I’ve been waiting for Enel’s return since Skypiea ended. However, as time goes on, it’s getting tougher and tougher for me to see how he would come back in a relevant capacity, story wise and power wise. My guy Enel would get wasted by just about any of the Yonko/Admiral level characters, which is basically the minimum requirement considering we’re almost at the end.
@Khann_2102 she got her shit partially wrecked by lolicock (yes that's objectively awful and I'm keeping it) and Blackbeard, she's mostly fine, she's training with Rayleigh for her haki
Bartolomeo got one of the most busted DF's in the entire story, completely unbreakable barriers. so tough that even Oden with a serious 2-sword style attacks and Haki at his prime(after years of traveling with WB and Roger) could not put a scratch on that barrier. so now imagine an awakening of such a DF. turning the surroundins into unbreakable barriers and maybe manifesting multuple barriers all around rather than one limited barrier.
I feel like bartolomeo would literally start worshipping Luffy like a God instead of just being a big fan. oh yeah, doesn't "Bartholomew" Kuma worship Nika?
unfortunately, there just so happens to be a perfect counter to barto's devil on egghead. his barriers are transparent, and let light through, so kizaru would be unaffected
I think the trend of lesser chapters with lesser pages is reasoned in several things. 1. Oda is directly and intensively working with netflix for the OP live action series, as well as the new anime adaptation thats coming soon. As far as i know he has to approve and sign basically everything OP live action does and hes probably as deeply involved with studio Wit, Toei and Netflix regarding the new anime adaptation 2. Odas eye condition (which shouldnt affect him that much, especially after the surgery he went under last year, but who knows) 3. Since were getting closer and closer to the Final Saga and the ending of the story, Oda may be unsure on some ideas and stuff, which holds him back from telling too much in a chapter from time to time
I don't get why they are not comparable? I am a Fan of OP but i can still criticize the lack of Manga content and the recent horrible pacing. I saw someone say that the chcapters are shorter cause of Oda's influence with the Netflix OP. If it is true then that is so sad cause the manga is my fav medium and its getting lackluster effort. If you doubt my critique re read the last 8 chapters of One Piece back to back and tell me that its good or ok pacing.@@onlys9068
Twitter made me feel crazy for thinking it was the Grand Fleet, so I went crazy and tracked the timelines all off relevant events from 1060 - 1105. I learned that the Reverie a month or so ago (1083), the destruction of Luluscia happened in the last week (1089), & that Kizaru x Saturn were headed to Egghead before they learned about the Strawhats (1079), likely because they had the void century on the brain after Luluscia and York kept poking the bear (1062, 1068, 1089). Like Bonnie and Sabo, at least 2 Grand Fleet Captains were at the Reverie and escaped (1085). Also of note, G14 seems to be a little more than a day's sail away (1089, 1068) yet Kizaru and Saturn arrived, presumably, a day after CPO and [2 days after issuing the assassination order, 1day after learning about Luffy]. Fun Facts: if the Strawhats have been on Egghead for 2 days then Morgan's newscoo's are more beast than I thought. There's already been two news releases to the world; one that luffy captured Vegapunk + Garp getting captured, and one that the Gov. planned on a seige (1089 & 1103). My Takeaway: Oda plays weird with time and the serialized releases do nothing to help my perception of it. Some moments, like Saturn on Egghead and Bonnie attacking him and Kuma showing up, takes a matter of minutes but appears across at least 3 chapters, where as some things seem to be concurrent but are actually mild flashbacks (like sabo making it to Rev. Army) Anyways, now I'm crazy and I can't put the genie back in the bottle
LOL when fans take the manga more serious than the mangaka LOL. Trust me Oda doesn't plan travel time in One Piece. If you analyzed the manga with logical time expectation not much would line up. People up to today still say Akainu got Destroyed by white beard, not realizing the entire War lasted less than 24 hrs and after Akainu got attacked by the strongest enraged White beard, he literally just got up and attaked the rest of WB pirates.
My wild card guess is that the Giants are coming to help save Egghead Island. They appeared to help Ohara in the past and I think that they caught wind of the massive Marine fleet and chose to intervene. That could give a very interesting segue into getting the Strawhats on a journey to Elbaf with someone of importance like they normally bump into or a Giant that they have met before,.
Yeah I think there’s is maybe 3 realistic options and this is one of them since they are close by and Saul is a friend of Vegapunk. Grand fleet being another last being dragon but highly unlikely.
10:11 i love that jimbei, even though he's probably the most knowledgeable guy on the crew, always is up to do it the "strawhats" way and just enjoys the way they do it even though he probably would do things completely different
It's wholesome watching this, for lack of a better term, old man get used to the next generation's shenanigans and even join in from time to time. I wish he was brought on sooner but we wouldn't have gotten scenes like him leaving big moms crew
One thing to consider with Barto: in the midst of searching for him, Shanks ended up in Elbaf. So is it possible that was Oda's way of telling us, Shanks had intel Barto is/was in the vicinity of Elbaf at some point. If so, Barto could be alot closer than one would think. Which would make the Grand Fleet showing up interesting, because of what it could lead to. Shanks didn't want to meet Luffy, and decided to chase Barto. Just to finally catch up to Barto, when hes with Luffy. In which case, Luffy would need to prove his crew is greater than Shanks' to save Barto. "And at last, the battle between that character and that may have unexpected results" -Oda. What if ........
@@NoName...... You greatly misunderstood how Luffy feels about his friends. What you're suggesting is the equivalent of Luffy turning his bacc on his nakama.
Don't think Shanls was looking for him Shanks said "hey Benn let's go get the One Piece" more likely he went to elbaph to get or find out where the last road poneglyph is
The person that will save Luffy is one that nobody will see coming. Imagine an awakened Foxy coming to the straw hats rescue, now that would something to see.
It's true, we need a new cover story. So I'll list characters thar I think we could get to see in the next cover story: - to close the "post whole cake island arc cover stories cycle" (which includes Capone Bege's cover story and the Germa 66's one) I think that Pekoms is the only remaining character of which we need an update about his current status - Carrots and the other minks returning to Zou - Yamato exploring Wano like Oden did + helping Momonosuke and the others bringing Wano back to its former glory from before Orochi and Kaido's reign - Law and Bepo trying to get their crew back - Marco and the original Stussy - X Drake or/and Apoo - Koza leaving Alabasta and going to look for Vivi with Karoo and Eyelashes (I know, very unlikely) - Perona and Moria
I want it to be everyone. Everyone you think should be there would be there, except maybe the Revs, and they'll all be there for different reasons. What I imagine is kind of like a modern day God Valley incident. Where all the people that would go on to define the new era woould converge and shake the world up. I think that would be kind of like setting up a God valley parallel in advance, and it would be INSANE if thats what actually ends up happening. But knowing Goda, what he has instore is probably even better than this. I can't wait to see what he does.
I had this same thought too. MAD’s miss Bakkon is seeking Vegapunk with Weevil. Weevil/Crocodile and their history with whitebeard is still an unresolved thing. There’s some reason for almost everyone showing up.
I want a reunion too but the Kobys and Garps fight happen at the same time so it is not them. I hope that the Garp rescue from the Marines and the Straw hats will be the next arc though. Or SWORD does it on their own
Idk about you guys but a emotional charged Koby witnessing marine vessels attacking a innocent ship of people seems like a pretty good reason to me. Oda may be alluding the the ‘island Luffy wants to go to’ being Hatchinoso
Thinking about the MADS story being told through Egghead, I think it has to be Marco and Weevil showing up with old Stussy to Egghead. Marco would be able to burn a boat, and break it in half. And if this is the opposite side of the coin to Marineford then Whitebeards kid stopping the Marines would be fitting, and could introduce the chaos Blackbeard needs to appear before the end of the arc.
