The fact that oda kept alabasta important 20 years later is crazy, definitely a goda moment

Lily in just 2 chapters solidified herself as the most important female character in One Piece. Without her their would be no One Piece, story OR treasure. Lily has become the greatest foil to the World Government lasting Forever.

Liam, you are an absolute treasure. Please don't underestimate the positive impact your channel has on us fictional Pirate fans.

Important addendum: do NOT mix the rice at any point while it’s simmering, because it becomes gloopy and hard. Take it off the heat when it’s done and let it cool down for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork.

Sabo is starting to become one of my favourite characters. He's been so influential in the story and has a lot of ties to characters with some really cool moments. Don't think anyone can call him an ace clone anymore. He tackles things with a more tactical mindset and seems almost more dependable than he was.

My theory on D, it’s not a clan or group of people it’s a chosen name that has something to do with supporting or honouring joy boy and his ideology. But because it’s been so many years the bearers of D have forgotten, so they just assume it’s a family name.

With Dragon being the most wanted man, I wonder if he’s seen Imu as well and just never been caught 🤔

The artists of this channel has absolutely made this channel into what it is, along with Liam. It’s also cool just to see how it’s developed.

I was discussing this with a friend, and we reached the conclusion that it would be thematically appropiate for Im to be a traitor to the D clan. Considering how much relevance "Inherited will" has on the series, maybe Im was born as a member to the D clan, but decided to seek a different sort of freedom: one that allowed it to "break free" from the Will of D.

The two best parts of One Piece: 1. The release of each chapter 2. The accompanying Grand Line Review video

We have a likely immortal character with access to an island busting sky weapon but the theory of Imu op-op personality swapping into the body of someone who could control an ancient weapon seems a lot less popular than the all but confirmed immortality would suggest. Doflamingo pretty clearly linked both op-op operations to the "treasure of Maryjoa" and "true power". These fruit shenanigans also allow for Lili's personality to be imprisoned in a certain giant wandering elephant. They also set-up a very interesting future role for one Trafalgar D Water Law.

I think we all are a bit to focused on one final villain. It seems more like Oda is setting up all sorts of different groups with different motivations that will come into a larger conflict.

Egghead has quickly become my most favorite arc in One Piece

For the haki thing with logias. Crocodile in Alabasta very specifically says he trained hard to MAKE himself turn into sand reflexively when he was hit by an attack, so that it would pass right through him. The fact that he took efforts to explain that very much implies that logia users do NOT automatically turn into their element when hit, they have to do it themselves.

My headcanon theory is that D stands for (not dawn) Dream and watching Imu or Mu using some sort of power, with all the silhouettes around, be it Gorosei or not, it seems like scenes from a Nightmare (completely contrasting with Dream). So, maybe we need the Sun to shine and take away the nightmares and people can dream freely (we can also day dream). After all, "people's dreams never end/die". It's also fumny how the shape of the letter D resembles a wide smile

This past year, I got one of my friends to start watching One Piece for the first time. They've been binging it since and they've finally made it to the Wano arc. My boy fell hard into the One Piece universe and I love it. I can't wait for him to fully catch up and start reading the manga. It is so hard to not say anything when so much is going on in modern One Piece.

So most of what I got from this chapter is that Lili was the only ruler from the 20 kingdoms who didn't want to participate in the sham that is the World Government and got killed for her "betrayal", but not before sending out that letter. Though I think she sent multiple letters, or at least 2. One to Alabasta, one to the Ancient Kingdom which led to the poneglyphs being made. For the time being I'm saying the Five Elders are simply vessels Imu bestowed a fraction of their power to in exchange for complete subservience, that power probably being the ability to control the devils themselves without needing the fruit as a conduit. Imu's ultimate form being some type of devil dragon would be pretty cool. Kaido is the dragon of the seas, Monkey D. Dragon is the dragon of the land, and Imu is the dragon of the skies overseeing everything below. Bonus points if it has some type of moon/lunar theme

There is a misunderstanding. Cobra was attacked by the shadow arrow/devil's tail (probably by Imu) the first time. Then Sabo entered the room and attacked the 5 elders, believing he killed them but they transformed in the other 5 shadow figures (the minotaur/devil one, the big mouth one, the one with the "awakening/mythical cloud", the bird looking one and the big moustache Gorbaciov). So I don't think that they transforming is part of Imu's powers but them transforming to use the zoan's durability to tank Sabo's attack

Dude, your animators, editors, and yourself are going balls to the walls with how well your videos look with the 2D pictures

Hi Liam! Is there any chance you could make a video to give a bit of a review of everything that happened at the Reverie? The story so far has been chopped up in many tiny pieces and disseminated across 100s of chapters. Also something similar about everything that's taking place on Egghead island would be useful.

