Yep. I'd also interpret her "blandness" as her being introverted. She doesn't speak much and doesn't draw much attention to herself because her hard life has taught her to keep to quiet. Watching her slowly change and embrace the crew's silliness has been excellent.

That's closer to her before Water Seven. After being saved she's grown a few new traits such as being almost utterly fearless, her love of things both cute and morbid and a few other little traits here and there.

Funny you mention zoro because out of all by the strawhats he seems the most bland(after the timeskip) Robin on the other hand has greatly improved as time goes on as she suppose to its part of her character

Blackbeard finds One Piece before Luffy? What are you thinking? That would be terrible! We wait decades to see Luffy achieve his dream and find one piece and BB gets it first? HELL NO. Luffy and crew fight Blackbeard and crew when they arrive on Raftel for a final showdown and THEN Luffy and co find One Piece. You also forgot that Luffy will likely get a terminal disease and it's Chopper's job to save his life. I also don't expect One Piece to end when they finally get One Piece. I expect it to be a massive weapon and Luffy will lead the revolutionaries and all pirates against the WG and usher a new age.

I don't know why i feel Raftel isn't a desolated island and there will be 1 figure waiting for them, there, to explain shit.
I bet that's when we'll meet Vegapunk and we'll know finally the intricacies of Devil Fruits and how are they connected with everything.

So....
Oden talking with Crocus?
My thoughts exactly
This outfit looks similar to the what the guy was wearing in Skypia.
Here's the color version though

It's pretty clear Jack is for Zoro to take out since he has a blade. Kaido is for Luffy.

Guys, who is the only major character who Roger would have trusted with the final Road Glyph if he didn't want a new world pirate to see it?
Garp
That is also another thought I had.
whitebeard would be a better choice. he would have the power to protect it and choose somebody worthy to give it to. we know for a fact that roger told whitebeard about the void century and the will of D. we do not know if roger ever told garp about it.
If Shanks has the final one, then he is marked for death
That would be pretty crazy and might just explain why we haven't seen him for a while.
Lol it could happen like that too. I just figured making it an uphill battle for Luffy and for Blackbeard to obtain it in a chickenshit way would make more sense for the climax of the series. Plus if One Piece turns out to be something that gievs you great power, it would make Blackbeard an even stronger final opponent I feel.

Why was Shanks hanging out in Garp's home port anyway? It appears that it was where Dragon was raised as well since he seemed familiar with it in the flashback. Thing could even be hidden on Dawn Island.

Inb4 anyone says missing Road Glyph is in Impel Down
No way do they go back there. It'll either be somewhere in the New World or on Mariejois.

Sorry I just want Bon Clay to join the crew so badly lol
Shanks has been marked for death since day one.
That said, I am surprised that both (Naruto spoilers I guess)
Kakashi and Iruka survived the Naruto manga.
Whatever Road Poneglyph is on the path they already covered, it can be recovered with a transcription of the same; I really doubt they will go backwards on the Grand Line, except maybe to destroy Fishman Island, but that probably will happen once they actually find the One Piece.

Pretty sure that's Shiki from Strong World. We know he exists in the canon, and the colors and silhouette match up too

Isn't there already a hidden Poneglyph in Impel Down?
One Piece 818:
Definitely glad Oda held off on revealing what was on the Red Poneglyph until this chapter as the info dump was more than worth it, especially the Pirate King discussion. I was kind of hoping we'd be rid of the Samurai characters soon, although I guess when Luffy goes to rescue Sanji we will have a break from them for a couple of months. Still, the question remains on where the rest of the Straw Hats are going to go in the mean time. Will they wait somewhere for Luffy to return with Sanji or will they enter Wano country ahead of time to begin Law's plan to take down Kaidou? I'm still kind of hoping they'll all go with Luffy to keep the crew from splitting up, but with so much hype towards Kaidou, including this chapter, I just can't see them doing anything major against Big Mom right now other than sneaking Sanji out.
As for the last Poneglyph speculation, I'm going to take a guess and say either Dragon or Shanks has it and/or info to where it is, and Blackbeard will get it from one of them, giving Luffy even more reasons to take down Blackbeard.

that's a good observation but I don't know if Crocus would be sharing Sake with him as if they are old friends.
Supposedly according to theories, the picture in the manga was vague & I saw the picture in the anime & it didn't look like one.

No chill, internet.
Doesn't that just lead to Captain John's treasure?
Inb4 Captain John had the last poneglyph.
One Piece 818:
Thinking a bit more about the chapter, I know I'm being too critical, but I'm hoping Oda will introduce an additional character or two who can read the Poneglyphs and/or characters who have other ways of figuring out what's on them without needing to read them. Robin finding out the history of the world by reading Poneglyphs was one thing and it was easier to accept Robin as being the sole person who could uncover the Void Century. But Robin essentially being the key to finding One Piece and not one pirate, especially Yonkou like Kaidou and Big Mom with enough knowledge and resources to know who she is, ever trying to come after her/leaving her with the Straw Hats this entire time seems like a big "blunder" for every pirate trying to become the Pirate King, especially considering what could have happened if Luffy failed to rescue her during Enes Lobby.