@@chivochivo1597 and Cross Guild recently said they'd break into Impel Down for Doflamingo, along with Oda playing with that specific breakout you think they'd only broke him out? My theory is still valid, Stussy and Marco are headed there according to the last time we saw them because Marco wants to know if Weevil is really Whitebeards heir. But you can take Weevil out if it troubles you that much, because again Marco was headed to Egghead.
@@Pickn4Gold interesting idea. Oda should bring back Doflamingo if he has Cross Guild with other former Warlords in it and he could fill in some other story parts, like maybe God's Valley is why his father decided to leave the other Celestial Dragons on the Red Line and live like civillians? Not sure if it was actually said they were for sure breaking in there but the implication and foreshadowing necessitates it.
If by some longshot the new arrivals are Germa66/NeoMads, I would love to see Zoro and Reiju's first encounter. It'd be hilarious if she acts all flustered and smitten with Zoro like how Sanji goes gaga over beautiful women
To be fair, the conversation with Sabo ended with them guessing the origin and intent of the weapom that destroyed Lulusia and Vegapunk's involvement. Also there was a call placed to Dragon by Shaka stating he's going to die. So even if not Dragon himself, we now know there are specific revolutionary parties for every region of the world so one of them could be on their way
@@lordfreezer5631 My apologies Lord Freezer, I didn't know you were opposed to the androgynous kingdoms, considering your choice in lip gloss and mascara 😂😂😂
To be more fair, every revolutionary army commander and deputy commander is currently on momoiro island, so oda would need to introduce even more new characters into the arc and if its not the revs that we know there really isn’t any point
sanji has always been strategic, and good at planning ahead, little garden, alibasta, especially water 7/ Enies lobby. i truly hope oda doesnt take that from him completely. even though i think this year will be the year of the nose.
10:13 - That's one thing I like about Jimbei on the crew. He sees him himself as and acts like he's the newbie despite being the most experienced pirate overall. 12:19 - Am I the only one imagining "Gear Fifth Tankman" as Luffy turning into a literal tank?
@@victorperezurbano9504 I honestly hadn't thought about Brook in that sense, given his 50-year hiatus, but you're right. Jimbei's 2nd most experienced pirate, overall.
In what group combination is Chopper the authority? NOT counting during medical emergencies, just in general the crew has split up and are about to fight some Yonko commanders or something, what group has Chopper leading them? In practice I think we only saw this dynamic with Cho-bro (Choniki) and Carrot, but I suppose that's fair. Actually, mentioning how Jinbe is everyone's junior on the crew actually DOES imply the possibility that if it were just him and Chopper, he might actually have to defer to Chopper's knowledge of the rest of the crew's dynamic. Like how Nami sends him to make sure Zoro doesn't get lost, Chopper could have easily made that call, or something similar like Chopper might ask Jinbe to backup Sanji not because Sanji is weak but because his keen animal nose smells specifically a female scented perfume coming from Sanji's direction and knowing Sanji could not fight a woman.
I totally think its the giants from Luffy's Grand Fleet that are coming because he kept showing up in all the Elbaf flashbacks and the captain was there when Prince Loki was born
The cross guild has great reasons to go to egghead! 1. Three words MS ALL SUNDAY, MI need to steal 3 road ponegliffs when you have one person who already knows 3 abs can read the 4th 2. Crocodile from the beginning seems to have knowledge of things we have no idea of how he got said knowledge. So making a play for vegapunk (or his technology) could be a great move 3. There's a Elder in the island and taking advantage of taking him down could further the cross guild agenda in an instant.
The Viz translation actually worsened the Zoro v Lucci situation for the former after TCB. TCB - We need Jimbei to find Zoro and bring him with us Viz - Zoro and Lucci are still going at it, we need to go, we need to send the strongest fighter among our group to help Zoro get out of there
I didn't even think of Neo MADS but it makes a ton of sense, lots of valuable research and tech, Caesar's fruit could explain how Luffy got fed, and yes they might not want to "recruit" Vegapunk but maybe "retrieve" him
When the Punks were showing the Straw Hats around Egghead orignally, didn't they mention that Egghead could protect itself from a Buster Call unlike Ohara? They revealed some tech then we should talk about more because it was giving us foreshadowing of what is going to happen the rest of the arc.
Official translations are out and the last panel says, ''We failed to destroy the ship..... They went to egghead". 2 things, 1st I thought that they were talking about the escaping vessel, they wanted to help Vegapunk so they defended themselves and went back to egghead. 2nd It can be black beard pirates who destroyed the ship and are now at egghead because the Marines said, "they went" not "they just left". Maybe they were unconscious and when they woke up they were like, "Oh! They went to egghead, I didn't even notice. I should tell Kizaru"
im still gonna lean heavily on the grand fleet. idk i just really wanna see a gigantic pirate ship battle against the marines and take down that buster call. we might get our first one piece pirate ship battle
Fewer pagers butt something i noticed is that in 1105 the art was a lot cleaner/hq than some of the previous. that "double" spread mentioned at the end with Nami looked really good.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this will happen, I mean, the grand fleet had to have noticed Luffy's Vivra card playing with matches and decided to meet up and head toward Luffy, and depending on where they are they probably couldn't make it in time for Wano and are still going to go to Luffy to see how he is and if they've heard anything at all about Egghead, they can assume he will be there when they arrive. They may not expect the biggest battle in history but they could totally be coming. Love to see what Oda has in store for us.
The fact that oda has so many cliff hangers with so many possibilities that fan base argue over blows my mind, I feel like it's what gives the community life.
I doubt it's the grand fleet because I don't think they're officially recognised by the world government and at the end of the chapter that marine said " *they're* heading for egghead" which makes me believe it's a more recognised group like the blackbeard pirates
They are officially recognised. For example Sai and Leo attacked the world nobles and anounced they are luffys subordinates. And when luffy was announced 5th emporer he was called senior captain and his crew the nine commanders with a grand fleet of 5640 pirates.
Blackbeard is unlikely IMO. If Blackbeard wanted something on Egghead he would have got it before the Marines showed up. It only really makes sense if the group coming here wants to help Luffy.
One thing that's really interesting: if we're going with parallels from Ohara, after a successful buster call it was basically erased from history. There was nothing for the world to see, no "incident". But the narrator clearly states that the egghead incident will send ripples around the world, and everyone will know about it. Even if buster call succeeds, knowledge is power, and that's why they're destroying the island. The incident being known around the world can only mean one thing: this ends BADLY for the WG. If it ends badly becaus the world knows about what WG did to the island OR the world finds out because of the incident that went wrong for the WG -- we'll just have to wait and see.