The bird looking one could be: Legendary bird fruit; Model griffin

I've also realized that this gives Dragon and Luffy a reason to meet(officially) finally because one thing I've always wondered was how they would meet (if ever) because it is very clear that Luffy has no intention of looking for Dragon, and even though it does look like Dragon cares for Luffy he seems to be busy doing Revolutionary stuff most of the time. Now the Revolutionaries have a reason to seek out the Straw Hats, unless Sabo, Iva, and Dragon deem it's fine to only tell Dragon since he is also a D

I think Imu’s ability is like gear 5 Luffy’s. He was able to create the shadow monsters in the same way Luffy’s toon force was able to affect his surroundings.

I absolutely loved 1085 it was really well setup and written to show off Imu and the Gorosei. I'm starting to get excited on how exactly the story will progress. I like seeing villains killing characters we like it brings tension to the story, I would like to see that in real time and not a flashback though.

actually answering the Rice question seriously is part of why I love this channel lol

love the fact you took the time to help someone with cooking tips, only adjustment i would make is that you do NOT start at low temperature but at high temperature with the water only. the ratio you said i correct and once your water is boiling THEN reduce to very low heat and add your rice at the same time and then cover. once the water is all absorbed your rice is ready ( usually a little more than 15 minutes depending on quantity ). fluff with a fork and you are ready to serve

It feels like half of a chapter of the flashback, two pages of Sabo, Dragon, and Ivankov talking. Then we might go back to Egghead with two pages setting up another possible mystery, or cliffhanger. You know the ship with Saturn on it arriving on egghead, or the blackbeard ship docked. This is how I see the next chapter going.

I love that a hated villain has gotten a chance to shine in recent times, now all we need is Foxy to be revealed as a mythical zoan and we're all set!

11:02 Also. rinse the rice twice, then let it soak for 10 minutes before cooking.

Caesar and Caribou traveling with the straw hats I was fine with but I don’t think Wapol can travel with them it would feel weird. Wapol killer Dr. Hiruluk and I don’t think chopper will let that go. that would be like having Arlong on the ship.

for kobra's death smile, im not so sure, if he married into the Nefertari family (which he most likely did) he wouldn't have the D in blood, and probably wouldn't even have it in name

I still believe that shanks will be the last foe for luffy to overcome. Luffy's pirate journey started with shanks, it'll be poetic for it to end with shanks.

Im convinced the shadow powers from Imu and The Elder Stars is something new, Oda love revealing a new power or concept every major arc. He takes the first bit to show it, the next bit to explain it, and the last bit for the Strawhats mostly Luffy to counter/learn it themselves to be on an even playing field. Its entirely possible it is a devil fruit power used by Imu but then how would Saint Garcia use it near Egghead/on it? If its not a new power its something devil fruit or haki related. Maybe manifesting your Haki into an image for others to cower to?

Lmfaoo I love how Liam just casually answers the rice question like ya this is one piece grandline review we answer anything😂

i dont think vivi will become a permanent member of the straw hats, but i do belive for a little while we will have vivi aspart of the crew again

I totally think that Imu is 1 of the 20 Kings that had the eternal youth surgery. Then just outlived the other kings from the shadows.

Dragon's reaction to Imu is going to be crazy..

W video. I read Alabasta last year during the summer because I wanted to reignite the flame for my love for One Piece. I had so much negative feeling towards Wano I felt like I was beginning to forget to why I loved One Piece.

I believe that based on how imu most definitely knew Lilly was a traitor, and probably suspected that she was a D. And still tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, and even seemingly was sad or disappointed when hearing she was a D might imply some connection. Maybe it was child-parent, romantic, friendly, or admiration, but I think imu had some connection with lily that was strong enough for imu to want to see lily in the best light possible. Maybe when imu looked at vivis picture they we’re reminded of memories of lily, and couldn’t bring themselves to tear it up.

