[u/Juarto]

Vegapunk: the world will sink! Rayleigh: 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️

[u/Zyndro_ → u/Juarto]

Aokiji: 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[u/Black_Ironic → u/Zyndro_]

Ryokugyu: 🚁🚁🚁

[u/KiKenTai → u/Black_Ironic]

Marco: 🕊🕊🕊

[u/Brownbeluga → u/KiKenTai]

Literally every Fishman: 🐟🐟🐟

[u/mrpokehontas]

Suddenly the promise between Joy Boy and the fishmen regarding Noah is starting to make more sense...

[u/Coggs92 → u/mrpokehontas]

Imagine if the world wasn't just islands during the Void Century, but actually continents.

[u/Jonny_the_Rocket → u/Coggs92]

It wouldn't shock me one bit, especially considering the World Government's headquarters, where the Five Elders, God's Knights supreme commander, and Commander-in-Chief of the Marines operate, is literally called Pangea Castle. If the Red Line were to be shattered, we might end up with those smaller continental units you mentioned.

[u/hiero_ → u/mrpokehontas]

He was apologizing for not being able to stop it the last time it happened.

Also neither here nor there but I'm guessing Zunesha was only able to save the Minks.

[u/Panda_Kabob]

My man chopper tanking an attack from one of the Elders.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/Panda_Kabob]

Bounty increase by 100 Berry incoming🔥🔥🔥

[u/FireFistRJ → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

Or, the elder might find him cute and keep him as a pet.

[u/ConspicuousFlower → u/Panda_Kabob]

And Brook cutting one of his legs off!

[u/Mundology → u/ConspicuousFlower]

It has been a while since Brook got a hype moment

[u/Chabedieux → u/Panda_Kabob]

Not only that, but Brooke cut off one of Saturn's legs.

[u/DankFozz]

"No, that was Franky. I heard he's turned himself into a ship now"

GOAT.

[u/Orcas_are_badass → u/DankFozz]

Imagine you’re talking about a rumor of a guy who broke into Vegapunk lab, and afterwards turned himself into a ship, and then Vegapunk tells the whole world they’re sinking into the ocean.

Those kids will believe Franky turned himself into a ship to survive the apocalypse, after reading Vegapunks notes, for the rest of their lives.

[u/smcadam → u/Orcas_are_badass]

That's so good. The... clash of sensible logic, and absolute derangement. Thankyou for tripling the value of that joke for me!

[u/crysomore → u/DankFozz]

Wranky adapting to climate change

[u/Fakens123]

That Nico Robin moment was epic. It carries so much history in the story. The Strawhats were serious when they said they will never let anything happen to Robin again. And the fact that the weakest members of the crew are saying it in front of the scariest antagonist in OP makes it even better.

[u/DargoKillmar → u/Fakens123]

Nami stocks are rising this week

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/DargoKillmar]

Straw-hats stocks are rising in general. The fact that even the weaker members look like powerhouses is insane.

[u/AllHailTheNod → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

Yea let's remember last chapter Franky basically oneshot a Vice Admiral. Those are fighters Luffy would have had trouble with pre-Timeskip.

[u/Legitimate__Username → u/Fakens123]

The final saga up against the Five Elders is literally the perfect time to be driving home just how important Robin is and how far the crew would and NEEDS to go to keep her safe. In a story that's spent a lot of years not fully actively engaging with the full scope of her threat to the world, THESE are the villains who would never forget that fact, and they are delivering the MAXIMUM impact from that sudden change in stakes.

[u/HokageEzio → u/Fakens123]

Yeah that was easily the best part of the chapter imo. They don't really know anything about Ohara or what happened (other than what Shaka talked about at the beginning of the arc), but they can tell Saturn is after her and they have to protect her. Very cool moment for all of them, and it's nice that all the strongest members are elsewhere.

[u/Gyokan7]

That chess cover is sick.

[u/TTZZJJ → u/Gyokan7]

Goes hand in hand with the 5D chess that Vegapunk played this chapter.

[u/Orbmac]

Nami shouting to protect Robin gave me real Enies lobby feels. The panel where Nami throws herself to save Robin gave me the feels ;_;

[u/No_Sheepherder_2901 → u/Orbmac]

BEST GIRLS NAMI AND ROBIN 😭😭😭 I love these crew so much

[u/asianant]

Baldimore citizens: And then Franky turned himself into a ship, funniest shit I've ever heard.

