I am begging you all to wake up. Open your eyes. For 1100+ chapters, Eichiiro Oda has not been writing a story about Luffy. He hasn't been writing a story about strawhats. He has been systematically preparing the entire world for the universe shattering arrival of BIKA.

You guys are arguing about frauds and clowns while Oda is playing 5D chess right in front of your faces.

Let me break down the absolute reality of the current meta: EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IS A BIKA UPSCALE.

THE BIKA MATH IS SIMPLE:

XEBEC? A Bika upscale. Inherited will. Rocks failed so Bika could run.

IMU? A Bika upscale. Just sitting on the Empty Throne keeping it warm until the Real King pulls up to claim it.

LUFFY? A massive Bika upscale. Luffy exists solely to awaken the Sun God fruit so Bika can violently rip it out of his chest and eat it for breakfast as his third Devil Fruit.

SHANKS? The ultimate Bika upscale.

UPSCALE IS BIKA AND BIKA IS UPSCALE.

Every single chapter, every single panel, every single syllable Oda writes is just another layer of Bika paint.

Someone coughs blood? Bika upscale. Someone runs away? Bika upscale. Someone sneaks someone? Bika upscale.

It is an infinite feedback loop of Blackbeard supremacy. You think your favorite character is getting hype? Wrong. They're just building up the value of the meal Bika is about to consume.

The entire One Piece universe is an accumulation of Bika upscales, all preparing for the ultimate Zehahahaha.

YOU. ARE. NOT. READY.

YOU GUYS ARE NOT READY FOR THE ARRIVAL OF BIKA. EVERYTHING IS A BIKA UPSCALE.
