can you imagine stampede from the pov of like bonney or apoo or urouge. you get to this pirate festival for pirates by pirates™ and you find out it's a trap, this legendary strong guy who could go toe to toe with gol d roger wants to kill you and every other pirate on the sea and it tramples the strawhat captain who you've met once but that one time he punched a fucking celestial dragon and also you've been following his trail of destruction on the papers so you know he's pretty fucking strong so you do the smart thing and retreat to your ship, except the guy has cut off sea access and the marines are here in this supposedly super secret island although what did you expect it had to have been publicised pretty extensively somehow to reach this many pirates. then and admiral shows up and the strawhat swordsman has to cut a meteorite in half or you're all going to die, except he almost doesn't get it and for some fucking reason hawk eyes decides to intervene, save all of your asses in one swipe, and leave two minutes after getting here. you're pretty sure he winked at roronoa. meanwhile the situation with the guy is getting tragic but suddenly? somehow? a vice admiral the amazon princess another shichibukai trafalgar law and the goddam second in command of the revolution army? team up? and kick the guy's ass? and strawhat who's not only still alive but well enough to keep fighting completely obliterates him. and there's a rumor going around that the treasure you were all fighting for before it all went to hell was a log pose for raftel and strawhat has it which sucks but then rumor changes in that he has destroyed the log pose which what the fuck why would he do that but there is really no time for that now because the sea is reachable again but the marines have decided to call for a buster call and you all need to get your ass off this island yesterday so you get ready to fight and all the worst generation is here with you so you're pretty sure you're going to survive even if it's going to be tough as hell because you're all exhausted but then a second admiral is here and shit it's not going to be fun, but then the second of the revolution army apparently? decides to lend you all a solid? and opens up a fiery path to safety? you're pretty sure this is also strawhats doing for some reason. you're pretty sure you lost the plot around when the big guy showed up so you just. go with it and never mention it again

#microdosing on one piece by catching up with the movies i missed aka gold and stampede #actually I'm distracting myself from the elections results #also why is buggy onde what is this travesty eugh #one piece #me medesima #also fun fact i had to search urouge's name four times because i care so little about him i keep forgetting it as soon as i close the tab

One Piece Chapter 1052 - Initial Thoughts

Okay then

What was first meant to be just the wrapping up of Wano has now turned into the wrapping up of the penultimate saga of One Piece, and the last few chapters before the Month Hiatus

There's still the possibility that Oda leaves us on a cliffhanger though, so let's see what these last chapters have to offer

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release

Gastino how come you didn't leave Whole Cake!? You can Fly!

We start the chapter with the reaction of the Gorosei

I'm still unsure what they mean by 'fallen', I don't expect BM or Kaido to be dead but at the same time the longer it's left the more it feels like they are

Zunesha has left too, confirming to them that Wano's borders won't open, meaning that they can't invade (though I wonder about the waterfall's stability still)

They still want Robin though, I don't think mask face has the heart to tell them

Someone hacking into CP0's signal?

Back in Onigashima and Drake and Hawkins are alive!

See? Hawkins may be a bit of a bastard, but who isn't in the Worst Generation? In the end he was never gonna go back to Kaido

Anime have done an error it seems, the 1% man was Hawkins himself!

I hope he didn't just die then, part of me feels like he came to Drake because he wants a way out, even if it is with the marines

A week passes and Wano is being reestablished; education is being reformed, kids are getting water, and a new festival is coming

People think Luffy - who they refer to as Joy Boy - left though

If they think Luffy's heroism rivals Ryuma then god what was Ryuma doing beyond the Monsters manga!?

In Ringo, Kin, Marco and Kawamatsu are discussing making another shrine to bury the fallen

Izou sadly confirmed dead, man went out protecting his family though so you gotta respect that, they're gonna be laid to rest with Yasuie, the other Daimyo, Oden and Ashura

In the palace Yamato waits, and Hiyori reveals that Luffy and Zoro have awakened

Plus we finally have that dropkick

Yep, they're back to normal...BUT TELL US ABOUT THE REAPER ZORO!!!

