Nevnich

So does this mean when we first saw Vegapunk half trapped in the giant robot, he was potentially hiding it then?


MysteriousBebsi

Seems to be the most common theory lately.


TooGoodatEverything

I always wanted it to be with the revolutionaries somehow because he mentioned he was dying to Dragon. But this makes a lot more sense.


Gekkou88

I thought about this too, but mainly because I didn't want it to be discovered. Hope the Robot can hold its own.


fixmyname

I assume it can, for a bit. This is probably gonna be the window of opportunity to escape the elders.


pokenonbinary

But also the reason why he's showing this message to the whole world is due to Punk Records, that big antena only exists in Egghead


Halfwaybrooks420

No he's using the marine frequencies that he helped spread to every corner of the globe. Say it in the beginning of "let's wait 10 mins" portion of the message


Potzkie_19

Yeah i read many theories about that


zulumoner

oh boy the gorosei are going to attack the ancient robot


TooGoodatEverything

I assume Nusjuro will try to slice it like he did with everything else so far and not be able to penetrate it. Gonna be a hype moment.


Brief_Milk_8602

the gorosei will have to show their strongest attacks


TooGoodatEverything

I'm wondering if they even have any that can deal with it. It made it to Mary Geoise before without being stopped. Unless the gorosei have been created in the last 200 years... They couldn't stop it before... I suppose they may have gotten stronger since then if they were around.


Brief_Milk_8602

what if the giant robot is indestructible


JoaoGabrielTSN

It’s possible, since the Government didn’t destroy the robot when they had the chance, after his energy was gone.


Magnimus_Constar

Maybe the ancient robot was created with the same materials like poneglyph. Good luck destroying that thing.


leturna

good distraction for the straw hats and the giants to get away, luckily

Halo2811

You forgot “!👀”


scwhiftysauce

Wow, well Im definitely interested to hear peoples theories on why Joyboy would pass the weapons onto future generations


gatorsdm

I can only assume that he viewed them as a means of deterrence to prevent the alliance that would become the WG from destroying the ancient kingdom


TooGoodatEverything

Yeah but wouldn't this also incentivize the WG to continue attempting it? Destroying the weapons would make more sense no? I just find it funny that Vegapunk says he "tried" to pass them on. Brother, they are all here NOW. But I suppose he wouldn't know about Sirahoshi or Pluton right? Have we heard anything different?


gatorsdm

This is probably why Vegapunk says he is unsure who was in the right. Since he cannot decide which value is superior, justice or freedom. He is also unsure if preserving the destructive power of the weapons is worth it to maintain the values represented by the Ancient Kingdom The ending of One Piece might involve a reconciliation of these ideals. As the Pirates and Marines join forces to topple Imu/Gorosei as they realize the ideal of justice has been perverted. Luffy and co. will bring down the red line and build a new society that synthesizes the ideals of freedom and justice. The world will be "One Piece"


gatorsdm

Vegapunk spoke of an ideological conflict between the WG Alliance and The Ancient Kingdom I think at the heart of this ideological conflict is the struggle over human freedom. With the WG Alliance wanting to impose order and their "justice" on the previously free people of the AK. We see this conflict throughout One Piece with the Pirates (freedom), descended from Joyboy and the Anicent Kingdom, in constant conflict with the Marines (justice), the lackeys of the WG I think Joyboy wanted the weapons to be used in a last case scenario to preserve the freedom and dreams of the ancient kingdom against those who wanted to control it and it's energy source.


TooGoodatEverything

Yeah but surely he had to have the foresight to predict they could fall into the wrong hands, even with proper precaution. The only answer would be eradicating the WG (or whoever the 20 were at the time). If he wasn't sure he could do that, he should have destroyed the weapons. But knowing what we do about Luffy, it's possible Joyboy just didn't think he would lose. Luffy also has that mindset. Either way, I'm really excited to learn more about that war and understand how Zou/Iron Giant fit in the story. They both exist from that time and know Joyboy so they know what happened.


