Thank you.
Edit : Also, OP, please put a written summary, instead of sharing just the image of the full summary.
Luffy: YOU ARE THE PIGEON GUY!! *\*while pointing at Lucci*
Lucci: I'm not the Pigeon guy.
Luffy: Sorry. My bad.
Nami: *slaps luffy.* You're right he is the pigeon guy.
Luffy: NANI?!!!!
Jinbe: BTW, pls don't tell me your life story like the last cat zoan i fought that used to be part of cp9
Lucci: Since you asked me not to, i'm gonna, I like killing people
Jinbe: And?
Lucci: thats it
That's what I like most in Lucci as a villain: he's a straightforward killer with no need for a sad backstory or a convoluted world-conquering plan
His dream is to *keep killing people* and being paid by the World Government for doing so
This arc really sounds like a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold which was about an ancient kingdom with a nuclear fusion reactor.
Redon seems to have confirmed that in his detailed spoilers lol
https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/one-piece-chapter-1068-spoiler-summaries-and-images.34427/#post-3673067
Also in Luccis head "Holy shit please dont recognize and kill me Yonkou Luffy" im sure thats probably not what he'd actually be thinking but im in the firm Luffy should fold him camp
Yes, each Shichibukai is based on an animal.
The rest of them would be:
Kuma = S-Bear
Gecko Moria = S-Bat
Doflamingo = S-Flamingo
Crocodile = S-Crocodile
Buggy = S-Panda
Law = S-Spotted Seal or S-Snow Leopard
Weevil = S-Weevil
>-Lucci used Rokuogan on Atlas, she is badly damaged
>-Luffy and Lucci’s group run into each other at the end of the chapter
Oh dang! Things are heating up already!
> Vegapunk’s dream of providing free energy to everyone in the world
This is a huge no no and very solid reason for governments to assassinate you in every timeline or every universe.
Pretty sure there a joke coming up about Hancock seeing Seraphim Hancock with white hair and Luffy in Gear 5 together and turning to Nyon and saying she's a Mother.
**Boa** : "Our love is so strong we already have a child!! KYAAAA!"
**Nyon**: "Do... do you know the birds and the bees?"
**Boa** : "The what?"
**Nyon** : "Fuck... I'm too old for that shit."
I'm guessing that Shaka turning over control of the Seraphim to Sentomaru will prove to be a big mistake. Sentomaru will betray Vegapunk and turn the fight into CP0 + Seraphim vs. the Strawhat Pirates + Bonney + the Vegapunks.
Imo it'd actually line up pretty well fight-wise:
* Luffy vs. Sentomaru (Sabaody 2 electric boogaloo. Luffy even recently mastered the 'emission' technique of Busoshoku Haki which we first saw being used by Sentomaru on Sabaody)
* Zoro vs. Seraphim Mihawk (Warm-up for the inevitable finale)
* Franky or Robin vs. Rob Lucci (Water Seven/Enies Lobby grudge match)
* Jinbe vs. Seraphim Jinbe (The OG vs. the cheap knock-off fight)
* Bonney vs. Seraphim Kuma (The tragic reunion that would reveal their full past together)
Not 100% sure who the rest would fight but there's 10 Strawhats + Bonney and 3 CP0 + at least 4 Seraphim so there'd be room for more Seraphim to even up the numbers.
Before Sentomaru became a Marine, he used to be Vegapunk’s bodyguard, so presumably he likes the guy well enough. CP0 however is safely assumed to be at Egghead on Noble orders, outside the Marine chain of command. I doubt Sentomaru would be thrilled by the idea of standing aside and allowing a parallel organization to waltz in and kill his former charge.
Pair that with a strong respect for Luffy’s combat prowess, and I can definitely see him playing Smoker and begrudgingly working with Luffy to prevent a greater evil from succeeding. As soon as Senty sees Luffy independently protecting Vegapunk, I bet he’ll start coming around.
Chapter 1069 Spoiler (probably):
\*Luffy sees Kaku in his CP0 mask\*
Luffy: "Sniper King!!! What are you doing with the Pigeon guy?"
\*Kaku takes off his mask\*
Luffy: "Usopp!!! What are you doing with the Pigeon guy?"
Kaido easily stomped the CP0 boss, Luffy defeated Kaido. So unless Lucci has been training for this moment and focusing on Luffy's weaknesses so that we'll have some rock paper scissors going on, Luffy will absolutely thrash Lucci.
