Shoutout to Kizaru for being the funniest person on Egghead right now Textless version:

[chaogongoozles]

/jk

do you guys like my sonic oc haha

[melkyt]

Bonney's growth was stunted because of her disease right?

Law ending up on Luffy's ship post egghead, sees this child that reminds him of how he was as a child, better yet how Lami was.

This is his little sister now, and he will go 110% in trying to take care of her, and help her do anything she wants. Thats how Kuma gets patched up

Bonney immediately realizes she has Law wrapped around her little finger and starts doing gremlin little sister things. She's never had a big brother, and this is fun

Luffy is watching all this and laughing hia ass off as Law wakes with his face scribbled on because he falls asleep reading Bonney a story

Luffy getting obsessed with how Law is with kids, and is like We should have one of our own! Lets go find a baby treasure chest!

Law not sure if Luffy is serious, and just blinks at the idea that Luffy thinks all pirate captain children come from treasure chests.

Bonney supports Luffy in the idea, duh, pirate children are treasure, so ofc they are going to be in treasure chests! Now make me a big sister... or an aunt? She chuckles bouncing around the ship with Luffy xd

The Way Things Go

Pairing: Kaku x reader

Content: huge spoilers for water 7 and enies lobby!!! kaku calls reader “miss” but gender nuetral pronouns are used besides that, reader is a strawhat, flirting and things!

Word Count: 1.4k

A/N: this is going to be a mini series covering the reader’s arrival in water 7 (with the straw hats ofc!) to the end of enies lobby. basically, how the reader meets kaku, falls for him, learns his true identity, etc. it’s been a WHILE since i watched the water 7/ennies lobby arcs so im sorry if some things aren’t accurate!! also this is very self indulgent, ik he doesn’t have a ton of fans but seeing him in egghead put me back in my kaku era😇 enjoy! <3

Part 2

You walk towards the doors of the shipyard nonchalantly, but with clear direction and intent. “I need to help find a shipwright who can evaluate the Going Merry and tell us what it’ll cost to fix.” Just a few minutes ago, you’d split up from Nami, Luffy, and Usopp in favor of heading straight to the shipyard while they went to find a place to exchange all of your “stolen” treasure for berries, first. Which is how you ended up standing outside a set of massive doors and an equally tall wall to what you had been told was the Galley La Shipyard. However, after finding no buttons or opening mechanism, you try and fail to push open the incredibly heavy doors.

“Afternoon, miss. Are you looking for a way into the Galley-La Company, by chance?”

You turn around expecting someone older, who has lived a life and now finds no reason to speak in anything other than proverbs and make casual small talk using the same dialects that were popular half a century ago. But instead you’re met with a young man, no older than 25, and a nose reminiscent of Usopp’s. He’s tall, with pretty eyes and strawberry blond hair. You notice the words “Galley La” stitched on the front of his baseball cap, and realize he must work there.

“Hi! Yes, I’m looking for a way into the shipyard.” you nod earnestly.

“Allow me to introduce myself then,” the man removes his hat and holds it to his chest as a gesture of respect, “I’m Kaku, one of the shipwrights of the Galley La Company.” Then he extends his hand toward yours, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, miss…?”

“Y/n,” you take his hand and shake it once, “and the pleasure’s all mine.”

He smiles and (ever so slowly) lets go of your hand, then brings two fingers up under his chin in a pondering expression. “Say, you look awfully familiar miss y/n. Don’t tell me… you’re a model!”

You giggle at the compliment, “Only on wanted posters!”

“Ah, we get plenty of pirates around these parts, but I’ve never met one as pretty as yourself.” he punctuates his comment with a wink.

You smile and shake your head, “I’m sorry but I’m kind of on a time crunch; would you be able to let me into the shipyard? My crew and I need repairs on our ship.”

“Certainly, miss. Wait here, and I’ll have the doors open in a jiffy.”

As the shipwright leads the pirate through the yard, he makes quick work of getting closer to you. It doesn’t take long for Kaku to boldly rest his hand on your lower back as if to guide you in new directions. At one point he even hooks his arm around your shoulders to turn you toward a particular construction area, but his flirting does not go unnoticed.

