Archivio per il tag: sanji only alive

The Vinsmoke Family is a family of killers that commands the ‘mythical evil army’ (as described by Nami) known as Germa 66, and have a large presence in the Underworld. They may possess considerable clout with either the World Government or Marines, as Sanji presumed that his family had orchestrated the change in the condition of capture for redeeming his bounty, from ‘Dead or Alive’ to ‘Only Alive’.

The family is currently known to consist of a father (the family patriarch), and at least three sons (of which Sanji is the third). The patriarch is known to be an infamous man throughout the New World.

It is revealed that the leader of the Vinsmoke family, Sanji’s father, arranged for him to marry the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Purin. Sanji, shocked that his past has been brought up again, believed that his family were also responsible for him now being wanted only alive. With the intention of putting an end to his past, Sanji reluctantly left Zou to attend the wedding.

I made a couple conclusions after thinking about last chapter:

– Unless Oda is being a massive troll, we can assume Sanji got captured in some way.

– It’s confirmed that Jack is no longer on Zou.
– The Mink (other than the guards) seemed rather relaxed. That leaves me to believe that there is no IMENENT threat to them as of right now. Also meaning there is no major antagonist on the island at this very moment.
– Chopper was dressed up as a King and the Strawhats were welcomed like royalty with banquet and all.

Following these conclusions i started thinking about what is left to do on Zou. Zou seems like too unique of an island to just hop on, find out about Sanji, and then hop off to go find him. Even if Nami presumes Sanji is dead instead of just captured, Luffy and Zoro (we all know Zoro and Sanji secretly have a bromance) would leave for revenge immediately imo.

So there’s no threat or antagonist right now and when everyone is filled in about Sanji next chapter the Strawhats won’t have time to celebrate with the Mink for too long. Is that all there will be to Zou?

My answer is no and here is why i think why:

I think Zou, or Zunisha, is a living poneglyph. Not like any other poneglyph where text is inscribed into a special rock/stone. The “poneglyph” im talking about is Zunisha’s memory. Zunisha is a ancient elephant that lived over a thousand years. As everyone concluded by now, Zunisha was around during the void century 800 years ago. It experienced what happened during that time. Specifically what happened to the Minkmen during this age.

One of the characteristics of elephants is that they have an amazing memory. I’d say this is needed if u want to recall something that happened 800 years ago. Is it a coincedence that the ancient creature who was around during the void century, also has this characteristic unique to it’s species? It might be, but i’d like to think not.

So poneglyphs are normally Robin’s specialty, but in this case it’s time for Chopper to shine. Chopper hasn’t really had much spotlight in the New World. The only thing of importance he has done in the NW is taking care of the kids on Punk Hazard. I think it’s about time for him to get a moment of great significance.

As we all know, Chopper can talk to animals. Correct me if i’m wrong here, but i believe Chopper is the only creature in the One Piece world that can communicate with ALL other living creatures. That also means he is the only one who could translate between animals and humans or translate from Zunisha to Robin and the rest. Is it a coincedence that the only one who could possibly translate Zunisha’s memories is a Strawhat? Maybe, but the coincedences are stacking up.

I even believe it’s possible that Chopper has already spoken to or translated for Zunisha and that’s the reason why Chopper is dressed as a King.

*Theory by Arasys

In chapter 805 Wanda says to Luffy that he should be thankful that he didn’t get lost when the “moon is out” (nighttime).

So, what do I think it is? Well, first of all as we all know Zou is an animal, an elephant (A giant one but still), therefore like any animal it must sleep, now before you say “maybe it sleeps standing like a giraffe”, well no- this is a sleeping elephant:

So now although it’s not the same with animals inherently, night is associated with sleep and elephants are day-creatures and not night-creatures so it should be assumed that if Zou sleeps, he does so at night.
But wait- if he lies down it means that the whole place will be flooded, he will be sleeping on the ocean floor!

This is exactly why I think it will happen, something that usually happens in One Piece Arcs is a certain “time limit” or a “race against time” before something bad happens- in the recent arc Dressrosa it was the birdcage, before that the Shinokuni, before that the Noah and so on.

So basically I think that the conflict that will happen in this arc will reach a climax at about nightime- if the SH and friends won’t defeat the enemies and get to safety they will drown- and let’s not forget the fact that Luffy, Chopper, Robin and Brook (Which might or might not still be in Zou) and DF users.