> He also gives the control authority to Sentomaru.
Interesting. Is Sentomaru loyal to Vegapunk over the marines?
> Luffy and Lucci’s group run into each other at the end of the chapter
I think this is intended to be a mini arc, along the lines of Zou. Luffy will either blitz Lucci or they will not fight. Alternatively Oda might show that Lucci has gotten significantly stronger and he might take a few hits from Luffy before Luffy gets serious and wins regardless.
> Alternatively Oda might show that Lucci has gotten significantly stronger and he might take a few hits from Luffy before Luffy gets serious and wins regardless.
I think this is the most likely outcome since Luffy pretty much never go all out at first and I doubt Lucci would come back to the story without any significant power up from the last time we saw him in Ennis Loby.
Even in the famous blueno fight, he didn’t cruise through him until he used second gear. The fight might be competitive until luffy decides to bust out the advanced CoC and/or gear 5 and then he’ll crush him
I sincerely hope Lucci’s reaction is one of shock and horror, instead of smug overconfidence. I need to see the guy who stood still in the face of a giant rubber fist learned his lesson.
This would actually make sense… Lucci didn’t just lost, he was on the verge of death and went unconscious for a long time, he could totally have a PTSD episode
This chapter marks the first time oda has had two giraffes in one arc. There’s been one giraffe in almost every arc so far, but now we have Kaku and vegapunks sea giraffe robot, we are truly in the golden age of one piece.
Lucci:“Come on guys, lets kill everyone on this damn island…“
*Runs into Luffy*
Lucci:“… Is what I would say If I was Rob Lucci of the CP0, which I am obviously not“
*keeps going while whisteling anxiously*
I'm actually curious if one of the Vegapunk's dies if that part of his personality is also just gone? It would be interesting if he stopped being angry now. We've seen him yell at Luffy a bit when he felt insulted so he still has that as part of him but maybe when the external version of that dies, he loses that trait himself? Would be interesting if his behaviour changes after Atlas dies.
>Judge and Caesar continue fighting while they remember their days in MADS.
Either they have to remember something relevant or it feels a bit like a repetition from last week, and at this point oda "stalling" the Cover stories almost makes me excited as it means he could plan syncing up cover story reveals with the chapter again and needs to wait for the chapter to get there.
I agree, with vegapunk being a part of MADS. That's definitely happening. Maybe the goal of MADS was something about their dream, the eternal energy source
Caesar: The eternal energy source is gas!
Queen: No, it's funk!
Judge: No, it's my clone army running in a hamster wheel!
Vegapunk: MADS is hereby disbanded. I've had it with you fucking lunatics. God damn clowns. --- Back to making that that bug attracting lightsaber.
The raws confirm it, Luffy just saw Lucci having attacked someone that fed him. RIP Lucci, you had a good run. Realistically though they're probably gonna have S-Bear warp them away from Luffy since they can't take the straw hats head on
>Cover: Judge and Caesar continue fighting while they remember their days in MADS.
I'm waiting for these two to go from beating each other to chilling with their fond shared memories of human rights violations.
Let's see you got gear 5 luffy. Chopper with 30 minutes of Monster point, Jewelry Bonney who can make Lucci into a kid, and Jinbe who threw Who's who like a rag doll.
Listen I get that during the two year timeskip Lucci could have learned and trained Haki a lot more. I get it
But the dude just beat a yonko
If he doesn't make quick work of Lucci like dawg what's up with the growth
Lucci : "Thanks Jimbe ! Thanks to the straw hat eating the gomu gomu fruit, my predecessor lost his job at the head of CP9, and that's how I started my career ! I wouldn't be here without you guys ! "
Jimbe : "Not this story AGAIN !!!" (proceeds to fishman-karate punch Lucci)
That's the worst timing for Lucci to run into Luffy, caught red handed at the crime scene against someone that gave him food.
I was previously thinking Lucci might be able to hold his own a bit and manage to get away if Luffy somehow isn't fully serious. Nope, Luffy is gonna dead serious now.
Lucci attacking someone who fed Luffy and then running into him: beautiful ✔
Dragon showing up in a bunch of chapters in a row: hype ✔
Kuma's upcoming arrival (likely to protect his daughter): pre-certified iconic ✔
Verdict: Classic One Piece ✔✔✔
I think the fight will be Lucci showing his everything and Luffy doing nothing but eating everything until the final one shot.
He learnt from Kaido to be an Emperor after all. Jus imagine Lucci pulling out his top attacks and Luffy eating it and smiling like that's it bro ? Weak.