“Next on our tour,” he gestures forward at a building with one hand, with his other on the small of y/n’s back, “this is where we design some of the new ships.”

The building is one of few within the large, outdoor shipyard. Kaku opens the door for you and announces to his fellow shipwrights, who are hard at work designing various ship parts inside, that he’s brought a guest. The building isn’t very large inside, either- just a few tables decorate the interior, all covered in blueprints and drawing tools. You wave politely around the room and even excuse yourself for the intrusion, but your tour guide puts his arm around you once again and assures you that it’s no bother. And he’s right; the ship designers either pay you no mind or kindly explain what they’re doing as  you make your way through the room. Their work is intriguing, and extremely detailed- almost artistic, in a way.

Kaku catches the glint in your eyes and asks, “Are you an engineer? Or- no, an architect?” he incorrectly guesses your occupation, but his attempts are cute at the very least.

You laugh and smile, “No, I’m not. But this work is really amazing… there’s just so much attention to detail; it’s very…”

“Beautiful?” he offers with a proud grin.

“Hm. I was going to say skilled, but yeah, beautiful.” You continue in a slow lap around the room to observe the blueprints and the shipwrights drawing them. When the two of you exit, you give another wave by the door and thank the shipwrights for letting you see their work. Kaku stays behind and winks at his coworkers, who all grin or shake their heads in amusement at his clear pursuit of the visitor (you), before following you outside.

He jogs to catch up and falls into step alongside you. “So, what do you do then if you don’t mind my asking, miss y/n?” Then, he takes on a teasing tone: “Besides pirating, of course.”

“I do plenty.” You joke back. Sure, you could tell him your dream and your role on the crew but… where’s the fun in that? Besides, you barely know the guy.

“You’re awfully mysterious, miss y/n.” He not-so-discreetly observes your profile as you continue walking through the shipyard. “Say, how long are you and your crew in town?”

“Oh, well.. however long it takes for our ship to be repaired, I guess.” Then, your gaze meets his with a somewhat knowing expression. “Why do you ask?”

Kaku smirks, “I’d like to get to know you better.”

With a smirk and a hum of acknowledgment, you both continue walking side by side with an added air of flirtation in every brush of your hands or shoulders. You reach the end of the shipyard, and turn around to head back. On the way back to the front entrance, Kaku agrees to personally asses the Going Merry free of charge, “just for you.” The two of you make plans for him to come to the place where the Straw Hats hid her later that evening when he has time. Finally, you two have done a complete lap around the Galley-La Shipyard, and you find yourselves back at the entrance.

“Thank you again for agreeing to check out our ship. She means a lot to us; my crew and I.”

He puts his hands in his pockets, sort of mimicking your own nonchalant demeanor; “It’s no problem at all, miss. In fact, it’ll be my great pleasure to work for you.”

You giggle at his flirting once again, and bid him farewell. “Well, I’m going to go find my crew mates. I think they probably found us some hotel rooms by now.” (You’d all planned to stay in a hotel while in Water 7, in order for repairs to be carried out.)

Kaku nods, “Then I hope you’ll come visit me when you have the time. Or would you prefer it if I came to you?”

“…You don’t have to do that.” Awkward laughter escapes your lips.

“No, but I sure would like to,” he takes one of your hands and surrounds it with both of his, “if you’ll let me.”

This has your mouth gaping as you search for the right response… He’s so straightforward, unlike most of the young men you’ve met on your travels. “W-well, ok.”

“Ok? So, that’s a yes then?” He chuckles, trying to lighten the mood and ease your nervousness (though he does find it endearing.) “I could only accept your enthusiastic consent, miss y/n, if I were to go ahead with courting you.”

“I- Courting me?” you hold back a laugh, not wanting to tease him for his old fashioned way when you find it so charming. “Then, yes. I enthusiastically agree.”

He grins, “Swell! I think I’ll swing by your Going Merry around 5, shouldn’t talk long to asses damages and give you a quote on how much she’ll be to fix. How about we meet then?”