@@ilike2hurtpeople Mingo? cooperate with the Cross Guild??? naaaahhhhhhh, I doubt bro wants to be in the shadows (again depending on how you look at how he ran Dressrosa) I mean he could join but I don't see it
@@saint037 If mingo escaped I don’t see him joining shanks or Blackbeard still holds a grudge agaisnt luffy so I can only see him returning to the story by joining the cross guild
@@saint037 I could also see hawk eye and crocodile agreeing they need to strengthen there ranks and deciding to raid impel down like Blackbeard did and rescuing mingo it wouldn’t be hard for them to just roll in and kick everyone’s asses there
I feel like Sanji doesn't get enough credit. He is not only one of the strongest members of the crew but also one of the smartest. He knows what's happening
Reasons why I think it’s the grand fleet 1. The narrator at the end of Dressrosa said they would participate/cause a great incident/event. I think egghead fits the bill. 2. It’s Luffy’s first battle as an official Yonko and what way to illustrate this then to have his massive fleet show up. It lets the world government know if you mess with Luffy you mess with his fleet as well. It’s not just a rag tag group of 10 pirates anymore. 3. Hajrudin being there makes sense as he and the rest of the fleet can escort the crew to Elbaf. 4. Hajrudin and the New Giant Warrior pirates seemed to be the giants recovering the books from ohara from Saul. So like a connection with Saul and if he is in hiding on Elbaf he can bring Robin and the crew to him. 4. Bartolomeo being there could actually be the catalyst for a battle with shanks. 5. Luffy just being rescued by the fleet and acknowledging them as his subordinates can’t let shanks harm bartolomeo. 6. So Luffy and shanks have to fight because the both have responsibilities as captains, Luffy to protect his subordinate and shanks to protect his territory and reputation so he can continue to protect his fleet and territories. That way it doesn’t have to be a Davy back fight. It doesn’t have to be to the death it could be like the Roger Pirates vs the Whitebeard Pirates and end in a big party. 7. Elbaf may not have an antagonist, unless Loki is evil or a twist and Thor is evil and Luffy has to fight them. I could see shanks being the major battle for Elbaf. 8. After a rest and confrontation with shanks it could be SHGF vs BB fleet. I think Luffy will 100% need the grand fleet to deal with BB fleet while the straw hats get their 1v1. It would also be a nice way to introduce other BB pirate member who are powerful but not titanic captain level.
Dang is if hard for anyone else to believe that the entire grandline review channel with its immense number of videos has only been around for 300 or so chapters??
I adore Oda's artwork, but I'd be fine with another talented manga artist taking over the art so Oda can focus on just writing. As long as it's not Boichi.
Oof that would be super hard from Odas part buddy . This is not dragon ball . One piece is Odas baby . His story , his drawings. No way in hell odas stops drawing it since it’s his imagination drawing every single detail of the story . If he were to stop drawing it that would mean the manga has ended .
13:00 also because the starting of this chapter and the ending of the last one were pretty same ( like a summary-ish thing) so it doesnt seem like a lot of 'new' info was revealed
My comment was finally mentioned in your videos, can’t be more happy right now. Thank you so much Liam and keep the work up, you have a fantastic channel!
What if Mihawk adopts S-hawk and after Zoro beats him, he starts training S-hawk to take down Zoro, so that Zoro can always have a legitimate threat? Cuz he'd have all of the mihawknes in a tight little package that can only get stronger.
No else thinking it’s Saul and his comrades ? Seems like a nice way to tie him back into the Ohara/Buster call parallels. Perhaps a reunion with Robin too.
It's definitely Blackbeard. Lafitte and Devon sailed to Egghead to potentially negotiate Vegapunk joining up with them, but they called in Teach and the others from Winner Island (Thank you, Warp-Warp Fruit!), and they sunk the Marine ship sent to sink the evacuees because it's win-win. Either they get grateful scientists who worked under Vegapunk himself for the crew, or they get hostages to barter with Vegapunk for his cooperation in their technological endeavors (not that Teach has any at the moment, but he wouldn't mind the option being available). But! If Blackbeard really does have designs on Vegapunk, then that means Shanks will be stepping in to stop him, and the whole Egghead operation turns into a three-Emperor catastrophe for the World Government that not even Kizaru and Saint Saturn can get them out of!
I 1000% think Lafitte (probably Devon too, but undoubtedly Lafitte) have been on egghead since that one BB ship showed up. I can even see Lafitte specifically being the dude moving luffy around, if the man snuck past mihawk he can definitely get by the average marine unnoticed. As for why, it might be that he (or the BB pirates in general) know that luffy/the gomu gomu no mi is important for finding the One Piece and need him to stay alive? Same reason why Roger said they got to Laugh Tale too early?
Wait, where is Don Krieg from this list? How could you forget the most powerful entity out there that's been lingering in the shadows for more than 1000+ chapters... I guess my previous comment did not emphasise enough the importance of his character and the likelihood of such encounter...
GASP! What if it's Gin?! He DID say he'd meet the crew again in the Grand Line and has yet to make good on that promise. Man's had two years to get into shape enough!
My issue with the Grand Fleet is that they would’ve been going to Wano instead of Egghead. The only way they show up on time is if they arrived at Wano within the day Luffy left, got the direction Luffy left for, and left within that day. If the Grand Fleet decides since Luffy isn’t currently fighting and stays in Wano, or simply they pulled up more than a day after the Straw Hats left, then they’ll still be sailing. Meanwhile it’s more likely BB for a few reasons. Number 1: besides Shanks he’s the closest. Number 2: a ship of theirs pulled up the day before and the only two Titanic Commanders are Catarina and Laffitte. Now I don’t know about you, but there’s no way they saw the Seraphim’s, the army of pacifista, CP0, as well as the Straw Hats and just said “Nah, I’d win.” Like they definitely called for backup as soon as they realized how out of control Egghead is right now (original plan was just sneak in and out without being detected, but whoever Catarina disguises as would still lead to them getting attacked). 3. BB doesn’t sleep, meaning he can go full throttle throughout the night and when everyone is awake he can use Quakes to fly through the ocean faster. Basically BB might just have the fastest moving ship if he uses his Quakes. He’s just gonna need a little rest before getting into Egghead.
Makes more sense if it's the RA that comes to egghead given the ties between characters, places & past events that we've seen in previous chapters. What if dragon has a busted wind logia devil fruit that allows him to manipulate & travel fast via tornado? Along with a fleet of RA ships that are caught in said tornado there's still a chance for them to appear🤞
As silly as Swamp Nakama is, I genuinely do think it’d be really funny if Caribou became a Straw Hat by accident/because of a misunderstanding. Like the WG saw him leave Wano with Luffy, saw him arrive on Egghead with Luffy, potentially saw him help Luffy if he did indeed deliver that food, and with a Buster Call they’ll almost certainly see him leave with Luffy, so I could see a scenario where he gets a bounty with the WG assuming he’s a Straw Hat, and everyone is flabbergasted by it, none moreso than Caribou himself.
If Luffy died on onigashima then wouldn't that mean the vivre card burned away and I don't think they regenerate after burning once so how would the grand fleet find Luffy
@@madara222 honestly no. I don’t think he’s the right character to show up though. It’s the couple pages from ch 1073. I would love it to be the grand fleet or dragon or cross guild but 2 of those haven’t even been mentioned this arc. It just makes sense
@@onkelreyleigh6353 so if I can theorize a little bit. Maybe after Marco shows up and gets proof weevil is whiteboards son it’s then he decides to go break him out.
One thing to consider, is that travel in One Piece has never taken particularly long. We know the Marines can leverage waterways to travel faster than pirates, furthermore we know the revolutionaries have been able to do something of their own to travel fast too (Kuma was one way, but there seem to be others), and on top of this we've seen how fast pirates can travel. Look pre timeskip at how much time was spent on ships versus on islands, or look post time skip for the same. I don't think it's Dragon because he doesn't seem to have been in a hurry, but from what we know of travel times, and from what we saw of Ace's ability to travel it's not impossible for Sabo to show up. Thought it's a missed opportunity for Kizaru and Dragon to not meet.
I think Shanks go back to the island that Bartho took and said : " Hey , what are y'all doing here ? aren't y'all supposed to be Luffy"s grand fleet ??? so what are you doing here when he need your help in Egghead island? " and took back his island without fighting.
