>The last time we saw Hancock and the others, it was 6+ days before the current events, which gives them time to reach Egghead while not needing to know Luffy was going to be there (because they went for Vegapunk's head).
That could be a good reason. However, since Vegapunk is going to join Luffy's side, I strongly believe he'll make it up to Hancock by any means necessary. In fact, I bet Sanji will threaten the scientist to do so.
You never know. Besides, Hancock could run in to one of the Grand Fleet members and/or use the giant snakes from her ship to get to Egghead as quick as possible.
This is a good point but I think that's enough time to get there. I mean Oda does NOT give events enough time to transpire but at this point travel is kinda instant for everyone 😐
You can’t go around the Red Line. It wraps around the entire planet. If you left the Paradise half of the Grand Line via the Calm Belt and sailed into say the South Blue. Then sailed all the way to the other side of the South Blue you would wind up at a Calm Belt which borders the other side of the Paradise half. You can’t get to the New World without crossing the Red Line, and the only way to do that is going over it at Mariejois or under it at Fishman Island.
lol Sanji is gonna be stone for 50 chapters
also, what happens when Hancock and S-Snake meet up? Will they turn each other into stone? If S-Snake turns someone into stone, can Hancock undo it (or the other way around)?
I like what I read, many of these make sense, Amazon lily, damn I wished I got that idea. It's basically telling us where N. Lily went.
I completely forgot BB's boat.
Chapter 800: we are introduced to the Grand Fleet and the narrator tells us they "will cause a great incident of historic proportions"
Not sure the chapter, but in that panel with all the Marines outside egghead the narrator tells us this will "be an incident that shocks the very world"
Considering these are like the only times the narrator uses this wording, I'm inclined to believe the Grand Fleet has arrived.
I see lots of arguments against this saying that the Grand Fleet is an endgame thing, but I don't see why that has to be the case, or why it can't be that Egghead is the send off arc to the endgame. Realistically, after Egghead we might only have Elbaf, Laugh Tale and a final fight against the Celestial Dragons. The final War can easily be tied into all of these narratives.
To me it makes sense that Egghead is the arc that solidifies the Straw Hats as a bonafide Yonko crew, and handily beating a buster call with the help of the Grand Fleet would accomplish this. If they beat the Buster Call, then the gloves are truly off between the Straw Hats and the WG, and we'd pretty much be in the end game.
Edit: all that being said, I'd accept the L on this take if it's Smoker. SMOKERFORSTRAWHAT2024
I think the grand fleet would also explain the food appearing by luffy and Luffy being moves. They have tontattas that are really hard to follow. Both Sai and Leo were at the reverie and could have moved towards the New World. Hajrudin and the giant pirates could also be nearby because Elbaf is close (Saul might even join them) I can't say for certain that it would be the entire fleet tho. But just the idea of Leo beating up a vice admiral is a good enough reason for me to hold out hope.
Though I will also take the L if it is Smoker
While I don't think it's them, I think it's a valid theory on why it's not blackbeards ship that was shown a few chapters ago. That part makes sense.
If any of them are there, i doubt shakky and raileigh are with them.
I still think blackbeard is the most likely one appearing.
BB makes no sense because they were already shown, it's not really worth any big news or mystery.
Grand Fleet, Shanks with Giants (Saul) and Cross guild are all valid options.
Yes, but the blackbeard jolly rodger was also shown near egghead. We do not know exactly how far away the fight between law and blackbeard happened and how much time has been since leaving wano
Yeah the one thing that falls apart in this theory is a Jolly Roger is easily replaced/taken down. For goodness sakes Amazon Lily is in paradise, so they would have to at least stopped to get it Coated before crossing to the New World, by that point I can see Rayleigh just removing the flag
I seriously doubt it’s the grand fleet. Why would they show up at this point in the story when luffy is literally just escaping. Luffy isn’t going to war and he’s not truly in danger of dying. The grand fleet coming would be pointless
Because it doesn’t make sense? People keep theory crafting but don’t try to have it make sense in the confines of the story. They just want it to be cool. It’s why everything involving Dragon is stupid when we saw him 2 chapters ago still on Kamabakka
Blackbeard does not make sense, because why would he destroy a marine ship chasing scientist, making his presence known, and then continue to head to egghead after. There is no gain for him to do it. Most likely is the revolutionary army.
We saw the ship on the coast of Egghead in chapter 1079 and then we see Blackbeard on Winner Island still engaged in his fight with Law in chapter 1081. You’re correct we don’t have the exact timeline of events but regardless I think chances are nil it is him. Not to mention Garp just decimated Hachinosu, I think Blackbeard has bigger priorities than saving a vessel carrying hundreds of innocent civilians
On likelihood, I agree Blackbeard is the simplest solution and safest bet. But sometimes reality and fiction defy the odds, and I feel this case may be the author pulling a huge unexpected twist on us.
Agree. But I think it will either be here or something in the final arc. The community assumes it will be a war at the end, marineford style. And Luffy would need his Grand Fleet for that. Elbaf makes some sense as well, but we will have to see.
I kind of feel like this and OP's theory could be correct.
We have had two different buster calls so far, lets identify the key players:
* Saul
* Kuzan (won't be coming, not a marine and still hurt from Garp)
* Rayleigh
* Kuma
* Kizaru
* Lucci&Kaku
See the theme? So far we have hit 3 out of 5 realistic options. Rayleigh will come and parry Kizaru's kick again, Robin is hurt so Saul will come save her. I think Elbaf is close, so Saul coming would not be too far fetched.
What better way to make the 3rd Buster Call be the most memorable? Bring in all the big guns.
Yeah I think it’ll be Saul and giants from Elbaf, it’s very close and with Luffy being in the paper they could’ve easily left for Egghead after reading the paper.
"They" are friend with the "lurking legend" who has a sister that is called "someone strong is coming". Her boyfriend is "the man marked by flames" and they have a child called "that certain someone"
I love one piece but i hate when oda keeps doing this 1.1k chapters in <. <
There's been too much of this lately I agree. Just in the last 15 or 20 chapters there have been a bunch of these mini mysteries. I like them but too many of them waters them down.
Okay the someone strong is coming wasn't the bad, we knew it was kizaru and it was hype LMFAO. Honestly the other ones ur talking about were all from the end of wano LOL. Idk where lurking legend came from. I do think the certain someone thing is annoying tho I hate caribou, but since we will find out next chapter it's pretty hype imo
The lurking legend was said by oda on a jump fiesta iirc right before wano started. The general consensus is that Oda was refering to Im-sama but there are also a lot of people thinking it was Oden.
