Cobra’s Last Stand And His Declaration To Sabo To Help Overthrow Imu

We knew this was coming the minute Levely came into importance but we thought it would be him just getting mercilessly slaughtered but no he stands up and makes a last stand to defy the order of this world and realize that he must do something to spread the message that the government is built on a lie and it must be revealed. Gosh, goodbye, King Cobra, you were a great side character who might have fallen into the cliche of the beloved king being killed but you did in a way only Oda can do it and show you are truly a D.

[Spoilers] [Really big spoilers actually] One Piece Chapter 1085 thoughts

"The Poneglyphs must be protected, Fly the flag the heralds the worlds eventual Dawn." - Nefetari D. Lily

Considering Oda chose to literally censor the contents of the letter by covering the Speechbubble with a massive roar (Love that visual way of showing that the Roar just silences Cobras final words) I think its one of the most important pieces of information we´ve ever gotten about the D. Clan and the Void century. Also Imu/Mu definitely had the Eternal youth surgery, Its ofcourse possible that this is like the 4th or 5th generation of "Imu" (One Piece lifespans seems to naturally be roughly about a century and a half?) and all the information has been passed down but the way they speak with seemingly such disgust towards Lily it seems... Personal, like they were present for the war.

Now, all the Gorosei shadow beast forms, and Imus big shadowy form deffinetly seems very for lack of a better term, Demonic? Its layed on pretty thick that obviously the Tenryubito is fucking evil, but these forms are weird, I dont even think they are Devil fruits to be honest, We will have to see.

Lastly, This is speculation ofcourse. But Lilis letter confirms atleast in my headcanon, The D. Initial means Dawn. Its the Flag that will herald the worlds eventual D.awn, the fall of the World Goverment and the Tenryubito. I always liked the Idea that it was a very literal Smile (:D) but Dawn makes more sense! Its so exciting to slowly get the Puzzlepieces dripfed to you, This arc is so dense with these little nuggets, And we havent even seen the Straw hat Pirates for months! And I want like 2 more chapters in Mary Geoise before we even think of going back to Egghead.

Also sidenote, If my theory is true, (Monkey) Dawn Dragon is such a cool name. Dawn Dragon taking down "The Celestial Dragons" ? Way cool.

I was thinking about Imu's devil fruit. It's not shadows or darkness since those are taken. I saw someone mention it could be void. That would make a lot of sense considering he refers to himself as Mu in third person which can apparently be read as void.

[hyperbolicreverie]

now im curious…if youre caught up, what are your thoughts on the most recent chapter OR the last chapter you read?

I am caught up!

Spoilers for through 1085 under the cut.

I think my biggest takeaway is honestly "I have more questions."

Not that I didn't already have questions, mind you. This whole section of Reverie flashback has done nothing but answer previous questions and raise new ones.

It's genuinely eerie to finally get to see Imu speak, and to have their name recognized as also belonging to one of the founding members of the Twenty Families--and that explains why there's only nineteen swords at the base of the Empty Throne--no point in abandoning yours if you're the one sitting on it.

Major props to Cobra for pushing for answers, even after he had to have been aware that he was not getting out of there alive--though I expect he had an inkling that that would be the case when he sent Chaka and Pell away--such is the fate of those who ask after forbidden knowledge, after all. We've seen that, after all.

I know a lot of people are already trying to figure out what devil fruits the Gorosei have, but I am genuinely unsure what those shadowy powers were. I think it's equally likely there's some extension of what Imu was doing at play here, so I'm waiting for more information before I make a call. Whatever the power(s) are, they were downright eerie.

And the name reveal! I have always wondered how many Ds there might be out there who just lost the knowledge of who they were over time, and this opens a lot of doors for speculation. And for one of the founding families of the World Government to carry that name? It goes a long way towards hypothetically explaining why the Nefertaris were trusted with a poneglyph and were the odd family our in general. Like...twenty years later.

I'm also genuinely curious who might out there be a little more aware of the history of their name and just keeping it under wraps. The implication is there that Law's parents may have before they died, but maybe there are other little hidden pockets of Ds out there biding their time. Who knows?

EIther way, love to see Vivi back in the story.

Also, poor Sabo is having a very bad day.

Honorable shout out to Fujitora for essentially just shrugging and going "whoops my finger slipped" and just freeing the slaves. Just continuing to make the Marines regret conscripting him. Ten for you, sir.

SPOILERS: Chapter 1094 of ONE PIECE

We've finally seen St. Jaygarcia Saturn's real form on chapter 1094, and it is absolutely diabolical. It seems to be inspired by a yōkai called Ushi-oni. So I went back to chapter 1085 and tried to connect the rest of the Gorosei with other yōkai. Here are my predictions:

Ushi-oni: In Wakayama Prefecture, ushi-oni are mountain-dwelling beasts. Legend says when a hiker or traveler makes eye contact with the ushi-oni, the person cannot avert his or her gaze. The person's soul or energy is drained and he or she dies. This is called “Kage wo kuu (影を食う)” or sometimes "Kage wo nomu (影を飲む)", which translates to “eating the shadow” or "drinking the soul".

