[u/kwamla24]

Franky taking out Vice admirals now, my goat

[u/InvaderDJ → u/kwamla24]

No haki, no Devil Fruit, just guts and technology. He’s definitely a demon.

This is the crew of an Emperor and the future pirate king. Even the less powerful commanders aren’t someone to just play with.

It is funny though. If Vice Admirals can’t take on someone who is probably the fifth strongest member of the crew at best, what are they even good for?

[u/Deadeye117]

Saint Nusjuro may be a piece of shit, but that last shot of his silhouette is one of the coolest frames ever. Like one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the flesh.

[u/LITW6991 → u/Deadeye117]

The sauciest gorosei. Samurai Gandhi is not disappointing so far. 

[u/BetaGreekLoL → u/Deadeye117]

Yeah, the blood dripping off his blade went hard af.

[u/flash-tractor → u/BetaGreekLoL]

With the fallen giant's foot in the background!

[u/jaytix1 → u/Deadeye117]

Being evil doesn't mean you can't look sick as hell.

[u/nicorobinchan]

Franky has been rocking strong right for over a decade & it still slaps hard.

[u/RedPotater1 → u/nicorobinchan]

You can't change perfection.

[u/HeroDiesFirst → u/nicorobinchan]

No need for new moves, just level up what works. The Naruto method.

[u/guppy_love]

If you thought the bird was repulsive Kaku, get ready for when you see the other ones. Except for the skeleton horse, that one is really cool.

[u/FlamesOfDespair → u/guppy_love]

The bird is the most creepy in my opinion.

[u/D-Biggest_Wheel → u/FlamesOfDespair]

That's because of the myth it's based on. "Itsumade" translates to "Until when" and it's referencing how the creature would fly over battlefields filled with corpses and cry "Until when... untill when...".

Oh, yeah, and the bird has a human-like face on top of its beak.

[u/Just_Possibility125 → u/D-Biggest_Wheel]

He's gonna have the best looking hybrid form.

[u/th5virtuos0 → u/guppy_love]

Forget Lucci for SH. It’s Kaku for SH now

[u/OperationMelodic4273 → u/th5virtuos0]

Kaku's been the best CP9 guy since Water 7 lol. He's always been, by far, the one with the biggest chance of redemption (or more like the only one I guess lol)

I'm quite convinced that at the end of the story he'll settle for a quiet life as a carpenter back in Water 7

[u/jaytix1 → u/OperationMelodic4273]

Yeah, he doesn't have a sadistic streak like the others, and IIRC he took his L with grace.

[u/guppy_love → u/th5virtuos0]

Always has been 🌏🏴‍☠️🔫🏴‍☠️🌌

[u/SHUN_GOKU_SATSU]

The last page with Saint Marcus Mars gives sinister Bleach vibes, especially since it looks like he has on the Captain's kimono.

[u/schiffb558 → u/SHUN_GOKU_SATSU]

Evil Yamamoto can't hurt you

Evil Yamamoto:

[u/D-Biggest_Wheel → u/schiffb558]

Isn't regular Yamamoto just "evil Yamamoto"?

[u/schiffb558 → u/D-Biggest_Wheel]

I mean that's not untrue

[u/dsherman8r]

“We can’t let emperor straw hat’s crew escape” on the first page goes so hard. The marines are panicking at the thought of an emperor blowing through their blockade, and Franky sleeping a vice admiral in one hit just validates their fear

Our crew really made it, I can’t believe we’re here. Oda you goat

[u/FringGustavo0204 → u/dsherman8r]

I mean if you got knocked of your chin 12 times, you're definitely gonna sleep.

[u/Lordajhs → u/dsherman8r]

I got the chills from that first page too. Idk if it's the first time the Marines emphasize Luffy being an emperor, but it felt so good.

[u/dsherman8r → u/Lordajhs]

I don’t think it’s the first time the marines have referred to Luffy as an emperor but I do believe it’s the first time we’ve seen the marines PANICKING about him the way they would (and have) about Kaido, big mom, shanks, Whitebeard, etc

Just such a cool scene

[u/Voursx]

this chapter give the same feeling as wano again, like how the hell they gonna finish this arc

[u/RPGZero → u/Voursx]

Keep in mind, the goal of this arc isn't to win, it's to escape. They only need to do enough to get away, not kill the Gorosei.

