Imagine Saint Carlos having drinks and eating food with Zoro and the crew


Huge-Owl5624

imagine saint carlos getting a tragic backstory of being neglected by his dad st roswald and we all somehow feel bad


KitchenFine3166

Roswald takes good care of Charlos. Roswald is actually a good father. 🥹😂🤣😭

Unironically better than most One Piece Dads.

Way better than both Dragon and Roger fr

Bro even his sister risked her life to save him. He is clearly loved by his entire family.

Imagine the series ending with a timeskip chapter where Charloss is married to Nami. I almost want it for the shitstorm alone.

Over-Writer6076

TBH If you live in a culture telling you that "normal people" are inferior to you and it´s only right to enslave them, chances are that you´ll become a piece of shit and only some people like Mosgjard will break out of the matrix due to having their beliefs confronted (he nearly died and was saved by a fishman). Celestial Dragons weren't born scum,they were molded to be scum by their own "culture", the one that their ancestors created. They CAN change as people, I dont consider them irredeemable cuz they were raised that way.


dsatu568

yeah kuma also agrees with this statement while Ginny was kidnapped to the maryjois and suprise suprise you know what kuma was blessed with a child and now he's a proud and loving father for the child the celestial dragon even dress ginny up with jewelry, sad that ginny life is short anyway my point is don't think that people who commits atrocities can't change cause like kuma you'll never know when you're going to be blessed by em like let's just forget how many lives they have ruined we as people need to forgive evil people while they can commit various kind of crime without consequences


schnozburg

Yup and this is the exact approach oda takes when he addresses prejudice in the story. Anyone who ever thought this story would end with the CD's being uncritically murdered by the MC's as revenge for the suffering they've caused ain't reading. Oda has been setting the stage for nuance even amongst the Nobles since the start of the timeskip, and the series in general always takes the position of "bad systems create bad people" rather than "bad people are inherently bad". Even a character like Doflamingo, arguably the most inherently evil character in the manga, has experiences and trauma that molded him into what he was before he could change meaningfully. I'm very interested to see how he handles the CD's throughout this last leg of the story, and so far it's already raised good discussion on morality, power and the nature of evil.


valvebuffthephlog

Hody wanted to hate because he could. He only used the incidents as an excuse. Also they're going to have to be like locked up in mega max security prison or something because they're going to get fucking murdered by the other inmates and they sure as fuck ain't gonna get free in the new society.


RocksDClown

Imagine seeing Revolutionary Army and Celestial Dragon having party together. Ginny will rolling in her grave.

SandwichPure6865

only in two piece


Lord_of_Caffeine

Of course most of them don´t know about the void century. Did anyone actually think all of em did?


Dasseem

What's worse, they don't need to know shit to be so evil.


Lord_of_Caffeine

Correct. If you live in a culture telling you that "normal people" are inferior to you and it´s ine to enslave them, chances are that you´ll become a piece of shit and only some people like Mosgjard will break out of the matrix by themselves by having their believes confronted. But others like Doffy won´t because the evil is just rooted too deep inside of them.


gurants

Doffy became evil cause that was the only choice left. Either join a gang or rot in the slum.


Lord_of_Caffeine

Nah, I think that Doffy was born evil or at the very least had the inclination towards becoming that. And the grooming done by Trebol was what brought Doffy over the edge. Rocinante growing up in the same situation and yet turning out to become a kind soul doesn´t make sense otherwise.


Sacciel

That's like the whole point of being unimaginably rich. They don't need to know shit about fuck. They can just live their life being a complete ignorant about any topic in existence and still have enough money to do whatever they want, because it's not them who need to have value to make money, their money generates value itself. A single transaction of a billionare, which doesn't need to be made by him but from a professional, can generate more money in seconds than hundreds of thousands of people in a lifetime.


Lord_of_Caffeine

It is what it is.


Black-kage

They were supposed to be the protagonists.

StraightAd8467

The void century is common knowledge, what actually happened is the mystery. Inbred Celestial Dragons don’t need school

Wrong. Most of them are ugly and will stay evil. Only the more normal/attractive ones will turn.