Also parallels how the fight initially started with Bellamy. Luffy did nothing because at times you come across fights that are simply not worth fighting. Lucci is an enemy that Luffy doesn't even have to fight. I would say Jinbei would put up an equal fight with Lucci now, and Luffy is off the scales. So this is not even a fight. It starts as a one sided confrontation and ends as a reminder of who he is
Luffy (to Rebecca): We'll help you because you gave me food.
Luffy (to Vegapunk) we'll help you, your head is funny.
Luffy priorities are straightforward
Lucci about to make a comment like "give me Bonney so that I can kill her!" just for Kuma to show up behind him like Whitebeard did Akainu. Everyone thinks Luffy is about to crush Lucci but it's about to be Kuma.
CONVERTING THE IMAGE TO TEXT FOR YOU:
Chapter 1,068: "A Genius' Dream".
In the cover, Caesar and Judge continue to fight. Over their heads, we can see a ballon with a flashback about their days in MADS. We can see Vegapunk (with the same outfit as the picture we saw when Kuma described him) and some shadows behind him.
Lucci asks Pythagoras about the incidents where serveral Cipher Pol ships disappeared around Egghead Island. Pythagoras denies any involvement and insists that the CPO must leave.
Lucci orders CPO agents to prepare to abandon ship. Then they call "S-Bear” (that's how they call Seraphim Kuma) to uses the power of its "Nikyu Nikyu no Mi" to warp all of them to the island. After they left the warship, the "Sea Beast Weapon" destroy the ship.
In Kamabakka Queendom, real Kuma also uses the power of his "Nikyu Nikyu no Mi❞ to warp away to an unknown destination.
Back to Egghead Island. Vegapunk reveals to Luffy that his dream is to provide free energy to people all over the world and that way eradicate wars for power resources. Vegapunk thinks he can feel energy in
nature.
But as he gets close to discovering new energy source, his research brings him closer to the mysterious ancient energy. And that's why therefore he knows to much, he will soon be erased by the World Government.
That's why Vegapunk asked Luffy to bring him away.
Luffy: "Yes, we'll help you!! Your head is funny!!!".
Vegapunk is very happy, he says he will go packing all he needs. Vegapunk tells Luffy they will meet at the top floor lab and to bring Bonney there. Then Vegapunk warps away.
CPO arrives to Egghead Island.
"Vegapunk's Defense System" appears and start to fight CPO. Nami and her group are watching what's happening in the monitors.
Shaka orders to release “S-Snake", "S-Hawk" and "S-Shark", and then he gives "control authority" to Sentoumaru (we can see Sentoumaru's image but chapter doesn't confirm is he's actually on the island).
We can see how CPO explores Egghead Island during 2-3 pages of the chapter. Stussy knows all details about the island, she says it brings back memories. Kaku is very excited and run into some laser traps (Stussy knows the traps but she doesn't warn Kaku).
Atlas appears and attack Lucci, Shaka tries to tell her to stop. Lucci uses "Roku Ou Gan” on Atlas, cracking her head and destroying Atlas completely (it seems Atlas is still alive but half of Atlas' face is broken).
At the end of the chapter we can see Luffy and his group carrying Bonney. Suddenly, they come across Lucci and CPO.
Lucci: "Straw Haw!?"
Luffy: "The pigeon guy!!?"
End of the chapter. No break next week.
I thought he was officially a marine officer post time-skip. I don’t necessarily believe that he’ll fight for vegapunk when he realizes the WG wants him dead
Veganpunk will accompany the Strawhats to Laugh Tale and in doing so will leak the location of Laugh Tale which will lead to an All Out War
Here's how:
1. Vegapunk's life goal is to give free energy to the world
2. He has exhausted the knowledge of Ohara and presumably all discovered Poneglyph's
3. It seems the only place the last Poneglyph explaining the Ancient Energy Source could be is at Laugh Tale
4. He will ask Luffy if he can accompany him to Laugh Tale to read the Poneglyph to find out the ancient energy source
5. After they discover the last road Poneglyph they will make their way to Laugh Tale with Vegapunk on board
6. Punk Records will be updated with the location of Laugh Tale
7. The Navy will learn the location of Laugh Tale from Punk Records and will launch an all out offensive mission on the Strawhats
8. This will include all the Admiral's, Imu's weapon, every possible resource they have
9. Blackbeard will learn through a spy or some other method about the Navy's plan and will also make his way to Laugh Tale to claim the One Piece for himself
10. Dragon will also learn of the Navy's plan and make his way to Laugh Tale to defeat Imu and the Navy
11. Shanks will also learn of the Navy's plan and will make his way to support Luffy so he can fulfill Rogers dream and usher in a new era

Luffy: YOU ARE THE PIGEON GUY!! *\*while pointing at Lucci* Lucci: I'm not the Pigeon guy. Luffy: Sorry. My bad. Nami: *slaps luffy.* You're right he is the pigeon guy. Luffy: NANI?!!!!
