I think he jumped to the conclusion and will now work backwards to show why his prediction is logical/legitimate to the world.

Are Fishmen humans that adapted to the ever rising sea? Is this Waterworld? Probably not, but they sure will benefit. Lots of free underwater cities coming their way.

lmaoing @ the idea of the fishmen all leaving fishman island and finally rejoining the surface, only for everything to sink back under the ocean and having to reclaim fishman island like a decade later anyways

It's a solid enough reveal and all but from some of the reactions I wonder if i've just missed something about how this ties things together.

until recently theres never been any direct mention of sea level rise, and that mention was only after an entire island was disappeared so everyone assumed it was some amount of mass redistributing. the reason why the sea would be rising, by how much, whether it could be prevented, or how to mitigate its effects are now the burning questions. its likely related to the fact that there are far fewer moons in the sky than there once were, which i imagine are also part of why phenomenon like the grand line and calm belt exist around the equator

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
It's another of those "Everything falls into place" for example Hey so why do the Celestial Dragons all wear loving bubble helmets? Why does the sea reject Devil Fruits? Hey so how did the 20 countries join with Imu in the first place? Was it joining with Imu? or was it "We'll bend the knee please don't loving kill us"? Why does Impel Down have boarded up windows in the water? How did those walls erected in Wano get there?

Yeah this, i initially felt very whelmed by the reveal but it’s one of those things that make you think “wait, if we JUST had the world’s water level noticeably rise because a country was obliterated…did something like that happen to start the flooding to begin with?” and a lot of other questions like Onmi noted.

The fact that it fits everything we've seen isn't what's earth-shattering. The fact that Vegapunk just announced that the world is ending is the earth-shattering part. It is a sudden, shocking announcement that the entire world is in danger. We had no idea that there even was a global crisis until this announcement. That is the :bignews:

But what's really getting everyone is that this unexpected out-of-left-field announcement actually fits with so many odd things about the manga. It is both completely unexpected and world changing, and incredibly well foreshadowed. It's a sudden unpredictable shift that actually explains a whole lot about the world. That's an impressive feat.

Im in the same boat as you... this was kind of expected with the CDs living on top of the world and knowing theres at least one way to raise the sea level already. Its nice confirmation but im not exactly pogging, thatll be next chapter when we start getting the hows.

I remember noticing that and thinking it made little sense but weote it off as just a quirk of Oda doing whatever he thinks is cool, like how villains have basically random sizes depending on the moment. Basically wrote off all of Impel Downs design as ’makes no sense at all but looks cool I guess’. Never been happier to be wrong.

another neat thing is that OldShandora is underneath NewShandora's society. it's something that threw me when reading Skypeia because of all the insane movement of that land, but the Shandora that's populated in the story lives on top of the one that defended the poneglyph

I always figured the sea level rising was connected to pluton, given that pluton is somewhere in the underwater portion of wano and wano seems to be generating infinite amounts of water from its waterfalls.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

That got an actual laugh out of me. It checks out. That was a pretty random career to take otherwise.

It has boarded up windows. Why would you make your underwater prison with window holes and then board them up? For that matter why does it have crenellations and poo poo? Most of the architecture doesn't make sense for an underwater structure. It can be written off as just for the sake of looking cool, but now we can guess that it's a very old building and wasn't always underwater.

there is certainly going to be some reveal that contextualizes the weird names of some of these structures like Impel Down or Enies Lobby

That's fine. I guess you're just losers then.

Someone just took a tower and put it in the sea. No big deal. If they didn’t board up the windows, it would have flooded. Luffy kicked a giant tower at the worm elder just now. Same thing.