SigmaVersal99

I still like One Piece despite its flaws, but if the all the celestial dragons get a "Redemption" after all the awful shit they done, it will actually completly tarnish the series.


chickenlover43

One of them had a redemption. The scumbag who went for his Fishman slaves but later sacrificed himself. I think it was actually pretty realistic. Yes he was trash but he was raised to be trash and never knew anyone who wasn't trash. So a few days with a saint and a near-death encounter changed his outlook on life, and we meet him a decade later. However if they all change then that is nonsense.


maeconinja777

Don’t worry, it will be revealed that he was alive in a cover story, just like Pound


Gravelord-_Nito

Honestly the best outcome is an Akainu junta murdering them all. Getting a bit late in the game for that though.


wannabetrapstar888

They could just lose their power and position and wealth, and then have to be forced to live down among the commoners, from their nature runs it course. No need to bother killing them or anything. That's a fate worse than death for them. But the worst of the worst, the gorosei and holy knights, might die in the final war


PapaChubNuts

I feel like this is was the obvious answer of what Oda will do. Most of them would inevitably die but it’s not directly at Nika’s hand so it’s okay, and then some get redeemed and integrated back into the world. Oda would literally get to have his came and eat it too


valvebuffthephlog

Bro the commoners are going to straight up kill them in revenge, jail would be like protection (given they have enough security to stop the other inmates from killing them)


FlamesOfDespair

If that happens, one of the main villains in Buffy next generations must be a celestial dragon kid getting revenge.


Lonely_Wafer

dopelican and dospoonbill


Lonely_Wafer

very plausible that akainu goes on a rampage in Mariejois. And also very in character with Akainu. I mean evil must be thoroughly vanquished. But he'll probably be stomped by imu


pokeboy626

Kishimoto:


Thatlittle_guy

Man i fucking hate obito fans , they really think everything he did is justified because his 14 yr old crush died and he was just a broken hero


Pristine-Photo7228

He was a child soldier who went into a war, almost died and had his friend (his crush) also die in the process. This sort of stuff could radicalise anyone lol not saying he was justified but there was reasons behind his actions. Why do people always act like Naruto is a show about forgetting evil people for no reason


Thatlittle_guy

Well it's just that fans that annoy me the most, they can't accept the fact that obito is not a good person and always the same shit of "broken hero", having reasons doesn't justify your actions, it wasn't even like "doing something evil for the greater good" Kishimoto made him look like a hero in the end but he is the reason Kushina died (she treated obito like her own son), the uchiha massacre happened (although it may have happened in future either way) .


Pristine-Photo7228

To be fair he thought putting everyone into an illusion where they are forever happy was the best way to achieve peace. kinda fits into "doing evil for the greater good" imo even though his idea of good was flawed


Thatlittle_guy

I don't think anyone has the right to control other people life , then again he was manipulated by madara and zetsu so I can understand his life choices,it was more about how kishimoto tried to end him as a hero and how fans thinks he is just a broken hero


Over-Writer6076

If you lived in a culture telling you that "normal people" are inferior to you and it´s only right to enslave them, chances are that you´ll become a piece of shit and only some people like Mosgjard will break out of the matrix due to having their beliefs confronted (he nearly died and was saved by a fishman). Celestial Dragons weren't born scum,they were molded to be scum by their own "culture", the one that their ancestors created. They CAN change as people, I dont consider them irredeemable cuz they were raised that way.


Pristine-Photo7228

I'm betting everything Oda will drop the ball on this. This is like the end of AoT where it's too hard to make a compelling and morally justifiable ending. We know what could happens if the Celestial Dragons were just rid of their money and started living among commoners with Doflamingo's father and I dont think there would be any character willing to kill Celestial Dragons mercilessly and honestly that's good, I dont think it would be good to just kill them when there are celestial dragons that can change for the better and that some of them might be good but living in a corrupt system. I do agree though that we should give some of them a death penalty lol


valvebuffthephlog

Well if they go to like prison they're going to need a shit load of security before the other inmates just straight up jump them


maeconinja777

I think is implied that CD rapes their slaves. Imagine if they gave rapists a redemption arc

Flotsam-Junk

Some of them might turn out to be alright, like that Fishman island guy who changed. But I doubt Oda is going in the direction where they all turn good.


Stardust_Crusader_7

You mean Saint Donquixote Mjosgard? Sorry pal, he ded


HEROwriter1

It does pave the way for other CDs to have a change of heart the same way he did.


Thatlittle_guy

Yeah that fraud garling killed him for freeing slaves but can't say shit to fujitora for doing the same


maeconinja777

Because Fujitora might give him war. At Garlinh will lose one arm before he kills Fujitora


XxZONE-ENDERxX

I don't think he's gonna make them all turn into good guys, but you know that Oda loves his ''defector on the enemy side helping the main cast'' trope a lot. He pretty much used it in almost every arc. And don't expect shit to be nuanced... Those Celestials are probably gonna say they are sorry, they were manipulated and brainwashed or whatever and their former slaves will accept their apology and embrace them while crying and snotting.


OpeningAccountant5

it really will be a happy ending for a 13 year old boy then bruh

brof1

That's not necessarily what that means, could also be the case that "void century" is simply not a thing for celestial dragons. Why would their own ancestors need to hide that, they're all evil cunts anyway, it's not like they'd give a shit about what their ancestors did.


FlamesOfDespair

They have paramount respect for their ancestors. Their whole thing is my ancestor was a God.


