Miss Buckingham Stussy

No description for this page.

At Egghead, Lucci reacts to Stussy's betrayal while Kaku lies collapsed. Lucci growls, "Kaku!!" and says, "This is a bitter pill to swallow..." Stussy responds with "Paper Arts: Heartbreak After Image!!" and tells him that when he does not understand something, his first instinct is to go for the kill. Lucci attacks an afterimage, but Stussy calmly steps aside, saying, "My, my..." and prepares her lipstick. The scene makes clear that Stussy is not simply fleeing; she is deliberately neutralizing both CP0 agents.

Stussy reveals the trick behind her ambush. Lucci notices the lipstick and realizes, "Sea-stone?" Stussy taps him and says, "You're so wild," before biting him with a "Chomp!!" Lucci staggers, coughing "Koo koo!!" and snarls, "You bitch..." as Stussy says she knows how strong the boys are and that fighting him fair and square would have been stupid. Explosions continue around the Labostratum while she apologizes, "Forgive me," and the betrayal removes both Kaku and Lucci from the immediate fight.

The Vegapunks and Straw Hats look down in shock as CP0 agents lie unconscious. Someone asks why the CP0 agents are at each other's throats, and Stussy calls in: "This is Stussy. I put them both to sleep." The lab erupts with relief, shouting that Stussy came through, while York is told to pull herself together. The satellites are amazed that Rob Lucci was beaten. Shaka explains that Stussy's loyalty was kept secret even after she spent twenty years as one of the intelligence agents. Someone asks whether Vegapunk had a mole in the intelligence branch, and Shaka says it was not their intention but that is how it turned out.

Stussy warns the doctor that her authority level is the same as Lucci's, so she cannot override his orders and stop the Seraphim. The Seraphim keep attacking the lab, and Nami tells Stussy she has already done plenty because they are on their way. Zoro and Brook move to stop the Seraphim before they flatten everyone. Zoro asks whether those kids look familiar, and Sanji, seeing the Seraphim versions of the Warlords, says he knows exactly who they resemble, especially one of them. The group realizes they need to stop the destructive brats quickly before the lab is ruined.

The Seraphim keep blasting holes in the lab, and someone says they will not stop. Edison rushes out despite the danger, saying they can use the extra exits to get out faster. Lilith announces, "Aaaaand I'm out!" as she moves to command the Seraphim. Edison calls, "Seraphim, listen--!!" but the battle erupts around him before he can finish. S-Hawk suddenly clashes with Zoro, and Zoro looks surprised as he gets a close look at the Seraphim. The situation remains unstable because the Vegapunks need to speak direct orders before the Seraphim can be brought under control.

Zoro blocks S-Hawk's slash in a violent clash. After seeing him up close, Zoro says there actually is a spark of humanity in there, but still asks, "What the hell are you?!" The exchange shocks Edison, who tells Zoro to leave the Seraphim to him. S-Hawk's power and Mihawk-like swordsmanship are both apparent, and Zoro's reaction shows that the Seraphim is neither a normal machine nor an ordinary child. The page holds on the eerie humanity and danger inside the artificial Warlord weapon.

Edison shouts, "Seraphim!! Stop fighting immediately!!" just as a blast lands near him with a huge "Ka-boom!!" Lilith cries out for Edison, while Nami says there is no way he can be okay. The smoke clears and Edison has barely avoided disaster: Sanji suddenly appears beside him, tapping the ground and saying, "You looking for this?" Edison thanks him, while Lilith laughs that it was close. The Seraphim finally listen to the direct order, ending the immediate destruction at the last possible moment.

With the Seraphim stopped, Shaka reports that he has bound Lucci and Kaku with Seastone. Someone asks what the Seraphim are, and the crew prepares to leave Egghead. Shaka thanks Stussy, saying they are leaving the island and she should come with them. Stussy understands but warns they cannot keep adding people. Luffy calls for Bonney and asks where she went, and then shouts for old man Punk because they cannot leave without him. A caption reveals the problem: an unexpected development has occurred, and Dr. Vegapunk's main body, the Stella, has vanished.

The scene shifts to Sphinx in the New World, Whitebeard's hometown. Marco returns and the children call out to him. They apologize for leaving him in such a bad spot, saying there were Marines all over the place. Some children say it was scary, while another insists they were not scared. Marco tells them it is not their fault. The villagers describe the Marines as meanies who were there for Whitebeard's treasure, just like pirates, and Marco listens grimly as he learns what happened while he was away.

A flashback shows Marines raiding Sphinx because the place is not government affiliated. They say the villagers have no legal rights there and threaten to consider resistance an act of defiance. When the villagers protest that Whitebeard must have kept his treasure there, the Marines accuse them of acting tough only when Marco is not around and point guns at Whitebeard's "little brother." The old woman is grabbed as people beg the Marines to stop, calling her just an old lady. The scene shows the village helpless under government force.

Edward Weevil arrives and smashes the Marines aside, shouting, "Stay away from pappy's home!!" The villagers cry out that it is Edward and Captain Ratel as Weevil wrecks the attackers and protects Sphinx. His strength drives the Marines into panic, and the village is saved from the raid. The children and villagers remember him as the one who stepped in when Marco was absent, defending Whitebeard's home with overwhelming force.

The Marines explain that warships were meant to hunt down the Warlords now that they are disbanded, but Weevil appeared at Sphinx. They lose contact with another squad, shouting that Weevil got them all and calling him a bona fide monster. A ship requests immediate assistance. Back in the present, the villagers tell Marco that if Weevil had not shown up, the village would be toast, and Marco calls him a hero because they are all safe. Miss Buckin interrupts, saying that was not the end of it and asking who Marco thinks the Marines sent in after that call for backup.

Miss Buckin reveals that the backup was none other than Admiral Ryokugyu and that he was not pulling any punches. She demands that Marco get her beloved son Weevil back and also fork over Newgate's inheritance. She is identified as Miss Buckin, Buckingham Stussy, MADS' resident freeloader and a former member of the Rocks Pirates who calls herself a scientist. Marco says he can hear in her tone that she still doubts Weevil is Whitebeard's son. Miss Buckin says she knows someone who can prove it: Dr. Vegapunk. She also says Weevil was sent to prison for protecting his father's village, while Marco thanks the village for protecting the place at least.

On a World Government ship at sea, a Marine tells Kizaru that snacks and tea have been prepared for their guest. Kizaru asks whether the food has been tested for poison, and the Marine confirms it has. Kizaru says he will take it to the guest and dismisses the guard. Inside, he asks the elder whether he has ever met Dr. Vegapunk before. The elder answers, "Once... a long time ago..." and adds that what is happening now is truly such a shame. He is introduced as one of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world: Saint Jay Garcia Saturn. The caption notes that one of the bigwigs finally makes a move.