And you nod, “Sounds like a plan.”

“It is one.” He leans in conspiratorially and wriggles his brows, “One could even call it a date.”

You hide another smile by biting your lip and take a step back. “Right… Well, I’ll see you then!” With a wave over your shoulder, you’re off. He watches for a moment as you disappear into a more crowded area of the street and chuckles to himself.

What a sweet guy. A little old fashioned, but very polite, and so tall and handsome and- sigh.

You’re already falling for him.

[blacklegsanjiii]

ooh angsty reveal idea for warlord!Sanji!!! mb the warlords are all somehow captured (idk how but lets imagine) and theyre boutta be executed for betraying the world gov and when Sanji hears he freaks and insists they go help. strawhats agree cause of jinbei asking plus knowing boa and mihawk. are vry suprised when Sanji interrupts the execution by diving flaming-feet-first into the podium screaming to not touch his parents

ofc they rescue the warlords and coup de burst the hell outta there and all of the crew are furiosly interrogating sanji + warlords on what the hell just happened. after all the initial chaos is over warlords ask what sanjis been up 2 since they last heard. with every new self sactificial act theyre sideeying him a little more. he did not mention any of this

side note but even if sanji wasnt raised by kuma surely he at least hung around him a bit. prbly is upset at finding out his whole backstory during egghead and wants to help

First Kuma: yeah they were around each other but it's definitely not the Kuma Bonney called "Daddy" until Egghead. But when Sanji and Jinbei find out they help, as does the crew. Of course. Sanji and Jinbei are both upset so they give him the denden numbers for the other parents and send them off.

Secondly:

OMFG YES! Sanji gets up first thing in the morning and the newscoo is waiting for him to buy the paper. He does and sees the headline that four former warlords are going to be executed so the first thing he does is ring Perona on her transponder and ask if she wants to help. Then he goes and wakes Jinbei up with and shows him the headline once they're in the galley with coffee. Perona of course agreed to help so now it's just a matter of convincing the crew and getting to the execution sight. Neither of which should be too hard but then again, this is going to be like Ace's execution.

So when the crew is let in for breakfast Jinbei asks Luffy who agrees. They helped save Ace after all so he can return the favor. Luffy even calls up Ace and when they approach the meeting spot Ace and some White Beard commanders are there and so is Perona, who promptly gives Zoro shit.

"So what's the plan?" Vista asks.

"We grab them and go." Luffy says simply and Marco groans because Ace nods in agreement with his baby brother.

"Is he always like this?" Perona asks Sanji.

"Yeah, you should have heard him on the way to Dressrosa." Sanji answers and Perona sighs.

"Any better ideas?" She asks and when no answer is given they go make their way there. The warlords are brought onto the execution platform and seem a little to calm to be on their way to death. Suddenly Sanji is gone and Perona is flying with her ghosts spearing through marines. Luffy and Ace rocket forward as Luffy cheers and Ace yells at him to wait.

And then Sanji is kicking a marine off the platform with his fire feet as Sengoku and Kizaru look at him. Crocodile looks smugly up at them as Doffy is laughing his ass off and yelling about "the kid showing up" and now Sanji is fighting two admirals in front of all his parents.

And once the warlords are free? Mihawk grabs the first sword he sees and goes to help Sanji while yelling at Doflamingo to string the marines up. Crocodile and Boa are excellent distractions. Very excellent as they draw attention away from Mihawk and Sanji. Bitch Boy Akainu is upset as he tries to join the fray but Luffy and Ace have a particular grudge with him that they're happy to take care of now.

"When the hell did you learn to set yourself on fire?!" Mihawk demands.

"Enies Lobby!" Sanji calls back.

"We will be having a proper conversation about this later!" Mihawk warns him over their fighting with admirals.

"Can we focus on this first, please?" Sanji yells as he dodges Sengoku.

"If we must." Mihawk answers.

Once they do get on the Sunny Jinbei tells all the warlords to hold on because the ship can fly for about a minute.

