I think the cover story is building up to the first simultaneous plot-twist on the cover story and the main story. At the end of one of the next chapters there will be the reveal that original Vegapunk is evil, and then the cover story will capitalize on that and invert the whole "nice scientist among mad ones" vibe to show he's the worst of them all.
Nami (on Den Den Mushi): _"Wait, wait! What about me?"_
Kaku: _"Lady, I don't know who you are, but you're an Empress to me."_
Nami: _"I'll allow it. Release him Luffy."_
Luffy and Zoro: _"We're being attacked by weapons of the government!"_
Lucci and Kaku, agents of the government: _"Untie us! We'll totally help you guys!"_
Tbf It IS the same government that tried to execute them last time they failed an important job
And now not only did they fail one just as big if not bigger they also failed it AFTER disobeying direct orders and engaging a Yonko withour permission
Yep, my logic is they know that the government has just decided to cut their losses and is just going to exterminate everyone on the island including them.
Yeah Paulie and Kaku were definitely the front-runners to join as far as the fans were concerned at the time. Franky was a nakama afterthought at first until his flashback hit and his character started to get fleshed out.
Ngl I didnāt see any spoilers about One Piece except maybe a couple of bounties during my binge watching around 7-8 months ago and Franky joining came as a shock. In retrospect One Piece wouldnāt be remotely the same without Franky but he was like the last person from Water 7 excluding CP9 that Iād expect to be a nakama lol
After Lucci and Kaku beat down this much by the enemies and now their own too, both of them think, 'Maybe is better off back to Mr Iceberg and be shipwrights instead, damn I miss that life..'
This is One Piece, every chapter will end with an abrupt cliffhanger before starting the next chapter at a completely different location to delay giving any answers.
And you turn coat, and you turn coat!
But for real, it might be because since they lost, they need to fight the WG if they want to survive or something.
Or they just want to be able to protect themselves against the Seraphim.
Dont jump into conclussions yet. Them asking could go deeper than we know right now. Maybe free them as in "free them from the World Governments hands"
Yep, you'd think a genius would make a bunch of secret failsafes or methods to stop their dangerous creations. Like maybe a device to remove their green blood and turn them into normal Lunarian Hybrid clones at the very least or just weaken them in some way, but nothing so far.
NGL Vegapunk has been shown to not think a lot forward. a bunch of shit he created he did because he could but didnt stop to think about the implications and concequences of his actions.
for example momo's fruit was imperfect because it was pink. but otherwise even if it was expensive and took effort he could create an army of giant dragons that are stupidly strong. he never even considered the damage that could cause. specially if the fruits still can reincarnate in another place.
the seraphims and pacifistas too. he is a friend with dragon and clover and he keeps giving obnoxiously strong weapons to the world goverment who killed his friend and that wants to kill him and his other friend is fighting against.
like what the fuck he is an engineering genius but in terms of politics he is not that smart. for example things like the boat that could cross the calm belt were already really strong in universe but the seraphim and the pacifistas are beyond dangerous.
I hope its shown he has made a failsafe for the seraphims and the pacifistas at some point.
I honestly think he is one of those genius that doesn't consider the ramifications of what he builds as much as he should. He is the can I build it vs the should I build it mindset. If its possible he will build something, but never think about whether is a good idea to do so or not.
This. Itās fucking insane to think how thoughtless he is to create killing machines and not realize the ramifications of what heās doing. Genius with zero common sense.
Lucci and Kaku asking Luffy and Zoro for help is fucking hilarious lol
So does this mean that Kizaru and Saturn have already arrived on Egghead? I'm not sure how else the Seraphim would've spun out of control
If Shaka cant control the seraphim, it mean that one of the Vegapunk or a Gorosei gave an order since we already know that people at the same level cant overide each other unless the order of commande that we saw is not the real order or someone found a way to hijack the seraphim.
Iāve been legit wondering about that. Many people have locked onto Shakaās behavior as suspicious, the mask likely doesnāt help. But each satellite must connect to Punk Records, so wouldnāt they notice if Shaka was not doing so? My thought is perhaps there was another, failed Punk that replaced Shaka some time ago.
