One piece: Chapter 1113 spoilers
Tumblr media
I haven't got much to say, even though it was a great chapter, but the exchange above about Franky both destroying Baldimore (or Vegapunk's lab), and then the casual observation: "I hear he's turned himself into a ship now," kills me.
because he could and
it's obviously public perception, either because of the marine bounty poster after Wano (where there's no picture of Franky--just the Thousand Sunny, OR because public perception pushed that depiction.
Anyway!

Also, indulge me:
Tumblr media
This scene from One Piece Academy some time ago (Law and Robin are just friends, but they're good friends, and Onigiri and she get on well!). Combined with:
Tumblr media
this scene of Onigiri snoozing on Robin's lap from One Piece Academy 41 (safer than Cora!), to this placement:
Tumblr media
of our dark-haired duo...
(Robin is saying "a certain" there (とある, toaru), not Law's name! (トラ男 tora-o) btw, and thank you for translation from @1000sunnygo! in this post.) ...Let's me imagine that OP Academy low-key sees them as having an affinity with one another! The fact that Robin hacks
Tumblr media
Cora's security system (his password was his birthdate, but how did Robin know that? i'm sure it's in the lore somewhere, and Robin is Robin), and offers to help Law and Cora in their mission adds to it! (of course all of the Straw Hats are helping, Nami offers to charge!).
Robin calls Cora Cora-o kun (コラ男くん). The 男 (o --> otoko--> boy/man at the end of his name [as it is at the end of Tora]) is cute. It's pretty unusual for a non-adult to use the suffix 'kun' to an adult though, and even among adults is usually used for closer acquaintances, once past youth. That's my understanding anyway. So, that's another Robin quirk. Anyway But as 1000sunnygo says in this post, the academy society is mostly made up of students, including characters who should be adults, like Cora, or who are adults but still students.
Tumblr media
Robin offering her and Brook's services because they're good at subterfuge, as seen in the screen-cap above, is very supportive of Law and his benefactor! I know all the characters have run-ins with the 'bad guys' at the academy and influencing the academy. The other person who seems to have an accidental (Robin's is not accidental) affinity for Onigiri (and by extension, Law) is Kid!
Tumblr media
Not from the latest chapter (Kid needs to be nice to save himself from going to Hell). I am nothing if not a multi-shipper 😁. Onigiri is maybe as popular as Law himself :D
Source for the latest chapter / 1000sunnygo's translation

Chapter 1110 spoilers
Tumblr media
Just including this because you don't get this kind of information with the official. These are from the scans.
Editing this to make sure folks check out this post from Artur at the Library of Ohara which expands upon, especially, the last two forms above (but also gives new information on the others).

knee jerk reaction (shanks and buggy)?—One Piece 1082 Spoilers
***
So Buggy wants to and wanted to go after the One Piece:
Tumblr media
Much to the consternation of Crocodile and Mihawak but with the full support of
Tumblr media
Buggy's men. And I had to include Croc and Mihawk's reactions there. You can imagine Mihawk saying, "You dastardly rat, you" (or cockroach or clown).
And why? Because he seemed to have thought that Shanks wasn't going to go for the One Piece at all, despite Shanks saying that he just wasn't ready for it yet.
Tumblr media
And Shanks had said that he and Buggy were gonna get to Laugh Tale together.
Tumblr media
He uses 'our' in the English. There's no exclusion, and Buggy sees that Shanks shines brightly, but I don't see Shanks
saying that he'll be the one, nor that he needs to exclude Buggy, just that he needs to
Tumblr media
wait. Maybe for Buggy to power up or come into a realisation of his own power / worth, which is a wily beast indeed? Anyway, Red is on the move as Buggy says:
Tumblr media
Maybe with a different right hand man (I love Beck too). But maybe that's the point, he and Buggy might meet as equals
Tumblr media
[caption: Shanks prior to getting the road poneglyph and others from the Kid Pirates]
And they're not gonna claim the One PIece together, cos' that's Luffy's job, but maybe they will try together (competition is fine too, though).
As an aside, this frame about Luffy and Bartolomeo and Bartolomeo replacing the Red Haired Flags with Luffy's own from chapter 1054:
Tumblr media
I don't know if I'm reading this right, but Shanks doesn't go after Bartolomeo because he replaced Shanks' flags with Luffy's, and because they were Luffy's flags he's letting it slip, OR that seeing Luffy now without dealing with Bartolomeo first might imply that Shanks agrees with the actions (and maybe he does), OR that they're going to hurt an ally of Luffy's, or that they need to hurt him so that Luffy doesn't think that Shanks is humouring Luffy.... I'm not 100% sure, but anyway I'm leaning towards the idea that the One Piece might be found by both Shanks and Buggy, but its truth worth lies beyond that, and that is what Luffy will gain.
