its funny to imagine how the new wave of fans brought from the live action series will react to the anime and manga. so your introduction to the series was the east blue arc so things are still relatively sane, but then you look at the anime where luffy is a cartoon character fighting a dragon in edo era japan and then cut again to the manga and suddenly the straw hats are in the future with albert einstein!? like what did you miss.

One Piece Chapter 1113 - Initial Thoughts
Tumblr media
It is time
One Piece is back again and the big announcement is almost underway. The Gorosei are circling though, much of the Straw Hats are cornered, will the revelation turn the tide?
Let's find out
Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too!
A chess-themed colour spread this time; Robin playing chess with the crew as chess pieces
Contrary to the message the King should not be the attacking piece but other than that I did find it funny that Usopp is a Bishop with a bow and arrow, this cleric does harm!
Also lil Chopper pawns!
Picking up where we left off, Markus Mars has been stopped in awe of a sight in Punk Records
The remains of Vegapunk's humungous brain, as big or maybe even bigger than a giant, kept in a pod and still working even after his death
Mars does wonder if this is more Vegapunk's true self, which I guess if it has his brain it's probably the main part that's biologically living
People around the world brace themselves though
Syrup Village! Kaya, Merry and the old Usopp Pirates get a cameo
Despite her wealth being enough for Kuro to plan a murder/retirement spree, they do not have a Video Den Den Mushi
Though it seems like it's more size than price, and Kaya is already keen to hear what Vegapunk is saying, given his role in the medical field
Also lil' Merry details on the Den Den Mushi
The Marines are monitoring it too
Laboon and Crocus cameo!
And we even get to go to Baldimore, birthplace of Vegapunk
Some dialogue from the group that found Franky during the separation too
'I heard he's turned himself into a ship now' XD because of the bounty poster, and the bad timeline SBS image maybe, though I still think we could in the future get a Sunny mecha
Also got Chopper's bird and medic island listening in
The tribespeople even know about Vegapunk, they call him a 'king of modern science'
Even despite the Garp and SWORD attack, some pirates from Fullalead are listening in - some still wanna fight each other though
Mars tries to stamp out the Den Den Mushi, but it's of course a fake! It shatters to reveal just another regular Den Den Mushi
Fooled again motherfucker!
Vegapunk does introductions once more but now everyone wants him to get on with it XD
For the most part the more obscure world shots seem somewhat familiar, I couldn't tell what the rainy place was but it could be Water 7, the other one looked a bit familiar, the Longarm place looks like to have Brook's old talent agents too
But this campfire one, a child is hushed back to sleep by their likely mother, they're in tipi tents, what's interesting is the other person there, almost like Oda's pulling something sneaky
Through their collective telepathy, Mars announces his failure, it was a decoy so they have no leads
They wonder what Vegapunk intends to say, fearing that he'll carry on what Clover started before he was silenced
Back to Sanji and he hears a woman's scream
Bonney is being targeted by V. Nusjuro, Franky standing between them but Sanji demands to be the white knight
He jumps off the sword to kick him in the jaw
By comparison V. Nusjuro is pretty damn huge
His body sets on fire - fitting to his Yokai lore - but then the horse's head comes out to bite Sanji
Lots of crackling of bones, I wonder if his Healing Factor is still a thing
As Oimo and Kashii tackle V. Nusjuro (about the same size as them), Vegapunk's broadcast begins, admitting to committing two grave sins
Bonney turns into a giant with her fruit to attack V. Nusjuro, who has returned to his hybrid form
Vegapunk's broadcast admits that he is likely to be executed, and that this broadcast would start when his heart has stopped
Sabaody reacts first, realising that this means Vegapunk is dead
Duval has trouble processing this, since the news said that he was a hostage for the Straw Hats
