Discussion Points for One Piece 1119 (Spoilers!):

• Emet, Emeto, or something else entirely?! Hebrew?!
• Vegapunk's message has to be finishing up soon, right? Will it be one last revelation about the Will of D?
• Sanji tells Bonney "captain's order," which means Jon gets to gloat about his Bonney for Straw Hats propaganda, yes?
• Bonney using is Haki is FINE, why are people annoyed?!
• Does Franky have Haki?
• Do we have Haki?
• What is the "right time" for Emet to...do what? Is Jon's theory about Emet meeting up with Joy Boy 200 years ago still valid?
• Where does Stussy go next? To Big News Morgan and/or the underworld?
• If Atlas dies next, could Lilith and York be our good/evil remnants of Vegapunk?

This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “The Most Free,” which has pretty much broken the fandom even more-so than a certain pirate's devil fruit. One Piece 1118 is currently available to read for free on Viz.

We want your feedback! If you have any questions, corrections, or your own theories and speculation, you can either email us ([email protected]) or join our Discord, where we have a special channel devoted to all things One Piece spoilers! 

Discussion Points for One Piece 1118 (Spoilers!):

• OK. How can anyone not see Bonney joining the Straw Hats at THIS point?! Jon affirms the best arguments for this and Travis adds how Bonney's full arc/emotional catharsis mirrors the other Straw Hats joining.
• Major congrats to Hippo in the Discord for calling Bonney's turning into Nika!! Here are your flowers:
• (Listener question) Could Blackbeard be after Luffy's fruit?
• How does Bonney's Nika form really work? We agree that Haki is a major factor and Jon suggests Bonney won't be able to maintain the form for a long time
• Jon predicts that the Iron Giant will reawaken and join the fight, and the broadcast will thus continue
• Travis is confident that Bonney's power is her devil fruit awakening, not Luffy's fruit awakening and affecting her.
• Travis waxes poetic about Oda always centering children and their imagination in the story, so this is well-foreshadowed.
• Jon speculates that the Iron Giant's internal thoughts are about trying to find Joy Boy at Marijoa.
• (Listener question) What really caused that earthquake? Was it Luffy turning into Nika and making the ocean rubbery? Jon suggests that the Drums of Liberation causing the Giants to dance is what causes all this, and Travis predicts that this will help the Thousand Sunny land safely.
• Jon and Travis agree that we're chapters away from the end of the arc, though Jon suggests that we might have more "world check-in" time than usual before getting to Elbaf.
