Thread On What “I Believe” Oda Is Trying To Convey With Kings Character And Lineage, How Sanji(Mainly Judge) Loosely Ties In and Why Zoro Beating King Is More Symbolic Than Him Killing Kaido

#ONEPIECE #OnePieceThread #OnePiece1029 and Beyond

When Looking At Sanji(Raidsuit) & Kings Design We Can See Some Similarity’s(Button Up, With Skulls & Black And Red Being The Theme) But Also Obvious Contrasts With Sanjis Suit Being More Of Super Hero Savior Like And Kings’ Being More Of Barbaric Demon Warrior

When I First Read The Chapter Where Momo Is Saved By Sanji And Then Sanji Clashes With King I Always Wondered Why Did Oda Put That In The Story When “Most” Fans Thought He Would Be Zoros Fight,Was It To Subvert Expectations Or Was It Just A Little More, I Feel The Latter

When You Take Into Account Both Of Their Goals At That Time, I Feel As Though Oda Was Subtly Showing Their Contrast Once Again With King Wanting To Eliminate Momo And Sanji Wanting To Save Him, Sanji Running From His Name But Praising Momo For Not Running From His Is Also Subtle

Especially When We Go Deeper Into The Onigashima RAID, And Oda Starts Focusing On Momo And Sanjis Inner Turmoil, Momo Not Feeling He Can Live Up To His Lineage And Sanji Not Wanting To Live Up To His At All, The Caveat Being His Lineage Isn’t Just Germa Anymore It’s Also Lunarian

And Momos Not Only Being Ah Kozuki But Also Having The Fruit(Kaidos Bloodline Elements) That Turns Him Into The Monster That Killed His Parents, Sanji Can Lowkey Relate With His Mother Dying To Protect Him From Becoming Ah Monster That Killed Her Indirectly..

Sanji Being Ah Germa Failure And Momo Eating Ah Failed Devil Fruit, Sanji Didn’t Want To Learn The Germa Way And Momo Fruit Being Ah Failure Because Unlike Other Devil Fruits It Doesn’t Tell You How To Use Your New Gain Powers (My Own Personal Belief)..

But Let’s Get Back To King And Sanji, Contrasting Sanji Not Wanting To Wear His Suit So That He Could Hide His Vinsmoke Lineage, King Wears His Suit To Hide His Lunarian Lineage

I Kept Asking Myself Why Does Oda Link These Characters In This Way, Even With The Dialogue And Sequence Of These Panels He Mentions The Germa Children And Judge & Than The Lunarians And Kings Interest Peaks At The Mention Of The Latter..

So Me Being Obsessive With Sanji And Kings Future Plotline, I Go Back To WCI To Learn More About Judge And What They Call Him When Hes Fighting Sanji And What I Found Blew My Mind From This Cover Page And Also Franky, Zoro, And Sanji Bein’ On The Same Fruit In Wano Attire

Keep In Mind What Is On Their Attires As We Go On, It’ll Be Important Later. Bolts And Such For Franky, Dragon For Zoro And Arrows For Sanji..

In This Cover Page Chapter Judge Is Referred To As “The Garuda” When Fighting Sanji And When He Goes In The Air, Sanji Claims That Is His Specialty, The Most Imortant Part Is Him Being Called “The Garuda”. Sanji Is Also Always Associated With Birds

When You Look Up “The Garuda” You See Certain Similarities With Ah Certain Character And Even Characters Plural, And In Enels Cover Story You See People From Ancient Times That Resemble These Garuda Statues

Another 1 on 1 Comparison For The Garuda And King His Wings And Arm Are 1 In Hybrid And Full Beast Form

Shit Get Spooky When You Look At The National Emblem Of Garuda In Indonesia And You See It Resembles Germas Symbol And Also What It Depicted On The Shield Of The Former..

Kings Mark On His Forehead Slightly From What We Can Barely See Resembles This On The Shield

I Believe Kings Race To Be Either A Part Of Or Maybe Even Be The Ancient Fallen Kingdom That Ohara Were Studying And Professor Clover Was Talking About.

Kings Race (The Lunarians) I Feel Were Ah Group Of Bird Like Humans Like Most Moon Races, But Theirs In Particular Ate Dragons(Not The Devil Fruit Kind) And/Or Waged War Against The Celestial Dragons And I’ll Show How “The Garuda” Ties Into This Theory

When Looking At Real World Depictions Of This Creature It Is Said To Be An Enemy Of The Serpent And Eater Of Dragons, Associated With The Sun And Fire & King Of Birds. Oda Being Oda Made Kaido(Dragon) Someone King(Garuda) Looks Up To For His Strength

When We Go Deeper Could Kings Race Have Ruled Over The Other Moon Races(Birkins, Shandorians, Skypeians) As The King Of Birds?Could They Be The Celestial Dragons(Serpents) Original Enemy? Are They The Ones To Create The Devil Fruits That Causes The Ocean To Hate You ?

YES (In My Opinion Based Off This Movie Lost Girl-2012) And This Story Of The Garuda Forcing The Ocean(Umi=Imu) To Give A Sparrow Her Eggs Back, I Feel Oda Tied These Into Kings And The EOS Story Plot, Could King Have Fallen Into Hibernation During Void The Century? Maybe 🤔

I Believe Zoros Slaying Of King Is Warranted Because He Is Someone From What We Seen Is Ah Follower Of Buddhist Teachings And He Slaying “The Garuda” Only Being Able To Be Defeated By A Dragon Wearing A Buddhist Talisman Or One Coverted To Buddhism, Which Is Clearly Zoro

Zoro Would Be Surpassing Ryumas Feat Of Slaying A Dragon By Slaying Ah Creature That Ate Dragons, And Oda Foreshadowed It By Having Zoro Beat Ryuma With Flying Dragon Blaze But Miss On Kaido With That Attack, It Is Meant To Defeat King. (Ryuma Catches Fire After Losing)

King Is Similar To Ryuma In The Full Body Flame Aspect And Sword Breaking Aspect As Well. His Other Ties To Sanji Being Birds And His Attack “Imperial Archer” Sanji Being Depicted Next To Zoro With Arrows On His Clothing While Zoro Has A Dragon In The Chapter Where Garuda..

Is First Mentioned To Describe Judge Franky Ties In Because He “Saves” Zoro And He & Queen Or Cyborgs And He’s Probably The Only Person Who Can Tell Sanji What Is Going On With His Body Although Sanji Isn’t Technically Ah Cyborg.

Thank You If You Made It This Far 🤘🏾
