This week, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the two most recent chapters of the One Piece manga, titled “RPG” and “Livedolls.” One Piece 1128-1129 are 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 1128-1129 (Spoilers!):

• What's the significance of Elbaph gods versus Skypiea gods?
• What makes Luffy Luffy even after all these years?
• Do these recent chapters feel a bit too much like filler?
• How do we feel about Luffy's mastery of his devil fruit?
• OK, but are we actually in Elbaph??