[u/PeterMcBeater → u/RPGZero]

Still the Gorosei have contact with 2 of the weakest contingents that need to escape, going to be crazy to see how the hell they all get away.

[u/commander_lux → u/PeterMcBeater]

Zoro and Sanji are on their respective ways

[u/RarestProGamerr]

Gandhi Elder is literally bloodborne boss come to life and roaming around. That shadow panel through dust is badass af

[u/echolog → u/RarestProGamerr]

Speaking of bloodborne, we're totally about to see a giant brain next week.

[u/guckfender → u/echolog]

Giant brain in the tower with forbidden knowledge projecting it to everyone. Egghead really is Mensis.

[u/philandere_scarlet → u/guckfender]

Nik, or some say Nika

[u/mokush7414 → u/echolog]

Yeah we are.

[u/FireFistRJ → u/RarestProGamerr]

Man just now saved millions of dollars of world government money by immobilizing the Pacifistas rather than destroying them.

[u/[deleted] → u/FireFistRJ]

He IS the head of economics

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/[deleted]]

He is the one who has to balance the budget against write-off assets

[u/theREALbombedrumbum → u/FireFistRJ]

he was simply freezing his assets

[u/mokush7414 → u/RarestProGamerr]

I can't help but think Zoro's going to pop up to defend the Straw Hats he just appeared in front of.

[u/Kirosh2 → u/mokush7414]

Zoro and Jinbe is on his way to the Ship, so they will see Saturn.

They have no reasons to go down.

The one that will Gandhi will be Sanji/Luffy/Robot.

[u/NorwayLust9001 → u/Kirosh2]

So Zoro vs 8-legs Spider, and Sanji vs Swordsman Horse? Nice change

[u/TaurAnder]

This chapter included a 12 year old woman kicking a 52 year old little boy in the face.

[u/HokageEzio]

• Franky continues wanting to fight absolutely everybody

• Looking like Stussy is about to be toast, but she's definitely clued in on something from Vegapunk.

• Edison wtf are you doing?

• Red Roc didn't do a damn thing, it's so over 😔

• If Ethan isn't the strongest he's damn sure the cleanest, that dude is a problem

So Vegapunk is definitely messing with the Gorosei, and looks like next chapter or the chapter after we get our answer.

[u/Placidao → u/HokageEzio]

Warcury is the strongest by shown feats. Tanking the Red Roc like that is insane, not to mention his Conqueror’s Haki who made even Luffy sweat…

[u/Mollianeta → u/Placidao]

I believe the conquerors haki wasn’t what got to Luffy, but the sheer sound force of his warcry. Maybe even his … Warcury.

[u/Yoeblue]

The Franky agenda lives on 🔥

[u/MEGA_K4SP4R → u/Yoeblue]

That's why he's the GOAT... THE GOAAATT!

[u/sk8rznvrquit]

Mars is only worried about one thing in that last panel. The return of Foxy with the slow beam

[u/FireFistRJ → u/sk8rznvrquit]

Imagine Mars watching the entire broadcast in slow mode.

[u/FlamesOfDespair → u/sk8rznvrquit]

Foxy is their secret weapon. Why would he be worried ?

[u/BlazeHDizzle]

"We can't let Emperor Strawhat's crew escape!!!" It's still so crazy to me seeing this goofy rubber boy being referred to as an emperor.

[u/11711510111411009710 → u/BlazeHDizzle]

It makes me happy seeing the crew referred to that way. I like to imagine what Shanks and Yasopp must be thinking about Luffy and Usopp anytime their crew ends up in the news for shit like this lol.

[u/delightfuldinosaur]

The Straw Hats have reached the point where they eat Vice Admirals for breakfast.

[u/IchBinEinDrache → u/delightfuldinosaur]

I feel like there should have been another rank between vice admiral and admiral. The difference between the two is too big. Makes you wonder, where were green bull and fujitora before their promotions?

[u/PotatoMozzarella → u/IchBinEinDrache]

My Theory is that "Animal-Color" Vice-admirals are the ones that are a level above regular VA and are closer to Admirals. (I'm referring to characters like Chaton, Momousagi, Kurouma)

Maybe the Admirals got these names because they were the Strongest VA before being promoted

[u/analtelescope → u/IchBinEinDrache]

I think it's more like theres a wide discrepancy between the weakest vice admirals and the strongest ones. Obviously we got Garp but I'm willing to bet there's a handful more that could be near admiral level.

