pretty good chapter. very excited to see robin finally get her chance to defend saul and the books of ohara. i think the gods knights immortality is due to their actual bodies not being there.

that portal that shows up makes me think that what we think is the real body is just a clone of sorts. if imu disables the power however they become vulnerable again.

i would not be surprised if gods knights have a weaker version of this than the gorosei and that it might actually be able to be disabled by other people instead of just imu also i need brook to face gunko now

I was hoping Nami had incorporated the bubbles into her Clima Tact, but I guess she, Usopp, and Lilith haven't had the time to make that work yet.

my hope is that they all get some form of upgrades from lilith that allows them to do actual damage to the gods knights. between them and the seraphim things are not looking good for anyone not named luffy ,sanji or zoro and given the fact that almost every other straw hat aside from jinbei,brook and robin have some form of technological aspect to their fighting i dont see why we cant see some upgraded weapons and rumble balls for chopper.

If they don’t get it from Lilith, then I’m willing to bet they get it at Laugh Tale.

But at the current moment, let’s hope the people you mentioned have something up their sleeve, because the monsters in the lineup are occupied at the moment, and the captain is dead set on something and is using Luffy Logic to make it happen, so Luffy probably isn’t showing up to punch this problem anytime soon.
 
I haven't read older chapters but couldsn't Franky perhaps imbue his weapons with Haki to give them some extra punch? I mean the big old robot during the Vegapunk arc had some massive amount of Haki stored to punch that one elder really hard

He could the same way Zoro does it to his swords and the Kuja do to arrows.

Yeah that was the angle I was going for. The first time it was shown were the Kuja arrows so I thought Franky might do that too at one point.

Also it seems the WG is really keen on keeping all the knowledge under lock and key. Must be something really harmful in those books

Please understand, Imu's embarrassing moments (such as getting cucked by Joy Boy) must not get out to the public. Laughter hurts his feelings.

There's definitely nothing that useful in Ohara's library, or someone would have found it by now.

I don't believe there's any mcguffin ĥidden there, and that its value is more abstract. For Robin, its the emotional connection to her mother and the legacy of her people. To Elbaf, its likely just "knowledge is its own reward."

If that was the case, then why did the WG make a big deal of Ohara researching what they considered forbidden information, along with Oda making a big deal of Clover being killed JUST before he said the name of the great kingdom, which he claimed was a thing where the very name was something that could make the WG shit bricks? Also, along with the fact that they're scattered around the world, it's been mentioned several times that the poneglyphs were written in a language that almost nobody can interpret, and Robin was hounded because she's one of the few who can, which is why the WG put a huge bounty on her. Which explains why nobody else has found out what Ohara was looking for.

As for Ohara itself, it was assumed for ages that the library and its contents were completely destroyed, so there'd be nothing to find. The whole thing about Ohara is just like The One Piece and the treasure of Mary Goeis: it's not what it is, it's what somebody can do with it...which is practically what a MacGuffin is.

And the only reason why we don't know what exactly it is in Ohara's library that is supposed to be found is because we have yet to figure out how Luffy will passively be at the center of that which is to be found because he will never give enough of a shit about it to go along with somebody else's plan if it doesn't help him and what he wants to do.

That's probably what it is on a fundamental level. But again, there's still the fact the WG makes a big deal of going after it, along with things like it, to the point where the Gorosei and now the God's Knights go to great lengths to ensure total destruction. And again, it's all about what can and would be done with what is possessed that creates the value. Assuming that one cares enough about it.

i always assumed the library in ohara just had books that helped teach people how to translate poneglyphs which is why they had to get destroyed. look at how much robin has learned simply because she can read poneglyphs there was even that note from joy boy. cant have even more people learning things and gaining a desire to look into history. its all about suppressing as much information about the past as humanly possible.

its why i fully expect something to happen right before luffy makes it to laugh tale to try and stop him. maybe a showdown with all the admirals or something similar

Sounds about right.

As for just before Laugh Tale, I’m betting Luffy will face Shanks, Blackbeard, or both. The admirals will have to wait until we have the “final war” in earnest, and even then Luffy is only gunning for Akainu.

I guess I should phrase it differently. We're not going to get any new or additional information from the library. We just got a huge infodump from Vegapunk at the end of his arc, and he would've had access to the contents of the library (as well as the ability to decipher ponyglyphs). Likely the next big lore dump will happen when they reach Lodestar island and find some more ponyglyphs.

Given that Clover was active as a pirate and getting arrested pre-Laugh Tale Discovery, I presume it is just a ton of books of random shit as well as the poneglyph.
