There's a reason you aren't a writer. or an illustrator. or widely successful at both. The fact any of us can try deciding what's possible or not possible in this entirely fantastical world is due to the incredibly vivid imagination of Oda sensei. it permeates our own.

IT DOES NOT WORK THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

your ideas and your personal head canon mean jack shit. It isn't and never will be your story. All you should desire from the story, is for it to be told. and if you choose to listen then congrats! you're along for the ride. But a lot of people can't seem to enjoy decade defining moments because of their own expectations, which were propped up by some idiot on youtube.

I promise if we all consumed this story in isolation, half of you complaining would have a better time overall if you stopped letting other people's opinions hold so much sway over your own. let me say this again. Most people theorizing things HAVE NO IDEA WTF THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. there now exists a whole economy made off just discussing one piece. people for that reason alone will propagate bullshit.

We've come so far from luffy setting out in a damn barrel. None of us would have ever pictured this adventure turning into any of this. NONE OF US. and yet now, because of the foundation laid by the genius Oda... People are jumping forward into radical expectations of their own. some of you need to hear this. you're not creative or imaginative. you are not some visionary savant. you're just really bad at putting pieces that are already on the board together. and that's okay.

Please get out of your heads, off of youtube, and go outside.

(edit: einstein said two things are endless. the universe and human stupidity. and he's not sure about the first. the internet really takes that shit to ten. I'm peacing out from this post but fr. something a lot of you seem to lack is discerning the nuance in arguments. lots of black and white thinking. "so everybody with a theory is dumb!!!" of course not. "ur complaining about complaining!" i thought all this was to have an actual back and forth. a discourse? y'all showing me more and more y'all just like being reactionary.)
