I still don’t understand why Maris kidnapped Kososhi instead of Miwa, if he were so attached to Miwa

I don't blame you, with the roundabout way they went about that. By kidnapping Soushi he could locate Tatsumiya and Altair's whereabouts, go there first and make Malespero Altair's core, or so he thought. Okay. Since he prepared "a family" for Miwa in the false island, I think his first idea was to take her with him too. But how would he go on with kidnapping and brainwashing the strongest esperanto? That's why he only took Soushi who was baby and easier to manipulate.

...Is what I thought back in 2019, but then TBY went on to show just how actually vulnerable to mental attacks Miwa was 😅 Too many mental attacks in that show! Crossing itself became a liability!

Maybe he first tried to convince her to give up sacrificing herself (I would like to think these people talked normally before all this happened). Then tried to influence her into joining him, that's when she discovered the plan and told the adults. Really, I wonder how long one is able to hide these kinds of thoughts in a cult place with lots of people who are able to read each other's minds.

At least the two esperanto kids he took with him went because they agreed with him and maybe Soushi did too. You know, the most a 2 year old can agree to something.

"The adults want Miwa to die, do you want that to happen?" "No! 😖" "If you come with me we can save her 😉" "Okay!"

...Something like that. Creepy!

And then he brainwashed him so he wouldn't accidentally call Kazuki with that mental connection they've got going on or whatever ( ･ิω･ิ)

In the dub, Sanji says something along the lines of "I will drop a giant on top of you" to Zoro right after Wadatsumi falls from the sky. Needless to say, the next scene they are doing the forehand flirting ritual.

Holy smokes but it makes sense. The cover story with jimbei & wadatsumi. The real reason the government would approve a sea train. Old wano being underwater. The importance of those monkey scavenger guys. The necessity of water 7 to float. The reason they need shirahoshi so bad. I’m so glad to be rereading one piece rn

deadass? thinking about just how inseprable ryouma and oryou san is theyre literally also each others' fates i seriously cried during that one gudaguda event where ryouma finds THE oryou san herself at the bottom of the sea waiting for him for hundreds of years iirc and they legit come back from the dead TOGETHER and STRONGER after obliterating me with that "im glad i met you" wedding vows now with my edguda brain (ofc) on overdrive, lancer ryouma's literal np is 「君よ、綿津見の原を征け」 / "My dear, go conquer the Oceans of Wadatsumi" but its localized as "Dear Dragon, Race Across the Waves of Wadatsumi"

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO WITH 「君よ、輝きの道を征け」　AND 「星よ、輝きの道を征け」 KIMI???????????KIMI??????? HOSHI???????????? YOU????? MY STAR???? MY ACCOMPLICE????? MY???? MY?????? YOU????// NA HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LOCALIZE THIS???? MY BELOVED STAR? MY DEAR STAR?? O STAR???? MY FATE??? MY DESTINY??? MY LIGHT??

"kimi" is such a big deal to me especially when context is involved and now i really have to get serious trying to dodge getting thrown into the psych ward because it doesnt really take a white dress and black suit and rings to make me deranged. its always always the kindness, the unconditional love. the simple eternal vow of staying by your side, waiting for you no matter how long it takes and being just happy to have met the other even beyond universes and timelines that absolutely vaporizes my existence to literal nothing. amazing. i have a very weak heart

The new one piece chapter has me spiraling sdjkfshf so here's a theory that crossed my mind and is becoming more plausible the more I think about it

Spoilers (obviously) under the cut

The tl;dr is: What if the world of One Piece has always had rising sea levels/sinking land? What if these natural events happen in an 800 year cycle? What if there was way more land (like the real world) before the formation of the World Govt?

I'm not gonna get into the details of why that is bc that is a different mind boggling discussion and it isn't really important here. But if there's always been that threat, it would explain so much about the Void Century and the True History.

As many people have already pointed out, the threat of the world sinking into the ocean explains why Noah was needed. It's a giant ship half the size of Fishmen Island that was meant to be raised to the surface, likely for the inevitable future where there's virtually no land above water. It could be that threat never happened at the end of the Void Century so Noah wasn't needed, but what if it did happen? This would suggest a huge event happened that caused sea levels to rise 800 years ago.

This ties into my next point, that the Great Kingdom was part of land that is now underwater. We've already seen that there's underwater ruins from Jinbe's cover story where Wadatsumi was throwing ruins onto an island, one such ruin being a poneglyph, meaning that kingdom (maybe the land that island was once part of) was either part of the Great Kingdom itself or allied with it. So it wouldn't be a stretch to consider that the Great Kingdom is also currently below the ocean. It would also have made it easier for the World Govt to completely erase the Kingdom from existence, since it was already underwater and inaccessible to most people other than Fishmen. I can't recall if any ruins that are Void Century old have been canonically shown, which would mean either they've been completely destroyed with nothing left, or the areas have been continuously lived in and renovated, or they're in the ocean and the majority of structures currently on land is younger than the Void Century AKA people moved to higher lands when sea levels rose. It could be all the above too! If the Great Kingdom was at risk of sinking, then Noah might have been meant to carry their displaced citizens.

If those during the Void Century knew sea levels would soon rise, it might have been the reason for all the turmoil that started the Great War. Conflicts over limited resources, about who will live and who will die, general fear and anxiety, things like that. The 20 kingdoms that eventually formed the World Govt might have been suspicious about how the Great Kingdom was using their resources and went to war with them. Maybe they were threatened by how much power the Great Kingdom had as they prepared for the natural disaster (ie. the ancient weapons and Noah; from what we know from Egghead, technology was incredibly advanced at the time). Maybe it was just all boiled down to wanting control over a terrifying situation.

If the land sinking into the ocean is a natural phenomenon, then Joy Boy's apology to the Fishmen and mentioning of his return would mean that the event would happen again. Maybe it happens in an 800 year cycle, which explains why Joy Boy (and those sea kings in the Fishmen Arc) knew that Noah was still needed and how he knew exactly when he'd return. It also explains why Rayleigh warned that if he told Robin about the Void Century when the Strawhats first arrived at Sabaody, she "wouldn't be able to do anything about it as she was then." I think I've always assumed this had to do with the formation of the World Govt and how to dismantle it, but it might actually be about how the world is sinking and through following the poneglyphs, one would find the way to save those in danger of being displaced. The Ohara scholars had discovered this, and now Vegapunk is continuing their legacy by making this info public.

And as I'm writing this, I'm realizing that if sea levels rise/land sinks in an 800 year cycle, this might be the "true history" of the world, or at least part of it considering Joy Boy's story made the Roger's Pirates laugh. But it certainly is important and relevant as the wikia site describes! But why would the World Govt try to hide this? I'm not entirely sure. Maybe for the sake of having control over information and thus having power over the world, but there could be so many other reasons. There's hints throughout the story that suggest they're still preparing for a world with almost no land though, such as the Tequila Wolf bridge that's supposed to connect islands together, and the fact that the founding monarchs moved their families to Mary Geoise on the Red Line. Law also stated in Punk Hazard that the Govt has been researching growth hormones to turn humans into giant soldiers, and they've been doing this for centuries. It's possible that the research was really for the capability to walk through parts of the ocean when there's no longer any land above water.

Anyway my brain is fried thinking about all these things lol. There's so many other factors to consider but I'll save that for a later time when I get more sleep sjdkfhsdk
