Maybe, unless Yamato's "Oni Princess" comment is elaborated on.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

@Captain-M Reading your reviews/thoughts is far better than watching any YouTuber at this point. I enjoy them every week but never really say anything, so I just want you to know how much I appreciate them.
Onto the chapter. As a Law mega-fan, I was incredibly sad to see him separate from the Straw Hats at the end of Wano, only because I didn't think we'd see him in the story for quite some time, so this chapter really was a treat. I'm not so naive as to think we'll cut to Law in particular too often, but it did feel like Oda was setting things up for him in Wano that would lead to reasons for us to pay attention to what he's doing even after exiting the main storyline (which, from an editor's standpoint would make sense given Law's overwhelming popularily, particularly among Japanese readers). For one, it sure seemed like Law knew who Kid was talking about when Kid mentioned "The one with the burn scar" (and Robin noticed), so if anyone is going to find the last Road (Lode?) Poneglyph outside of the Straw Hats, my money's on Law. Fairly certain we won't be seeing much of his fight with Blackbeard though. I'd also be surprised if he bested Teach, since Law's the only one on his crew really worth a damn in terms of combat, but I don't think he'll be outright defeated. I predict that he'll get away, or the fight will be interrupted by the likes of maybe Sword (possibly including Drake), or even the Big Mom Pirates if the cover story is indeed pointing in that direction, giving the Heart pirates the opportunity to escape. There's also history between Koby and Law from the oft-referred to Rocky Port incident, so a lot could be potentially lining up here.

Law must have only 2 rubbings: the minks and Kaido’s. I don’t think the strawhats had to share big mom’s with him. Did he even knows that they had big mom’s?.
There's no way he didn't know that they got one from WCI with how closely he was working with the crew at that point. They didn't have to share it with him, but given his situation with Robin, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
Imagine Brook didn’t sign the copies he made, so nobody except Robin would know which is the right one.
@Bugs said in Chapter 1063: My Only Family:
John Auger is the name of an actual pirate. This occurred before Oda revealed his preferred spelling; but it's been so long since either that Viz forgot or they decided to just go with Oda's and hope no one really cares.
Auger was pretty clearly always incorrect though; for one thing, contemporary accounts of the real man consistently spelled it Augur and I'm not really sure where the alternate spelling comes from.
More importantly is that augury was divination of the future, in particular through the movement of birds or by killing them and examining their corpses, which is exactly how he was introduced into the series.
The switch to another place is indeed something new. And also I understand Oda needs to advance his non Strawhat plot threads in order to advance toward the end of serie, but this can be indigest if used to many.
We finally had a time to focus on the crew on a small island but Oda already choosed to split Vegapunk in 7 and now we focus on other places.
So I will wait how he will proceed next to see if I enjoy it or not. This can also be one thing which is better when read in volumes
On the egghead part, I'm curious about the people we see. I'm not sure they are real people as they behave very strangely. They do not talk, the mess the PX is making does not seem to perturb them (no scream, no reaction). I would not be surprised if Vegapunk was the only one here
This Chapter was a very good set-up chapter.
Oda confirmed this week what and who BB was after, the poneglyphs and possible Pudding, those are some big pay offs in a single chapter.
Though the kidnapping of Pudding is only teased in the cover story, she might be rescued but who knows what Oda has in store for us.
Law meeting BB, is not I was expecting to happen any time soon. It's possible that all three people who were involved in the Rocky Port incidence are close by, assuming Koby is with BB and not somewhere else. At this point I expect either some more information on it in the manga, as a small flash back, in the anime as canon filler or as a separate One Piece novel.
The shenanigans on Egghead are funny, and did Oda just fat shame Jinbe?
Bonney has some father issues as expected, but shouldn't she be aware that her real father was at Reverie and was already rescued by the revolutionaries?
Luffy rescuing yet another princes, who would have thought that?

Judging by the labels on their clothes (petrology, language, history, ...), I wouldn't be surprised if they were externalized thought processes / walking databases: the same way Vegapunk split himself into 6 people, he may have built highly specialized cyborg helpers each tasked with a specific subject that let him get his mind off that given topic.

4 BB Pirates left when it comes to fully revealing their abilities. Will each have a DF, idk. 5 if counting the mystery captain. As BlackbeardPirates mentioned on the other page, comic book abilities. They fit the bad guy crew so well.
Just imagine having to try and escape a submission move from Burgess. I can see multiple counters to someone with so much force and strength. Oda can also stack sickness that are known to create certain disease. On the flip side, that can be the limitation. If he's targeting multiple characters, he can't stack. I'm bias and already like the warping more than the others. More because of who got it than the ability itself.
Yeah, i'm not trusting those clothes for now. Probably collecting their data without permission.
2 SBS from now, need to know which BB Pirate killed someone for their DF ability and which ones just ate a DF.
Jinbe is such a sweet soul. He is so unbothered and enjoying the moment. Just a pleasant energy to be around. Rarely snaps at anyone and if he does, it's justified.
I just realized reading your post Shaka could want DNA samples of the SHs to make more Seraphim. That'd be wild.