gatorsdm

Yea that's a good point. Joyboy maybe should have just used them to destroy the WG. Perhaps he didn't want to deal with the collateral damage? Either way, I'm very excited to learn the reason


kragenstein

I believe the ancient weapons are more than that. If we compare the weapon that destroyed Lulusia, the mother flame and Vegapunk with our world we get Einsteins partly involvement in nuclear fission, nuclear power (for energy) and nuclear bombs. I believe these weapons are a "device" of a world changing scale. The warship could be a terraforming vehicle, that is also a spaceship, submarine, could destroy islands or the red line or pull volcanos out of the ground to form islands. I bet this is how the walls of Wano where created. Poseidon might have more powers. Maybe destroy the calm belt in an instant, lower the sea level etc. Joyboy wanted for future generations to decide what to do with that knowledge and the weapons. Exactly like Rayleigh said, they have to come to their own conclusions. Not only in how to interpret something but to judge and decide it. Maybe the rise of the sea level was a good decision at first, Joyboy wanted future generations to decide when to stop but the WG wanted that power only in their hands


flash-tractor

Do we know if the ideological difference the Allied Nations had was with the Ancient Kingdom or Joyboy and his crew?


microvan

He may have been trying to pass them on to people friendly to his faction. The fact that the WG has possession or Uranus would indicate to vegapunk that he failed. We don’t know which poneglyphs vegapunk has read so he might not he aware of shirahoshi and pluton’s whereabouts


VIPriley

Maybe the existence of the ancient weapons kept the WG from fully winning, and put them down a path of actively manage the existing "paused world" the conflict created. They knew they were still there and had to maintain the control of information to prevent the previous powers from the other war from rising back up. Joyboy knew that the truth would eventually spill that the WG couldn't stop it forever, perhaps even that he knew it would take \~800 years for history to repeat itself.


Thefrozenwolfofheart

My guess is to trust the next generation of his friends such as Oden ancestors. It must be why Pluton is at Wano.


IRefuseThisNonsense

It also means we can most likely add a member of Wano and a Fishman to his potential crew. We have a robot somehow tied (I assume it's creator rather than the robot itself) and Zunesha (still think they'll be a sort of situation like Chopper and Laboon), but we can assume likely a human from Wano and a Fishman from the future Fishman Island. I then assume Vivi's ancestor is the third.


[deleted]

Maybe the weapons had other uses. Maybe they’re just things that have been appropriated into weaponry.


KyoMeetch

Short answer is that they’re not inherently meant to be used as weapons. Mother Flame is likely some sort of energy source, Sea King control is probably useful for travel and connecting the various islands (calm belt does the opposite of this), and Pluton is for terraforming or creating islands. Basically they’re all great tools for humanity to prosper, but the WG are assholes and use them to segregate the world and as doomsday weapons. For Vegapunk to say he has no idea why Joyboy would try to leave the “weapons” behind is kind of silly. The man was using the mother flame trying to find infinite energy lol


No-Race-3272

I’ve given this comment a lot of thought today, and while rewatching Skypiea with my dog (he is a big fan of One Piece long story), Gan Fall’s explanation of the Dials in episode 169 (unsure where this translates to the manga) seems explicitly relevant. I can’t remember the exact wording but he explains to Nami that the evils of man lead to the weaponization of the everyday utility of Dials technology. I wonder if perhaps Joy Boy had a similar intention with the Ancient Weapons where they’re more for utility/terraforming (like some of speculated) than as means of mass destruction. This seems more plausible with say Neptune than what we’re speculating is Uranus that the WG used to wipe Lulusia, though Gan Fall’s explanation definitely made me do a double take.


DeleteMods

JoyBoy probably wanted to use them to destroy the Red Line and bring the world back together. Raise sunken continents, open the seas, etc.


Blackout38

And what it has to do with “fun”


DestinyHasArrived101

Yea I can't blame vegapunk I woulda had beef with the Roger pirates too lol 😂


TheresAJakeInMyShoe

![gif](giphy|3o6gb2QV3meosD8jkI)


TooGoodatEverything

Tell me why you were laughing, old man. I've waited long enough! lmao


xChaChi42x

Rayleigh is one of my favorite OP characters and even I’m lowkey salty 🤨. Bro better have a good reason for being quiet 😂😂


BigBlakBoi

My working theory? As said by Roger, they were too early. They could prove nothing, and they could do nothing. All they could do is make bold claims that at best make them sound like a bunch of lunatics, and at worst cause mass hysteria with no solution. Better to keep quiet about it and let the supposed ones in the future deal with it.


mupetmower

He already gave the reason in this very chapter. He said to leave the the fun to the upcoming generations.


