Emporio Ivankov

...

Sanji is literally a prince, but does that mean that Ivankov also has Conqueror's Haki?

Yeah, I wanted to bring this up because, so wa- during the time skip, Zoro trained under Mihawk, so Sanji trained under Ivankov.

And if Zoro is, unbeknownst to him, learning about Conqueror's Haki through, through training with Mihawk, may- maybe Sanji was too.

Um, and that really brings up the question, like, and like this is like, when you first think about Ivankov, y- he doesn't scream Conqueror's Haki, right? He's like a zany character, [lips smack] and, you know, he's, he's got all that makeup.

He's like, he's not, he doesn't seem very serious.

Although in, you know, most recent flashbacks, we see how serious he actually is about freedom and revolution and all of that.

And he's also is, like, one of the generals of the revolutionary army.

Yeah?

You think Ivankov gonna be a conqueror?

Hey, ain't, ain't nobody ever believed in self more, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I ain't gonna lie.

Another 350 from a boy.

"Who's the strongest Eva- Ivankov beats that's not Kid?" Goat emoji.

[laughs] Who'd you say?

Yes.

Ivankov.

Yes, Ivankov's land,

yeah.

That'd be interesting because they never linger on what he learned.

Yeah.

I know Ivankov calls, calls him Croco Boy.

Yeah, yeah.

But that's the only one that I remember.

Luffy and Bon Clay reach the entrance to level four, Blazing Hell, which has hot air and smoke billowing out of it.

Bon Clay also says that the person he is trying to meet is the queen of the Kamabaka Kingdom and the idol of the Okama, Emporio Ivankov.

The two then have to defeat a Minotaurus who is chasing Buggy and Mr. 3, and they plummet down towards level four, because they just fucking do that, I guess.

As Boa leaves Impel Down, Momonga gets news that Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, took off to try to take down Whitebeard, but Shanks intervened and stopped him.

He tells them that they need to hurry to save Luffy because Luffy is his friend.

Using Hannyabal's appearance once again to access lower levels, the trio reach Luffy, who is suffering from the poison.

Searching for Ivankov, he drags Luffy around the icy floor until the two faint.

As they lose consciousness, a figure in an orange and white suit finds them.

He specifically stated to Sengoku, "Someday, a man will bear the weight of all these generations, and he will challenge this world." Mid-war, Luffy may have convinced Whitebeard that he was that man, and that's why he ordered all of the commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates to help Luffy.

It might also have a connection with what Ivankov said to Luffy, that Whitebeard was testing him, and it might be because he had a feeling that if Luffy could pull this off, he might be the one who was in the prophecy that Roger shared with him.

So when Whitebeard saw Luffy use Gear 5, he knew that everything Roger said was true and that Luffy was the one who would rebel against this world.

He ordered every single Whitebeard Pirate to help Luffy, but also didn't get in his way because his abilities as of now are unknown.

Alongside them are Germa 66 and the Kuja Pirates, aiming to aid Sanji and Luffy.

However, have you ever wondered what would happen if this occurred after Egghead? I mean, if it makes sense.

And because Ivankov and Luffy made contact during Marineford, the revolutionary army might also come.

What happens here is that they arrive after the Big Mom Pirates group, and Dragon and Saabo join Luffy and the others in fighting the Gorosei.

There is nothing more to delve into here.

To the point that we know Kuma's completely lost the rest of his personality and his mind because he doesn't even recognize Ivankov, one of his friends and people he has known for a very long time.

And we see that play out in the heartbreak for Ivankov in the middle of this war.

And it is... wow, it just touches you somewhere and it just, it hurts.

It hurts bad.

And I love Buggy.

I don't think anyone really dislikes Buggy.

And I hope that at some point he really does get to... featuring something a really important moment and i feel like he will his time is coming but the idea of them being there it's it's more like more fuel to the fire of what's happening at marine ford and obviously von kov and the revolutionary army's kind of presence there like it's it's nothing really to do with the revolutionary army this is a pirate on marine war But Ivankov is there and obviously you've got the dynamic between Ivankov and Kuma, which I've not got into.

And again, no tattoo yet.

[laughs] Um, but yeah, the freedom fighters led protests in countries around the world, and after the arrival of the great era of piracy and the tragic fall of Ohara, the group took up arms with, and with the addition of Kuma to the twin pillars of Dragon and Ivankov, they underwent a transformation and became the revolutionary army the world would later know and fear.

And that's-
