[u/FringGustavo0204]

Magellan is such a bro to share the live broadcast with Doflamingbro.

[u/LuchadorBane → u/FringGustavo0204]

Special ex-celestial dragon privileges

[u/The_Brightbeak → u/LuchadorBane]

Screw privileges, Malagan just is smart. Better get the person to that knows shit up to speed so he might let u in if shit hits the fan to jump ship xD

[u/takato99 → u/FringGustavo0204]

Gotta love how they let Doffy keep his sunglasses even on the bottom floor of the sea lol

[u/VeryImportantLurker → u/takato99]

Didnt they break in Dressrosa, so they went and ordered him new ones lol

[u/takato99 → u/VeryImportantLurker]

Like every classy villain with a strict clothing code, he probably has 50 spares hidden somewhere and at least one on him at all times. Can't commit crimes without style.

[u/Sidwasnthere → u/FringGustavo0204]

Jokes aside, Doffy was the only one that actually believed Vegapunk off the rip while other Celestial Dragons didn't. I hope we find out what and how he knows whatever he knows

[u/Kirosh2 → u/Sidwasnthere]

First he knows about the Treasure of Marigeoise.

Then, he also has experience outside of Marygeoise, while also being smart, so he has no reason to ever doubt Vegapunk.

Other Celestial Dragons don't even seen aware of the Void Century.

[u/Just_Possibility125]

Why is Saturn destroying machinery with his cane so funny to me for no reason lol

[u/Based_Lord_Shaxx → u/Just_Possibility125]

"Old man yells at coud" energy.

[u/Ipsen_C → u/Just_Possibility125]

Yeah, it was funny, but I guess he's trying to disconect it ala world goverment while trying to not damaging the main machine.
Now I'm wondering if the "science" that Saturn makes is like "man sees stick, man sees stone. Now man have hammer".

[u/GucciRobot → u/Ipsen_C]

When all you have is a Saturn everything looks like a nail

[u/Veggiemon → u/Just_Possibility125]

“Don’t forget I’m a scientist too!” Sounding more and more like bullshit

[u/DiegoOruga → u/Just_Possibility125]

It helps show how desperate they are, very good narrative decision by Oda to draw it like that

[u/Known_Bed_8000]

The initials "A&Mu" on the mother flame tank are a pun on the word "Atom"; in Japanese, you may read "&" as と ('to,' the word for and), making it "Atomu" (meaning "Atom").

[u/SpaceOdysseus23 → u/Known_Bed_8000]

Dude really made a nuclear bomb in a pirate fantasy manga

[u/MooseknuckleSr → u/SpaceOdysseus23]

Sir this is a fusion reactor, huge difference /s

[u/Anjunabeast → u/SpaceOdysseus23]

Vegaheimer

[u/GFraga → u/Known_Bed_8000]

Drawing parallels with Oppenheimer through Vegapunk adds another layer of depth to his storytelling. It's moments like these that shows Oda's genius as a storyteller, blending fiction with reality.

[u/Memotauro]

Dere shi shi shi motherfucker

[u/KNZFive → u/Memotauro]

Saul literally getting the last laugh there. This is some wonderful vindication for the victims of the Ohara incident.

[u/FunkYeahPhotography → u/KNZFive]

Bro is straight up lounging. Him and Robin reuniting is going to be intense.

[u/Raderg32 → u/FunkYeahPhotography]

I want Robin to use her DF to become a giant and bear hug him.

[u/paing997 → u/Memotauro]

Saul already read the Spoilers...

[u/Thomaerys → u/Memotauro]

I don't see any markings on his skin, he seems all healed up from Aokiji's Ice time capsule. Good for him but I was hoping for him to have suffered burns from frostbite and later be revealed as "the man marked by flames". Thus once Robin and Saul reunite on Elbaf we would have learned the location of the last Road Poneglyph. Oh well.

[u/Dik42o → u/Thomaerys]

Probably gonna see the scar on his face

[u/Insecticide]

CHOUCHOU IS BACK

[u/Evil_Lollipop → u/Insecticide]

CHOUCHOU FANDOM RISE

[u/HistoryWillRepeat → u/Insecticide]

That panel got me so emotional. Seeing Saul and then seeing ChouChou on the next page made me take a minute to soak the moment in. I've been reading for 10 years and this will be one of those chapters where Ill always remember where I was when I read it.