Messy analysis, sorry. BUT, if Buggy had been patient, would things have gone differently? Would he have joined Shanks' crew if he'd gone straight for the One Piece, or did he imagine they'd sail as comrades of an equal standing (maybe not, due to his description of Shanks' potential, but that might've been Buggy-generated). A friend has said Buggy's a candidate for Conqueror's Haki and he's probably right.
This meta meandered. Sorry.

chapter 1081 spoilers—okay, angst is fun and all but...
Shachi literally means orca in Japanese. Ikkaku means narwhal. They can dive deep (Narwhals, deeper than most submarines go, I think) and survive. Penguins are pretty good underwater for a while (though I don't know about depth). The ocean is the home of sea urchins and sea angels (Uni and Clione). And have we forgotten how hardcore Penguin and Shachi went here?:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And do you think that Jean Bart looks a little fishman here? ( A little Namur-like).
Tumblr media
Now, I don't know about snow geese, but we'll give Hakugan some magical properties. So while it is heartbreaking that the Polar Tang
will no longer sail the seas (and, yeah, the boys had had it forever, but this is the sub's own Going Merry moment, perhaps), I think we should believe Bepo here:
Tumblr media
where he urges Law to have faith in the hardiness of his North Blue crew in the depths of the ocean. His concern is more with Law (but we know he'll be okay):
Tumblr media
Bepo urges Law not to die, but the Hearts will continue to overcome. I don't know that they'll be captured either, but they must've almost escaped because Jean Bart was on land, right? In chapter 1064:
Tumblr media
But look at this instruction (also from 1064):
Tumblr media
where Law urges Penguin and Shachi into the water. The Hearts are fine, but I understand the angst (it's glorious, isn't it?!). I think Law's worried, obviously, but I also think he picked his crew and mode of transport for a reason beyond just remaining hidden.
But, the Polar Tang:
Tumblr media
the Victoria Punk
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the Jewelry Margerhita?
Tumblr media
Although, the Wiki says they don't know what happened to it after Bonney was captured by Blackbeard way back when, but in Egghead Jinbei does ask her:
Tumblr media
where her ship and crew is. She states that her ship (which might be the Jewelry Margherita) was eaten by the monsters (controlled by Lilith, right?) outside of Egghead, and that she came alone.
The wiki says: (according to Vivre Card - One Piece Visual Dictionary (Card #0511), Information about Bonney is revealed), that:
Bonney seems to prioritize her own safety over her crew's as she managed to escape Marine detainment but chose not to rescue her subordinates.
That's stark contrast to Law, and we've mostly seen her operate alone, but I'm not gonna believe the Vivre cards just yet.
Also, Kid's obviously alive if Law is and if their losses were similar in wording and visuals. I think Kid's crew have saved him, if not Shanks' crew.
BUT, once Law recovers, he'll not be sequestered in a cell for ten years before he becomes relevant again (poor Kid. Damn!).
As @purplehairedwonder pointed out, the Polar Tang was carrying Law's poneglyph copies, and I bet that the crew is carrying them. Hope so. He'd be wise enough to have them waterproofed. BUT it makes more narrative sense to have them destroyed.
Now, someone was talking about how a Klabautermann is only seen when a ship is doomed (this wikipedia article supports it, but that's as far as my sources go) and therefore they didn't include images/stories/prompts about it for the Polar Tang. I can't remember who it was! Ahh, well it seems that the Klabautermann of various ships have been very busy lately.
Kuzan, too. Kuzan is cool (haha). I'm glad we saw him. And the dialogue with the Blackbeard pirates and Kuzan. OH, I almost forgot, this angst:
Tumblr media
where Blackbeard taunts Law with the fact (yes, fact!) that there are a hundred pirates on Pirate Island still without their hearts, due to Law, and BB would be thrilled to punish Law for the fact, can't help but stir the whump-writer's heart (I'm sorry, Law).
AND, Koby and Law were in cahoots in some way, I'm sure of it (probably be disproven). Something similar to Luffy and Smoker at Alabasta, perhaps? Anyway.
Side note, do you think that Chopper used Caesar Clown's science and ego to help produce the rumble-ball like power-up he gave Bepo? If so, I wonder if this will come to play in the future when Caesar and Judge enter the fray again, if they do.

