I subbed

I like the thing you pointed out about the no guards when Shanks visited them. Its either theyre capable of defending themselves or Shanks is in cahoots with them.

The scene where the gorosei ask for the light from imu has a lot of meaning...only three of them speak while two remain silent ...and when you go to chapter 908 to look at that scene, then the color of their coats are black while the ones who spoke are white, this could be some sort of sign from Oda to tell us that two of them are actually not in agreement with the system...

For months I've had the idea that the Gorosei follow Imu's orders only out of fear of Imu's true power. Perhaps they consider Imu an entity that can't possibly be beaten, and try their best to govern the world for the rights of the people without betraying / facing Imu's wrath.

The amount of "final bosses" this series is going to have is going to be overwhelming, we think things are crazy and over the top with Kaido and Big Mom right now, but this is going to be child's play compared to what's coming.

I really think the reason Gorosei are so old, is because of the operation of the Ope Ope no mi. They have a massive price on it, and yeah, its strong, HOWEVER, Doflamingo mentioned the Ope being able to grant eternal life. When the gorosei had the knowledge of Ope's existence again, they were completely shocked, and wanted it.

I thought we now knew that they're not the same gorosei from their dialogue in the zunisha chapter where they said that the world government had changed the name of a specific fruit

Theory: There were more Celestial Dragons. I think that they disagreed with The Gorosei (perhaps a war) and were cast away. These Celestial Dragons' descendants will be marked down with the name "D". That's why the name is so feared by the WG and the Celestial Dragons.

Call me crazy, but I don't think Luffy's purpose in the story is to be the one changing the world government. I fully believe that will be all done by dragon and the revolutionary army, and maybe kolby. But Luffy himself will not be the one to guide the world into a new form of rule, he has never once been interested in doing so. He has his own goal and that's ALL he cares to achieve, the other major figures around him are the ones to bring the world encompassing changes. Luffy will just be the catalyst to show that the world government isn't the right way, but not the one to offer a solution and new way of life.

When the Gorosei and Imu reveal their true physical power, it will be a day to remember 😈

The way i imagine the political system at the end of the story is basically the same but without the WG. Luffy will eliminate it and then not care about what happens afterwards, like he usually does. It will be up to the people to create their own governements. Basically it will function similarly but without the overarching thraet of the world government and the nobles

One thing that I find interesting by proxy of the Gorosei is the difference in power between Akainu and Shanks. Be it by battle experience, charisma, or something yet unrevealed. One is swatted away like a child throwing a tantrum, while the other gets the respect to sit and hold a discussion.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Akainu is how loyal he is, and that he doesn’t act willynilly about decisions despite having the most offensively powerful devil fruit, being in one of the top positions in the world. If he has a breaking point in this regard or not, but his black and white views and being forced to be aware and interact with the grayer sections. As Big Mom reminded us how big a deal Roger’s speech was, and WB’s death causing another huge push in global piracy.

I feel like buggy needs too play an important role in shanks’s arc or Elbaf

Would be interesting to look back on this video 5-6 years later to see how the theories worked out. Or Goda just blow all the fans minds by coming up with something completely unexpected.

I think that shanks is a celestial dragon i mean there is this theory that back in god valley when xebc tried to kill all of the tinrubi Roger stoped him when he saw exception in few of them and the theory goes that he could only save their child and raise him and the boy is shanks that's why singoke respects him and he can talk casually to the five elders

ever since i subbed at ohara I’ve been waiting for new theory videos he drops! big fan can’t wait for the next one

Gorousei is probably the most powerful and mysterious nobles in One Piece, old man you met in the park be like:

Thr Gorosei don't understand why the WG changed a certain devil fruit name. That means at the time that happens, they either hadn't born yet or were not high in rank enough yet.

I think a compelling part of them being powerful is the sword the Gandhi member holds. Based on the guard and handle, I think it's the Shodai Kitetsu, a supreme grade sword and a member of the legendary Kitetsu line. Not a sword for lesser men.

