One Piece: Chapter 1113 – Eiichiro Oda’s Masterful Portrayal of Side Characters

Two unscrupulous individuals react to the death of scientist Vegapunk

As the broadcast that was set to air upon Vegapunk’s death finally commenced, individuals from all corners of the globe tuned in, eagerly anticipating the scientist’s final message. Vegapunk began by confessing to two serious transgressions that he knew would result in his execution. With this in mind, he programmed the message to begin broadcasting at his last heartbeat.

The shocking words from Vegapunk, which essentially hinted at his demise, left the audience stunned. Several secondary characters, including Duval, Morgans, Judge Vinsmoke, and Caesar Clown, could be seen reacting to the news. Among them, Morgans and Caesar were particularly taken aback by the announcement.

With tears streaming down his face, Caesar exclaimed:

“You’ve gotta be kidding me!!! We’re here trying to drag you off your ivory throne, and you…! !”

Morgans remarked:

“You can’t just give away the story to the entire world! How am I going to sell my papers!?”

Oda’s portrayal of Caesar and Morgans in a single panel

Undoubtedly, Morgans and Caesar hold secondary roles in the series, and their responses to Vegapunk’s passing are insignificant scenes with minimal impact. In all honesty, those particular panels were included merely to occupy space within the chapter.

Despite this, Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, still managed to showcase his exceptional writing abilities through his brilliant portrayal of the two characters. By blending the intense drama of Vegapunk’s death and shocking revelations with the comical reactions of Morgans and Caesar, the mangaka once again proved his storytelling prowess.

Despite his reputation as a mad and remorseless evil scientist, Caesar surprised everyone by shedding tears – the last thing his fans would have expected. Known for his psychopathic tendencies, he takes pleasure in creating weapons of mass destruction, drugging children, and conducting sick experiments on them.

Despite his cruel actions and egoistic tendencies, Caesar is frequently the target of jokes, leading to his portrayal as a comic relief character in the series. In chapter 1113, the author effectively captures Caesar’s inhumane yet humorous personality in one panel, as he supposedly sheds tears over the passing of his colleague, Vegapunk.

Previously, Vegapunk, Caesar, Queen, Judge Vinsmoke, and Miss Buckingham Stussy were all members of MADS, an unapproved research team. As the second most skilled scientist in the group, Caesar developed a resentment towards Vegapunk.

Caesar’s grudge grew even more when, some years later, Vegapunk exposed his illicit behavior and had him expelled from the World Government’s research team. With both of them now sharing a common enemy, Caesar eventually joined forces with Judge.

Despite their previous conflicts, the two set aside their disagreements and joined forces to establish NEO MADS with the goal of surpassing Vegapunk. Therefore, Caesar was incredibly upset to learn that his former colleague and rival had passed away before they could achieve their goal. As seen in One Piece chapter 1113, Caesar’s emotional outburst serves as a prime example of his repulsive behavior.

It could be argued that the sentiment holds true for “Big News”Morgans as well. As the leader of the organization responsible for producing, publishing, and circulating the newspaper globally, Morgans takes great pleasure in being the foremost source of information for the general public regarding significant events.

Morgan’s enthusiasm for sharing the latest news knows no bounds, as he is always eager to spread his scoops. He finds reporting to be incredibly entertaining and will stop at nothing to continue doing so, even if it means creating false stories or facing backlash from influential figures and groups in the One Piece universe.

Interestingly, Vegapunk’s announcement upstaged Morgans’, as the scientist revealed some major news before the tycoon could print it in his newspaper. It has been suggested that the rise of live television led to the decline of newspapers, a concept humorously depicted by One Piece author Eiichiro Oda in chapter 1113.

Despite a chapter filled with significant events and surprising revelations, the author still found a way to entertain readers with two clever panels that showcased his undeniable creative talent. In One Piece, every character, no matter how minor, possesses their own unique quirks, adding to the distinctiveness of Oda’s storytelling and preventing it from ever becoming dull.

Despite the grandiose moments, thrilling battles, and captivating mythology, the true standout feature of this franchise is its extensive ensemble. Even seemingly minor characters such as Morgans and Caesar Clown possess enough intrigue to captivate fans, providing them with tragicomic entertainment.

Undoubtedly, this serves as a testament to the true protagonists’ exceptional qualities. One Piece is highly regarded by a multitude of fans as one of the greatest shonen series ever created, and rightfully so.