[u/Ryuzakku → u/asianant]

Broke: That's a funny one liner

Woke: That is FORESHADOWING

[u/SpirallingOut → u/Ryuzakku]

Oda previously drew Franky as a battleship in his "bad future" so I think it's a nod to that and his current bounty poster being the sunny.

[u/Ryuzakku → u/SpirallingOut]

Well, him needing to become a battleship would be a good reason as to why he doesn't want to eat a devil fruit

[u/petrichorE6 → u/asianant]

I cracked up at that too, the thing is I can actually see Franky doing that.

[u/retox35 → u/petrichorE6]

It's a nod to his bounty poster

[u/Initial_Button2089 → u/petrichorE6]

In the dark path story Franky turns himself into ship

[u/JojoTheEngineer]

IMU's big brain move that no one can use devil fruits if everyone is under water.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/JojoTheEngineer]

Let's see how Imu handles the refugee crisis when only the red line stays above water.

[u/DeismAccountant → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

You assume he cares about what happens to everyone else…..

[u/Gray_Cota]

I love not being able to predict where Oda is going with his story.

I've been enjoying this ride since my early teens, amd it's just getting better and better, even 20 years later.

Imagine being such a good author that after such a long time of telling the same continuous story, it's not only not stale, but perhaps the best it has ever been.

[u/Swamp_Centipede → u/Gray_Cota]

Right there with you brother. Go D. A

[u/LilUziViet]

One piece is crazy good this week

[u/Mundology → u/LilUziViet]

Even in death Vegapunk cooked.

Wano, Fish man Island, Noah Ark, Iceburg's plan to turn the island into a ship, Marie Geoise, Reverse Mountain, Enel's idea, etc. All the dots finally connect.

[u/goody153 → u/Mundology]

Fucking nuts how much Oda has planned in 25 years. Planting fucking dots everywhere

[u/echolog → u/LilUziViet]

One Piece is crazy good this YEAR.

[u/FireFistRJ]

Vegapunk: I am dead, but you all will also die very soon. Bye!

[u/FireFistRJ → u/FireFistRJ]

Meanwhile, Yonkou Luffy: Don't kill me by throwing me in the water.

[u/popop143 → u/FireFistRJ]

I didn't even think about Vegapunk's statement being almost a death sentence for devil fruit users.

[u/Doomroar → u/popop143]

Black Beard right now with a crew full of DF users: "Well shit..."

[u/Old-Bread-8977 → u/FireFistRJ]

Hopefully Skypiea and the other sky islands have room for some of the people needing to escape from down below. Wano could help too, considering it is a massive country and is well above sea level.

[u/igncom1 → u/Old-Bread-8977]

I guess that's the reason they don't officially exist.

That and the friggin moon lol

[u/23zdm]

Love seeing everyone in the crew willing to throw hands for Robin.

Also, Morgans would clearly never make it in the YouTube era

[u/FireFistRJ → u/23zdm]

Fake News Morgan is worried about social media killing the print media.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/FireFistRJ]

Funniest part about is that he doesn't even do propaganda for anybody. He just lies to sell papers.

[u/endelehia → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

So he would be perfect for YouTube with his clickbait content

[u/Jasonn444 → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

He doesn't lie. He just picks the most impactful news then sensationalizes the fuck out of it.

[u/Odd_Yam3983 → u/Jasonn444]

He tells a half-truth that benefits him.

[u/petrichorE6 → u/23zdm]

I think he would flourish even more to be honest. It's all about big personalities and there's no one bigger than BIG NEWS MORGAN!

[u/hoboshoe]

Roger was too early, THE SEA HADN'T RISEN ENOUGH YET.

[u/laurel_laureate → u/hoboshoe]

Roger: "So I... beat climate change? By being that good? ... I can only laugh at this tale..."

[u/hoboshoe → u/laurel_laureate]

Roger, in classic boomer style, laughs knowing he will die before the effects of climate change becomes apparent

[u/wisepainting- → u/hoboshoe]

You’re telling me there is some place/thing carved into the red line that is only accessible when the sea levels rise

[u/wisepainting- → u/wisepainting-]

AND IT MAY BE RIGHT UNDER REVERSE MOUNTAIN. X MARKS THE SPOT IS IT THE ANCIENT KINGDOM

[u/DeGozaruNyan → u/wisepainting-]

WHY ARE WR SHOUTING?

