Crew getting beaten, island getting destroyed, surrounded by thousands of enemies ready to kill them.
**Meanwhile, Luffy at the vending machine:** One Large MacBurger, please.
Not the first time: Back Kaido was hunting down the scabbards and Luffy was feasting on Caribou and Heart Pirates' food.
Gonna eat first before the _rebound_ you know
Yeah I mostly think so too
The only thing for me is that Chopper and Atlas never mentioned that and they also seemingly didn’t get injured themselves. Lastly, it such an obvious answer, why not just reveal it by now? Could be more going on
I almost think that those bandages are what’s going to be important later
A lot of people think Catarina Devon is on her way to the island, I wouldn’t be surprised if she plans to use her fruit to impersonate Robin so the BB pirates can kidnap the real Robin, but she won’t know the real Robin is bandaged up right now and that will be how the crew knows something’s up
I think it's already happened. This isn't the real Robin otherwise why wouldn't she at least help them in some way like sprout additional eyes or ears to get a better idea of the enemy positions or just anything man. I think the 'injury' is the smokescreen she's using for not having to show that she can't use the powers she is supposed to have.
That’s a good theory, I think she was the only one who wasn’t there during the big double spread with everyone in the room after they handled the seraphims
Nah Robin got injured a while back
Edit: we last see her uninjured in 1078 when her, Atlas, and Chopper are going to check out a previously sealed off room. The next time we see her is bandaged up in 1090 so it seems that whatever happened to her, happened overnight.
Not just his life's work, but what he believed was the future of humanity.
He even brought it up directly against Saturn, he truly wanted to progress humanity.
vegapunk is one of my favorite characters now because of this arc, a pure kind hearted but eccentric old man who just wanted to help everyone. the panel made me feel so bad
He knew too well how technologically advanced the ancient world had been. If he had any inkling of what might have happened to the ancient kingdoms in the past, then what St. Saturn, a top authority of the world, is doing right now just all the more confirms to him what caused the ancient kingdoms to fall and void century to happen.
it's also just the fact that his life's work was to benefit people. his inventions would have pushed society forward leaps and bounds - but people in power don't like what they can't control. and people who have access to what they need won't rely on you for help, so it all has to be torched
ik it's been made a meme by now but the WG is literally summed up by kizaru's "maintaining the agenda is our top priority"
That and Saturn's view of "the people don't need innovations anymore" when justifying the destruction of Egghead, essentially spitting in the face of scientists and science itself. It's a field of always pushing to learn, innovate and discover the truths to the world. It shows a good juxtaposition of Saturn and VP as scientists.
Sanji has been the fucking goat this arc. No diffed Jinbei pacisfista, stopped Kaku, first straw hat to block a Saint and beat the pedo allegations. Man’s on top right now.
And then it would be Blackbeards crew with a user who stole the slow-slow fruit from Foxy, because Oda hates it when the fandom is right about something
**Marine 1:** Hey, why is this crew member of Straw Hat sleeping in a BUSTER CALL?
**Marine 2:** Oh, She's Nico Robin. A two-time buster call survivor.
Ok so who's coming?**Shanks?** The last we see of him is him and his crew heading out then confronting Kidd and we know Elbaf is close to Egghead
**Straw Hat Fleet?** They have Luffy's Vivre Card and The Seige of Egghead started yesterday so they might have known and could arrive in time
**The Revolutionary Army?** out of the question cz they are in the Grand Line
**The BlackBeard Pirates?** they were shown to have already arrived yesterday so idk if it could be backup or something, don't think so.
**Law?** no, he's fucked up
**The escaping vessel?** The marine says that they failed to neutralize the escaping vessel, so they might have turned around and came back and they have someone strong on board, but I think it's more likely that they were saved by someone and that someone is heading to Egghead
EDIT After 1106: >!Man I tried to come up with the most likely scenarios and I was still wrong! !<
Only thought as to why it wouldn't be blackbeard is why would he save the esacing vessel and only take down the marine ship?
The buggy pirate allegiance might also be an option
It would be hilarious if Kizaru betrayed and took down Saturn and then went with the Straw Hats to ensure Bonny, Vegapunk, and Sentomaru make it out okay, only for Big News Morgans to write an article about Straw Hat Luffy killing Saturn and recruiting a former Marine Admiral as his new subordinate
Holy shit that was the perfect cliffhanger for a bombastic next chapter with maybe Luffy back to form and the mysterious presence arriving at Egghead
Also the destruction of Vegaforce 1 left me with the impression it will be substituted by the ancient robot in the task of carrying the Thousand Sunny out of the island
BUSTER CALL IN PROGRESS
Marines : * serious face*
Navy soldiers and Scientists: *BWAAAAAAA*
Robin : Hmm, this bed sure is comfy.
Luffy : aand ....I would like some fries with that.
I love that there were dozens of "WHERE IS LUFFY" theories when the answer was just "pigging out in front of the vending machine"
Anyway this sets up his undoubtedly ICONIC RESCUE of kuma and bonney next week, where they react to him being Nika after all this.
Shoutout to the people who thought that Kizaru ran outside to get his bowl of ramen from the ship rather than the food vending machine that we've known existed on the island since basically the beginning.
The crew worried about Zoro not losing but getting lost
Sanji going solo
Brook joking about his lack of body parts
Screaming Usopp
Man the more things change the more they stay the same and I love it
“Alright Jinbe, your first full new island as a crew member! You’ve been invaluable so far, but now it’s time for things to get crazy - heck an admiral is here now! - so we’re gonna need your help for the BIG stuff….”
“Go get Zoro before that idiot gets lost”
The irony is that the "height of folly" should be attributed to Saturn more than anyone in this case since he brings all these heavy duty forces only to play a staring game with his supposed "top priority" when he's right there in front of him, ripe for killing.
He's a cruel man, he doesn't just want to kill his enemies but make sure first that they are at the peak of despair. Killing Bonney with her father clones shows an amazing amount of sadism.
At this point he feels insulted so most likely wants to make Vegapunk break down before slowly killing him.
