The exciting adventures in One Piece 1066 never stop. Watch out for the latest chapter of your favorite manga online only here. Fresh from release and free.The first revelations about the Great Kingdom and the Void Century is out, two mysteries that have haunted the series for decades, completely changing the landscape of the One Piece world and its history. The world of One Piece has a unique feel to it, which makes it pretty hard to categorize. The majority of fans always assumed that it was a fantasy version of the pirate age, but since the early stages of the story, there have been elements of advanced technology such as telephones, cyborgs, and laser beams, which seemed strangely out of place. Most of these inventions were attributed to the work of one genius scientist, Dr. Vegapunk, which made them fit more easily into the setting. However, now that Vegapunk has finally appeared in the manga, he has confessed that, rather than a futurist, he can be described as an archeologist.
One Piece 1066: the Great Kingdom
As this mysterious civilization has been mentioned several times in the series, in relation to the Void Century, a century-long gap in recorded and archeological history, the study of which is forbidden by the World Government. It's a common belief that the Void Century holds the keys to all the mysteries in One Piece, but no one would have ever expected that the first, big revelation would have been that the series is actually set in a post-apocalyptic world. The Great Kingdom was destroyed by the countries that would later form the World Government, but if that civilization was so advanced it means that its downfall plunged the world into an era of technological regress. This is a classic trope for post-apocalyptic sci-fi settings, but no one would have ever expected that it applied to One Piece too. Considering who was responsible for the end of the Great Kingdom, then, it's not a coincidence that the most advanced technology available belongs to the Navy and the World Government, including, perhaps, the Ancient Weapon Uranus, capable of leveling an entire country in an instant. It's hard to predict how this revelation about the Great Kingdom will impact the future of the series, but it's certain that the world of One Piece will never look the same again.
One Piece 1066:The Real Vegapunk
When Franky shoots Seraphim with a beam, we see Lilith with Edison Vegapunk, where the former is furious about Seraphim getting hit by a beam as it is still in development. Edison gathers data from this fight and asks Vegapunk Pythagoras to make a blueprint and Vegapunk York to eat for them.
Then we see Shakka appear with York on the ground, where the latter lays down on the ground and takes a nap. Shakka greets the Straw Hats, who are stuck to the ground due to the boots they are wearing, and says that he did it because he does not trust pirates. Shakka further asks if they think this is an island of the future. Excited, Franky says that it is beyond the future and he has things unlike things he has seen before. However, Shakka tells them it is quite the contrary, as this island is of the past rather than the future.
It is similar to a Highly advanced kingdom, unlike Egghead, which is a civilization from 900 years ago. A sequence of the last part also shows that Luffy and others see a gigantic ancient robot.