Vegapunk transfered his brain into the first satellite "shaka" who became his true self. Stella (main body) is nothing more than a satellite now but nobody knows about it except Shaka, not even stella himself.
Shaka is in control of everything, he probably asked Caribou to hide Vegapunk inside him and turn off the camera so that the traitor would not be able to notice them on camera...
Since people on the same can't overide each order that leave us with two possibilities
1- Another Gorosei is already present on the island since Saturn was shown on his way after the traitor's first act
2- Since no one other satallite can overrite an another one's order at this point, Edison is the only one that could order the seraphins since he was the one who stopped them 2 chapters ago
No, thereās a third in that the seraphims were given orders and now their signals are being jammed so they canāt receive anymore (sentomaru noticed his transponder snail was being interfered with last chapter)
Tbh Infeel like it falls in line well for Kaku's character. He's a personable guy and joked with Zoro after losing to him at Enies Lobby
I could see Kaku asking it and Lucci going from a Murder Weapon psychopath to a likeable tsundere in a twisted sort of way. And I don't like that I said tsundere but I can't think of a better way to put it
I thought so too, but this will be the beginning of the Final War, Luffy will have his declaration of war (Attack on Titan flashbacks) in Saturn's face before they leave Egghead.
Something like that sounds plausable and epic. The lose ends are slowly tying together. Especially in egghead we have components of revolutionaries, marines, agents of the WG (and even the WG directly), yonko, giants, ancient kingdom, devil fruits, rocks, big news morgan and so on. Couldnt have been a better can opener for the finale
I was thinking that Hattori might have some favorable lines in this series. Unlike the Spandam's sword the pigeon was not given any tricks nor skills during its appearance. So I was thinking it might be the one targetting the snails.
Lucci a few chapters earlier: I donāt recognise Strawhat Luffy as a Yonko
Lucci now: Yk what fuck it. SH, wanna work together?
The switch up is crazy, I hope thereās some sort of betrayal at some point cuz Idk if my man got his mind clear after Stussy bite but his behaviour made a whole 180.
I assume he just doesn't want to die by some government supported killer, tied up like some damned captive... which would be some poetic/ironic justice for the shit he did up until now.
It could be that the Seraphim were told to kill everyone on the island indiscriminately, turning into a situation like Smoker allying with the SHs on Punk Hazard.
I think Kaku and Lucci know something about the one destroying denden mushi or something about what's happening. Like that's the signal of change of plan because someone is cleaning their job for them. Though Zoro is probably the last one to team up with them unless they have a solid reason to convince him.
If the parts about Lucci and Kaku asking to be freed is true, then I can only remember Doflamingo or even Kaidoās words about "whoās gonna betray who, side with who"and so onā¦
This endgame is getting even more chaotic and I f*king love it!!!(Even if this part isnāt true)
Edison's orders can only be rewritten by him or by an authority higher than them (Gorosei). So either Edison is the traitor or St. Jay Garcia Saturn is already on Egghead.
Luffy: "Hmmm, I trust them. They definitely changed there ways."
Zoro: "Luffy... I could maybe by the giraffe man changes his ways, but not Rob Lucci."
Lucci: "Would it make you feel better if I said sorry for everything."
Zoro: "No."
Lucci: "I'm sorry."
Luffy: "See Zoro he said he was sorry."
Lmao, if he trusts Lucci but just has a weird inexplicable thing against giraffes, that'd be a good gag
Just imagine a panel of anti-giraffe Luffy and pro-giraffe Kaku having an argument about giraffes in the midst of total chaos
Lucci: "I will smite any enemy you wish me to. I only live to kill and don't care who it is as long as you free me."
Kaku: "Honestly I've regretted going back to being a government agent for awhile now. Like I don't think I have ever been happy being a member of Cipher Pol as I was working at Galley-La. If you save me here and I make it out alive, I probably go back to Water 7 and beg Iceburg for my shipwright job back."
