I'm surprised SRW has Masako Nozawa voicing Cyclaminos but not her reprising her role as Mother Oleana.

First part out of seven for the next chapter of Apotheosis. Spoiler, for any readers.

Need a song recommendation. Trying to find a fitting one for the chapter, based on the tone established by this excerpt here:

Chapter 28: Lord of the Rotted Tower

"I am The Reaper, and death is my shadow."

- Darrow O'Lykos


The sensation penetrated everything. This feeling as pervasive as the taste of any ambrosia. Caelum Vorlesh gingerly cradled the corpse of the crow. The bird was a present from Areelu Vorlesh. The person who had given him the gift of life.

The witch who he called mamă. The Betrayer of Humanity, or rather who the witch would one day be.

The necromancer did everything that he could. He always fed the bird. He would never dare cage it. That freedom the crow had may have been an insult to anyone else, but for Caelum Vorlesh it was sacred. There would be no prison for this creature. Who he had held close to his heart.

Caelum Vorlesh had even went out of his way to learn Speak With Animals. The spell gave him the ability to converse with the warm-blooded vertebrae. The necromancer wanted to know everything. He wanted to learn from it, and what the creature would share always piqued his interest.

There was a problem. The necromancer was diligent, and always tended to every ailment the crow had, whether it was a broken wing, or a pathogen it had contracted. Caelum Vorlesh had used his magic to heal the creature.

What the necromancer could not do was best the greatest adversary of all. Death itself. Which had come with age, and the bird had perished at last. He did not know of anything. There was no spell he was capable of that could fix this problem.

It was with that realization that Caelum Vorlesh felt loss. That loss did not leave him. It stayed with the necromancer forever. It would accumulate with every death that he had witnessed.

Areelu Vorlesh could only do so much to comfort her child. The witch did not want to meddle in the affairs of the divine. It would draw the attention of unwanted guests. The witch would try anything else, but it was never enough for Caelum Vorlesh. The embrace of his mamă did not ease his torment. This affliction which continued to steal away all that he cherished. This thing called death. Which he despised above all others.

The necromancer, delved deeply into the arcane, and he became powerful. Caelum Vorlesh freed them all of this curse, but it was never enough. No, not just to bring back those he cared for. He wandered the world. He saw every corner of Golarion, and wherever he went death followed. Wherever he went that hatred would stir.

How dare this thing destroy the lives of these people! How dare it impose itself to bring tragedy to the innocent! How dare it, how dare it, how dare it! It had become his focus. The necromancer would eradicate this death. This dragon which spurned him at every turn. It would by his hand that death would die. It would by his hand that the people would be freed.

The necromancer only needed a teacher, and that is when he heard it. The Serpent calling him, and it drew him towards the person who would become his master. The Undying King. The greatest of all necromancers. The power he gained made him an enemy of Pharasma. The Lady of Graves would not forgive him. No, he had trespassed into her realm. Death was her domain.

Caelum Vorlesh knew who it was when he burned at the stake. When he watched those fools dance on his grave. Pharasma had orchestrated it all, and when he met her at last? The necromancer did what he always would. He challenged death, but this would be unlike anything he faced before.

He had lost.

The Abyss had become his home, and the demons his jailers. Their torture was agonizing. It drove him insane. Areelu Vorlesh, his mamă, would not stand for it.

The witch who was once mortal, had cast aside her humanity, and became just as these monsters. In order to save her child, and not just save him but grant his wish. Caelum Vorlesh desired the power to challenge these petulant deities.

Their rules would bind her child no more! Areelu Vorlesh would protect her treasure! Perhaps her love was perverse. Poisoned by the Abyss. What was once pure had become corrupt. The love of a mother turned towards something unseemly. The witch would destroy the world to save her son! The Worldwound was born, and from it came war!

In that war I was born.

The second son. The unwanted result of an experiment gone awry. I had seen everyone like myself die to her cruelty. Those who I would have called brother or sister, but in this crusade, I had found it: the family I had lost. The purpose I had sought. The desire I could call my own.

I became Arlan Vorlesh. I became The Knight Commander.

I could have destroyed the shadow. I could have had my revenge. I could have watched as Areelu Vorlesh lost the person she loved above all others again. Instead I had spared the specter. The shadow had become one of mine. A crusader. A soldier in my war, and in a way I was satisfied.

