You’re not even trying, Oda.

I know One Piece is written for Japanese boys but can you at least make Nami and Robin’s “future suits” cool looking? They’re as basic as you can get. It’s like you put all your artist points in making them look sexy but forgot about style. Oh, well. I’m sure your target audience will enjoy reading this chapter with one hand.

Looks like all the information about Kuma being a former tyrant was World Government lies. Most likely, he criticized the powerful organization, and had to give up his throne as a result or risk his country suffering from retaliation. Oda’s building up more hate for the WG, just in case you didn’t dislike them already.

Speaking of hype, Kuma is part of a special race? Could that be the same special race as…Blackbeard?! Dun-dun-dun! Kuma could be how the Straw Hats (and readers) learn about Blackbeard’s special body. If true, that’s an interesting way to go about it, Oda. I almost forgive you for turning Nami and Robin into Victoria’s Secret models.

Blackbeard? Well, isn’t this a surprise?

Was not expecting to not only see the Heart Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates, but we’ve got confirmation of several of Team Blackbeard’s devil fruits! Doc Q’s Sick-Sick fruit makes sense. Jesus Burgress’ Strong-Strong fruit is the perfect power for a muscle head like him. Stronger’s Pegasus Horse-Horse fruit works too. And woo-baby! We see Van Augur rockin’ the Warp-Warp fruit! That’s the perfect devil fruit for a sniper! I’m so excited for the destined Van Augur/God Usopp sniper fight. More than any other Blackbeard VS Straw Hat battle. Yeah, you heard me. I want to see Usopp master observation haki and whoop Augur’s ass. Just thinking about how insane their fight will be has me shaking with anticipation!

*sniff!* *sniff!* Aw, yes. Nothing like the smell of a new One Piece arc forming.

Six Vegapunks?! Well, seven if you count its original body. And it’s probably an older body at that. I don’t see OG Vegapunk being less than 50 years old. That’s probably another reason he split himself up besides the lack of proper help.

I wonder what Punk-01, Shaka The Good wants with the Straw Hats? Could it have something to do with Luffy’s Gear 5? Oda has stated Vegapunk’s an expert on devil fruits. They could know the whole truth about Luffy’s uber duper devil fruit. And maybe “hire” the new Emperor and his crew to help the genius scientist in exchange for all his devil fruit knowledge. Or at least, offer info on the location of the final Ponegliff? I can’t wait to see where this goes!

Light Pressure Gloves. My foreshadow senses are tingling! Maybe Franky will use that tech to upgrade the Thousand Sunny to withstand laser fire. Or allow a Straw Hat crewmember to fight Admiral Kizaru. The possibilities are almost endless.

Dr. Vegapunk, I presume?

Yes, and no. Is that a Vegapunk? Yes. Is it THE Vegapunk? Maybe. Okay, look. There’re tons of ways this can go. From the female Vegapunk being an android controlled by the real Vegapunk to a clone of the doctor. From what little we know of the genius scientist, he’s a master of robotics, genetics, and devil fruits. Basically, what she, he, or they can do is limited only to Oda’s imagination. And we all know Oda’s got that in spades.
