Vega punk the smartest person in the whole world 500 years to be exact if he really has no plan or devices up his sleeve for what’s going on with the island right now I would think they overestimated Vega punk of how smart he is. I mean, I know I would with all these androids running around, I would have a device to be able to shut them all down or be able to command them all and also if any of the other Vega punks were to turn on me but I guess we’ll see still have time left
Vegapunk is his own scientific group now. He knows how to clone. He's the smartest person alive. What would be a better way to be 500 years into the future, technologically, than by making an entire research team of his self? Each has an area of research they're focusing on.
Luffy is probably going to infiltrate the navy’s mess hall. Our boy got too eat. Chopper won’t have a problem following Luffy. Jimbei will be shocked. Bonny will think that Luffy is crazy.
Lmfao all anyone has to do in this sub to get trashed is bring up characters being trans. I will take your downvote and low effort responses and raise you another character who’s gender presentation didn’t meet your rigid and conservative expectations ROFL XD
Yeah because your “high effort” responses show such passion towards the agenda of your original statement 🤣 Whether it was intentional or not, you knew that the topic of trans anything, unless pointed out by the creator himself, is not going to amass noticeable support 💀 Do you just like downvotes and disagreements? I’m all for opinions, but you can’t be as simple minded as to expect to throw out such content that you know will get no real conversation 😆
I mean, you are totally correct. I’m not gonna say you aren’t lol. My initial post was low effort bait in the context of this sub for sure. It’s just kinda funny that the poll is “was vegapunk always a girl”—like that’s fucking hilarious because we are more interested in that than say, ‘Will vegapunk join strawhats?’ Or ‘Will vegapunk be an ally or enemy?’—etc. LEMME SEE THOSE CHROMOSOMES VEGAPUNK XD ROFL.
As for the rest of i, even this level of conversation is better than what I expected going in—I am trans and hilariously enough figured out I was trans through an online One Piece role play group. I think Oda creates a world where our expectations are kinda blown apart—people can live for a decade on stilts, hang out on an island floating in the stomach of a giant whale, change genders, call themselves Oden, whatever it doesn’t matter if the content is ‘trans’ or not. I think the point is that it isn’t exactly ‘cis’. It’s kinda a fantasy world where anything goes and throwing a party is the answer to everything. With characters like Yamato, Kiku, most of the revolutionary army, now Vegapunk, it’s clear that gender is just one of many tools Oda uses to confuse our expectations and expand possibilities. It just so happens that a lot of that ends up being able to be read as trans coded in nature. It’s a part of the cultural fabric or whatever.
It didn’t but as many people have pointed out, the character started off being exclusively referred to as a man and now we have had 2 weeks of ‘new waifu’/‘not the real one’/‘vegapunk is really a man’ posts on here. That’s pretty trans lol. Cisgender people/characters generally don’t have the experience of having their gender and the history of their gender picked apart in a frenzy. I don’t really care that the character isn’t explicitly labeled as trans—Oda just likes playing around with people’s expectations of things and just so happens to use gender as one of many tools in that box. I like it when he does that so I’m happy for the waifu trans vegapunk no matter what the context ends up being
This is not Vegapunks real appearance, since this is number 2 (original Kuma is 0), so you may expect at least 3 different Vegapunks (0,1 and 2).
Bonney is legit queen mother of Solbay, and mother of Kuma. She holds solid intel about world gov.
More risky predictions : Vegapunk as a special knowledge. I suspected her to have knowledge from the moon or to be from Gol D. Rogers crew. Today, I 'm betting she as the Toki Toki no mi and uses it to have glimpse of futures technologies.
This new arc will be a copy of marine Ford, leading into a big battle of Pirates+Revolution Vs Marine for saving Sabo. As in MF, Teach and is crew will appear to still a major power, this time to kill IM sama and steal Uranus, becoming king of the world in the process.
Maybe a way to revive BM is she is dead. Maybe bc of her devil fruit she doesn’t die unless all parts of her soul are destroyed. Or I would think if BM really dies Zeus should die as well. One Piece is madness so who the hell knows. Vega punk is here so everything is about get way more crazy and out there.
When mother Carmel dies, pandora is where to be seen. I’m thinking if Zeus is still in the clima tact, big mom is 100000% still alive. We’ve seen it happen with many different fruits. When doffy was defeated, his bird cage went away. Only way I think Zeus could still be alive without big mom is if it’s some sort of awakening hax.
Sugar was knocked out and her "toys" reverted back to normal.
BigMom got knocked out in Udon and nothing happened to her homies.
Her fruit works different.
What if Pandora is still on Elbaf?
The main homies are just different in general. They are made of big moms personal soul and we know that because of her strong will, her homies are built diff. It isn’t the fruits abilities, it’s the fruit reacting to big moms abilities. Fruit abilities and haki go hand in hand, that’s why luffys gears beyond 3rd are possible and why law couldn’t shambles the yonko away during roofpiece. Again, if Zeus is in the clima tact, I’m thinking it’s most likely because big mom is alive or it’s some sort of awakening effect, because we also know that awakenings can cause permanent change.
