[u/50thsun]

this arc is pretty much best described as "well that escalated"

[u/opkpopfanboyv3 → u/50thsun]

I swear I don't think i've seen anybody even joke abt Gorosei being fucking summoned to Egghead in person

[u/Vangorf → u/opkpopfanboyv3]

Everyone was like okay Egghead is gonna be a chill transitional arc into Elbaf with some lore drops from Vegapunk, similar to what Zou was. Man we got baited hard

[u/opkpopfanboyv3 → u/Vangorf]

Thought abt that first too untiI fucking Saturn first appeared to be heading there lol

[u/Vangorf → u/opkpopfanboyv3]

Yeah Lucci and CP0 being there as antagonists, maybe a small skirmish with Katarina Devon and Van Augur would serve as the combat section of the arc, instead its going ballistic

[u/FireFistRJ → u/opkpopfanboyv3]

Seeing one of them fighting was scary; nobody imagined all five of them fighting together against one guy.

[u/SternMon → u/FireFistRJ]

It shows just how much of a threat Luffy has become. We're really in the endgame here.

[u/ArchdukeOfWalesland → u/FireFistRJ]

Two did leave to fight elsewhere almost immediately

[u/HistoryWillRepeat → u/50thsun]

It feels like yesterday we were all discussing how cute their new outfits are. I thought Egghead was going to be a short arc where they have fun and discover a buncj of lore before leaving for Elbaph. Crazy where we are now.

[u/Supaah]

Sabo getting out of Mariejois is actually insane looking at this.

[u/UltimateToa → u/Supaah]

Wapol upscale

[u/sack_of_potahtoes → u/UltimateToa]

No wonder he was utterly terrified

[u/krw13 → u/Supaah]

To be fair, they were somewhat limited, as to not reveal themselves and Imu to all the world leaders. If they chose to move freely and not worry about the consequences, they surely would have had no issue with Sabo. To them, letting Sabo get out of that room just puts a single guy, who is already opposed to the world government, as essentially a conspiracy theorist.

[u/YaIe → u/krw13]

There is also this whole "delete an entire island of the map" thing they have going for them

[u/Voursx]

sanji : use provoke
zoro : its super effective

lucci : damn !

[u/GeneralistJosh → u/Voursx]

A taunt from an opponent: meh

A taunt from a shitty cook: serious shit

[u/artymcparty]

Samurai Ghandi straight up looking like a dark souls/bloodborne boss

[u/Keith_Marlow → u/artymcparty]

He’s giving full Ludwig the Holy Blade and I am here for it.

[u/RPG217 → u/Keith_Marlow]

Aaah, you were by my side all along. My Shodai kitetsu

[u/JozuIsUnbreakable → u/artymcparty]

Would be a good sekiro boss fight. 3 phases (human, full horse and hybrid). Isshin on crack

[u/QuickBenjamin]

The four mythical creatures, and the big boi from Dune

[u/Comprehensive-Ad2670 → u/QuickBenjamin]

*Shai Hulud

[u/PaperJamDipper7 → u/QuickBenjamin]

I recognize your footsteps old man

[u/Scalar_Ng_Bayan → u/QuickBenjamin]

LISAN AL GAIB

[u/Lardath → u/Scalar_Ng_Bayan]

Lisan to the drums of liberation

[u/ShellyT98]

Attention!

That's a mono-panel double page spread!

That's the 46th from the start of the manga, and the 4th of the post timeskip

[u/mountaineer_93 → u/ShellyT98]

What are the others? Only one I can remember off hand is the oath of the Grand Fleet

[u/emi_b7 → u/mountaineer_93]

Here's a twitter thread with all of them.

[u/adnaphsaka → u/emi_b7]

The last one was exactly EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS AGO ! ! !

(In Chapter 800 on 15 September 2015)

[u/Work_the_shaft → u/emi_b7]

Wow it’s crazy to see how much more common they were early on.

[u/thatShanksguy09]

Lucci provokes me: I sleep

Luffy might be fighting with a Gorosei: I sleep

That damn No 4 calls me a burden: REAL SHIT💢

Classic one piece humour lol

[u/FireZord25 → u/thatShanksguy09]

Diss so triggering he instantly recalls all 3 swords and 1hkos Lucci.

[u/jimgae]

This is probably the most "0 to 100" arc ever since Sabaody.

Started with us hanging out at Vegapunk's island, having fun with the technology and such. A little under 40 chapters later, Luffy is face to face with all 5 Gorosei.

