1076 — Old friends
I’m sure the chapter titles will make sense once we have the whole picture, but at the moment I am very confused. Sure, it refers to the end of the chapter, but will it also (in hindsight) refer to the beginning?
No cover story but very pretty colour spread:
Tumblr media
The dynamics of Kaku and Lucci with Zoro and Luffy are just *chef’s kiss*
Tumblr media
Oda’s perspective shifts, both narratively and artistically, are really nifty. Here, for example, we don’t know what Kaku means, since his face is in shadow and mouth hidden. We just have the two very different interpretations as offered by Luffy and Zoro to go on.
The following pages don’t shed any further light: did Kaku want to get feee to pursue their original goal in the end, or did he just keep mum about it to reduce antagonism due to “you’re just here to kill us”-vibes? Why is Lucci really telling all — is he confident in their ability to fulfil their orders, no matter what their opponents know, or does he bet on honesty over deception to get out of their cuffs?
Tumblr media
It’s a nice reminder that the others are still in danger!
However, Zoro, you should have more confidence in your crewmates. They can take care of themselves once they get their head in the game, even the Weakling Trio (all conveniently paired up with a stronger member at the moment).
Tumblr media
Good thinking, Luffy, making sure Lucci goes first after you when all’s said and done. Of course Lucci couldn’t ignore such a thinly-veiled insult.
Luffy does have an eye for personal drivers and battle strategy, doesn’t he?
Tumblr media
I just enjoy the pairing of brute force + brute force and slicy + slicy.
Tumblr media
But what is happening on the island? Who captured Vegapunk?
Is it evil Lilith, who was shown to control the seabeasts? Is it logical Shaka, voice of reason and analytical skills? Is it A Secret Third Thing?
Too tired to think about this right now, hopefully there-crafters out there fill in the blanks.
And my new favourite sub-arc! Kid vs Shanks!
First, the introductory panelling is genius. Even though we see a house, the disparity between ship size and house size could be chalked up to rushed sketching or lazy reading. The placement of the “bar at a small port”-bubble, completely obscuring the ship behind confuses further.
Tumblr media
And then, of course, we have just a silhouette we all know and a very familiar call-back to the very first chapter. Everything looks nice and normal. The size of the sake cup is similar to what Shanks was shown to share with Whiebeard, so nothing particularly remarkable there — the dude’s been shown to love partying, after all, maybe he just loves over-sized cups. The size of the meat could also be just seaking or something similar.
And then, sudden giant blueberries.
Tumblr media
We’re not in Kansas, anymore, Toto.
AND FINALLY! THE RETURN OF DORRY AND BROGGY!
I wonder who won the fight in the end.
Tumblr media
Shanks has a certain je ne sais quoi. I love him.
So Rockstar’s role seems to be messenger. Iiiinteresting.
It’s so funny to see the dejected kid from a few pages ago just completely dwarf Shanks and his crew. Could he even fit on the Red Force?
A bit weird that the giants follow Shanks, though. I thought they’d be much too fierce warriors to do so, but on the other hand: Harjudin and his New Giant Pirates served under Buggy, so maybe the last 100 years without proper leadership really left Elbaf to the mercy of other powerful players?
And how will Usopp visit if the island is under Shanks influence — would a Straw Hat visit be construed as an act of war?
And poor Makino (beloved OTP) if the behaviour of the ladies in this chapter is something to go by. A girl in every port, huh…
Tumblr media
Kid looks a bit worried there, while Shanks exudes calm and confidence.
I wonder if Shanks has the last missing Poneglyph. We also didn’t get confirmation that they found Kaido’s red one in Wano, so that’s still up in the air.
So exciting!
I give the chapter two thumbs up: one from Shanks and one from Kid.
I give the chapter two thumbs up (one from Shanks and one from Kid).

Ch. 1076 discussed a lil below
I’m just gonna focus on the most important part of this chapter and that is apparently Kiddo wants to fight Shanks again. It is also canon that he had his arm taken by a member of the Red-Hair pirates rather than Shanks himself which in fact he apparently didn’t even get a glimpse of!
