The 5th four Emperors.
I kind of like it, it sounds like an unofficial title. Like the sixth man in basketball.
Kuroko?
That's because it is. Luffy isn't actually among the yonko. Big News Morgans hyped him up as one in his article but it's clear that the higher ups of the marine and the other yonkos don't see him as equal. Teach even said it is too early for him to be considered an emperor.
This. When Luffy starts taking control of the Grand Fleet and what is left of the Whitebeard Pirates, defending territory from the World Government and the Yonko, and starts acting like a head of state, then he will be an emperor by default.
Luffy doesn't seem like the type to take charge of a lot of people. I would love to see him mature into a more assertive leader, but I have a feeling he is just going to continue being a spontaneous thrill seeker, and the rest will just follow him where ever and make their own decisions on how they believe they can best support him, because they love him. He's not the type to strategize and give out orders lol
he doesnt even want to be a yonko, he just wants to be the pirate king
That's why I'm ok with Luffy being a figurehead leader, albeit one who has the support of his peers. There are more than enough capable people in the alliance to take positions of management and control.
But jimbei can do all that for him and he can just go along with it.
He does have a sizeble fleet though
Simon
I guess he will break the mold as an Emperor... the makings of a great future king? Oh man that thought sends shivers down my spine!!
if he wants to be the king of pirates then he has to be an assertive and aggresive leader. up until now luffy is just going with the flow and not making too many uncertain decisions. he takes all the responsibility. I would really love to see the Luffy from the water 7 arc
But Luffy is not Gol D Roger, and does not mirror him on every issue.
We know for sure now that Luffy will do whatever it takes to keep his family and friends safe, and he has included more and more people and islands in that blanket of protection. My guess is that one of those nations, maybe Drum Kingdom or Alabasta, will be threatened with destruction by the World Government. And Luffy will fail to protect them. All of its inhabitants will be slaughtered or enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, especially people that directly aided the Straw Hat Pirates at disrespecting the WG.
At that point Luffy will realize that he can't protect everyone with just his core crew if they are focused on finding Raftel, and will have to work with his Grand Fleet to keep those he cares about safe.
When Luffy and co take down Kaido, he will be an emperor by default. The other stuff doesn’t matter.
That other stuff DOES matter. The "Four Emperors" earned their titles by successfully holding large amounts of territory within their own right and not being seriously challenged by other pirates or the world government. This is why it was a big deal to execute Ace, for Whitebeard and Shanks to meet up, or for Shanks to
Fortunately Oda has already put Luffy on that path. He has made friends with multiple kingdoms over his journey, and their leaders are shaky at best in their loyalty to the world government. And now the leaders of those kingdoms are in communication with each other AND the Straw Hat Grand Fleet through Leo and and Sai. If things pop off after Reverie, Luffy may be forced to back up his claims of friendship, which would slow his journey to find Raftel.
But it would also make him more than just a hotshot rookie causing trouble. The World Government and the Yonko would see Mihawks prediction come true, that Luffy's ability to make friends is his most dangerous skill.
I mean, does Kaido or Shanks do this?
Lol. Luffy would never do boring shite like that.
He will when Kaido or Big Mom threatens to kill every child mermaid on Fishman Island.
Or if the Navy attempts to Buster Call Alabasta for asking too many questions about the Void Century.
As much as Luffy claims to be care free, he has some red lines he won't cross, which include abandoning friends to their fate. When a kingdom he cares about gets threatened again, we will see if Luffy is strong enough to go back to Paradise and lay down the law.
Imagine Marco the Phoenix working under luffy (I’m only caught up to the show so if this happens in the manga please don’t spoil it🥺)
He’s also not nearly strong enough
More importantly, Luffy himself has no interest in being a yonko, and all the responsibility / baggage that comes with it. He's going straight to the top, in order to become the most free person on the planet
The problem with this argument is the fundamental misunderstanding of how Yonko are created.
It's not like being Knighted. You think Akainu calls new Yonko up and says hey you're a Yonko now!