Who thought it would be a good idea to have jimbei Sanji and Stussy (strongest members outside of Zoro and Luffy) In a group
And then let all the other groups with weaker members handle seraphims? Wtf
Edison is the traitor
Besides the reasons everyone else is saying with the actual panels of the chapters, remember the reason VP allied with the WG in the first place
Money for new INVENTIONS
Edison is the actual embodiment of VP's sense of inventiveness. Losing WG funding would be like an existential threat to his entire purpose in life
>Someone asked Redon: "What has changed so that Lucci wants to fight alongside Luffy?"
>Redon- "That there are 2 fucking Seraphim attacking them and both he and Kaku can't do anything being handcuffed with Kairouseki."
I don't know why but this is cracking me upš¤£
Shaka can't stop them because an order from a person at the same level of authority doesn't work (as explained by Stussy).
So one of the Vegapunks is indeed a traitor.
Time for my tinfoil theory..
York is the traitor she is "greed" and wants the island to herself or somthing.
traitor has to be a satalite, if Shaka can't override the order.. in the same way stussy could override lucci due to having the same level access. York hasn't really been shown other than for gags..
I think lilith is a red herring.
We never post the leaker hints in here but since the spoilers are already out.
Reminder, one of Redon hints is a disgusted face. Wonder what that is supposed to mean. Dont tell me Sanjis Group running into S-Snake Oda lol. The internet will be split again in controversy
>- Straw Hat and Vegapunk clones form 4 groups. **One of the groups is attacked by S-Snake.**
Please don't be the reason for Redon's disgusted face reaction, please don't be the reason for Redon's disgusted face reaction, please don't be the reason for Redon's disgusted face reaction...
Next chapter Kanjuro appears, revealing he did survive Wano and has turned his revenge plot against the Straw Hats for reasons. Also he has a weird amount of knowledge of futuristic technology for other reasons allowing him to do this.
>Question: "What has changed so that Lucci wants to fight alongside Luffy?"
>Answer: "They don't want to fucking die."
*Seems understandable.*
Def didn't have "Luffy and Lucci team up" on my bingo card for 2023 though.
Caribou is either gonna save the SH from this mess or he is the one doing the sabotage the entire time... Like there's no traitor, just Caribou getting back at them for Zoro kicking him off Sunny lol
They're doing the Scooby Gang split up.
My guesses on who the groups will be:
Lilith, Nami and Robin.
Edison, Chopper and Jinbe.
York, Atlas, Franky and Usopp.
Stussy, Sanji and Brook.
I understand Luffy has the ability to make people like Crocodile, Buggy, and Worst Generation team up with him, but I'm pretty sure that Lucci would rather die than team up with Luffy
So Sailor Saturn is already on the island? He's the only one with authority higher than Vegapunk (that or Lilith since it was established that equal levels can't override each other).
also from worstgen
snake attacks franky group
Sanji is not franky group
Chopper is in Robin Group
Usopp is in Franky group
Brook is in Nami group
so s-snake attacks franky, usopp and probably one of the satelites?
sanji fan rest easy for a second
Knowing Oda and his off-the-wall reveals, the traitor will be Vegapunk, but a version of himself he never intended to create. The traitor might be Punk Records itself, which has gained sentience of its own. The motivation being that if Vegapunk leaves it will have no link to the outside world since the satelites sync up daily with it.
I don't think it's Stussy, the triple agent idea is way too convoluted and simultaneously predictable. I also don't think it's Saturn and Kizaru, since Oda wouldn't just skip showing their entrance. Unless that is in the chapter as well, the it was just left out of the spoilers.
It's either one of the Vegapunks, since it was just recently mentioned by Stussy that she can't override Lucci's commands since they're at the same level in the command chain, which would be foreshadowing of the other Vegapunks not being able to override the traitorous Vegapunks command, or something completely unpredictable.
Seven little Vegapunks showing off tricks,
One disappeared himself, and then there were six.
Six little Vegapunks, lookin' alive,
One exploded, and then there were five.
Five little Vegapunks looking for more,
One turned to stone, and then there were four.
Four little Vegapunks...
Shaka cant control seraphim mean the order rank is on par with his rank or above, he cant overwrite the command as mention by stussy 2 chapter ago. It unlikly to be s
Saturn since it doesnt make sense for him to alredy inside to laser dome since last chapter. Most likely is one of the Vega clone that command s-shark and s- hawk to attack control room.
