poo poo, that’s actually a really good idea, there is a lot that was said that sets up exactly this potentially happening, including the greenblood thing and how it only applies to Paramecia Types.

I'm very afraid of this now, but hoping Garp either while Blackbeard is fighting Law or when being still weak from fighting Law will lead to them just running away and leaving Koby behind

However, Zoro being pissed at being woken up rules. Defending the ship in his sleep (again, he did it against Baroque works too IIRC)

It's gotta be Kuma. His whole bit of escaping his friends a few chapters ago chronologically starting just now when Vegapunk made the call. "Of course. I've always been prepared for this order."

There's a real rear end chance Straw Hats escape to Elbaf, too! It's relatively close and probably safe enough from the world government

Make sense for them to like rocket off Egghead and end up at Elbaf, and Kid getting to Elbaf is just setting up that he's there too

i suppose the bits we’ve seen could be a flashback to several days/weeks ago as a twist but I find it hard to believe he goes from a mute robot to answering so eloquently that quick. It would also be weird for VP to hide him from Bonnie and lie to her about him not being able to be fixed. (maybe there is an added twist and the ones we’ve seen have always been robots, and VP’s answer meant “I can’t fix him because I never actually made him a robot”)

He considers the dragon fruit a failure because it's pink. I could totally believe that Kuma, for all intents and purposes, will be fixed but he's still got some metal parts and thus cannot be fixed by Vegapunk's standards. The speech thing I'd assume it's like a super secret channel between him and Vegapunk that is his only means of verbal communication, to better sell the whole robot thing.

The secret ally is probably Stussy, especially since last chapter's mystery MADS member looks just like her.

the way things played out in the chapter made it seem like this mystery person has been in hiding this whole time on standby, perhaps having been hidden at or near Egghead for a long time. That's definitely NOT Stussy.

Maybe the reason Vegapunk can't restore Kuma is because he put his brain in a different body, which is hiding out on Egghead and ready to reveal itself.

Or perhaps... hidden under an alias, having worked her way to the top of the WG's intelligence agency. On standby to drop that undercover position and help save her old friend Vegapunk if needed.

That makes more sense to me than a powerful-but-wanted person physically hiding somewhere on a super-important government island for a really long time.

Yeah I also kinda feel like it's someone who has been hiding out for a long time, not someone we've seen over the past few chapters like Stussy or Kuma, especially since we've already gotten the whole "several robot bodies" reveal, going "actually we have even more robot bodies! anyone could secretly be a robot now!" would seem super redundant.

My left field guess is it is going to be someone from Roger's or maybe even Whitebeard's crew. Vegapunk described them in such a way that they would make escape easy, even moreso than Gear 5 Emperor Luffy, and that's gotta describe few people on the planet. I am probably wrong but it would be neat.

The One True Oden

Great chapter.

Zoro waking up to defend the ship was sick as hell. Glad he also gets a rematch.

Since we now know that Elbaf is the next island over, I think the person Vegapunk called was a giant he did a favor for in the past. We know that giants take that kind of thing extremely seriously, so of course they'd come as soon as they were called, no problem, and it would give us a reason and method for them to escape to Elbaf for the next major arc!

you mean like Kuma, whose devil fruit power allows people to literally instantly vanish and appear in another location?