In all actuality, no one even knows how Yonko are picked. It could quite literally be something that is decided by the media and public perception. If this is the case you already have people going to the Reverie acknowledging Luffy in this way.
From what we know, Yonko are simply an aspect of the great balance of powers, with the purposes.
-
To keep other Yonko in check
-
To keep younger pirates in check
-
To maintain some order in the New World
And lastly, this is never explicitly stated, but to keep the great Pirate powers divided.
It is understood that the Marines + Schichibukai more or less act as a counter-balance in that they are likely strong enough together to suppress any Yonko crew, or at least act as a deterrent from any large scale conflict. Evidence for this is seen in Marineford
The bulk of the Marines + Shichibukai vs the bulk Whitebeard's forces and it is highly unlikely the fight would've ended in anything but a total massacre for the WB pirates had other. factors not played in. Most importantly it was only when Shanks arrives that the WG essentially knew that fighting two Yonko crew would be likely more than they could handle, so they called things off.
This is important
We also know that the Marines are rarely scared of much, EXCEPT for the prospect of two Yonko crews mingling. When Shanks. and WB meet up this is seen as an aggression towards the Marines and the underlying pact between them and the Yonko. The Yonko are allowed to control the New World while the Marines stay off their backs as long as the powers remain separate.
So what is a Yonko? Is Luffy one?
People keep saying no, because. "Blackbeard said he isn't". As far as anyone knows, it is not Blackbeard who decides on whether someone is a Yonko or not. At least I have not seen any evidence to suggest this up until now. And this point deliberately misses the fact that Shanks, arguably the most powerful Yonko hears the news about Luffy and decides it is time for them to finally meet. So while Blackbeard makes a vague statement. leading us to believe that he has not acknowledged Luffy, Shanks has.
And Luffy fits the bill
-
The media and public perception recognize him as a 5th great force in the Great Pirate Era
-
Luffy has a fleet of 5000+ Strong, and we know this is only likely to get stronger. If Jinbe lives, or Germa there is a good chance they'll throw their lot in as well. No to mention almost everyone Luffy has ever met could be a potential ally (Boa Hancock and her. kingdom come to mind, the Dragon, Sabo and the revolutionaries another)
-
Luffy has territory. At the very least the Fishmen, a critical piece of real estate are on Luffy's side. And so is Dressrosa and Prodence Kingdoms. Arguably Zou. And who knows, Wano could be next.
-
Luffy has the power of kings
-
Luffy is arguably the closest or one of the closest Pirates to attaining One Piece. After Wano it is actually inconceivable from a story writing perspective that this is not a definitive. truth. Not simply by having access to the Poneglyphs but as far as we know Nico Robin is one of the only people who can even read them. Big Mom has had her Poneglyph since the days of Roger, and despite her strength was incapable of deciphering it. Luffy CAN decipher them, and he has already acquired two.
-
The Zou Poneglyph: Luffy has acquired this poneglyph, and
-
Big Mom's poneglyph
-
Post-Wano: It is hard to imagine that Luffy does not acquire the remaining known poneglyph which is in possession of the beast pirates.
-
Note: It is worth noting that we have no idea how many Poneglyphs the others have collected.
-
for Big Mom we know she has one. It is possible she did at some point have access to Kaidou's, but unlikely since it is in Wano and there is no evidence that she went to Want at any point to retrieve it. It is likely that she knew of it's existence and was simply waiting until she was able to decipher them. It is unlikely that the Zou poneglyph fell into her hands but due to Pekoms she may have known, or even had a copy. Similar to Kaido it's possible she knew and was just waiting to get the translation ability. This would lead credence to her claim to Luffy that she was very close to becoming Pirate King.
-
for Kaido we know he tried to get the Zou poneglyph and was thwarted by the Straw Hats and Zou. We know he has his own, and it is conceivable he had access to Big Mom's due to their past relationship but Big Mom did mention that Roger was the only one who ever had gotten access to it so this is unlikely.