If what was covered in this video interests you. Highly recommend JJK, how it directly approaches huge social issues from death/euthanasia caused by overwork, over stress to how Japan’s political system works from the traditionalists what’s required to enter the world as a candidate by them & the younger generation getting unique candidates in such as Yasuhiko Funago and Eiko Kimura to the control of information of global crises. How much is metaphorical and how much is directly covered is so god damn well done.

A little correction: We actually don't know the age of the Gorosei. So it's wrong to say: They didn't have aged since Ohara. Yes, they look the same. But what if they age just very slowly?

"The world of One Piece is a dystopia." "A small circle rules over the world and brainwashes the people with propaganda." That's literally our real life world, no dystopia. Or you could say we live in a dystopia as well.

Yes I agree that's what I love about oda he is the type of a writer that makes hidden layers in the story that are visible and aren't in the same time without making the reader getting bored he is a master of story telling

The idea that Gorosei are striving to maintain balance I think is with the most credit to it. Both Luffy and Blackbeard believe in absolute freedom but too much of said freedom can only cause destruction. And while Blackbeard most certainly will go above and beyond to destroy the system, I think Luffy (or somebody else) will probably be the one to find more balanced approach. Not as oppressive as the current world order but with enough restrictions to counter complete anarchy.

I think a huge revelation that was given to us in chapter 1037, however it is wildy overlooked due to the appearence of zunesha, is the fact that the gorosei say "That fruit is only a legend now, even to us" And "Then why would the world goverment bother..." These 2 statements imply that the gorosei have not been alive or in charge of the world goverment since its formation. I think this should be thought of more as people looked into the whole zunesha thing ( which i think has been done in purpose i.e oda has taken attention away from the gorosei by using the whole zunesha thing as its a prettybig thing considering the mystery behind zunesha)

Maybe they are not actually evil but are the ones preventing Im from destroying the world they fought him 800 years ago( their scars) and were defeated, gave up and enslaved themselves forever to act as a force of balance

First time I found myself actually looking forward to a youtuber post video. Crazy I wasn't subscribed before, you deserve every penny you can get from doing these services to One piece fans all over the world. Keep doing what you do, it is perfect!

I can see the Gorosei actually wanting to keep peace up, because their actions and that they have to be in this gray zone of what is good and bad would not contradict that, because from their point of view they do what they find necessary to keep peace up. And another idea came to my mind while watching, what if the way the Gorosei and Imu are now reigning over the world was the way which Joy Boy did not like, and Joy Boy as he maybe was connected to Imu did get in a fight or arguement with Imu and their closest followers ( maybe the Gorosei ) about how they wanted to reach peace in the world and that is why they have gone their own ways after they did not come to an agreement. That would explain why they are against some things they see a big threat to them, because it does not fit in to how they want to continue handle all things to keep peace. Of course im only fantasiszing here, and i dont know how much of this how many thousands or millions of people have allready theorized, i actually just watch your theory videos, and maybe this text will never be read by anone. :D And as far as it goes for the kingdom which got annihilated in the void century, this is still all we know about it so far right? That it got destroyed by their enemies, when I'm remembering it correct at the moment. If this is still the up to date information, i thought maybe this kingdom was not the "good" one but the bad one, which got destroyed by Imu and her / his guys, which would lead back to my thought about how Joy Boy and Imu maybe could not agree on how they wanted to handle things, and had gone their seperate ways. And if Ruffy indeed is this man who has the same will as Joy Boy it would explain why the government sees such a threat in him, and they people with the D are enemy's of gods, because after Imu and followers destroying the bad guys in the past, they became the ruler of the world and handled it how they wanted to keep peace, and the family of D (including Joy Boy) are enemies of them because of their ideologies and how they do ot agree with the way the government handles things. Sorry for the wall of text, and i doubt Ohara will ever read this, but it actually was fun writing this. :D And i do not watch or read one piece theories, i just think about things by myself and sometimes as the story goes on i see if i was right or wrong. :D I only recently started to watch Ohara and his theories and have noot watched much so far, but i like what i see. :P

