CHAPTER 1105 SPOILER BELOW!

It never fails to make me giggle seeing how it's always Nami or Sanji the ones making sure Zoro doesn't get lost.

Quick speculation from Chapter 1105

Okay so somebody's on their way to Egghead right now. Needless to say I'm curious as to who the fuck that could even be

A) Blackbeard and/or his crew I mean one of BB's ships is already there. On one hand, it could be just a vague reminder to us that the ship is there meaning those crew members could be making their way to the island. On the other hand, we know the ship is already there, so why be so vague about it? Alternatively, it could about BB himself, that he could be on his way to see what the fuzz is about and/or to try to bargain with the Marines with Garp's bounty? (Wild but okay)

B) Strawhat Grand Fleet Saw a few people suggest this, and like, sure, if you wanted to have a giant battle between the Grand Fleet and the Marines, why not. I'm not entirely sure what this would achieve aside from protecting Egghead from getting wiped out (which wouldn't be bad mind you, especially considdering a considderable portion of the island is literally just Vegapunk's fucking BRAIN) (Like??? IS HE GONNA DIE IF HIS BRAIN GETS DESTROYED???), but it's an option

C) Cross Guild The absolute wild card option? I think it would be funny as hell if those idiots somehow showed up there? But I'm not entirely sure when Buggy started his mutiny (like was the day before or like a few days ago??), depending on when that took place then it could make no sense for CG to arrive on Egghead that soon. Also why would they come to Egghead? Like unless one of the needless of the Log Pose from Emptee Bluffs happened to point to Egghead then. Yeah, how and why would they ever get there. I dunno man, I think it could be the funniest option for who could be on their way to the island. Especially if Crocodad Real. (Also this would give us an opportunity to see Caribou fall into Crocodile's hand and leak the info on the Ancient Weapons to him but I'm still more convinced Caribou's working for BB) But yeah this is the most unlikely option.

D) Dragon and/or the Revs Narratively speaking, this is without a doubt the most logical conclusion. Kuma's backstory was heavily about his ties to the Rev Army, so the gang coming to his aid at his time of need (and when the Government is about to wipe out an entire island after already killing most of its innocent inhabitants (who attempted to flee)), yeah, the Revolutionaries would make sense. Plus it's been kind of set-up already, with both that phone call Vegapunk made to Dragon as well as Dragon speculating with Iva-chan about where Kuma might've gone to. Like, Dragon pursuing Kuma to Egghead would make sense.

Only problem is that Dragon and the Revs are in fucking Paradise on Momoiro Island. They are literally the furtherst away from Egghead from any of our alternatives. So how the fuck could they even get there??? Like unless Dragon (or some other Rev we don't know about) just happens to have an ability that allows the Army to literally fly massive distances at the same speed as Kuma, if not faster... Yeah. There's no way they should be able to get there. To be fair if Dragon is a Wind Logia as many speculate then. I mean even if he couldn't load the army onto a ship and fly them there, he could probably fly to Egghead himself. Maybe. I dunno.

Like Dragon would make the most sense to me. He'd make the most sense narratively, but only if he has a trick he can use for fast travel. Which remains to be seen.

E) Someone else IDK it could be someone else but I can't imagine who else could be on their way. Red Haired Pirates? Kuja Pirates? We know it can't be Law nor Kid at the very least since those two got nuked.

I dunno, I'm curious to see who shows up (hopefully) in the next chapter

CHAPTER 1105 IS HERE OH MY GODD

Egghead: Opposing Force

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the Half-Life series? Come to think of it, HL2 does kinda play with the Urashima Taro setup for Gordon Freeman a lot like the future-flung five doesn't it? It's a common enough starting point. But I love how they do the first one. Half-Life shows you the main story of the hero of the Black Mesa Incident then you get two more games, Opposing Force and Blue Shift that put you in an alternate POV. I've always loved stuff like this, and the serious potential for it stapled to a great character like fair Okiku is a big reason I started to fall for Wano harder than most One Piece arcs. I really didn't think we were gonna top Whole Cake...

I'm rambling. Because unless you're new here you probably know how I feel about this chapter and I don't want to just wave the big finale around unguarded for spoiler purposes. Welp, we all ready?

Here we go! Obviously this is what caught my eye the most. A new challenger appears. We don't have a lot to go on yet but at least a bit. First off the idea they made their entry saving innocents despite potentially giving up some of the element of surprise. The evacuees have had a little time to slip away so I don't know how much the Blackbeard ship last night makes sense but theoretically he or Shanks could have started moving this way. One makes a lot more sense to do a good deed than the other. But of course we're keeping our fingers crossed for an idea that I've been on one about for 25 chapters now. It's the Fleet. I've heard the other ideas, they don't beat the meat the Fleet brings to the table here.

It's always made sense with where we're at in the story. Gain them in Dressrosa, see the might of that operation in WCI, outsource managing it but build a comparable force in Wano, subvert Sabaody through it all coming together. We've trickled them in through these cutaway segments not to mention using little bits to get them invested in the story since the tail end of Totland not to mention their own cover serial. It's a perfect setup, show them wrecking face then flash back to the night before to show how it was set up. Doing it that way means it's also a great opportunity to show someone we didn't know was involved has been around the whole time. Just. Like. Ginny.

Gets me to the title. The Peak of Stupidity. Nice echo of G5 being Luffy's peak and the last Wano opening. Y'all know my extension and how perfect him being trapped outside the Labophase is for moving into something like that is. Especially when he's back at the foodmotron where Bonney's story really took off and took over, notably leading into the scrap heap where we find Robonosuke. As far as the title goes, yeah it's a line from Saturn but it tracks with potentially breaking us away from the peak of stupidity of getting involved in this big mess in the first place. Doubly so if that does come from a nagging figure that may or may not have bailed them out with the end of this chapter.

We've talked about this idea of breaking away from this story we really have nothing to do with. The Straw Hats already know the part of Kuma's story that pertains to them but seeing extra sides of Kuma's life was important to us. Vegapunk just invited himself into their story a lot like a certain son of Kaido. It's not just how suddenly everyone is shooting ahead into very sensible, level-headed objectives all of a sudden. Getting Luffy in this nice little solo "reset" spot where Bonney's story took off right as the Opposing Force emerges? Admittedly it could go a lot of ways but there's one cool thing I noticed:

Think it says a lot about the situation Robin's so calm during a Buster Call. Usopp is always freaking out about something, and sure Robin's grown a lot but the mere idea of a Buster Call once rattled her. That's the part of this that really makes me wonder if deep down they know someone has a steady hand on all this already. Especially when everyone is moving so much more smartly all of a sudden. What even happened to Robin in the first place is something we still need to learn about last night. She was the one heading straight to York without knowing she was the traitor yet. But this is that little extra nugget beyond the big obvious way everything I've wondered is falling into place. The thing that makes me think this isn't going to be a surprise to the Straw Hats. On top of the "saving innocents" angle I mean.

Well, that and...

"With your feet on the air and your head on the ground..."

Am I the only one getting a mild Fight Club vibe out of Vegapunk here? Maybe a stretch but this scene sure isn't. I love it, coming to the realization you have a hand in all of this as your future land crumbles. Fits the way I've always seen him as somewhat an extension of Oden all to well. Sanji & Franky are involved trying to evacuate of course, but seeing the collapse around most of the Straw Hats shaping up and getting ready to take advantage of the Opposing Force's arrival? Beautiful.
