ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1113 SPOILERS!!!

It's tagged, it's in bold, if you didn't see it that's on you, but I'm sorry. (I'm also a little sick so sorry for how this starts to turn a little insane at the end.)

The reveal makes perfect sense. I've seen a few people struggle to figure out where it came from, so I'm gonna explain why it makes perfect sense and then pop off with some silly theory.

The first hint at the fact that the One Piece world is sinking exists all the way back in Long Ring Long Island.

That seems like an odd place to start, but it's the first time we're shown how drastic the tides of the ocean in the One Piece world can change. It's enough to separate entire parts of an island, causing it to appear as separate islands, once every year.

This implies that the tides change drastically over the course of much longer periods than it does in the real world.

After that, we get to Water Seven and discover that it's sinking, and that the Aqua Laguna is getting worse every year. We also know that it's caused by the water receding at Long Ring Long island. We're also outright told that they want to make the city float to stop the sinking problem.

We also, much later, see just how high Wano is in altitude.

Knowing that the Redline is so tall that it cannot be passed by any ship, cannot be broken through, and that Mariejois is sat right on top of it only adds to why it makes sense.

The world isn't "sinking," those some islands technically are(Water Seven, modeled after Venice), the tides are going to rise exponentially, and fast.

The force of the water would instantly drown most people, and those who survived would be those who could get to higher altitude islands, the sky islands, Fishman Island, or the Redline.

And because I know someone will try to point this out: land bound plant life can temporarily survive underwater, so Ohara's 5000 year old library tree would be fine for a a bit while submerged. There's lots of places with high tides who's plant life is just fine. (This also could explain why they'd be so willing to throw the books into the water. Not only was it to save them from the fire, but many of them had likely been submerged for long periods of time before. They knew the books would be find in the end because they had record of it. And well, it's mentioned in the chapter that Vegapunk means to finish what Ohara started.)

This would also explain how thorough the government was able to be with wiping out information from the void century. If only a few places can survive, then few things that tell the truth will survive, and even fewer people.

Do I think I'm 100% correct about any of this? Or course not, it's Oda. It's One Piece. Things are pretty much never predicted with 100% accuracy. But that's my thoughts on why it makes sense. Now we get into theory:

I have several points to make, so I'm going to write out the shortest ones first.

-This would, completely unironically, explain some of the centuries long racism campaign against fishman. They have no reason to fear the high tides. They will survive no matter what happens on the surface, and that scares the humans who cannot.

-I think that the extreme tide is a part of why the bridge is being built in Tequila Wolf. I believe the bridges purposes is to connect all the highest points of the world so there's no need for ships to carry them. This way, the Celestial Dragons will still have access to more slaves, produce, and anything they can't get within Mariejois on their own during the time period when everyone drowns.

-and now we get to the big one:

I think that the reason the 20 kings and their people destroyed the ancient kingdom is because the ancient kingdom had a way to survive the high tide while keeping the maximum number of people safe in the process, and while being able to save many more people. They refused to ask for help, and were instead afraid of the power the ancient kingdom held, so they sought to destroy it.

I think that the ancient "weapons" were instead a means of survival, and the reason they were hidden is because the 20 kings would have used them as weapons instead. We don't know much about the ancient kingdom, so much of this is speculation.

I think Pluton was a large enough ship that it could carry the entire kingdom. We've already seen some massive ships in One Piece, and Iceburg intends to turn the entirety of Water Seven into a ship, so the idea of an island sized ship isn't all that odd.

If you continue to think about it, why did none of the Beast Pirates manage to find Pluton while searching for the poneglyph in Wano? I have two theories for this based on the fact that we're told Wano would have to open it's borders in order to get Pluton. If the walls would need to be torn down, then we can continue to assume that Pluton is massive.

Theory one is that Pluton is is hidden within the mountain itself, and that the mountain was man-made to hide the ship. Not only would the walls need to come down, but the mountain itself would have to be destroyed. They would also need a way to survive the high tide without it, so creating a mountain that is high enough in altitude to keep them safe would have been a necessity. I think this is the more believable of the two theories.

Theory Two is that Pluton is Wano. The entire island is the ship, and many of Wano's people descended from the people of the ancient kingdom or those they rescued. This one is much less likely, but it's still a possibility in my mind.

We know that Poseidon was the former mermaid princess, and that the current one is Shirahoshi. She can control the sea kings. Why would this be important? Because if everywhere floods, then the sea kings, who are already very large creatures, suddenly have an influx of room to move, food to eat, and places to lay eggs. It would cause a population spike. *However,* that would cause an ecological disaster within the food chain. The sudden influx of sea kings would be desperate for any food they can get their hands on, and many would likely die of starvation. This means they need some way to repel them from the large ship.