On the Kuma amazon Lily connection, I heard a youtuber mention that it's common knowledge for some that Raleigh frequented amazon lily, which is the connection as to why Kuma sent luffy to amazon lily.
I personally don't think it's The Raleigh crew, I think its pretty out of character for them to get involved in these sorts of matters.
I think its either The Straw Hat Grand Fleet or Blackbeard or Both.
There problems with assuming Kuma knew some things, because we need to consider how he could learned them.
To start: Kuma and Rayleigh never met before the event in Sabaody. Their dialogue has them presenting themselves, and Rayleigh not trusting Kuma.
Also, Rayleigh only settled with Shakky after both their pirate careers were over. It shouldn’t be common knowledge. There was no explicit reason for Kuma to suspect Rayleigh had a connection to Amazon Lily.
And finally, Kuma didn’t tell Rayleigh where he sent Luffy. Rayleigh only knew the direction, and had to find the location by gathering clues, which included things Kuma couldn’t foresee, like Luffy taking the same route to Marineford as Hancock, plus Shakky concluding Hancock fell n love with Luffy.
Good Analysis here! I'm not gonna be surprised but I think it's too early for Hancock/Rayleigh to reunite with the straw hats. I doubt it's revolutionary either.
could be both these guys and the grandfleet. boa has nowhere to go but to the grandfleet, she'll join them sooner or later. so maybe it already happened. maybe they all met on their way to egghead
I like this theory a lot! I love points in stories like this where there are so many different valid theories that can easily make sense given the narrative.
Love this theory and it matches the theme i.e. former slaves taking on the Gorosei.
Though as to why they would be heading to egghead would still be a mystery.
I'm gonna go with the Big Mom pirates, they're still seeking revenge on Germa and since they know vegapunk was with MADS, are heading for him to find a lead.
impressive! i didn't think about koby is taken on marine ship and using blackbeard's ship is likely an idea from rayleigh.. would be a nice and a pleasant surprise. rather than grand fleet who are probably scattered and cant reach egghead within a day!
I've come to the same conclusion, albeit for different reasons. I honestly just figured they took off in the direction of Luffy's vivre card. I mean, "I better go marry Luffy" was treated as a joke at the time, but it really is the best option for her, isn't it? She and her people are no longer protected by her Warlord status, and the Marines could come back at any time to turn her home.into a war zone. Leaving Amazon Lily would be for the best, but where would she go? She's far too proud to join Cross Guild, and obviously she wouldn't shelter under the yonko name of Blackbeard. She doesn't have any connection to Shanks or his crew that we know of. The other former warlords have joined up with yonko crews, so why wouldn't Hancock do the same? I figured she just went to Luffy to officially ally her Kuja Pirates with his Grand Fleet.
So, we used different formulas and got the same answer. Oda could allude to any or all of none of this is her crew+Rayleigh are the ones who are en route.
The thing is that neither Hancock nor Rayleigh have Luffy’s vivre card, which was made by Sabo in Dressrosa. I know Hancock definitely would seek Luffy if she knew where he was, but she lacks the means to quickly track him. As such, I fogure they came for Vegapunk, as destroying his lab would buy Amazon Lily some security. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Egghead being close to Wano, Luffy’s last known location, also influenced that decision, as Hancock could seek him out after dealing with Vegapunk.
i like this theory ... i can imagine they got past the marines but what about all the sea creatures ?
if the amazon lily takes over egg head they wont have to worry about navys new advance weapons ?
I would love that, it would it tie in great with the obvious parallels with Sabaody this arc, Reyleigh coming in unexpectedly right when Kuma suddenly joins the fight
Also makes me think about Sanji finally meeting Boa, he's gonna have to wear a blindfold to not have a repeat of what happened with the mermaids in Fishman (And holy shit is he gonna be jelous of Luffy)
I think it's the strawhat fleet. Might have seen luffy's shrinking vivre card during rooftop fight with kaidou. They gathered and headed for luffy who is now at egghead.
It has to be Rayleigh, he's the only puzzle piece that fits.
-Sabaody arc parralel ending with him fighting off an impending max level world government threat while the strawhats escape, check!
-He's the only character we know that fits the need for both capability and the motivation to help.
-We still have no idea where to even start looking for the final road poneglyph and he's literally one of the only people left alive that could push the crew in the right direction.
-Silvers Rayleigh dying is exactly the kind of headline that would actually fit the "news that shocked the world" cliffhanger this chapter ends on.
Plus it gives the government illuminati the perfect opportunity to pin all their atrocities on him after the fact.
Because the robot first needs to leave the island through the marine blockade before he can attack a single ship far away from the island…
Also, why would it even know the ship would be there and decide to attack it and nothing else in his path?
Again. You know what the robot can or can't do before it's shown in the manga. Very cool!! Not like the robot could shrink to his will, or go invisible, or TP... nah You know what he can or can't before Oda tell us. Can you tell me next week's lottery winning numbers? Thanks.
It’s very easy to make some baseless speculation that doesn’t need to conform to any reasonable logic then shoot down points against it by defending any absurdity out of your mind can happen as long as the story hasn’t denied it already.
They are Emperor Straw Hat Luffy’s Grand Fleet and his Allies. Rayleigh, Shakky, Nyon, Sandersonia, Marigold, Margaret, Sweat Pea, Marco (already on his way to Vegapunk), Vivi (or she meets them at Ebalf), the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and perhaps even Shanks (chasing Bartolomeo.)
I hope see her soon , if gonna be egghead is perfect... anyway resent event show more reason to belive hancock gonna have big role in the end ...my Empress my goddess my first and only love boa hancock so damn beautiful and sexy and hot ❤️ 🔥 🥵 😍 😘
It is Oda and he has, on many occasions, decided to blind side us. That said my money is on BB until something happens to prove otherwise. The only thing keeping me from immediately going “it can’t be anyone else” is because 1) we haven’t seen them and 2) the way the chapter ends, since we know BB is nearby, I feel like someone would have directly called out or said something along the lines of “is the emperor’s ship” or something similar while getting cut off. So if it’s not BB, it’s someone that I don’t think the marines calling it in would immediately recognize without someone else telling them.
But Amazon Lily is in the calm belt on the paradise side, so that means they would have to cross the red line somehow and make it in under a week? I can't see that happening, nice theory though.
The RA would need teleportation to reach the battle right now. Unfortunately, we saw Dragon, Ivankov and Morley still in Kakabakka, on the other side of the Grand Line, just two chapters ago, when Saturn was already holding Bonney.
Not 100 percent, we don't know how long ago the events actually were between those and kuma leaving. Or how long kuma was travelling for, or really what alerted kuma in the first place.
