ONEPIECE Ch. #1095 "Better off dead in this world" SPOILERS!!
Please tell me we are going to be absolutly destroy again
Fuck you, Saturno
Iva and Kuma are childhood friends.... Iva save Kuma... Iva was a slave
--------------------
I should have known for the name of the chapter but man I'm trying so hard not to cry. This chapter was so hard.
So Kuma is from a race called "Buccaneer" good to know, theywere persecuted and slave by the celestial dragons, not so good to know.
They killed his father IN FRONT OF HIM, BECAUSE HE WAS SINGING
So it turns FUCKING OUT that the Tennryubitos make MAN HUNTINGS IN THE COUNTRYS UNAFFILIATED TO THE WORLD GOVERNMENT. Every fucking time we learn something about this bitches they get fucking worse.

huge fan of the fact that ivankov was already making up new pronouns for herself as a kid. she self-references as ヴォレ/vore here, a modified/accented version of the masculine ore, as opposed to the ヴァタシ/vatashi (modified feminine/formal pronoun watashi) she uses in the present.
she's also using the regular masculine omae for 'you' here instead of the vanata that she uses in the present, which is an accented version of the more formal (and more commonly used by women) anata. so her particular speech style has gotten notably more feminine between this flashback and the present, but has always been distinctly silly!

Okay, about Egghead. We can safely say this arc is exploring themes of faith and science, how they clash and coexist in many ways, i.e. Vegapunk's technology which supposedly represents the future actually comes from the past. What's especially interesting is how this connects to Kuma.
Kuma is a man made into a machine. He is the poster-boy of Vegapunk's genius and the government's technological superiority in the form of Pacifistas. He is considered a weapon, not a person, and all his remaining personality was supposedly stripped after Sabaody. And yet, during Egghead he has rejected his programming and chases after some unknown goal. Why and how?
Well now we know: Faith in Nika.
Chapter 1095 doesn't just reveal Kuma's past but his beliefs. His dream to become a freedom fighter comes from his deep faith in the sun god Nika, a representation of freedom. This has been teased since his introduction (chapter 233!!!) with the bible, but he isn't Christian- Kuma's bible is a general symbol of his faith in Nika, the one thing keeping him from losing his humanity.
Tying this to the Straw Hats, Luffy is now revealed to be Nika. His dream of becoming Pirate King (and probably his mysterious second dream) is about becoming free and giving others freedom. This is true of all the Straw Hats as their belief/faith in achieving their impossible dreams keeps them going.
I think Kuma is the link to the Straw Hats allying with the revolutionary army to target the world government. With the arrival of Saturn, Bonney's connection to Kuma, Kuma's connection to Sabo/Ivankov/Dragon, it all seems inevitable. Once Kuma learns Luffy is Nika, he may straight up worship Luffy, and once Luffy understands Bonney and Kuma's dreams/lack of freedom, he may just have to throw hands with the WG for his new friend.

Here's me over-analyzing a single panel to try to gauge Oda's intentions between Sanji and Jewelry Bonney. (Okay, not just this panel, but I just got to typing because of this one.) 1. Sanji caring about Bonney's safety but has not been fawning over her disrespectfully, which shows that she could potentialy be a viable love interest or a Straw Hat member. (If we're still on that 10-members thing, but I have my separate thoughts on that.)
2. Sanji has not been shown fawning over Bonney disrespectfully, because she is actually still a young, underage child and that would be creepy in retrospect. (Yet there has been some pretty fanservice heavy shots with her, so I dunno about this.)
3. Sanji finally has gotten over his extreme idolization of females in general after Wano, and his interactions with Bonney simply showcases his general character development. (I personally hope it's this last one.)

🌘☀️ Some thoughts on Zoro & Luffy and their connection to gods and demons☀️��
This post started at first with just a few points about Zoro in the context to Asura/ King of Hell but since then it somehow evolved into connecting bits and pieces between Zoro & Luffy parallels again, I just can't help it, sooo...long post ahead.
Wano + Egghead spoilers
I always love remembering this one of the very first scenes where we (and Luffy) first hear about Zoro, and in the context of Zoro being a Pirate Hunter, even described as a demonic beast or as Koby says "demon in human form." None of this discouraged Luffy upon hearing this, on the contrary - he thought that if he sees for himself if Zoro was a good guy, he would be a great addition to his crew, and then went out of his way to seek him out! And only later we got the explanation that Zoro just couldn't find his way back home. "Roaming the seas" meant surviving for him, bounty hunter meant getting by in life with the skills he knew the best - swords, which is kind of sad when you think about it, but all the more interesting that it was Luffy who found him in Shells town,
where Zoro, a nonbeliever of any gods of higher power, was bound to a cross, and the first thing Luffy pointed out was "he's smiling".
