Luffy's Awakening - The Ability to Stretch Time and Space

For Luffy’s Awakening I like the idea of him stretching, instead of his body, the space (and time?) around him. So imagine he winds up a Gomu Gomu Pistol, but he also stretches the space between him and his opponent to be miles long so he’s just a speck in the distance, and also the space his arm occupies so that his fist is oceans away.

And then all at once he collapses it all down, so crack and he’s back in your face and crack his fist is slamming into you. So pretty much it would be a way for him to punch someone really, really hard. Like imagine to finish off Kaido, Luffy stretches his fist all the way back to East Blue with this technique before launching him to the freaking moon to chill with Enel.

It could also get interesting if he stretches time similarly to get like a sonic boom effect on his punches. Might be hard to represent visually but I think it could be pretty cool. I personally don’t love the “everything is a bouncy house” concept of his awakening, although it does fit the goofy theme. What do you think?

Analyzing all the Possible Traitors of Wano

I’m gonna try to keep this simple and straight to the point. Hopefully this helps those with doubts regarding the traitor.

Kinemon (cleared): as the leader of the Scabbards and probably Oden’s most trusted, he has had alone time with Momonosuke in order to find allies. If he was the traitor, he could’ve betrayed Momonosuke at any time and gave him up, yet he tries his absolute best to rally forces and fight against Kaido.

Kawamatsu (cleared): basically the same reason as Kinemon, he’s had lots of time with Hiyori. Even after capture, he didn’t tell Kaido and his men that Hiyori was alive and well.

Ashura Doji (cleared): in the latest chapter, we see that he was back-stabbed by the traitor (most likely).

Denjiro (cleared): he isn’t even in the present story and is no where to be seen, therefore he couldn’t have been the one to betray the Straw Hats and the alliance. Unless Oda pulls something random or completely out of the blue, then Denjiro will stay cleared for now.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi (cleared): because of what happened on Zou. If they were working with Kaido and Orochi, they wouldn’t have fought with their lives on the line to save Raizo.

Kiku (cleared): some people believe its Kiku, but believe it or not she has a perfect alibi. Kinemon, Raizo, Kanjuro and Momonosuke left Wano to find Zou, but along the way they encountered a shipwreck and drifted apart. However, Jack went to Zou to specifically ask for Raizo and no one else. Kiku has no way to know they shipwrecked and that Raizo was the only one to have made it to Zou.

OTsuru (cleared): after her cameo in the latest chapter, some people are bringing her up in the conversation. She has the exact same alibi as Kiku mentioned above, plus the fact that she would have no idea where the Sunny was hidden. The location of the Sunny isn’t and shouldn’t be public knowledge among the alliance, which means only those in the Scabbards and Straw Hats themselves should know.

Shinobu (cleared): pretty self-explanatory after the latest chapter.

Kanjuro (suspicious): most people are hopping on Kanjuro and I agree with all the reasons it could be him. He lacks a definitive alibi.

Furthermore in the latest chapter something caught my attention. In the page where Kaido reveals that there might be a traitor among Odens ranks. We have an image of Oden and his Scabbards facing Kaido with surprise. But there is ONE PERSON that seems to not face Kaido. That one person is Kanjuro. Also he would be the only one to know that Raizo was on Zou.

Raizo (suspicious): there are reasons why I don’t think he’s clear after the events of Zou.

Jack was 100% certain that Raizo was on Zou without even considering the possibility that he’s gone. This would mean the information had to have come straight from the source. Jack would also need a Vivre card to find Zou and if it turns out Raizo is the traitor, then that explains why Jack was so certain he was there. Conveniently, Raizo was locked up in the Poneglyph room and could very well be the reason why he called Jack in the first place. The Vivre Card could’ve been given to the Beast Pirates before the time jump. Also as a ninja, it wouldn’t be hard for him to relay information and be a spy.

Eiichiro Oda’s purpose in showing Toki’s wound

This is more of an analysis than theory really, since there isn’t much to base off of. In the most recent chapter we see that Lady Toki was shot through the leg with an arrow which left a very distinct and notable scar. Now, at first glance it was just a way to get Oden enraged so he would charge to the castle, but I think that would’ve happened regardless of Toki’s scar.



Simply knowing his family was attacked and Toki was hurt in the process would’ve sufficed. I think Oda deliberately left this scar on Toki for the purpose of revealing her later on in the story. The upper thigh is a very convenient way for the women of Wano attire to conceal this scar, unlike Nami who wears shorts all the time. Oda wouldn’t randomly give such a scar to a character who is already dead and about to die in the flashback. After all, scars have their importance and backstory in One Piece because many notable characters have distinct scars. Luffy, Zoro, Kaido, Shanks, Whitebeard etc. People have been speculating that the Hiyori we’ve seen so far is actually Toki who jumped 20 years and the real one is being kept hidden. I’m not really sure about that but the reveal of the scar could lead to that being true. This arrow to the leg mark will surely help identify the true identity of Hiyori.
