So it was the giants as predicted. Don’t really like the Nika worship, but we’re stuck with it till the end it seems. They may catch the falling Sunny or maybe Luffy himself will do it.

Bonney has finally connected the dots (though it shouldn’t have been hard when there’s only 1 notorious rubber boy around).
She’ll be able to use the “Nika-like future” on herself or Kuma now.

The ancient robot is about to join the fray shortly too, likely targeting Saturn.

Looks like it’s all playing out as predicted. I still believe it’ll probably be inconclusive between Kizaru & Luffy while the latter escapes. Kizaru may have to intervene when the robot shows up.
The Strawhats escaping with the giants likely means the Mother Flame factory, Seraphim & York will no longer be destroyed as well.

Just hope that Oda can keep a good pace.
 

CoC: Color of Clowns

You can do it! And you will!!!
Honestly I dont think the crew is splitting up ever again. I just think Brook's group will, within a chapter or two:

- Nami/Robin/Chopper/Usopp/Edison/ Stussy's group all boarding the sunny first.
- Edison can turn the barrier on an off whenever he wants, so its likely thats the solution there
- End Zoro vs Lucci, with Jinbe getting Zoro (and Lucci if he's not indisposed), then have them board the ship last second
- ship comes crashing down to fabriophase.

Que whatever fights ensue when the crew gets down to the main island.
All of that sounds reasonable.

I'm starting to think some Giants might catch the ship. The Sunny is sturdy, it will survive a crash landing, though... hopefully.
 
I'm curious how seeing Nika will affect Bonney. Saturn seemed relieved that Bonney hadn't previously noticed the connection, so she might be able to unlock some deeper power through this revelation. Seems like we'll be getting something like Luffy & Iron Giant & Bonney vs Kizaru & Saturn.
I'm still of the opinion that Saturn is significantly stronger than Kizaru, and is going to need Luffy to collaborate with other characters to have a shot at taking it down

Also just realized this, but what if the goal of the Blackbeard Pirates shifts to capturing Bonney. Really awful thought, but it'd make sense since it'd give them control over the Pacifistas.
Additionally, how does S-Bear work in relation to Bonney? Does he have Kuma's original memories and personality, or is he an obedient husk? Would Bonney's orders also work on him?

What even was Blackbeard's plan for all of this? You think Laffitte and Devon are just sitting back, watching shit go down, and chuffin a fat dart?

Drop this shit my man.

Unfortunately, I think I actually broke Pringles. He wasn’t this bad at the start and was a bit more chill and only made a snide comment now and then.

When I actually called him out for some crap he said (I don’t even remember now), he went full hater & troll mode. Now he just has unbridled hatred for the Admirals and gone full Kerkovian with the cringe “Godfy” stuff.

Maybe I should have left him alone…

The breakdown of Luffy vs Saturn is hitting the admiral haters hard because now they’re realizing they either need to downplay Luffy to maintain Yonko agenda or hype admirals to maintain Luffy agenda.

So for you, Luf-fy went back to Gear 5 so the Straw Hats can escape, Bonney uses Nika-ish future but Luffy will not have any conclusive fight? He will not defeat Saturn?

Use your brain and then you come back discuss One Piece, alright?

You are irrelevant and another brainless agenda pusher.

I don't need to entertain your circus.
 
Oh yes, Bonney having highest command of the Pacifista is untenable.
I expect that Saturn or York will remove Vegapunk’s tampering so it goes back to normal after this.

It’s terrible that Vegapunk not only got sabotaging the self-destruct chip done under Saturn’s nose but also the command chips as well.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree. I don't think Nika is great or anything, but I've grown to accept its place in the story more than when it was just introduced.
Still, Oda should have and could have laid some obvious seeds for it at least back on Fishman Island
I don’t ever see myself growing to accept Nika. Simply one of the worst decisions Oda made for the story.
Everything was close to perfect beforehand, so it just leaves a bitter taste anytime Nika is mentioned.

Just because we have to live with it doesn’t mean that we have to accept it. What’s worse is the revisionist history that some try to do to pretend the story was always that way.

He did going back all the way to Skypeia, for the "sun god" anyway. I really like Nika personally. But 1044 was undeniably out of complete nowhere. It's probably that he just didn't come up with Gear 5th till late in the game, probably halfway through Wano. Whenever that comment about him not knowing how Luffy would beat Kaido was, it was at least not before then.

If he had seeded the sun god stuff all through wano and put some hints about Luffy's devil fruit a bit earlier, it'd have been smooth enough.
The Skypiea “Sun god” nonsense is still weak because they were trying to sacrifice a young girl to him. Clearly has nothing to do with Nika as presented…and that’s besides the Rain, Earth & Forest gods mentioned too.

Exactly! Oda enjoys drawing gear 5 and I enjoy it as well. It perfectly encapsulates Luffy’s journey.
No it doesn’t. One cannot look at Luffy’s history, or even just the first main conflict with Crocodile and claim that Nika is anything like that. It’s actually closer to the opposite if anything.

Lmao! You know I don’t entertain your nonsense Pringles. It’s another month and you still haven’t replied with a single thing that Saturn has done to make him stronger than Kizaru.

You should take a moment and ask yourself why all your predictions turn out incorrect while I’ve been mostly correct from start till now.
- It was Luffy that fought Kizaru
- Luffy needed his strongest form to even be competitive.
- Luffy couldn’t KO Kizaru in chapter 1093 like your editors note prophecy
- Kizaru got up before Luffy and didn’t even need any food to do so
- Luffy needed external help to even continue fighting Kizaru (I thought it would be the light touching gloves involved, so that’s my 1 failed prediction)
- Kuma arrived to save Bonney, not Luffy restarting his heart in seconds
- It was the Giants that showed up to save the Strawhats, not the Grand Fleet

Every step of the way you’ve failed, had to backtrack (ZKK no longer being a fact for you), tried to ignore things, etc.

The only agenda failing here is yours…and it would have been obvious if you took just mere minutes to use the brain God gave you instead of dallying with some of the worst trolls.

Even better question now. Everyone thought the Ancient Robot's sole use was as an escape method, except:

- The Giants are here filling that role
- The robot only awakens during Gear 5 at this point clearly, so while Luffy fights.

If there wasnt a clearer indication that its being used combatively, I dont know what else to say anymore lol
And considering the lore behind the ancient robot it's obvious who it is going to confront.
The buster call already isn't an issue anymore.
 
Good chapter! Favorite part was Bonney realizing that Luffy was Nika. I wonder if she ends up joining the crew now.

Bonney having the Pacifistas on her side now levels her up considerably.

So Luffy and the Giants stop the Buster Call and we get Luffy & Sanji vs Kizaru & Saturn?

Oda is cooking right now. Just give me an update on Law and Kidd please.

I don't subscribe to the revisionist histpry, as my interactions here prove.
But I decided not to sweat over it and just accept it. It isn't going away so might just enjoy goofy Luffy.
 
The fact that it's Luffy's show doesn't mean that everything has to be about Luffy. That's basic writing.
Of course and I never said the contrary.

Kizaru will have his importance and I'm happy Oda is depicting him with that much depth.

However thinking that Luffy will not defeat Saturn is a brainless take.

This is similar to the ones who were saying that Luffy would not defeat Kaido in Wano.
