Hello, I'm Michael. I'm Noe. And we are the Knights of Entertainment. We got a One Piece chapter update for you from Noe.
We got some, we're going to be covering the latest chapters of One Piece as they come out. So you might get one once a week or once when they do come out.
Because I was lied to and I thought chapter 1096 would come out today and now it's saying seven days from now.
So we will be covering chapter 1095. Chapter 1095 is called Better Off Dead in This World.
That doesn't sound good. Something that Oda liked to do later on in his chapters was that he would like to do one panel stories.
And they would have like a mini title of stuff happening to characters. No dialogue.
Just like it would be a caption and then like one image. And he would do that like for certain characters like throughout different chapters.
And lately he's been doing reader requests. So in this cover chapter, for this one it's called reader request buggy chasing after a squirrel monkey that stole his trademark nose by Nippy.
So that's the image. It's just buggy coming after a monkey. Instead of an actual story.
So basically the chapter opens up with the Marines. They've been told to retreat.
They've all been told to retreat except for the vice and rear admirals. And maintain distance from the island center.
Because St. Saturn had just entered the battlefield. And they are freaking out.
One of them says I've only seen them in portraits. That's how rarely anybody sees them.
They know they exist. The elders. They don't know Imu exists or Im. But the elders are like god figures to them.
And so they're all freaking out. You know one of them came all the way from Marjoya? I forgot what that place is called.
It's like the center of the government. Like this beautiful fucking palace castle on the Red Line Mountains.
And they're basically the center there and these are the pinnacle of those gods.
So basically they consider the Solicitor's Dragon gods. They consider the elders the pinnacle of them.
Like the highest authority in the whole of One Piece.
So in the last chapter, Saturn just got stabbed by Bonnie with a sword.
And people are freaking out. But Saturn doesn't care. He said if I was so afraid of getting stabbed I would have avoided it.
And he pulls the sword out and immediately heals. Like it's nothing.
And after that Luffy had just fought Kazuru and knocked him out.
Which is like the first time I've ever seen an admiral, especially one with light abilities, be hurt.
But he's out. But Luffy's Gear 5 has also worn out. So Luffy, he looks like an old fucking man.
Like look at this fucking image. This is Luffy. Looks like he's like, oh my god, Grandpa.
Like his Gear 5 is really fucking affecting him.
So his Gear 5 has a time limit?
Yeah. Like his body just can't handle it. It's the same with Gear 3.
Was when like, was Snake Man or Bounce Man? One of them, like it took so much hockey that it would just drain him.
And it would take like 30 minutes to re-energize himself.
Right.
Or 10 minutes. It took a small amount of time, but he was enough in a battle.
And so now Kazuru apologizes and Saturn's like, damn, I'm gonna be out for a while.
But he said it's okay, given the circumstances, saying that, you know, because it's Nika.
And basically Saturn's about to kill Luffy. Like that's it. One piece is over.
But Frankie, Luffy's shipwright, saves him. And it actually surprises Saturn. He's like, that's weird.
A pirate crew that cooperates. So he's never like taken off guard, or he never shows it.
He's like almost just intrigued about what's going on.
So, because he says like, strong Luffy and Jewelry Bonnie, we fail to anticipate your presence here.
So he's like, you guys are here, but I don't really care.
Let's see what else happens. So he talks to Vegapunk.
And it's actually a surprise that he's still alive, because they thought they killed him a while back.
And so Saturn's, let me see here. I probably should have read this before I fucking did anything.
Saturn's got Bonnie, and he's choking around. He's actually mad.
And he says, why is it that human beings feel the need to do that, that they are explicitly forbidden from doing?
So basically anything you're not supposed to do, human beings have just a tendency to do.
He has just an innate need to do it. And she's like, she's mad because he killed her father.
Her father was Bartholomew Cuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a former pirate.
And he's going to be going with, what's his name, Dracule?
Yes, they're one of them. And you come to find out that Cuma was part of a race or a clan
that committed a grave crime against the world years ago.
And he's the last survivor of the extinct buccaneer people. I've never heard of them. Not once.
At least I have like 900 episodes in. And if they talked about it, I just overlooked it because I've never heard of the buccaneers.
So it must be a completely new element that I would have just put in.
And it turns out that Cuma is like a worshiper or a follower of Nica, like the god of liberation, basically.
And it says here he appears from the blue. He appears from the blue with laughter and this rhythm.
So here's a rhythm that Luffy appears with, or Nica appears, the doom. My eyeballs.
This right here. Try to say this. This one right here.
Try to sing this. The doom da da, doom da da.
So that's basically the calling card of Nica. Oh, really?
It's kind of like that, ba ba ba ba ba ba. No, that's not that one. It's the ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
It's kind of like that one. There have been drums of liberation since the beginning of One Piece, the anime.
That no one really realized until recently that we found out that Luffy was Nica.
