This is all leading up to the final Void Arc, Oda’s plan for getting this all wrapped up in the next few years by shooting anyone who asks what happens.

death is certain
keep yr cool
so the sea level of one piece has definitely risen at least once before. given that there's a hole and the sea level rose, that probably means the blast created a MASSIVE underground crater.

so wano built walls around it to protect it from flooding
zou is on zuenisha because it cant be flooded
alabasta is elevated in the middle of the desert
fishman island is already underwater, and has an arc to escape destruction

all of the ancient allies of joyboy were prepared for a historic flood, probably because of the red lines foreshadowed destruction (along with fishman island), likely with the mother frame itself.

in addition, old wano is underwater. im guessing this is oda foreshadowing that the ancient kingdom is on the sea floor. enies lobby was probably the last place the mother frame was used. since additional sea level rise would then fill old craters up with sea water if their peak touched the surface of the sea.

Water 7 is near one of the other sea holes (Enies Lobby) and already has to deal with insane tsunamis and tide changes all the time

If you think about it, the smashcut to York's defeat follows the pattern already established in this arc. gently caress around with a Yonko crew and you will quickly find out.

Ok, something’s up with Saturn saying to spare Bonney for being “a little girl” just a page after drawing the Ohara parallel by ordering the refugee ship sunk. Deep cover agent?

Need her alive (remember Akainu also came to get her before the timeskip) but maybe can't broadcast that fact to the security detail and lower officers

Or she gets special consideration for some reason. Maybe she's related to someone (else) important, like another gorosei.

What a final splash. Excellent dramatic use of a two page spread to sell the twist, since you'd have to physically turn the page to see the reveal. This has big "now let's see how we got here" vibe for the upcoming chapters.

Oh and yeah, lots of cool lore stuff too I GUESS.

Oh that's good OP. I'm betting York hosed up/got tricked somehow and accidently deactivated the Seraphim.

Kinda weird to care about sparing a kid considering the chapter starts with the fallout from nuking an entire nation, and literally the panel before he ordered the execution of all the evacuated employees.

imo it's probably related to why Akainu came to pick her up prior to the timeskip, and why Blackbeard thought he'd be able to trade her for a warship

Yeah I feel like there's some significance to Bonney that Saturn isn't prepared to discuss with some random vice admiral.

e: maybe Kuma's programming is setup to break if the World Government harms his daughter?

until Oda shows otherwise I have to assume Usopp awakened Conquerer's Haki, broke out of his stone status effect, singlehandedly defeated s-snake, deduced York as the traitor, and either went to face her himself or orchestrated the crew to turn their attention to her

considering the Navy put a dead or alive bounty on Robin when she was an 8 year old kid, something is up with Bonney

Seriously, do drugs
Bonney is royalty, right? She's Kuma's daughter, and Kuma is the former king of *checks one piece wiki* Sorbet kingdom. She probably ranks somewhere around the celestial dragons in world government pecking order? They can't just order her to be killed offhand.

i also assume her devil fruit is known to be wildly powerful and they'd rather know where it is than let it turn into a fruit ghost and fly away to an unknown location. though i guess that doesn't answer the question of why let her go and not say, capture her.

That Enies Lobby was ground zero for a past Uranus nuke attack is a ballin' world building plot dump, Oda's setup game is on point :aaaaa:

EDIT: Although how does erasing island matter cause the entire global coastline to rise a whole meter, shouldn't a colossal, permanently draining sea hole cause the water levels to drop? :confused:

actually kind of nuts the strawhats are listening to the gorosei.

since i think all four present spoke, i wonder if they can deduct that the 5th one is missing (i assume a couple of characters like bonney and robin know of their existence). saturn doesnt want to be known for some reason...
