Speaking of Vegapunk, Oda doesn't waste time during this final saga by finally delving into Vegapunk, who has been one of the longest built up names to go without a face reveal. Though this introduction of who is "supposedly Vegapunk" gives me deja vu of Yamato. Considering Vegapunk has been referred to as male, and even an old man in the past, for them to show up resembling a young girl tells me there's some catch. Either this is some invention pretending to be Vegapunk for security reasons, or it's Vegapunk experimenting with mind swaps, or whatever. The possibilities are endless with him.
Captain Glasses finally returns! And she is still looking after the Punk Hazard children. I love that she's still staying true to her words to Nami of looking after them. Doubly so, she is also worried about Coby just like his partner Helmeppo. This piece was just a request, but now I like to think Tashigi did help to instruct the two during the two year timeskip. Captain Glasses and Coby share idealistic views on Justice, and they represent a brighter future for the military.