I wonder if the reduced page count is a result of the unfinished chapter we got a few chapters back. To prevent that happening again, the page count was reduced.
i like how you brought up sanji saying everything would be fine to bonny. it actually fills me with so much dread. My opinion of sanji is he is an incredibly effective smooth operator. However, he cannot be left anone without a high authority in the crew. or someone strong enough to save him from himself. Sanji does really well when he goes off and does his own thing. Surprisingly well. However, in 2 major arcs, when he had to get away from the crew, he resolved to leave them, for varying reasons. I know he didn't in the end and i know he wouldn't, definitely not now. However, he has clearly shown himself to be a wild card, and he's not good at juggling tasks, which is ironic for a chef. He always does everything he can to make sure everything turns out alright. He's fast enough to cover all of his bases, and he has the perception to notice what is in the most danger. His problem is priorities. He gets them mixed up all the time. He lets pretty women steal his focus. He regularly puts himself and his female crew members in harms way because of his personal feelings. Then whenever he is actually doing a good job at staying on task, he often ends up failing across the board to sufficently deal with all of the problems he's dealing with. He's always biting off more than he can chew and rushing headlong into danger. He does it with good intentions. However it makes him a loose cannon. Its why you can't assume everything will be alright when sanji is on the case. Something is going to fall through the cracks. And if he can get to everything, he can never do enough. Zoro can't be left alone, but he's the best leader in the crew barring only, jinbei, and robin. Zoro doesn't have as much of a mind for strategy, but he's perceptive, and careful. Robin and Jinbei are both why better suited for taking on many tasks at once than sanji is. So when sanji says it's gonna be okay i get scared, and i can already see his grip on the situation slipping. He's going to do everything he can. I'm proud of him fighting so hard. However, he's gonna fail someone. Either Kuma and bonny, or Vegapunk. I cannot see a world where he pulls of the 3 for 1 save tbh.
Maybe I'm just crazy but the way I interpreted that ending was that the ship that was escorted out had turned around and was now attacking the marines. Admittedly that doesn't make much sense but they are technically the closest 3rd party nearby that we know of.
I do believe that cross guild might be the ones there. Maybe after years of searching for Captain John’s treasure, he eventually finds it and it happens to be the 4th road poneglyph. During this time though, luffy and the others are on the other side of the island. So by the time they escape and the buster call has concluded, there will be nothing left on the island. This will result in a need for the strawhats to go after cross guild eventually, leading to a reunion of Buggy vs Luffy, Zoro vs Mihawk, Crocodile vs Mr Prince, etc. However I see zoro losing again, but that’s a theory for a different time
And to address the pages issue, if you count all the double pages, it should equal out to 17-18 pages, like if you were to be reading from a manga book itself
I think it'd be funny if it ended up being Vivi just seeing the ship under attack and manipulating Morgans and Wapol to somehow do something about it in a very Namiesque kinda way. It'd be so one piece all of us theorizing about the cross guild, revolutionary army finally moving, Blackbeard pirates... and it ended up being just a bird, a fat moronic glutton and a blue haired princess casually stumbling upon trouble
It’s probably law who saved luffy and maybe teleported him to the vending machine, yes he got beaten by black beard but still escaped, probably wondering “why haven’t he fought and showed himself yet” well…he got beaten by black beard..badly…can’t really fight after that, and who knows how to get luffy back up? The bear who did it last time…bepo (and the rest of laws crew but they died or something) and who’s gonna defend luffy from the marines? Bepo or law oooor if luffy gets his strength back from the food quickly..
0:55 They swear to go help him if he were in trouble but they're not close to Wano so it took them a dozen of days to come. Sadly Luffy's crew left for Egghead before they could met so the fleet is only catching up to him now in this chapter !
I'm a big advocate of the portable frid- I mean Caribou joining the crew, if not out of reluctance. It was shown off waaaaay long ago, as if by an omen of God (or Oda), that he can't survive the New World, with or without his brother/crew. Even if he's barely hanging in there, I have to agree that his usefulness as a portable snack repository is helping Luffy a lot in getting back into tough fights. At this point, Oda has to be setting something up with Caribou, either with the realization that he can't make it in the New World no matter where the Straw Hats drag him to and potentially accepting his new role as a mobile vending machine for Luffy (and probably pointing that out to everyone else to keep his behind in barely safe hands of the rest of the crew).
I do wonder if the shorter chapters are a result of Oda's eye condition, or if it's his bosses telling him and his team to slow down the pace of production of One Piece to artificially extend it as he has intentions of wrapping it up sooner rather than later.
As a One Piece fan it truly makes me happy (also a little sad) to say that you've officially become apart of my since of dread from the incoming end of One Piece. But it does however make this experience that much more exciting. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this up as long as you have, you are truly an icon to a near perfect community. I don't ever write comments or messages like this so I apologize for it being weird, I just came to a realization throughout the length of your video and wanted to share my feelings 😅 Much love.
Could the chapter lengths have anything to do with volume lengths? ie if Oda wants to end on a certain moment but only has x pages, he’ll do shorter chapters.
It’s got to be Enel this time. I predict Enel’s return every 2-3 chapters, but one of these times I’m bound to be right.
infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters will eventually write all of shakespear
One day😂
I’ve been waiting for Enel’s return since Skypiea ended. However, as time goes on, it’s getting tougher and tougher for me to see how he would come back in a relevant capacity, story wise and power wise.

I'm gonna pay any amount of currency to see barto come in and show us his interpretation of gear 5th
Bartolomeo got one of the most busted DF's in the entire story, completely unbreakable barriers. so tough that even Oden with a serious 2-sword style attacks and Haki at his prime(after years of traveling with WB and Roger) could not put a scratch on that barrier.
so now imagine an awakening of such a DF. turning the surroundins into unbreakable barriers and maybe manifesting multuple barriers all around rather than one limited barrier.
I feel like bartolomeo would literally start worshipping Luffy like a God instead of just being a big fan. oh yeah, doesn't "Bartholomew" Kuma worship Nika?

2:00 Damn, 1078 was released in March 2003. That indeed is almost a year and more.

Yeah it feels like just a year ago but it was actually released before I was born. Time really does move fast.
Lol
How did you edit this and still fail lol
You mean 2013?
I think the trend of lesser chapters with lesser pages is reasoned in several things.
1. Oda is directly and intensively working with netflix for the OP live action series, as well as the new anime adaptation thats coming soon. As far as i know he has to approve and sign basically everything OP live action does and hes probably as deeply involved with studio Wit, Toei and Netflix regarding the new anime adaptation
2. Odas eye condition (which shouldnt affect him that much, especially after the surgery he went under last year, but who knows)
3. Since were getting closer and closer to the Final Saga and the ending of the story, Oda may be unsure on some ideas and stuff, which holds him back from telling too much in a chapter from time to time
Doesn't Joe Joe's have almost as many chapters ? But more actual pages in each chapter
@Uzumakibarage jjba began in 1987 and has less than 1000 chapters total. They are not comparable.
@@onlys9068 of course they are comparable
I don't get why they are not comparable? I am a Fan of OP but i can still criticize the lack of Manga content and the recent horrible pacing. I saw someone say that the chcapters are shorter cause of Oda's influence with the Netflix OP. If it is true then that is so sad cause the manga is my fav medium and its getting lackluster effort. If you doubt my critique re read the last 8 chapters of One Piece back to back and tell me that its good or ok pacing.@@onlys9068
Twitter made me feel crazy for thinking it was the Grand Fleet, so I went crazy and tracked the timelines all off relevant events from 1060 - 1105.
