Chapter 1100 came out this Sunday, wow. 1100 chapters in. 100 chapters PAST chapter 1000. Just an insane amount of content for one series. Anyways, something funny I noticed, in the chapter is that when Kuma becomes the new warlord they say he replaced someone.

Some people are saying this is in reference to Jimbei but I really don't think so. He was a warlord up to Marineford, which is several years after the time this chapter takes place, so he, in this panel, is still a warlord. Look all of them are counted to total to seven

So who did Kuma replace? I initially thought it was Shanks maybe? It could explain in part the amount of clout he has with the Gorosei, which the arc is heavily expanding upon. Maybe it could explain how he amassed his territory before becoming an Emporer. But

This panel shows that this takes place when Luffy is about a teenager, nearing the age he set off to be a pirate give or take a year to a couple months. And by this time Shanks has been an established Emporer for like 10ish years. So if it was Shanks then there would be like a 12 year gap where the WG just didn't have a 7th Warlord. Which makes no sense to me.

And in the last couple panels Moria was already past his prime, which means he's made the Zombies, which means he's already collected the corpses of notable Rocks Pirates like Captian John, which means the former Rocks pirates we know are all ruled out (Shiki is MIA, Whitebeard is literally in the panel as an Emporer and so is Big Mom and Kaido. Glorosia is there, Stussy is in the current timeline a cohort of a warlord, Silver Axe is also a Moria zombie).

EXCEPT ONE.

Maybe it's Wangzhi? (Ochoku). Because in the current time of the manga we know he was the former owner of Full-o-lead Island. I'm guessing that's how he acquired the territory once owned by his captian, and somehow he fell out of grace with the government??

DataGuard, which provides GDPR and privacy compliance-as-a-service, raises $20M

New Post has been published on https://magzoso.com/tech/dataguard-which-provides-gdpr-and-privacy-compliance-as-a-service-raises-20m/

DataGuard, which provides GDPR and privacy compliance-as-a-service, raises $20M

Watchdogs have started to raise the issue that new working practices and online activity necessitated by the spread of the coronavirus pandemic are creating new sets of privacy, security and data protection challenges. Today a startup is announcing a growth round of funding to help online businesses navigate those issues better.

DataGuard, a Munich-based startup that provides “GDPR-as-a-service” — essentially a cloud-based platform to help those doing business online ensure that they are compliant with various regional regulations and best practices around privacy by analysing customers’ data processing activities, offering options and suggestions for improving privacy compliance, providing them with the ability to modify their IT infrastructure and internal processes to do so — has raised $20 million, money that it will be using to continue expanding its business across Europe and the Americas and to continue investing in building out its technology.

The funding is coming from a single investor, London’s One Peak, and is the first outside funding for the company. We’re asking but it looks like DataGuard is not disclosing its valuation with this round.

The news is coming at a critical time in the world of venture funding. We are seeing a mix of deals that either were closed or close to closing before the worst of the pandemic reared its ugly head (meaning: some deals are just going to be put on ice, Zoom meeting or not); or are being done specifically to help with business continuity in the wake of all the interruption of normal life (that is, the business is too interesting not to help prop it up); or are closing specifically because the startup has built something that is going to demonstrate just how useful it is in the months to come.

As with the strongest of funding rounds, DataGuard into a couple of those categories.

On one hand, it has demonstrated a demand for its services before any of this hit. Today, the startup provides privacy policy services both to small and medium businesses as well as larger enterprises, and it has picked up 1,000 customers since launching in 2017.

“Millions of companies are striving to comply with privacy regulation such as GDPR or CCPA,” said Thomas Regier, (pictured, left) who co-founded the company with Kivanc Semen (right), in a statement.

“We are excited to partner with One Peak to help many more organizations across the globe become and remain privacy compliant. Our Privacy-as-a-Service solution provides customers with access to a proprietary full-stack platform and services from a dedicated team of data privacy experts. This enables customers to gain insights into their data processing activities and to operationalize privacy and compliance across their entire organization.”

Regier tells us that the company was bootstrapped to 100 employees, which also underscores the company’s capital efficiency, also especially attractive at the moment.

On the other, the wholesale shift to more online and remote working, combined with a giant surge in online traffic caused by more people staying at home to reduce the number of new Covid-19 cases, is driving a lot more traffic and stress testing to websites, apps and other online services.

All that creates precisely the kind of environment where we might, for a period, overlook some of the trickier and more exacting aspects of privacy policies, but which are nonetheless important to keep intact, not least because malicious hackers could take advantage of vulnerable situations, or regulators eventually refocus and come back with heavy fines, or consumers respond with bad PR and more.

“We have a truly horizontal product that has the potential to become an integral part of the tech stack in enterprises and SMBs alike,” said Semen in a statement. “We will use the funding to deliver on our product roadmap. We will achieve this in two ways: By increasing automation levels through improvements of the machine learning capabilities in our privacy software suite and by speeding up our development of new product categories.”

DataGuard is one of a number of startups that have emerged to help businesses navigate the waters of privacy regulations, which are usually not the core competencies of the companies but have become an essential part of how they can (and should) do business online.

Others include OneTrust, which also helps companies provide and run better data protection policies; and InCountry, which is specifically focused on providing services to help companies understand and comply with data protection policies that vary across different regions. OneTrust last year passed a $1 billion valuation, speaking to the huge opportunity and demand in this space.

OnePeak believes that DataGuard’s take on the proposition is one of the more effective and efficient, one reason it’s backed the team. “We are incredibly excited to back DataGuard’s world-class founding team,” says David Klein, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at One Peak, in a statement. “We are convinced that DataGuard’s cutting-edge software suite combined with its comprehensive service offering provides both enterprises and SMBs with an end-to-end solution that fulfils their data privacy needs across the board.”