Momo's festival was on hold until Luffy and Zoro woke up, gotta get hammered back into a coma after all

Luffy and Zoro of course don't recognize adult Momo XD

Alas Momo, you've lost your chance to nestle in Nami and Robin's bosom, now you get smacked off - not that Brook and Sanji aren't taking any pleasure out of that...

Yamato please keep putting plates on his head

Now that Luffy and Zoro is awake, Yamato can apparently eat, since they made a vigil to not eat or bathe till they woke

Hiyori reveals she wiped the two boys clean though, not that Zoro pays any attention, Sanji will pay attention (and rage in jealousy) for the both of them

Zoro though remembers his promise to Sanji, and decides to take liberties with it by attacking him

The Onsen scene was perhaps not for me, I get it's a win for Yamato to be in the men's bath and Kiku to be in the women's bath but also if Brook and Sanji are perving at Yamato during all this it's kinda missing the point

Oh to be young and be allowed to get away with getting to second base due to 'innocence'

Carrot please you're 15, sit down!

In Tokage Port, Usopp and Franky have done the work and helped fix up the ships and Franky Shogun

I keep forgetting that Kid's ship looks awesome

Stubborn and grumpy Kid and Law though, don't want to be giving the straw hats credit because now the alliance will be coming to an end

FUCK OFF APOO, Ibi you can stay

Okay leave the new bounties on the floor and then FUCK OFF APOO

Bounties AND Names? Oh I've been waiting for new titles, and new Emperors? I'd guess maybe Kid'll get shafted because his alliance failed and Law and Luffy's didn't

For joking sake I'd love to see Tama just have her face plastered over Kaido's bounty, 'Queen of Beasts' Tama

Dude is literally using a plant on his back to helicopter over to Wano

Admiral Green bull sir, I'm gonna have to kindly ask you not to disrupt this festival and try and kidnap Robin, peas and tankards? Akainu is telling you to not do anything unnecessary and attacking a nation not bound by the WG's jurisdiction with two freshly new Yonko would fit that bill, plus you're chill with Fujitora who's pro-Luffy, be chill man, be chill

Also you are kinda triggering my Baron Omatsuri trauma with the flower growing out of you...

Oda had to do it didn't he? He's setting up shit to hit the fan right before a hiatus

It was a fine chapter, one designed to lure you into a false sense of security. But I do worry that a lot of things are gonna be left unanswered

It's been a full week now in Wano so I kinda expect that if BM and Kaido were dead that their subordinates would be in full panic, BM's crew is a big question mark after all in this saga.

We have no clue about Kaido's Poneglyph either, or Wano's use of Sea Prism Stone in general, or really any of the early stuff with Hitetsu and the Nidai Kitetsu. While we're on swords as well we may not see Zoro pay his respects to Ryuma or have any genetics towards Wano as it was theorised and even hinted by Oda to have, and we do need to know about his excursion to hell too.

Between all of this, Luffy and co having a rager, the Admiral, leaving Wano (with Robin still with them hopefully) and finding out about what happened in the outside, I fear Oda won't be able to cover all of that.

This being said, the chapter itself had a lot of fun parts, I'm still not sold on the onsen scene nor am I 100% sold that Yamato is Nakama until Luffy says so (he still calls him Yama-o), I will also continue to hold on hope for Carrot since she was in the background for this chapter and Zunesha has already left, but then again the minks did have ships too so it's still very much a clutch at straws. As I noted before, I hope Hawkins survives, and even sticks with Drake, SWORD could use his talents too after all. And I expect Kid to feel slighted by the new bounty figures, perhaps enough to even attempt full villainy. I worry about Law though, the end of the saga means the end of his and Luffy's alliance, what will the Surgeon of Death do now?

I can see the Admiral's presence going one of two ways; either he causes a scene or he simply chills at the party. It's also quite possible that he's not the one who contacted CP0, since the navy only learned of CP0's presence in Wano through Drake, I half expect another force to be coming: SSG, Sentomaru or Lucci perhaps? It was theorised by many that Green Bull had a plant DF so that seems confirmed, I wonder if that may fall into Usopp's wheelhouse with his Pop Greens or to his detriment? But I do hope he's just pretty chill and ends up joining in on the food, while also dropping the bomb about what happened at the Reverie, but it's tough to tell.