I learned that the Reverie a month or so ago (1083), the destruction of Luluscia happened in the last week (1089), & that Kizaru x Saturn were headed to Egghead before they learned about the Strawhats (1079), likely because they had the void century on the brain after Luluscia and York kept poking the bear (1062, 1068, 1089). Like Bonnie and Sabo, at least 2 Grand Fleet Captains were at the Reverie and escaped (1085).
Also of note, G14 seems to be a little more than a day's sail away (1089, 1068) yet Kizaru and Saturn arrived, presumably, a day after CPO and [2 days after issuing the assassination order, 1day after learning about Luffy].
Fun Facts: if the Strawhats have been on Egghead for 2 days then Morgan's newscoo's are more beast than I thought. There's already been two news releases to the world; one that luffy captured Vegapunk + Garp getting captured, and one that the Gov. planned on a seige (1089 & 1103).
My Takeaway: Oda plays weird with time and the serialized releases do nothing to help my perception of it. Some moments, like Saturn on Egghead and Bonnie attacking him and Kuma showing up, takes a matter of minutes but appears across at least 3 chapters, where as some things seem to be concurrent but are actually mild flashbacks (like sabo making it to Rev. Army)
Anyways, now I'm crazy and I can't put the genie back in the bottle
LOL when fans take the manga more serious than the mangaka LOL. Trust me Oda doesn't plan travel time in One Piece. If you analyzed the manga with logical time expectation not much would line up.
People up to today still say Akainu got Destroyed by white beard, not realizing the entire War lasted less than 24 hrs and after Akainu got attacked by the strongest enraged White beard, he literally just got up and attaked the rest of WB pirates.
My wild card guess is that the Giants are coming to help save Egghead Island. They appeared to help Ohara in the past and I think that they caught wind of the massive Marine fleet and chose to intervene. That could give a very interesting segue into getting the Strawhats on a journey to Elbaf with someone of importance like they normally bump into or a Giant that they have met before,.
Yeah I think there’s is maybe 3 realistic options and this is one of them since they are close by and Saul is a friend of Vegapunk. Grand fleet being another last being dragon but highly unlikely.
Would be a third arc where the Straw Hats are under a buster call and giants save them. Even Kuma is part giant because of his buccaneer lineage.
This was my guess aswell! It's abit far-fetched, but we are supposed to move towards Elbaf, so....
I FREAKING CALLED IT!
@@darkeneddragon19 You were looking quite far into the future...
10:11 i love that jimbei, even though he's probably the most knowledgeable guy on the crew, always is up to do it the "strawhats" way and just enjoys the way they do it even though he probably would do things completely different
It's wholesome watching this, for lack of a better term, old man get used to the next generation's shenanigans and even join in from time to time. I wish he was brought on sooner but we wouldn't have gotten scenes like him leaving big moms crew
Jimbe is the definition of Lackey lol, even shanks has a Rockstar, jimbe is the strawhats Rockstar.
One thing to consider with Barto: in the midst of searching for him, Shanks ended up in Elbaf. So is it possible that was Oda's way of telling us, Shanks had intel Barto is/was in the vicinity of Elbaf at some point. If so, Barto could be alot closer than one would think.
Which would make the Grand Fleet showing up interesting, because of what it could lead to. Shanks didn't want to meet Luffy, and decided to chase Barto. Just to finally catch up to Barto, when hes with Luffy. In which case, Luffy would need to prove his crew is greater than Shanks' to save Barto. "And at last, the battle between that character and that may have unexpected results" -Oda. What if ........
I feel like Luffy wouldn't protect Barto from Shanks. After hearing what Barto did Luffy would be like "Ok here he is."
@@NoName...... You greatly misunderstood how Luffy feels about his friends. What you're suggesting is the equivalent of Luffy turning his bacc on his nakama.
Don't think Shanls was looking for him Shanks said "hey Benn let's go get the One Piece" more likely he went to elbaph to get or find out where the last road poneglyph is
@JohneeBlaize Barto isn't Luffy's friend though. More like an unofficial subordinate
@@NoName......lol you must be reading one piece backwards if you truly think luffy would give up barto to shanks
The person that will save Luffy is one that nobody will see coming. Imagine an awakened Foxy coming to the straw hats rescue, now that would something to see.
That'd be awesome!
I agree, what do you think his awakening would be? Genuinely curious
It's true, we need a new cover story. So I'll list characters thar I think we could get to see in the next cover story:
- to close the "post whole cake island arc cover stories cycle" (which includes Capone Bege's cover story and the Germa 66's one) I think that Pekoms is the only remaining character of which we need an update about his current status
- Carrots and the other minks returning to Zou
- Yamato exploring Wano like Oden did + helping Momonosuke and the others bringing Wano back to its former glory from before Orochi and Kaido's reign
- Law and Bepo trying to get their crew back
- Marco and the original Stussy
- X Drake or/and Apoo
- Koza leaving Alabasta and going to look for Vivi with Karoo and Eyelashes (I know, very unlikely)
- Perona and Moria
I'm 100% behind that idea of Law and Bepo. Actually I'm thinking it should be called Adventures of the Broken Hearts Pirates or something like that
Pekoms died brother
@@austinmccon2759 can't really say that in One Piece
Finally, the greatest on the world are coming. Behold! Ganster Gastino, Con D. Oriano, and Sogeking
@5:09 Surely there must be another person behind that newspaper, because I’m counting two hands on that amputee…
I want it to be everyone. Everyone you think should be there would be there, except maybe the Revs, and they'll all be there for different reasons. What I imagine is kind of like a modern day God Valley incident. Where all the people that would go on to define the new era woould converge and shake the world up. I think that would be kind of like setting up a God valley parallel in advance, and it would be INSANE if thats what actually ends up happening. But knowing Goda, what he has instore is probably even better than this. I can't wait to see what he does.
I had this same thought too. MAD’s miss Bakkon is seeking Vegapunk with Weevil. Weevil/Crocodile and their history with whitebeard is still an unresolved thing. There’s some reason for almost everyone showing up.
I've never begged so hard to see buggy there and to steal the glory of killing Saturn 😂😂
Imagine if Cross Guild comes, there will be 4 former warlords of the sea working to probably bust a buster call
Considering how Oda likes to surprise everyone and go with the least expected scenario, my bet would be on Cross Guild too.
Actually had an epiphany. Could be Koby and the Marines.
Koby/Luffy reuniting right now might actually be pretty peak
I want a reunion too but the Kobys and Garps fight happen at the same time so it is not them. I hope that the Garp rescue from the Marines and the Straw hats will be the next arc though. Or SWORD does it on their own
Would Koby sink a Marine ship though?
There's no chance Koby is the one sinking a marine ship, pretty ridiculous theory to be honest
Idk about you guys but a emotional charged Koby witnessing marine vessels attacking a innocent ship of people seems like a pretty good reason to me.
Oda may be alluding the the ‘island Luffy wants to go to’ being Hatchinoso
I took the Sanji thumbs up to Bonney as a protective big bro moment, and I was so happy there weren't any stupid hearts... but now I'm scared
Thinking about the MADS story being told through Egghead, I think it has to be Marco and Weevil showing up with old Stussy to Egghead. Marco would be able to burn a boat, and break it in half. And if this is the opposite side of the coin to Marineford then Whitebeards kid stopping the Marines would be fitting, and could introduce the chaos Blackbeard needs to appear before the end of the arc.
yea except weevil was captured by green bull and is most likely in impel down. so there goes ur theory buddy
@@chivochivo1597 and Cross Guild recently said they'd break into Impel Down for Doflamingo, along with Oda playing with that specific breakout you think they'd only broke him out?
My theory is still valid, Stussy and Marco are headed there according to the last time we saw them because Marco wants to know if Weevil is really Whitebeards heir. But you can take Weevil out if it troubles you that much, because again Marco was headed to Egghead.