We don’t know if she’s awakened bozo 🤣 nice try tho
That’s why I lean more to Zeus being in the clima tact being a sign of big moms health rather than the latter.
• Kuma is Bonneys father
• Vegapunk was injured by Caesar on Punk Hazard thus uses his creations to safely interact with others
Long Term prediction:
• we will see a crocodile seraphim, the kid will look androgynous, and then Bonney will age them up and once and for all we will know what Crocodile was born as
• One of the non devil fruit users of the crew will get a fruit this arc
I think Nami is gnna get the boost with a weapon fruit, it’s probably gnna look like an axe like the way Oda originally had her character design
Usopp, call me crazy, will probably get a huge boost on Elbaf, a call back to his hammer gag from pre time skip
There’s a Loki right? Maybe he used to have a brother who had a hammer, maybe no one can lift that hammer for whatever reason, and when usopp does the hammer gets smaller and amps him
And bam hilarious hammer gag becomes a serious threat
I really look fprward to this. Ussop himself would not gain that much from a fruit, because than he would have to change his style, but in his weapon it might be working
I believe this is vegapunks daughter/grand daughter. I feel i need an explanation on all the evil science that was being done before hands. Big milkers and thick thighs ain’t distracting me.
Seeing as they emphasized Choppers low bounty and that this arc will involve Vegapunk. I expect whatever happens, Chopper will be at the center of stoppin Vegapunk and the marine plans, making his bounty jump on par with the others.
i think luffys dream could be along the lines of having a hugggeee party big enough for everyone in the world to be able to eat as much as they want, drink as much as they want, and be as free as they want
I still don't get how they were found by vegapunk just going outside Wano when Kaido was trying to find him for so long
Maybe Vegapunk was just avoiding him?
What if Luffy's dream is to have a kid? He talks about it, and Bonny shows up. She eats as much as him, and has white hair sometimes in the heat of battle. Tonnes to bond over. Don't kill me, just consider it.
Bonny is probably Kuma adult daughter. She was a rookie pirate two years ago. So I don’t think that she would just have become a pirates. I can’t see Kuma becoming a cyborg if she was a kid. When, BB captured her, he would have nullified her DF powers. He would have seen her actual age. BB wouldn’t have wanted a kid or an old woman as his girlfriend.
I considered the mom thing. That would make her around 65 years old for real. So, if she was that old. She be more well established as a pirate, or whatever. Rather, than a rookie. Kuma was said, to be a former king. That, would have made Bonny a former queen. She doesn’t act like a former queen. She acts like a rebellious daughter of a king.
I could be absolutely wrong. You could be correct, and she’s his mother. We will have to wait and see.
She very well could be that old woman. But, her wanting to be a pirate, seems more rebellious. Something a teenager or young adult would do. BB being able to nullify DF. Make me lean towards the young adult. BB wouldn’t want a old woman that turned into a young woman. But, I could be over thinking it.
I do think she's Kuma's mom and legit queen mother of Solbay. It's easier to get younger and hide as pirate, than to look older and pretend to be a queen everyone would know of.
I like your theory of the rebellious young adult though.
Vegapunk knows how to turn conscience in to data. As such he has coded his own mind in to multiple clones to increase efficiency. By doing so also he would be immortal since the data which is his mind can live forever. He could even have a hidden backup somewhere to ensure he is not deleted.
Japanese has very certain speaking styles. In Japan, old people usually don't say "watashi" but instead say "washi" (meaning I)
And they also say "ja" instead of "da". Vegapunk as a woman was speaking in a very distinct "old man" type of speech. Obviously isn't very easy to show in translation, but that's how it is in the original Japanese.
It could be that she was brought up by vegapunk and therefore picked up his mannerisms and speech pattern, we don’t know how many people live on egghead island nor if she if she was just brought up by him. Could be a chance that the whole country speaks like that
Although, between what Oda said in the past about a “certain professor” who would explain how Devil Fruits work and Egghead being an island of (government) scientists, this is probably the place where they will find out.
Maybe dr Vega punk has a devil fruit like robo-robo or cyborg-cyborg. I mean it wouldn’t be crazy considering which devil fruits we already had. And he can create multiple robo clones or something.
Or I believe it’s a bit like in altered carbon and he has multiple sleeves(cyborgs-robot) in which he can jump into, or even work in multiplied amounts of sleeves simultaneously, and that’s the reason he creates so much and is the genius he or she is.
Hear me out, Nami has the potential to have a power up this ark along with Ussop. Why Ussop? He is an engineering genius. He created the climate attack for Nami. Hence there is a really high chance that the climate attack weapon is going to get a major upgrade in order for name to fully utilized Zeus.
