OMFG!!! What a chapter!!!!

NO WAY, that is vegapunk. I didn't expected him to be like that and HIS FOREHEAD, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dragon looked soo Fu*king Cool 20+ years ago!!!
Robin is Happy and I'm happy as well that Saul survived. And the fact that Oda literally hinted that he is alive by Aokiji's attack is great.

So, Kid is looking for Saul.
And we are 100% going to have Elbaf arc with Kid & Shanks in it too!

Ohara won dereshishishi(because Oda writes the average soldier to be dumb)

Present Vegapunk = Einstein lol

His head looked crazy before. Enough filling for 6 new bodies fr.


Here we go again. It was theorized so much, especially in recent months that Saul survived. And indeed he's confirmed to be alive. To 99% he's the man Kid's looking for. Oda already subtly hinted at the possibility when Robin reacted in chapter 1056. We haven't seen her overwhelmed by emotions like this in a minute. Her snotty smile was so damn cute.

These chapters are bomb. Many, many plot points are converging in this arc. Yet still not as much new info on the Void Century. The fact that there was a war bettwen the 20 allied nations and the ancient kingdom was something pretty much everyone already figured out by simply adding 1+1 together.

I'm hyped for more as always. Luffy meeting Dragon, when?

The big question however is, why did Dragon not tell Robin about any of this? I guess he doesn't know that Robin and Saul know each other and respects her enough to know that she will eventually find the answers on her own.

She probably didn't want to receive even the slightest hint herself

This has to be the worst blunder the World Government ever made. They went so far to eradicate the "threat" of the archeologists, committing genocide in the process, only to leave all those books lying there.

Vegapunk's design looks awesome! The reference to the famous Albert Einstein's tongue picture is obvious but cool nonetheless. Also the apple on his head could be a reference to Newton's apple.

Holy shit what a great chapter. That smile on Robin's face 😩♥️.What will shaka show to Robin? I can't wait. Vegapunk's design sucks tho and it will suck even more in the anime, a character with his/her tongue always out will always suck with its design imo.

What a CHAPTER!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Fiesta of revelations!

Robin. 💜🥺 Meanwhile Saul is still alive?! Him meeting up with Kuzan in the future would be interesting to witness. 👀

Vegapunk's (past) design is a nice matchup vs. eccentric design of adult Gon. 😆

Vegapunk (present) is even more interesting though: while it might be a reference to Newton's apple, an apple is usually deemed as a symbol for knowledge and that's probably what Oda was going for. Combining this with other elements of mythology: Vegapunk could be seen as 'fall of man and sin' in the eye of the Government as this is an appropriate design for him given his assumed coming demise.

It's getting ridiculous and nauseating in a GOOD way and it's indeed getting harder and harder to decide if Oda keeps dropping chapters of THIS caliber. 😩 Honestly I don't think I will be able to rank or decide a chapter of the year at this point. 😆

@BarelyCreative Yes it is, something no one's mention yet is that Saul is literally the ONLY fakeout death in OP, not including Usopp's in Arlong Park, and Orochi's (double) deaths in Wano which were both explained and expected to not go through (until Orochi's actual death with his last head), to work for the story, not against it. Kuzan's attack he used against Saul was only used then and there to my knowledge, literally named "time capsule" and earlier at the end of Lrll Robin was able to break free from Kuzan's ice, so it completely makes sense that he's still alive! I am 100% convinced now he's leading SWORD. Also, does anyone else now want to see Buggy and Caesar interact? I need to see that

I like that Vegapunk's current design is similar to that of Albert Einstein. Tongue out and everything.

I teared up with seeing Robin's backstory again, and even more so when she started crying from happiness after learning that Saul was alive. My heart!

Damn what a chapter! Dr. Vegapunk is turning out to be everything I hoped he would be. I was worried he would be more of a government lapdog but all these lore drops in one chapter and his connections t the world really took things up a notch! Now that we've got plot advancement for the top fighters I could see this arc really developing for Franky, Robin, and Ussop. It's turning into Enies Lobby 2.0!

Wow, so much information, I knew when I saw the title The Will of Ohara that this was going to be a big chapter.
I think the giants having all the books gives a good set-up for the Elbaf arc we have all been expecting for so long!
It's so surreal after all these years to finally see what Vegapunk really looks like, and wow I can't say I expected that design LOL! But it also looks like his head's been cut in half or something now!?
Anyway it was a great chapter and it was awesome to know Saul is still alive and seeing the look of relief on Robin's face made me really happy.

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.

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

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 👀

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.

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 tears wouldn't stop flowing. Franky and Robin's backstories even now are the most poignant that Oda has ever been. Robin deserves to see Saulo alive again. Plus a whole island died from a buster call, including Robin's mom and everyone she grew up with. What's so horrible about a guy we know does his own thing, letting Saulo go? Saulo's being alive is not Pell or any other fakeout One Piece deaths. Be happy for Robin.


The first couple pages were knowledge almost every reader knew about, so I thought we were wasting time. Then it turned out Clover was way more badass then we ever knew, and his organization's demise was the defining factor in Dragon waging war on the World Government. You love to see it. What a chapter!


Germa made it out of Whole Cake Island! That's how you get it done!

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.

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.
