Not to sound too insane or delusional right now BUT...

I was looking at pictures of Roger and my attention got caught by the jolly roger on his hat.

Specifically on the mustache of his jolly roger, and suddenly I realised that it reminded me of something...

Luffy's twirly eyebrows during the gear 5's transformation!

And that's even more weird because if you think about it, jolly rogers are supposed to represent the captain of a crew, right? Like Whitebeard's jolly roger has exactly the same type of mustache he has, Luffy's one has a straw hat, Shank's one has his three scars and so on...

But Roger doesn't have his mustache curved like that or even of that white/light colour. He has normal (and beautiful) black mustache!

So... Why did Roger choose that kind of jolly roger, when it doesn't represent how he normally looks? 👀

You know what I'm hinting at right? Even without taking into account all the similarities between Luffy and Roger's behaviour...

Also I know that the fruit hasn't been awakened in 800 years, but it can't be a coincidence that the moustache on his jolly roger looks exactly like it would've looked like if he ate the fruit (and then awakened it)... even if we know that nobody between the era of Joyboy from 800 years ago and Luffy in the present has ever awakened the fruit, Oda might have still drawn his jolly roger like that for a reason that is linked to that specific devil fruit...

Or I might be wrong and it doesn't have anything to do with it, but in that case the question still remains... why did he choose a jolly roger that is so different from him?

#yeah I'm thinking about Roger as former hito hito no mi model nika devil fruit user #but!! I don't think that he actually awakened the fruit because Zunesha would have heard it and they said it hasnt been awaken in 800 years #and also because he would have become joyboy and he said that he would have liked to know joyboy... so yeah 🤔#but still.. maybe that was just oda's way to make some sort of connection between the two things #call me delusional but I would love if this is actually the reason behind the jolly roger #i know they said he didn't have a devil fruit #but who knows tbh?? he might never used his powers and just his haki #all the similarities between luffy and roger are so strong #one piece theory #one piece #one piece manga #one piece anime #gol d roger #gol d. roger #monkey d luffy #monkey d. luffy #one piece ep 1076 #gear 5 #luffy gear 5 #gear 5 luffy #guya posts #one piece 1095 #op 1095 #one piece 1098 #op 1098 #one piece 1096 #op 1096 #one piece parallels

One Piece Chapter 1043 - Initial Thoughts

Ho boy what do we have now?

CP0 have intervened and now Luffy has been smacked down by Kaido, anger and denial sweeps, but now we must see the aftermath

Spoilers for the Chapter, Also Support the Official Release

Seems Whole Cake Island still hasn't repaired itself from the wedding, then again it's unclear just how much time has passed in Wano

And there's the aftermath, an angry Kaido and a wiped out Luffy, deflated an unconscious, the victory card goes to Kaido

Momo also says Luffy's 'voice' is gone, implying death

White Eye ain't even trying to run though, he's gone and accepted his fate

Destroying the ceiling with his blow, it's assumed that's the last we'll see of White-Eye, shame if it is

Oh hey there's Kawamatsu, looks like he's trying to also help people out of the fire, but without water it is difficult

Dragon Kaido has come down as well, demanding for Momonosuke to surrender and announcing that Luffy is dead

This of course kills morale, and Kaido's forces celebrate

Law seems to confirm the lost voice too, lamenting that they cannot oppose him

Chopper again though, believe in your captain like Nami does, she utterly refutes Kaido's statement

Literally coming out of hiding to step up to the Fish boy

Since her spirit won't break, Kaido goes to blast her but Marco blocks it

Kaido goes on his tirade though, as a result Onigashima will fall, everyone in Wano are his slaves, including women and children, they're expendable and this is the price of losing war

Kaido's crew also tries to pick off Law and Kid, but their crews fight back to protect them

Carrot and Neko are on the move too, looks like they'll help confront Kaido

Everyone's still fleeing the fire in the other rooms too, while Law and Kid are gonna fight with the last strength they have

Over to Momo and there's an argument over surrender between Yamato and Momo

Both know they can't do anything against him, but while Momo thinks surrendering will spare lives, Yamato knows too well that life of enslavement is not sparing lives

Instead she offers the only alternative: fight and die together

By the looks of things it's a sentiment shared by the alliance still, who continue to fight

Luffy's body lays limp, not unlike Zoro's was

But there's a sound coming from him, Luffy still stirs

Zunesha now hears something though, something he hasn't heard for 800 years

The Drums are playing, the drums of Liberation

Joy Boy has finally arrived, and Luffy's face grins with a tl of 'Nika'

Oda that bastard had to do it though, break next week

There has been an awakening

But an Awakening of what kind? I've seen a lot of theories circulating which seem plausible. Is Luffy awakening his Devil Fruit? or is Joy Boy's spirit possessing him?

There's a shout for the latter also because of the Ghost Piece theory, but there's also a matter of whether Joy Boy is actually the true or alternate name of his Devil Fruit (like what if it's the Nika Nika no Mi), or just inherited will, in fact Joy Boy may not even be an individual but a rally to keep fighting, to overcome even death. It could go so many directions, but personally I hope Luffy is still Luffy when he rises from the 'grave'. This is mostly my denial but also because despite the victory card I feel like Luffy not Joy Boy should be defeating Kaido, also I don't think Luffy is dead just like Zoro isn't dead, their 'voices' may have gone quiet but I'd hope it's more near-death, in Alabasta Zoro did note the quiet stillness of being close to death after all.

Props to Nami though for not faltering, Tama, Momo, Yamato and the samurai all believed it, no props for Chopper though, I said it the last time Kaido announced Luffy's 'death', Chopper believing it so quickly seems counterproductive to everything he's seen. I don't think a single Straw Hat but Chopper would believe an enemy telling them Luffy is dead, Usopp included because he's already proved that at Alabasta.

I do wonder if Oda's amassing the allies and Akazaya to Kaido just to have them hold their ground first, so everyone can witness Luffy/Joy Boy's return, but we do also have to consider that Izo, Zoro, Kiku, and Kin'emon are out of it, Raizo is close to being out of it too, haven't seen Killer in while too, not to mention how Orochi STILL isn't confirmed dead and Denjiro is still AWOL...

I also don't expect him to be, but kinda hope White-Eye is alive, just because I really wanted him to be Luffy's relative, but imagine the scenes if there are multiple White-Eyes and that he's actually a mass produced Garp clone for the WG? Wouldn't that be wild?

But we have 2 weeks of hype and anxiety to potentially find out what comes next for Luffy, goddamn these breaks.