The Gorosei were my students Back In the Void Century Before I died I Gave Them 5 Lootbags Full of Totem of undyings Thats Why They Are Immortals

what if the sword at the empty throne is the Joy Boy's Swords and every reincarnation have lost before during duel with Im and Luffy is the first one without sword. The last Joy Boy.

the blond one is actually more look like young joseph stalin than young abraham lincolin

I always wondered about the more simple things like why are so many swords layed around imus throne are they the swords of people who have tried for 800 years to take her/him down or are they the swords of enemies that surrendered after seeing what imu was capable of? It’s interesting to think about

I'm still curious about the figure of IM SAMA. he is very mysterious. even only seen once

I’ve said for years that the one piece world would be one of the most terrifying anime worlds to live in thanks for making this video.

1:22 that subtitle saying ," which light need to be extinguished from history this time ?" means alot damn

I just want to say, we are all lucky to have found our way here. For most of us, circling back to the series as we got older and being mature enough to appreciate the many layers Oda has given the story since chapter one. Those that become fans after the series ends won't feel that 20 years of nostalgia the early chapters bring to us now, the feeling of wonder we have for the climax of the story. Experiencing Marineford years ago is going to affect how the weight of the final war for us, vs people that binge everything after the manga wraps. Imagine going right from Enis Lobby to the time skip in one sitting. Its not going to be the same.

I think the new ruler of the WG will be Vivi. It was said she descended from one of the original families that formed the WG. She has something that makes Imu want her dead. Plus, she is probably meeting up with Luffy in the near future. I think it would make sense for her to rule.

As we go through the story yeah, it's possible that Imu and the Gorosei mainly want to keep everything in balance. However, at the same time they seem to also want to keep everyone subjugated under the World Governments rule. And because of that, that's mainly why they want to get rid of Luffy and the Straw Hats because they have been disrupting that balance and even tearing it down piece by piece.

The one with the cap is saturn Damn ohara might strikes again

I think that the man with the kitetsu sword from the gorousei could be the ultimatum swordsman for Zoro to defeat in the end

One of the Gorosei definitely has a devil fruit that can slow down time, which can explain how they're barely aging and are not afraid of anything cuz one of them can easily slow down the attacker to a point where they look like they're not moving.

Heard this theory before that they were celestial dragons who had the ope ope no mi immortality surgery done on them that's why they want it so much but I don't think so... Akainu himself called them the lapdogs of the celestial dragons so honestly I think they are former navy admirals who run the world government... That would also explain why they all are scarred up carry weapons and aren't scared to have meetings with pirates like shanks or when Lafitte sneaks in to speak with them

U a g man love your content I just wanna say thank you for taking the time to give us one piece content ty man foreal

IM sama is related with Venus.. Venus tilt 177°.. Chapter 177 is in Volume 20.. In cover volume 20 its a Symbol of inverted Pentagram... ( check if u dnt believe ) Gorosei or Gobosei also means five pointed stars ( pentagram ) We knew that Oda always play with numbers and words....

We also know the original 20 kings could fight since there statues on the stairs to the holly land have weapons. But why would only these 5 be the ones left?

You and GrandLineReviews been killing it lately. Well done!

10:59 idk why, but I expected here to hear that they subscribed to your channel since 800 years ago

I would love to see Zoro fight the elder with the sword. I think that would be epic.

Assuming that the Goroseis are immortal, this could explain why they knew that the so called legendary devil fruit hasn't been awakened yet for centuries. It also seems sus to me on how they've been monitoring every df user of that legendary devil fruit. While in terms of their raw strength and power, I believe they could be on par with a yonko or less. Cause it would be kinda disappointing for me if they're the same weaklings as Celestial dragons. It wouldn't be exciting at all. Also, even if they hate legwork, I'm looking forward to see them in actual battle especially on the greatest battle ever recorded in One Piece history.