Hopefully Kid can get some payback and not be treated like some laughingstock again. Either that, or something happens to divert attention from a fight so that doesn’t occur. I do not enjoy seeing my muses getting humiliated on.

some egghead zolu shenanigans, up to chapter 1080.
zoro staying on sunny, because he knows the others might be in need of some rescuing, and because he doesn't trust vegapunk lilith (ch. 1065)
Tumblr media
then caribou, who was travelling with them to get ouf of wano, appears and zoro thanks him for helping luffy before
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- it was a small but important moment in the manga, because it was definitely the time when caribou had food on him thanks to his powers, and gave it to luffy who got new strength before his final battle with kaido on onigashima. (ch. 1021)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
at that moment zoro was fighting his own stuff some place else, so it's interesting if luffy mentioned it/talked about this with his crew in between wano & egghead -and possibly they made a deal with caribou to get him out of wano in exchange for the food he gave luffy.
still it's something very cool how zoro keeps that in mind so much that he says it out loud here on egghead, the priorities of that's important to him - that someone helped luffy when he needed it. that the food possibly saved luffy in that moment.
and how zoro thinks about food in general, being so crucial for luffy to get his strength for battles and ofc just existing (luffy mentioning the first time they met at shells town where zoro was being held and starving, that he, luffy, wouldn't last even three days without food) , and zoro seems to keep that in mind, like giving him the meat when they saw each other again in wano (despite it being kinda poisoned) "no worries about food"
Tumblr media
something that i keep coming back to is this part in sabaody/beginning of fishman island arc, where zoro points out he needs to go fishing. yeah, he could have done anything else, but he was waiting for his crew and for luffy (and maybe he wanted to make sure that luffy wouldn't be hungry once he arrives. despite having sanji there, and despite not knowing luffy would have a full bag of food from boa. it still seems connected to luffy, because even when he gets out of that ship he accidentaly breaks that was on its way to fishman island, he says it again - that he wants to go fishing.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyway. back to egghead
i loved this part where the crew basically makes sure zoro stays put so he doesn't get lost, and he's like "i can't think of a reason why they want me to stay here"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
while luffy up until then was running around that place searching for someone, when all he could do was check the vegapunk's snail cameras skdjskd. he's catching breath on the couch so much that zoro notices he's exhausted like that (i'm thinking what all could be some gear 5 side-effects and how long they would last, being so tired/drained of energy afterwards his nika shift.. even before these panels luffy points out he just wanted to relax on that island for a bit. hm.)
another small zolu moment - when luffy lost the contact of the vegapunks in his earpiece and feels something might be wrong. and zoro is concerned what's happening:
Tumblr media
then later, when they are up against the seraphim, these two want to team up and more hilarious stuff happens lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
such a funny situation aksksdj
(these faces lol, reminds me of the oden and whitebeard ones in wano flashbacks)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
few chapters later, zoro rushing to protect their other crewmembers, and luffy yelling at kaku to go with him, but because he doesn't know his name he just calls him usopp, that made me laugh so much
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then there was also this part, in ch. 1076:
luffy making sure if they team up with rob lucci and kaku, they wouldn't go after strawhats or vegapunks later - it feels like luffy is pointing out to rob lucci that he really doesn't want to mess with him like that.
zoro trying to be the voice of reason not to trust them.
but then rob lucci basically threatening luffy and his crew, that once the teaming up is done he wants to get rid of luffy.
Tumblr media
i like how luffy doesn't say anything to that, but he looks really pissed off. he doesn't care if rob lucci goes after him, but he cares if he says /does anything bad to his crew and friends.
im only few chapters later after this so idk how that will progress, but im really curious about the final outcome between luffy and rob lucci. luffy doesnt forget important things, he even specified not to hurt any of his crew, and rob lucci still pointed it out they would be dead after he was out of the way. soo.. just really curious for the future chapters.