What if LiLi is actually Zunisha 😮

(Apologies for length. Just thorough with my thoughts is all.) My current theories: Theory 1- Imu being alive is tied to devil fruits continued existence. All the devil fruits we know were created during the war in the Void Century by Imu's power (maybe the original devil fruit?), and If Imu dies, all devil fruits either stop regrowing and/or their devil fruit will regrow somewhere and another could get it. Theory 2- The important lost knowledge is that "rulers" of the past were chosen by those who had a or a few specific devil fruits, and one of those fruits was the ability to create devil fruits that could be useful for certain needs. When war broke out against a brutal ruler and the ruling classes, many different types of fruit were created by them to use in the war, including The Hito Hito no Mi, which was tied to the idea that "human imagination is limitless and therefore the most powerful of all". Imu used trickery to influence the ruler(s) saying it would be one of if not THE strongest in the arsenal. After it was created, they were betrayed and it was given to/taken by Joyboy and eaten. It helped turn the tides of the war. When the rulers were taken out, Imu took the devil fruit the same way Blackbeard did with Whitebeard and stepped up as ruler. When It was over, Joyboy thought he was safe and was killed by Imu (maybe by betrayal after getting what they wanted.) Afterwards, they couldn't find the fruit. Knowing the power it had, the danger of being used against them, it was a threat. The alliance Imu started, creating the world government, they ordered to eradicate any knowledge of it, anyone who knew of the fruit's existence, and any who would seek the knowledge of the Void Century. But before any of that could be fully done, Joyboy put down ponoglyphs. Derp theory- Hito Hito no Mi grew where Joyboy was buried after his fellows recovered his body/remains. No one knew except those who brought him there to be away from anyone that might mistakenly disturb his resting place. Someone found it and thought they could get a shiny berry for the fruit not knowing what it was. Changed hands until it was intercepted by Shank's people, believing it had to be super important for CP to be involved. Okay, I'm done. Much love and pat yourself on the back for reading more than a tweet without throwing a giant fit. Your brain hasn't rotted out yet. =P

Never before has one preview thumbnail summarized a chapter so well! Didnt even need to read the chapter. Cheers!

I think the smile at death is more than just about being a D. It's more about those individuals having accomplished what they set out to do and having no regrets. I also think that Rocinante might fulfill this criteria as well. Whitebeard didn't because he still had the regret of failing to save Ace or neglecting Squard.

i have a bad feeling that vivi will become closer to wapol instead lol

09:39 Oh my god, I just remembered what I first thought when the chapter came out and we saw the silhouette on the cameras. Because some people said it could be Saturn, I thought: "Unless Saturn is some shadowy creature going goblin mode it isn't him." and now we just straight up see that all 5 Elders are strange shadowy creatures who can go goblin mode. I kinda agree that it could be from Imu's power, like an extension of Imu or created by Imu. It just looks more like something like Moria's shadow and not just straight up silhouettes.

"Toon power can only be countered with other Toon power." *Starts to have Yu-Gi-Oh PTSD flashbacks*

my expectations towards Egghead thicken. With all that unfolding I can't help but think everything culminates at Egghead. The Strawheads, some Blackbeards and a Gorosei. Vivi wants to meet-up with Luffy and Sabo wants to meet-up with Vivi. The Revolutionaries have more than enough reasons to also pull up on Egghead, the chance to eliminate a Gorosei (since he's been seperated and outside of the Holy Land) is just too enticing. This is just a crazy amout of buildup >_>

Crazy theory time: Vivi is going to need to hide out somewhere that the World Government can't follow her, so she'll head to Wano. There, she'll meet up with Yamato, Momonosuke, and Kinemon, where they'll end up bonding over their shared connection to Luffy. Eventually news of Straw Hats' situation will reach Wano, and the four of them will set sail as the self-proclaimed 2nd Division of the Straw Hat Pirates to reunite with Luffy and the rest of the crew.

I love how Wapol is 3 letters from being rearranged to Wario, he even got the mustache

9:39 I think we can safely assume that was either York or S-Snake. The problem is, most people are assuming the Gorosei and Imu are actual shadows and they're almost 100% sure NOT, this is classic Oda showing and hiding characters at the same time.

we have dog-flamingo lets have kai-dog too[day 154]

The biggest mystery in one piece is still the Florian Triangle. What are those creature and how important are they to the lore? Its bigger than Zhunesha for goodness sake.

