Merphy like a year and a half ago: "Probably not gonna do weekly chapter reviews, that's not what I do" Merphy now: "I missed talking about chapters!"

If Franky doesn't go Centaur mode and fight Geriatric Ghandi i'm gon riot

I am loving how the Gorosei are just ruthlessly and efficiently getting a job done. No evil villain monologues, no overly elaborate schemes, no tragic backstories, no vendettas, no infighting. "We have 10 minutes to accomplish these objectives. Mercury and Jupiter, you're on Nika/Giant control. Venus, neutralize the pacifista and secure Bonney. Saturn, prevent the Sunny from leaving. Mars, turn off that damn snail." And then they do. These are the villains that I've been waiting to go up against for a long time! Edit: Also... York: "STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY -SHIP- BUILDING!"

A child transformed into an adult kicks the crap out of an adult transformed into a child 😂 gotta love one piece

That last panel with the undead horse gorosei looks like a dark souls boss, i could even hear the music lol

we're back!!!!! loved this chapter!!!!!

Even Merphy loves the design of samurai Gandhi. Everyone and their mothers love samurai Gandhi.

The blub blub is caribou absorbing the parts of egghead with weapons in them into his swamp abyss 😂😂😂

St Ju Peter "Worm": I'm so hungry I could eat a horse! V. Nasujuro "Gandhi": *turns back to human form hidden in the shadows*

The Red Roc scene really puts into perspective how strong the Gorosei are. I mean, this attack hurt KAIDO for god's sake, but this time it's Luffy's hand that's hurting. It felt harrowing reading the panel where Saturn was climbing over the cloudy ledge, but to then turn the page and see Gandhi in that silhouette? Goosebumps! And just when I thought this guy couldn't get any cooler, here comes Tissine with her incredible rendition, giving the rest of us artists imposter syndrome again XD. Great video as always, and day 69 of recommending Bleach

The artwork for this chapter by Tissine is simply exquisite, crafted within a mere span of days, it truly dazzles the mind!

You want theories, well I'll give you some theories: Since Stella and the satellites back up their brains, killing their bodies is pointless. York was never a traitor and this has all been a plot to capture one of the Gorosei. Vegapunk invented a device that can extract the truth, and wanted to broadcast the message to the whole world. There is no recording and it is a projection of Stella and the non-embodied satellites, which is why they kept stalling, so their target had time to get in place.

I hope the trend of Vegapunk tricking the Elders continues posthumously. That moment when Saturn is like, “I’m a scientist too, so you can’t trick me”, I knew the Elders would keep underestimating him, like they seem to with all humanity

Fun fact the new transponder snails were showcased in film red, they’re the ones Uta used to broadcast her performances.

Doctor Oda and Mr. Hype!

Nika al Gaib (gear 5 luffy) throwing a building to the sandworm gorosei was very funny 🤣💖🖤✨

This art goes CRAZY!!!

Good chapter but I hope at least 1 vagapunk survives

Wranky finally getting the respect he deserve, one-shotting vice admirals. VA's in the mud😂

15:14 theory - the Glub, Blub, Blub is Vegapunk drinking Vega Coffee and Mars hates coffee so much he will be too stunned to do anything

This weeks chapter was really really good set up. Some really iconic pages too, specifically Venus stairing down Bonies group. Idk if other felt like this but for the longest time, even before we knew their names, mars seemed the least intersting or atleast just generally overshadowed by the figures that were "samurai ghandi" and "Sanjis uncle" (old fan names for venus and jupeter) but these past few chapters have made me adore mars as a villian. The itsumade is awesome, just the way interacts with characters like york and lucci, hes just so impossing and I have high hopes for his villany going forward. So hyped.

We are so back! Thanks for the review

It could just be dramatic tension (how things get resolved just in time when there's a countdown involved in stories), but part of me feels like it's not a coincidence that the "1 minute left" happens right as Mars finds the snail. Part of me wants to believe that Vegapunk had timed things out, like he somehow knew that when the broadcast was needed, it would take the enemy just over 10 minutes to disrupt it, at which point he has something big planned. Wishful thinking, I'm sure, though. I doubt you can plan for Straw Hats vs Gorosei without actually seeing the future.

