| So Oda implied that Dragon didn't know about Saul's id; does that mean he was never in the part of marine (well cipher pol backstory still could happen, but the man is actually a pacifist which would make that sound weird), or is he just simply bluffing by not addressing it directly? Great chapter btw. Obviously, this should be the most lore drop for an arc so far. |

| Damn this chapter was nuts. So many reveals. |
 |
| There Oda goes again with bullshit fake-out death #19732564. Just watch, Kuina will probably be revealed to be alive later on too because Oda doesn't give a damn about the emotional impact that certain character deaths had earlier in the manga, and he just feels compelled to bring dead characters back into the story by revealing that they're not dead after all... Aside from that annoyance, the chapter was great for Robin. I loved seeing her cry again, it reminded me of Water 7 and it was good to see her display intense emotions again other than just her usual generic smile. Vegapunk looks ridiculous but I guess his current design is still 100 times better than his skyscraper head design from 20 years ago which was just infuriating to look at. |
| This. This is peak one piece. So many questions are going to be solved this arc, the lore is fucking insane. I think its gonna be one of those short stay on island then leave arcs. Then again, with the CP-9 coming in , I might be wrong. Finally, it looks like we will be heading to elbaf after this |

| Can we go higher than this? This is a peak arc and this chapter made me tear up and smiling all together.... We are in the endgame and i love Vegapunk design. |
| Awww...that was such a wholesome chapter for Robin. I'm happy for my girl. |
 |
| So much to unpack this chapter. We got to see Dragon again, Saul is apparently still alive (*insert Better Call Saul joke*), Vegapunk is out here dropping more lore on the events surrounding and following the Ohara incident.....man Oda is cooking. And lol Vegapunk's design, there's the old man everyone was expecting. I still remember the freak out when everyone thought the Lilith body was the real Vegapunk. This is why you wait for Oda to reveal more, people, stop jumping the gun. Vegapunk's character design is just as goofy and as wacky as one would expect from One Piece lol. It was nice for Robin to get some closure about some of the things that happened on that fateful day, and it looks like we may be closer to that long-awaited Elbaf arc after all ๐ |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
Did not see anyone mantion this, but randomly as I was looking at young Dragon I noticed that on his leg is the same symbol that is later on, tattoed on his face. So I thought, that maybe it's the symbol of these freedom fighters, and maybe they were executed by WG so Dragon tattoed this symbol in their memory. And maybe that's another reason why he founded RA.  |
| OOOOODDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA How in the world does no design of Vegapunk piss the mark? I adore them all; his original form is so hilarious and on point. I gotta say, I don't know how I feel about Saul still being alive, let's see how he can contribute to the overall story, now we know at least that not only Ussopp is out like with Elbaf, Robi has the motive to go there too. |
| THE WILL OF OHARA LIVES ON. Poor Robin :( Her backstory is insanely relevant now Franky is questioning why Kuma helped them... Do they still not know? Do we know? Huh? I'M SO HAPPY FOR ROBIN WOOO SAUL IS ALIVE I love Vegapunk's design and this is what I imagined he would look like since he was first ever mentioned in the story. Well... except the long-ass head lmao! Goofy designs like his are one of the things that make One Piece special. He's a damn caricature of that one Albert Einstein picture. PRAISE ODAAAAAAAAAAAAAA  Ohara... Vegapunk... Dragon... Elbaf... Saul... in one chapter... This is truly the final saga lmfao |

| Vegapunk literally the embodiment of Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton. what's more crazy is that he literally cut off his brain, either split into 7 brain part (including the real one) or he stored somewhere else where it's still intact. we're glad to see the aftermath of Ohara, the knowledge didn't really gone and that makes them technically the winner. now that all of Strawhats know the history, I bet their bounty would skyrocket after meeting with Rob Lucci and (probably) "kidnapped" Vegapunk out of there, gaining a tremendous and terrifying power of technology in the proccess. |
| og vegapunk reveal, dragon flashback with him. nice chapter. detailing is good. there's gonna be more next one. |
 |
| No books were burned, Jaguar was alive all this time and somehow Vegapunk memorized all the books? I'm really not a fan of how Oda has been writing lately. |
 |
| WOOOOOWW, what a chapter! The whole thing was incredible. Pacing was great. Vegapunk looks insane LMAO his forehead is bigger than him ๐ Ohara winning is so cool as well, also I don’t really mind jaguar d saul being alive, idk if people have a problem with that. Just such a cool chapter, another 11/10. The egghead arc continues to be absolutely insane. One of the best chapters of the series maybe. |
| Penguins are funny |
| really enjoyed this chapter when I read the title of the chapter I already knew it was gonna go hard Tho I really dont like how saul is still alive its another case where oda just doesnt want to kill his characters even if they have been thought dead of for decades, although I have to admit that robin panel makes it somewhat worth it this time around lol |
EvocationWizard said: No books were burned, Jaguar was alive all this time and somehow Vegapunk memorized all the books? I'm really not a fan of how Oda has been writing lately. 'Cause he's a bad writer now tbh. Seriously why did he have the WG agents completely ignore the books? The whole point of the Buster Call was to destroy Ohara because the WG claimed Clover and his research team were studying forbidden information about the Void Century, so why did the WG agents leave all those books - which contained parts of that information - in the damn lake? Why not destroy them? Also wtf was with Usopp? Why was he freaking out about learning forbidden information regarding the Ancient Kingdom when he and the other Straw Hats are already on the WG's hit list? Did he forget that he burned their flag - thereby declaring war on them - and that he's already got a bounty on his head? Why is Oda leaving huge plot holes like this, and then y'all just praise him with the usual "PEAK FICTION" bullshit? |
| So people who were saying that Vegapunk literally cutted his brain into different parts were right! lol Also is Vegapunk related to Vice admiral Strawberry or/and had the same "condition" in which his head grows more every time he gets sad. (SBS Volume 97)? |