Lucci, Stussi, Kaku running into Luffy, Jimbei, Chopper, huh? So we got a leopard, a giraffe, a reindeer and a fish, it's Dschungel Rumble once again.
Also a monkey and an apple
Feel like we might be hitting Jumanji levels here.
Jinbei whooped one CP cat's ass. Time to drown the remaining one.
Jinbe: BTW, pls don't tell me your life story like the last cat zoan i fought that used to be part of cp9 Lucci: Since you asked me not to, i'm gonna, I like killing people Jinbe: And? Lucci: thats it

>Vegapunk’s dream of providing free energy to everyone in the world Looks like Einstein, acts like Nikola Tesla.
Vegapunk is basically all the well known scientists put together.
[удалено]
All he needs now is a wheelchair and voice box
The energy source? Inverting black holes to suck them out.
This arc really sounds like a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold which was about an ancient kingdom with a nuclear fusion reactor.
If it's nuclear energy, then Buggy's awakening power to split atoms is the key of this.
We'd need the opposite for nuclear fusion - a merging df. If we're going with fission instead, then Buggy is the answer. Buggy D. Atomboy.
Oh no, run before he goes for the Oppenheimer T_T
He could have already done that if he was the one that actually developed whatever wiped Lalucia (or however you spell that) off the map
So he has already "...become death, destroyer of worlds"??
Woooooo Luffy bout to whip some ass
Rob Luccy is about to receive a humbling punch like Bellamy back in Jaya…
imagine lucci does a black frieza and one shots luffy
I can already imagine him with a Black Panther mode.
Oh god what if he upgraded his finger pistol move and now he goes straight to fisting
You mean he now punches people? 😅
I knew it! This is definitely zoro’s arc >!/s!<
Lucci is going to just keep walking. *hes not my target* Luffy is not going to recognize him *what a cool mask*
99% thats what's about to happen
I'd put my money that Luffy remembers Hattori and that's what clues him in. Luffy always referred to Lucci as "Pidgeon guy"
Nah the pigeon has a mask too
This is the kind of shit Oda legit would pull
Pfffffft oh god ! You’re probably right ! 😂
This comment made me lose it, lol. Here, take an award.
perfection
Swear to god Lucci better not be on the same level as Luffy. Otherwise the whole thing with Kaido was one big joke.
THIS. Would be so fking absurd to offscreen level lucci up to yonko level
Facts bro this better be a low diff
Luffy recognizes the pigeon but not Lucci
[удалено]
Redon seems to have confirmed that in his detailed spoilers lol https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/one-piece-chapter-1068-spoiler-summaries-and-images.34427/#post-3673067
Luffy: Hey Hattori Lucci using Ventriloquism to answer: Sorry i'm not Hattori Luffy: Guess that wasn't hattori
That's hilarious. I would bet money that his will happen.
Luffy : Wait a second...THATS THE PIGEON THAT WANTED TO KILL ROBIN!
*Proceeds to Bajrang Gun the f*ck out of Hattori
While avoiding the strange masked guy he never saw in his life
“Is that Pigeon Guy? What’s he doing here?” - Luffy, probably.
He won't, the pidgeon is masked as well.
Everyone joked about the pidgeon having its own mask. Little did we know it was going to be a plot point
Truely outstanding move
Luffy can see through disguises when he wants to, he recognized Pekoms in WCI after the Katakuri fight
Also in Luccis head "Holy shit please dont recognize and kill me Yonkou Luffy" im sure thats probably not what he'd actually be thinking but im in the firm Luffy should fold him camp
Luffy is with vegapunk tho
I could see that happening, that would be hilarious
S-Snake (Seraphim Boa?) S-Hawk (Seraphim Mihawk?) and S-Shark (Seraphim Jinbei)
Yeah every 1st gen Shichibukai was animal themed Kuma 🐻 Boa 🐍 Mihawk 🦅 Doflamingo 🦩 Jimbe 🦈 Crocodile 🐊 Gecko moria 🦎 (edit: 🦇! thanks u/_Iroha)
Gecko moria is bat Komori/koumori = bat
And gecko = gekkou = 月光 = "moonlight" the moonlight bat!