-
for Blackbeard, we have no indication he went to Zou, Tottoland, or Want at any point and it is unlikely he has acquired any outside of the lost 4th poneglyph. It is likely Blackbeard, is not concerning himself with this and has formulated a more cunning plan. We know Teach is a patient motherfucker and it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for him to continue to accrue power and let the others fight it out, while he comes to pick up the scraps.
-
for Shanks, more or less a complete mystery. Speculation here is irrelevant as he does not seem to care to be the Pirate King, and it is likely he has already found One Piece if he was indeed still with Roger when this went down. Shanks strikes as more of a gatekeeper to protect Roger's will than having the ambition to pursue the Poneglyphs. He also may have the 4th lost Poneglyph, or at least know it's location.
Why does the WG fear Luffy? And why he is certainly a Yonko, if not in name, in reality.
Simply put, he threatens to up-end the balance created by the Yonko system. His uncanny ability to win. people over was acknowledged by Mihawk as his true strength. His parental ties to the leader of the Rebellion (in itself a wild card which threatens to up-end the balance) let alone to Shanks are scary. Let's revisit an earlier point
The Marines are able to subdue any on Yonko crew if necessary, but they fear any two groups of Yonko who would combine their strength against them.
So for anime-only I ask, imagine if we went back to Marineford but instead of Whitebeard... Big Mom decided to take her entire force and attack the Marines. Worth noting that Whitebeard's attack was never likely to succeed. The old man was on his last legs, despite once being the world's strongest man. And on top of that WB had lost Teach, Ace, and Thatch 3 of his upper commanders. But a full strength Big Mom attack would likely take the Marines to the brink. Now maybe they would hold it back. Maybe they could hold back Kaido and the Beasts, maybe they could even hold back Shanks or Blackbeard. But could the Marines hold back Shanks AND Luffy? Could they hold back Blackbeard and Luffy? Big Mom and Luffy? Kaido and Luffy?
It is for this reason that Luffy is a Yonko. He has amassed a strength that would tip the balance of power outside the WGs favour, and unlike the other Yonko he does not seem to have any reverence towards the rules of the world.
Tl:dr All in all we know Luffy has the fleet, territory and influence that any Yonko have. He has and will have the best shot at One Piece (and as such being Pirate King) until something drastic changes, he has access to allies and the connections to Shanks and Dragon + his willingness to punch Celestial Dragons in the face make him a force that the WG likely fear. Most people know of Luffy's strength through name only, and he has built a name and reputation that should strike fear in the hearts of everyone now. There are those such as Blackbeard, and Akainu who have faced off against the rubber boy head on and know how limited he is in capability as an individual. But Yonko are built by reputation, and right now Luffy has got to be one of the scariest mother fuckers out there.
And if anything Luffy's lack of any particular place he calls home just makes him all the more threatening than the other Yonko. They all have territories and islands they stay on largely. To the point that the Navy is able to keep a general track of their movements as noted when they knew that Whitebeard and Kaido clashed out at sea.
But Luffy is the equivalent of a wandering typhoon that vanishes off the map at whim. He has all that power and ability to influence things like the other Yonko but he never stays in one spot nor does he respect the boundaries set by others. To the WG and outside observers he is just a figure that pops up in some spot, flips it upside down and then vanishes into the sea.
Actually a great point
I mostly agree but Spoiler
That character killed themself.
But in the databook it calls him an emperor
Him being completely outmatched by Kaido also didn't help it.
The referee
Guess what, ALL emporers are unofficial.
All the better for people who say he’s not a real emperor
It is
yea it was kind of awkward before blackbeard took over as a yonko and after white beard died, there were only 3 four emperors
Does "yonko" literally mean "four emperors"?
I don't know enough Japanese to know if the number four is implied or not.
Yon is used to represent the number 4 in japanese (It's a way to say it.) For exemple, see the Yondaime Hokaga (4th Hokage), or the Yonbi (4 Tails Beast).
