Yeah effectively it's one of those weird things where what is technically happening is a break this week (for 12/31) then a chapter (1/7) then another break (1/14) then a chapter (1/21) but what happens for the double issue is that it usually leaks super early so we get spoilers as if the chapter was going to be released this week then an extended break where we catch back up to the actual schedule.

It makes more sense when you consider the context of Kuma jokingly talking about how much of a nuisance he's been to the people in his life, Vegapunk is saying that the only thing Kuma has done to hurt the people in his life is leave them, no matter how justified it was

Saturn is such a piece of poo poo. Can't wait to see him eat some armament flavored payback from Kuma.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Hell yeah.

Also it seems like Saturn has some sort of aura similar to conqueror’s haki but with the additional ability to seal devil fruit abilities. Maybe this is an advanced conqueror’s haki technique but I’m going to guess it has something with the fact that Saturn has this demonic or devil-like form so maybe he can dominate other devils. However my personal speculation is that this demonic thing will be somehow related to why the darkness fruit can seal Devil fruit powers. Demons and devils come out of the darkness or something.

u guys are all nuts. luffy/strawhats were taken seriously after they beat crocodile (once the word spread and he had the 100m bounty). thats a RAPID rise in notoriety and it's only surpassed by the absurdity of their next big event in attacking the supreme court and declaring explicit war on the world government, but they definitely take him way more seriously after croc imo

yeah it kinda seems like it just took a while to manifest. Maybe it specifically showed up when it did because she started training to set out to sea, kinda like how Luffy’s haki started subconsciously manifesting after he pushed himself to his limit yet again after Thriller Bark.

Also yeah kick his loving rear end Kuma, shove your paw right into his stupid loving face after healing yourself.

Also Bonney probably was infused with Luffy's Devil Fruit from the sounds of it. "It hasn't connected yet"

nah I think it’s just the rear end translation, I think Saturn’s just commenting on how Bonney’s image of Nika is still Kuma-esque instead of SSJ Blanco Bonney like it “should” be after seeing Gear Fifth.

Also kinda interesting that Saturn apparently even considers Celestial Dragons to be insects, or at least partial ones.

"He's so awesome!"
He really is!
So, lots of folks have been speculating about Kuma likely having this experimental personality switch in him. But this chapter (1102) also revealed Kuma has super-hearing.

I bet Shaka suspected Kuma was within nearby when he called Dragon back in ch 1064, and the phone call was actually a way for Vegapunk to brief Kuma on Bonney & Luffy being at Egghead (and the dangers converging on them). He could also have given Kuma's 'repair team' some advice which tricked them into flipping the personality switch a couple of chapters later.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
It's insane that Saturn is presumably just the beginning of the backstory for the Gorosei. This is the first peek we've gotten at what they get up to behind the scenes, and we still have four more of them left the cover.

I'm curious, do they go back and redraw chapters for the volumes, or touch up otherwise really rough panels? because as much as I've liked egghead, there have been some INSANELY rough panels the likes OP has never had before. this chapter wasn't too bad for it but there were definitely some sketchy parts that don't look finished.

I'm curious if the story will expand on why Saturn was experimented on Bonney's mom who sounded like a high ranking elite at the time and not someone of a lower class. It might be as simple as he sees all humans as equally worthless but it feels like there's more to it than that.

Oda’s redrawn stuff in the past, like how Arlong’s sister wasn’t the right age in a flashback to be below 30 and finless, but the rawness has made these chapters largely better so I hope he doesn’t.

if I had to guess “Balcanian” is a mangled version of Buccaneer. This translation is kinda just rear end though so probably wait for the usual guys.

Stocks rising that Kizaru will turncoat given what he's witnessing Saturn do and brag about, and the reminder panels that he's still there.

One thing to begrudgingly accept an assassination mission of old friends, another to hear your boss gloat about how they've been responsible for all the pain and suffering of said friends.

Yeah, that was wild. Obviously the translation is rough but he called her the 8th lady of the holy land. What the gently caress does that mean. Did she "marry" one of the Gorosei?

But I thought they made a big deal of covering it up so Smoker was forced to take credit for Crocodile going down? Anyway, I think it was after Enies Lobby that the Strawhats became a major threat to the World Government and post-Marineford was when the Strawhats became a household name for regular people/non-Yonkou pirates.

Concerning the newest chapter:

Translation is rear end, but the charm thing Kuma gifted to Bonney has the same circular sun design as in the church he stayed in as a young man. Interesting... I feel like that symbol specifically will come up later when we finally learn about the Void Century.

Also I don't quite understand what Saturn was going on about with regards to a Devil Fruit infusion or whatever. Didn't they say Bonney ate a strange fruit at the church and that's what gave her the ageing powers like how she imitated the looks of Dowager Queen Connie? I guess it'll read more clearly once the TCB scan comes out.

Seconding Kizaru being the guy who fed Luffy and will probably turn on Saturn. Also seconding gently caress HIM UP KUMA!

Looking it up they did not, everyone at the church was just as confused as us and just only assumed she ate a devil fruit cause what other explanation could there be?
