Wish her a happy birthday?

My guy, her birthday present is gonna be seeing that spider fuck get his ass kicked for all he's done to Kuma and her family.

Bonney/Luffy/Kuma/Vegapunk: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DA GROUND!

Saturn has to die here. I won't accept anything less.

663

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

The leadup to the arc said something major went down. Either Kizaru is gonna ignore an order and help Bonney/Vegapunk or Saturn is getting demolished by someone.

u/raidorz Dec 21 '23

Insert “why not both?” meme

167

u/hdjfhfhsh05803hfjc Dec 21 '23

An elder dying and an admiral going rogue does sound like the type of big news the narrator was hinting at

4

u/WhyyyLuigi Dec 22 '23

When was that hint at something big happening again? I want to go back and read it again

2

u/DRAGON-ZEE The Revolutionary Army Dec 23 '23

It was said some ground shattering event occurred that shocked the whole world

13

u/Marcusafrenz Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

We've had one ass beating yes, but what about a second ass beating?

9

u/far219 The Revolutionary Army Dec 21 '23

Beat the fuck outta saturn, revive him and beat his ass all over again

2

u/ddizbadatd24 Dec 22 '23

Wizaru for nakama

208

u/Sirecarrot Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

Honestly, if Kizaru found out everything I think it might help push him over the edge. He clearly doesn't like anything that is going on right now.

142

u/th5virtuos0 Dec 21 '23

It’ll be such a lol plot twist if Kizaru joins the SH. So instead of having Aokiji vs Akainu rematch we get Kizaru vs Aokiji instead

68

u/BeyondTomorrow Dec 21 '23

Would love to see a 3-way fight between all of them. Each one repping different sides if Kizaru does join the SH. Good pirates v Bad pirates v Navy

75

u/WhateverWombat Dec 21 '23

It’d make more sense to have Kizaru join the revolutionary army? So it’s Revolutionaries vs Pirates vs WG.

Also vegapunk will probs go chill with dragon and sentomaru will definitely be with him always.

24

u/Worthyness Dec 21 '23

Definitely revolutionaries. He and Sentomaru would be there to protect Vegapunk

24

u/BeyondTomorrow Dec 21 '23 edited Dec 21 '23

I like this concept better. Vegapunk talents better suited for an army. In my head I had revolutionaries with SH as the good pirates, but it should be more like the heroes.

5

u/zaxls Dec 21 '23

Ngl never thought of this angle, thatd be freaking epic

12

u/imaninfraction Dec 21 '23

That'd be cool just because I want the Strawhats to have a Logia.

7

u/rampantBias Dec 22 '23

Strawhats do have a logia, you forgot caribou?

11

u/Alphaeon_28 Dec 21 '23

If that’s the case imagine how Sanji would react being pushed to No. 5, and, that there’s someone on the crew who can presumably do much stronger kicks than him

14

u/KobeFanNumber24 Dec 21 '23

Dude i feel you but an admiral Joining is never happening lol that's just too OP. And yes BB has aokiji but luffy has zoro sanji and jinbe

15

u/TheNoFrame Dec 21 '23

I don't necessarily want him joining, but I think we are already over the point where someone would be too OP for SH crew. People were also saying this about Yamato. But Luffy Sanji and Zoro are upgrading extremely every arc. Luffy with Awakening can go toe to toe with strongest characters. I don't want to fall into powerscalling discusion here, but even if Zoro and Sanji are not strong enough to go with admiral 1on1, one major fight later and they will get upgraded again probably. Jimbe probably won't get upgraded but I feel we didn't even see him go all out in fight and plays mostly support role letting bigger fights for main trio and just helping around with mid lvl opponents.

So just to tldr. I think we are over someone being too op. We didn't have Jimbe come straight after Fishman island because main crew had to catch up power wise, but I think we are over the point where one character would be so strong to solo carry whole crew. But IF we will get additions then probably Bonney with Kizaru going to revolutionaries, with Vegapunk or just chilling somewhere in the middle of the ocean before coming to help in final war.

