#chapter 1061

his ship is named Victoria Punk—I'm sure there are theories out there.

Zoro fan service, although we might have to wait for the anime to do it justice and Brook and Usopp screaming in the background. But

Fishman Jinbe is here. So lucky for the crew, Luffy and Chopper went flying and met up with Bonney and Jinbei dived into the ocean after them and Franky took the helm. Kinda? Ahh...

I'll include the whole panel, cos' Franky's tools are cool, but metal can attract things made of metal, huh. Franky gets them out of the way, but I wonder if the propellor as well as the boat provides a target or homing device.

Jinbe saves the devil fruit eaters, so long as they surface in enough time. Chopper's hat indicating Chopper and Bonney on his shoulder.

But yeah, monstrous things are lurking and surfacing in the ocean and causing a commotion.

So Jinbe escapes, and the Thousand Sunny capsizes, and our mechanical monster spies a meal. But...

Looney tunes prevails, but aside from that, when I first read this, I thought this was Franky (Oda's intention, I'm sure), but I think (after having read the whole chapter) the upper top left panels indicate that these two know each other—master to errant pupil.

So, who's on board? Zoro, Usopp, Brook (devil fruit user), Usopp, Sanji, Robin (devil fruit user) and Franky. More eye-candy Zoro rescuing Brook. I figure that's Sanji (or is it Franky?) rescuing Robin (and Nami? but she can swim), and Usopp looks like he's knocked out. Or is that Sanji on the right? Please leave comments in the replies! Nami I think, given that she's wearing something light covered a few pages earlier.

Also love that the severity of the explosion and the fire is reflected in Sunny's face.

Meantime, the Punk Hazard kids make a comeback along with Tashigi (so hopefully Smoker's hanging around somewhere), and their sizes are apparently decreasing to normal sizes, so we know that Vegapunk can do good, even if their science helped bring about this abomination.

But it seems as if G-14 is as scrappy as G-5, and even the Sword members seem to be the same, as Helmeppo and his colleague (Hibari) beg for members of Sword and the marines to help Koby (who was taken by Blackbeard). So is G-14 also housing Sword? And it seems they're taking care of the kids rather than them being at Egghead.

Where is Drake? So many lose ends potentially getting tied up (but not quickly, knowing Oda).

There was a theory that if Luffy doesn't give you a nickname/remember your name, you won't necessarily be around for the long haul (I'm not sure about that, but...)

Ahh. I think that Law was lucky that his nickname also connects with the Japanese word for Tiger. He got the best one, I think! Also, fan service from the male gaze, I think, but not as overt as Oda can get. We'll see what Toei ends up doing with it. Love Chopper shaking himself out, and Bonney's Bogey's question is probably the same one that Luffy has about Buggy.

Morgans' haste to publish this will work in Luffy's favour, I think. Chopper being cute! And Bonney about to go through the Law and Kid treatment.

Gonna include the whole page (above), cos Bogey's got business with Vegapunk (and Luffy thinks he might've heard the name before). More importantly, Luffy and Bonney are gonna cause havoc in the marine mess, I think, scavenging for and hoovering up food (if Egghead has one).

Chopper might be able to graze on grass (not that he ever has), or maybe there's a Cotton Candy supply somewhere. The kids from Punk Hazard are nearby too, so they'll be devoted to Chopper.

And what is Bonney's business. Vengeance for Kuma? And another captain who went it solo.

So being rescued by a gigantic robot is orgasmic for some (Franky, Usopp, Caribou?!? (who is now free. HMMM). For Franky it's like coming home to mother, right?

Robin (and Zoro) seem more wary. And I'm not sure if Brook is bedazzled. he usually is. The character stepping out speaks in a vernacular that is dated. I wonder if Grandpa Chopper form will end up conversing with them (and Brook). Anyway!

The Straw Hats thought they were saved but this woman (or, I wonder if we've got someone so modified and timeless they're very easily able to be the embodiment of gender-fluid) is the mediocre (evil) genius of the government
