He will have to break off the fight in my opinion before Zoro gets serious otherwise Lucci will get killed. My opinion is that Lucci will be backstabbed by someone when he is weakened by the fights or something else, he will die by a member of CP or a disguised double agent if front of the Strawhats, stealing Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Franky's revenge for what happened earlier.
We never saw Luffy's initial reaction with Greenbull. When we saw him watching the fight, he was already aware of his presence so there was no need for him to go like "someone very strong is here". As for Fujitora, he already had his first impression of him in the casino, he was already aware that he was not a normal old man, minus the fact that Fujitora was an admiral. As for Kizaru, Luffy was kind of caught off guard, Kizaru literally flew in at the speed of light, so Luffy was surprised when he suddenly sensed someone powerful was closing in out of knowhere. I don't think he was scared or worried, he was just surprised because it was so sudden.
That, & just because Kizaru & Green Bull are both admirals does not mean they are equals. I'd bet it's OG 3 > Fuji >> Green Bull (with GB surpassing Fuji after a while)
@@blackwind92hmmm, interesting. I don't know that I see particular reason to put Fuji below the original 3, and I certainly don't know why you think Greenbull is set up for massive growth. Aside from the plant pun, I guess. Yeah, not sure I agree with this take.
@@calliopeshif7581 Just circumstance re: Fuji. He's obviously strong as hell, but in their mad dash to rebalance the scales after losing 2 Admirals, I doubt they found actual equals that quickly. & I'm honestly expecting the story to end/him to die before GB gets any massive growth. But he's young(er), so I'm assuming he should eventually, if he could 🤷♂️
@@blackwind92that’s a good point the og 3 admirals r close in age and rose through the ranks around the same time so it would make sense for them to be relatively equal but green bull is much younger then fujitora and we dk how long either of them have had their powers so it could be very possible that Fuji has a lot more experience with his fruit and in general as well as much better haki but seeing how gb is an admiral and considered a monster the same as fuji I can’t see him being that much below fuji
Kaku's pride as a giraffe and his genuine belief that giraffe's are awesome has to have played a part in his awakening and resonance with his fruit. No one else has shown as much pride in their fruits, Blackbeard coming in a close second with the darkness fruit.
If you don't think Kaku is a genius devil fruit user, go back and watch his fight with zoro at enies lobby. Man was pulling out new abilities left and right. Pasta machine went hard af.
Just the fact that he was that skilled with his df usage after only having it for maybe a few hours shows how intelligent and skilled he is as a df user
Another point for Kaku being one of the most talented inante devil fruit users on the seas is that he literally not only figured out all his transformations and how to use them and which situations they were best for, he also developed multiple, multiple special attacks that literally no one else would figure out from being a giraffe man for a couple hours
@@Stachelbeeerchen even tho hes literally a highly trained secret agent assassin lol. I find it endearing that even tho it's his job and what he's naturally skilled with and it allines with his morals he'd much rather try to talk it out or solve things without violence if he could, and doesn't care to appear dangerous or scary, he already knows he's deadly so he doesn't need tough guy posturing
This is thanks to his love of giraffes/animals, it literally could not be anymore perfect compatibility than this. Its like with luffy when he got gum gum, who would have thought of inflating themselves with air when they acquired rubber properties, or ever thought of the gear system, no one else would have thought of doing any of these other than luffy.
The Luffy freaking out over a strong character heading this way is a parallel to shanks freaking out over Kidd's attack. He was worried for all the weaker crews, similarly Luffy was worried if anyone other than himself was to face Kizaru first. After everything in Wano, it'd be really weird for Luffy to panicking about his own safety.
no, no it was not, it was clearly implied multiple times that shanks was scared for his crew, from the future sight, to the statement from one of his fleet members. Luffy was not shown neither implied to have used future sight, and his statement was very straight forward. "Someone very strong is coming" meaning that person is a threat to everyone, including him. Thats it. Not "someone who is strong enough to hurt my crew is coming" not "Someone is gonna hurt you guys". Nothing like that, stop tryna maneuver around the the obvious fact to push your goofy agendas
@@Call911pleaseeI don't think you understood what the commenter meant when they said that luffy was parallel to shanks in that moment... no one claimed luffy used future sight as it would not make any sense considering the circumstances. I think you're downplaying our main character too much because of personal preferences
What if Kizaru is the one who told Sentomaru that he has the strongest defense? Maybe when Kizaru finished teaching Sentomaru and Sentomaru asked him how has he done. Then he said ‘I think you have the strongest defense in the world~ ☺️‘ And Sentomaru is so proud of it that he keeps telling everyone that.
Kaku with his awakening speedrun made all the Beast Pirates look like jobers in comparison. Dude did in less than 2 years what they couldnt do in decades!
Honestly i know its a "cope out answer" but king and queen both seem more interested in further their power through different means than the devil fruit King lunarians abilities Queen cybernetic So maybe they never trained their DF
@@Neuviletteiudexofmemesbest and the fact that most common Zoan devil fruits likely have a very low skill/power ceiling to reach they're Awakening, and I just don't see the common versions of the devil fruits unlike something like the Nika fruit for the simple fact that it's so flexible and free, or maybe even kaido's Dragon devil fruit that probably need you to surpass the heavens and beyond for waking. Honestly most zoan devil fruit are pretty simple to master compared to the other two devil fruit types.
