this is not Monkey De Luffy that's the current working idea because there's a lot of really suspicious stuff going on in this chapter so much more than I noticed the first time I read it stuff that just does not happen in one piece and it all begins with the following comment fun fact the monster Trio's combo attack is a reference to the attack they used on a sand lizard in Alabaster that is 100% correct it's so correct that you could practically accuse Oda of plagiarizing himself the art is of course identical and I love this
callback because this is the moment where Luffy Zoro and Sanji got labeled as the monster Trio by fans likely because of a mistranslation in the very early scans of one piece that existed before the official release got to this point as it comes from nami's dialogue afterwards where she says against those three at once that monster never had a chance and to this very day that's why Luffy zaro and Sanji are known as the monster Trio but also that's not the only similarity between these two chapters Luffy zaro and Sanji fought the sand lizard in
chapter 162 which as I mentioned in the last video was the kickoff for Alabaster being titled Adventure in the Kingdom of zand and it also just so happened to feature a plot point of Luffy hallucinating after eating a crazy Cactus now we don't know for sure what's going on with any hallucinations just yet but there's a lot of similarities happening here especially because Oda purposely chose the alabaster crew minus Chopper to use as well and look to be completely open and honest here I feel like I'm being tricked not necessarily that the crew are being
tricked but that odor is doing all of this to trick the reader somehow so let me explain more about my paranoia this chapter contains something that I almost never see in one piece which are blatant errors things do go wrong in one piece from time to time a very famous example is when a chapter was published where Zoro had Luffy's chest Scar and there's a whole section of these errors on the One Piece Wiki but the page mate it is unbelievably short because these errors almost never happen but in this chapter the first error is
that Luffy's weapon changes between panels when he's sitting on top of the defeated kitty cat he very clearly has a sword on his back however when we see his full body shot that sword has now become an Axe and I'm also pretty sure that there was a dialogue eror against the cat Luffy uses gear forth but it's not gear forth it's very clearly just gear third and it's not a mistranslation either the Japanese text says gear fourth the official translation will probably clear up whether this is intentional or not because they have the time delay
advantage of fixing stuff like this and sure I could see this being a simple mistake after gear 5ifth we haven't really needed to use gear forth and whether it was odor or one of the typ Setters look these mistakes can happen the numbers are usually right next to each other that is the second error in a single chapter they're not huge mistakes but this is unusually sloppy work for one piece and it's starting to make me wonder if I'm hallucinating because I'm both seeing and hearing things that are not true hence why I feel like
there is a chance that odor is doing this on purpose to trick the audience and to see if they pick up on these little Clues because another question I have after reading this chapter is where is Luffy Straw Hat it doesn't look like he's pulling a chopper and wearing a helmet over the hat and initially I thought no problem he's probably just wearing it on his back as he often does but in the shot of him attacking the line we see Luffy's back and there is no hat to be found and not only that but
there is no axe or sword to be found there is no weapon on his back at all which is another art error with the straw Hat Luffy could easily be keeping it elsewhere but it's odd to see him without the straw hat visibly on his person and it's a culmination of these little things adding up that make me feel that something isn't quite right here there's too many little questions and I wonder if what we're seeing is still Nami hallucinating or even everyone who hallucinating together having a shared delusion perhaps even including the Giants that
we saw in the village because I know that elbar it was meant to be a wild world to step into but these people are living in a proper surreal fantasy Lego Land so how about this all of this is Loki's doing and one of the straw hats is not who they seem it could be Loki impersonating them and having fun and given that all of these errors so far revolve around Luffy the odd inconsistencies the incorrectly stated attack name and potentially the missing straw hat with all of that in mind mind perhaps the man we're
seeing right now isn't even our captain in this chapter we don't even see Luffy's eyes they're either closed or obscured by the helmet so look I'm not confident enough to call the emergency meeting just yet but I think that we should keep a much closer eye than usual on the next few chapters because I am starting to feel like something is trying to trick me and I don't like it maybe the answer could be something along the lines of Loki having the fa Fable fruit and his powers are capable of bringing old stories and Concepts
to life and even inserting himself into them Charlotte mondor had a similar power with the bookbook fruit where he could trap people within stories but whatever the case our crew have been very laxed with their security if there's one lesson that the straw hat should have learned it's the importance of security and while they have their own dedicated and quite literal surf Shar on the crew you person watching me on the internet do not which is why I've partnered with surf shark VPN a VPN is a tool that encrypts your internet traffic and hides your