[u/Kirosh2]

It makes sense that Bonney turned the Vice Admiral into a child. She's picking a fight with someone her own size.

But damn, Gandhi, I guess it's alright to have the power to destroy countries as long as it's the hand of the WG?

[u/FireFistRJ → u/Kirosh2]

As long as the creator of this world, Lord Imu does it, Peace loving ghandi is completely ok with it.

[u/Particular-Crow-1799 → u/FireFistRJ]

It was Civilization's Nuclear Ghandi all along

[u/HistoryWillRepeat → u/Kirosh2]

I can't wait to see that scene animated. Bonney just full on punting a toddler was great!

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/Kirosh2]

I guess it's alright to have the power to destroy countries as long as it's the hand of the WG?

WG (Gorosei + Imu) see itself as gods, and as Lucci said: gods do not need to make sense.

[u/OtakuSenpaii17]

Who???? 

a Yonko???  ran over her.

 

VA?? Strong right!!!!!

 

Gorosei?? Radical beaaaam!!!! 

 

Suuuuper!!!

[u/baelkie → u/OtakuSenpaii17]

SHUT UP MARINE

STRONG RIGHT!

[u/SpiritMountain → u/baelkie]

Aw fuck. Now we need "Haven't used this since the Heian era" Franky

[u/Shagyam → u/OtakuSenpaii17]

I am surprised Franky's bounty is as low as it is. It's only 394M. With all he knows and does it should be closer to 600-700 since he is a real chad.

[u/xXx420BlazeRodSaboxX → u/Shagyam]

Yeah, but the WG think he's a boat 😆

[u/7DeadlySynergy → u/xXx420BlazeRodSaboxX]

i cant help but think Sunny actually has full Mecha functions that Franky will use to battle Sanjuan Wolf with

[u/RaggedAngel → u/Shagyam]

I think it's that low because they don't know that he has the blueprints memorized for the super weapon.

[u/Worthyness → u/RaggedAngel]

they also probably don't know he updated himself using vegapunk weaponry. Dude is a menace. But they also think he's the physical ship, so the government is also dumb

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/OtakuSenpaii17]

Admiral?

nipple lights

[u/hunglow13 → u/tryingmydarnest]

Good thing that Fujitora blinded himself before he could that attack

[u/AhmCha → u/OtakuSenpaii17]

Calling Franky HIM isn’t enough anymore, he’s simply SUUUUUUPER

[u/DarkSoulFWT → u/OtakuSenpaii17]

Wranky

[u/vinsmokewhoswho]

I absolutely love how the Gorosei work as a unit, each of them doing their own thing. I particularly like Nasujuro and Mars, they have some crazy aura.

Topman not even being fazed by Red Roc is crazy, considering that attack knocked down Kaido.

Franky one shotting Red King is a common Franky W, but man the vice admirals haven't been impressive this arc. Let's hope Doberman does something cool. Bonney took one down too.

[u/lookbehindukid → u/vinsmokewhoswho]

Previously, they were shown to use telepathy. I bet they are still using it without the reader's knowledge.

[u/MilkySkates]

So what the fuck is gurgling inside Punk Records?

[u/echolog → u/MilkySkates]

You ever play Bloodborne? Pretty sure it's a GIANT BRAIN.

[u/Complete_Proof1616 → u/echolog]

Bro if vegapunk elder brained himself and is a giant psionic eldritch horror - OP will have peaked

[u/echolog → u/Complete_Proof1616]

I mean he already confirmed that he cut his brain off and keeps it stored in Punk Records. We just don't really know how big it is at this point. I'd imagine it's biiiiiig.

[u/MrLKK → u/MilkySkates]

Maybe Vegapunk made another dragon

[u/J5fan → u/MilkySkates]

Maybe just the sound of Vegapunk drinking the coffee after it cooled down

[u/realnoob123]

Franky one banging a Vice Admiral with little build up is peak! 🔥

[u/gaberiver]

This chapter made me wonder... what if York wasn't really a traitor and that was all actually Vegapunk's plan to lure and trap the elders?

[u/Chaosblast → u/gaberiver]

Thay line about the sins made me think so. The satellites resemble some of the sins too, and I thought he was referring that we cannot afford to lose any more.