So chapter 1052 says there are pirates, plural, who've been dubbed Empire's since 2 just fell (Big Mom and Kaido). So there are the current other emporiers Shanks and Blackbeard, and Luffy is basically confirmed so the 4th Emporer is still up for debate. Rn people are saying either Law or Kidd will get the title BUT doesn't this situation remind you of something?

Luffy, Blackbeard, and Shanks forming a quartet around the same space? We are only missing the 4th guy...and then I remembered one of my favorite volume covers

LOOK!!! LOOK!!! ARE YOU BLIND!!! BUGGY D. CLOWN WILL FAIL UPWA- EARN HIS RIGHFUL TITLE AS EMPORER OF THE SEA!!!

And for the skeptics, just keep in mind Oda has done this before. He wrote Buggy into the warlord position for sheer comedy. And people will probably be like,"he isn't even qualified 🙄"

1. Neither was he for the warlord position

2. He is.

The man has the army he got from all the freed prisioners from Impel Down

The territory he gained from his weapons company from assuming all of Doflamingos former customers

The infamy from running a weapons manufacturing and selling hub plus mercenaries and bieng a former Roger Pirate

And he's a pirate captian

[sihkei]

So after reading chapter 1053 it's confirmed Law was the next yonko which makes alot of sense

I LIED, ITS BUGGY!!!!! WHAT DID I SAY LAST WEEK?!?!?!?!? IVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE HE WAS ANNOUNCED AS WARLORD

LETS GOOOO!!!! CLOWN EMPORER BUGGY!!!!!! THE FIRST RIVAL OF LUFFY, THE ONLY ONE WHO ALMOST KILLED HIM. EQUAL TO SHANKS AND SUCCESSOR OF GOL D. ROGER, BUGGY D. CLOWN HAS GRACED THE GRAND LINE AS THE NEXT PIRATE EMPORER

Alright I'm gonna reblog this post like 5 or 6 times with Buggy appreciation pictures.

Also I've been calling this dude Buggy D. Clown like his actual initials are D. but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Oda revealed him as a D. clan member

Luffys actual ambitions

Chapter 1,049 came out recently and everyone is focusing on the supposed end to the fight between Kaido and Luffy. But people aren't paying attention to what Luffy says to Kaido before he hands him that fade.

Now many people think this dialogue refers to Otama and the other citizens of Wano who are currently starving. But I think these words carry more relevance.

I think this dialogue is the one that's been hinted at for the past 10 years. The words Luffy and Roger said to Sabo, Ace, Oden, and Whitebeard.

Every arc ends with a couple scenes of the crew having a banquet with the inha inhabitants of the island they jusy liberated. Now how would bieng Pirate King help Luffy feed his friends? Idk maybe he thinks treasure can help pay for meals instead of having to dine and dash like he did with his brothers.

In chapter 1 he promises Makino that he'd pay his tab with his pirate treasure and Makino says she and the village would celebrate his efforts which is exaclty how every arc ends.

It's kindve like how when Who's Who talked about Nika it was revealed later that Luffy is Nika idk maybe its another situation like that

This new color spread 😍

ODA MADE 1,053 CHAPTERS OF A MANGA AND THEN SAID IT WAS A PROLOGUE?!?!?!??!?!

Do you know how fucking crazy that is??? Imagine playing video game and 8 hours in, 4 bosses fought, and you get legendary loot the game decides to flash the title as if it just began. I'm going to go fucking feral

[sihkei]

What I love about One Piece is that it desensitized me to long pieces of media. Freidns will send me video essays like, "ohh you don't gotta watch this if the length is too intimidating, it is an hour long after all."

HAH no go ahead and give me that video essay bruh. I watched a 1,014 episode show about a pirate finding treasure, and we haven't even found out what the treasure is yet.

And here's this picture of Bon Clay 💞. The new queen of level 5.5 of Impel Down

All you basic hoes could never understand the hype around this image 💯

Spoilers for chapter 1,059

Oda is going all in on the Bible allusions with the roll out of the new Pacafistas he's dubbed as the "Seraphim"

And they are all made from spliced Warlord and Lunarian DNA hence the resemblance to Mihawk/Boa and Arber(King) with the melanin,white hair, and wings. No wonder the world government felt comfortable abolishing the warlords. These kids are already contending with Yonkos. Also if they figured out how to utilize the Warlord dna has Vegapunk figured out why Blackbeard can eat more than one devil fruit???

Also Shakky was a former caption of the Kuja pirates. Which explains why Garp used to chase her down. Better than my theory I thought she was a part of Rocks.

And Rayleigh stops the fight by showing up. Not a single attack used. He's just that guy.

[sihkei]

OH and remember the "Man Marked by Flames" mentioned a long while back? I thought it was Saul, because he would know the location of the Poneglyph, but would he? He can't read them and when he interacted with the Oharans....well there wasn't time for learning. You know who would know where the Poneglyph is? Someone who's been there before, on a crew that mightve reached the end of the Grandline. The Ro...ger pirates! ! !

No but it's making more sense that a Rocks pirate would be the "Man Marked by Flames" and it would make sense why Blackbeard sought out Ochoku, for the deets!!

….I totally forgot about this convo but I’m now willing this to be the EXACT Buggy/Shanks/Luffy reunion, since this absolute galaxy brain of a theory was correct

So chapter 1052 says there are pirates, plural, who've been dubbed Empire's since 2 just fell (Big Mom and Kaido). So there are the current other emporiers Shanks and Blackbeard, and Luffy is basically confirmed so the 4th Emporer is still up for debate.