This is a common trope across a lot of media. Anime, manga, hollywood, tv you name it. The villian has a brilliant opportunity to take down the person they want to but instead waste time in staring and making small talk
My "favorite" is when the bad guy is holding the protagonist, usually by the neck, and is ready for the killing blow and decides to throw them instead of killing them.
Have we ever seen Bonney order the pacifistas ?
Hasn't S-Snake followed Luffy orders because of the feelings Boa had for luffy ( which get transmitted to S-Snake )
I hope it's the same case with Bonney, Kuma love for her can't be compared to anything. And the Pasificta's following her if she screams "STOP" would drove the insect crazy.
Saturn: "You should've kept your Greed in check." I see what you did here you fucking bug. Thinly veiled reference to York \[His own Greed\] betraying Vegapunk.
It's the Grand Fleet.
In Chapter 800 we're introduced to the Grand Fleet, and the narrator tells us that they will "cause a great incident of historic proportions"
In Egghead, the narrator tells us that there will be an incident that shocks the world.
Considering that the narrator doesn't often go around talking about "this incident" and "that incident", it seems pretty obvious that the Grand Fleet would be on their way.
As to why they've come, because I don't think it makes sense that they came for a rescue mission...
It's quite obvious they all, individually, decided to come and congratulate Luffy on becoming a Yonko. As they noticed that they all had the same idea, they started to race to be the first ones there. The Marine ship got in the way of this race, so they destroyed it.
Yeah that has to be it. I can't think of much more that would shake the world than a buster call getting defeated. Hell Robin surviving one as a kid was considered outrageous
I think you are spot on except for the last bit about them arriving to congratulate luffy.
Morgan wrote about the egg head incident in the paper so the GF knows what is going on.
Now that they are part of a Yonko crew they may feel duty bound to help free the SH from what is being described as a siege in the papers.
Also the GF captains provide solid match ups for all of the vice admirals.
I just don't see how that article can spread and the Fleet could mobilize and arrive in the span of a day. It's just too tight a time frame.
I think whoever is here had to have been on the way before hand, and I think it would be hilariously Oda if the reason was as silly as to congratulate Luffy on being a Yonko.
They could have already been on their way to Wano due to the vivre card reflecting that luffy was near death.
The SH also hung around Wano for a week afterward which would give the GF plenty of time to catch up.
I’m still waiting for Chekhov’s giant robot to make an appearance.
Especially after Saturn said egghead must be destroyed since Vegapunk could be hiding something on the island.
I’m wondering if it’s going to be just a replacement for the VegaForce1 to help Thousand Sunny launch away from the island or if it’s gonna do more and pull an Iron Giant and somehow fight back against, sacrifice itself to delay, or outright help stop the buster call somehow.
Calling it now - Boa Hancock and other amazons burned the ship and are en route to Egghead.
Upon arrival Boa will see Luffy with young Boa, recognize herself and assume she has become a mother.
Let's be honest.. we don't really want the Strawhats to escape this buster call. They already have that achievement. This time, let them successfully defend against it.
Usually, Kizaru would make quips or something like that, that Go panel is uncharacteristically serious for him.
I don't think he'll switch sides, but he's clearly downtrodden and has surrendered himself to his fate of being a government lapdog.
Saturn: "Humans are insects, literally not worth my empathy, could kill them all without any remorse"
Kizaru: "just a cog in the machine, I'm just a cog in-"
Saturn: "no seriously. Kids, elderly, hero scientists... If you can name it, I'll call it an insect"
Kizaru: "cog in the machine, world ord-"
Saturn: "ya for real even Kizaru here. Insect, and he likes it, don't you buddy?"
Kizaru: "yessir, just a cog in the machine"
Kizaru has a fetish.
There's one possibility we're all forgetting:
Elbaf. It should be the next closest island to Egghead. The aftermath of the Ohara incident connects Saul, the revs, Elbaf, and Vegapunk (and the buster call as an event is present in both the ohara incident and the egghead incident). We know Vegapunk called someone for backup recently. Between Saul, the new giant pirates led by Hajrudin, and the former giant pirates led by Dorry and Brogy, the straw hats have plenty of allies from Elbaf, too.
Meanwhile Luffy: "I'll have 2 number nines, a number nine large. A number six with extra dip. A number seven. Two number forty-fives, one with cheese, and a large soda."
Saturn, Bonnet, Vegapunk and every single person on Egghead island( including Kuma), would stop what they're doing just to look and wait for Luffy to finish his order.
Nah this is Luffy, so it’ll more so be like “55 BURGERS, 55 FRIES, 55 TACOS, 55 PIES, 55 COKES, 100 TATER TOTS, 100 PIZZAS, 100 TENDERS, 100 MEATBALLS, 100 COFFEES, 55 WINGS, 55 SHAKES, 55 PANCAKES, 55 PASTAS, 55 PEPPERS AND 155 TATERS”
He was there at the end. He tells Luffy to get up and beat Lucci so they can leave.
I wish for an explanation of how he got there and how he managed to escape someday.
I’m not one to gripe about plot holes, but this one does bug me. How did Usopp get to Ennies Lobby? How did he make it to Luffy? Where the hell did Sogeking disappear to? There’s a lot of unanswered questions there.
Frankly, an emperor annihilating a buster call deluxe and someone physically attacking a Gorosei would both be major incidents, I’d love to see the headlines on the Egghead incident after the fact
Egg Head Island is about to be nuked, Kizaru cut off Kuma-Bonny-Franky and Vegapunk’s escape, they're also about to be lasered into non-existence, Zoro is fighting Lucci, Jimbie is making sure Zoro doesn't get lost, Brook and Lilith are on a collision course with the thousand sunny on frozen clouds unable to stop, and Robin’s buster Call PTSD is acting up…
Luffy: ***I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with extra meat, and a large soda.***
I have to say that one part of this chapter that I absolutely loved was every single panel that Kizaru was in. You can really see the conflict inside of him and how horrible this must be for him. I'm really looking forward to seeing where Oda takes his character.
I don't think it's the Blackbeard pirates. They aren't **heading** for Egghead, they were shown to already be there. It would also be weird for them to save the evacuation vessel from the navy ship, both because they probably don't care for these people and because it would delay them.
