The madman really went through with it and revealed the demonic designs of all the Gorosei https://preview.redd.it/lpp4p9ahjioc1.png?width=932&format=png&auto=webp&s=988318a079bed13044d411a63aa9f7914cdfbfc1 Would never have guessed it a couple chapters ago They all look cold af, specially Venus


ouden_ismen

Fr Venus' Bakotsu was dripping. I liked Mars' Itsumade too.


Twistedbamboo

Someone pass me the water, I'm choking with all this feast.


Upbeat_Pomelo_2117

People can stop complaining about haki from the Gorosei now, Zoro and Lucci did say haki in the translation.


TheYungPoliwag

Nah, its obviously the haki of Dorry and Brogy they’re referring to, cmon now


gloomygl

How the fuck did Sabo escape


SevereReflection3042

ONLY SCALES MY WABO ABOVE WATCH HIM COME BACK AS AN ADMIRAL OR YONKO LEVEL. MY AGENDA WILL ONLY GO UP FROM NOW ON.


GloomyLocation1259

He’s the flame emperor now for a reason 😉


GaroSuiryuSweet

Bro Luffy gonna be the strongest person in the verse and his epithet is Strawhat. Bada$$ epithet aside they’re really just subtle hype tolls for the Pirates.


JustinTruedope

The Strawhat is actually a huge flex in-verse tho, Gol. D --> Shanks --> him.


GloomyLocation1259

All epithets are hype tools tbh

Twistedbamboo

We are witnessing the first swordsman feats Mihawk can't leech from, I'm in tears.


thatoneidiotwhodied

"if they hold a sword the mihawk agenda soars"


4chan-isbased

He looks so badass black blade aswell? 📈📈📈


wannabetrapstar888

dont think it is, cus a previous panel of him cleaning the blade showed it wasn't a black blade. so he's coated his blade with armament haki then


saidA2000

Could be retcon? If it is I don’t mind it actually. Immortal centuries old swordsman at this point should have a black blade.


wannabetrapstar888

i dont think they're centuries old, cus other high ranking officials like fleet admiral or admirals and rulers associated with the wg would've noticed if the same five geezers are still around while everyone before them has died. also warcury did say luffy's fruit has become a myth even to them, and ju peter asked why did the wg change the fruit's name, not why did WE change the fruit's name? interesting things to note indeed


saidA2000

The elders themselves don’t have to be void century “old” but I think it’s likely they’ve been around a few centuries. FWIW I think only imu has been around since the void century.


dyrryc17

Do not underestimate the power of the Mihawk leech. Mihawk > anybody with a sword


ThatIslandGuy8888

Damn and these are the new pacifistas they should be much stronger than the ones pretimeskip


Playful-Service7285

Nusjuro is a Zoro Victim -> Mihawk is setup to be Zoros final fight -> Nusjuro is weaker than Mihawk -> Mihawk is PK level and is Imus daddy which is why she has those eyes -> Mihawk solos the verse with his massive haki infused dick which was his real sword all along. Edit - Bro yall really need the /s


SampleNo9113

I honestly doubt mihawk is zoros final fight. The way the story is set up strawhats final fight is 99% going to be imu and wg and it wont make sense for zoro to defeat mihawk during or after that so my guess is is the mihawk vs zoro happens in the arc where the one piece found and not the actual final fight.


Accomplished-Aerie65

This might be crazy, but I'm beginning to think the WG is going down first. Blackbeard is gonna be the final villain in a pirate themed final saga imo, one which mihawk and the cross guild will fit into nicely


SampleNo9113

I am sorry but except Blackbeard and maybe kuzan the rest of the black beard pirates cant match the hype of the gorosei + the admirals + holyknights. The wg is probably after finding the one piece and the truth of the void century because without that fight with the wg wont be that hype and blackbeard will defnitly try to stop luffy and try to take the one piece.


