Dragon, Garp, Ryokugyu — May 2018
Is the Reverie About to Explode Into an All-Out War?
Chapter 905 didn’t move the Straw Hats forward at all.
Instead, it shifted the entire camera to the world’s power structure.
Are we watching calm before the storm — or the moment it finally breaks?
New Weapons, New Marineford, and the Navy’s Presence
594: Anonymous Pirate
Maybe they built some weapon even stronger than the Pacifista.
？？？
“It’s been a long journey.”
Kizaru
“Yeah, it has.”
“That old man Vegapunk…”
“Well, you can’t exactly see him,
so…”
“But he’s finished
something insane.”
？？？
“Oh…
So what you’re saying is…?”

T-Bone showing up for the first time in 10 years lol
Dude was alive this whole time?
297: Anonymous Pirate
Did T-Bone Captain get promoted?
He’s talking directly with Akainu.
309: Anonymous Pirate
>>297
He’s wearing a coat, so maybe he’s a general-level officer?
316: Anonymous Pirate
>>309
You can wear a coat from officer rank, and he wore one even as a captain.
124: Anonymous Pirate
New Marineford feels kinda weak.
The old one had way more presence.
128: Anonymous Pirate
>>124
Yeah, the entrance is just right there from the island cliffs.
Feels rushed as hell.
Garp, Dragon, and Family Ties at the Reverie
16: Anonymous Pirate
Garp stepped down from Vice Admiral, so he probably can’t attend the Reverie.
Not like he’d care about some king meeting anyway.
19: Anonymous Pirate
>>16
Sengoku stepped down as Fleet Admiral, but Garp is still an active Vice Admiral.
Seems like he kept the title but cut back on actual work.
18: Anonymous Pirate
If Dragon goes wild at the Reverie, we might finally get fight scenes.
I’m hyped as hell.
94: Anonymous Pirate
>>18
Might even get some Garp–Dragon father-son comedy too.
22: Anonymous Pirate
Does Garp even know Luffy saved Fishman Island?
28: Anonymous Pirate
>>22
He probably knows Luffy claimed it as his territory.
79: Anonymous Pirate
Garp calling the Celestial Dragons “trash” had me dying lol
421: Anonymous Pirate
Does Garp have connections or something?
No way Dragon’s wife was a Celestial Dragon… right? Nah, no way.
427: Anonymous Pirate
>>421
He’s a legendary Marine hero, so he probably has tons of ties with normal nobles.
Even Luffy has connections with royalty.
Sterry might be trying to cozy up to nobles so he can someday meet the World Nobles.
Dragon, Sabo, and the Revolutionary Army
89: Anonymous Pirate
Looks like Dragon and Karasu went too, not just Sabo?
116: Anonymous Pirate
Morgans said Dragon and Sabo are from Goa Kingdom,
but does the public already know Sabo was born a noble?
118: Anonymous Pirate
>>116
Probably just guessing based on the “three brothers drinking sake” story.
138: Anonymous Pirate
So does that mean giants live inside the Red Line?
673: Anonymous Pirate
>>138
That Revolutionary Army guy from last week is probably burrowing underground with his ability.
138: Anonymous Pirate
So there are giants living inside the Red Line?
Ryokugyu Theories and Devil Fruit Madness
25: Anonymous Pirate
Didn’t Oda say in an SBS that Ryokugyu would be super cool, so look forward to him?
33: Anonymous Pirate
>>25
Probably not the kind of “cool” that girls scream over though.
92: Anonymous Pirate
This basically confirms the Kaze-Kaze fruit, right?
489: Anonymous Pirate
Ryokugyu’s ability ideas:
- Based on the movie he’s modeled after, he uses a bamboo sword → Paramecia Take-Take (Bamboo)
- If he’s skinny, maybe Paramecia Koke-Koke (Moss)
Both are green and can photosynthesize.
426: Anonymous Pirate
Three years without eating = photosynthesis.
He’s obviously some Mori-Mori no Mi plant man.
188: Anonymous Pirate
Sterry’s intuition is sharp.
Even sensing discomfort from the wind is creepy.
Kings, Queens, and Political Tension
83: Anonymous Pirate
I’m looking forward to Vivi vs Shirahoshi main-wife wars.
197: Anonymous Pirate
I wanna see Vivi, Shirahoshi, and Rebecca together already.
125: Anonymous Pirate
So far Sterry doesn’t seem THAT trash.
Yeah, he looks down on commoners, but his scenes with Sabo make him kinda hard to hate.
121: Anonymous Pirate
Sterry’s face hasn’t changed at all lol
Ugly as hell.
But his silhouette looks cool, so you think he’s handsome at first.
424: Anonymous Pirate
Sterry saying “I wanna be a Celestial Dragon!”
He’s totally gonna piss one off and get punished,
then someone saves him or something.
The World Government and “Stability”
218: Anonymous Pirate
Akainu is getting completely disrespected now.
377: Anonymous Pirate
The Marines are basically all men at the top.
Tsuru is the only woman who made it to Vice Admiral.
Wonder how high Hina climbed after that.
396: Anonymous Pirate
Akainu’s turned into middle management,
the Five Elders act surprisingly reasonable,
and honestly if the Celestial Dragons disappeared,
the world would be governed pretty well.
398: Anonymous Pirate
>>396
But if you look at Ohara’s flashback, Akainu and the Five Elders are Robin’s sworn enemies.
For how worried Aokiji was, things didn’t really change after Akainu became Fleet Admiral.
Fujitora does whatever the hell he wants too.
422: Anonymous Pirate
Morgans just went to the tea party and now he’s covering the Reverie too.
No joke, isn’t that insane?
Dude has top-tier influence and is way too active.
462: Anonymous Pirate
>>422
If he wasn’t active, he couldn’t run a newspaper company.
463: Anonymous Pirate
Honestly, a newspaper CEO NOT covering the Reverie would be a bigger problem.
100: Anonymous Pirate
>>86
The government wouldn’t let go of Weevil, who’s said to be as strong as young Whitebeard,
or Buggy, who’s treated like a legendary figure in-universe.
86: Anonymous Pirate
One guy can stall a Yonko…
Would the government really let go of Mihawk, who can at least hold back Shanks?
Also, Sabo’s group is infiltrating, but wouldn’t Garp or Fujitora sense Sabo’s “voice”?
👉 Why Japanese Fans Read It This Way
Japanese readers aren’t reacting to hype or fights here.
They’re dissecting systems: rank structures, political logic, and who actually holds power.
The tension comes from institutional cracks, not punches.
👉 When the Real Endgame Isn’t Pirates — It’s Who Governs the World
Chapter 905 quietly reframes One Piece’s endgame.
If the Celestial Dragons fall, the world might actually stabilize — and that irony scares readers more than war.
This isn’t about pirates anymore. It’s about governance.