[u/jhere → u/hoboshoe]

HOLY FUCK 

[u/partymsl → u/hoboshoe]

But he did get to know about the truth of the world there.

So what was yet to be revealed?

I guess it could be that Laugh Tale is the story of the world sinking and probably the backstory behind that. Also probably the solution to it.

And Roger was just laughing because it was ironic that the Pirate King of all is supposed to save the world.

[u/Black_roses_glow → u/partymsl]

I am pretty sure it’s an old crack theory, but under these circumstances …

… what if the world of void century was our world (or a very close version to this?)

By this I mean both in a geographical and technological sense.

[u/mattferrari17]

Still so crazy to see how far the crew has come… Everyone fighting against the Five Elders demonstrates we’re truly in the endgame :(

[u/Mundology → u/mattferrari17]

Seeing Caesar Clown break down for Vegapunk's death felt heartbreaking. Even villains respected the old man.

[u/RodJosser]

Fishmen: Oh, yeah... okay?

[u/XtendedImpact → u/RodJosser]

Arlong was right all along, Fishmen are the superior race. Oda I kneel.

[u/LITW6991 → u/XtendedImpact]

Hody won 

[u/nsfwfodder → u/RodJosser]

It's free real estate

[u/semajolis267 → u/RodJosser]

Arlong-"I see this as an absolute win"

[u/Gehweiher]

Oda just has this special ability to hit you with a crazy twist that in hindsight seems so obvious

All the set up with Water 7, the ark Noah, Mariejois built on the Red Line, even very recently the reports on the rising sea levels... he just had to connect the dots.

There is the longlasting theory of Luffy destroying the Red Line which would flood the whole world and create "One Piece" but it seems like it might actually be the other way around; Luffy having to prevent the world from being drowned by "defeating the seas".

[u/mfj__]

stocks of rayleighs shipcoating businesses right now: 📈📈📈📈📈

[u/availableusernamepls → u/mfj__]

Rayleigh discovered the truth of the world and immediately thought of a way to profit.

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/availableusernamepls]

And Crocus living inside of a whale. These guys totally knew.

[u/Normal-Witness7083]

When the world sinks to the ocean it’s over for the Blackbeard pirates is all I know 😭 they really should’ve thought through having an entire crew of devil fruit users.

[u/Sweatty-LittleFatty → u/Normal-Witness7083]

Maybe that's why he wants to have a kingdom, so he can Join in the Mariejois when that happen.

[u/YDVN_0]

Now we know why celestial dragons live in such a high place and wear the weird scuba diver costume.

[u/MisterRominade → u/YDVN_0]

And it also gives motivation as to why York wanted to become one, to her, it might be the only chance at survival

[u/sarmadqt]

So this raises a question as to what purpose the Noah serves, assuming that the engineers for it created it with the great flood in mind? Is it actually to aid Fishmen or is it meant to be piloted by Fishmen to aid the land dwellers? Furthermore, would the Skypieans also aid in helping the rest of the world come to the sky? So many societies connected with Joyboy and the Ancient Kingdom seem to be in positions to somewhat deal with the great sinking; this is thoroughly fascinating.

[u/mozzaru → u/sarmadqt]

I assume it means that joyboy promised two things, one to bring them to the surface and two to make sure there was still a surface to come to.

[u/poopindoopinscoopin → u/sarmadqt]

Enel might've been onto something when he made that flying boat.

[u/partymsl → u/sarmadqt]

Pretty sure the Noah was used to help humans from the previous flood (called Void Century).

Would also make biblical sense.

[u/icegloo]

the one piece is a swimsuit after all

[u/Shiplord13]

Anyone else find it funny that Franky's friends in Baldimore think he straight up turned into a boat are just like "yeah crazy right".

Also Morgans might get some ideas with broadcasting "Big News" with this little stunt with that print is dead comment.

[u/kingshamroc25]

Weakling Trio attacking an Elder with zero hesitation so that Robin doesn’t have to go through any more trauma is peak

[u/oops_im_dead]

Just how early has this madman been planning this???

