Given that Wano took a year for just one night or something i'd say that's a given lol.

Since we know that the real Vegapunk is in infant mode with Bonney, and the Pacifista are following orders that overrated the minor Vegapunks, doesn't that mean that they're getting orders now from one of the Five Elders?  
 
Wonder if the mystery opponent is one of the Five, or an agent conveying orders via snail.
 
Either way, I have a hard time buying that the Pacifista alone would pose much of a threat to Luffy and Zoro if they were to actually go all out.

LMAO at those faces at the end. Oda and One Piece will go down in history for their incredible plot lines but also the most hilarious ugly facial reaction panels.

Possibly to stay off the World Government radar while he's harboring high profile fugitives.
 
As for the action on Egghead Island itself, I'm a little annoyed that there's further layers of mystery and surprise when we're already set up for a high drama escape sequence.  Only thing I can figure right now is that Oda is stalling the crew so that he has more time to develop the Bonney-Kuma narrative.

I have not a single ounce of hope in this "Western modern audience" translation of a unique series like this ever being good in any way shape or form. CW/ Netflix-fied One Piece makes me shudder at the thought. 
 
The funny thing is an honest fanmade short would probably be more charming even with cheesy SFX and homemade costumes, because it'd be produced by people with a genuine understanding and passion for the series rather than this crap. Like I don't care if the Luffy's actor is Brazilian or w/e this isn't what makes One Piece beloved.

I'm totally against it, One Piece's wacky character designs and weird powers don't lend itself to live action at all. Literally no need to do this, but the curiosity in me wants to see how bad this train wreck will be

I will try but still feel redoing the manga is dumb. It would be better to expand the franchise if you are doing live action and focus on some other facet of the big story. You could do a mostly original story with a young Garp or a number of Marines/pirates and probably get more folks since it could be stand alone plus lower budget costs with what powers or abilities are shown or having to worry about matching the main cast.

I guess it's happening... So far looks like it's trying to respect Oda's vision. Still I don't trust netflix.

Still don't need this. No one asked for it. I don't care if it somehow turns out good I won't watch because I already have what I want in the manga and yes even the anime has its moments.

Not that this means everything in the One Piece world but we've seen the size of the Gorosei compared to Admirals and Shanks and they're larger than normal. I have a feeling their fealty to Im is due to being living relics of the Void Century, likely surviving due to Ope Ope no Mi.
 
I said this a far while back but Doflamingo's grand plot in Dressrosa was basically replicating the machinations of "Mariejoa's Secret Treasure" aka Im. Im clearly has immortality, Doflamingo wanted the same immortality via Law performing the surgery. Im has an entire kingdom with a central core of ultra-loyalists maintaining everything, Doffy had the same for the most part. Doflamingo's Ito Ito no Mi ability is basically the physical manifestation of the puppeteering people to do his bidding, Im has been doing with the World  Government and its allies for centuries.
 
Doflamingo was trying to copy Im's playbook but couldn't due to Strawhat (Joyboy)  Luffy aka "God's Natural Enemy", especially since Im's main factor of control is their complete anonymity. It seems even the Admirals and CP0 are completely unaware of Im's existence. This allows a level of passive control and tyranny of society Donquixote couldn't imagine, which made him a clear target.
 
How does this tie into the Gorosei? Their loyalty was probably rewarded with immortality and power ages ago, the Gandhi dude with the giant almost certainly Legendary sword likely wielded it at some point. Each of them probably has some governance over a quadrant of the OP world. For example, the blonde youngest one controls the North Blue, etc...  In any case, this doesn't have to mean they are as proficient at fighting as a Yonko, but I'm sure they're no slouches. 
 
The real problem is that a Gorosei's command to the Seraphim  supersedes all other instructions, making his presence incredibly dangerous by default.
Oda did an amazing job of building up to this moment with Bad Future elderly Stussy.
 
PEAK PIECE!!!
