You should read the Bible it's more interesting story with prophesy and connected plot lines, anyway, while you really should stop defending this manga. I doubt that Oda write this story, maybe he is dead already phahaha. Becase for me it is clear, someone who wrote the begining of egghead didn't know even how this arc will end.
Honestly guys, my opinion might have changed after more thought. I did a course in short story writing and honestly think Oda might be a crazy good writer:
- I like how Oda sets up the validity of the memory erasure. He has York say earlier that he's a terrible liar and actor, so astute readers will know if he didn't erase his memory he might let slip the plan.
Then in the flashback he shows an interaction where Vegapunk lies straight to her face and convinces her easily; this was good writing, because it is a reflection of York's life as a human toilet where she doesn't get much social interaction, and therefore didn't develop the skills to understand Vegapunk as well as she thinks.
- The broadcast had many subtilities. Vegapunk first says he'll predict the rise in sea levels to lend credibility to his claims.
Then, he contradicts himself by saying he already measured the earthquake and rise in sea levels. This is genius, because it shows that the regular populace is generally not that smart: a subtle reflection of the real world.
This is further qualified by people blindly assuming Vegapunk on his word that he's actually dead, and that he actually created the broadcast on the day that he did. People tend to become blind to propaganda when they live under an evil regime, which Vegapunk is of course a part of.
- Vegapunk designing the authority chip to have Bonney as its highest-level user just above the Gorosei is so good. Earlier we see Saturn say that since he is a scientist himself, Vegapunk knows better than to try to outsmart him. Yet, Saturn was completely unaware of this addition to the authority chip. This is genius level writing, because Saturn was simply too arrogant to see it. Classic tale of hubris leading to one's downfall.
A surface-level reader might think this design decision from Vegapunk is completely r*tarded (biased readers), but it's actually not. It's really good because Oda gave a REALLY SMALL HINT earlier that since Saturn is an expert scientist himself, he would notice something like Vegapunk putting himself higher on the authority list. What's that? "But he put Bonney in"? Simple human error, we make mistakes all the time. What, you think the Vegapunks - Pythagoras, Edison, Atlas, Shaka - are some kind of robots or something?
If you don't agree, honestly it's okay, you have a lot to learn still like I used to.
