@drianwn78775 Oh that's very interesting! Makes me think of the whale on the 1138 mural next to the Sulong-looking character. I like this interpretation.
@drianwn78775 With the recent info about the Galleila Band, I think it's even more likely the Sea Kings will come to Elbaf so we may get the answer soon, whatever it is.
@drianwn78775 I'm just so curious about this "two rulers" thing. Felt like it came out of nowhere (though not in a bad way). In the end, I'd be satisfied with your idea of there being someone else that's special to them but that can't order them like Shirahoshi.
#ONEPIECE1154 The confirmation of renowned shipwrights from Elbaf is very interesting! I've long suspected that Elbaf is the destination of the Sea Kings, who are looking for the people who can repair the Noah. In part because giant ship and shipbuilding wood makes me think of...
...what was once a potential counter-argument is now a very strong argument in favor of Elbaf indeed being the Sea Kings' destination, where they will find not the expert shipbuilders of Elbaf, but one who has inherited their knowledge that was passed down in Water 7.
@Neo__Uma The idea comes from Sulong involving “memories” despite being an innate trait they’re born with, Pekoms describing the form like it’s a different person, and the Minks having combat ability from birth. I suspect all that ties to Minks expressing traits of a specific ancestor.
@Neo__Uma ...so Imu taking over Gunko in a manner that resembles Sulong definitely stuck out to me as well. Especially cause I've suspected Sulong to involve a different entity inside a Mink and this is a more malicious version of that.
@Neo__Uma Oh let's gladly make it about Carrot. I've seen Gunko as a Carrot matchup for a while now due to how her arrow powers that impose a path for her enemy would be a very blatant representation of the theme of direction Oda's gone with for Carrot's story so...
@drianwn78775 There's clear intentionality in the way Oda has portrayed the relationship between her character arc and Sulong, and how she succeeds/fails in the form. It's really cool stuff. All that's needed is the comeback victory moment that ties it all together into a satisfying story.
Wanna know a funny thing I just learned? "Sulong" apparently means "move forward" in Tagalog, aka what Carrot is told by Pedro before he dies and she goes Sulong. No wonder she loses the form when she goes backwards to fight Peros in Wano. This would've made my video simpler...