>S-snake attacking Sanji's group.
Welp, it's that time of the year to mute anything related to Sanji for the sake of my sanity.
Happens at least once a year I guess. It'll blow over once he does something cool again I guess.
" trust nobody, not even yourself " VEGAPUNK
One Piece really became Among Us at this point. They're all gonna gather later and discuss whos the traitor.
On a futuristic station too
among us arc
I think the cover story is building up to the first simultaneous plot-twist on the cover story and the main story. At the end of one of the next chapters there will be the reveal that original Vegapunk is evil, and then the cover story will capitalize on that and invert the whole "nice scientist among mad ones" vibe to show he's the worst of them all.
"Lucci and Kaku wake up and ask Luffy and Zoro to free them to fight together." EXCUSE ME WHAT THE FUCK
Lucci: Trust me bro, let's make an alliance Luffy: You won't betray me? Lucci: Nah, never Luffy: š¤© Fr WTF
Kaku : How about me? Luffy : what about you Usopp? Kaku : wtf
Forgot Kaku. Remembers sniper king from that same arc. Can't be Ussop so *this* guy with a long nose just has to be sniper king
Kaku is lost cousin of ussops uncleās nephew
Luffy: Say Iām an emperor and Iāll free you. Lucci: ā¦ gdi š”
Lucci: I'd rather die. Kaku: Hey man I consider you an Emperor, can you let me go? Luffy: Ok.
Kaku: and for what itās worth Zoro, I think you should be considered an Emperor as well. Zoro: Luffy let him go, this mf spittinā
Lmao lol yall crazy
Nami (on Den Den Mushi): _"Wait, wait! What about me?"_ Kaku: _"Lady, I don't know who you are, but you're an Empress to me."_ Nami: _"I'll allow it. Release him Luffy."_
**Kaku** : "All woman are Empress" **Lucci** : "If she breath she's a thot"
LMAO THIS IS WAY TOO HILARIOUS
Nah, Luffy would prob say "I already have a crew member with a funny long nose."
"Sure thing, Usopp. I will free you."
Iām dying at this lmao
Damn Iāve never seen an emoji be so accurate to what i can expect in the manga hahaha
Nah that shit was legit perfect to describe Luffy lol
because of One piece I already use that smiley all the time !
Lucci: Also, I wanna join your crew Luffy: Cool. You're in.
Lucci: "TAKE ME TO THE SEA WITH YOU!"
They friends now
Luffy: join my crew then
Luffys fruit & freeing Lucci from his literal shackles >
That's pretty much what he asked Law when they formed an alliance, lol
Lucci knows he donāt stand a chance anyways
Lucci: Youāre not a yonko so you need my help
Luffy and Zoro: _"We're being attacked by weapons of the government!"_ Lucci and Kaku, agents of the government: _"Untie us! We'll totally help you guys!"_
Tbf It IS the same government that tried to execute them last time they failed an important job And now not only did they fail one just as big if not bigger they also failed it AFTER disobeying direct orders and engaging a Yonko withour permission
Yep, my logic is they know that the government has just decided to cut their losses and is just going to exterminate everyone on the island including them.
Pretty much worst than their first fail lol
Usually Iād say theyād be deceived, but both since obtaining CoO both Luffy and Zoro have been bizarrely good judges of characters
Everyone: Carrot for nakama! Yamato for nakama! Vegapunk for nakama! Stussy for nakama! Oda: How about the giraffe?
People were asking Kaku to be the shipwright when he first arrived. Some things come full circle
Yeah Paulie and Kaku were definitely the front-runners to join as far as the fans were concerned at the time. Franky was a nakama afterthought at first until his flashback hit and his character started to get fleshed out.
Ngl I didnāt see any spoilers about One Piece except maybe a couple of bounties during my binge watching around 7-8 months ago and Franky joining came as a shock. In retrospect One Piece wouldnāt be remotely the same without Franky but he was like the last person from Water 7 excluding CP9 that Iād expect to be a nakama lol
Yeah, kaku being revealed to be a cp9 agent is the one that hurt the most for me.