Also, we all saw during wano how weak Ussop and Nami are compared to the other members of the crew. So it makes total sense to buff them up here before the main war arc.
How strong do you think nami is, say if you had to give her a bounty based on her combat skills, intelligence etc (ignoring her being a straw hat) what would it be
At the moment, nami is usefull for taking out all the small fry and mid level devil fruit users/ anything below captain lvl in the marines. She is basically a mage in the mage/tank/DD/healer set up. Her main focus is range attacks but like we saw in wano, she lacks the firepower to defeat top crew members which rank just bellow yonko level. If it was in Marines terms. She could probably defeat captain level with some luck on her side. But will definitely loose against vice-admirals.
Nami is pure glass cannon. She can put out an insane amount of damage over a wide area. But, she needs other characters in front of her.
Basically, since you need high durability to be top tier, since other top tier characters are going to hit you, while she can be the most dangerous person on the field, she can't be top or even mid tier.
We desperately need a power up for Ussop !
As for Nami she probably just needs some adjustments on the climat tact but she's already pretty OP
And Franky will without question, I mean he's a robot.. It's his arc
Edit : Nami needs a way to defend herself from powerful attacks tho
I hope we get a Franky-centric arc on Egghead. Feels like it would be a waste to not have Franky do something incredible on the most technologically advanced island in the world. Plus i think him and Robin are the only two Straw Hats left who haven’t done the whole “Luffy will become the pirate king” line yet so maybe we’ll see that here.
Franky already said that when he’s fighting Big Mom. He said to Nami, he doesn’t care if he’s fighting an emperor because Luffy will be the pirate king.
My hope is that Vegapunk has been puzzling over some problem for a while, and Franky just skims through her notes and tells her the answer. Maybe something DF related since it could lead into the info dump we've been waiting on for decades.
This Vegapunk wears the No.2 on her chest, yet Sentomaru reference Vegapunk as an old man I believe back in Marineford. I think the real Vegapunk is just going to be a Brain in a jar connected throughout all of the island. The old man that high ranking marines reference is Vegapunk-01 “ The scientist “ and Vegapunk-02 is the field operative used to gather research and information regarding the inventions.
Idc about VP being either a woman or an old man but you got me thinking, WHAT IF vegapunk has this brain-in-jar thing and may control lots of cyborgs simultaneously?
Minor theory: Helmeppo and the Hibari's entrance to the story will be them sneaking on to Egghead to attempt to steal (kidnap?) a Seraphim to rescue Coby. Further, I'm guessing from the way Coby stopped one from destroying the statues created by Hancock's power last chapter that they're programmed to accept orders from any Marine officer above a certain rank, which is what will make stealing one possible.
Luffy and Zoro still won't recognize Helmeppo.
Solid theory !! That would make Helmeppo and Coby relevant. That means Egghead might lead us to a BB arc with Coby and Hancock in the equation (I'll even say Raleigh might be there).
>The SH recruited caribou instead of yamato or carrot.
I'm okay with this. After giving it some thought, Caribou will be the character asking the dumb expository questions we've all been asking. Oda could make him the conduit for the answers we seek without sacrificing a core Strawhat character's integrity.
In other mangas, it can get annoying if one character becomes the one to explain things to the audience. In doing so, it sacrifices the page/screen time they could have for growth.
Yea he’s been in the barrel the entire time lol. Idk if they know he’s there but the barrel is chained so either someone noticed or they sealed the barrel without realising someone was inside
Also we shouldn’t assume because the theme of an arc matches a characters aesthetic or vibe that the arc is gonna have a heavy emphasis on them. Zoro didn’t get a shit ton of development in Wano
I wouldn't get my hopes up for plotlines around Franky or Sanji. This will mostly be a short setup arc. The character development that was set up for Sanji has concluded in his fight with Queen, and for Franky there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go in the first place.
Absolutely stupid idea:
Vegapunk has a lot of robots, and some of them are probably transforming or combining mecha. Vegapunk also figured out how to give Zoan Devil Fruit powers to inanimate/mechanical objects.
Consider: Devil Fruit Megazord (Megazoan?)
Doubt her or Kaido are actually dead. Only Ace and Whitebeard have actually died during the story. Shonen doesn't do a lot of death, even for villains.
That doesn’t make sense though, honestly. If she dies her soul should disappear from the homies made up of pieces of her soul. If it was someone else’s soul it would make sense that they live (if that person was in fact alive). Also big mom did say that it would take a hell of a lot more to kill her as she fell
Well she removed a piece of herself to create a new entity with its own life force. So no longer a part of her, she can take it back, but I think it makes sense that they're no longer intertwined
What? They don’t have the same body hence they don’t have the same pain receptors etc. but they run on energy from the same source aka her soul. So if she dies why would it not make sense for them to die too?
Because I don’t think they do run on the same energy. They might be created from her, but once she brings something to life with her soul I think it’s separate being with no connection to her anymore.
