Odyssey: it should be annoying how the game seems to force you onward to the main objective when you try to go a different way, but Zoro et al keep chiming in "no, this is actually the right way" so it becomes amazing instead. :allears:

Yeah, I did find it annoying to see something I wanted to look at and get forcibly turned around, but once I hit a point where Zoro is confidently proclaiming,"This way guys!" and THAT is why they all* turn around it started working for me :allears:

* except for Luffy, of course, who believes him wholeheartedly.

Also the "that's not a panda, it's a sunburned polar bear" bit between Usopp and Chopper is amazing.

I can't remember if it is in the manga or just added to the anime for filler, but some of Doffy's goons frantically shushing and shaking their heads at Luffy as he's laughing his rear end off at Pika's voice cracked me up.

blackbeard's one great crime was betraying whitebeard. everything else he's done is pretty normal pirate poo poo. he's definitely a bad person that is directly opposed to luffy, but he's not fundamentally different from say, don krieg. teach is just more capable and successful, is all.

I think Blackbeard and his subordinates (especially Shiliew) stand out as especially bad due to all the gratuitous murdering they do, as opposed to the more pragmatic murdering that people like Don Krieg do. Blackbeard selects crew members by making the Level 6 prisoners fight each other to the death, Shiliew has previously killed other prisoners for sport, and Caterina Devon collects the heads of beautiful women. Though I think Krieg killed 1 or 2 of his own subordinates basically for speaking out of turn, so maybe there's not that much of a difference. And maybe Don Krieg isn't even the best point of comparison here; there's some dark humor about CP9 and the Donquixote Pirates killing large numbers of people to avoid the consequences of Fukuro's talkativeness and Baby 5's bad taste in men, respectively, and I'm pretty sure we're supposed to find Kaku and Senor Pink, at least, likable to a degree. And then there's Kidd and the aptly-named Killer. So I guess you're basically right.

I think Saul showing up in person a couple chapters after it's revealed he's alive would be a bit odd. Why not just reveal he's alive when he shows up in person?

Kidd also just got to Elbaf and he's looking for the man marked by fire so it would make more dramatic sense for Saul to be hiding out on Elbaf and Kidd to start messing things up there before Luffy arrives. After all, Saul was apparently working with other giants and even if he wasn't a fan of Elbaf's warrior culture, that's definitely a country where Saul could lay low beyond the World Government's reach.

But Saul is awesome and I want Robin to see him again so I'd be thrilled if it did turn out to be Saul!

My money is on Stussy though. Her familiarity with the island and the appearance of a mysterious woman as a member of MADS is too suspicious.

We got the cover arc reveal of Pudding being kidnapped in the same chapter that we see the aftermath, and we're getting a cover arc about MADs at the same time we're meeting one of its primary members, both technically in the same cover arc. Oda is slamming through the story beats at breakneck pace, so I can absolutely see Saul turning up immediately.

Something I'd point out is that the other Vegapunks' reaction to activating this secret person was like "Oh poo poo this is gonna completely turn the tides of the fight" so IMO it would have to be someone whose pretty strong if Vegapunk, who knows exactly who he's dealing with, thinks they're strong enough to fend off CP0 and Saul doesn't really fit that bill to me.

There's also the whole 'If they join the fight they'll be an enemy of the government" line which kind of automatically disqualifies Saul as he's been an enemy of the government ever since he busted Robin's mom out of prison

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
Seen a lot of theorizing that "that person" vegapunk called is Scopper Gaban, the last of the Rogers "Monster Trio" who is coming out of retirement and out of hiding to protect something.

Yeah at this point I think it has to be either Scopper Gaban, Kuma in a new body, or a new character(Another Lunarian would make sense, Vegapunk being able to make the Seraphim with just the data from when King was in custody seems a bit sketch)

I feel like if Vegapunk's ally here is a whole new character, I'm expecting it to be like Prince Loki or someone else from Elbaf. Ties into that and gives the crew someone from there to associate with from the offset. Plus, we know the WG are interested in gigantification and I find it implausible that Vegapunk wouldn't also be working on that (mandatorily) and be able to explain what the deal there is.

Kuma doesn't make much sense 'cause his body is flying back here for some reason. If he's got a cool new body capable of taking on CP0, what's his old one doing? Though I'll admit there's enough weirdness going on with the Kuma situation it's a possibility. The idea that his mind is being stored on Egghead makes sense at least.

Scopper Gaban seems like he's only being floated because he's probably the most important character we know nothing about. So, sure, a possibility because we don't know anything about him, but it doesn't seem like anything has actually suggested him in particular.

Out of curiosity, why would you think it can't be Stussy?