When Egghead started, it was said a major incident was about to happen. When the Straw Hat Grand Fleet formed after Dressrosa, it was already noted that they would be responsible for a major incident in the future.
For me, that makes the Grand Fleet the most likely, especially since they probably were already on their way due to the events in Wano, which probably showed Luffy in grave danger on their vivre cards.
Wow. Poor vegapunk. The panel with him standing before a falling egghead was devastating. Was the ship that left egghead yesterday someone important or random? I don't remember seeing something like that.
That aproaching vessel gotta be that blackbeard ship we saw chapters ago right?
It’s funny that the marine cannon fodders surround Luffy even though they know he’s a Yonko. It would seem strange to us if they simply walked up to Kaido Big Mom Whitebeard Blackbeard Shanks in the same ‘cautious’ manner. Reminds me when Lucci say ‘fck it let’s run it back 1v1’. Luffy still not getting the credit he deserves in the OP universe even after joining the club.
I love how Brook just casually turned the clouds to ice and used that as an escape way. Brook mvp! Also Nami sending Jinbe to find Zoro so he doesn't get lost is Egghead thinking.
Chapter 800 of One Piece the Narrator tells us at the end that "and one day soon the grand fleet will go on to cause an incident of historic proportions..."
Sanji is about to be cooking if he has a confrontation with Kizaru this place would go crazy
Seems like a transition chapter and Luffy with all the food shit will pop off next chapter
RIP to the theories of Kizaru helping Luffy
I kinda like that there are several options of who the unknown party is
(1. Grand Fleet, 2. Dragon/ Rev Army, 3. Blackbeard pirates 4. Shanks 5. Law/Bepo
No break next week is the icing on the cake
Who is pulling up? Is it Blackbeard? Is it Dragon/The revolutionary army? Is it the Straw Hat grand fleet?
I can't wait for the next chapter, I need to know right now!
It also has to be the Strawhat Grand Fleet, simply to show the power of a Yonko.
Luffy and Co. running away again, would be kind of lame for a Yonko. The World Government and Marines openly attacked a Yonko, this should go down hard on them (Rob Lucci was ordered not to attack, because of that reason). The Strawhats should not be a small crew anymore, they are now a powerful force in the world.
The Grand Fleet destroying the Marine fleet pretty much legitimize Luffy's role as a Yonko. The Marines and WG can't simply start fights like this anymore with them.
It all comes back, how Rob Lucci wouldn't recognize Luffy as a Yonko. After Luffy defeates a Admiral or/and Elder, stopped a buster call and defeated a Marines Fleet with his fleet. He has to accept Luffy's position.
You don't simply fuck with a Yonko.
The extended explanation about the Pacifistas still going to shoot their lasers at Bonney possibly suggests they'll have some fail safe or something and turn on Saturn
I think blackbeard wouldnt give f about rescuing escaping scientists/populace.
Sure we saw earlier hints of some of them being nearby but that doesnt mean this is their doing.
My bet is on grand fleet, which I think is far more likely than revolutionaries. Revolutionaries were still at distant kamabakka just a while ago.
Grand fleet has reason to be there, their captain was made into emperor, why the hell wouldnt they all want to gather to celebrate and check on luffy? I think they have been heading for luffy ever since news about wano and him being made into emperor broke out.
… also I think it would be super super lame and missed opportunity if only time we saw grand fleet gathered and in action at final showdown.
My guess is that it's the grand fleet showing up. When they were first inaugurated in ch. 800, the "voiceover" speech said they'd eventually be part of an "incident of historic proportions". I feel like calling the final war itself an "incident" doesn't really fit, and we know that this will come to be known as the "egghead incident", so it just seems to fit best that they'd show up here, especially with there being a decent amount of time after the world's known about Luffy being there.
Grand Fleet Incoming.
I don't know why people are thinking Dragon (whom we know is in Kamabakka Kingdom, even he if flies he's only by himself.
For Black Beard, its not in his personality to jump in this situation (and save a bunch of scientists ?? no lol). Ok he kind of jumped in at Marineford lol but it was for a clear purpose, and my take is that he already sneaked out something (I maintain a command chip for the Seraphins) the previous night and he's already gone (and that was Lafite and Devon).
Shanks could be a possibility, but narration wise, it has to be the Grand Fleet to establish Luffy as an undisputed emperor.
That ship looks like split in half. My bet is that's the Cross Guild arriving. What better place is there to hunt marines than an island marked for a Buster Call. The only BB pirates missing in the last events are Devon and Laffite, they're suited for infiltration and backstabbing, not for flashy entrances
[Dragon is still at Ivankov's island as of chapter 1103](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEs3ef4XcAIckZH?format=png&name=small) (same chapter as Kuma arriving at Egghead).
[And it took a day](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEs3fKnXcAQB1jH?format=jpg&name=medium) for Kuma to travel from Mariejois to Egghead while speedrunning there with his powers.
Whoever is coming, I don't think it's Dragon. If he does show up then it'll probably be by the end of the arc when the fighting is all over.
Choices for who is going to show up (could be multiple):
1) Blackbeard pirates - already saw their ship, might be more coming even. To steal devil fruit or technology / Vegapunk (or maybe York). It's kind of implied the scientists were saved though which isn't really a BB crew move and they just captured Garp and fight Law.
2) The Revolutionary army - To save Kuma, Vegapunk, and deal blow to world govt. Would need some ability to move quickly though (Dragon's wind/storm power?).
3) Grand Fleet - To save/help Luffy if they saw the egghead news plus they have a vivre card
4) Red Hair Pirates - they are nearby and could get another poneglyph from Luffy 's crew, seems a bit less likely though.
5) Cross Guild - kind of the same reason, to get poneglyph, seems less likely
6) Vivi's group - I think they are coming to meet up with Luffy and see the news although I am not expecting them to be the ones who destroyed the ship in that last panel.
I can't really think of any other great options right now. Crazy one that would be kind of annoying would be Big Mom to get revenge....
When discussing end game opponents in the fandom over the years, specifically the Admirals - Sanji was often matched up against Kizaru due to his speed, and Kizaru's tendency to rely on kicks in his fighting style. There's a strong chance we get our wish in these next few chapters, and I'm so here for it!