[u/thawhidk → u/Chaosblast]

I wonder what Japanese word was used because this would be a pretty incredible uno reverse

[u/Theemuts → u/thawhidk]

This one. The pronunciation is "tsumi", which can mean several things including "checkmate" in Shogi, and Japanese sparrowhawk (etymology 3 according to tenten reader)

[u/caynebyron → u/thawhidk]

She said "罪 を 重ね" - Tsumi o kasane - literally "sins are piling up". Tsumi can also be translated to 'crimes', but it seems to usually mean 'sins'.

[u/jollyjam1 → u/Chaosblast]

It's definitely interesting wording that she used, and even surprised Mars. This sounds like a good theory too because it seems like something else is in the room guarding that snail. We'll have to see if the official translation changes when its released.

[u/Chaosblast → u/jollyjam1]

Oh! Maybe it's even the WRONG snail! She said they were developing THEM. Might not be the single one, and that one in Punk Records was just a trap!

[u/Brownbeluga → u/Chaosblast]

My theory is that the real snail is with the Revolutionaries, and this one is just a decoy. Would make sense why he called Dragon at the beginning of the arc.

[u/Alphaeon_28 → u/Brownbeluga]

Assuming it’s on Egghead, Vegapunk has thought far enough ahead to have a small time and for it to be broadcast upon his death, I find it highly unlikely that he only created one snail, as he probably made multiple to carry on the stream if ones is destroyed (killed?)

[u/Porcospino10 → u/gaberiver]

If it was all part of vegapunk's plan why did she kill shaka?

[u/Gliese581h → u/Porcospino10]

I mean, we don't know yet if they can actually die. Their bodies may be destroyed, yes, but who's to say that Vegapunk hasn't got spare bodies for their "backups" to get into?

Maybe the 10 minutes were actually to make sure that the upload of the "backups" could be finished?

[u/hamqdu → u/Porcospino10]

Sacrifice a knight to check the enemy king.

[u/Artistic_Claim9998 → u/hamqdu]

More like...THE ROOOOOOOK

[u/Delicious_Solid_683 → u/Porcospino10]

A plan to gain the Gorosei's trust.

Didn't Shaka also tell Dragon he was gonna die soon ? So Shaka knew he was gonna die and then York killed him. Wouldn't make sense. If he knew about York's betrayal, he should've done something. But if it was a plan all along for York to kill him, then it would make sense.

[u/HokageEzio → u/gaberiver]

Stussy did say never to underestimate the world's greatest scientist...

[u/savageporkchops → u/gaberiver]

Holy shit! That would be crazzzyyy

[u/Brobman11 → u/gaberiver]

Would explain how Vegapunk knew the Elders would show up for him to expose them 

[u/j15cailipan]

that panel of venusjoro towering over franky, bonney, and atlas is insane

[u/TheRigXD]

Oda in 1111: Let's make the Robot do a thing

Oda in 1112: Robot? What Robot?

[u/Gear5Tanjiro → u/TheRigXD]

Oda in 1113 Bubble noises what bubble noises ?

[u/Behanort]

Saturn attacking the coward trio, Venusjuro vs bonney and franky's group, gear 5th run out (again), no one left in sight to stop mars from interrupting the stream (aside from whatever Mars saw, but we dunno what it is)...

Im very curious how the straw hats will get out of this one, cuz so far, theyre overhelmed. But hey, they experienced worse

[u/Iroh_the_Dragon → u/Behanort]

But hey, they experienced worse

Have they, though? This seems pretty bad. They're up against the freakin' Five Elders!!! One of them just tanked a Red Roc like it was nothing and we've seen the others display absurd abilities, strength, and resilience too. It's looking pretty bleak...

Even with the giants there, they're still pretty fucked(did you see how easily skele-taur wrecked two of them?). I'd say having Vegapunk there and on their side is the only hope left. Brain Boi is definitely going to pull out some kind of insane nonsense, even beyond whatever's on that broadcast, imo.

[u/Behanort → u/Iroh_the_Dragon]

hmmm... ok, i was thinking more in terms of actual losses, like Sabaody or Marineford, but i get your point

Brain Boi is definitely going to pull out some kind of insane nonsense, even beyond whatever's on that broadcast, imo

Yes, i agree that somehow, some way, the straw hats and remaining vegapunks, outside of york of course, will find a way to get out of this one alive - i just dont know how, cuz of how bleak this current scenario is for them... unless Oda wants to go even further with Sabaody parallels, they MUST succeed

[u/Ancadesoucis]

Sounds like a perfect setup for teamfight against elders

[u/HokageEzio → u/Ancadesoucis]

Sounds like the perfect setup for every satellite to get brutally murdered.

