Saint Saturn's Judgment
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn stands over Dr. Vegapunk, monstrous and transformed. His deep voice condemns those who seek forbidden truths and carry the blood of ancient, lost races. Flashes of Bartholomew Kuma and Monkey D. Luffy illustrate the targets of this wrath, showing the far reach of his fury. Saturn's single glowing red eye promises annihilation for all who defy the established order. This is the moment the true threat reveals itself, not just as a man, but as an ancient, unyielding force.
The Buster Call Activated
A dramatic title card announces the 'Buster Call,' a chilling declaration over images of intense flames. A booming voice echoes, commanding every battleship to prepare for an immediate bombardment of Egghead Island. The screen pulses with fiery energy, a visual testament to the catastrophe unfolding. This moment isn't just an order, it's the seal on a death warrant.
Vegapunk's Plea, Saturn's Decree
Dr. Vegapunk, his signature distraught expression visible, desperately begs Saturn to halt the attack. He argues that Egghead represents humanity's scientific pinnacle, a future worth saving. Saturn dismisses his pleas with cold indifference, declaring the island a nuisance to the World Government's absolute authority. Kizaru watches silently, a stoic observer to the destruction of progress. For Saturn, human advancement means nothing if it threatens the celestial dragons' power.
The Fleet Mobilizes
Chaos erupts across Egghead as Marine soldiers receive urgent orders to evacuate the island. They scramble through futuristic cityscapes, past advanced buildings and tropical plants, racing towards the coast. In the waters surrounding the island, a vast Marine fleet forms a tight blockade. Cannons pivot, aiming at the heart of the laboratory, a visible threat of total annihilation.
Escape Under Fire
Sanji leads Jewelry Bonney and Atlas, who is carrying the massive, injured body of Bartholomew Kuma. Bonney's face is scratched and shows deep worry, but Sanji offers a confident thumbs-up, vowing to protect her. Nami's frantic voice cuts through the Den Den Mushi, detailing the dire situation and the approaching Marine ships. The first distant sounds of bombardment begin, a terrifying soundtrack to their desperate escape.
EPISODE REVIEWS

The episode dragged a lot with way too many reaction shots and it felt like they were just trying to stretch one chapter into twenty minutes

Vegapunk looked so small and broken when he was crying for Saturn to spare the technology and it makes the world government look even more evil

I hate that the new opening is full of massive spoilers for the manga because it makes it impossible to enjoy the new song without seeing stuff I was not supposed to know yet