[u/FireFistRJ → u/jimgae]

Except in Sabody, Luffy and the crew were helpless. But this time, even facing the top monsters of this world, Luffy and co. are putting up a good fight.

[u/jimgae → u/FireFistRJ]

Yeah, imo this is definitely meant to be a parallel to Sabaody.

[u/Kuro013 → u/jimgae]

Hopefully the ending will be an even bigger HOLY FUCK moment, but not as sad.

[u/wannabetrapstar888 → u/FireFistRJ]

luffy putting a good fight, and co. are ordered by the left hand to run and escape cus they have no chance

[u/opkpopfanboyv3 → u/jimgae]

From having fun, eating burgers and shit

To having amogus reference mini-arc

To seeing events escalate outside Egghead

To witnessing Kuma's suffering

And then we're now seeing Gorosei's true form lol its crazy

[u/Worthyness → u/opkpopfanboyv3]

and giant ancient gear golem hasn't even shown up yet

[u/radikraze → u/jimgae]

The best part is it doesn’t feel like it was rushed. Other series do shit like this out of nowhere and throw pacing out of the window but this insane escalation feels completely organic to me

[u/Jebrawl]

If around the start of Egghead, you told me Luffy would be against all the Gorosei with Dorry and Broggy, I would have said absolute bullshit.

[u/Chongle69 → u/Jebrawl]

This arc has been so sick. People were thinking it would be a chill side arc with maybe a little lore dropped before we got to next big island and Oda just said fuck all of y'all expectations and watch me fuckin cook!

[u/HMKS]

Man, just think about how wild this must be for the OP universe.
The 5 Elders were FORCED to personally get involved with matters and are actively fighting pirates AND use their powers.

[u/The_Eccedentisiast → u/HMKS]

I wonder why we were introduced to the elders powers, even before the God's knights.

Not that I'm complaining, I'm loving the stakes. But just curious.

[u/Except_Fry → u/The_Eccedentisiast]

Gods knights are probably protecting God right now who is suspiciously left unguarded

[u/Transmatrix → u/Except_Fry]

Man, imagine if Blackbeard finds out that the Gorosei are all at Egghead and we see him confront Imu while all this is going on.

[u/Brobman11 → u/The_Eccedentisiast]

I think God's Knights are kind of like the celestial dragons police force and most likely stay around Mariejois and only come down to the surface for those human hunts 

[u/tryingmydarnest]

The first time we saw the transformed Gorosei was in June 2023 and if anyone would have told me then that we would get to see Nika staring down all of them without silhouette in less than 1 year I would have thought they're hopelessly optimistic. Bring up the giants and I would roll my eyes.

Yet, here we are.

PS: Lilith kicking Brook groin was hilarious.

[u/FireFistRJ → u/tryingmydarnest]

Dude couldn't tell her also that I don't have balls. Yohohoho!

[u/leoplanelles]

To the 7-year old version of myself : Yes kid, the bald guy indeed uses the sword

[u/Idostuff2010 → u/leoplanelles]

I know hes hyped up as Zoro's opponent but that freezing soul sword is looking like Brook's wheelhouse

[u/leoplanelles → u/Idostuff2010]

A Zoro&Brook team up would be so sick !!!

[u/FireFistRJ → u/leoplanelles]

My wish for the upcoming chapters is for Zoro to have a little clash with Samurai Gandhi so he realizes there is one more top dude other than Mihawk in swordsmanship. And probably the owner of Shodai Kitetsu (Supreme sword).

[u/leoplanelles → u/FireFistRJ]

Yeah i’m on board with the theory that he has the Shodai Kitetsu since day one! And as we see in the chapter the blade is full black!

[u/TwoSnapsMack → u/leoplanelles]

A cursed sword that causes death to the owner with a man who’s rumored to be immortal is awesome as hell

[u/YourLocal_FBI_Agent → u/TwoSnapsMack]

That's just Sekiro, and I'm all in on Sekiro!!

[u/dozosucks → u/leoplanelles]

time for the age old question again:

is he a swordsman or does he just use a sword?

[u/qwer1239 → u/dozosucks]

Clearly he's a horseman

[u/soge_king420 → u/qwer1239]

Back in the 90s…

[u/Pikathepokepimp]

That panel of Luffy facing down all five elders is just breathtaking!

[u/ThankGodForYouSon → u/Pikathepokepimp]

Really ominous, the situation seems extremely fucked. The sheer size of them and all the bullshit they've probably got makes them seem totally in control.

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/ThankGodForYouSon]

The sheer size of them

Ancient Giant and the entire Giant pirate crew: our times have come.

Insert jokes among it's not the size, but the techniques.

In seriousness, makes you wonder how big the Hall Sabo was in to accommodate all of their transformation plus one Imu

[u/ThankGodForYouSon → u/tryingmydarnest]

Thought back to the size of the hall, it's really big from what I remember. Basically a wasteland of stone and columns, like an unholy cathedral.

[u/gyrozepp2 → u/Pikathepokepimp]

The first proper full double spread after the grand fleet one from chapter 800

[u/FireFistRJ → u/Pikathepokepimp]

Luffy is going to ride samurai horse and do Yeehaw! all amidst the ongoing tension.

[u/Jberz21]

The spread of the Itsudame flying up while Sanji is pleading for Nami to run and the Bakotsu is running around the coastline disarming the Pacifistas is so unsettling to me.

Masterpiece chapter

[u/smcadam → u/Jberz21]

Yeah, their silence is creepy. Didn't even talk tactics, just delta split and got to work.

[u/zyd_the_lizard → u/smcadam]

We saw them sort of telepathically communicating with Saturn last chapter, so they probably still are and we just aren't privy to it.

[u/smcadam → u/zyd_the_lizard]

I'd love to see that.

Topman: "Holy shit, look out, there's giants coming!"

Jupeter: "Nah, don't worry man, I've got this- OUCH WHAT THE HELL!?"

Saturn: "What did he just say?!"

Nusjuro: "Don't make me come over there, we're actually doing work, right Markus? Markus?"

Markus: "...this forcefield really hurts.... oooow....."

[u/Alphaeon_28 → u/smcadam]

Knowing Oda that’s probably along the lines of what they’re saying, but making it telepathic helps make the elders more intimidating as it makes them seem even less human by not speaking, yet coordinating perfectly

[u/mr_chub → u/smcadam]

Jupeter: "He's one shot"

Saturn: "No the fuck he's not dude you do this every time"

[u/[deleted]]

Now that we've seen all the Gorosei forms its pretty much confirmed the arrow attack on Sabo was from Imu

[u/TrueRiddler → u/[deleted]]

Good observation! So is IMU just essentially Satan then with that devil tail..

[u/DrumsOfLiberation → u/TrueRiddler]

The Sea Devil

[u/bioiskillingme]

The black clouds surrounding the 5 elders and Lucci....vs the white clouds around Gear 5 Luffy. Oda is cooking something spicy!!

[u/IRefuseThisNonsense → u/bioiskillingme]

Yamato also had something similar in their transformation, but it was light colored as well. Perhaps it's a sign of morality?

[u/TheZStabiliser]

IDK why but Ju Peters worm design is absolutely intriguing to me. Nusjuro's is the best but Ju Peter seems very devoid of humanity.... something about the huge set of teeth that is off throwing.

[u/Behanort → u/TheZStabiliser]

hes also the only one whos NOT a yokai... Ju Peter continues to be the odd one out for some reason

[u/ThankGodForYouSon → u/Behanort]

Gandhi also stands out from his colour to lack of flesh surrounding him.

[u/IRefuseThisNonsense → u/ThankGodForYouSon]

I don't see enough people mention it, so I am gonna. When we see him transform we see that the flesh and muscle regrows onto his face and torso as he changes. That's gonna look so messed up when animated.

[u/MaezrielGG → u/IRefuseThisNonsense]

When we see him transform we see that the flesh and muscle regrows onto his face and torso as he changes. That's gonna look so messed up when animated.

They are the prey and we are the hunters intensifies

[u/ScrapeWithFire → u/Behanort]

Jupiter is the biggest planet and the Roman equivalent to Zeus, so if there was going to be a "special" elder it would definitely be him

[u/[deleted] → u/ScrapeWithFire]

Exact, also intriguing since among MOST religions there's sky father figure, usually a thunder god, and the motiff of them fighting and defeating a giant serpent, (Zeus, Perun, Indra and many more.) But interestingly when a thunder god was present in OP, the serpent was one of the good guys.

[u/buffalo4293 → u/Behanort]

He is Shai Halud

[u/DeismAccountant → u/Behanort]

Yeah I’m definitely wondering why that is myself. I’m guessing they’re more than just Yokai and have cultural parallels in other cultures?

For example, the Venus-Bakotsu seems to parallel the Celtic Kelpie.