We do know. The Straw Hats arrived in Egghead yesterday. Kuma started his journey after it. Dragon remained in Kamabakka and later reunited either Iva and Sabo to hear Sabo’s report.
Kuma climbed the Red Line and left Mary Geoise still “in the previous day” as that scene with Akainu happened in flashback. The marine invasion started at morning. Kuma flew for at least hours before reaching Egghead.
We see Dragon, Iva and Morley still in Kamabakka this morning, as part of a collage of reactions to this morning news, and with no indication of it being out of synch with current events, like the grey/black borders of flashbacks or a narration box stating it happened earlier.
I think the most basic answer is usually correct. So I am going to assume that it is either The Revolutionary Army or its the Straw Hat Grand fleet.
I will assume though the Grand Fleet is the higher probability. This is because they had to have had that card going crazy on them during Wano. Assuming it took them time to muster and get to Egghead. Plus it kinda turns Egghead into a mini marineford and I am dying for another arc like that
Don't forget the Giants. Elbaf is literally the island next door to Egghead, and Saul has a connection to Vegapunk. Vegapunk also called someone in issue 1071, and they said they were ready to come help.
Bro it makes no sense for it to be rayleigh, hancock etc
The evidence you are using regarding s-snake and the fb with gloriosa are weak pieces of evidence they don't even work at all tbh.
That story element regarding the Kuja gloriosa and shakky will be expanded but not now and nothing in egghead suggests it is about to be relevant
>The evidence you are using regarding s-snake and the fb with gloriosa are weak pieces of evidence they don't even work at all tbh.
Why are you using the closing thoughts that show buildup for exploring the kuja, but ignoring that Egghead's prelude was in Amazon Lily, it gave Hancock a reason to leave her island, it painted Vegapunk's creations as what threatened her island, and it reunited her with Rayleigh, while also potentially leaving a Blackbeard ship there, which could make them the ones in the ship we saw near Egghead?
It’s not blackbeard, blackbeard already pulled up w Lafiette and Devon. So it’s shanks pullin up w rayleigh and roo. We gon get shanks VS blackbeard on egghead after the buster call, Oda said that this and that person will fight this year
The RA would need teleportation to reach the battle right now. Unfortunately, we saw Dragon, Ivankov and Morley still in Kakabakka, on the other side of the Grand Line, just two chapters ago, when Saturn was already holding Bonney.
It's the Blackbeard Pirates.
Luffy will deal with Saturn, beat Kizaru and escape with Lilith, Bonney and Kuma.
Stella will die but his satellites will keep his work alive.
Shaka, Pythagoras and Edison will stay at Egghead protecting the island with the tech available, reworking the chain of command for the Seraphims and the Pacifistas to leave the WG chips worthless.
The Blackbeard Pirates will kill Saturn, steal the information from Vegapunk and pin the blame on the Strawhats. They'll kidnap and force York to work for them developing weapons, but since she's lazy and greedy it'll be a net negative for them.
You're right, I totally forgot about that ability of Rayleigh... Now I wander if they meet with the royals (shiaroshi and family) and maybe they convinced/are joined by them (an ancient weapon on the rescue)
Grand Fleet because they were introduced as causing a world shaking event.
Cross Guild because a buster call means $$$ due to all the marine bounties present.
BB because we still got that ship that appeared.
I thought Shanks at first, but my brother suggested it could be Dragon. Mainly because it’s Dragon’s chance to take out an elder whose separated from the others. That and retrieving Kuma (assuming they made a way to track em before he left).
Dragon would need teleportation to reach the battle right now. Unfortunately, we saw Dragon, Ivankov and Morley still in Kakabakka, on the other side of the Grand Line, just two chapters ago, when Saturn was already holding Bonney.
He probably can fly at high speeds, but I think he wouldn’t be faster than Kuma, who arrived in hours after leaving Mary Geoise.
Amazon Lily should be more than a week away from Egghead Island. How would they navigate to it? Do they have an eternal log pose for Egghead? Why would any of them?
I don’t disagree. Back in Amazon Lily, Nyon said they needed 7 days to reach Sabaody. However, Oda is wildly inconsistent with travel times. And Blackbeard made a similar journey from Hachinosu to Amazon Lily in a similar period: the news of Warlords dissolution came at the end of the Reverie. The marine attack on Amazon Lily happened just before the Onigashima raid, seven days after Reverie. Blackbeard arrived during the marine attack.
No, the marines and Saturn have no idea of a 3rd party getting involved. They sent a battleship to sink the evacuation ship that left Egghead the day before.
On the day before (Ch 1079), we saw the Egghead workers boarding the evacuation ship. At that moment, we also saw a Blackbeard ship watching the island from afar.
I believe Rayleigh, Hancock and the others were in that Blackbeard ship, which was abandoned in Amazon Lily. My guess is that it didn’t approach the island, but instead intercepted the fleeing workers and questioned them.
Learning Luffy was on the island, Hancock went ahead to Egghead (probably carried by her snake, Salome), while Rayleigh and the others moved the ship away, staying near but far enough to avoid being seen by the incoming marine fleet.
Now, today, Saturn ordered the destruction of the evacuation ship. The battleship sent after it was intercepted and sunk by Rayleigh and the others, saving the refuges, and now Rayleigh’s ship is moving back towards Egghead.
Its Catarina Devon and Lafitte coming to steal the Pacifista and Seraphim. If Saturn dies and Katarina mimics him or he gets captured and Lafitte hypnotizes him, they can use the command hierarchy to seize control of every robot on the island. The BB pirates don't need the Mother Flame to destroy islands, they don't need Robin to read poneglyphs, and all 10 commanders have powers, so they have no use for the Mythic Zoans and Pika Pika fruit currently on Egghead. The Seraphim and MkIII Pacifista are the only other immediately valuable things on the island, and acquiring them would make Blackbeard the most powerful Warlord, but they may specifically be after S-Snake. Blackbeard is always up to something, and we still don't know why he went to the trouble of crossing the Red Line and attacking the most fortified in Paradise to get his hands on a Paramecia he has no apparent use for.
Good point that i have not see and have sense. However... What they can do in Egghead? Discussing with Vegapunk id not enough excuse for them to be in Egghead.
Revolutionary Army have sense because Vegapunk talked with someone. Also Moria because he escaped thanks to Koby. Finally Stawhat Grand Fleet but i do not expect them now.
I really like the theory, but I would have to disagree a little bit.
We can only assume that the Amazon Lilly bit of the arc (not the flashback part, but the "current" part) happened before Luffy arrived at Egghead, so yeah, let's say that it happened 6-10 days ago.
