LUFFY SHOULDN’T BE DOING THIS! 

the iron giant has been stalled out for so long that the anime literally caught up to its introduction before hes actually done anything in the manga lmao

"You had to learn advanced armament haki just to tickle his balls" Wonderful choice of words here sir.

I'm convinced that Oda only spent so much time introducing these Vice Admirals as if they were going to be something big just as an excuse to create some funny designs that he had stored in a drawer

The thing about Jimbei and shark meat: Hachi owns a Takoyaki stand. Fishmen eat fish, even the fish that they share traits with.

Dude, don’t give me this “Jinbe is fish so he’s sad when fish are eaten.” Line. No he ain’t, he says, “ yo mate, pass the fish.” Cause that’s what he eats too.

I think people are forgetting Franky vs Blueno because taking into account the body hardening technique and the raw strength Blueno was known for and that Franky EASILY broke through all of that no problem pre time skip. I like to think the wapo-metal and his natural raw strength comes together to combat most vice admirals armament haki... Just scaling 🤷

Hachi eats octopus so I don't think fishmen care

I like that non-haki users can still defeat haki users if they are strong enough, like when Luffy defeat all those Haki users in Marineford

the panel of Luffy throwing a building at Ju Peter made me now fully grasp that he is now an emperor

For the Whole cake island repeated ending I feel that was more Oda showing the reader that Sanji takes his cooking as serious as his fighting and that he is just as confident at being in the kitchen as he is kick fighting other pirates and marines.

Man your artists really speedrun those drawings huh

Can we do predictions? I have one. Stussy's "Final Mission" isn't opening up the Frontier Dome, its playing Vegapunk's message.

Can we all agree, that we were all taken aback by the sexiness of the Nusjuro silhouette shot

Next chapter one of three things will happen: 1 We hear the message (and Imu calls the 5 back in a rage, letting the crew escape without fighting them now and just teasing what the matchups will be). 2 They stop the message, but Luffy gets away (maybe with a statlite vegapunk or the giants who give us lore drops) 3 None of that shit and we get blue-balled into oblivion when it ends with Luffy about to be killed, a giant hurt, an elder about to step on a snail, and "10 more seconds, Stella..."

I want the horse-man silhouette panel as a poster. Brook saluting goodbye was hilarious. Since they are on an island in the sky? Return of Usopp's SkyDials for the fight? Franky stocks are up.

Luffy was more right than he could ever imagine when he told Sanji back on Whole Cake Island that he couldn't become pirate king without him. Gear 5 Luffy can't do all the things without all the food, and Sanji is one of the few chefs who can keep up with Luffy's appetite. I wonder if the special attack cuisine recipes that Sanji learned during the time skip will become more important at any point in relation to Luffy's gear 5 food needs.

One thing to remember is that not all Mark III Pacifistas have been taken down as there is still one that is being controlled by Bluegrass

You know since mars is on punk records the dripping bubbling sound effect could simply be vegapunk's gigantic brain fluids.

Franky doesn't need haki to beat low-level haki users. Armament haki is like extra armor, but it doesn't make you completely invincible to physical blows. Remember that Luffy was able to beat the two Boa sisters pre-timeskip

3:22 Zoro went on quite the adventure there huh

If you follow the Blackbeard is a clone of Rocks theory, or Blackbeard is part Buccaneer theory, can I just say Mars might be horrified by Rocks in a stasis tank...😮 That could be how Blackbeard is a clone of Rocks, Stussy handed him to her colleague Vegapunk to put in stasis and study and they even mixed in some Buccaneer blood to boot.

The panel with V. Nusjuro is genuinely one of the most haunting panels ever.

Even though there's still 1 min left, the match-ups that were set up in this chapters was worth it.

A very rare mid-day post.

Vice admirals are fodder level to haki users at this point

Franky has Centaur mode, there should be a Centaur vs Centaur situation.

Next chapter has to be about God Ussop v Demon Saturn. Ussop unlocks Future Observation. I guarantee it, Internet Man😎

I’ve watched the entirety of OP since July of last year, and I’ve kept up with the manga both online and here and I just wanted to say thank you for being an outlet to this media, OP has genuinely changed me as a person and I love the vocabulary you choose!!