[u/Clifely]

So Zoro‘s actual powerup is Sanji blaming him to be a burden…this…actually makes sense lol

[u/Nyadnar17 → u/Clifely]

He heard he was getting cooked in the retweets.

[u/yearoftheferret]

Dorry and Broggy saving Luffy from Jupiter just like Dorry saved him from the brontosaurus waaaaay back in chapter 116 :)

[u/Professional-Croc444]

Am i tripping or did dorry and broggy cut that worm guy in half ?

[u/irishgoblin → u/Professional-Croc444]

Looks like they cut him in three. Doubt it'll stick though given we've seen Garcia regen an entire arm.

[u/ChefRoyrdee → u/irishgoblin]

Worms are pretty famous about regrowing parts of their bodies after being cut in half.

[u/ordonen1 → u/Professional-Croc444]

That worm will probably become three different worms

[u/leoplanelles]

The last full double page spread was in chapter 800 with the grand fleet! On September 19, 2015.

3100 DAYS AGO!!!!!

[u/DeismAccountant → u/leoplanelles]

I had to remind myself that you mean a single panel taking up a double page.

[u/HistoryWillRepeat → u/leoplanelles]

Holy shit. Cant believe we didnt get one in Wano. It's cool that Oda saves it for truly special occasions.

[u/Behanort]

Venusjuro - taking down all pacifistas

Mars - trying to breach labophase

Jupeter/Saturn - fighting luffy

Warcury - MIA after that awesome spread (maybe he could retrive york/serpahim?)

[u/guipabi → u/Behanort]

He was still in front of Luffy while they were fighting

[u/Behanort → u/guipabi]

OHHH, youre right, hes obscured in-between odas scene transition lines

thanks for correcting

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/Behanort]

Or Mother Flame. That's one of their mission objectives.

[u/bigweight93]

Everyone is in danger, need to go ASAP

Zoro: I sleep

The cook insults him

Zoro: REAL SHIT

[u/emperorzura]

I fucking love how both Zoro and Sanji scales themselves up.

Sanji = Power of Love

Zoro = Power of shutting the fuck up of Sanji (dude learned the trash talk haki just to hear sanji km away from him LMAO)

[u/Scrapox]

"Oh this is probably just a short intermediate arc where we get some cool lore drops before we leave for the next big arc" - Me when egghead started, clueless.

[u/Lee_yw]

Onepiece and Dune crossovers are lit af!

[u/theREALbombedrumbum → u/Lee_yw]

Luffy getting eaten then rescued by the Sand Wyrm

Luffy is Lisan al Gaib!

[u/hutbear → u/theREALbombedrumbum]

Muad D. Ib

[u/Greyhalestorm → u/theREALbombedrumbum]

As written! Lisan Al Gaib

[u/hellodeliciousfriend → u/Lee_yw]

Calling my shot: Sanji defeats JuPeter by learning to skywalk without rhythm.

[u/Renverseur → u/Lee_yw]

The Will of Dune

[u/FireFistRJ → u/Lee_yw]

Oda: You are not prepared for what is to come.

[u/OccasionalGoodTakes → u/FireFistRJ]

Only the golden path leads to one piece

[u/theREALbombedrumbum]

Looks like we're gonna be seeing the aftermath of Wano, but just through cover stories instead

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/theREALbombedrumbum]

Given the pacing of the Final Saga maybe we will see more of such stories.

Reminded of the first void month in 2011 where we got drips of SH scattered around the world.

[u/4monkeydluffy4]

Oda didn't mention fruits or fruits' abilities, he just wrote " The GYUKI" " The ITSUMADE" "The HOKI" "The BAKOTSU" "The SAND NYRM"

So, are they really fruit users? Or we can assume that they are "MONSTERS" ?

[u/dienomighte → u/4monkeydluffy4]

Safe to assume that it's not safe to assume anything 

[u/player32123]

LMAO the second Sanji talks shit Zoro kills Lucci out of spite. Two of them could have beat Kaido if they just shit talked each other enough.

[u/LITW6991 → u/player32123]

Hating bloom > haki bloom. 

[u/fsrocchi → u/player32123]

So that's why Sanji wasn't on the roof battle.

[u/KingGoldark]

Remember when this was a lighthearted journey through a futuristic island with silly clothes and a child Jimbei?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[u/koutetsuvamn]

that double panel with the 5 elders might be the best thing oda has ever drawn. just incredible

[u/wannabetrapstar888 → u/koutetsuvamn]

and how tiny luffy looks after tossing saturn away in the last chapter, they're not playing around. there's no joking around, no lagging, no trash talking. they get straight to being toxic and wiping out the pacifistas. 1000/10 chapter

[u/Darkelementzz]

Undead horse swordsman using ice powers vs undead afro swordsman with ice powers?? Make it happen!! Brook has no neurons to freeze because he's just bones... yohohohoho!!