And now we know what those drums. What the sound is. Yeah, it's crazy. It's always been underlying the entire series.
And so it turns out that, yeah, so Kuma's father, they had him and his mother were imprisoned by the Celestial or by the government because of the Buccaneer blood.
And even as a kid, Kuma was exceptionally strong, almost like a giant, but not full giant because giants are massive.
And Kuma's like big, but not like a giant. Right. He'd be like, maybe like 15 feet tall. They make him tall in One Piece sometimes.
Like, I know that a freaking Don Quixote del Flamingo was like nine feet tall. He wasn't a giant at all.
So Kuma was just like, and it's really sad, too, because he gets he's getting beat up by so he's in prison as a kid, Kuma is.
And because this was 47 years ago, South Blue Sorbet Kingdom, Kuma's father and mother got captured and enslaved because of their Buccaneer blood, along with Kuma.
And Kuma's got traded to they all got traded different different slave masters.
And as a kid, Kuma is just exceptionally strong, which is like one of one of one of the Celestials the same like, you know, he's worth a lot because he's so strong.
Right. And then throughout the the the chapter, you see Kuma talking to his father and his father tells him that their mother died because she couldn't handle the stress, I guess.
Or she killed herself. They never say. And the more you see his father, the more like beat up, he gets like losing an eye.
Fucking caught cut up. His father asked him like, how are you being treated, Kuma?
And Kuma says he's fine. His master is really nice, but he's lying because behind him and his back is just fucking cut up that his dad can't see because his fucking slave master whips him all the time.
So they're all being treated poorly. And it really breaks Kuma's heart that his mother's dead.
And he's actually hoping that the warrior of liberation will come.
That he'll show up and save you like save his dad. Right.
So he like he really does follow the Sun God Nika, which is wild.
And eventually, like then 38 years later, we don't know what happens with that. I'm assuming he dies because it doesn't say in the panel.
So then it cuts to 38 years ago in the West Blue and they're having the first the what is it the annual.
This is fucked up the native hunting competition. So basically, members of the government would go to unaffiliated islands with natives that weren't part of the government and they will hunt them down.
Along with any troubled slaves that were, you know, they would just cause trouble like troubled slaves and criminals.
And the winner, because there's six chests right here. See right here. Yeah.
Allegedly, what people think it's the six for devil fruits, because there was a lot of someone gained double fruits like Kito's dragon, double fruit came from this island.
So they think like the winner is going to get all six of these devil fruits. Something. This is God Valley.
So often real big is happening. Yeah. Like off the bat, God Valley is a weird looking island because it looks like it's two hands like this.
Doing this like a prayer thing. Yeah. Look at this.
Here's the island. So I don't know where the main land mass is, but there's like a big cliff on either side. Yeah.
Looking like the two hands of supplication.
So they go there and they immediately kill the king, the native king there. He's killed by this guy named Holy Night Saint Figurine Garling.
This fucking douchebag.
He's a fucking pompadour. Yeah. He gets he gets 10,000 points deducted from him for killing the for because the game started.
He said like even with that handicap, it'll still make it easy for him.
So he's like the favorite to win. Yeah.
And so we know that so now we know that the God Valley is an island of natives, so they're not affiliated with the world government.
We now know that there was a competition to kill these people for just nothing but in sport, which is terrible.
We know that there's certain people on this island like Kuma, who's a slave.
Plus, we have Imperial Ivanko, who's a member of the Revolutionary Army now also on this island and his sister, Jenny.
So I don't know what's happening because the chapter I thought would drop today, so I have no idea.
So we know the devil fruits are there.
We know that the God Valley was just a regular island with normal people.
And now we know there's a contest here and there's six, at least six, allegedly six devil fruits.
I don't know what's in the chest, but I'm going to assume they're all devil fruits. Right.
Like God Valley is like one of the biggest.
That's where the chapter ends.
And God Valley is one of the biggest mysteries in one piece because it was a massive battle between the Rock Pirates and Goldie Roger and Garp.
It was Garp and Goldie.
But by the way, the Rock Pirates are one of the most powerful pirate crews ever because they had three of the four Yonkos.
And the Yonkos were the emperors.
Yeah, they were as powerful as the Navy by themselves.
You had Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido on Rock's pirate crew.
So the fact that Garp and Goldie Roger beat all of them by themselves, allegedly, is fucking wild.
That is surprising.
And they got members of the Revolutionary Army when they were kids there, plus Kuma. Now they don't have devil fruits yet.
So they and all him and the Ivanko had devil fruit powers.
So they could have got it from this situation because they're not going to die here.
So did the Yonko have all theirs?
Not at the moment. No, Kaido got his from Big Mom at God Valley.
OK, so now there's at least three devil fruits here.
Yeah, which is fucking crazy.