Caesar's also mad, he and Judge went through that whole cover story alliance for nothing, so now they can promptly fuck off
And Morgans is angry because Vegapunk is giving BIG NEWS without him like it's not in his name
Interestingly, Vegapunk is quick to state that his killers should not be portrayed as 'evil' - because they're looking pretty damn evil to me
It seems maybe this is because he expects Luffy to have been pinned as to blame for his death, though it could be scanlations saying 'him'
Saturn faces off with the Labophase group, demanding they move away
Saturn and Robin however recognize one another, Robin from his voice back in Ohara and Saturn by her image
Seems Saturn blames Akainu directly for Robin's escape, I mean he did blow up the hostage ship but still, there were more marines out there
He goes to attack Robin, so all the other Straw Hats go into protection mode
Brook cuts a few limbs, but worryingly Chopper blocked some with his Guard Point - those limbs are poisonous remember? Though it's impressive that he could suppress a claw that could go straight through Kuma
Nami also remembers that she can use Zeus to block attacks
Mars is still on recon, but his senses can't pick up any 'telepathic waves' - wonder if that's a Haki feat or something relative to the Gorosei's shared thoughts?
York is also having trouble figuring out where the Stella would've put it, since her position as a Celestial Dragon is on the line
Vegapunk's about to deliver his mission statement, which is putting the Gorosei into a panic
Mars considers blowing up the entire place, but Saturn and Warcury are weighing it against the possible losses; men, equipment, and any chance of recreating the Mother Flame
Wait. What?
"Our World...is going to sink into the ocean!"
Well you can't deny it: Global Warming is Real.
It's not just Water Seven and Aqua Laguna then, it's all going to sink, there's a lot of thematic consequences to that when you think about it.
Did the World Government ostracize the Fish-Men because of this? Knowing that they would inherit the world? Does this have any connection to Devil Fruits and why the Ocean really saps their strength? Did the ancient kingdom like Old Wano sink to the bottom of the sea?
It begets a lot of questions, in true Oda fashion.
The rest of the chapter was a lot more jam-packed than the last, even without Luffy. The carried tension of the announcement is followed by Saturn and V. Nusjuro's confrontations with the crew, giants and Bonney. As expected, Sanji took on V. Nusjuro, the hit didn't seem to do much in the long term as expected, though I kinda wish Franky also got a hit in but the extent of his own injuries is worth wondering.
I'm glad the Labophase crew are stepping up against Saturn, at least until the expected arrival of Zoro and Jinbe, but it does show their furthered growth versus Enies Lobby if they can successfully repel Saturn from Robin - her injury being validated by this scene, though I still wish we saw a flashback of the Straw Hats vs Seraphim and them uncovering York as the traitor.
Still it's bad PR from the Straw Hats either way, they're likely to be accused of killing Vegapunk, who was last deemed their hostage by the fake news machine (is Morgans still going to Egghead? I mean with Vivi with him we continue to tease a reunion), and while Punk Records still has a chance to live on this is definitely going to be something each crewmate will have to re-evaluate given the bigger picture. Still, that can come after getting off the island; Edison and the Sleeping Giant are still at play after all, Stussy still needs to release the barrier, it's looking more likely that we might finish up around 1120.
Still there has to be more to the announcement, if Vegapunk was waiting for a video display it means that there are visuals to corroborate his revelation - I wonder if the Gorosei are more open to this reveal coming out than what they expected with the Ancient Kingdom reveal they destroyed Ohara for? Like did Vegapunk dupe the WG into Buster Calling Egghead over a reveal they didn't care much for? He mentioned two grave sins too so there seems to be much more to his announcement than just the opening statement.

