What reason is there for teasing it in the title and then keeping it a secret anyway?
Besides it being some political shit Oda knows would scare some readers away so it's better to reveal it at the end, I don't understand why we need this blueballing close to the end of the story.
>uh did i never mention that most important thing to any of the most important people to me? >whoops :) why has oda become so bad at being subtle with his retcons?
Tyler Myers
since when a teasing from Oda had good delivery when unveil?
Ethan Russell
Shit writing

I want to fuck Luffy, that's my dream. It requires more than being an animator, you have to become an anime character yourself to achieve this.
Charles Campbell
Didn't One Piece do a delayed revelation just recently? What was it again?
Lucas Wood
It's something retarded like he wants to have the biggest pile of meat in the world. >''that's so like you'' What else could it be? Luffy never cared that much about global proceedings unless it directly affects his friends.
Logan Gutierrez
I thought his dream was becoming the Pirate King?
Because retards like lap it up anyway
Grayson Carter
but it's also the same thing Roger said
Samuel Cruz
Is Shanks still a villain at this point?
Joseph Watson
The >he laughed was great and added a lot of suspense to this decade old mystery. But this is definitely pushing it. His goal was the One Piece, but now all of a sudden it's an entirely new thing? And we don't even get to know what? That's retarded.
Caleb White
I thought he said several times that he wants to be PK to be free, what kind of retcon bullshit is this?
Ryan Russell
It was THAT
Caleb Robinson
seems unlikely after the way he reprimanded Greencuck. The only weird thing is his relation to the Gorosei
The reason it's delayed is because Oda knows turning Luffy into some freedom fighter or some shit would be out of left field.
What he hopes is that by the time it's revealed, retarded people will see it as being foreshadowed and cleverely integrated into the story since it was mentioned in the past (however recent).
>What else could it be? Luffy never cared that much about global proceedings unless it directly affects his friends. That's exactly why this is so stupid. It will obviously be something "deeper" and not just a gag or something typical for Luffy, otherwise Oda wouldn't have to rewrite history and make Luffy say he never talked about it.
So his foreshadowing boiled down to 'hey I'm going to do something soon'?

It has muh liberty literally in the color spread and it's all they talk about

>rubber fruit the manga is based on for 20 years suddenly turned into le chosen god of freedom >simple self-seeking dream the manga is based on for 20 years suddenly turned into some do-gooder motivation when luffy explicitly said multiple times he doesn't care about that midlife crisis because he spent his entire life writing a shonen manga for children and now he tries to overcompensate?
Nolan White
The writing is literally on the wall. Not sure how people can think it's just something like meat
Colton Gray
One Piece barely feels like OP anymore, feels like Oda sold out and just wants to get done now
I feel the opposite. It feels like he became terribly cynical after all the executive bullshit he had to put up with. He is still trying, but he is definitely bitter.

Mason Stewart
It wasn't good, it was terrible and obvious from the start.
Adrian Long
Last 3 chapters feel more like One Piece than anything else in the last 4 years what the fuck are you talking about
Jackson Nelson
Biblically influenced angel loli replicas is one of the most unfitting things in the manga so far
I think that might be exactly it. Keep in mind that One Piece was only meant to last 5 years. I feel like Oda is getting cold feet about the ending he planned and might want to change it to something more "meaningful" and "climactic".