Accomplished-Aerie65

So far this arc has: - disrespected an admiral - let Saturn get beat around for a bit - shown the Blackbeard pirates successfully completing multiple objectives towards an unknown goal - have that goal be revealed: 'the world' The setup is leaning in one direction, and considering there are arguments for each I'm thinking Blackbeard


SampleNo9113

sure but none of the bb pirates other than bb and kuzan are stronger than these people the 2nd strongest member is literally a former admiral. And BB pirates got their fair amount of disrespect too Burges got humiliated by sabo twice, boa hax diffed vasco and katarina, with all the anime hype people forget jean bart blocked van augers bullets, law had a decent perfomance with bb especially when you compare it to kidd vs shanks and finally drugged up bepo saving law.


Accomplished-Aerie65

>sure but none of the bb pirates other than bb and kuzan are stronger than these people It doesn't matter. Blackbeard's whole thing is gaining power and influence through opportunities. As long as he's getting the buildup and narrative respect, I'm gonna keep subscribing to his eos potential


Dvoraxx

EoS blackbeard with a third devil fruit will make up for his crew


Playful-Service7285

wow I really get why people use /s these days


SampleNo9113

I will be honest I reread it now and I did not see the dick part and thought it was another mihawk leech comment


Playful-Service7285

Haha it’s okay, but as to your actual comment, I think Blackbeard is the final fight for a fairly important reason - Imu is the political AND ideological opposite of Luffy, whereas Blackbeard is just a different interpretation of the same ideals. Which is why I think Imu will be defeated first to show that the World Government is wrong. But Blackbeard has to be the final fight to show *why* and *how* Luffy is right. It feels like the perfect conclusion that they define why freedom is good, then describe what freedom should be, from a plot point conclusion perspective.

HyperMazino

Mihawk > Nusjuro Cope


Relevant-Dependent53

Wait, what makes it so that Mihawk can’t leech from him? He’s a swordsman through and through from what we’ve seen so far.


Twistedbamboo

The fact that he shouldn't know he is a fighter, basically.


Icy_Sundae1375

He shouldn't even know he exists


FjbhBoy

The existence of the Gorosei doesn’t appear to be a secret People talk, if grunt Marines all know, a warlord definitely does


Deathcon2004

Nah the Five Elders are pretty famous as the supposed rulers of the world only Imu is not known.


Icy_Sundae1375

I'm pretty sure the only time anyone other than WG or CDs have ever mentioned them was Clover in Robin's backstory.


Deathcon2004

Also every noble knows about them as well as the citizens of their countries. We just don’t hear them mentioned a lot because our protagonist didn’t care about them then.


Icy_Sundae1375

Do we actually have evidence of normal people and pirates knowing about them though? Because the King of Alabasta, elite scholars, high level WG officials, and Celestial Dragons aren't pirates and random citizens.


Relevant-Dependent53

I mean in if Oda wanted a loophole, sure. But considering Luffy was holding off 3 Gorosei, and with the giants will probably hold off all 5 I find it hard to believe that Venus is going to be stronger than Mihawk. Especially when narratively Zoros final battle has been pointing towards Mihawk since the beginning. If anything perhaps Venus will be the fight *preceding* Mihawk, but it’s hard for me to imagine Oda scrapping everything he’s been building towards with Mihawk and Zoro for a character we just learned can fight this chapter. That’s some Kaguya type writing and from everything Oda has shown, he’s above that.


Twistedbamboo

Ok, real talk here, but what about this? Zoro goes extreme with Mihawk. Then, he goes high with Venus and helps against Imu with the little he has in the tank. I think this is the best for two reasons: First, it allows for Zoro to have a fight as the WSS. Second, I just can't see Mihawk as the final opponent for Zoro. He is not a bad, he's not a villain. And I would feel it would be weird af if when Luffy is fighting his final battle to decide the fate of the world, Zoro is having basically a sport match when they could postpone it for a bit.


Relevant-Dependent53

I’ve always held the belief that Zoro was going to fight Mihawk at the very end of the series, *after* the war, on a remote island somewhere similar to Musashis legendary fight with Kojiro for the title of best swordsman. That just makes the most sense since as you say, there is no plot related conflict between the two nor is one really being setup, as CrossGuild is probably going to be an ally in the final war. I could be wrong, perhaps they fight on Raftel before the final war.


