[@Yusuf_K7]

To be honest, in the previous chapter, he sounds helpless, saying he’s “merely a cog in the system”. His attitude in this chapter, talking back to Saturn, seems like a desperate attempt to maintain some of his individuality. In other words, “I’m ultimately bound to obey you like a servant, but I can’t compromise on this.” I still like Kizaru though, and this makes his situation more relatable.

[@BruceCruce]

He literally goes on a monologue about being nothing more than a tool, can't save sentomaru even though he wants to etc.

[@arpadszabo661]

Kizaru was ready to pull up to Wano around the beginning of the arc. It was Akainu that told him not to go. I really want to see him go all out. I hope we get it in this arc. With Blackbeard going there though… I don’t like his chances. Luffy and BB has some beef but neither of them are going to choose to side with an admiral against the other. It would be also pretty symbolic for the darkness fruit to defeat the light fruit.

​@@maximumcockage6503 I wonder if Oda wants to do kicker vs. kicker to determine the best/fastest/strongest in each realm. With zoro it is a different story because his dream is to become the strongest swordsman so it hopefully will come true with a win against mihawk. But on other fights I think Oda doesnt prefer to pick same vs same (please proof me wrong, I'm eager to learn). For me this is not a question of what fits best but of what Oda finds best for his series and he certainly doesnt like predicable outcomes (this is why I still love one piece). I think Zoro was hit the hardest after luffy on sabaody, because he really wanted to protect the crew and gave himself the duty to win the hardest battles, if luffy isnt around. Either way, theoresists will tell me that it was predictable after it happened 😅

"What's a planet to a sun" is a nice symbolical touch on Luffy overriding S-Snakes programming, but I think the more important theme here is that there is a power to human emotion that the celestial dragons don't understand, and thus they underestimate it and it will cost them dearly. It's a bit on an antiquated trope we've seen a thousand times in stories, because we can all sense there is a beautiful truth to it. The connection Luffy made with Hancock has become part of her actual DNA or lineage factor, which means that the friends we make actually become a literal part of us in some kind of metaphysical sense. I absolutely love this little twist because it fits the narrative of the story and Luffy as a character so perfectly.

[@awolr]

I agree. My thought is somewhat along the lines of emotion creates will because stronger emotions are more likely to lead us to react. It seems as Vegapunk supposes that this will is part of their DNA and can override their programming. It makes even more sense that her power is explained as "exploiting strong emotions". I wonder if her devil fruit actually turns another's will to stone. There's a chance that by using the emotional weaknesses of the seraphim, they can change who they serve.

[@Suto_Ko]

yeah, the theme of the power of human emotion and connection is definitely an important one in One Piece. Luffy's ability to override S-Snake's programming and the connection he made with Hancock showcases the strength of those bonds. It's a beautiful twist that adds depth to the story and Luffy as a character.

[@teddz2k4]

I agree, hence why he said the two biggest trouble making out of the warlords are s-flamingo and s-crocodile. Both of their ambition going to be big.

yeah, S-Flamingo and S-Crocodile are definitely troublemakers and have big ambitions. As for Crocodile's Devil Fruit, it's uncertain if it's a Logia since Vegapunk hasn't replicated Logia fruits yet. The rust-rust fruit guy from Enies Lobby did cause trouble for Zoro's sword though.@@teddz2k4

And at the end they both unleashed their strongest attacks and Luffy’s was stronger. The narrative is clear that Luffy had to surpass Kaido. He did.

@@mmem4264 He wasn't bad, he was just raised wrong. I wouldn't call him good, per se, either, but you can't say he was bad because of all the ways he was failed. I think people don't actually see the nuance of his and Corazon's story. While they both came from the same starting line, one was old enough to be used to a certain way of life while the other was still young enough to be flexible about it, but if their roles afterwards had been swapped - Doffy picked up by Sengoku and Cora picked up by Trebol - their lives and characters would have been different in various ways. Would Doffy have been as 'good' as Cora? Probably not, but he'd have been a lot better than he was because he'd have been raised in a caring environment - he'd have still had a lot of trauma to work through because he understood the world around him and what was happening a lot more than his baby brother did at the time that everything happened and would have harboured a lot of resentment still but with time and care he could have come through to adulthood with a better outlook on life and a desire to change the world in the right way. Would Cora have been as bad as Doffy was? Probably not - he was a calmer personality, but he would have still have been raised to be evil and do evil things. Trebol would have manipulated him until he got what he wanted - a tame Celestial Dragon to use and call his own. Even in Dressrosa you could see points where Trebol issued orders to Doffy and while Doffy gave him the side-eye, he still did them. He was conditioned to look at Trebol as someone to follow. Cora wouldn't have done better if raised like that. At the end of the day, neither of them were really given a choice in how they turned out - they were raised by very different people to be very different people. Reminder that Trebol pretty much baited and pushed Doffy into killing his father, even providing the means to do so. If he'd never met that grooming fucktard, who knows how he would have turned out. Sure, darker than his brother, but probably not a raging psychopath. Even at the end of everything he did have people he cared for, after all, he just didn't let his feelings get in the way - as he'd been raised.