[u/petrichorE6 → u/[deleted]]

planned on making the island float

Ahh, so that's why he's called iceberg..

[u/Environmental_Sell74 → u/petrichorE6]

Wait I also just realized because you said it💀

[u/KyodaiNoYatsu → u/[deleted]]

Iceburg is a goddamn visionary

"They called me mad!"

[u/Legitimate__Username → u/KyodaiNoYatsu]

Technically they only called him the greatest mayor they could've ever asked for actually

[u/someone2795 → u/[deleted]]

Wano used to be much lower too.

HOLY SHIT THE CLUES ARE ALL OVER THE STORY.

[u/TheSquid77 → u/oops_im_dead]

Presumably a lot of the stuff that's upcoming is some of the oldest planned things, the ending had been written before the series began.

[u/oops_im_dead → u/TheSquid77]

Man I know we glaze Oda enough here but sitting on this stuff for 1000+ chapters is mind blowing, I couldn't imagine.

[u/MomonteMeri → u/oops_im_dead]

Yeah I agree, even if a lot of it is improvisation, to say he didn’t know how the story ended and what plot points needed to happen to reach the ending is a straight up lie

[u/petrichorE6 → u/TheSquid77]

The giant brain in the tank isn't vegapunk's, its Oda's.

[u/Asmokys]

What if the broadcast comes from York head and she doesn’t know about it ? Since she value her own Life, she’ll hide the truth until the end if she discovered it 

[u/Ukuleleon → u/Asmokys]

Interesting. Maybe thats why they are called Satallites, because they all literally are. The broadcast can't be stopped, if any Vegapunk is still alive. And concidering they don't share all their informations, York wouldn't even need to know about it

[u/Bigbenn0]

Usopp will be too scared to step foot on a island but will fight a literal demon without hesitation to protect his friends

He’s going to elbaf for nothing cause all they gonna tell his is that he’s already a brave warrior of the sea and he don’t need their help

[u/Khione_Asteri → u/Bigbenn0]

he said it's on sight if you threaten robin

[u/go_sparks25]

What an epic chapter. And the sinking into the ocean thing isnt the only thing Vegapunk is going to cover. It is only his opening statement. And what an opening statement to begin with.

[u/J_abz]

https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/amEqwdKMVh

Crazy

[u/the_idiotlord → u/J_abz]

lol shocked to see my theory posted in this thread

hoping it gets posted outside of this thread tomorrow when thats allowed by the rules. i prolly will if no one else does. was really happy to find out i was right!! (and also the chapter was a banger, as usual)

[u/Satsuma0]

I can't believe Luffy is going to destroy Fishman Island to create an enormous cartoonish drain that lowers the planet's sea level back down, and then plug it with Mary Geoise.

[u/Phionex141]

Vegapunk presents: An Inconvenient Truth

[u/hutbear → u/Phionex141]

he's gonna become all gore soon that's for sure

[u/Wille304 → u/hutbear]

Turns out Imu's true form is Manbearpig.

I'm super cereal...

[u/aCookiie]

THE CLIMATE CHANGE! THE CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL!!!

[u/Kiga282 → u/aCookiie]

Well, yeah. Have you seen the weather on the Grand Line? The climate on that world oscillates wildly from one moment to the next.

The Blues are safe, but imagine if the weather patterns of the Grandline extend out to a global scale

[u/Vorticity1848 → u/Kiga282]

And the cause is the CO2 emissions of Kaido and Orochis weapon factories. #fuckOrochi

[u/anon-345999]

That panel with the SH’s immediately going to protect Robin after seeing her distraught, after JUST being shown terrified of Saturn a moment prior, is the highlight of this chapter for me.

Sanji leaping off skele-death’s blade for a strike was dope af, and really helped scale how huge this dude is.

[u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Bless Vegapunk for cutting straight to the chase, so nice of him

An underwater apocalypse is tough to process though, mass hysteria is imminent and this could lead to the start of the final war sooner than we expected

Edit: To those who might ask "wdym he cut to the chase", he started with the conclusion and saved us 5 chapters of waiting for it lol

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Imagine if people just say "It's fake" lmao.

[u/Observation_Haki_84 → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

You mean something like ‘climate change is a hoax’

[u/[deleted] → u/Observation_Haki_84]

It gives a new meaning to the "All Blue"

[u/LetterExtension3162 → u/[deleted]]

true, this is why it became a myth. It was last seen in void century.

[u/late2scrum → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Hody and Arlong are rock hard rn

[u/Legitimate__Username → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

This is such a great reveal because after several chapters of build-up for what we readers already know and assume he's going to share to the rest of the world now, a reveal of the World Government's corruption, he instead hits us with another insane worldbuilding twist that we didn't even have on our radar for this moment.

[u/ibaydi33]

The panel of the "weak" strawhats protecting robin against the most menacing creature they have ever seen with NO hesitation whatsoever.. I CRIED

[u/LITW6991 → u/ibaydi33]

Love our crew

[u/Just_Possibility125]

Ngl That's not the brain in the chamber I was expecting.

[u/FireFistRJ]

Arlong: Told you peeps, that we fishmen are a superior race.

[u/Cybrpnk2077brokeme]

Robin being the main target again is quite nostalgic

[u/fripaek]

"No that was Franky. I've heared he's turned himsef into a ship now."

Peak chapter!

[u/aWhateverOrSomething]

Rayleigh chilling at Sabaody, an island of which the surface is the top of a mangrove forest, trees that grow from the bottom of the occean to the top. With easy access to Fishman Island.

Crocus chilling inside a whale, next to the tallest point of the red line.

Joyboy leaving behind him a giant elephant twice the height of the sea surface.

Shanks built a crew of non-devil fruit users.

Just putting it out there.

[u/Jasonn444]

Color Spread: Pirate King's Gambit

Safe to say Vegapunk's brain is super massive. Just the base alone is wider than an entire person. No wonder he had to lop it off.

Ha, even some pirates at Hachinosu are interested in what Vegapunk's gonna say.

I was saying Nusjuro's hybrid form could afford to look more skeletal, and here he is turning his head into a skull. Cool.

Eyy, Duval.

Even Caesar is upset.

Morgans: "This news is too big for me!"

Brook cut off a leg, woo.

Are the Marines at the end reacting to something happening right above Egghead?

[u/TTZZJJ → u/Jasonn444]

No they’re reacting to Vegapunk’s message

[u/majordanger_stranger]

Nothing to see here, just Brook and Franky staying GOATED

[u/vinsmokewhoswho]

Dude, seeing Vegapunk's gigantic severed head inside that tank is so weird. Very unsettling and creepy. I imagined it would just be the brain. The hair still being there and all...just super weird. But cool.

Sanji blocking the sword and kicking Nasujuro (even drawing blood) was pretty damn sick. love it. I assume (and hope) he's gonna be fine after being munched on.

A bit I found absolutely hilarious was on Vegapunk's home island when that one guy said "nah it was Franky who caused the incident. I heard he turned himself into a ship now."

[u/arrrados]

Maybe the real reason why celestial dragons have their "spacesuits" is that they were actually diving suits they used during void century but the reason why they wear them got twisted through the centuries.

[u/Nightblade96]

Fishmen stocks skyrocketing rn

[u/Hammet02]

Lmao so is this the reason why rayleigh learned ship coating to avoid ships getting drowned? And crocus lives inside a freaking whale. They learned the world would sink to the ocean.

[u/Buscemi_D_Sanji]

Egghead is literally one of the best arcs of anything I've ever read, holy shit.

I thought we'd get the name of the ancient kingdom, but no, Oda never wants us to be able to predict what's coming, so of course that didn't happen. I should have learned after 16 years of reading weekly, but I still get fooled.

More than anything, the strawhats really feel like a yonko crew now that they're fighting the gorosei and Luffy straight dusted kizaru.

The brain reveal and decoy denden mushi was expected but still such a dope scene.

That sbs about how sanji's eyebrow represents ocean currents, how swirls are the nature of the world (call junji ito), and if they stopped, it would be chaos... The worldwide tsunami/flood theory is looking good right now, especially with Momo reading the log book and deciding not to break the walls around Wano without explaining why, because he knew it still needed to be elevated.

Water 7 and then thriller bark, then zunesha... We've been told for a while that people are preparing for a great flood. What if pirates originated in the first place because ships were one of the only ways to survive when there was no land, and that's why the poneglyphs are the only evidence of the void century, because everything else was wiped away?

11/10 chapter, everything I want in one piece.