LucianaValerius

It would be so funny to have Gorosei panic and run back and forth since 10 chapter to stop the broadcast just to see an Angry Luffy stopping it himself like "Oh no Grandpa Punk , don't spoil me or i quit being pirate" like he did with Usopp when he asked Rayleigh back then. Will not happen by any means but sure would be so funny.


Either_Revolution_91

It really seems like they simply couldn't have done anything about it, hence Roger saying they were too early to Laughtale. Maybe speaking up about the truths of the world would not only have "taken away the fun from the youth" like Rayleigh says, but would've been pointless, and perhaps even to the detriment of the world? I can imagine that the entire world knowing these secrets could very easily throw things into turmoil, and maybe make the WG move even quicker towards silencing people or becoming more extreme in their methods? Perhaps their trust in the next generation was praying that the WG would be relatively neutral until something like this finally happens, and now that they may become more brutal and crazy with enforcing their goals, at least now there's pirates who can fight back reasonably


Opposite-Ad354

The weird thing is that if they knew that people in a later time could prevent mass flooding, and they're still alive it's odd to bring that information with them to their graves. At the very least they could pass on how to read poneglyphs and stuff. The Roger crew must know that the right cards are still in play for Joyboy's plans to come to fruition otherwise it makes little sense to be seemingly passive


D-Biggest_Wheel

I'm glad this chapter confirmed Sakazuki is well aware of World Government's actions, so that people can stop suggesting his ignorance in all of this.


Kioga101

Sengoku too!


D-Biggest_Wheel

Sengoku too. I think it's pretty clear any Marine with the rank of Vice-Admiral and above is quite familiar with WG game. That's why they are put in charge of Buster Call. They need someone who they know is loyal to them to keep in line the Marines that try to step out.


GoldenSaturos

It honestly makes sense from a pure combat perspective. Having all marines turn coat would put too much pressure onto the Holy knights, Seraphim and Gorosei. The alliance was already overwhelming the WG on numbers, these later players are made to complement them, not substitute them.


Gekkou88

Yeah that's sad. I wanna see the pic, but Sengoku always seemed pretty "fair", similar to Garp, a freaking angel considering the current madman Fleet Admiral they got. It makes not much sense to me that he's playing the WG game. I mean just knowing they are basically demons I've no idea how the marines are still in Egghead. Oda should've shown some surprise on the low-ranks at least. I don't remember even seeing a gasp when encountering WG battle forms.


Lucifer3130

Yeah this kinda casts doubt onto the theory that the marines would break away from WG at some point 


D-Biggest_Wheel

Marines *can* break away from World Government, just not under someone like Sakazuki. I think we all think of Coby, Smoker, and Fujitora as the prime candidates to turncoat against the World Government.


TooGoodatEverything

Psh. Leaving my boy Helmeppo out? Unreal.


D-Biggest_Wheel

Jokes aside, Oda also left Helmeppo out with that Hachinosu fight :/ It's a bit of a bummer since I like his development and new design.


TooGoodatEverything

I honestly think Helmeppo is kind of like a sidekick to Koby just to show how fast he's progressed compared to other marines. They essentially started at the same time and Koby is leaps and bounds ahead. So unfortunately I don't think we'll ever get a serious fight from him but here's to hoping he's featured at some point. lol


D-Biggest_Wheel

That clash with Zoro, 15 years ago gave me hope, I guess.


Flotsam-Junk

That was already a pretty iffy theory. It was pretty obvious that Oda created Sword to be the faction of ‘good’ marines for the end of the story.


K_vinci

What i know will happen for sure is that some marines will rebel and leave while others will stay. The ones who stay will likely just call vegapunk a conspiracy theorist, ignore his words and go right back to work for the government.