Kaku was doing weird goofy stuff with his fruit like literally the second he got it, so it makes perfect sense to me that his 'mind and body caught to the potential of his fruit' so quickly in comparison
@@yuvrajsingh15823 Haki is naturally intertwined with G5 hence why the first thing Luffy did once he transformed was split the skies by himself, so Lucci lasted quite a while against G5 while he was using haki. If you meant no advanced haki in regard to Lucci, then it is highly likely he has advanced armament, he is a masked member of CP0 after all. Also King was only really durable when his flame was up and he was effectively immortal. Once King dropped his flame to attack he was very easy to knock out and (i may be very wrong but) iirc it only took zoro 2-3 hits to knock out King once he dropped his flame. Lucci on the other hand is an awakened Zoan which gives him massive increases to his defence and durability so while he may not be effectively immortal he traded insane levels of durability when not attacking and no durability when he is attacking to being slightly less durable but able to attack all the time
Momo for some reason didn't have to go through the fish stage of the fruit, and knowing that Momo's fruit is "defective" then we can assume that Momo's fruit is just a Dragon Dragon fruit instead of a Fish Fish fruit
I think the shadow that Shaka saw was Caribou and he’s carrying out some sinister plan for Blackbeard who I think he works for. Also I really want to see the Buggy seraphim, he would be so overpowered.
I’ve always seen Kizaru as a sadist who enjoyed slowly ending people with his speed. He slowly peppered up Whitebeard with laser shots even though he could have Death Starred him. He likes to inflict maximum pain and despair before terminating them. Aokiji and Akainu do their duty, to varying extremes, Fujitora and Greenbull put things in their “proper” place (Fuji puts things where they were supposed to be and Greenbull does in the way that he keeps oppressive systems in place, keeping people down) but Kizaru is a terrifying outlier. He has no justice system, he’s just the best at what he does and what he does isn’t very nice.
I think it makes complete sense for Kaku to awaken his fruit so fast, since he said he really liked giraffes from the very moment he got the fruit powers. If a Zoan fruit can choose its "master", there's no reason not to believe Kaku's fruit chose him
my favorite thing about kaku is how normal he feels in comparison to the other Cipher Pol members. I mean, he's objectively very weird himself, but compared to people like lucci and the other CP9/CP0 members, he's just a regular guy. you could get lunch with him.
I hope we get to see the name reveals of the Vice Admirals that participated the invasion of Egghead Island aside from Doll, the lady who casually kicked a Pacfista unit in the head.
I feel after Timeskip, everyone is like super over-powered. We know the Timeskip is for the SH crew to become stronger and on par with Admirals but seems like everyone has to be powered-up suddenly. Like it doesn't do justice for the SH crew. Pre-Timeskip, we see the WB taking down VA like a bowling ball taking down pins and post time-skip, even VA can just kicked a pacifista unit. And what about Lucci, how does Oda going to justify in him being on-par with Zoro. I would be absolutely mad if a normal Zoan can be more powerful than any of Kaido 3 Ancient Zoans users. They need to nerf the existing users and people with VA ranks. The SH (especially the monster trio + Jimbei & Franky) are "supposed" to sweep everyone aside apart from the Yonkos, Admirals and Yonkos commanders.
@@unknownincognito2425 true but the marines are aware as coby for instance has been addressed as being part of sword from chapter 1088 i doubt it wouldn’t be known amongst the top brass
I find it hard to believe the likes of Kaido and Marco hadn't awoken their DF. Also didn't Crocodile introduce the concept of awakened DFs with the Guardian Beasts or whatever they were called in Imepl Down?
I look forward to seeing Lucci showing off more inventive applications of the Six Powers. I feel like we don't get enough from the non-haki fighting systems.
I've got hope for Franky. At the next big war the Straw Hats have he'll most likely show off all sorts of new modifications that were inspired by Vegapunk and all the technology on Egghead, kinda like how Nami's Clima-tact got a major upgrade in Enies Lobby after the introduction of dials in Skypiea
About knocking out York, i would have agreed with you prior to this chapter.. but Sentomaru is specifically higher ranked than control chip holders, and when he was knocked out Kizaru (who was only a control chip holder) was able to directly override his control of the pacifistas. Meaning that yes, if the controller is knocked out then their authority goes with them. If york is knocked out, her orders go with her. The other vegapunks can override those orders.
I can see the fight against Kizaru being a defining moment in Luffy further developing his future sight, there's still a huge gap between Shank's future sight and where luffy is, and it's considerably large where Luffy can maybe see a second or two into the future, Shanks can see ten seconds or so. Observation haki thrives when the user is in a tranquil and calm state, and who is more calm and tranquil than Kizaru? (Seriously he looks high all the time) Considering his devil fruit abilities as well it would make sense for him to have a really good future sight to predict where his light should go and how to best use it considering its fairly linear pattern. Now will Luffy get absolutely curb stomped? Probably not, I can see this fight causing confusion with Kizaru if gear 5 gets unveiled again and the chaos making it difficult for Kizaru to properly plan around his abilities and stress him out to a degree much like Katakuri during his fight with Luffy. Honestly I would be super stoked if this is another Haki evolution fight, I always love the deeper dive into how Haki works as now it's decently clear Haki isn't as linear as say the power level system in Dragonball, it's very nuanced and has great utility.
As many have already suggested, I doubt that the fight between Luffy and Kizaru will have a definitive winner. What's more likely is that the two will get a chance to flex a bit, and then something or someone will interrupt the fight. But the final saga so far has been pretty unpredictable, so Luffy defeating an Admiral and finally starting to be respected on the same level as the other Youkous would be pretty cool.
I know the plan is to escape, but that was before Luffy knew kizaru was here, he could very easily tell them “ strawhats…plans have changed, I’m kicking his ass” and then that could possibly have the grand fleet come in to Take care of the fleet outside.
@@ryanstarr2389 Yeah, I'm in favour of the escalation theory. Oda doesn't usually mention that something will shake the world if it's just 2 players involved. But mostly I would love to see some fight punching 😅
9:50 I feel like Sentoumaru saying he "has the best def in the world" is akin to when Zoro would say "there's nothing I cant cut", its like a self made mantra to hype yourself up and give you a mental image of being impervious or undefeatable
@@prabhatdeshmukh9592who tf said he isn’t powerful?💀 his point is that what makes kizaru especially concering to them, is that he single handedly caused what was then the worst day of the straw hat crew’s life, they wouldn’t just forget that
It could be that while Kizaru is the person Luffy recognized as strong, it was less about his actual strength and more about the fact that he dealt them such a stinging defeat before the timeskip. Firstly, he's an admiral and as such is a pretty big deal, second he's the only admiral who remains from before the timeskip so he's tough enough to keep his seat, and third he defeated them before. It's like having that one teacher you always feared from elementary school because they were a tough as nails no-nonsense teacher, but coming back to the school after graduation that mental image is still in your mind until you actually meet them again.