[u/GRIZZLY-HILLS → u/Insecticide]

CHOU CHOU CONFIRMED AS THE ONE PIECE

[u/Justind123]

Luffy: tells dorry and broggy not to attack since they're immortal

Also luffy: what if I attacked again but didn't change anything

[u/smcadam → u/Justind123]

He might be able to blast them off, it's surprising that Warcury is keeping so much momentum.

[u/Justind123 → u/smcadam]

Warcury stocks on the rise not unlike the global sea levels

[u/smcadam → u/Justind123]

He's not called the Top Man for nothing, lol.

[u/opkpopfanboyv3 → u/Justind123]

There's a reason why he's called Topman lol

[u/VacantGazing]

I love how Vegapunk is basically beating the Five Elders with a VPN

[u/ErsatzCats → u/VacantGazing]

A true pirate

[u/naughtyparinda → u/VacantGazing]

and that brings us to our sponsor -

[u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Void Century lore, a looming global disaster and reactions from several characters going back as far as Chouchou, it's never felt more like endgame than now

[u/Behanort → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Also - 5 meters is enough to kill everyone in the world...

Imu needs 5 shots of Mother Flame to complete the great cleansing

[u/shartley123 → u/Behanort]

*everyone except citizens of Alubarna, Water 7, Fishman Island, Zou, Wano, and probably Elbaf (aka all countries with ties to Joyboy or have the Sun in their flag)

[u/tryingmydarnest → u/shartley123]

And of course, as Doffy suggested, the Red Line

[u/pedrao157 → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

God I'm so excited lol

It's cool to see that even some of the Tenryuubito are ignorant about the Void Century

[u/Savac0 → u/pedrao157]

Let's be honest here. Most of them probably know nearly nothing by design.

[u/Known_Bed_8000 → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

This chapter was overall incredible, and the spread of the Mother Flame looked amazing. I think that Joy Boy is the one character with an eyepatch, for sure. I'm really excited for what's coming next.

[u/nckcbll]

There was a comment I read that Vegapunk's den den mushi is hidden away in the giant robot. Which could make sense since Vegapunk was introduced with the giant robot, and he could've been hiding the den den mushi at that moment? There was also a panel in this chapter emphasizing its indestructability.

[u/TheBiolizard → u/nckcbll]

He was phased half into it, almost as if he was in the process of putting something inside it.

[u/ch3333r → u/TheBiolizard]

considering that the whole broadcast was recorded just recently and the robot is very sturdy - 100% this

[u/csbo_y]

so are we finally going to learn about the void century?

[u/Kirosh2 → u/csbo_y]

Just a small part.

The full details, and everything erased will be for when the strawhat arrive to Laugh Tale.

[u/PenisIsAVirtue → u/Kirosh2]

Roger laughed because the one piece is literally 1 piece of treasure, the only knicknack Joy Boy managed to scrounged up in his pirating because he is like Luffy.

[u/Sir_E_L_Bawks → u/PenisIsAVirtue]

I'm commenting so I can come back and congratulate you when this turns out to be true.

[u/Justind123 → u/Kirosh2]

Seems like this chapter also revealed that JoyBoy as we know him wasn't the same person as the Sun God Nika from Giant folklore? I don't think we knew that for certain until now since the giants have such long lifespans.

[u/KNZFive → u/Justind123]

So now the lineage goes Sun God Nika -> Joy Boy -> Luffy as beings/people who had the Gum Gum Fruit power.

Maybe Nika is just folklore but Joy Boy somehow inherited his powers from a “fictional” being, which connects to Vegapunk saying that Devil Fruit powers come from things that people dream up.

[u/mehmeh5 → u/KNZFive]

I mean in general mythical zoans are from mythical creatures who may or may not exist. As far as we know there are no actual phoenixes or makamis in the OP world. Nika is no different

[u/Wachitanga → u/Justind123]

Confirmed more than revealed.

It was a common headcanon that Joyboy had been the last user to awaken the Gomu Gomu before Luffy, which the Gorosei confirmed that happened during the void century.

The Sun God Nika itself was just the myth that gave birth to said fruit, as Vegapunk explained.

[u/FakeGeek73 → u/csbo_y]

I believe it’ll be kinda like Oden flashback, silhouettes and some context here and there at the beginning, and then the full flashback. Keep in mind vegapunk did say he doesn’t know everything.

