In the same way we can't trust any character has died unless we see the dead body buried, I will not trust any character is not just a clone of an important figure from the past unless we saw them get born directly

If Stussy truly is a clone made by Vegapunk, then why isn’t she pink!?

We've never seen Bakkin's eyes so I bet that's where the defect is.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
Right; how many characters have we seen being born so that we can knock them off the list of clones? I can think of Ace off the top of my head. We also have Oden's kids as babies, so they're fine.

That one is very unlikely, at least: We have seen an SBS with official Oda art of what an older Luffy would look like, and he doesn't look particularly similar to Roger.

I'm thinking Kaku is going to get handed off to one of the other Straw Hats to fight

Cause they're clearly not a threat to Zoro even in their awakened form

I can't see that happening. Kaku's already been defeated all the way back in Enies Lobby, and now he's gone down like a punk to Stussy. He'll probably just be out of the fight for the rest of the arc until he and Lucci have to flee and/or end up subdued by Kizaru for disobedience.

Well, Vegapunk is a little rough on the math but I'd say their only about 6/7 clone at most.

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
weevil doesn't really resemble young whitebeard that closely so i'd expect some further twist there if there's anything like that - he's a failed clone! he's an attempt to combine whitebeard's dna with oars' to form a super pirate! or some other ridiculous idea i haven't thought of

Nah, Weevil is totally an imperfect clone. Miss Buckin worked for MADS and offered to let them clone her in exchange for a clone of Whitebeard... though for some reason it didn't come out quite right...

On another note, I love how Caesar is showing off an artificial devil fruit on the cover page (curly stem, but with dots on the fruit). He doesn't know how to make them though, which implies this is Vegapunk's work which he's claiming credit for.

Oh, we got info all right, but then Oda (being Oda) ended up tantalizing us with even more loving mysteries.

Theory: the secret that Kuma told Vegapunk to keep from Bonney is that he was already dying - something terminal is a great time to go "yeah sure turn my body into a robot, also hang onto my memories", because what've you got to lose?

Not entirely sure why he'd want Vegapunk to keep it on the down low, maybe just because it'd hurt her to know he was dead no matter what

What if Luffy is a clone of Luffy, and he's never actually won a fight; he just dies and a new luffy is swapped in off panel and everyone's in on it except the reader.

I was of two minds about Vegapunk ever actually being revealed in the comic but I have to say that he has been an utter delight and I love that in true One Piece fashion, him being an unparalleled genius doesn't stop him from being a giant loving moron :allears:

I hope the next issue opens with Vegapunk turning towards the reader and stating, "Stussy is the only clone that has ever been created - there are exactly zero clones elsewhere in the entire world" like that panel where squirrel lady defeats Thanos.
