#saint figarland garling

[the-frizzle-fry]

So everyone is dropping bricks over Garling not having red or grey hair.

People be saying he can’t be Shanks dad now because of hair color. Yall don’t understand genetics huh?

Also red hair doesn’t usually grey. It turns blonde and/or white. It loses pigment. So if anything this adds to Moonhead being Shanks pops. Just have to wait for the God Valley flash back to get proof.

Damn, wasn't expecting Shanks daddy to get a promotion this chapter.

One Piece Chapter 1125 - Initial Thoughts

A week break gone and now we're back again

It always takes so long but we return to One Piece. Elbaf is on the horizon, and while questions float over Vegapunk there may still yet be a little more before we reach the land of giants.

Let's see what we have

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too!

Yamato's latest pit stop is the still-rebuilding Oden castle

Minatomo the carpenter has gone missing, so I guess that's the next step - probably missing his student who happens to actually be very skilled at carpentry

The WG continue to wrap things up on Egghead, ready to load the Seraphim and leave, we don't know what they intended for the Mark IIIs and the Weaponized Sea Beasts though

Lucci and Kaku board with angered faces, claiming Stussy was KIA

Unusual for Lucci to lie about that though isn't it?

Saturn though wraps up the benefits of the operation, citing that getting York and the Mother Flame is a win, but there was one critical hiccup

The Vice Admirals are in audience with him, and apologize for failing to capture Bonney and the Straw Hats even with a Grand Buster Call

They ask to make chase to Elbaf, but are turned down

The true hiccup was Vegapunk's message getting out

He also mentions that the awakening of Emeth was ironic

We get a flashback 200 years ago, turns out Emeth being studied on was by Saturn's permission! He wanted the tech for military might

Man literally left a 200 year chekhov's gun on the table

As Saturn mulls about Emeth, Vice Admiral Doberman makes a foolish mistake, and asks if that means Vegapunk's message was true

And thus he gets eyeshotted, though he seems to just be KO'd, since they call a medic

Something's happening in the Labophase though

York sees a ton of clouds in the lab, and realises that a plan has been undertaken

Edison's not dead! But York is trying to rectify that

But it's a feint, and as York fires to the side the top half of the egg floats away

Punk Records has been swiped from the clutches of the WG

Back at Marejois and naturally, the Celestial Dragons are not taking the low food supplies well

Sadly that means lots of killing and blaming

Akainu catching a stray for not capturing Kuma, but it seems that most of the Dragons were unaware of Vegapunk's reveal

Figarland Garling approaches the remaining Gorosei in their usual place

He has new orders: York is under his command now, because he's the new Minister of War

Saturn fucked up and now he just got demoted! That really ruins the planet motif

Oh but what of Saturn? He screams in agony on his ship

Looks like Imu has no use for him, and the black haze that seemed to restore them from damage now suffocates him

The Vice Admirals just look in horror, unknown to what's causing this

The seemingly impervious Saturn retches and grows thinner, almost hollowed out

Imu tells him their motives; Joy Boy was allowed to escape, so they are responsible

Black smoke and flames erupt from the ship, and what remains of Jaygarcia Saturn is just bones

Back at the now floating Punk Records, it seems the satellites are all alive, chatting among each other

Shaka notes they intended to get the whole Fabriostratum, but they're glad to get Punk Records out of York's hands

Pythagoras notes that she can still link up with Punk Records, but it'll only to be to fulfill its original intention

Shaka predicts it'll still take 500 years to achieve its true objective

But everyone thinks they're dead so there's limited pursuit, but that also means no funds

Edison has a new body, a frankenbody of spare parts

His own head, Atlas and Pythagoras' arm, and Shaka's torso and legs

Shaka also jabs at Edison for always admiring his height

Atlas however wants York's spare parts thrown out, which the rest of the group agree on

It is very fortunate Sanji never found this room of spare body parts

Edison also has another connection up his sleeve, and calls Weatheria!

Over to the Revolutionary Army and they are gathering the intel from Vegapunk's message

They also conclude that whoever gets the One Piece gets access to the power to destroy the world too

Belo Betty seems like she is ready to oppose the pirates, and in turn Luffy and Robin

Sabo doesn't comment, only noting that it explains why the first Celestrial Dragons took up home on the Red Line

Oh! Tequila Wolf wasn't the only one...Vodka Wolf, Rum Wolf and Bourbon Wolf

We know there's a Vodka kingdom since that's where Kaido came from, wonder if that's a connection

Dragon mulls on the coast, noting how many will take Vegapunk's message to scramble for higher land

Looks like Dragon's got a boot up the ass, to speed up his plan

Well this is interesting

The power structure has changed, Figarland Garling is our new Gorosei, Saturn is no more. A brutal death to a seemingly unkillable being at the hands of Imu, but the interesting part is what it tells and what it implies. Saturn was a person, and it seems that Imu was able to keep him alive for so long, at least 200 years. Does that mean there were other Gorosei back in the day? And does the Gyuki transformation transfer over to Garling? Will he be empowered with a new shape? The World Government may still have York and the Mother Flame, but the loss of Punk Records is huge! I guess that's what Lilith meant by them not being dead, I guess they all still can connect to one satellite and share the body. The frankenbody is unusual, though I wonder if they'll come back in a different shape next time, following refinement for convenience given how weird their proportions are right now. Interesting not to hear the Stella talk either, I guess he could still be the brain jar but maybe he is the sole casualty?

