When I watch it as it airs I watch the sub but I watch dub when I watch it on DVD. That's how I watch most anime.

Enel is from a sky island he's from Birka, he only came to Skypia a few years ago but he's not from the blue sea, his 4 priests came with him from Birka they're not native to Skypia either and they all have wings. I have no idea why Enel doesn't have wings, he taps the drums on his back to use his devil fruit so maybe they're a part of his devil fruit powers and replaced his wings.

^There is one detail that could point to Scopper. Kidd and Killer talk about this person like he knows where One Piece is, they're acting like finding him is an important step on the way to One Piece and claimed that Luffy was a step behind them in the search just because he didn't know about him. This is the most important detail to me and rules out every burned or fire powered character we've met so far. Scopper on the other hand was one of the strongest Roger pirates and has been to Laughtale.

While it's true none of the flashbacks indicated he had a connection with flames we've basically not seen anything about him at all. All we've seen of his is brief sightings where he used 2 axes and the statement that he's one of the strongest Roger pirates, that's not enough information to make make any definitive statements about what he does or doesn't have a connection to. And if the mark is a burn then he's had 20 years since we last saw him to get some.

I don't think it's someone new because if it is what's the point in not giving a name. If we won't recognise the name why not just say it.

Oda's been saying "5 more years" for the last 20 years, whenever anyone has asked he's said he plans to end it in about 5 years it's his stock answer.

The only concrete evidence we've got is that in 2020 Shonen Jump announced that the next saga will be that last one and that wasn't an interview answer it was an official announcement they put in the magazine. Since the longest saga so far has been the Yonkou Saga at 7 years, and that seems to be wrapping up, 5 years is probably a decent estimate.

It's worth noting that when she infiltrated Mary Geoise she imitated the Queen Dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom and the Sorbet Kingdom is the nation that Kuma used to be king of, that's definitely not a coincidence, and she can change her own age we don't know for sure that she is the age we normally see her as.

Pluton isn't in Alabasta, the poneglyph with Pluton's location on it is in Alabasta but that doesn't mean Pluton itself is.

Also the existence of the Alabasta poneglyph and the fact that that one leads to Pluton isn't common knowledge, Cobra was shocked that Crocodile knew it existed at all and Crocodile was angry but not surprised when Robin said it didn't contain the location because even he wasn't certain.

His body was set on fire and completely burned to ash so it would appear that if the body the shadow was attached to doesn't exist anymore it will also return to it's original.

No he can't swim. Fishmen who eat DF's can't swim just like everyone else but being a fishman he can still breath underwater so he's not going to drown.

@Thagiftedkid It wasn't her that said she was on the same ship it was a marine when they were discussing with Kizaru the likelihood of Weevil being WB's son, it might have even been Kizaru that said it so I think that's probably legit.

The implication so far seems to be she was a Rocks Pirate. The Rocks Pirates broke up 38 years ago so unless WB was on the ship for less than 2 years that was the ship he was on 40 years ago.

Edit: I've just looked it up it wasn't Kizaru who said it (I think I got it confused with that scene where he's talking about Weevil) it was Marco that said it, either way the claim they were on the same ship is probably true.

^Yes and in the exact same speech where we're told that we're also told that Kaido has never lost a 1 on 1 fight, meaning that all those times he was captured they weren't 1 on 1. The idea that Kaido can't lose 1 on 1 came up again very recently in the manga and that's my entire point. Luffy will beat Kaido but it won't be 1 on 1 he'll need help to do it and that leaves room for growth. Even after Kaido's defeat Luffy wasn't able to beat a Yonkou by himself so there will still be tough opponents down the road.

I don't know if you read the manga so I won't go into major spoilers but the key around Kaido is the phrase "Kaido has never lost 1v1" and I think that will still be true. It's looking like the final fight with Kaido will be 2v1 maybe even 3v1 so that's how "The Strongest Creature in the World" can be defeated and still leave growth or a bigger enemy for Luffy because he wasn't able to beat Kaido by himself.

It's Johnny Yong Bosch still, they've already released Dressrossa episodes with him in. In the past they've always tried to keep the same VA's across multiple medias the VA for Crocodile appeared in a film for them first and the guys that voiced Lucci and Kaku first did the English voices for them for a video game years before the CP9 arc was dubbed.

Snack lost his position as a Sweet Commander because he lost to Urouge so it's possible that Big Mom stripped both of them of the titles as well and left them behind as punishment.