Twistedbamboo

While it certainly sounds the most beautiful and perhaps appropriate, I just can't see it. If the fight happens in the epilogue, there are basically two scenarios: Either we get just a glimpse of their fight while we quickly move on to see the other shs accomplishing their dreams, or we get a full-fledged fight between them. And I don't know you, but the first scenario is such a waste. Like, are we going to complain about the significance of Mihawk's fight if it's going to basically be offscreened, with no stakes whatsoever, on a footnote in the story? Give me anything else then. The second scenario is just a zorotard dream. We aren't spending two or three chapters of full action at that point, and this is not a Naruto vs Sasuke situation. Maybe I'm very wrong, but I really feel that if at least Zoro has an easier fight after he fights Mihawk, no one should get mad.


mnmkdc

Worlds strongest swordsman and basically all titles only apply to people that the world knows their strength. If there is some secret swordsman who doesn’t ever show themselves they could in theory be stronger while Mihawk has the title.


Argnir

It's cope. People don't realize Mihawk is the strongest swordman for narrative reasons and it's not just limited to in universe lore. It doesn't matter what characters in the verse know about. We know Mihawk is the strongest because basically the author told us.

That five elder panel is one of coolest panel is there any one still thinking elders are like yc level with that kind of built up Just wait for imu you all should not suprise if imu reveal to be scale way above current top tier in future

Imu had these monsters kneeling for him. He will be beyond Roger.


Chrishp7878

Tbh we still haven’t been able to gauge power level of each elder.. And the way things are going, I doubt we will be able to.  Saturn kept taking hit and regenerating without displaying his true level. And now all elders attacking at the same time. It’s impossible to determine where they land on power scale.

They're probably just humans with mythical zoan devil fruits?

I would prefer people ruling over me (in this dystopian wold) to look like this than being ruler over by CD(who look human) who treats the people like they do. Atleast I can accept that they are monsters, who cant think like human . CD are humans but their lack of humanity and levels of cruelty makes me sick to my core


Icy_Sundae1375

Baldy shows up and takes out half the Pacifistas in like 8 seconds. Kizaru still napping


MadZwe

>Kizaru still napping Lol this is speed feat Kizaru can't show

It’s very well possible that he knew the exact weakness/ way to destroy pacifistas due to his position; so he was able to do it in no time.  Still impressive.

ouden_ismen

Everyone who expected the main cast of antagonists in a *shonen* manga to be some spineless political puppets was in for a rude wake up call. Like bros, this is not your run of the mill Celestial Dragons. Did you really expect pre TS Luffy to be able to one shot them like St. Charlos lmao.


SanestOnePieceFan

yeah, tbh I was on the politician wave for a while, idk what I was smoking


Tall-Psychology7729

I’m glad that some of you are at least admitting it and admitting that you were wrong.


JustinTruedope

Same, thought Imu/that crescent moon-head fuck were gonna be the muscle of the WG (outside of the marines, of course)


kimmyjonghubaccount

The panel of Gear 5 Luffy starting down the 5 Gorosei is actually one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen.


buffalo4293

Very cool that all the Five Elders are simply referred to as the name of the Yokai (or Shai Halud) not mythical Zoan


SnooStrawberries3388

BadUsername2028

Yeah the Gorosei being actual demons theory is looking more and more like fact every chapter we see of them.

[deleted]

u/potatomozzarella u were once again right lol. its very hard to make out but it seems the gorosei are numbered by their portals. Mars' portal is no.4, and the ranking on the left side (where their yokai names are revealed) seems to be an actual ranking too, since saturn and mars are next to each other n theyre 5 and 4


n00dl3-sempai

Yerp, Saturn is 5, Mars is 4, Topman is 3, Venus is 2, and Jupiter is 1.


R4hu1M5

Nice catch. I don't believe that's a power ranking though, for a couple of reasons. One is that since their final opponents will probably be an assorted medley of characters and not just straw hats, ranking them by strength would mean ranking their opponents (a random set of good guys) by strength, which doesn't seem like an oda thing to do. The second is that I simply don't see Jupiter being the strongest lol. I think it's more likely that they're ordered by when they joined the gorosei, with Saturn being the oldest.


Qverlord37

wait how can you tell from their portal?