One Piece Academy 41 tidbits
Thanks to @1000sunnygo for a rough and wonderful translation and the source/chapter is here.
Just gonna post a few small things like the way they're all sitting during the card game:
Tumblr media
Koby, Nami, Brook and Vivi are all sitting in seiza, like well-brought up folk. Not sure about Sanji, but from his posture, perhaps not. Chopper needs to be on a chair, and Luffy uses his powers (not connected to seiza!) to the best of his cheating ability. Whether he actually knows how to cheat is another matter!
Robin has onigiri on her knees, and in a later frame seems she's also sitting in seiza. It's pretty uncomfortable over a period of time, but not so bad initially.

true history: true mystery, chapter 1085 spoilers
OH MY GAWD,
What a chapter. And cos he's my boy, told you we didn't have to worry too much about one
Tumblr media
Trafalgar
Tumblr media
D.
Tumblr media
Water Law!
I'm so excited (I feel like I should go out and order the whole set of steak knives).
Anyhoo! I remember when I enjoyed reading the scans on my Friday, and they now come out very early my Thursday morning (like, super early. It's just shy of 3am). BUT this was a treat. And the reason I mostly read them is to prevent being spoiled, but also because they include really interesting translator's notes, etc. such as the ones below about Imu:
Tumblr media
Which is difficult to see, but basically it says that Imu refers to themself as Mu and then says that Mu can refer to the void century but also to dreams. Super interesting. And so, Lili was not, unfortunately Imu (but that's okay, cos' I love this story line too), BUT she was a...
Tumblr media
D!!!
As shown above, where King Cobra realises...
...that he won't survive his encounter with Imu (who was apparently one of the original 20), and Cobra reveals that Lili was Queen Nefertari D. Lili. GOOD STUFF. Sabo overhears. Imu has some problems with this, because, as stated by Cora
Tumblr media
and reiterated by (without knowledge to the best of our understanding) Imu
Tumblr media
the "D" is the moniker of the Celestials ancient enemy.
And, although sketchy, look at the perspective from that panel above! Imu is miles above them all. Another aside, while looking up Cora and Doflamingo stuff, there's also the 'heavenly' perspective on this frame with Cora and Law, but I also know Oda is fond of this type of editing/story telling:
Tumblr media
Back to 1085: Cobra's recollection that Imu was the name of one of the original 20 does tie into the probable theory that Imu had the eternal youth operation centuries prior.
Anyhoo, this is well out of order (my posting of frames) as always! Sorry. It's not only the D's that Imu and their clan need to be scared of, but also
Tumblr media
the scholars. Be still my LawBin shipping (platonic or romantic) heart! But, I digress. So Lili is the one responsible for the preservation and also dispersal of
Tumblr media
the poneglyphs. Whole page there. So much information! Cobra has not revealed that Lili was a "D" at this point, or that he himself is, so he was playing with fire coming in to see the Elders, but I guess the whole lineage had known about that for a long time then (that they had the initial for some reason) and had survived. It also seems that maybe King Cobra did know more about the poneglyph in Alabasta than previously assumed. Perhaps?
Anyway, Imu above says that Lili's dispersal of the poneglyphs around the world was perhaps a deliberate action (apparently it had been passed off as a mistake, a blunder) as part of a larger plan. And with the reveal of her being a possessor of the Will of D. it seems it probably was, even if she was a catalyst, as so many D's seem to be, without having full awareness or knowledge of what ultimate role they're playing.
Tumblr media
Full page again, cos it's so good. So Imu questions Cobra as to why they never divulged Lili's full name, only referring to her by her royal title, which is actually pretty standard practice. BUT, Imu obviously has very strong convictions that Lili is one of those rabble rousers who get this his entity-self really hot under the collar too!
And the Gorosei basically saying: You can't expose that we're some kind of oligarchy/dictatorship/absolute malignant monarchy when it's supposed to be some kind form of supposed League of Nations acting for all countries and supposed world peace. Interesting mix of Imperialism and colonialism these guys have going on. Anyway! The revery is still going on, and is now absolutely proven to be a farce:
Tumblr media
Although King Neptune, and who's the other dude? Can't remember. Not Dalton, is it? (please let me know) King Riku Doldo are looking very skeptical at the Uncle Sam dude. (Thank you @robinchan-hananomi !)
Walpol becomes relevant in a way that it seems that Caribou will be too, and Vivi has been kidnapped by the CIA CP0 (or are they CP9)?