One more chapter until the long wait.

Hi hi! My contribution to the One Piece Ask Game:

7. Which is your favorite arc?

16. If you could change one thing in One Piece, what would it be?

Pardon if you've done these already.

One Piece Ask Game

Hi hi! Okay, let's try this again, after my browser flipped and my answer was lost before I could post it ><

7.Favorite Arc?

I loved the Sabaody arc, because there were so many great characters introduced (the supernovas). The whole thing with the world nobles and slaves was disturbing, but in a somewhat interesting way. And you could really feel something was brewing (with the supernovas all at the same island, Kizaru coming, Kuma/the pacifistas, and Ace being captured)

I also loved Impel Down, because we got to see many fun characters return (as well as some nice new ones).

But I'm also really enjoying Wano! I feel like I can't say for sure it's my favorite until I've seen all, but I'm really liking it so far.

The story is interesting.

It's got many characters that I already knew and loved. I just love seeing all the Supernovas who are there (except Apoo, he can go fuck himself), and of course my beloved Marco and Izou. I don't dislike most of the new characters either. Also Zoro and Sanji finally seeing each other again after, what, 300 episodes or something?

We get quite a bit of information regarding the Bigger Picture

The pacing is good (as far as I've seen now, at least, remember I'm not completely up to date with the anime). It's not so dragged out as the Whole Cake Island arc.

It might also have something to do with the build up to Wano we got? Like Wano was mentioned loooong before they were even going in it's direction, and it was this mysterious, closed off, traditional Japanese-like island, and now we've seen it! 😊 It didn't disappoint, at least not for me.

16. If you could change one thing in One Piece, what would it be?

Okay, I'm going to be really boring…

Thatch. ate. that. devil. fruit.

Yep, I realize it changes the whole story and the whole world order. I don't know what would have happened to Luffy and the gang but at least: 1)Thatch would (probably) still be alive, 2) Ace would be alive, 3) Whitebeard would be alive, 4) Blackbeard would lead a miserable life (which he deserves), 5) Bon-chan would be ali- … Wait. Bon-chan would still be in Impel Down. Whether he'd be alive is doubtful. A lot of other cool people would also still be in Impel Down… that sucks. Law would also not have saved Luffy's life, nor would they probably have met again on Punk Hazard, and they wouldn't have formed an alliance. I dare say if Thatch ate the devil fruit, Law would very much be dead by now. (Unless, of course, he'd have formed another alliance with someone powerful to take down Doflamingo…)

Okay, so that option seems to be less and less good 😂 I guess you can't save everyone.

Then I go for…. Everything is the same, except Zoro and Sanji are officially married. The way they behave around each other doesn't change, cause they already behave like a married couple, but just they're officially married now and it's no secret that they love each other 😛 (I'm sorry that's a lame ass answer)

The Thing about Law that the Fandom Forgot

With more recent manga chapters revealing Law’s kinder, goofier side, a lot of people began envisioning him and portraying him as a charitable dork who’s genuinely kind but tsundere about it with everyone

And that’s fine and all, of that makes you happy, but it just kinda makes ME feel sad since it forgets and even contradicts some of my fave aspects of his character: his genuine selfishness, cruelty, and sadism

It was NOT a mistake that Doflamingo stated that the two of them were not so different, and it was NOT a mistake that Law begrudgingly agreed with this assessment

Because they both ARE selfish, cruel, and sadistic people

I mean, here are some things he does onscreen:

1. Asked X Drake gleefully about how many people he’s killed

2. Expressed great pleasure over committing all kinds of frightening body horror on Marines

3. Displayed excitement over the idea of performing excruciating surgery on Luffy and Jinbei, who couldn’t fight back (yes, it was overall kind since he saved their lives, but that doesn’t change the fact that he viewed doing painful things to them as a huge perk)

4. Needlessly and sadistically tormented Tashigi while she was down, insulting her and trying to chop her into bits in an attempt to humiliate her