This was great. Even better than I thought. I always love your videos content

Good video. I really like your theories because they inspire me to make my own theories too. I have a theory in my mind and please hear me out. Since the spoilers of the latest chapter was released, it was revealed that the Gorosei gave an order to the leader of the CP0 to kill Luffy and why is that so? Before this we must look back at the possible connections of this scenario. Why does the Gorosei want to kill Luffy? Remember when Shanks had a meeting with the Gorosei and he told them that he wants to warn them about a ceetain pirate? It might be Luffy all along. Another theory that came in my mind is: Shanks warned the Gorosei about Blackbeard, that is why at the final chapters of the Reverie Arc, Imu-sama was shown with 4 pictures with him which are Luffy, Blackbeard, Vivi, and Shirahoshi. We can see that Luffy and Blackbeard's pictures were torn apart, meaning that they are to be eliminated because Shanks warned the Gorosei about Blackbeard and they may have mentioned it to Imu-sama, and Imu-sama also wants to eliminate Luffy because of his super fast growth which may be a very big threat to the government and Imu-sama is starting to get scared of Luffy. After that comes the scene where the Gorosei asks who shall be eliminated first, and maybe Imu-sama told them that it should be Luffy. Next is the picture of Vivi, we can see that Imu-sama brings the picture with him/her to the throne to let the viewers think that he/she wants to eliminate Vivi first, but that's not the case in my opinion. Imu brought Vivi's picture because he/she is interested with her because of her connection with Pluton. The Nefeltari family has a connection with the ancient weapon. Did you remember that something happened to Nefeltari Cobra in the Reverie that may have triggered Imu-sama's interest in Vivi? Lastly is Shirahoshi, Imu-sama pins her with a small dagger which means that he/she wants to take her, he/she wants to own her, he/she wants to possess her because she is an ancient weapon. That's all that I thought in this theory before I went to sleep last night. Again, it's okay to laugh, say bad things, and even curse me because this may not be true and this is just a theory and because this is a free world my nakamas!

Pls make a video about the gaint bridge in taquiela wolf one piece

it REALLY blows my mind trying to imagine how powerful Garp and Roger truly are/were. They literally took on all of the current world superpowers PLUS someone possibly even stronger. whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Rocks, etc.aybe Garp really is the final boss of One Piece hahahahaha ORRRRRR what if Garp has a kind of "history repeating itself" moment and ends up taking on Akaino and maybe some smaller fodder all at once helping Luffy and Dragon. History repeating itself as in having a battle with a world Megapower to change the fate of the world.

IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD IF YOU MADE A VIDEO ON THE BEST AND THE STRONGEST DEVIL FRUITS

finally some one who understand one piece :D, i heard that Oda's description of Whitebeared was due to his encounter of an old man in a bar he was a world war 2 veteran telling war stories while having his medical intravenous drip stand next to him, witch is exactly what Whitebeared used to have while sitting on his ship. that was odas inspiration of that character.

I'm assuming that Sakazuki, at the very least, has some suspicions about the power structure in the World Government. Bonney is, I think, working for him and infiltrated the Tenryuubito's quarters in search of evidence that there is a power above the Gorosei. Just the fact that she's alive seems telling. Neither Blackbeard who had captured her, nor Sakazuki who found her, killed her or imprisoned her. So some kind of deal must have been struck. There's also the question of whether the Gorosei and Imu are really the 'bad guys' at all. The ancient weapons are long gone, except for Poseidon anyway, and the government doesn't seem to know anything about them or Shirahoshi would have been taken for sure. So the ancient weapons were almost certainly created by or allied with the lost kingdom. It might be that, at the time, the World Government was the lesser of two evils, and just became this corrupt over time.

I think they have a hidden power that can make their aging process slow or stop. And isn't it just a coincidence?Translation says sea in Japanese is Umi, and that mysterious person's name is Imu.

