The One Piece manga is making a lot of shocking revelations as the Egghead Island arc comes to an end. In chapter 1116, Dr. Vegapunk reveals to the world that the Roger Pirates learned the truth about what happened in the Void Century, but remained silent.
This reveal is followed by a panel showing Akainu in Marine headquarters and saying: “Are you really going to tell them everything, Vegapunk?”. This puzzling scene leads fans to believe that Akainu knows more information about the Void Century and the One Piece treasure than previously thought.
This detail is a big surprise, because the World Government is always determined to keep everything about the Void Century a secret, even the Celestial Dragons, not everyone knows this secret.
However, one eagle-eyed fan noticed nuances between Akainu's original Japanese dialogue and the English translation. According to them, Akainu's words in Japanese have an insulting connotation, subtly changing the meaning of the statement. With another translation, it can also be understood as: “You will tell everything, Vegapunk?”.
The current fleet admiral's reaction to Vegapunk's message may also be a hint, suggesting that the red dog only knows a small part of the truth of the Void Century, instead of knowing the entire truth of the world like Roger and his crew made a discovery. Akainu is frustrated because Vegapunk knows what he doesn't know.
The truth is unclear, but this is continuing to cause controversy in the fan community, because this is a case where the statement can be interpreted into many different meanings. One Piece fans are currently speculating to find different meanings in Akainu's words.
One netizen wrote: “Do you think that was simply Akainu's reaction when Vegapunk talked about the Ancient Weapons? We know that most marine soldiers know about the Ancient Weapons and try their best to keep them a secret.” rumors about that weapon to the people. Yet Vegapunk said all those things that made Akainu angry. That's how I see it.”
Another person said: “I understand that he was angry because he wasn't informed about it and he wanted to know everything about it.”
While there are many interpretations of Akainu's line, the true meaning of it will only be revealed once One Piece returns from hiatus. Chapter 1117 will be released next week, on June 16, 2024.