So whenever Garp and Goldie Roger beat them, they didn't have the devil fruits yet?
No, he was still normal.
OK, so that makes a little more sense.
How they lost? Yeah, they were still younger. Yeah.
But even then, I guess this was before because him and Whitebeard and Goldie Roger fought one time years later when they were equally matched.
So I guess they weren't at that level yet. Yeah.
And this was a situation that made Garp the Marine hero, like a legendary hero for like the rest of his career.
Yeah. Plus, there's this fucking Holy Knight, which is like an organization within the government that's never been talked about before till recently.
They showed that same guy, but older in a couple of chapters before.
So he's going to be a prominent figure. So there's at least six.
That means the Rock Pirates are going to invade here for sure.
We have celestial dragons there because they're hunting the slaves and natives.
We got the Holy Knight for sure. We're going to have Garp and Goldie Roger.
We have Kuma and Ivanko and Ginny, which are all, I think, revolutionary soldiers.
None of them have their devil fruit powers yet that I know of.
And we have six chests that are the winning prize in this competition.
So, I mean, everything points to a massive battle.
And then in the confusion, maybe some of those devil fruits get taken by the kids, Kuma and Ivanko.
And some of them fall into the Rock Pirates' hands.
Because basically, only the leader goes down.
Because if Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom went down, they would never have been emperors after that.
So the Pirates get destroyed here.
Their leader, Esbek, I always forget his name. I just call him Rocks.
No one even knows what he looks like. I haven't seen him. No one's ever seen him before in the anime or manga.
He's still the mystery figure that I've never seen.
So once Oda actually draws him, we'll know what he looks like.
I don't even know much of his history, really.
Or how he's allegedly incredibly dangerous and powerful.
So we've got to wait seven days to see what happens.
I'll make sure to read it better up this time.
So we have the main stuff at Egghead Island with Satan and Saturn, trying to kill Luffy and Bonnie.
And we have the flashback to God Island.
And we still don't know anything really about Saturn's powers?
Not really, anyway.
Aside from the fact that he came out of a fucking pentagram, a summoning, like a demon?
I have no idea. I've never seen...
Most likely it's a Zouan, because he's half human, half spider.
But the way he talks about people, like he's not a human himself, even though he looks like a human.
You have the fish man. You have the animal people on the giant elephant.
You have different races.
But I've never seen a race so human-like, if the elders are still human.
So either the devil fruit is so powerful that he ate, that it just took over his personality completely.
That it's just a demon.
I'll show you what he looks like. You haven't seen it.
But it's just a giant spider man.
It looks like... You know what it looks like?
You remember the rock from the mummy too?
Yeah.
That's what he looks like.
So are they 100% certain that the elders' powers are devil fruit?
That's what I've been thinking too. What if it's not?
What if this is the first time it's not a devil fruit power? What if it's an actual demon from a different fucking dimension?
Right.
Yeah, that looks weird.
It's most likely the only logical leap if we're going by one piece terms that it's a Zouan.
Because they have their normal state.
So if you were a human, you have your normal human.
You have a full animal state.
So you can be like... Kaido can become a full dragon.
Like one of those long ones.
Like in Chinese mythology.
And you have your hybrid state.
You can become a mix of both.
Of your base and your animal.
And most likely that's his mix. That's his hybrid.
It's half spider, half human.
So if he's got a darker looking form, that's fucking horrifying.
Yeah, but the pentagram part is throwing me off a little bit.
Me too. I've never seen anyone teleport onto the...
So I've never heard anybody even talk about that for one piece.
Yeah, like from a fucking pentagram?
Yeah.
So fucking weird.
I can even pull up the chapter right before this.
You can watch him come out.
And it's fucking freaky.
That does seem a little bit weird though.
It's not a normal one piece situation.
Hmm. Could he be a...
Here's his full form.
He is highest authority in the world.
Five elders. Godhead of science and defense.
Saint Jorah...Jay Garcia Saturn.
That is weird.
And you can see where in the last chapter, someone noticed him.
And he did something like a hockey and he blew his head off.
Because they're not allowed to look upon an elder's body.
Here, look at the pentagram at the bottom.
That just seems weird.
It's like a demon summoning, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does.
And whenever you consider that...
Even if he's got powers like Nika would have,
Nika didn't blow people's heads off by appearing.
No.
That doesn't make a lot of sense.
That has to be a hockey.
That has to be the highest level of hockey I've ever seen.
Because hockey, conqueror's hockey, allows you to basically
knock people out if you wanted to.
Right, but that didn't even seem like he was trying to...
He just wanted to kill the guy.
It just happened.
Huh.
We'll figure it out. I'll keep reading.
I just started chapter one yesterday.
So I'm going to gather it up and then next week I'll do chapter 1096.
If it comes out and they don't delay it again.
Right.
I'll read it in the morning and we'll talk about it at night.
That is weird though. That is very weird.
