After defeating Kaido the general consensus was that we're in the late game, but I think this chapter really is the starting point for that for us readers and also for the in-word characters. I couldn't have imagined a better introduction to this climax of the series as with the Egghead arc

Yeah, just like Sabaody set up one of if not the most worldwide influential arc so far, Egghead is the beginning of the saga that will end with someone finding the One Piece. Its so surreal to be finally here after so long, makes me all nostalgic.

For Luffy? Highly doubt it. It's easier to deal with a potential calamity immediately than run the risk of getting destroyed by it for a slim chance that things can work better. 800 years is enough time for the WG to precedent their position after being grossly undermined in the last 26 years by pirates (counting the time Roger was active until now).

u/Gil_Demoono Jul 18 '24
I've been hoping for a while now that Luffy's next poster isn't a wanted poster, but a warning issued by the world government to stay away at all costs. Interacting with the straw hats is punishable by death. At this point, they should be more afraid of people interacting and being influenced by Nika than the actual direct actions of Luffy himself. He has become a straight up cognitohazard. Having any bounty hunter or organization powerful enough to feasibly collect on that bounty be allowed to try runs a greater risk of those people becoming new Nika allies than anything else.
There is no bounty, there is no reward. The strawhats are dangerous and must be left to the military.

At the bottom of the final spread, there's two of each faction.
Two marines: Sakazuki & Koby.
Two revolutionaries: Dragon & Sabo.
Two of the World Government: Imu & Garling.
And then there's Kuzan, a pirate, and someone else -- potentially the man marked by flames. Could be a stretch, but maybe if it was intentional, that could give away that he's a pirate if nothing else.

I think its less that and more the most important players aside from their affiliation and more the specific group or title they have
Koby is sword
Sakazuki is the regular marines
Imu is the elders
Garling is the god knights
Dragon is the revolutionary army
But Sabu became something more than just a revolutionary, he is the flame emperor, he is technically on the same level of influence as Luffy before he defeated kaido
Kuzan seems to be doing his own thing ,even tho he is affiliated with black beard

What a way to finish off Vegapunk's speech and what a start into the final saga. With Bonney getting one final payback against Saturn using her Nika Stand and the Sunny being basically back in the ocean, I think it's safe to say we're off to Elbaph after next chapter.
It almost feels like we've entered the "Third Great Pirate Era" with Oda placing three distinct proclamations of the One Pieces existence at the beginning/end of certain sagas. All I can say I'm trembling in excitement for what's to come.

Not one year after time skip, probably around 6 months after time skip if we count the story for having started 22 years after Rogers death.

It doesn't even have to be a whole year.
Say Roger died on 1 January, 1500.

It feels like that final page is Oda saying "these are the endgame players in this story".
Akainu being there is unsurprising, but what's interesting to me is that Kuzan is being highlighted too as an important player - someone who is currently just serving as a subordinate to a Yonkou.
That solidifies I think (as if it wasn't already clear from the Garp scenes) that Kuzan is definitely playing some deeper game beyond just being a lackey.
It feels almost impossible to me that he isn't going to betray Teach at some critical moment and reveal that he's been working toward his own personal agenda

Damn, this feels like the curtains have officially opened for the third act. I just know when the Bonney scenes get animated it’s going to absolutely break me - it was just such an insanely good buildup for the payoff to defeat ( for now ) Saturn.
My one question is if they FINALLY did some real damage or if the temporary damage was just so overwhelming he couldn’t regenerate quickly enough to stay on their ship. AKA, did they finally get to his last health bar or did they just push him off and the damage is still ineffective.
Honestly, super excited again - Eggheads been astounding and I was already hype but this just got me even more hype - so nuts. Now, like everyone else, I’m really curious on who that shadowy figure is on the last panel clutching a sword. In my mind it’s the Man Marked By Flames with the last Poneglyphs but god knows.
Also, interesting call out to all the Yonkous - the fact that Shanks is also getting drunk like Rayleigh doesn’t feel celebratory, we know so little about Shanks but putting a boozy Rayleigh who knows the worlds secrets and boozy Shanks gives me the impression Shanks must know as much if not almost as much as Rayleigh and therefore they have similar reactions

I teared up when Bonney imagined Kuma and Ginny both alive and well with her as a baby. That never happened but it should have happened.

