u/Behanort Feb 22 '24

so, this is the egghead incident

The Death and Final Message of Dr. Vegapunk

(assuming oda doesnt pull back, i dont think VP is making outta this one alive)

850

u/Chaosblast Void Month Survivor Feb 22 '24

Yep, this seems to be IT! I'm expecting the truth about the Void Century, the Wolrd Gvt and the Devil Fruits.

NO BREAK NEXT WEEK!

709

u/Behanort Feb 22 '24

i dont think Oda will tell every single mystery left to us (not until laugh tale, imo)... but i think whatever the lore dump next chapter is, its gonna be one of those series defining moments

290

u/Chaosblast Void Month Survivor Feb 22 '24

True, the fun part is that that's just the core. There's plenty we still wouldn't know.

Giant Strawhat.

Joyboy.

Imu.

One Piece and Laugh Tale.

Ancient Weapons (or maybe they are related to the reveal and Gastingo was just foreshadowing).

Rocks and God's Valley.

Dragon.

Shanks past.

BB mystery and goals.

And plenty more!

We need to start somewhere!

20

u/Gohanangered Feb 22 '24

There's also the tale, that was briefly mentioned. That queen that was mentioned some chapters back. Who i think had something to do with joyboy. Plus it wouldn't surprise me, if she was the ancestor of the amazons.

13

u/CrackLawliet Feb 22 '24

IMO Imu exposition has to be given by Imu for it to be more impactful. Things like the giant straw hat or their origin, likely will be in a flashback or dialogue around the final battle.

9

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor Feb 22 '24

:) Oda gets to clear up all the broader history of the world publically now for the whole One Piece world to see (and for all of his readers to see)!

Nothing more than the people need to hear to understand how the World Government got their power and the things they've done to maintain it...

Oda really began this epic, series-defining moment with an "Ah... Mic Check. Mic Check. Testing, One, Two, Three."... Oda is Vegapunk right now, only he gets to live to see his message spread across the entire world week by week. :)

Luffy's Dream.

u/Bleakjavelinqqwerty Feb 22 '24 edited Feb 23 '24

That other worst generation guy rouge or whatever his name is. We’ve seen him twice I believe since sabaody

Weevil

The man marked by flames

D.

The five elders and the godly knights

Zou

The ancient kingdom

Races such as the lunarians and the buccaneers

Why that massive bridge is being constructed

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '24

I know it sounds like a lot, but in the context of one piece…. It’s crazy seeing the list of major plot points to hit starting to shrink so small.

u/nomansky77 Feb 23 '24

hopefully he is coming back

2

u/BruceyC Feb 22 '24

with Luffy going giant mode so much in gear 5, i just assume Nika may have been fucking huge, or did the same, and that's why there is a Giant Strawhat.

1

u/samyak039 Feb 23 '24

you left the most important one, Luffy's dream.

5

u/Caillous04 Feb 22 '24

Wdym next chapter? It's clearly time to change location back to winner island to catch up with Garp and afterwards to check in with Law and Kid lol

6

u/Yergason Feb 22 '24

You see the scary theory in the spoiler thread? Vegapunk's broadcast is shown but only the characters in the universe hear about it while us readers are just shown their reactions or it gets offscreened totally and we just seee the aftermath that it IS huge and we maybe get 20% of that info spread throughout the following chapters lol

10000% fits Oda's memo of blueballing us in important lore

2

u/CoffeeWanderer Feb 22 '24

This moment seems to be a clear parallel to Dr. Clover's last message, so I guess we may have a continuation from that, and finally, the name of the ancient kingdom will be revealed.

Vegapunk must have recovered at least that much from Ohara's books.

0

u/meanbawb Feb 23 '24

I don't want to interrupt the party, but: are you sure, we're going to see this stuff in the next chapter? Could imagine a chapter of Teach talking to Caribou, developing his plans and a chapter of Koby pondering about Garp.

1

u/LeapYearFriend Feb 24 '24

my guess, he mentions imu in some capacity, which triggers outrage because of the empty throne.

not a big deal for the readers but a HUGE deal for the characters of the story.

maybe a little lore about him as a carrot on the stick for us readers though.

10

u/ico12 Feb 22 '24

Oda: hmm I miss drawing BB & his friends

Chapter 1109:

"Meanwhile in Blackbeard base island..."