That's what I'm thinking. What if that was his big treasure. Buggy obviously hasn't been able to use it yet, I think we'd know if he had been able to read the map. At some point between Roger reading the ponyglyph and now, it got lost to time. What if Captain John got his hands on it and then died before he was able to use it? That would also explain where it went. Right now we have a few options and no way to narrow it down.
We don't know how many people realize those in Ohara could read them or when everyone figured out how Roger made it to Raftel. It could be a development from during the 2-year timeskip.
roger figured everything out without the help of anybody who could read the poneglyphs. perhaps hearing the voice of all things is something roger thought the next pirate king would have. i wonder how kaido and big mom found out what the red poneglyphs mean. did those poneglyphs also have guardians? maybe some on rogers crew talked or were tortured for information on one piece just like momo's dad.
Could be someone from Whitebeard's crew let it slip after he died in an attempt to get in good with the Yonkou.

Get Inside Her!
Oden traveled with Roger, and he could read them. All this time, there were actually two people who could read them, Oden and Robin. Only recently has that number dropped to one.
Now I dunno if he's the only reason Roger made it, but it's something to consider.
well the knowledge on how to write on the stones and how to decipher them was passed down but that doesn't mean he actually knew how to read them. we don't know the conditions for deciphering them. i can't imagine the people who had them create the poneglyphs would make it that easy to read them. same reason why they had them create 4 road poneglyphs to point them to raftel. they had to make a bunch of safeguards so the information wouldn't fall into the wrong hands

So how much time is left in the manga? About 10 years?
each emperor will likely take as long as dressrosa if not double. wonder if luffy will defeat them back to back or will luffy end up defeating an admiral in between that as well.
Tathanen
Get Inside Her!
I dunno, they said it pretty plainly. RE: "do you know know what's written on em," "That knowledge was never passed on to future generations! The contents of the stone can only be made known by reading them! However, what was passed on was the means to read and write the ancient glyphs." No mention of a built in code or cipher or anything, just that the only reason they don't know what's written is that they haven't gone to them and read them.
The knowledge is passed down to only a single individual per generation, guarded within an extremely powerful nation that not even the World Government dares to mess with. There's no point in encoding a secret history on these blocks if no one also passes down the key, that's the role of the Kozuki Lord. Clearly Kaido had the necessary balls to invade, though only likely successful due to betrayal by the Shogun. This ability to read the language would only be valuable and worth pursuing if it would actually be applicable towards deciphering the poneglyphs.
So yeah, I wager Oden coulda read em same as Robin.

Well Doflamingo saod he knows about the national treasure of Mariejoa, I fully expect it to be 1 Road poneglyph.
Maybe Doflamibgo was/is the one knowing where all are but just waited for the right time to strike; he built alliances with both emperors or even all underground pirates.

Yep, I think the last Poneglyph is in the Marine's / WG possession. And Doflamingo wanted to get close to the Yonkous to get his dirty hands on them.
I'm expecting the next arc will be "Rescue Sanji and acquire the second Poneglyph while we are there!". Also, one of the two remaining Yonkous (I'm thinking BM) should become Luffy's ally so he can have two big guys at his side (Shanks and the other one).

You need to re-read the chapter. They flat out say Oden could read it.

Wasn't it said before that Roger could read the Poneglyph because of the voice of all things and not because of book learning? That's why Robin could have a different insight into them.
My theory is that Momo and Oden's family have the ability to hear the voice of all things. And that the people who cut the poneglyphs, his retainers, have the ability to hear the breath of all things like Zoro. The only thing I have to back this up is how shocked the Samurai were when they saw Zoro's big attack in Dressrosa. He was using their secret clan technique.

It seems the Yonko are really trying to step up their alliance gang in this new era.
Kaido is with Wano and Big Mom has the Vinsmoke family. Shanks so far hasn't been shown to be allied with anyone although I wouldn't put it past him to end up allies with the the remaining Whitebeard pirates. Blackbeard is with Aokiji right now.
I have a feeling Blackbeard is gonna try and partner up with the Revolutionaries in order to get more power at this point.

yeah blackbeard seems to be the one maybe falling behind. don't know why dragon would team up with him though. the revolutionaries don't really have much to gain by getting involved with pirates. maybe blackbeard wants the emperors to go to war so he can step in at an opportune time and wipe them out. perhaps the one blackbeard teams up with is akainu. i know it sounds crazy but akainu seems like he might be up for it if it meant taking down another emperor and extending his power further into the new world. aokiji might even be the one that helps set up this alliance.

I have a feeling Blackbeard wants to manipulate the Revolutionaries into attacking another Yonko or the World Government itself. He'll probably blackmail them with the Revolutinary HQ location. I honestly don't see Akainu working with pirates though. He's fine with manipulating but I feel his pride would prevent him from even thinking of siding with them.