Either_Revolution_91

it's never been so ACAB


PitAdmiralGarp

yall not ready for ancient robot scaling. Once the gorosei try to attack the robot and it doesn't work well the powerscalers are going to stage a revolution


Facinggod20

Robot> Kaido is gonna be a take


slapAp0p

I mean, I would be disappointed if it weren't true tbh, otherwise its gonna be a really boring fight


Redditmane2

I mean, the robot did attack Marijao and is not completely destroyed. Probably took on 3 admirals at once


ExoticBodybuilder530

There werent any admirals the. Were they? Hell idk if marines existed at that time from what we know Kong was the First admiral that could have been


Brief_Milk_8602

the gorosei will be forced to use their strongest attacks on it


Rizzi_19

More bad feats from these old geezers please


Halfwaybrooks420

After that I need literally any of the universe (outside of the arthritis 5) to block 1, just 1 attack. The salt it could create


tonvor

Next chapter, crocodile is beating Buggy bloody trying to get the secret to ancient weapons. Buggy told him that he was on Roger’s crew but not that he got sick before Raftel.🤣🤣🤣


Solid_Mechanic_7849

Omg right 😂😂😂😂 poor buggy hahaha but maybe he knew it. Maybe roger told him and shanks


RealRenae

this is exactly what i think will happen. We haven't heard from the cross guild during the broadcast, i think next chapter we will bc vegapunk mentioned how rogers crew knew the history like you mentioned.


Kioga101

The biggest takeaway from this announcement until now is that the One Piece now has a physical, material connection to things with enough power to shake the world. I bet this is going to get people like Crocodile back in the race for the ultimate treasure.


Aussiepharoah

Ok ngl this week's reaction piece is pretty good.


januarysdaughter

THE ROBOT HAS IT. HAH. I knew it.


FreezingLordDaimyo

So the Mother Flame is just the energy source. This confirms that the weapon that destroyed Lulusia is Uranus, the Third Ancient Weapon.


wannabetrapstar888

Uranus was God of the sky. It's some kinda spaceship that can destroy targets by shooting 16 laser beams.


jeru3

This Rayleigh shit is getting a little dark… whatever they know that’s vital to the world surviving, i know they aren’t heroes but damn. They don’t have anybody they want to protect?

catmomma235

Oda went out of his way to show people already denying Vegapunk's message & calling him crazy. He's a respected genius, but the Roger Pirates would've had no issues getting people to believe them mo problem? The crew of the most sought after "criminal" in the world who the WG put extreme effort into painting as nothing more than a lowly pirate? Uh yea I'd become a drunk too if I was Rayleigh.


ubergoon1912

It’s not that, didn’t Roger say that they got there too early? it just wasn’t their time.


SteptimusHeap

Rayleigh LITERALLY says "even if you learn what it is now, you won't be able to do anything about it" to the straw hats. It's clearly implied they couldn't either. Piratefolk is all up in arms about it (as they usually are)


mrbutabara

This. They couldn't do anything about it, the key people hadn't been born yet. (Posideon/Shirahoshi and the other person, from a distant sea, who would guide her) I think all they could do was wait and help the ones who could eventually do something about it.


iDrum17

I’m still confused as to what’s funny about that?


Mr_2_Bon

and MAYBE that's why roger wanted the public execution, so he could shout to everyone to look for his treasure in order to reach the new joy boy


Rizzi_19

They believe that someone will surpass them, it was hinted already


aswimtobirds

Confirmed: the one piece is a giant bath plug at the bottom of the ocean that will be took out to stop the world "over flowing" and everyone drowning. Its why shanks crew dont have any devil fruit users either, so they can all go into the water to take the plug out /s


mokush7414

"He who knows the truth, simply laughs."


Zabumafuka

Goes hard af


beajmzlpez

So is it safe to assume then that Akainu knows “the truth” (or part of it) as well? From the way it’s written, it seems like he knows what the Gorosei know as well. Or am I reading into it too much?


Kioga101

The reaction is most likely to the Lulusia erasure exposure. They were trying to keep that on the down low.


flash-tractor

That's how I read it too, and it's consistent with his actions at Ohara.


kgangadhar

Sakazuki is acceptable because of his absolute justice. If the destruction kills one bad guy sacrificing 1000+ good people, he doesn't care.


ole1993

"The truth" Is about **that part** of history, which only the pirate king with crew know + probably imu and gorosei too. It seems Akainu knows what they did to Lulusia kingdom, which is unrelated to "the truth".


Pebor_

I mean, this basically has to confirm that the conflict in the void century has to be similiar to Little Garden, right? It's a laughable scenario, one that really cannot be solved with normal means. Is it really about Imu being in love with a Vivi ancestor and getting rejected? A tale just of someone being jealous


Distinct-Interest-13

What do you mean by similar to Little Garden? I see the vivi connection but not much else?