"Oh fucking hell. First our kid and now the fucking ship?" Crocodile demands as the warlords grab hold of whatever part of the ship is closest as the coup de burst happens. Once they're sailing away and a good distance Chopper says he wants to look over all the devil fruit users, Jinbei, Sanji, and Zoro. Boa asks why Mihawk doesn't need a check up and Chopper just looks at Mihawk and then at Boa and says he can't get sick from seastone and unless he's like Sanji he should be fine. Jinbei is nodding solemnly and Sanji is so fucking pale, like thanks for ratting him at you fucking assholes; or it might be the blood loss because he is bleeding from the head and has cuts from Kizaru all over.

"I guess there's no better time for that talk than now." Mihawk says to Sanji. "Set your legs on fire again, I don't think the others caught that bit."

"I saw them in Dressrosa, it's not my fault they put us all separately." Doflamingo laughs.

"You should have called and told us, that seems important enough!" Boa points at Jinbei.

"We were escaping Tottoland and on our way to Wano. Sanji and Luffy were both very injured." Jinbei argues.

"What was going on with that anyway?" Perona asks Sanji. "Because I didn't even get to see you at Thriller Bark and I had to spend two years with that idiot." She points at Zoro.

"Oi!" Zoro yells.

"Do you know how directionally challenged he is? Did you kick him in the head too many times? How is he the first mate?" Perona demands.

"Hell if I know, I'm the cook!" Sanji defends themself.

"I like how they didn't object to kicking Roronoa in the head too many times." Crocodile says to Mihawk.

"I'm still more intrigued by Sanji setting themself on fire." Mihawk says.

"My poor baby! You should go first, look at all this blood!" Boa wails as she grabs Sanji.

"Would you believe me if I said it wasn't the worst?" Sanji asks as he tries to shove her off.

"Oo, tell me more." Perona grins as she floats beside them.

"Now you've done it. Out with it, I haven't seen you since Alabasta." Crocodile gestures with his hook.

"Nevermind this is the worst I've been injured!" Sanji yells as Boa squeezes them tighter.

"Didn't you break your back on Drum island?" Usopp asks.

"Yeah, he has plate holding his spine together which is why Chopper was so upset that God guy shot him with lightning like five times." Nami says.

"Oh! In Wano that bird guy sent you through like four buildings!" Luffy says.

"Didn't you snap your leg in Wano as well?" Robin asks as Mihawk sighs and Doffy laughs.

"Oh my gosh, you're so dumb. No wonder you made such a bad zombie." Perona huffs as Mihawk pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Do you regret getting them off a rock yet?" Doflamingo laughs.

"I'm wondering how I let Zeff talk me into being a parent and then parenting with you four." Mihawk answers.

"Shouldn't have brought them to Warlord meetings then." Boa says sticking her tongue out and squeezing Sanji tighter.

"Truly this is all your fault." Crocodile agrees and Doffy nods while laughing.

"Boa, please don't break Sanji's back...again, apparently." Jinbei says while rubbing his face. Boa sticks her tongue out at him as she follows Chopper to the infirmary with their child.

"How did he even break his back?" Mihawk asks.

"He kicked me and Nami out of the way of an avalanche." Luffy shrugs.

"I wanna hear about the lightning." Doffy smiles.

"Um, some guy on a sky island was going to use it on me and Usopp." Nami says weakly.

"Didn't Cook-bro also have a building fall on him while you were in his body?" Franky asks Nami who pales considerably as Mihawk lets out a long sigh.

[petrichorium]

The all might/deku to garp/koby comparison makes me annoyed not be it’s a Bad comparison but bc it’s a good comparison and only highlights how one pair of chars is like. Infinitely more interesting and dynamic than the other pair and it’s Not the one that involves a whole ass main character 😭😭😭 and on the one hand I recognize that I’m biased bc I fundamentally disagree w Horikoshi/BNHA’s worldview regarding policing and more align w Oda/One Piece’s, but I think it’s also just like. Koby and Garp r better written characters too. Which is again infuriating bc they get all of a handful of scenes over the course of nearly twelve hundred episodes meanwhile Deku is literally the mc like that’s crazy.