One Piece Ch. #1093 "Luffy vs Kizaru" SPOILERS
Tumblr media
Gear 5 Luffy seems to always have the same clothes despite Luffy having been wearing something completly different, like I can assume his shorts were under the shirt/dress but are you telling me the flip flops were inside the boots
Tumblr media
No, Atlas I like you I don't want you to get hurt again
Tumblr media
I like that Lucci has been downgrade to a first mate problem instead of a captain one
Tumblr media
Ok, she must be
----------------
Basically, most of the chapter are the fights, so I have not much to comment on those, but this chapter makes it really clear that Bonney is actually an infant because older man had refer always at adult young woman as "young lady" never "little girl"

one piece chapter 1095 spoilers
holy fuck ODA COOKED HARD THIS TIME HE BETTER CALM DOWN
this chapter, more lore is revealed. We have infos about Kuma, the CDs, Garling and there revos. Let's go:
-the chapter starts with Saturn saying that Bonney's stab didn't harm him. He removes the sword out of his chest and glares at Bonney, making her and Sanji fall back (unclear if it's conquerors haki or not)
-Kizaru is laying on the ground, he seems to be injured. Saturn is VERY disappointed in him this time
-Saturn tries to stomp on Luffy but Franky extends his hand and saves him in time. so instead he goes after Bonney who yells at him that he killed her father
-okay fellas, THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REAL GOOD! We see a young Kuma and Bonney, he is talking to her about Nika and sings the rythm of them drums of liberation to her and they start dancing 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
-fast forward 47 YEAR before that, someone leaked the infos about Kuma's blood test that he belongs to a very special race called the Buccaneers, his mother ends up getting killed in the process
-So basically, the Buccaneers are a race of people who have committed a TERRIBLE CRIME by world government standards (and knowing how the world government works, we know that would be some cringe ass cope crime against the whiny CDs but we have yet to find out what it is)
-We see a child Kuma and his father, his father sings the drums of liberation rythm to him and they start dancing to it, but then some guard shoots Kuma's father because he was "too loud", killing him as well
-the tennryubito were holding a "hunger game" styled competition where they bring members of every race the deem "problematic" and force them to fight each other to the death. And surprise surprise, they force a child Kuma to partake.
-the death match takes place on an inhabited island called "god valley" that is unaffiliated with the world government and is doomed to have it's whole population wiped off along the troublesome prisoners because they had the audacity to name their island a name containing the word "god"
-the king of the island tries to defend his island but Garling Figarland (who looks like a younger shanks but with a cresent shaped hair) kills him (we see lots of tennryubito swooning over him as well)
-the news that a child buccaneer (AKA Kuma) was trying to escape and was captured spread around, and we see Kuma being dragged back. Two kids approach him who are then revealed to be Ivankov and a girl eating meat called Ginny/Jinny, they comment that his size is HUGE (which is a special trait among the Buccaneers having giants like traits) and tell him that they will work together to survive
-Saturn is present as well on god valley, he looks like a boomer just like always does

Thinking about Dr. Vegapunk and how weirdly trans they are actually.
The Albert Einstein looking dude one day goes "1 body and mind isn't enough for all science I wanna do. I'm gonna make some clones but tweak them so we can get some varying view points and specializations" And 3 of his clones are female, and the other 3 are genderless robots.
And like, all of them still think of themselves as Vegapunk, and also each other? Including the original.

IMAGINE THE POTENTIAL ANGST FOR SANJI AFTER EGGHEAD
he promised Bonney he would save Stella...
Tumblr media
and now, not only did he not fullfill that promise, Vegapunk might have had just DIED IN HIS ARMS
Tumblr media
THINK OF ALL THE GOOD STUFF THIS COULD DO FOR SANJIS CHARACTER - THE ANGST, THE ANGUISH, THE DESIRE TO MAKE AMENDS, THE QUESTIONING OF HIS LIFE DECISIONS...
cant wait for what oda does with this

I know many people are saying Ginny could be Bonney's mother and surely there's some resemblance and Ginny too seems to love food (even though it's very possible Ginny is eating with such happiness because that was her first decent meal, given the horrible situation) but the moment I saw Ginny I thought: "York?!"
Tumblr media
Maybe Ginny was used to create one of the Stella, we still don't know the exact process Vegapunk created to transfer a piece of himself into different bodies...
But since York represents the greed in Vegapunk's character and so the greed for food maybe York's huge appetite has nothing to do with Ginny and Bonney...I'm just speculating, that's it

It took seeing them in the anime for it to really set in that vegapunk really is a whole freak for making the stellas Like That

i just love that vegapunk's... what are they called Stellas I think. Are divided neatly into two categories. Evil women and Weird robots. The two genders.
LITERALLY the two genders.
Also violent little girls, I love Atlas HHFHG

