One Piece Chapter 1118 - Initial Thoughts

And we're back

It looks like it's time to leave Egghead, with Vegapunk's message cut off by the Gorosei's attack on the Iron Giant

Is there another twist in the tale left? We'll have to wait and see

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too!

After a handful of covers prepping, Yamato's finally setting off on his voyage, and he's already eating from the bento

Picking up from the attack on the Iron Giant, the attack sends it flying into the ocean

The marines not privy to the situation are just collateral

The last fragments of Vegapunk's message continues as the den den mushi gets waterlogged

'And their name was...'

The Iron Giant once more laments not finding Joy Boy

The Marines who witnessed the fall also spot Warcury's boar form, but believe it to be part of the island

The world watches and wonders how Vegapunk's message got cut off

They also start to wonder who could've killed Vegapunk

Koza stays quiet as speculation occurs

Alas, Morgans' earlier headline leads speculation to where we expected, with Luffy taking the fall

Vegapunk tells you a man made weapon caused the whole island of Lulusia to disappear and yet people still don't believe that the WG wouldn't silence someone for breaking a taboo

Laws which also wiped out Ohara, a whole nation of scholars, as well

The former Mr 9 and Miss Monday with their little kid in Whiskey Peak also don't seem convinced by this rhetoric

Only Leo is convinced and that's because Tontatta are gullible, Rebecca looks to set him straight

York is messaged by the Gorosei, asking how many more Vegapunks remain

York confirms Atlas and Lilith, nothing about Edison though, he mustn't have been using Punk Records

The Gorosei now intend to wipe out the other two, believing that York will get the full capability of Punk Records' genius with just York

The Giants and Luffy make it onto the longboat, with Luffy happy to be on there and greet the other giants

Luffy also asks about Usopp and Chopper, since they would've loved to be on the longboat too

Doll and Bluegrass got de-aged by Bonney, which limited their threat level, the little weaponized sea beast got kiddified too

Reminds me of the Toys R Us giraffe now XD

As Luffy greets Oimo and a recovering Kashii, and Bonney makes fun of the vice admirals, Sanji checks on the Sunny

Nami notes that they need help landing, to which Sanji claims he will rescue the ladies - Usopp chiming in to note to save all of them

Franky also chimes in to look after the ship, not the rest of the crew XD

Marcus Mars however has swooped down from above, intent on killing Atlas and all those who stand in his way

Luffy's straight into the kitchen, with the giants knowing him well enough to already have food prepared

Mars has fire breath, but it's blocked by Oimo and Kashii

The fire however has spread to the ship, which means they can't quite escape without putting out the fires and dealing with Mars and the Navy

Bonney and Atlas look to move the Stella body and Kuma away from the action, so Atlas will not be getting too violent at this point

The Giant captains lament that the monsters will chase them given that they can fly, with Mars stating his intent to leave no survivors

Franky notices something though, given the sound effect and what happens next, it's likely Nika back for another round

Luffy can also make the sea rubbery! Which the navy mistake for an earthquake and the rising of sea levels

Luffy still doesn't know why Bonney keeps calling him Nika

Dorry and Brogy are also dancing...but the ship's still on fire

Luffy invites Bonney to fight with him, but Bonney doesn't think she can

By his encouragement though, Bonney remembers how Luffy described Gear Fifth when she asked about his wanted poster

And with a Distorted Future where she is most free, there are now TWO SUN GODS

Kuma, thinking back to his promise to Ginny, bears witness to two different versions of Nika

Mars is most likely panicked now, the consequences of your actions are ready to punch you in the face

Ju Peter and Warcury sense the presence of another Nika, unnerved and deciding to hurry

And in the sea, the Iron Giant once again stirs, having found where Joy Boy is

That chapter absolutely flew by for me!

Bonney's fruit pays dividends because now she can believe in a future where she can be Nika, where she can be free, as opposed to when she couldn't do that against Saturn.

There's still death flags hovering over Atlas and Lilith though, it's likely that Saturn and V. Nusjuro will attempt to attack the Sunny while the rest take on the Longboat, the landing is still a question mark.

I wonder if Edison died, or if he's just being a lil' sneaky sneak, maybe someone able to catch York out. CP0 could do that too, since she did order the Seraphim to silence them.

As expected though, Luffy is likely to get issued the blame for Vegapunk's death, and all the other shit going on in Egghead (well, the shit he's not responsible for). Overall this still feels more like a WG win more than an incident, but stuff still looks like it can turn around or at the least break even. The Vegapunk transmission is likely done, or will have a big chunk missing after the Den Den Mushi dries out, but the Iron Giant is likely not.

Carrot is autistic, yo

I've seen discourse around The Fifth Elephant in which people say that they think less of Carrot after that book as he is clearly a manipulative and selfish person.