6

u/littenthehuraira Dec 21 '23

Yeah I agree. Currently I'm expecting (hoping) Bonney to be the 10th member, and then Yamato and maybe Vivi joining the crew's last voyage to Raftel. Though since Bonney has a crew of her own she might just join the SH fleet and stay with her own crew members. Not that we have much adventure left in the manga anyway.

7

u/TheNoFrame Dec 21 '23

Are they alive though? I genuinely don't remember what happened with them or if they were even shown after BB caught her.

5

u/OkAd3805 Dec 21 '23

nah they gotta pick up laboon dorry broggy vivi conis her dad sky gandalf galley la bon clay shirahoshi the grand fleet carrot yamato bonney the dude in the treasure chest sabo and im probably forgetting like 20

u/MesaCityRansom Dec 21 '23

I don't think he'll join the Strawhats crew, but I think it's very possible that he will switch sides and ally with them.

4

u/littenthehuraira Dec 21 '23

That would feel like having a legendary pokemon in your playthrough that you got throughs trade or cheats.

2

u/ThatFlyingScotsman Dec 22 '23

I'm honestly starting to believe that Kizaru is somehow involved with either SWORD or the RA. Maybe the reason he didn't just instantly wipe the Strawhats at Sabaody wasn't just because of Rayleigh being there, but because he was hesitating in his actions.

6

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '23

Inb4 Blackbeard enters the scene and do something funny to Saturn.

9

u/Puzzleheaded_Farm122 Dec 21 '23

I'm leaning towards Bonney uses Distort Future on Luffy to be Nika, only to put Luffy in a prolonged G5 state, where Nika's will itself surfaces. Where Saturn gets freaking rocked and Nika's looney tune antics does something so bizarre and profound that it defies logic and understanding. Also figuring Kuma is showing up and self destructing on Saturn, it wouldn't be referenced like that without purpose, and it will be cathartic.

2

u/Cream253Team Dec 24 '23

Saturn getting killed by his own bomb would be so great.

5

u/Thecramosreddit Dec 21 '23

I think one of two things is going to happen. Either Luffy kicks some spider ass for all the world to see or Saturn reveals the world’s government general skullduggery and a major secret is revealed to world. Saturn doesn’t have to lose in the second option. A draw would be fine with the Luffy Fleet coming in for the rescue, but even a draw would be monumental. Just showing people that the gorosei’s power isn’t absolute would be a huge win.

5

u/pitchblackstar Pirate Dec 21 '23

if kizaru doesn't get off his ass here i will have lost all hope for him

5

u/Savagevandal85 Dec 21 '23

Next chapter is the last of this arc . I wonder if he gets beat up

3

u/Tabular Dec 21 '23

Maybe Kuma's memories, which were analyzed by that machine are going to get broadcast somehow.

4

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

Vega confirmed this chap that he has a way to look at the memories without touching them enough for the Paw thing to disappear, which means even with Bonney looking it's still there.

Ready to transmit...

2

u/OnePeacefulReader Dec 21 '23

Nah. I doubt it. Unless they have means to record it, i think the memories are gone for good. The bubble that kuma made is most prolly gone since bonnie touched it. Only if vp made a copy of it will it remain.

3

u/CelioHogane Dec 21 '23

Unless they have means to record it, i think the memories are gone for good.

If he can see them, he can record them.

2

u/OnePeacefulReader Dec 21 '23

Yeah its vp we are talking about, there is good chance that he has the means to do that.

But again rather than broadcasting it to the world, as some one else said, i think it should/would be used for powering up that giant robot or something along that line. But i think both these theories happening is a bit farfetched and the memories are gone for good.

Some sort of copy of the memories remaining will be great though.

2

u/beardedheathen Dec 21 '23

Or to be returned to kuma.

Stfu and let me have this

2

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

I am thinking his mind is in the robot now, and the robot is the Kuma attacking the Red Line atm

So whatever the failsafe switch is Vegapunk added was activated

3

u/Rag_H_Neqaj Dec 21 '23

There's something about the giant robot, too.

3

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

I am on the train of thought where the robot and Kuma swapped minds as Vegapunks own failsafe to avoid destroying Kuma's mind.

So the robot is the one attacking the Redline and the metal body is hiding Kuma who wakes up when he hears the drums, etc.