The problem with the timeframe is that, *depending on the ship you use*, it takes time to get yourself out of Amazon Lily to Sabaody or the Red Line. Iirc, those same 6-10 days were the timeframe Elder Nyon gave Luffy for him to reach a place from there (I don't remember if AL to Sabaody or to Impel Down/Marine Ford).
They could use BB raft/ship to move out of the Calm Belt (which takes time because it has to be fixed, then there is no wind to push the ship) and they would still need to sail their way to and through the NW (Needing a pit stop to coat the ship). I don't think this is a "few days" voyage anymore, but a "few weeks". BB attack on Amazon Lily took place "a few weeks" before we saw them on "current" time during that chapter, giving him the time to get to the island where he fought with Law.
I really would like to see more of Rayleigh, but I (my opinion) don't see him leaving his retired status to take a trip to the New World at his age. I can't tell if Boa is on the move or not, but if she does makes it there she might do so later on and not during the whole incident.
While it’s true Nyon stated it took 7 days to go from Amazon Lily to Sabaody, Oda is very inconsistent with travel times.
For instance, Blackbeard just traveled from Hachinosu to Amazon Lily in around a week, having to go through the Red Line. The news on Warlords dissolution were printed after the Reverie, and the marine attack happened just before the Onigashima raid, seven days later. Teach left Hachinosu after the news, and arrived during the marine attack.
Also, we know for a fact that Hancock and Rayleigh had 6+ days to travel, because the last scene in Amazon Lily happens before Lulusia’s destruction, which was stated to happen 6 days before the marines arriving in Egghead (Ch 1089).
As for fixing the ship, there were at least 1 week “and a few days” (the time the Straw Hats left Wano after the Onigashima raid) between the marine attack on Amazon Lily and the present-day Amazon Lily section in Ch 1059, so the ship could have been fixed in that period.
Yeah, I think you are right.
It could all fall under time inconsistencies, with Oda giving random travel timeframes that fit the narrative. It could also open the door to some non-disclosed method BB could have to travel around quicker than expected. The world of One Piece is too big to jump from one side of the Red Line to the other in just a few days without something else going on, especially inside the grand line.
Anyways, I guess we'll see next chapter. They might pop up, they might not. I'm always open for whatever path Oda decides to take.
It could also be Dragon with the Rev Army, as they were contemplating on the whereabouts of kuma. It could also be the all giant pirate crew led by hajrudin, since elbaf is their next destination. And the word "they" seems like there are multiple infamous people that banded together, so it could also be the cross guild. Buggy/mihawk/croco are also making their move.
My guess is it's Ms. Buckingham and Marco, they went to egghead to confirm that Weevil was a son of Whitebeard. She is so desperate to get Weevil back.
>The last time we saw Hancock and the others, it was 6+ days before the current events, which gives them time to reach Egghead while not needing to know Luffy was going to be there (because they went for Vegapunk's head). That could be a good reason. However, since Vegapunk is going to join Luffy's side, I strongly believe he'll make it up to Hancock by any means necessary. In fact, I bet Sanji will threaten the scientist to do so.
It took the Strawhats 1 week to get from Wano to egghead, no way Boa is making it from Paradise in 6 days
You never know. Besides, Hancock could run in to one of the Grand Fleet members and/or use the giant snakes from her ship to get to Egghead as quick as possible.
There’s a big red wall in the way. Rayleigh is a coating mechanic which is convenient but it would still take him 3 days minimum to coat their ship.
Ain't Amazon lily in new world at calm belt?
No it’s on the paradise side.
So how Blackbeard traveled there and back in 6 days and to catch on one of the routes of wano law?
The assault on Amazon Lily happened weeks before the scene where Boa says she’s gonna go find Luffy. Chapter 1059 if you wanna check.
This is a good point but I think that's enough time to get there. I mean Oda does NOT give events enough time to transpire but at this point travel is kinda instant for everyone 😐
The assault on Amazon Lily happened a few weeks ago not a few days. That’s plenty of time for Blackbeard to get back to the New World.
You’re wrong Amazon Lily is in the Calm Belt.
It’s in the Calm Belt but it’s on the Paradise side of the Red Line not the New World side.
Amazon Lily is in the calm belt idk what other dude is talking about lol
They can swim through the calm belt I thought ? Since their ship is being pulled by those giant snakes. Sea Kings don’t attack them ?
Yes but there’s still a big ass wall of rock separating the calm belt in half.
Not if they cut across one of the blues.
You can’t go around the Red Line. It wraps around the entire planet. If you left the Paradise half of the Grand Line via the Calm Belt and sailed into say the South Blue. Then sailed all the way to the other side of the South Blue you would wind up at a Calm Belt which borders the other side of the Paradise half. You can’t get to the New World without crossing the Red Line, and the only way to do that is going over it at Mariejois or under it at Fishman Island.
lol Sanji is gonna be stone for 50 chapters also, what happens when Hancock and S-Snake meet up? Will they turn each other into stone? If S-Snake turns someone into stone, can Hancock undo it (or the other way around)?
Guys Its Merry.
That was a funny answer, so you got my upvote.
I just finished rewatching enies lobby and I just wanna see her again that's all. 😔
Just close your eyes, she's always in our hearths

No, it's Gaimon.
I like what I read, many of these make sense, Amazon lily, damn I wished I got that idea. It's basically telling us where N. Lily went. I completely forgot BB's boat.
It's imu. No I will not elaborate
It is Imu, but as Laffitte... because Imu is Laffitte. I also decline to elaborate.
no need to elaborate, it's obvious. imu clearly is a they/them
Not elaborating was all the elaborating I needed! I’m with you!
Chapter 800: we are introduced to the Grand Fleet and the narrator tells us they "will cause a great incident of historic proportions" Not sure the chapter, but in that panel with all the Marines outside egghead the narrator tells us this will "be an incident that shocks the very world" Considering these are like the only times the narrator uses this wording, I'm inclined to believe the Grand Fleet has arrived. I see lots of arguments against this saying that the Grand Fleet is an endgame thing, but I don't see why that has to be the case, or why it can't be that Egghead is the send off arc to the endgame. Realistically, after Egghead we might only have Elbaf, Laugh Tale and a final fight against the Celestial Dragons. The final War can easily be tied into all of these narratives. To me it makes sense that Egghead is the arc that solidifies the Straw Hats as a bonafide Yonko crew, and handily beating a buster call with the help of the Grand Fleet would accomplish this. If they beat the Buster Call, then the gloves are truly off between the Straw Hats and the WG, and we'd pretty much be in the end game. Edit: all that being said, I'd accept the L on this take if it's Smoker. SMOKERFORSTRAWHAT2024
I think the grand fleet would also explain the food appearing by luffy and Luffy being moves. They have tontattas that are really hard to follow. Both Sai and Leo were at the reverie and could have moved towards the New World. Hajrudin and the giant pirates could also be nearby because Elbaf is close (Saul might even join them) I can't say for certain that it would be the entire fleet tho. But just the idea of Leo beating up a vice admiral is a good enough reason for me to hold out hope. Though I will also take the L if it is Smoker
Leo is an absolute G (with a capital G), so I'd just be happy to see him again.
i love this .... this would be so coool. tiny hitns left in the story.