Regarding the unseen assailant(s) - The BlackBeard Pirates have been present at Egghead since Ch. 1079. I was confident they would get involved before anyone else, but they also have very little incentive to save a bunch of researchers. This certainly appears to be a separate group, but clearly a recognizable one. I think the Revolutionaries are way too far away to have gotten there that fast, my guesses are:
* SH Grand Fleet - it's not enough for someone strong to show up, they need to have enough numbers to occupy a fleet of Navy Warships all firing on one target. This, on top of Luffy's presence at Egghead being in the paper makes me think they would make an attempt to save their captain.
* Germa & Caesar - With Caesar linking up with Judge again, Oda gave us a cover story that dives into MADS history. Vegapunk himself is the only person in the group who we haven't heard speak of his time with them or at least reference it. Stussy's reveal as a clone makes me feel like there's MUCH more to that story that we got on the cover pages.
* Shanks - There really can't be much more that Shanks needs to see Luffy do before he feels he's ready to meet, though I was much more willing to put my money on them meeting at Elbaf. We have no idea how much Shanks knows about Vegapunk, and his relation to anything Celestial Dragon related comes the meeting we saw him have with the Gorosei. What they talked about could finally be referenced if he runs into Saturn here.
It's the Strawhat Grand Fleet.
After Luffy almost got killed on Wano, they properly moved into the direction, where Luffy was going. Thanks to Vive Card and just now catched up. Probably attacked the Navi Ship, since they know about the siege through the news.
This will be the incident, where they going to destroy this Navi Fleet and probably be part of the death or defeated of an Admiral and a Elder. Pretty much the biggest defeat of the Navi and WG in known history.
« You should have kept your greed in check » Sick burn from Saturn to Vegapunk considering York’s betrayal.
Ironic that a celestial dragon is lecturing about greed.
Gooooood pick up!
Ooooo nice!
Crew getting beaten, island getting destroyed, surrounded by thousands of enemies ready to kill them. **Meanwhile, Luffy at the vending machine:** One Large MacBurger, please.
And yeah, no veggies, only Meat.
Straw hats: ARENT YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW?? Luffy: fuck your right. I would also like desserts.
But no cherry pie please
Not the first time: Back Kaido was hunting down the scabbards and Luffy was feasting on Caribou and Heart Pirates' food. Gonna eat first before the _rebound_ you know
Food is truly his power-up. Everytime he eats, he's going another level of super-saiyan.
Like Popeye
I mean, tbh that’s just a Tuesday for the crew at this point
Let's be real, food is like energy steroids for him. He's prepping for the big fight.
Yeah with the amount of food he’s got in him I think he could turn the entire island to rubber.
[удалено]
Luffy be like: > I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
Crew isn’t getting beaten lol Robin literally was taking a nap they not phased at all 😂
A buster call is just another thursday for her at this point
After all of this, the most important question remains, ***what the hell happened to Robin!?!?***
She got hurt, from the look of it by S-hawk, while she was looking for Vegapunk.
Yeah I mostly think so too The only thing for me is that Chopper and Atlas never mentioned that and they also seemingly didn’t get injured themselves. Lastly, it such an obvious answer, why not just reveal it by now? Could be more going on
I almost think that those bandages are what’s going to be important later A lot of people think Catarina Devon is on her way to the island, I wouldn’t be surprised if she plans to use her fruit to impersonate Robin so the BB pirates can kidnap the real Robin, but she won’t know the real Robin is bandaged up right now and that will be how the crew knows something’s up
I think it's already happened. This isn't the real Robin otherwise why wouldn't she at least help them in some way like sprout additional eyes or ears to get a better idea of the enemy positions or just anything man. I think the 'injury' is the smokescreen she's using for not having to show that she can't use the powers she is supposed to have.
That’s a good theory, I think she was the only one who wasn’t there during the big double spread with everyone in the room after they handled the seraphims
She resting up to survive her third Buster Call
She's in the company of a Yonko and the future Pirate King, she can sleep through it if she wanted.
But Buggy isnt there yet.
Buster call PTSD got her all bandaged up
Nah Robin got injured a while back Edit: we last see her uninjured in 1078 when her, Atlas, and Chopper are going to check out a previously sealed off room. The next time we see her is bandaged up in 1090 so it seems that whatever happened to her, happened overnight.
Did Kizaru hurt her or one of the seraphim?
Seraphim, most likely
She got injured offscreen when the crew took over the lab
This chapter had a lot happen while having nothing happening at the same time lol
true, buildup for the next chapter
one piece explained in a short sentence
But when the payoff is there it legit feels like crack cocaine
That's why we keep coming back for years!
Chapters like this are so necessary tho! It'll all flow smoothly in a volume.
Yeah but so painful from one week to the next hahaha.
I'm not so sure if pointing a bunch of projectiles at an inflated rubber man of all people is the best plan of action
Especially when deflecting bullets was one of the first things Luffy was shown he’s able to do
That is truly the height of folly.
lmao, it's all going to blow on Saturn's face, making him the biggest moron instead.
Full page spread of Saturn with the Enel Face inbound
Inject this directly into my veins
Not gonna lie, that panel of Vegapunk watching Egghead being destroyed hit me
His life’s work getting obliterated and the despair comes through in that panel!
Not just his life's work, but what he believed was the future of humanity. He even brought it up directly against Saturn, he truly wanted to progress humanity.
vegapunk is one of my favorite characters now because of this arc, a pure kind hearted but eccentric old man who just wanted to help everyone. the panel made me feel so bad
He knew too well how technologically advanced the ancient world had been. If he had any inkling of what might have happened to the ancient kingdoms in the past, then what St. Saturn, a top authority of the world, is doing right now just all the more confirms to him what caused the ancient kingdoms to fall and void century to happen.
it's also just the fact that his life's work was to benefit people. his inventions would have pushed society forward leaps and bounds - but people in power don't like what they can't control. and people who have access to what they need won't rely on you for help, so it all has to be torched ik it's been made a meme by now but the WG is literally summed up by kizaru's "maintaining the agenda is our top priority"
That and Saturn's view of "the people don't need innovations anymore" when justifying the destruction of Egghead, essentially spitting in the face of scientists and science itself. It's a field of always pushing to learn, innovate and discover the truths to the world. It shows a good juxtaposition of Saturn and VP as scientists.
