Theory on that Crimson Jimson-Weed;

So I was re-watching "To Catch a Leaf" like any good Sandy-fan when I recognised the name of the flower (Crimson Jimsonweed/Scarlet Mandala flower) being something I encountered in my horticulture/pharma studies;

You see, Jimsonweed is another name for Datura - a super-toxic nightshade flower known for it's psychoactive effects that was occasionally used in traditional Chinese medicine. A few seeds or leaves is enough to send someone into days-long potentially fatal delirium. Monk in India particularly used it to induce horror/madness in order to have a better understanding of the world.

My first thought was; "Why tf would Sandy reccomend a flower that's like a million acid trips in one?" and second "Why did LBD need it?"

According to Sandy the Crimson Jimsonweed can "influence mortality itself" - something that would be very useful if your opponent is someone who's pretty protective of their immortality. NO wonder why LBD was pissed. Huntsman "only" taking a single petal could have saved the gang's lives in the long run.

And I thought: "Cool!"

And then I was researching an au idea/theory @dorothygale123 brought up about "Shennong/The Flame Emperor/Divine Peasant" having connections to the Demon Bull King and Red Son; only to read how he (a primordial god of fire and medicine) died;

You see, after he retired/lost the godly throne, Shennong decided to put his brain and super-durable/transparent stomach to use and self-experiment on himself and document the results. He apparently got poisoned quite a lot in his research (he also discovered many ways to get high) to classify all plant life.

Ultimately Shennong died after eating a "small yellow flower" and being unable to find an antidote or "clean out his instestine" in time. Kind of a sad but expected end to the chinese mythos version of the first farmer-scientist. A rule of medicine is that anything that can heal can also kill at a certain dosage.

But the flower that killed him is up for debate. The book I have suggests it to be "Intestine-Breaking/Heartbreak Grass"(Gelsemium sempervirens). This Oxford paper suggests Tansy, an old treatment for worms. But a common theme is that the "flower of a weed" was the cause.

After my research into Jimsonweed and it's connections to mortality in Buddhism I must suggest a hidden culpurit;

This could be my mild red-colourblindness acting up; but The flower we see throughout the "To Catch a Leaf" is gotdamn yellow.

The flower that can "influence mortality itself" would be the perfect candiate for what killed the legendary Divine Peasant.

Makes sense why Sandy decided to instead brew a very small part of it into tea for MK. He likely read Shennong's research and realised that this super-rare variant of Jimsonweed *was* an amazing tonic... in the right dosage of course. Hence why Sandy didn't feed MK the whole flower.

I am back with my one braincell to talk about importance of Vivi after chapter 1054! [has spoilers]

Remember chapter 908 when the Reverie officially begins in Reverie Arc? And at the end of that chapter we learn, the five elders aka Gorosei are actually answerable, and obey someone called Imu-Sama who sits on “The Empty Throne.” The five old men kept harping about maintaining the equilibrium of the world and asked Imu-Sama which light they wanted to snub from the world this time?

Imu-sama, we find has chopped and stabbed photographs of Luffy, Shirahosi and Blackbeard, and was holding Vivi’s pictures.

Now let’s see few things World Government and Marines, aka the puppeteer behind the institutions are afraid or wary of most?

a) People with D. in their name.

b) Young/notorious people with huge influence or abilities to change opinions and circumstances with their existence.

c) People with in/famous lineage.

d) People who can call out the atrocities of the World Government publicly without caring for anything or caring too much for the greater good.

e) Someone who can make alliances and friends at drop of their hat.

Ace is/was the best example of the combination of all the above! And most probably the first light to be snubbed under Imu-sama’s orders in current timeline. Ace had D. in his name, he was lineage carrier of Roger’s will, he was young and notorious, and he didn’t play by WG rules, by refusing Warlord title he called their bull. And that boy made friends everywhere he went! Example: Shanks, Tama, Yamato, Oars and more.

Now let’s come to Vivi.

Vivi, is the last princess of the Nefertari Family. A family that was the founding royalty/mind behind the birth of the current system of governance of the world, and they are the only family out of the twenty families that refused to stay in Seichi Marijoa aka The Holy Land Mary Geoise, after the rebellion/war/collapse of society, during the void century. Nefertari family chose to stay in their homeland, giving up on the chance to play gods as celestial dragon.

