I think the reason why Kizaru is more serious than usual is also because of Sentomaru. He has defeated his friend for the mission, so he can’t fail.

having lucci awaken his devil fruit feels like oda trying to convince us that Lucci vs Zoro will be close. i however am not convinced

Kaku's pride as a giraffe and his genuine belief that giraffe's are awesome has to have played a part in his awakening and resonance with his fruit. No one else has shown as much pride in their fruits, Blackbeard coming in a close second with the darkness fruit.

If you don't think Kaku is a genius devil fruit user, go back and watch his fight with zoro at enies lobby. Man was pulling out new abilities left and right. Pasta machine went hard af.

Another point for Kaku being one of the most talented inante devil fruit users on the seas is that he literally not only figured out all his transformations and how to use them and which situations they were best for, he also developed multiple, multiple special attacks that literally no one else would figure out from being a giraffe man for a couple hours

We never saw Luffy's initial reaction with Greenbull. When we saw him watching the fight, he was already aware of his presence so there was no need for him to go like "someone very strong is here". As for Fujitora, he already had his first impression of him in the casino, he was already aware that he was not a normal old man, minus the fact that Fujitora was an admiral. As for Kizaru, Luffy was kind of caught off guard, Kizaru literally flew in at the speed of light, so Luffy was surprised when he suddenly sensed someone powerful was closing in out of knowhere. I don't think he was scared or worried, he was just surprised because it was so sudden.

The Luffy freaking out over a strong character heading this way is a parallel to shanks freaking out over Kidd's attack. He was worried for all the weaker crews, similarly Luffy was worried if anyone other than himself was to face Kizaru first. After everything in Wano, it'd be really weird for Luffy to panicking about his own safety.

Kaku with his awakening speedrun made all the Beast Pirates look like jobers in comparison. Dude did in less than 2 years what they couldnt do in decades!

Liam: "Do you seriously believe your own hype that much?" Rob Lucci: *"I AM THE HYPE!!!"*

What if Kizaru is the one who told Sentomaru that he has the strongest defense? Maybe when Kizaru finished teaching Sentomaru and Sentomaru asked him how has he done. Then he said ‘I think you have the strongest defense in the world~ ☺️‘ And Sentomaru is so proud of it that he keeps telling everyone that.

Sanji wasn't pointing the gun at Robin... he was pointing it at Usopp for pointing his slingshot at Robin lol

The Minority Hunter is back on the grind.

I like to think Kaku was so determined to prove his devil fruit is awesome he trained at it harder than anyone else

Kaido was also basically an awakened fruit user, his fruit is a play on the old "goldfish turning into a dragon" story.

Concerning that panel where sanji is holding a gun towards Robin, I like to imagine that Sanji pulled a gun on Ussop, not necessarily Robin

Rob Lucci is the first target of Zoro the Minority Hunter outside his usual opponents.

While I doubt Zoro will come close to losing, I also don't think it will be a quick fight, as Lucci lasted quite a while against Gear 5.

I think the shadow that Shaka saw was Caribou and he’s carrying out some sinister plan for Blackbeard who I think he works for. Also I really want to see the Buggy seraphim, he would be so overpowered.

Gear 5th Luffy vs Admiral Kizaru is gonna be pure unadulterated awesomeness.

I think it makes complete sense for Kaku to awaken his fruit so fast, since he said he really liked giraffes from the very moment he got the fruit powers. If a Zoan fruit can choose its "master", there's no reason not to believe Kaku's fruit chose him

I thought the shadow creature was S-Shark diving around quick enough to take out the cameras while barely being seen.

This is absolutely going to be a show of force for the Straw Hats, this is gonna show and solidify themselves as a Yonko crew for sure

I’ve always seen Kizaru as a sadist who enjoyed slowly ending people with his speed. He slowly peppered up Whitebeard with laser shots even though he could have Death Starred him. He likes to inflict maximum pain and despair before terminating them. Aokiji and Akainu do their duty, to varying extremes, Fujitora and Greenbull put things in their “proper” place (Fuji puts things where they were supposed to be and Greenbull does in the way that he keeps oppressive systems in place, keeping people down) but Kizaru is a terrifying outlier. He has no justice system, he’s just the best at what he does and what he does isn’t very nice.

I hope we get to see the name reveals of the Vice Admirals that participated the invasion of Egghead Island aside from Doll, the lady who casually kicked a Pacfista unit in the head.

Remembering that drake is a sword member and kizaru kicks him regardless is still hilarious

my favorite thing about kaku is how normal he feels in comparison to the other Cipher Pol members. I mean, he's objectively very weird himself, but compared to people like lucci and the other CP9/CP0 members, he's just a regular guy. you could get lunch with him.