5. Delivered 100 pirate hearts to the WG to become a Warlord

6. Took his damn sweet time in curing CHILDREN on PH, even though he could’ve done it in a matter of mere moments. He even suggested LEAVING THEM BEHIND since they were “too much of a burden to deal with.” (YES, he was disgusted by how Caesar treated them, I know, but it doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t do a damn thing about it and even suggested abandoning them to their horrific fates. And when he did, it was at literally the last moment and was mainly an “ugh, FINE, I GUESS I’ll do it since my ally wants it and I want to establish a good rapport with my allies” type of deal)

7. Planned to screw over every citizen of Dressrosa in his quest to avenge Corazon by killing Doflamingo. (YES, he was disgusted by how Doffy treated his citizens, but it doesn’t change the fact that he nonetheless knowingly tried to screw them all over in his revenge plot, which involved having Kaido come in and massacre thousands of innocent civilians in order to kill Doffy)

8. Outright stated that he would happily destroy the entire world, as well as himself, if it would help him avenge Corazon. In fact, his mere plan of killing Doflamingo showcases this conviction since, when Doffy did go down, it ended up plunging large parts of the world into chaos

9. While he does deeply value the sanctity of corpses (most likely due to Flevance and Cora), he CERTAINLY has 0 moral qualms with committing horrific acts of body horror on LIVING people

And this isn’t even taking into account the plethora of downright horrible shit he might’ve pulled offscreen

Like Apoo called him “infamously cruel” for a REASON

Really, overall, while Law can indeed be loving and kind, his love and care are EXTREMELY and OVERWHELMINGLY rare and selective

The only people he loves are his family, his crew, and, of course, his “most cherished person” Corazon. With them, he’s the dorky goof instead of the “Surgeon of Death.” And regarding this tiny circle of people, in great contrast to his general cruelty and sadism, he loves them to an absolutely obsessive, self-destructive, fervent, suicidal, crazed, and even FRIGHTENING extent, so much so that he’s willing to sacrifice the entire world as well as himself to avenge them/keep them safe. Like, he outright stated that he would joyfully destroy the entire world and himself to avenge Corazon. And WOW, don’t even get me STARTED on the shit he pulled on Dressrosa to avenge Corazon. He was pretty much well past the gates of death, but he STILL managed to stay alive and fight from the sheer force of the love he felt for Corazon. Even LUFFY–goddamn LUFFY–was intimidated when he witnessed just how much Law loved Corazon, THAT’S how overwhelming and scary Law’s love is for his few loved ones

• (This is actually kinda funny because his love for them is so strong that he ends up feeling fondness for THEIR loved ones as well, even if they’re his enemies and hate his guts. Like when he met Sengoku, Corazon’s adoptive father, he treated him with nothing but the utmost compassion and politeness, even when Sengoku was cussing him out, which–when you consider the fact that Law’s a very rude person–is a BIG DEAL)

And the only people outside of his circle of loved ones that he likes and tends to treat kindly are his close allies (the SHs, the Minks to a certain extent, etc). He also loosens up enough to be a bit silly and goofy with them as well. He treats them pretty well, views them pretty highly, and would, on certain conditions, risk his life for their sake (if his allies are risking their lives for a problem that’s his and not theirs, if one of them will die as a result of his issues, etc). Overall, he treats them pretty warmly, but he’s not nearly as kind to them as he is towards his loved ones

Everyone else? He’ll either go out of his way to torture you, or–if he doesn’t specifically go out of his way–if offered the opportunity to hurt you via a requirement of one of his plans, he’ll gladly take it up and view it as a major perk. And if on the off-chance he pities you, he’ll still screw you over and feel no guilt about it if it furthers his plans. Otherwise, he’ll p much only be kind to strangers if he thinks they’ll either be useful to him; be his allies in the future (for example, he saved Jean Bart, instead of any of the other slaves, because he knew he was strong); or if he respects them (he was p polite to Luffy and Kid back on SA, all things considered, since he respected them as fellow driven pirate captains)

So overall, unless if you’re his loved ones or allies, or if he thinks you’ll be useful or he respects you, Law doesn’t give a single FUCK about you and you’re SCREWED if he comes across you in a particular mood

In any other story besides One Piece’s morally ambiguous one, Law would be an unequivocal VILLAIN

And honestly, if circumstances were just a bit different, and if his goals didn’t end up generally aligning with those of the Straw Hats, Law could very well have been one of their greatest enemies

While thinking about him as such a cruel person might make some people sad, doesn’t it make Law a more fascinating and heartwarming character as well?? Isn’t it compelling and sweet how Law, one of the absolute cruelest characters in the series, is capable of the greatest love and kindness as well??

