the dovetailing of plot threads with the cover story is going to be nuts. with all the informatino we have right now, blackbeard is ostensibly on the verge of having multiple ponelyphs and someone who could read them.

The paneling in this chapter was really interesting, feels like Oda's trying to condense more action into each page. Probably the smart thing to do if he wants to get to the ending reasonably soon.

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
it's extremely blackbeard (aokiji is working for him, remember) to swoop in and try to steal both poneglyphs & pudding after big mom & kaidou were defeated. but i don't wanna see law get killed/kidnapped/whatever already, i was hoping for him to become a friendly rival figure. blackbeard going after kidd wouldn't have the same impact i guess though.

i think we know more about kuma than mihawk really.

Usopp is gonna attack Van Augur to force him to warp right into a trap that Usopp set up earlier. And it’s gonna own

I think using Haki to nullify Devil Fruit abilities is new information, correct? Before we only knew that Blackbeard's Darkness fruit powers could nullify other Devil Fruits. This explains a lot in terms of Roger conquering the seas through Haki alone and Kaido's "Haki conquers all" speech during his battle with Luffy.

It’s kind of like using armament haki to defend. You can’t stop someone from using their powers completely but you can stop their effects on you.

That's been a thing forever, but I feel like this is the first time we've seen someone reverse the effects of a devil fruit's abilities on them just by flexing their haki.

I think it’s the idea that haki can overcome fruits like Peronia’s or Iva’s or others that are more like status effects, not punching logias.

Anyway Law told Kidd that he can’t use his power on the old emperors because they’re too strong, so it’s not entirely new. Also I feel like I remember Virgo resisting Law’s fruit with his haki but I’m not gonna read through Punk Hazard to confirm.

Yeah, usually it's that the effect doesn't happen at all because they were "too powerful". This still feels entirely keeping with that idea though, or rather that Law is coming to grips with the applications of his haki in a way he hadn't considered before, based on his experiences fighting Kaido and Big Mom. "My body was affected.... but if I exert enough will I should be able to dispel that effect" basically.

I was under the impression that the gag with Pierre was he was just a bird that ate a regular horse devil fruit, so his pegasus form was just the mishmash of his horse form with his natural wings. I will continue to believe this as an excuse for him to still be alive.

Vergo told Law his powers wouldn't work on his haki, but he's never shown actually resisting it, I think. That one fight they had, he underestimated Law's output and Law fuckin' cleaves a mountain in half and Vergo with him. And even before that his Counter Shock landed on Vergo, but Vergo just powered through it because he's insanely durable (even Dofflamingo and Big Mom were noticeably in pain after Law landed it on them).

But yeah I think Vergo is the first instance where it's hinted that haki can block/protect against fruit powers.

I lied, I went back and found it, it’s actually Doffy on a denden mushi telling Law that his powers won’t work because of Vergo’s haki, and references a fight between them in the past. Then Law chops the island in half :black101:
