One Piece Chapter 1122 “Time is Right” Changes Everything
----- ADS-----
For some time now, the One Piece manga has experienced some slow pacing and same-y chapters, with many chapters in a row striving to juggle the ongoing battle for Future Island/Egghead and Dr. Vegapunk’s lengthy video message to the entire world. While that juggled narrative did move the story forward, it had some remarkably slow pacing, and juggling those two things did not always work out so well. Chapter 1122 is changing all that, with new plot twists ending Dr. Vegapunk’s message and suddenly bringing an end to the battle for Future Island.
By now, Dr. Vegapunk’s exposition message has delivered all the shocking news it has to offer — no major secrets will be revealed at this time. That’s why it is no big deal for the video transponder snail in Emet to go permanently dark as the iron giant makes its final stand against the Five Elders with its sacrifice play, and it’s just in time to help the manga move on to its next phase. The visit to Future Island has been great fun, but now One Piece readers are about to say goodbye, all while the race for the One Piece starts to heat up. Major parties all strive to either seize Gol D. Roger’s famed treasure or keep them from reaching it, and that’s definitely something to look forward to.
Chapter 1122 does what many chapters of One Piece do: take a few pages to show what some secondary parties in the world are doing while Plot A continues. Other recent chapters also did this, as many people around the world reacted to Dr. Vegapunk’s warning about the sinking world, but Chapter 1122 takes it further with parties, including Koby, Admiral Blackbeard, and the Cross Guild organization. The three of them are either probably or definitely going to get involved in the race to Laugh Tale and the waiting One Piece treasure, and it’s enticing to see. Interestingly, it’s Admiral Blackbeard who’s the most cryptic about this, since his scene actually reveals very little more about what he’s going to do next. Instead, his brief scene shows the rogue Caribou getting ready to share information with Blackbeard, at the risk of getting shot if his message isn’t deemed worthwhile.