[u/mountaineer_93]

I really expected Ju Peter to have the Dune Worm Mouth but somehow him having a perfect set of human teeth makes it more unsettling.

Also I’m wondering if Mars got in the barrier. You couldn’t see much given the explosion and Bonney and Luffy both got out and Luffy even got back in so I don’t see why Mars couldn’t.

[u/bullilite → u/mountaineer_93]

Well if we know anything about birds and explosions I'm sure he's fine.

[u/wannabetrapstar888]

Sabo wasn't lying when he said hell was located at the top of the world.

[u/Magwikk → u/wannabetrapstar888]

Sabo escaping is insane in retrospect

[u/hesawavemasterrr]

Wow, he summoned an…

ALASKAN

BULL

WORM!

[u/1LT_0bvious → u/hesawavemasterrr]

We should take Egghead and push it somewhere else!

[u/BioLizard18]

"Planetfall" is such a cool name for the chapter. All five of the planets are making "landfall" and it's just as ominous as you'd imagine. The reveal of their names and devil fruits/monstrous demon names is so cool.

But WOW. Seeing all five elders full transformed into their Zoan forms all at once and together really makes this arc feel like the "ENDGAME" it's been built up to be. It's almost the sort of thing you only expect to happen right at the end, but it's already here!

And not only that, but they all get straight into business too. No posturing or villain speeches - these guys are MONSTERS who are here to get shit done. I can't wait to see the crew fight off the bird gorosei, and Luffy + the giants tag-team the remaining Gorosei. There's a very real chance Kuma sacrifices himself to make sure Bonney escapes. They've made such a point of targeting her, that I think keeping her alive is going to be a major story beat and having Kuma be the one to do it could deliver some insane emotional payoffs.

Also, Dorry and Broggy casually slicing up one of the Five Elders to free Luffy?! Iconic. I love these two so much and ever since their reintroduction via destroying Kid's ship, every time we see them they've done something amazing. It's so good.

Also Zoro unironically powering up because Sanji talked shit is both hilarious and cool. I don't get why their stans only love one of them, their dynamic together is incredible.

[u/Chongle69]

Does anyone find it interesting/curious that Oda introduces the elders' powers by just saying the name of the mythical creature that they are and not as a devil fruit type power? Might lead credence to the thought that their power doesn't come from a devil fruit but something different?

[u/Goku-MIEL10032002]

What are these demented monstrosities and who put them in my goofy pirate comic?

Seriously tho, Sabo survived these things? Saturn looks tame in comparison. My favourites are definitely Ethan and Mark.

[u/SanderStrugg → u/Goku-MIEL10032002]

Saturn is really the goofiest of this group.

[u/wannabetrapstar888 → u/SanderStrugg]

and he's tiny compared to the rest of them, holy shit

[u/Slifer13xx → u/wannabetrapstar888]

Reminds me of when we were first introduced to Jack where he was a menacing mammoth, and then we see him being bullied by Queen and King.

[u/Pikathepokepimp]

Start of the new chapter and we are 3 minutes into the 10 minute timer! Maybe we will see the full message before the summer hits! Dressora has made me skeptical of how time passes.

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/Pikathepokepimp]

It took 4 chapters for luffy to recover from the initial Gear 4.

Given the hype currently, I can wait.

[u/leoplanelles]

WHAT ARE THOSE MONSTER AHAHAH ODA YOU MADMAN

[u/SABJP]

Zoro waited for someone to show up so that he can show off his new move.

[u/MilkySkates]

Sabo really squared up to that double spread and got away, no wonder Wapol was so fucking shook

[u/ScorpoCross94]

So bald guy with sword is freezing the pacifista? Just like Brooke? Hmmm

[u/ScribblingOff87 → u/ScorpoCross94]

He's horsing around.

[u/ozymandias___]

I'm glad we don't have to go through 5 different arcs for the reveal of each elders.

[u/YaminoEXE]

Vegapunk next chapter: "Before I state my business, I would like to thank our sponsors: Raid Shadow Legends, Raycon and Hello Fresh."