A childhood like I had dreamed of would never be possible, but I did not need one. If only I had these people by my side. I was a mad man. I was broken beyond repair, and I would not have it any other way! This was everything that I was, and to take it away? It would mean that Arlan Vorlesh was no more! That I was nothing!

I am my tragedy! I am my torment! I am my madness!

I am war! I am conflict! I am all of my problems!

Peace was my enemy.

If any would dare to steal that from Arlan Vorlesh? I would show them.

Everything that I entailed. The destroyer of the Abyss.

The Challenger of the Gods.

Me: Oh she's gonna give us her crackpot theories now, this should be good.
Drawk Mom: Luffy is a Sun God
Me: Huhhhh? :pepetrified
Drawk Mom: Multiple panels have shown Luffy with the Sun at his back.
Me: Well I mean he's restoring hope to people's lives and shit so, that might be a stretch (insert sweat gif).
Drawk Mom: Amaterasu (a Sun Goddess) was born from her father's left eye, Luffy has a scar under his left eye.
Me: Huh? Well I'll be God Damned.

I'm just saying she's right, Luffy's fruit in reality is the model Nika and Nika is a Sun God.
Now I'm not gonna sit and say that everything she's basing this on was intended by Oda to be foreshadowing, I'm just impressed she's able to come to this conclusion so early on. 👏
 
Happy Halloween!

I swear if whoever gets the next convo doesnt make it halloween themed. Imma yoink that thread from you IMMEDIATELY

One of hardest thing when making theories when i'm reading is because i have no clue how much the author is thinking ahead, so that minor stuff? IT might be totally a symbolism to something or not :skully

Yeah that's the thing, we can't read the author's mind to know weather or not they actually meant for something to be foreshadowing a twist or if it was just supposed to be a neat detail and it just happened to line up really well. :maybe
 
speaking of theories, i asked the ai to come up with some bullshit theory for one piece
Theory: The One Piece is a Time Reset Device, and Luffy is a Reincarnation

Background Premise:
The One Piece world is caught in an endless loop of history repeating itself. This cycle is governed by a mystical artifact known as the "One Piece," which is actually a device capable of resetting time back to a specific point in history.

The Void Century and the Device:During the Void Century, a highly advanced civilization discovered the secret to manipulating time. They created the One Piece as a fail-safe, a way to reset history in case of a cataclysmic event. However, fearing its misuse, they encoded the device to only activate under certain conditions and hid it at the end of the Grand Line.

Joy Boy’s Promise and the Ancient Kingdom:Joy Boy, from the Void Century, was actually a scientist from the ancient kingdom. He knew about the cycle and made a promise to the Fish-Men to break this cycle, using the Ancient Weapons to ensure that the One Piece could be used to create a permanent, positive change in the world, not just another reset.

The Will of D:The "D" in certain characters’ names signifies those who are inherently resistant to the effects of the time reset, retaining vague memories or feelings across cycles. They are drawn to the sea and the One Piece because, subconsciously, they know something is wrong with the world's timeline.

Luffy’s Role – A Reincarnation:Luffy is the reincarnation of a key figure from the Void Century (possibly even Joy Boy himself). His innate desire to be the Pirate King is more than just ambition; it's a deep-rooted need to fulfill a centuries-old mission.

The True History:The Poneglyphs don’t just tell the history of the Void Century; they also reveal the nature of the One Piece and its purpose. Robin's role in deciphering them becomes crucial to understanding how to use the One Piece correctly.

The Final War and the Reset:The series culminates in a massive war that threatens the world, making the use of the One Piece necessary. Luffy and his allies, including nations, other pirates, and revolutionaries, face off against the World Government and those who wish to use the One Piece for their own gain.

Breaking the Cycle:Luffy, upon reaching Raftel and discovering the truth, decides to use the One Piece to not just reset time, but to break the cycle altogether. This would create a new timeline where the world can progress without the looming threat of reset, bringing true freedom to everyone.

Aftermath:In the new timeline, the characters retain no memory of the previous cycles, but the world is inherently a better place. Luffy, not knowing why, feels a sense of fulfillment, as if he's completed a mission he wasn't even aware of.

Closing:The series ends with the Straw Hats continuing their adventure in this new world, with Luffy still as exuberant and free-spirited as ever, but now in a world where true history can be made without the shadows of the past.