#sue me I /LOVE/ cruel bad guys who adore their loved ones with all their hearts and would go to frightening lengths #to make them happy/protect them #my stuff #trafalgar law #donquixote corazon #donquixote rocinante #donquixote rosinante #tw: murder mention #tw: death mention #tw: medical mention #tw: torture mention #tw: violence mention #op #queue #long post

[inexchangeforyoursoul]

oh boi idk where you guys find the stuff but it seems like Oda wants to off some heads and/or limbs let’s see my personal hit list (that is to say the “characters most likely to die by the end of One Piece” list), Kaidou/Wano related edition:

Hot-Red Tier aka OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU:

none atm, though I expect Moira to pop already if he does enter the fray. There’s only so many times you can cheat death. Also, Kaidou kind of needs to die, that’s p much all his character is about from what we’ve seen, anyway.

Middle gound:

Jack... keeping him alive does not seem to be of benefit in any way. Would make one hella zombie. (Speaking of which, Lil’ Oars Jr. should drop a mixtape if Moria is around. Would tie into the Ace miniarc or w/e that’s coming, too.)

Caribou; he either dies or lives to pass the info on Shirahoshi to another dangerous player

Kid or Killer will likely have to go. What I’m saying is, these two will need to have character development, and likely at the expense of the other.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi ride and die together. Or survive together. It just seems so... reasonable.

Low tier:

Killer again, if there is nothing happening with him and Kid. This time it’s either him or Hawkins... sorry I don’t write the rules. My instincts do. Too much beautiful long blonde hair on-screen. We need to cut some of it, sooner or later.

X Drake. He’ll have to be explored as a person first, though, like many others mentioned previously.

Like Apoo; either him or Kid will become Luffy’s foil here, if not both of them in a way (Apoo has his daredevilness, childlike wonder and cheerful attitude, but has plenty of brains and will backstab people; Kid is basically Luffy without Shanks’ lesson about not fucking killing everyone who looks at you funnily: same endgoal and comparable morals otherwise).

Kin’emon sounds about right; has yet to teach Zoro his secrets, however

The “may lose some bits but will survive” club:

Law missed his best chace to die or get maimed, second best stop is endgame. Latter can be still done, tho. Get him a Battle Franky model already.

His crew are kind of an extension of his status; killing anyone wouldn’t be of much benefit here.

Zoro; he kinda needs to either kick Mihawk’s ass first or entrust the business to Tashigi to die. Latter smells like the arc after material, though. (we NEED to get to Vegapunk eventually, you feel me?)

I believe Kaidou will get hella interested in Chopper (zoan with those pills? c’mon) and we’ll have another (attempted) kidnapping from the crew; it would be traumatic for the lil fella, but I don’t see him getting seriously injured

Any other Strawhat, including

Jinbe, who is is set up to be a permanent helmsman. He’ll stay for sure. For now.

Carrot just lost her mentor, at least it’s very, very likely. She’s in the middle of character development, too, in a “rite of passage” way. Will survive till the end of the story as an ally imho.