[u/Echleon → u/csbo_y]

I bet we’ll learn the name of the Ancient Kingdom by the end of this arc, some info about Joyboy’s crew in Elbaf, and then the big lore drop in Laugh Tale.

[u/OtakuSenpaii17]

The strongest "..." in history vs. . the strongest "..." of today.

Their battle will be legendary.

[u/jwinter01 → u/OtakuSenpaii17]

If we ever get a scene of Dragon and Akainu interacting, it'll be something else.

Dragon: "..."

Akainu: "..."

Dragon: "!?"

Akainu: "!!"

Dragon: "Sakazuki..."

Akainu: "Dragon..."

[u/kaosctrl510 → u/jwinter01]

If we talk, we’re finished!

[u/bolderdust → u/jwinter01]

Looks romantic

[u/pawpawjr]

My favorite panel of this chapter is seeing the Elder responsible for science just smacking the fusion reactor with his club.

[u/AidenI0I]

We got to a fucking chouchou reaction panel but Smoker has been off the radar for like 200 chapters what is Oda doing with my beloved smoker

[u/tayroarsmash → u/AidenI0I]

He’s trying to quit smoking but the withdrawal is making him unbearable.

[u/MikeyNgTh]

We get a reaction from Chouchou, a puppy from like 2 decades and 1100 chapters ago I- we are truly hitting that endgame huh😭

[u/Xark96 → u/MikeyNgTh]

Nothing could have prepared me for that panel

[u/gollumsaltgoodfellas → u/MikeyNgTh]

I’m giddy seeing long ring long land again too! Not as old as Chouchou but maybe the most overlooked island we’ve visited

[u/owsupaaaaaaa]

Alternate ending: The Elders tell Luffy that Vegapunk will reveal the One Piece. Luffy destroys the island to cut the broadcast.

[u/Known_Bed_8000]

Akainu: ..... .....  Paulie: ...!? ......  Imu: ...

[u/Leeiteee → u/Known_Bed_8000]

Dragon's influence is spreading

[u/laxnut90 → u/Leeiteee]

He's still facing East

[u/terojhyaldhoka]

Even Magellan is like "On god bro, you got a point, I am not paid enough for this shit" .

[u/JustChangeMDefaults → u/terojhyaldhoka]

Does he just sit there and chat with inmates? Pretty hilarious if true. Doffy is a hell of a choice too lol

[u/terojhyaldhoka → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, the way Doffy talks, every other inmate probably knows a lot more about Marejois than us. XD.

[u/Arkayjiya]

So with this chapter we finally have clarification on the whole "drowning world" thing and funnily enough it's Doffy that makes it clearer for us, not Vegapunk.

Doffy basically gave us a countdown for the destruction of most of the world: It's 5 meters or in other words, 5 uses of the weapon. We can expect to see it used 4 more times then, at least.

[u/guitarburst05]

So that's a panel of a world noble who is asking about what the void century is?

So even the celestial dragons are possibly in the dark about the history? Is it literally JUST the Elder Planets and Imu to really know?

[u/smcadam → u/guitarburst05]

Yeah that's a weird disconnect. The other World Nobles were mainly demanding that he be shut up, either because they know something, know it's bad for them, or are just being their usual asshole selves.

But again, like with Mjosgard, we see that the Nobles aren't a single monolithic group, there's enough brain cells for a shard of curiosity and humanity in some of them.

[u/TheNorseCrow → u/smcadam]

Imagine you lived on an isolated island that teaches it's own, twisted, version of history but leaves out anything that doesn't interest them.

You'd step out into the world and be incredibly confused hearing about World War 2 and that was 78 years ago, not 800.

So it really isn't a stretch for the world nobles to not know that the void century even exists.

[u/aes2806 → u/guitarburst05]

That honestly makes sense to me. The Gorosei must know how dimwitted people like Charloss are, they should never hand down knowledge THIS important to every generation of world nobles.

[u/MarioToast]

So we have a dude name Hamburg and a dude named Ham Burger, and neither of them look as much like a hamburger as this one random Marine dude on the first page.

[u/guitarburst05 → u/MarioToast]

Oh yeah I think he was in the lore drop chapter when they gave all the historic pirate bounties, like Roger's.