The thing Markus sees is likely the same thing Shaka saw on the surveillance screen

Why does everyone forget that the primary food source for fish are other fish? Why would Jimbei care about seeing a fish or any other form of sea life being eaten?

3:21 Love how Zoro got lost in the anime verse

Mars is looking at Iron Giant shocked that Oda used Iron Giant indirectly to end the chapter once again😂

Thank you for the criticisms you’re giving. When I talk to my friends about one piece, 1 friend has basically no opinions, almost as if he doesn’t wanna impose his perspective on odas story too much and my other friend doesn’t s literally unable to criticize anything about one piece, if I find a legit criticism he can’t weasel around, he’ll just ignore my messages he’s one of those types that scream Goda, and feel Goda can do no wrong. He believes Goda is doing some kind of master next level 4d underwater chess story telling. And it’s just so nice to be able to watch someone else press the stuff I feel as well. I don’t feel crazy watching your vids lol

Something I noticed that was interesting (at least to me) is that Mars, the bird demon, possibly has the 'Voice of all Things'. When he was looking for the source of the Vegapunk message, he said he heard a small voice coming from inside the labosphere.

We are so fucking back

As annoying as the Iron Giant tease has been it's still better than expecting Dragon to do anything.

The Iron Giant powering up feels like the embodiment of that Tiktok trend that's been going around, where Person A needs something from Person B, but every time the camera pans back to Person B they're still just as far away as they were before.

Artwork and editing are just so amazing, love the little snippet of joy boy dancing with with his buddies

Addirional emergency food supplies 😂😂😂

One thing I have to say about the five elders though, is that I reaaly do not feel that overwelhming sense of power and dread that we usually get from one piece antagonists, especially post wano. Yes we cannot beat them right now, but the thing is that it's only due to their regeneration, the moment we find out how to go through this, they are toast. We have seen them being skewered, mangled, torn appart and literally sliced to bits, meanwhile they have yet to land a SINGLE attack on anyone actively trying to defend themselves. Compare that to Big Mom and Kaido that had a similar "invincibility" feature with their tough skin, when we finally learned how to pass through this, it was still an absolut slog to beat them, because they were so durable, but the elders, one of them was skewered by franky. And a lot of their attacks, while the would floor 99percent of characters in the serie, are just not effective because we are now in the 1 percent. They haven't landed a single thing on luffy (in fact I think the most damage he took was from himslef punching that boar), they even got parried pretty effortlessly by the giants, the most damage we have seen them doing against a character is Vegapunk, who is quite literrally a brainless old man..

Edging the iron giant is crazy

I fkin love your Wallace and Gromit mugs

You definitely deserve more recognition for this!

Okay can we talk about how Luffy hasn't hit anyone with Conqueror's Haki this whole arc? You'd think he would use it against one of the elders at least. I'm hoping to see it next chapter with a reattack

1:07 it's the same for brook in my opinion. He should have manifested haki by now

Anyone else noticing the parallels between stussy and Bon clay stating behind Luffy won’t let this happen again

GrandLineReview, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

the fact that Franky doesn't have haki right now only elevate his potential when he does. Franky didn't just beat red king, he shattered red king's arm. The same arm that was busting up vegapunk's sea beast that defended egghead.

The whole panel in which york forms a triangle screams sus. Her speaking about sins and stressed relations emphasises heavily on that. And were stussys eyes always like that? My first idea was she might be the transponder right now. The last panel: old man is not amused at all. But neither surprised, nor in fear or anything else. More like he sees something in what he realises that they take a L Everything is perfectly set up to be bothered by some big reveal: 1min left, all matchups facing each other, the giant have been seen approaching last chapter, so if he still moves even though G5 is gone, he should be there now. My idea is, what ever is up there on the top will be a decoy for the last seconds until the broadcasting starts, what will force the elders to decide to eradicate the island and let off the strawhats and the giant will send the sunny flying to help them escape. But Oda will probably do something absolutely crazy no one thought off.

That panel of samurai Gandhi with the silhouette.. so freaking intimidating 😱🤣

I'll be honest: I've been reading One Piece since 2002, first in the shonen jump print magazine and then in the volumes. When digital options for weekly became available for purchase, i still waited for the volumes. When the free app came out, i still waited. Right up until i decided to take the plunge and catch up to Egghead after Wano so i could watch fun yiutube theory videos and finally be part of the discussions... and the tldr is as this is my second weekly chapter ever im so dang hyped to be here the gisbt thing didnt bother me at all ha ha. Thanks for the fun breakdown and theories video.

one thing you gotta remember is that the gum gum fruit makes you immune to all blunt force trauma just straight up, so luffy being hurt from the recoil of hitting the boar guy is actually a pretty big red flag.

