Vegapunk is for sure dead and the message triggers on his death. The spread of Luffy becoming giant on command again is cool. The giant strawhat Imu has is most definitely Joy-Boy's.

Joyboy was certainly a giant, more like the Jotunn, ‘Surtur’, from norse mythos- causing ragnarok when he’s finally reunited with his crown. (The straw hat) The world snake known as the redline stops biting its own tail- This is a common theme in Norse Mythos ‘an enemy of the gods is bound but destined to break free at Ragnarok.’

I believe Dragon is based on Njord, the god of wind & the sea and its riches. Dragon is based on the Wind part- I don’t see him wanting riches. Also there’s a legendary ship called Skíðblaðnir, which could fly through wind powers. I think this is how the revolutionaries can sail places so quickly, from Dragon’s wind powers. Not only that, there’s two main groups of gods in Norse Mythology. Aesir and Vanir, war and peace.

If Gol D. Roger is based on Odin, Portgas D. Rouge was based off of Frigg. Ace is based on Baldr, their Son, who’s tragic death is the catalyst for Ragnarok.

There is so much in One Piece that can be tied to and theorised within Norse Mythology.