I have an idea What if the gorosai matches the top yonko That's why we find the admirals seems weaker then the yonko

There are times I wonder if the One Piece world is actually the aftermath of nuclear fallout. Pluton=plutonium, Uranus=Uranium, Poseidon=hydrogen. Which is why the celestial dragons wear the bowls lol. There are a lot of holes in the theory, but it could explain some of the futuristic tech and elements like that. But admittedly very unlikely

11:48 Personally, I think their designs are Oda being ironic like you mentioned. Take the Pacifista for instance -- they're essentially Terminators but their name is derived from pacifist, one who is nonviolent. Oda loves his word play, so why not be tongue-in-cheek with designs? The "freedom" the Gorosei provide is only for a very select few

Ohara oda is also playing on the dark side of each of these figures that he used to create them, it’s a lot to explain but basically these guys had bad intentions behind good deeds. If you look into it a little deeper you’ll see why the goresi are based on good guys, that run an evil government

Who were the Yonko before Whitebeard, Shanks, Kaido, and Big Mom, or were there even Yonko before them?

i think its crazy how much flower symbolism is in one piece at important times and at the center of the mystery is our archeologist with the flower flower fruit XD

Did Ohara manage to SKIP the chapter where they had the conversation in which Zunesha was in the final panel? Bro that clearly shows that they have not been around that long because there was a world government before them. And the younger one seems to be the actual youngest one among the current 5. I don't need to watch the rest of this video if it seems to completely disregard that. At this point it really does seem like Ohara is just making videos for the sake of making videos even if it has no weight to it.

Hi ohara, if you are interested There is a local theory in my country abt joyboy There is a lot of similarities of joyboy and a legendary lore of javanese culture named joyo boyo Both linked on some prophecies, if you are interested i can translate some of it to you

Long comment ahead, this is just based on pure speculation, what if the powerful country stated by clover is actually the world government itself (without the 20 countries/kings) and all thats left of it is imu-sama and the gorosei. However, joyboy contested their rule and managed to steal or liberate the ancient weapons from them (befriending the poseidon etc.). Then joyboy got betrayed by his own crew (blackbeard and rocks descendant) and they stole some or one of the ancient weapons (probably pluton, a weapon that could wipe out "an entire country from existence") from joyboy to attack the ancient kingdom and dominate the world (this aligns with the theme that pirates often betray one another). In order to stop their quest of world domination, 20 countries allied with the kingdom. Joyboy also allied with them (mirroring the incident in god valley). Joyboy probably saved imu-sama's life hence why he keeps his giant strawhat in marijois. If the hat belonged to an enemy, the world govt probably destroyed it from existence like they always do. Joyboy promised poseidon they would live in the surface because they have allied themselves with the world, but when they succeeded, the kingdom retained their racist ways/practices and were after the same path as the ones who betrayed joyboy. They would even eliminate races that became a threat to their rule. They erased history to prevent the will of Xebec's descendants to be passed on and even renamed their organization as the world govt, this time welcoming the kings who allied with them. Arabasta refused because the king witnessed their unjust system. The identities of the ancient weapons were also erased by the world govt since they were no longer in possession of it. Joyboy's ally, the kozuki og wano would then write a journal carved out of stone for the future generation to inherit Joyboy's will. Joyboy's crew disbanded, and as a reminder and to inherit their captain's dream to bring the dawn of the world, filled with freedom (ideals that oppose that of the world govt's) and to throw the biggest party, they put D in their names. Joyboy knew someone would inherit his will, so he brewed and left one last piece of sake as to "connect" with that person who would one day inherit his will and actually succeed. Joyboy had already given his hat to the kid imu-sama because he believed he was the one to do it, but he was wrong. He didnt have the hat so he left sake instead for the next to share it with the world. The sake was brewed using a devil fruit power (could be ope-ope no mi) thats why its infinite or doesnt run out, and could be shared with the world literally.

Something about "now back to the dystopian oligarchy" had me 💀🤣

I always thought it’d be interesting if Imu had A devil fruit that let them control water. The way I see it would be fitting if the person controlling the world has the ability to control the very thing keeping the various islands apart: water. In fact their name seems like a variation on Umi, The Japanese word for sea. I even came up with a name for the fruit: the Hito Hito no mi Model Sea Devil. Thoughts?