The thing with franky not being too involved in egghead makes sense, its the same as when reighly offered to tell luffy about the one piece, they dont want the awnsers to everything spoon fed to them, that takes away the fun of the discovery, it kills the dream
@@aeis3007 That would be just as cool, and what I really expect to happen, but that Parvision theory just has that glimmer of hope since we've never heard that Tom had died or that he had even made it to Impel Down.
@@CriosAntariTom clearly died. That's the main reason Water 7 and Enies Lobby happened. If Tom was alive the wg wouldn't need to look for the blueprints of Pluton to begin with
Honestly, Kaku being the best Devil Fruit user (at least best Zoan user) shouldn't be too surprising. Mere hours after eating his fruit, he developed all sorts of techniques making use of abilities that Giraffes Most Definitely Cannot Do (even accounting for how awesome and powerful giraffes are innately). Kaku is simply the best.
1:53 - Jokes on you, I'm not wearing anything right now. Though admittedly, that makes your ad for body coverings quite a bit more compelling. Edit: Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Kizaru's nostalgia for the Straw Hat Pirates might be for different reasons than sadistic pleasure or him being a laid back fight junkie. I think it's entirely possible that Kizaru kinda likes them or at least finds them entertaining. Not enough to stop him from trying to kill them, but I feel like Kizaru being kind fond of the Straw Hats is entirely possible.
The fact that you mentioned that Kaku awakened his fruit in a little over 2 years, made me think about the fact that zoan fruits have a mind of their own and almost seeking out their users. I'm gonna assume that it was mainly to hype up Luffy as fated to have Nika, like this shitty little boy from some village ate the fruit that the world government has been trying to get for many many years. But it could also be an explanation to the fact that many of the awakenings are zoan fruits, cause they actively seek out a user that fits them. All the jailer beasts, Luffy, Lucci and Kaku are all awakened. Kaku did showcase some INSANE creativity in his fight with Zoro back in Enies lobby, and even expressed his love for giraffes. Him having the giraffe devil fruit is almost certainly fated imo.
I voted for Zoro not to underestimate Rob Lucci but by the logic that Zoro has been very close to Luffy in terms of strength throughout the whole series and even though Luffy got a crazy power up in gear 5 I still believe that Zoro isn’t too far behind.
I can't help but feel a little sorry for Kaku in this chapter; given what Sanji says after bubbling him, Kaku wasn't even aware of what Lucci was plotting, and the guy had just come off from an apparently rough fight. ...I may be a little biased *looks at username* 😁
I think kaku has always been set up as the least worst cipher pol guy. he seemed to genuinely like running around on water 7 and felt something when zoro told him he was fired. at the very least he's definitely not as sadistic as lucci
Best devil fruit user ever. Real talk his intro fixing vessels and identifying problems, then when revealed to be a bad guy, states: no just because I was an undercover doesnt mean I didnt do my job properly. I like honesty, so when he lies to the crew kind of didnt like that, (is being undercover considered lying??? *small existential crisis*)
01:32 is pure gold. As for the fight, I doubt it will be purely about Zoro, as in, it probably won't be an easy fight for Zoro, but at the same time, it probably won't be a fight that Zoro learns something from or walks away from as a better fighter. It will probably play out something like Zoro vs Killer, not like Zoro vs Hody Jones, not like Zoro vs King, with maybe no conclusion at all.
On the Sanji with a gun at Whiskey Peak, part of my mind whispers that it’s funnier if he was actually aiming it at Usopp in the event the crew sniper shot at Robin with his sling shot. It probably isn’t that but it’s a funny passing thought.
11:39 The command priority always confused me. Lucci *literally* did that to Sentomaru. He knocked out Sentomaru and took control over the seraphim, despite having lower command priority
OMG, I so appreciate the use of the "to shreds you say" Futurama clip. I don't think I've ever typed this phrase before, but that clip has been living rent-free in my head for years.
How have you NOT considered Kaku as a candidate for the best Devil Fruit user before? Don't you remember how insanely creative and effective his abilities were in Ennies Lobby after having a fruit for like, A SINGLE DAY!? The man came up with literally every technique he used in Ennies Lobby on the fly, straight up naming them mid fight too (Something Zoro complained about by the way), and said techniques were giving Zoro some real trouble. That's seriously impressive you know. Admittedly, you could say something similar for Kalifa, but I would argue her techniques were significantly less effective.
About the Seraphim point, the commenter was indicating that since Kizaru can knock out Sentomaru and take SENTOMARU'S command cube to overwrite the Pacificas' commands, it's possible to do so for the Seraphims as well.
I have a very significant feeling that this arc sees Kizaru defeated and Lucci dead. Lucci’s had a long detailed storyline and his former unbeatable/scary status being overthrown would be amazing.
I will point out that Kizaru started talking while Luffy was super far away and before he could finish Luffy was kicking him /without/ stretching in the next panel. That was a huge amount of distance to cover, a surprising amount of distance. I think Kizaru was caught off guard by how fast Luffy was. Yamato literally awakened his Devil Fruit in hours. He ate the Devil fruit when a child, but spent his entire life in sea prism cuffs until Luffy removed them. When Yamato was fighting Kaido alone while Luffy was eating, he was awakened.
Might be just me who noticed it, but at 13:30 to 13:40 , you can see the SS Dolphin in the background, which is the trusty spacecraft from Captain Olimar. It's funny to see two of my favorite franchises in the same video, albeit unintentionally 😂
I reread the part where Sanji pointed a gun at Robin, and I had two main take-aways: 1. He didn't realize who he was pointing it at; he realized Robin was a beautiful woman after the fact, so he just registered "Intruder" and jumped into action on instinct. 2. Usopp asked him if he knew what he was doing, and his answer was more-or-less "No."