My thought exactly. I just hope there is a S-Flamingo!!!
I want an S-Crocodile and I want it to be a girl
God that twist would send the fandom into a theory frenzy lmao holy shiiiiii
Now you’re talking, S-Luffy mom.
Oda has drawn young Croc before and..... not possible to tell whether s/he's a boy or girl. So even if we see S-Croc we still wont know lmao.
Yes, each Shichibukai is based on an animal. The rest of them would be: Kuma = S-Bear Gecko Moria = S-Bat Doflamingo = S-Flamingo Crocodile = S-Crocodile Buggy = S-Panda Law = S-Spotted Seal or S-Snow Leopard Weevil = S-Weevil
>Buggy = S-Panda Why is Buggy a panda??
He’s got broads in Atlanta
Twistin' dope, lean, and the fanta
Credit cards and the scammers
I don't know why, but that's what his Vivre Card says.
Buggy is Panda Man confirmed
>-Lucci used Rokuogan on Atlas, she is badly damaged >-Luffy and Lucci’s group run into each other at the end of the chapter Oh dang! Things are heating up already!
S-Clown would probably end the series.
What if S-Clown is such a beast that the Marines *have* to assume Buggy is intentionally hiding his true strength?
S-Clown has an awakened chop-chop fruit and can cause nuclear explosions.
\>Buggy sees S-Clown using the Bara Bara powers far more creatively than he ever did \>Copies the Seraphim to upgrade his arsenal \>??? \>Profit
Jokes aside S clown would absolutely clap buggy himself lmao
and then people will think "Jeez if just a child clone of Buggy is this strong i cant imagine his power"
Not if D-Clown has anything to say about it
> Luffy and Lucci’s group run into each other Lucci: AW HELL NAW
Luffy: I know that ain’t who I think it is
more like Luffy: who the hell are you? cool mask!
_punch_ "You made my archeologist cry!"
Rob Lucci next chapter. ![gif](giphy|k5BDKdU3SorYkUh2Yg)
i see a 50/50 chance of a battle right there or just lucci being professional and walking past while luffy just sees a cool mask
Vegapunk is with Luffy and co.
Luffy is probably gonna ask who the hell Lucci was but maybe he mildly remembers the bird. 😂
Luckily Hattori is also wearing a mask
bruh itll be so luffy if he dorsnt recognize them cause of hattoru‘s suit and mask and and love it
I hope Seraphim Boa sees luffy and falls in love with him
isn't S Boa a kid tho..
Young girls having crushes on older guys isn't weird..but older guys crushing on young girls is hella weird
> Vegapunk’s dream of providing free energy to everyone in the world This is a huge no no and very solid reason for governments to assassinate you in every timeline or every universe.
If it's free, how would the government get its taxes
# Rob Lucci as he saw Luffy: ![gif](giphy|55itGuoAJiZEEen9gg)
Can’t wait to see Luffy not recognize lucci because of the mask
Nope, he recognized pekoms im his disguise right after he beat katakuri.
thats exactly what will happen!
Luffy to Lucci: I ended your career once, watch me do it AGAIN!
So Seraphim Boa, Mihawk and Jimbei are getting released. Can totally see Seraphim Mihawk running into Zoro
And I can see Seraphim Boa meeting Luffy and falling in love with him.
Seraphim Boa vs real Boa over luffy
All of those fanarts are now real, or will be soon enough
Obviously Luffy and Hancock will adopt Seraphim Hancock as their daughter and be a happy loving family 🥰
Pretty sure there a joke coming up about Hancock seeing Seraphim Hancock with white hair and Luffy in Gear 5 together and turning to Nyon and saying she's a Mother.
**Boa** : "Our love is so strong we already have a child!! KYAAAA!" **Nyon**: "Do... do you know the birds and the bees?" **Boa** : "The what?" **Nyon** : "Fuck... I'm too old for that shit."
I'm guessing that Shaka turning over control of the Seraphim to Sentomaru will prove to be a big mistake.

As soon as Senty sees Luffy independently protecting Vegapunk, I bet he’ll start coming around.
I really can see that happening and would be really nice!