(SBS Volume 97)? You might be thinking of Fukurokuju, but yes Strawberry also has that same condition, I don't think there's anything big to it, I think Oda just likes people to have weird head conditions like the seven gods of goof fortune of Japan that they're based on |
| Man marked by flames has to be Saul. No doubt about it. |
| So I guess that Vegapunk's island will be the next major battleground for the Strawhats as they try to stop the WG's assassination squad from killing off Vegapunk. |
| Crazy good this week |
I hope I can read One Piece weekly with my grandkids... in 2050  every One Piece week |
| Finally Vegapunk |
 |
| My mind exploded multiple times during this chapter, we keep peaking LMAO |

I'm really not a fan of how Oda has been writing lately. 1- A bunch of books were burned with the tree, only the ones they saved by throwing them into the sea were not toast, it's shown in the chapter/episode itself (though the historians literally died just to make sure the biggest amount of books were saved in their own capacity). 2- Not too surprising, Aokiji said Robin could still save her completely frozen friends if she was quick (he froze Luffy from top to bottom in a very similar way), during the climax of Long Ring Long Land arc (which means, he knew people could survive his freezing skills, meaning he may just have done that himself successfully by saving Jaguar, considering the blood in his eyes when he realized the Buster Call was bombing even Marines still on the island, including high officers like himself. I always found weird he wouldn't help Jaguar (a great friend of his, may I remind you) right after his change of heart with Robin, considering from that point on he started to hate the World Government, unless he died far quicker than Luffy and the others resisted. No mention of his body either, since the Marines basically annihilated the entire island and left. 3- Vegapunk, the greatest mind of a manga series with absurdly crazy human feats, memorizing all of the research available from Ohara must be the least suspension of disbelief I've ever seen someone complain about in One Piece lol; you are in fact, the very first. Try Zoro losing almost all of the blood in his body in Thriller Bark and surviving at least. Humans in One Piece are built differently, and Oda already stated as such in the SBS, it has been like that since the very start, it's not the writing "going bad", it has always been cartoony with capabilities of the cast.

The whole point of the Buster Call was to destroy Ohara because the WG claimed Clover and his research team were studying forbidden information about the Void Century, so why did the WG agents leave all those books - which contained parts of that information - in the damn lake? Why not destroy them? 1- First, WG agents were never present in Buster Calls, only Marines, which is why they even kill each other as long as they utterly eliminate WG's threats. Of course they wouldn't care about a bunch books, Marines didn't know a thing about the Poneglyphs nor why they were called to attack Ohara for their supposed devilish conspiracy by part of their inhabitants. The chapter on itself shows the 5 Elders straight lying to the Marines regarding the actual reason, and executing anyone who dared to even hint on the name of the ancient kingdom through their den-den mushi call with Clover. It's confidential information that would get any Marine of any degree executed (hell, the Buster Call on itself cared less about higher ups getting blown up with the island, to Aokiji's utmost distaste). Their information is so controlled that barely any Marine knew about Rocks' era other than veterans, let alone the void century and the content of anything Poneglyph-related that wasn't the weapons (aka, information few had access to, and mostly seeking the rumored weapons of mass destruction/their blueprints, which were the BIG REASON the WG used to ban poneglyph reading). 2- Their efforts after destroying the island was not to check if was anything left, and even Vegapunk stated they might not have even noticed the books underwater (and in case they did, the Marines had no idea of how important they were, which is just natural, considering they weren't in orders to destroy books, but to savage an entire island to the ground, and their people with prejudice, civilian or not), but to ensure by every single possible means the persecution of Robin through worldwide propaganda. They went on for decades trying to get her, and still do (her demise was top priority even as late as in their Wano mission). Like, just calling it bad writing while having the guts of having One Piece in your favorites, at least reread the damn relevant parts to the plot when they come back hundreds of chapters later, it doesn't seem to me you actually care that much for the setup of this favorite manga of yours at all. Also wtf was with Usopp? Why was he freaking out about learning forbidden information regarding the Ancient Kingdom when he and the other Straw Hats are already on the WG's hit list? Did he forget that he burned their flag - thereby declaring war on them - and that he's already got a bounty on his head? Why is Oda leaving huge plot holes like this, and then y'all just praise him with the usual "PEAK FICTION" bullshit? 1- Usopp always freak out about this stuff from the start. A guaranteed death sentence is not really surprising of a thing to do as such either. It was the usual Usopp scared comic relief moment, and you are nitpicking at this point, it's not a fucking plot hole LOL 2- People calling it peak fiction are hardly part of any argument you may try to make, just say the fanboys annoy you and be done with it. 3- Lastly, this is what can be objectively called great writing, these books were Chekhov's Guns, an extremely apparent example of the The Law of Conservation of Detail (if the books were being thrown into the sea to save their research at all costs, of course later in the story, this very detail will become relevant, instead of being just fluff, aka arguably poor writing, or rather: a plot point that goes nowhere in a story where almost everything important mentioned go somewhere). |
