Why do people still think Monet didn't throw the note?

It's pretty freaking obvious when you see how Oda set up the mystery and left her conspicuously hidden behind the text in the spot where it came from...

What possible reason could Monet have for giving Chopper a note?

It was obviously Law using his teleportation.

shurororororo shurororororo that's some gomu gomu no headcannon there guy

>It was obviously Law using his teleportation.

It'd be weird that Monet threw the note, since for the rest of the arc she was pretty unscrupulous about killing everyone in the island, Choppe and kids included. So yes, it's probably Law.

Law had his hands full. Literally.
Meanwhile, Monet had the quill and paper as visible chekov's guns for the note. And she was standing in the right spot, and then let Chopper go after noticing him.
And if it was Law using teleportation, and also writing with his mind at the same time, why not tell anyone? Or even make it a mystery in the first place? Even two chapters later, Chopper hasn't a clue who threw it, and the very next panel is Monet.
Except she doesn't. She just stays with Caesar until the fight with Luffy is concluded. Then the rest of her attacks are just block this door/lock this in/stop this attack. She only talks about murder when there's a button to do so, and then she's wasting time wondering if something else will do it for her.

>What possible reason could Monet have for giving Chopper a note?
I can't answer that without speculation. But, what possible reason is there for it to even remain a mystery unless the reason is itself a later twist? Law breaks out of his chains two pages later, and yet two chapters after Chopper is still like 'well who threw that note?' It wouldn't make sense to leave it up to speculation still. And why did Monet let Chopper go?

>I can't answer that without speculation
Okay faggot, speculate.

>and then she's wasting time wondering if something else will do it for her.
Pretty sure that's not how it happened and she was clearly about to do it in the end.

After getting the message from Doflamingo to blow up the facility, Monet was already on her way to press the button. Then after the talk she sits there waiting to do it, and even lets Vergo have a goodbye on the radio. I think the 'why' is because of what Doflamingo said to her about 'the youngsters'. I have the VIZ translation, he says 'these kids' too, so it's not just a translation issue, he means the pirates.

My speculation is that all of this was done to save the kids who'd been poisoned.

>Law had his hands full. Literally.
What do his hands have to do with anything?

Moving an object around with your powers is one thing. Gathering the pen and paper and either writing it with your hands behind your back locked up, or worse with your powers where you can't see it, is another. AND he's supposedly doing that while trying to pick the lock of his handcuffs. And if Law's so masterful with his powers, there'd never have been a moment where he got his freaking arm chopped off.

Dude its been like 2 fucking years of this bullshit, just stop.

>What proof is there that Monet wanted to save the kids?

-Not going after Chopper when she clearly noticed him heading towards them
-Actively telling the children the truth about what was going on instead of lying, which at this point would have made things more complicated since they thought they could still control the situation and hold Punk Hazard
-Not using any of the kids as a bargaining tool in her battles, despite tactical advantage in the Biscuits Room
-throwing up walls and barriers than actively finishing the fight
-going straight for the bomb to blow up the building, but then calling Doflamingo first. Hesitation, a reassuring command from her boss?
-She doesn't just set off the bomb instead of waiting for the SAD room to blow up, and a good amount of time to pass before attempting to press the button, while every second passing the kids get closer to escaping out of the R passageway

Monet had a faster chance to get to the C building than any of the actors, and her plan from the beginning is apparently to stop the children from escaping... except no one told her to do that. Her demands were to protect Caesar, from Chapter 682. And Dofla's going on and on about the SAD room being important. She had Luffy trapped, why not give Caesar an escort out? Or go aid Vergo? Why go to the one place the facility COULD afford to lose?

Later we find out the drug is for Big Mom's research, but again, why is that a devoted subject of Doflamingo's problem? He wasn't getting anywhere with it, he admitted that, and it's not like the children were a scientific success or proof of anything. If the situation's put under control, none of the pressuring circumstances that escalated everything would happen. Monet had no reason to go get the kids.

Forgot updated version.

Five actually, but who's counting?

I don't believe you

>AND he's supposedly doing that while trying to pick the lock of his handcuffs
Why would he try to do that, the handcuffs weren't seastones. Pay attention.

I started with talking about the sea rabbits all the way back in Chapter 700. And that came out in March 2013. Not exactly five years, but definitely more than two.

Hell back on Plus4chan, we'd only seen a silhouette, and I'd had a nakama pattern theory on how she was the new Strawhat. We didn't even have a name for her yet. So that's even further back. February 2012.

What are you talking about? Of course they weren't, he's picking them with his mind, that's the point.

Do you know what picking a lock requires? It involves pressing the correct sequence of a set of tumblers inside of hole to move the bolt. Law's doing that with his powers. And most locks have a couple tumblers, so he's fiddling with two, three, four little sensitive bits in a lock and turning it, while also writing a note, crumpling it up, and throwing it with his mind. All without looking at any of it while he does it or using muscle memory to gauge differences in length and distance. Which, I would possibly believe in the super autist dexterity powers of a supergod, if we also didn't have happen.