Dating App Mishaps (Ch. 6)
Ship: Alex Blake/Reader
Summary: Alex didn't have Tinder by choice...but that doesn't mean it isn't going to come in handy.
Word Count: 1076
"Why did you make me come with you?" you whined, trudging along behind Quinn, "You know I think this place is elitist and snobby and brainwashing young adults into..."
Quinn interrupted your spiel with a 'yak yak yak' hand gesture. "God, do you ever shut up?"
"Do you?" you retorted, wishing you had something more clever to fire back with.
Quinn just rolled her eyes, but didn't dignify your retort with a verbal reply. "I need you to carry all my textbooks," she said as if that should be obvious.
"Umm, did you break both your arms?" you scoffed.
Rolling her eyes harder, Quinn replied, "I just got a manicure and you have horny lesbian nails, so you're not going to risk damaging a hundred dollars worth of acrylics."
"How the fuck do you afford tuition and still piss away money on spa days?" you asked, fully anticipating her to give you the finger in reply.
She surprised you then by seeming surprised. "You didn't know?" she said at length.
"Know what?" You hated her smug grin, the superiority in her smirk.
"My sugar daddy pays for everything... I thought you knew that."
Your brows leapt up your forehead. "Excuse me?"
Quinn shot you a look that seemed to suggest you'd said something intentionally obtuse. "You do not get to judge me, Miss Milf Horny," she said, surprisingly intimidating for her smaller stature.
You held up your hands in self-defence. "I wasn't judging!" you insisted. "I just...didn't know." You shrugged.
She seemed like she would have liked to say more on the subject, but before she could, she got a text message. "Speak of the devil..." she said with a waggle of her brows. "I'll be right back."
You rolled your eyes, leaning back against the wall to wait.
__________
You were typing on your phone (admittedly waxing poetic to your best friend about how you hadn't heard from your almost-hookup in nearly a week) and not paying attention to the pile of books you'd left on the floor...
And by the time you looked up from your phone, you realized a moment too late that said books were exactly far enough into the hallway that they were going to cause someone to trip.
You had exactly enough time to catch the victim of your inadvertent trap as she fell...bringing you face to face with Alex. Immediately, you felt your face heat up with embarrassment as you flashed back to grinding your bare cunt on her thigh.
"Al-Alex, I umm..." you stammered. "It's... It's umm...nice to see you again." You winced, hating how awkward your greeting sounded.
"Y/N," Alex said, sounding mildly surprised as well, but hiding it better.
"What are you doing here?" you asked, collecting the books that had been scattered when Alex tripped over them.
She watched you for a moment before responding, "I teach here. Are you a student here?"
Glancing up at from where you were kneeling on the floor, you were quick to insist, "Oh, no!"
"Those are the standard textbooks for a first year kinesiology student," she pointed out.
You looked from Alex to the textbooks and back. "They're my sister's," you said, "I'm just her pack mule." You watched as something that looked a lot like relief washed over her face. A few seconds later, your brain caught up to the situation. "What could possibly have been a 'work emergency' for a college professor?" you blurted out without stopping to wonder if there was a reasonable explanation.
For a brief moment, surprise flickered across Alex's face. "You didn't Google me," she said, unsure if it was a sentence or a question.
You shook your head. "Was I supposed to?"
"I just assumed," she admitted. "The work emergency was for my other job." A beat. "With the FBI."
"Does... Does that mean you aren't ghosting me?" you asked awkwardly.
"Ghosting you?" Alex repeated. "Heavens no!"
Of course, that was the answer you'd been hoping for. "Really?" you couldn't help asking, needing to be certain.
Rather than directly answer, Alex instead said, "Have dinner with me."
"Really?" you said again.
She couldn't help the soft little laugh that bubbled up. "Please?" she added. "It would be my pleasure."