I’d be surprised if Momonosuke gets seriously hurt; his flying dragonness *cough* will def be important, sooner or later

+1 category: Luffy will eventually die tbh, but this arc is nowhere near endgame in any way whatsoever, despite having obvious consequences. Also Shanks, duh. I’d be surprised if that happened rn. And Blackbeard ofc (though Sakazuki is just as likely to die, honestly.) Plus Crocodile; and with that, I also have my top 5 to die in the extras lmao

I probably forgot a noteworthy player or two here, but oh well

#opspoilers #Kate talks #one piece

One Piece Chapter 1032 - Initial Thoughts

Well that week break was a sneaky one, but we're back for the chapter that preludes the anime's 1000th episode

With Sanji finding new resolve we've begun anew with that fight, but focus will likely shift elsewhere. Let's get down to business

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too

Yamato cover this time, delivering goods to an old lady with some cats

Marco's carrying Izo at their behest to kick off, Marco admitting he's injured while Izo wants to investigate the 'fire yokai'

Flying away from Big Mom, several of Kaido's forces are trying to fight to get in, not for battle but to avoid the fire

Back to the Yamato chase and Apoo is still being a sneaky one

Looks like Fuga's friends with Yamato, and he only chased Yamato to catch up

But it is fortunate, because Fuga's big hair allows a soft landing for Robin and Brook

CP0 have followed up though, charging down at their target

The duo have resorted to fight but then they see behind CP0 Kazenbo

Damn, Kanjuro just kinda protected Robin inadvertently, burning the CP0 members alive

Wait it can pass through walls as well? Feel like that could've been more useful...give Usopp Kanjuro's fruit! He's an artist and he could do wonders

Yamato connects the dots though with Kazenbo going for the armoury, and calls on Fuga for assistance

Graceful landing for Brook as well XD

Apoo's quick to get the pics of CP0 though - who are just confirming that the fire theme of Onigashima's raid isn't as damaging as real fire should be - which is a bad move

Blackmailing secret agents with freedom to kill? Silly Apoo

White Eye just ups and Shigan's Apoo's neck, before reminding Drake that he knows that he's a spy too

Drake however seems to be ready to spill CP0's presence too (well, he already did but CP0 don't know that it seems) so White Eye goes to silence him

Apoo's still alive! With a blindside boom, turns out he used haki just in time

So now Apoo and Drake are working together to fight CP0!

Back to Zoro vs King and it's for our regular dosage of 'THAT'S NOT HOW DINOSAURS WORK ODA!' as King ELASTICS HIS FACE to attack Zoro with his beak...

Oda is just trolling us at this point but now I'm curious at what dinosaurs were actually like in One Piece (other than the Little Garden dinosaurs who are completely fucking normal)

Being outdoors, King is able to keep his distance from Zoro, but he does give away that his fire is not a part of his Devil Fruit

Zoro tries a Great Dragon Twister, but King tanks it by hiding under his wings, making Zoro conclude that he's like a dragon in regards to thick defences

King, craving a good fight, reverts to human for some sword combat as Zoro runs down the information he has on King internally; wings not yet used, no signs of blood, and the fire

When deliberating his race though King muscles Zoro into the wall, flooring him as he lay exhausted, realising that his chances of winning are slim when he knows so little about the enemy

In the distance though Zoro hears a shamisen, and Enma activates, beginning to drain his haki

Orochi also hears the shamisen too, and peers out to see what is causing it

And it's Hiyori, dressed as 'Komurasaki'

Oh she's a clever one, using his simpage to lure him towards her as plans of revenge close in

Admittedly there's a lot of set up here but it was still good set up nonetheless, I suppose Oda also didn't want to overshadow the announcement of the Shanks movie either (sounds like it could be a prequel story, or at the least a parallel story of Shanks' pirate career up to meeting Luffy or becoming a Yonko).

Back to the chapter though and it seems to have been split between 3 main subjects; first is the Kazenbo, its announcement has drawn Izo and Marco towards it, I'm unsure what Izo can do and given its path through the floors it's likely Izo will be nowhere near Kiku, Marco on the other hand does have the chance to tame fire thanks to his Devil Fruit. The Kazenbo also brings Yamato with Fuga - hopefully we'll get more explanation on that bond later - into more urgency than before, and it is likely that somehow the Kazenbo would have to be fought off: after all, Yamato and Brook both have ice powers, and Jimbei and Kawamatsu would also be useful here.

