As per usual, any criticism is appreciated. But should I include everyone that's been featured on a cover story as well? Lemme know pls

SWEET PISSING FUCK THEY’RE HORRIFYING.

They almost look like they don’t BELONG in this series. They’re more like Apostles from Berserk who took a wrong turn at Falconia and wound up in One Piece.

[bluepecanpie]

Love the doublespread. Such an apocalyptic atmosphere in the whole setting. Luffy is confronted with the rulers of the world and they're these terrifying creatures. Half think broadcasting these guys is the actual "Egghead Incident".

Odas Editor: ok, so what are you gonna call the main villain's strongest henchman? Oda: TOP MAN

One Piece - Capítulo 1110

[thebigdeepcheatsy]

Predicting three of the Gorosei’s demises

Saturn - Goes completely feral ala Ratigan, tries to kill Kuma on pure instinct and/or attempts to scurry away and frantically shouts for his killer to get/stay away from him or to stop

V. Nusjoro - Gives Zoro begrudging respect for actually besting him

Warcury - Bemoans over failing Imu and begs to be forgiven OR despairs over being betrayed by Imu

[haveapizzaparty]

If Oda isn't going to kill off Imu and the Five Elders, the least he could do is pull a Witch from Mercury and strip those old dickheads of all their power before shoving them into a retirement home.

A reminder that this is what has canonically been happpeing behind the scenes in the world of One Piece for ~800 years

The Five Elders had more reservations about destroying Ohara and Lulusia in One Piece than the Knights Moralis did about erasing people's memories in Witch Hat Atelier

[0ynes]

We finally have the name for all the Gorosei. "Ju Peter" "V. NUSjuro" "Warcury", ODA YOUR FUCKING MIND I SWEAR

I like how Oda shows who is incharge of ruling what in the world.

This panel ALONE lets me know we are at the ENDGAME of the series

One Piece Chapter 1111 - Initial Thoughts

The chapters are taking longer and longer to come out it seems, but One Piece finally dropped its final chapter before another 3 week hiatus.

It's a shame, but it's an understandable route, I think we all had the urge to wrap Oda in bubble wrap after Akira Toriyama's saddening death, everyone has to process it their own way.

Regardless, we have a chapter still to get through, so let's see where we're leaving things?

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release

A colour spread of chips (or fries for you Americans) and jellyfish with the crew, Kuma, Vegapunk and Bonney, of course Bonney wants more after eating her own

Marcus Mars indeed has breached the Labosphere and Jinbe, sensing the haki, wants to get out now

Zoro's not quite content though, Lucci is beaten but not down

Scarred now at the front, Lucci still stands, angry but stumbling over to the two

With time of the essence Jinbe grabs Zoro and uses a 5,000 Brick Fist to propel them away

I'm sure Sanji stans and Anti-Zoro fans will have a field day of 'Zoro didn't beat Lucci' but guys he looks plenty beat, just because they get up again after being knocked out doesn't mean he's not beat, else we're gonna have to say that Mihawk never beat Zoro or Luffy never beat Enel

Like the moment they left he collapses back into human form

And then proceeds to shit bricks seeing Mars, asking for status on York

The loyal dog (or cat) he is he does give Mars the rundown; York is in the control room, the 5 straw hats above are seeking escape through the south when Zoro and Jinbe reconvene, 2 Vegapunks are up here, 85 CP agents and 4 Seraphim in the basement and 6 minutes before Vegapunk's message

Though, a rare show of sentiment from Rob Lucci, as he requests that Kaku - heavily injured in the control room - be recovered

Also worth noting that if Kaku's bandaged like this it likely means Chopper healed him after he was wrecked by at least S-Hawk

Mars however makes no guarantees, already planning to 'wipe out the nest'

Back to Luffy we see him reunite with the giants

Dorry and Brogy seem to think that Luffy's taking the image of the Sun God rather than actually being Nika

Warcury and Saturn are once again taken aback by the appearance of giants

Sanji has been relaying the messages, having told the giants to help Luffy with escaping

Kinda strange though because Sanji was very isolated for Little Garden, having that little coffee break chatting with Crocodile and breaking the Unluckies' necks, but sure enough

We have a map too, though Oda made sure not to mark any of the Gorosei

Dorry blows a horn, signalling that they got to Luffy, which pulls the giants into a tactical retreat

Warcury readies a retort though, blowing his own 'horn' with a yell of Conqueror's Haki

A yell so powerful it popped most of Luffy's features off his body, including his scar!

