The "gaiety" in the amusement park and research institute names instead of cheerful/joyful keeps catching me off guard every time. Maybe because I'm used to the other versions, but it doesn't flow as smoothly and sounds odd.
The wat now
The names of the theme park and research institute are translated as "Gaiety Theme Park" and "Gaiety Research Institute" here.
I was mentioning being unused to it since the word "gaiety" was cheerful/joyful/pleasant in the novel tls & mtls I've read
He keeps one-shotting luffy and gaban one second and getting slammed by hajrudin (hello??? i do Not remember him being this powerful?) like...
Bro really is out of practice or his response speed is just dropping for some reason or other.
Only thing I can say for sure is Imu definitely is going to be in a state after this whole affair even if he does win. To begin with, what was the reason he needed to be careful with his body after leaving the castle? Was he injured or did his body deteriorate after so long and he's hiding with his powers? Or is it another reason?
Either way, owl better have some valuable info
I think they mentioned he has a restriction on when he’s in the “lower world” so that’s part of it. His body isn’t in very good shape.
Oh yeah. Really curious about why that is the case
Watch this arc end with Imu going back to his little hideaway to recover, and Luffy and the others also stretched to their limits.
I simply don't see him being fully beat this early, regardless of whether he's the "final boss" or not. The others seem like they're fair game though.
There also might be something happening with the Rain Goddess too imo... Maybe gain temporary sentinence like someone commented a few chapters ago?
agree with you there. My bet for the "final boss" either be Shanks or Black Beard. Because I have a really bad feeling way before during the pre-time skip arc, that Luffy's gonna fight Shanks for the "King of the Pirate" title and return the hat (since it was a promise). BUT that's just my theory, so yeah.
Yes for the Shanks part. I said this for years.
Everyone keeps saying Shanks is gonna be final boss, but I only see it happening if he is controlled by Imu or smthn. Though i do think he might have a full on spar with Luffy after the big fight as a sort of epilogue to see who's stronger.
Might turn out different if there ends up being an actual race for the final island or something though (which speaking of, we still need to knw wtf roger said to Shanks at the end)
Watch him fall first /and/ hard and end up stressing waiting for the bottom to take a hint, meanwhile the bottom ignores all the signs of falling in love bc that's the understanding they came to initially lmao
Predicting this will end with the Mr. Snake (and maybe the kids too) meeting Taesun in his next reincarnation and introducing themselves to each other
stop thats still so sad, the kids growing up without one of their parents and said parent not remembering his own children :(
It's been fun and all but time to erase their memories asap