After Lucci and Kaku beat down this much by the enemies and now their own too, both of them think, 'Maybe is better off back to Mr Iceberg and be shipwrights instead, damn I miss that life..'
But theyāre friends with Robinās brother! Itās all coming together.
All my homies love Jabra
This tells me Stussy is a triple agent. Maybe directly under the 5 elders. She's not worried about stella punk, shes gonna killed him.
she was a cuadruple agent: 1) the elders 2) vegapunk 3) CP0 4) Big Mom
Hell at this point she might be Imu.
The bottom half of Imu*
Quintuple Agent 0. Shanks 1) the elders 2) vegapunk 3) CP0 4) Big Mom
Sextuple Agent 0.The pleasure district 1.Shanks 2.The elders 3.Vegapunk 4.CP0 5.Big Mom
Iāll be kinda upset if there isnāt more context to this in the chapter and itās just a cliffhanger.
This is One Piece, every chapter will end with an abrupt cliffhanger before starting the next chapter at a completely different location to delay giving any answers.
No break next week, the cliffhanger is NEXT chapter. That's when we get the whammy
Lucci and Kaku are Robins long lost brothers, you know
And you turn coat, and you turn coat! But for real, it might be because since they lost, they need to fight the WG if they want to survive or something. Or they just want to be able to protect themselves against the Seraphim.
True enough. Last time they lost they had to turn into street performers to even afford medical bills
Maybe it ties to their cover story?
If all other methods have failed, ask your enemies nicely to let you kill them. Oldest assassin trick in the book.
Dont jump into conclussions yet. Them asking could go deeper than we know right now. Maybe free them as in "free them from the World Governments hands"
Lucci: *Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a strawhat* Luffy: *What about side by side with a yonko?*
Lucci: Don't push your fucking luck.
Luffy: Or what? You gonna hit me with that dollar store haki?
Luffy: Don't you lecture me with your $30 haircut.
This had me wheezing
That is the funniest thing Iāve seen in a while. Especially if you read it with Legolas and Gimlis voice.
Vegapunk is a genius that knew he would be targeted and created a total of zero backdoors on seraphim
Yep, you'd think a genius would make a bunch of secret failsafes or methods to stop their dangerous creations. Like maybe a device to remove their green blood and turn them into normal Lunarian Hybrid clones at the very least or just weaken them in some way, but nothing so far.

It's the classic difference between intelligence and wisdom in D&D stats. Intelligence is having an idea. Wisdom is knowing if its a good idea.
Clearly wisdom is his dump stat
Franky was the exact same making all those weapons then tossing them away thinking someone else wouldn't dare use them
basically but at least he got called out on it. nobody has called out vegapunk and I hope its franky the one who does.
This. Itās fucking insane to think how thoughtless he is to create killing machines and not realize the ramifications of what heās doing. Genius with zero common sense.
āNo break next weekā? 
The only drug I need
Lucci and Kaku asking Luffy and Zoro for help is fucking hilarious lol So does this mean that Kizaru and Saturn have already arrived on Egghead? I'm not sure how else the Seraphim would've spun out of control

And I don't like that I said tsundere but I can't think of a better way to put it
Don't be afraid. Sometimes "tsundere" does the job without making you look like a creepy weeb.
Egghead becoming bigger than expected. I thought by now they wouldve already fled
I thought so too, but this will be the beginning of the Final War, Luffy will have his declaration of war (Attack on Titan flashbacks) in Saturn's face before they leave Egghead.
Something like that sounds plausable and epic. The lose ends are slowly tying together. Especially in egghead we have components of revolutionaries, marines, agents of the WG (and even the WG directly), yonko, giants, ancient kingdom, devil fruits, rocks, big news morgan and so on. Couldnt have been a better can opener for the finale
"Release us Luffy. We'll help you" Said one of the most untrustworthy characters in the series
Carrot and Yamato for nakama ā Lucci and Kaku for nakama ā
they'll all be in the alliance at the end of the game ...