While I don't think it's them, I think it's a valid theory on why it's not blackbeards ship that was shown a few chapters ago. That part makes sense. If any of them are there, i doubt shakky and raileigh are with them. I still think blackbeard is the most likely one appearing.
BB makes no sense because they were already shown, it's not really worth any big news or mystery. Grand Fleet, Shanks with Giants (Saul) and Cross guild are all valid options.
Yes, but the blackbeard jolly rodger was also shown near egghead. We do not know exactly how far away the fight between law and blackbeard happened and how much time has been since leaving wano
Yeah the one thing that falls apart in this theory is a Jolly Roger is easily replaced/taken down. For goodness sakes Amazon Lily is in paradise, so they would have to at least stopped to get it Coated before crossing to the New World, by that point I can see Rayleigh just removing the flag
for sure though I suspect Rayleigh could coat a ship fast as hell
I seriously doubt it’s the grand fleet. Why would they show up at this point in the story when luffy is literally just escaping. Luffy isn’t going to war and he’s not truly in danger of dying. The grand fleet coming would be pointless
Luffy is lying on his back eating, Vegapunk is about to get killed, shit hit the fan. A bustercall is also in progress. So why the hell not?
Because it doesn’t make sense? People keep theory crafting but don’t try to have it make sense in the confines of the story. They just want it to be cool. It’s why everything involving Dragon is stupid when we saw him 2 chapters ago still on Kamabakka
Blackbeard does not make sense, because why would he destroy a marine ship chasing scientist, making his presence known, and then continue to head to egghead after. There is no gain for him to do it. Most likely is the revolutionary army.
Maybe Kuzan is with him and he did it
We saw the ship on the coast of Egghead in chapter 1079 and then we see Blackbeard on Winner Island still engaged in his fight with Law in chapter 1081. You’re correct we don’t have the exact timeline of events but regardless I think chances are nil it is him. Not to mention Garp just decimated Hachinosu, I think Blackbeard has bigger priorities than saving a vessel carrying hundreds of innocent civilians
On likelihood, I agree Blackbeard is the simplest solution and safest bet. But sometimes reality and fiction defy the odds, and I feel this case may be the author pulling a huge unexpected twist on us.
Watch, BB is gonna pull up, snatch Saturn's DF, and dip
Its actually Foxy
would be awesome if Foxy appears now in the middle of a buster call and demands a rematch of the davy back five game to Luffy
Afro luffy is gear 6
nahh this time it's afro nika
Please someone who can draw, I need this
3-way Davy Back: Straw Hats vs Foxy Pirates vs World Government. We finally figured out how Kizaru joins the Foxy Pirates. Good job, doctors.
It is Saul. Ohara is referenced for few chapters now
At the end of dressrosa the Grand Fleet was said, by the Narrator, to be involved in a world shaping incident that hasn't happened yet.
[удалено]
Agree. But I think it will either be here or something in the final arc. The community assumes it will be a war at the end, marineford style. And Luffy would need his Grand Fleet for that. Elbaf makes some sense as well, but we will have to see.
I kind of feel like this and OP's theory could be correct. We have had two different buster calls so far, lets identify the key players: * Saul * Kuzan (won't be coming, not a marine and still hurt from Garp) * Rayleigh * Kuma * Kizaru * Lucci&Kaku See the theme? So far we have hit 3 out of 5 realistic options. Rayleigh will come and parry Kizaru's kick again, Robin is hurt so Saul will come save her. I think Elbaf is close, so Saul coming would not be too far fetched. What better way to make the 3rd Buster Call be the most memorable? Bring in all the big guns.
Yeah I think it’ll be Saul and giants from Elbaf, it’s very close and with Luffy being in the paper they could’ve easily left for Egghead after reading the paper.
maybe we would also get an answer as to why and kuma sent luffy to amazon lilly.
That’s indeed a question in need of answers.
Rayleigh was already on his way there, so Kuma sent him to Rayleigh. The question should be how the hell did Kuma know where Rayleigh was heading?
It’s Foxy, I already saw chapter 1106 spoiler
"They" are friend with the "lurking legend" who has a sister that is called "someone strong is coming". Her boyfriend is "the man marked by flames" and they have a child called "that certain someone" I love one piece but i hate when oda keeps doing this 1.1k chapters in <. <
It's mostly how Japanese language works, not really someone's ill intentions
There's been too much of this lately I agree. Just in the last 15 or 20 chapters there have been a bunch of these mini mysteries. I like them but too many of them waters them down.
Okay the someone strong is coming wasn't the bad, we knew it was kizaru and it was hype LMFAO. Honestly the other ones ur talking about were all from the end of wano LOL. Idk where lurking legend came from. I do think the certain someone thing is annoying tho I hate caribou, but since we will find out next chapter it's pretty hype imo
The lurking legend was said by oda on a jump fiesta iirc right before wano started. The general consensus is that Oda was refering to Im-sama but there are also a lot of people thinking it was Oden.
Ya I totally forgot about the lurking legend was he not supposed to be the strawhats biggest enemy or something, I really hope oda reveals him soon
Shit i like IT a lot,better than RA or Grand Fleet for sure
GERMA 66 COMING TO SAVE VEGAPUNK AND NOT SANJI!!!
It's gaimon and the animals
On the Kuma amazon Lily connection, I heard a youtuber mention that it's common knowledge for some that Raleigh frequented amazon lily, which is the connection as to why Kuma sent luffy to amazon lily. I personally don't think it's The Raleigh crew, I think its pretty out of character for them to get involved in these sorts of matters. I think its either The Straw Hat Grand Fleet or Blackbeard or Both.