It could have been Kizaru. He might not be super dangerous for Luffy, but he's still a deadly threat to almost everyone else present.

I find it hard to believe the likes of Kaido and Marco hadn't awoken their DF. Also didn't Crocodile introduce the concept of awakened DFs with the Guardian Beasts or whatever they were called in Imepl Down?

I look forward to seeing Lucci showing off more inventive applications of the Six Powers. I feel like we don't get enough from the non-haki fighting systems.

I've got hope for Franky. At the next big war the Straw Hats have he'll most likely show off all sorts of new modifications that were inspired by Vegapunk and all the technology on Egghead, kinda like how Nami's Clima-tact got a major upgrade in Enies Lobby after the introduction of dials in Skypiea

I can see a world where Lucci, after awakening his fruit, used his experience to teach Kaku how to do it.

As many have already suggested, I doubt that the fight between Luffy and Kizaru will have a definitive winner. What's more likely is that the two will get a chance to flex a bit, and then something or someone will interrupt the fight. But the final saga so far has been pretty unpredictable, so Luffy defeating an Admiral and finally starting to be respected on the same level as the other Youkous would be pretty cool.

Ordering that sword tiger shirt right meow!

9:50 I feel like Sentoumaru saying he "has the best def in the world" is akin to when Zoro would say "there's nothing I cant cut", its like a self made mantra to hype yourself up and give you a mental image of being impervious or undefeatable

About knocking out York, i would have agreed with you prior to this chapter.. but Sentomaru is specifically higher ranked than control chip holders, and when he was knocked out Kizaru (who was only a control chip holder) was able to directly override his control of the pacifistas. Meaning that yes, if the controller is knocked out then their authority goes with them. If york is knocked out, her orders go with her. The other vegapunks can override those orders.

Zorro is my favorite character. I still can't get over him taking all that pain on that zombie island ship. Dude is a bro.

I can see the fight against Kizaru being a defining moment in Luffy further developing his future sight, there's still a huge gap between Shank's future sight and where luffy is, and it's considerably large where Luffy can maybe see a second or two into the future, Shanks can see ten seconds or so. Observation haki thrives when the user is in a tranquil and calm state, and who is more calm and tranquil than Kizaru? (Seriously he looks high all the time) Considering his devil fruit abilities as well it would make sense for him to have a really good future sight to predict where his light should go and how to best use it considering its fairly linear pattern. Now will Luffy get absolutely curb stomped? Probably not, I can see this fight causing confusion with Kizaru if gear 5 gets unveiled again and the chaos making it difficult for Kizaru to properly plan around his abilities and stress him out to a degree much like Katakuri during his fight with Luffy. Honestly I would be super stoked if this is another Haki evolution fight, I always love the deeper dive into how Haki works as now it's decently clear Haki isn't as linear as say the power level system in Dragonball, it's very nuanced and has great utility.

I love the animations and drawings that your channel artists put together to enhance your writing!

OMG, I so appreciate the use of the "to shreds you say" Futurama clip. I don't think I've ever typed this phrase before, but that clip has been living rent-free in my head for years.

He wasn’t scared because of Kizaru’s strength, he was scared because he sensed the strength of a guy who haunted him in the past.

It could be that while Kizaru is the person Luffy recognized as strong, it was less about his actual strength and more about the fact that he dealt them such a stinging defeat before the timeskip. Firstly, he's an admiral and as such is a pretty big deal, second he's the only admiral who remains from before the timeskip so he's tough enough to keep his seat, and third he defeated them before. It's like having that one teacher you always feared from elementary school because they were a tough as nails no-nonsense teacher, but coming back to the school after graduation that mental image is still in your mind until you actually meet them again.

"To shreds you say" 😂😂😂😂 Loved this. Couldn't have summed it up better.

11:46 Liam you're forgetting thats exactly what kizaru just did to sentomaru

I'm still holding my breath for Tom to be on Elbaf because Franky, Tom, Vegapunk upgrading things on the ship and on Franky it's what we all need.

Honestly, Kaku being the best Devil Fruit user (at least best Zoan user) shouldn't be too surprising. Mere hours after eating his fruit, he developed all sorts of techniques making use of abilities that Giraffes Most Definitely Cannot Do (even accounting for how awesome and powerful giraffes are innately). Kaku is simply the best.