I have two things to say: 1, What are the chances Vegapunk's message is coded in the talk about coffee? 2, What would Geko Moria be able to do with the shadows of the 5 Elders, or someone like Imu for that matter?

The animation of this video reached a new level! Congratulations your animation provider is amazing!!! ❤ May I have her contacts?

Man, I am glad to be back. Kind of am wondering if Vegapunk left a guard or a security device with sentience in the room with the new Den Den Mushi. Maybe a living slime with the properties of the ocean is keeping the snail safe? Or maybe even Punk Records (aka Vegapunk's brain) is about to be shown?

I'm certain Marcus Mars is standing in front of Vegapunk's brain 🧠

Jimbei would be fine with them eating sea food if hatchan had a takoyaki stand

It’s been months since I watched your videos. And it never gets old your content is just that good 👍🏽

With the crazy setups that have been going on in 1112, what really intrigued me was when York said that she doesn’t want to rack up any more “sins” and the VPs relationships with each other were troublesome enough. I wonder if something happened in the past that soured their relationship and, as a result, had to pay penance for it.

Oda showed us a long time ago that you dont need Haki to beat someone who has it. Idk why its a problem for someone as strong as franky to do what he does

The bloop bloop made me remember the sept of baelor explosion from got. Like that slowly but surely dripping wax from the candle ready to set the wildfire ablaze, burning all to a crisp. Dont rhink one piece will go that dark but like hey, one can dream

The den-den mushi at the end reminds me of a saying in software engineering that states that if you have one backup, you have no backup, and if you have 2 backups, you have 1 backup I believe something similiar will play out here, where the elder planet destroys the den-den mushi (have we ever seen a den-den mushi being killled?), then the transmission stops for a brief while, just enough for the geriatric planets think that the problem was solved, and then the transmission picks up again from a second, "hider", den-den mushi.

Marcus is probably looking at what is the brain of Vegapunk. The room was so hollow besides the den den mushi. After cutting down a giant, i would love to see venus get attacked by the Iron Giant. But now that Luffy is bot longer in G5, does that mean the giant has stopped moving again?

I genuinely have a problem. I have been the most depressed I have been in a very long time during this one piece break not because my life is hard but because there was no one piece. I'm addicted and I need therapy please help.

realizing i missed a video and have fixed this massive issue. big love and appreciation for another great video milord!~

Im going to ask on every video i see asking where you get your shirts?! They're all so epic!

A very rare mid-day post

I think Sanji's food can upgrade Gear 5's duration, remember how they said that Kamabaka Kingdom's food revitalize the body

The Sanji-Ending-Chapters in wholecake Island are both, a pause for not needing a new cliffhanger but also showing the Will of Baratié, Sanji and Zeff, where they feed whomever is hungry, even if they tell them they'll attack him afterwards. First feed, afterwards fight. That's what it highlights by ending both chapters the same way :)

Sir in your background in the one piece poster Luffy kind of looks like Vampire

I'm so glad Oda has been practicing drawing ass. Stussy looked so good.

6:49 “and he effed off”😂😂😂

This chapter basically confirms that every Marine vice admiral that isn't Garp is *_absolute fodder._* When Bonney beat up Pomsky, Guillotine didn't even do anything, he just stood there and asked her to *_stop._* And Franky literally *_one punch manned_* Red King with his one of his most basic attacks. What's the point of introducing *_eight_* new characters at once if they're *_all_* just gonna be *_irrelevant_* in the grand scheme of things?

Keep up the great work and videos Liam love the video

I wonder how many dresrosa chapters ended on doffys face close up on his glasses as he is laughing

the sound made by the "thing" seems like its in water ,it could be a body or preserved thing that vegapunk kept a secret. It could be another seraphim,maybe gecko moria ,ace or dofffy

Liam I’ve been following you since the days of One Piece 101 and I’m so happy to see your channel’s growth. I’m just curious how you feel about One Piece nearing its end. Will you continue making OP content even after its conclusion?