[u/ICantTakeThisNoMore9]

Couple of thoughts.

That's why namis dream wasn't even mentioned once in 1000 chapters. There will be a whole new world map to draw when all is said and done. So far all she's done is cartograph some mountain tops.

Franky at water 7 was saying that the sea level is rising every year. Maybe it's not something imu can control at will. So when he said it's time for the great clensing, it wasn't because he wanted it but more like it's the time of the flood and prophecy.

So crocus modified a whale to live in at the grand line entrance and rayligh is a master boat coater in the middle. I bet my money that scooper gaban is living with his mermaid wife somewhere at the end. Them boys are prepared. Also shanks not having devil fruit users in his crew.

I got to go back and re read so many relevant passages.

[u/Kiboune → u/ICantTakeThisNoMore9]

Roger tricked everyone to go after his treasure, so people would build more ships

[u/ArtisticDimension864 → u/Kiboune]

daaaaaammmnnn

[u/ch3333r → u/ICantTakeThisNoMore9]

all the Strawhats: achieved their dreams

except Nami: "I want to make a map of the whole world" really escaled with this "outer space" thing

[u/mfj__]

The world will sink into the sea

Fishmen: See, we got 99 problems but this ain’t one…

[u/pikmim3]

Could it be...?
it all makes sense now
Void Century (100 Years of void) = The Period When the World Submerges in the Sea
Holy Land Mary Geois =One of the Few Areas Where Humanity Can Survive the Great Floods that Occur Every 800 Years. The tribe that rules this place can survive and dominate humanity thereafter."

The setup with elements like the underwater suits resembling those of the Celestial Dragons the Water Seven submerging into the sea, Noah's Ark on the Island of the Mermaids, and most of the main stages being located on high ground or flood-resistant islands suggests a substantial buildup for this particular scene.

It also makes sense why Gold D.Roger started Great Pirate Era.
;Upon learning the truth that World is sinking into the sea, he left testament about a treasure. This led to the era of great piracy, as people became pirates in pursuit of the treasure, navies emerged to counter them, and merchants capitalized on the trend by building numerous ships to prepare for potential disasters even if the world were to sink into the sea. If someone were to claim that the world is sinking into the sea before being executed, it would have been seen as absurd and would have been met with ridicule, as the world would not have been prepared for such an event, potentially leading to a global panic. Rayleigh's ship coating business is a evidence that he himself is also preparing for world sink event in his own way. The reaction of the members who went to Raftel upon hearing the news of Roger's execution, laughing while crying, indicates that they knew Roger, the king among pirates, made such a testament to save people worldwide.

How many years of buildup is this exactly?

[u/Doomroar]

Guys why is no one talking about how the Egghead clothes for the future are bikinis and Hawaiian beach shirts? that's perfect attire for a flooded planet!

[u/Luffy-no-umi]

the world: Vegapunk is dead?!

Big News Morgans: I am never going to financially recover from this.

[u/Potential_Quantity_3]

Water 7, old wano being submerged, the rivers in alabasta being pushed back by the ocean.. this has clearly been planned.

[u/SomeBoxofSpoons → u/Potential_Quantity_3]

Also suddenly remembering how literally the entire One Piece planet is just made up of scattered islands, with the Red Line being the closest thing to a continent they have (where Mariejoies is located at a very high altitude).

[u/jromz03]

Vegapunk: "the world's gonna sink"

5 elders: "that's all? whew!"

Vegapunk: "Also 800 years ago..."

5 elders: "Vegapunk!!!!!" Imu: "I want Vivi!"

[u/rockhuesos94]

"sea level is rising every year " - Franky, chapter 350 😳

[u/realbeatz23]

Holy shit is that why Crocus lives in a whale and Rayleigh is a ship coater. They’ve known the whole time

[u/MrS0L0M0N]

Calling it now; York has the broadcast inside her. This sounds like a crackpot, break week theory but hear me out;

Her role in the Vegapunks is eating and sleeping. If she's literally made to handle the food, restroom and sleep schedule of several other bodies. She's also one of the larger bodies, the reason she can't think straight on where it might be because she probably doesn't realize she's ingested a broadcast snail among the multiple meals she wolfed down earlier.