[u/ZeroTasking → u/[deleted]]

I imagine a majority just didn't pay attention in celestial dragons school

[u/inaripotpi → u/[deleted]]

Maybe just that girl since she’s a younger generation of CD

[u/dmfuller]

Saul hitting that “Dershishishi” as the world learns Ohara’s knowledge gives me CHILLS

[u/StrangerAtaru]

Insane chapter. All the cameos, all those characters; and Luffy's still having problems with Warucury even with Gear 5. Meanwhile, I fear for poor Edison...poor guy really should survive this arc but I do wonder what will occur once the Gorosei have the Mother Flame.

[u/Thomaerys → u/StrangerAtaru]

Yeah it seems all the males Vegapunk have died/are dying meanwhile the female Vegapunk are all fine for now.

[u/HulklingsBoyfriend → u/Thomaerys]

Unless York is a giga triple agent playing extreme long con against the World Government, I hope that bitch gets fucking thrown into the sun or gets Akainu'd.

[u/Jberz21]

Chopper tanking Saturn's multiple rage-filled, poison-clad, haki-boosted spider limbs with nothing but fluff is actually so impressive.

[u/Worthyness → u/Jberz21]

Chopper's bounty about to go up to 1000 out of sheer pettiness from Jay Garcia.

[u/Roronoa_Zaraki]

The transmitter is inside the giant robot; that's what Vegapunk was doing when we first met him, stuck inside it. Perhaps he knew the Nikka Nikka no mi would activate it, making it hard to destroy the transmitter.

[u/Zabdiel]

holy shit we're actually getting a lore dump without an insane cliffhanger.. its actually happening

[u/alanalan426 → u/Zabdiel]

bold of you to assume the transmission won't get taken out next chapter

[u/laxnut90 → u/alanalan426]

The Ancient Kingdom is named...

[u/DavidFromDeutschland]

Joyboy first Gum Gum fruit user (or maybe he was that way) confirmed

Joyboy WAS a pirate confirmed.

Vegapunk is now Tell D. Lore

[u/grc086 → u/DavidFromDeutschland]

Such amazing character Tell D. Lore , Unfortunately It is accompanied by Takin D. Break

[u/wannabetrapstar888 → u/grc086]

to accomodate Min D Blown from this current chapter

[u/Gehweiher]

My gut is telling me that next chapter might be the end of the broadcast and I think it's gonna happen in one of two ways:
- Option 1 (please don't do this Oda): The broadcast gets cut right before Vegapunk reveals something HUGE like the meaning of the D or the name of the Ancient Kingdom and we're gonna collectively lose our minds
- Option 2: Oda goes full ballistic mode and reveals multiple HUGE things at once and we're gonna collectively lose our minds

Either way, minds will be lost

[u/CrewOrdinary8872 → u/Gehweiher]

I can see him revealing the name of the Ancient Kingdom as that's what Clover was going to say right before he got shot.

The Will of D. I don't really see, though. That's one of the big Laugh Tale reveals.

[u/FrozoneN → u/Gehweiher]

100% broadcast will end before Vegapunk says the juiciest part of the reveal. C‘Mon you acting like we don’t know Go D. A

[u/Gehweiher → u/FrozoneN]

As much as I want to deny it, I fear you're right...

[u/Kirosh2]

Before leaving, I'm sure that Luffy will somehow find a way to land a good effective punch on the Gorosei.

[u/Justind123 → u/Kirosh2]

Maybe he'll grab Ju Peter and slam him into another one of the Gorosei and actually deal some damage

[u/GustavoAlex7789 → u/Justind123]

I'll beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker

[u/asianant → u/Kirosh2]

TFS Piccolo: I figure it out, Luffy just has to try hit him harder for the punch to work

[u/dbaliki918 → u/asianant]

"So I'm gonna take a page out of Kakarot's book. I'm gonna hit you REALLY HARD."

[u/RickSore]

Robin: "fucking spoiler"

[u/babyfaceghoul]

Everyone will be relocated to the red-line

[u/OgOnetee → u/babyfaceghoul]

The folks at impel down are being compelled up.

[u/OzyOzbourne]

Is Jay Garcia using his cane as a club? That some serious "don't mess with your elders" energy right there.

