Hm. I’m starting to think shonen manga author, Eiichiro Oda, isn’t good at writing political drama.

Did Harald have to be portrayed so oblivious to the Five Elders and Celestial Dragons, in general? They own slaves! They consider anyone not a Celestial Dragon as inferior! They attack weak countries not affiliated with the World Government! This makes ZERO sense that Harald didn’t pick up on all of that and, instead, put HIS ENTIRE TRUST into the World Government and the mysterious guy you swore totally loyalty too!

I fear for the Void Century flashback if it contains political drama because it’s just not Oda’s strength. That’s fine, not many authors are good at writing every single genre of storytelling. But… I suspect none of Oda’s Editors told him this or he just doesn’t care.

As punishment, Imu’s gonna make Harald do that 6-7 meme. The monster!

You know what? I’m starting to think King Imu doesn’t like Joy Boy.

That Joy Boy haki blast sealed Saint Saturn’s fate. Imu didn’t like that one bit. I guess it triggered some serious PTSD from a previous encounter with the original J.B. Notice how Imu blamed Saturn for “Joy Boy’s” escape, not Luffy. Oh, boy! Imu has a button you should never press and Joy Boy is it. Could Imu’s desire to destroy Gear 5 Luffy lead him to making huge mistakes that’ll cost him everything? I’d say yes.

Jaygarcia Saturn is dead. Very dead. Super duper dead. There’s a clear link to the Five Elder’s power and Imu. They serve him well—everything’s good in the Mary Geoise hood. They screw-up? It’s a free trip to the Shadow Realm. A gruesome trip too. I know he’s evil, but I really felt bad for St. Satur— Hahahaha! Oh, man. I just couldn’t hold it. Yeah, that bastard deserved it.

Let’s pour out a little oil for our robot homie.

Emet, the (not so) little robot that could. And he did—save Team Straw Hat, that is. But I don’t think anyone could guess he’d do it by unleashing Joy Boy’s haki. I wonder if Joy Boy specifically thought King Imu would be the one causing problems for his robotic friend in the future? Emet should be strong enough to take on just about any threat. Storing haki inside his buddy, Joy Boy probably thought Emet’s opponent would be a living being(s) too powerful or immune to standard weapons. Hmm… I’m really curious when Joy Boy and Emet had that conversation. My guess it’s near the end of their adventures together or even the last time they spoke.

Joy Boy’s haki (I presume) caused the Elders to retreat. Was it them specifically affected or was it King Imu? Are the Elders and King Imu linked in some way? Do the Elders even have devil fruits or does their power come directly from Imu? Hmm… That would help explain their immortality and invulnerability. So, if Imu goes down, the Five Elders go down with him. Interesting, if true.

I don’t know what’s crazier: St. Mars already back at Mary Geoise just chillin’ while waiting for his pizza delivery or King Imu spazzing out over Joy Boy’s big D. energy haki.

Optimus Emet is about to rejoin the Matrix.

Over 900 years is a good run. Sure, your best friend died and the planet flooded, but at least the WIFI still works. Emet’s about to die, Y’all. For real this time! Let’s just hope he survives long enough for Vegapunk’s recording to give us the name of the Ancient Civilization. But, hey! Oda gave us a Chekhov’s robot powers. I’m sure we’ll see what Emet can really do in the Void Century flashback.

Anyone else get the feeling Emet’s gonna self-destruct? That’s usually how it goes, right? Nothing else works but you can bet your sweet bippy the ole self-boom is oiled up and ready to go. Besides, it’s the one thing that could possibly slow down the Five Elders long enough for Team Luffy to escape.

Emet’s gonna use his secret weapon: Tattling. The Five Moms are gonna spank ’em good!

Nika Bonney sucks.

I figured stamina would be an issue but Ms. Nika barely did anything! Well, the powerscalers are at least happy. Also, I guess mastery of haki comes with Bonney’s Nika Package. Sure. Why not?

Alrighty! Let me see… Five Elders. One (St. Mars) got Team Rocket’d. St. Peter and St. Warcury are being held back by Gear 5 Luffy and Emet, the ancient robot. …That leaves St. Saturn and St. Nusjuro. How much you wanna guess those two are what’s holding up the Thousand Sunny Group?

Don’t think Emet forgot you owe him money, St. Warcury.

If true, then Team Nami needs a distraction. Enter Atlas wanting to check up on the Sunny. I really don’t see Lilith dying, so what does Atlas want them to do? Well, I guess they could try to sacrifice themselves but the Straw Hats will stop them. And, the hold up could give Stussy time to help and hop aboard the Thousand Sunny. Either that or she finds and escapes with Edison somehow.

Five old men, one admiral, and a ton of fodder are determined to keep the Straw Hat Crew from escaping. Welcome to One Piece, Chapter 1112. But first, a message from our sponsor.

We get what I believe is our first look inside Punk Records. The transmission transponder snail broadcasting the worldwide message is inside… along with something else. With only one minute until Dr. Vegapunk snitches on the World Government—what could St. Mars be looking at? Well, I’m assuming that something is gonna prevent him from destroying the snail. Maybe another Vegapunk Satellite about the hatch from its tank? But, if so, how could they keep Mars from destroying the snail? Hmm…

We know all of the Straw Hats are making it out, but what about their allies? Stussy stayed behind to lower the Frontier Dome at the right moment to allow the others in Labophase to escape. Is she doomed? Well, if she has the strength to fly off the island with her bat powers, then no. But that’s also assuming she can do it undetected. Hope your life insurance is paid, Stussy.

Elbaph Is The Next Island Destroyed By Uranus [One Piece]

6 Comments on Elbaph Is The Next Island Destroyed By Uranus [One Piece]

The giants of Elbaph worship the Sun God, Nika. The World Government was to erase anything and anyone connected to him or the Void Century. Doesn’t take a socially awkward One Piece fan with too much time on his hands to figure out Elbaph’s days are numbered!

But why hasn’t the World Government destroyed Elbaph already, you ask? Simple. They can’t!

Elbaph is an island full of warrior giants, for one. That’s more than enough to give the World Government pause. Then, there’s the island’s location in lawless/Yonko territory. Sure, that’s another big problem but Elbaph has been around for centuries, right? You’d think it be worth it to the Five Elders and King Im to destroy the country hundreds of years ago. So, again, why not?

Imagine your grumpy, demonic powered grandpa telling you to turn off that blasted television or else. You choose else, so he and his four demon buddies decide to turn the TV off themselves. And, you along with it.

One Piece chapter 1110 is what I expected and more. Indeed, I expected to see the other four of the Five Elders appearing on Egghead. I didn’t, however, expect them to immediately get down to business. No threats. No monologuing. No hesitation. Say what you want about Boomers being out of touch, but they know how to get down to business.

Based on the chapter, St. Mars, the only flying member of the geriatric group, is trying to destroy the source of Dr. Vegapunk’s transmission located in the Labophase. St. Nusjuro’s disabling of the Pacifistas, my guess, is meant to flip the Navy back on the offensive. They’re now free to continue the Buster Call as well as fully pursue Jewelry Bonney. But lets be real, we’re in this arc’s endgame. They’re not making much of an impact going forward.

Forget Luffy. Somebody call the Ghostbusters!
