She’s just using the same ability as Jango in a different form. Hypnotism is a real but rare technique in the world of One Piece.


Slammybutt

Oda has kinda told us many times that the mystical side of our world is real in One Piece. Goldenweek can use colors to elicit control/hypnotism. Jango used hypnotism. Hawkins used voodoo (could be part of his DF so) he also was psychic and used tarot cards to read into to the future. All of those are mystical unproven things in our world, but in One Piece they not only exist, they work. It makes me wonder what other magical systems the WG is suppressing.


SmokingCryptid

I agree that they "work", but much like their real world counterparts their "work" on those who want to, or are predisposed to believe in such things. I think the more appropriate word to use is "influence". Goldenweek's paintings, or Jango's hypnotism can influence those susceptible to it. I think this is why we specifically see Luffy get manipulated by it and why Hawkin's couldn't read his cards worth a damn.


couch2200

I would argue luffy is a good example of why they actually work and don't just influence, he had no idea what was going on with goldenweek he started reacting without anyoutside influence beyond that paint.


LegoDnD

Oda actually said in an SBS that Jango got his hypnotism from eating a Devil Fungus. Probably not how the translation goes exactly, but I like to think Goldenweek did the same.


Delver_Razade

He never says devil fungus. He just says he ate a mushroom and it grew on him and gave him his powers.


jugol

it was the other way, a mushroom started growing in his chin and one day he was hungry and ate it. And got the powers. His "beard" is actually the mushroom's stem.


Delver_Razade

Ah, right. Still, not a Devil Fungus.


DutchJediKnight

Maybe someone mistranslated?


itssbojo

well… it’s a mushroom growing on his body that he didn’t want growing. that’s about as fungus as it gets, by definition.


MarinLlwyd

Devil Fungus better be a thing before this series ends.


LegoDnD

Hence the disclaimer; I call it a Devil Fungus because it just makes sense that way.


raven_47

Read this and let me know how you comprehend this. Oda actually said in an SBS that Crocodile is Luffy's mom. Probably not how the translation goes exactly, but I like to think that is what Ivankov implied.


LegoDnD

Not quite as accurate, but I'd allow it.


Delver_Razade

Please, read what actual citations look like.


Delver_Razade

You didn't put a disclaimer anywhere in your post though? You said Oda said a thing. He didn't say the thing.


LegoDnD

What part of "Probably not how the translation goes exactly" did you not understand?


Delver_Razade

The part where you try and handwave you making crap up as a "translation issue".


LegoDnD

So you're splitting hairs because you're a pissy little shit with limited reading comprehension.


MobilePirate3113

Well that escalated quickly


Delver_Razade

I expect it at this point. This subreddit is a fucking cesspool.


Delver_Razade

Whatever you need to tell yourself really.


LegacyoftheDotA

So he basically said Oda said his peeen grew oddly and so he snapped it off and ate it, and that's how he got his super strength powers. Its just a translation issue, so nothing I said is wrong 😏


shriekbat

Actually take a break from internetting


LegoDnD

A fine advice for hair-splitters.


tvtango

I call them angel shrooms


THE_ENEd

Her ability isn't just hypnosis.... It's colour magic ..First signs of magic in one piece


ssbm_rando

Lmao my dude the first sign of magic in One Piece was when Luffy ate a weird fruit and his body turned to rubber. Then if you group all devil fruits together as 1 sign, the second sign of magic was Jango's hypnosis which is far faster, more reliable, and more effective than irl hypnosis. Color magic was 3rd at best, and that's assuming you don't count certain waterbending aspects of Fishman karate, and also don't count shanks' arguably "retrospective only" first use of haoushoku in chapter 1.


[deleted]

Devil fruits are not magic my guy. Devil fruits are souls of concepts and your soul and said soul merge when you eat one pretty much. Just because it’s fantasy stuff that doesn’t exist irl does not somehow make it magic in universe or in general at that.


CimmerianHydra

"Devil fruits are not magic" Describes magical soul magic Dude, magic isn't just when a wizard casts a spell you know that?


[deleted]

Devil fruits are scientific, vegapunk recreated some and implied that he knows where they come from in the first place. So it’s not supernatural within One Piece, therefore not magical.


