Listen Reyes while you may be the the. 1st edition. Us clones need to you know that the clones surpassed the originals.
Still gotta say with the last Stussy betrayal she's gone from a character I've gone "oh it's Stussy" to "yea I like you". Legit did not see her being Vegapunks ally coming from any direction. Thought she was only here to have a cool moment in WCI that also shows that CP0 does do deep undercover work like CP9. But nah this woman gets that and another moment to shine in Egghead with her also being a sleeper agent that takes out Kaku and Lucci. Do I care that it is a little convoluted? Nope, shit slaps and CP0 is now a lamer org for her not being there lmao.

I'm glad dumb youtubers are posting the theory that Bonney is Big Moms clone. Means it's going to end up wrong.
You laugh, but I'm scared his "I'll-die-if-I-hear-anything-about-the-One-Piece" disease will flare up near Laugh Tale.
You thought it was a war against the clones but it turns out it was a war with the clones!
Forgive if this has been mentioned already...
I saw some discussion about the Elder's name, that Saturn has some significance and they may all be named after planets.
I'm more interested in his other name, because he appears to be Jerry Garcia.
Maybe now they can have a JoJo crossover with their own Grateful Dead.

It's just dumb. There's no real connective tissue, it's blatantly taking fanfiction, working backwards, and presenting it as a "theory". And then people freak the fuck out when this shit goes south. It's nonsense, and for someone of Ohara's prominence to fan flames like this it feels downright irresponsible.
At least ideas of Weevil being a clone of Whitebeard and Blackbeard being a clone of Xebec have some amount of narrative weight to them. Bonney being a clone of Big Mom doesn't really do anything. If anything it's more likely Bonney's a clone of some dead girl Kuma loved than anything else.
Welcome to the larger OP fandom. OPTubers were even worse with this in Wano.
This is my real beef with prominent theories at the end of the day, and y'all mention it's almost always because of one prominent YouTuber or whatever making it a whole thing
"The Raid will fail!"
On the one hand I agree but..
This too. Cuz it's like…why you coming man lol
When you say tussle, do you mean remotely any decent fighting ability whatsoever, or straight up able to tango with top tiers
If the former, then maybe (at least the Gorosei with the sword anyways), if you mean the latter, then definitely not IMO
Assuming I'm proven right, it'll be kinda irritating ngl seeing people get upset that the old men that were never hyped up like that aren't actual top tiers that can best the Admirals or what have you
I don't expect this man to be giving no gear 2,3,4,5 luffy any amount of trouble no. Just any ability to fight at all really. Some tricky Devil fruit or like idk Brook, franky tier ya know. One of them Carrie's a sword and the blonde dude still look youngish so I expect a good amount of combat prowess but no not top tier
Right, the Admirals and Vegapunk's tech are the military might. If these dudes are beast and have been since on their ass for as long as anyone can remember then that's silly. Maybe no completely defenseless but they ain't scrapping with the SH's
Then I don't feel participately strong about it one way or another, but I suppose I lean towards them not being completely defenseless

Hook hook no mi. Take that as u will 🌚
I think they can tussle cuz there's no way they would be holding power for so long if they couldn't keep any potential uprises in check.
They got imu on they side tho. Than AGAIN! I feel like we had this conversation about imu and we saw what old boy cooking
That one dude having a sword kinda set expectations because if one of them can fight then they should all be able to fight
I think many years ago when they were first introduced in Jaya Oda might have intended them to be fighters. Which is why Oda showed us 5 of them and the 5 members of the Blackbeard pirates. But with how the story has gone since I don't see it as much and I think they are just normal people power wise.
Yea but that's a weapon separate from them that the world doesn't even seem to be aware about
I do wonder what makes the Admirals stay in line, but I doubt it's a power scaling thing
True it is an outside weapon.
Mmm that's probably more a lack of knowledge thing than it is a power thing I imagine. Get in and shut up sorta thing
I think like most Marines it's a true believer or a status thing
