This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “A,” or "also" or "another" depending on the translation. One Piece 1117 is currently available to read for free on Viz.

We want your feedback! If you have any questions, corrections, or your own theories and speculation, you can either email us (rookiepirateradio@gmail.com) or join our Discord, where we have a special channel devoted to all things One Piece spoilers! 

Discussion Points for One Piece 1117 (Spoilers!):

• What does the name of this chapter actually mean?
• Why has Yamato STILL not left the Flower Capital in the cover story?
• Will Vegapunk's message continue?
• Is the Iron Giant down for the count?
• Is that really Don Krieg, Gin, and Pearl on Hachinosu? How? Why? Why?!
• Is this really the end of the arc? Should we expect a big standoff with Bonney and Luffy now that the Gorosei have stopped the message?
• What is the connection between Nusjuro of the Gorosei and the Kitetsu blades?
• (Jon's theory) Could the Iron Giant have gone to try and save Joy Boy (or execute him) 200 years ago when he last woke up, meaning Joy Boy was imprisoned for centuries to keep his devil fruit out of play?