That streaming company that used to replace blockbuster is dead to me. Has been since they canceled the only show I subscribed to them for solely because they confirmed another season, then a few days later said nah. Then the audacity to make a live action Dragonball level atrocity out of my second favorite story of all time.
"Awakening occurs when your mind and body catch up to your powers" Catching up to a giraffe power is probably harder than a sun god or an operating room or magnetic waves
I got to admit I laughed at the clip of the professor from Futurama that you used to predict Saturns reaction to Lucci defeat!! 😂😂. It’s definitely going to be close to that
that shadow reminds me of when the gorosei were seen that one time but were all shadowy, also looks like it might have shape of saturn's hair slightly, I WANNA SEE IT
Kaido's fruit is the carp carp, its awakening is a dragon because the ability has its roots in the Longmen Legend in which when a carp climbs the falls at the top of the mountain the yellow river runs thru it becomes a dragon
I really love all of this theory crafting and listening to various theories and ideas is one of my favorite things about being a One Piece fan. I regret not getting involved in this community sooner. I used to live in Japan, but I never read Shonen Jump. I would always wait for the book to release and then catch up. Reading one week at a time (or every other week) is certainly a slow drip, but all of the speculation and interacting with members of the community makes me feel like I am the 中間 of a different kind of crew. I have been a One Piece fan for almost a decade and a half, but have only been interacting with theorists for around two of those years. I can only imagine what these kinds of videos would have been like in the Marineford days...
in those days there weren´t really much op ytubers around tho, marineford was like nearly 15 years ago i think, hard to keep track over such long time period, I was weekly around impel down and by the time most theories were done on forums mostly. I think Arlong park was most likely the biggest one.
Absolutely flabbergasted. How in the world could you have known I was standing, sitting, or lying here with some sort of standard body covering. I am embarrassed to have been caught. Guess I will just have to get a non-standard body covering from store glr so that I can blend in.
I think you may have missed what was meant by the comment suggesting to knock out York. When Sentomaru was "knocked out" by Kizaru, he (of lower order) overwrote the command for the pacifistas, my guess is that they assumed it would work the exact same way for the Seraphim. Either way I agree that it likely wouldn't though
Kaku awakening his devil fruit in 2 years broke the theory that you needed to have one for like 10 years minimum to awaken them. Which in turn means the theory of Sabo awakening the Mera-Mera to beat Akainu is back on the table lol.
What makes you think Sanji is pointing that gun at Robin? It fits Sanji so much better when you realize he's pointing the gun at Usopp. How dare he threaten a woman in the presence of Sanji!
I think it's worth pointing out in the ViZ translation Kizaru says his defense is just as good as Sentomaru's, which is interesting. Especially sense he said it while dodging.
I think Luffy's surprise was more due to how fast Kizaru approached, like all of a sudden a strong person appears out of nowhere, and not due to how strong that someone was
I think Luffy's shock was Kizarux but not because of how strong he is, just because of PTSD. That's why he recovered so quickly and ate that meat, he wasn't worried or fearful of Kizaru, that face was just because the Sabaody trauma came to mind for a second, and he promptly replaced it with the excitement of getting some payback.
Lucci and kaku were forcibly awakened through unknown means, just like the beast jailers. They just avoided losing their humanity in the process. Theres no way to naturally awaken in 2 years
When Luffy was visibly shaken by the presence of someone strong, it could've been the memories of Saboady flooding back. But he soon reflects and remembers they got this.
I noticed that stussy was the first to recognize that lucci was going to attack vegapunk, even with sanjis advanced sense of observation; he wasn’t able to stop lucci. Or maybe he foresaw stussy in action and did nothing, it seems to be a testament to luccis speed
I don’t think you can really use this to judge Lucci’s speed against Sanji’s Observation Haki. Up until that moment, the room was relatively calm, so Sanji wouldn’t have been using his Observation Haki. If Lucci had gone for him or Nami, he probably would’ve sensed it, but Vegapunk was standing on the far side of the room. If I had to guess, Stussy realized Lucci was going for Vegapunk because she was much closer to him and because she is a Vegapunk creation.
Luffy mostly likely referred to Kizaru as the strong presence he sensed because he's probably hyper sensitive to Kizaru's power due to the trauma Kizaru inflicted. We can look at it as though Kizaru isn't the "strong presence needing attention right now" but "I recognize that strong aura, I want to deal with him"

The Luffy freaking out over a strong character heading this way is a parallel to shanks freaking out over Kidd's attack. He was worried for all the weaker crews, similarly Luffy was worried if anyone other than himself was to face Kizaru first. After everything in Wano, it'd be really weird for Luffy to panicking about his own safety.
I agree, thats what I thought as well, there is no way he is scared to face anyone at this point
no, no it was not, it was clearly implied multiple times that shanks was scared for his crew, from the future sight, to the statement from one of his fleet members. Luffy was not shown neither implied to have used future sight, and his statement was very straight forward. "Someone very strong is coming" meaning that person is a threat to everyone, including him. Thats it. Not "someone who is strong enough to hurt my crew is coming" not "Someone is gonna hurt you guys". Nothing like that, stop tryna maneuver around the the obvious fact to push your goofy agendas
I can see that
@@Call911pleaseeI don't think you understood what the commenter meant when they said that luffy was parallel to shanks in that moment... no one claimed luffy used future sight as it would not make any sense considering the circumstances. I think you're downplaying our main character too much because of personal preferences
What if Kizaru is the one who told Sentomaru that he has the strongest defense? Maybe when Kizaru finished teaching Sentomaru and Sentomaru asked him how has he done. Then he said ‘I think you have the strongest defense in the world~ ☺️‘ And Sentomaru is so proud of it that he keeps telling everyone that.
Kaku with his awakening speedrun made all the Beast Pirates look like jobers in comparison. Dude did in less than 2 years what they couldnt do in decades!