I don't think shanks meeting gorosei is him easing the way for luffy. I think it is actually his final attempt to stop blackbeard. In the first half of the story, the story climaxes into shanks warning whitebeard to the danger of blackbeard. I think shanks meeting the gorosei is the culmination of the same story thread. Now, instead of whitebeard, my theory is that shanks is warning the government on the danger of blackbeard. I think shanks wanted to stop blackbeard at all cost but unfortunately at this moment blackbeard has probably had become to strong. Not to mention, if shanks moves into blackbeard territory, the marine would get involved and thus break his 1v1 fight to a mexican standoff. All things considered, I think this is shanks last attempt to appeal for the case of removing blackbeard at all cost.

I have a feeling that the bald guy with the sword is the same one that trained Zoro! And that explains the look of the girl in the marine , his daughter. Faked death and forced her on an experiments or something .

I didn't think of One Piece like that, when you said it was actually a Dystopian set anime I never thought about it like that but it actually does fit the criteria! damn nice observation!

But the Gorosei on the last panels of 1037 describe the fruit they were talking about as, a "LEGEND even for us, that fruit hasn't awakened in centuries" which demonstrate that the current gorosei were not there during 800 years ago.

TBH i wish ohara stopped with these "dumb" theories that he's dishing out left and right that are clearly "what ifs" and not genuine theories and went back to character analysis ad that stuff. The Gorosei theory was already debunked in the manga so it makes no sense to call it a theory

4:03-4:15 I think from this alone we all know who Oda is really talking about in real life. Oda based?

10:58 i love how the sub button turns from grey to red

Why the five elders are always together? why not in pairs like each of them have a base around the world but choose marejoa as base, maybe because of their national treasure ? or maybe to protect something else important... there is soo much we don't know and I feel like this will take 10 more years to reveal

Does anyone have any opinion about Kong? Will he be an enemy? He doesn't seem to have retired, and his muscles don't seem like age has caught up to him.

The dark and complex political foundation which oda uses in his stories are one of the few things I like about the anime .❤️

12:27 , in India there is a famous quote that mahatma gandhi always carry a stick in his hand but never used it just like that gorosei

I think Oda is actually comparing our world to the One Piece world, cause as a citizen of India, I can assure there is freedom, but still not at that extent at which Luffy wants, and even in other countries its the same, there is a higher authority which give some rights to people and people can't cross those lines and live under some rules and regulations so there is no true freedom.

I'd argue that the gorosei aren't that powerful in actuality, if they were then they wouldn't need a shield What they do seem to have is influence and intuition given that they are the ones operating the system and they likely knew Shanks wasn't there with hostile intent otherwise they'd have definitely panicked and called for guards, they might have even been in kahoots for a while

Your comment is top-tier, man. Well-spoken and insightful through-and-through.

Imagine in some years when we see those five fights :)

One interesting detail about those historical figures the Gorosei are supposedly based off, is that all of them have controversial traits/legacies: - Gandhi freed India without war, but India was still economically subjected to England (besides, Gandhi himself spoused viciously racist views towards Black people, at least during his time in South Africa); - Marx developed (alongside Engels) an ideology to destroy class oppression, but that same ideology was used to justify very abusive regimes; - Lincoln led the US in the war against the pro-slavery Confederacy, but he himself spoke in favour of the belief that white people were superior. I don't know enough about Gorbachev or Itagaki, but maybe Oda basing the Gorosei on those people (if that really is the case; I still think the Gorosei are meant to represent certain national elites) is meant to say that even those who claim to fight for justice and peace can be deeply flawed themselves, and that because they've amassed so much personal power, those flaws end up impacting on the whole world. Maybe the Gorosei fought the Ancient Kingdom out of a belief that the Kingdom was going to destroy the world, and created the World Government as an attempt to make the planet safer and more just. But because they amassed so much power to themselves and the ruling class, all their system did was to become rotten to the core.