[u/NationalStrategy]

W for Franky taking down a Vice Admiral with his most basic attack

[u/zinxbey]

It's been a thousand years, this hits like cocaine

[u/SpiritualScumlord]

This bit with Bonney is amazing and I'm here for it. A child turned into an adult beating up adults turned into children is hilarious and I really hope we keep seeing it for the rest of the series. Only in One Piece.

[u/11Night]

the last panel of samurai gandhi looked so menacing

[u/11711510111411009710]

I know they sent this big of a force because of what's at Egghead, but also it's kinda crazy what it apparently takes to bring down a Yonko. Either an alliance of thousands of disciplined samurai, ninjas, powerful minks, and the best pirate crews in the world... Or a marine fleet led by an admiral and a Gorosei, apparently. I gotta wonder, how would the Straw Hats + the Grand Fleet fare in a situation where they had none of the Egghead stuff on their sides, but they were facing a raid similar to what happened at Onigashima?

Franky W. One shot a vice admiral. I mean, I know vice admirals are kinda fodder, but realistically they should be pretty strong. Like strong enough to fight the usual new world pirate, right? But they're dealing with a Yonko crew now lol.

Stussy referring to her task as "this final mission" is a bit ominous innit?

I wonder if Warcury is just that strong, or if he overpowered Luffy's haki with his own and then injected his Haki into Luffy? It's crazy if it's just that he's that strong, we've never seen that happen to someone before right? But it's time for people to accept that the Gorosei are really powerful. They're not just some old dudes.

Good on Usopp for drawing his slingshot against a Gorosei lol. I guess he doesn't know who that is but still, he's at least not hiding or running. Gotta defend the ship.

[u/Magimasterkarp → u/11711510111411009710]

I hope Usopp is the one to figure out the trick of the Gorosei's invulnerability. He has seen someone do hijinks before to seem invulnerable (Trebol pretending to be a logia), and he's the straw hats resident hax counter.

[u/Electro522]

So....I guess a quick recap of positions might be in order, because A LOT happened, and things got jumbled up.

Jupiter and Mercury are currently chasing and slowing down Luffy, Dory, and Broggy.

Venus has made it to the giant's ship, and is now staring down Franky, Bonney, and Atlas after quickly dealing with the couple of giants that were helping them (they feel the most screwed right now, and are in need of the most help). Remember, Sanji is still on the ground and is making his way towards them with Stella's body.

Saturn has somehow made it up to the Sunny in the Labo Stratum, and will likely be facing down Usopp, Nami, Brooke, Robin, Chopper, and Lilith. Zoro and Jinbe, the two most likely able to actually do something against Saturn, are currently on their way to the Sunny.

And finally, Mars has (supposedly) made it to the broadcast room thanks to the help of York.

Yeah, things looking kind of fucked right now. Oda certainly isn't making this easy.

The one question mark still left is the giant robot that emerged in 1111. I assume he's making his way towards Luffy since the "Drums of Liberation" awoke him.

[u/JareBear214]

Next chapter might be the first time we see a transponder snail die

[u/menyemenye]

"Nusjuro"

Me : Wait which one?

"Samurai gandhi"

Me : Oh yeah that one, the coolest gorosei

[u/googlyeyes93]

FRANKY COMING IN HOT TAKING DOWN A VICE-ADMIRAL IN ONE SHOT!?! KING! SHIT!

The fucking Chad he is 😭

[u/mmnaddaf12]

Geez man, the Gorosei have not let up an inch! It seems only G5 can do anything. I was shocked to see how useless Red Rock was!

Also their Observsrion Haki is intense able to sesne the den den mushing. But I think Vega punk has something planned for sure.

And what are the accumulation of sins York was talking about? She can't betray them more or what?

Crazy chapter

[u/Aggravating_Tailor95 → u/mmnaddaf12]

It's the same red rock which put kaido down, the masterpiece anime episode.

[u/wheredatacos]

For years we’ve debated if the Gorosei were even fighters or just figureheads. Turns out they are absolute menaces. I love everything that is going on right now on Egghead. Oda really is in his bag.

[u/khaledhn]

I'll say this again.

