An authoritarian government invades a sovereign nation, forcing its citizens to work for them as slaves while destroying their places of knowledge to keep them ignorant and easier to control.
Thank goodness One Piece is fictional and that type of thing never happens in the real world.
The Celestial Dragons have got the whole conquering other nations role down pact, huh? Guess they’d had plenty of practice. Elbaph’s school and library are in danger of being destroyed. Something tells me Loki also wouldn’t mind if those two buildings were burned down. Protecting them is gonna become just as important as rescuing the kidnapped children. Mark my words!
Glad Robin’s gonna fight Sommers, but she’s at a huge disadvantage fighting someone with thorn powers. Maybe her and Chopper can pull off a win. Guard Point’s pretty durable. Then again, someone’s gotta save the kids, so I guess that’s gonna be Chopper. Just kick the little brats away with Monster Point and pray they don’t tattle.
Gaban. Quite the powerhouse coming to save the day. Too bad the Holy Knights are immoral. Yeah, the Straw Hats have gotta find their weakness or it’s all over. Hmm… Is that where Brook comes in? If he could find a way to get Gunko to spill the God complex beans on her immortality weakness, they win.
The Holy Knights and Five Elders. King Imu’s personal political and military lackeys. No doubt in charge of guiding the world to its final destruction. Thank goodness! …Oh! Not for that! Only because the Holy Knights as a concept seemed unnecessary when first introduced into the story. Now, I see they’re there to be King Imu’s last lines of defense against the Revolutionary Army as well as the Straw Hat Pirates. Maybe…even against Blackbeard?
This was an…okay chapter! Glad the Holy Knights are revealing their full intentions along with the true battles against them starting soon. As much as they surprised me by how interesting they are in terms of personality and powers, the main event, AKA Loki, is what I’m truly waiting for. THAT’S gonna be one heck of a ride.
Just be carful not to piss off Luffy, Holy Knights. Like, for instance… kidnapping children of the brave warriors that helped him on Egghead Island or beating the ever-loving crap out of one of his crewmates’ dear father-figure friends. Look! I never said the Holy Knights were geniuses, okay?