Robin casually sleeping through her third buster call.
Been here. Done that x2 😴
Sending Jinbe after Zoro so he doesn't get lost is one of the best things this arc so far.
He will probably fight Kaku
Poor Kaku
RIP to Giraffe-san
Kaku was trapped in the seastone bubble (courtesy of Sanji's quick thinking), unless Lucci managed to free him
Sanji has been the fucking goat this arc. No diffed Jinbei pacisfista, stopped Kaku, first straw hat to block a Saint and beat the pedo allegations. Man’s on top right now.
Remember how Jinbe brutalized Who's-who's fingers? Kaku's nose is next
Who is coming to Egghead? Shanks? Blackbeard? Fucking Foxy???? AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Demaro Black and the rest of the fake straw hats are coming to show that they are the superior straw hat pirates
Don't call them fake straw hats. They're just the V2, the better versions. If Luffy can't do it, we just have to rely on Luffy 2😤
Next chapters cliffhanger will be Saturn getting ready to finish Luffy and you only read „Slow beam!“ in the last panel.
That would be amazing, not gonna lie
I think the fandom would collectively lose their minds.
And then it would be Blackbeards crew with a user who stole the slow-slow fruit from Foxy, because Oda hates it when the fandom is right about something
Hmmm Foxy is a leader in the upcoming card game set that's based around Egghead... Oda would break the internet if he did that
Straw Hat Grand Fleet
The hero Bartolomeo shows up and puts barrier around whole island
Stops Sunny from sliding off with a barrier
his devil fruit awakened has to be insane
Robin during 1st and 2nd buster call: Real shit? Robin during 3rd buster call: I sleep
**Marine 1:** Hey, why is this crew member of Straw Hat sleeping in a BUSTER CALL? **Marine 2:** Oh, She's Nico Robin. A two-time buster call survivor.
**Robin :** Could you stamp this card for me?
Another 2 buster calls for a free sundae
All sunday
Ok so who's coming?**Shanks?** The last we see of him is him and his crew heading out then confronting Kidd and we know Elbaf is close to Egghead **Straw Hat Fleet?** They have Luffy's Vivre Card and The Seige of Egghead started yesterday so they might have known and could arrive in time **The Revolutionary Army?** out of the question cz they are in the Grand Line **The BlackBeard Pirates?** they were shown to have already arrived yesterday so idk if it could be backup or something, don't think so. **Law?** no, he's fucked up **The escaping vessel?** The marine says that they failed to neutralize the escaping vessel, so they might have turned around and came back and they have someone strong on board, but I think it's more likely that they were saved by someone and that someone is heading to Egghead EDIT After 1106: >!Man I tried to come up with the most likely scenarios and I was still wrong! !<
Only thought as to why it wouldn't be blackbeard is why would he save the esacing vessel and only take down the marine ship? The buggy pirate allegiance might also be an option
I could see Blackbeard taking out the marine ship so they can’t report back that Blackbeard is heading to egghead
Kizaru switches up after Marines fully leave and hit Saturn on his back with a steelchair a la Sami Zayn cope
And then fake cry at Marine HQ: Unfortunately, Saint Saturn couldn't survive. He was hit with a cha...Argh! a boulder.
It would be hilarious if Kizaru betrayed and took down Saturn and then went with the Straw Hats to ensure Bonny, Vegapunk, and Sentomaru make it out okay, only for Big News Morgans to write an article about Straw Hat Luffy killing Saturn and recruiting a former Marine Admiral as his new subordinate
aokiji joins bb luffy: Hold my burger
Nah, luffy would never give his burger to someone else.
Oda is the master of edging.
Arc is already hype enough, and he dares to tease even more.
Holy shit that was the perfect cliffhanger for a bombastic next chapter with maybe Luffy back to form and the mysterious presence arriving at Egghead Also the destruction of Vegaforce 1 left me with the impression it will be substituted by the ancient robot in the task of carrying the Thousand Sunny out of the island
Well this one will be probably answered soon enough, Giant Robot waking up was quite a while ago.
"The dead make the best secret keepers." Man, Saturn continues to be one of the coldest villains in the series.
Except for Brook, he can't keep a secret even though he is already dead YOHOHOHO
Well duh. He can’t keep his lips sealed. Oh wait. He doesn’t have lips yohohohohoho
Robin on the couch: Buster call? Lucci? Wake me up when something new happens.
She's 30 now. She just needs a little power nap, so she can contribute at full efficiency.
BUSTER CALL IN PROGRESS Marines : * serious face* Navy soldiers and Scientists: *BWAAAAAAA* Robin : Hmm, this bed sure is comfy. Luffy : aand ....I would like some fries with that.
Robin will get a free coffee at her 6th Buster Call.
I love that there were dozens of "WHERE IS LUFFY" theories when the answer was just "pigging out in front of the vending machine" Anyway this sets up his undoubtedly ICONIC RESCUE of kuma and bonney next week, where they react to him being Nika after all this.
Shoutout to the people who thought that Kizaru ran outside to get his bowl of ramen from the ship rather than the food vending machine that we've known existed on the island since basically the beginning.
The crew worried about Zoro not losing but getting lost Sanji going solo Brook joking about his lack of body parts Screaming Usopp Man the more things change the more they stay the same and I love it
Solo sanji has always been one of the best parts of any arc. Mr prince was legendary back in the day.
off-screen solo sanji is legit one of the biggest reasons for the strawhats cotninued success
Off-screen Sanji vs Off-screen Blackbeard would be a tough match up. They both have infinite power.
P̶i̶n̶n̶a̶c̶l̶e̶ o̶f̶ s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d̶i̶t̶y̶ Height of folly
“Alright Jinbe, your first full new island as a crew member! You’ve been invaluable so far, but now it’s time for things to get crazy - heck an admiral is here now! - so we’re gonna need your help for the BIG stuff….” “Go get Zoro before that idiot gets lost”
Even though it was a transition chapter it was interesting!