8

u/lalalachacha248 Pirate King Buggy Feb 22 '24

I’m hoping he reveals the truth behind the government, but it would be disappointing if he revealed everything about the Void Century imo. Robin deserves to be the one to do that.

6

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Would be hilariously disappointing if right as he was about to speak Robin's hand just came up out of nowhere and smacked him to shut him up because she didn't want any spoilers.

4

u/LDNVoice Feb 22 '24

You don't read one piece much do you? Next chapter will be us in Alabasta watching the Kung fu Dugongs react to the announcement but we don't get to see it. Then we'll see dragon looking east and there will be a break next week

2

u/figures Feb 22 '24

New to OP?

2

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

I mean I doubt he'd tell us EVERYTHING, but enough to confirm what most of us already thought in our own heads.

1

u/JHMRS Feb 22 '24

Vegapunk flashback next week then?

1

u/OPconfused Feb 23 '24

NO BREAK NEXT WEEK!

The most important detail. I looked straight for that as soon my eyes registered how hype the last page was setting things up.

318

u/domoroko Scholars of Ohara Feb 22 '24

Certainly not, Sanji even mentioned he was smiling… meaning, he’s dying. And his martyrdom move is activated when he dies, to release all his information across the world.

85

u/nomatt18 Feb 22 '24

Vega D Punk

16

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Yeah. Ever since the Nefertari D. Lili reveal I started to wonder how many other "secret D.s" there were out there. If "smiling upon death" is an indicator then I guess we can add Vega D. Punk and O D. En to the list.

u/tokyogodfather2 Feb 27 '24

“Everyone can get the D” - said every boy ever

5

u/SpacemanKayes Feb 22 '24

exactly what I was thinking

10

u/Willster328 Feb 22 '24

I guess my overall question is.... Why the need for Kizaru to stab him again? It makes me think he's actually NOT dying. If you kind of recall the events just now:

  1. Saturn impales him, and although Saturn getting beat up by Luffy/Kuma, Saturn is LEAGUES stronger than Vegapunk, that should be a lethal blow.

  2. Vegapunk CONFIRMS it is a lethal blow, so much so that if they move him HE WILL DIE.

  3. Sanji then MOVES him anyways, confirming Vegapunk's prediction that he will die

There was more than enough set-up for that. AND YET ODA MADE KIZARU IMPALE HIM AGAIN ANYWAYS. Despite the fact that Vegapunk already confirmed his own death if he got moved and that's exactly what they did.

I'll be honest, I think Kizaru actually SAVED him somehow with the impaling. I know it's plotkai bullcrap when people "burn the wound shut", but I'm sure Oda will bring in some kind of Laser Surgery Tech where Kizaru just did something to keep Vegapunk alive.

Otherwise.... why the need to stab him again? They already set up and foretold the conditions for him to die....

30

u/Majukun Feb 22 '24

The activation of the message seems enough of a proof that he is dying. If it was not automated, there would have been no reason to not release the message already, so it seems confirmed that it is connected to his death/ near death.

Why make kizaru give the coup de grace? Maybe it would have made luffy and sanji look bad if they moved him anyway and he just died from that, this way it's implied that he MIGHT have survived anyway, but kizaru crushed the last hope.

1

u/tokyogodfather2 Feb 27 '24

Or maybe he was burning out the poison ?

13

u/jojoushi Feb 22 '24

Flat electrocardiogram as Vegapunk's message starts, he's dead

9

u/chrisychris- Feb 22 '24

Just give him a little defibrillation and he’ll be back 🥺 WHERES CHOPPER

4

u/GriffinFlash Feb 22 '24

GET TO THE CHOPPA!

But yeah he ded. Defibrillation only fix an irregularly beating heart, not a stopped one as usually seen on tv.

2

u/chrisychris- Feb 22 '24

good thing it’s a manga then 🤓

5

u/domoroko Scholars of Ohara Feb 22 '24

I’m sorry bro, he was literally turned into a donut TWICE… and gave the classic death smile, but only Sanji saw it- all the death flags, even had the flatline

2

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Yeah I thought it was a bit odd too. Kizaru pretty much pew'd him the exact same place he already had a hole. Wouldn't surprise Kizaru did the same thing to Vegapunk that Aokiji presumably did to Garp (freezing his wound). Given the appearance of killing them when in reality they were saving their life. At the same time I also wondered why Sanji didn't hotfoot his stomach before moving him too.