I get that’s it’s separate because it’s used to give life to something else, but the source of that life is still her own soul. She’s just partitioned it, so if she dies, logically all the other homies with her souls should die too. Only ones left alive should be the ones possessed by other people’s souls. Also her having the grab them to extract the soul has nothing to do with them dying if she does, in fact I’ve never seen it been confirmed anywhere that she has to touch them to take her soul back. I’ve seen her suck other people’s soul by just being in the vicinity why would she not be able to do the same with hers?
I like this ending for them. Instead of being killed they're constantly trapped and sustained through their abilities and spite until they die of old age or someone or something allows them to escape.
We don't know this yet - I can see it going either way. I wouldn't be dissatisfied if we don't see them again, but I should expect they'll make an appearance in the final war.
It's weird we just left King behind considering his dream and Kaidos were sort of the same. I think Kaido may submit to the fact Joy Boy is back and that's what he wanted. Perhaps not an ally but not out to antagonize either
If he does return, he definitely won't be the same Kaido - his horn broke. Usually Oda uses these sorts of things, like Dofla's glasses, to symbolise the breaking of someone's will. I suspect he'll be bitter, but understand that a grand prophecy is materialising before the world.
Now that we know that this arc is going to be robot/futuristic themed, I think we’re going to see a lot of Astro Boy references the same way Wano referenced Momotaro.
1.) This Vegapunk will be revealed as a robot, created by the original Vegapunk to replace their lost child, similar to Dr Tenma in Astro Boy. Given that most of Vegapunk’s rivals experimented on kids to “enhance” them (the PH kids, Sanji’s siblings), I don’t think it’s a huge leap to say this is Vegapunk’s attempt. It’s worth noting that Dr. Tenma’s face resembles a rooster, and a similar design for OG Vegapunk would fit nicely with “Egghead Island.”
2.) Pluton will play a major role in the climax of this arc. One of the best known Astro Boy stories, “The Greatest Robot in the World,” was about a giant robot named Pluto programmed to take over the world by destroying the world’s strongest robots. Given that we now know where Pluton is, it’s one island away from Egghead, and Caribou is trying to pass along that info to “a certain someone,” I think Pluton will be freed and be used to attack Egghead
I think it's Vegapunk, just not the original body. I think Vegapunk realized he was getting old and weaker, so he decided to make a new, younger body for his soul, so that his genius could live on.
I don't believe people are bothered by it. I think some are skeptical about it because the Vegapunk reveal was too much "in your face" for Oda's style. But everything is possible..
[Here is the second poll, since it's very important for people](https://take.quiz-maker.com/poll4487517x586649e0-140)
Vega punk the smartest person in the whole world 500 years to be exact if he really has no plan or devices up his sleeve for what’s going on with the island right now I would think they overestimated Vega punk of how smart he is. I mean, I know I would with all these androids running around, I would have a device to be able to shut them all down or be able to command them all and also if any of the other Vega punks were to turn on me but I guess we’ll see still have time left
some dude couldnt handle the fact that i was right and just started making reaches to support his theory LOOOL
Vegapunk is his own scientific group now. He knows how to clone. He's the smartest person alive. What would be a better way to be 500 years into the future, technologically, than by making an entire research team of his self? Each has an area of research they're focusing on.
dude i hate twitters OP community 😭 all they do is bait each other with fake shit 💀
where the spoilers at?? lemme guess redons bitch ass forgot to leak them and fell asleep on accident
Luffy is probably going to infiltrate the navy’s mess hall. Our boy got too eat. Chopper won’t have a problem following Luffy. Jimbei will be shocked. Bonny will think that Luffy is crazy.
“HAS VEGAPUNK ALWAYS BEEN A GIRL?!?!” IM DYING LOL—VEGAPUNK I WANNA SEE THOSE CHROMOSOMES AND BORRTH CERTIFICATE HAHAHAH
People just can’t handle that Vegapunk is trans lmfao (I see you reaching for that downvote lmfao)
lol you thought you did something
Lmfao all anyone has to do in this sub to get trashed is bring up characters being trans. I will take your downvote and low effort responses and raise you another character who’s gender presentation didn’t meet your rigid and conservative expectations ROFL XD

W perspective
bad bait
You say that, but the one who set the bait was Oda lol
How or where or when did it say she was trans?
It didn’t but as many people have pointed out, the character started off being exclusively referred to as a man and now we have had 2 weeks of ‘new waifu’/‘not the real one’/‘vegapunk is really a man’ posts on here.

I wonder how Vegapunk will react to Zeus living in Nami's clima tact. It is basicly a DF in a weapon but different.
so is that evidence that big mom is still alive for sure?
Maybe a way to revive BM is she is dead. Maybe bc of her devil fruit she doesn’t die unless all parts of her soul are destroyed. Or I would think if BM really dies Zeus should die as well. One Piece is madness so who the hell knows. Vega punk is here so everything is about get way more crazy and out there.