Aosaginohi: Aosaginohi, or Aosagibi (青(あお)鷺(さぎ)火(び), "blue heron fire") is a phenomenon illustrated by Toriyama Sekien in his Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki. It depicts a night heron with a mysteriously illuminated body. Folklore built around the phenomenon tells a story of an old black-crowned night heron transforming into a yokai. The herons' feathers fuse into shining scales that give off an iridescent blue light in the dark of night. The yokai's breath is also said to release golden powder into the air that collects to form a heat-less fiery light, though this light eventually dissipates in the wind. The harmless creature is said to flee from human contact, retaining a normal heron's shyness. Legend also warns to not confuse the glimmering blue-white light with onibi lights.

Baku: Baku (獏 or 貘) are Japanese supernatural beings that are said to devour nightmares. According to legend, they were created by the spare pieces that were left over when the gods finished creating all other animals. They have a long history in Japanese folklore and art, and more recently have appeared in manga and anime. The Japanese term baku has two current meanings, referring to both the traditional dream-devouring creature and to the Malayan tapir. In recent years, there have been changes in how the baku is depicted.

Benzaiten: Benzaiten (shinjitai: 弁才天 or 弁財天; kyūjitai: 辯才天, 辨才天, or 辨財天, lit. "goddess of eloquence"), also simply known as Benten (shinjitai: 弁天; kyūjitai: 辯天 / 辨天), is a Japanese Buddhist goddess who originated mainly from Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of speech, the arts, and learning, with certain traits deriving from the warrior goddess Durga. Due to her status as a water deity, she was also linked with nāgas, dragons, and snakes. Apart from being a patron of music and the arts, she was eventually also worshiped as a bestower of monetary fortune and was reckoned as one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin).

Ōkubi: In Japanese folklore, Ōkubi (大首) are giant heads of either men or women. An Ōkubi appearing in the sky is a sign of impending disaster, which may be a typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, or fire. These disasters are often attributed to the Ōkubi. Ōkubi are otherwise harmless and will disappear soon after the first sighting. They are thought to be sky spirits who protect the sky's or people who died during a natural disaster. They are said to protect people from the natural disasters and protect the sky from demonic sky spirits. It is said if one does not pay respect for the Ōkubi, they will be turned into sky spirits and their face will appear in the sky immediately. Those who do pay respect are said to get good fortune and gifts.

PS.: This silhouette probably belongs to Imu themselves, but I can't figure out what yōkai or supernatural being it represents. What are your theories?

EDIT: Thank you @ozo-blog and @marimo-kyun for your suggestion!

On chapter 1069, Vegapunk said that Devil Fruits earned the ire of Mother Nature, which is the Sea itself. The name Imu can be read as Umi backwards, meaning "Sea" in Japanese. So, maybe Imu has a power that controls the sea? Umibozu would be on theme for them.

Umibōzu: Umibōzu (海坊主, "sea priest") is a paranormal phenomenon or yōkai from Japanese folklore. Other names include Umihōshi (海法師, "sea priest") or Uminyūdō (海入道, "sea priest"). Little is known of the origin of umibōzu but it is a sea-spirit and as such has multiple sightings throughout Japan. Normally, umibōzu appears to sailors on calm seas which quickly turn tumultuous. It either breaks the ship on emergence or demands a bucket or barrel from the sailors and proceeds to drown them. The only safe way to escape an umibōzu is to give it a bottomless barrel and sail away while it is confused.

Alternative: I've also seen another theory that says Imu could be Satan (from the Bible, yes) because he has a Red Dragon form that could relate to the Celestial Dragon's symbol, a red dragon hoof.

Red Dragon (Biblical Satan): The Red Dragon is a form of the Biblical Satan, otherwise known as Lucifer, the former Seraphim that rebelled against the Creator and became evil in Christianity and Hebrew religions. His alias, the Red Dragon, was described in the Bible to have seven heads, ten horns, seven crowns, and a massive tail that knocks one-third of the stars out of the sky. The Red Dragon is mentioned to have other names like the Serpent of Old and the Devil. It is said in the Bible that Satan will take the form of the Red Dragon and will along with the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and the Beast, deceive most of Humanity. After that the Red Dragon will be set free upon the world in which he will rule alongside demons for three long years. After that God will cast the Red Dragon, demons, and other dammed evil souls into Lake of Fire, thus finally destroying the evil of Satan forever.

During the time-skip, we've seen Brook being accidentally summoned by a Satanic cult, which implies the existence of Satan in the One Piece world. Now, on chapter 1094, we've seen again a summoning circle, this time for St. Jaygarcia Saturn. I think it's pretty obvious the connection between real world devils and the Gorosei and Imu.

It's all going to come to the ironic conclusion that the D. clan, the enemies of the Gods, are Gods themselves (like Nika) and the Celestial Dragons, the Gods of the world, are actual Devils.

W For Fujitora And L For Green Bullshit

Seriously, I don’t know if Fujitora’s actions were intentional but I would love to think so because he hates upholding slavery so much he would rather have the revolutionaries free them than endorse such repulsive practices. Also anything to crap on Greenbullshit’s stance on protecting systematic oppression is a win. 

[linalavender]

Whoah The One Piece Leaks, I think its pretty clear what "D." actually stands for now. And they really are.