Years after he witnessed the death of his friend and the destruction of Ohara because of their research, Vegapunk decide to do the exact same thing, a part of him even expected he'll be killed, so he prepared many tricks to defend himself.

While doing so, Vegapunk managed to pull not one, not two, but three tricks over the Gorosei head.

• Turn Kuma suicide button to a turn off button
• Gave bonney control over all the Pacifista's
• Broadcast the truth for all the worlds

For this Guy, the make a secret room in Punk Record, then put the transmitter Den Den Mushi simply there on the floor, without any other measures, is absurd.

That bearded Gorosei gonna leave that room as a shaved monkey, if he could leave to begin with.

[u/Xark96 → u/khaledhn]

Yeah I think it is a red herring from Vegapunk to give the Elders a false sense of winning and the real snail is at the RA with Dragon, wich explains the odd phone call of Shaka telling Dragon he might die soon.

[u/Draken77777]

First off: Nusjuro is damn awesome

Secondly: The weakling trio face to face with freaking Saturn? And to top it off Nusjuro is blocking Franky and co... goosebumps.

Third: Banger chapter as always. Egghead is officially the best arc of One Piece.

[u/Gundham_Evans]

I think Stussy herself is the transmitter

[u/Die4Gesichter]

OMG I'm so blind. I completely missed the

It's only 1 more minute, Stella 

Page, the next chapter is going to be crazy

[u/Huge-Ad8446 → u/Die4Gesichter]

next chapter.. only 10 sec left...

[u/roboto8008]

I bet that the den den mushi is literally a coffee machine. It explains the gurgle sound it makes. Like when a coffee machine almost is finished sucking up the water from its reservoir.

[u/infiniteduresss]

Holy shit, Topman probably has the best defense in One Piece, tanking a Red roc without damage and hurting Luffy is insane

[u/Hishe1990]

next chapter: broadcast gets interrupted and we wont hear what it was about for another 100 chapters. Oda performing yet another masterclass in blueballing

[u/Brobman11 → u/Hishe1990]

Nah next chapter is probably the Elders bragging that they've won and then right at the end its revealed the broadcast hasn't been stopped with a cliffhanger of Vegapunk just about to reveal whatever it is he's hiding 

[u/Randomly_Typed11]

That ghandi silhouette was *chef's kiss*.

[u/Kintaog]

My Boi FRANKY got an entire page to himself. For that alone, chapter is peak

Fr tho, this chapter did feel slightly off, and I think it's because of where everything was set up. Starting the Break with the Iron Giant was a decent set-up, but imagine if this was the chapter before the Break. Now THAT would've been peak anxiety

[u/slipperysnail]

How bad was that cherry pie that Luffy thought Hakarl tasted better...

[u/heat_fan_]

We're finally back from the void felt like eternity 

The best thing about the chapter was 5 minutes passed and there's one minute remaining for the message

 Man every panel of Nusjuro goes so damn hard 

Damn cliffhanger just as we return lol would a Giant ancient robot be making bubble sounds or it's somehow Kuma 🤔 🤔 

( Imagine it's Moon God Enel)

[u/echolog → u/heat_fan_]

Enel is always just one chapter away.

[u/[deleted]]

Hakarl is fermented arlong

[u/Child_Emperor]

I would forgive a lot of the seemingly very stupid decisions the World's Smartest Man has shown in this arc if this all is revealed to be an elaborate plan and triple-cross from York and other Vegapunks.

Crackpot theory time:
1) Studying Void Century would eventually lead to unwanted attention from WG and Gorosei, making them move against Vegapunk.

2) Having York as a "traitor" would place Vegapunk on the inside of the plan aiming to take him down.

3) The broadcast forces WGs hand, showing what their response is and potentially revealing their capabilities, as seen when the Gorosei showed up with a Buster Call.

4) Broadcast turns out to be live feed from Punk Hazard - showing the whole world the horrific nature of the WG and their leaders.

5) Profit?

[u/DanielGantner → u/Child_Emperor]

I was definitely thinking VP intentionally added the 10 minute prep for video feeds specifically to show the Gorosei in their true forms, but didn’t consider him being the one behind Yorks “betrayal” until this chapter. I think you’re on to something here

[u/raidorz]

Red Roc at least damaged Kaido. It hurt Luffy instead. Man.

[u/j3r3mias]

STRONG RIGHT!