@@Pickn4Gold that about cross guild was never stated..
They did what?? And when??@@Pickn4Gold
@@Pickn4Gold interesting idea. Oda should bring back Doflamingo if he has Cross Guild with other former Warlords in it and he could fill in some other story parts, like maybe God's Valley is why his father decided to leave the other Celestial Dragons on the Red Line and live like civillians?
Not sure if it was actually said they were for sure breaking in there but the implication and foreshadowing necessitates it.

To be fair, the conversation with Sabo ended with them guessing the origin and intent of the weapom that destroyed Lulusia and Vegapunk's involvement. Also there was a call placed to Dragon by Shaka stating he's going to die. So even if not Dragon himself, we now know there are specific revolutionary parties for every region of the world so one of them could be on their way
To be fair, the revolutionaries are still not moving their asses from gay island

sanji has always been strategic, and good at planning ahead, little garden, alibasta, especially water 7/ Enies lobby. i truly hope oda doesnt take that from him completely. even though i think this year will be the year of the nose.
10:13 - That's one thing I like about Jimbei on the crew. He sees him himself as and acts like he's the newbie despite being the most experienced pirate overall.
12:19 - Am I the only one imagining "Gear Fifth Tankman" as Luffy turning into a literal tank?
Wouldn't my dear skeleton bro Brook be the most experienced?
@@victorperezurbano9504 I honestly hadn't thought about Brook in that sense, given his 50-year hiatus, but you're right. Jimbei's 2nd most experienced pirate, overall.
Your editors just keep getting better, love the videos!
In what group combination is Chopper the authority? NOT counting during medical emergencies, just in general the crew has split up and are about to fight some Yonko commanders or something, what group has Chopper leading them? In practice I think we only saw this dynamic with Cho-bro (Choniki) and Carrot, but I suppose that's fair.
Actually, mentioning how Jinbe is everyone's junior on the crew actually DOES imply the possibility that if it were just him and Chopper, he might actually have to defer to Chopper's knowledge of the rest of the crew's dynamic. Like how Nami sends him to make sure Zoro doesn't get lost, Chopper could have easily made that call, or something similar like Chopper might ask Jinbe to backup Sanji not because Sanji is weak but because his keen animal nose smells specifically a female scented perfume coming from Sanji's direction and knowing Sanji could not fight a woman.
I totally think its the giants from Luffy's Grand Fleet that are coming because he kept showing up in all the Elbaf flashbacks and the captain was there when Prince Loki was born
The cross guild has great reasons to go to egghead!
1. Three words MS ALL SUNDAY, MI need to steal 3 road ponegliffs when you have one person who already knows 3 abs can read the 4th
2. Crocodile from the beginning seems to have knowledge of things we have no idea of how he got said knowledge. So making a play for vegapunk (or his technology) could be a great move
3. There's a Elder in the island and taking advantage of taking him down could further the cross guild agenda in an instant.
The Viz translation actually worsened the Zoro v Lucci situation for the former after TCB.
TCB - We need Jimbei to find Zoro and bring him with us
Viz - Zoro and Lucci are still going at it, we need to go, we need to send the strongest fighter among our group to help Zoro get out of there
I didn't even think of Neo MADS but it makes a ton of sense, lots of valuable research and tech, Caesar's fruit could explain how Luffy got fed, and yes they might not want to "recruit" Vegapunk but maybe "retrieve" him
When the Punks were showing the Straw Hats around Egghead orignally, didn't they mention that Egghead could protect itself from a Buster Call unlike Ohara? They revealed some tech then we should talk about more because it was giving us foreshadowing of what is going to happen the rest of the arc.
This just got me thinking...Bartolomeo's barriers are transparent. That means Kizaru is immune to them, if not only slowed down by them.
Official translations are out and the last panel says, ''We failed to destroy the ship..... They went to egghead".
2 things, 1st I thought that they were talking about the escaping vessel, they wanted to help Vegapunk so they defended themselves and went back to egghead.
2nd It can be black beard pirates who destroyed the ship and are now at egghead because the Marines said, "they went" not "they just left". Maybe they were unconscious and when they woke up they were like, "Oh! They went to egghead, I didn't even notice. I should tell Kizaru"
im still gonna lean heavily on the grand fleet. idk i just really wanna see a gigantic pirate ship battle against the marines and take down that buster call. we might get our first one piece pirate ship battle
Fewer pagers butt something i noticed is that in 1105 the art was a lot cleaner/hq than some of the previous. that "double" spread mentioned at the end with Nami looked really good.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this will happen, I mean, the grand fleet had to have noticed Luffy's Vivra card playing with matches and decided to meet up and head toward Luffy, and depending on where they are they probably couldn't make it in time for Wano and are still going to go to Luffy to see how he is and if they've heard anything at all about Egghead, they can assume he will be there when they arrive. They may not expect the biggest battle in history but they could totally be coming. Love to see what Oda has in store for us.
1:58 dang March 2003, our last cover story was 21 years ago boys
Are people just forgetting that Blackbeard has already been shown to be skulking around Egghead?
"Modular", that's such a perfect way to describe the crew that I never even thought about until now
After Pedro's death, when the group separated from Luffy, it was Jinbe who led, not Nami
The fact that oda has so many cliff hangers with so many possibilities that fan base argue over blows my mind, I feel like it's what gives the community life.
I doubt it's the grand fleet because I don't think they're officially recognised by the world government and at the end of the chapter that marine said " *they're* heading for egghead" which makes me believe it's a more recognised group like the blackbeard pirates
They are officially recognised. For example Sai and Leo attacked the world nobles and anounced they are luffys subordinates. And when luffy was announced 5th emporer he was called senior captain and his crew the nine commanders with a grand fleet of 5640 pirates.
Blackbeard is unlikely IMO. If Blackbeard wanted something on Egghead he would have got it before the Marines showed up. It only really makes sense if the group coming here wants to help Luffy.
"Rookie straw hat." Jimbei said it himself on Wano "I am merely a fledgling."
It's a GIANT surprise... In a GIANT ship...
No one said it so I gotta be the guy "it's obviously Enel"
10:53 wait…did vegapunk light Sanji cigarette…if he did he dead for sure…done… wraps…
One thing that's really interesting: if we're going with parallels from Ohara, after a successful buster call it was basically erased from history. There was nothing for the world to see, no "incident". But the narrator clearly states that the egghead incident will send ripples around the world, and everyone will know about it. Even if buster call succeeds, knowledge is power, and that's why they're destroying the island. The incident being known around the world can only mean one thing: this ends BADLY for the WG. If it ends badly becaus the world knows about what WG did to the island OR the world finds out because of the incident that went wrong for the WG -- we'll just have to wait and see.
It very unlikely but the whole idea with cross guilds would at least give us a reason for Zoro and mihawk to meet again and maybe fight

@@saint037 I could also see hawk eye and crocodile agreeing they need to strengthen there ranks and deciding to raid impel down like Blackbeard did and rescuing mingo it wouldn’t be hard for them to just roll in and kick everyone’s asses there
Caribou would BECOME FOOD STORAGE of the straw hats not feeder. Cook and Feeder go to closely together
I feel like Sanji doesn't get enough credit. He is not only one of the strongest members of the crew but also one of the smartest. He knows what's happening
Reasons why I think it’s the grand fleet
1. The narrator at the end of Dressrosa said they would participate/cause a great incident/event. I think egghead fits the bill.
2. It’s Luffy’s first battle as an official Yonko and what way to illustrate this then to have his massive fleet show up. It lets the world government know if you mess with Luffy you mess with his fleet as well. It’s not just a rag tag group of 10 pirates anymore.
