[one piece spoilers] honestly the Empty Throne is a fucking fire piece or worldbuilding
Quinneapolis
At the headquarters of the World Government, there's a throne with 20 swords in front of it
Quinneapolis
The swords represent the 20 member nations of the WG
Quinneapolis
and the throne is left forever empty to represent the equality of the 20 nations
Quinneapolis
the World Government has no king, so they serve under an empty throne
Quinneapolis
...
Quinneapolis
that's the version of the story the populace know
Quinneapolis
but when the council of elders, the highest-ranking members of the formal WG, are alone
Quinneapolis
they are sometimes visited
Quinneapolis
by the person who the throne actually belongs to
by the person who the throne actually belongs to
Quinneapolis
who all of them bow to without hesitation
Quinneapolis
the empty throne is a lie
Quinneapolis
and only the most powerful people in the government know who sits on it
Quinneapolis
"who is that" we don't know
Quinneapolis
it's Imu
Quinneapolis
we've only heard them even talk once
Quinneapolis
twice if you count that one word