Actually since Kuma stepped down, it raises the suggestion if Bonney stayed at Sorbet for a time and became a Queen. Makes me wonder.

So ? From his point of view, he would be making powerful Seraphims to protect innocent civilians from the misdeeds of nasty pirates. No contradictions there.
(Not that I would want to see StrawHat Seraphims. The natural rate of story cluttering is high enough as it is.)

edit: and omg hahaha Blackbeard is awesome. What a sleazy scavenger hyena motherfucker.
I think we have Elbaf, Raftel and war left. So potential for 3 princesses. Although I imagine Elbaf will be the last new one.
@Seafarer33 Their is a contradiction, as while the Seraphim might be used for good, their creation is not.
You would think the good Vegapunk would see that and oppose their creation.
@zorosempai said in Chapter 1063: My Only Family:
Did sabo fuck up burgess's face or why he wears that mask on half of his face.
Hasn't Burgess always worn a mask? He's based on a luchador wrestler and they wear those kind of masks.
Looks more like a metal mask to me than a luchador mask tbh
Looking at Black Beard you get such an old school, stereotypical idea of what a pirate looks like. I like to think because of his age he dresses more like the pirates he was exposed to growing up. When we first met the White Beard allies their style of dressed certainly gave the vibe of typical pirate. Then I saw the colors in the anime...
I love when end bosses end up with seemingly simple abilities but are then used in ways that rival just stupidly haxed powers. I'm expecting Burgess to enhance the strength of his own muscles, inanimate materials like weapons, medications and smells. Von Auger will probably be able to shoot bullets and instantly teleport them from all kinds of crazy angles. Teleporting an enemies fire to rain back at them or just teleporting the enemy themselves to strike their allies. Doq Q and Stronger hmmm I really don't know beyond surface implication.
Something about the characters acknowledging that Jinbe's a big hunk a'cheese is very funny and satisfying.
It is ironic that in a series who became infamous for the overuse of the word "Nakama", that it's Blackbeard who is the one Captain who fights the best with his crewmates, even if it's because they're like a jackal pack.
BB crew one step closer to be extras in The Baron Munchausen movie
@danie said in Chapter 1063: My Only Family:

In truth, we as readers don't have any hard facts telling that their creation process involves anything bad.
In early research King / Alber was submitted to torture, but if this was even related to Seraphim, it was probably long before Vegapunk split himself (so no Shaka to oppose anything) and even then, Vegapunk may have been the one conducting the experiments.
As for creating the Seraphim we assume that genetic tinkering and programming living beings into thoughtless machines are involved - which admittedly isn't science at its best. But Vegapunk, even his "good" aspect, may see it differently. And he certainly doesn't mind the result, judging by how many Pacifistas and other weaponized sea beasts have seen the light of day. So far Shaka verbally opposed plundering, but he didn't say anything about experimentation on living beings...
Maybe we will hear more from Shaka in the future though, and this could change my perspective on all of this.
@Seafarer33 I mean, we really don't how Shaka feels about anything you mentioned... I'm just talking about the Seraphim.
They are a living mess of a concoction(gigantified lunarian children clones?) that is meant to replace the warlords. Actual "government dogs" that will just do what they are told. A character who is supposed to be "good" should definitely see their is something very wrong with that and oppose it!
@danie If your argument is that Seraphim are a sick messed-up concept, then yes, going by real-world morals we definitely agree.
I'm much less certain, however, how "good" characters in the One Piece world consider them. Cobby didn't seem to have any qualms using one in battle. As for "good" Vegapunk...As you say, we really don't know how he feels and we don't know his subjective definition of "good" either. He created the original Seraphim, there's nothing stopping him from continuing with a new set of genes. (again, that is not something I wish to see happen. But, I'm just saying it could)
Oda said he was going to start what would be the One Piece if our heroes leave Wano. I believe showcasing the goings on in the world with Blackbeard and other players is a big part of that and he's planning to have a huge moment by the end of Egghead.
I would prefer the events to remain in one island however that always end up with skipping everything else outside as if the globe revolves only around the dumb and boring sh crew
Atlas was corrected, There is no need to wait few months for the fix, That is just absurd with how it has been in the past, However Oda did mess up because her design has 6 all over it
It would've been best if he corrected Kaku's panel and swapped the sixth with the fifth, Ha and people calls him a genius lmao.
I've read the fan scans once and the official 3 times. This is my 1st time noticing Kuma has glasses on lol