While the Ko is used to say Emperor in Japanese I believe. So the two together are Yon (4) ko (Emperors)
Or Sanji's brother, Yonji
You're mostly correct but "Kou" doesn't mean emperor, it's just "Ou".. here the "k" sound acts as a conjunction when "Yon" and "Ou" are joined
Yes, 四皇 (Yonkou) means “Four Emperors”. The actual phrase that the newspaper used was 5番目の皇帝 (gobanme no koutei) or “Fifth Emperor” where 皇帝 (koutei) means emperor.
Do you read the raw's? Is there a way to get a cleaned version of them that still has the Japanese? My roommates buy weekly jump, but the paper quality is atrocious and it comes out faster here.
If you’re in Japan (or you have an iTunes account with its region set to Japan) you should be able to use Shonen Jump’s app, 少年ジャンプ+, to buy and read it the day it comes out. I agree, there is a certain novelty in going down to 7/11 to buy the latest Jump but the paper quality sucks and if the covers happen to be loaded with scantily clad anime girls that week you feel like quite an idiot walking back home with it in your hands
happen to be loaded with scantily clad anime girls that week you feel like quite an idiot walking back home with it in your hands
You misspelled "proudly displaying your cultured tastes to everyone you pass by on the street".
Yeah, like Shichibukai means 7 warlords(? I don’t actually know what bukai translates to). Shichi is a way to read 7 in Japanese.
Seven Armed Seas
Player 5 has entered the game.
Goko
Don’t forget, he’s also a self proclaimed 8th shichibukai.
My friend at school was saying that "Hes the 5th yonko dudee" and my intellectual mind was just thinking "You silly fool" but i left em alone, why ruin peoples hype lol
After East Blue
After Alabasta
After Enies Lobby
After Timeskip
After Dressrosa
After Whole Cake Island
Wait wasn’t the first one after Arlong Park?
Was the 400 mil after the timeskip or after the war and him heading back there with Raleigh to ring the bell and pay respects? Or is it not explicitly stated so it’s just speculation?
The 400 mill bounty was after Marineford, but he first found out after the timeskip
After marineford. So it included him punching the celestial dragon, breaking out of impel down, and causing chaos in the war.
Not after timeskip. To be precise it was after marineford.
Can't believe the World Government dropped his bounty to 150 million after Whole Cake!
How does it come that his bounty is 150mil when there are only 7000 money in the world?
This fuckers want bounty hunters after him!
So the Marines splurge on better paper quality and recognizable face when you become a totally out of hand monster that no Sane bounty hunter will attempt to capture said pirate.
Remember the time when they issued a poster for Sanji that made it difficult as is to recognize him.
Idk I recognized him instantly 😏
The entire Sabaody archipelago would disagree...
Identity theft is not a joke
If you have a higher bounty, then it will take longer for you to get caught presumedly so they splurge for the higher quality paper because the same posters will need to be used for the next 10+ years possibly and they don’t want to reprint them.
Relatively no names that get bounties get newspaper or manga quality paper so that if they get caught the next day its no big deal for the wallet of the Marines.
Title should be "the fifth emperor"
Goko doesn't sound right.
Yeah, Wukong sounds better.
I like fifth yonko becuase its an unofficial title / something that doesn't quite belong. Luffy wont be a true yonko untill one of the current are dethroned or maybe the supernovas will make the whole yonko thing obsolete by having so many strong pirates
Yonko translates to "4 emperors". Saying 5th yonko is the equivalent of saying 5th 4 emperors. That's why OP is being criticised
His comment implies that he clearly understands that
I never liked the new picture, the first one was legit took by a marine photographer and has details in it. The new one looks more like a drawing of the first one than a picture.
Also, there's no Usopp in the second picture
That’s God Usopp to you
He wasn't God when it was taken
Smite & Ban this non-believer from this sub!
The first one looks taken from a scene of the anime.
I really like the new one. He looks so ridiculously happy and cheeky like a monkey in contrast to his terrifyingly large bounty.
Which arc did they change the pic though I can’t remember?
They updated the picture after Fishman Island, seeing as it was his first major escapade in 2 years.
