    What a cliffhanger! Not only the demonified Shuri and Reuven, but one of the Elders and someone who looks eerily similar to Shiryu of the Rain…

    Candelle dying doesn’t fully clear her in my books, but it definitely seems like some Celestial Dragon bullshit going on

      Holy shit what if the guy sitting there was the admiral that Rocks killed in his flashback? If he were to be a marine he would have to be the level of admiral since only they answer to the CDs directly.

      Though the simpler answer is that he’s a holy knight whose design looks similar to Shiryu (considering Shiryu doesn’t seem to show any celestial dragon heritage to be working in Impel Down).

        It could actually be an admiral since God’s Knights don’t have a reason to directly attack a nation with the navy. We didn’t see any God’s Knights accompany Saturn to Egghead

    Brook not even taking a second to question Leuven going to war with the world government mirrors his role in the crew. He’s very much a ride or die teammate.

    I thin Candelle could be a refugee celestial dragon like Doflamingo’s parents who decided to stay in Esperia and betray the holy knights. At the very least Shuri is part celestial dragon since she gets a family name and is treated as an equal heritage-wise.

    The paneling on this chapter was really clean, especially the cliffhanger. I don’t know why the bird gorosei was silhouetted though so that might get explained later.

      I like that Candelle theory. Imu seems like they only care about characters if they have some sort of relevance to the void century parallels (Luffy/Joyboy, Loki/Niddhoggr, Vivi/Lili) so Shuri having that relation would make more sense than Imu thinking she’s a skilled fighter