One Piece Chapter 1106 - Initial Thoughts
Tumblr media
And we are back
Things are looking dire, but somebody's on their way, ally or foe, it may not matter in the grand scheme, everyone needs off this island
Let's see how they get out of this one
Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release
Oda really has been hitting bangers with the cover page, this time Robin dressing a crocodile which works in multiple layers because 1. Robin <3 2. Robin with the thumbs up 3. Crocodile Surfer Dude 4. Reference to Robin and another Crocodile's past alliance and 5. Lacosta being a riff on the clothes brand Lacoste which has a crocodile on it (the logo used because René Lacoste's nickname) but also is loosely meaning 'the coast' in Spanish
But to the chapter, the Buster Call is raining fire on the Future Island
Luffy however stops being a little uncharacteristic, instant digestion and Gear Fifth back on the board, the marine grunts stood no chance
Luffy at least gave the courtesy of sending them flying off the island so they won't be burned to death
Back to the Bonney situation though, the Pacifista are ordered to kill all who are falling
'Shoot down this pathetic family' - choke to death why not Saturn?
Vegapunk however seems to have one more thing up his sleeve, having Atlas relay a message to Bonney
Bonney asks her father to stop shooting and help them escape
Bonney has higher authority over the pacifista! She has the army of Kumas!
The Mark IIIs are back on our side, thanks to Vegapunk's secret and admittedly selfish act of defiance, but one he knows will be costly
Saturn impales Vegapunk, though for someone who was all 'I'll know if you try to deceive me' he's been deceived thrice over
It's a pretty gnarly stab, but the heart is more on the other side so it might have just missed it, pierced lung for sure
Rough arc for Franky too; almost eaten by a mecha shark, his hero barely acknowledges him and tried to rob the crew, then there's more versions of his hero but they're all getting killed off, man didn't even get a chance to properly shine
Kizaru once again sticking to Saturn's orders, sending a flurry at the perpetually falling characters
Kuma's shot, while Atlas and Franky are grazed, Sanji given how he wasn't falling and was Sky Walking to Bonney has the positioning to block a hit with his foot
It clearly caused him some discomfort since all are shown in pain
Kizaru then goes for the close combat attack, ready to slice Bonney and Kuma down the middle in one fell swoop assuring her it'll be painless
But Luffy laughs back into the battle, giving Kizaru a giant hook punch
Luffy's DF also rubberized the ground, allowing for a safe, albeit bouncy landing
Bonney tends to Vegapunk as the ground shakes, the sound of the Drums echoing around the Buster Call, the sleeping giant stirs once more as Bonney recognizes the rhythm
She finally sees it, and connects the dots, as Vegapunk confirms that Luffy is Nika
Hearing that also causes Kuma himself to glance
But then, we see a very big ship, not one of a Blackbeard variety though
The Marines are scared, since the sailors are ones believed dead a hundred years prior
Dorry and Brogy have come! And are likely the 'they' from last chapter
And they've come to pick up Luffy, who they also know is the Sun God
Break next week but we can live with that one
When things are dire a small glimmer of hope reappears.
Luffy back in action for Round 2 is good and expected, we're just now gonna have to wait for Zoro to snap outta it and finish off Lucci like he should've done a while back, or at least explain why it's taken so long - like he already won but got lost or Hattori had a DF or Kaku also attacked or the Seraphim also attacked because they did kinda fall off given how they were defeated off-screen. Get Robin back on her feet and the Sunny safe, and also get Vegapunk and Kuma safe.
Bonney having higher authority on all the Pacifista is a good way out, albeit very drastic considering that it means the Navy's entire peacekeeping force is now under the whim of a 12 year old girl. And I must confess, while I enjoy it I can't deny that this twist was very similar to Tama turning the SMILE users against Kaido, small criticism though.
Dorry and Brogy coming is a surprise, but it definitely will help to bridge the arc from Egghead to Elbaf, given the giants' friendliness with Shanks and wasting of Kid's ship it can lead to some surprising dynamics down the line for the Land of Giants. Plus we can't rule out the Blackbeard ship still.
But for now it looks like Luffy is set to fend off Kizaru, which still leaves Saturn to be dealt with, but it is looking more and more like the island may in fact survive the Buster Call.

