Quick Links
Being the protagonists of the series, the Straw Hats ofOne Piece, through both kindness and power, have built up a large variety of allies over the years. Including things like the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, many of the Warlords, most of the Worst Generation, and much more, it seems like Luffy and his crew have some sort of special ability to inspire people to work on his side. It follows what Koby told Drake before the events of Wano, Luffy has a strange charisma that pulls others towards him, leading to him making endless number of unlikely allies.
One such friend that the Straw Hat crew made over the years is none other than Zeus, a homie who was originally one of Big Mom’s primary allies. Although the character was used mainly to give Nami a massive power-up, the living cloud may house more secrets than fans originally anticipated. Namely, Zeus may have been present during the God Valley Incident inOne Pieceand could reveal more details of the event to the Straw Hats if they asked him the right questions.
Zeus Joined Nami’s Side During The Whole Cake Island Arc
After Some Trials Zeus Became Permanently Fused With The Clima Tact
During the Whole Cake Island Arc, the audience is introduced to Big Mom and her Soul-Soul Fruit, a Devil Fruit that gave her the ability to steal the life force from people and transfer it into inanimate objects in order to bring them to life. Called Homies, these creatures act asa large portion of Big Mom’s forces, including her three main Homies: Napoleon, a living hat and sword, Zeus, a living thunderstorm, and Prometheus, a living fire, which acts as her primary weaponry. However, during the Whole Cake Island Arc, Zeus develops a taste for the weather balls produced by Nani’s Clima Tact and decides to join her side.
Will you be my servant? - Nami to Zeus
After nearly dying on Wano, Zeus has become a permanent addition to Nami’s Clima Tact, and an invaluable ally forOne Piece’sStraw Hat crewoverall. It’s interesting to note that, in the beginning, Zeus has actually been an ally of Big Mom for an incredibly long time, being made by the future Emperor as a child. This would mean that Zeus had witnessed many of the same events that Big Mom witnessed as a member of the Rocks Pirates.
Zeus Was Present With Big Mom For Most Of Her Pirating Journey
This Includes Her Time As A Member Of The Rocks Pirates
Mainly, this would mean that it’s likely that Zeus was present during the God Valley Incident and likely has moreinformation on Rocks D. Xebec’s actionsand true motivation during the conflict. Additionally, Zeus would have had a first-hand account of the battle between Xebec, Roger, and Garp, potentially revealing more information on how this infamous battle played out.
Additionally, Zeus also most likely has a lot of information on the specifics of the Rocks Pirates in general, including which pirates were a part of the crew. Plus, with Xebec being one of the most mysterious characters in the series, Zeus most likely knows his personality and major goals in the series from his time onthe Rocks Pirate crewwith Big Mom. From here, asking Zeus for more information would be an easy way for the Straw Hats to learn some information that has been hidden from theOne Piececommunity for years.
Oda May Write Out Zeus' Knowledge Of These Events
Having Zeus Explain Everything May Be Too Convenient
However, as many fans already know, Zeus isn’t the smartest character in the entire series. It seems equally as likely that Zeus may have simply forgotten about his past adventures, and along with them, his memories ofGod Valley and the Rocks Pirates. Although this seems convenient, it may be Oda’s strategy to tie up this loose end, preventing the reveal of the Xebec from being too anticlimactic.
I am Zeus, Nami’s right-hand man! - Zeus
In the end, Zeus may be an important connection betweenthe Straw Hats and the Rocks Pirates, bridging the gap between generations. Although it’s unlikely that Oda would like to reveal the information regarding Xebec this way, Zeus could always be a potential source of information on the older generation of pirates. From Xebec to Whitebeard, Zeus may have more information thanOne Piecefans initially expected.