Manga is a visual medium. You show people what you're doing unless you're trying to hide it and for some sort of Ocean's 11 style mixup like that, you'd expect a fucking montage. But no, we're just led to imagine Law is super movemaster 6000, implicitly mind you, instead of just, fucking nothing.

Why crumple the note up if you can move it about with your mind? Why not sign the fucking thing? Why go through all the steps to make it appear to come from Monet's direction, crumpled up to be thrown over? Why leave any ambiguity?

See how it requires more and more steps, and more and more questions to avoid the practical answer? Monet had the Quill.
Monet had the Paper.
Monet was in place to have thrown it from where it came from.
And Monet saw Chopper running away, indicating an acknowledgement of his presence.

WHY Monet threw the note is a good question, and I'll admit, we don't have concrete answers to that. But when all the parts of that riddle are still in the story, (Caesar, the giant candy, the bestiary chekov's gun with Punk Hazard residents) there's no question of whether this matters or not. The kids are still going to Vegapunk, the story isn't done with them. All of the pieces that are left hanging revolve around her, and her actions, and her moved heart, and her rabbits appearing in the sea. All these missing threads have one blindingly obvious, albeit unexplained answer; Monet is connected to it all, and she's still alive, still out there and still has a role to play in the story.

>WHY Monet threw the note is a good question
It's the only question that matters.

Unless you can come up with a plausible explanation, the idea that she threw the note is ludicrous.

Except everytime I get into speculation, people go 'lol headcanon' and then it's ignored. The reason it's a why is because we don't have all the facts, and we know we don't have all the facts because there's all the setup for a big stinking 'why'. It's a circular loop that, unless I get the benefit of being able to speculate, we can't get beyond.

Believe me, I HAVE theories as to the why, but I don't get too deep because it requires giving that benefit of exploring the assumption. If you're willing to do that, I'll tell you deeper than what I said here, But I need that promise of a fair examination first.

Just post your fanfiction you drama queen.

Alright fine.

The reason why is because she felt guilty about what she was doing, and knew that this could be a way to set things right.

>what we know
Monet and Sugar were rescued when they were 17 and 9 by Doflamingo from an unfortunate environment. They immediately pledged their lives, and ate devil fruits that gave them the powers they have now. Oda's SBS quote makes it clear that the environment is a major reason why Dofla took them in and gave them the tasks they had. Monet's initial task was to infiltrate the Dressrosa Palace and help in the usurping of the king for Doflamingo to take over. She then moved to Punk Hazard to help Caesar with his experiments, and gave Law her heart on Caesar's orders as an insurance policy, before her arms and legs changed. It's stated on the wiki that Law changed her arms and legs, but we're never given a direct line that that happened, only led to logically assume it.
>why did they pledge their lives to him
Charismatic leaders like Doflamingo usually win the hearts and minds of people by affecting their paradigms, and both of them are intensely loyal to him, despite Monet's position being so expendable, as she proclaims to Luffy. Monet and Sugar also have a collection of astronomy equipment. Books on eclipses, Sugar's sunglass covering one eye (keeping one eye dialated is a usual tactic of astronomers for observing in telescopes for long periods of time in different light situations), telescopes in the office that Caesar has no use for, etc. Given the symbolism of the Celestial Dragons with their suits, the ties Doflamingo has to them, the Moon being such a big symbol in One Piece already, and the Red Poneglyph charts leading to the island of Raftel, there's a general conclusion to draw here: Whatever the secrets of Raftel are, they involve celestial bodies such as the Moon, and this path isn't just leading to an island, it's leading to an island that can become important DURING an eclipse...

>why does any of that matter?
Well it shows that Monet and Sugar are astronomers for Doflamingo, looking for some big event in the future as a minor sub-task. And he made sure they'd care because it's part of what defined them as the Doflamingo loyalists. When the Arabasta arc was going on, Chopper was awestruck at the starry sky in the desert night. Being from a winter island, he'd never seen a full sky, just a few stars before. Most likely, Monet and Sugar had a similar circumstance. It could be that they grew up in a winter island, but my guess is that they weren't even that unlucky. They were medical test subjects.
>why would you think that?
Doflamingo's goal was eternal life, and it still is to some extent. Losing the Ope Ope no Mi was a setback but it didn't stop him from going after the position he had. And interaction with medical technologies would put him in connection with Caesar, and by extension Big Mom and Kaidou. It would also mean he'd run into situations with medical experiments, which could be the unfortunate environment that Monet and Sugar came from. He bought them, and took them outside to see the stars for the first time in their lives. And then he gave them devil fruits and they swore their lives to him. The fruits too are important, that's part of what changed them, because it was also a reason they separated from their past lives.
>why would you think THAT?
Because Monet and Sugar aren't human. They're harpies.
>what? Law gave her her wings, the Punk Hazard creatures are medical experiments
Yeah, but where are all the other harpies? Did they just have one bird lying around? She just liked birds that much to read a book about them? She was learning what she was.
>what proof do you have of that
What age do Mermaids have to be for their tails to split so they can walk on land? 30. How old is Monet? 30. How old was she when Law came over. 28. Her wings and legs hadn't grown in. We've assumed Law fixed her up, but it's a misdirection.