and every time we've ever caught a glimpse of this tree it's been so colossal that no frame in media history has been wide enough to capture its full girth so maybe we are in a story a story of Elba from the past which is why the tree we're seeing is smaller but also another thing and I actually think this is more likely but one of the classical depictions of igdrasil does show a massive tree holding up an entire civilization with its thinnest toppest Point almost looking like a completely separate tree so maybe in our absin
in Du stupa we haven't just already made it to Elbo but we have ascended to the top of idrasil and what we're seeing right now is the very peak of that tree a different realm to the lower one and the other half of the straw Hat's going to explore that lower part which we're more familiar with there's so many questions and every time I reread this chapter I only have more questions which is wild because on paper not a lot happens in this chapter my review is mostly focused on outfits but if you look at
the actual drawings and the words on said paper there's a pretty ridiculous amount happening here whether it's intentional or not and another thing that could indicate that we're quite high right now and more ways than one is the frequency in which we're hearing about gods in this chapter we hear both about the ear God and the sun god that second one sounds a bit familiar but to the best of my admittedly low quantity of knowledge as God is the highest point of viasil and home of all of the Gods and such with the Mortal beings
living on a lower plane so this ear God could be one of these residents who who was recently eaten and I can just imagine the political problems this is going to cause on elu any moment now Loki is going to make an unhinged speech claiming they're eating the gods they're eating the cats but obviously we can't ignore that someone in Elbo is using the sun god title and in nor mythology I believe the sun God's name is Saul but I'm very keen to meet whoever this is because I have to imagine that they're dress like
NAA because Dory and broy instantly recognize gear fith Luffy as looking very similar to one of their deities and before we move on just another thing I've seen a lot of people pointing out that Sanji is using IF fre jump while Luffy and Zoro are being a bit more basic and they're using it as Sanji slander to say that he has to go all out just to reach the base of Luffy and Zoro I don't know why we're like this as a fan base but if you've had this thought what you need to do right
you need to get off Twitter or Reddit and then we go outside and remember that Nami was in danger meaning that Sanji isn't messing around here Luffy and Zoro are confident in what they need to use to bring down a lion but Sanji is very No Nonsense when it comes to women he's even dressed like a knight in shining armor if a woman is in trouble there is no room for error and that's why Sanji will go straight for the overkill did anyone else notice that the giant bees were roughly the same size in the
panel with the locals and the panel with nami I don't think we are in a village with Giants or at least not giant Giants if they're not giant Giants what would you even call them smallant humans really but this is another odd thing and I think that no matter what Elbo it's going to be a very aesthetically Tripp AR because Oda he's already quite loose when it comes to consistent sizing and combining that with the idea of being on a giant Island results in panels like this where the bees do look kind of the same
size compared to the Giants as they did in the panel with army my initial answer to this is perspective in the panel with the Giants the bees are way in the foreground whereas the Giants they're way further into the background that's making the giants look smaller but then again the Giants they also make a big deal out of these bees but if they were actual Biz to them then you wouldn't really notice right I feel like if a bee fell from the sky in front of me I don't think I'd even register it and I
should also say the big Stein castle has not earned its name it looks far less than big because the whole thing seems to be proportion to humans there's no way that Giants are fitting inside of this thing they can barely get that cat in there so I think this could be ER screwing with us on purpose setting up for a joke that the big Stein castle is actually the smallest building in the village but the Giants also mentioned the ear God and just how enormous it is which makes it sound like the ear God is
even bigger than the Giants so it's really difficult to get a proper sense of scale right now which I suspect is a combination of trippy perspective and Oda deliberately messing with us as I keep saying something weird is happening here none of what we're seeing is natural and the answers will come eventually maybe you did not think of mous man when you saw Zar this chapter who thinks of mous man in general how dare you accuse me of not thinking about mous man if I wasn't thinking about him then how did my brain message my
body to write his name in the review everyone thinks about mous man this this is a you problem the monster Trio deserve to be on the thumbnail together we got a combo attack like this 600 chapters before why leave my man Sanji out so a couple of reasons one is that art costs money meaning that more art costs more money the second is that my artist was actually drawing this the day before a wedding where she was the maid of honor so we didn't really have a lot of time I honestly feel lucky I got
a thumbnail at all and thirdly Sanji is in the thumbnail if you look very closely I gave zorus sanji's outfit because I really didn't like the look of zor all that much so I stole sanji's clothing and put it to good use I'm calling it now the reason there's a bunch of girls disappearing in wano is due to MOS building a harm I mean that would be the absolutely kuki OD move and someone replied to this comment saying MOS is 8 years old this joke is deeply weird and I just want to say that this