That or who the fuck knows what Oda has in store with that robot lmao

2

u/PwnzillaGorilla Dec 22 '23

Don't be forgetting the giant robot that G5 turned on

3

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Dec 22 '23

That's my thinking tbh

Kuma's actions attacking the Redline mirror the robot attacking it centuries ago. There's the theory going around that the real Kuma mind was swapped into the robot, so hearing the Nika drums helped wake up Kumabot for whatever shenanigans are about to go down.

Honestly tho it's Oda, so we're all probably wrong and it'll be somehow way better than our theories......Again.

221

u/kdebones Dec 21 '23

If this doesn't end with Kuma suicide bombing Saturn for the kill, I don't know what else could happen other then an Android 16.

214

u/gpmushu Dec 21 '23

Considering Saturn himself is the one who ordered the self destruct function be added, against all of Vegapunk's objections, it would be very fitting for his own actions to be what takes him down here. The fact that Oda put that and the thing about the split personality in this chapter is probably a setup so a suicide bombing by Kuma on Saturn doesn't come out of nowhere. I don't that will actually take him down by itself though, but it might be what gives the Straw Hats the opening to finish the job.

35

u/Savagevandal85 Dec 21 '23

Yup I feel like the suicide switch is going to come into play

26

u/stiveooo Dec 21 '23

we have checkov's suicide bomb now

kuma even knows he has it

14

u/gpmushu Dec 22 '23

Yeah, I forgot it pointed out that he overheard that specific conversation. That's definitely seems intentional.

6

u/hiero_ Dec 21 '23

In before Pedro vs Perospero Round 2

6

u/HulklingsBoyfriend Dec 21 '23

There's no way Vegapunk doesn't have some secret card or chip, right? Surely he must have some "failsafe" in case Kuma was ever ordered to attack him?

2

u/Tiecelin Dec 23 '23

Even in this chapter I think Vegapunk said he had "one last thing to add just to be safe" and we were'nt told what it was

1

u/QuiJonGinn Dec 22 '23

yeah I'm thinking he definitely has the switch installed. VP probably activated it and that's what sent him to leave the RA so quickly

8

u/Shortstop88 Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

A self-destruct switch did just show up this chapter. My main man Chekhov is in wait.

5

u/Obtusus Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

The classic Chekhov self-destruct button.

7

u/flash-tractor Soul King Brook Dec 21 '23

I hope he can use that teleportation ability on single body parts and drops Saturn's head on the gate at Marijoa.

2

u/CelioHogane Dec 21 '23

No way, we need Kuma to sing to Luffy's drums of liberation.

2

u/MyBrokenLuigiAmiibo Dec 21 '23

since you mentioned Android 16, does that mean in the first scenario kuma would be doing a Chiaotzu?

2

u/leolegendario Dec 22 '23

It's more like Netero from Hunter x Hunter.

0

u/heyoyo10 Dec 21 '23

And then the Revolutionaries show up to inform Kuma that they removed the bomb

67

u/Blancou Dec 21 '23

Saturn, all the other Elders, and every Celestial Dragon. They’re beyond redemption.

2

u/CRtwenty Marine Dec 21 '23

Not all the Celestial Dragons, we've met a few good ones after all so they're not naturally bad. Just most of them.

75

u/KosGamixKosGami Dec 21 '23

Same. Saturn MUST die.

3

u/zaxls Dec 21 '23

But problem is how, he can heal from getting stabbed, Im not sure if we may be dealing with some immortal infinite regeneration like shiga from boku no hero here.

27

u/kontinuparadi Dec 21 '23

I will reject any explanation that Saturn should live after Egghead is done. That mofo should be breathing the air in hell in the torture chamber.

This is the one of few moments where I wish Luffy would get that bullshit powerup he always gets when he is facing an enemy that is way beyond his power level.

Please Oda, give Luffy the power to one shot Saturn just because.

6

u/CelioHogane Dec 21 '23

That mofo should be breathing the air in hell in the torture chamber.

But he is a Devil, he already comes from hell!

11

u/MarioToast Dec 21 '23

Death is too quick and easy. Only when he has seen everything he's worked for go down in flames should he be allowed to die.