It would be a big twist and show how much trust the crew place on their captain after the events that took place in Wano. Like I said not sure it would be fitting for the character of Luffy but I feel it would be even more impactful *because* it doesn't fit Luffy's usual reactions.

[@maxogaming6244]

I love how lucci is giving kaku a therapist session in the background of the panel

[@ishigami5071]

What is so suspicious about bonney? Last time we saw her she saw her father's flashbacks and his motives In those flashbacks she probably fiinds out why je does what he is doing and that he fine and he love her or that she came to understand everything that worries her about her father and she also finally forgive vegapunk cuz she understands why he turned kuma to a cyborg

[@monkeydgutz8311]

Some Tards Really doesn't Like the Fact that Sanji Rizzed A Girl.. You can clearly See even When Sanji Fighting With S-Shark.. They Were Saying that He Broke His leg..🤡

[@EmporerDragon]

I really hope that Hancock sees a picture of Luffy with S-Snake and just winds up believing that S-Snake is her and Luffy's daughter.

[@emenikeoz4226]

the way that zorro just casually says let's switch places against a marine admiral is crazy.😂

[@7thlittleleopard7]

In regards to Bonney - she just had a cathartic night of learning her father's deepest secrets and crying it all out, then got fed by a guy who literally lives to dote on lovely ladies. Of course girl is happy right now - she's purged her hatred of Vegapunk, eaten a hefty meal, met a cute guy who is really doting and gives out free food AND has made a food-buddy in Luffy. Who wouldn't be much happier after that?

[@audreyheng8275]

I hope the crew doesn’t split up. I don’t just want Usopp only to see Elbaf I want the whole crew. I want to see all their reactions to elbaf and them to learn that big mom lived there and killed a giant when she was 5. And also I’m just wish for more straw hat interactions, we haven’t had enough post time skip cause everything is more serious and high stakes.

[@WGoodall]

I feel like during the fight with Kizaru (and within Elbaf) we'll get some flashbacks as to what we missed in Egghead, I believe Oda has found an interesting way to vastly progress the plot whils't revealing important details later

[@bradabdul]

I think Elbaf is a Red Herring-- With Lucci leaking info to the Marines, the gap is going to close and measures taken to adjust for the crew's escape plan. Since Vega Force 1 can only go as far as Egghead's airspace, I think Vegapunk will have some means to take VF1 upward instead of outward, and we might land ourselves in a Lunarian arc, reuniting with Enel and getting some info on the ancient weapons etc.

[@ahahaja1136]

this would be interesting but only work if they don’t have combat up there. Cuz having combat in an area with no air would end up with most strawhats dead

[@bradabdul]

I mean, Enel ended up there and there's a civilization up there. I feel like there's probably some kind of atmosphere. Plus, we have Vegapunk, so the possibilities of space gear is high on that front. @@ahahaja1136

[@star-rock6466]

That was a believable theory until you mentioned enel

[@bradabdul]

Why, what's wrong with Enel? As far a we know, he is still on the Moon, and he is one of the few villains that haven't made their way back into the story in some way (minus Kuro and Krieg). @@star-rock6466

[@IAmMightyMike]

I don't expect a full on Kizaru defeat from the story, but having Luffy out do him in a quick battle while escaping and showcasing his growth is just as hype

[@JoãoDias-285]

I really liked that Vegapunk was surprised when Franky said that their ship could fly for 1 Km and that it was powered by Cola

[@mannyischronicallyonline]

If Rob Luci paid enough attention when spying he may have even told the government that Chopper was not a mascot but the Straw Hats doctor correcting that also fearsome bounty of his

[@Nagore6305]

Taking on an admiral is actually the most logical way to safely get off the island. Just like Zoro said about Fujitora in Dressrosa, as long as an admiral is here, there is no way for the Straw-hats to escape safely. I also hope Franky uses Atlas' gloves to help stop Kizaru since they can touch light. I can see him at least punching Kizaru or block a laser beam from him as they escape. I also think instead of Luffy, Zoro fights him to have a chance at round 2 for what happened pre-timeskip. Though its obvious Kizaru will eventually be Sanji's end fight considering he prefers kick fighting.