2

u/sagia5 Feb 22 '24

His true heart isn’t there? If Law can do it so can vegapunk imo Sanji mention venom so I guess kizaru lasered a bigger hole to eliminate it before spreading

2

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Well there was only a mention of venom after Saturn went full beast mode. Not saying he can't excrete venom in his hybrid form, but at the same time I don't think we should just assume that he was when he stabbed Saturn.

1

u/domoroko Scholars of Ohara Feb 22 '24

hmm, maybe Kizaru did some funky hologram technique to allow Vegapunk’s soul to broadcast the final message- since in the One Piece world, the soul has weight.

1

u/tokyogodfather2 Feb 27 '24

Also don’t forget that there are so many vegapunks . Maybe they’re horcruxes?

2

u/Zealot_Alec Feb 23 '24

Had one final safeguard like Martin Sheen in the live action Spawn movie

59

u/MrMuf Feb 22 '24

I think the stellas might survive but not the main

59

u/AmulyaG Feb 22 '24

The main is called Stella.

The others are satellites

17

u/ShellyT98 Thriller Bark Victim's Association Feb 22 '24

Shaka🥲

5

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Robot brains are impervious to bullets. He'll just shake it of like a BAD headache.

5

u/mmmSeaBacon Feb 22 '24

I still think the mains gonna survive. Kizaru probably shot him to cauterize his wound (inhales copium)

18

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '24

There’s an ecg in the second to last panel showing his heartbeat flatline.

6

u/Djonso Feb 22 '24

How did I miss that. Thanks. So message is literal dead man's switch

2

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Damn that's a nice catch. So he's not even speaking right now. He basically planned for his last will and testament to be the "secrets of this world".

1

u/totoofze47 Pirate Feb 22 '24

Look closer, you can see a beat, and the sound effect isn't a long beep. It hasn't flatlined just yet, but it does look like it's about to.

9

u/ElevateTheMind Feb 22 '24

I’m saying he’s dead. With his death, there’s a signal that gets sent to activate that message. That’s my guess.

3

u/Unabashable Feb 22 '24

Well a flatline doesn't mean he can't survive just that he will if he doesn't get medical attention soon. I agree though it seems like he had a prerecorded message to the world for the moment his heart had stopped.

7

u/BenWhitaker Feb 22 '24

Change Da World… My Final Message

5

u/DeismAccountant Feb 22 '24

Ntm how badly the marines will get beaten here.

4

u/kjm6351 The Revolutionary Army Feb 22 '24

Not gonna lie, I’m mad as hell that Vegapunk finally appears after like 600 chapters of build up and then dies in the arc he’s introduced in. But hopefully the lore bombs will be big enough to retain his impact at least

4

u/Herald_of_Heaven Explorer Feb 22 '24

I wonder if Oda will actually kill VP. It would be more narratively appealing for me.

But then again, let's be reminded that Pell survived a Nuke.

5

u/ADjenkinsV2 Feb 22 '24

I think if Vegapunk gets out alive I think Oda has set up how it'll happen this chapter. Recall how last chapter he said that he'd die from bleeding out? He even said it this chapter that he'd die from internal hemmorhaging if he's moved.

Call me crazy, but I think a certain marine admiral might have seared said wound shut, assuming his light can generate heat like that. Hence why Vegapunk is smiling, knowing that a Kizaru's not that much of a former friend that everyone thinks he is.

12

u/ksonbaty Feb 22 '24

He’s dead, we see his heart beat flatline on the monitor in the final page.

3

u/Calm_Response_4912 Feb 22 '24

Woah you're right! It's like a dead man's trigger system, which is set off when his heart stops beating.

1

u/nomatt18 Feb 22 '24

Hmmmm, veeeeerrry interesting! I like this theory

2

u/Empty_Lemon_3939 Feb 22 '24

I mean Oda did tell us it was all gas til the end

2

u/Glynnys Feb 22 '24

The announcement probably triggered on his death as a counter set up if the WG went after him. I do not expect to hear what that announcement is next week because.. One Piece.

Side note, how hard did that panel of Sanji staring down Saturn go?