Maybe, or just Whitebeard talking about those races, with the Kingdom of Gods.
Which could imply that each races were involved with a god.

There it is. We took a while to get there. But here Oda clearly lays out the major parties for the End Game.
We're in the End Game now.
The Emperor's.
The Marines.
The Revolutionaries.
The False Gods.

So it is pretty clear that the last panel is Oda's way of showing us who the endgame players of finding the One Piece are.
There is a figure we don't know next to Imu, Dragon, and Akainu, any ideas as to who this person could be? They also seem to be drawing a sword. I wonder who this person is!!

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I thought it was interesting where Vegapunk was talking about the one piece falling into the hands of someone Joyboy wouldn't want, we see both Blackbeard and Shanks' ships.
Blackbeard's isn't surprising. But Shanks? That feels like an implication to me.

u/MadHerbalist Pirate Jul 18 '24
Vegapunk's message essentially made every main power in the world go behind the One Piece. Until this point only a handful of groups went after it for their own benefit.
Before Whitebeard's confirmation that Roger's message wasn't just a myth there were even less people believing it's existance to be real.
Now that Vegapunk revealed that he who claims the treasure first basically controls the future of the world, no matter who Joyboy wanted it to be, everyone just dropped whatever they were doing and is now going for it.
This is a great setup for the final war imo.

Assuming either this or the next 1-2 chapters are the end of this arc, I can confidently say that this is easily a top 3 arc. Oda absolutely killed it the entire way through and the fact that it never felt like too much of a slog is a massive improvement over Wano.
What an insanely strong start to the Final Saga.

u/Caleb1705 Scholars of Ohara Jul 20 '24
I think comparing the characters in the last spread from the middle out is the right way to go about it, rather than left-to-left, right-to-right etc. Luffy and Blackbeard have been juxtaposed forces for years; Shanks and Buggy are both the legacy Roger Pirates. Koby the Hero and Imu the shadow leader of the world are both the representative government forces with drastically opposing ideologies and moral compasses. Kuzan and Dragon represent the opposite spectrums of the revolutionary forces against the government. Sabo as the inheritor of Ace's will makes sense against Akainu. The only one that really has me stumped is Figarland and mystery sword guy because we know the least about either of them and we'll probably just have to wait for future installments (unless there's something from previous chapters I'm totally blanking on).

Oh damn... here we go! What a way to start the (probably) final arc!
Mihawk and Crocodile are slowly coming to the realization that Buggy's greatness actually eclipses even their own. They thought they were the masters, but fate won't allow the Jovial Jester to stand in the shadow of others.

I feel like the last panel basically confirms what everyone thought: that Kuzan is not truly loyal to Blackbeard and has his own motivations / plan in place. Oda made a point of calling him out separately on this panel despite being a titanic captain. He's going to make a move at some point and double cross Blackbeard. The only question is if he's still affiliated with the Marines or SWORD in some way, or is fully taking matters into his own hands and following his individual sense of justice (not sure if 'lazy' justice really fits anymore...).

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor Jul 18 '24
Such a beautiful climax chapter to this arc!
Oda simultaneously gives Bonney her big moment to punch Saturn as Kuma watches on, tying up their story on Egghead, while also tying the Egghead broadcast to the race for the One Piece that this Final Saga is all about from now on.
Luffy will get a lot of hype following this and then the news of his second successful escape from a buster call, this time with an Admiral and all 5 Gorosei!

- Kuma smiling (MY HEART!!!).
- Vegapunk going full galaxy brain: "Roger fucking knew and he started this shit."
- There is a day of reckoning and it's coming soon.
- LMAO Buggy. Crackpot theory: Buggy is gonna find One Piece first.
- LMFAO Mihawk. The "are you fucking kidding me?" face is priceless.
- Hunt for One Piece finally begins