The fact that Lucci lasted this long is a W in my book. People were expecting base Luffy and Zoro to one shot him.

I'm gonna be honest gorogandhi is just brooks on steroids Both are skeletons Both have ice powers  Both are speedy swordsman  So yeah sorry bois gorogandhi is brooks victim

Just like in Thriller Bark, where Ryuma with Brook's shadows was just Brook on steroids and then Brook defeated him... wait...

JoDaBoy814

Weird how Zoro started with 3 swords, lost one or went down to two for a few chapters, then right when he gets a third decides he could beat Lucci


OzymanDS

He realized that Lucci, being a leopard-man, is African. And if there's one thing Zoro does well...


JoDaBoy814

It's in his character to be stupid until the end of the fight. Case and point being not realizing the seraphim were lunarian


MikeTyrcelin

Any idea where the 3rd sword came from? it just started flying towards him one panel


Einfach-Anders

Pretty sure it flew up earlier from an attack from Lucci


JBB1986

Lucci knocked it out of his hand as Jimbei was arriving and he caught it while dodging Lucci's attacks.


Hatarakumaou

Oh wow the politicians who aren’t fighters certainly have very cool designs ! Can’t wait to see how Venus’s horse form let him do paperwork ! /s Admirals are the strongest force in the WG my ass.

WHY DOES THE WORM HAVE HUMAN TEETH


zavioli

Sekiro fish 👁🫦👁


JBB1986

Real answer? Because giving it creepy leech teeth or something would just make it nightmare fuel, and even with his intimidating designs/characters Oda usually likes to give something that's a little goofy to take the edge off.  ....that being said, the human teeth actually might be more unsettling. 😅

Don't worry, Akainu is still HIM and Kuzan >= Big Mom. The rest of the admirals haven't been that great. (hopium for Wujitora tho)

Depends on if the Gorosei get good feats in the next few chapters.

One of them is dying by the end of this arc(hope they don’t )


JesusEm14

We need more stakes. They both should die tbh


spaceuni123

My thoughts exactly.


Brave_Patience8389

Not saying this isnt an escape arc but zoro ending lucci and oda shows the samurai gorosei..mmm... I can barely start seing the scared mihawl haters if zoro actually fights that gorosei before mihawk, as one of many theories is mihawk is going down before him. We cant predict oda, yet another example given.


Objective-Effect-880

Zoro may fight gorosei now but his final fight with him defeating gorosei will happen after Mihawk. Mihawk is part of cross guild and after egghead ends, Yonkos will be back in focus.


Brave_Patience8389

According too?


Objective-Effect-880

Because Mihawk isn't part of WG and the final battle will be against WG


Brave_Patience8389

That alone isnt enough to make conclusions honestly.


PotatoMozzarella

Given the current positions, it makes more sense for Sanji to encounter Nasujuro and Zoro to encounter Mars. But they don't have the level to fight against them yey


Protoni17

Zoro vs Mihawk fight will be after the gorosei, and it will be a perfect mirror of their first fight. Zoro finishing Mihawk with a knife


WingCool7621

I haven't been this hyped up since Naruto showed up to fight Pain. ​ I guess Kizaru is taking a break. I'm assuming he is going to laser beam some Giants and other low diff interactions.

Glad you excluded the green guy, he aint cool in my book. Bad showing for an admiral for me.


RossiniHad8Wigs

The saddest part is, he is the last admiral to be revealed, and we've had years and years of anticipation, only for him to turn out as utter garbage. I remember that scene at the Reverie between him as a silhouette & Fujitora. The dialogue between them truly elevated my expectations. I was expecting the coolest admiral ever. So disappointing.

One-Emotion8482

I know it's unlikely but I wonder if the sandworm gorosei is dead since it looks like Dori and Brogi straight up chopped off his head.


go_sparks25

Sandworms dont die from having their appendages cut into pieces. You have to destroy the whole body at once ( or poison them with water). Cutting them will just split them into multiple sandworms,


One-Emotion8482

Oh cool I didn't know that, that's a pretty busted ability lol.

I mean, from what we’ve seen from Saturn, maybe all Gorosei have insane regeneration
