Seen the chapter, they talked about Ohara, Vegapunk read the books that were in the lake (can he read the Poneglyph?), and about Saul, it is good for Robin that he is still alive, but will it really be him?, and why did he never try to contact Robin?, and why did Dragon never tell Robin about this?, and about the design of Vegapunk, it gives the impression of being about a crazy old man (I like it), to wait for the next chapter.

Anyway I have a question, could Vegapunk read the poneglyphs? (since he read the books of the scholars, maybe he learned it there) Hopefully in the next chapter there will be more information about the empty century or Law vs Kurohige. |

It's either Saul or it's Oda's worst troll to date. But, it's Saul for sure

It certainly seems like this is the case, but I guess we'll get confirmation of it soon |

I always believed that this "Advanced Kingdom" was some real life counterpart of fabled Mu/Atlantis civilizations but it seems like they have some Nazi Germany in their blood too, as they wanted to eradicate the lesser kingdoms with their advanced might (20 against 1? They must've been mass producing those ancient weapons, definitely capable of genetic engineering or something like that since they somehow developed Shirahoshi into Poseidon CENTURIES later).
Now Im starting to believe that maybe WG was actually all the good guys whom survived a brutal extinction scale assault and now too afraid of their nemesis revival, probably capable of returning back or very powerful remnants of it (D?) are wandering the earth still barely aware of their origins. WG was righteously afraid they took all the extreme measures to paint themselves modern tyrants. |

If anyone here follows Bleach, I think Kubo is saying a similar thing with the Sternritters. The Nazis never left, they just hid in the shadows all this time and perfected their advanced technologies. Quote:
This reminds me a lot of Attack on Titan as well. Very interesting to see such similar themes in these top mangas. Truth in storytelling |

BTW, something I'm curious as to whether Oda will address in full this arc is the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. We've known it's been around for some time in the OP world, but how long, exactly? And who is the author? Vegapunk would be the natural guess here, but what if this book existed even before his rise to the top of the science world? Personally, I think it would be pretty interesting to learn that there were other famous scholars who successfully discovered some of the world's secrets prior to Vegapunk and Clover's generation.....
Oh, and yeah, I definitely agree that Punk Prime most likely split his brain among the other Punks. Which makes me wonder: Is there any chance the other Punks could go rogue? I think it would make for an interesting twist if an "evil" Punk turned out to be the arc's big bad instead of CP0. As for which one would make the heel turn.... well, the most obvious candidate would be Shaka since he seems to be the leader of the other Punks, but personally, I kinda want to put my money on York. Just imagine, the one Punk whose only apparent purpose is to eat, sleep, and shit for the others turns out to be the evil mastermind! |

But I do like the contrast between Luffy and Bonney. Both their fathers were involved in founding the Revolutionaries and have big appetites (still won't forget balloon-bellied Bonney ^_^), but that's about where the similarities end for those two. |

So let me see if I got Vegapunk's timeline accurate enough:
Childhood: Lacked tools and funds to build inventions on Future Country Baldimore on Karakuri Island Circa Age 32: Extracted Lineage Factor from Kaido to make a Fish Dragon Fruit, before Kaido escaped with King Late 30s: Worked with Caesar, Judge, and Queen in MADS Age 43: Met with Dragon at the Ohara ruins Age 61: Dismissed Caesar shortly before he detonated Punk Hazard with a chemical weapon Age 63: Programmed the mission to protect the Thousand Sunny into Kuma Age 65: Meets Luffy for the first time |
