There's only one way Vegapunk could have implanted the cyborg parts in those kids and kept them looking so real:

Yeah, a double flashback yet another Yamato flip-flop and a useless Marco flashback and then a confused half chapter with everything else compressed. Eh.

presumably next will be 'i never wanted to join the crew,' and then after that will be chopper going 'luffy, youre experiencing delirium. there was never anyone named yamato on wano.'

Feels more like it's still setting up Yamato joining the crew at a later point. The guy says he still wants to, after all, and I don't believe Oda would be bothering with this flashback otherwise.

The only catch is: what would need to happen for Yamato to feel Wano is "ready enough" to defend itself? Would likely be a while until that happens.

This is exactly what I thought was being communicated when green bull showed up and momo frantically tried to solo him.

BB's crew seems too ragged to actually use the mero mero so it seems weird for him to go after it this hard. Surely making friends with hancock would be an easier option.

i think either Blackbeard is just kind of an oblivious moron or he’s that *and* this is gonna be the buildup to an arc of him having done everything he did to be respected/adored and not really having any of that beyond a surface level despite gaming the devil fruit system and pissing most of his life away as a peon when he’s been implied to be on the level of a Whitebeard fleet commander because he couldn’t just be happy with what he could have had. I’m probably reaching though!

The yamato stuff is still frustrating but it was at least nice to see the flashback we should have gotten like 3 chapters ago. The Marco stuff was cute. The rest of the chapter was incredible; the new pacifistas are insane

I can't believe how much Oda is able to stuff into a single chapter. It's also great to see Blackbeard in action and justifying his status as emperor.

Yeah it's interesting how almost all of his action has been off-screen, fun to finally see him in action again. I love how his crew are just a bunch of mean, dumb shitheads, like the villains in a kids movie :allears:

I do love how connected all this was Judge's clone soldiers, Queen's cyborg parts, King's Lunarian lineage, and then you have Vegapunk combining all of that into one and he's
also the guy who invented a proper artificial Devil Fruits. Kizaru's and Kaido's. And remember, those kids from Punk Hazards are meant to be taken to Vegapunk, right? Now, what's gonna happened to them? They could've got rid of Tashigi and Smoker


Thank you!

I was gonna say, Vegapunk was JUST given a supply of experimental giant children, and we know the last batch of Pacafistas were cyborgs made to look like Kuma, not clones or the like.

Guys, think these are the kids from Punk Hazard. I am also worried that part of the reason that one looks like Hancock is because the WG knows her power works best with her looks. Which, if true, would also imply that they might also have a means of copying her power.

Yes. Also we know the pirate empress has to abdicate when they fall in love and want to settle down, so I think the implication here is that Shakky gave up her throne to get with Rayleigh

It was theorized for a while because of her name (Japanese for "Peony", fitting with the Amazon naming scheme) and age.

Coby just got on the wrong boat again

Chapter was good but, just like everyone else, I had to re-read it to understand what happened with Blackbeard and Hancock and the Pacifista, and the Yamato stuff at the beginning felt shoe-horned in. But like someone else said, it was cool to see BB actually do something. We haven't seen him use his Darkness fruit since Impel Down, and I don't think we've seen him use his other fruit since he first got it.

Has anyone noticed that they called the new Pacifista "Seraphims"? Cool name, fits with the Celestial Dragon theme.

Since when do we know this? Back when the Pacifistas first appeared on Sabaody it was pretty thoroughly established that they were identical to Kuma aside from his devil fruit power and the personality he still had back then. Since then we've learned that cloning technology exists and is connected to Vegapunk's research, I'd say it's almost certain that the old Pacifistas are straight up clones of Kuma.