Walpol overhears and sees not only Imu's decimation of Cobra with figures that look a lot like Kanjurou's Kazenbo flame spirit from Wano (did the Gorosei shape-shift too, or was it all Imu sending out some kind of malevolent spirit?), but I think he also overhears Cobra's revelation to Sabo that has a nice SFX bubble over it to just tease we readers enough with hints of information about how the Poneglyphs must be protected, and will seemingly will help usher in the dawn! Ooh, so excited.
Tumblr media
BTW. What or who is the figure behind Cobra in the bottom right panel? Sabo?
Walpol outs himself as having seen everything, so shocking is it to him:
Tumblr media
and so the spectres are on his tail (and I think it's quite funny that first Imu doesn't know or sense Sabo, and other defenses are breached by Walpol, of all people!). SO, he's one of my least favourite villains, along with Caribou and Spandam, but I'm guessing there's something with their devil fruits that make them crucial to the plot, as well as being kind of incidental characters witnessing key points of One Piece lore.
I doubt he has any great love for Vivi, but he also probably knows where his best chance for survival lies, so, it seems he's been creeping around the castle and I'm going to align CPO with Get Smart now, cos they've got that kinda vibe. Not goofy enough to be Scooby Doo (although Jabra does a good job), but still funny and sexy enough to be the characters of Get Smart who weren't Max. (look it up if you don't know).
Anyhoo! Vivi got kidnapped, and I'm guessing it was at the urging of the gorosei who did it at the urging of Imu, or maybe if Cobra didn't spill the beans, they would've used her as a bargaining chip. Anyway, Kalifa here:
Tumblr media
stating that Vivi will end up being a pet (?!?). Did Charloss want her? And I'm wondering if Jabra's wording is a mistranslation, although maybe not. As far as I'm aware, the expression is "play your cards closer to your chest", but maybe it's changed over time. Or there's a pun I'm not getting.
Vivi's reaction in the following frame is awesome (gonna put the whole page in again, cos it's got so much info):
Tumblr media
First, awesome that Shirahoshi got away, and we saw that way back when with Garp accompanying the family back to Fishmen Island. Cool info dump from Jabra above. (Very chatty secret agents. Maybe that's why they don't get to wear masks). But I especially like Vivi's incredulity at Kalifa's comment, and her commitment to doing something about it. She's got a devil fruit, doesn't she? Yes! BUT
Tumblr media
Trashing young prince to the rescue! (okay, he's a king, once disposed, newly reinstated somewhere) (but he is young. This guy's in his 20s, I think). Vivi hitches a ride with the dumpster on wheels. And from there, Big News Morgans picks them up! (not yet witnessed). Here from chapter 1074:
Tumblr media
She's really gone up in my estimation. I never noticed how much she speaks her mind and sticks up for others before (I'm slow, don't worry). And it's not just cos she's a D. Haha. That's not an automatic "like" card, but I might be a little predisposed.
Speaking of which, this part with the ASL brothers was hilarious:
Tumblr media
"Do want a "D" in your name, Sabo?"
"You can be Sad. Bo!"
"Why'd you put it there!?!"
Ah, lol, bless.
Also, Imu has the same kind of imperiousness as Doflamingo. Doflamingo's rougher in speech, and I'm guessing with the "thou" and so on shown in the scanlation on the first page that Imu is formal, but as entitled and condescending as fuck, just like our pink feathered friend.
One thing (or many) so interesting about Doffy, though, is:
Tumblr media
from chapter 727, is that he's a man very sore about losing his Celestial dragon status, who wants to destroy them and the world government, and who is not afraid of the CD's. Also, it seems that he's well aware of Imu (Mary Geoise's greatest treasure?). I wonder how he was going to challenge Imu if Law had granted him eternal life. If that was his aim. So, a digression, but I think our pink bird will again be relevant soon! Fingers crossed, and I really don't want them to redeem him. Please.
Lastly, the cover was very cute:
Tumblr media
Franky directing newly hatched turtles to the ocean, and it's true, so many head in the wrong direction, and such a small proportion actually survive, so he's a hero. Is he sitting on a turtle-hatchling eating crab?
Dunno if any of this was coherent, and I'm sure I missed a bunch, but over and out for now (ah, back to bed!).

Oda packing the punches: Chapter 1086 spoilers
Okay, I'm not doing a long one like last week, but heaps to take in, and I adore the idea of all of the notorious, prestigious and sought after stowaways on the ships leaving the Marie Geoise shores.