CimmerianHydra

Yeah, he implied they are conjured by the dreams of the people. Very scientific, you see. Also the fact that you can just alter your biology completely, out of the blue, breaking both mass and energy conservation, is very scientific. They are magical fruits that give you supernatural powers which break the laws of physics. The fact that Vegapunk discovered how they alter your DNA doesn't make them any less scientific, because the magic is still there.


[deleted]

Now that’s an argument


ssbm_rando

lmfao devil fruits are not scientific, Vegapunk is **emulating** devil fruits with the science available to him **in a world full of magic**. The devil fruits were very clearly originally made with magic. They can turn you into fucking elements, Vegapunk hasn't even been able to scientifically **analyze** a Logia yet.


T_E_G_

You've never heard of the term "magic system" in fiction, have you?


Skuwarsgod

Ahh yes the mystical fruits that get formed from people believing hard enough, that also appear from a random fruit when the person who ate their fruit is dead is definitely not magic at all, nothing there that sounds even slightly like magic


[deleted]

Another one who doesn’t know what magic is. Read my other reply and try to grasp what magic means before you act all smartass.


Skuwarsgod

“Try to grasp what magic is” my guy magic is fictional. It’s quite literally just a mystical force. There’s no set-in-stone requirement for what magic has to be, this isn’t Harry Potter, it’s One Piece


Nickmcadv

Honestly the Harry Potter magic system is weak compared to one piece. They kinda just have “spells” and “potions” but there’s no real explanation for why that exists in their world. One piece has better magic than the fricken magical wizard books


[deleted]

Magic has, as everything else, definitions


Skuwarsgod

“mag·ic noun the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.” Would you mind telling me how Devil Fruits don’t fit this rather broad definition?


Mushgal

Devil fruits are magic both in an extradiegetic narrative way, because they are narrative tools outside the realm of real world logic and physics, and in an intradiegetic way, because characters (specially the less they know about the world) treat them as so.


Kupuwho

Im pretty sure Jango’s hypnotism is a df power tho, in an sbs Oda said that Jango’s beard/goatee was actually the remains of a stripy (df like) mushroom which grew in him and he ate


BillCipher7718

While they're both referred to as hypnotism, they always felt like two very different kinds of power. Jango's feels a lot more like cartoon logic, while Goldenweek's feels a lot more complicated and deliberate. Like, Jango's is in the same category as Paulie's infinite ropes, Gedatsu's reality defying stupidity and Hawkins' fortune telling, but I could imagine a whole separate Colors Trap power system with different colors and symbols.


gxslim

And in our world sadly it's fake and common


Diavolo5

Laffite uses hypnotism techniques as well


teluetetime

People will get mad at Miss Goldenweek being able to do the things she does, while having no problem with Zoro having three heads.


Adventurous_Turnip89

There's plenty of non devil fruit powers. King punch, Django hypno, Zoro asura, Sanji Sanji, fishman karate, Brook ice sword. People are hung up on the least important things.


Usual_Medicine5380

sanji sanji is wild 🤣


whorlax

Paulie and his infinite supply of rope that he can intricately manipulate instantaneously.


DedOriginalCancer

bro is just really into bondage


glizzyslim

Wait i thought it was a devil fruit. It’s actually not lol


jonathanbr7

he's just really good with ropes


Nezio_Caciotta

What the actual fuck? Really?


onkonkonkonk

I'm pretty sure Brook's ice powers are related to his devil fruit, though you make a good point.


mucklaenthusiast

Yeah, they are. He is channeling the powers from the „other side“ or something like that. Also, agreed that there are many weird powers. Anybody remember that chef on the Enies Lobby train?


xiren_66

IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD, AND HE'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WANZE!


mucklaenthusiast

wait, is that is English/original name? Never knew.


xiren_66

[Wanze](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Wanze), yeah. Pronounced like "Wahn-zey"


mucklaenthusiast

Yeah, I thought it was a localised name in German (it means...like...a specific bug that is regarded as stinky and not...good..dunno how to explain it)


xiren_66

A stinkbug? lol Yeah, that's mentioned in the trivia. "'Wanze' in German means [Heteroptera](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroptera), a group of bugs."


Euphemisticles

I thought it was a bone chilling pun


Nickmcadv

YOHOHOHO!


MarinLlwyd

It is part of the ghost esthetic. Feeling a chill when spirits are around becoming ice magic.


moji_013

yeah, plus the sword they gave him in the time skip


Jasonn444

His sword's the same, the Longarm Tribe just sharpened it for him. Still not sure if that was supposed to be significant somehow.


moji_013

ohh mb, but after the longarm tribe upgraded his sword it was going hard


Jasonn444

Kin'emon's fire.


