anime was right posted:i think the pandemic basically gave everyone with sudden infinite free time the excuse to finally read it It's that and the fact that a long running popular Shounen that has been slept on by a ton of western YouTubers is content-creation gold for many channels. The series is like, what, 500+ episodes now, probably well past that. That is easy money over a long time period for reactors jumping on the bandwagon who are otherwise starved for content.

Somehow missed that Luffy was thrown from the island itself, thought on first read Kaido dumped his body into the main plaza to show everyone he's dead. So who's saving Luffy? The SH Armada catching him in the sea would be neat, but we already have a lot of characters in the arc. Maybe more likely it's Momo to the rescue. He's the only one who'd even know Luffy's falling to his death.

Definitely feels like Momo's time to shine, given how he can sense Luffy. Also he's going to be the next shogun of Wano, at some point he has to do something that demonstrates him growing into the role instead of running and/or hiding.

Wonder if Ninja lady can age up Momo into a young man and that's part of what allows him to help luffy next chapter...

I think the other important thing is that the Shonen Jump app means that it's now actually possible to (legally) read One Piece without spending eight hundred dollars or whatever it would cost to buy 95 loving volumes of manga.

There’s the omnibuses which are pretty decent for the price/quality so it’s only about $500!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is Momo's moment to do something brave! (Unspoilering my speculation to add to the current discussion) jassa posted:See the reason I think it could be Momo is because we know he's been actively monitoring Luffy's condition from afar, we know he can fly, and it would be thematically fitting considering he's always being protected and rescued by others. It'd also set him up to be present for the final showdown (presumably involving Yamato and Luffy) and ready to slow/stop the island's descent. The little guy can't fight yet, but his powers are still very well suited for rescue and support. And he needs to be actively involved in this arc's climax/resolution in some capacity.

Someone mentioned the tengu earlier, that's possible too. He hasn't really had a role yet and I assume the island is over Wano by now.

I wonder what Kaido is gonna do now? He's right that the Strawhats are gonna believe in Luffy until the end, but it would still be pretty bad if he went downstairs and started wrecking poo poo.

It's not like Luffy actually needs saved here anyway. Worst case is that he hits the ground and bounces a few times before he uses Gear 4 to get back into the fight.

The issue is that the last time someone was knocked off the top of Onigashima there was ocean below them It's possible it's gotten to land by now, but you'd think Kaido would have noticed that and not just assumed Luffy was about to die from hitting the ground.

It will be a PHENOMINAL narrative parallel for Luffy to fall from a flying island, hit the ground, survive, and get back up with a renewed sense of determination, considering how Kaidou was introduced.

Finally luffy will awaken to Gum Gum Bounce House and when he hits the ground he'll instead bounce back at mach speeds and punch kaido right in the dang nuts

prediction: Momo has to go and rescue luffy / carry him back up to Onigashima, only by the time they get there it turns out that Robin and Brook have defeated Kaido, leading to a dilemma of whether Luffy has to defeat Robin and Brook to become the King of the Pirates.

It'll either be him or Yamato. I've seen people speculate that he has the mythical White Tiger zoan to oppose Kaido's Azure Dragon.

The last chapter: "1v1, always bet on Kaido? Pft, Luffy got his conqueror's haki powerup, he's going to power through and upset this." This chapter:  ...Whelp Then there's Big Mom just shaking off Kid's attack, that series of panels looked great. All the art for Big Mom is fantastic; rapidly cycling through happy, anguished, murderous, bored... she is terrifying. It's been said so many times, but drat Oda is truly making the Yonko feel absolutely unstoppable monsters. For all the hits landed so far, it still doesn't feel anyone is actually a threat to either of them.

I'm killing time watching some YouTubers going through early One Piece, and for all the smoke and fire that's thrown around with the gears and haki these days, it's easy to forget the straight up gangster moments that happened. One of my favorite scenes is when Luffy is fighting Krieg who plays dirty by covering himself with an iron spiked quill wrap with his Come At Me Bro poo poo-eating grin on his greasy mug, only for the rubber man to flat slug through it anyways, loving ow dude, you love to see it

Im always surprised when people say Arlong Park is when the real One Piece starts because that’s always been Baratie for me. I mean, it’s more of a gradual sliding scale than anything cause the first thing that moved me was Usopp trying in vain to save his little village, but the combination of Luffy vs Krieg and the implications of Mihawk’s introduction (like holy poo poo, this guy cut up a fleet of ships on a whim and clowned a guy almost as sting Luffy without breaking a sweat, how strong is everyone else on the Grand Line???) are when OP starts being more than just a cute adventure comic. Well, exclusively that.
