One of his twin fetuses will absorb the negativity, leaving Parasitic Blackbeard unaffected.

Yep, this chapter was everything I could have hoped for!

Blackbeard's whole thing is being really susceptible to damage but things somehow work out for him anyway. I can't imagine him being immune to any kind of attack, regardless of how many fetus twins he has.

Yeah but at least you can arrive at the idea of how that happened with General Franky! How the heck did they end up thinking he's the boat? To be clear I'm not saying it's setting up anything big, but hell Duval's a character who will probably fight with/be part of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet in the final war.

it's all just a big misunderstanding; the Marine in charge of bounties said "Franky? Well, he's the ship, right!"

Blackbeard is a dude who spent like thirty years on Whitebeard’s crew as a flunky despite being by all accounts strong as heck waiting for one specific fruit, no way that dudes not negative.

Good pallet cleanser of a chapter, Oda is great at writing comedy. Emperor Luffy being introduced beaten up by his navigator and shoved in a cage... perfect.

Also Nami has conquerors Haki? Sure why not.

...was it tho? could go either way, imo. Personally I'm cool with it eitherway, but it's funny if Nami has it but can only activate it when pissed off.

Amazing chapter. New bounties, Jimbei crew interactions, learning what’s going on with Buggy’s crew, great stuff. Interesting that the revolutionaries also don’t know what the deal with Sabo is.

Mihawk's called the "Marine Hunter" probably cause he went around cutting up Marines, I don't think it's strange to think that cops would consider pig butchers a higher threat than someone who kills civilians.

I do wonder if it's because he's the kind of guy who would sink several Marine Battleships while looking to duel with a strong swordsman like Issho

This is just setting up Buggy for his glorious power up and he beats up these bullies

With regards to Mihawk's bounty: he's always been presented as Shanks' rival and a superior combatant. He may have only been a Shichibukai, but he's always been on a Yonkou level when it comes to pure combat ability. At least that's the impression I've always had. The only reason he wasn't a Yonkou before is that he couldn't be bothered to do anything but study the blade. Now that he's got Buggy and Crocodile to handle the logistics of running a pirate empire, he's instantly as threatening, if not more threatening, as Shanks is as a Yonkou. His bounty appropriately reflects that, even if Buggy gets the actual title.

My guess would be that Buggy is eventually going to pull off some bluff so insane that even Croc and Mihawk become respectful of him. Probably something involving his relationship with Shanks - I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow ends up taking the credit for beating him. He's following almost exactly the same arc as King from One Punch Man lol

Id say sure yeah mihawk might just edge out shanks in a straight fight but its been implied thats shanks ability and strength as an emperor is also very much tied to his crew.

Like how Whitebeard was the strongest human but what made him an emperor was his massive, highly loyal fleet composed of strong people in their own right.

Otoh this does imply mihawk has been severely holding back. Cant wait so see him go full on sicko mode

We're also going to end with Buggy being publicly acknowledged as the Pirate King, as is correct


Buggy will not be pirate king because he's going to wind up being King of the World.

It's Franky. Consider - what are the odds that he built in the potential for the General Franky and the Sunny to be able to combine?

This is foreshadowing the fact that Franky's final powerup in the last arc will be Tengen Toppa General Franky using the Sunny's hidden transformation powers to make a larger mech. There is no way the guy who secretly wants to write a mech anime isn't going to do this.


Yeah this is very obviously a setup for him to fully lean into the Battleship Franky naming scheme and make himself the Sunny. BF-39 is gonna rule.
