Bab 497: Chapter 496 Actually?!
The conflict between Luke and the World Government appears to have been ignited by the government's attempts to capture him. Since their initial engagement, Luke has become a persistent thorn in their side, constantly unveiling their secrets without ever facing them directly. This elusive tactic has left the World Government flustered and unable to claim victory over him.
Labeling Luke as Joy Boy seems to undermine his significant, yet mysterious, role. Moreover, an intriguing puzzle emerges from the numerous videos Luke has shown; he is conspicuously absent from every clip, whether they depict the past few decades or the future. His absence raises questions about his existence and perspective, observing world events as if he were a ghost.
If Luke truly were Joy Boy, it would be odd for him to disregard Poseidon Shirahoshi in the footage, given the importance of the Straw Hat Pirates' intervention during the Fishman Island crisis according to prophecy. Despite the critical roles of Poseidon and Wano, which are closely tied to Joy Boy's legend, Luke remains indifferent to their fates.
Unlike Joy Boy, who is portrayed as a mortal engaged in worldly struggles, Luke resembles a detached deity, using the World Government as mere pawns in his complex games. The identity of Joy Boy is a subject of widespread speculation, with theories ranging from Luffy to members of the Four Emperors, the NEO Marine, or the Revolutionary Army.
Amidst this backdrop of intrigue, the world gears up for a monumental war predicted by Kozuki Oden, one that will fracture global powers and ignite fires of ambition. As Wano braces for impact, its focus is riveted on the tragic fate of their hero, Kozuki Oden, at the hands of Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido.
Despite enduring an hour in a boiling pot, Oden's ordeal ends in betrayal as Orochi breaks his promise of mercy, ordering the execution of the Nine Red Scabbards. The villagers, once swayed, rally behind Oden as he makes a final sacrifice to aid his comrades' escape, sealing his legacy.
As the scene shifts, Toki discovers Oden's predictions of a grand war splintering the world in twenty years. The future protagonists, speculated to be the alliance formed by the Straw Hat Pirates, the Heart Pirates, and others, are tasked with the daunting challenge of defeating Kaido, an event seemingly improbable given their current struggles and internal betrayals.
This alliance, while formidable, faces skepticism about their ability to overthrow Kaido at his stronghold. The mysterious value of the fruit consumed by Luffy, equated to the legendary Ope Ope no Mi, hints at untold powers that could change the course of history.
The Five Elders are particularly disturbed by Oden's prophecy. Familiar with the world's hidden truths and the extraordinary potential of Luffy's fruit, they recognize the looming threat of an awakened power capable of altering the very fabric of their controlled reality.
