Do y'all think this adds something to the general lore and story?

Also I think it's funny how just tilting the globe brings an entirely different map

Portgas D. Ace cosplay!
He’s an influencer I like from Korea.
Dude’s absolutely ripped, and I thought Ace cosplay suited him way too well, so I had to share lol. What do u guys think?

Let's be honest for a minute. The first 2 seasons of the live action are great, even though some people may disagree. But if we're being honest, I can't see it going till like Wano or any of the later arcs, for many reasons like problems with the cast, arcs getting heavily reliant on CGI the more the series goes on, budget issues that we've already been seeing in these two seasons, etc. So, in your honest opinion, how long do you think the series could go for before Netflix shuts it down?

This is still an incomplete theory, and some parts are much more speculative than others. I’m posting it mainly because I think there is a pattern here and I’d like to see if anyone can find additional connections, so I would really love your thoughts and contributions!!

1. Emet may have been sent to protect Fish-Man Island / Poseidon

In a previous theory, I suggested that Emet may somehow have been sent (or programmed?) to act 200 years ago, and that his attack on Mary Geoise was connected to what was happening with Fish-Man Island at exactly that time.

Emet was built around 900 years ago, but mysteriously attacked Mary Geoise 200 years ago. Oda makes Robin immediately connect this date with the historical change in the treatment of Fish-Men, and this is around the period when Fish-Man Island began attending the Levely.

Interestingly, Vander Decken I also lived roughly in this historical period and was searching for the Mermaid Princess.

My hypothesis is therefore that Emet’s mission 200 years ago may have been to protect Poseidon, Fish-Man Island, or the conditions needed for Joy Boy future return.

2. Why wouldn’t Joy Boy send his allies into the future?

Joy Boy was clearly extraordinarily powerful: we have seen the effect of his stored Haki, and even Imu words confirm that.

More importantly, Toki was born 800 years ago, and possessed a Devil Fruit capable of sending both herself and other people forward through time.

So after Joy Boy lost the war, why would his strongest companions simply remain in an era where the battle was already lost?

If Joy Boy knew that the decisive moment would come 800 years later, it would make sense to distribute people and missions throughout the future so that the world would still be ready when the next Joy Boy arrived.

3. Roger did something strangely similar! But geographically

Look at the main Roger Pirates:

• Crocus is at the beginning of the Grand Line.
• Rayleigh is around its midpoint, at Sabaody.
• Gaban appears almost at the end.

Narratively, Oda has distributed Roger’s old generation in these key positions.

What if Joy Boy’s generation was distributed in a similar way, not through space, but through ... time?

4. Rayleigh and Ryuma: both at the “midpoint”?

This is where the idea originally clicked for me:

• Rayleigh appears roughly halfway through Luffy’s Grand Line journey.
• Ryuma lived roughly centuries after the Void Century and centuries before the present, around ~400 years ago, almost exactly halfway between Joy Boy’s era and Luffy’s.

What if Ryuma was not simply born in that period? What if, like Emeth, he originally came from Joy Boy’s era and was sent forward to protect Wano (in this case) when Wano needed him? (This is obviously speculative I know!)

But his historical function is interesting: Wano was targeted by outsiders, and Ryuma became the defender of Wano, and even killed the mysterious dragon.

5. Three key peoples of Joy Boy’s world

There may also be a larger geographical pattern:

1. Fish-Man Island: Sea element, animal-related people (Fish-Men/Merfolk), water-based powers, outside of the World Government, a Road Poneglyph, an Ancestral Weapon
2. Wano + Zou: Land element, animal-related people (Minks), electricity-based powers, outside of the World Government, two Road Poneglyphs, an Ancestral Weapon
3. Lunarians Island**\*: Sky element, animal-related people (Lunarians have wings), fire-based powers, outside of the World Government (likely), a Road Poneglyph in the past? (can't tell) and an Ancestral Weapon? (Uranus to me seems linked to the Lunarians)

These are all places/populations deeply connected to the world that existed before the World Government.

***I previously theorized that Lodestar, the final destination of the Log Pose, could be a hidden Sky Island where surviving Lunarians escaped, explaining why the race is believed to be extinct to stay safe from the World Government.

6. Joy Boy’s guardians of the future

This is where the pattern gets interesting:

• Fish-Man Island → Emet (?)
• Wano/Zou → Zunesha + Toki + possibly Ryuma
• Lunarians/Lodestar → ???

Maybe Joy Boy’s plan was to have his companions job was to keep the necessary places safe and ready until the right era arrived.

7. So who is waiting next?

This is a very weak part of the theory, pure speculation, but I can’t resist mentioning it!

If Lodestar really is about the Lunarians, maybe someone from Joy Boy crew was sent - or will be arriving - there as well?

Before One Piece, Oda designed Ryuma alongside a knight named “Romeo” in early concepts. So if Ryuma somehow represented a Rayleigh/Zoro-like figure from Joy Boy’s generation, could Joy Boy also have had another counterpart? Like Roger had Rayleigh and Gaban, maybe Joy Boy had Ryuma and this knight. And if Ryuma was sent to roughly the “middle” of the timeline, perhaps this knight was sent much further forward, appearing near its end, just as Gaban appears near the end of Luffy’s journey? Could that character, or his legacy, be waiting at Lodestar to protect the Lunarians?

Going through my first ever journey through One Piece and currentky on Whole Cake Island, I was genuinely SHOCKED at how much hate this arc gets.

So much around this arc just hits different: the horror / Tim Burton aesthetic, the comedy, each of the crew’s roles and stories here, some of the best pre-timeskip fights and animation in the series, everything kinda just works.

Also, Nothing Happened being one of my top five favorite moments in the series and cemented Zoro as my favorite character that isn’t Luffy.

Genuinely one of my favorite arcs and just might make it a tradition to rewatch it every October now.

who do you think is the impostor? 😂

Check out his flowchart analysis of the East Blue. Apparently he plans on doing a page for each arc... from memory...

One Piece has vastly increased his interest in reading and art which is amazing and appreciated.
