#will of d

Thanks for taking requests and stuff, I love your writing!! (Especially the recent punch, and Shamrock's quiet but Very Loud defense. Magic.)

Signed ⚜️

Shamrock with a D would absolutely be fun. Having them connected to a famous D family would’ve had me going off the rails. But I did come up with a scene. A sample 🤌🏽

Perhaps once I finish with these other Shamrock stories I can come back to this idea.

And thank you for the kind words! You are very sweet!

Will of Denying Imu’s Domination?

Will of Determination?

Will of Defence?

Will of Defiance?

Monkey D. is a stupid person but you can't be sure whether it's true or not

Gol D. is where the heart is used more than the brain

Portgas D. Is being the most seductive/teaser person ever existed but also not realizing it, Intentionally or not

Marshal D. Is having the ability to be patient as long as possible for something

Trafalgar D. Is always getting into trouble and coming out of it with a really annoying person or dead

Jaguar D. Is having emotional intelligence that very rare in this world.

Nefertari D. Is always trying the best but always succeeding or ending in an unexpected way

Rocks D. Is getting misunderstood that makes you a leader.

Does anyone think that the owl (Biblo)

might somehow be, or be connected to

Professor Clou D. Clover?

OR, kinda seems to have a passing semblance to

Ange? (just might be glasses / teacher / librarian / stereotypical bias.

Also, love to see Lilith's Vegapunk brain reminder (and previously, with Franky power-ups)...

BUT, Oda always introduces kickass female characters, and then nerfs them with domesticity.

I am hoping that both Lilith and Bonney get to contribute. Remember Lilith's introduction and impulsiveness?

(chapter 1162) Of course, she was shown to be a contradictory sweetie who mourned the loss of the other satellites, and being over the top was played effectively for laughs, but she definitely was a loose canon, befitting the 'evil' satellite title.

BUT, for sure, she's not in Imu's class (but does have Vegapunk's genius / is Vegapunk). Therefore, I hope that Oda doesn't just token hand-wave towards that situation. He's set it up. Exploit it, lad (or lass). Let Lilith shine. She's hilarious.

Bonney couldn't age-regress Saturn, but she could do this

to Saturn. True, with Luffy's help, but she does have the ability to embody Nika. Again, she's in no way a match for Imu, but she did (help) take out a member of the gorosei, and has always

been clever with her devil fruit. Also, where's Kuma? Just a thought, if Bonney can age-express the Elbaph kids to adults, that would be an extra army of giants who might have more power against Killingham's power, and the God's Knights in general.

While we're talking about cuties, how about this one? (below)

Ragnir seems to have some past connection to Imu, as does Loki's zoan form. Ragnir's not having any of it.

Don't believe the hype, but the God's Knights (or Killingham) seem to think that Gunko might've kicked the bucket:

I'll put the whole page in (above), because there are a few things I want to mention. Brook and Shuri / Gunko need to have a reunion (will she be her actual age?), so I don't think she's dead.

Sommers mentions that Imu's body is not meant to be out and about in the wider world. Very interesting, and -- not least of all, at all, Killingham has summoned this:

The God of Rain, "What I find most scary", Dream demon, Zaza. We're told at the beginning of the chapter that Zaza is an onomatopoeia for the sound of heavy, constant rain.

Zaza is brilliant, isn't she/it/they? And I love that the God's Knights (and Celestial Dragons) have their very own children's fears, as outlined by Rosinante when talking to Law about

about the Will of D, and the warning that holders of that initial bring to the Celestial Dragons (including the God's knights). And how the threat of the Will of D. is used to make children behave.

So, Zaza is maybe the more authentic bogey-being, born from Killingham's fears (although, I would have liked to have seen what his dream/nightmare image of those who hold the intial D might have been), and I can therefore forgive Zaza's sudden appearance and explanation (below)

keeping this childhood fear/manifestation in mind, and also because their design is so cool! Also, new thought, you know who lived above the clouds and who might fear/have feared such a deluge of rain? Perhaps,

Lunarians? Perhaps King is aptly named (I know it's not his birth name). And perhaps the mother flame sought is to replace/replicate that which was lost during a previous Zaza attack (or even of seas rising?) if it’s related to the flames Lunarians have on their beings. Just a digression. That much rain also brings about the need for Noah's ark, right?

Current known count of the holders of the Will of D on Elbaph Island:

2; Jaguar D. Saul, Monkey D. Luffy, and possibly Clou D. Clover if he is somehow embodied in Biblo?!? (just a long shot). Current number of Nika: 2? If Zaza strikes the fear of God into the God's Knights, what might some Ds thrown into the mix do to them, and then a D who is also Nika? Honestly, Zaza they brought upon themselves, but all their fears are ready to 'bring about a storm' (I hope).

Special shout outs, Zoro and Sanji passing each other, with complete trust in each other, living up to being the wings of the Pirate King, yada, yada, yada.

And, Sommers is such a revolting character, but he's also funny a lot of the time (he's not forgiven, though). Love his black 'omen/maki' halo hovering overhead while he declares how great he is (below).

Super Summers it is! Hubris before the fall. His thorns were rolling out behind him in another scene.

(Village scenes with Dr Chopper, and Gerd getting her fingers reattached, and Rodo simping, etc., also good).

Am also definitely agreeing with the folks drawing comparisons between the manifestation of Moria's powers, and the demonic bullets/explosions Imu sends out, although a different end result.

imagine being Roger & Garp in the middle of an intense Haki fight and suddenly a baby just fucking manifests out of the sparks (Roger & Rayleigh are buffering while Garp is not that surprised tbh)

imagine being poor Crocodile & Dragon after falling into the sea mid-argument, only to wash onto the shore with +1 giggling baby emitting sunshine vibes while the Ocean laughs her ass off through Voice (Dragon, like his dad, is not surprised. Croco's going to kill someone)

SBS Vol. 113

Chapter 908

On Wano, we had Kaido, the azure dragon, ruling over it as it's tyrant dictator and was opposed by Kozuki Oden. In the present day, Oden's son ate an artificial version of the dragon fruit so now the dragon is the protector of Wano instead of it's tyrant. Then we have Yamato, who is Kaido's child but they take after Oden and follow in his footsteps.

I believe Oda might be doing something similar with Shanks and Blackbeard.

I strongly believe that BB is the descendant of someone who was an ally to Joyboy, if not, a descendant of Joy Boy himself. He is someone whom you would expect to be the chosen one, the bringer of Dawn. However, he will be a bringer of chaos and darkness instead. He will bring down the CD's and WG but not necessarily replace it with a system that will benefit everyone. A tyrant will replace another tyrant.

OTOH, Shanks is the son of a Celestial Dragon, a Holy Knight. However, every fiber of his being goes against what the CD's stand for. Shanks does not care what others think of him. He does not care if people laugh him. He does not lord over his status. He is willing to have a bunch of weak pirates make up his fleet. He is willing to sacrifice his arm to protect a little boy who ate an all important devil fruit.

So Shanks, the son of a CD, will help fulfill the dreams of the CD's greatest enemy while BB will end up becoming the embodiment of everything that Joyboy, Roger and Luffy are all against.

And we see this similar ironic role reversals everywhere: Luffy is the grandson of Garp but he willingly became a pirate instead. Dragon is a Revolutionary.
