THE PACIFISTA WENT ROGUE. BONNEY IS AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID. VEGAPUNK HAD A BRAIN, CONFIRMED.

u/tryingmydarnest Feb 01 '24

VEGAPUNK HAD A BRAIN

not brain. a heart. (and a pair of steely balls to sneak the backdoor in despite the risk of Saturn finding out)

u/Ckcw23 Feb 01 '24

It just means Saturn was just boasting how much better he is than Vegapunk, when he was just a nobody compared to him.

u/Nyanek Feb 01 '24

old man skipped the code review smh

u/arugono Feb 01 '24

Saturn is that old man who acts tough and tells you he knows more than you so dun try anything funny but in reality is a complete moron.

49

u/azdhar Feb 01 '24

Pretty much like any c-suite

u/StNowhere Feb 01 '24

If you have to tell everyone you're the smartest man in the room, you aren't.

u/Sonn_Goku Feb 01 '24

Lol, I was having a bad day(code wise) and you have no idea how much I enjoyed your comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/___kingfisher___ Feb 01 '24

when you let the junior merge into prod

7

u/abcder733 Feb 01 '24

And Saturn’s like the senior manager whose last coding experience was on an IBM terminal

6

u/BellacosePlayer Feb 01 '24

Nah, vegapunk just made a change directly to prod

3

u/QuantaPande Feb 02 '24

LGTM'ed without taking a look

u/Master3530 Feb 01 '24

He's the "how hard could it be" boss

2

u/AureusNex Feb 01 '24

He was too busy with his founder LinkedIn podcast.

1

u/Den_Bover666 Feb 01 '24

Saturn's a project manager.

u/HMKS Void Month Survivor Feb 01 '24

Vegapunk already played him with the bomb switch, this is just icing on top (for us at least)!

74

u/jaytix1 Feb 01 '24

Good point. He might not have expected the Bonney trick, but he explicitly told Vegapunk he'd make sure the bomb was there and still failed.

23

u/Mundology The Revolutionary Army Feb 01 '24

Saturn's hubris will be his demise

14

u/Doomroar Feb 01 '24

You can even say that he sits at...

The height of folly!

5

u/Msingh999 Feb 01 '24

The petard, it just won’t stop hoisting

3

u/JAragon7 Feb 01 '24

Wait I’m tripping. What was the bomb?

16

u/jaytix1 Feb 01 '24

The bomb that was supposed to blow after the Revolutionaries rescued Kuma. That's partly why Saturn didn't expect Kuma to show up.

4

u/_T_H_O_R_N_ Feb 01 '24

I seriously wanna see Egghead look Saturn in the face and say "How does it feel to be tricked by a...what did you call us...cockroach??" lol

1

u/AccountantOfFraud Feb 04 '24

Vegapunk didn't really play him on that. The bomb was there, he doesn't know why it didn't blow up except for "love."

1

u/HMKS Void Month Survivor Feb 04 '24

Chapter 1104, page 8, top left panel.

1

u/AccountantOfFraud Feb 04 '24

Oh right, completely misremembered.

38

u/arugono Feb 01 '24

Saturn is a dumb temperamental old man. He couldn't detect Sabo in the same room. He couldn't predict Bonney or Kuma attacking him (no Future Sight).

Only reason he is relevant is he has some Haki/Aura move that immobilises and bursts heads.

u/AlphaOmega1356 Feb 01 '24

Yea this is low key something i need cleared up: is Saturn just bluffing when he said he’d know if Vegapunk would pull something? Or is he just incompetent? If so, being the so called “godhead” of science is laughable and honestly fits the CD motif of overconfidence.

21

u/Hyakkihei1 Feb 01 '24

He trusted his ability to make Vegapunk fear him, while he may know enough science to understand the code going through each line in order to make sure there's nothing hidden seems like too much work for someone who is completely confident in his own ability for 800 years.