Without getting into too many manga spoilers for anime only watchers the 1v1 fights have started and Sanji is fighting a much stronger opponent than Jinbe. Jinbe fought a Tobi Roppo but it was a hard fight, Sanji is currently fighting an actual commander, one of the 3 All Stars and presumable he's going to win his fight so that would put Sanji at a higher level than Jinbe.

However Sanji's fight has only just started so who knows where it will go he may end up getting help from someone and win in a 2 v 1 or he may even lose but depending on how that fight goes I'd say Sanji.

@Monkey.Dree First Mate means 2nd in Command, it is also called Chief Mate, Chief Officer or First Officer it is called the First Mate because they are first in line to lead after the captain (I did say that) NOT because they were first to join the crew. On large ships there are also 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th mates.

It's just a term to denote the chain of command and has nothing to do with the order in which they joined. It is the seafaring equivalent of a vice-captain.

In fiction the first to join will often be the first mate because captains in fiction will assign the position of 2nd in Command to the first person that joined but that's not what the term means.

There's a First Mate page on this wiki that lists the first mates in OP, we only know the join order of one of them and that's Rayleigh who was the first mate of the Roger pirates but we don't know the join order of the others, and nowhere on the page (or anywhere on google) does it list "first to join" as a definition of First Mate.

You're right in that they don't have a vice-captain/first mate or officers of any rank because what's the point in a chain of command when there's only 10 of them. The chain of command is Luffy's the captain, everyone else isn't.

There is no first mate among the Strawhats but Zoro and Nami share the first mate duties between them.

A first mate's job is to be in charge, issue orders and direct the crew when the captain can't or isn't interested and Nami is usually the one who does that, Zoro keeps discipline when it's truly necessary both if the crew is acting out of line or if Luffy has dropped the ball (like in Punk Hazard), that job usually falls to a bosun or quartermaster but on a small crew who has no need for one it can fall to the first mate.

They both fill the role when it's needed but honestly the crew is too small to need someone who's entire role is 2nd in Command or any commanders in general.

Luffy continuously calls Zoro his crew's swordsman but since that's not a position his official role is combatant. The reason Zoro is a called a combatant when they all fight is because he doesn't have another job, they all fight but he's the only person on the ship who's only job is to fight.

I should also address some confusion about the term that always comes up during these discussions, First Mate and Vice Captain are the same thing. First Mate does not mean "first to join the crew" it's called that because the first mate is "first in charge after the captain" on very large ships there would also be 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th mates but they don't indicate the order in which people joined they indicate the order in which people are in charge, that's it.

In these first mate discussions people always bring up "Zoro's the First Mate because he was first to join but he's not the vice-captain", that statement is nonsense. As I've said that's not what first mate means also vice-captain isn't even a real term on ships. The position/term of vice-captain only exists in sports teams the naval equivalent of a vice-captain is... First Mate.

Oda's been saying "5 more years" for longer than 5 years, it seems to be his stock answer whenever he's asked.

The closet official timeline we have is last year Shonen Jump announced that the next Saga will be the last one. Each saga has several arcs and the longest saga so far has been this one the Yonko Saga and has been going for just over 5 years, so 5 more years may not be too inaccurate and estimate (this time).

The Wano arc does appear to be wrapping up, we're well into the 1v1's which is usually a sign we're nearing the end so I reckon Wano and by extension the Yonkou saga will finish by the end of the year so we're probably entering the final saga next year.

There aren't as many plot points left as it seems because most of them are the same plot points, they're all tied to the world government and the true world history in some way so they'll all be dealt with at the same time.

The only reliable timeline we have is one of the databooks listed the date they crossed Reverse Mountain and the date the Thousand Sunny was built, I can't remember the exact dates but it was less than 2 months apart, which means that the entire Baroque Works, Skypeia and CP9 sagas all happened within a couple of months.

I can't imagine the stuff before or after that taking much longer so it's probably less than 6 months even for the whole pre-timeskip.

Who's Who is apparently 38 and this was 22 years ago so it probably isn't him unless he looked real bad for a 16 year old.

It could be his father like others have said we know that's a thing, both Spandam and Califa had fathers who were in CP9 before them.

I've had a look at the chapter and episode listed as the reference for this and in the anime yes he definitely draws a picture of a wall and then hides behind it. The manga doesn't specify it just says he was hiding "in the wall".

Either way there was nothing that told us he had turned himself 2-dimentional. Unless we see him do it at a different time and the references themselves were wrong. But I don't remember him doing it.