I have such a hyperspecific meta/gripe that I keep wanting to yap about but I must admit it’s kinda mean-spirited n would be a more effective discussion if I weren’t bitter abt certain things LOL

One Piece Chapter 1130 - Initial Thoughts

And we're back once again

Chapter came out at a time between the end of my work hours so I had to wait a bit longer but now I'm ready

we're out of the block land, but what lies on the other side? Let's find out

Spoilers for the chapter, support the official release too

Yamato's cover story involves theft, Yamato, Shinobu and Tama all caught lacking as Yasu's sword is stolen

We start with the post-Alabasta crewmates, who tell Dorry and Brogy to stop searching for Luffy

They have faith in the crew, and they have expended all their search options and their food, so the giants agree to continue to Elbaf

The Alabasta crew (sans Vivi ofc) escape the building to a massive castle snowscape

The castle is quite detached from everything, surrounded by woodland on a pedestal and a long rope bridge

Giants are coming across the bridge, so the crew hide, but it's actually some friendlies

Gerd and Goldberg from Hajrudin's crew have come down about intruders

Seems Road - now Rodo - is a bit of a black sheep among Hajrudin's crew, Gerd calling him a crackpot, seems Hajrudin only has him on the crew because of his navigation skill

Oh, Prince Loki is called the 'Shame of Elbaf'

Gerd's pet owl (How Athenian) is called Piper and it spotted Muginn carrying the Sunny

Oh and Elder Jarul is still alive, from Big Mom's flashback

Luffy spots the giants and sees them as friendly, but Nami stops him because they're looking for intruders

Sanji meanwhile is simping on Gerd, while Usopp is elated to confirm that we're in Elbaf

Nami's stoppage didn't snuff out all noise, but when the giants look they do the classic video game enemy ism of 'must've been the wind'

Giant Rope Bridge though means giant gaps between steps, which some of the crew aren't used to, with giant ravenous wolves below

Usopp assures this is just a trial of courage, as he hugs the edges for dear life

Meanwhile Luffy's just on the ropes looking badass

Zoro senses that Luffy's focused on something, and it seems Luffy has sensed something

Sanji quickly asserts not to go anywhere, also grabbing Zoro as to not run off

Luffy however had no such restraint, and thus dives down anyway

Back with the Post-Alabasta Crew and the news fallout from Egghead is happening

Dorry and Brogy have been pinned for destroying Egghead, and their bounties have gone up to 1.8 Billion each

As we assumed anyway, the 100 million bounty they had back at Little Garden was a product of inflation, confirmed by Robin here

Luffy's also blamed for killing Vegapunk, Franky's annoyed (I mean he is his idol) but Lilith teases him about it

Luffy's pic has the X in it though?

Also true how do they get these photos? Apoo wasn't there, does someone cave like a camera devil fruit like that My Hero Academia filler guy?

Ah Robin is also curious about the X

Detective Robin notes that Luffy's arm is blurry save for the X, like it's separate

OH! Did Vivi embellish it on the photo like a coded message? Wouldn't it be a shame if all the crewmates who'd recognize this symbol were elsewhere???

Dorry and Brogy ask about Luffy's standing, now that he's an emperor like Shanks, and Hajrudin works under him

Oooh Hajrudin lore, he's the son of the King of Elbaf!

Hajrudin wanted to pick up Luffy but Dorry and Brogy have seniority...and he probably would've fared worse

Prince Loki lore now, seems Loki is Hajrudin's brother

He allegedly 'devoted himself to darkness' and was a few years back - so post-Lola - sentenced to crucifixion

It took all the Warriors of Elbaf to capture him

Jinbe was on Big Mom's crew so he'd know it's Loki

Oh but there's more, the royal family passes down a legendary devil fruit, Prince Loki killed his own father - King Harold - in order to acquire it

Right, don't let Loki free gotcha

And here's Luffy, clearly not about to let Prince Loki free XD

Hell of a panel though, got Oars energy here

Prince Loki looks to have a cool design, but he's been chained to the World Tree and his eyes covered, he has the Doflamingo-ism of grinning wide and sticking his tongue out