For 800 years the Nefertari family has held on to the poneglyph about Pulton and guarded the secret. Their refusal to join Celestial Dragons, with information about the Pulton means, their family was automatically seen with distrust! Throw in 800 years the distrust and anxiety which got passed down from one generation of entitled celestial dragons to another, it finally evolved into full paranoia. Vibrations of that paranoia must have reached Gorosei and Imu-Sama.

I feel the reason World Government turned blind eye to Crocodile’s actions in Alabasta was simply because it was an act of waiting. They were letting Crocodile do the dirty work with the privilege of his Warlord title, and if he had succeeded in uncovering information about Pulton, they would’ve dealt with Crocodile and by extension gotten hands on Robin too.

But Vivi who went undercover as Baroque Works Pirate, met Luffy, and things changed. The secret of Pulton technically now resides with the Strawhat Crew! Vivi on other hand has flourished as People’s Leader in last two years! She cares for the country and people, and she cares for well being of commoners around the world. There are few princess we have met so far in the story, Shirahoshi is already a weapon but she is still immature about ways of the world, Rebecca is a princess but she is not changing things in her country it is Viola, Hiyori has stepped aside to let Momo take charge of Wano.

It is only Vivi who has; lineage, maturity, infamy and influence, and control over her population as a ruler proper. She has stepped up time and again to show kindness is the only way to move forward. With her friendship with Luffy, and her own capabilities at making friends; immediately after entering Marijoa, she made friends with Shirahoshi, Koby, Rebecca, reconnected with Dalton and Kureha; and tried to stop St. Charlos from abducting Shirahosi! Vivi is a threat to world government and by extension the order Imu-Sama maintains.

In chapter 1054 we learn, Newspapers are claiming Nefertari Cobra has been assassinated by Sabo, the Flame Emperor. Which is an absolute lie! We know World Government lies, they lie all the time and manipulate facts to maintain their hegemony. Things that happened in Reverie, happened on the home ground of Gorosei, so in no possible way would they share the story of Revolutionary Army entering their turf, almost killing a Celestial Dragon, freeing a Slave, leaving without getting caught is an continuous act of humiliating celestial dragons and world government royally!

Instead, while the chaos was happening; Nefertari Cobra who had asked for a private meeting with Gorosei, must have sensed or seen or heard something which might have made him act on his own.

I think arrogant Gorosei under Imu-Sama’s order must have sent assassins to kill Vivi, but Nefertari Cobra who was already ill and dying, thwarted the attempt by playing decoy or jumping in to save his daughter. The King and his men are known for disguise, remember Igram dressed as Vivi while she bid adieu to Strawhats? And older generation have offered to suffer/sacrifice for the young/future in One Piece multiple times; Jaguar D. Saul, Corazon, Pedro and more.

So what I am saying is Sabo is already on the top of infamy now, he has injured two admirals, blown up the insignia of celestial dragons, created chaos, so putting the murder charge of a Kind King on him will not seem a far fetched story.

But yes, if Nefertari Cobra asked Sabo to kill him, that’s something we could totally see as another possibility! Cobra was already sick and dying, if he chose to make his death meaningful by offering his life to the revolutionary cause to fight the oppressive World Government, then that would be even a cooler plot twist! But he may not have included his daughter in his own assassination plan. In both version of possibilities he will choose Vivi’s safety first!

As for Vivi, she is a former undercover Pirate, she was good at hiding and keeping herself undetected. Hiding or running away from World Government and tricking marines might be hard but not a herculean task for her.

Since we are heading towards the finale, Vivi must be sailing towards the Strawhats too. I am also inclined to believe she is carrying information or facts or something important that might change and turn the world upside down. We knew a reunion was bound to happen between Vivi and Strawhats; it will happen sooner than later.

Now that Shanks has casually said he is going to claim One Piece like he is going to departmental store next to his apartment to get some soft drinks, I am absolutely assured Vivi is reuniting with the crew, because in the war against the World Government Luffy might be the biggest threat to status quo, but after the war is over the face of change has to be someone with vision and kindness and the person who fits the criteria best is Vivi!

One Piece Chapter 1054 Review: Shanks pursues the One Piece

One Piece Chapter 1054, the Flame Emperor opens at the Flower Capital, where Admiral Ryokugyu attempts to capture Monkey D. Luffy. He’s blocked by the Scabbards, Shinobu, Yamato and Momonosuke. Ryokugyu’s personality originally appeared to docile but he seems to be slightly unhinged and similar to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. He screams at the Scabbards, telling them that they have “no human rights.”…
