Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 957: Ultimate

[God_Usopun]

Why were they all on that Island anyway. We got a CD the strongest pirate at the time, and the strongest rookie

 

[Trafalgar Law]

Lucky Roo was also hyped alongside with Yasoop and Ben.
Yasoop might the world's best snipper lol ! Chapter also indicate that top 3 of redhair pirates have bounty higher that other YC.
I guess it's around 1.5 B to 2.5 B

 

[Fire Tiger]

Wasn't Beehive Island the place where the Davy Back Fight was first invented? Maybe Rocks D. Xebec assembled his infamous and powerful crew through Davy Back Fights. It would explain why the harmony of the crew was so screwed up that they wanted to kill each other.

 

[Pepper]

The fact that Captain John, one of the zombies back in Thriller Bark, was a member of the Rocks Pirates is just agh, like I can't even put into words how much I like this. I swear TB as an arc has so many details that get carried later on the series

 

[Waindo]

@Salah Eddine pointed out that BB's ship is called the Saber of Xebec :lazysmplz:

Wow didnt know that. My first thought today after reading the chapter was that BB is connected to Xebec in some way!

Funny how Oda just recently said that he plans to end the manga within 5 years. He definitely screwed himself there, he made too many epic characters, no way that he is ending this for like 7-10 years more. At least 5 more arcs after Wano to wrap everything up.

 

[Nessos]

I mean...
Ok bear with this thought process...
So Roger's was going for the end and found Rafael *cough god valley cough* but because he got to the end without the pieces he didn't know what he found, other than a fight with the strongest pirate crews of the time. Garp was there too and what was he doing there if not with the Celestial Dragons. He teamed up with Rogers to protect not just the CD, there had to be a greater reason. Soooo Garp learns part of the truth of the world, maybe Rogers fills him in on the rest before execution since he's a fellow D. Which let's math a bit Dragon a teenager? Is Dragon told a bit or the Rocks fight? Learns to hate CD more and revolutionary army idea starts forming (I mean I'm making Dragon pretty old now, but...) with knowledge of the world but not a complete knowledge.

....and that's where I'm at ?

I would say you mixed the time order.
God Valley accident -> Roger returned to EB -> Roger found Laugh Tale

So between the God Valley accident and Roger found ~15-20 years have past.

Yeah 5 years and now we are already at year 22

Ah but we know Roger tried going through quite a few times. It's possible this incident sparked his quest.

Its possible that the missing Road Poneglyph is located at Gods Valley. But that this Island was taken over by the Celestial Dragon.

Xebecs goal was to become the King of the World and it is indicated that He expected that needs to find Laugh Tale to accomplish that goal (hinted by BM thinking that way).
This would explain why Xebec attacked a place ruled by the Celestial Dragons.

 

[Ranger]

Shanks did it in 6 years
BB got one year
Luffy Bounty froze for 2 years so he technically did it in less than a year

Well his bounty froze but his progress increased so it made up for it once they raised it hehe

What’s the laugh?

Plot twist: Rocks challenged Imu to a battle about the title "King of the World"

The Tale is missing
"Laugh Tale" is the official romanisation of the place which was called "Raftel" all the time^^

The most interisting Part about Xebec is actually that Sengoku didn't know if he is still alive or not.

Btw for everyone who is still confused about what happened when.
I tried to reconstruct the time order of the Events happened between Gods Valley accident and the start of current plot.

Questions & Mysteries - Time order of Events happened in the past

I think with the huge load of information we got in chapter 957 we are able to order the events of the past. Gods Valley accident aftermath Roger returned to EB Whiteboard found the WBP with the 16 Divisions (with Oden as 2nd Division Commander) Similiar to Whitebeard Shiki build up his Fleet...

I get the feeling the Shakky is the Silver Axe.

Still it's a few months

 

[YushiroAizen]

Strongest pirate alliance with strongest marine to beat some ruckus..

 

[Shottie]

? i just realized how funny it would have been seeing Big Mom and Whitebeard doing Davy back fights and losing and becoming part of a crew with a captain like Foxy. like... if it's like that i would truely die of laughter Oda.

I would imagine Rocks Davy Back fights to be a bit more violent than Foxy's, but the one thing I'm sure about is that the Davy Back fight to win Big Mon would definitely not be an eating contest. Is impossible for Big Mom to lose that.

? she had to chase a pirate!

I got the same feeling

 

[WingedClover]

Did anyone else notice that Rocks had a fuse on the left side of the panel and smoke on the right side? I think Xebec is going to be another Blackbeard analogue like Thatch, Newgate and Teach. Oda is really cutting up his favorite pirate into OCs (not that I complain, happy to be a history nerd).