[u/EthanW20004]

Sabo really saw these 5 celestial cunts plus Imu like that and managed to get out of their base

[u/KNZFive → u/EthanW20004]

Yeah, let's all put some respect on Sabo since he managed to escape this on his own. No wonder he was shitting himself.

[u/Domenakoi]

Imagining mars just fucking dying in an explosion trying to enter the labostratum makes those panels infinitely more funny

[u/FireFistRJ]

Names: Dorry and Brogy
Job: Cutting monsters to help Luffy and co.

[u/wannabetrapstar888]

Notice that Oda only described their yokai forms, not their devil fruits. These guys are literal demons.

[u/DelusionPhantom]

They're all giant animals? Luffy's been training his entire life for this moment!

[u/Critical_Ask_5493]

Dude, I love everything Dorry and Brogy have been saying. They never say much, but when they do, it gets me so hype. They're so casual. They literally don't give a fuck about anything else that's going on, they're just excited to see Luffy

"Did you see him!?"

"What a familiar face"

"A dark belly is no place for a guy like that"

I love it. Probably means something bad is about to happen though

[u/DargoKillmar]

The choice of giving the creatures names and not mentioning they're Zoan Devil fruit models is... a choice.

[u/divinesleeper → u/DargoKillmar]

devils don't need devil fruits

[u/SuperIdiot360 → u/divinesleeper]

If we get a scene where one of the Elders gets thrown into the water only for them to swim out I’m going to shit myself

[u/EineEnte]

Quick recall that the first time we met the giants in Chapter 116 Luffy was also cut free by them after beeing eaten!

[u/MariJoyBoy]

It's fun because for once, the "countdown" is for the enemy, and Luffy is the actual "boss" they are trying to get rid of.

[u/kjm6351]

Egghead in 2022: Just a breather arc

Egghead now:

LITERAL INSANITY

[u/Rubbenzio95]

Remember when we used to think that SH actually got the easiest route?

[u/saladvtenno → u/Rubbenzio95]

I remember some salty kidd/law fans said "of course the plot armor gives main characters the easiest island while we had to face blackbeard/shanks" lmao

[u/DefaultNetNavi]

Would you still love the gorosei if one was a worm?

[u/Jester_Raed]

Zoro: Struggling to wrap the fight up
Sanji: "What a burden."
Zoro: Locks in

[u/daekle]

Was Zoro using Conquerors haki during his final blow? His swords were black (as was Gahndis Kitetsu) and he was firing black lightning.

I do appreciate him doing such a serious blow only after sanji insults him.

This chapter felt short because we had so many beautiful multi page spreads. A really beautifully drawn chapter.

[u/Etonet]

Lmaoo Zoro more tilted from Sanji flaming him on comms than Five Elders literally manifesting on the island

That bird's eye view page is awesome

[u/Lord_Starchild]

I don't think any of us were ready for this arc

[u/far219]

That double page spread of Luffy against the 5 Elders in their revealed forms gave me fucking chills holy shit

[u/ThuderWaves]

the panel of the bird flying and the horse slicing underneath. ooooof GODA

[u/zDura]

them turning into monsters is some Berserk apostle type shit

[u/gate567]

Wild we got a full two page spread, excited for next weeks chapter.

Some thoughts

• Interesting that we cut away from Lucci vs Zoro before we get confirmation that he's down down. Something tells me he's not done yet.
• Mars seemed to tank the Labophase barrier and is likely already inside (like how Luffy tanked it twice when he got kicked out by Kizaru and had to climb back up). Zoro and Jinbei might have to hold him off while the others SH's escape.
• We're already at 7 minutes in just one chapter. Yea Oda's gonna end the countdown as we head into break week calling it now.
• Nusjuro having ice powers is very very interesting and his form is that of a skeletal horse. Hmmm wonder if Brook's gonna fight him at some point or at least maybe provide more info.
• Luffy finally reuniting with Dorry and Broggy warms my heart so much. Now its time to book it and gtfo

[u/btw_i_use_vim]

Usopp being praised for his diligence and being dependable. How far have we all come lol.

[u/Alternative_Memory90]

Would be craaaaazy if someone decided to invade Mariejois right now…

[u/Career-Decent]

All the gorosei look insane

My favorite is Mars though The bird is so badass

[u/TommieBuncetti]

blud really plugging his instant coffee brand right before a world-changing announcement 💀

[u/Troubled_Jets_Guy]

LISAN AL GAIB

[u/MyNameISaColouR]

There was a theory that Saturn and the other Elders weren't physically on Egghead and the monster form was just a remote summoned puppet, hence the apparent immortality, since it wasn't the actual real body.