I love the second, he look really happy.
Maybe there some intentionality esp with the hat and stuff
😭 Our boy luffys grown so much.
So why is luffys smile is smaller when his bounty is up?
I don't think it was on purpose.
But if so, I would say that he is getting tired of the adventures, and his body is starting to show signs (like after the shots of Ivankov, gear 2nd and so...)
OR
He needs his meat.
I think it's just a less excited smile only. Not too complicated or hard to imagine.
Well my thought is that it isn't the bounty that made his smile smaller but because someone isn't there anymore.
Artstyle change
Im at the end of the fishman arc and Im ok with these spoilers. I am totally ok. cries with joy “my boy Luffy had grown up so much”
Stay away from this subreddit!!!
You must experience One 'Master-" Piece on your own until you catch up!
Story is AMAZING.
You’re right because i always looked forward to how much his bounty would increase from arc to arc now I know his current bounty fml I’m going to unsubscribe. 2 months into one piece can’t take no breaks anymore
Be happy its only this that is spoiled. Its a small one with al the good stuf ahead!
Enjoy the ride mate! And we see you again after it.
Unsubbed.. just answer me this... will I find out what happens in the 100 missing years ?
TBD I think. Small clues but it might even be one of those thing that never gets fully explained. The more important part is what happened after that lead to the one piece world the way it is now.
I'm not caught up completely. I'm am arc behind I think. Just at the end of ...a thing with a thong but before another thing.
We don't know yet. It was longer than 100 years I think. It's called the void history. When you catch up, search "library of OHara timeline"
You will, you wont. I dont know, but its part of the ride. Enjoy it!
We havent yet.

oh right, this is officially not a spoiler anymore.
Is not a spoiler for anime viewers who catched up.
For anyone who hasn't caught up yet it is.
By the rules of the subreddit it isnt but to anyone who isnt caught up it is
Spoilers on here is just manga content past the anime You can't have previous stuff shown in the anime also a spoiler otherwise every single post would be spoiler tagged, that's silly haha It's a subreddit to discuss the series People who aren't caught up shouldn't be on there, besides making their own post to discuss the point they're at
This is about as mild of a spoiler as it gets... but I also agree to avoid this sub like the plague!
There’s SO many more things coming for you! Especially manga stuff too if you’re only watching the show
Luffy has such a beautiful smile.
It's crazy that less than a month in-universe after reappearing from his two year absence, Luffy's bounty rose from 400,000,000 to 1.5 BILLION. I know rookies rise fast, but that's just nuts.
So where does the new poster photo come from? Did he have that smile in sabaody?
a photo isn t related to the time they decide to raise his bounty. they could have made it shortly after enies lobby. for example someone while they where partying with the enie lobby townsfolk ot just one of the snails in the prison.
I was referring to how luffy's shirt and overall design matches his post-timeskip version. That's why I said did they take it during his return in sabaody. I know fully well photos aren't related to bounty increase man.
WHEN IS A PHOTO TAKEN? IS IT WHEN THE PHOTOGRAPHER SNAPS THE DEN-DEN CAMERA? No!
IS IT WHEN THE PHOTO IS PRINTED FOR ALL TO SEE? No!
A PHOTO IS TAKEN WHEN A MAN DOES A DEED WORTHY OF BEING PHOTOGRAPHED!
I tried, okay?
The 500,000,000 bounty poster came out after Dressrosa, so it could have been anywhere between the beginning of the timeskip and then. Since there was a Marine presence on Dressrosa, and the new picture started being used after that arc, I would assume the new photo is from there.
I miss Usopp
Right?! I've gone too long without some Franky in my life personally.
It's ok at least you have the five hundred inconsequential side characters introduced per arc to comfort you
The fourth one is not like this, the photo is different
The last one is fake, it decreased to 150 mil
The Goko
Imagine seeing a wanted poster of a world-renowned criminal with a smile as genuine as that from a boy who could be your neighbor. Doesn't look intimidating at all lol.