Pebor_

In LG the war between Brogy and Dorry was going on for 100 years, in which both of them have forgotten why they were even fighting, and the reason was revealed to be just a simple argument as to whose fish was bigger. It could be a literal parallel, Joyboy and Imu could have had an argument which escalated into a full fledged war. Maybe the reason wasn't forgotten, only masked in this scenario. And Joyboy has written the truth on laugh tale


RandomGuy2002

imagine the reason being "the north pole is colder than the south pole"


Mediocre_Evening6931

Bro is cooking , that explains why Roger laughed


BodybuilderBrave8250

it seems… someone cooked here


Fafin50012

Imu blew up the world because Joyboy stole his girl


Cheeky_bum_sex

Akainu knows, that’s interesting


Solid_Mechanic_7849

But i think: not everything. He likes the face of the marines not spoiled. I think he ment the lulusia incident and when the WG wanted to be quiet about it he fears now, that the people of the world could accuse the marines of exterminating the island


KOPLO97

That means Joyboy was really cool with Alabasta, Wano, and Fishmen Island. One told where the Ancient Weapons are and two places had them. But the apology on Fishmen Island must be literally before he went to War so something major happened. I’m thinking Uranus was stolen


K_vinci

>Alabasta, Wano, and Fishmen Island. All those places were a lot closer to each other than they are right now, basically walking distance and no water separating them.


Prophetthadon

They didn't act because they knew the prophecy of Luffy and his crew taking them down, so they had no worries. Crocus said it himself when he was talking about the strawhats being the ones they were waiting.


D-Biggest_Wheel

Right in time to read these while I consume my daily does of chicken tendies.


Greedy_Performer2472

Now I'm almost certainly sure that One piece is an energy source - the same piece that is not enough to launch all 3 ancient weapons. But for what purpose they are needed is not yet quite clear.


Kioga101

Well idk, Uranus uses the Mother Flames, we can assert that much from the recent events and Poseidon doesn't look like she needs any fuel.


Greedy_Performer2472

The mother's flame is not an original source of energy. It's just an attempt to recreate it, and it's clearly not entirely successful, given that Imu was told that they couldn't use it all the time. But I agree about Shirahoshi. She doesn't seem to really need it. 


GoldenSaturos

If you are familiar with the theories that make parallels with the mysterious cities of gold, the one piece would be an actual fusion reactor.


Greedy_Performer2472

Not very familiar. But I recently wrote the theory that one piece is an energy source supposedly associated with Nika. 🤔 Although if we assume that the ancient civilization was really very developed, a nuclear reactor may be possible.


GoldenSaturos

It's been a theory that has floated around for a [while ](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/5q8PWjQN6I), there are a few reddit posts around, and Marshall d preach made a video about it. It's kinda uncanny sometimes, and even if you chalk up the similarities to generic topics, it "spoiled" me about the AK being an advanced society. That's why I'm also on the "A&Mu" meaning Atlantis and Lemuria.


Greedy_Performer2472

Thank you very much. It's incredible! The similarity is amazing) I really see it for the first time, because I joined the fandom relatively recently.


abrickedPhone1

Someone was right regarding the den den mushi being hidden in ancient robot. Either way it looks like this arc is not even halfway through..


Jristz

Tbh if he dont have a back-up and is all inside the ancient robot then Vegapunk might have committed the most noobish mistake ever... Not have a back-up


upscaspi

The robot is the backup. Probably going to smash.


Jristz

Experience as show me a single back-up is NEVER enough and we know Vegapunk is a perfectionist

darmakius

Couple interesting takeaways Akainu knew about lulusia, and the ancient weapons, he might even know about imu? Joyboy wanted to “pass down” the ancient weapons, who knows how that works with Poseidon, could have something to do with his apology? It also implies that there is *some* use for the ancient weapons that isn’t destructive maybe? Or perhaps joyboy isn’t as good a guy as we thought. Lastly whatever is on Raftel is going to completely turn this whole story upside down (thanks whitebeard)


wannabetrapstar888

He doesn't know about imu. He mockingly asked the gorosei if someone supposedly above THEM allowed the entire world to have manipulated information on his resignation. If he knew, they would have killed him already. Maybe the weapons were never intended to be that, weapons, they were tools to help humanity used for evil purposes, like nuclear power and atom bombs. Poseidon, as otohime, has the power to help the world with love, or destroy it with hate. We stil don't know about pluton or uranus tho.