[@atbz6952]

I love the callback from impel down when Luffy thanked S-Snake and her mistaking him saying he loved her.

[@Patrick-ng1vg]

A fun idea is that Luffys final reaction is actually someone else arriving on the island because yes, it is weird seeing him scared after both Fujitora and Ryokugyu. Perhaps someone more blackbearded was on that sneaking ship and Luffy sensed another emperor of the sea.

[@MetakJesu07]

How is that fun? Luffy has also met Blackbeard before and just defeated another Yonko...so why wouldn't it be Kizaru? What difference would it make, is he not a top tier like Blackbeard and the rest?

[@Growlzagra]

It’s an interesting feeling seeing Robin being treated during the current story. Usually after fights involving her she’s already patched up and is up and about.

[@Triggernpf]

Idea: While trying to escape the Thousand Sunny will run into a fuel issue leaving it temporarily unable to remain airborne after VegaForce 1 fails. Sanji despite his best efforts cannot Soru the entire ship on his back for long, but the fed Cipher Pol agents betray the world government and Soru into the sky and help hold the ship until Franky & Vegapunk introduce Super Cola (or mother flame) as the new power source and fly much furter than before all the way to Elbaf. This way Luffy does not immediately run into Shanks.

[@RaidSpinel]

Saying Bonney is Devon makes no sense to me. How did she get in the lab? If you ask me, her interactions make her seem like she's an actual kid, mood swings, scared of bugs, doesnt listen to people. Saturn meant it, she is a child

[@clubs9247]

I feel as though after the straw hats flee egghead, the marines will be scouring egghead and find the real Bonney emerging from Kuma’s memories, confirming it’s not the real Bonney on Sunny with the crew.

[@willrivera1517]

I like how nobody is comparing the showing of kizaru at the end of the chapter to when greenbull shows up on wano. It's clear the new admirals aren't as powerful by a wide margin. Luffy has bad memories with kizaru and akainu and still doesn't know their full strength. So of course he reacts that way. The same could probably be said about aokiji if he acted menacing at any point on punk hazard. They have shown they can fight with emperor's the new guys not so much

[@cleond.kingfire9113]

Awessome video! I loved it. But I still dont understand why people think Luffy was afraid of Kizaru rather than Saturn. It only makes sense that the 5 Elder Stars could be more powerful than the average Admiral!

[@dimitrisdallas4306]

Regarding Bonnie's mood, is it possible that she "absorbed" Kuma's memory/consciousness bubble the same way Zoro absorbed Luffy's pain? I am assuming if they have to leave Egghead, can they really leave "Kuma" behind?

[@josephwiessner1558]

I have a personal theory that Boa Hancock's ancestor was part of Joyboy's crew and loved him which would explain why the lineage factor also affected S-Snake because I doubt she was cloned around the same time as Luffy meeting Boa on Amazon Lily.

[@rohitnagar2166]

Doesnt anyone think that kizaru reaching to strawhats like sabaody would be the best time for them to take revenge on him for past trauma.

[@pablolacalle6098]

I do hope Oda lets Kizaru be genuinely menacing despite the Straw Hats post-Wano powerups. I think we need to see that the World Government has players can still be a genuine Endgame threat, God's Knights and Gorosei etc aside

[@Darien4life]

I really like that Luffy can sense just how powerful Kizaru is unlike the last time he saw any of the 3 admirals all the way back in Marineford. His ignorance allowed him to do so much back then whilst everyone else around him felt the danger but could not fully perceive the threat. Luffy with Haki now allows him so much more perception.

[@gab4198]

it is not that he was ignorant,he and his entire crew were defeated with no chance to fight back against 2 of the admirals at marineford, it was more of a moment he didn't have options, it was do or (ace) die(s) moment. Luffy does admit kizaru is strong and no one ever said the admirals were weak, they definitely are not to be taken lightly, but i think luffy is strong enought to beat him, else they will have to explain why kizaru is so much stronger than green bull and fujitora. I think luffy will have his redemption from sabnaody by defeating kizaru or at least showing how much stronger he got during all that time he spent training, luffy's statement about a strong foe aproaching is maybe because he is now worried about his crew, nami and ussop specialy are fragile, robin, franky brook and chopper would put some fight and i think the only ones who have a chance besides luffy would be sanji zoro and jinbe, if the strawhats have to fight kizaru now they have something to worry about, while kizaru can just go all out and with his light speed attacks someone could really get hurt in the crossfire.

[@austinnoliphant]

I love that Boa Hancock loves Luffy so much that even her clone will do anything Luffy says. It's part of her lineage factor 😆.

