It was cool seeing the islands he sent the Strawhats to! Seems he really did had a purpose in doing so.

This chapter sure is thrilling! I wonder how the mystery of Bonney's connection to everyone will unfold.

I've been having trouble finding words for this chapter. I both enjoy and hate this chapter for the same reasons. It's a good chapter, but like damn... Poor Ginny, poor Kuma even.

I got spoiled with Caribou showing up from one of Tekking's thumbnails, but the context of him in the chapter still thankfully surprised me.

I love Kizaru's comment towards Sanji!

I am interested in the silhouette that with Imu.

I love the double twist that the 5 elders may actually be human, just granted longer lives/abilities.

Given what I remember of Garling, him replacing Saturn feels like a new CEO who is not familiar with what they're in charge of. Like their title is just a title and they just have a general idea. Though this assumption is just based on what we've seen from him, they could certainly be quite knowledgeable on the subject.

The Marines are pirates now /s

I wonder how many of them have doubts towards their government.

Gol D. Roger's name started the meme. Yet Clou D. Clover continues it, officially, wow.

Luffy not knowing he's "joyboy" is adorable lol

I love the team rocket gag.

I was glad that the transponder snail came back online in the water, away from the fight! I wouldn't be surprised if the five elders could deal with the sea regardless though. Then the robot came back to the fight anyway, back to the message being at risk smh...

OUR BOY FOXY BACK IN THE MANGA. Looks like they lost a bunch of Davy Back fights.

I didn't catch onto the fact Demalo Black's crew were disguising as Kid pirates. until I saw these comments, oops. I was like, "Are the former fake Straw Hats interacting with a somewhat dead Kid who was rescued but captured?" lol...

I'm going to laugh if Yamato's journey makes her want to stay on Wano even more.

Interesting how only Saturn showed up in a hybrid-looking form compared to the others. V. Nusjuro possibly showing it later in the chapter.

possible Brook matchup with V. Nusjuro, or an excuse for Zoro to fight Not-Brook?

Was that Zoro's reaction towards hearing Sanji, lmao.

Chapter sure ends in a happy note.

Cover series is finally back yay!

Unfortunate that the message is being dragged out.

The rest of the elders showing up??

@Deicide said in Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 10 - Egghead):

Honestly, when Yamato was talking about joining the crew in the second chapter after his introduction, I felt it was a huge red flag already.

First, because it was very unlike Oda's style. He likes to keep readers guessing until the very last moment.

Second, because it felt like a cheap attempt to make people care for the character. Instead of slowly building Yamato up with the usual drip-feeding of information, he front-loaded most of Yamato's story, and just telling, rather than showing, it. Then Oda used the next crewmate card to say "this character is important, he matters, so keep an eye on him".

@Dragon-D-Luffy said in Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 10 - Egghead):

Honestly, Yamato feels like some self-insert fanfic character. Appears suddenly in the middle of the arc with no setup and announces he will join the main cast. Has a very stylish appearance, a cool LGBT identity that everyone respects, including his evil dad. Is related to the main villain and uses his moves, but is also connected to the arc's lead mentor figure, and also to Ace. Knows Luffy's dream. Has a mystic devil fruit, which is cute but also badass.

I'm gonna make a guess and say someone close to Oda requested to have their fan character added and that's how we got Yamato. Probably one of Oda's daughters.

While I don't actually believe it is the case (or rather not want to) - remembering about the one editor that loved Carrot, I can't help but think the same, if not similar thing happened with Yamato.