We don't know anything about Uranus yet, so I've nothing for you.

Another thing we know about the ancient kingdom is that they seemed to be friendly with everyone, or at least it's implied via how many friends Joy Boy made.

Fishman: Along with the bonus of having Poseidon, the fishman also have access to the tree resin from Sabaody. Should the ship(Puton) or the ancient kingdom ever need to submerge in order to keep people safe or to have a temporary air bubble, They'd be safe.

Lunarians: The people who originally lived on top of the redline. Sinee the redline is high enough to not sink, it would have made sense for them to be trade partners.

Skypians and Shandians: Another race with wings. if the tides really got too high, then they could join them in the sky sea for a time. They could also trade with them.

Minks: Zunesha was a friend of Joyboy's. We don't know much else about that situation, but it's likely that Zunesha is plenty tall enough to keep the minks from drowning, and they could have traded often as well. Maybe Zunesha was even able to do something similar to the giants.

The Giants: This feels like the most important one to me, and not just because of recent chapters. Obviously the giants think very highly of Nika/Joyboy, but it's also very likely that Elbaf is tall enough to survive the high tide, and if not, the the giants themselves are. If you look at what's known about current giants, some of them are tall enough to walk along the sea floor, and the ancient giants were so large that it's said they pulled and moved continents.

Why is that bit important? Because a ship the size of an entire island would likely need a lot more than sails buoyancy to move quickly. The ancient kingdom was pulled by the giants. They moved to different areas to rescue people and to trade so that life continued while the tide was at it's highest point.

Another random thing that supports this is the giant's vehement hatred towards Charlotte Linlin. She has Totto Land, which is supposed to be a place where all races live in harmony, but it would be a mockery of what the ancient kingdom was like, and for giants, who live about 300 years, that's only a few generations back. They would still have stories about the ancient kingdom and remember the truth.

Again, I don't think anything I predict will ever be 100% accurate, but I hope you enjoyed my rambling nonetheless.

Nyehee. For le first asks: 6, 8, 14, B, S, 💀 annnnnd 🕷️

6, 8, 14, B, S, 💀 annnnnd 🕷️

I will have to direct you to here because I have answered 8 and 14 already, and well, the answer to 6 is the answer to 14. I am so sorry, my friend. <3

B. First impression of each other

Oooof, um, well…do we mean first time EVER seeing each other because we all know that Dahlia grew up in Windhelm while she was a very young and impressionable teenager with raging hormones and—YEAH SHE THOUGHT HE WAS HANDSOME I ADMIT IT—ahem, but well OBVIOUSLY because of the age gap he was MUCH older and an adult and therefore he would never have even so much as glanced her way at that time for that and also because he had no idea that she existed.

BUT, if we are talking about first impressions where they actually meet, well then, that would be the meeting at High Hrothgar and I didn’t actually write about that so the world will never know and I actually don’t think that is the true best first impression because Ulfric had no idea that this was Dahlia at the time as she kept her identity hidden.

SO, this means that you want me to talk about Dahlia battling a dragon up on the parapets of the Palace of the Kings! …which is also complicated because Dahlia already kind of knew Ulfric (see above) but he had no idea of her existence until this very moment. It’s complicated…while she may have been attracted to him in her youth and she DID wish to join his cause, through her adult eyes she was a bit wary about throwing everything in and supporting him as High King up until the point where she did get to know him due to (lists every reason everyone hates Ulfric) the rumors about what has been happening in Windhelm and his reasoning behind the Civil War.

As for Ulfric, he definitely saw her as a benefit and someone to add to help to the cause of the Civil War, but also he saw in her the dragon blood (and not just as Dovahkiin), but as someone who had a shared experience and shared burden on her shoulders. It wasn’t love at first sight for him, not at all, but he saw something in her which he sees in himself and that he could relate to her.

S. First anniversary + how they celebrated

Oh no…uh…how do I tell you this…I don’t think they’re actually together on their first wedding anniversary. :( Dahlia’s out fighting the Thalmor.

…so they’re both probably pretty sad.

Skull. First time writing character death?

Uhhh, UHH, UMMM….I can’t answer this due to spoilers?

…how do I actually feel about it? Honestly, sure it’s sad, but also necessary? Plotting? I— [runs away from the question]

Spider. First time writing something that scared you and how it went.