I like to think that the smile might have been one of the first signs important enough for Luffy to choose someone for his crew - not only the kindness that followed when Luffy saw Zoro eating the dirty rice ball, but the smile that's by itself also very connected to Luffy himself:
After that first fight they won together, already reading each other so well, Zoro was the first one to call Luffy his captain (and later at Baratie also the first one to call him the future Pirate King!). He was someone who already fully believed in Luffy's future of reaching his dream without questioning it, perphaps because their drive towards their goals and dreams was very similar. And Luffy was the one who freed Zoro and let him have his swords - his biggest treasures - and gave him back the possibility to go into the world to actually follow his dream!
"One day, he'll show up and take you out under the sun, to the freedom of the sea!" - ch. 1095, Buccaneers about Sun God Nika (flashback with Kuma)
Fast forward to Wano - it's incredible how entangled their stories are with belief in always striving to do better/be stronger/try again next time for Luffy, someone who doesn't care what others think - he just needs to do what he wants and to be free - only for him to awaken his Devil Fruit and his God Nika powers; and for Zoro (a non-believer/apatheist) with how determined he was to successfully wield Enma so he could defeat King the Wildfire even to the lengths of becoming the King of Hell if that was what needed to be done to get Luffy one more step towards being the Pirate King.
Which brings me back to Demon Asura Zoro and where we saw this form throughout the manga:
This whole post started at first as a parallel to my other post about Zoro not really being shown to react to Luffy's Gear 5 (yet, as of chapter 1109), and I kept thinking about Zoro's Asura technique and how he used it so far only three (!!!) times, and there weren't many reactions from the strawhat crew either.
First one was during the Enies Lobby against Kaku, who even calls that vision 'demon-god' (ch. 417). If I remember Zoro was there by himself with Kaku, his crew each fighting other opponents elswhere:
The second time was during their first visit to Sabaody Archipelago, ch. 510, where it was the whole crew against the Pacifistas. The only bigger reactions were Brook and Chopper ("So many Zoros!!" - how cute!)
Luffy went right after Zoro with his last attack against the Pacifistas, so he's either seen Zoro's attack or it just wasn't the time or place to react, which, fair.
and then, third and last time so far Zoro went into his Asura form, it was up against Kaido, ch. 1010, when Luffy was out of it and Kaido was threatening how he would end Luffy in various ways.. which only angered Zoro more ("That's my captain!" - yeah, tell him, Zoro!)
All of these three times we've seen Asura, it was against few of the most dangerous opponents and all three times Zoro had his bandana on, being serious about it. All three of these times he knew his whole crew was fighting for their lives too and were in very real danger. Enies Lobby really changed the tone of the next few arcs with how serious things were about to go; Sabaody was just after Thriller Bark with Zoro being still injured and he knew what Kuma/Pacifistas were capable of - there was real fear and despair. And of course, on Wano against Kaido,. he saw how much damage Luffy took, Zoro could only hope to put more wounds on Kaido to count in their favor.
Zoro knew he had one last attack to try and make some difference in this fight - and this was before his fight with King, so he wasn't fully in sync with Enma yet, but it was good enough to unlock Asura technique - with something more to it.
Apparently along with his haki - not just the armament or observation haki, but the supreme king haki, as Kaido himself is shocked to find out. Zoro wasn't even consciously aware of having/using this haki.
Even the wiki mentions this as Zoro adding the supreme king haki to his Asura attack to strenghten it, or possibly was only able to unlock this technique because of having supreme king haki - meaning he was possibly using it even in both of those pre-time skip situations mentioned above.
The supreme king haki is something people can't learn, but are born with, meaning Zoro probably didn't know until Wano (and still wasn't sure what he did), but possibly learnt to use it instinctively - very much like Luffy on Amazon Lily.)
I already made a post that touched a bit on King of hell Zoro, and other parts around Asura (clearly, i'm never done thinking about that), with a very big possibility/hints that he could come from lineage of people of the D. (asura - enemies of gods - people of D.) - especially if it's connected to supreme king haki as inherited ability (although that isn't confirmed in the manga, as far as I understood).
This brings me to Zoro's family, and specifically Ryuma.
Wano was a great arc that connected things from Thriller Bark -with Zoro returning the legendary sword Shusui back to Ryuma's grave where it belonged.