[u/PlsGiveSSR]

“My punches aren’t working” “What if I punch him with a bigger fist?” I love Luffy’s mindset

[u/laxnut90 → u/PlsGiveSSR]

What if we hit him really hard?

Love the Goku logic.

[u/TheBiolizard → u/laxnut90]

To be fair that has more or less worked most of the time lol

[u/adham_hefni]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how strong our 1,000 Beri Straw Hat's ship doctor Tony Tony Chopper's Guard Point is, Taking three hits from a Gorosei like they are nothing.

[u/ShellyT98]

God I wasn't this scared about reading a manga since the second to last arc of AoT.

Because I know that the transmission is gonna be stopped on the best part, I just don't know when. And I'm dreading it.

Amazing chapter

[u/wisepainting-]

The transmission is not gonna end until he says the name of the ancient kingdom. THEN it will truly be a victory for Ohara

[u/Lightecojak]

The spoilers had me confused about Vegapunk’s first sin, but it makes more sense in context.

By trying to create an unlimited power source with the Mother Flame, his Mother Flame was then converted by the World Government into a weapon of mass destruction that could destroy the world and Vegapunk blames himself for everything it will destroy.

[u/Transmatrix → u/Lightecojak]

I still like the idea that he produced the mother flame based on ancient tech so it is actually one of the ancient weapons being powered by the Mother Flame.

[u/Justind123]

I can't be the only one who sees the marine whose face is shaped like a hamburger.....

[u/Kirosh2 → u/Justind123]

Why do you think the new Navy HQ is like a McDonald?

[u/noquo89]

We've seen nearly every face around the world learning about this revolutionary message, except for one very important one: the Revolutionaries themselves. I believe they'll be the last faces we see at the end of the broadcast, as we learn they were the ones hosting the transponder snail this whole time, just as many have predicted. That phone call between Dragon and Shaka was about sending this transmission for them to host, and the Deadman's switch merely activated the transponder snail to start up the one the Revolutionary's have.

[u/Critical_Ask_5493]

We could always go somewhere

Higher Up

Lol man I love that dude. He was such a piece of shit in Dressrosa and I hated him. I think I cam in muh pants when Luffy Rhino Schneider'd his ass in the face. But dude... He's become so much more intriguing since he got to Impel Down. I'm so glad he's showing back up, even if it remains in this capacity. He's just so fuckin cheeky lol

[u/charredchord → u/Critical_Ask_5493]

Doffy's always been more interesting as an onlooker who says cryptic bullshit.

[u/ostriike]

Calling it now, Kizaru has the broadcast snail. There is a consistent gag with him getting confused with transponder snails, It would be somewhat fitting if he had it.

[u/BookkeeperTop → u/ostriike]

That would be the most amazing form of betrayal ever, either intentionally or unintentionally knowing he has the transponder snail and the Gorosei wouldn’t think it’s on him.

I have a feeling he will have no choice but to align himself with Luffy after this.

[u/Coronis- → u/ostriike]

I’d love that.

[u/Either_Revolution_91 → u/ostriike]

goddamn this entire comment section is absolutely cooking

[u/opkpopfanboyv3]

Mother Flame's prolly extracted from the Lunarians

[u/trogdorkiller → u/opkpopfanboyv3]

Am I crazy for thinking it looks like Luffy's hair a bit?

[u/LaloEACB]

A&Mu A(to)mu

Vegapunk invented nuclear power.

[u/SharkTrotteville]

As Vegapunk tells how the world would sink, I love how Oda's transition between place

From safe place of mockery (Mock Town) To the riskiest place to submerge/sink ( Water 7) To already submerge (Impel Down) To the country submerge way under the ocean (Fishman Island)

[u/wisepainting-]

Headcanon: he was called joyboy but his name was Binks. Since he was the original pirate, he had an eyepatch

[u/BBQChipCookie2 → u/wisepainting-]

I’d buy that for a dollar

[u/adnaphsaka → u/wisepainting-]

In Japanese, Vegapunk straight-up says "His name was Joyboy" (kare no na wa joiboi).

I partial towards another theory on Binks that I heard from Super Kamiki Kande (a Japanese YouTuber): What if "Binks" was not the name of a person but the name of the "Ancient Kingdom".

"Bink's Brew" refers to alchohol made in the their Kingdom. Pirates sing "Bink's brew" because the first pirate (Joyboy), who was from that kingdom, sand that song. And the reason why the Government doesn't want people to learn the name of the Kingdom is because it will give the pirates legitimacy.

