The Gorosei all look super cool. I like how mission focused they are. They're not chatting or even naming their attacks like typical anime characters.

I doubt they're all as strong as Kaido but I can see them all being on King's level. They also all probably have strange powers that makes dealing with them tricky.

I'd imagine they are for the sake of raising stakes but storywise I don't think thatd make sense for the elders to be 5 greater than kaidos yet still enable the three great powers system.

apparently we have a 3 week hiatus coming up so I'm expecting this next chapter to be crazy.

I don't see why the elders would come with just 1 admiral and a few vice admirals unless they thought it was enough I mean if so either they are strong enough to do something about it.

The way I see it there are a couple of scenarios.
1.) They are just underestimating Luffy I mean that does happen all the time. Which could very plausible. Would the elders of come with just Kizaru if they were try to attack Wano while Kaido was there.
2.)The elders are actually really strong and the only reason they are not active is they use the marines as their face.


That being said I really like how the giants saved him similar to how he was saved from the bronto back on little garden

What I don't get is having 4 folklore monsters and then a generic "sandwyrm". Is it certain and confirmed that it is not just an issue of translation? I think it could be just as well some serpent-form yokai or dragon creature.

The Sandworm is out of place next to 4 folklore monsters, but I wouldn't call sandworms 'generic'

They are still 5 fictional beasts, I think two are Japanese, two are Chinese, and the sandworm is Western.

Hats off to Lucci who's up against plot-armored chosen one characters that either have genetically gifted powers or literal god fruits and still managing to hold his own with his C-rank Zoan and sheer force of will.

Doubt they'd be that weak if they have managed to still rule the biggest faction in the OP universe for 8 centuries or so.

This Kaido simping is always weird (this is the same guy who had lost and been captured multiple times in the past) like the people who still believe Kaido > Luffy in the current state somehow (aka a literal god reincarnated who made the monster rulers of the world come out of their hidey hole) when somebody like shanks could give kaido a pause alone

And 800 years is a long time. Gorosei probably had to deal with alot of troublemakers on the level of yonkos before.

tbf to Kaido, its sort of implied hes regularly caught because hes trying to get himself killed but the Marines are literally just incapable of doing it, Im sure they havent tried having like, Akainu get up for a try, but Kaido is an actual monster and it doesnt seem like Haki in anything less than Admiral amounts/some of the most powerful offensive DFs have any effect on him.

Mans built different, I felt like it was pretty clear during Wano that he had about half a dozen things stacked against him in his fight vs. Luffy to make it clear that while Luffy won in the end, it wasnt just because Luffy > Kaido in a 1v1. I dont think Kaido can be safely put below Luffy til Luffy addresses the drawbacks to his... Zoan fruit... transformation... that no other Zoan fruit seems to have... (I will die bitter about this)

The Gorosei are meant to be beureaucrats. They were ruling the world government just fine before they were retconned into being super demons. The Gorosei rule through proxy by utilizing the Marines and Cipher Pol. The only reason they chose to act directly now is because Vegapunk is about to redpill the entire world with his forbidden knowledge and they're the only ones immediately available to stop him.

The Gorosei were willing to massacre literally everyone on Ohara because Clover almost said just the name of the Ancient Kingdom. Who knows what Vegapunk is about to say to literally everyone on the planet with a Den Den Mushi? This is a Defcon 1 world ending scenario so they must act now. If it hadn't been for this broadcast I doubt the Gorosei would ever have shown their forms. Even Whitebeard attacking Marineford was not enough.

That is all to say... they don't need to be Kaido level to rule the world. They don't even need to be Shichibukai level. Honestly, they don't even need to be fighters at all but I guess Oda started running out of Villains so here we are...

I agree, although Oda always seemed to leave open the possibility they were fighters due to undead horse guy's sword looking so much like Zoro's.

It’s also a shonen at the end of the day. Doesn’t surprise me at all that the absolute rulers of a world more or less ruled via martial law are strong combatants

Yeah, I think they were always meant to be super strong, that's kind of how shonen works, they were always going to be the ultimate or penultimate big bads. One Piece can't just have 1 big boss, the big boss needs lieutenants so that other Strawhats can deal with them while Luffy focuses on the big bad.

gorosei being insanely powerful ancient dudes isnt a surprise. for me the reveal of the existence of imu was a much larger surprise than seeing the gorosei use their powers.

What was your guys reaction to Imu's first appearance in Chapter 906-9010ish? I wasn't into One Piece back then in 2018.

A lot of people were shocked cause it kind of came out of nowhere and there was a lot of concern that it was basically a kaguya from Naruto move

The Journey is great. Granted, I heard Dressrosa was freaking MISERABLE to read through week-to-week so maybe that soured you.
