chapter 1107 spoilers

Howabout that cover? Howaboutthat cover? How ABOUT that cover?

Bepo, with a lovely warming pot of tea (or a kettle at least), and a club? (to protect the captain?), finds him skiving off with a snow leopard, a funnel, and maybe an empty bottle of Vodka. Chapter title is: "I've been looking for you", and it refers to the giants, I think, looking for the Straw Hats, and Usopp (especially), looking (out) for the giants, and Catarina Devon doing what, exactly? But Caribou, snivelling little sop of a man that he is, looking out for Blackbeard (his current lord and saviour). But, I'm with Bepo, looking out for Law!

The Blackbeards' land on Egghead and St. Jay Garcia Saturn says he knows all about Blackbeard's background, and Catarina knows it too, and I think it's maybe something separate from the "D" initial, cos', after all, it is in Teach's public name. But we see Van Augur--(like, why is the anime captioning him as Van Ogre when Augur is written clearly on the screen? But anyway). The last time we saw him

was

here in chapter 1081 when Bepo went Sulong and escaped with Law. Most of us thought that Blackbeard's crew had been split in half because

it was assumed that events were happening concurrently, but

Van Augur and Catarina Devon are here (on Egghead), and perhaps Van Augur could have warped himself there, but here he says

he hasn't mastered the warp warp fruit enough to get him and Catarina off the island, so it's unlikely that he could have warped himself all the way from Winner Island. SO, did they pursue Law and Bepo, and the two are nearby, or with the giants, or, or, or? Or is there some other explanation (about Van Augur--I know that Law's whereabouts is still relegated to cover pages)? I'm not a close reader, so I'm happy to have anything pointed out.

But, looks like Catarina will be able to clone

Saturn, and looks as if Saturn knows it. Of course, this guy below (Caribou) would be relevant. Can't wait to see his role!

I'm out of order, of course! I don't think that Law got recaptured, but I still think there might be a giant connection. And speaking of the giants

Usopp's reaction was just

heartfelt, was, ahhh, my heart, and Nami and Chopper were really cute too. And yeah, it's been some time, so the quick recap was necessary. AND, lots of small things I just loved either for humour or poignancy, like:

Brook abandoning everything for the sake of a cup of tea (even though he says he wasn't stopping for a cup of tea)---and Lilith sending forth messages (to raise the barrier, I'm guessing) because Brook is all too calm that the Sunny is heading towards the barrier, and bound to be fried by it. Lilith is not at all equipped for dealing with Straw Hat madness. And no-one can seriously out-machismo

Zoro. He's just too silly and strong. And!!!

the Pacifistas turn on the army, the army needing to suppress a workers' revolt. And that's Kuma in the bottom picture, isn't it? It looks like Kuzan, but PX is written on the cap, I think, in the picture. Again, let me know, please!

Bonney just

being in awe that

she gets to see Nika (and Nika teaches her how to throw a rubber punch, extra future bad news for Saturn, I hope). And

Kuma and Vegapunk (what's the far right image?) take in Nika too. Love Franky's way with words here:

telling Bonney she needs make use of her legs, and Vegapunk decides he's gonna stay (or die), and Borsalino's gonna make sure of it. But!

the power of love is all pervasive! (at least when Sanji's wearing the boots). Although his love was used for protecting Bonney rather than Vegapunk, and probably has more to do with Germa modifications than love, but it is Sanji's motivator, and attacks Kizaru's knowledge of "how things work"!

Kizaru/Borsalino's face in the first panel really shows how much power he's losing. Sentomaru took a path Kizaru could have taken, but didn't. He's following Bellamy's path, so it'll be interesting to see where he ends up. Because he's too smart to be a blind lackey. Being an aware lackey is some powerful conditioning/mental gymnastics.

And I think that's about it. Hoping Kid gets a cover page soon too!

outfits for geeta and rika for their yuri days, one sketch took slightly more time lol

okay okay.... so, I've been thinking about instead of writing down my stupid thoughts on how Poppy got into the elite 4. I'll instead visualise it with a fan comic, howaboutthat- There would be a chapter based on every elite 4 members and how they brought Poppy with em, Larry's way, Hassel's way.... these outfits are made for the sapphic way,, yep, that's the name...

You could call this a backstory au thingy maybe,, i dont know i just... good yuri... good morning

Fina that's a fucking stupid reason to think that summoning Grendel is a bad idea. The Valuan's are ALREADY subjigating them. How could the situation POSSIBLY get any worse by "the entire armada retaliating against them"? What are they gonna do when the armada shows up, how are they gonna retaliate? By burning down the forest kill all the men and enslave everyone else? THEY'RE ALREADY FUCKING DOING THAT!

The reason summoning Grendel is a stupid plan is because it'll cause collateral damage and it has a really glaring achillies heel.

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU FLYING ALONG RIGHT ALONGSIDE IT THAT ISN'T NECESSARY WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?

Yeah, see? THAT'S why this was a stupid plan. Not because "oh no using the giant monster to drive away the technologically advanced oppressors is bad because of reasons."

I do like that all the villains know Vyse personally by name and kinda know what his deal is. I always like when villains are on a first name basis with the hero.

wow it turns out summoning Grendel drove the Valuvians out of their lands and saved the day or something wow howaboutthat.

On This Day in Baseball History February 14, 1913: Legendary Baseball announcer Mel Allen (February 14, 1913 - June 16, 1996) was born in Greenwich, Connecticut. Allen was the first recipient Mel Allen (along with Red Barber) of the Ford C. Frick Award in 1978 for his major contributions to Baseball. For any Baseball fan like myself raised in the 1970s and 1980s, Mel Allen's "How About That" catchphrase while watching This Week in Baseball was definitely a pleasant memory. #MelAllen #HowAboutThat #FordFrickAward #BaseballHistory #HistoriaDelBeisbol #Baseball #Beisbol #BaseballSisco https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3so8EAkJB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tfsiigvq55z1