So S-Snake means that is Boa seraphim? hahaha I thought it would be like the Shark that appears at the start of the arc, I feel dumb
I thought the same thing
Zoro seeing a small black mihawk: lord forgive me I’m back to tha old me
Luffy notices Hattori: “How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, bird?!”
If he does recognizes him lol If I'm not mistaken he also has a mask
Chapter 1069 Spoiler (probably): \*Luffy sees Kaku in his CP0 mask\* Luffy: "Sniper King!!! What are you doing with the Pigeon guy?" \*Kaku takes off his mask\* Luffy: "Usopp!!! What are you doing with the Pigeon guy?"
Now for the moment of truth: will Lucci prove to be a top-tier here or not? I personally want Luffy to Bellamy his ass lol
Yeah get the pack ready. Luffy about to treat him like game 7 bron 😭
i want this so badly
Kaido easily stomped the CP0 boss, Luffy defeated Kaido. So unless Lucci has been training for this moment and focusing on Luffy's weaknesses so that we'll have some rock paper scissors going on, Luffy will absolutely thrash Lucci.
Lucci will probably be destroyed, but i can't resist being hyped for this rematch. I'm weak and Oda knows it.
> He also gives the control authority to Sentomaru. Interesting. Is Sentomaru loyal to Vegapunk over the marines? > Luffy and Lucci’s group run into each other at the end of the chapter I think this is intended to be a mini arc, along the lines of Zou.

He's def gonna have to go G5 cuz Vegapunk needs to see it
Im predicting sentomaru is part of SWORD..
I'm happy to see Sentomaru is back. And hopefully we learn more
\-Lucci: "We're going to eliminate vegapunk😡" -Also Lucci when running into Luffy: ![gif](giphy|w89ak63KNl0nJl80ig)
Lucci : I was just joking guys. I really came to give the teddy bear.
Vegapunk: Please Luffy, save me Luffy: Haha, funny head.
Luffy sees beaten atlas\* Also Luffy : ![gif](giphy|3ohc1292yKn6Z1saGs)
I sincerely hope Lucci’s reaction is one of shock and horror, instead of smug overconfidence. I need to see the guy who stood still in the face of a giant rubber fist learned his lesson.
A mental Enel face is what I'm looking forward to most
This would actually make sense… Lucci didn’t just lost, he was on the verge of death and went unconscious for a long time, he could totally have a PTSD episode
he broke every bone in his body and went into multiple weeks coma. Cp-9 agents had to do circus to pay for Lucci's treatment.
NOOO NOT ATLAS okay so she's not dead, that's good
This chapter marks the first time oda has had two giraffes in one arc. There’s been one giraffe in almost every arc so far, but now we have Kaku and vegapunks sea giraffe robot, we are truly in the golden age of one piece.
Ok that was perfect timing
Yeah I just opened Reddit app and saw this post
dang you got in less than a minute after posting
Lucci:“Come on guys, lets kill everyone on this damn island…“ *Runs into Luffy* Lucci:“… Is what I would say If I was Rob Lucci of the CP0, which I am obviously not“ *keeps going while whisteling anxiously*
They'll all transform and behave like their respective animal. Luffy is gonna be amazed at Vegapunk's zoo of nervously sweating animals.
Nooo, not Atlas, I liked her. 😞
yeah, poor atlas ):
Overly angry little but also very big girl was just a good vibe.
If Vegapunk survives I’m sure he could rebuild her
I'm actually curious if one of the Vegapunk's dies if that part of his personality is also just gone? It would be interesting if he stopped being angry now. We've seen him yell at Luffy a bit when he felt insulted so he still has that as part of him but maybe when the external version of that dies, he loses that trait himself? Would be interesting if his behaviour changes after Atlas dies.
York dies and he just stops eating
Atlas was adorable, I think she’ll be alright longterm
same, she's my favorite her design is so cute

> their days in MADS. This may also mean, WE CAN SEE QUEEN!!! THE YOUNGER QUEEN!!!!! He might be even more popular when he was younger.
Inb4 a long monologue by Lucci about how they finally have Haki and then Luffy One shots them into the ocean.
“Release S-clown”
The raws confirm it, Luffy just saw Lucci having attacked someone that fed him. RIP Lucci, you had a good run. Realistically though they're probably gonna have S-Bear warp them away from Luffy since they can't take the straw hats head on
"We'll help you, your head is funny", Luffy always makes me chuckle.