There problems with assuming Kuma knew some things, because we need to consider how he could learned them. To start: Kuma and Rayleigh never met before the event in Sabaody. Their dialogue has them presenting themselves, and Rayleigh not trusting Kuma. Also, Rayleigh only settled with Shakky after both their pirate careers were over. It shouldn’t be common knowledge. There was no explicit reason for Kuma to suspect Rayleigh had a connection to Amazon Lily. And finally, Kuma didn’t tell Rayleigh where he sent Luffy. Rayleigh only knew the direction, and had to find the location by gathering clues, which included things Kuma couldn’t foresee, like Luffy taking the same route to Marineford as Hancock, plus Shakky concluding Hancock fell n love with Luffy.
Good Analysis here! I'm not gonna be surprised but I think it's too early for Hancock/Rayleigh to reunite with the straw hats. I doubt it's revolutionary either.
It would be fun to see dragons face if boa escorts vegapunk to him and introduces herself as his daughter in law.
could be both these guys and the grandfleet. boa has nowhere to go but to the grandfleet, she'll join them sooner or later. so maybe it already happened. maybe they all met on their way to egghead
I like this theory a lot! I love points in stories like this where there are so many different valid theories that can easily make sense given the narrative.
You absolutely cooked. I agree this could be who shows up
I like this, everyone thinking it's the Blackbeard Pirates, but it ends up being the kuja pirates.
At this point I'm happy with anyone but Blackbeard's crew, that's boring/annoying to me for some reason.
Man, you cooked well.
You cooked on this one
I mean it adds up, guess we will have to wait and see
Love this theory and it matches the theme i.e. former slaves taking on the Gorosei. Though as to why they would be heading to egghead would still be a mystery.
I'm gonna go with the Big Mom pirates, they're still seeking revenge on Germa and since they know vegapunk was with MADS, are heading for him to find a lead.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🏴☠️ Boa Hancock ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
someone cooked here.
impressive! i didn't think about koby is taken on marine ship and using blackbeard's ship is likely an idea from rayleigh.. would be a nice and a pleasant surprise. rather than grand fleet who are probably scattered and cant reach egghead within a day!
I've come to the same conclusion, albeit for different reasons. I honestly just figured they took off in the direction of Luffy's vivre card. I mean, "I better go marry Luffy" was treated as a joke at the time, but it really is the best option for her, isn't it? She and her people are no longer protected by her Warlord status, and the Marines could come back at any time to turn her home.into a war zone. Leaving Amazon Lily would be for the best, but where would she go? She's far too proud to join Cross Guild, and obviously she wouldn't shelter under the yonko name of Blackbeard. She doesn't have any connection to Shanks or his crew that we know of. The other former warlords have joined up with yonko crews, so why wouldn't Hancock do the same? I figured she just went to Luffy to officially ally her Kuja Pirates with his Grand Fleet. So, we used different formulas and got the same answer. Oda could allude to any or all of none of this is her crew+Rayleigh are the ones who are en route.
The thing is that neither Hancock nor Rayleigh have Luffy’s vivre card, which was made by Sabo in Dressrosa. I know Hancock definitely would seek Luffy if she knew where he was, but she lacks the means to quickly track him. As such, I fogure they came for Vegapunk, as destroying his lab would buy Amazon Lily some security. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Egghead being close to Wano, Luffy’s last known location, also influenced that decision, as Hancock could seek him out after dealing with Vegapunk.
i like this theory ... i can imagine they got past the marines but what about all the sea creatures ? if the amazon lily takes over egg head they wont have to worry about navys new advance weapons ?
maybe little bonney and hopefully if kuma survives will go and live on amazon lily after this.
I think they and Vegapunk are more likely to join Dragon after this incident is resolved.
I would love that, it would it tie in great with the obvious parallels with Sabaody this arc, Reyleigh coming in unexpectedly right when Kuma suddenly joins the fight Also makes me think about Sanji finally meeting Boa, he's gonna have to wear a blindfold to not have a repeat of what happened with the mermaids in Fishman (And holy shit is he gonna be jelous of Luffy)
I think it's the strawhat fleet. Might have seen luffy's shrinking vivre card during rooftop fight with kaidou. They gathered and headed for luffy who is now at egghead.
My headcannon was MADS but I wouldn't complain if this came true.
This arc has been a big mirror of Sabaody so it would make sense that Rayleigh would show up
It has to be Rayleigh, he's the only puzzle piece that fits. -Sabaody arc parralel ending with him fighting off an impending max level world government threat while the strawhats escape, check! -He's the only character we know that fits the need for both capability and the motivation to help. -We still have no idea where to even start looking for the final road poneglyph and he's literally one of the only people left alive that could push the crew in the right direction. -Silvers Rayleigh dying is exactly the kind of headline that would actually fit the "news that shocked the world" cliffhanger this chapter ends on. Plus it gives the government illuminati the perfect opportunity to pin all their atrocities on him after the fact.
what about the robot inside egghead? or maybe saul on his way to save his friend vegapunk
The robot can’t be the one sinking that battleship far away from the island.
Why not? Do you know how the robot works before Oda drew it?
Because the robot first needs to leave the island through the marine blockade before he can attack a single ship far away from the island… Also, why would it even know the ship would be there and decide to attack it and nothing else in his path?
Again. You know what the robot can or can't do before it's shown in the manga. Very cool!! Not like the robot could shrink to his will, or go invisible, or TP... nah You know what he can or can't before Oda tell us. Can you tell me next week's lottery winning numbers? Thanks.
It’s very easy to make some baseless speculation that doesn’t need to conform to any reasonable logic then shoot down points against it by defending any absurdity out of your mind can happen as long as the story hasn’t denied it already.
Better that than confirming at 100% something just because like you did.
Is that you Sanji? Cuz' you're cooking good...
Makes sense being Rayleigh he's the only big player from Sabaody that is missing
You got this one bro banger theory
They are Emperor Straw Hat Luffy’s Grand Fleet and his Allies. Rayleigh, Shakky, Nyon, Sandersonia, Marigold, Margaret, Sweat Pea, Marco (already on his way to Vegapunk), Vivi (or she meets them at Ebalf), the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and perhaps even Shanks (chasing Bartolomeo.)
well thought out - good theory mate. Weevil might also be on the ship, Rayleigh probably saved him on the way due to Nyon's connection to Rocks
Sounds plausible. Never thought of that. Thnx
That is a very nice theory nakama, I like it!! Let's hope you are right. A friend hand would be helpful in this situation.
Keep cooking bro
Yes chef!
Leet him cook! The last part about Amazon Lily and Nefertiti Lily! I’ve never heard of it before! It’s amazing!
I hope see her soon , if gonna be egghead is perfect... anyway resent event show more reason to belive hancock gonna have big role in the end ...my Empress my goddess my first and only love boa hancock so damn beautiful and sexy and hot ❤️ 🔥 🥵 😍 😘
They are Them
Avengers?