You know who's really glub glubbing in the ceiling swamp

A lot of theories are about Vegapunk's brain being inside that room but I sort of doubt it would be in there of all places. If Vegapunk really wanted to set a good trap he wouldn't just have something silly on the ceiling to trick the gorosei because I'm sure sea prism stone or any other normal trap would stop them. Seeing as this arc is a lot about technological advances and the subtle mention that Stussy was the *1st* sucessful cloning experiment of the Rocks Pirates, I would love to see Rocks D. Xebec, cloned, inside a bubbling tube staring right at the gorosei. If Rocks was cloned to be just like the seraphim, he could be strong enough to fend off Mars long enough for the message to fully play out. I'm probably wrong but it would be cool to finally get a reveal of him and his strength and maybe even a new devil fruit we haven't seen yet!

Tissine is killing it with the artwork! Besides your dope reviews, I look forward to the art each time. Amazing video as always.

I think Mars is looking at a brain of sorts. No way that the room is kept so secret unless it is a bigger reveal.

Merpht ONE PIECE is back!!! To celebrate please do a short where you are gonna try some fermented shark and have ya cats have some as well...

that art piece near the end is freeeeeeeeeeaking next-level. Might be one of the best One Piece-related pieces of art I've ever seen, and I've been looking at that stuff for over 15 years at this point.

Remember that time when you wanted to do once a month. But then one piece changed the gear

At 15:38 you made me realize that Vegapunk had his brain removed and the Stella was operating off of an antena, so no Vegapunk is not dead. At worst his original body died, but it's still kind of a meat puppet.

Love how much murphy shouts out the artists

How does Oda keep one-upping himself?! Tissine you're my new favourite artist. 😁

I think you missed some things: -There is a triangular snail in the manga -We see the severed leg of the giant

That illustration was so sweet!

Thanks for the review Merphy !

Random thought, but whatever vegapunks that get off of egghead will need to actually eat now because there’s no york, sanji and Lilith antics will happen at some point lmao

Best video thumb nail ever Murphy

It is a clone, a mix between Vegapunk and Kaido. It's called MEGAPUNK!!

this week's artwork just set a new bar. this one was truly spectacular

We’re so so back 🏴‍☠️

The most excting idea I could think of with the glug glug was that it could be a Whitebeard seraphim/clone drinking booze guarding the place. Everything is point towards Weevil being a failed Whitebeard clone so Vegapunk should have some of his DNA, and if he'd succeed Vegapunk does seems like the kind of guy that would hide that from the World Government keeping it for something special.

I really like the theory the “cronosfera” made. They think that the den den mushi is actually on the moon! Enel is coming back to the story! And that’s not that crazy. If you pay attention to his cover story… it could very well be it

That art piece of Nusjuro is insane!! 🤯

All hell is about to break loose. I think Oda is about to go wild these next few chapters. I also think we’re in a spot where all the Vegapunks are going to die one-by-one to the Gorosei. Also, I’m not sure what it is that Mars was looking at, but he looks terrified imo. So it’s gotta be something crazy.

i think there is a hologram trap in the room...meybe the den den mushi?

Brook is on the ceiling spinning his sword

the snail was in film red so i think it's the real one but it seems that you have to destroy all of those snails to end the broadcast so i wouldn't be suprised if Vegapunk sets up a dozens of snails around near by islands making it impossible to stop the broadcast.

I think this was an excellent set up chapter, so I think the things this chapter set up are what's gonna really blow us away, battles with the Gorosei, we finally get to see inside punk records, sacrifices coming up for sure, and the message should be starting next chapter

Holy hell that art. Goat.

I can't believe that when discussing sacrifice, you failed to mention my boy Sentamaru. Throw some respect on the man's name! Toughest defense in the world baby!

We're so back! Edit: That art looks so good

Number of gorosei taken down by a building : 2

This is the same snail uta used in the film red . One of the cover arts of dragon has the same one too. Usopp lied about fighting many spiders during jaya arc while they were searching for the South Bird.

The glub glub it's from the chamber of Buggy's Seraphym, the ultimate Pacifista

Part of me wants the 'glug glug' sounds to be Caribou just to see your reaction (and hatred)

Vice-Admiral Pompsky turned into Naval Cadet Puppy!

If this is what the Gorosee are doing than who knows what Imu can do.

Wow that art piece!

Obviously the gloopy sounds at the end of the chapter are Merphy's favourite character, Caribou.

Yeah the white in the panels..cool that you mentioned it.

This break felt way too long, I’m glad we are back strong. Who here think we find out the “secret” in the next 2 chapters?