The ones from the new world must do so with World Government (Marine) assistances, right?
And Tajine Kingdom (Bonney stowed away on their ship) and St. Aegis kingdom (Walpol and Vivi stowed away on theirs) were World Government member nations, and both rebelled. I wonder why.
My main reason for being here, though is:
Tumblr media
this!!!!!! 👆
Look at our bow-legged bird, even in seraphim form. Crocodile's beauty is as glassy-eyed (sad-eyed, dead-eyed?) as Boa Hancock's and Mihawk's, and Moria's looking pretty good too.
So, the seraphim are being employed to basically destroy their makers (the original Hancock, Mihawk, etc.—not that we've seen a Mihawk/S-Mihawk fight yet). There has to be a Trafalgar Law one. Oda wouldn't pass up the opportunity, I think. Although, if it will convolute the story, that one might be left to us fan-fiction writers.
Lots of other stuff. Massive catch up, lore drops. The destruction of Lulusia seems to parallel Marshall Island Atoll nuclear tests or Maralinga in the centre of Australia, or so many others, and more linearly (time-wise) the U.S. government's nuclear testing in New Mexico before the ultimate bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Robin has apparently told the revs:
Tumblr media
that the ancient weapons exist (as Ivankov lets us know above).
And more parallels here with the Einstein / Vegapunk thing, and what their research can be harnessed for, or what they might directly contribute to without and possibly with knowing the consequences.
Iva suspects that the attack has nothing to do with Vegapunk (although maybe I misread the panel—it seemed that Imu thought it was Vegapunk's work, but Imu might've been referring to the seraphim).
Iva suspects that Imu is
Tumblr media
Imu of House Nerona (one of the original founders of the Celestial Dragons / Word Government / Mary Geoise), so, from the void century and granted eternal youth through the ope ope no mi, although the fruit is not mentioned by name. Whether the revs' don't know it's granted from a fruit, or whether they're playing coy, is not apparent. It seems the former.
As a founder, they (Imu) could possibly have knowledge of the ancient weapons.
So, as an aside, considering the original granter of the eternal fruit would have died as per their fruit's power (Lili?) then there must be more people around with eternal youth too, right?, because others would have consumed the fruit, and 800 years is a long time.
Anyway, briefly onto Lili; if she had the ope ope no mi, she could've shambled the poneglyphs the world over as a very awakened form of the fruit, and maybe granting Imu eternal youth is what caused her death. I don't think that's my idea. I probably read it somewhere, but I can't recall where.
For the above, I love that Robin's dropping massive intel into the Revolutionary Army's lap.
Seems that Sabo will be a D. too, from this statement below 👇 . I'd prefer he wasn't, but, whatever!
Tumblr media
Sabo is definitely surrounded by them! And that 'checkered fate' line is used a lot. I know there are a few translations on it.
Lastly, and it's not only the last (like, for instance, Walpol won't tell Vivi about her Father, CPO are running around with pictures of Vivi and Sabo to folks in Mary Geoise, Sterry (Sabo's brother) doing a Sanji when sighting Vivi's picture, and Big News Morgans filling the reader in on how he managed to pick up Walpol and Vivi (we suppose)): BUT possibly one of the biggest pieces of news is:
Tumblr media
that Saint Donquixote Mosgard will be executed due to protecting Shirahoshi 👆 , thereby running parallels with Homing, except that Mosgard was effective with his compassion, but will also pay with his life, as did Donquixote Rosinante (and his father). And
The person tasked with the execution is the former king of God Valley, and I know there's a lot of Rocks D. Xebec info about God Valley that's basically all over my head at present (will read up on it later, or read someone else's meta).
But as importantly, or maybe more importantly, is this guy's name: Saint Figarland Garling. Shanks, was stated by the Gorosei in Film Red (although I missed this section, or forgot it) as coming from the Figarland family (he was discovered in a box that the Roger Pirates stole during the God Valley Incident).
Ahahahah. I love all the influences though: Good Donquixotes, and then Donquixote Doflamingo. Entitled Figarlands, and then good Shanks, or maybe not... (I believe he's good, but Oda always turns the tables on me, and everything's grey, even when characters have positive aspects).
So, yeah—there's a ton of stuff. Go have a read or wait for the official, but the scans gave the elders their names, so I'll just drop that too, and a translators' note that was interesting:
Tumblr media
Read below for their processes in naming:
Tumblr media
Okay as said, I didn't cover everything, but ALSO, look at this gorgeous cover (Oda can't be ignorant that it's pride month)
Tumblr media
I love the little frog. It's a reader's request: Chopper and a kitty crossing the reflection of a rainbow they see in a puddle. Cute! The reflections look great too.
