Nami drawing a map of the world: - She takes a blank piece of paper - Done

Nobody of the Roger Pirates & The Red Hair Pirates have devil fruit powers, Rayleigh has got a job as boat coater and Crocos wants to live inside a whale... They all knew :D

It's funny because in spanish the name for the "stalemate" play in chess is "ahogado" -> drowned, which fits even better Vegapunks message

Don't forget that the capital of Alabasta resides on the top of a giant mesa, and the drum kingdom castle resides at the top of a mountain

Gorosei: we must destroy the snail Fishmen: hold up, let him finish

The All Blue.

The One Piece world being similair to Windwaker makes so much sense looking at the geography and the mysteries of the world. The ancient kingdom rests under the sea!

Crazy that this was foreshadowed all the way back in Water Seven.

What bugs me is that even though Vegapunk referred to the Gorousei and Imu, people of the world are more likely to think that Luffy was the one who did it.

Imu and the 5 elders reside on "Pangea Castle" The truth of the world was in our face the entire time. We just didn't realize until now.

Icebergs dream of making water 7 float gonna be a real fun panel to read in a couple years

Momo read Oden's journal and decided not to open the wall of Wano. Why did Oden still want to open the wall of Wano after learning the truth?

My dude Imu is about to try to create another void century 💀

I don’t think Imu is the one planning to sink the world, I believe the way he worded it implies it’s a natural occurrence. Vega Punk said it as a matter of fact, not something that’ll possibly happen if the world government isn’t stopped. The same discovery must’ve been made during the void century and Imu and Joyboy disagreed on how to handle the issue, leading to the war. In other words, Imu thinks he’s saving the world, which would also explain why the Nefatari sided with him at the start. My theory is the world is naturally sinking and there’s no stopping it, can only be delayed. Explains why Vega Punk doesn’t call them evil. Imu’s method for delaying the sinking is creating giant holes in the ocean to drain water, in his eyes it’s a necessary evil. Joyboy disagreed with this leading to the war. Just my wild theory atm

also worth noting that other allies of the ancient kingdom/ joy boy (lunarians - red line) and skypia (shandians) were also probably safe from the past flood

I have a genuine question do: right now the Revolutionaries are causing shortages in Mary Geoise by attacking their supply ships; supplies that presumably come from neighboring islands. This implies that Mary Geoise isn’t self sustaining, so if the islands sink, wouldn’t that likely lead to famine in the Red Line as we know it?

Guys guys, hold on, the gorosei are actually just really good people who care about fishmen rights a lot, so theyre giving them more water. How thoughtful of them

You've already seen Uranus. Enel has Maxim under his command. Where'd he know how to build one? He came through Birka (of Earth) and destroyed the island in the process. The Birka (of Moon) had come to earth and settled, the story of which Enel finds out in his cover story after his defeat. Instead of Mother Flame, Enel used his ability to power up a flying weapon that could destroy islands.

Mercury has scars though! That means that there is a way to bypass his toughness

If you play the FF16 DLC the Mysidians are basically Lunarians (dark skin, white hair) hiding in their kingdom for hundreds of years, the final boss is Leviathan who has the power to summon Tsunamis Maybe Imu will have a similar power to a Leviathan

Under the sea, under the sea, There'll be no accusations, Just friendly crustaceans Under the sea.

