I wonder if they could get all the civilians up to the Labophase and like... detach the sky island from the land below somehow just float away. Possibly using Franky's cola propulsion system.

I feel that Saturn does have ridiculous regeneration, but at the same time like, being hit is clearly doing him some damage and if the whole crew was beating on him without marines/Kizaru intercepting them, then he would go down fairly hard. Also if his power's like the paralysis are based off people feeling he is unstoppable... then him getting clocked and visibly shook from it breaks that aura.

Kizaru clearly kicked Franky towards ancient robo and my dreams of a gattai are one step closer Franky better get some sick upgrades from this island. we haven't really seen all of General Franky's abilities

Before the buster call was done, Saturn did say one of his top objectives was to keep his brain intact. But presumably that was because Gluttony was going to be kept with them and could still use it. W/o them, who knows!

What's going on with Kizaru is actually very simple. He's just multitasking being lazy by half-assing his change of heart and his duties as an Admiral. Edit: Wait, no, I was thinking of the wrong guy.

Eiba posted:It's his literal brain, as far as we know. He ate the Nomi Nomi no Mi allowing his brain to physically expand infinitely as he gains more knowledge. That's why he has such a gross giant head in all the flashbacks, and a cute/disturbing apple thing currently. He would not be able to move himself if he still had his current brain attached to his body. I'm assuming he still has some part of his brain in his head that'd allow him to leave if the worst were to happen, he'd just lose access to all of his accumulated stuff in Punk Brain is the main problem but as long as it isn't outright destroyed he could return one day.

Super Rad posted:I think the buster call really changed the trajectory of this arc. So far the goal has been to grab Vegapunk and all the homies and get to the Sunny and make a clean getaway but IMO the buster call takes that option off the table. We've been shown time and again that this is an island full of people and I just don't see the strawhats escaping while the island is obliterated, least of all Robin. They're going to, at the very least, stop the buster call - considering that some of Blackbeard's crew is around the rest is up in the air as to whether Luffy convincingly defeats Kizaru + Saturn or if they get interrupted. The Strawhat crew not only surviving a Buster Call(again) but actually beating it back and securing the island as well as a Gorosei being taken down would be quite the incident that would shake the world like the prelude to the battle said it would.

the wg wants all of vegapunk's research and knowledge. they don't actually need it. saturn has just made the call that it is more trouble than it is worth.

All the science/gadget-powered Straw Hats except Nami are all way overdue an upgrade, right? Have Franky, Usopp, or Chopper had anything since the timeskip? I guess Usopp had those 10 seconds of Observation Haki during Dressrosa

Franky is absolutely about to do something huge. Like, "defeat an admiral" huge. That Kizaru kick/trashtalk meant something.

I guess Usopp had those 10 seconds of Observation Haki during Dressrosa Chopper had gotten his super monster point form revealed in Wano (that's why he turned into a baby for a bit) and Franky's been pulling new stuff out with his robot mechas here and there. Usopp has unfortunately been mostly ignored since the end of Dressrosa, which has been a travesty.l, though assuming we go to Elbaf next, he will get a lot of character progression there (and maybe some upgrades)

Chopper going into monster point and reindeer-slapping Queen for calling him a tanuki while the audience looked horrified was one of the high points of the raid for me.

so all the humans were frozen by Saturn, but not the one “machine”? Does this mean that turning the new pacifistas (forgot the child soldiers names) is the key to taking down the old men?

Cirvot posted:Wait, wasn't there like a bug attracting light saber in the early parts of this arc? I know spiders aren't bugs but there's no way it doesn't come back to haunt Saturn right? Egghead would end perfectly with Usopp asking Saturn if he is forgetting something, then turning to shoot the bug light saber into the middle of the island right as the buster call is about to reign down.

Good chapter, good punch. I'm glad Saturn wasn't completely defeated in one blow, that would've been pretty boring.Ubiquitus posted:so all the humans were frozen by Saturn, but not the one “machine”? Does this mean that turning the new pacifistas (forgot the child soldiers names) is the key to taking down the old men? What on earth are you talking about, the Straw Hats were frozen, not anyone else in the room. There were a ton of marines around who were not frozen. Kuma wasn't frozen because he just arrived and surprised Saturn. Also, Kuma isn't a robot, he's a cyborg.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the Strawhats were strong enough at this point to actually stop a Buster Call before it can do much damage. If not, I assume now it’s time to escape and head for Elbaf. Curious how they’re going to inevitably get around Saturn’s regeneration ability

If not, I assume now it’s time to escape and head for Elbaf. Luffy and Lucci took out two of the ten battleships just as collateral damage while they were fighting. Although iirc theres a HUNDRED battleships around Egghead now, so its not really comparable to Eneis Lobby e: This also means theres 100000 Marines present which is an equivalent number to Marineford, lol. Saturn demands a large escort.

From Reddit: The usual Buster Call is 10 ships plus 5 Vice Admirals. Egghead is surrounded by 100 ships, 9 Vice Admirals, an Admiral, plus a Gorosei.

And then Luffy pulls out the Afro he had from Long Ring, Long Land, looks at Brook and says, let’s ride. No one can stand up to 2 Afros.

theyre gonna defeat saturn by believing they can beat saturn. i bet all of his abilities are tied directly into the believe of him being an unstoppable force. its no different than someones powers not working on you because of haki, you need to make his own powers not work on him because of haki.

Scholtz posted:From Reddit: How many ships do the marines even have? Assuming the Straw Hats have to destroy the ships to stop the Buster Call and can't talk Saturn down or cut a deal, that seems like it would be a massive blow to the marines as an org. Even more so if Garp ends up out of commission. Oh poo poo are we setting up to do a God Valley with the new generation but on Elbaf?