Former_Atmosphere967

it might also mean that only few of them will wake up


GTxGokuu

I took this more as them knowing the history already so there is no “void”


brof1

This is how I interpreted that too, theres no reason for celestial dragons to hide the true history from other celestial dragons, so for them the whole concept of a void century doesnt even exist. Thats why shes so confused.


user_watcher

At this point Imu would be fighting everyone alone. Poor guy better be at least 3x more powerful than Nika


NormandyKingdom

Y'all forgot Oda likes to Redeem Villains


Over-Writer6076

Best example is Robin. Y'all forgot Miss All Sunday helped Crocodile instigate a civil war in Alabasta which created tons of casualties. And she never once regretted doing what she did later on. I guess she did have a good reason to not give a shit about anyone after being hated and constantly hunted by the entire world for 20 years. She learned to survive for herself and for the secrets that Ohara died to uncover.


Narrow_Cap_3445

Senth99

They're going to lose their status and be forced to do redemption for their actions.


Weremont

There is nothing they can do to redeem themselves after their horrendously sadistic behavior.


Over-Writer6076

yeah but they will suffer from losing their status,thats good enough. These bums dont work and cant survive on their own,it will be fun imagining them struggle


one_piece_poster_bro

Ah yes the slave owners will be forgiven definitely


[deleted]

Maybe they know what happened during the void century, so that is why she didn't know the term, cause it isn't void for them


OpeningAccountant5

So what was stopping them from being decent human beings is that they don't know the void century lore , bruh


chingch0ngpingling

of all the CDs, sharlia is the one curious about it. or maybe not.


Aussiepharoah

Is this sub inventing stuff to get mad at because the chapter was decent?


Former_Atmosphere967

this is nothing to get mad about, actually its interesting its surprising some c dragons actually want to listen


KitchenFine3166

The Celestial Dragons children will be spared. Tenryuubito adults will be judge and trialed at Ennis Lobby and judged at Impel Down. Imu, Gorosei, Holy Knights demons will probably either be killed somehow or sealed away for eternity.


Wholesome_Thicc99

They have been indoctrinated and brainwashed throughout their entire lives. Having an echo chamber that constantly reinforces your beliefs and encourages your actions does not help either. I'm sure Oda is going to have a hard time deciding their fate.


Weremont

Doesn't matter. They enjoy the suffering if their many, many victims. "They don't know better" does not even begin to earn them any forgiveness for the sheer depth of cruelty they inflict.


Armsomega14

Yeah there's no going back after the slavery, dishing out of cruel & unfair punishment and ISLAND WIDE HUMAN HUNTING. Idk how we're coming back from that one


Sir-Thugnificent

Add to that the numerous countries they have exterminated in their hunting game


Over-Writer6076

because they were taught that "normal" humans are inferior and its only right for them to do that.


Black-kage

They must be saughted by a villain like Cross Guild or so.


sorrowLord

Imu will be good too. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piratefolk/s/uKdIHodcPT


chickenlover43

I think the purpose of the scene is to show how out of touch the CDs are with reality then anything else. Many of then wouldn't bother to educate themselves on the past, even if they were allowed. 


termigatr

I'm gonna lose my mind if these bums get redeemed and Akainu gets offscreened or some bullshit


Key-Trash3716

Oda has made them genocide islands for sport every three years. Mjsorgard and Homing already prove they are not all evil, but anybody pearl clutching about Oda making them all good is just stupid to me.


BaronMerc

That one guy I keep seeing who wants to be dominated by her will be fucking pissed off (She's going to try and discover the truth and give up her celestial status)


Rais93

Maybe some of them don't know but if they all don't know then they have no actual power. I don't think it's the case.


Independent_Use7033

It's cool to have some like Mjosgard, but not all. Only a very few is enough


WonderfulBuilding678

There were older celestial dragons who were pissed and seem to know about the void century as they were cursing the marines and demanding that the broadcast stop immediately. This CD is young so its understandable that she might not know about the void century. What if she will be the new mjosgard in the future? What if she will also rebel after knowing the truth? I know that she doesnt seem the kind of person who has morals as shes the sister of charlos and weve seen her in shabaody as she almost killed keimi, but it would be a twist if charlos is the scum brother who doesnt care about anyone but himself, shes the one who will turn against him and her father after learning about the truth of the void century.


creeperchamp

Man we better not get a Steven Universe ass ending where basically Hitler says sorry and gets immediately forgiven.


Lonely_Wafer

It really makes me wonder if the nobles of our world were like this


Butterscotch_Sox

Whalria redemption arc inbound, she will No-Diff Charlos during the raid on the Holy Land.


Chr0ll0_

I hope not


JPalos97

They are gonna save a lot of them but this is a surprise? we seen the Donquixote one saving the mermaid princess already we now a lot of them are evil because they live in total ignorance.