It is true that Luffy and his immediate crew does not possess the physical strength. But, if you were to add the fleet and his other allies, he may surpass that level. The truth be told, Luffy is the greatest danger to the World Government. Luffy has ties with several countries, the Revolutionary Army, and the White Beard Pirates. There is no other pirate with that type of backing. Luffy can even make his enemies become his allies. He is not as strong as a Yonko, but he is way more dangerous.
luffys wanted picture fits perfectly with his character, but would love a more ferocious picture
You know someone was talking about his smile in another thread and, I have to agree, Smiling puffy is a nightmare. Imagine you see this guy who has basically no regard for his safety, will do practically anything causes insane levels of destruction, beats the living shit out of people before they can react and the whole time he has this big goofy smile on his face. Especially for civilians he has this frightening reputation and as far as anyone can tell he's enjoying everything like a kid in an amusement park... If I see anyone like luffy I'm running because he is legit terrifying.
I've always loved this picture:
Luffy on the left, looking mad shady and badass, the "MUGIWARA" around the... well... the strawhat pirates.
Yea that one would have been cool too, but i guess marines want like a face picture so the wanted person is easier to recognise
That does make a lot of sense!
Damnit, Oda! Why you gotta be tactful and logical?
I agree but I forgot they got the back of Sanji’s head lmao
Lol poor Sanji, the world refuses to give him a break
I love the fact that he thought it was 150,000,000 instead of 1,500,000,000
"5th Yonko" makes no sense.
"Yon" means four in Japanese doesn't it?
So he had his bounty tripled twice, then had 100M added to it twice and then triple again lol. Next bounty 4.5 billion confirmed NANI
Pretty sure his EOS bounty will be 5.656 billion (Gomu Gomu) so this wouldn’t be too surprising tbh
I remember I died hard laughing when I saw Usopp's head in the back for the first time.
The first and the second bounties tripled their digits (not exactly tripled I know) and the last two ones exactly tripled the amount
Don't mind me, I'm just to making a comparison
Edit: I just realized the second and third also tripled their amounts
NGL I really wish that they get a new picture for him soon
Is it just me or does it look like luffy is reaching out to grab the camera in the last two pictures
I never noticed that the background is different on 300 and 400 compared to the first ones. The rocks behind Luffy are much larger on those 2 when comparing with the first 2 that have the clouds on the same area.
Should already be Gokou 五皇. 😅
Why did it drop to 150 mill?
The 5th Goko
Why do I feel like this episode set up Rebecca and Corby becoming a couple ? Matching haircolour, having a mutual fandom, the father respecting the guy, them spending time together just as she was looking for someone to be goofy around with ... it fits so well and yet it feels wrong for some reason ...
Plus couldnt Law have given Kyros some artificial or animal leg ? So he wouldnt have to jump around on only one all the time ?
A 1 billion increase has to be unprecedented. Insane to think his bounty tripled after one arc.
I remember when people were getting downvoted for predicting that Luffy's bounty would rise past 1bil.
The older posters were a lot cooler
Oh that’s crazy. I was literally looking up Luffy’s bounty progression last night.
I’ve always wondered the value of these posters, like what is the marine actually going to reward 1.5 billion to whoever turns out Luffy? Do they have that much money?
In both photos luffy has his thumb and his finger on the photo as well as a bit of his index finger. How?
The king of pirate
Started from the bottom now we here
the rock usopp was looking at grew...
I wonder when I'll get my first poster
I've only gotten to 100 million so far but am excited to see how he gets to fucking 1.5 billion Jesus Christ
Thank god they don‘t change yonko to goko.
Still waiting for luffy to go back and save one of his friend's country in the first half of the grand line.
Luffy be like "Yo! It's not yet my final form"
yeee
And the best part is that he doesn't even know yet that he's a pseudo yonkou lol.
IDK I think they should of not changed the posters at all.
You guys going on about him not being a serious leader enough for Yonko or even pirate King. Calling my man naive. Firstly. He doesnt want to be Yonko. Secondly, he never wanted a Grand Fleet, he wanted 10 members. He's so good, they just became his grand fleet because his charisma and tenacity. This mans goal is the get the One Piece to become Pirate King. Gol D. Roger didnt have a fleet either. He had a small crew.