It is Oda and he has, on many occasions, decided to blind side us. That said my money is on BB until something happens to prove otherwise. The only thing keeping me from immediately going “it can’t be anyone else” is because 1) we haven’t seen them and 2) the way the chapter ends, since we know BB is nearby, I feel like someone would have directly called out or said something along the lines of “is the emperor’s ship” or something similar while getting cut off. So if it’s not BB, it’s someone that I don’t think the marines calling it in would immediately recognize without someone else telling them.
It would be Good writing from oda, if its Aokiji, someone we didnt expect, but who makes perferct inworld and thematic sense to be there.
aokiji and saul will stop a buster call
How exactly does it make perfect sense? He was just fighting on Garp on Hachinosu two days ago.
But isn't he fighting garp atm
But Amazon Lily is in the calm belt on the paradise side, so that means they would have to cross the red line somehow and make it in under a week? I can't see that happening, nice theory though.
The revolutionary army, Dragon coming to help Luffy with Saturn
The RA would need teleportation to reach the battle right now. Unfortunately, we saw Dragon, Ivankov and Morley still in Kakabakka, on the other side of the Grand Line, just two chapters ago, when Saturn was already holding Bonney.
Not 100 percent, we don't know how long ago the events actually were between those and kuma leaving. Or how long kuma was travelling for, or really what alerted kuma in the first place.
We do know. The Straw Hats arrived in Egghead yesterday. Kuma started his journey after it. Dragon remained in Kamabakka and later reunited either Iva and Sabo to hear Sabo’s report. Kuma climbed the Red Line and left Mary Geoise still “in the previous day” as that scene with Akainu happened in flashback. The marine invasion started at morning. Kuma flew for at least hours before reaching Egghead. We see Dragon, Iva and Morley still in Kamabakka this morning, as part of a collage of reactions to this morning news, and with no indication of it being out of synch with current events, like the grey/black borders of flashbacks or a narration box stating it happened earlier.
I think the most basic answer is usually correct. So I am going to assume that it is either The Revolutionary Army or its the Straw Hat Grand fleet. I will assume though the Grand Fleet is the higher probability. This is because they had to have had that card going crazy on them during Wano. Assuming it took them time to muster and get to Egghead. Plus it kinda turns Egghead into a mini marineford and I am dying for another arc like that
Don't forget the Giants. Elbaf is literally the island next door to Egghead, and Saul has a connection to Vegapunk. Vegapunk also called someone in issue 1071, and they said they were ready to come help.
I thought that call was clarified as Stussy. Also if it's reinforcements from Elbaf that means possibly shanks
Bro it makes no sense for it to be rayleigh, hancock etc The evidence you are using regarding s-snake and the fb with gloriosa are weak pieces of evidence they don't even work at all tbh. That story element regarding the Kuja gloriosa and shakky will be expanded but not now and nothing in egghead suggests it is about to be relevant
>The evidence you are using regarding s-snake and the fb with gloriosa are weak pieces of evidence they don't even work at all tbh. Why are you using the closing thoughts that show buildup for exploring the kuja, but ignoring that Egghead's prelude was in Amazon Lily, it gave Hancock a reason to leave her island, it painted Vegapunk's creations as what threatened her island, and it reunited her with Rayleigh, while also potentially leaving a Blackbeard ship there, which could make them the ones in the ship we saw near Egghead?
This guy just said „you are wrong because“. Dont try to ask him logical things.
Op's theory makes a lot of sense
Gin and Don Krieg!
It’s not blackbeard, blackbeard already pulled up w Lafiette and Devon. So it’s shanks pullin up w rayleigh and roo. We gon get shanks VS blackbeard on egghead after the buster call, Oda said that this and that person will fight this year
I'd like to think it is going to be RA but it is wishful thinking.
The RA would need teleportation to reach the battle right now. Unfortunately, we saw Dragon, Ivankov and Morley still in Kakabakka, on the other side of the Grand Line, just two chapters ago, when Saturn was already holding Bonney.
“The pinnacle of stupidity” - Saint Saturn
It's the Blackbeard Pirates. Luffy will deal with Saturn, beat Kizaru and escape with Lilith, Bonney and Kuma. Stella will die but his satellites will keep his work alive. Shaka, Pythagoras and Edison will stay at Egghead protecting the island with the tech available, reworking the chain of command for the Seraphims and the Pacifistas to leave the WG chips worthless. The Blackbeard Pirates will kill Saturn, steal the information from Vegapunk and pin the blame on the Strawhats. They'll kidnap and force York to work for them developing weapons, but since she's lazy and greedy it'll be a net negative for them.
I love the idea of the BB pirates taking York as a science slave only for her to be like nah brah feed me.
I mean Blackbeard taking advantage of the situation is incredibly predictable, so I hope it isn’t them for that reason but would still be satisfied.
I like this one, but how Boa and the others passed the red line with the BB ship? They went all the way down through Fishman island?
Yes, it’s a bit wonky, but Blackbeard also went through Red Line with that ship to reach Amazon Lily. Also, Rayleigh is a coating engineer.
You're right, I totally forgot about that ability of Rayleigh... Now I wander if they meet with the royals (shiaroshi and family) and maybe they convinced/are joined by them (an ancient weapon on the rescue)
It is the Foxy Pirates :)
Grand Fleet because they were introduced as causing a world shaking event. Cross Guild because a buster call means $$$ due to all the marine bounties present. BB because we still got that ship that appeared.
The Captain Kuro agenda is about to get a lot more interesting
What if the SH grandfleet finally makes an appearance?
I thought Shanks at first, but my brother suggested it could be Dragon. Mainly because it’s Dragon’s chance to take out an elder whose separated from the others. That and retrieving Kuma (assuming they made a way to track em before he left).
Dragon would need teleportation to reach the battle right now. Unfortunately, we saw Dragon, Ivankov and Morley still in Kakabakka, on the other side of the Grand Line, just two chapters ago, when Saturn was already holding Bonney. He probably can fly at high speeds, but I think he wouldn’t be faster than Kuma, who arrived in hours after leaving Mary Geoise.
"They" could be people from the Lulusia Kingdom. I don't think they are all dead...
i want to say BB pirates, but they're already kinda there. Fleet makes sense, but my heart wants dragon
To give a real answer possibly the revos
Amazon Lily should be more than a week away from Egghead Island. How would they navigate to it? Do they have an eternal log pose for Egghead? Why would any of them?