The fact that an enemy has haki at this point in the story is kinda expected tbh

The fact that you gave rice cooking advice is everything to me.

GOD DAMN. WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE OLD THEORIES. Are we gonna see Gin again? But also, we're all counting on the 10 crew members because that's what Luffy said so, but what if Oda comes out of nowhere and says that Luffy doesn't know how to count to ten and gives us more crew members?

I have some theories for some of the things that could happen in one piece after the last chapters: Theory 1: Devil Fruits and their Origins - Devil Fruits were once real people, and anyone who was not at the location of the 20 kingdoms when the world was transformed became a Devil Fruit. - It seems strange to me that Celestial Dragons like Charlois don't possess some of the strongest Devil Fruits. - Zoan type fruits could have originally been real animals. - The reason Doflamingo wasn't accepted back into Mariejois could be because he had eaten a Devil Fruit and not the killing of his father. - King's appearance with rubber-like abilities and the possibility of Joyboy being a Lunarian could be connected. - You might say how is it that joyboy had such a big strawhat (his mom was a lunarian and a size queen) - Imu and the elder stars might have natural-born powers instead of Devil Fruits. - Devil Fruit awakenings could allow fully awakened users to communicate with the real person in the devil fruit. - The term "Devil Fruits" and the portrayal of enemies of the World Government as devils like Nico Robin could have a symbolic meaning. Theory 2: The One Piece's Nature It's unclear to me why Imu or Akainu doesn't simply destroy the One Piece, which makes the presence of the bottle of sake unlikely to me. - The reason for not reaching the One Piece for 800 years remains unknown. - If Joyboy or Lily's story (Cause roger called it a story) is embarrassing for Imu, it could explain why the World Government go so hard against anyone trying to find the One Piece. - The One Piece might hold some significance or have sentimental value for Imu, which prevents its destruction. - The construction of the bridge could be used to reach the One Piece somehow. Additional Theory: Pell's Fate There are two possibilities for Pell's fate for me: - He could be an ancient weapon that cannot transform into his battleship form or a construct that could be reassembled. - Pell could be one of the four special Devil Fruit users, alongside Marco, emphasizing the rarity of their flight-related Devil Fruit abilities. This is just my headcannon and not fully fleshed out yet cause we don't have all of the puzzle pieces yet. Also english is not my first language so this isn't written perfectly

I love how you just casually answered a cooking question.

Never thought that I'd learn how to cook rice in a grandlinereview video 😂

I've been preaching for like a month that Sherohoshi is most likely a D. I think there's a lot of Ds. Probably a bunch of random Minks, giants,Fishman, Skypians, Wanoians, etc. This chapter kinda confirms it from Imu saying that people that have the D. Don't know about it

Oden could still be a D member as far as we know.. Now that characters can have the D attached to them retrospectively, like the Nefertari family. The Kozuki can also be a D clan, making Momonosuke also a D

Liam, I have this theory that came up while you were talking about Zunesha being Lily. I think Lily, being a "D" clan member, had the voice of all things and communicated with Zunesha to spread the ponegliffs across the world. It would make sense why there there would be a road ponegliff on him, and why there would be one in Alabasta. It may even be how one got on Skypiea. That also would explain the punishment Zunesha would have committed 800 years ago. I would love to get your thoughts on this!

I love that you went and threw in an answer that rice question. xD

With Luffy and blackbeard being allies it a) means that Blackbeard is the 'true' final boss and b) will be them becoming unknowing allies. The only way I can see it is the Straw hat and blackbeard pilots both chose to fight Im at the same time which is entirely possible.

Considering Blackbeard's power to steal the powers of others, I could see Imu being dealt with as the penultimate showdown only for Teach to steal whatever Imu's power is, leaving Luffy to now have to battle the combined powers of Teach and Imu to claim the One Piece.

3:24 YESSSS!!!! that thought has been buzzing in the back of my mind for a while now

The imaginary panel that I have in my head of imu holding up a picture of Vivi and pointing to it after the 5 elders ask which light should be extinguished makes me laugh

I think that Imu is lucky roux because they both have the same siluett, and in episode 420 of Two Piece, we saw their backflashes, and they were both very similar.