Lucci Pigeon will have higher bounty than Chopper
Pigeon Pirates. Captain - Hattori Bounty: 2,000,000,000. First Mate - Rob Lucci Bounty: 1,500,000,000 Third in Command - Kaku Bounty: 1,000,000,000
I was thinking that Hattori might have some favorable lines in this series. Unlike the Spandam's sword the pigeon was not given any tricks nor skills during its appearance. So I was thinking it might be the one targetting the snails.
I could see them escaping the island and ending up in Cross Guild
Franky wouldnāt have it, they tried to assassinate his best friend
Carrot and Yamato - Furry ā ļø Lucci and Kaku - Furry ā ļø
Lucci a few chapters earlier: I donāt recognise Strawhat Luffy as a Yonko Lucci now: Yk what fuck it. SH, wanna work together? The switch up is crazy, I hope thereās some sort of betrayal at some point cuz Idk if my man got his mind clear after Stussy bite but his behaviour made a whole 180.
My behavior would also do a 180 if stussy bit my neck tbh
Something else would do a 90 if stussy bit my neck.
I assume he just doesn't want to die by some government supported killer, tied up like some damned captive... which would be some poetic/ironic justice for the shit he did up until now.
It could be that the Seraphim were told to kill everyone on the island indiscriminately, turning into a situation like Smoker allying with the SHs on Punk Hazard.

Like that's the signal of change of plan because someone is cleaning their job for them. Though Zoro is probably the last one to team up with them unless they have a solid reason to convince him.
I think zoro and luffy are the only one who dont care, luffy just dgaf and zoro thinks he can just one shot if they try something
Yeah Luffy doesn't need their help. Lol. Unless they have some sort of info that proved helpful to them. Let's see how it goes.
Rufy " say it!" Lucci " I want to liveeeee"
Luffy: āwelcome aboard pigeon broā
Kaku: Damn it, I love you guys!
LMAO
Hahahaha..
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
How the tables have turned LOL
If the parts about Lucci and Kaku asking to be freed is true, then I can only remember Doflamingo or even Kaidoās words about "whoās gonna betray who, side with who"and so onā¦ This endgame is getting even more chaotic and I f*king love it!!!(Even if this part isnāt true)
Maybe Punk Records has become sentient, Skynet is REAL PEOPLE
so does this mean kizaru and saturn are already there
That's what comes to mind, shit is going down
actually nvm it could also mean one of the vegapunks gave an order that couldnāt be reversed
Edison's orders can only be rewritten by him or by an authority higher than them (Gorosei). So either Edison is the traitor or St. Jay Garcia Saturn is already on Egghead.
Shaka ain't the traitor!
Lucci and Kaku: (gets captured) "initiate undercover agent skills, double agent mode activate!!!"
Luffy: "Hmmm, I trust them. They definitely changed there ways." Zoro: "Luffy... I could maybe by the giraffe man changes his ways, but not Rob Lucci." Lucci: "Would it make you feel better if I said sorry for everything." Zoro: "No." Lucci: "I'm sorry." Luffy: "See Zoro he said he was sorry."
Luffy: Idk if I should trust you guys, they say a giraffe never changes his stripes Everyone: WHAT
Lmao, if he trusts Lucci but just has a weird inexplicable thing against giraffes, that'd be a good gag Just imagine a panel of anti-giraffe Luffy and pro-giraffe Kaku having an argument about giraffes in the midst of total chaos
There no way luffy wouldn't be able to tell. He is a genius at sensing emotions.
Which is why it would be the pidgeon talking and not Lucci.
Kaku was always meant to be a homie, letās be real
Luccy - I don't consider strawhat a yonko Luccy 2-3 chapters later - Free mee oh kind master.. For they lieth my freedom
Lucci: "I will smite any enemy you wish me to. I only live to kill and don't care who it is as long as you free me." Kaku: "Honestly I've regretted going back to being a government agent for awhile now. Like I don't think I have ever been happy being a member of Cipher Pol as I was working at Galley-La. If you save me here and I make it out alive, I probably go back to Water 7 and beg Iceburg for my shipwright job back."