It's such a wrinkle in the element of One Piece.
Could it be gods that have existed in the world that nobody's figured out?
Yeah, because Nika was the Sun God.
Right.
And then you have Zangoku who was the Buddha.
But this has to be a demon.
It's a devil fruit which is weird, you know?
Yeah.
They never talk...
Nika... I guess that would be a question that I would have.
Is Nika only a devil fruit power?
Or was Nika something else before that?
So, allegedly, from the only theory on One Piece,
devil fruit powers that we've ever gotten was from begapunk
saying that they are the manifestations of people's wishes.
Right.
So, devil fruits were formed as a wish for something like...
I've always wanted to be a T-Rex.
So there's a guy with a T...
There's a devil fruit with T-Rex powers.
I've always wanted to be able to control lightning.
So there's a lightning devil fruit.
Right.
So what if all these people, they've picked up the history
of some being named Nika that didn't exist
and they wanted it so badly for him to be the God of liberation
because they were so oppressed
that it manifested the devil fruit into this world.
And so basically the first person that ate that devil fruit
became that God that got passed down in history.
Right.
It's my thinking that that's the only thing I can think about.
So there wasn't a being named Nika before,
only just legends, I guess?
Only like the hope for freedom.
And then maybe the person that ate that devil fruit was named...
His name was Nika?
And he just became that, you know what I mean?
The God of liberation.
Right. And then like his legend...
The first guy that ate that devil fruit,
that was the legend that started Nika.
Right.
So Nika was just maybe a person that ate the devil fruit
of the hope of people's freedom.
It's the only thing I could think like
if he didn't exist in an actual being,
was just a concept that became an actual being.
It's real mind-blowing.
Because my theory would be that there was beings that existed
before the devil fruits, like actual gods and demons.
That'd be another way.
Especially would explain the...
Because that would explain Saturn's powers pretty well.
Especially the demon summoning thing.
And isn't he long-lived?
That I don't know. They have to be.
All of them, all of him and them five and him have to be immortal.
That's what I'm saying.
But nobody knows that because maybe they just like,
they keep, maybe they switch forms into something younger.
So it doesn't get suspicious.
Longevity is not something that's that big in one piece.
Right.
Aside from giants. Giants can live a long time.
Because my thing, didn't he say that it's been a long time
since he stepped foot on the ground or something like that?
Yeah, he said it's been so long since I've been on the...
He said on the surface, which was freaking me out.
Yeah.
The surface? What do you mean the surface?
Where have you been?
It's either high up or below ground somewhere.
Like super in hell.
Or I guess maybe they don't consider the castles they live on surface world.
Yeah.
It's weird.
But hey, it's getting real serious now in one piece.
Yeah.
We'll figure it out.
If I start getting, if I start reading all the chapters
and picking up little tidbits here and there,
I think I can piece it together.
But then Odo will change it because you figured it out.
As long as he lets me know that I figured it out.
I mean, that'd be, at least, you know, cut a bro a break.
It's like send me a message and say you were right here, but I changed it.
Because already chapter one, I learned something.
Because I know Odo doesn't like to add anything unless it actually has meaning.
Like he doesn't like to write, like just throw away words and lines.
Everything has a meticulous reason to be said or done.
Luffy said at the beginning of chapter one, at the end of chapter one,
that he had to go find his crew.
He said he did, I guess, 10 men will do.
He said he's eight, so he needs 10 crew members.
And so far he hasn't had 10.
So everyone keeps wondering how many members he's going to have eventually.
I guess it's just 10. 10 of his main crew.
I mean, he's got the grand fleet, but he doesn't consider them part of his crew.
Like they're not the straw hat crew itself.
So I'm going with 10.
Because he said 10 at the beginning.
And Odo never fucking said anything without reason.
See, I'm wondering how, like you talked about it before,
but where the barrel thing, it was mentioned to the very, like it.
It happens at chapter two. Yeah.
Yeah, happened at the beginning.
He's like, well, this is a, Luffy's like, this is a predicament.
And immediately a whirlpool had just opened up in his tiny boat.
But somehow he instinctively gets inside of a barrel.
He's, well, I guess I would too.
I don't know, I guess I would just drown.
Because I'd be dumb as fuck.
Like it wouldn't be the first thought on your mind to jump into a barrel.
Probably not. Luffy just, he's a survivor.
But at this, but again, at this point he already has the devil fruit that he ate.
He ate it when he was seven.
So if he has Nika's subconscious powers that he don't even know about,
it may have been a subconscious thing to get into a barrel.
Yeah.
To run, basically.
It saved his life for sure.
Right.
Especially because he was by himself.
That would have been a wrap.
But I guess we will see you guys next week with the next chapter update.
If it fucking pops up, if not, we'll go one chapter back.
We'll see you guys on the next one.
We'll solve this, don't worry.