3. Hajrudin being there makes sense as he and the rest of the fleet can escort the crew to Elbaf.
4. Hajrudin and the New Giant Warrior pirates seemed to be the giants recovering the books from ohara from Saul. So like a connection with Saul and if he is in hiding on Elbaf he can bring Robin and the crew to him.
4. Bartolomeo being there could actually be the catalyst for a battle with shanks.
5. Luffy just being rescued by the fleet and acknowledging them as his subordinates can’t let shanks harm bartolomeo.
6. So Luffy and shanks have to fight because the both have responsibilities as captains, Luffy to protect his subordinate and shanks to protect his territory and reputation so he can continue to protect his fleet and territories. That way it doesn’t have to be a Davy back fight. It doesn’t have to be to the death it could be like the Roger Pirates vs the Whitebeard Pirates and end in a big party.
7. Elbaf may not have an antagonist, unless Loki is evil or a twist and Thor is evil and Luffy has to fight them. I could see shanks being the major battle for Elbaf.
8. After a rest and confrontation with shanks it could be SHGF vs BB fleet. I think Luffy will 100% need the grand fleet to deal with BB fleet while the straw hats get their 1v1. It would also be a nice way to introduce other BB pirate member who are powerful but not titanic captain level.
Dang is if hard for anyone else to believe that the entire grandline review channel with its immense number of videos has only been around for 300 or so chapters??
2:00 Can’t believe we’ve been on Egghead for over 20 years.
I adore Oda's artwork, but I'd be fine with another talented manga artist taking over the art so Oda can focus on just writing.
As long as it's not Boichi.
Oof that would be super hard from Odas part buddy . This is not dragon ball . One piece is Odas baby . His story , his drawings. No way in hell odas stops drawing it since it’s his imagination drawing every single detail of the story . If he were to stop drawing it that would mean the manga has ended .
@@shoporiginalco4574exactly. Oda loves drawing things. Take that away from him and he loses all motivation.
13:00 also because the starting of this chapter and the ending of the last one were pretty same ( like a summary-ish thing) so it doesnt seem like a lot of 'new' info was revealed
It's Kaido and big mom, covered in lava, coming for Luffy.
😂😂
My comment was finally mentioned in your videos, can’t be more happy right now. Thank you so much Liam and keep the work up, you have a fantastic channel!
What if Mihawk adopts S-hawk and after Zoro beats him, he starts training S-hawk to take down Zoro, so that Zoro can always have a legitimate threat? Cuz he'd have all of the mihawknes in a tight little package that can only get stronger.
Ah yes Mihawk will train the ultimate minority for Zoro to hunt
"Tight little package " pause.
No else thinking it’s Saul and his comrades ? Seems like a nice way to tie him back into the Ohara/Buster call parallels. Perhaps a reunion with Robin too.
It could be Sabo and Dragon, My thought process it Shanks at Marineford "Shanks can't arrive at Marineford because he's fighting Kaido far away"
It's definitely Blackbeard. Lafitte and Devon sailed to Egghead to potentially negotiate Vegapunk joining up with them, but they called in Teach and the others from Winner Island (Thank you, Warp-Warp Fruit!), and they sunk the Marine ship sent to sink the evacuees because it's win-win. Either they get grateful scientists who worked under Vegapunk himself for the crew, or they get hostages to barter with Vegapunk for his cooperation in their technological endeavors (not that Teach has any at the moment, but he wouldn't mind the option being available). But! If Blackbeard really does have designs on Vegapunk, then that means Shanks will be stepping in to stop him, and the whole Egghead operation turns into a three-Emperor catastrophe for the World Government that not even Kizaru and Saint Saturn can get them out of!
I 1000% think Lafitte (probably Devon too, but undoubtedly Lafitte) have been on egghead since that one BB ship showed up. I can even see Lafitte specifically being the dude moving luffy around, if the man snuck past mihawk he can definitely get by the average marine unnoticed. As for why, it might be that he (or the BB pirates in general) know that luffy/the gomu gomu no mi is important for finding the One Piece and need him to stay alive? Same reason why Roger said they got to Laugh Tale too early?
Wait, where is Don Krieg from this list? How could you forget the most powerful entity out there that's been lingering in the shadows for more than 1000+ chapters... I guess my previous comment did not emphasise enough the importance of his character and the likelihood of such encounter...
Joke was never funny, cringe agenda

He needs to come back so helmeppo can arrest him
GASP! What if it's Gin?! He DID say he'd meet the crew again in the Grand Line and has yet to make good on that promise. Man's had two years to get into shape enough!
@@7thlittleleopard7 I really want to see him return
Weird thing is that they showed a Blackbeard ship approaching Egghead, so if it isn't that, then I feel that was an idea that got cut.
what about man marked by flames? he is associated with sinking ships and what is known by marines is that their ship sunk by someone unknown
It’s likely that Luffy’s vivre card burnt completely in Wano, and the Grand Fleet are approaching Egghead after reading the barricading news.
The problem with Shanks is he'd be conflicted between helping either Luffy or Saturn
If it's Shanks, he's going there after Blackbeard. I highly doubt it's him.
2:03 Back in 2003?! Wow Oda really been slacking with the chapter releases 😂 he on that Togashi schedule
The mystery ship could be Morgans, Vivi has to rejoin the Strawhats somehow. Another option is for Koby to show up and to tell Luffy about Garp.
My issue with the Grand Fleet is that they would’ve been going to Wano instead of Egghead. The only way they show up on time is if they arrived at Wano within the day Luffy left, got the direction Luffy left for, and left within that day.
If the Grand Fleet decides since Luffy isn’t currently fighting and stays in Wano, or simply they pulled up more than a day after the Straw Hats left, then they’ll still be sailing.
Meanwhile it’s more likely BB for a few reasons.
Number 1: besides Shanks he’s the closest.
Number 2: a ship of theirs pulled up the day before and the only two Titanic Commanders are Catarina and Laffitte. Now I don’t know about you, but there’s no way they saw the Seraphim’s, the army of pacifista, CP0, as well as the Straw Hats and just said “Nah, I’d win.” Like they definitely called for backup as soon as they realized how out of control Egghead is right now (original plan was just sneak in and out without being detected, but whoever Catarina disguises as would still lead to them getting attacked).
3. BB doesn’t sleep, meaning he can go full throttle throughout the night and when everyone is awake he can use Quakes to fly through the ocean faster. Basically BB might just have the fastest moving ship if he uses his Quakes. He’s just gonna need a little rest before getting into Egghead.
Also their ship arriving lines up with when the citizens were evacuating and when Saturn said he sent the marines to sink them.
Makes more sense if it's the RA that comes to egghead given the ties between characters, places & past events that we've seen in previous chapters. What if dragon has a busted wind logia devil fruit that allows him to manipulate & travel fast via tornado? Along with a fleet of RA ships that are caught in said tornado there's still a chance for them to appear🤞
As silly as Swamp Nakama is, I genuinely do think it’d be really funny if Caribou became a Straw Hat by accident/because of a misunderstanding.
Like the WG saw him leave Wano with Luffy, saw him arrive on Egghead with Luffy, potentially saw him help Luffy if he did indeed deliver that food, and with a Buster Call they’ll almost certainly see him leave with Luffy, so I could see a scenario where he gets a bounty with the WG assuming he’s a Straw Hat, and everyone is flabbergasted by it, none moreso than Caribou himself.
Bartolomeo saving Bartholomew
Now that you think about it, it makes sense, at least the names being similar
i just realized that robin being quiet but still had a thinking bubble so maybe she was concentrating on something. feeding her captain perhaps?