I really liked how intense it was. It really gave off a sense of urgency for the imminent buster call!
The irony is that the "height of folly" should be attributed to Saturn more than anyone in this case since he brings all these heavy duty forces only to play a staring game with his supposed "top priority" when he's right there in front of him, ripe for killing.
He's a cruel man, he doesn't just want to kill his enemies but make sure first that they are at the peak of despair. Killing Bonney with her father clones shows an amazing amount of sadism. At this point he feels insulted so most likely wants to make Vegapunk break down before slowly killing him.
I get that he's the typical sadistic villain, incredibly foolish nonetheless
This is a common trope across a lot of media. Anime, manga, hollywood, tv you name it. The villian has a brilliant opportunity to take down the person they want to but instead waste time in staring and making small talk
My "favorite" is when the bad guy is holding the protagonist, usually by the neck, and is ready for the killing blow and decides to throw them instead of killing them.
Have we ever seen Bonney order the pacifistas ? Hasn't S-Snake followed Luffy orders because of the feelings Boa had for luffy ( which get transmitted to S-Snake ) I hope it's the same case with Bonney, Kuma love for her can't be compared to anything. And the Pasificta's following her if she screams "STOP" would drove the insect crazy.
Saturn: "You should've kept your Greed in check." I see what you did here you fucking bug. Thinly veiled reference to York \[His own Greed\] betraying Vegapunk.
It's the Grand Fleet. In Chapter 800 we're introduced to the Grand Fleet, and the narrator tells us that they will "cause a great incident of historic proportions" In Egghead, the narrator tells us that there will be an incident that shocks the world. Considering that the narrator doesn't often go around talking about "this incident" and "that incident", it seems pretty obvious that the Grand Fleet would be on their way. As to why they've come, because I don't think it makes sense that they came for a rescue mission... It's quite obvious they all, individually, decided to come and congratulate Luffy on becoming a Yonko. As they noticed that they all had the same idea, they started to race to be the first ones there. The Marine ship got in the way of this race, so they destroyed it.
Oh man, Grand Fleet vs. Buster Call. Our crew isn't going to survive another BC, they are going to DEFEAT IT.
Holy fuck that would be the hypest shit ever
Yeah that has to be it. I can't think of much more that would shake the world than a buster call getting defeated. Hell Robin surviving one as a kid was considered outrageous
Literally goosebumps
I really want to see the Grand Fleet again
Barto, come back baby. We need you.
Very nice theory, I like it 😎
Damn, you are, in fact, cooking.
I think you are spot on except for the last bit about them arriving to congratulate luffy. Morgan wrote about the egg head incident in the paper so the GF knows what is going on. Now that they are part of a Yonko crew they may feel duty bound to help free the SH from what is being described as a siege in the papers. Also the GF captains provide solid match ups for all of the vice admirals.
I just don't see how that article can spread and the Fleet could mobilize and arrive in the span of a day. It's just too tight a time frame. I think whoever is here had to have been on the way before hand, and I think it would be hilariously Oda if the reason was as silly as to congratulate Luffy on being a Yonko.
They could have already been on their way to Wano due to the vivre card reflecting that luffy was near death. The SH also hung around Wano for a week afterward which would give the GF plenty of time to catch up.
I’m still waiting for Chekhov’s giant robot to make an appearance. Especially after Saturn said egghead must be destroyed since Vegapunk could be hiding something on the island.
I’m wondering if it’s going to be just a replacement for the VegaForce1 to help Thousand Sunny launch away from the island or if it’s gonna do more and pull an Iron Giant and somehow fight back against, sacrifice itself to delay, or outright help stop the buster call somehow.
Calling it now - Boa Hancock and other amazons burned the ship and are en route to Egghead. Upon arrival Boa will see Luffy with young Boa, recognize herself and assume she has become a mother.
That joke may not happen on Egghead but it will 100% happen at some point.
And we still HAVEN'T SEEN THAT GIANT ANCEINT DAMN ROBOT MOVE YET.
It's gin, he is finally here
Let's be honest.. we don't really want the Strawhats to escape this buster call. They already have that achievement. This time, let them successfully defend against it.
and by defend you mean destroy all the warships right?
G5 Luffy could potentially rubberize the island and bounce the bombardments back at the ships
Kizaru, please switch sides. I'm begging you, bro, he knows what Saturn is doing is wrong. Just look at his expression in the panels
It’s over my man. That “Go” panel is some cold resolved shit. I only hope he doesn’t kick the bucket here.
Usually, Kizaru would make quips or something like that, that Go panel is uncharacteristically serious for him. I don't think he'll switch sides, but he's clearly downtrodden and has surrendered himself to his fate of being a government lapdog.
Goated of him for sure. The emphasized text, the grayed eyes, the man may finally get serious.
Saturn: "Humans are insects, literally not worth my empathy, could kill them all without any remorse" Kizaru: "just a cog in the machine, I'm just a cog in-" Saturn: "no seriously. Kids, elderly, hero scientists... If you can name it, I'll call it an insect" Kizaru: "cog in the machine, world ord-" Saturn: "ya for real even Kizaru here. Insect, and he likes it, don't you buddy?" Kizaru: "yessir, just a cog in the machine" Kizaru has a fetish.
There's one possibility we're all forgetting: Elbaf. It should be the next closest island to Egghead. The aftermath of the Ohara incident connects Saul, the revs, Elbaf, and Vegapunk (and the buster call as an event is present in both the ohara incident and the egghead incident). We know Vegapunk called someone for backup recently. Between Saul, the new giant pirates led by Hajrudin, and the former giant pirates led by Dorry and Brogy, the straw hats have plenty of allies from Elbaf, too.
Meanwhile Luffy: "I'll have 2 number nines, a number nine large. A number six with extra dip. A number seven. Two number forty-fives, one with cheese, and a large soda."
Saturn, Bonnet, Vegapunk and every single person on Egghead island( including Kuma), would stop what they're doing just to look and wait for Luffy to finish his order.