In any other situation without Luffy in the picture the code change would have ended up with an admiral being sent to kill both Bonney and Vegapunk.

11

u/itsag_undam Feb 01 '24

I think it's a mix of both, he overestimated himself but he was also trying to convince Vegapunk to not even try because he knows Vegapunk is smarter and a better scientist, the WG wouldn't be so reliant on him otherwise if they had a better scientist much less tied by morals.

Then there's also the arrogance of authority, decent chance Saturn thought that him being a big-shot celestial dragon telling Vegapunk to not do it would be sufficient to stop Vegapunk from attempting anything, so he didn't pay enough attention to any subterfuge Vegapunk might've been up to.

4

u/Scrapox Feb 01 '24

Why would he need Vegapunk at all, if he was an immortal scientist with more knowledge or scientifical prowess than Vegapunk.

3

u/Ckcw23 Feb 01 '24

That’s why they need talent, they know they’re bluffing and exaggerating their abilities, and used their strength and authority to force anyone more skilled than them to kneel before them.

5

u/OilOk4941 Feb 01 '24

exactly. While i dont doubt saturn is probably smart compared to the average scientist and has a lot of forbidden knowledge, he is nothing compared to vegapunk or even franky

3

u/vangstampede Feb 01 '24

What's so fucking great about this old fart anyway? Like, has he done anything even just a little bit impressive so far? Literally 90% of his screen time is just him tormenting an ex-slave and his adopted daughter and failing miserably every time.

5

u/Imperatia Pirate Feb 01 '24

and a pair of steely balls

This is why he didn't manage to dodge Saturn. A bit hard to move with those.

1

u/hergumbules The Revolutionary Army Feb 01 '24

Wonder if she controls the Seraphim as well? At least S-Bear?

1

u/heyoyo10 Feb 01 '24

Still does, Saturn stabbed his right side

1

u/Zealot_Alec Feb 02 '24

VP now confirmed as the greatest scientist in OP

10

u/ItsLoudB The Revolutionary Army Feb 01 '24

Glad he didn’t just chop it off.. Oh, wait

u/Geeeck0 Feb 01 '24 edited Feb 01 '24

By knowing that Nika exist for real, Bonney's fruit is also about to go nuts. Any future is possible because Nika is real, even one where she is Pirate Queen. Only her imagination will limit her future.

1

u/Fappity_Fappity_Fap Feb 01 '24

Is it even an actual fruit? Feels like Saturn's experiments on her were a bit of a nod that her powers aren't your usual DF shenanigans.

Now if it is some lineage factor like the Seraphim or another thing entirely, I dunno, but, well, yeah.

4

u/Geeeck0 Feb 01 '24

I understood that she got the powers of the fruit (and associated weakness to water) without consuming the fruit. But basically, it came from an actual fruit.

(that was just my understanding that Oda may correct at any time).

u/Alzusand Feb 01 '24

G5 luffy vs kizaru and bonney G5 vs saturn would be so peak

3

u/CarcosanAnarchist Feb 01 '24

The wway it's phrased, it won't just be the pacifista... "all clones bearing his appearance." S-Bear will absolutely be on their side. And he's somewhere on the island currently.

5

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor Feb 01 '24

Oda putting this author comment on the chapter that Bonney's voice transforms the pacifista into her allies was such a subtle stroke of brilliance.

All the Mark(Maku)-III's flipped into Kuma-san's.

4

u/Bucen Explorer Feb 01 '24

Took Saturn long enough to just straight up murder (it's one piece, he'll live) someone. No pompous holding Bonney up for execution or that nonsense, just *stab* and gone. Bout time.

2

u/NormanLetterman Feb 01 '24

The first thing he did was blow up someone's head ??

8

u/ArchdukeOfWalesland Feb 01 '24

Yeah one of his subordinates lmao

u/Bucen Explorer Feb 01 '24

sorry, I mean actual opponents and not his own people
