Bro this ain't the thread

Very relevant as she’s vying for a position and going against a core theme of the show

Not in the OP thread

?

he doing my boy dirty

The biggest irony is it couldn't be a better time to bring this up atp in the story :jordanlaff3: But I digress

Man idk what's happening don't listen to me

After what we learned in 1095 how long has this hunger games ass tournament been going on and is it still going on today? Cause if so it would've happened during the pre-TS year and the next one would be occurring IN a year, timeline wise). Cause say it's been happening since the void century up until either the God Valley incident or present day, that is between 254-266 islands worth of people being hunted for sport

Yea that's what I was thinking

Kuma's father already a better dad than Yasopp

ODA COOKING

Why he always gotta tease us w heat then say break next week

Something hit me just now @DonJulio

Shanks is 39 years old, so he's one years old or some months at the time of this all going down.

We originally believed that the Figarlands had owned or ruled Gods Valley, but we see that to be incorrect. Which why the f*** were they bringing their baby with them on this hunt? How'd he wind up in a treasure chest later to be found by Roger?

How did Shanks come to learn of his Figarland roots after the fact as a lost child? He's got repoire with the Gorosei for f***s sake, I'm surprised no one assumed that he died amidst the commotion

There is still more to the Shanks story.

And to top it all off all the PIECES of the old generation seemed to have coincidentally converged at Gods Valley. Garp/Rodger/Rocks. Kaido/Shanks/BM/Whitebeard. The revolutionaries, Dragon TBD. Celestials and at least one Gorosei.

And Imu likely put in the call to wipe that b**** off the map. Every major role player we've seen is a part of this s***

Exactly why I had been saying for a minute that God Valley was the flashback I was feening for the most, even before we knew about Kuma's involvement. Between Rocks, Roger, and Garp ALONE being there

Then you add in the detail about Shanks being in the chest, Garling, now this. S*** is the Met Gala of One Piece, EVERY major player was in that mf!

Oda gotta deliver with a full fledged arc for the flashback

That s*** should be up their with Chimera ant arc

It's too many pieces to jump around, skim past, I need it from star to finish, I don't care if it takes a year

I was telling some people yesterday, it's that exact reason with so many different moving parts that I think we DON'T get it all at once. Kuma's piece will be VERY pivotal but, and this is just me, I don't think we get full context until we get Garp's POV.

Think about it, it started with Sengoku first mentioning it and the Rocks Pirates. Then we get another small part of it in Kaido's backstory. That's why when folks were complaining about Kaido's backstory being underwhelming, I was honestly ok with it because I KNEW God Valley had to be a large piece of it and you can't give all of that away just from Kaido. Cause again, list off all the major players that were there and Kaido probably wasn't even a top 10 player at that point in time

Luffy got his lick back

Fire chapter

Luffy needs to get on his feet

This is not a fair battle lol

Also never thought Kuma would be this vital of a character

Interesting how long this flashback will go

I’m sure the robot that was activated after hearing the drums will be apart of the gang escaping

Although there’s a lot of wrong translations

I gotta stop reading TCB scans

People keep bringing that up Crocodile might’ve been a slave on God Valley and it would be the perfect scenario to reveal his secret that Ivankov was speaking about.

Is the barrier fruit the first one we've seen used in the past that a current character has? Excluding Ace.

Big Mom’s fruit and there’s one more but idk if you’re there yet. It’s in the same flashback you’re on

Either I missed a past character or I haven't reached the part of someone in the past using BMs fruit. I just finished 970. It's crazy that Wano is the longest arc and I'm flying through it way quicker then Dressrosa or WCI.