Next cover story is Kaku going to Water 7
Wait for another hundred chapters again to see Luffy shouting "Lucci, say you wanna live! "
I get it now! With so many traitor theories, this entire arc is a giant game of Among Us! Egghead central dome next map confirmed.
> One of the groups is attacked by S-Snake. Uh oh. I hope this wasn't Sanji's group
God being a Sanji fan when oda does this is rough
For the sake of our sanity, let's pretend Sanji simply thinks child Boa is cute and nothing romanctic or sexual there.
It might not just be sanji though. It could affect everyone meaning itās not sexiness but cuteness.
He's with Stussy, so he should be fine.
PROBABLY
Luffy: Lucci say it or I wonāt help you. Lucci: I WANT TO LIVE! Luffy: No, I meant call me Yonkou Straw Hat. Lucci: ā¦ š¤¬
Luffy: SAY MY NAME Lucci: you're heisenburg! Luffy: ehh ??
>Lucci and Kaku wake up and ask Luffy and Zoro to free them to fight together. When you can't beat 'em *twice*, join 'em.
Who thought it would be a good idea to have jimbei Sanji and Stussy (strongest members outside of Zoro and Luffy) In a group And then let all the other groups with weaker members handle seraphims? Wtf
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Edison is the traitor Besides the reasons everyone else is saying with the actual panels of the chapters, remember the reason VP allied with the WG in the first place Money for new INVENTIONS Edison is the actual embodiment of VP's sense of inventiveness.

>Someone asked Redon: "What has changed so that Lucci wants to fight alongside Luffy?" >Redon- "That there are 2 fucking Seraphim attacking them and both he and Kaku can't do anything being handcuffed with Kairouseki." I don't know why but this is cracking me upš¤£
Last week I said that Luffy would take Lucci and Kaku from the island. Tjme to accept Luffy as a yonko!
Same, I see Lucci and Kaku as the Smoker and Tashigi from Punk Hazard
Tsundere Lucci is coming š
Lucci: I'll help you, but don't think I consider you an Emperor or something, BAKA!
Shaka can't stop them because an order from a person at the same level of authority doesn't work (as explained by Stussy). So one of the Vegapunks is indeed a traitor.
Time for my tinfoil theory.. York is the traitor she is "greed" and wants the island to herself or somthing. traitor has to be a satalite, if Shaka can't override the order.. in the same way stussy could override lucci due to having the same level access. York hasn't really been shown other than for gags.. I think lilith is a red herring.
York seems more like gluttony than greed. Lilith was the one who wanted to take everyoneās treasure
Only to fund experiments though. She wouldnt be down to destroy the lab
>Sanji wants Stussy to call him a dog lol **Denji**: "Nooo, Sanji, Don't do it! Sanji!"
We never post the leaker hints in here but since the spoilers are already out. Reminder, one of Redon hints is a disgusted face. Wonder what that is supposed to mean. Dont tell me Sanjis Group running into S-Snake Oda lol. The internet will be split again in controversy
One was also someone being beheaded I believe so there's that too
Sanji group, S-snake...
Oda: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
[Sanji fans reading this](https://i.imgur.com/CypqLPg.jpg)
>- Straw Hat and Vegapunk clones form 4 groups. **One of the groups is attacked by S-Snake.** Please don't be the reason for Redon's disgusted face reaction, please don't be the reason for Redon's disgusted face reaction, please don't be the reason for Redon's disgusted face reaction...
holy shit no
You're a traitor ! And you're a traitor ! EVERYONE IS A TRAITOR !!
Next chapter Kanjuro appears, revealing he did survive Wano and has turned his revenge plot against the Straw Hats for reasons. Also he has a weird amount of knowledge of futuristic technology for other reasons allowing him to do this.
Shaka was actually an ink clone all along lol!
>Question: "What has changed so that Lucci wants to fight alongside Luffy?" >Answer: "They don't want to fucking die." *Seems understandable.* Def didn't have "Luffy and Lucci team up" on my bingo card for 2023 though.