Well, the first time I wrote something that scared me was starting to write my fic in general. I was afraid about how it would be received, and I didn’t know if I could actually do it or if I would give up, or if people would come and hit me with torches and pitchforks. How did it go? Idk, you tell me. I’m still writing about these Idiots now.

Hey y'all! I'm going on a mini hiatus, because there's a lot going on and I can only handle so much emotionally right now. I should be back with the few requests in my ask box in roughly about two-three weeks! Unless inspiration strikes again, but that's the plan for now :) but please, don't feel discouraged and check out this post right here for my 100 mystery prompt challenge!

Promise, I'll be back soon ❤️

[whositmcwhatsit]

I was just wondering what made you write your stories in this era and with this Elvis….I have just devoured so many books in the last 6 months and I am fascinated why he did the things he did, why with all his resources he did not help himself….it’s the psychological aspects of his personality his women and his choices I’m finding so heartbreaking and I think that’s why I find your story so captivating …..apart from the beautiful writing of course. Your words feel like they are filling in some of the blanks…….I just wondered if this was some of your motivation…..apart from the gorgeous man he is.. hugs 🤗

Hi, you lovely lady!

Okay, I've been thinking about this all day, so settle in!

The simplest answer is that I wanted to read it! When you can't find the art you want you just have to make it. I love all the stories, the AUs, the reimaginings, the fix-it fics and the smut (Boy, do I!) but I wanted some Elvis on tour!

The next reason is that I hate the official story put out by EPE and RCA (my arch-nemeses) that Elvis stopped existing after Aloha, or that he spent his time crying about his divorce until he passed away. Dude was still out there doing his thing, living his life, making plans in spite of his problems and to simplify and dismiss him enrages me!

Another reason- I'm so sorry but you made the mistake of asking- is that I have been an Elvis fan a LONG time. Like a weird little nerdy one. I've devoured all the books, I've been to the cons, I met people who knew him and interrogated them relentlessly, I've been on message boards, I watched thousands of blurry 8mm filmed concerts and listened to 100s of hours of soundboard recordings.

Picture a big-eyed, intense teen right up in Ronnie Tutt's face going, 'But really, how could you keep an eye on him all the time to see his cues and still drum like that? Did you ever miss your cue? Did you piss him off?' Then picture that poor man being like, 'Um, here's your autograph, now go away you're scaring me, you strange girl.' I think I wanted to do something with all the ill-gotten information I have, because otherwise it's just in my head driving me crazy.

Finally- yes it's coming to an end now- I love him and he fascinates me. Like you, I question and wonder, trying to make sense of the things he did and the choices he made. I relate to him more than I am comfortable admitting sometimes. I understand his self-destructive ways, his bravado, his insecurity and his super-sized emotions. I flat out admire him for all that he achieved and the positive qualities he managed to keep hold of in a world that was often not very kind to him.

Thank you so much for the question, and for reading my fic. I love that it seems to be seeking out such lovely people and bringing them into my life!

[diivineray]

Btw; just to clear this up I love the people who communicate and talk to me without me always having to do it first. And are patient with me being slow as heckie cuz life has been hard and busy

When I complain about the rpc im talking about engagement. Cuz it’s hard as helllllllll to see who’s interested in what when no one really ??? Like ?? Does anything 😩 and I know it’s harder cuz I do have muses most ppl don’t know from fandoms that hardly have any kind of rpc yet or ever

But I’m flexible and I can make work. I just need ppl who are willing to step out of their own comfort zones. And actually do it. I don’t want ppl suddenly likely my posts or asking to interact if they know they aren’t going to. Just for the sake of the moment cuz that’s always what happens and then the cycle begins again. It’s annoying

I’m not fast and it won’t happen right away. It’s never that that annoys me. It’s just all the pretend interest when there isn’t any in fact. Over 100 ppl follow me and I maybe get three at most who are genuinely interested in me and my muses. You see how that looks?

[lululawrence]

I love your tagging! it's always interesting to see what you focus on in a pic

aljkgfhads;kjfsda oh bless you, nonnie. thank you haha

what's funny is for so long i defo thought people picked out the same things to kind of focus on in a photo because... we're looking at the same person doing the same thing etc you know? but over the last ten years i've defo learned that not everyone pays attention to like... their socks. lmaoooo which, ya know. fair. sometimes i don't even know why i've focused on their socks or whatever in the photos, but it just happens. lol so i'm glad that i'm not only amusing myself and hopefully making it easy to find specific photos i might need to find in the future, but i'm keeping others entertained as well haha!