one piece 1091 spoilers (including things you won't see in viz)
Hey! Well everyone's going OPLA crazy, so 1091 might just fly under the radar, which is a shame, cos' it's a good chapter! I usually only do these commentaries on the chapters with Law, Kid, characters I really like (and I like the Straw Hats, but you know where my heart lies!), or small things that catch my attention like:
Tumblr media
Is that Chuji (from Wano) helping Sanji out with the cooking for the crew? AND did
Tumblr media
Doflamingo and one of his clones pop in to spice up the party? AND where
Tumblr media
are Robin and Franky? Love seeing Jinbei helping out with the cooking, and Brook and Chopper politely enjoying themselves. Chapter's title is Sentomaru!
So the Pacifista and the weaponised sea beasts are taking on the navy (and the Vegapunks don't know that their defenses have been breached yet. The sea beasts are cute in a Big Mom way:
Tumblr media
But never fear because
Tumblr media
Doll is here! And another of the new vice admirals who was to the right of those two frames above. Beating up sea beasts, I think, and making their way to the Pacifistas (Doll already arrived!).
It seems that
Tumblr media
if Kizaru hadn't breached the defences that the navy wouldn't stand too good a chance against the Robo beasts, OR, if Kizaru was with them, maybe they would. Also, love Usopp with his sniper specs (or whatever they are).
Also, it seems that Vegapunk is pretty blind to
the weakness in the control hierarchy. As shown earlier with the whole seraphim debacle, it's too easy for one person in the chain to wrest control. Then again, there is or was an assumption that everyone is trusted. Going out of order, but Jay Garcia Saturn Kizaru saying (thanks @darkspock)
Tumblr media
that it would be good to keep Vegapunk alive (he is alluding to Vegapunk here, as Kizaru confirms he's set to kill him in the next panel) in the same way Jay Garcia Saturn says that
Tumblr media
it was a shame to lose the weaponised beasts, and that losing them, and ultimately Vegapunk, because they are the less valuable or even dangerous assets, show how far removed he is from humanity. BUT, he does want to keep one Vegapunk! (Edit in: And I wonder now if Kizaru is talking about Sentomaru)
Tumblr media
York! Love me a good villain. Ahhh. And also the power station, and Punk Records cannot become collateral damage. Elimination fo the rest of Vegapunk is the top priority. I still think the Victoria Punk might have a link to all of this too! (just from the name).
Anyway, back to the linear storyline. Before Sentomaru
Tumblr media
bites the dust, Usopp, Nami and Brook sight Kizaru, and Brook mentions Sabaody. It's not forgotten, throughout the piece.
AND, I just had a thought, they weren't taken out by Kizaru this round, far from it, but Kid and Law (and all the other supernova, other than Bonney, Luffy and Zoro) were taken out by other forces before they got the chance to flee from (or fight) Kizaru again. It's a good way of showing the high stakes and who is left in the game. (Usopp still has his specs).
Tumblr media
So Vegapunk is not aware of Kizaru's determination to let Sentomaru fight from his own morals, and Sentomaru's resolve to protect Vegapunk at all costs. The very small background story (we had some before) is sweet, as always, especially the relationship between "Uncle" Kizaru and Santomaru.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And speaking of cute and hoodlum and maybe awkward, but so at home in one's skin to not even be aware of it:
Tumblr media
Young
Tumblr media
Kizaru. SO Kizaru wipes out Santomaru and it affects
Tumblr media
Stella Vegapunk (Atlas too?). But York is unaffected, and won't give up the code! (And Usopp has lost his glasses).
What if the "Old Friends" that Jay Garcia Saturn Kizaru refers to were
Tumblr media
this treacherous bastard, and his now bubble-wrapped
Tumblr media
colleague, Kaku!
Smart move on Sanji's part, but let's reel it back a little:
Tumblr media
Rob Lucci takes Stussy out (and Oda did say in the most recent SBS that he finally learnt how to draw bums, so he's taking every opportunity to draw bums. Butt only female bums, apparently!) And declares:
Tumblr media
that he and Kizaru are besties and everyone's days are numbered, BUT, what if Jay Garcia Saturn Kizaru was talking about Rob Lucci (and Kaku) when he said it was a shame to lose old friends. Lucci is one of those kinds of villains who should be on the most-hated list (like Spandam and Walpole). He's good looking for sure, and CP9/0 have sad stories, but dammit!
Also, Big News Morgans is not gonna be happy about Stussy. But Sanji's move against Kaku above was so swift and cool. And it's Nami declaring Stussy Chan, isn't it? I don't think it's Sanji, due to the positioning of the text bubble, but I could be wrong.
This guy (Zoro)
Tumblr media
is on the offensive (looks great!). And so is
Tumblr media
this guy! Also love that Luffy uses 'we' to describe the whole crew (the whole generation?) being stronger.
And Santomaru's Japanese attack names and their meanings, apparently won't appear in Viz:
Tumblr media
T/N: "TIN: "SUMO STRIKE" IN VIZ.
ASHIGARA IS THE MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEGENDARY KINTARO WHO INSPIRED SENTOMARU'S DESIGIN.
I'm sure I've missed a ton, but there you go! Oh, where's Robin? (and Chopper). Were they going to the Sunny? Also, these two scenes were superrr cute! Bonney and Luffy should definitely be besties.