I actually think Vegapunk was trying to tell the world not to judge Luffy. He says: "Please do not assume that the ones who strike me down are evil.... Regardless of who they seem to be. I am not qualified to judge such things... And i do not know nearly enough about him in any case..." Right now the world only thinks that Luffy is about to or has kidnapped Vegapunk if i remember right. Then they are told that this message will only play when his heart stops beating. Now if it were me living in the One Piece world I'd imagine that Luffy then killed him. But vegapunk is saying "regardless of who they SEEM TO BE." So regardless, if it seems like Luffy killed him don't assume he's evil. Along with all the bounty photos and after Marineford he's saying don't assume Luffy is evil. Then with him stating he does not know nearly enough about him. What does Vegapunk know about Luffy to begin with? They've never met, or spoken, at least not that I'm aware of. They know of each other but do not have any intimate knowledge of each other. One more thing and this is about a theory that the Japanese channel Drop the Pizza shared over a year ago is that the poles will shift on the planet which will redistribute water, shifting everything 90°. Sinking or covering most islands and land masses and revealing other sunken areas. If I remember in the video it shows South Grave on Jaya in the East which rotated 90° puts it back in it's proper place at the southern part of Jaya. Then there's Old Wano & Impel Down now completely submerged. as well as the Tree of knowledge that has very clear indentations as if at one point it was submerged. The weapons being essentially Arks as well as the Void Century. What could cause a complete blackout for a year? Civilization losing land masses, homes, technology, infrastructure, etc then having to board an ark to find new land then resources to build, repopulate, etc. That could easily take a 100 years. A simplified video describing The pole shifts was done by GrandLineReview titled It Was Right There... He also has a link to Drop the Pizzas more in-depth review I just don't want to take credit for it or write the pages it would take to describe why it's hard to refute

One piece world is literally turning into the movie water world

We love you Artur, grateful we get to share this journey with you 🙏💯❤️

Aokiji laughs in biggest ice caves ever hahahahaha

Maybe Imu wants a cleansing to kill all df users, so their powers incarnate and with everyone dead will go back to him. So Imu, the devil itself, will have all of it's powers back, that might have been taken from him 800 years ago (or something like that).

The shock to the world and a giant pill to swallow, sherlys vision that the red line will be destroyed by Luffy will come to fruition in the end

My theory is that the Void Century was the time when the world was submerged in water.

streaming denden mushi is also used in ace's execution, not just in film red. Sabaody was watching the execution in real time.

York is such a complex character because on the one hand shes greed incarnate, but I wonder how taxing it must be to do nothing but sleep, eat, and use the bathroom all day just so everyone else can focus on their ideas and dreams. It seems outlandish to me that she’d decide to become a celestial dragon which probably isn’t too different from what she currently does all day long except she would be able to decide her purpose to some extent. There’s something sad about being a person and having had your life decided for you down to being a greedy person.

I never realized the weapon would have caused that waterfall in enies lobby lol

The GOAT i was waiting for your video !

Icelandic here 🇮🇸 Hakarl or Hákarl, means shark 🦈 We eat fermented shark just like Dorry and Groggy during our "Þorrablót", "holiday. named for the month of Þorri of the historical Icelandic calendar (corresponding to mid January to mid February), and blót, literally meaning sacrifice.

I guess it explains why the “ark” in fish-man island.

Athur doesn't always upload every week but when he does OH BOY take a seat and enjoy

I think Imu plans to flee the planet with the rest of his people. Maybe explaining the space suits and being located at the single highest place on the world

Thank you so much Artur! Your analysis are the best

Oda's ongoing beef with Geology continues

When the merry is getting burned, Luffy says the bottom of the ocean is a dark and lonesome place. Can't help but think of Imu. My personal theory is still that each different race lived on their own planet, and just how Enel destroyed his home Imu destroyed theirs and then continued to move to other planets. The people wouldn't like them and consider them creepy, so Imu would destroy each planet one by one. The survivors scaring each planet as they evacuate. All Imu wanted was a friend to share some sake with, but everyone was afraid

Gorosei: fishmen are so ungrateful. We gave yall flood and yall still complaining

Great video as always, Arthur! The hard aspect on 1112 is also a reference for how hard Warcury skin is, damaging Luffy's fist.

Hey, Arthur! I feel like it's part time I tell you that I look forward to your videos the most among those in the OP community. Love your research. Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep sailing strong!

been waiting for this

The best part about one piece is that as time goes on the past gets even better in ways we dont even expect.