There was an interesting panel at the end of Wano, where people were celebrating Luffy's victory over Kaido, but were given the name Joyboy as their savior - possibly Momonosuke's doing as Luffy told him not to mention him by name because Luffy didn't want to be a hero.
And in this panel, the peple are comparing this feat of victory to the legendary "God of the Blade" - which is another title for Ryuma.
It's so curious how Zoro is connected to Ryuma, even through span of many centuries and countries across, but still there is that connection, on top of actually fighting Ryuma's zombie on Thriller Bark, and Zoro isn't even aware of it. We only know about it from the SBS corner of Oda mentioning Zoro's family. (SBS corner in vol. 105. Ryuma wasn't mentioned there precisely, but the name Shimotsuki being of Zoro's grandmother and others from Wano, it makes sense they're Ryuma's descendants):
Side note: There's also something really beautiful of how the Shimotsuki line was passed down on Zoro from his grandmother - and his promise he cherishes since childhood being tied to Kuina, someone who wanted to be the greatest swords(wo)man - and therefore Zoro carrying Wado and that dream and promise for her.
Zoro & Luffy
Now to tie it all back to parallels with Zoro and Luffy - I love that there are always these small moment in how similar these two are - in their honest words and actions, in them believing in one another and believing even more in reaching their dreams, their crew and their strengths. In both being so directionally clueless and sometimes outright stupid, yet in certain situations (more so in battles and fights), they are the ones sometimes smartest and most strategic.
Then there's these other similarities between them: how much they don't care about what's told about them or -be it by luck or fate- how things work out in their favor in the end, usually. How both of them don't wish to be heroes, because heroes had to share (food and sake).
How there's that fact that Zoro doesn't know the full context of his powers, especially with his supreme king haki- or that he doesn't want to know the truth or put a name to that ability, because he fights with his swords and doesn't need to put belief of any other powers beside his own strength. (Or maybe he will soon learn how to use it to his (and his crew's) benefit.)
and Luffy, who doesn't know probably anything about Nika- and most likely wouldn't care much about them beside the scope of his new powers. The whole meaning of being something like "sun god" for others didn't register with him yet, and it might never be that important to him personally. Time after time, people around him mention luck or fate, or how people of the D. are the enemies of the Gods - enemies of the celestial dragons, but those don't really matter to Luffy because it doesn't change why he fights and why he needs himself and others to be free and achieve his dream.
How Zoro and Ryuma could be parallels to Luffy and Joyboy - one living in the present, reminiscent of those that lived centuries ago - something about the history always repeating.
When Zoro got to fight Ryuma on Thriller Bark, or even Hyogoro compares him to Shimotsuki Ushimaru (Zoro's great uncle),
and how Zunesha was waiting for Joyboy, how Roger and Oden found messages from Joyboy of his promises to return.
The parallels between sun god Nika and demon god/king Asura are so interesting in their opposites yet similarities. There's still so much we don't know about Nika or Joyboy, but Luffy himself isn't just the perfect picture of responsibility or justice. He's free, and that's the most important for him. He now has the power to do what he really wants to do with his powers, he unlocked that new potential to make it even more fun and even more dangerous against his enemies.
Even if Zoro's saying he doesn't believe in higher powers he embraces the powers that unlocked with Enma and getting him the title of King of Hell, he knows it would be the things that would keep him fighting for another minute, hour, day when it becomes necessary to protect Luffy and their crew.
Zoro may not believe in any gods but he believes in Luffy with all his being.
And in the similar vein, Luffy is the one who always believed in Zoro's strength and capability to protect the rest of their crew when it was necessary, times after time.
It's feels like it's not at all a coincidence that Luffy's whole crew is full of otherness and beings connected to hell/monsters/demons more than anything divine - because lot of the gods in One Piece are mentioned in context of standing above others and above common people - it's a bit flipped of what's good or not, or even more it's never clear because that's life, and those people are just claiming some titles. Eneru being the first example of a "god" the Straw Hats encountered, celestial dragons being called Gods, the Gorosei having each titles of "Godhead" - it's no wonder that Luffy's crew all fights for freedom and reaching whatever each of them needs to achive as their dream,
and includes: a dead man but living skeleton Brook; a demon child Nico Robin; Chopper "I don't mind being a monster for Luffy.'"; Sanji with all his hell fire and "diable" kicks and attacks, along with his non human strength and other abilities; Nami wielding the powers similar to Eneru without the need of both Devil Fruit or being called a goddess, and bringing down lightning on anyone who threatens her crew; Usopp and his powers of nature and plants sprouting new life and strengths from long distance; Jimbei - fishman and former Sun Pirate and also "First son of the Sea"; Franky the more cyborg than a man; and of course, Roronoa "I might as well become the King of Hell" Zoro.