[u/CummyWummiez]

Something that seems completely intentional is in Enel’s cover story when he’s looking at a mural, in the top left you can actually see the mother flame

https://imgur.com/a/Ybl58Hm I mean cmon….

[u/Euromatic → u/CummyWummiez]

That cover story is the absolute GOAT. So much can and will be conected to it as we learn new info. Oda has really dropped it all then but is slowly feeding us troughout the story so we can finally understand

[u/winddagger7 → u/CummyWummiez]

I'd also like to reiterate something I saw once a while ago.

What else is on that mural?

A ship.

Sea creatures.

And the Mother Flame has 16 spots. And there were 16 lasers from the object that destroyed Lulusia.

That mural depicts Pluton, Poseidon, and possibly Uranus.

[u/AlarmsForDays → u/winddagger7]

a ship to beat all ships a weapon to create more ocean a voice to control the monsters of the sea the ancient weapons are seriously authoritarian when combined together 

[u/Transmatrix]

Oda's comment about three of his editors (two current, one former) just getting married makes me wonder if Golden Week is a popular time to get married.

[u/Skyle_Nexo]

This has already been said a million times already but man is Egghead shaping up to be one of the best arcs in One Piece.

And in regards to the lore and history of the world, this has become one of the most important arcs. It's still unreal to me that questions the community has had for so many years, that felt like the answers were so far away, are now finally being answered (to an extent) after so so many years.

[u/FarInevitable4096 → u/Skyle_Nexo]

We met vegapunk, we seen what happened to the books at ohara, kizura and the gorosie showed up, cp0 pulled up, the giants pulled up, huge lore dump, the overall cool technology of vegapunk, the robot, and hopefully atleast one of the vegapunks leave with the strawhats

[u/GriffinFlash]

Vegapunk: Okay, to learn even more about the history of Joy Boy, I have to tell you about the One Piece.

\Luffy teams up with the Elders to stop the broadcast*

[u/The_Real_Baws]

I fucking love One Piece.

[u/EduardoMBR]

Words can not describe what I've felt reading this chapter, nor the sadness reading: Break next week.

Was the first pirate age erased from history?

[u/WWECreativegenius → u/EduardoMBR]

That would make even more sense now as we know that Gol D. Roger restarted the great pirate age AFTER returning from laugh tale.

[u/Laughing__Man]

Joy Boy is a person and he was the 1st pirate. What made him set out to sea? I think this is telling us that Roger's and Luffy's dream is the same dream as Joy Boy.
Nika was a god and not a real person; DF are like dreams/wishes/desires; People dreamed of the power of Nika.
The Mother Flame was referenced as a "atom" and nuclear power
The Iron Giant would use the Mother Flame as a power source, but Vegapunk hasn't figured it out yet
The Iron Giant powers up when Luffy goes into G5; so I think this is linking together Nika and Mother Flame
The Mother Flame could have been the source of all Devil Fruits; DF 1st appeared in the OP world about 800ish years ago.
I think Nika and the Mother Flame are the same source.

[u/asianant]

Doflamingo to Magellan: Can we get much higher?

[u/laujp]

I think Vegapunk hid the den den mushi inside the iron giant.

Otherwise I can’t see how this robot will be relevant since so far it did nothing since it woke up

[u/Anxious-Ostrich-36]

We could always go somewhere high up

This line by Doffy sounds so ominous. He knows a lot due to him being a CD.

This has definitely happend before. Have the people of one piece world going higher and higher up due to floods throughout the history? Does that mean the islands in One piece world are actually the peaks of huge mountains? Kinda like in Wind waker.

So many questions and a lot of possible answers. Oda really Cooked this chapter.

[u/Stormblade5]

The snail has to be in the robot. That’s where we first found Vegapunk and it is indestructible so far.

[u/Chaaos34]

If joy boy has an eye patch I’ll lose my mind

[u/Behanort]

Joyoby was from a sci fi country and the first pirate... theres multiple directions oda could take him from here, some of them being

1. Joyboy was both a king and a pirate

2. joyboy was closer to a revolutionary then a current op times pirate, and then his homeland got nuked via association

3. joyboy was a former privileged noble of that kingdom who became a savior of the oppresed

and those are just some of the angles oda could tackle him from... god i love this story

[u/Echleon → u/Behanort]

I’m almost certain Joyboy won’t be any kind of monarch. I expect him and Luffy to be pretty similar and it’s not something Luffy would do.

