Saturn effectively gave the daughter of a Revolutionary Army leader (or I guess two of them) a Devil Fruit which ended up turning her into a clone of their greatest enemy. I don't care how senior you are. That's a mistake that gets people fired.

And he had the audacity to call it a bad fruit, even though it's being used to completely solo Vice Admirals. And giant machines, who can apparently age now? Too bad that was only found out after the Iron Giant submerged...

Saturn is going to have to have a meeting with HR soon to discuss his "performance".

u/No_Share6895 Jun 20 '24

The question is, will HR be imu or will it (hopefully) be some little old lady imu hired that just chews saturn tf out

u/laxnut90 Jun 20 '24

HR is just Tsuru lecturing them all.

u/No_Share6895 Jun 20 '24

oh those poor bastards

If it's Imu then HR might as well stand for historical revision cuz no way Saturn is getting out of their without being erased from the public record.

What would you say you do here?

Saturn: "I give powerful fruits to our enemies, then set up scenarios for them to reach their maximum potential, i even go out of my way to explain to them how their powers work just to be sure they are not operating blind, oh and i wack computers with my cane!"

I think it makes sense for him to say the fruit is useless, because it would be useless to him. Imagine if such a miserable old man like him had that fruit. Do you think he allows himself to imagine anything different than what he already is? Do you think he imagines things as being better?

Saturn is a myopic, self-sentered fool who doesn't understand that not everyone is as much of a bastard as he is.

Not really a theory but i hope he at least gets oneshoted by imu when the arc ends and their fuckups become clear.

Good prediction mate.

The weaponized beasts are not fully machines though, more like cyborgs. and apparently the "biological" part of them is enough to be brought back to baby form. What the giant robot truly is, we don't know as of yet. He seems to be conscious though...

In a sense, her having complete control over the pacifistas is also his fault. Yeah, Vegapunk came up with the idea but it was Saturn who decided that they needed to be used for government purposes

He so getting “fired” after this arc

This just gave me the idea that Bonney might join the Revolutionary Army, following in her parent's footsteps.

u/SuperIdiot360 Jun 20 '24

This has been my theory. She joins in her parents’ footsteps and rolls up with an army of loyal pacifista.

Suddenly Dragon’s fight looks a lot more winnable. Especially since recruitment is probably going to skyrocket from Vegapunk’s message.

The Sea Beat Weapons are Cyborgs, not simply machines.

Tbf, the vice admiral part isn't that impressive

Apart from the goat momonga and now Doll I guess those mfers are so useless.

The gap between vide admiral is so incredibly gigantic, it's crazy, tho I guess momousaga and chaton are supposed to be in there

u/VeryOGNameRB123 Sep 09 '24

Lol yeah. One shotted now

u/FlightoftheConcorder Sep 10 '24

Imu - You're fired. Literally.

u/leolegendario Jun 20 '24

Imu won't be so forgiving towards Saturn when they return to Mary Geoise.

u/rms141 Jun 21 '24

a Devil Fruit which ended up turning her into a clone of their greatest enemy.

The fruit isn't doing it. Nika's influence is doing it. She couldn't maintain a Nika-ish future earlier because she can't become Nika. She can become free, though, because Nika's role is to give people freedom.

This is one of those foreshadowing things everyone says Oda is kinda-sorta good at.

Given that the Iron Giant climbed the Red Line, maybe it can swim? Or fly? I mean, how else did it get there in the first place?

Turns out Saturn is actually against Imu.