To be fair, man loves Giraffe’s.
@ZhongliArchonofSwag
this really may be the reason
Honestly i know its a "cope out answer" but king and queen both seem more interested in further their power through different means than the devil fruit
King lunarians abilities
Queen cybernetic
So maybe they never trained their DF
@@Neuviletteiudexofmemesbest and the fact that most common Zoan devil fruits likely have a very low skill/power ceiling to reach they're Awakening, and I just don't see the common versions of the devil fruits unlike something like the Nika fruit for the simple fact that it's so flexible and free, or maybe even kaido's Dragon devil fruit that probably need you to surpass the heavens and beyond for waking. Honestly most zoan devil fruit are pretty simple to master compared to the other two devil fruit types.
Kaku was doing weird goofy stuff with his fruit like literally the second he got it, so it makes perfect sense to me that his 'mind and body caught to the potential of his fruit' so quickly in comparison
Liam: "Do you seriously believe your own hype that much?"
Rob Lucci: *"I AM THE HYPE!!!"*
Sanji wasn't pointing the gun at Robin... he was pointing it at Usopp for pointing his slingshot at Robin lol
I like to think Kaku was so determined to prove his devil fruit is awesome he trained at it harder than anyone else
Concerning that panel where sanji is holding a gun towards Robin, I like to imagine that Sanji pulled a gun on Ussop, not necessarily Robin
new head canon, sanji was mad at ussop for pulling a weapon on a woman xD. thank you
While I doubt Zoro will come close to losing, I also don't think it will be a quick fight, as Lucci lasted quite a while against Gear 5.
Because of no advance haki, haki is more stronger than gear 5 . And no way he is more durable than king and kaido.
@@yuvrajsingh15823 Haki is naturally intertwined with G5 hence why the first thing Luffy did once he transformed was split the skies by himself, so Lucci lasted quite a while against G5 while he was using haki. If you meant no advanced haki in regard to Lucci, then it is highly likely he has advanced armament, he is a masked member of CP0 after all.
Also King was only really durable when his flame was up and he was effectively immortal. Once King dropped his flame to attack he was very easy to knock out and (i may be very wrong but) iirc it only took zoro 2-3 hits to knock out King once he dropped his flame. Lucci on the other hand is an awakened Zoan which gives him massive increases to his defence and durability so while he may not be effectively immortal he traded insane levels of durability when not attacking and no durability when he is attacking to being slightly less durable but able to attack all the time
He might not be more durable but he probably is marter and faster and more skilled.
Literally clashed Armament with G5...
I think Luffy was messing around with lucci, he went gear 5 on lucci but went base form with kizaru. I think Luffy could’ve beat lucci w/o G5
Kaido was also basically an awakened fruit user, his fruit is a play on the old "goldfish turning into a dragon" story.
I believe so too, Kaido also had those flames around him which every awakened Zoan seems to have.
So child Momo was also awakened?
Momo for some reason didn't have to go through the fish stage of the fruit, and knowing that Momo's fruit is "defective" then we can assume that Momo's fruit is just a Dragon Dragon fruit instead of a Fish Fish fruit
@@kristophesiem5336 I feel like the assumption here is that the fruit whose model is "azure /dragon/" starts as a fish.
@@RedYDG I mean, taking in count it's literally called the "Fish Fish" fruit, it'd be a good assumption idk
This is absolutely going to be a show of force for the Straw Hats, this is gonna show and solidify themselves as a Yonko crew for sure

I think the shadow that Shaka saw was Caribou and he’s carrying out some sinister plan for Blackbeard who I think he works for. Also I really want to see the Buggy seraphim, he would be so overpowered.
or crocoboy. Stealing vegapunks weapons.
Caribou is working for buggy
Too much mysteries😣😣😣
I’ve always seen Kizaru as a sadist who enjoyed slowly ending people with his speed. He slowly peppered up Whitebeard with laser shots even though he could have Death Starred him. He likes to inflict maximum pain and despair before terminating them. Aokiji and Akainu do their duty, to varying extremes, Fujitora and Greenbull put things in their “proper” place (Fuji puts things where they were supposed to be and Greenbull does in the way that he keeps oppressive systems in place, keeping people down) but Kizaru is a terrifying outlier. He has no justice system, he’s just the best at what he does and what he does isn’t very nice.
The Minority Hunter is back on the grind.
Debatable, Lucci is pretty light.
Cat folk are a minority?
@@EndlessMalicelucci looks Latino

@@giorgioguolo7196luccy is an African animal
I think it makes complete sense for Kaku to awaken his fruit so fast, since he said he really liked giraffes from the very moment he got the fruit powers. If a Zoan fruit can choose its "master", there's no reason not to believe Kaku's fruit chose him
Kaku seems like the kind of guy who would think of all the things he could do if he were a giraffe, just for fun, before he got the fruit
I thought the shadow creature was S-Shark diving around quick enough to take out the cameras while barely being seen.
It could have been Kizaru. He might not be super dangerous for Luffy, but he's still a deadly threat to almost everyone else present.
my favorite thing about kaku is how normal he feels in comparison to the other Cipher Pol members. I mean, he's objectively very weird himself, but compared to people like lucci and the other CP9/CP0 members, he's just a regular guy. you could get lunch with him.
Rob Lucci is the first target of Zoro the Minority Hunter outside his usual opponents.
Lucci devil fruit is an african animal
Gonna wait here until u get famous.
Kaku?
Wdym? Lucci is an Italian name so he's a POC (Person of Carbonara)
Since he's a df user he's a minority compared to the total populace
I hope we get to see the name reveals of the Vice Admirals that participated the invasion of Egghead Island aside from Doll, the lady who casually kicked a Pacfista unit in the head.
I feel after Timeskip, everyone is like super over-powered.
We know the Timeskip is for the SH crew to become stronger and on par with Admirals but seems like everyone has to be powered-up suddenly. Like it doesn't do justice for the SH crew.
