They probably harassed him a long time ago, he beat em up so he could have peace and quiet. Eventually he tried to join them to stop the harassment. Then things fell apart, and how he's being harassed again.

There's a better than 0% chance this is what happened.
I buy it, and it also aligns, since Mihawk's entire life through the span of the story is being bored and getting annoyed by people

I definitely took it as Kuma being 'programmed' to serve whoever he's around. He was handed off between World Nobles, after all.

We know for a fact they're going through Arlong Park, and I personally hope they do get to Loguetown. Buggy returning and the prophetic narration of that part are really when the scope and ambition of the story start to sink in.

Viz translation actually calls them the Navy. But the title of the OP Wiki page is Marines, and most fans talk about them that way. It's a bit of a mess.

my proposal: i would have not sent sanji to an island of ugly trans people who want to molest him, and i would have given him ace's devil fruit in dressrosa instead of randomly making him able to make his legs on fire in enies lobby

does this mean sabo isn’t in the story, because if so link me your fanfic

Since when do we know this? Back when the Pacifistas first appeared on Sabaody it was pretty thoroughly established that they were identical to Kuma aside from his devil fruit power and the personality he still had back then. Since then we've learned that cloning technology exists and is connected to Vegapunk's research, I'd say it's almost certain that the old Pacifistas are straight up clones of Kuma.
In the fight on Saobody when they got damaged it was clear they were made of metal.

Man I like, appreciate the details and all, but at this point the little scene with Yamato didn't give us any more information we didn't already assume and it only really twisted the knife more :sigh:

Rest of the chapter was good.

Really? I thought his originally given explanation for why he changed his mind kinda sucked, so I appreciated knowing it was a lie told to protect Momo’s honor, and he was actually just motivated to protect Wano.

That was the most buck wild chapter of One Piece in ages. God, I'm so hyped for the final saga.

There's a lot to discuss but I wanted to shout out the smaller moment of Zoro's advice about Sabo. They all gave him poo poo for it but I love when Zoro asserts his unnoficial-first-mate guidance like that and keeps Luffy grounded.

Vegapunk's a Nami?!

I worry that if this is a clone or mech we're in for the original one being another pervy character.
Anyway, I'm guessing this will be a Zou-style "mind blowing avalanche of exposition" island that's more of breather going into the final saga. The crew doesn't even know what to do right now, since they have no leads on the last poneglyph.

What the hell did Vegapunk do to convince the WG to kill him?! He’s behind so much of their military power at this point. Seems suicidal to end that partnership

That said, I don’t feel exactly threatened by these three versus every SH and a bunch of sea kings…

Film Red was kind of a hot mess but at least the music slapped. Did anyone watch the dub? I was wondering how well the music was handled. There were a lot of little teases, such as what is (presumably) Shanks' surname, CP0 being aware of and weirdly chill with SWORD (I thought it was like a secret rebel cell of Marines?) and Luffy outright saying that he wants to be the Pirate King to start a "new age" (I don't think he's ever said anything vaguely like that before aside from "I want people to be able to eat"??)