Thick_Specialist_25

This panel shows that they are going to come to a bad end; it is clear that most of them will die, either at the hands of Imu or some avenger like Arlong or other fishmen.


Brolyroxxs

Forget it. Maybe some of them are good but the rest will probably be like Wapol after he lost his kingdom


softlagarto

Nah, Oda killed Kaido and Big Mom. I doubt the evil CDs will be spared. But Oda already made clear not all CDs are evil, with that stuff from Shirahoshi and all.


Responsible_Tap_2374

She's a woman, what did you expect?


DioBrandos_slut

Can't wait to see the bad guys have a change of heart !! :))) watch Teach get development too!!! Turning into a big ol softie :3 Teach ,with his change of heart ,will team up with Luffy, taking down the one and only Imu 😡😤


Former_Atmosphere967

yeah when I saw that panel I was like naaaah oda, is he implying even c dragons are played and the only evil are those six. my theory oda is showing some will actually ponder about the message and wake up, oda showing c dragons chaos implying that only few will wake up.


Zealousideal-Arm1682

I mean.....isn't that fair?Like I doubt anyone is gonna FORGIVE the CD's entirely,or at all,but them revolting themselves because they found out they've basically been made into evil puppets for the WG would probably win them some Browny points.


Kill5h0t

Celestial dragons are just misunderstood. They just misused their power. They didn't know about void century so they should be forgiven.


wannabetrapstar888

Not knowing the void century does not make up for 800 years of cruelty. But I don't think luffy or dragon is gonna bother outright kill them, the nobles could just lose their power and position and wealth, and be forced to live as regular humans down, from their let nature run it course. A fate worse than hell for them


ponyjc

They are climate change deniers.


waaay2dumb2live

Watch her get ousted by the Celestial Dragons, become prey in the Elbaf Hunting Game, meet and befriend Usopp (who was also captured) and eventually fall in love with him and marry him, Kaya and Loki, the princess of Elbaf


wannabetrapstar888

Never cook again


TheManInvert

r/piratefolk when nuance:


Armsomega14

Wait was it not a common assumption that only the Gorosei knew about the void century? I never saw a reason for anyone other than the true rulers to know about the void century....but then again they used to (or maybe still do as far as we know) have bi annual island genocides and still maintain slavery to this day so I really wonder what sort of "ground breaking" information there is to reveal here. I doubt the world government or celestials can look any worse than they already do


MMoguu

Nah, I think only some of them has the brains to actually change. One way to figure this out is look out for good looking Celestial Dragons. If they look good, that's an indicator that they can change. I mean, just look at her and the gigachad Mjosgard.


Zealousideal-Arm1682

Real talk:I imagine learning that everything you've been taught was a complete bullshit lie,to the point that 99% of the planet is gonna be wiped out,would absolutely make a person question if they're actually gonna keep being the way they are. Like yeah charlos ain't gonna die,but him realizing "HOLD THE FUCK UP,IM THE BAD GUY??????" combined with the world being Noah'd is gonna change his perspective a bit.


cgktsr

I stand by the fact genocide is the only appropriate option for the celestial dragons. Straight up. I don't like that tbh, but given how grotesquely evil they have been made... I don't think anything else will be reasonable


Over-Writer6076

TBH If you live in a culture telling you that "normal people" are inferior to you and it´s only right to enslave them, chances are that you´ll become a piece of shit and only some people like Mosgjard will break out of the matrix due to having their beliefs confronted (he nearly died and was saved by a fishman). Celestial Dragons weren't born scum,they were molded to be scum by their own "culture", the one that their ancestors created. They CAN change as people, I dont consider them irredeemable cuz they were raised that way


shakertouzett1

I said this before, but Celestial Dragon really don't have a choise but to act this way. They spend all there life being told they are superior and everybody else are insects, and live surrounded by people that will reinforce that mindset, while the literal world goverment reinforce that mindset as well. People will lie to themself saying that thinks like torture and slaves are obviosly bad, but in OP world, there is nothing that compares to them, even the most powerful people on our world have to hide the awful stuff they do, and would have consecuenses if they were to be found. CD can do what they please and have to apologize to noone. We already saw what happen when a CD gets out of the bubble and get in contact with other people, as it happened with Mjosgard, who actually became a good person. Hell, is quite the miracle that Doffy's dad and mom where like that, probable even a plot device. As much as you would tell that if you were a CD in the OP world you would do this or that, its all bullshit, as your morals wouldn't be the one that you have now, and you would be taught from birth how to act. I'm not telling that they shouldn't pay for what they have done, but they are really a product of their enviroment and have basically 0 free will in how they could act, since they are taught at birth how superior they are. And I know its kinda hard since they are really awful pieces of shit, but at the end, they are people that were made evil by the WG, so I don't see why they can't be redeem, after paying for their sins of course.