It also makes sense because it's telepathic signal is mixed with hers so Mars can't sense it. It also messes with the Gorosei's plans because either they kill her to stop the broadcast but lose a Vegapunk that can replicate the Mother Flame, or let her live and the World knows everything.

[u/IsSanjiLookingGood]

Sanji looking pretty good this chapter.

[u/FireFistRJ → u/IsSanjiLookingGood]

We are not gonna cut you slack just 'cause you are senile!! Damn, Sanji roasting an elder like that.

[u/idvsjsnakan → u/FireFistRJ]

Sanji has always been a great shit talker

[u/alanalan426 → u/IsSanjiLookingGood]

Even Kaya cant escape from the Post time skip double buff

[u/LogicalMaster]

The weaker trio fighting against a gorousei to save Robin. Fucking legends 😭

[u/Shiplord13]

So people who aren't screwed by everything sinking:

1. Fishmen - Arlong and Hody were too early to enact their plans of running their own Fishman Kingdoms.

2. World Nobles & their slaves/employees - Literally living a top the highest point in the world below the clouds.

3. Skypeians/Anyone living in the White Seas - They will wonder why the blue sea seems closer then it usually does and then go back to doing their cloud related activities.

4. Enel on the Moon with those robots - Guy is so far from the planet that nothing related to it is his problem any more.

[u/Exaltus-Lux]

Enel is really going to be the last man standing.

[u/MSC_Agency]

Vegapunk left the denden mushi inside the robot, that why he was half blocked inside at the beginning of the arc.

[u/Bad_news_everyone]

Roger wanted to save as many people he could, so his announcement before his death lead to thousands of people getting their own boats so that they wouldn't drown.

[u/LITW6991]

Hody and Arlong lost the battle but won the war. 

[u/RuinOCE]

The world being set to sink underwater and the fact that devil fruit users are weak to sea water has to be related

[u/jrsp11]

I think given that Pirates have been made to be villains and terrible people by the world government/navy, what is going to happen is that everyone, civilians a like, is going to have to become a pirate to be able to survive this great flood/the world government completely flipping the narrative that pirates are bad and therefore the king of the pirates is actually the ruler of the world and or all people. And this is what Roger laughed at, that after years of being chased as a villain because he was a pirate, that in the end everyone will end up being a pirate too

[u/MsHelvetica]

“Protect Robin.”

Fuck, that one line got to me hard!

[u/PM_ME_UR_SO]

Do you guys realize One Piece will never be the same after this chapter? All the wild discussions and theories are all now going to relate to the flood. This is the end of an era and a true indication that we're really nearing the end :(

[u/redragon88]

Vegapunk: The world is going to sink.

Iceburg in the distance: FUCKING CALLED IT!

This also explains old Wano. They built those walls to protect themselves from the sinking, but the rain filling it up fucked them over.

[u/nlman0]

“Please do not assume the ones who strike me down are evil.”

Kizaru is 1000% switching sides.

[u/OtakuSenpaii17]

Arlong is laughing his ass off in prison. 

He's going to come back with his Za water and kill those CDs.

[u/pulkitaditya]

All Blue is becoming very very real, very very quick

[u/TheAdamena]

The transponder is 100% inside of York lmao

[u/zhouy3141]

And then he turned himself into a ship. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

[u/The_Attractor]

I laughed with the casual conversation about the Baldimore Incident. Like, wasn't Vegapunk responsible? Nah, it was Franky, he's a ship now.

[u/[deleted]]

After learning about everything in Laugh Tale, Reyleigh decides to make a ship coating business and Crocus decides to live inside of a whale

[u/Jinyu_waterspeaker]

Anyone else notice the Fake transponder shell was shaped like Poop? Vegapunk trolled the elder into stepping in shit.

edit: I know it might be a stretch too, but I can't help but feel its also a little homage to Toriyama as he liked using the poop gag.

[u/Ok-Construction9542]

I think the whole thing about the one piece world is that all the islands are connected to each others and they used to be one piece , but cause of the rising water the only places remaining are the mountains of that giant piece of lands that are the actual islands

[u/Dragomatic]

The One Piece is a drain stopper, once pulled the ocean levels will return to pre-void levels, connecting many of the various kingdoms and islands we love and revealing the amazing ruins of the lost kingdom that span the world

[u/LedgeEndDairy]

The Straw Hats - and especially Nami - immediately understanding that Robin was in danger and moving to protect her got me teary eyed for the first time in a long time.