The Celestial Dragons starving may've killed a Gorosei but it will lead to more violence and blaming, not gonna be good for the current climate, which is probably why Imu anticipates war. Imu is definitely paying attention to Luffy now, calling them Joy Boy, but Saturn did in a way cause all his own undoing, from Emeth, Kuma and Vegapunk himself, he underestimated everyone because they were insects to him and they all outwitted him, an ant bite can still kill a man.

The Revolutionary Army look to gear up for something big. They have been making smaller strides in general but maybe now Oda's gonna put them to work. I do kinda hope though that they don't directly oppose Luffy like Koby intends to, Sabo that is your brother and all the RA have friendly ties to Robin. Everyone is like 'this power is dangerous and can destroy the world' but nobody's reminding themselves that Luffy ain't about destroying the world. Like, maybe just help pave the way? The Grand Fleet need to be kicked into gear to help with that too.

All in all a lot to consume and chew on with this chapter, especially compared to the linear brevity of the last. I doubt we'll go to Elbaf next chapter though, we have the dangling thread of Kuma and Bonney still to deal with, and of course whatever game-changing thing is about to happen on the other sides of the world.

Oda and his round numbers man, he loves them round numbers.

If Garling is confirmed as Shanks' dad, will you include him in your fics?

Oh I already have! We don't wait for canon in this house if we like a theory (see: Makino's baby), so he shows up in Andromeda Unbound, and my planned outline for Salt Vows, although I've left it vague enough to (hopefully) accommodate for any eventual corrections, since nothing has been confirmed yet, although my suspicions are strengthened now that we know what he looked like 38 years ago:

Must be all the evil in his diet that's made him age like that, because I refuse to accept any future where Shanks doesn't turn into a stone cold silver fox.

Saint Figarland Garling

[onepiecesmosthated]

Pot Calling The Kettle Black, Shithead

The only one who protects scum around here is you and again I really do hope you and your ilk get the real justice everyone has been clamoring for centuries. 

[ether-gearhead]

I just realized, Garling stocks are gonna plummet with the God Valley flashback, because I can't see him not getting clapped by someone in the Rocks Pirates.

One Piece Chapter 1086 Spoilers

Why does everyone say Saint Figarland Garling is related to Shanks? Am I missing something? Shanks hasn't had a name reveal, has he? Is it because we all assume Shanks is a God's Knight or a Celestial Dragon or something similar?

[omniscientopal]

Has anyone made this comparison yet??

This Sounds Like A Twisted Version Of Obito’s Words From Naruto

I have my issues concerning that series, especially with how they butchered Obito’s character, but those words were so poignant to me about his philosophy concerning following the rules and going to your friends’ aide. He believes that the rules mean shit if it prevents you from actually being a good person. And with this guy it goes in the opposite, it’s that going against the status quo of the false deities make you scum and even worse for those who protect them. In other words, you are only good if you protect the privileged position of the horrid society you are in. 

[printypro]

Did he message a minor

[aangmarble]

Goofy-ass design? Check. Don't give a damn pose? Check. Pro-slavery? Check.

This man right here is a Certified One Piece Asshole and I for one couldn't be happier. I mean, am I worried that such a seemingly important character has only now been introduced this late into the game? Well, yeah. But at the same time, look at that glorious hair. Man doesn't even need a sword, he can just stab someone with his sideburns

"Who's Hotter?" Pride Month Event: Battle of the Cursed One Piece Ships

There will be a part 2 because I couldn't fit all the cursed One Piece ships into one poll. So, whoever came up with these. I hope you're proud of yourself. Plus, using the Pride Month event as an excuse to torture us with these, it's so slimy. The celestial dragons would be proud

[mugiwara-lucy]

Wait....so Saturn's out?

And Garling is IN!?

I am VERY excited to see what happens now!!

[hypnotic-delusion]

drunk horse thinks the red moon haired guy is cool and kidnaps him and parades him around Mary geoise [save him] [actually don't save him]

[im-goofball]

Young Garling: I really like Peter, and I think I would be really good for him. Like that time he got diagnosed with depression—

Peter: *Peter's eyes widen and he grows terrified* Oh, Garling, no, no, no, no...

Nusjuro: *Nusjuro slowly turns his head towards both of them, placing his hand against his chest, looking freaked out* What do you mean mi sobrino has got depression?

Mars: *Mars abruptly stands up, pointing his index finger at Garling like an angered German.* Mi hijo does NOT HAVE DEPRESSION! He just likes the dark!

Peter: *Peter covers his face with both of his hands in embarrasement* Papa—!

Mars: *Mars silences him with a glare.* Oh no, no, no, no, no! He tried to get it when he was a kid! He said: 'Papa, I'm depressed!' And I said: 'Don't do that! Do something else!'"