>well what the fuck is the point of that
Why would Monet and Sugar be medical test subjects? Why would Doflamingo run into them looking for immortality? Harpies by legend, are immortal. Not eternally youthful, and they didn't heal properly and grew horrid scarrification from damage to themselves, but immortal. And as medical subjects, they can endure a LOT worse than their human slave counterparts. The World Government is full of horrors, slave bridges to nowhere, open caste systems, perversions and corruption everywhere. Is it really so nihilist to imagine that they captured a rare species of creature to keep as an experimental plaything?
>why wouldn't Caesar know what she is
Because Caesar's an idiot. No, but really, different fields, different classes, different medicine.
>but what does this have to do with the fruits?
What do the fruits do? One allows the user to become logia, and very impervious to physical harm. The other lets them live forever as a young child. Both cover up the harpy part of themselves. Both mean that they could live forever undetected and have a different lot in life.
>but Dofla told Monet to die, how could she die if she was immortal?
What's death but lack of consciousness? Monet would probably be able to be salvaged, but the explosion would take her out of the game for life. She'd be a half-sentient puddle of a person if she was even left over. A stab to the heart though? She could get through that.
>but wait, what does any of THAT have to do with Monet throwing the note?
The context of why she did what she did.

Monet's life of devotion had been because Doflamingo had given her a new lot in life, and a new reason to believe in someone. She thought her captain was going to be the Pirate King, and she'd never be back where she was. Taking out a kingdom? Working on medical experiments? That was easy to swallow for her master. Except, 13 years down the road, and the context she'd had, it had started to get harder. Her abilities were emerging, her task of protecting an asset had become a repeat of doing to children what was done to her too. And Monet's expression outwardly may have been coy teasing and sadistic glee, but her actions gave her another angle.

She couldn't disobey her master, but in regards to an experiment that had nothing to do with Dofla? Just the greedy ambitions of a mad scientist? Monet couldn't keep pretending she was okay with it. And in comes the Strawhats talking about mixing things up. Caesar can't be allowed to escape, and things need to be taken care of, but this experiment? Maybe if the kids just get away, it wouldn't be so bad. And yet, the chance to heal them could be ruined if Chopper is discovered. So one quick note should be enough.

Scare the kids a bit, reveal the truth, and let them run. Then either secure or blow up the facility when the kids have escaped, hide the truth and let Caesar get secured by the team. When they couldn't secure it, just blow it up. She didn't want to have to die, but she hadn't a choice when failure was what was left. She couldn't just do it though, she needed to call her Captain again, and that cemented her resolve to let this little sin against him be cleansed. At least, in her plans...

Monet intended to use the chaos to let the children escape in some fashion, and throwing the note was part of that. She still felt for her captain, though, and didn't want to abandon his goals. So she acted with enough ambiguity to cover her tracks, and later on failure with absolution to repent for it. When Dofla said, get rid of the kids, though, it shook her. He meant the new generation, but she wasn't thinking about them.

That rebellion is the first step of Monet's change of heart. The God-Captain's falliable, and he broke his promise to her for a new life. She's fine with it now, but all these islands later, all the schemes she'll have to do to try and salvage what's left? It's going to break her harder.

This is why she's gonna join them. The Strawhat characters join in patterns, and the girls join from villainous factions for different reasons.
Nami joined from being an unwilling but committed asset to Arlong's crew, and finding a new family of pirates to trust.
Robin came from Baroque Works which she joined in convenience as a long line of personal use, and found a new reason to live in a family of pirates.
Monet is similar in her connection, but different in that she isn't just with villains, she buys their swill. She's devoted to Doflamingo first, and her actions are going to be about working to free him, until being in a new family is going to affect her. She's going to reexamine the loops she has to go through to live with her actions, and what sort of ambitions Dofla had, and how they align and differ with Luffy. Monet's going to be a character that learns what a real pirate family is, not one built out of cultish devotion.

There. That's why I don't go over the omnitheory, it involves speculation territory in a big way, and it can be dismissed with 'but that's just headcanon' instead of examining why it wouldn't work as a hypothetical answer. I just want acknowledgement of how it ties up all these issues. Can't you fucks give me that?

what have you done

tl;dr

...

>five years
bruh

Monetfags.

Move on. She isn't coming back.

Then why did the heart move?

Because the writer is a hack.

I think that's more of an artist issue if it really meant nothing.