I was doing a word puzzle while watching this video and at 14:10 when you said laguna I realised that was the answer to the word I was looking for lmao

Thanks for the knowledge!!

Now it makes sense why the celestial dragons live on top of the red line it was planned all along

I think it's pretty clear the "he" Vegapunk was referring to is Kizaru. Vegapunk knew that due to their friendship if the WG ordered Vegapunk's death Kizaru would likely insist on being the one to do it even though he wouldn't want to. And he was right, Kizaru landed the killing blow on Vegapunk. Vegapunk is refusing to pass judgement on Kizaru for killing him.

That Wind Waker reference was excellent. I was waiting for some creator to make it, 10/10

Vegapunk: "The world is going to sink into the ocean!" Blackbeard Pirates: "Seriously? After we all got OP devil fruit powers?"

4:12 deserted town with big cacti, could be whisky peak since that was a cacti island

Is this why they want to enslave the fishmen so much since they would technically be immune to the sea flooding.

With Murphy Napier implying Imu may be an Onmyodo, and the translation for Umibozu being “Sea Priest,” it wouldn’t surprise me if Imu is a Umibozu/Onmyodo hybrid.

Imu is actually the good guy and Luffy is secretly a villain 🦹‍♀️

My guess is if you destroy the red line, water sinks back to the hole underground

Vegapunk was talking about Kizaru. He, Vegapunk, has advanced observation haki. I mean he is the smartest man on the planet it ahould be obvious that he would have observation haki and can achieve advanced. He foresaw Kizaru skewering him but I think Kizaru actually cauterized and defibrillated Vegapunk after Saturn skewered him first. He just could not see the first attack from Saturn.

I don't think there's ever been a more thematically appropriate cover spread for a chapter called "Stalemate" than Robin using the other Straw Hats as chess pieces. And I want an actual chess set. And then play Luffy as the Queen and Nami as the King. I'm underwhelmed by Punk Records. I expected it just to be bits of grey matter everywhere, piled high in different mounds. Like a junkyard, landfill, or sand dunes of just brains. I love that this is an allegory to real life with the poles melting and rising sea levels. Also, I saw Morgans' line translated as "print news is dead.” I mean Vegapunk has now basically created radio and TV news.

please make more imu theories, love them!

Zanza music when talking about Imu. Perfection

Vegapunk may mean imu and us readers would think that but his in world audience is automatically going to assume he means Luffy since the last they knew he had kinapped vegapunk. And they’d be right to think that given the context and the fact they have no idea Imu exists. The only take away they could have is that the he is Luffy.

Just awesome. Thank you ❤

i love these videos :D

I feel seas level is artificial higher due to imu power like high tide that never goes out. Thats how he eradicate the everyone. He is trying to to do that same thing.nowbut roger started great pirate era where everycan can live and go on boat etc

More people need to know that the Motherflame is the energy source and not the weapon, it doesn't help that it was translated as mother FRAME aswell

I feel like Nika pre-dates one piece current 1000 years ish timeline. Like super ancient and even Saturn said, when he saw luffy in person, was, "NIKA!" - as if in a very familiar way.. if that's the case then does that mean the Gorosei, goes back as far as NIKA, NOT Joy Boy?

It makes me goosebumps 😱

I would say imu as is name suggest is diamatrically opposed to sea and anything natural. Hence he lives atop the red line farthest from it.

Nothing to say, perfect video! Parabéns ao brabo!

but as dragon mentioned about lack of food supply in holy land it is maybe due to the fact they do not have any fertile soil at top of red line same as the sky islands. So the great flood would lead the celestial dragons to starve right??

Notice how in the map of Wano the water level is first beneath the town, and then, in the second picture, above the town. A subtle, yet important detail

In the grand world of DF users being weak to sea water, sure would be a sight to see Shiki again with a floating boat or island....

There is a machine that causes Aqua Laguna but has a year cooldown. And the power source they had wasnt strong enough but now they have the perfect fuel the Mother Flame.