[u/metalgear_ocelot → u/Behanort]

Also, Oda has mentioned before that he's waiting to give a special pirate an eyepatch. This could be Joyboy, the first pirate.

Edit: old comment on the topic, quoting Oda: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/dOikH8zD7d

[u/YeahDudeBrah]

End of the chapter feels a lot like how Oda likes to start his flashbacks.

[u/PoorLittleGoat]

Joyboy is definitely the character Oda saved the eyepatch for, being the original pirate and all.

[u/Rezok888]

Doflamingo's words basically confirm the fact that CDs settled on Marijoe to prevent themselves from dying when the flood occurs

[u/Remarkable-Dig-1241]

Decades of worldbuilding just to make a "let's cut to different locations and see their reaction" panel AND WE KNOW EVERY SINGLE PLACE AND PERSON AND THEIR WHOLE ASS STORY. Man it pays off to be loyal, I'm so glad this man gets to cook! I think we can safely say that Egghead has been extremely good even by one piece standards.

[u/sackle]

Nobody is ready for the Enel and Doffy link up. It’s coming mark my words

[u/kekkonen222]

Damn you Edison. You are way too cool.

[u/ngsm420]

Take a moment to think about everyone who assumed Egghead was gonna be just a transition arc between Wano and Elbaf. Now we're even getting Joy Boy's story, amazing arc so far.

[u/[deleted]]

Shalria's line is extremely interesting because the immediate vibe I got from it was that CDs don't know about the "void century" because that's the name commoners have given to a period of history that is forbidden to THEM specifically.

Listen to Doflamingo right before this. He knows exactly how much flooding will be enough to spell the end of the world AND what the solution is (the high place is obviously the red line). He is a former dragon himself as we know.

These two panels together suggest that the CDs actually all just know what happened 800 years ago. That's why they're all mad that Vegapunk is spilling the beans

[u/WanttoSleepForever]

Did Luffy forget he can hit things without actually touching them? That was one of the major things he learned in Wano...

[u/Likes-Your-Username]

My favorite panel: The weaker strawhats all fighting together to defend Robin from Saturn. It really goes to show how much more powerful they've gotten that they're all able to deal with someone as powerful as Saturn

[u/adham_hefni]

The DERESHI SHI SHI is back.

[u/ThisIsYourFriendAron]

The OG Davy Back fight is gonna end up being Joy boy just trying to get a crew member named Davy back from somewhere.

[u/Camoxide2]

Vegapunk put the snail in the robot when he got half stuck in it, just before he met Luffy.

[u/DragoQCF]

Didn’t expect mother flame to, you know, be an actual flame

[u/BoxFit8908]

Akainu's journey might end with him using lava to create new land for people, similar to ocean volcanoes. Aoikiji might do the same for winter islands.

[u/M-E-R-L-I-N-I → u/BoxFit8908]

And Greenbull is plants. This actually makes so much sense it's crazy.

[u/dienomighte]

So we finally have confirmation that Joyboy isn't the original Nika, right? It sounds like the Elbaf legends predate JoyBoy

[u/inaripotpi → u/dienomighte]

Isn’t it just as obvious as before? Joy Boy lived ~800 years ago. Nika is a deity/legend in Elbaf, and 800 years ago would only be like 2-3 generations for them.

[u/IssacX13]

"The world is sinking!" Fishmen be like: "Oh no! Anyways."

[u/HotStudio3258]

Joyboy is the original Pirate. That's fucking cool

[u/zoro_03]

You know we are really missing reaction from Few of Top People Like Buggy, Shanks and BlackBeard !

We need Emperors reaction to this !

[u/Sklydes]

How crazy is it though that Doflamingo and Magellan are just chilling together watching tv

[u/SeaofBloodRedRoses]

SAUL!!!

[u/jonathanbr7]

Chopper is an absolute goat for tanking those jabs from Saturn

[u/tiki-baha29]

It feels like its been a long time since the last chapter...and Oda has not disappointed.