But naturally toon force means he can put it back together, he's literally holding his eye scar

'Some Government Big Shot' is so funny when you consider that Luffy literally doesn't know who the five godheads of the world government are

Warcury's got flips too, looking to attack with the horns, but the giants block each tusk with their shields

Warcury's tusks seem to have the definition of swords now, I wonder if that's linked to his powers

He asks for backstory on why the giants are loyal to him and to that we say 'read pre-Timeskip'

A double shield bash knocks the Topman to the bottom

Of all things disturbing about Saturn, seeing his mouth is probably the most disturbing

Much like Magellan, he fires pellets of poison at the trio

Luffy, resourceful and once more entering Toon Force, grabs a palm tree, eats it like a corn on a cob, and paints it into a baseball bat - complete with helmet - both adorned with Go-Mu (56) on it

Ayyyy batter batter swing batter!

Expecting the venom to just hit the Gorosei on the return, Luffy's surprised to see them explode like nukes

The opening is there to leave, but Luffy points out to Brogy that the Gorosei aren't beat, they can't die

Everyone's in a rush to get ready; Luffy, Dorry and Brogy are on the move, Sanji is still running and carrying Vegapunk's corpse, Jinbe is running and carrying Zoro's reluctant ass, everyone but Nami is pulling the Sunny back in position

But Bonney has 3 vice admirals waiting for her

Might be unwise to put yourselves between a long boat of giants and more giants though ngl

Mars finds York though, still trapped and now panicking because a monster is asking her where the room the transmission is coming from

Kizaru meanwhile is being tended to, but he claims his wounds 'run deep' - basically he's thrown in the towel

But through the flames it finally arrives, the giant mecha, unfazed by the elements, bigger than a giant, and it speaks

'Joy Boy, forgive me'

Jeez Joy Boy must have lived in an age of regrets because every time we meet something or someone from his time they have something they regret or are apologizing for; Zunesha, the Nefertari family, Joy Boy themselves, now the sleeping giant? I guess in a way it's kinda poetic, they lived in an era where their dreams couldn't come true, so they live in regret, in darkness, until the dawn rises once more.

As for the rest, I know some people will be miffed that Lucci survived, but it serves as a necessity for Mars to get where he's going, and like I said before he's practically out, even Jinbe says that the fight is already won and I doubt Jinbe would lie. When we first started this portion of the arc I was 100% expecting Luffy and co to have left the island by this chapter, but it seems more like it's the beginning of the final phase, the fights leading to escape much like Enies Lobby and Sabaody did. At the least it seems Mars is more occupied with the transmission than the Straw Hats but his priorities can change, plus he can still activate the Seraphim after them instead. V. Nusjuro - who like Ju Peter was quiet this chapter, given how they both got more shine in the previous one - is still circling the island too, which can still lead to a Sanji confrontation, but I'm more eager to see Franky hopefully get some shine against the Vice Admirals; Nine Chins et al don't seem to be the proper threat in terms of VAs though with Bluegrass and Doll hovering around, plus we did see Tosu get bonked by a giant in one hit so I'm not expecting them to go far.

Watching Luffy go full Toon Force is a joy though - pun intended - it's just delightful rubberhose creativity straight outta Tom & Jerry, even gnawing some wood into a baseball bat is classic stuff, so for me it works in comedy and nostalgia. I might die if he paints a tunnel only he and his friends can run through.

We didn't get much word on Vegapunk's transmission and we won't for quite some time now, but I would like to hope that Vegapunk's smart enough to know where the government would look first. I know there's theories that Dragon has the main signal but I feel like it'd have to exist somewhere more akin to a tree in the forest in order to piggyback off of government Den Den Mushi connectivity, if Dragon had that kinda access he probably would've used it more for intelligence. But it's not something I'm too attached towards being wrong about.

Hope Oda gets some rest and stays healthy, if there's one thing we as fans are known for it is indeed our ability to wait.

One Piece - Capítulo 1111

[thebigdeepcheatsy]

An add-on to this theory

I might have figured out the roles of the Gorosei when they were kids/their childish traits they retained as adults.

Warcury - The suck-up

V Nusjuro - The sourpuss

Marcus - The gloomy one/pushover

Ju Peter - The sensitive one

Saturn - The bully

[ether-gearhead]

I still believe the Five Elders are indeed Awakened Mythical Zoan users - we've seen hybrid forms for two of them already, and what else are those flame clouds supposed to be unless Lucci and Kaku are suddenly demons now too? - but that doesn't mean they aren't demons via other means.

Consider Imu's power. He was shown to use a pointed appendage of some sort, almost certainly a tail, and when you consider that Nika is essentially an old-timey cartoon character, what else could Imu's power be but the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Devil?

A common trope with old cartoon devils is that you sign contracts with them, and they give you whatever you want in exchange for your soul. So what I think happened is, the Five Elders made a contract with Imu and achieved monstrous power, power enough to crush the Ancient Kingdom, and became his demon servants for all eternity, thus explaining their immortality and summoning circles.

Now I have no idea where Imu's Devil Fruit would've come from, since my current theory is that Devil Fruits are the souls of people with whom Imu made a contract. I suppose it and the Nika fruit were sacred treasures of the Ancient Kingdom, and Imu stole the literal Devil fruit? I dunno.
