If I remember right, the roger crew couldn't say the truth because it wasn't time yet, right? ('cause joyboy wasn't "born" yet)
So that's why Gol ushered in the pirate age to bide time for joyboy's coming, and urge people to seek out the truth themselves
(w/c can make things more believable vs just declaring the ridiculous truth that was hidden for centuries since they would, by then, have a more personal experience with the "oddities" of their current world as a whole)
And now, the time is riping
- "joyboy" has been reborn as luffy
- more and more people have come to doubt the world gov't -> it'll be easier for them to believe that the WG has been twisting the truth/been unfairly ruling over them
Okay, I kinda get the logic behind what makes it possible...... but it just doesn't SIT RIGHT.
Maybe 'cause...... Cain was l clearly taken, well cared for, and LOVED by Agio? (How tf does he become ur "destined partner", huh?!) IDK
(Probs shouldn't judge him based on human standards/morality..... still.... so uncomfortaaaaable)
JUST WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED IN THE PAST?!
.... I don't mind not seeing Agia atm 'cause I'm fucking curious just wtf happened that turned everything to shit.
END RANT
Oh no! I completely forgot who the red heads are 0_0
What was the red haired daughter's beef w/Valia again? And what did she do?
House Vilium was the only Dukedom in the Kingdom. Now that ML won the war, he requested the title of Duke, which he tur Ed down previously. He did that so that FL wouldn't have to bow her head to anyone bc of her background. Now, she's a Duchess. Plus, House Gartt has power now and if Carnie (red head) marries into a Count's House, it would put their status lower. Especially since the Count probably doesn't hold any kind of special connection in society. Also, Carnie always thought she would marry ML and be Duchess in House Gartt. Her brother wanted her to marry that Marquess Romain to at least make a familial connection to the throne.
**Since she didn't...well, couldn't marry into House Gartt, her brother wanted wanted her to at least marry Marquess Romain to make a familial connection to the throne.
Also, ML and FL did the type of wedding (second wedding I think) where they don't make vows to an officiant, but to God himself (or Goddess....whoever it is in the story) which means they will never divorce. That type of vow is unbreakable so that really pissed off Carnie. Plus, she was a socialite in society and FL comes in and steals the limelight (without even trying). Carrie made herself and her house look like a fool. Now, bc of this, her father is just trying to marry her off and get her out of their hair and hopefully, she won't make any more trouble for the family and grow up and become a proper lady.
That.... was just effing DISTURBING of a sex scene and, for the first time in a long I don't want to know why it felt so. Only that it IS.
Also, does it mean Ian wasn't originally romantically inclinced toward Ken? And just felt so because of his connection to Vercike? Damn. How can someone be so unfortunate?
He definitely had romantic feelings towards Ken. Vercike is just being a slay pussy boss gaslighting girlboss lol
But it kind of implied that, at least at some point, he tried to suppress his feelings. So I'm not sure if Vercike is 100% trying to make Ian think he didnt have/want or if he genuinely believed that Ian thought that.
I'm taking it as Vercike is just straight up lying cause I find that funnier.
Okay so the family goes like this (in my mind):
Mukoda = mother
Feru = that cool uncle who invites his nephew to frequent (mis)adventures
Sui = child (he's SO frickin adorable)
Dora-chan = the older cousin who happily joins in the child's shenanigans and would often make it wilder than it should be
Wahehehehe~ this manga is so healing~
Hmmm..... everytime something about Shunanan's past and Estio's lineage is revealed (from a diff source), my trust in the puppet user guy somehow decreases.
Like, maybe he was telling half truths....?
I hope he's just not revealing the entire truth that he knows so that Estio can come to his own conclusion with lesser bias....?
BTW, i forgot abt the Holy Empire.... what was their deal again? Are they the congregation shunanan's leading?










They have a vampire in their midst