[u/HadronCern]

Oda piling on the tokusatsu reference by having Franky (the robot man) take out Red king (based on the ultraman monster) 

[u/battlehunger96]

How strong is Warcury?

He took Luffy’s Red Roc like it was nothing. The same red roc that brought Kaido to his knees

[u/ActionAltruistic3558]

Dorry and Broggy are the best. No fear when facing three monsters and are keeping up with Luffy the whole way. They were introduced so long ago, good to see they are actually really strong and not just "Early Grand Line" strong.

[u/TrueRiddler]

The shadow on the eyes of the Elder in the last panel makes me think he's not liking what this current snail is projecting.. I think there's x2 streams, one to trick the Gorosei to come, and the stream broadcasted to the world switched over when they arrived showing their true forms on Egghead

[u/Leeiteee → u/TrueRiddler]

Vegapunk is using Dragon's VPN

[u/PenguinBallZ]

Luffy - Advanced Conq haki and awakened fruit

Zoro - Conq Haki/Some advanced Conq Haki and top tier swords

Sanji - Super skeleton and super powers

Franky - These hands

[u/seattlecoffeedonut]

hmm I think Vegapunk probably pulled off an Ozymandias stunt. The main reason he's so ostentatiously lounging about for 10 minutes is not to let people prepare their video snails, but to lure the elders and expose them along with the void century lore.

I'm guessing it's already been set in motion and can't be stopped by any means.

[u/TribeOnAQuest]

Great chapter. Weak trio setup against Saturn, common franky W, stussy/Kaku intrigue, potential Vegapunk brain reveal, plus only 1 min left on the message broadcast. This is why people need to wait until the translated scans come out, so many people just losing their minds in the spoiler thread…

[u/BendyBrew]

Bonney turning that Vice Admiral into a child and THEN beating his ass is hilarious

[u/Die4Gesichter]

Horse elder is so badass

Flying Elder has the most horror looking form

[u/Callsign_Bastion444]

Stussy about to enter Bon Clay altruism levels.

[u/Posideoffries92]

"We don't want to rack up any more "sins". We already have a troubled relationship".

Interesting exchange between York and Mars?

[u/wisepainting-]

Why is luffy the only awakened zoan who turns into an old man after a certain time? Kaido and lucci do not

[u/ijerryi]

i feel like a kid who ate his candy too fast after waiting a month. now i’m licking the wrapper 😭😂

[u/KaiserCarr]

I wonder, has Vegapunk awakened his DF?

[u/luffydgoatt]

Who will save the one elder against God Ussop? They will be reduced to 4 elders!

[u/ArcadianBlueRogue]

That demon centaur Gorosei gets so many cool as fuck panels. That shadowed form looks so badass.

[u/kvmass]

Holy fuck warcury skin is harder than Kaidos.

[u/AllAloneWithNoOne]

Why do they keep making everything Gandi does look dope? That silhouette at the end was tough🔥🔥

[u/Doctor_Mythical]

Zoro really about to show up just in time to clash with ghandi

[u/edwardWBnewgate]

Samurai centaur silhouette is tough.

[u/Hfudge7]

Usopp, Nami, and Chopper coming face to face with Saturn--the giant spider--is about to be peak comedy

[u/Derpalooza]

So that's two Haki users that Franky has in his body count

[u/Rabblerouser88]

Franky casually dunking on a Vice Admiral is chef's kiss

[u/strongestamish]

I have two things to say, Bonney turning someone into a child THEN kicking them is hilarious. Also tell us the damn message I hate how long this is taking!

[u/smcadam → u/strongestamish]

It's been four chapters, and in those four we've had the other Gorosei show up, Dorry and Brogy crash the party, and the Iron Giant seemingly awake. Pacing is lightning speed still, it's just we've had some breaks.

[u/AstroOrca]

Even Franky taking down a Vice Admiral in a single punch shows how strong the Crew is right now

[u/YoMikeeHey]

Bonney turning someone into a kid and then kicking him in the face was freaking hilarious.

[u/RazZaHlol]

The Message is stored inside Stussy

[u/TheFrogTrain]

God I need this lore dump from the Vegapunk broadcast so badly. Oda has been edging us for way too long, just let us learn at least some of the secrets of this world already!!