Thanks for the rice instructions. I didn't knew where to get this information

It's so awesome seeing how many different ways the Gorosei and Imu's power theories are going. I'm thinking they're inspired by The Seven Sages in Journey of The West, which already has some parallels with Sun Wukong, but the concept that they're all one is really nice!

I like the Where The Wild Things Are theory. It just makes so much sense.

For the time, I enjoy the fact that we are off egg head, we get to see what the other characters are up too, doing a little bit of exploration and getting info dump about the one piece world.

I can't wait to see vivi's interactions with robin franky brook and jinbe

The Logo of the Revolutionary Army resembles IMU. We can see his EYES, CROWN and MOUTH. Maybe Dragon is trying to expose him.

i adore how he just decides to give us a rice cooking lesson

I didn't expect to learn rice cooking in this video 👌

Right now, the only prediction I can confidently make is that whatever happens next is going to be fucking awesome.

Couple random theories. 1. Imu can somehow hold multiple devil fruits and Blackbeard is related to Imu in some way. 2. The massive shadow creature they saw a while back in the story actually was an elder in shadow form and they can become very large.

I never comment on your videos but I’ve watch damn near all of your videos and I just want to say thank you for just being you

The scene in the throne room reminded a lot of people of Where the Wild Things Are

Love being well informed on the fictional pirates we love I appreciate you're channel Liam!

I just realized how big balls of steel Morgans has. He just took under his wing 2 of the most key figures the world goverment is looking for, and he must know what they are capable of.

I think Vivi’s mom is the member of the D clan, Cobra is not a important family member. It’s common one piece knowledge that important parents find their kids, abandon their kids, beat their kids or die for their kid’s. The only thing Cobra did was perve on his kid, and pay Nami for it.

Franky would love to meet Wapol. Everyone would have a meh reaction while Franky is star struck.

Came for the one piece discussion, stayed for the advice on cooking rice

Bro that rice bit was helpful af always love the videos

I still think Imu has an ink ink fruit and writes history with it, just cannot erase the poneglyphs cause of the haki thing

Wapol could become a character similar to Yoki from FMA BROTHERHOOD, where he was an antagonist and became a protagonist for his own survival fighting with the straw hats because he knows his life is forfeit if he doesn't.

Thank you for mentioning a rice cooker. I would have been very disappointed if you relied entirely on the stove for rice 😂

05:47 That's not exactly true, not all D-Clan-Members we saw dying or about to die were smiling in this moment. Trafalgar D. Water Law for example was crying (pretty much the opposite of smiling if you ask me) when Doflamingo was about to crush his head with his feet. Not sure if this is the only example, maybe someone can think of another. Just wanted to make a point that if Cobra wasn't smiling at the moment of his death, he isn't a failure or dissapointment as a D. ...or at least not more than Law that is.😅

After hundreds of episodes grand line review has yet to post one review of the grand line.

I think your channel and the community around it is the only one that theorize and speculate on a rational level instead of saying random bullshit, declaring it as the truth thanks!

I didn’t expect him to start talking about rice in the middle of the video

Thanks, Liam, now i know how to properly cook rice, and i didn't even ask for that nor do i posess rice for cooking it, but i appreciate the sudden culinary lesson anyway. (that random off-topic sudden thing kinda reminded me of how random tekking101 is, and i liked it)

Really can't wait for all of these sidetrack Egghead (and just Egghead) episodes to be animated, its really going to be banger after banger

The smiling while dying thing makes me wonder if we're gonna find out Oden and Momo are D's too

I know this is my personal head canon but ever since the reveal of Lili Nefertari, I have been under the impression that Cobra married into the Nefertari family. Because of Vivi, Titi, and now Lili it makes more sense to me that Alabasta is a more matriarchal society and Cobra took the Nefertari name when he married Titi. As the King he would of course know the secrets of the Royal family but I don't think he is a natural D. It probably doesn't matter much but I don't think we will see a Cobra death smile because of this.

Kind of strange that all of imus wanted posters ended up being "D" besides a certain mermaid who now it feels like will probably also be revealed as one as well

Imu is the Sea Devil mentioned by Shanks when talking about Devil Fruits with Buggy in the Orange Town arc.

Sooooo….. we all know that Oda likes norse mythology. What if Imu is either the world serpent or Nidhoggr?
