Why Noland Didn't Smile! A Blunder WORSE Than Lily's!

I too would be in state of despair if I had that haircut

The former leader of the skypieans mentioned being friends with Roger.

The Bell also had Gol D Rogers mustache. Never noticed all these details before :D great vid!

Man love we’re looking at Nolan more, he’s gotta have a huge part to play in the grand story, surely

Skypiea is my favorite one of the reasons is because of Noland and Calgara's story, this is such a great analysis!

I have never thought about that but: The Shandians were absolute master builders: Calgara's house was cut in half and yet it's abandoned remains stood tall for 400 years. That's incredible. Especially as it isn't a massive solid stone structure like the sacrifical altar. The walls are actually rather thin.
I have a genuine question:
Why are we always talk about Brook as proof of the existence of the soul in One Piece? And not talk about Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit?
And before you say: "Well, that's a Devilfruit, so..." Why is Brook still in this world again?

I know that's a minor detail in this video specifically but it just annoys me overall.

Before the strawhats the shandians didn't know abt the bell

Awesome video, sadly i never red the manga and only saw the anime it seems there was some more stuff there.
also yeah i love the boss characters that are not affiliated with anyone.
in my fan story of one piece there are such people!
it also makes the world seem bigger.
like mihawk (if not part of the 7 warlords), hercules, noland and more!

Noland was a idiot to.
What did he thinked would happens, by telling about the city.
Or, when he had to take the king and his soldiers to the city?


Someone like him should have knowed, that nothing aside of bad things can happens, when the gold city was mentioned (or, was he allready in a inner conflict)😊

w video

Whats the music used throughout the intro?

Noland has to one of the key characters in one piece he the goat

This is why you never should skip Skypia

Something to note I feel, the true leader of the world government is a secret even to the world leaders. They have the motivation to keep the poneglyphs forever unfound, even by their own side as that would bring their own presence closer to being discovered.

A story I never knew of, thank you

roger could have just massacred his way through skypiea. he was the king of the PIRATES. so maybe thats why oda didnt want you seeing their relation cause it was raider and raidee

Ussoland and Noland naming scheme.

Lol atheists making point by one piece

Music and spirituality have always held hands the Tibetan monks believe thru chants and montras they can levitate objects and prayers are rhythmic in nature because it puts people's emotions at ease so I definitely can see the bells vibrations and tone could be believed to be linked to God also Christianity believes the rapture will be signaled with the bells of heaven tolling

I am fisher tyga

Noland is basically Usopp without plot armor

One of the flashback/history in One Piece I read again and again... My favorite character besides the Strawhat

So if Noland is an inverse on Roger does that mean Roger is the liar. So he didn't find one piece he just said it to spurn a generation, hoping someone would find it?

Yo you should take down this awful video

If he was later he could have been a strawhat

Rodger didn't meet the shandian I belive because it was gonfall who ruled upper yard during Rodgers era

“Roger had to be friends with the skypians” i mean, gonfall literally said he had a pirate friend from the blue sea twenty years ago

Remember how foolish i was to think this was a filler arc, 9 years later, only understanding what a treasure of a lore arc this was

I think Noland might be very inspired by Fernão Mendes Pinto, a Portuguese explorer. Who traveled the world in the 1500s and when came back to Portugal was called a liar. There is even a a joke created with his name "Fernão Mentes? Minto!" wich means "Fernão, do you lie? I lie!"
Nowadays we know that the stories he told, about the lands, people, creatures he saw, and traditions were actually true, some of the things are describes in a strange way, but if you think a bit you might find out what it actually is.

I said it before. Nolan was the joy boy of his era

Book: :D (he died laughing)
Reality: 😢 (died crying wondering where his friend went)

Noland and kalgara’s tragedy will always be my favorite flashback

I still say Noland's death is good for Jaya. Stuck in 3 ways civil war for centuries is better than got robbed by Conquistador a World Government.

More than a pirate he is a BAD ASS EXPLORER

The "snakes" or "eels" on the golden bell are actually whales

What if the nika fruit was in the trees and couldn’t reincarnated until someone cut the trees

Okay I didn't watch the full video so maybe you mentioned this, but Noland as far as we know, wasn't a D. It's the Ds who smile upon death, not just important characters... anyways Im tired im going to bed sorry if I said something stupid

This is amazing.

Noland and Kalgara really hit home for me on a personal level.
I'm a firm believer in scientific progress, and as an atheist I can see how people who cling to their religion can slow, halt, or even regress progress for what I find to be foolish reasons.

Seeing Noland and Kalgara respecting one another, and both learning from the other's cultures to progress together is so god damn inspiring, and eventually tragic as hell.
Every time I read, or watch, or anything this backstory I tear up so hard, because it's themes are just so wonderfully executed by Oda, paired with the rest of the Saga's stakes and all.

People may say Skypiea's boring on the first go, but I still love the arc for the thematic elements that are present, both in the moment and in hindsight.

the Skypeans didn't let Roger scribble on the belfry, because at the time no one except Roger knew it was up on Giant Jack

So the bell calls out to people who have potential to hear the "voice of all things". A power the people of the island no longer have, so they can't hear the sea kings. Makes sense. The existence of the "three-eye tribes" suggests that at some time there might have been much more numerous people who could hear the voice.

All this just tells me that Skypia is just overhated. 😭

There's one simple reason that Noland didn't die with a smile on his face the way the others you named did. That is a trait specifically belonging to the D tribe, of which Noland was not a part.

much like Gol D Roger (Gold Roger) if we follow this theory he is Nolan D Montblanc (Noland Montblanc)

Calling it now - Rocks D Xebec is the descendent of Noland, and Usopps Grandfather.