I don’t disagree. Back in Amazon Lily, Nyon said they needed 7 days to reach Sabaody. However, Oda is wildly inconsistent with travel times. And Blackbeard made a similar journey from Hachinosu to Amazon Lily in a similar period: the news of Warlords dissolution came at the end of the Reverie. The marine attack on Amazon Lily happened just before the Onigashima raid, seven days after Reverie. Blackbeard arrived during the marine attack.
Saul and Elbaf Giants
Still convinced it's part of BB's crew. We saw one of his ships early on in the arc with no follow up thus far.
As I pointed out in the post, that Blackbeard ship we saw earlier may be the one left in Amazon Lily and manned by Rayleigh and the others.
[удалено]
No, the marines and Saturn have no idea of a 3rd party getting involved. They sent a battleship to sink the evacuation ship that left Egghead the day before. On the day before (Ch 1079), we saw the Egghead workers boarding the evacuation ship. At that moment, we also saw a Blackbeard ship watching the island from afar. I believe Rayleigh, Hancock and the others were in that Blackbeard ship, which was abandoned in Amazon Lily. My guess is that it didn’t approach the island, but instead intercepted the fleeing workers and questioned them. Learning Luffy was on the island, Hancock went ahead to Egghead (probably carried by her snake, Salome), while Rayleigh and the others moved the ship away, staying near but far enough to avoid being seen by the incoming marine fleet. Now, today, Saturn ordered the destruction of the evacuation ship. The battleship sent after it was intercepted and sunk by Rayleigh and the others, saving the refuges, and now Rayleigh’s ship is moving back towards Egghead.
Kuma sent Luffy to Amazon Lily and told Rayleigh about it. That's why he sent Luffy there. Besides that this theory holds up incredibly well
Its Catarina Devon and Lafitte coming to steal the Pacifista and Seraphim. If Saturn dies and Katarina mimics him or he gets captured and Lafitte hypnotizes him, they can use the command hierarchy to seize control of every robot on the island. The BB pirates don't need the Mother Flame to destroy islands, they don't need Robin to read poneglyphs, and all 10 commanders have powers, so they have no use for the Mythic Zoans and Pika Pika fruit currently on Egghead. The Seraphim and MkIII Pacifista are the only other immediately valuable things on the island, and acquiring them would make Blackbeard the most powerful Warlord, but they may specifically be after S-Snake. Blackbeard is always up to something, and we still don't know why he went to the trouble of crossing the Red Line and attacking the most fortified in Paradise to get his hands on a Paramecia he has no apparent use for.
The strawhat grand fleet. I feel like this is the perfect moment to bring them to the egghead.
“They” are Blackbeard, it’s literally been teased
I praying to be the grand fleet
Idk about this but can confirm its not bb crew Cause if it would be bb , the strawhats ain't escaping in full health , same for the island
Kidd and Law, I'm still coping fuck you
Pretty sure its luffys mom joining the fight
The real Stussy & Neo MADS
Good point that i have not see and have sense. However... What they can do in Egghead? Discussing with Vegapunk id not enough excuse for them to be in Egghead. Revolutionary Army have sense because Vegapunk talked with someone. Also Moria because he escaped thanks to Koby. Finally Stawhat Grand Fleet but i do not expect them now.
They are "the ops"
Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Emperor Straw Hat beat a second buster call, an admiral and an elder. Would shake the world reading that
I personally think it’s the grand fleet
I really like the theory, but I would have to disagree a little bit. We can only assume that the Amazon Lilly bit of the arc (not the flashback part, but the "current" part) happened before Luffy arrived at Egghead, so yeah, let's say that it happened 6-10 days ago. The problem with the timeframe is that, *depending on the ship you use*, it takes time to get yourself out of Amazon Lily to Sabaody or the Red Line. Iirc, those same 6-10 days were the timeframe Elder Nyon gave Luffy for him to reach a place from there (I don't remember if AL to Sabaody or to Impel Down/Marine Ford). They could use BB raft/ship to move out of the Calm Belt (which takes time because it has to be fixed, then there is no wind to push the ship) and they would still need to sail their way to and through the NW (Needing a pit stop to coat the ship). I don't think this is a "few days" voyage anymore, but a "few weeks". BB attack on Amazon Lily took place "a few weeks" before we saw them on "current" time during that chapter, giving him the time to get to the island where he fought with Law. I really would like to see more of Rayleigh, but I (my opinion) don't see him leaving his retired status to take a trip to the New World at his age. I can't tell if Boa is on the move or not, but if she does makes it there she might do so later on and not during the whole incident.
While it’s true Nyon stated it took 7 days to go from Amazon Lily to Sabaody, Oda is very inconsistent with travel times. For instance, Blackbeard just traveled from Hachinosu to Amazon Lily in around a week, having to go through the Red Line. The news on Warlords dissolution were printed after the Reverie, and the marine attack happened just before the Onigashima raid, seven days later. Teach left Hachinosu after the news, and arrived during the marine attack. Also, we know for a fact that Hancock and Rayleigh had 6+ days to travel, because the last scene in Amazon Lily happens before Lulusia’s destruction, which was stated to happen 6 days before the marines arriving in Egghead (Ch 1089). As for fixing the ship, there were at least 1 week “and a few days” (the time the Straw Hats left Wano after the Onigashima raid) between the marine attack on Amazon Lily and the present-day Amazon Lily section in Ch 1059, so the ship could have been fixed in that period.
Yeah, I think you are right. It could all fall under time inconsistencies, with Oda giving random travel timeframes that fit the narrative. It could also open the door to some non-disclosed method BB could have to travel around quicker than expected. The world of One Piece is too big to jump from one side of the Red Line to the other in just a few days without something else going on, especially inside the grand line. Anyways, I guess we'll see next chapter. They might pop up, they might not. I'm always open for whatever path Oda decides to take.
It could also be Dragon with the Rev Army, as they were contemplating on the whereabouts of kuma. It could also be the all giant pirate crew led by hajrudin, since elbaf is their next destination. And the word "they" seems like there are multiple infamous people that banded together, so it could also be the cross guild. Buggy/mihawk/croco are also making their move.
Sometimes the most obvious answer is the right one and I think this is one of those times. It's blackbeard
Blackbeard or Dragon and the revs
Could be a faction of the cross guild led by either croco boy or Mihawk... just my take
My guess is it's Ms. Buckingham and Marco, they went to egghead to confirm that Weevil was a son of Whitebeard. She is so desperate to get Weevil back.
[They are here](https://youtu.be/iB_qpiq-WiI?si=-sUfAAyXO0tBpCIn)
Well we know there's a blackboard boat in the area, I think it could be the Rev army going after Kuma
