    So is Oda deploying Jerry Garcia so there's once again antagonists that clearly out rank Luffy for raw strength, or do you suppose he's not even particularly strong?

    It's hard to say how strong they are now but I suspect that they were at least very strong in their prime. It takes a lot of power to be able to hold people like the Admirals on a leash. Then again maybe Imu is the one who is holding everything together. But now that I think about it, people don't talk a lot about the Gorosei and we never even heard them fighting even in Roger's era... at least from what we know so far. I'm also curious to know what their connection with Shanks is. If they're not intimidated by him, I guess it tells us a bit more about how strong they could be.

    Well, I'm guessing he might not be Whitebeard's kid by natural means, if you follow me.  Just speculation, of course, but it's hard to imagine family man Whitebeard casting his own kid aside.

    I always thought he was just some kind of imposter using Whitebeard's name for fame but I guess now that I think about it Vegapunk seems to have everyone's Lineage Factor...

    I'm okay with it.  We've known Vegapunk would have something to do with that since WAY back when Sentomaru was name dropping him while commanding the Pacifista.

     

    Plus it looks like it's going to pull a lot of minor loose ends back into story relevance (Weevil?).

    What does Weevil have to do with this?

    Damn Oda did Sentomaru dirty getting one shotted like that. 

     

    Meanwhile Lucci with a new Awakened form. That allows him to keep up with Luffy. So much for this being a short fight.

     

    I would love it if Boa's clone rebelled because it falls in love with Luffy.

     

    Spoiler

    Lucci sure felt that Mole Pistol though. I don't think Lucci will last very long. Kizaru might be a problem though.

    Spoiler

    - I can't get over flashback Vegapunk's design lmao

    -Saul is alive! It never felt to me like he truly hit the can since we would only see him being totally frozen but no death       confirmation. But it still feels so good to know that he's alive! Aokiji always did shady moves.

    -Seeing Robin's happy expression gave me feels

    -I guess present time Vegapunk took chunks out of his brain to make the 6 others? His whole design is so ridiculous. Oda never   ceases to amaze with his goofiness. You can definitely see that his design is based on a wild version of Einstein. 

    -Elbaf is looking like the next destination in this final arc.

    -Dragon already seems to have some insider knowledge about whatever secret the WG is holding since he's already adamant at destroying them. Was it because Clover told him stuff or something else happened?

    LORE PIECE!

     

    So much to unpack this chapter that I have to read it one more time.  Seeing that ancient giant robot rocks because ever since the flashback with Nico Oliva and Ohara  revealing the lost advanced civilization  (still my top 5 OP chapters) I have been waiting too long  for Vegapunk's arrival. As I've been theorizing Vegapunk has been more or less discovering past tech from the forgotten past and using it as inspiration. The impressive part is that he has the knowledge and skills to use this knowledge to create his own tech or offshoot abilities. Shaka being Logic is probably the closest to his true self, and his words might be the truest intentions. His design looks vaguely inspired by something but I can't remember what...

     

    It also seems like Vegapunk has more or less mastered the lineage factor as he can splice different races to create novel hybrids, also including devil fruit abilities and even latent skills like with the Jimbei seraphim knowing fishman karate. At first I thought it was only Zoans that could be mimicked since they are more biological in nature but now it seems even Paramecia abilities are possible. Logias and mythical DFs might have special properties to make them even more challenging to replicate and go beyond the standard rules of replication. In any case, having these seraphim present around the world and functioning as pseudo-Shichibukai presents an existential threat not only to our Strawhat superheroes  but the entire world. The game has changed because it's crazy how much harder, better, faster, and stronger than the previous Pacifistas due to having super-robust Lunarian physiology, hinting Lunarians are augmented beings themselves.

     

    As for Vegapunk himself, it seems he's been able to divide his core biological functions into individuals, but essentially he's human after all. As we're near the end of the line I hope we'll get lucky and he'll unpack the whole mystery of the void century and the name of this mysterious island before CP-0 comes for him; I've waiting nearly 18 years for this epic discovery.

     

    And as a final note, the combat abilities of a Fishman that can swim and utilize different materials as water is pretty broken and a fresh concept. Throwing "solid" metal or stone as if it was water can not be underestimated. I wonder when Jimbei and the seraphim make contact if there'll be a father and son relationship, well if its even alive and can sense emotion that is...

     

    Good analysis as always White Oda.

    Indeed...

    First thing's first. Im's divine judgment, what a ridiculous display of power. I know that Sabo is alive unless those lasers were infused with haki or seastone energy, I'm pretty sure this was done by Uranus— one of the ancient weapons. I wouldn't surprise me that Im itself has control over it and maybe it was reinvented by Vegapunk. The crazy part is how it was able to mete out punishment so quickly, if it's an airship it was able to reach Lulusia in moment's notice, and if it is a homing weapon then no one is safe.

     

    The second theory is that this is a display of Im's power alone, which is even more terrifying. It would also explain that creature that was so big it made Thriller Bark look like a rubber ducky in the ocean. Im might be able to project its presence anywhere on earth in an instance, but that's a whole other can of worms.

     

    I enjoyed Zoro being the obstinate first mate and using cold hard logic against Luffy and co.'s brash behaviour.  He did the same when Usopp decided to leave the crew back in Water 7 and also when he took Luffy's pain on Thriller Bark. A real G through and through like always.

     

    Jewel Bonney was saved by the heartless Kaido and also seemed to be quite familiar with Mariejoa, so my guess is that she's a former Tenryuubito or affiliated with someone powerful. Since we know Akainu gets a hard on for killing any pirate or person he doesn't like on sight. I can't wait to see what reveals she makes next chapter since she interacted with the Revolutionaries during the reverie and I'm 99% certain her true form is that of the elderly woman, not the kid or "prime" version of herself we've seen.

    Honestly, I hope a meeting between Kaido and Luffy will be happening soon, as I've been waiting to see bloodlusted Luffy now that he's gotten some OP upgrades. 

    I think that it was implied that Lulusia was already going to be targeted and Sabo happened to be there coincidentally.

    I'm a little disappointed, honestly.  Thought it was going to be a good addition, and Oda had already cut down a TON of characters from the narrative space just by getting us out of Wano.

     

    Oh well, at least we're on to brand new business next week!

    Which characters? Only one I can think about is Hyogoro
