If any arc deserved a sequel, that's it.
This arc is so lore heavy, it's great so far. Are we going to be leaving Egghead soon? Maybe this isn't the next major arc, like how Zoan was to Whole Cake + Wano?
Looks like old man Vegapunk is acting alone in dissapearing the Cipher Pol ships since he realized he knew too much!

Some Ultimate Defense there Sentomaru.
I wonder if that cloud thing that appears behind their back is going to be a common facet for Awakened Devil Fruits going forward. Like how Oda didn't think of the black skin thing for Armament Haki until several years after he introduced the Haki.
I just realized Luffy's fruit is a Zoan fruit now. Which means it should have 3 forms. I wonder if his current form is the hybrid form, or the full Nika form.
Yeah so far we've only seen the cloud thing with awakened zoans. This is probably going to remain consistent since Kidd and Law didn't have cloud things with their awakened abilities that they used on Big Mom.Originally Posted by DarthEnderX
Though, also strange, despite Luffy and Lucci being awakened zoans, they are still completely different than the Minos we saw way back in Impel Down.

A shame, would have been great.

Looking forward to Chopper's awakened form. Awakened human!
Human human no depression jutsu!

I wish the workflow/technology that allows fights to be animated like this consistently existed 15 years ago.
I actually found this fight to be really ugly.
I get they're going for something artistic, but in practice, a lot of it looks like Home Movies squigglevision.
Maybe because Luffy's rubberness is more pronounced in gear loony tunes.
Also, I forgot to marvel at the existence of a Devil fruit history record.
I associate that animation with the "once every 240 episodes" motion of yesteryear. The only time I thought it was jarringly ugly was when they did these weird little sweaty cuts during Dressrosa.
I'm honestly hoping that explanation for the origins of fruits is bullshit. The "coalesced will of the human desire for evolution"? That's fucking dumb.
He did say it was just his theory though. So hopefully he's wrong.
I was expecting them to be a leftover product of the tech advanced country that got wiped from history, or for the fruit tree to be a supernatural manifestation of some sort- perhaps an actual devil or another wiped out race more so than 'human desire'. That does sound dumb.

Bonne really doesn't make for a sympathetic charact3er when she's throwing a literal child on the ground demanding answers she can't handle anyway.
Garp back in action? I look forward to his fight with Blackbeard, if he were home. I expect he's not returning there again anytime soon what with getting ponaglyph coordinates from a weak link like Law.
Wonder what Kidd could possibly do at Elbaf to forward the story along?
Good job getting multiple plates spinning; now can you keep them there?
You...you know he's not really a child, right? He's the old man she thinks killed his dad. She just debuffed him.
I'm hoping that's where the Strawhats where headed with Vegapunk.
Just, reinforce that Enies Lobby parallel. Only this time, instead of chasing CP9 to a second island, CP0 is chasing them to a second island.
He is, until the effect wears off (nice to have that confirmed).
She's still picking on the weak, attacking while asking questions and not listening to any reason from a non-combatant. She used the fact that she knew he would try to help her when 'hurt', an endorsement of his character, to get the upper hand on him. Bonnie is trash. I believe she's only 13 in actuality, but her characterization is just the type I like least.
Interesting if this winds up being Water Seven part two.

Well that's an interesting twist.
A clone of Whitebeard/Kaido/Big Mom's old pirate crew, made by Vegapunk's old pirate crew.
I wonder if Kuma's body is trying to get back to his memories.
That was the cp-9 lady, right? I thought her fruit power was bubbles? When did she get vampire powers?
No. That was Kalifa.
Stussy was introduced as a CP-0 member.
The post-credits scene does a brief rundown of her.
Oh, thanks for the clarification.

Hah, so Stussy is a clone of Weevil's mom.
Which means Weevil is probably Whitebeard's clone. Not his son.

So, it seems the seraphim aren't free of control, but one of the Vegapunks is a narc and their 'orders' given to kill err'body cannot be superseded by a higher authority because there is none? That seems like a silly design flaw if 'orders in' cannot be stopped by matching authority.
The slight scene jumping, like Vegapunk being in the holding cell, is throwing me off of the timeline, unless the old man Vegapunk we've been seeing these last few episodes is an impostor.
I'm thoroughly interested in where this is goin if nothing else!
I don't think that's what's happening.
When they showed the tiers of Seraphim authority, the 5 Elder Stars are even higher than Vegapunk himself. And a few episodes ago, they showed one of them was on his way to the island. I'm assuming he snuck onto the island somehow and has overridden the Seraphim's authority.
