So... Candelle was bedridden for a long time after the Celestial Dragons visited? She married the king right after? And now her daughter is with the Celestial Dragons?
...I don't think Shuri's really the king's daughter, but one of a Celestial Dragon like Bonnie. And the king knew and decided to protect Candela by marrying her.
But did Shuri kill him for keeping the secret? Was she controlled? Or did Shuri make some kind of deal with them to protect the people of her country, Brook included?

"Reuven adopted Shuri. She doesn't look anything like him!"
Y'all, she's like COLLUN. She looks like her mom, but has her daddy's hair texture.
This is especially obvious when she's a little girl and still has short hair. She has her Reuven's cowlicks lol. Anyone with hair like this knows that the longer & heavier your hair gets, the less wild it lays.
Also, while personality isn't genetic Oda emphasizes their likeness as Shuri basically has her daddy's personality. Remember that Reuven is known as the uncouth prince.
It's a really old joke that daughters, especially the eldest & 1st born daughter are basically their father in female form.
This is also why Bonney being a figarland is such a popular theory. Her male form literally looks like Shanks/Shamrock/Garling π³π
"Then why was the Kingdom relieved she looks like Candelle! Isn't that because she's Bonney 2.0 & her biological father is a Holy Knight/Celestial??"
NO, IT'S BECAUSE REUVEN IS CHOPPED AND THIS IS WHAT SHURI WOULD LOOK LIKE IF SHE HAD HIS FACE ASDFGHJKL πππ
That's 100% (I guess 50% technically lol) HIS DNA floating in her veins. Just LOOK at them:
I refuse to believe that Candelle would go from attacking the navy with no questions asked to stressing out about Celestial Dragons to the point that she made herself sick.
Leuven becoming king and Shuri being born right after the WG visit with no clarity on what happened with the Celestial Dragons after is also very sus.
Like, is this another Bonnie situation?
Could Candelle be an ex-slave who escaped the Holy Land? Maybe that's why she is so stressed. I'd even go so far as to say that she could have once been a Celestial Dragon herself.
Why do both Shuri and Leuven have horns and why are Shuri's smaller like is that significant?
Did Imu somehow play a role in Shuri's creation?Was she even conceived naturally or could her different coloured irises actually be more than just heterochromia like are they an indication that she isn't fully human? I don't think there are any other characters in One Piece with different coloured eyes and this comment from Brook is making me wonder if there's something more supernatural going on with her.
And who the fuck are these two:
I presume the big shadow bird is Mars, but who's the other guy? Sommers? Surely not...
UGH I JUST HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING PLEASE ODA DON'T END THE FLASHBACK YET!!!
I usually make these earlier but getting jumped a Trigun fixation (thanks Sol) got me distracted β₯οΉβ₯
Regardless, we lock in! Spoilers below, as always~
Oh Boa our queen how I've missed you~ She would absolutely learn to cook for Luffy, good for her
Ah, Brook was Candelle's apprentice! Cute!
"good manners & how to speak properly" Yeah I don't think anyone's gonna succeed in teaching him that π
Brook please you're killing me here..... Candelle gets it, she's the best.
BROOK PROTESTING THE UNIFORM BC HE IS A FASHIONISTA AND WE LOVE HIM FOR IT!!!!! +Him still wanting to wear a guard's uniform π₯Ή
CANDELLE TUCKING HIM IN NOBODY TOUCH ME πππππ
Do not critique Candelle's style, Brook! She looks excellent and you know it!
Baby Brook I love you but please stop I'm being murdered by second hand embarrassment
SUN π«΅β Can you hear them yet, Brook? Can you hear the drums?
...... I'm sorry huh. A boat full of Celestial Dragons showed up, and all of the sudden Candelle's sick....? That mixed with her calling herself Devoted the other chapter............ I have a really bad feeling about all this π¬
Okay so shortly after the Celestials visit: Leuven got the throne (what happened to the previous ruler?), he married Candelle, and Shuri was born? π€ Those Manmayer Candelle theories are scaring me with how likely they're seeming.
BROOK WOULD LAY DOWN HIS LIFE TO PROTECT HIS PRINCESS/DAUGHTER AND WE LOVE HIM FOR IT πππππππππππ
Shuri being easily won over by candy is so cute, immediately incooperating that into how I write Gunko <3
SHURI LOVES HER PARENTS SO MUCH AND THEY LOVE HER RIGHT BACK OMFG ODA WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT TO DO π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
I'm obsessed with this little rebel song, it's so cute <3 I hope the anime does it justice once we get here! Noting that name, Kamigata, btw
Brook & Shuri have just the cutest dynamic omfg I'm sobbing π
I would kill gods to ensure them a happy ending omfg Oda when I catch you πππππππππππππππππ
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ESPERIA??????? Poison, again?! Can Brook seriously not escape that stuff???
The music fading like that hurts me a bit, and Sun Path Lore just got very interesting about it (why would Atuni ever abandon an island so beloved to her?)
ODA AND HIS DEAD MOMS I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO COMMIT A MASSACRE WHY HER ππ₯ππ₯π₯ππ₯πππ₯ππ₯π₯ππ₯ππ₯π₯ππ₯π
Brook & Shuri sparing together! Does that mean Gunko knows Humming Swordstyle? ππππ Very interesting~
Leuven isn't coping well with anything atm and tbh I don't blame him.
Brook giving up on his pirate dream to stick by his benefactor's side π₯Ί SHURI SAYING SHE WANTS TO GO WITH HIM ππ₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί oh fix it aus save me fix it aus
[spits out cola] WHAT
Okay. Cool. Gunko has future sight. Good to know.
VALID, KING SHIT, WE LOVE TO SEE IT! π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
Brook not even asking any questions, just going along with a smile on his face..... Certainly helps explain his attitude while with the StrawHats π€
FUCK THE WORLD GOVERNMENT, FUCK THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS, FUCK IT ALL!!!! WAR!!!!!!!!
The citizens being worried and terrified about provoking the Government is actually pretty fair, considering the shit they've done......
BROOK'S SONG REFERENCING WANO AND ELBAF AND SAYING THAT SOMEONE WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS FORCE IN THE WORLD π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ I like the bee metaphor, I'm stealing it
THE REBELLION SONG PLAYING OVER BROOK COOKING HIS WAY THROUGH ENEMIES IS SO PEAK βββββββ
The gardens π Ough augh..... When will Brook ever catch a goddamned break
I SAID GIVE THIS MAN A BREAK NOT BREAK HIM WHAT THE FUCK ODA
Who the hell are you?!?!?!! Am I supposed to recognize this guy, because he looks vaguely familiar but I fully cannot place it
MARCUS MARS WHEN I FUCKING CATCH YOU π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
Imu. Imu you are no longer safe because of your pretty face. This means death.
At least Shuri absolutely slays with the wings/horns/tail/glowing eyes look ππ
Oda is a sadist but I know the team needs this break to make every chapter excellent πππππ
Overall thoughts? This was a great chapter! It's nice seeing what went down on Esperia, but there's still more mystery to solve so I'm excited for next!!!!!