Before you had a chance to reply, Quinn came flouncing back...and the moment she caught sight of Alex, a wickedly mischievous smirk crossed her lips. "Wellllll," she said, drawing out the syllable. "What have we here?"
"Get lost, Quinn," you hissed from between your teeth, attempting to convey with your eyes alone that if she didn't, you couldn't be held responsible for what you might do to her.
Quinn, of course, ignored you. Still grinning like the cat that got the cream, she turned to Alex and knowingly said, "Have you asked her out yet?"
"Quinn!" you squeaked, scandalized. You whipped your head around to fix Alex with an apologetic grimace. Turning back to Quinn, you attempted to be polite as you said, "Kindly go away."
She ignored you. "Don't get me wrong, Y/N is great and everything, but she really needs to get laid. Like the situation is critical..."
You had no idea what to say or do in this situation. The best you had to offer was swivelling your gaze from Quinn to Alex and back, mouth hanging open a little.
Alex, at least, seemed to find the situation amusing. "Is that so?" she asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.
Quinn, knowing full well what she was doing, nodded. "The last time I stayed at her place, she was in the shower for like forty minutes, if you know what I mean..." She winked, just in case her double entendre was unclear.
"Good to know," Alex remarked. She was clearly doing her best to quash a grin that threatened to break free.
"Oh-kay," you said slowly with an expression that quite clearly said you were going to murder Quinn, "That's more than enough sharing." You dug your fingers into Quinn's shoulders as you forcefully turned her around. Over your shoulder, you shot Alex an apologetic smile, half convinced you'd never hear from her again.
You were frog-marching Quinn down the hall when Alex's voice rang out, reminding, "You forgot the textbooks..."

This is played for laughs but Luffy’s...generally good at being able to tell when people are lying and quite honestly outside of their undercover job in Water 7 both Kaku and Lucci have been...pretty genuine when it comes to keeping their word!

“In the year of the Incarnation of the Savior 1089, Count Roger took a new wife, his former one, Eremberga, daughter of Count William of Mortain, having died. Her name was Adelaide and she was the niece of Boniface, that most renowned marquis of Italy; to be precise, she was the daughter of Boniface’s brother. She was a young woman with a very becoming face.”
Goffredo Malaterra, The Deeds of Count Roger of Calabria and Sicily and of his Brother Duke Robert Guiscard, book 4, ch. 14
Adelasia (or Adelaide) was born around 1074 in Northwestern Italy. Her parents were Manfredi (or Manfredo) Incisa del Vasto, a member of the Aleramici House, and his unnamed wife. From her paternal side, she was the niece of Bonifacio, Marquis of Savona and of Western Liguria, “the most renowned marquis of Italy” (in Goffredo Malaterra, The Deeds of Count Roger ..., book 4, ch. 14). Adelasia had a brother, Enrico, and two unnamed sisters.
Following their father’s tragic death (killed together with his brother Anselmo during a popular uprising in 1079), the siblings were entrusted to the guardianship of their uncle Bonifacio, although quite soon Enrico decided to travel all the way to Southern Italy to help the Norman leaders Robert and Roger Hauteville in their conquest.
The Aleramic scion was gifted with the counties of Butera and Paternò for his services. But the del Vasto family fortunes were destined to grow as Enrico’s sisters married into the newly established Hauteville comital dynasty. His unnamed sisters were betrothed to the Great Count Roger’s bastard sons Goffredo (who would die young without getting the chance to marry) and Giordano, while Adelasia married the Great Count himself.
In 1089 Roger was at his third marriage. His first (and beloved) wife Judith d'Évreux had given him only daughters before dying in 1076. The following year, he married Eremburge de Mortain, who bore him his first legitimate son, Malgerio, and died in 1089. With just a son (who would die young around 1098) as heir, it isn’t surprising Roger remarried. The choice of an Italian wife (his previous ones had been fellow Frenchwomen) was part of the Hautevilles’ strategies to latinize Southern Italy by welcoming Gallo-Italic immigrants with the hoped result to counter the already existing Greek-Arabic majority.