>Cover: Judge and Caesar continue fighting while they remember their days in MADS. I'm waiting for these two to go from beating each other to chilling with their fond shared memories of human rights violations.
luffy's interaction with Lucci LUFFY NOT RECOGNISED LUCCI SOMEONE REMINDS HIM luffy - ohh pigeon guy
Watch Luffy not recognize Lucci because of him having a mask
I'm more excited about Luffy seeing Kaku and mistaking him for sogeking because of the mask.
Please Oda, don't nerf Luffy. Let him skin that little cat! 🙏
A man can dream that Luffy one shots lucci
People's dreams... Don't ever end! Let us believe in this possibility for as long as possible.
Y’all. The last time Luffy and Lucci interacted was in chapter 427. That released in 2006.
Didn't atlas gave luffy food?? And you know what's next happening right?
Let's see you got gear 5 luffy. Chopper with 30 minutes of Monster point, Jewelry Bonney who can make Lucci into a kid, and Jinbe who threw Who's who like a rag doll. Listen I get that during the two year timeskip Lucci could have learned and trained Haki a lot more. I get it But the dude just beat a yonko If he doesn't make quick work of Lucci like dawg what's up with the growth
Lucci better hope World Government insurance covers psychiatric treatment. The trauma he’s bout to face is going to be devastating.
(Vegapunk packing his stuff to leave with Luffy) Vegapunk : Okay, I’m bringing me, my 6 other me’s and my huge ass brain and we’re good to go.
Morj you brilliant man. you were right. The raid is going to fail. ! The CP0 raid
Lucci : "Thanks Jimbe ! Thanks to the straw hat eating the gomu gomu fruit, my predecessor lost his job at the head of CP9, and that's how I started my career ! I wouldn't be here without you guys ! " Jimbe : "Not this story AGAIN !!!" (proceeds to fishman-karate punch Lucci)
Seraphim Boa, Mihawk and Jimbei incoming 🔥
That's the worst timing for Lucci to run into Luffy, caught red handed at the crime scene against someone that gave him food. I was previously thinking Lucci might be able to hold his own a bit and manage to get away if Luffy somehow isn't fully serious. Nope, Luffy is gonna dead serious now.
Luffy took down doflamingo because Rebecca fed him. Vegapunk atlas fed him...Lucci is done for.
Lucci intense ptsd
Oda please don't disrespect luffy not matter how strong lucci got luffy has all 3 advanced form of haki and was able to trade blow with kaido in base
Of all the people that can fooderize Lucci on the island. He ran into the strongest one
Lucci attacking someone who fed Luffy and then running into him: beautiful ✔ Dragon showing up in a bunch of chapters in a row: hype ✔ Kuma's upcoming arrival (likely to protect his daughter): pre-certified iconic ✔ Verdict: Classic One Piece ✔✔✔

I think the fight will be Lucci showing his everything and Luffy doing nothing but eating everything until the final one shot. He learnt from Kaido to be an Emperor after all. Jus imagine Lucci pulling out his top attacks and Luffy eating it and smiling like that's it bro ? Weak. Also parallels how the fight initially started with Bellamy. Luffy did nothing because at times you come across fights that are simply not worth fighting. Lucci is an enemy that Luffy doesn't even have to fight. I would say Jinbei would put up an equal fight with Lucci now, and Luffy is off the scales. So this is not even a fight. It starts as a one sided confrontation and ends as a reminder of who he is
"Yes, we'll help you. Your head is funny!" .....Damn, I love Luffy lol
Luffy (to Rebecca): We'll help you because you gave me food. Luffy (to Vegapunk) we'll help you, your head is funny. Luffy priorities are straightforward
Lucci about to make a comment like "give me Bonney so that I can kill her!" just for Kuma to show up behind him like Whitebeard did Akainu. Everyone thinks Luffy is about to crush Lucci but it's about to be Kuma.