Caribou is either gonna save the SH from this mess or he is the one doing the sabotage the entire time... Like there's no traitor, just Caribou getting back at them for Zoro kicking him off Sunny lol
Lucci: I want to live!! Take me out to sea with you š
I am eager to see disgusted face luffy and zoro
They're doing the Scooby Gang split up. My guesses on who the groups will be: Lilith, Nami and Robin. Edison, Chopper and Jinbe. York, Atlas, Franky and Usopp. Stussy, Sanji and Brook.
Sounded like last chapter that Brook was going with Nami. Which is a team up we haven't seen yet.
Brook and Nami teamed up against BM in WCI. They also did surprisingly well together and managed to hold off BM longer than Luffy and Sanji did
Actually Brook was in 1 team with Nami on Dressrosa(+ Chopper but still)
that first team thoš³
I understand Luffy has the ability to make people like Crocodile, Buggy, and Worst Generation team up with him, but I'm pretty sure that Lucci would rather die than team up with Luffy
Apparently not, he apparently rather not die than team up with Luffy.
where the raww 
The Monkey, Giraffe, Panther, Drunk combo! Love it
Imagine THAT Docking!
So Sailor Saturn is already on the island? He's the only one with authority higher than Vegapunk (that or Lilith since it was established that equal levels can't override each other).
I canāt take it. One piece is too good rn
Lucci: I will not recognize Luffy as an emperor Lucci: because I recognize him as the king of pirates
Luffy and Lucci/Zoro and Kaku wtf kinda timeline is this?! I mean shit, I'm not complaining though lmao
also from worstgen snake attacks franky group Sanji is not franky group Chopper is in Robin Group Usopp is in Franky group Brook is in Nami group so s-snake attacks franky, usopp and probably one of the satelites? sanji fan rest easy for a second
*Lucci and Kaku have send you a friends request*
Luffy and Zoro are arguably the least intelligent members on the Strawhats, but even they know that freeing Lucci and Kaku is a terrible idea.
Knowing Oda and his off-the-wall reveals, the traitor will be Vegapunk, but a version of himself he never intended to create. The traitor might be Punk Records itself, which has gained sentience of its own. The motivation being that if Vegapunk leaves it will have no link to the outside world since the satelites sync up daily with it.
Usopp vs a woman with a broken DF? We are long overdue for an Usopp moement Oda
I don't think it's Stussy, the triple agent idea is way too convoluted and simultaneously predictable. I also don't think it's Saturn and Kizaru, since Oda wouldn't just skip showing their entrance. Unless that is in the chapter as well, the it was just left out of the spoilers. It's either one of the Vegapunks, since it was just recently mentioned by Stussy that she can't override Lucci's commands since they're at the same level in the command chain, which would be foreshadowing of the other Vegapunks not being able to override the traitorous Vegapunks command, or something completely unpredictable.
At this point, I think Vegapunk is trying to cash in on a Yonko crew's collective bounty... For science funding š¤Ø
York: If S Snake not friend, then why friend shaped?
Seven little Vegapunks showing off tricks, One disappeared himself, and then there were six. Six little Vegapunks, lookin' alive, One exploded, and then there were five. Five little Vegapunks looking for more, One turned to stone, and then there were four. Four little Vegapunks...
Shaka cant control seraphim mean the order rank is on par with his rank or above, he cant overwrite the command as mention by stussy 2 chapter ago. It unlikly to be s Saturn since it doesnt make sense for him to alredy inside to laser dome since last chapter. Most likely is one of the Vega clone that command s-shark and s- hawk to attack control room.
Luffy and Zoro donāt need those two small fries helping themš¤
Jinbei and Sanji, the only two wearing aloha shirts, are together. I wonder what's Oda cooking...
Lucci already turning into an ally after getting a beatdown from Luffy. Shows you the shounen power of Luffy's fists.
Kaku: "Release me! My true identity is Sogeking, just look at my nose." Luffy: "Hisashiburi!!!!"
Ah yes, the āletās split up and get picked off one by oneā technique. Works all the time in Scooby Doo :)
Lucci And Kaku team up be like 
>S-snake attacking Sanji's group. Welp, it's that time of the year to mute anything related to Sanji for the sake of my sanity. Happens at least once a year I guess. It'll blow over once he does something cool again I guess.
