I'd put my money on it being atlas because they're the only vegapunk not freaking out right now and the only thing they've said in the chapter is that any of their parts can be replaced so they might be acting remotely and it would fit with the targetting CP0 That or the gorosei are the only ones who can send orders remotely and Saturn's on his way personally because ????

I might have missed it, but I don't think you've taken the deactivation of the frontier dome into account - that was the first obvious sign of there being a saboteur/traitor in the labophase. We see reaction shots of Shaka, Lilith and York while it's happening, none of them are near a computer terminal so between that and the events of this chapter I'm 99.9% sure all three of them are safe. Atlas is huge, so I don't think she could have gotten in & out of the control room to deactivate the dome without being picked up on the monitors. Edison might have been able to, but you know what sticks out on a reread? Pythagoras is the one checking the monitors, and he also reactivates the frontier dome from that very same terminal (or at least from the same room). If he can reactivate it, he could also be the one who deactivated it... it's just none of the Vegapunks had reason to suspect one of their own at the time. I reckon he took advantage of the destruction and blind spots in the surveillance to incapacitate the Stella outside the Kuma room, then he found the Seraphim and gave them orders. He had S-Snake attack him with a blast he'd survive, to deflect suspicion and lay a trap for whoever came looking for him. But S-Snake didn't blast York, she just petrified her. I think he's only actively targeting a couple of the other VPs (likely Lilith and Shaka) and CP0. Presumably the Strawhats are to be taken out if they get in the way. He probably wants to seize control of the cluster, and may have even been the one who tipped off the WG about Vegapunk's defection in the first place (though if so, that backfired on him). Edit: tl;dr, traitorpunk is most likely Pythagoras. jassa fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Feb 17, 2023 |

I don't know if TCB had to obtain them from a different source or if they hired a new cleaner/redrawer or something, but the image quality of this latest chapter wasn't great. A lot of the finer details are muddied/pretty incomprehensible, but I managed to find some clearer ones out there and, well, take this panel for example; you'd be surprised at the tiny things you might miss on a first read through:

Lucci psyching himself up for the rematch of the century, eating poo poo hard for his arrogance, and then being forced into an alliance of convenience with somebody he absolutely loathes. I hope they spend this whole team-up at odds with each-other, if Lucci's gonna become an ally then make him squirm through every step of it!

I thought the idea of the CP9 cover story was that the former CP9 members (Lucci maybe somewhat less than the others) chilled out somewhat after being scapegoated by Spandam’s faction of the WG. Them being back in the WG’s good graces again, and even Lucci eagerly serving the World Nobles directly (despite resenting taking orders from an incompetent like Spandam), never made much sense to me; it feels like American superhero comic writing where character development (especially on the part of villains) and other changes in circumstances get undone without much explanation.

jassa posted:Edit: tl;dr, traitorpunk is most likely Pythagoras. I think Pythagoras is definitely a top suspect, but I wouldn't rule out Edison. As you mentioned he's unaccounted for when the frontier dome went down, and he's actually the one who gave the Seraphim their orders to stay outside- a fact York even called out. I don't think we would have known it wasn't Lilith who gave the orders if it hadn't been pointed out, so that's an interesting detail to include. Also Edison was very quick to go out and order the Seraphim to stop when they first showed up. I think what's interesting in either case is what the motivation for all this might be. What exactly they're doing might give us a hint. You suggest they're targeting CP0, Lilith and Shaka, but actually they don't target Shaka. He just runs up next to Zoro and Luffy who are physically standing in front of Lucci and Kaku. He might just be collateral damage. But that said, they are clearly targeting Lilith. It's possible that this is the real purpose of all this- to purge Vegapunk of their evil influences before they're let lose on the world. CP0 could be considered "evil" that needs to be purged as well. Actually, that kind of makes me suspect Shaka a bit, but he gave them a direct order to stop. Maybe it's 'wise' to get rid of all the evil baggage suggesting Pythagoras, or maybe he's 'thinking' of the negative consequences, suggesting Edison. With all that in mind, if you're calling out Pythagoras, I'm changing my serious guess to Edison. In any case I think we can suppose one thing for sure about next chapter: S-Shark will show up to attack Stussy, leading to a sweet Jimbei vs Jimbei battle. As a side note on a careful reread, Ussop just completely face planting while Franky and Lilith gracefully use their boots to land was some quality slapstick.

Yeah, ever since CP9 came back as CP0 I've thought it was really weird that their cover arc didn't really explain at all how they got from there they left the series to where they came back. Like, the last time we see the CP9 crew they were basically declaring war on the Marines and the government while Spandam was plotting his revenge against them but then the timeskip happens and they're all working together again so like, what the hell happened?

I feel like the reason we haven't seen the rest of CP9 since the cover arc is that they're hostages to secure his cooperation and I hope its the case because it'd bring all the loyalty swaps to pirates of the caribbean 3 levels
