Not to mention they don’t mess with your capacity for expressing emotion.
Curing a science made poor quality devil fruit wouldnt directly correlate to normal devil fruits, but considering where we are in OPs story, I think there’s a serious chance that it might just because we gotta wrap these story threads up some time soon, right? There's no story reason that we'd need to 'cure' regular devil fruits though. No, but curing fake ones offers the opportunity to go into the mechanics of devil fruits from the sciencey perspective. It might be a way they wind into whatever weird mystical bullshit that Blackbeard does to negate the multi devil fruit drawback. I mean, they could've kept Devil Fruits as more of a magical thing, but I feel like the SMILE story importance means we'll probably get into their more scientific (at least OP scientific) mechanics. Oda has stated a long time ago (back in an SBS in Volume 48) that: Show nested quote +For more detail, you'll just have to wait for a certain professor to make his appearance in the story, and explain exactly what the Devil Fruits REALLY are... Eventually. So we should expect Vegapunk to tell us everything... eventually.
Aren’t we like 80% done with OP though? Not much time left, and SMILE seems like a prime opportunity to get that Devil Fruit exposition from Vegapunk

There's still this entire arc to finish and then Elbaf. Plus Reverie sidestory. Plenty of time to have Vegapunk finally make an appearance after having been mentioned for decades.

i dont think were 80% done yet. honestly with the amount of stuff yet to be revealed and the story/character progression yet to be made, it feels like were only now at 50. luffy still has a long way to go imo

He constantly changes his mind / contradicts himself, as shown here..
Personally, I think that both Kaido and Big Mom will go down in this arc, either by fighting eachother or for some other reason, which will cause a massive power vacuum to form and result in a war.
That leaves us with just Blackbeard and Im, the secret king to deal with. So maybe another 2-3 arcs after this and we're done.

Well now you're hyping it

If One Piece will finish anything like Bleach or Naruto, the last arc will last 4 years.

I fail to see the advantages of being a Brachiosaurus in a fight.

Yeah, and I still don't see it. Neither did Zoro iirc, and he was right!

Giraffe had longer arms and legs. Possibly counteracted by having longer nose.

Zoan fruits basically just give you a size increase, a physical buff and special animal-themed attacks. Bull fruit gives you a charge, Giraffe fruit gives you a strong neck, T Rex fruit gives you a bite, Jaguar fruit gives you claws, Mammoth fruit gives you a powerful trunk, etc.
I guess the long neck dinosaur functions similarly to a Giraffe and T Rex?

To be honest, most of the animal fruits seem pretty useless. Especially ones where the transformer loses the abilty to wield weapons. What did transforming into a Mammoth do for Jack? Flying seem to be the most useful common ability from a zoan fruit. Kaido seems to be the sole exception being able to turn hundreds of times larger, fly, and with a giant laser beam. But we don't know if Kaido can't fly or shoot giant laser beams from his mouth normally anyways.

Any of you see that Color Page for the upcoming movie. Gave us a look a Post-Timeskip Buggy and Rob Lucci! Buggy is huge in it lol

I bet he's fooled his crew into thinking he's a giant by cutting his arms off and floating his small self in what amounts to a big red bed sheet.
So Buggy, so good.
Also, Queens introduction as the Brachiosaurus is definitely a big throbbing penis, noone can draw what was drawn and not see what they've done...
Overall fantastic chapter, hate breaks, especially when I want to see Big Mom spank Queen into the dirt and go on a food rampage.