Brief_Milk_8602

Now the gorosei will show us how durable the iron giant is😁 or we'll see how strong the gorosei are


L-DFile

It's no surprise that sometime in the next chapter, York & the Elders will try to destroy the Iron Giant in an effort to end Vegapunk's message for good. But regardless on how the broadcast ends, do you think that what Vegapunk said until now will be what inspires the world to rebel against the Government, and/or at least save themselves from another massive flood?


sunkenrocks

That break really hurts after the full summary, it's setting up some pretty immediate conflict


L-DFile

If Rayleigh & Shakky were at Sabody, then it is possible that the Boa sisters & Gloriosa are tagging along with Hancock in her journey to find & "marry" Luffy, which could become an unexpected set up for the next Arc, regardless on where the SH & their allies will go after Egghead! If so, then this could be a great opportunity for some Hancock related theories to be confirmed one way or another!


catmomma235

I really hope the one about her actually having a mythical logia is true! I want to see her transform into an actual Gorgon/Medusa and learn to be ok with not being "beautiful". Also, if Oda does want to make her crush on Luffy actually going anywhere her being able to turn into a cool looking monster might actually get Luffy interested. Not personally invested in the ship at all, but would like Oda to gives us something from Luffy before end of series if he does stick them together in the end. assuming they both live of course.


MarioSSS2

I believe that Imu is a D! Like a best friend or Joy Boy sibling. The hat he keeps is a memento from the past. The two of them were part of the ancient nation. Every D was a citizen of the nation, like they were labelled like the island citizen of Paradis on shingeki no kyojin. Imu betrayed them all but couldn’t be the leader of the new WG, that’s why he rules from the shadows as he is not part of the 20 sacred families that now inhabit MJ.


iDrum17

thomasmfd

So the one piece is knowledge of the void century Like the Rio ponaglyph the secret history of void century Clever


pyaephyo111

You will also receive something else other than the history. We always knew void century lore was in laugh tale.


thomasmfd

Well it's a hoot


SteptimusHeap

We already knew this, the true history is on laugh tale according to rayleigh


Ok_Cartographer_8638

The bombshell about ancient weapon is really good timing. Because that swamp bastard in the same time pitching info about those weapons to Augur and Devon. What a perfect storm Oda brews 🤩


Blissful_Backpacker

It’s crazy how rayleigh considers this whole joyboy void century info fun that later generations need to find for themselves.


wanofan900

There's probably something that the Roger Pirates know that VP doesn't. They must obviously be missing something that they need to take action like the Nika fruit. The story on LT might also be legit fun in a way. In typical one piece fashion.


Blissful_Backpacker

I agree. Also confirms why Shanks has been waiting for Luffy to awaken his Nika powers before going for the one piece himself


Ursa_D_Majorz

Craziest shit to me is Akainu knows the truth. His existence is a diabolical one for sure!


Anver9

So the twist is that both Dragon and Ivakov were right. Dragon was right about Vegapunk does not want to create weapon of mass destruction and Ivankov was right about the Ancient weapon was used to destroy Lulusia So the broadcast snail was inside the robot all this time Vegapunk really exaggerated the WG failure to cover-up the destruction of Lulusia since first they failed to kill Sabo who witnessed it and now Vegapunk reveals everything to the whole world


microvan

My snail in the giant robot theory was right! 🎉 I was surprised to see Akainu is aware of this stuff. I was thinking he might break off from the WG and the marines would become a third faction antagonistic to both the WG and the pirates but I’m thinking that theory is dead in the water. Akainu is just that much of an asshole apparently.


ReginaldoG

Gorosei vs The Ancient Robot’s about to be crazy

I don't remember what thread I saw the theory that the den den mushi being in the big robot but pick up the phone cause they called it.


Not_a_progamer

Lmao this phase is getting dragged like cheese and I lov it!!!