I got to admit I laughed at the clip of the professor from Futurama that you used to predict Saturns reaction to Lucci defeat!! 😂😂. It’s definitely going to be close to that

11:39 The command priority always confused me. Lucci *literally* did that to Sentomaru. He knocked out Sentomaru and took control over the seraphim, despite having lower command priority

1:53 - Jokes on you, I'm not wearing anything right now. Though admittedly, that makes your ad for body coverings quite a bit more compelling. Edit: Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Kizaru's nostalgia for the Straw Hat Pirates might be for different reasons than sadistic pleasure or him being a laid back fight junkie. I think it's entirely possible that Kizaru kinda likes them or at least finds them entertaining. Not enough to stop him from trying to kill them, but I feel like Kizaru being kind fond of the Straw Hats is entirely possible.

I can't help but feel a little sorry for Kaku in this chapter; given what Sanji says after bubbling him, Kaku wasn't even aware of what Lucci was plotting, and the guy had just come off from an apparently rough fight. ...I may be a little biased *looks at username* 😁

that shadow reminds me of when the gorosei were seen that one time but were all shadowy, also looks like it might have shape of saturn's hair slightly, I WANNA SEE IT

Man this guy going so in depth on the lighting really got me wondering if his rival dude in a room would ever do a full in depth video on the topic

I voted for Zoro not to underestimate Rob Lucci but by the logic that Zoro has been very close to Luffy in terms of strength throughout the whole series and even though Luffy got a crazy power up in gear 5 I still believe that Zoro isn’t too far behind.

Just caught up with the manga and went to see some glr vids, and another one just pop'd up. What a blessing 😭😭🙏

7:32 we all know sanji was pointing the gun at usopp 😂😂😂

''To shreads you say'' and I was rolling on the floor like crazy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

6:53 GREAT drawing btw. Love that!

About the Seraphim point, the commenter was indicating that since Kizaru can knock out Sentomaru and take SENTOMARU'S command cube to overwrite the Pacificas' commands, it's possible to do so for the Seraphims as well.

Just finished the One Piece Live action. I don't have any problem with Arlong's design but how they under used his arsenal of abilities. And where the hell is octopus man?!

"To shreds, you say?"😂😂😂 Beautiful ✨️💯👌

That futurama clip about lucci made me laugh. Thanks 😂

6:22 hat cannon? Liam you sneaky bastard 😂

Kaku's Pure love for giraffes unlocked his fruit's true potential. He has grown too powerful.

On the Sanji with a gun at Whiskey Peak, part of my mind whispers that it’s funnier if he was actually aiming it at Usopp in the event the crew sniper shot at Robin with his sling shot. It probably isn’t that but it’s a funny passing thought.

Franky incorporating bubble tech would be cool. Would make sense too. He is powered by cola, which is quite bubbly

01:32 is pure gold. As for the fight, I doubt it will be purely about Zoro, as in, it probably won't be an easy fight for Zoro, but at the same time, it probably won't be a fight that Zoro learns something from or walks away from as a better fighter. It will probably play out something like Zoro vs Killer, not like Zoro vs Hody Jones, not like Zoro vs King, with maybe no conclusion at all.

That Futurama reference had me literally laughing out loud which doesn't really happen anymore more thanks for that " to shreds you say"

I really love all of this theory crafting and listening to various theories and ideas is one of my favorite things about being a One Piece fan. I regret not getting involved in this community sooner. I used to live in Japan, but I never read Shonen Jump. I would always wait for the book to release and then catch up. Reading one week at a time (or every other week) is certainly a slow drip, but all of the speculation and interacting with members of the community makes me feel like I am the 中間 of a different kind of crew. I have been a One Piece fan for almost a decade and a half, but have only been interacting with theorists for around two of those years. I can only imagine what these kinds of videos would have been like in the Marineford days...

Might be just me who noticed it, but at 13:30 to 13:40 , you can see the SS Dolphin in the background, which is the trusty spacecraft from Captain Olimar. It's funny to see two of my favorite franchises in the same video, albeit unintentionally 😂

Kaku awakening his devil fruit in 2 years broke the theory that you needed to have one for like 10 years minimum to awaken them. Which in turn means the theory of Sabo awakening the Mera-Mera to beat Akainu is back on the table lol.

This tiger t-shirt’s reminded me of a certain panel in Shigurui also containing a tiger holding a sword in its mouth.

I think you may have missed what was meant by the comment suggesting to knock out York. When Sentomaru was "knocked out" by Kizaru, he (of lower order) overwrote the command for the pacifistas, my guess is that they assumed it would work the exact same way for the Seraphim. Either way I agree that it likely wouldn't though

That's an amazing point about Kaku awakening so quickly! 🤯

Lucci being so confident saying with me and Kizaru together yall are mincemeat like fat chance buddy lol

I still think Luffy was sensing Kizaru, but I won't be surprised if Oda turns it around toward Saturn. Just the way Luffy immediately engages Kizaru is what has me leaning that way. Also, when Sabo attacked the Elder Stars he didn't sense them as a threat before they transformed.