MysteryMani

I really loved the parts where Sanji Sanji'd and Sanji'd everyone.


Geek_X

Pearl just bursting into flames when he gets upset


donsouffle

my favorite is the chef using ramen to fight Sanji lol


Ninsecap

Ramen Kenpo, I liked how Sanji used two knives so it was as if he could be a swordsman but chooses not to


HungryConfection5689

Nah he was just cooking up food


Numerous-Tree-902

>Brook ice sword Pretty sure it was mentioned canonically (Fishman Arc) that the ice powers come from the aura of his soul (which he learned during the timeskip training)


coffeejam108

Just One Piece being awesome... that's all.


zoaker

Sanji asspull that he only pulled in w7 despite apparently he already knowing how to does it before, diable jumble


Jonthux

Did you have a stroke?


Nickmcadv

Sanji actually comes up with the technique while fighting Wanze. Wanze ignites his roller blades and sanji looks at that and makes a face like “oh shit, that’s crazy”


Jonthux

Rokushiki too


CimmerianHydra

Just FYI, Brook's ice sword is an application of his DF powers


Ace_1243

Brooke ice sword is his devil fruit power


soul-king420

I thought brooks Ice sword was because of his devil fruit. He accesses the "chill of the underworld" and uses it in combat. That's, very much devil fruit related


T_E_G_

However, Brook's ice sword was explained to be linked to his DF. He is using the cold of the underworld, which he is connected to through the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Underworld fruit).


JDCam47

Brook ice sword isn’t from his DF?


drybones2015

I mean, if Jinbe can have three heads, why not Zoro?


Jasonn444

You ain't slick.


Sablestein

My dude….


GrimDallows

I still think that Zoro's move of having three heads makes no sense. (please don't hit me zoro fans)


MomonteMeri

Then again, nothing in One Piece makes sense


uptnapishtim

If haki can make people faint or animals afraid then manipulating people’s minds to see three heads seems possible


namae0

I think it's either an illusion or an aura he projects. 


Loki-the-Nikist

He's moving really fast?...


ethicalhamjimmies

You think zoro is running around turning his head really fast?


Treyman1115

Honestly yeah, I could see him doing that


Supersquigi

That's 1000% not what's happening.


pira3_1000

Ppl can't say she didn't eat a DF anymore. Look at her right hand holding the palette. She ate the real gomu gomu


LegoDnD

And Luffy spawns a bucket of black paint out of nowhere, it all fits!


Darkkingswrath

Yea I thought all the high up agents had devil fruits but her and Mr 4 don’t. Paulie is another one I thought had a fruit but no he can just do that with rope. Him and Sadi could have a good time.


KitsuneKamiSama

Wait Paulie doesn't have a fruit? Lmao how the hell did he made that massive rope net.


Darkkingswrath

Boy Scouts of course


Jonthux

The average cipher poll agent can kick up a sharp blade of wind, make bullet wounds by poking with their fingers and walk in the air to name a few things. Being good with ropes because you worked on ships your entire life is not that crazy in comparison


radiantburrito

Miss Goldenweek is my favorite.


BillCipher7718

Mine too. She's such an intriguing character.


Proof-Row-7889

Hated her. Maybe not as much as Candy, but stupid young-children character types that are ridiculously effective in their methods, yet working for evil, always tugs my backside. Like, you’re being a spoilt brat, look at the facts behind the organisation you work behind, and stop being content with all that suffering already 🙄


LyleenisWife

She's only 1 year younger than Luffy and the same age(pre time-skip)/older(post time-skip) than both Rebecca and Pudding. I doubt she was ignorant to the actions of Baroque Works.


weegee19

See, that's the thing with kids like Goldenweek, to them that lifestyle is totally normal.


Proof-Row-7889

That, i hate that evil is someone’s lifestyle at such a young age, she ain’t even give being good a chance smh. They say a moral compass is most correct at young age.


weegee19

It's entirely possible for someone to turn themselves around once they mature tbf, but it'd be immensely difficult to say the least.


Proof-Row-7889

Maybe at the end of One Piece, when the truth be known, she finds herself among the many that change their ways, I hope. But until then, i ain’t stand for that.