Also, don't forget this guy:

just a few things that amused me: chapter 1087 spoilers
It's a serious chapter, and Oda's serious about us all realising the threat of Blackbeard and his crew and affiliates, but just a few frames from me:
Tumblr media
A couple of weeks before the 5 week recuperation period, Grus was put out that Garp hadn't mentioned that he, along with Koby, was the future of the marines.
He asks directly. I like that. But poor Prince Grus. 😁
Tumblr media
Garp gets severely wounded by an invisible Shiryu, and Koby wants to take the blame because he states that Garp protected him (which he probably did). But Garp's response is for Koby to "Don't flatter yourself"...Shiryu having had Garp "in his sights the whole time", which also seems truer.
Really, if these three guys had headed to the ship, Garp would have less to worry about and the ship would probably be safer, but messy kinda humans and co. make up the world of One Piece.
Tumblr media
And the first strip above is funny—Kuzan obviously having been treated similar to Garp's rearing (or not) of Dragon and Luffy (that's only kinda the funny part), and Garp invading his personal space and time in the way he did Sengoku's, once Kuzan was made an admiral.
But that familiarity makes the words leading up to the battle between Garp and Kuzan below cut! Man. Especially considering Kuzan...
...saved Smoker. Was gonna say, well, he's obviously not part of SWORD. But then I remembered about Smoker. Hmm.
Tumblr media
There's Tsuru's granddaughter, right? . And Tashigi gets the caretaker's role again (for Hibari, Akainu's granddaughter, possibly)? BUT, if Garp is captured again, or Koby and co., fingers crossed she gets a more active role. But it makes me wonder when you see characters like:
Tumblr media
Maki from Jujutsu Kaisen or even
Tumblr media
Power from Chainsaw Man (and others),
how Oda feels about really having let the ball drop with his female characters. Not all of them, but he set up so many great characters, and what do you think happened? Editorial interference? Oda liked the concept, but not the manifestation? Too difficult to draw? After all, he's just learnt how to draw sexy bums, apparently, which is why we're getting so many (female) bums in the manga lately.
From Sandman on Twitter:
New SBS: Oda: We see many drawings with angles of butts. In a future island, I tried to make a different design from the present day. I ended up with a costume that shows butts. I researched how to draw sexy butts. It's fun to draw butts now because I can draw them well.
I don't hold out hope for him. JKK and CSM are in no way perfect, but it's a better balance.
Then again:
Tumblr media
Maybe Tashigi and Shigure will easily deal with this! Fingers crossed. Or maybe this is when Smoker makes an appearance.
Anyway:
Tumblr media
Do you think that Kuzan might've rushed in as a protective measure? In that, he wasn't protecting the small fry, but was protecting Garp from them, even though they sent each other flying (although, possibly out of the way of harm?). Seems the horde is closing in on Garp, though. With Prince Grus standing by to fight them off.
Tumblr media
Also, Perona and Moria are still floating and lurking around!
My quick few frames are never a quick few frames!

1080–Akainu's daughter?
Tumblr media
One thing I'm not seeing about Hibari that is happening in the Japanese fandom is her possible link to Akainu. I read a super early scan, (and wished I'd downloaded, cos' it's not there now), which said that she speaks with the same kind of dialect that Akainu does, and the translation indicated that. This is from Sandman on Twitter from September last year,
Tumblr media
and a bit more recently:
Tumblr media
Transcript:
September 26:
In the latest chapter, Hibari's Japanese speech style is inevitably lost in translation. It is called "Hiroshima dialect", the same as Akainu. Considering only these 2 characters speak that dialect in OP, Oda might be implying Hibari is Akainu's daughter or something.
January 8:
Hibari being Akainu's daughter theory is pretty popular in the Japanese fanbase. I'm wondering how Akainu would react when he knows Hibari is involved in the attack against Blackbeard
Go give Sandman some love. They're a great resource and seem to be a really nice person!

One Piece 1099 spoilers
Early scans are a bit dodgy with a few grammar mistakes, but I use this site a lot, and they tend to upload with TCB after, and generally get it pretty right with the first scans.
Anyway! Who thought there would be such Cora and Kuma and Law and Bonney parallels. AND, ah, Vegapunk, a man really blinded by science. Did he hoodwink Kuma?