isn't necessarily a joke because what happened with mosque's father is infinitely weirder when we were hearing about Odin's history Odin stated that he started roaming theed light district and frequenting the quote pleasure Halls when he was 6 years old and then of course it was at the age of 15 that he built his harm which led to a full scale conflict known as the harm revolt and involved a lot of upset husbands so I agree it is weird but it's canonically weird and we should also point out that it's not just women being kidnapped we're
also missing motomo so if this is happening then it's a Harum of very diverse tastes Odis keeping the best outfits for last with Brooke Frankie and Robin mate he always does Brooke and Frankie and particular always look amazing because Oda has full permission to do something weird for the sake of weird with a cyborg and a skeleton we better to see Frankie interact with the Lego building in some way this powerful technology could be the next big breakthrough for the straw hats all right so here's my thinking that exact sentence minus all the Lego is
exactly what we were saying about Frankie on aad island the idea is that he was going to come away from this island with a pow some new technology to incorporate into himself into Frankie Shogun and the Thousand Sunny maybe even all three and then what happened was was not that which is why the Lego actually kind of makes a stupid amount of sense if Frankie did Come Away with something it wouldn't be the straightforward thing because it is one piece why adopts the 500 plus year into the Future Super Tech when there's Lego lying around
on the floor it's the more fun solution and doo will always take the path that is the most fun please bring back Bingo for elbaf we've already got one elbaff is currently part of our 2024 Bing card which were predictions I took from all of you at the beginning of the year and here's where we currently stand we've got gotten six correct and are currently threatening a bing however it's reliant on Vivy rejoining the crew which I'm not so sure about at this stage don't think we have time and we're probably locked out of a
couple of other options as well this late into the year and more importantly this early into a brand new arc so I don't see Shanks versus Blackbeard happening for example and kizaru's Redemption opportunity that is probably long gone and as for Dragon doing something well that was always a long shot but there is still plenty of potential stuff to tick off as we dive into Elbo do you think we will have new bounty IES H yes and no usually new bounties happen at the end of ox or in the in between sections of ox and
after the egad incident I definitely think that the straw hats have earned a bounty increase I just don't know how you get away with keeping Luffy at 3 billion after that as well as the rest of the crew because they've now caused one of the single worst incidents in World Government history but my thinking is that we might skip those bounties for now because we're heading to an isolated island and maybe once we get off Elbo we'll learn what Egghead did to the value of the crew which I think would hit a bit harder because
it's been 2 years but Luffy's three billion Berry Bounty still seems way too recent for me and say we're on elb barff for another 2 years and that'll make it four years between you bounties and it'll just smack that that that little bit more good that's sometimes I'm not good with words and also that could potentially be Luffy's final Bounty increase going into laugh tale and such and it also gives those around him more time to build up their notoriety if needed Luffy currently has the lowest Bounty of the modern four Emperors and I think
that Oda would prefer to stay that way in order to keep Luffy in that Underdog position and at this stage for a bounty increase to actually mean anything we're looking at big big numbers there's not a lot of places to go from 3 billion and I reckon that we would be looking at crashing that 5 billion Mark and really encroaching on the numbers of Roger and Whitebeard but also Luffy can't just leave everyone else in the dust this time on elbaff this Gap with us from the world could give blackbeards more time to build himself
up buggy and cross Guild can still climb higher with their opposing bounty system and maybe even Shanks this is looking way too far ahead right now but we could leave Elbo get a new set of bounties and discover that say Blackbeard is now the highest valued Emperor for some incredibly shocking incident that took place while we were playing with Lego the other interesting thing to figure out will be whether or not Elbo adopts an act system like Warner but also like egad Island Egghead wasn't broken into literal acts like wner but there was a very
distinct act one and act two which were day one and day two with that overnight time skip in between whilst we spent time elsewhere in the the world with the Gars and the sbos and the shank cisms so I guess there is also a possibility that Oda incorporates the rest of the world into the Alba Ark because even outside of that time skip Egghead was a very Global Affair I'm not too sure about that though something like that worked really well for Egghead Island because it was a nexar that was building up to one big
Global Communication so it made a lot of sense to keep the rest of the world involved at every step but Elbo I guess it's too early to judge but I would assume it's more like wano an isolated island with its own thing going on and constantly cutting back to the outside world might ultimately harm that idea so for the foreseeable future I think that we should be looking exclusively at Elbo however etra Oda mate you are more than free to surprise me with whatever the crap you want to do anywhere else as well