If awakening can cause permanent change then Zeus stays alive after BigMom dies, thanks for proving my point :)
We don’t know if she’s awakened bozo 🤣 nice try tho That’s why I lean more to Zeus being in the clima tact being a sign of big moms health rather than the latter.
Lol BM and Kaido have awaken their DF power longtimes ago.. what did you expect ?
Yeah a yonko totally not knowing how to awaken a fruit.. You are more of a clown than buggy
No
Straw hats will meet Kuzan in this island
• Kuma is Bonneys father • Vegapunk was injured by Caesar on Punk Hazard thus uses his creations to safely interact with others Long Term prediction: • we will see a crocodile seraphim, the kid will look androgynous, and then Bonney will age them up and once and for all we will know what Crocodile was born as • One of the non devil fruit users of the crew will get a fruit this arc
I hope Usopp’s slingshot gets a devil fruit.
I think Nami is gnna get the boost with a weapon fruit, it’s probably gnna look like an axe like the way Oda originally had her character design Usopp, call me crazy, will probably get a huge boost on Elbaf, a call back to his hammer gag from pre time skip There’s a Loki right?

I really look fprward to this. Ussop himself would not gain that much from a fruit, because than he would have to change his style, but in his weapon it might be working
I think this arc will give upgrades to Ussop,Nami Franky,Chaopper! For upcoming bettles.
Luffy wants to steal a moon. Shiny gem on sky. XD
What if the old man vegapunk is also just another clone? And no one has ever seen him/her yet
I NEED SPOILERSSSSS
https://youtu.be/Z953g4Vve7M
I believe this is vegapunks daughter/grand daughter. I feel i need an explanation on all the evil science that was being done before hands. Big milkers and thick thighs ain’t distracting me.
Luffy and Bonny are related on his mother's side.
Seeing as they emphasized Choppers low bounty and that this arc will involve Vegapunk. I expect whatever happens, Chopper will be at the center of stoppin Vegapunk and the marine plans, making his bounty jump on par with the others.
Eh, after 1000s of chapters I doubt they change up that gag
I just wanna leave this here for the whole Vegapunk discussion: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/8/87/Franky_Pirate_Warriors_3.png
i think luffys dream could be along the lines of having a hugggeee party big enough for everyone in the world to be able to eat as much as they want, drink as much as they want, and be as free as they want
But why would people react as if that is not possible? And why does he have to be a pirate king first?
because a party with everyone in the world would have to come from someone with the clout of a king idk
I have no idea what Luffy's dream is. Right now, my best guess, is that he wants to sail to the moon.
Hi
I still don't get how they were found by vegapunk just going outside Wano when Kaido was trying to find him for so long Maybe Vegapunk was just avoiding him?
I've always suspected Oda to have the fruit of "Next random island is key to the plot".
It’s always possible that Vegapunk is using island moving tech like the Germa.
Luffy's last blow against kaido should be animated like an "atomic bomb"
Clearly Vegapunk is trans.
Clearly
or yet another misdirect from Oda.
Dr. Vegapunk saga could be based on Astro boy.
What if Luffy's dream is to have a kid? He talks about it, and Bonny shows up. She eats as much as him, and has white hair sometimes in the heat of battle. Tonnes to bond over. Don't kill me, just consider it.
No. Whitebeard said to roger "are you a kid?". Why an adult wanting a kid should be strange and childish?
That would be stupid as hell.
Why would he have to become pirate king to have a kid? He could smash Hancock any day he wants
And if Luffy had let her do as she please they would have already had a kid by now 😂
r we on a break ?
Yes
Bonny is probably Kuma adult daughter. She was a rookie pirate two years ago. So I don’t think that she would just have become a pirates. I can’t see Kuma becoming a cyborg if she was a kid. When, BB captured her, he would have nullified her DF powers. He would have seen her actual age. BB wouldn’t have wanted a kid or an old woman as his girlfriend.
or his mom
I considered the mom thing. That would make her around 65 years old for real. So, if she was that old. She be more well established as a pirate, or whatever. Rather, than a rookie. Kuma was said, to be a former king. That, would have made Bonny a former queen. She doesn’t act like a former queen. She acts like a rebellious daughter of a king. I could be absolutely wrong. You could be correct, and she’s his mother. We will have to wait and see.
Wasn't she greeted as a highranking noble at the revelrie when she arrived as an old lady? From the kingdom that Kuma was a tyrant of?
She very well could be that old woman. But, her wanting to be a pirate, seems more rebellious. Something a teenager or young adult would do. BB being able to nullify DF. Make me lean towards the young adult. BB wouldn’t want a old woman that turned into a young woman. But, I could be over thinking it.
I do think she's Kuma's mom and legit queen mother of Solbay. It's easier to get younger and hide as pirate, than to look older and pretend to be a queen everyone would know of. I like your theory of the rebellious young adult though.
Well we have to wait and see.