• Akainu's face always reminds me of a young parent who's pissed they have to stay home while all their friends are out having fun because they had the kid too early.
• Damn Oda is showing us EVERYBODY, hell yea.
• Ma boi Doffy, always a pleasure to see him and love him seemingly ALWAYS knowing more than he's letting on.
• Smoothie and Mont-D'or? Where the hell have they been?
• Chopper/Brook/Usopp/Nami defending Robin against a freaking Gorosei is so......amazing.
• So many questions about the Mother Flame. Fire in water?
• Here me out here: Zunisha, Iron Giant, maybe they were part of Joy Boy's crew?
• Seems pretty clear most Celestials dont even know about the Void Century, which makes sense.
• So Joy Boy and Nika were not the same person but had similar powers...?

I dont even konw what to say, Oda cooked so hard in this chapter. Even Chouchou made an appearance turning this into a 50 out of 10 chapter. Oda break next week though.

[u/zoro_03]

Doffy Casually suggesting to move to Red Line

[u/MichKirahh]

Ok people: minds be prepared to be blown: the mother flame looks exactly like one of the drawings in enel's short story and visit to the moon https://ibb.co/dtSqk79 https://ibb.co/fqHZZV0

[u/TheBazry]

OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING

EVERYBODY STAY CALM

what a chapter man

[u/cpustejovsky]

Kuma, Vegapunk, Ohara... they're all getting the last laugh in the face of the World Government that saw them as dangerous animals to be disposes of.

[u/kengdi]

The entire world: “A stretchy rubber man named joyboy that was a pirate… wait a minute don’t we have a pirate like that today?”

[u/Coinkidinks]

vegapunks characterization is so good. the consequences of having a pure dream. this arc keeps its insanely high writing quality

[u/TheMaskedDeuce]

..and so, as Vegapunk breathed his last, he abruptly ended the golden age of piracy, and started the golden age of Science. “I left all my research in that place,” he proclaimed to the world.

[u/AJWinky]

So what are the odds that Luffy will be too busy trying in vain to hurt the Gorosei and won't pay attention to a word of the broadcast? I kind of love the idea that he will somehow manage to remain completely oblivious to the concept of both Joyboy and Nika for the entire series.

Also does anyone else get a bad feeling that with the Gorosei going into "KILL EVERYTHING' mode right now that we might get an unexpected major death before the end of this arc? The giants are carrying massive death flags rn.

[u/shreyas16062002]

From chapter 472

[u/LightningBuds]

We should all be very careful of TCB's phrasing in Vegapunk's latest sentence.

The original sentence この海で初めて海賊と呼ばれた男 just means "The first man to be called a pirate on these seas". There's nothing about being the first to go to the sea. Once again, everyone should wait for the official translation before going wild with theories.

[u/MilkySkates]

My guy from Long Ring Long Land coming back for a panel, Oda put that man on stilts ready for the rising sea level all those years ago.

[u/ElleTheHarper]

They gave Chouchou a statute and a straw hat! It's such a tiny microcosm of this entire story. We're at chapter 1114 but here's a reference to chapter 12 when Luffy liberated a dog's treasure and saved a town from a tyrannical overlord. And then left the symbolism of the straw hat behind him!

It's such a tiny but beautiful reference to everything this story has been. As a lover of fantasy I don't know of another epic-length series where the main character and main theme has been so ridiculously consistent.

[u/musical_dc]

With how Oda is setting up the endgame and teasing more bits of the void century lore it’s becoming more evident to me that the story of Joyboy and his crew will be, more or less, the same story and experiences the Strawhats are going through, or at least very similar. With the star of each story being a goofy, fun, elastic stretchy guy!

That being said, I believe Joyboy is 100% the person with the eyepatch. Remember in Chapter 1, nearly page 1, we first meet Luffy with him proclaiming he’s tough enough to be a pirate and take to the seas with Shanks crew. To prove so, he attempts to stab his eye! This gives me no doubt, with the numerous amount of parallels in this series, that the introduction of Joyboy during the void century flashback will be him proclaiming he tough enough to take to the seas by stabbing his eye, successfully ;)

[u/KaktusSBK]

doflamingo mentioned !!!!!

[u/agentdoubleohio → u/KaktusSBK]

Pretty nice of Magellan to bring a den den mushi so they can listen together.

[u/kirbydx]

Now they have to build a new prison: IMPEL UP