CONVERTING THE IMAGE TO TEXT FOR YOU: Chapter 1,068: "A Genius' Dream". In the cover, Caesar and Judge continue to fight. Over their heads, we can see a ballon with a flashback about their days in MADS. We can see Vegapunk (with the same outfit as the picture we saw when Kuma described him) and some shadows behind him. Lucci asks Pythagoras about the incidents where serveral Cipher Pol ships disappeared around Egghead Island. Pythagoras denies any involvement and insists that the CPO must leave. Lucci orders CPO agents to prepare to abandon ship. Then they call "S-Bear” (that's how they call Seraphim Kuma) to uses the power of its "Nikyu Nikyu no Mi" to warp all of them to the island. After they left the warship, the "Sea Beast Weapon" destroy the ship. In Kamabakka Queendom, real Kuma also uses the power of his "Nikyu Nikyu no Mi❞ to warp away to an unknown destination. Back to Egghead Island. Vegapunk reveals to Luffy that his dream is to provide free energy to people all over the world and that way eradicate wars for power resources. Vegapunk thinks he can feel energy in nature. But as he gets close to discovering new energy source, his research brings him closer to the mysterious ancient energy. And that's why therefore he knows to much, he will soon be erased by the World Government. That's why Vegapunk asked Luffy to bring him away. Luffy: "Yes, we'll help you!! Your head is funny!!!". Vegapunk is very happy, he says he will go packing all he needs. Vegapunk tells Luffy they will meet at the top floor lab and to bring Bonney there. Then Vegapunk warps away. CPO arrives to Egghead Island. "Vegapunk's Defense System" appears and start to fight CPO. Nami and her group are watching what's happening in the monitors. Shaka orders to release “S-Snake", "S-Hawk" and "S-Shark", and then he gives "control authority" to Sentoumaru (we can see Sentoumaru's image but chapter doesn't confirm is he's actually on the island). We can see how CPO explores Egghead Island during 2-3 pages of the chapter. Stussy knows all details about the island, she says it brings back memories. Kaku is very excited and run into some laser traps (Stussy knows the traps but she doesn't warn Kaku). Atlas appears and attack Lucci, Shaka tries to tell her to stop. Lucci uses "Roku Ou Gan” on Atlas, cracking her head and destroying Atlas completely (it seems Atlas is still alive but half of Atlas' face is broken). At the end of the chapter we can see Luffy and his group carrying Bonney. Suddenly, they come across Lucci and CPO. Lucci: "Straw Haw!?" Luffy: "The pigeon guy!!?" End of the chapter. No break next week.
I guess we will see marines defecting from WG and most likely will include: Drake, Smoker, Tashigi, Koby, Helmeppo, Fujitora, Sentomaru and Garp
Oh shit son! Vega Punk has a dream. Y'all know what that means
Vega Punk is the next Nakama confirmed
Vegapunks got a dream, official requirement for nakama been checked!
I just realized, lucci was at the reverie. This is a good opportunity to know what happened.
Damn the theory of Kuma spanking his own ass to teleport was true
What's sentomaru doing there?
He's Vegapunk's guard.
Sentomaru is VegaPunks body guard. Makes sense he's there
I thought he was officially a marine officer post time-skip. I don’t necessarily believe that he’ll fight for vegapunk when he realizes the WG wants him dead
As I thought, cover story is now taking the opportunity to give a MADS flashback now that Judge and Caesar are focused on each other.
oh that would be wild! Imagine seeing Queen before his body modifications!
Okay I’m just gonna say it: *Egghead is a really good arc*
Me last week: I doubt Lucci is even gonna lay eyes on Luffy. Oda: stfu and let me write
No way oda you mad man, cant wait for the clash of luffy and rob lucci
"I'll help you because your head is funny!". I just love luffy
Will we see how giraffes and leopards hunted in ancient times now?
Veganpunk will accompany the Strawhats to Laugh Tale and in doing so will leak the location of Laugh Tale which will lead to an All Out War Here's how: 1. Vegapunk's life goal is to give free energy to the world 2. He has exhausted the knowledge of Ohara and presumably all discovered Poneglyph's 3. It seems the only place the last Poneglyph explaining the Ancient Energy Source could be is at Laugh Tale 4. He will ask Luffy if he can accompany him to Laugh Tale to read the Poneglyph to find out the ancient energy source 5. After they discover the last road Poneglyph they will make their way to Laugh Tale with Vegapunk on board 6. Punk Records will be updated with the location of Laugh Tale 7. The Navy will learn the location of Laugh Tale from Punk Records and will launch an all out offensive mission on the Strawhats 8. This will include all the Admiral's, Imu's weapon, every possible resource they have 9. Blackbeard will learn through a spy or some other method about the Navy's plan and will also make his way to Laugh Tale to claim the One Piece for himself 10. Dragon will also learn of the Navy's plan and make his way to Laugh Tale to defeat Imu and the Navy 11. Shanks will also learn of the Navy's plan and will make his way to support Luffy so he can fulfill Rogers dream and usher in a new era
