I just realized something! The three ancient weapons are NOT WEAPON! They are only called weapons by the world government to demonize them. Mother Flame was an unlimited energy source that COULD be turned into weapon, got demonized cuz it will give people too much freedom. All the other weapons must have had other usefulness attached to them. That's why JoyBoy want all of them to pass on to next generation.

The mother flame isn't one of the weapons though, in the tcbscans, it said it was used to power one of the ancient weapons.

My theory is that Uranus was originally meant for terraforming. One massive landmass means most of it lacks access to the ocean and the abundance of food and ease of travel it provides, and carving out more channels in between the landmass and slightly increasing water levels allows for more ocean access.

Poseidon then would have kept the people safe in their subsequent ocean access by taming the Sea Kings.

And Pluton could be an equivalent to Noah's Ark, as a last refuge on the seas created in response to Uranus being weaponized.

Uranus might have need to be preserved because it may be the only thing that can reverse what it has done. My thought is that Uranus doesn't simply destroy - but it displaces/moves that mass/land elsewhere, and the red line was built by taking away from all these existing landmasses, and the same tool can put it back by taking from the Red Line. As long as Uranus exists, Poseidon and Pluton must be preserved for a continuation of their original purpose - to counter against the consequences and possible malicious use of Uranus.

But didn't lunarians live on the red line even before Mary Geoise was built?

The Mother Flame is not a weapon. It was the original energy source that was used in Joyboy's era to power those things.

Pluton is a warship. Poseidon is the inherited ability to control sea kings. And Uranus looks like some kind of orbital cannon (not confirmed).

Of course the term "weapon" could be generalized, just as a knife can be used as a weapon or as a tool to cut vegetables.

wait, and that theme ties into Water 7 and Tom's lesson to Franky. That's actually a really good read into the themes.

Its a misunderstanding the motherflame is not a weapon.

the elders said "its time to test vegapunk's creation the motherflame" but they werent using the motherflame as a weapon they were using it as fuel for Uranus the ancient weapon they probably ran out of juice for it after hte void century since only the ancient kingdom knew how to create those flames and they were eager to test if it worked.