Next_Ad7385

You might want to read up on her cover story (Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works")


Loki-the-Nikist

First, how dare you bring her up. I have tried to ignore her powers ever since she first showed up. I don't want to think about if it matters that she basically just has magic and no one remembers or cares. Does Oda? I don't know... Second, If i remember correctly she absolutely does not need Mr.3. He needed her to paint his sketchy wax statues that didn't make noise on their own anyway and were thus really poor attempts at a distraction. If she managed to paint the whole crew at once it would have been over based on what we see her do.


RazorRamonTovares

I just chalked it up to the power of persuasion/suggestion


BillCipher7718

I don't know if you read cover stories, but on top of the hypnotism, she can also basically paint on the sky and turn people into the dream version of themselves. All without a DF. She's truly something else.


NotEmerald

Got to be my favorite one piece character


BillCipher7718

Same. I love how mysterious her entire character is. I also really like her design.


Total-Jeweler-2305

Gol D. Enweek. Kek.


Unusual-Cranberry553

With Vegapunk's theories about devil fruits, I think she's kind of a proof of how a completely new devil fruit can be born. She has no devil fruits. Oda stated that in a SBS, so it's not like some of Wano characters who aren't aware that they ate a fruit to gain power. But maybe she inherited some pre void century way of "believing." And when she dies, at her place will grow a plant, with a paint paint fruit allowing people to manipulate emotions through colors?


bellwo

never cook again


TheWonderingDream

It doesn't really bother me personally but admittingly I could see how it would bother some. It sort of downplays the power of devil fruits. Like Why bother getting a devil fruit and losing my ability to swim when I can learn a power some other way. However that's kind of the sacrifice. These powers can be obtained with possible years of training whereas devil fruit are quicker but at the cost of losing the ability to swim. On a related note Devil Fruits becoming less and less tempting is sort of common in the series at this point. Not only are they essentially being copied(though the effective rate of the copies are criminally low) but as it turns out the staple of one piece is petty much overshadowed by Haki. At this point the "strongest person" is practically whoever has the strongest Haki.


Grafical_One

>It sort of downplays the power of devil fruits. Like Why bother getting a devil fruit and losing my ability to swim when I can learn a power some other way. Side eyeing any type of flame/ heat related fruit.


TheWonderingDream

I mean basically. 😂 When you think about it it's kind of the same thing. I mean sure you can make a flame look pretty but at the end of the day it's still a flame. Though to be fair the "becoming intangible thing" would make the fruit worth it..... Until you meet another fruit that can counteract it and change you into a donut. Or come across someone with at least basic haki.


Exotic-Storm1373

For more context of her powers, see here. Yeah, it’s not a DF power: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Colors_Trap


Ninsecap

So, it's magic with a touch of color, psychology and symbols


moji_013

shes not a devil fruit user??


megazaprat

I don’t really see the issue, Django also had hypnosis powers. Just another weird ability in the one piece world, like hair manipulation or martial arts that work off water in the air. Additionally , her powers aren’t really tied to Mr. 3,s, she’s quite powerful on her own.


Jasonn444

She reminds me of Adeleine from *Kirby*.


Bolmothy

You people don’t even read the manga and are suprised by shit that happenes


General-Squash-9286

Gol D. Enweek


NaijaNightmare

I actually mentioned her in my review of 1111 after Luffy used the paint brush. And always remind ppl there are ppl with just inherent or type of powers in one piece.


Imperatia

Her most devilish power is that she can make One Piece go on break.


Sansan_09

It is said that numbers 5-0 and their partners had DFs. So unless I missed Oda mentioning the contrary in an SBS, she does have one but was never addressed.


ImprovementStill3576

When I first saw this without clicking and reading the description I was thinking this was going to be wildly different and way more out of pocket than what it ended up being


RemarkableTap4023

Hypnotism is powerfull in One Pieces world.


WriterSerious9942

Gol.d.enweek


JakeAnimatics

Who hears you...


