Ok, I did not expect Vivi to wind up with Morgans (or with Wapol for that matter), I’m still expecting her to hook back up with Luffy and co eventually though

More importantly, is Carue ok?

It's easy to forget, but After Act 2 of Wano in chapter 956, after Morgans was attacked by that one Cipher Pol agent, he got a phone call from Wapol who wanted to tell him some information

Also didn’t Morgans basically tell the WG to gently caress off a little while back? Why does he suddenly care about making them look better?

So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?

They actually let him keep it.
I wonder if there's a reason Luffy seems to be unable to catch his breath and his tongue won't stop Vegapunking. Seems like a bit much for just running around off-panel.

He's tapping into Vegapunk's cloud brain with the voice of all things?!
Vegapunk has shrunk himself and is inside a submarine inside Luffy?!

I was wondering that too. I think the consequences of Gear 5 are starting to catch up to him.

Also drat Zoro got the drip

There's few characters that are less fun and interesting than Sabo. Part of why people wanted Yamato was that he was a better Ace substitute than Sabo.

Drum Island is I think the first really great One Piece arc. It's filled with lots of great stuff, this panel included.

Sabo's really cool! I like his fun steampunk design, and his involvement with the Revolutionaries. A rich kid telling his family to gently caress off in the hardest possible terms and joining an armed insurrection to dismantle the power structures that gave him privilege because he saw what it did to his friends on the outside is a really compelling character to me!

His amnesia and late introduction were... not Oda's greatest storytelling moments, but his character design is really good!

Yamato and Sabo are both awesome and I have no idea why you'd have to chose between them.

Sabo has a really cool martial arts style which is all I need. I love Oda's bonkers martial arts in this comic. Fishman Karate, Six Powers, T Bone's right angled swordplay. All great.

I feel like I've made this exact post about Sabo before but I stand by it.

Yeah that claw hand fighting style is dope as gently caress. Also like that his weapon of choice is just a pipe.

If Sabo had just not eaten Ace's fruit, he'd be way more acceptable as a presence and it wouldn't feel like he's a way to keep Ace in the story despite Marineford revolving around his execution and eventual death.

Gotta spoiler my post for the sake of the couple newbies still reading through mid-2000s content.

My bonkers theory of the week is that Vivi will end up eating a water Logia. I base this solely on the fact that she has blue hair.

That'd make her reduntant with Jinbe and Shirahoshi.

Shirahoshi doesn't have water powers, she has summoner powers.

Anyways Vivi and Jinbe can team up, she can turn into water and then Jinbe can toss her at enemies with his Fishman Karate and then Vivi can punch enemies using the momentum from Jinbe's throw.

Literally the Fastball Special.

the better bonkers vivi fruit theory is the one that says she gets kuma's fruit eventually, which is based on this

sbs posted:

D: Odacchi! I noticed an amazing thing!!! It is that if you show the Straw Hat Devil Fruit users in numbers, it will be the numbers from 1~10!!

Luffy→Gomu Gomu (5.6.5.6.), Chopper→Hito Hito (1.10.1.10), Robin→Hana Hana (8.7.8.7.), Brook→Yomi Yomi (4.3.4.3.)

(1.3.4.5.6.7.8.10), but there is no (2.9), so is the one who ate the Nikyu Nikyu (2.9.2.9.) no Mi, Bartholomew Kuma, gonna be a Straw Hat next? Please tell me!!! P.N. SHANKUS.LOVE

O: WHAAAAAT?! (shock) Gosh that surprised me! Why was I surprised?! NO COMMENTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! NEXT!!

+ people thinking it's probably cooler if vivi gets it around the time she rejoins the crew rather than one of the other fruitless straw hats getting it

but at this stage kuma being restored somehow during this arc and then outright joining the straw hats himself seems more likely than some weird contrived thing with vivi or anyone else getting the fruit idk
