About this “great cleansing” (holy shit that scared me as fuck as I read it)… We can see that this “Im-sama”, as the king of the world, has the right to choose who will be extinguished from history, it’s not only killing someone, but to make everything that’s possible to make him disappear from all minds.
The word “light” is very important here I think, it may be metaphorical as “someone who gives hope to others” or as someone’s “life” simply. Put with the image of Vivi (which Im doesn’t seem to hold anymore when he goes to the throne)… Her picture is the only one which is not cut but Luffy’s, Blackbeard’s and Shirahoshi’s are. Does that mean that Im doens’t consider they deserve to disappear yet and his goal is Vivi of that they have to be eliminated but Vivi is another special case? If she had to be put in danger, I think it would be because of her family history (“traitors” + Cobra wishes to speak about the poneglyphs). But she hasn’t made anything else (except being in Luffy’s crew) which would make of her a target? I mean, Shirahoshi is a antic weapon AND also an ally of Luffy, why would Vivi be the center of attention ? It has to be important.
I think that through her, it is Alabasta which could be targeted, as well as many other allied countries of Luffy. As the gorosei ask for “their name” , and that they are willing to do a “great cleansing", it may mean that history may repeat itself with the forgotten century. Those who are willing to oppose the world balance (which may include Fujitora, the revolutionnaries as well as Luffy and potentially Blackbeard) should be killed and forgotten. It would imbalance strongly the world (as all institutions would be unbalanced [royalties, pirates, revolutionnaries, marines]) but for a even greater balance after.
However, Shirahoshi and Vivi are at the Reverie, which makes of them very easy targets, but I think that neither of them would die, as Neptune and Cobra would no stay without moving (as well as Rebecca and Riku and others) and killing them all is not possible right now.
In the end it’s very mysterious and scary. Well let me know what you think about it!
Yamata no Orochi (八岐大蛇 (ヤマタノオロチ), “8-branched giant snake”) or Orochi (大蛇), is a legendary 8-headed and 8-tailed Japanese dragon.
the god of storm susanoo killed the yamata no orochi
we know zoro uses several tornado attacks (tornados are storms) so zoro will defeat /kill the shogun and oda is
oda and the writer of naruto are friends and oda had done shoutouts to naruto before with raizo
and asura reminds me of susanoo plus remember itachi susanoo vs. orochimaru
and
along with this
so zoro will likely defeat the shogun orochi with the asura technique or an upgraded version of the asura as a result of the training and I felt that asura technique was a bit of a reference to the susanoo from naruto
also the shogun orochi could very well use 8 swords as a reference to how killer bee from naruto used 8 swords and yamata no orochi has 8 heads plus there is the fact that in the yamata no orochi myth After expulsion from Heaven, Susanoo encounters two “Earthly Deities” (國神, kunitsukami) near the head of the Hi River (簸川), now called the Hii River (斐伊川), in Izumo Province. They are weeping because they were forced to give the Orochi one of their daughters every year for seven years, and now they must sacrifice their eighth, Kushi-inada-hime so this will be referenced with the shogun taking the other samurais swords so along with his main sword which will be a reference to The legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which came from the tail of Yamata no Orochi
he will have 7 other swords he got from defeating other samurai meaning that he uses a total of 8 swords since the yamata no orochi had only gotten 7 of the daughters in the myth so replace the daughters with swords and the 8th daughter Kushi-inada-hime will be represented by shisui the national treasure of wano which orochi would want
he will have 7 other swords he got from defeating other samurai meaning that he uses a total of 8 swords since the yamata no orochi had only gotten 7 of the daughters in the myth so replace the daughters with swords and the 8th daughter Kushi-inada-hime will be represented by shisui the national treasure of wano which orochi would want
so in the end orochi is a 8 sword user who trys to make shusui his 9th sword so he can become a 9 sword user but is stopped by zoro who has his desired 9th sword like susanoo had carried the eight daughter on him
and he could get a new sword in orochis main sword which will reference The legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which came from the tail of Yamata no Orochi and how susanoo had obtained it from the yamata no orochis body (though susanoo in the myths had given it to amateratsu to settle an old grievance) they could change it so zoro keeps the blade along with shusui and sandai kitetsu breaks or he can give kusanagi away or he can return shusui
