Our band of lovable rogues and their allies split ways after liberating not!Japan only to find out the world's lost its collective marbles; the government made big moves, the disavowed privateers have made big moves, the Revolutionaries are getting framed for a supposed big move, and Blackbeard & his cronies have made EXTRA big moves.
But rather than get involved, WE'RE GOING TO TOMORROWLAND!

Technology in the "One Piece" world has always been a weird sliding scale of old-school and cutting edge sci-fi. Most of telecommunications has been relegated to magic snails, people still get around on wind-in-yer-sails ships, cars aren't a thing (no, the turtle-powered one in that one movie doesn't count), AND YET, we have trains that run on the surface of the ocean, multi-level but separately climated hellscapes in one prison, and fully functional cyborgs that shoot frickin' laser beams!
So the next island to visit is the secret laboratory of a frequently teased name DR. VEGAPUNK...who we find out split themselves into 7 bodies to deal with all the genius ideas and differing parts of personality (including one to take care of the pesky biological functions of eating, pooping, & sleeping! XD).
Also looks like that Jewelry Bonney, someone else the government decided to label as a big up&comer, is involved somehow. Possibly vengeance, possibly assistance, who knows?

5 star storytelling wise, but bragging in the sbs about not doing panty shots and then in the next chapter putting both female leads into panties... a move

oda’s mind is pure BRILLIANCE. literally how does he do it. it makes you wonder how much was planned from the start and how much was improvised. i feel like i’m getting so much closer to solving the mysteries of this universe, while watching it expand even more… the worldbuilding in one piece is just on another level.

the whole debacle with Crocodile, Mihawk, and Buggy is frankly hilarious and truly goes to show how unserious this series is
EGG!HEAD! ISLAND! ARC!!!!! yee haw
really can't go one single volume with out some fukin fanservice naked women, hm?
I'm happy Bonney is gonna join the journey tho; still not looking forward to how awful the depictions of her will be
Dr. VEGAPUNK awooga i love science and futuristic tech vibes, definitely allows Oda to be a lot more creative
