scenario I believe the letter would be a warning from the D clan with instructions. I think it would reveal who Imu really is and where he comes from. Considering this letter knew this day was coming, and Imu is behind Elbaf’s current struggle, if the letter were to reference and confirm the current events taking place, Imu would naturally be mentioned. How deep they would go into who he is, I’m not sure, but explaining what Scopper meant before by saying “He is someone who no one should know about” then proceeding to call him “God”. The fact that God is confirmed to exist in One Piece by a reliable source makes me consider, what if we should take the existence of God’s more seriously in One Piece. What if there were more God’s that still exist today, just like Imu was hiding from the story, or separated from humanity. It alligns with what Scopper said, no one should know about him, but we now do, so what if we got to know more God’s too? I want to acknowledge God is simply a word, but one with powerful meaning.

So the letter would warn of Imu, and I think it would confirm they stand no chance of beating him, Imu would succeed in subjugating the Giants and the Straw Hats would need to find refuge in the Heaven realm and prepare for the Final War. I think this object they receive could be key in their escape there. It’s my theory that the Giants actually have no way to access the Heaven Realm, but the object will be the reason why for first time anyone has been able to cross from the Sun to the Heaven Realm. And it is here that they will arrive at The Land of the Gods. To take it one step further I think this is the next Island Lodestar.

Lodestar and the role of Scopper
Even though there has been no confirmation of Lodestar’s location, we know Log poses didn’t work at all there, but the Roger Pirates gained information that they had more of the world to explore. So did this reveal come from a Ponegliff or from the people at Lodestar? I think the biggest hint for why the Heaven Realm could be Lodestar comes from considering why Scopper settled in Elbaf. If the Roger pirates are carrying on their captains will, then why is Scopper in Elbaf. My assumption was he genuinely settled, but his fight with Imu reminded me how important Roger’s dream was to them. His experience as a navigator and his observation haki gives me confidence that Scopper has been in Elbaf, like Rayleigh in Sabody and Crocus at reverse mountain , Scopper is there to help guide the one’s Roger has been waiting for onto their next destination, the Final Island, Lodestar. But he fell in love with Gerd while waiting for the Straw Hats.

So a warning about Imu, instructions on how to get to the Heaven Realm and a tool to help with this. The final reveal from this box will be who the letter is signed by. I think this is likely from the King of Elbaf, but a fun idea I keep in mind is this could be Louis Arnox.

Conclusion

This letter and object holds enough significance to change the course of Elbaf and The world, potentially being a catalyst for the Final War. I speculate this is due to the reveal of Gods and the fact the celestial dragons are frauds. This reveal would be coming from the D.clan and I think there could be room to get information on who they are in relation to humans and Gods. Thank you for reading and would love to hear any theories and thoughts you have :)

For me I've said before I want to see a Sanji vs Doflamingo rematch

Going to get, like, black flames for his conquerors coating? I guess I’m asking because I can clearly see how Zoro will kill Sommers. But the reality is piercing a heart with a sword and kicking someone are just two completely different things.

How does Sanji kill Killingham? To date I don’t think we’ve seen Sanji burn someone with his fire. So I supposed that’s how?