But I noticed that in a panel at the start of the chapter it shows the room where the Elders were, and now it's empty, with just a magic circle on the ground. I guess this disproves the theory. The Elders are actually physically there, and everyone's fucked.

[u/Jeanfromthe54]

I still can't believe that we are seeing the Gorosei do something before Dragon.

[u/HanataSanchou]

I know a lot of folks are rolling their eyes at this cover story, but remember Oda almost always has a story tie-in planned for these:

• Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles - Fills in the gap for Buggy's whereabouts after Orange Town Arc, up to his return as an antagonist in Loguetown
• Diary of Koby-Meppo - Koby and Helmeppo's growth and tutelage under Garp, before their eventual return Post-Enies Lobby
• Jango's Dance Paradise - Jango from Syrup Village and Fullbody from Baratie eventually come under Hina's service. We see them again in Marineford
• Hatchan's Sea Floor Stroll - Hatchan's meets up with Camie and Pappag, all important figures in the Sabaody/Fishman Island arcs
• Wapol's Omnivorous Hurrah - Wapol regains his status after Drum Island, and the role he plays in the Reverie is one of the most clutch in the story to date
• Ace's Great Blackbeard Search - This of course culminates with Ace and Blackbeard's fateful duel, but Ace also visits Lulusia Kingdom along the way and meets a young Moda. Moda survives Lulusia's eventual fate and enlists in the Revolutionary Army
• Gedatsu's Accidental Blue Sea Life - Gedatsu works with Koza's uncle to build a hot spring resort. While this has not had a story payoff just yet - this island is connected to Alabasta via tunnel, and very well end up being a safe haven if the WG decides to target Alabasta directly. Also, while Pell's survival was made clear in Ch. 217, his appearance in this cover story was his first since the explosion.
• Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" - We catch up with key members of Baroque Works since the Alabasta Arc, who of course play various important roles in the Impel Down and Marineford Arcs
• Enel's Great Space Operations - Finding out there was life in space at all was one thing, but that mural of course has huge historical implications about the One Piece world that we might just be starting to get into now
• CP9's Independent Report - This one's always been an oddity to me. Perhaps you can assume that the WG decided it was better to have CP9 continue to work for them rather than continue to risk losing assassins, but this cover arc didn't really set that up at all.
• Straw Hats Separation Serial - Of course fills in the gaps for what the crew went through while Luffy tried to save his brother, and eventual timeskip
• From The Decks of the World - The world learns of the Straw Hat's latest exploits, which includes us getting updates on old friends/enemies. Not sure if Oda will keep doing this now that we've met Big News Morgans proper.
• Caribou's Kehihihihihi in the New World - shows us how Caribou ends up in Wano, by way of an ass kicking from X Drake. Drake had attacked this very same island pre-timeskip, with the intention of drawing Kaido's attention.
• Solo Journey of Jinbe, Knight of The Sea - Jinbe had stated that he needed to settle affairs with Big Mom before joining the crew, and this is his journey to do just that. He discovers a poneglyph along the way and recruits Wadatsumi for the Sun Pirates. All of these things play a role in the Whole Cake Island Arc.
• The Stories of the Self Proclaimed Straw Hat Fleet - We were already directly told by the narrator that the fleet as a whole would be part of a huge event, but the various members have already done things that may have wider implications
  • Cavendish and Bartolomeo bragged to journalists about Luffy's exploits after Whole Cake, contributing to his first Billion bounty
  • Bartolomeo cut down one of Shanks flags, an unforgivable act in the pirate world that is bound to come up again somehow
  • Sai and Leo acted as protection at the Reverie for their respective kingdoms, ultimately getting involved in a huge incident with the Celestial Dragons
  • Ideo and BlueGilly's respect for one another may have inspired their respective tribes to handle their differences differently, we'll have to see
  • I'll be quite surprised if we don't see the New Giant Warrior Pirates come into play in the Elbaf arc. Hajrudin is noted to revere the original Giant Warrior Pirates quite a bit, and both he and Stansen are shown to take their country's traditions pretty seriously.
• "Gang" Bege's Oh My Family - Not sure what Oda might be planning with this one. Between Lola, Chiffon, and Pound's experiences with the Straw Hats, there's no way they'd be anything but future allies. However the current motivations of the Firetank Pirates are unclear, and Oda has all the options in the world on what to do with them next.
• Germa 66's Ahh... An Emotionless Excursion - We learn that although Germa 66 escaped Totto Land, Niji & Yonji weren't so lucky. Reiju and Ichiji eventually rescue them and Caesar.
  • Caesar linking up with Judge again leads to them reminiscing and us getting some MADS history. We see some of Vegapunk's inventions, but NEO MADS is also formed, which will surely come into play in some fashion.
  • Kuzan and Van Augur had simultaneously attacked Chocolat Town and kidnapped Pudding, explaining Kuzan's absence during the Winner Island battle