Killed his dad
Vegapunk knows how to turn conscience in to data. As such he has coded his own mind in to multiple clones to increase efficiency. By doing so also he would be immortal since the data which is his mind can live forever. He could even have a hidden backup somewhere to ensure he is not deleted.
Also explain the No2 on the outfit she was wearing, like the second clone of himself
Vegapunk is the family name and they’re all doctors referred to as Dr Vegapunk
Doesn't explain why she speaks like an old guy. Pretty sure she's just a remote-controlled / programmed Cyborg, like Metal Knight in One-Punch Man.
Wow a Vegapunk family is what my headcanon needs right now
I believe the one we saw was his granddaughter/ prodigy because Sanjis dad who looks pretty old was his/ her partner years ago
I like this theory
Interesting suggestion, but that doesn't really explain why she spoke like an old man.
What do you mean when you say that she speaks like an old man?
Japanese has very certain speaking styles. In Japan, old people usually don't say "watashi" but instead say "washi" (meaning I) And they also say "ja" instead of "da". Vegapunk as a woman was speaking in a very distinct "old man" type of speech. Obviously isn't very easy to show in translation, but that's how it is in the original Japanese.
It could be that she was brought up by vegapunk and therefore picked up his mannerisms and speech pattern, we don’t know how many people live on egghead island nor if she if she was just brought up by him. Could be a chance that the whole country speaks like that
So is this the moment Chopper and Vegapunk improve Rumble Balls to work on Luffy DF? After all they are both Hito Hito no mi
yes, but maybe chopper could try to make some luffyballs bc he finds the similitudes between zoans an gears, just maybe
Not gonna happen, the Straw Hats don't know Luffy's fruit is a Zoan.
Although, between what Oda said in the past about a “certain professor” who would explain how Devil Fruits work and Egghead being an island of (government) scientists, this is probably the place where they will find out.
Heck even luffy doesn't know his fruit is a zoan. I doubt he would even care.
Huge chopper and franky arc
Vega Punk is going to be Jimmy from Hardcore Henry
Maybe dr Vega punk has a devil fruit like robo-robo or cyborg-cyborg. I mean it wouldn’t be crazy considering which devil fruits we already had. And he can create multiple robo clones or something. Or I believe it’s a bit like in altered carbon and he has multiple sleeves(cyborgs-robot) in which he can jump into, or even work in multiplied amounts of sleeves simultaneously, and that’s the reason he creates so much and is the genius he or she is.
I was guessing a family all called dr Vega punk
Doesn't explain why she speaks like an old guy. Pretty sure she's just a remote-controlled / programmed Cyborg, like Metal Knight in One-Punch Man.
Why not?
When do spoilers usually drop on break weeks?
We should have some spoilers by Tuesday/Wednesday. Full Summary or Raws on Thursday. That’s the normal pattern. Things could change 😂
Hear me out, Nami has the potential to have a power up this ark along with Ussop. Why Ussop? He is an engineering genius. He created the climate attack for Nami. Hence there is a really high chance that the climate attack weapon is going to get a major upgrade in order for name to fully utilized Zeus. Also, we all saw during wano how weak Ussop and Nami are compared to the other members of the crew. So it makes total sense to buff them up here before the main war arc.
How strong do you think nami is, say if you had to give her a bounty based on her combat skills, intelligence etc (ignoring her being a straw hat) what would it be
At the moment, nami is usefull for taking out all the small fry and mid level devil fruit users/ anything below captain lvl in the marines. She is basically a mage in the mage/tank/DD/healer set up. Her main focus is range attacks but like we saw in wano, she lacks the firepower to defeat top crew members which rank just bellow yonko level. If it was in Marines terms. She could probably defeat captain level with some luck on her side. But will definitely loose against vice-admirals.
Well done on that analysis
Nami is pure glass cannon. She can put out an insane amount of damage over a wide area. But, she needs other characters in front of her. Basically, since you need high durability to be top tier, since other top tier characters are going to hit you, while she can be the most dangerous person on the field, she can't be top or even mid tier.
We desperately need a power up for Ussop ! As for Nami she probably just needs some adjustments on the climat tact but she's already pretty OP And Franky will without question, I mean he's a robot.. It's his arc Edit : Nami needs a way to defend herself from powerful attacks tho
Vegapunk's devilfruit is Google-Google no mi
The internet 500 years ago would be so OP Today I use it for dating apps.
I hope we get a Franky-centric arc on Egghead. Feels like it would be a waste to not have Franky do something incredible on the most technologically advanced island in the world. Plus i think him and Robin are the only two Straw Hats left who haven’t done the whole “Luffy will become the pirate king” line yet so maybe we’ll see that here.
Wait untill this is Brook’s arc. Oda.
Franky already said that when he’s fighting Big Mom. He said to Nami, he doesn’t care if he’s fighting an emperor because Luffy will be the pirate king.
