Bonney got her revenge, sorta.
Luffy caused most of the damage to St. Saturn, but sure, let’s all agree Bonney got her resolution. It’s a weak ending to a weak-ish arc villain. Saturn, you suck. Sure, you’re evil and all, but you lack the charisma or swag other big One Piece villains have. Here’s hoping you fall into the sea and die.
I was so sure Admiral Kizaru would attack one more time. Doesn’t look like it’s happening. I get it. His heart isn’t in this mission and it’s affecting his fighting ability. Still, I wonder if the Five Elders will try to put some blame on him? I mean, what else are they gonna do? Blame themselves? Ha ha ha ha! Not happening. Kizaru might be in danger, Y’all. But I guess most of the Vegapunks dying will help salvage Kizzy’s career. Still, I wonder what the admiral will do going forward?
Holy crap, Y’all! I think Whitebeard was a Buccaneer!
The D Clan. The Buccaneers. The Lunarians. The Three-eyed People. Could everything that’s gone down in the past be the result of racism? The humans feared the power of other races and decided to take it for themselves? Hate and jealousy. That’s a nasty combination, but one I see motivating Team Imu.
I guess Sir Crocodile and Mihawk have to look for the One Piece with Buggy now. Forget glory, there’s a chance to learn about Ancient Weapons and the truth about the world. Knowledge is power—and no one knows that more than ole Crocodile.
Oda made it obvious we’re officially in the final saga of the series now. It’s all about finding the One Piece, the ones closest to accomplishing it and the ones trying to stop them. …Okay. I’m a little excited but…I don’t know. I think I’m just ready to move on from Egghead and Dr. Vegapunk. Even the mystery guy on the last page was more whatever than OOOH look at that. Not saying I’m not curious, but it seems like Oda threw that guy in just to create hype. I doubt that person is gonna be that impactful. Yep, I just set the dinner table with that statement. Here’s a fork, Oda. I dare you to make me eat my words!
This was an okay chapter! Bonney’s weak payback against eternal scrub Saturn didn’t help, nor did Dr. Vegapunk not dropping the Ancient Civilization’s name (which could still happen but I’m not holding my breath). The Thousand Sunny hasn’t even touched water yet. Just escape already! Geez! Well, at least we learned how inanimate objects gain devil fruit powers. Wait, no we didn’t. Didn’t Oda say years ago Dr. Vegapunk would tell us? I bet he forgot. Damn it! Oh, well, at least One Piece will end spectacularly on day. Oda’s got the final page in a safe. Unless—he forget the combination to unlock it. Oh no…