2

u/cubitoaequet Dec 21 '23

I will accept Luffy snapping Saturn's spine over his knee

3

u/KobeFanNumber24 Dec 21 '23

The gorosei are likely immortal beings. So there's that

35

u/Mammoth_Ask3797 Dec 21 '23

It would make sense that after the new FOUR Yonkos are announced the Gorosei will be stripped dwon to only FOUR members as well

6

u/JohnSmithWithAggron Dec 21 '23

Oh, God. Surely Buggy can't rise any further right? Surely, he can't become king of the world right? Just like his father Xebec wanted right? Right? /s

3

u/Tiger_tino Dec 21 '23

I want him to receive all of Bonney and/or Kuma’s pain before.

3

u/MarcoMaroon Dec 21 '23

After this chapter, Saturn just needs to go. That scene with even Vegapunk breaking down too. Man this whole arc and this chapter has me in pieces.

3

u/Igorgbueno Dec 21 '23

Blackbeard is an enemy of the World Government as well (D.) and for all we know is on the way to Egghead, I can see him killing Saturn and making Luffy take the blame somehow.

3

u/hotaru_crisis Dec 21 '23

my life will be ruined if saturn isnt dead by the end of this arc and my day has been ruined after reading this chapter

3

u/HulklingsBoyfriend Dec 21 '23

Their world will never change so long as monsters like that exist and can influence others, the 5 and Imu need to actually fucking die.

2

u/jaytix1 Dec 21 '23

Saturn is 100% dying on Egghead. Luffy already punched a celestial dragon, so news of him beating up an Elder isn't that shocking. Everybody would just go "Not again!"

Now, if it comes out that the Straw Hats or whoever killed an elder...

2

u/VelvetScarlet Dec 21 '23

He will, kuma is coming with all the damage that has been inflicted on the way.

2

u/ForestJordie Dec 21 '23

Need to see Kizaru turn against the government. It will feed families

2

u/Enryu44 Dec 21 '23

Saturn dies here and they could need to replace him in the Gorosei.

Maybe Figarland Garling steps into the position. Giving him an even bigger role. Or, since he's the Science position, they somehow retrieve York, and she gets her wish; becoming a Tenryuubito.

2

u/NihilisticOnion Dec 21 '23

If Saturn doesn’t die here that’ll be a massive misstep by Oda

2

u/januarysdaughter The Revolutionary Army Dec 21 '23

I think it's far too soon for him to die.

2

u/DiaburuJanbu Shanks' evil hot sister is REAL! Dec 21 '23

Death to Saturn!

1

u/jumbohiggins Dec 21 '23

In standard manga fashion Luffy has now beaten Kaido / BM. Need something that can offer him a challenge still. Giving the elders freaky magic powers could do that.

-1

u/Ok_Donut_9887 Dec 21 '23

Given that Kaido is probably still alive, Saturn won’t die here. The outcome will be that the Strawhat can escape to Elbaf and his red head sugar daddy will help him. Dr. V will die for sure, along with the axe and the light guys.

u/goody153 Dec 22 '23

Saturn has to die here. I won't accept anything less.

u/nycbroncos Dec 21 '23

I almost have to think the Marines may revolt here as well. We've already seen that garp, smoker, koby, etc aren't bad people. Those panels from this chapter where all these Marines are chasing after bonney taking about the horrible things she's supposedly done make me think some Marines are going to have their eyes opened soon

5

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Dec 21 '23

I mean, Saturn coming onto land was a demon summoning circle nobody knows wtf it is and just looking at him gets you killed.

Gotta be a "Are we the baddies?" moment even without Kuma's memories being a wild card.

1

u/nycbroncos Dec 21 '23

Right? Almost goes without saying lol. If my companies CEO showed up to a meeting as an actual demon spider, I'd probably be updating my resume

u/jaypooner Dec 21 '23

this needs to happen. i could see that being the catastrophic event that the strawhats cause. this would trigger an all out war with the WG, and the strawhats would need to flee with bonney, with her eventual joining to the crew.

1

u/Palicake Dec 21 '23

Is that an Andy Samberg I took it and threw it on the ground reference?

I cannot confirm nor deny such suspicions at this time.