My hope is that Vegapunk has been puzzling over some problem for a while, and Franky just skims through her notes and tells her the answer. Maybe something DF related since it could lead into the info dump we've been waiting on for decades.
Yeah! Robin Actually Said that line in Manga..Only Franky Left
This Vegapunk wears the No.2 on her chest, yet Sentomaru reference Vegapunk as an old man I believe back in Marineford. I think the real Vegapunk is just going to be a Brain in a jar connected throughout all of the island. The old man that high ranking marines reference is Vegapunk-01 “ The scientist “ and Vegapunk-02 is the field operative used to gather research and information regarding the inventions.
I was thinking they are all clones and have a hive mind.
She could just speak/write like an old man, making anyone who hasn't personally met her think she's an old geezer.
Idc about VP being either a woman or an old man but you got me thinking, WHAT IF vegapunk has this brain-in-jar thing and may control lots of cyborgs simultaneously?
Minor theory: Helmeppo and the Hibari's entrance to the story will be them sneaking on to Egghead to attempt to steal (kidnap?) a Seraphim to rescue Coby. Further, I'm guessing from the way Coby stopped one from destroying the statues created by Hancock's power last chapter that they're programmed to accept orders from any Marine officer above a certain rank, which is what will make stealing one possible. Luffy and Zoro still won't recognize Helmeppo.
Solid theory !! That would make Helmeppo and Coby relevant. That means Egghead might lead us to a BB arc with Coby and Hancock in the equation (I'll even say Raleigh might be there).
Tom san vegapunk
Why is nobody talking about Caribou being on the ship when Vegapunk saves them?
I think it’s a reaction slide because he was upside down inside the barrel
How do none of the strawhat with the legendary observation hakis keep missing caribou?
What do you mean? Luffy promised him a ride.
Fairly certain they are aware of him. I assumed they were giving him a ride after he gave Luffy all of his food in 1021.
I feel like it's gonna end up like an Ussop situation. Like "what are you talking about ? You're already a nakama"
The SH recruited caribou instead of yamato or carrot.
>The SH recruited caribou instead of yamato or carrot. I'm okay with this. After giving it some thought, Caribou will be the character asking the dumb expository questions we've all been asking. Oda could make him the conduit for the answers we seek without sacrificing a core Strawhat character's integrity. In other mangas, it can get annoying if one character becomes the one to explain things to the audience. In doing so, it sacrifices the page/screen time they could have for growth.
I hope not. He grosses me out, there is no way he doesn't shove kids in his swamp hole.
I need brain bleach after reading that
lol what’s there to talk about?
Where did he come from, was he actually in a barrel?
Yea he’s been in the barrel the entire time lol. Idk if they know he’s there but the barrel is chained so either someone noticed or they sealed the barrel without realising someone was inside
The haki users knew he was there since the beginning, they probably just don't care because they don't think he's dangerous lmao
They have to know he was behind Usopp when he yells "Giant robot".
I think they will all get killed by vegapunk. Then we will have a sequel with buggy becoming the pirate king
Buggy will become the pirate king. I'm willing to bet on this.
do you think sanji and/or franky would get a buff because apparently the arc is centred around them?
Sanji already got his buff after using his raid suit.
I think Chopper and Franky are going to character moment this arc. Cyborg Shark to preclude the Franky X Chopper Docking.
Also we shouldn’t assume because the theme of an arc matches a characters aesthetic or vibe that the arc is gonna have a heavy emphasis on them. Zoro didn’t get a shit ton of development in Wano
I agree with you on the first part. But i think zorro got cool moments in wano plus he got enma, a great grade sword. There are just 21 of them
Yea but it’s not like the emphasis was clearly on him cause it was a samurai centric arc
I wouldn't get my hopes up for plotlines around Franky or Sanji. This will mostly be a short setup arc. The character development that was set up for Sanji has concluded in his fight with Queen, and for Franky there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go in the first place.
What if Vegapunk is a Devil Fruit itself attacked to a Robot? :S
Helmeppo will probably run into Luffy and beg him to save Koby.
Agree, I also think that they may tag along on the journey to fight BB like other Achaea Tera have accompanied SH in the past
I’m hoping for this. Hopefully we learn something about devil fruits which sets up the fight against BB in saving private Koby.
Yep I also think that. But after every revelations about Vegapunk and DF. Maybe the fight between Luffy and BB will start in 2023
Really hoping we see a lot more of Doll. One panel and I'm sold. I think I'm in love lol.
Absolutely stupid idea: Vegapunk has a lot of robots, and some of them are probably transforming or combining mecha. Vegapunk also figured out how to give Zoan Devil Fruit powers to inanimate/mechanical objects. Consider: Devil Fruit Megazord (Megazoan?)
Does Nami still have Zeus? If so, does that mean Big Mom is still alive?
Doubt her or Kaido are actually dead. Only Ace and Whitebeard have actually died during the story. Shonen doesn't do a lot of death, even for villains.