I like the one that makes Venus look like Eustace Bag.

Thumbnail looks like Merphy’s the one getting stabbed 😂

Holy hell the thumbnail go crazy 🤩

Great art piece !

You should check out Dawn and Dusk for insight on the little clues in the japanese version on the manga

The thumbnail goes so hard

It's Kaidous seraphim, the glub glub is him drinking juice or something like that (since is a minor he can't drinks sake)

Thankfully these 3 weeks flew by for me. I didn't even realize the chapter was out until yesterday. Im so happy we return to the weekly chapters, tho :D

I think it’s another vegapunk satellite with seraphim blood that’s in an “in case of emergency, break glass” type vat almost like how we met s-shark. Just imagine Vega-07 with like 3 paramecia blood arm bands.

The glug glug is obviously Vegapunks most powerful weapon, S Swamp, a seraphim caribou

So talking about Kuma. I don't know how his story gonna go in the future because there is plenty of theories that Kuma is gonna do one last thing before this arc ends. I really think that Kuma is still gonna be a major factor. Even though he is not fully function, he is still not moving so maybe, something is gonna happen with him Kuma still need to see his idol Nika, fully. Maybe he is aware when Luffy goes Gear 5 BUT i don't know

Take a deep breath in and out

I could imagine the entire room just to be full of snails and the dude needing to figure out which one is sending the signal to disrupt the message

Please, can you be visualising the chapters as you explain. It makes it more immersive and engaging

Vega is naive enough to not guard it because he didnt think that he would betray himself, but I really hope he set up a trap, specially as WG spied on him last time And art is seriously beautiful!!

that art piece is pretty gangster

I don't think it's the actual snail, I think it's a decoy. He might not be as paranoid and particular as Crocodile, but I can't imagine that Vegapunk would plan something so easily disrupted. He knows his enemy well enough to know that whatever defenses he mounted at Egghead would probably not be enough. I knew I wasn't imagining things when it looked like Luffy's fist was burnt and not from being on fire. I know the Red Roc is a fiery punch, but that looked like he was actually injured by it, burnt by it. That artwork was incredible!

Seeing the Vice Admirals with Bonnie ready to end a 12 year old child makes me miss Smoker. Remember that time a child ran into Smokey, and he bought him/her ice cream? Where are you Smoker, Luffy is on the island you were just on, one of the three islands he could have shown up on after leaving Wano?!

Swamp nakama is going to make his entrance from the ceiling to save the day! :)

Good to be back! Also, did Mars hear the tiny snail "voice" from way down? Do the Gorosei hear the "voice of all things" too?? Or only Mars out of the five??? SO MANY QUESTIONS

It’s Caribou undulating on the ceiling.

ok so smiley from punk hazard was caesar's thing, imagine if its an actual good version of a slime about to gooify mars

Mars is looking at a sign that says , “Sanji is stronger than Zoro, officially. Love, Oda.”

13:57 that was bonney i thought it was spiderman

Correction. Whole cake island arc was Brook’s. Don’t forget, he asked young lady Big Mom to see her panties. Sarcasm intended.

The triangle snail is the same one Uta used in film red

The giant that najuro take down is the one carrying Kuma , I think 😊

What if the whole of Egghead Island had just been a hologram? The Strawhats, CP0, and the Marines are real, but everything else is fake?

Someone theorized that the snail that's emitting VP's dying message is inside the ancient robot that awakened last chapter. His argument is that the first time that VP was introduced he was stuck inside the robot when Luffy, Chopper, Jimbei and Bonney found him.

I'm ready for a vegapunk speech

If the brain is still alive wouldnt that technically mean vegapunk is still alive? Just his former body is dead? I feel like we need more information on how the satellites actually work. We kinda just breezed right past all that. Youd think that if they can carry out bodily functions for eachother like how york eats and craps for everyone and atlas burns energy, youd think that theyd all be able to feel the other satellites dying.

The blurb blurb is Caribou's Seraphim

Another art banger

Your artist has put out the best Gorosei artwork on the interwebs. Keep up the great content, Rat-Pack for life

This is the decoy snail it's going to this real snail is going to be somewhere else

Something someone noticed that is strange about the elders. They are referring to Bonney as a child and not as an Insect.

I do like the theory that snail is just a coffee maker.

Black figure at the end of the chapter reminded me of Zoro's sensei.