Also Norse myth connection! Loki was chained to a rock until Ragnarok, the chains were technically the intestines of one of his sons and a venomous snake would drip poison over his head (his wife would shield it with a bowl, but when the bowl was filled there'd be a brief window of pain as she emptied it, which would cause earthquakes). Upon Ragnarok he will break from his chains, his son Fenrir will eat Odin, his son Jormungandr will kill Thor, and he will kill Heimdall, but like the World Serpent at the cost of his life

He asks Luffy's name and Luffy answers the way he does

He mulls about Luffy's declaration to be a king, but answers Luffy in kind about the setting

This is War Land, the kingdom of Elbaf: the Birthplace of War

We have our big Elbaf spread, and the castle they were in for context right near the bottom

It's a giant tree with 2 tiers, the middle tier seems to be the most bustling area; Giant cannons and swords are seen in the middle level, along with waterfalls and another grand castle to the left

Loki introduces himself as the Sun God who will bring about the end of the world

Oh a 2 week break? Oda must be skipping Halloween XD between this and the anime hiatus that's a shame, but 2 weeks is doable

Another strong chapter from Elbaf, which we can now confirm to be in.

Prince Loki's design is another winner, I am slightly concerned he may end up too much like Doflamingo (killed his dad, the happy tongue thing, being chained up a lot) but we'll see, Luffy's very clearly gonna open Pandora's box here it seems. There's also the curiosity of what his DF will be.

If he's Hajrudin's brother it seems we might be getting a little Shakespearean here, Hajrudin is waiting for Luffy so he has to play a role, but does it become a civil war? In a place called War Land that wouldn't be too surprising (I doubt though it's the birthplace of war, more that it's the birthplace of Elbaf, the Giants' God of War). Or maybe Oda goes another direction, is this truly our villain or perhaps Luffy's kindness towards him begets a redemption?

My Vivi theory has latched onto my brain too, but while I like how we divided things I do hope we don't just ignore the Post-Alabasta crew, just delay them a short while - there's still Lilith, Kuma and Bonney stuff to deal with there too.

But we'll just have to stew on it for the new two weeks, the more we get answers the more we get mystery.

[uaremyjae]

[ SPOILER ONE PIECE CHAP. 1105 ]

IS THE UNKNOWN PARTY APPEAR AT EGGHEAD WILL BE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY?

Okay so I have read the summary spoilers this morning and oh boy, the title itself is funny like “ THE PEAK OF SEVERE STUPIDITY” like what’s that even mean oda???

Anyway I want to talk about the last part of the chapter where it’s says that there’s unknown party has pulled at egghead and destroyed Marines warship that going after the escape technicians & research teams of Egghead. And the Marine frantically asked to call for Admiral Kizaru and tell him that “ They’re heading to Egghead” ?? 👀 This unknown party must be a very huge threat that it requires for Admiral Kizaru attention.

Some people thinks of maybe Blackbeard Pirates, I was like nah Blackbeard helping escapees in a broad daylight? That’s very uncharacteristic of BB Pirates where they all go for sneaky & stealthy attack. Besides BB already at Egghead.

Some people said maybe it’s Neo MADS. 🤷‍♀️ I am not onboard with that idea but it could be a wild card who knows. I’m not Oda. Why I think it’s not Neo MADS is that Judge is not that stupid to come to egghead Island with his bigass snails 🐌 ship with potential catch strays along in the Buster Calls. It’s better for them to watch Vegapunk downfall since they both wanted that and get the chance to be hire by WG.

Revolutionary Army?

Ooh that’s what makes me feel like ITS POSSIBLE. Ok some people said “ RA is at Momoiro Island at the Grand line Paradise. There’s no way they can arrived at Egghead that fast.”

Seriously? Did everyone forget that Shanks pull up at Marineford from New World? When he literally stopped Kaido from coming a day before execution? 😬

And you think Revolutionary Army only resides at Grand Line? Ofc that’s their HQ and they must have their branches at every sea. See that’s what people forgot about the whole RA’s structure. And Dragon did mention before founding RA that he want to raise into a massive armed force scattered across the globe. Did he make it? YES!