And now you might say “Well, maybe Zou is STANDING ON THE WATER and not the ocean floor”, well in the recent chaptr we’ve seen Robin’s thoughts regarding the “Water eruption”:

In it Zou is clearly not standing on the water but the ocean floor, although it’s her imagination we must all realize that when going up to Zou, they first confronted the foot, so Robin has seen the foot from close distance and it doesn’t walk on the water, and of course although it’s cartoonish, remember that it’s Oda’s drawing after all, and he knows all about Zou already, and if Zou walks on water he would draw Zou walking on water.

So now, how can Zou breath underwater? It can use it’s trunk of course!
But is it long enough? Well, have you thought to yourself how is it possible that Zou, a giant animal that constantly moves still remained close to Punk Hazard and Dressrosa after all the time Law has been there? Well, perhaps Zou has a “usual route” and at night time he stops at *relatively* shallow waters which allow him to keep his trunk out while he sleeps.

So yeah, what do you think?

I have to say this chapter has got to be the best since I begun reading the manga from Punk Hazard. So much happened its just amazing.

We get a sort of final closure to the situation in Dressrosa. The citizens are happy, the dwarves are introduced to the citizens, we see construction of Lucy, Kyros and God Usopp (lol) statues and right as we leave Dressrosa the country is referred to in the same way as it was in the beginning, a country of love and passion.

Everything else about this chapter was hype.

We see Lucci and maybe Spandam in Dressrosa, and if the translation is correct, they are both part of CP Aegis 0. Its also funny to note Lucci seems to be more superior in rank to Spandam, a funny role reversal. There is no way that isnt Lucci, the bird and the facial hair are identical.

We also have Doffy giving another classic speech about the new era. He’s chained the shit down on a navy ship, yet he is giving Vice-Admiral Tsuru some attitude and lamenting the lack of co-operation between him and the Navy.

But holy crap, the hype he generated. Talking about control of the seas, showing a great spread of all the well known characters of power in the New World, showing us silhouettes of Kaido and Big Mom and quite possible a wavey haired Green Bull. He even coined it ‘The Throne Wars’, a possible reference to Game of Thrones and perhaps teasing us as to what kind of power struggle is coming in the near future.

We also get a mention of Captain Jack, which I’m sure most people agree was the same Jack referred to in the Underworld Brokers broadcast on Punk Hazard. But man the hype becomes even more insane with the short spill on him. He seems to want to free Doffy from the Navy ships escorting him to Impel Down. This is despite the fact there is an Admiral, a former Fleet Admiral and possible up to three Vice-Admirals all present on these four ships. This Jack guy is a ballsy beast by the sounds of it. His ‘do you even know who I am’ attitude makes him seem so incredible, he has to be pretty powerful when you consider the opposition he’s faced with.

The Going Luffy-Senpai. This had me in tears of laughter. Barto’s ship has a stretching Luffy figurehead, a whole crew with the exact same ‘blinded by awesome’ mentality and even has framed wanted posters with some signatures on the side. To top it off, they even roll out a red carpet to the posters for the SH crew to see.

In a small flashback, we see that Luffy gives a piece of Vivre Card to some others (presumably the SH fleet captains), but most importantly we see what Bellamy decided he was going to do. It looks like he’s happy to remain friends, but not intending to join the pirate alliance. We will definitely see him again in the future.

BOUNTIES OMFG. Was jumping for joy to see even the SH’s who weren’t on Dressrosa got increased bounties. Clearly something big has gone down, especially with Sanji’s poster being changed to ‘Wanted Only Alive’. Something really big about Sanji is going to be revealed, and this was the perfect way to end the chapter.

Luffy and Law on a lofty 500 mill, Zoro looking badass with a huge 320 mill, Robin and Franky getting decent increases and GOD DAMN USOPP on 200 mill with his unconscious face! Next we see Brook and Nami getting 50mill increases to 83 and 66 mill respectively, Chopper increasing a massive 100% to 100 beri and Sanji finally getting a real picture and a 100 mill increase to 177.

Nothing about this chapter was in any respect bad. It was all fantastic, top tier storytelling.

So excited for the coming chapters!