As seen with the most recent cover arcs, Oda no longer has the same luxury of time when it comes to these stories paying off. We're seeing a lot of these things have implications in real time, so I expect Oda is whipping something way more than just Yamato going on a stroll. She could have an Enel type of experience where she stumbles upon some kind of ancient lore/mural that reveals something key about the Void Century/Ancient Kingdom. Blackbeard might decide he can act on the information about Pluton immediately, and we see the beginning of an attack/infiltration. If Big Mom/Kaido aren't truly finished, maybe this is where we get the first hints of that.

Mythical Zoan: Shai Hulud

[u/RepulsiveRevenue8]

This is what Sabo see in Mary Geoise, that is truly hell. Prop's to him he manage to escape alive.

But seriously Vegapunk if you wanna be a streamer the first thing you do is hire an editor, cmon 10 minutes opening stream to make a coffee?

[u/xxkdavid]

sword gandhi being a horse is so unexpected LMAO

[u/semanticmemory]

Gandhi has a sword. Zoro stop fucking around with the kitty, your real opponent this arc has arrived.

[u/TopRoyalLane]

a fiery demonic circle is etched inside the capital of the world

Vegapunk in the video: "Behold! Instant Coffee!"

[u/Lightnraad]

There introduction was intriguing...if they were devil fruit users, they would have been introduced with the devil fruit category and it's model but instead they were directly introduced as those types of monsters. i think this is a clear indication that they are not devil fruit users but straight up demons.

[u/emirua]

All speculation here, but it seems the final war should be Sun God Nika with the help of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto vs Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the moon (Imu?). So the giants here have the task of helping Luffy escape before the final war and show him the way to the 4th poneglyph and then get the ancient weapons to fight against these monsters. What a great plot to develop imo while still adding the role of blackbeard, the revolutionaries, cross guild, and many others in all this..

[u/Excitium]

I know I know, the double spread and all, but best part of the chapter for me was the moment Sanji started talking shit, Zoro was like "You fucking what, mate?" and no diffed Lucci.

Also I think it's kinda funny how the other Gorōsei have full on beast forms and then you have Saturn just having his good ol' Saturn noggin on a spider body

[u/Naserci]

Lucci : I am in control of this fight

Zoro : I am in control of this fight

Sanji : Actually it's me

[u/GuardianGero]

You, a normal, well-adjusted One Piece fan: "Giant skeletal horse!"

Me, with debilitating brain disease: "horpse"

[u/ra88hul]

now we just need Hans Zimmer to create music for this and the upcoming chapters

[u/RedGrobo]

I have to say the Giant Pirates rolling around casually with swords on their shoulders having a jolly good time wrecking everything in sight is the perfect vibe.

[u/UnknownCornman]

One piece is crazy good this week

[u/TaurAnder]

Wapol had every right to shit bricks.

[u/Difficult_Shine3675]

It's kind of insane that Sabo managed to survive his encounter during Levely.

[u/Paraxom]

Anyone else remember the demon worshippers brook crashed into pre-timeskip after kuma yeeted him? I think they were trying to summon nusjuro. Only thing they probably knew was that he was tall, skeletal and wielded a sword which also describes brook

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

I feel like everybody is sleeping on Zoro dodging Lucci’s last attack like it was nothing. He read that cat like it was an open book.

[u/Sea_Independence_423]

Damn how the hell did Sabo get away from these motherfuckers

[u/funger92]

Jesus Christ, I think that was the first full double spread in a long time. It really is the endgame.

[u/infinitezero8]

"what a burden"

and bro took that seriously

[u/HenryZusa]

Gandhi slaying the 'Pacifistas' is somehow poetic

[u/The_Attractor]

Planetfall must be the coolest name for a chapter ever.

[u/marshaln]

Of course Zoro could've finished the fight eons ago but decided to take his time

[u/F1RECHARGE_official]

I can't even imagine how I was thinking at start of egghead that Luffy will fight Lucci & seraphims to escape Egghead with Vegapunk...  And now I am here, seeing the nightmare of OP World being incarnated on Egghead