Adelasia would bore Roger two sons: Simone (born in 1093) and Ruggero (born in 1095 – although Malaterra records “in the year of the Incarnation of the Lord 1098, Countess Adelaide became pregnant again by Count Roger” in Goffredo Malaterra, The Deeds of Count Roger ..., book 4, ch. 26) and at least one daughter: either Matilda (born between 1093-1095, future Countess consort of Alife) or Maximilla (birth date unknown, future wife of Count Palatin Ildebrandino VI Aldobrandeschi), or perhaps both of them.
The Great Count died on June 22nd 1101 in Mileto (Calabria). Following her late husband’s wishes, 27-years old Adelasia assumed the regency of the county for her 8-years old son, Simone, who became the new Count of Sicily. She smartly surrounded herself with capable and trusted men, like her brother Enrico, or Christodulos, a Greek Orthodox (possibly a Muslim convert) admiral who had been nominated amiratus (Grand Dignitary) of Sicily already under Ruggero I.
Little Count Simone’s rulership was tragically shortlived as the child died in Mileto, on September 1105, at just 12 years old. He was succeeded by his younger (and, according to the sources, better-suited) brother, Ruggero. As the new Great Count was even younger (10 years old), Adelasia resumed her role of Regent. It is in this period, precisely in 1109, that the Warrant of Countess Adelasia, Europe’s oldest known paper document, was issued.
Although a more generous patron for the Latin clergy, Adelasia maintained a good relationship with the Muslim and Greek communities, granting them freedom of worship and a relevant administrative autonomy (so that in a Greek-Arab charter dated 1109 she is called malikah). She was well aware that, following the change of ownership, her adoptive country was in need of a stabler bureaucratic apparatus, justice administration and a proper capital city. Mileto had been dear to her late husband, but Adelasia had different ideas. Although she preferred Messina for its strategic position, she realised Palermo, having been the capital of the Sicilian Emirate and thus adorned with splendid buildings, was better suited to become the capital of the Hauteville counts. In 1112 she moved the capital from Mileto to Palermo and that same year she stepped back from the Regency, allowing her son Ruggero to start ruling by his own right.
Not used to sitting around and willing to increase her son’s power and fortunes, the dowager Countess accepted to marry in 1113 the childless and older Baodouin I, King of Jerusalem. Prenuptial agreements stated that, in the absence of issue, the Kingdom of Jerusalem would have been inherited by Ruggero and his descendants. This royal marriage proved to be a faux pas as Boudouin was still legally married to his second wife, Arda of Armenia. The King had merely decided to chase her away, sending poor Arda to live in a nunnery, but then simply allowed her to go back to her father’s home in Constantinople without properly annulling the marriage and casting the shadow of bigamy over the new marital union. Moreover, always in need of money to pay for the troops, soon Baodouin spent all of Adelasia’s dowry. Taking advantage of a temporary illness, Papal Legate Arnoul de Chocques convinced the King to annul the marriage so that his wife could be sent back to Sicily. Despite complying, the King was not the least happy as he wished to milk some more the of his Norman wife’s riches, but as the royal union was still childless, Pope Pasquale II could not risk seeing the Hauteville expand their influence over the Holy Land in a possible near future.
In 1117, after four dissatisfying years as Queen Consort of Jerusalem, Adelasia returned back to Palermo. She spent the last year of her life devoting herself to religion. She died in Patti (near Messina) on April 16th 1118 and was buried in the city’s cathedral, where she still lies. 
In 1130, her beloved son Ruggero would be crowned the first King of Sicily. According to chronicler William of Tyre, Ruggero never forgot the humiliation his mother had to suffer in Jerusalem so that he and his heirs never truly reconciled with the Kingdom of Jerusalem (“Qua redeunte ad propria, turbatus est supra modum filius; et apud se odium concepit adversus regnum et ejus habitatores, immortale” William of Tyre, Chronicon, XI.29)
