that means lapanui was there from the beginning?! It's mindblowing how every smallest threads are connected to each other

Yes, also Luffy and straw hat crew's name are written in that book, that means it's a history.
This filler arc is really amazing.

Wait. So all this time Robin was reading the book Marine!Rapanui wrote? He wrote and mentioned "Luffy Pirates" though. Did she take note of that???

the luffy pirates were mentioned in the last book, the one she didn't have

This is a good story

Ima simplify it for the sake of the 1 brain celled weebs (I'm no better)

Kids went into the mist 50 years ago, Henzo was left behind.
Henzo spent 50 years searching for a way to rescue the kids.
Henzo and Straw pirates went into the mist in the present
They came back to the present without the kids.
The kids after the incident waited for another opening and came back to their present which was 50 years ago.
They transported to an unknown island.
Grew up as marines for 50 years while Henzo was searching for a way to rescue them.
Midst the 50 years of them growing up Henzo was ignorant of their existence as marine soldiers.
Therefore, Henzo and the grown-up kids aged the same.

To sum it up 50 days after the incident (1 day in the mist = 1 year in the real world) when the kids and henzo got seperated the kids already went back to the real world and grew up as marines.

(I'm no expert, this was a half-witted explanation feel free to correct the wrongs)

and I think if rapanui and friends contacted presents henzo before henzo went in the rainbow mist, it would create a time paradox.

The kids didn't escape through another opening. The same explosion that blasted the Going merry out also blasted the kids out to that island but back in time 50 years ago.

This explains everything except for Ian who is from the past but came to the future by following Nami's rope. I am thinking maybe there are several entrances to the Rainbow Mist and to be able to go to your own time you must exit to where you came in. So in the end, the Pumpkin pirates was able to exit on a different time (50 years ago) and got washed up to an island, rescued by the Marine and wrote their Adventure.

There still more to go😥

that's actually so cool of a time-based story

can anyone tell me when does skypeia arc starts??...at which eps

WOAHHHHHH😭❤

One of the best filler arc because of the ending.

Ngl, this Rainbow Mist Arc, especially the ending was amazing.

Everything is according to my plan
-Aizen

Man actually I liked the ending especially the author of the book scenes
I had already predicted something like this would happen 3 eps ago..

all i got from the mist thing is that when u come back out youre back to your original timeline, lets say person a got in the mist at 2000 and person b got in 1900 when they come out person a will be back in 2000 and person b is back in 1900. please correct me

except you follow a thing connected to a specific timeline i guess
Because Ian followed the rope leading the the present (or future from his view)

can someone explain to me the whole mist thing? i dont get it at all T-T its like your name's timeline but a lot more complicated T-T

I'm not the best at explaining, but to me, it's..

The scientist's friends get sucked up into the mist when they were kids
The scientist's friends barely aged inside the mist
Luffy's crew and the scientist went inside the mist
After Luffy's crew and the scientist returned to the present, the kids instead got teleported into the past by 50 years and eventually all of them became Marines
They show up present day as the Marines you see here.

There are a few time travel theories/logics (I'm not using official terminology for time travel), this one seems to have one timeline, so all time travelling actions affects one timeline, I believe? Because all actions affect the same timeline, the kids are able to show up to into Luffy's present day as adults. Because the kids time travelled 50 years into the past, they would be 50 years older after 50 years have passed... I'm no expert so I might be wrong...

i still dont understand cuz we seen him before rapa nui also rapa nui said smt abt his father so i thought that was his father, i dont get it tho they come out of the mist 50 years older but they we alrdy seen them before?

I'm guessing rapa nui's dad died, also in the rainbow mist they are lots of openings to the outside world but in different time periods. Luffy and the others went through the opening of the mist in the present, while the pumpkin pirates went through an opening that the time period is fifty years ago.

I think the reason, rapa nui didn't reveal himself to Henzo was because if he did, the events that would take place in the future won't take place. Time and space is complicated lol.

Why Ian stay the same tho?

because Ian followed the rope that lead to the persent

its still a bit foggy to me, but thank youu! i appreciate it :))

i still dont get it lol even after watching for a few times

i dont get it too xd

basically time travel

before henzo said that the marines are pumpkin pirates i knew it already because of their looks lol

Bro I was saying the same thing to my siblings I thought I was so big brain lol

Funny how this filler is better than a whole main story line arabasta arc.

This was good Arc , good time travel arc ( in a way )

Well that was a nice little filler

This is my first twist that made me surprised a lot

Oda must've been on some epic sh*t to come up with this

woowoww

7:12 rolling thunder. that special move name is familiar hmmm

Interesting episode