It's not all so black and white, good or bad. Luffy is still everything that makes him Luffy - he's honest and selfish in his selflesness, kind and brave and stubborn, and always knows that Zoro (and his whole crew) has his back so he doesn't have to hold back.
And Zoro is still Zoro despite being able to wield some newer haki powers he's slowly discovering now. He's still getting lost and still is his stubborn self that puts the crew and Luffy above himself, and would follow Luffy into hell if that was needed.
Luffy and Zoro are "just" captain and his first mate, always throughout the story since the beginning. Orphans with such interestingly woven past and relationships around them, who grew up with a big dream they had to go and achieve it no matter what, and found someone just as honest, kind, powerful and trustworthy as they were. But there's that deep and fierce devotion that always borderlines on something beyond just good. They're pirates - because that means being free.
They can be chaotic and powerful, and find something divine in the loyalty of the demonic powers, and something hellish in the god-like entity bringing freedom.
It feels like something Roger said to Rayleigh when they first met - That it was a fated meeting.

You want to know what love is. You want to know what it feels like. And I don’t know you, and calm down, and it happens. I wanted it to be you. And you wanted it to be me. I think before I can speak, unwrap - an artist you’d like, something that reminds me of you. And you ask why. And you’re the only person here I know. And you’re the only person here that cares about anything that’s real. This city is a graveyard city and no one here cares about the important things; no one cares about the roots that are growing and spreading and attacking from underneath the surface because they’re feeding them. I think maybe you’re the last piece of truth in this world of serpents and rotting apples.
I talk to my walls and they talk to me.
I’ve been unhappy · down · disconsolate , you know. You’re so selfish, you know. I’m no one. And I’ve changed, I promise. Three years is 1095 days and if I changed today I’ve been changing every one of those 1095 days, you know. I know it’s late but I’m learning. And I’m leaning into this - the truth. Your truth. A maladaptive daydream, halfwalking halfsleeping halfliving from Redland to Eastville. Reduced to Ash, burning in the sun and the rain and the snow and the cars that go ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch. And if one of these zombies in the graveyard got up and looked around they’d see it too but their roots run deeper than the ground they were buried in.
I had to quit my life. It wasn’t working. Hiding behind a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. And you rinsed my lungs with detergents, you used to stay up every night with me and scrub my organs with Fairy and Ecover until your image was reflected. I had quit my life. I won’t go back to this world. I can’t go back to this world. With half people and paper faces with happy/sad/confused/angry. A world like a web, that no one told you about, with writhing intestines spilling out of everyones abommodems and bleeding all over your detergents. Sometimes my organs grew so deep that you couldn’t scrub them with bleach.
Happy sad happy sad happy sad happy sad happy sad happy sad happy sad. Is this genetic. Is this everywhere, or is our city a pocket of the world that slipped into the 3rd dimension. Pictures that are skewed by a nanometer. Pockets of warm air that grew and spread and consumed and tore everyone’s faces off with a scalpel. I don’t know if you can see it too.

one piece chapter 1118 spoilers
i absolutely loved the last two pages of this chapter!
luffy telling bonney to become like him, and bonney to get the future of being free! seeing herself completely free!
that's the whole deal of luffy - not only bringing freedom to people, but slowly helping them see what it means, to want to free themselves!
and it works - bonney can imagine that future, and become the most free - when luffy is most free, he's nika. so she becomes nika, too. i adore this storytelling!
we don't know how much her fighting style would be similar to luffy - but the iron giant possibly reacts to her too, the gorosei feel something is wrong, and i love that it could mean this power is not just luffy's, but maybe whoever who can get into that mindset of freedom (or like bonney adapt with her abilities) - because that's what nika inspired, "he will take you out under the sun to the freedom of the sea" (from ch. 1095).
i love it because luffy doesn't want to be the hero, or worshipped or celebrated. he just wants to be the pirate king, and this - the sharing of the power or its similarities - is something that feels so fitting for him to make happen. he won't share his food (with almost anyone), but he will share these powers to fight for his goals. he doesn't know what or who nika is, (and bonney calling him that twice now is still fun), because it doesn't matter who he is - it matter what he is, and that is free.