Bountys in one piece are only to hype characters
Well, in Luffy's case it's to show how far he's come.
Trueee but would be sweet to see some strong bounty hunters
Im surprised They havent just put blank check yet on the poster now because if anyone ever did catch the gang or even just luffy the marines are going bankrupt
he's a touchy feeling type guy.
Only worth 150 million now? What a letdown...ha ha
It took them long enough in the last episode to show his damn bounty. Stupid flashbacks.
So would that make it Ikkou or Gokou? Not JP expert, so in need of more info on the matter. (As the latter option just sounds wrong.)
Strait TRIPLED his bounty by escaping Big Mom
Is it official? I thought it was more of fake news morgen theorizing.
It's as official as it can be, even though the facts have been sensationalized, there are no lies detected:
-he came into BM's territory, defeated 2 commanders, and took down a large amount of their army.
-"allied" with the sun pirates, bege, and germa
-successfully escaped BM's territory
-has a fleet of over 5000 pirates
his credentials are all valid, and if morgans knew about them having 2/4 of the road ponyglyphs, his bounty would be even higher.
It's kinda half official. People argue he is not on their level yet but at the same time anyone who isn't a Yonkou should be careful when dealing with them because the Straw Hats will wreck you.
Have u read the recent manga?
Brace yourself, the Luffy truthers are gonna shit up this thread
I think Luffy deserves his bounty not his title tho
There s something very special about Luffy’s smile pre-ts as compared to post-ts. I get it that his brother died, but it s sad and somewhat disappointing to see this change.
Shanks also said I'll see you soon
He looks progressively less happy, more mature.
Is it just me or they way the anime visibly showed luffys new bounty before their reaction kinda ruined it
Luffy’s original bounty picture is so much better then the time skip one.
In Next bounty we will have a new Luffy photo!!!
I want funny and big laugh back.
Man did his old bounty picture look cool
He’s not strong enough to be one yet, he’s got a few more things to do before he becomes the 5th. Something he has to realise himself and himself only, sure he wants nothing to do with what he’s accomplished but he’ll have to take charge of it at some stage, when he does: it; among a lot more things, will change everything
Why do people always think Yonko means emperor. It means 4 emperors. Emperor is Tenno. Luffy is a Goukou.
Sorry to be that guy, but Emperor in that sense is Koutei, and counting up, you'd therefore have yonkou, gokou, and rokukou, meaning 'the four emperors', 'the five emperors', and 'the six emperors' respectively. To say 'fifth' would be Godai or Goban, depending on the context and the nuance you're going for, so luffy would be "Goban no Koutei".
I'd have thought 6 would be rokkou not rokukou
I suppose you could also say it like that. When you say it, I suppose it sounds like that anyway.
Tenno means "heavenly sovereign" and is specifically used to refer to the Emperor of Japan.
fifth emperor. not yonko. Luffy's new title doesn't contain "yonko" in japanese, it's meant to suggest that he isn't one of them.
You're being downvoted for saying something factual... You are completely right, the newspaper says "gobanme no umi no koutei" (the fifth emperor of the sea), not "gobanme no yonkou" which would translate to "the fifth of the four emperors". Luffy was never said to be a Yonko and the manga never stated his title to be equal to the Yonkos. Since there can be only 4 yonko, tthat would mean Luffy is going to be a yonko as soon as one of the four current ones loses their title.
yeah, it's a little linguistic thing that's sadly lost in translation :/
idk why this is so difficult for people to understand (especially when the Luffy vs Kaido chapter was called YONKO Kaido vs Luffy, as in, not YONKO Luffy)
[removed]
It means "four emperors". Luffy was never stated to be one of the yonko, and that's because the fifth of the four emperors wouldn't make any sense.
I love his smile. All the time.
The 5th Emperor, as "yonko" is no longer appropriate.