Pre-Timeskip, we see the WB taking down VA like a bowling ball taking down pins and post time-skip, even VA can just kicked a pacifista unit.
And what about Lucci, how does Oda going to justify in him being on-par with Zoro. I would be absolutely mad if a normal Zoan can be more powerful than any of Kaido 3 Ancient Zoans users.
They need to nerf the existing users and people with VA ranks. The SH (especially the monster trio + Jimbei & Franky) are "supposed" to sweep everyone aside apart from the Yonkos, Admirals and Yonkos commanders.
Remembering that drake is a sword member and kizaru kicks him regardless is still hilarious

I find it hard to believe the likes of Kaido and Marco hadn't awoken their DF.
Also didn't Crocodile introduce the concept of awakened DFs with the Guardian Beasts or whatever they were called in Imepl Down?
I can see a world where Lucci, after awakening his fruit, used his experience to teach Kaku how to do it.
I look forward to seeing Lucci showing off more inventive applications of the Six Powers. I feel like we don't get enough from the non-haki fighting systems.
I've got hope for Franky. At the next big war the Straw Hats have he'll most likely show off all sorts of new modifications that were inspired by Vegapunk and all the technology on Egghead, kinda like how Nami's Clima-tact got a major upgrade in Enies Lobby after the introduction of dials in Skypiea
About knocking out York, i would have agreed with you prior to this chapter.. but Sentomaru is specifically higher ranked than control chip holders, and when he was knocked out Kizaru (who was only a control chip holder) was able to directly override his control of the pacifistas. Meaning that yes, if the controller is knocked out then their authority goes with them.
If york is knocked out, her orders go with her. The other vegapunks can override those orders.
11:46 Liam you're forgetting thats exactly what kizaru just did to sentomaru
I can see the fight against Kizaru being a defining moment in Luffy further developing his future sight, there's still a huge gap between Shank's future sight and where luffy is, and it's considerably large where Luffy can maybe see a second or two into the future, Shanks can see ten seconds or so.
Observation haki thrives when the user is in a tranquil and calm state, and who is more calm and tranquil than Kizaru? (Seriously he looks high all the time) Considering his devil fruit abilities as well it would make sense for him to have a really good future sight to predict where his light should go and how to best use it considering its fairly linear pattern. Now will Luffy get absolutely curb stomped? Probably not, I can see this fight causing confusion with Kizaru if gear 5 gets unveiled again and the chaos making it difficult for Kizaru to properly plan around his abilities and stress him out to a degree much like Katakuri during his fight with Luffy. Honestly I would be super stoked if this is another Haki evolution fight, I always love the deeper dive into how Haki works as now it's decently clear Haki isn't as linear as say the power level system in Dragonball, it's very nuanced and has great utility.
As many have already suggested, I doubt that the fight between Luffy and Kizaru will have a definitive winner. What's more likely is that the two will get a chance to flex a bit, and then something or someone will interrupt the fight. But the final saga so far has been pretty unpredictable, so Luffy defeating an Admiral and finally starting to be respected on the same level as the other Youkous would be pretty cool.
I can see Saturn stopping them mid fight and offering to let strawhat go if he gives up vegapunk
maybe world govt is too strong , thinning them by a little in egghead would be fine
@@finnkedinn1573 That'd be a short truce then, cause I doubt Luffy would give anyone up to the Navy or World Government.
I know the plan is to escape, but that was before Luffy knew kizaru was here, he could very easily tell them “ strawhats…plans have changed, I’m kicking his ass” and then that could possibly have the grand fleet come in to Take care of the fleet outside.
@@ryanstarr2389 Yeah, I'm in favour of the escalation theory. Oda doesn't usually mention that something will shake the world if it's just 2 players involved. But mostly I would love to see some fight punching 😅
Zorro is my favorite character. I still can't get over him taking all that pain on that zombie island ship. Dude is a bro.
9:50 I feel like Sentoumaru saying he "has the best def in the world" is akin to when Zoro would say "there's nothing I cant cut", its like a self made mantra to hype yourself up and give you a mental image of being impervious or undefeatable
He wasn’t scared because of Kizaru’s strength, he was scared because he sensed the strength of a guy who haunted him in the past.
He explicitly called Kizaru a powerful person so no, what you're saying is wrong
@@prabhatdeshmukh9592who tf said he isn’t powerful?💀 his point is that what makes kizaru especially concering to them, is that he single handedly caused what was then the worst day of the straw hat crew’s life, they wouldn’t just forget that
It could be that while Kizaru is the person Luffy recognized as strong, it was less about his actual strength and more about the fact that he dealt them such a stinging defeat before the timeskip. Firstly, he's an admiral and as such is a pretty big deal, second he's the only admiral who remains from before the timeskip so he's tough enough to keep his seat, and third he defeated them before. It's like having that one teacher you always feared from elementary school because they were a tough as nails no-nonsense teacher, but coming back to the school after graduation that mental image is still in your mind until you actually meet them again.
The thing with franky not being too involved in egghead makes sense, its the same as when reighly offered to tell luffy about the one piece, they dont want the awnsers to everything spoon fed to them, that takes away the fun of the discovery, it kills the dream
Ordering that sword tiger shirt right meow!
kakus love for giraffe was soo big that it manifested into awakening. as he says himself "for the last time, i fucking love giraffes"
I'm still holding my breath for Tom to be on Elbaf because Franky, Tom, Vegapunk upgrading things on the ship and on Franky it's what we all need.
I'm thinking instead of Green Blood Franky uses some GreenCola combo for a power boost
@@aeis3007 That would be just as cool, and what I really expect to happen, but that Parvision theory just has that glimmer of hope since we've never heard that Tom had died or that he had even made it to Impel Down.

Honestly, Kaku being the best Devil Fruit user (at least best Zoan user) shouldn't be too surprising.
Mere hours after eating his fruit, he developed all sorts of techniques making use of abilities that Giraffes Most Definitely Cannot Do (even accounting for how awesome and powerful giraffes are innately).
