Break Week What is the point of Egghead?

[GUI VI]

- Just reveal Vegapunk?
- Reveal the Seraphims?
- Just bring back Rob Lucci and Kaku?
- Just introduce Saturn?
- Reveal that Miss Bakin was WB's love?

- The reason for this question is what is the point of this arc? what does he add to the story? because if the next few chapters are basically Strawhats vs Seraphim and then it's over then this arc will suck.

- Kizaru and Saturno are the only characters that can bring something interesting and relevant to Egghead, because let's face it, the Seraphim are not interesting enough to be the main counterpoint of the arc besides providing some fights.

- The only One Piece chapters that are most exciting are the ones outside of Egghead and not the ones in Egghead.

Oda needs to start to show Kizaru and Saturn in Egghead.

 

[Konstantis]

Vegapank is the key to the story, he is like Vizard Oz

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

vegapunk was fine if it was only lilith or darf punk, stellah is ok, the rest is there cause we need more npcsfor some reason

many of the sutff that was hype in one piece happened in between arcs and egghead is getting some of those in between arcs inside of it

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

I mean Vegapunk's theory about devil fruits born from desire is pretty good lore.

- Reveal that Miss Bakin was BB's love?

Blackbeard?

We've been waiting 15 years for Vegapunk's explanation about DF and for 6 straight months after his reveal we got stupid clones gags, stupid clothes gags, meaningless fights with Lucci and Kaku like they had any chance at all..

 

[ShinichiMugi]

How can we say "just" reveal Vegapunk? We were waiting for him since at least 2009. We learned more about Seraphims,Ancient Reign and Devil Fruits,and we'll keep learning stuff. Meanwhile big things are happening outside Egghead.

- Vegapunk built up since Enies Lobby
- SSG built up since Punk Hazard
- Cloning built up since Wholecake Island
- Kuma's backstory built up since Marineford
- Bonney's backstory hinted at in post-war
- Actually explaining DF cloning
- Actually doing something with Lucci and Kaku after bringing them into CP0

Did you want them to set up plotlines and then not resolve them?

Same question I was asking about Yonko Saga. What is the point of this arc turned out to be what is the point of this saga. Oda loves to write pointless subplots that have absolutely nothing to do with the main story.

 

[BlackLegFring]

The fact that Vegapunk was researching poneglyphs indicates that we will likely get a reveal this arc. Besides resolving some past plotlines, it looks like it will reveal one more secret of the WG.

You mean the same poneglyphs that Robin was researching for the past 800 chapters and we didn't get any lick of information? So again what is the point of Egghead if Robin was supposed to be the vehicle of poneglyphs?

Robin is headed to where Vegapunk is right now. She could play a role in revealing info for the arc.

all those things you listed were largely underdeveloped.
Just a tool for fights.

Giving a little flashback to Bonney and Kuma isn't saying a lot, because what does it mean for the arc? Lucci and Kaku's participation was completely disappointing.

My point is: What does Egghead add to the One Piece narrative? What does this arc affect in future arcs? To say that one or another character appears or has a flashback is not to say anything.