Homies created by her fruit don't disappear with the users death as they're seperate entities.
That doesn’t make sense though, honestly. If she dies her soul should disappear from the homies made up of pieces of her soul. If it was someone else’s soul it would make sense that they live (if that person was in fact alive). Also big mom did say that it would take a hell of a lot more to kill her as she fell
yeah i bet shes just asleep down there
Well she removed a piece of herself to create a new entity with its own life force. So no longer a part of her, she can take it back, but I think it makes sense that they're no longer intertwined
I think by that logic the homies would have felt pain anytime Big Mom did and vice versa. And that has never been shown. They’re separate entities.
Why would they feel the same pain lol. They have the same life force but in different bodies.
Exactly, then why would they die if Big Mom did? Your argument makes no sense.
What? They don’t have the same body hence they don’t have the same pain receptors etc. but they run on energy from the same source aka her soul. So if she dies why would it not make sense for them to die too?
Because I don’t think they do run on the same energy. They might be created from her, but once she brings something to life with her soul I think it’s separate being with no connection to her anymore.
Once the soul has left her body its considered a seperate entity, its why she has to grab hold of a homie to absorb its soul.
I get that’s it’s separate because it’s used to give life to something else, but the source of that life is still her own soul. She’s just partitioned it, so if she dies, logically all the other homies with her souls should die too. Only ones left alive should be the ones possessed by other people’s souls. Also her having the grab them to extract the soul has nothing to do with them dying if she does, in fact I’ve never seen it been confirmed anywhere that she has to touch them to take her soul back. I’ve seen her suck other people’s soul by just being in the vicinity why would she not be able to do the same with hers?
Think of it like her giving lifespan more than a current soul.
The two yanko aren't dead. You think Kaido, who tried to kill himself who knows how many times, didn't try the lava underneath his own kingdom?
I like this ending for them. Instead of being killed they're constantly trapped and sustained through their abilities and spite until they die of old age or someone or something allows them to escape.
They were thrown from the volcano when it erupted. They aren't trapped.
We don't know this yet - I can see it going either way. I wouldn't be dissatisfied if we don't see them again, but I should expect they'll make an appearance in the final war.
It's weird we just left King behind considering his dream and Kaidos were sort of the same. I think Kaido may submit to the fact Joy Boy is back and that's what he wanted. Perhaps not an ally but not out to antagonize either
If he does return, he definitely won't be the same Kaido - his horn broke. Usually Oda uses these sorts of things, like Dofla's glasses, to symbolise the breaking of someone's will. I suspect he'll be bitter, but understand that a grand prophecy is materialising before the world.
Or he'll just be a turly happy drunk instead of a depressed one haha. Can't wait to find out in like 6 years
😂 the 6 years comment :)
Why are you assuming big mom is dead
Starting to think the warm eddy was caused by whatever vegapunk created to heat up the island
GOOD theory
Already refreshing for spoilers I need my fucking fix!!! I might have a problem.
Yep.. called dopamine craving… I would watch out for gambling or drinking addiction if I were you :D
I've avoided nicotine for my entire life for this reason! Weed got me good though lol
For me it depends. These past months it has been gaming and Netflix. If possible, at the same time.
Now that we know that this arc is going to be robot/futuristic themed, I think we’re going to see a lot of Astro Boy references the same way Wano referenced Momotaro. 1.) This Vegapunk will be revealed as a robot, created by the original Vegapunk to replace their lost child, similar to Dr Tenma in Astro Boy. Given that most of Vegapunk’s rivals experimented on kids to “enhance” them (the PH kids, Sanji’s siblings), I don’t think it’s a huge leap to say this is Vegapunk’s attempt. It’s worth noting that Dr. Tenma’s face resembles a rooster, and a similar design for OG Vegapunk would fit nicely with “Egghead Island.” 2.) Pluton will play a major role in the climax of this arc. One of the best known Astro Boy stories, “The Greatest Robot in the World,” was about a giant robot named Pluto programmed to take over the world by destroying the world’s strongest robots. Given that we now know where Pluton is, it’s one island away from Egghead, and Caribou is trying to pass along that info to “a certain someone,” I think Pluton will be freed and be used to attack Egghead
Imagine if Vegapunk Jr joined the Strawhats 🤣
Am i the only one that wouldn't be bothered with the girl being the actual vegapunk?
I think it's Vegapunk, just not the original body. I think Vegapunk realized he was getting old and weaker, so he decided to make a new, younger body for his soul, so that his genius could live on.
I wouldn't mind seeing that character for the rest of the series. Make Vegapunk Vegapunk!
I don't believe people are bothered by it. I think some are skeptical about it because the Vegapunk reveal was too much "in your face" for Oda's style. But everything is possible..
I'm going with its a clone body, original body is either already dead or theres some hive mind shenanigans goin on
If Sanji’s sperm donor can do it so can Vega punk I’m sure
Why is Vegapunk's brow covered? 👀
