My quick first thoughts about chapter 1113

Stalemated by the coffee being too hot, brutal Oda, just brutal 🫣

Yeah, that's certainly why the chapter is titled that ☕

Love this gag about Franky's wanted poster continuing to pop up.

Huge Bird cranky that he must play hide and seek to find the real source of the broadcast. He's a grumpy old man who hates games and hates fun haha.

Ah, so the snail was a diversion, curious who set it up and when. And if they wanted to fool anyone in particular.

Bonus York being an extra cute scrunkly this chapter. Almost makes me forget there is Stussy or Robonosuke this chapter.

Seeing so many differing reactions to Vegapunk around the world is really fun, and it's always nice to see familiar friendly faces. Mars walking into the empty room continues to remind me of Shaka walking into the basement, which did soon lead into the first major segment of this arc to shift the focus elsewhere.

Iceburg looks so cool in hindsight, and so does Tom, having created the sea train and sea tracks to make it easier for people to travel/stay connected.

Nami Protect Mode is very good, as is Nami Sass Mode from yesterday's episode. Great week for Nami all around.

Robonosuke's absence this chapter is very curious yeah. Luffy, Zoro and Jinbei all being absent is interesting too. If I remember, they were all in different groups during the night in the lab.

If Vegapunk figured out that Luffy has the ability to awaken Robonosuke, that may tie back to why he was so hasty in warping down to the scrap heap and getting stuck in the thing, in an attempt to stop Luffy from waking it up.

Looking forward to things getting weirder from here on out.

And We're Live!

Bruh a Miss Kaya update? Sweet! As we've said with Academy, this blog fully stans certified good girl Miss Kaya. I love her outfit here, she was really one of this series's first more classy, modest girlies and say what you will about how Oda draws women but I'm noticing she's not one of the ones who got a Timeskip breast augmentation. Usopp's former crew look like they're growing up fast too. This is a good group, still hope we get more Kaya in Academy because I really like her as the sickly girl who doesn't make it to school all the time. Clever use of a character on Sohei Koji's part.

We can talk about Academy over Golden Week though, because Vegapunk's message is going live! Which means sadly we're done with the fun of dicking around for ten minutes. The Vega Coffee bit was so, so good though. We'll get to the ramifications as we go but first there is a reason for Miss Kaya. Take note of all these people we see, how places like Torino highlight that darker side. VP will even own up to some of his own "sins" in his message. It's a very diffuse reaction to the man. Someone who inspires a lot of different reactions. It's important to pay attention when a story does that, but let's move on:

Hahaha lol eat a dick Mars. Classic decoy maneuver. We did get the brain in a jar! In a chapter where Vegapunk "confirms" his own death and an arc where we've played this game with Kuma. Remember Mars doesn't actually know the deal, he himself is pondering a little over what counts as the real Vegapunk. So I'm inclined to ponder if it is just what we see; part of his brain serving as more or less a hard drive. As much the real him as that paw bubble of memories was the real Kuma. Shout-out to Bonney and her Giant-ish future by the way. It was cool, but pretty much reinforces the same themes. You're acting like Luffy and the crew has fully shifted to treating you (appropriately) as a little kid to watch out for.

The decoy snail though...I like it. Could it have been a long game by Vegapunk? Of course, and keeping York out of the loop is believable. But being on the floor randomly is still weird and putting it right in front of the big brain tank seems rather risky for Vegapunk. Why would he want to nudge at that connection. Get what I'm saying? This is a weirder beat than it seems, but it would make perfect sense through the lens of someone else reacting. Great way to cover one's tracks by just letting the natural assumption take course. There's one part of Vegapunk's speech that bolsters this to me:

Please do not assume that the ones who strike me down are evil. That plus what he says here? Do...not track with thinking the Gorosei would be the ones who came after him. Sounds a little more like he expected Luffy, Bonney, someone like that to take him out. Or even Lucci. It's subtle, but actually a great remind that this all has nothing to do with the Straw Hats. Remember that old theme? The extra effort from the World Government is because of an emperor drifting into the situation. You can't act so casually when the world rocks in your wake. That still seems to be the core lesson for Luffy.

Speaking of, we get another nudge at one of last night's big mysteries. How did Robin get in such rough shape? The scenes before we skip the night set it up okay, she was headed right into a confrontation with York. But it's still a lingering question. And speaking of "lingering," you have the Gorosei hammering that Bakura Town/Ryokugyu theme hard. Reminds me of someone who knows no one called Vermin. The message though, it's what we're all here for. Well, I'm here for Nami Protect Mode.

I have some thoughts about this. Not the reveal itself. Sorta what we saw with Lulusia at the start, the fallout I mean. Excellent through line with Wano and it's own history. Makes Iceberg look so cool in hindsight because he at least was a good enough leader to see it happening locally. Type of thing a shipwright-turned-politician would notice your typical noble wouldn't. Very classic looming threat, makes me think of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou which was our world after massive sea level rise.

Let me just say one thing. This is fucking hilarious from a certain perspective. Imagine you're chilling. Doing your thing. Every PC and Windows product in the world fires up. Bill Gates is streaming live. He takes ten minutes to dick around with coffee then promptly announces his death before telling everyone their own death is imminent because [government conspiracy]. The reaction is going to be wild. Makes me think of David Bowie's "Five Years." If you're a fan, see if you can find the live version from the Dinah Shore show. You won't regret it. That Man Who Fell to Earth look was iconic and you gotta love managing a 4th wall break in a rock opera.

We've talked about this with Robonosuke, who's hanging around in the background still. This is an even better detail someone who learned a lot from Toki would know. Even if it's indirect relevance, it's the exact type of knowledge a modern scholar would find as a big surprise but a friend of the lady from the Void Century could just casually know. Maybe not a fancy sea chart, but say to the degree of a rough map?

Just saying, type of thing there's scenes to support it. The map is right there with some of the first ones that really show Kiku acting like a nanny with Momonosuke. The Act plot with Olin had a lot of subtle bait the girl's a little distinct from the group we'd build on in Act 3. Aside from all that though, just this basic setup of the chapter? We start on a few vignettes around the world showing different reactions to Vegapunk. Then we set up everyone in dire straits as Luffy's run out of gas. Injected a little new mystery through Stussy/York. Now we end on a big reveal that doesn't affect the matter at hand as we pull away from the island?

It's easy to say at a lot of points but if there's a third cutaway...we may be going into it after Golden Week.

With episode 1102, Nami joins the pufferfish club. And her arms are even crossed! Her sheer princess energy is at maximum readings.

Retroactively adding Pudding to the club too.

If Dorry & Brogy saw the Sniper King wanted poster in this Decks of the World cover, from chapter 633, it could be fun if they asked where he went, since we all know Sniper King ≠ Usopp.

one piece sketch dump. one piece has been my go to warm-up/cool-down type sketch lately. if i feel like im getting confused with color values in a bigger piece, ill go color sketches in black and white for a while. and if i'm feeling tight/unnatural with my line weights, ill sketch with a more traditional pencil brush for a while to loosen back up.

#one piece #nami #shirahoshi #victoria cindry #cindry #camie #these are fun!#the crew's friendship with shirahoshi and camie is so cute #cindry always hating plates love to see it