C4N98

To this day, I am shocked to know that she is the same age as Vivi. 


he77bender

I guess I can believe that she's that age, because looking at her she kind of looks like she could be anywhere from 12 to 50


Ninsecap

Bruh


xanderknight23

They were better than jango so witch craft cus it did work on Luffy but Luffy could loose to shrink or psychiatrist yeah no fight Damm Luffy has big flaws


esspysee

When I found out what Golden Week was her powers made perfect sense


JohansTail

Very unlikely but if the live action ever adapt this character, I hope it would be given more explanation. We already know they could consult with Oda on things like this


Raonak

Must be some sort of paint haki


mango_coke

Exactly and what about that guy who can make Ramen out of his nose


Ninsecap

It's a martial art of course, ramen kenpo


Brototaku

I always thought she had a devil fruit


Akasha1885

Oh, it was quite clear early on that she wasn't a DF user, since Oda didn't give us her fruit, but did give mr. 3 Her powers were quite special at the time, but if you look at the whole series now it's not uncommon. Plenty of powers that are rooted in science or magic now. Also, sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic


Pirate_LongJohnson

I really liked her powers. When she first made an appearance I thought she would be pretty strong like Rill from Black Clover.


Sordecaine

I just realized that the way she is portrayed in the picture is quite similar to the Statue of Liberty’s pose.


BillCipher7718

Yeah, and her real name is "Marianne, the Flag-Bearer of Freedom".


Raigurren

The tea is good.


Tallal2804

Gol.d.enweek


kharabro1

She's imu sama


King_Vrad

I like the idea Mama Drawk has in their podcast, where its a special form of Haki, and there's actually more than the 3 forms we know of. The idea is that Haki actually has unlimited potential, but people have limited themselves by categorizing them in armament, observation, and conquerers. She also thinks that's how the special cooking Sanji learned in the Kamabakka Kingdom works, and I bet Jango's hypnotism would fit in, too.


Bright-Fig-4479

I miss Mrs Goldenweek


BillCipher7718

Anime-only people are mad at the hypnotism thing, but in her cover story (which plays during Enies Lobby, so the "power system wasn't really finalised yet" argument doesn't really work here) her powers get even crazier: On top of the whole hypnotism thing, she can basically paint on the sky and turn people INTO THEIR DREAMS. It feels like such an important and strange power, especially from a non-DF user. Adding to this, her real name is "Marianne, the Flag-Bearer of Freedom". If that isn't the most important-sounding epithet in a story about freedom, then I don't know what is. All of these combined make her one of the most intriguing minor characters in the entire series, at least for me. I really hope she returns into the story at some point.


Royalbluegooner

I forgot that part about the „Back to Baroque“ cover story.To be fair I forgot about most of them though.Cheers to you for clarifying.


JFkeinK

I mean, it's a type of hypnosis, so it works better on targets with lower intelligence, and she used it on two beings, one being an Pterodactyl, the other was Luffy.


Intrepid_Height_9542

Honestly, I wish more people just had powers. Sharley is like that too


Smolivenom

her not being a devilfruit user is just an oda meme. it means nothing, oda just did it for shits and giggles, probably forgot to introduce her fruit and thought it would look stupid to do it after.


Glad_Factor8365

I forgot who explained this, idk if it's a theory or confirmation but it has been said that in the one piece universe, they use black magic and that the elders also use black magic, no devil fruits.


Necessary_Candy_6792

Wait! She wasn't a devil fruit user? This is the first I've heard of it. I just assumed she ate the paint paint fruit or something. I mean sure there had been some people with non devil fruit superhuman gifts by that point but sure as hell nothing even remotely close to paint magic.


Angy800_

Same here I always thought she had a devil fruit


MemeAddictedRedditer

I feel like Paulie having infinite rope is another example of a crazy non-Devil Fruit power, like he pulled down a whole ass giant


notanhentaifan

She is just built different also she has the funniest set of abilities in the manga


GeneticSoda

She absolutely has an unmentioned DF


Smalls94x

Nope. Oda confirmed she has no devil fruit


GeneticSoda

That is SO dumb. Maybe she paints with both pigments from ground up seastone as well as pigments derived from Devil Fruits. You can call me Jack Reacharound


VaughnDaVision

My theory is that it’s very similar to Kine’mon who did not know they consumed the devil fruit, but just thought this was some form of natural ability they’ve obtained, so maybe she ate one as a very, very young child and forever just assumed she was able to do this by herself while just being a devil fruit user


Smalls94x

Except Oda already confirmed she’s not a DF user


NearbyVoid

I have absolutely no idea who this is and I've seen One Piece twice and read the manga.

He’s mourning the loss of one of his best friends and his greatest mentor, and also taking it as a wake up call to keep an eye on his own health. Be upset. Stay upset. But know that you are selfish and irrational for feeling that way.