This best part about extended breaks is once they’re over you get the standard GLR overly enthusiastic “ONE PIECE IS BACK!!”

So, as far as Franky vs Haki goes, I think it is more franky's strong arm has more damage behind it than what the vice admiral's can simply block with armoring Haki

9:00 HAKARI???!! *Tuca Donka starts blasting* 🎶🎶🎶🎶

I think that mars at the end either looks up and sees dragon because of the water sounds and dragon showed up in logue town with a storm or urouge cos that would be cool

I'm glad you pointed out some of the differences, along w the similarities of Luffy's red roc v Kaido and Warcury. Completely agree it's impressive, but also not 1:1 so I am unsure how much we can take from it just yet. Insightful, reasonable analysis as always, great stuff. You right, the timing of the break was unfortunate

The iron giant teases feel very similar to how Oda kept teasing Sanjis fate back in Zou.

Bonney kicking the baby reminded me of that scene from The Campaign (Will Ferrell) 😂😂

7:13 a Spider in the Fallout Universe, obviously.

St. Marcus: **Destroys random computer to stop the stream** York: This is not how videos on the internet work, grandpa!

13:42 i agree! That metal giant better do SOMETHING! AND IT BETTER BE AMAZING!!

Also, my interpretation of where the ancient robot was at the end of 1111 mirrors the idea of this being a setting chapter as was discussed, so it’s not unreasonable to think that the giant awakening is taking place at the same time as everything else and is just split between 1111 and 1112

vice admirals are basically like avatars of khaine from warhammer...super strong beings that are just there to show how strong somebody is when they easily defeat them

Something interesting to note is the way Luffy hurt his hand when he hit Warcury made it look like the time his Haki was being overtaxed by clashing with Katakuri's higher level of armament in Wholecake. It's hard to say if it's the same thing exactly, but it is horrifying if the Gorosei can create Armament Haki defenses so strong it mimics porcupine spines and hurt the attacker and that only higher levels of Haki can bypass the damage return.

Completely with you on the Iron Giant. I mean, just keep him sleeping there on the corner if he's not fully ready to join in on the action and, I dunno, kill/defeat an Elder Star or something that big. The way things are now, I don't know if I'll even be excited when he finally makes a move

About the Franky and Haki thing maybe Haki is kinda like the force so you need living parts to use it ? Kinda how when Anakin lost his libs as Darth Vader he didn’t lose the force completely but his access to it and the abilities he can use were slightly nerfed

Your supporting visuals are FIRE man wtf

The purpose of basic armament haki is to make anything you're using to attack as hard and tough as metal, but Franky is made of metal, so he doesn't need basic haki in a FIST fight against another haki user who isn't logia user. And NO ONE shall question franky's physical prowess, even before time skip, this cyborg was evenly matched withluffy in water 7, and luffy had already shown crazy strength feats until that point in the story. And after time skip, no matter how visually displeasing Franky's body jave become for many people (personally, i am a fan of his new design, especially with his old hairstyle), but it is a HUGE upgrade in terms of physical capabilities, not only he became a battleship in his own, he is also a machine capable of showcasing beyond superhuman strength.

It's probably that the metal Franky upgraded himself and his shogun with is strong enough to stand up to some base haki users. And his Radical Beam is basically Kizaru's light beam attack, and that's what he used to finish of Sasaki, as well as damage Saturn.

Alright brother the cliff hanger motif was well used here. Ill see you next video gdi. I was gonna anyways but not usually off a cliffhanger.

I feel like the pages we get with the iron giant are supposed to be like post credits scene. It shows the giant slowly waking up one clank at a time

"Underwater friends" was that a Metalocalypse reference there Mr Liam? ;)

Something that I haven’t heard people really talk about is that, even if the timer is only at a minute left, the elders would need to be held off until the message finishes. They aren’t likely to just sit back and let it play, they’ll try to stop it playing fully if they can’t stop it starting

Maybe in terms of bounties vice admirals could be considered 300 million+ level. Maybe there is a wide gap in strength between vice admirals like in the warlords. In the warlords, you have a pre-time skip crocodile (that would have been worth 150 million (if the gov knew what he was up to)) and then you had Mihawk who was 3 BILLION+ level.