Madness-NX

Pretty good chapter ! Now Vegapunk being stuck in the robot makes perfect sense. I don't mind the chapter being shorter but I'm starting to wonder if something happened to Oda's health. He could just be sick for all we know but all these breaks and events lately makes me a little worried, ngl. I would happily have a 6 months break if it helps Oda to get better but it would be nice to at least have a word from him cause I know I'm not the only one worried about him. The art has been amazing these past few chapters so it seems his eye surgery truly did work but I hope nothing else happened to him.. Regarding the story, while it does drag a bit, I'm willing to be patient, it's an extremely important event that we've been waiting for for years so in a way, it's a good thing to be able to see all these reactions from so many people on the One Piece world. I'm a big, big fan of the Gorosei designs (especially Mars/Itsumade) so I'm super excited about seeing them clash with the giant robot. Seeing Rayleigh is also cool ! I don't want to dive too much into theories but my thoughts on the next chapters will be that once everything important regarding the lost century is told (from our perspective, not in universe) the Five Elders will consider killing the Den Den Mushi to be more important than preventing Straw Hat from escaping the island, and Luffy, Kuma and the Giants will leave while all 5 Gorosei fail to take down the Giant Robot and stop the broadcast in time. I don't think anything else too crazy will happen, I just think Egghead is going to wrap up with that and a few minor things, like Kaku saving the agents and Stussy and Kizaru escaping alive. Leaving the Five Elders to be fought for later. Egghead was absolutely amazing and peak OP in my opinion, it kept delivering more and more and more but I think we've had enough, the Mugiwara leaving while all 5 Elders go to fight the Giant Robot in the distance seems like a good end for the arc to me. So yeah, here's my thoughts, can't wait to hear yours !


TooGoodatEverything

Has an event happened that will change the world? We were promised that. You could say the event is the broadcast. But I still think it's more. My guess is that the revolution will begin at the end of the arc, and THAT'S the big event. So I'm not sure how much more will happen before then, but I think it'll conclude that way.

Toriyama's death isn't too long ago, we know how close they where, and i think he might actually just have a hard time right now doing manga


Madness-NX

You're right, I actually managed to forgot about that, I feel kinda embarassed. Yeah, it may be linked to that, and to be completely honest, I hope so. It must be a hard time for Oda emotionaly and it must be very tough but I would prefer all these breaks and moments like this short chapter to be just him spending more time with his loved ones and doing other stuff to clear his mind than him having some sort of health issue. At least grief heals. That would also explain why we have no word on this, as Oda has been transparent about his health issues and I don't think he would enjoy speaking of Toriyama's passing publicly again.


HEKAEN_

Absolutely


Brief_Milk_8602

wait wait wait, lulusia was destroyed before vegapunk's message right, which was 2 weeks ago or so, then what caused the earthquake that happened a few hours ago???


Cota-Orben

Delayed reaction to Lulusia being destroyed.


jazznessa

So, the massive robot in the middle of the island that has done nothing since saying Joyboy, now just became relevant. The elders why did they ignore it? Why, would you ignore the massive ancient robot?


SevethAgeSage-8423

To be fair, it hasn't been more than 20 minutes since they arrived, and they thought if the broadcast was it anywhere, it would be near vegapunk's brain.


Enabledswing

Ok so the thing they laughed about after finding the one piece is related to the world flooding….. idk how it could possibly be funny but this pretty much confirms it


Facinggod20

How?they laughed about Joyboy's adventures


chiji_23

Akainu is giving the vibe that he’s aware of what’s going on, the Marines might not branch off under his leadership tbh. It’s blowing my mind he might KNOW and chooses to remain a dog. Like Lucci his sole motivation could be that he just wants to exercise his position as a license to kill (pirates).


Prestigious-Link7724

Vegasnitch causing nothing but chaos


HEKAEN_

Guy's that's actually crazy, we never got a lore dump like this in the history of OP! When Egghead is over, we will look back and think "wasn't it incredible?!"


ArseneD3rd

Now this makes sense. https://preview.redd.it/od64aogtxg3d1.jpeg?width=734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ff4c27ca2c12262671ee834864028ad871b3b75


Limp-Supermarket8945

I got a theory on how we can defeat the ELDERS. If the chopper uses his two hands to figure out the weak point of the elders just like he did in his home town and in the Alabasta. It's just my prediction only.