Kaku is simply the best.
I love the animations and drawings that your channel artists put together to enhance your writing!
1:53 - Jokes on you, I'm not wearing anything right now. Though admittedly, that makes your ad for body coverings quite a bit more compelling.
Edit: Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Kizaru's nostalgia for the Straw Hat Pirates might be for different reasons than sadistic pleasure or him being a laid back fight junkie. I think it's entirely possible that Kizaru kinda likes them or at least finds them entertaining. Not enough to stop him from trying to kill them, but I feel like Kizaru being kind fond of the Straw Hats is entirely possible.
The fact that you mentioned that Kaku awakened his fruit in a little over 2 years, made me think about the fact that zoan fruits have a mind of their own and almost seeking out their users. I'm gonna assume that it was mainly to hype up Luffy as fated to have Nika, like this shitty little boy from some village ate the fruit that the world government has been trying to get for many many years. But it could also be an explanation to the fact that many of the awakenings are zoan fruits, cause they actively seek out a user that fits them. All the jailer beasts, Luffy, Lucci and Kaku are all awakened. Kaku did showcase some INSANE creativity in his fight with Zoro back in Enies lobby, and even expressed his love for giraffes. Him having the giraffe devil fruit is almost certainly fated imo.
I voted for Zoro not to underestimate Rob Lucci but by the logic that Zoro has been very close to Luffy in terms of strength throughout the whole series and even though Luffy got a crazy power up in gear 5 I still believe that Zoro isn’t too far behind.
Luckily for zoro, Lucci becomes a minority when in full leopard form
Luffy sensed Chuck Norris. Not in the One Piece universe; in our universe. That's what scared him.
I can't help but feel a little sorry for Kaku in this chapter; given what Sanji says after bubbling him, Kaku wasn't even aware of what Lucci was plotting, and the guy had just come off from an apparently rough fight.
...I may be a little biased *looks at username* 😁
I think kaku has always been set up as the least worst cipher pol guy. he seemed to genuinely like running around on water 7 and felt something when zoro told him he was fired. at the very least he's definitely not as sadistic as lucci
Joke's on you. I'm not wearing any standard body covering, I'm naked.
6:53 GREAT drawing btw. Love that!
I think the really strong person that Luffy is referring to is Urouge, who snuck onto Egghead just in time to get into some action.
Best devil fruit user ever. Real talk his intro fixing vessels and identifying problems, then when revealed to be a bad guy, states: no just because I was an undercover doesnt mean I didnt do my job properly. I like honesty, so when he lies to the crew kind of didnt like that, (is being undercover considered lying??? *small existential crisis*)
01:32 is pure gold. As for the fight, I doubt it will be purely about Zoro, as in, it probably won't be an easy fight for Zoro, but at the same time, it probably won't be a fight that Zoro learns something from or walks away from as a better fighter. It will probably play out something like Zoro vs Killer, not like Zoro vs Hody Jones, not like Zoro vs King, with maybe no conclusion at all.
On the Sanji with a gun at Whiskey Peak, part of my mind whispers that it’s funnier if he was actually aiming it at Usopp in the event the crew sniper shot at Robin with his sling shot. It probably isn’t that but it’s a funny passing thought.
11:39 The command priority always confused me. Lucci *literally* did that to Sentomaru. He knocked out Sentomaru and took control over the seraphim, despite having lower command priority
And Kizaru has now done the same thing with the mk III pacifistas
OMG, I so appreciate the use of the "to shreds you say" Futurama clip. I don't think I've ever typed this phrase before, but that clip has been living rent-free in my head for years.
How have you NOT considered Kaku as a candidate for the best Devil Fruit user before? Don't you remember how insanely creative and effective his abilities were in Ennies Lobby after having a fruit for like, A SINGLE DAY!?
The man came up with literally every technique he used in Ennies Lobby on the fly, straight up naming them mid fight too (Something Zoro complained about by the way), and said techniques were giving Zoro some real trouble. That's seriously impressive you know.
Admittedly, you could say something similar for Kalifa, but I would argue her techniques were significantly less effective.
About the Seraphim point, the commenter was indicating that since Kizaru can knock out Sentomaru and take SENTOMARU'S command cube to overwrite the Pacificas' commands, it's possible to do so for the Seraphims as well.
I have a very significant feeling that this arc sees Kizaru defeated and Lucci dead. Lucci’s had a long detailed storyline and his former unbeatable/scary status being overthrown would be amazing.
I will point out that Kizaru started talking while Luffy was super far away and before he could finish Luffy was kicking him /without/ stretching in the next panel. That was a huge amount of distance to cover, a surprising amount of distance. I think Kizaru was caught off guard by how fast Luffy was.
Yamato literally awakened his Devil Fruit in hours. He ate the Devil fruit when a child, but spent his entire life in sea prism cuffs until Luffy removed them. When Yamato was fighting Kaido alone while Luffy was eating, he was awakened.
Sanji in that chapter reminds me of how he was in Enies Lobby, where he calmly thinks ahead of everyone as he did when he closed the Gates of Justice.
Might be just me who noticed it, but at 13:30 to 13:40 , you can see the SS Dolphin in the background, which is the trusty spacecraft from Captain Olimar. It's funny to see two of my favorite franchises in the same video, albeit unintentionally 😂
Kizaru also overwrote Sentamarus orders for the Pacifista. Thus it should be possible to overwrite an unconscious York
Kaku's Pure love for giraffes unlocked his fruit's true potential. He has grown too powerful.
I reread the part where Sanji pointed a gun at Robin, and I had two main take-aways: 1. He didn't realize who he was pointing it at; he realized Robin was a beautiful woman after the fact, so he just registered "Intruder" and jumped into action on instinct. 2. Usopp asked him if he knew what he was doing, and his answer was more-or-less "No."