I see that as such a weird take. He made decisions that were based on assumptions that other things would happen. But if my partner, someone who I love dearly and couldn't imagine life without, suddenly disappeared out of nowhere with no warning then I would damn well do everything I could to find her. Even if it meant employing someone with a steak a day.

People were also saying he completely abandoned our favourite pup. Again I don't see it that way. If I was reunited with my aforementioned love, helped my boss whom I trust and consider a friend not die, get accepted by the same type of people which sent me away, and knew I'd be returning to a job which was going to be a complete mess, things would slip my mind.

Lastly people saying people quit The Watch and had every right to and shouldn't be asked to return again make no sense to me. Moreover asking them to return is subverting their autonomy. Nah man, he is cleaning up his mistakes by giving orders to someone who only knows what to do when orders are given, and sending those that made people leave to go and make amends for it.

Maybe it's just because I'm autistic and Carrot's existence resonates so much with me, but I see nothing but someone who's relationship has progressed deeper than anything before and now realises their previous outlook no longer applies

I've just had a really dumb idea

So, I was watching HalfBreadChaos' video on "What is in the Closet Dark World", and when I saw Spamton Neo, I got hit with a realization.

The Mettaton NEO shell that Spamton wears looks a lot like it's made of paper. Specifically, it reminds me of the little dresses drawn on and cut from paper that we used to make for paper dolls in elementary school. (Niche reference, I know, but they're pretty self-explanatory- basically just mannequins made/folded from paper. In my classes in particular, we made versions that were folded paper cups or frogs. It was weird, and also cute.)

HalfBreadChaos, in that video, suggested that the plan for the Mettaton NEO body- which most of us have accepted to have been created by the ghost who became Mettaton in Undertale, Napstablook's cousin (The one we jokingly(?) call Hapstablook)- may have been something drawn on paper, as opposed to a deleted/forgotten file from a paint program, or something along those lines, which many of us thought in the past.

Well. If it WAS something tangible, as opposed to a file from a paint program... it would probably be a drawing on paper. And as HalfBreadChaos suggests in their video, if the basement of the castle is the space between the cabinet and the floor, this drawing, or plan, may have been slipped under the cabinet.

Why is that important?

The only other papers in that room (Aside from the books that Berdly and Noelle brought with them) are the printed-out emails in the trash, which are almost certainly spam emails. And that trash can is the trash zone, where Spamton makes his home. He does sleep in a dumpster- and hides in the dumpster to give us the Thorn Ring for Noelle. So, perhaps the reason he prizes the Mettaton NEO body so much is because, in the Light World, it's the only paper in the room that isn't in the trash- still discarded in a way, possibly even forgotten, but not thrown away; not labeled as valueless.

Does this mean anything? Probably not. But it's a thought I had and I wanted to share it.

Adric ⭐️

I don’t know why but for some reason whenever I think of Adric I always feel like I need to yell his name like he is a cat about to fall off the cat tree if I don’t yell out. Also just the need to hug him tight so nothing bad happen to him

I really wanted to make him as just his little bows

[ID: picture is a felt doll that is the shape of a gingerbread man with a big circular head, they are supposed to be Adric. He has his shaggy short brown hair, like tan pants and a long sleeve shirt. This yellow shirt with the tes with the orange under shirt and pocket that has his star, and a rope around his waist. And he has green shoes.:ID]

always rewatching russian doll almost like i too am in a time loop

[robinyourcreator]

it is perhaps not a Good writing practice that im doing right now, and definitely not a Sustainable one

but i am quite enjoying the process I have right now-- of teasing out a hundred words here and there, and really making sure I like them before moving on, because I'm still learning the voices and quirks I'm giving voice to, still teasing out the direction everything wants to go

it is perhaps no way to Grow As A Writer(TM), but it's been so very enjoyable to grow this dynamic, little by little piecing the puzzle together

I cut my hand a little bit every day, squeeze out a little blood over the seeds I've planted, and see what comes out after I've slept on the previous days work for a bit

and anyways the firehose approach to writing makes me hate myself and want to burn everything I've ever made to the ground lmfao

[ID: A monochrome drawing of Draculaura from Monster High. She's drawn bust up and in her Skulltimate Secrets outfit. She's slightly facing the left with her gaze to the viewer, her mouth open as if she's speaking. In her right hand is a boba drink tilted towards her while her left hand is raised upwards, palm up. She's in front of a black background with cross hatchings that make it look like she's glowing. There are various sparkles and glitters around her. The drawing is drawn in a style reminiscent of manga. ./. End ID]

Skulltimate Secrets Draculara is really pretty. I'm thinking of saving up for her before she releases 😤