If Luffy died on onigashima then wouldn't that mean the vivre card burned away and I don't think they regenerate after burning once so how would the grand fleet find Luffy
yea but it starts to burn little by little when the person's life is in danger. it burns away completely when the person is dead
@@chivochivo1597 I am saying if Luffy died on onigashima as implied my the manga then his vivre card would have burned away
@@vax27yea except he didn't die so his vivre card is still in tact
Chapters are shorter because there’s a lot of action happening. If I recall correctly, Marineford had very short chapters as well
I havent seen alot of people mention it but old Stussy and Marco may have left for egghead. I really think its them who saved the ship.
Im sure Miss Buckin would want her "son" to get rescued first(though tbf she WAS very keen on treasure so MAYBE marco might've persuaded her that way)
ok come on, marco was pretty involved in wano already you really think a writer like oda would just reuse him again so soon, your joking right?
@@madara222 honestly no. I don’t think he’s the right character to show up though. It’s the couple pages from ch 1073. I would love it to be the grand fleet or dragon or cross guild but 2 of those haven’t even been mentioned this arc. It just makes sense
@@onkelreyleigh6353 so if I can theorize a little bit. Maybe after Marco shows up and gets proof weevil is whiteboards son it’s then he decides to go break him out.
One thing to consider, is that travel in One Piece has never taken particularly long. We know the Marines can leverage waterways to travel faster than pirates, furthermore we know the revolutionaries have been able to do something of their own to travel fast too (Kuma was one way, but there seem to be others), and on top of this we've seen how fast pirates can travel. Look pre timeskip at how much time was spent on ships versus on islands, or look post time skip for the same.
I don't think it's Dragon because he doesn't seem to have been in a hurry, but from what we know of travel times, and from what we saw of Ace's ability to travel it's not impossible for Sabo to show up. Thought it's a missed opportunity for Kizaru and Dragon to not meet.
I think Shanks go back to the island that Bartho took and said : " Hey , what are y'all doing here ? aren't y'all supposed to be Luffy"s grand fleet ??? so what are you doing here when he need your help in Egghead island? " and took back his island without fighting.

"Chapter 1078, which was released in March 2003"
... are you sure about that?
I wonder if the reduced page count is a result of the unfinished chapter we got a few chapters back. To prevent that happening again, the page count was reduced.
i like how you brought up sanji saying everything would be fine to bonny. it actually fills me with so much dread. My opinion of sanji is he is an incredibly effective smooth operator. However, he cannot be left anone without a high authority in the crew. or someone strong enough to save him from himself. Sanji does really well when he goes off and does his own thing. Surprisingly well. However, in 2 major arcs, when he had to get away from the crew, he resolved to leave them, for varying reasons. I know he didn't in the end and i know he wouldn't, definitely not now. However, he has clearly shown himself to be a wild card, and he's not good at juggling tasks, which is ironic for a chef. He always does everything he can to make sure everything turns out alright. He's fast enough to cover all of his bases, and he has the perception to notice what is in the most danger. His problem is priorities. He gets them mixed up all the time. He lets pretty women steal his focus. He regularly puts himself and his female crew members in harms way because of his personal feelings.
Then whenever he is actually doing a good job at staying on task, he often ends up failing across the board to sufficently deal with all of the problems he's dealing with. He's always biting off more than he can chew and rushing headlong into danger. He does it with good intentions. However it makes him a loose cannon. Its why you can't assume everything will be alright when sanji is on the case. Something is going to fall through the cracks. And if he can get to everything, he can never do enough. Zoro can't be left alone, but he's the best leader in the crew barring only, jinbei, and robin. Zoro doesn't have as much of a mind for strategy, but he's perceptive, and careful. Robin and Jinbei are both why better suited for taking on many tasks at once than sanji is. So when sanji says it's gonna be okay i get scared, and i can already see his grip on the situation slipping. He's going to do everything he can. I'm proud of him fighting so hard. However, he's gonna fail someone. Either Kuma and bonny, or Vegapunk. I cannot see a world where he pulls of the 3 for 1 save tbh.
Maybe I'm just crazy but the way I interpreted that ending was that the ship that was escorted out had turned around and was now attacking the marines. Admittedly that doesn't make much sense but they are technically the closest 3rd party nearby that we know of.
I do believe that cross guild might be the ones there. Maybe after years of searching for Captain John’s treasure, he eventually finds it and it happens to be the 4th road poneglyph. During this time though, luffy and the others are on the other side of the island. So by the time they escape and the buster call has concluded, there will be nothing left on the island. This will result in a need for the strawhats to go after cross guild eventually, leading to a reunion of Buggy vs Luffy, Zoro vs Mihawk, Crocodile vs Mr Prince, etc. However I see zoro losing again, but that’s a theory for a different time
I don't think it's Cross Guild either, but I do love the idea of Buggy the Star Clown being (falsely) credited with killing an Elder Star 😂
The ending is going to be such a bittersweet moment.
And to address the pages issue, if you count all the double pages, it should equal out to 17-18 pages, like if you were to be reading from a manga book itself
I have a feeling it could be Edward Weevil. We have already seen one clone this arc and Weevil really hasn't done anything since his introduction.
I think it'd be funny if it ended up being Vivi just seeing the ship under attack and manipulating Morgans and Wapol to somehow do something about it in a very Namiesque kinda way. It'd be so one piece all of us theorizing about the cross guild, revolutionary army finally moving, Blackbeard pirates... and it ended up being just a bird, a fat moronic glutton and a blue haired princess casually stumbling upon trouble
It’s probably law who saved luffy and maybe teleported him to the vending machine, yes he got beaten by black beard but still escaped, probably wondering “why haven’t he fought and showed himself yet” well…he got beaten by black beard..badly…can’t really fight after that, and who knows how to get luffy back up? The bear who did it last time…bepo (and the rest of laws crew but they died or something) and who’s gonna defend luffy from the marines? Bepo or law oooor if luffy gets his strength back from the food quickly..
If SHANKS pulled up to Egghead it would also be exactly like WANO where Shanks comes to save us from Greenbull randomly...
0:55 They swear to go help him if he were in trouble but they're not close to Wano so it took them a dozen of days to come. Sadly Luffy's crew left for Egghead before they could met so the fleet is only catching up to him now in this chapter !
I'm a big advocate of the portable frid- I mean Caribou joining the crew, if not out of reluctance. It was shown off waaaaay long ago, as if by an omen of God (or Oda), that he can't survive the New World, with or without his brother/crew. Even if he's barely hanging in there, I have to agree that his usefulness as a portable snack repository is helping Luffy a lot in getting back into tough fights. At this point, Oda has to be setting something up with Caribou, either with the realization that he can't make it in the New World no matter where the Straw Hats drag him to and potentially accepting his new role as a mobile vending machine for Luffy (and probably pointing that out to everyone else to keep his behind in barely safe hands of the rest of the crew).
I do wonder if the shorter chapters are a result of Oda's eye condition, or if it's his bosses telling him and his team to slow down the pace of production of One Piece to artificially extend it as he has intentions of wrapping it up sooner rather than later.
As a One Piece fan it truly makes me happy (also a little sad) to say that you've officially become apart of my since of dread from the incoming end of One Piece. But it does however make this experience that much more exciting.
Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this up as long as you have, you are truly an icon to a near perfect community.
I don't ever write comments or messages like this so I apologize for it being weird, I just came to a realization throughout the length of your video and wanted to share my feelings 😅
Much love.
Could the chapter lengths have anything to do with volume lengths? ie if Oda wants to end on a certain moment but only has x pages, he’ll do shorter chapters.