That streaming company that used to replace blockbuster is dead to me. Has been since they canceled the only show I subscribed to them for solely because they confirmed another season, then a few days later said nah. Then the audacity to make a live action Dragonball level atrocity out of my second favorite story of all time.
Even thought I doubt it, sometime in egghead I want the vice admirals to prove themselves and show that they are actually worth something
"To shreds you say" 😂😂😂😂 Loved this. Couldn't have summed it up better.
"Awakening occurs when your mind and body catch up to your powers"
Catching up to a giraffe power is probably harder than a sun god or an operating room or magnetic waves
I got to admit I laughed at the clip of the professor from Futurama that you used to predict Saturns reaction to Lucci defeat!! 😂😂. It’s definitely going to be close to that
that shadow reminds me of when the gorosei were seen that one time but were all shadowy, also looks like it might have shape of saturn's hair slightly, I WANNA SEE IT
Kaido's fruit is the carp carp, its awakening is a dragon because the ability has its roots in the Longmen Legend in which when a carp climbs the falls at the top of the mountain the yellow river runs thru it becomes a dragon
The Sento-Burter comparison is painfully accurate
to be fair to sentomaru, the core of haki is willpower, so him manifesting that "world's strongest defense" might just do him a little more good.
I really love all of this theory crafting and listening to various theories and ideas is one of my favorite things about being a One Piece fan. I regret not getting involved in this community sooner.
I used to live in Japan, but I never read Shonen Jump. I would always wait for the book to release and then catch up. Reading one week at a time (or every other week) is certainly a slow drip, but all of the speculation and interacting with members of the community makes me feel like I am the 中間 of a different kind of crew.
I have been a One Piece fan for almost a decade and a half, but have only been interacting with theorists for around two of those years. I can only imagine what these kinds of videos would have been like in the Marineford days...
in those days there weren´t really much op ytubers around tho, marineford was like nearly 15 years ago i think, hard to keep track over such long time period, I was weekly around impel down and by the time most theories were done on forums mostly. I think Arlong park was most likely the biggest one.
@@silentgaming5010 Marineford was 15 years ago？Man, time flies so fast it all blurs together. Then maybe I have been an OP fan for nearly 20 years...
Absolutely flabbergasted. How in the world could you have known I was standing, sitting, or lying here with some sort of standard body covering. I am embarrassed to have been caught. Guess I will just have to get a non-standard body covering from store glr so that I can blend in.
Man this guy going so in depth on the lighting really got me wondering if his rival dude in a room would ever do a full in depth video on the topic
I think you may have missed what was meant by the comment suggesting to knock out York. When Sentomaru was "knocked out" by Kizaru, he (of lower order) overwrote the command for the pacifistas, my guess is that they assumed it would work the exact same way for the Seraphim. Either way I agree that it likely wouldn't though
Kaku awakening his devil fruit in 2 years broke the theory that you needed to have one for like 10 years minimum to awaken them. Which in turn means the theory of Sabo awakening the Mera-Mera to beat Akainu is back on the table lol.
Sabo could only win with haki.
The magma fruit is ranked above the flame fruit.
That shadow figure looks awfully swampy to me 😂
The dark figure is Cariboo I guess because he was the one who didn't show his face in this arc and he is definitely stealing some stuff.
What makes you think Sanji is pointing that gun at Robin? It fits Sanji so much better when you realize he's pointing the gun at Usopp. How dare he threaten a woman in the presence of Sanji!
Momo learned how to be an adult dragon over the course of a single night. Greatest devil fruit user by far.
If Franky integrates bubbles into his arsenal, he would be able to overcome calamity itself.
07:40 Sanji only wasn't willing to shoot anymore after he saw her face, which was after pointing the gun.
I think it's worth pointing out in the ViZ translation Kizaru says his defense is just as good as Sentomaru's, which is interesting. Especially sense he said it while dodging.
I think Luffy's surprise was more due to how fast Kizaru approached, like all of a sudden a strong person appears out of nowhere, and not due to how strong that someone was
It was definitely kizaru because I don’t think luffy and the gang were even expecting the navy showing up, let alone a goddamn admiral.
Franky incorporating bubble tech would be cool. Would make sense too. He is powered by cola, which is quite bubbly
And Nami. And Usopp. It would make them more viable fighters against devil fruit users.
I think Luffy's shock was Kizarux but not because of how strong he is, just because of PTSD.
That's why he recovered so quickly and ate that meat, he wasn't worried or fearful of Kizaru, that face was just because the Sabaody trauma came to mind for a second, and he promptly replaced it with the excitement of getting some payback.
Lucci and kaku were forcibly awakened through unknown means, just like the beast jailers. They just avoided losing their humanity in the process. Theres no way to naturally awaken in 2 years
When Luffy was visibly shaken by the presence of someone strong, it could've been the memories of Saboady flooding back. But he soon reflects and remembers they got this.
I personally believe when he said he had the world's strongest defense that was just his way of saying he had armament haki
I noticed that stussy was the first to recognize that lucci was going to attack vegapunk, even with sanjis advanced sense of observation; he wasn’t able to stop lucci. Or maybe he foresaw stussy in action and did nothing, it seems to be a testament to luccis speed
I don’t think you can really use this to judge Lucci’s speed against Sanji’s Observation Haki. Up until that moment, the room was relatively calm, so Sanji wouldn’t have been using his Observation Haki. If Lucci had gone for him or Nami, he probably would’ve sensed it, but Vegapunk was standing on the far side of the room. If I had to guess, Stussy realized Lucci was going for Vegapunk because she was much closer to him and because she is a Vegapunk creation.
Also Stussy was already suspicious of Lucci in the previous chapter
Luffy mostly likely referred to Kizaru as the strong presence he sensed because he's probably hyper sensitive to Kizaru's power due to the trauma Kizaru inflicted. We can look at it as though Kizaru isn't the "strong presence needing attention right now" but "I recognize that strong aura, I want to deal with him"
Kaku might not be the best devil fruit user but he's definitely developing it the fastest so he's up there but not at the pinnacle.
