Spoilers for chapter 1089!
My Hole Idea! (With visual aids!)
Okay, so the biggest news (for me) this chapter was seeing a new hole form where Lulusia was destroyed. Which looks EXACTLY like the hole underneath Enies Lobby. Tons of people are theorizing about how this is supposed to work since there's a bunch of oddities happening with this hole.
One, the Hole does not close up. Two, the Hole was created 6 days AFTER Lulusia got blown up. And three, the hole is making the water level around the entire world RISE!
Can I come up with a theory that makes all three of these facts make sense? I'm sure gonna try!
You might remember me mentioning that I have a theory that the entire One Piece World is actually Hollow. I think that's where Big Mom and Kaido ended up after they got dropped into that volcano. And I think that this "Underworld" is also where Oar's Race/the Oni/the Demons are exiled to, which means they are a entire race of people who haven't been allowed to see the sun in generations. And that I think Luffy will eventually break them out of their prison, in a parallel to Impel Down.

I think this theory actually fits pretty well with what we're seeing in this chapter. Let me explain....with poorly drawn art from Powerpoint!
This is a cross section of the One Piece World, in my mind. There's a ocean on the surface. A Crust. And a second inner ocean in the center of the hollow planet. On the surface live species like the Lunarian. In the center of the planet live the Oni.
This little brown triangle represents a island. There are many of these inside and outside the surface of the planet, but we only need to show ONE for our purpose.
This is a weapon destroying that same island. It might be Uranos, or the Mother Flame, it doesn't really matter.
But notice, it not only blows up the island, but also drills a hole straight through the Crust to the inside of the planet. This means there are TONS more rock that just went into the two oceans than JUST the rock from the destroyed island. All the rock that used to be a part of the Crust is also thrown into the ocean. Causing the water level of the entire planet to rise. Like adding marbles to a glass of water.
There would also just be less total surface area for all this water to cover. Since there's a hole in the planet, the same amount of water is spread over a slightly smaller distance, this may be another cause for the water level around the world to rise.
This process probably also took some time. It MAY have taken days for the original attack to make it's way all the way to the other side of the Crust.
This also ends up linking the Inner and Outer Oceans. And if one of these oceans were "fuller" than the other, it would ALSO cause the sea level to change.
So here, we see the One Piece World after the usage of the Weapon. Notice the triangle representing the island on the bottom of the ocean. As well as the "rubble" that came from the Crust, on both sides of both oceans.
Since the two oceans are now connected, there's no way for the hole to fill up. The 6 day time difference is explained by it taking time for the attack to make it's way through the thick Crust of the planet. And the water level rose due to any difference in sea level of the Inner and Outer Oceans AND the amount of rubble and rocks that were sent to the sea floor from both the Island and Crust. I feel like this answers all three mysteries of what we see in this chapter.
A Sidenote: ....Is it possible that the "Crust" is where the World Government has been getting the Seastones? Could Imu be blowing up islands, not just to punish those who go against them, but also so they can mine a material to use against Devil Fruit users?
...I'm probably wrong, but I did my best!

Anime
The other day, I started rewatching Brave King GaoGaiGar, its just one of those series I like to come back and watch over, despite knowing how it plays out, but then a Super robot that pretty much doesn't waste time with a sword summoning and just ploughs into the enemy mech to snatch the core...

Who is...The Man Marked By Flames?
Personally, I think it could be the Oro Jackson, Gol D Roger's ship.
If the ship has a klabautermann like the Merry did, if WOULD look like a person from afar. And if the ship was damaged in a fight, it might make the klabautermann look like it has flame-scars. Plus, we never found out what happened to Roger's ship. And the ship WOULD know where the Poneglyph was, since it visited there. And we have to find out what the deal was with that giant egg on Roger's ship. And Oda HAS to payoff the klaubatermann plot SOMEHOW. Otherwise it's just a...strange but touching tangent. It being the Oro Jackson just gives a opportunity to answer a lot of questions in a single swoop.

Okay, this is going to be random, but it's been bouncing around in my mind for a while now.
I DO believe that the One Piece Treasure will end up being Bink's sake. In one form or another. I still think it COULD be Binks himself who ate the Sake-Sake Fruit...but the existence of Vasco Shot's Glug Glug Fruit DOES have me doubting that somewhat. It'd be weird to have the ultimate treasure just be a "upgraded" form of a fruit we've already seen.
But, still, IF it is Bink's Sake...what else could the Strawhats use it for?
Well, let's tie this back into my "True" Celestial Dragon theory. If the Strawhats DO end up having to journey into space in order to fight a Intergalactic Slave-Trading Dragon Empire...how could they do that?
Well...alcohol is flammable, isn't it?

So...sake could also be used...as rocket fuel!
That's right! I'm predicting the Strawhats will end up using booze to bring themselves to space! The Sunny is getting Sake-fueled Booster rockets!
...That's it. I just think that'd be a neat moment. It just feels like something One Piece would do.