You see RA’s has 4 captains for each blue sea forces. East Blue; Bello Betty, West Blue; Morley, South Blue;Lindbergh, North Blue; Karasu and each seas has their own team led by those captains. You are here telling me RA’s doesn’t have a team that resides at New World?

And the panel of where Vegapunk via Shaka ( RIP shaka mann 😭) talk with somebody that he can see that his death is about to happen and it turns out, it’s DRAGON who he is talking to. Another thing that seems possible is that Dragon asked Ivan opinion of where would Kuma heading to if a fragment of his true instinct still there. AND THE CLIFFHANGER THERE 🧐

I think He’ll— go where Iva? I think Iva knew Kuma will be heading to where his daughter is. Remember the exchange of how “ Child is Parents’ Weaknesses” from Dragon to Kuma? And with Shaka in contact with Dragon, there might possibility that Shaka inform him about Luffy & Bonney is on the island and the assassination planned on VP.

Judging by how the latest ending chapter turns out, the chances that RA pulled up to prevent lives of Egghead become like Ohara is quite high. Like the whole reveal about how Dragon told Vegapunk he will create military forces that can fight back after Ohara incident on Ohara remains must be hint of the future moves that RA will do during this arc.

Regardless, who are going to be there doesn’t matter. But if the RA catch the words that the Gorosei is at egghead and also stayed at the island with Kizaru while the Buster Call starts , well dragon appear to assist the RA & took Straw Hats under their care temporarily might be it. Probably escorted them to Elbaf.

How about Straw Hat Grand Fleet? Well yes it’s possible too! At this point, im sure the news about the Straw Hats vs Navy has been reported by Big News Morgan and the fleet took notice about it. Here’s the thing about Straw Hat Grand Fleet, what has been reported that seven powerful pirate groups under Straw Hats but no names mention on which pirates. So it’s interesting to see what happened soon!

re: the bonney thing in chapter 1118 [spoiler], most of the outrage i saw was from powerscaling shonen-brained bro weirdos so i don’t rly care (though it did piss me off lol). plus most of their complaints became redundant after this week’s chapter anyway.

but come on. i wasn’t necessarily expecting the exact thing that happened but i wasn’t *that* surprised either like. the whole egghead arc has been about kuma and bonney’s stories and character development as main characters aside from the strawhats. the whole arc is about developing the idea of nika, of this fictional deity, of devotion and of belief in freedom, joy, the sun. kuma lived his life that way, and also gave his life for his daughter to be able to live free, in the sun (quite literally). to be able to be the kid she deserves to be. to never go through what he and her mother did. he passed on nika’s story to her for that reason.

anyways. people can have their thoughts and feelings about it and that’s fine ofc!! (weird sexist cynical bro takes aside). one criticism i’ve seen is wanting more character development from bonney and i don’t disagree, i would love that too, but i also wonder if it’s not also because she’s literally. a kid. like, she’s not going to have law levels of complexity because she hasn’t lived as long and isn’t quite going to have the same kind of thoughts, processing etc!! and so maybe her arc in egghead feels a little less full than some other characters in other arcs. although, i do agree that it could have been more like momo’s in wano. for me that’s just a function of a) wano arc being longgggg while egghead seems like it’s meant to be a lot shorter and b) their very different roles and functions, with momo having to take on the role of a leader and needing to grow into it through the arc and his family history, vs. bonney’s role being more to become free by reconnecting to her childlike imagination, wonder, and joy.

of course she’s an adultified child (literally) and knows how to behave like an adult, sort of, but she’s not an adult. and so i think that’s maybe where there’s still so much to come from her character, but personally i think it’s in the sense of her being actually able to be a kid. like still being incredibly powerful (she can use haki!!!) and smart and fighting, but also not being alone, and having people who care for her and look after her too. being able to present as her actual age. discovering who she is and growing up at a normal pace. not having to fend completely for herself anymore. i’m curious to see where she goes/who she ends up with after egghead — feels like she needs people strong enough to take care of her and also people who believe in liberation and that nika way of being. maybe the giants, or the RA would make sense.