Still keeping that promise. Even Usopp is bravely taking on a GOROSEI. That is huge.

[u/Jaco1518]

Just remembered how Roger said that they got to Laughtale too soon... What if the actual One Piece is underwater, and without the world sinking they cannot get whatever is there... I also find it so crazy how the celestial dragons literally are wearing diving suits!!! It's been in front of us for a whole decade!!!!

[u/D-Biggest_Wheel]

This makes the 3rd Celestial Dragon that Sanji has kicked and a second member of the Gorosei!

Sanji kicking Celestial Dragon's asses and taking names!

[u/RPG217]

I love how the lion in Baldimore wear a headpiece similar to Thousand Sunny lol.

[u/Fake_the_jaB]

Vegapunk after yapping nothing of importance throughout the whole chapter : “I’ll cut to the chase.”

🤣🤣🤣

[u/LuxVacui]

Sky island's real estate market is peaking right now!

[u/-Galdor-]

Is this why Shanks and his crew has no df, Rayleigh is in the bubble coating business, and Crocus is living inside Laboon?

[u/poopindoopinscoopin]

Waterworld came out in 1995 and Oda started writing One Piece in 1996 (not published, just writing it). Coincidence???

[u/GuardianGero → u/poopindoopinscoopin]

Imu is Kevin Costner confirmed.

[u/Kiboune]

Nami, Chopper, Brook and Usopp attacking elder to protect Robin is one of the best moments! I love it when they work as a team

[u/Mr_Bell_Man]

The real transponder snail is probably inside of York. Destroying her means the Elders can't recreate the Mother Flame. Vegapunk probably saw her betrayal ahead of time and used her as the snail vessel.

[u/livindaye]

hol' up, is that why mariejoa at top of the red line, because the entire celestial dragons already know this?

[u/Inspectadapt]

I know there’s a lot going on in this chapter, but can we just talk about the Panel where Nami, Chopper, Usopp and Brook protect Robin? For me the best panel of the chapter. That’s what the Strawhats have always been about. No matter what, even the weakest of the crew will put their life at stake when it’s needed. No f— hesitation. Legends!

[u/ruisen2]

I love the leveling of trolling here

Gorosei: "Noooo he's about to reveal our secrets!"

Vegapunk: "Fun fact, the world isn't all about you".

[u/4nonW4tcher]

I just noticed, Vegapunk says to not label whoever killed him as bad, just in case the Strawhats are framed for his death. Wich, is problaby what will happen

[u/NationalStrategy]

Vegapunk: Our world is going to sink into the ocean.

Arlong: SHAHAHAHAHA!! I told y’all that Fishmen were the superior race! You humans can suck it!

[u/yungclumsy]

I posted this as a reply to someone in the spoilers but it seems appropriate to post here too.

The Noah never made that much sense to me since fishmen don’t really have a need for an ark to take them to the surface but this chapter has me rethinking its purpose.

I think the Ancient Kingdom and the kings (or at least some of them) of the 20 allied nations knew that the world was sinking 800 years ago. The AK built the ark to take as many people of as many races as possible to the Red Line for safety but the allied nations wanted to keep the land exclusively for nobility which is what sparked their conflict. The common people fighting for the allied nations I’m sure would have been lied to about the reasons for this and have no idea they were really being sold out by their leaders.

I also think they didn’t actually know how long it would take otherwise the ark would still be pretty unnecessary, 800 years is ample time to move some people. Imu’s focus on recreating the Mother Flame is to speed this process up

Finally, the reason I think some and not all of the rulers of those nations knew the truth is because I believe Lili discovering it is what led to her betrayal. It’s reasonable that only Imu and the Gorosei themselves actually knew the whole story even back then (assuming they have been alive that long as many have speculated)

[u/shadowspikes45]

Holy shit the world noble’s dumbass costumes and them turning fish men into slaves makes so much sense now!!!

[u/QuizMasterAsh]

Whatever One Piece was, Roger didn't get it because he was too early.

The world needs to be sunk for One Piece to appear, which is happening now.

One Piece ( the Manga) will end with the world becoming One Piece of land.

[u/Unyik]

Whitebeard: One Piece is real

Vegapunk: Global Warming is real