We’ve always assumed the world government to be evil since its inception during the void century, but what if that wasn’t the case? What if the lost kingdom was the evil one, and the gorosei led the fight against it… and lost? What if it still exists today, hidden from the world, and the gorosei are forced to obey its commands through Imu?

I think the Gorosei's agelessness stems from either an awakening of Brooks fruit and the Gorosei fear Brook because he can strip them and IM of their powers or could potentially the ability bestowed to Blackbeard Pirate Doc Q.

every Ohara title : ITS HUGE

I am of the firm belief that the Gorosei with the sword is the OG Kitetsu who wields the Shodai Kitetsu blade and it's likely HE who was at one point the strongest swordsman in the world.

When shanks said "I need to talk to you about a certain pirate " imagine he meant luffy and his devil fruit

I already can imagine this trio of liberators: Ruffy, the one who will Show the World that the Way of the WG isn't the right way Dragon, who will Show a better System to the people, with Ruffy promoting it maybe And Korby, the one who will rule the Navy as the new leader, with dragons New System.

I always had a thought that the elders were soldiers and they fought and lost to Imu and that’s why they only kneel to and obey Imu. But they may also be waiting for joy boy to free them as well

This was an awesome theory. I've been of a similar line of thought for a while as well, like what if the gorosei are suppressing the truth about the void century to actually protect the people of the world from some terrible truth that would be too world shattering for the average person to handle? I'm not saying they are in the right, I just think that they may have had good intentions to start with but they went astray and became increasingly tyrannical. Perhaps on some level they may even be protecting the world from Im-sama? Idk but Oda is way too good a writer for it all to be simply black and white. All I know for sure is that the end of one piece is going to be mind blowing.

Whatever it be, I don't want Luffy to be somehow related to Sun Wukong. That'd be too cliché, and it'd ruin all his hardwork if he wins just because he is Sun Wukong.

13:50 Oda could also be talking about people who are perceived as heroes of freedom by people today, because of the lesser-known history about these people. Abraham Lincoln never really cared about freeing the slaves. Everything he did was to secure more votes by Gerrymandering and remove the state rights, Gandhi molested his own nieces and even spoke of it publically and was most likely under the payroll of the British Government, Karl Marx abused his own children and even advocated for mass murder in order to gain political power, Gorbachev basically cowered like a Dog to Reagan and sold his own country out to the US for power.

Where do they get their snazy suits? Imagine being the tailor for the Gorosei; in fact, once revealed, that could be an interesting cover story.

Calling it now: the Gorosei aren't Celestial Dragons at all; they're allies of Joyboy from the Void Century who became Imu's slaves after losing the war. Keep in mind that, aside from being freedom fighters, the people that the Gorosei are based on also have something else that unites them: they all had tragic downfalls in one way or another. Lincoln and Gandhi were assassinated, Marx's ideology was corrupted by power-hungry authoritarians, the Soviet Union collapsed under Gorbachev's rule, and Itagaki failed to bring democracy to Japan.

So.... you're saying it's a 900 year reich? Also, how has NOBODY talked about historical pirates connections to the Templars/Masons vs the Catholic Church? There is so much there that parallels with pirates in One Piece. The World Government is obviously a reflection of the Catholic Church. Imu is dressed like a religious leader, not a king/queen. Poneglyphs masonic cornerstones. Both are used to convey messages. Who made the Poneglyphs? *master masons* from a secretive group. One Piece is also very progressive for it's time. Many of the values championed in One Piece are the same values of the Masons.

Wow your channel has grown so much. I remember you having like 70k subscribers. Congratulations and keep on producing great content as ever!

I just had a theory about the Gorosei and why Luffy’s fruit was protected by the government. Luffy pretty much stopped aging right? After the timeskip he looked the least aged from everybody in his crew. What if Luffy’s fruit has the special ability of age immortality? Then after every 100 years, it’s reborn but the previous users keep their powers. So there is a chance all of the Gorosei have Luffy’s abilities from stretching to the gears.