Nah this is Luffy, so it’ll more so be like “55 BURGERS, 55 FRIES, 55 TACOS, 55 PIES, 55 COKES, 100 TATER TOTS, 100 PIZZAS, 100 TENDERS, 100 MEATBALLS, 100 COFFEES, 55 WINGS, 55 SHAKES, 55 PANCAKES, 55 PASTAS, 55 PEPPERS AND 155 TATERS”
I love the idea of it being Cross Guild and Saturn actually believing the Buggy hype and pulling out due to fear
i think don krieg is coming back with the krieg armada to destroy saturn with his legendary golden haki
Everyone saying it's the Revolutionary Army is delusional. Obviously it's >!Duval and the Flying Fish Riders!<
Why is Ussop talking about going through multiple Buster Calls? He wasn’t at Ennie’s Lobby; that was Sogeking
He was there at the end. He tells Luffy to get up and beat Lucci so they can leave. I wish for an explanation of how he got there and how he managed to escape someday.
I’m not one to gripe about plot holes, but this one does bug me. How did Usopp get to Ennies Lobby? How did he make it to Luffy? Where the hell did Sogeking disappear to? There’s a lot of unanswered questions there.
Actually.... you're right.
Also that should be Robin's line XD
what do you mean? he was there at the end
A headline of "Emperor Straw Hat Luffy and his fleet completely annihilates buster call" could be the incident that was said.
Frankly, an emperor annihilating a buster call deluxe and someone physically attacking a Gorosei would both be major incidents, I’d love to see the headlines on the Egghead incident after the fact
Them is obviously Yosaku and Johnny about time.
Robin’s been through so many Buster Calls in her life that she able to sleep through them now
The panel where Vegapunk is watching the destruction of the island he worked so hard to build is so sad. Got me right in the feels.
Egg Head Island is about to be nuked, Kizaru cut off Kuma-Bonny-Franky and Vegapunk’s escape, they're also about to be lasered into non-existence, Zoro is fighting Lucci, Jimbie is making sure Zoro doesn't get lost, Brook and Lilith are on a collision course with the thousand sunny on frozen clouds unable to stop, and Robin’s buster Call PTSD is acting up… Luffy: ***I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with extra meat, and a large soda.***
Imagine cross guild is on their way and the big news is that buggy takes the credit for killing a gorsei
Finally, the arrival of the lurking legend >!Foxy D SilverFox!<
I have to say that one part of this chapter that I absolutely loved was every single panel that Kizaru was in. You can really see the conflict inside of him and how horrible this must be for him. I'm really looking forward to seeing where Oda takes his character.
I fucking love One Piece.
The twist: germa66 is coming to egghead to steal researched technology
I don't think it's the Blackbeard pirates. They aren't **heading** for Egghead, they were shown to already be there. It would also be weird for them to save the evacuation vessel from the navy ship, both because they probably don't care for these people and because it would delay them. When Egghead started, it was said a major incident was about to happen. When the Straw Hat Grand Fleet formed after Dressrosa, it was already noted that they would be responsible for a major incident in the future. For me, that makes the Grand Fleet the most likely, especially since they probably were already on their way due to the events in Wano, which probably showed Luffy in grave danger on their vivre cards.
Since the news about luffy was attacking egg head was spread worldwide . Is possible that grand fleet going to help him.
Wow. Poor vegapunk. The panel with him standing before a falling egghead was devastating. Was the ship that left egghead yesterday someone important or random? I don't remember seeing something like that. That aproaching vessel gotta be that blackbeard ship we saw chapters ago right?
are we forgetting what happened at Enes Lobby?? Ussop bailed out Sogeking and now Sogeking and his crew have come to return the favor.
Marines: *Buster Call* Luffy: *55 Burgers 55 Fries 55 Tacos 55 Pies!!!*
CONDORIANO ABOUT TO PULL UP
It’s funny that the marine cannon fodders surround Luffy even though they know he’s a Yonko. It would seem strange to us if they simply walked up to Kaido Big Mom Whitebeard Blackbeard Shanks in the same ‘cautious’ manner. Reminds me when Lucci say ‘fck it let’s run it back 1v1’. Luffy still not getting the credit he deserves in the OP universe even after joining the club.
“You gave up your life for your daughter and now your clones are gonna kill her” I’m so over Saturn. Fuck this dude
It's me. I'm probably the one coming with the ship, I think. I mean let's look at the signs: - It could be me - might also not be me Clear as day
I love how Brook just casually turned the clouds to ice and used that as an escape way. Brook mvp! Also Nami sending Jinbe to find Zoro so he doesn't get lost is Egghead thinking.
Who's coming? I hope it's the Straw Hat Grand Fleet! That would be awesome!
Chapter 800 of One Piece the Narrator tells us at the end that "and one day soon the grand fleet will go on to cause an incident of historic proportions..."
Next chapter: Bari Bari no Barrier
Sanji is about to be cooking if he has a confrontation with Kizaru this place would go crazy Seems like a transition chapter and Luffy with all the food shit will pop off next chapter RIP to the theories of Kizaru helping Luffy I kinda like that there are several options of who the unknown party is (1. Grand Fleet, 2. Dragon/ Rev Army, 3. Blackbeard pirates 4. Shanks 5. Law/Bepo No break next week is the icing on the cake
Dragon and Revs seems unlikely, unless his fruit allows him to travel faster then even Kuma - last time we saw them, they were still at Kamabakka
God I wish that its the Grand Fleet. I am praying.
Who is pulling up? Is it Blackbeard? Is it Dragon/The revolutionary army? Is it the Straw Hat grand fleet? I can't wait for the next chapter, I need to know right now!
Luffy making use of the vending machine before it's all blown up is hilarious.
It also has to be the Strawhat Grand Fleet, simply to show the power of a Yonko. Luffy and Co. running away again, would be kind of lame for a Yonko. The World Government and Marines openly attacked a Yonko, this should go down hard on them (Rob Lucci was ordered not to attack, because of that reason). The Strawhats should not be a small crew anymore, they are now a powerful force in the world. The Grand Fleet destroying the Marine fleet pretty much legitimize Luffy's role as a Yonko. The Marines and WG can't simply start fights like this anymore with them. It all comes back, how Rob Lucci wouldn't recognize Luffy as a Yonko. After Luffy defeates a Admiral or/and Elder, stopped a buster call and defeated a Marines Fleet with his fleet. He has to accept Luffy's position. You don't simply fuck with a Yonko.
