Vegapunk's message isn't quite over yet! I was half convinced that it was over, but we might still have a few chapters left to go in this arc. Oda skipped over the Will of D stuff, but we might get one last reveal out of this message yet!
I kind of feel bad for Yamato on the cover page.
It's good to see Gaimon again after so long. And Katakuri, too!
Bonney does have Nika's toon powers. But, she lacks Luffy's stamina that he's built up over the years. So, that's fair, I think. Her Fruit isn't too broken, I guess.
Kaku and Stussy having a fight is a little sad. Though, I do find Kaku's actions a little odd, here. And we still don't know why CP9 rejoined the World Government after the cover story where they went AWOL. Something going on here.
Atlas is going back to find Usopp and the others. And maybe Zoro at the same time. Well, I'll miss Atlas because that's a death flag, right there. Can't have too many Vegapunk's running around, I guess.
Warcury was about to jump into the water to ram the ship so it wouldn't get away. So, either that was a last-minute desperation move where he was willing to sacrifice himself. Or the Gorosei really aren't weak to water like Devil Fruit users all are. I don't know, the Gorosei all seem to be hesitating around the water, at least. No one's jumped in, yet. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened to Warcury.
And it seems like we finally get the Ancient Robot's name. Emeth! Fitting, since it's a reference to the real world legend about the Golem. The Golem from legends had the Jewish word "emeth" or "truth" written on it's forehead to make it turn on. And it'd only stop if you erased a letter from it's forehead so it said "meth" or "dead. Kind of fitting to name the Robot in this story after one of the most famous "robots" in myth and legends.
And Luffy's reaction to Emeth rocketing out of the water has me wondering, has the gag about Giant Robots in this manga actually been some sort of plot point all along? You know, the one where all the men find them cool, and all the women don't really get it? Is Emeth going to turn out to be the origin of this gag, somehow, once we finally find out the robot's backstory? I don't know how, but...we'll see.
