Very hype chapter. The panel with all the elders blankly staring at the iron giant was peak one piece. Zoro and Jinbe got their hype moment clashing with the god of finance. I think Oda really balanced the elders out, nobody can actually stop them, but there’s way to survive against them if they’re separated. Their hubris in just sending St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro to take care of the straw hats backfired hard because the elders themselves believe that they are unstoppable (probably due to the centuries of not fighting in their true forms).

Oda is edging that D for as long as possible. I just want the D right now.

Question, is Vegapunk trans if three of his satellites are women? Like for Imu all his satellites are manly manliest men who turn into kaiju (so Imu is definitely a guy lmao, L for all the femme Imu theories) but Vegapunk is kinda sus here. There are actually no male satellites because robots don’t count and Shaka is covered from head to toe (basically looks like a robot/cyborg).

The women are violence, evil, and greed. Shaka is just “good” and the robots represent his thinking and wisdom (which is why I don’t count them, they’re clearly just the science parts of him). .

A man who has 3 women inside of him who all represent his outward emotions but also has a “man” that represents his apparent “goodness” (who like is the first to die lmao). I think I’m getting somewhere.

Lore drop is over, time to get the fuck outta there. I wonder if the Japanese fans have any insight on what Vegapunk was about to say based on the translation note?

Hope that’s not the last we see of the robot, feels like it hasn’t done anything cool yet

Aghhhh. Zoro going against an elder had me grinning. Also down goes the iron giant nothing bombastic I guess.

Shout out noland and his pals. Also smoker.

I still don’t know how they are escaping. The strawhats are split. Half with giants and half on the ship.

Either way if punk is dead then elders would wanna clean up quick. If they do may be there will more collateral damage. Does punk have more tricks to keep the mother flame away?

But I do know what punk was gonna say : Those of you that carry the letter D in your name, among you there is

This chapter is sick. Kitetsu I now officially accounted for is cool. I hope to see Zoro compare nasjuro to mihawk. I wonder which is stronger.