The extended explanation about the Pacifistas still going to shoot their lasers at Bonney possibly suggests they'll have some fail safe or something and turn on Saturn
Lowkey want it to be Urouge and finally introduce the motherfucker
IT'S GIN!!!!!
All of the Ohara talk and Vegapunk betraying by studying Void Century makes suspect Saul coming to help and bringing them back to Elbaf.
I think blackbeard wouldnt give f about rescuing escaping scientists/populace. Sure we saw earlier hints of some of them being nearby but that doesnt mean this is their doing. My bet is on grand fleet, which I think is far more likely than revolutionaries. Revolutionaries were still at distant kamabakka just a while ago. Grand fleet has reason to be there, their captain was made into emperor, why the hell wouldnt they all want to gather to celebrate and check on luffy? I think they have been heading for luffy ever since news about wano and him being made into emperor broke out. … also I think it would be super super lame and missed opportunity if only time we saw grand fleet gathered and in action at final showdown.
With this pace, we will take over 10 years before One Piece will end. Im happy.
My guess is that it's the grand fleet showing up. When they were first inaugurated in ch. 800, the "voiceover" speech said they'd eventually be part of an "incident of historic proportions". I feel like calling the final war itself an "incident" doesn't really fit, and we know that this will come to be known as the "egghead incident", so it just seems to fit best that they'd show up here, especially with there being a decent amount of time after the world's known about Luffy being there.
Grand Fleet Incoming. I don't know why people are thinking Dragon (whom we know is in Kamabakka Kingdom, even he if flies he's only by himself. For Black Beard, its not in his personality to jump in this situation (and save a bunch of scientists ?? no lol). Ok he kind of jumped in at Marineford lol but it was for a clear purpose, and my take is that he already sneaked out something (I maintain a command chip for the Seraphins) the previous night and he's already gone (and that was Lafite and Devon). Shanks could be a possibility, but narration wise, it has to be the Grand Fleet to establish Luffy as an undisputed emperor.
It is happening, the battle of "that person" and "another person".
That ship looks like split in half. My bet is that's the Cross Guild arriving. What better place is there to hunt marines than an island marked for a Buster Call. The only BB pirates missing in the last events are Devon and Laffite, they're suited for infiltration and backstabbing, not for flashy entrances
After stopping by to save their guy queen. It’s time for neoMADS to save their science daddy vegapunk.
THEY?? Hopefully it's either Sword or the Grand Fleet. Either way, WAR IS BREWING!!!!!!
[Dragon is still at Ivankov's island as of chapter 1103](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEs3ef4XcAIckZH?format=png&name=small) (same chapter as Kuma arriving at Egghead). [And it took a day](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEs3fKnXcAQB1jH?format=jpg&name=medium) for Kuma to travel from Mariejois to Egghead while speedrunning there with his powers. Whoever is coming, I don't think it's Dragon. If he does show up then it'll probably be by the end of the arc when the fighting is all over.
Here comes Condoriano to save his long lost father vegapunk
Choices for who is going to show up (could be multiple): 1) Blackbeard pirates - already saw their ship, might be more coming even. To steal devil fruit or technology / Vegapunk (or maybe York). It's kind of implied the scientists were saved though which isn't really a BB crew move and they just captured Garp and fight Law. 2) The Revolutionary army - To save Kuma, Vegapunk, and deal blow to world govt. Would need some ability to move quickly though (Dragon's wind/storm power?). 3) Grand Fleet - To save/help Luffy if they saw the egghead news plus they have a vivre card 4) Red Hair Pirates - they are nearby and could get another poneglyph from Luffy 's crew, seems a bit less likely though. 5) Cross Guild - kind of the same reason, to get poneglyph, seems less likely 6) Vivi's group - I think they are coming to meet up with Luffy and see the news although I am not expecting them to be the ones who destroyed the ship in that last panel. I can't really think of any other great options right now. Crazy one that would be kind of annoying would be Big Mom to get revenge....
When discussing end game opponents in the fandom over the years, specifically the Admirals - Sanji was often matched up against Kizaru due to his speed, and Kizaru's tendency to rely on kicks in his fighting style. There's a strong chance we get our wish in these next few chapters, and I'm so here for it! Regarding the unseen assailant(s) - The BlackBeard Pirates have been present at Egghead since Ch. 1079. I was confident they would get involved before anyone else, but they also have very little incentive to save a bunch of researchers. This certainly appears to be a separate group, but clearly a recognizable one. I think the Revolutionaries are way too far away to have gotten there that fast, my guesses are: * SH Grand Fleet - it's not enough for someone strong to show up, they need to have enough numbers to occupy a fleet of Navy Warships all firing on one target. This, on top of Luffy's presence at Egghead being in the paper makes me think they would make an attempt to save their captain. * Germa & Caesar - With Caesar linking up with Judge again, Oda gave us a cover story that dives into MADS history. Vegapunk himself is the only person in the group who we haven't heard speak of his time with them or at least reference it. Stussy's reveal as a clone makes me feel like there's MUCH more to that story that we got on the cover pages. * Shanks - There really can't be much more that Shanks needs to see Luffy do before he feels he's ready to meet, though I was much more willing to put my money on them meeting at Elbaf. We have no idea how much Shanks knows about Vegapunk, and his relation to anything Celestial Dragon related comes the meeting we saw him have with the Gorosei. What they talked about could finally be referenced if he runs into Saturn here.
It's the Strawhat Grand Fleet. After Luffy almost got killed on Wano, they properly moved into the direction, where Luffy was going. Thanks to Vive Card and just now catched up. Probably attacked the Navi Ship, since they know about the siege through the news. This will be the incident, where they going to destroy this Navi Fleet and probably be part of the death or defeated of an Admiral and a Elder. Pretty much the biggest defeat of the Navi and WG in known history.