The Kazenbo plot opens up the second plot of CP0, now even less likely to capture Robin it puts them in direct arms with Apoo and Drake (notice how the other two Numbers haven't seemed to have followed Apoo?), the common goal seems to be exposing CP0 though I must admit it would've done absolute wonders if White Eye succeeded in killing Apoo, just to sell their danger a lot more, I mean they have shrugged off being singed alive and tanking an explosion but still, the longer they're in the fight the more time Robin and Brook have to get away, whether that battle gets interrupted though depends on the moving parts.

Finally we get more Zoro vs King's 'that's not how it works' session, at this point I'm expecting Kaido to do something ridiculous and say 'this is how dragons hunted in ancient times!' - but it is an interesting spot we have Zoro in; he's exhausted and on a time limit which is nothing new but there's rarely if ever been a point where we've seen Zoro think 'I can't beat them', and now that Enma is being triggered by Hiyori's song this can either make things worse or unintentionally give Zoro an in in regards to fighting the Lunarian.

As for the finale all we have to wonder is if Kanjuro informed Orochi that Komurasaki was Hiyori, it seems like he hasn't (of course he'd hide in the treasure room as well, Nami's gonna be wanting that) but the man is extremely paranoid, tread cautiously when enacting revenge.

One Piece Chapter 979 - Initial Thoughts

Is anyone else nervous? I feel like we should be nervous...

After another week break we have One Piece, and I feel like these waits are gonna kill me before COVID gets close

But Spoilers for the Chapter, and Support the Official Release when it comes out

Another cover story bombshell, oh my fucking god! Just...How!? Pound you lucky son of a bitch how the fuck are you alive? The Will of P has not yet been snuffed out! Does that mean that Pedro and Pekoms may still have a chance at revival? What happened with Germa too, where is my Baeju!? Also the Tontottas finding him is gonna be hilarious, giant man and little people, hopefully we get a family reunion...and maybe some reverie news

Still very concerned about Law, he wasn’t cut from panel this time but he just looks very, solemn, like he’s about to do something he’s not all happy about

I find it odd that not everyone is clued in on Kanjuro being on Orochi’s side, sure it slows him down but even the people on the ships that were intercepting the scabbards were able to identify him as the traitor

Momo though has got some ideas, he knows how to use a sword but he’s only gonna be able to cut the rope before Kanjuro notices, I doubt he could even use it on Kaido. I dunno, Momo does not seem to be that kinda guy, also if he was able to control his DF he’d be able to escape those ropes much easier

We’ve got the Brachio Tank and Black Rhino back out, I liked the Fishman Island nod but this also means we’ll likely be getting Franky Shogun again, but Franky made note that there were upgrades so maybe it’ll be a new Iron Pirate/Super Armoured Me

Definitely laughed at the ‘He’s for sure gonna be spotted’ and ‘He’s for sure getting lost’ because it’s so painfully true. They have good intentions but they’ll sneak off, don’t be surprised if Zoro walks into the exact wrong room

Alas poor Sanji, you can’t get in the Harem Tank. Usopp does lowkey know how to be a ladykiller (though I doubt he thinks about it, he does have a doctor at home). But Carrot does work the Beast Pirates garb too, as does Robin...but as I said last chapter with Nami, you could put a paper bag on them and they’ll make it work.

Ooof, right in the Frobin there. We know what that was code for Franky, ride the back of your motorcycle you dog!

But Brook has to tickle my funny bone too by thinking it’s for him XD I guess the small victory here is that it reminds me of Grim Fandango; a giant beast that lives to build and upgrade riding a beast of a machine with a snarky skeleton at the back

Sanji still trying to get on the Tank though, he should really be using Stealth Black to find Luffy and Zoro, get a Monster Trio team up ¬u¬

But this does give Robin and Jimbei (whose Beast Pirates garb is cool but does nothing for being covert since it doesn’t cover his Sun Pirates tattoo at all) some time to chat, we’ve got a new formation as the Mature Duo, I would add Brook or Franky to that but the two do tend to do silly things from time to time

Someone is lurking though, which is a little worry, but I don’t think they’re enemies. I think if they were they would’ve jumped at the two at this point. Could be a scout, or it could be someone ready to throw another spanner in the system

Yup, I love Ulti, she tickles me with her dual personality. Also Sasaki’s cape is fire, kinda reminds me of Minato Namikaze from Naruto, I also think it’s a little telling that Who’s Who doesn’t have a cape or any long garment, it makes him stand out a little bit more