I have a very significant feeling that this arc sees Kizaru defeated and Lucci dead. Lucci’s had a long detailed storyline and his former unbeatable/scary status being overthrown would be amazing.

4:45 I wasn't prepared for Linlin the Hutt 😂

Even thought I doubt it, sometime in egghead I want the vice admirals to prove themselves and show that they are actually worth something

I will point out that Kizaru started talking while Luffy was super far away and before he could finish Luffy was kicking him /without/ stretching in the next panel. That was a huge amount of distance to cover, a surprising amount of distance. I think Kizaru was caught off guard by how fast Luffy was. Yamato literally awakened his Devil Fruit in hours. He ate the Devil fruit when a child, but spent his entire life in sea prism cuffs until Luffy removed them. When Yamato was fighting Kaido alone while Luffy was eating, he was awakened.

to be fair to sentomaru, the core of haki is willpower, so him manifesting that "world's strongest defense" might just do him a little more good.

Lol, shanks did the same expression when kid about to blow off ships with future sight

The Sento-Burter comparison is painfully accurate

Sanji in that chapter reminds me of how he was in Enies Lobby, where he calmly thinks ahead of everyone as he did when he closed the Gates of Justice.

Lolol great use of the Futurama clip

The doughnuts you put on St Charlos outfit are fantastic.

Best devil fruit user ever. Real talk his intro fixing vessels and identifying problems, then when revealed to be a bad guy, states: no just because I was an undercover doesnt mean I didnt do my job properly. I like honesty, so when he lies to the crew kind of didnt like that, (is being undercover considered lying??? *small existential crisis*)

For the shadow figure, until we get another hint or lead, I think it was S-Bear on orders from York. I could also see it being Saturn, or maybe a BB Pirate, but I feel S-Bear or another Seraphim as part of York's plan fits well. Silhouettes can be particularly misleading and inconsistent in OP imo

I think the reason Kizaru dodged sentomarus axe was due to him knowing sentomaru had access to seastone and like materials that could hurt him

Keep up the awesome work and videos Liam

Love your videos bro 💪

The fact that you mentioned that Kaku awakened his fruit in a little over 2 years, made me think about the fact that zoan fruits have a mind of their own and almost seeking out their users. I'm gonna assume that it was mainly to hype up Luffy as fated to have Nika, like this shitty little boy from some village ate the fruit that the world government has been trying to get for many many years. But it could also be an explanation to the fact that many of the awakenings are zoan fruits, cause they actively seek out a user that fits them. All the jailer beasts, Luffy, Lucci and Kaku are all awakened. Kaku did showcase some INSANE creativity in his fight with Zoro back in Enies lobby, and even expressed his love for giraffes. Him having the giraffe devil fruit is almost certainly fated imo.

I think it's worth pointing out in the ViZ translation Kizaru says his defense is just as good as Sentomaru's, which is interesting. Especially sense he said it while dodging.

Omg you hit the nose with helmeppo like omg why is he even still part of the story xd

It seemed to me that in the latest episodes kaido implied that the calamities were all awakened when he was explaining awakening to luffy; but commented that he was confused about luffy's presumed-paramecia awakening because his form ascribed more to one that only zoans assumed when awakened. Images of king (curiously in the background), jack, and queen (prominently in the front like a boss) accompanied this statement.

Kizaru also overwrote Sentamarus orders for the Pacifista. Thus it should be possible to overwrite an unconscious York

The thing with franky not being too involved in egghead makes sense, its the same as when reighly offered to tell luffy about the one piece, they dont want the awnsers to everything spoon fed to them, that takes away the fun of the discovery, it kills the dream

I noticed that stussy was the first to recognize that lucci was going to attack vegapunk, even with sanjis advanced sense of observation; he wasn’t able to stop lucci. Or maybe he foresaw stussy in action and did nothing, it seems to be a testament to luccis speed

Standard body covering? - Wrong! 😂😂😂

Lucci: im awakened luffy has no chance. Luffy: yea, nope. Lucci: I'm awakened zoro has no chance Zoro: yea, nope Lucci: screw it, im out

Yo this guy has a million followers!!!! 😳 🤯... WHEN TF DID THAT HAPPEN!? congratulations 🎊 👏🏾 💐 🥳!!