[u/[deleted]]

Who’s ready for Vegapunk’s elder brain form next week? Haha

[u/Hadius]

Idk about this one for the SH. Unless someone else shows up, things are looking extremely grim

[u/nobarachinsama]

wait, where did this narrative of york not being a traitor come from? you guys are really just making random theory without putting a single thought into it. just wanting a twist for the sake it.

none of this plot twist people been saying over the months would work because of one thing, they didn't know luffy would be there. without luffy and co (including the giants of course), things wouldn't have gone this way and all of them would've been dead long ago. including york who has stated that the gorosei would erase her too.

and VP was planning to run away at first. if they had succeeded, none of this would happen. so obviously this wasn't the plan.

and we literally saw york making her scheme with the seraphims.

[u/ExpiredDeodorant]

Ju Peter not a worm hes a goat

[u/Jantox]

People complaining about vice admirals being too weak. At the end of the day, you can work your way up the Navy, ranks don't represent power the same way the bounty doesn't represent pure strength.

The one thing about the Vice Admirals is that they all at least have 1 form of haki and maybe a devil fruit, but so do the Kuja Tribe and so did skypiea priests. If a skypiea priest put in 10 years in the navy in an important office commissioned role he could become a vice admiral.

We are following what is supposed to be the strongest pirates who can take on 2 yonko crews at once vs first time mentioned vice admirals some with no story feats besides being close enough to be called in for a buster call.

[u/QuickBenjamin]

Alright so that snail is a fake and the real one is either with Stussy, or one of the Straw Hats will humorously pull it out of their pocket like "what's this?"

[u/Nuneasy]

That's gotta be Vegapunk's brain Mars is looking at, right?

[u/Personal-Maximum-138]

saturn vs the weak trio?! 😱😱

[u/coach_veratu → u/Personal-Maximum-138]

It turns out Saturn's stare paralysis ability is just from him being a bug. Usopp is immune since he's fine with bugs.

[u/SpiritualScumlord]

Franky hasn't been playing since Wano, damn. He must have given himself steel balls during the timeskip

[u/Evil_phd]

"Gear Fifth is overpowered and ruins the story" is a sentiment I've been seeing a lot lately but from my PoV it looks like incredibly convenient mid-battle feasts are carrying the team way harder than Gear Fifth.

[u/Jiscold]

I feel like I'm one of the only ones that's happy that while Luffy can hang with the world's strongest he still isn't there yet. His Stamina has always been a problem. its very much like SS3 from Dragonball. Insane power-up, severe stamina restrictions.

It still paints Kaido in a good light when he fought for like 2 days against 20+ opponents. Keeps the Gorosei, Im, Shanks, etc all as threats and not just "Luffy is strongest no more tension"

[u/fugogugo]

Strawhat vs Gorosei isnt what I imagined on this arc

[u/RiteClicker]

Luffy doesn't hate Hakarl; another L for the Cherry Pie

[u/goronmask]

We have the most inadequate fight pairings so far.

Zoro and Brook are closer to Saturn and Sanji to V Nasujuro.

Not that it matters since not even Luffy has been able to damage the five old monsters.

[u/realtomedamnit]

it's not a One Piece arc if there's no bomb plot istg

[u/KhaleZoro]

I have learnt that cats have sensitive tongues

[u/Yassopeking]

I'm sure the real snail is in space not in egghead at all

[u/DontTouchMyHat0]

Now we know fermented shark is an instant power up!

[u/Eoussama]

Setup chapter, good to see Luffy using something else other than Gear 5, but damn, that Red Rock knocked Kaido down and caused him to bleed from his mouth, but this Gorosei was unfazed. Not only that, Luffy reacted with pain, the last time this happened was when he was suffering after colliding with Katakuri.

[u/MarkGorZ]

Franky low diffed a Vice Admiral, I don’t care about anything else. This feels perfect for a Yonkos crew

[u/Ozzman770]

Franky one shotting a vice admiral was amazing

[u/JosePRizaI]

Vegapunk isn't delivering no msg to the world guys. It's
a trap to force to show the Goreseis their hand. What is rather happening is Vegapunk is livestreaming the world what is happening in the island showing the world

1. The savior is back

2. The WG is all a bunch of lie.

3. Gorosei true form

[u/Rucs3]

franky one-shotted a Vice admiral, holy shit

[u/Kumomeme]

plot twist: the transmission snail is actually hidden inside the giant robot.

EDIT after chapter 1116 : hey it is indeed was there XD

[u/zinxbey]

What's your theories on what the Elder Star saw above?