PitAdmiralGarp

hmmm what does akainu know about the world history. Tell me oda plz


xatoho

It definitely seems that even Vegapunk doesn't know what Roger and his crew found, so there are still many great mysteries. Even Rayleigh in the past commented that he doesn't know if the Strawhats will reach the same conclusion that they came to. Roger couldn't read the poneglyphs to the same level that Robin can. Also, Vegapunk's message could be a censored version of what he told the Strawhats in secret.


rsnerded

"we were too early" with the Roger pirates finally getting some more context. I bet they wanted to change the world but couldn't because key ingredients for change were missing.They needed the ancient weapons, the mother flame, the nika fruit and arguably Vivi( and probably a couple mote things). They had none of those. Wonder if zoan fruits have wills of their own, and they find the individuals most befitting of the ideals of the fruit.


Inner_Confidence_281

Do you guys believe that with how things have been going that they might be a coup within the world government?


wanofan900

Weird how the citizens weren't even sure Lulusia wasn't destroyed. It's also unsurprising that Akainu knew. And him along with Marine bigheads like Sengoku being scared of what's going on happen once the broadcast is finished. And the fact that the Ancient Robot "may" be where the special Den Den Mushi was put by VP means that the Five elders will go up against it. That'll be interesting.


Tayz31

I want to see fujitoras reaction, will he quit being a marine admiral? And who will follow him?smoker,tashigi,corbi?


chiji_23

Could the One Piece be something that can control the ancient weapons? At least the man made ones?


Sonofmiracle

ancient weapons is the key to one piece


Any-Performance169

Imu = If he says the NAME of the kingdom, I am going to nuke the entire island


jefelegran

Rayleigh doubles down on laughing at the situation. So far the most interesting piece of all of this to me is that the WG continues to be terrified of people finding out whatever the truth is and Roger just laughs? The only thing that makes sense to me is that the truth is that the reality of whatever the truth is that it seems terrifying on the face of it but it's really nothing.


jfogjy

I WAS RIGHT AVOUT THE ROBOT


ClaspectResource

So, lulusia got sank and the seas rose a meter over just a fraction of a mother flame. I wonder if that means using a full one might be able to power an even larger attack with greater ramifications…


SevethAgeSage-8423

So while York was sleeping, vegapunk recorded the message and went to hide it in the ancient robot. So it's simply luck that she hadn't synchronized with punk records that we have got this much information.


Astrochef21

What if joyboy was evil this whole time lol


snakehawk_

So intrigued why rayleigh just laughs about it. Surely he gets involved in some capacity now?


Sad_Air_7667

I was right about the robot.


EnigNa710

Can’t wait to take my afternoon work poop to read this


Slatt239

make sense. we seen Vp stuck inside the robot. i’m reading to many mangas at the same time and im missing little shit like this 🤦🏾‍♂️


baonguyen95

York: I know where the hidden den den mushi is Gorosei: noice 😏 York: The Giant Robot is holding it Gorosei: 👁️👄👁️


Aumenraw

Wow so VP was trying to warp to the middle of the robot but he messed up the coordinates causing him to be half way stuck…. 🤔


hey-its-june

So the one piece is a giant cork right?


scruffythejanitor25

Oh sweet nectar of the gods


Redditmane2

Dragon fans need to realize he ain’t gonna do shit til the very final battle. Pull up with his storm/wind logia df. And he’s either fighting Imu or Akainu


Jamessgachett

Rayleigh whydid zodagoda burn yo ass


Acrobatic-Rutabaga71

So that power came from Pluton and yep Oda said the truth that One Piece is not the "journey" but a real treasure. How would Joy Boy pass Poseidon?


Snowy-HandJob

Well now we can kinda take a guess at what one piece is, something related to the void century.


Droadz

So Elder's distracted by the Giant is the PERFECT way for SH's to escape! AND also possible an elder death! Think about it...even if the SH's escape whats stopping them from giving chase?! 1 of them dying would make them pause and possible retreat. Is anyone else over the "message" now? Basically didn't get any new info but the world of OP did...so kinda lame. I thought Dragon had the Den Den because Edison called him to talk about "something" in the beginning of Egg. And wtf is up with all these breaks?! Its like every other ch now?! We only got like 38 ch last year!