[@johnnk3256]

30k marines mean nothing. One Conqueror's Haki blast will fold them down in one move. 😂

[@FlorianNexuzZ]

I really enjoyed Franky proudly telling Vegapunk about the sunny's abilities, Franky looked up to Vegapunk and not he created something that his idol respects i felt chills reading that and almost teared up :)

[@BaptizedBalkan]

I think SCrocodile will actually be good since his dream is to be the pirate king. Also crocodile helped alot during marineford

[@dyingwood]

very good chapter, glad to see Kuro after literal decades too

[@quinn756]

I think it makes sense for Kizaru to go down right here (or soon). Seeing as he’s the only Admiral not replaced post-time skip- and with Garp’s disappearance- it’s time to usher in that new era and replace Kizaru with someone new.

[@chrisbelos2834]

that and the fact that the elder didn't mention saving admirals as a priority. my take is : kizaru is gonna eat a mother flame in the face

[@injxcted_]

it's crazy that in a few chapters luffy will fight both kizaru and shanks. im sooo hypeddd i've been waiting years for luffy to meet and fight shanks and it's finally going to happen

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Wow we had 3 double page spreads this chapter and how Luffy responded on the snail kinda surprised me with Lucci giving up info but how/what did he say. Also we're going to Elbaf LFG loved the reactions of the boiz and Kizaru zipping right over to Sentomaru that will be interesting plus S Snake succumbing to Luffy was great lol not to mention Bonney seems different to me like could she be Catarina Devon

[@coyotetherapy8737]

That panel of saint jay garcia saturn comparing humans to insects reminded me of Father's speech in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

[@lmSpeciaI]

People write Kizaru off too often. I genuinely feel like Oda is cooking something big for him. He's so elusive noone really knows how strong he could actually be.

[@KvnDodd]

My theory as to why Luffy looked scared is that when puffy fights strong opponents he's always away from his crew or at least not in striking distance. (That's excepted Zoro and Sanji). And he knows Robin and some of his crew are already in bad shape. I think like you said he's going to send a part of his crew off to Elbalf while he stays behind.

[@KvnDodd]

Or Sanji could stay behind since it's been a while he hasn't been on an adventure of his own where he comes back with intel

[@samfisher6606]

This was an excellent chapter. It really sets up nicely the coming fight. I was hoping we would get more of the fight the night before than we did but I'm overall fine with it because it really shows the power of the Straw Hats. I love that the CP5 and & agents are kind of on the Straw Hats side because they save their lives. Rob Lucci you assh*le! Just die! I hope it’s Kaku who kills him. I do think the woman saying “Don’t say anything” was Nami. It was just Ju Peter guessing/ wondering if it was Robin. Because if you think about it, the Gorosei have never heard Robin’s voice. They wouldn’t know what she sounds like. Has Morgans not heard Luffy say “Im going to be king of the pirates” before? And I know Vivi, Morgans, and Wapol are on their way to Egghead, but how close are they? Because it really feels like they are setting up Vivi to rejoin the Straw Hats, or at least journey with them to Elbaf. And it was really great to see Kuro again. I hope this mean we will get cover requests for the other East Blue villains because of the Live Action Series.

[@bongo5343]

It took me so long to realise all 7 warlords are inspired by animals

[@emeraldhoarder2298]

I like to think that the fear on Luffy's face is more the trauma from Sabaody than anything else. The last time the strawhats saw Kizaru the entire crew had to be completely separated just to survive.

[@gabrielbleile4720]

It is time we talk about Brook and Kuzan's relationship as father and son.

[@spooder-man4782]

Not gonna lie it would be crazy if Kizaru kills a straw hat and Luffy unlocks gear 6 and calls it "Gear Death"

[@PeakSight-kv6wi]

This is why Oda shouldnt listen to its fans ideas especially naruto fans.

[@tristanalain9239]

I think the dread look for Kizaru I feel is a nice subtle thing. Luffy knowing its Kizaru, he has something akin to a trauma flashback, as losing his crew was definitely the second most traumatic event in his life (losing Ace is the easily the most), and now he has one of the men responsible for that (the one who no-diffed his entire crew, and were basically only able to escape of Kuma scattering them) is definitely not something Luffy wants to deal with. I think this is the fight he dreads the most in the series.

[@BeePeeTV]

Imagine if Bonclay finally comes back around the time as Devon. She gets captured by the straw hats. And then bon clay returns disguised as her as the perfect double agent 🤣🤣🤣 it probably won't happen. But it would generally be hysterical.

[@Onyeka.N]

I think Luffy's reaction might not be indicating Kizaru but Saturn.