So King and Jack can now be accounted for, and the former is the one who summoned the Flying Six. It also seems clear that everyone knows that the Six want the Disasters’ spots

I will continue to add that Kaido keeps looking smaller and smaller, I mean, look at his debut panel

he’s standing in a crater and he still dwarves Kid, Hawkins and Apoo, but in the panel he looks like he’s about 3 times taller than Drake (who is 2.3m tall, about 20cm taller than Kid), his scale just feels reduced

Also on heights, Black Maria is taller than King. That is a Giant Woman

Bao Huang makes me feel like Oda’s been playing some Legend of Zelda in his spare time, though I ain’t mad at it

The schedule seems a bit weird, Orochi has a speech after Kaido? I guess it’s just a welcoming address because Kaido will afterwards be announcing the Big Mom alliance

Kaido is keeping a secret, and that is actually quite intriguing...it also means that the Raid will not succeed for a while, since we are to expect to hear this Chekov Announcement

Kaido’s son is not seen, but we know his name: Yamato. It’s a very interesting name to choose actually; it can refer to simply the dominant ethnic group of Japan, the clan, the period, the province, the Yamato Dynasty prince Yamato Takeru, Yamato-damashiii, could even go Okama with Yamato Nadeshiko or even just the battleship. It could also be a corruption of Yamata, which connects to Yamata no Orochi

For my money, Yamato would be based off of Takeru. With some minor wikipedia research it does have some narrative notes that could fit being Kaido’s son, I doubt he would slay an older brother because Kaido calls him an ‘idiot son’, but Takeru’s father Emperor Keiko kept sending him to other provinces, I could see Kaido sending Yamato across Wano or the world to try and emulate Oden, the last man he respected. Takeru’s legend is also interesting because he gets the Kusanagi sword, which Susanoo fished from the Yamata no Orochi, there’s also a brief note of cross dressing and composing the first sedoka in the Kai province, which can tie in with the other Yamatos listed

Yamato must be strong though if the Flying Six see it as troublesome, Yamato could be the one hiding in the bushes behind Robin and Jimbei. Him being relative to the announcement makes me think that Kaido has an arranged marriage for him, since that’s how Big Mom does alliances, maybe it’s to Pudding, or Smoothie, or that bitch Flampe

Ulti again has no fucking fear, the steel balls of this woman. But Kaido knows when to dangle the carrot, Who’s Who definitely wants that All Star spot, which continues to add focus on him

LUFFY! How is it that you manage to get to the big ass crowd of people, and it’s not like Kid is hard to find, look for someone with a Metal Arm next to a guy who blurts out FAFAFA...and of course he almost gets his cover blown by some drunkard and gets distracted by food (his chest scar is back now though after disappearing last chapter)

Oh god...memories of sweet-baby Tama are found in the reflection of the spilled soup, the Beasts Pirates being clear about how they disregard and waste the food while others starve. I bet Zoro and Sanji would also react similarly in this state for their own other reasons, hell even Big Mom could have a word or two to say about it, she really enjoyed that soup

But when Luffy has that glare, few things are gonna stop him

So obviously, really good chapter. A lot of lines have been drawn in the sand and we’re eager to know what comes next. But as much as I am eager I am waiting for the main thing to go wrong. We’ve already split our Monster Trio, in fact the largest group of the crew are the Weakling Trio in the Brachio tank with Sanji who could disappear anywhere, Shinobu and Carrot, there’s still the uncertainty with Law as well.

I am keen to know more about Yamato (though I am a tad let down that Katakuri isn’t related to Kaido, only because I wanna see Katakuri again) and about the Flying Six, but it’s also gonna be a tough spot if Luffy causes a rumble right now, Apoo and Queen are in that area and BM’s crew, Orochi and the Numbers are all within earshot.

Alas, another week break, though when Oda made the announcement about COVID I kinda did expect it, I guess I’ll just have to toil about it in my own spare time XD But what’s important is that everyone stays safe, and an extra week can help with the fan theories.