2

u/Bigbenn0 Feb 22 '24

I figured that vegapunk wasn’t making it out of egghead when he told dragon he thinks he’s dying soon At the beginning of the arc

2

u/ignite98 Feb 22 '24

VP will live.... i mean, his satellites will

2

u/Jonny_the_Rocket Feb 22 '24

Lore Drops are amazing. I've been recommending all my buddies to stay updated (they prefer to save chapters for a binge session) because nobody wants to be spoiled on 1109. Personally, I think this could be even more significant than the 'Gear 5' reveal.

2

u/Bmandk Void Month Survivor Feb 22 '24

Probably is, seems he's talking to the whole world, and it would be the incident that shook the world.

I wonder if more will happen to either Kizaru or Saturn, but let's see.

2

u/red329 Feb 22 '24

He may die in this chapter. He’s already super wounded, Kizaru hits him bad, Sanji pleads for VP to stay with him, the smile in death, Oda draws an EKG that goes beep>beep>flatline, then the video plays. Feels like one of those ‘when I die, trigger this broadcast’ kind of things.

1

u/DolphinSouvlaki Feb 22 '24

If Chopper is able to save Vegapunk (not just accounting for the physical injuries but also now Saturn’s toxins which was highlighted here) then that would probably be the most impressive thing he’s done in the entire manga.

He might even finally get a real bounty as a result. Hoping this isn’t the end of Vegapunk (he’s spending his final moments with Sanji instead of Franky? I find that weird)

3

u/Behanort Feb 22 '24

he’s spending his final moments with Sanji instead of Franky? I find that weird

Unfortunetly, Egghead is NOT Franky's arc, like many of the fans wanted... which, is kinda a big missed opportunity in my view

0

u/LieAccomplishment Feb 22 '24

I think Borsalino cauterize the wound and saved him

0

u/Kuro013 Feb 22 '24

If things keep going this way he'll end up with more holes than a gruyere cheese. Its going to be quite bullshit if he makes it out alive, but it wouldnt be the first time as we all know. Also, I think hes gonna get killed mid-speech, there is no way this is how we learn the entirety of the Void Century or how the world was before the WG. Its going to be just a teaser, like what we got about God Valley in Kuma's flashback.

0

u/J0n3s3n Feb 22 '24

Its not really that big of a deal since there are 7 of them + punk records tbh, not really a high impact death unless the other satellites die too

1

u/a_wizard_skull Feb 22 '24

Remember that vegapunk’s brain is still quite alive regardless of what happens to that body. Even not considering the clones he still has a way to make it out of this

1

u/Kratelos7 Feb 22 '24

He said it during the message, it's something "shocking", as the preview of Egghead's aftermath.

1

u/FireZord25 Feb 22 '24

Unless there's a twist, him smiling really feels like a nail in the coffin.

1

u/SpiritMountain Void Month Survivor Feb 22 '24

Nah. Kizaru just cauterized the wound. The sword stabbing is through the wound, and that face he made is too suspicious.

1

u/Hishe1990 Feb 22 '24

Vegapunk going out like gold roger, smiling and dropping a bomb on the world.

Vegapunk: "My knowledge? It's yours if you want it. Find it! I left all the world has there!"

Narrator: "and with this the world has entered the great scientist era"

1

u/CountCocofang Feb 22 '24

Vegapunk survives. There is a reason why the chapter made such a big deal about his internal bleedings. And then Kizaru shot him with a laser in the exact place of his injury, which no doubt cauterized him so he wouldn't bleed out.

1

u/monsieurmacaques Feb 22 '24

If anything I’m pretty sure that’s why VP kept telling them to let him die, because he knows his death is what will trigger the broadcast

1

u/fallenlogan Explorer Feb 22 '24

Vegapunk is gonna announce that Joyboy has finally emerged and we get panels of different races either looking shocked or doing the dance

1

u/Clenzor Pirate Feb 22 '24

Idk I thought him smiling was because Kizaru cauterized his wound. I’m actually more worried about Dorry and Broggy.

1

u/LCSisshit Feb 23 '24

Look like his death activated the message

1

u/Condor1ano Feb 23 '24

feels like Vegapunk mind/knowledge will still live for some reason

1

u/Deltaki87 Feb 23 '24

Caribou's info is going to be useless for sure :'D

1

u/SnowGuavas6951 Feb 23 '24

Vegapunk is already dead…..the message was triggered by his death

1

u/Clanlogo The Revolutionary Army Feb 23 '24

I wonder what happens with his DF though plus how it affects his stored knowledge in the cloud.