[@angelofdeath7207]

I actually kinda wanna see vegapunk reprogram s-snake to only listen to the straw hats/have free will and she permanantly joins the straw hats i think thatd be really funny and shes a powerhouse so shed help a lot in fights

I wish the reason we havent seen buggy seraphim is because it's gonna be a big reveal that he's gonna be saint saturn bodyguard. I really want to see luffy reaction.

[@sopa33]

For people talking about that luffy noticed saturn not kizaru, you can see in the last panel of luffy scared, kizaru slowly shaping behind him

[@noahcarmicheal1239]

Bonney probably changed her personality after spending so much time in Kuma's blue paw. The strain on her body physically, mentally and emotionally has probably caused her to become almost the opposite of who she was at the beginning of the arc.

[@tobiaswedin]

Considering what we've gotten so far about Elbaf culture I'm super stoked about finally getting there with the crew! As a Swede everything Elbafian hits home so hard as they're all references to my own culture. The moment Oda actually included a semla of all things my jaw literally dropped, we still to this day have a national semla day here in Sweden and the winter solstace is still a comon topic each december as we enter a stage of no sunlight for days or weeks! lol I'm gonna feel like the smartest guy in the room as soon as Elbaf becomes the community topic

No sunlight is a swedish thing? Oh okay, Finland and Norway would like to disagree. So probably not the smartest guy.

@@Akspee Why are you taking offense? Can't a swedish person be excited to share things that are part of swedish culture? It was never told to be unique to Sweden, however one can definitly say it's a swedish thing because it do exist in Sweden. If it's norse mythology inspired in Elbaf then this is something that all the nordic can relate to, at least for the scandnavian nations. Must be a joy for all the nordics to see, to know the references added into the story being told by Odas himself. Exciting don't you think? "I feel like the smartest in the room" there is no way you took that seriously, I believe you are meant to interpreted it as (cool so I be able to notice some of the details and inspirations right from the start since it's close to my own culture while others might have no clue about it's background). Let's be happy for each other instead of throwing insults ok.

[@Kaxinhoxd]

I think this chapter somewhat explains why everyone was able to escape Kizaru in sabaody, they didnt want to fight him so he just let them run away. Might be misremembering tbh.

[@Someaddress555s]

Off of your idea of S Snake eventually giving into Luffy and ignoring orders, S Bear would do it too for his daughter Bonney, and maybe S Croc would also do it for Luffy? If Crocomom is still a theory.

[@RoronoaZoro-ow1vz]

Luffy didnt say anything about Kaido because he just developed the Haki sensing 'ability' Like Vegeta developed the Aura sensing in Namek after Planet Earth

[@jbk3692]

Im definitely noticing the new style, the score at the beginning and everything. Love it. Please, keep it

[@oscarmiranda9532]

Yeah, I think that the crew will split up. With the first team taking both york and stella. And the second team staying to fight the marines. That way, when they get there Shanks is not there anymore or something has happen.

[@storymaster164]

I would love if Vivi finally came back to the crew and it feels more and more feasible as the chapters go on. Especially after the whole thing with Ainu, the Five Elder Stars and Cobra. Like it’s obviously dangerous for her to back to Alabasta and Big News Morgan can only keep her safe for so long if that is what he’s doing. Or if he’s just keeping her around for that BIG NEWS story with her father then once he has it what’s to stop him from just kicking her to the curb. Either way her odd of and nicety for returning to the crew keeps becoming more likely. Hopefully we don’t get total blue balls like we did with both Carrot and Yamato.

[@siesaber6283]

My hope for Elbaph is that at the end of it, Usopp should stay behind saying he’s going to train there to become actually strong. Maybe even Vivi could rejoin them there as a sort of temporary replacement.

[@legend3454]

I could potentially see Luffy maturing as a captain and deciding to escape the island and not risking the lives of his crew or the Vegapunks. Luffy coming to understand that there's a difference between running away because you can't win and running away because you shouldn't be fighting would be a nice character moment for him.

[@DorianTheReaper]

I believe luffy's face shows concern rather than fear. Perhaps cuz he knows that its kizaru and that he was the one who made the crew split up last time

[@devinnall2284]

My Catarina Devon theory is that instead of replacing anyone on the Strawhats group she's somehow going to replace Saint Saturn which would give Blackbeard an enormous advantage since he could use that position to do any number of dastardly things

Can't wait for the Boa Hancock vs S-Snake b*tchfight over who gets to marry Luffy.

[@4zechan271]

Another is that we already see Kizaru's light already up there with Luffy and we see a lot of light on luffy's hair meaning Kizaru already beated Sentomaru and is heading up already, so next chapter could be that Luffy is getting kicked by Kizaru.

[@adamnotley4751]
