#ONEPIECE1042

This week's chapter: Winners shouldn't need rationalizations.

Take-away from this chapter: Oda stays unpredictable like always.

First of all, I was so shocked reading this because this just came from nowhere and honestly I just thought that Drake was really stepping up right now but

I should have known that they wouldn't take down CP0 like that (but honestly, Izo took down one of the CP0 in one panel so it would'nt have been too big of a reach).

Anyways

The citizens of the flower capital are still writing wishes on the lanterns and raising them to the sky, and I would love for Luffy to take down Kaido with all of the wishes and lanterns flying in the sky.

We cut back to Kaido versus Luffy fighting, and Luffy still in Gear Fourth - although he's still worried his Gear Fourth is going to run out before he has time to defeat Kaido (which!! Listen!! I don't think Gear Fourth is his last power up though? Haven't we gotten a power-up for every fight, and yes I know we got Conqueror's Haki for this one but don't you think we could get something else?)

And only in One Piece will you find the main villain of the arc doing this:

What is Oda even on 😭 😭

And then!! Kaido "takes one out of" Luffy's book and looks into the future, which would make sense because there's no way the main opponent in Wano wouldn't have future sight!!

I've seen a lot of people (already) talk about how it's weird that Kaido didn't use FS before, but it really... isn't? We know Observation Haki can be draining, especially when you see into the future. Kaido wouldn't use FS unless he really thinks that he couldn't have escaped Luffy's attacks and when he's truly on the defense. It really makes sense, why would you show all of your powers immediately?

We've also got Kaido telling Luffy, after Luffy says the Samurai are strong: A brave face makes them strong? Winners shouldn't need rationalizations!! Which are you?! Winner or loser?!

-- Which is interesting. Could this be a facade? Is Kaido talking about himself in a way? (Remember his sad drunk/depressed drunk phase when he was crying about not being able to fight/being too weak and "something" being his fault?) I think we might actually delve into Kaido's past soon!!

Then Kaido and Luffy get ready to attack one last time (Luffy saying this is literally the last attack he has in him)

WHEN SNAKE ASS CP0 MEMBER COMES AND DOES IRON BODY TO HOLD DOWN LUFFY ?????? LITERALLY WHAT?????? I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN SO SOON IT WAS LITERALLY THE LAST CHAPTER WHEN THEY TOLD CP0 TO "ANNIHILATE" LUFFY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO DO SO THIS SOON????

KAIDO WAS ABLE TO LAND A DIRECT HIT ON LUFFY TO KNOCK HIM OUT BECAUSE CP0 BUTTED IN LIKE THE SNAKE THAT HE IS LIKE WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT WHY IS IT WORTH RISKING YOUR LIFE JUST TO TAKE DOWN LUFFY DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS???? HE JUST RISKED ANGERING A DAMNED YONKO JUST TO TAKE DOWN LUFFY???? WHAT DID LUFFY DO WHO IS HE OH MY GOD

And also!! This has to mean something!!

This is Kaido's reaction to CP0 holding down Luffy, and a flashback of Oden's defeat gets brought to mind. It's sort of a parallell, and I'm pretty sure Kaido is going to go crazy in some way, but Luffy has to step back up and surpass that... damn

no break next week so we just gotta hope for some answers by then