I have nothing to base it on , but I feel like Pandora was used for the previous Mother Flame. And it was named Pandora for the chaos it's existence would soon bring

I think imu is a umibozu, and was shown at thriller bark perhaps in a full form and ate a human human fruit a long time ago or ate a umibozu fruit gaining such powers and given zoans have multiple forms it could also be one of the few devil fruits that would actually get effected by the rising ocean because he'd be so massive

There could be also a slight different theory. Nerona could be related to Nero, o Black. If the sun is light, the moon would be the opposite. The OP world has multiple moons, which could cause a huge raising of the sea level. This could tie in the power to control the sea, with black beard feuits, the lunarians as well as the people who came down from the moon. Plus we know that there was an ancient and advanced civilization in one of the moons at least, with the automata that Eneru found.

These are just scattered high thoughts but what if Uranus is/on the moon and imu has control of it because of the relation with the ocean and the moon pull??

dont forget that alabasta, wano, drum kingdom, water seven , skypea, dresrosa, etc (maybe Ive missed something) everything that has something to do with the nancient kingdom are above sea level covered with walls...

Make a video reviewing the Japanese snacks box I think it will be fun.

Another Banger

Wonderful explanation. Really want to know the backstory of the gorosei and Imu-sama

Damn just realized Imu is Umin backwards and if you've played Yu-Gi-Oh we all know what umi is.

My thoughts & opinions on the chapter: 1. When reading the part where Bonney turned into a Giant, I now question if she will end up becoming a One Piece version of Rouge or Taskmaster from Marvel Comics? 2. While it was cool to see Bonney transform into a Giant, I am starting to wonder if it is really good for her character & even the story itself if she continues to imitate other people's abilities instead of coming up with her own unique fighting styles? 3. As much as I would like to know what Vegapunk really meant by how the world will sink to the ocean, will the Elders still try to convince them that the scientist is talking nonsense, or the world themselves won't really believe in Vegapunk's words?

Finally a new video 👒 Thanks for your effort I checked your channel quite often the last couple of weeks - refreshed but no video 🥲

Imu’s dream is the All Blue and Imu is a chef lmao

Sora Vinsmokes love Kusari is a weapon in ancient Japan. One held together by a chain. Chain reaction.

finally its been some time since last time!

Lol both Ohara channels having the same in video ad for the same chapter

I think the one piece world is “flat” in the past seeing how red line serve as the border, or is it a mechanism that prevent half of the world from sinking

I've been convinced for years that Imu is actually meant to be Yam, the ancient Canaanite god of the sea (spelled literally YM or IM in Canaanite script) - Hebrew still uses the word yam for the sea. It's also a homonym with yom, the word for "day" or "era", which could sort of make sense as well.

16:38- maybe instead of making the Devil Fruits created by the Ancient Kingdom, Imu wasn't against them and drowned them out of spite with somehow Haki causing them to turn into monsters.

the creatures in the Florian Triangle are not Umi Boshi but a more modern cryptid called a Kabagon aka Hippo Monster which has red eyes and nostrils on its forehead spotted by Japanese seafearers off the NZ coastline

Not for "a great cleansing" but for "the great cleansing"

I just thought, the reason York wants to be a celestial dragon must be due to knowing about the world flooding, and since she believes the red line will be the only thing left she can only survive by siding with imu. Though also since she could make sky islands idk 🤷‍♂️

one little issue i wanted to point out but didn’t iceburg have blueprints to the counter-pluton and not pluton itself?

Why is everyone assuming that Vegapunk mentionig "he" is a refference to Imu. He might be talking about Joy Boy being the one who will bring the flood destroying the Red line.

Think you slick with that drake reference with that sun from the world comment 😂

8:46 wasn't vegapunk talking about kizaru?

not gonna lie, I was blindsided by this. G O D A

Was that Marine HQ doing the wiretapping ? Wasnt that Grus(sp?) in that panel ?
