With everything going on, one thing I can’t wrap my head around is what could possibly happen to Vegapunk’s brain. It won’t fit on the Sunny, will it? Maybe it will go inside the giant robot.

Blackbeard getting progressively hosed up as the series went along would have been neat.

Blackbeard being pirate Starr from preacher would be something.

The giant's ship is pretty big, but I don't know how everyone escapes right now, much less pulls off a brain heist. I feel like Vegapunk may be done before the Egghead arc is over.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
At this point I'm not certain Vegapunk even planned to make it out of Egghead alive, considering he straight up told Dragon through one of his satellites that he was gonna die soon and even if the Government hadn't shown up there must be a limit on how far away he can get from his brain before the apple antenna thingie gives out. I can only guess his whole "Take me with you!" request was a way to get the Straw Hats and the Satellites to leave before poo poo hit the fan but one of the Satellites turning on them screwed that whole plan up.

Kinda have to second this because his entire brain is stuck on the island. Dude's landlocked for life ain't no way he's going anywhere.

Vegapunk feels super dead, if it wasn't One Piece I would say 100% going to die for sure. He's delivering his piece of knowledge for the plot, and later explanations can always be pre-recorded if needed.

I literally forgot there were giants with ships available. So there’s a route to the brain finding it’s way onto a ship and onwards to Elbaf.

Losing it would really be a shame, it would be like losing Wikipedia irl.

We saw his brain in a jar last week and like 70% of his consciousness is still running around the island

I think Stella was Vegapunk's original consciousness and that consciousness is dead. He programmed his message to go off when he died and stella died so it seems like the straightforward interpretation (Shaka and pythagoras died and nothing happened, and > half of punks are still alive).

I mean he feels like he will be super dead by the time the arc ends, not at the current time.

If it were earlier in the story I'd say he almost has to die to keep any tension or mystery in the plot. Honestly that probably is still true but we will see. Robin kinda cleverly skirts the same problem by respecting Luffy's wishes to not ruin the adventure.

I absolutely have a headcanon that Robin's had a lock on Laugh Tale's location for a good while but doesn't want to ruin Luffy's fun lol

I feel like Lilith is going to end up as the only Vegapunk to survive because a) Oda will never turn down the chance to draw a hot woman and b) Having the "evil" Vegapunk be the only one left is a parallel to the good one dying first and the way that the pirates are the ones on the sides of real justice vs the marines.

i was thinking that this is probably a big reason why yamato couldnt, narratively, travel with the straw hats. dude has oden’s journal, knows luffy’s dream (& that roger had the same dream), and probably knows an awful lot about the void century/laugh tale. i imagine oda planning to include yamato and then going “oh wait poo poo if yamato is on the crew when <event> happens he would just tell everyone <detail>”

I think York, Atlas, and Lilith will all survive. Atlas and Lilith both got a lot of screentime early on introducing the satellites. It seems like they were set up more for the audience to imprint on.

York will be a WG minion, and probably not live the comfy life she wanted, but still produce Mother Flame for the World Government to keep that tension up.

Earlier I thought that maybe Atlas would stick with the Strawhats and Lilith would meet up with Blackbeard's crew and give Blackbeard his own "evil" scientist, but I don't know if Van Auger and Catarina are even still on the island.

Pretty sure Stella and the rest of the satellites are dead. Edison is technically still alive, but he keeps throwing up death flags and getting badly injured so I figure it's only a matter of time.

agreed which is why i think yamato will join the crew after they reach laugh tale and obtain the one piece, and i suspect this was the intent to begin with as an inversion of oden’s journey (fight kaido -> protect wano -> become pirate VS become pirate -> protect wano -> fight kaido)

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.
