Didn't Kidd try to get an alliance together to take on Shanks before they turned traitor on him?

Yeah that was the goal of allying with Apoo and Hawkins but I think Apoo was already working for Kaido at the time, and Hawkins joined up rather than get killed or imprisoned

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

Wanna know the best part? Look at the angle of the attack. Shanks used the blunt side of his sword.

Edit: Or maybe I don’t know how hands work.

I know Kidd's abject defeat is the headline, but I love that Shanks has a whole fanclub of weak but earnest allied pirates he takes care of. He just wants everyone to have an adventure.

Kidd lost his arm going after Shanks. Turns out he apparently didn't get anywhere near the man himself last time.

Pretty funny that Urouge is the one Supernova that hasn't appeared at all in the last like 6 or 7 years and he hadn't done anything even before then. Everyone else had a pretty good run, and Bonney's getting her time in.

he still bodied sweet commander snack before retreating but I hope that isn't the only notable moment oda writes for him

I absolutely believe Shanks wouldn't have just gone to destroy Kidd if he didn't immediately pull out his nuke and threaten to kill a shitton of people in the crossfire but openly challenged him like he was probably expecting. Instead Shank immmedaitely treats Kidd as a massive threat that has to be put down brutally now and his giant allies clean up

The double-spreads in this chapter are insane, holy poo poo! Also, Shanks lives up to his reputation as a fearsome pirate who strikes the fear of God into his enemies. I got shivers.

I think the most surprising bit of info we learned is that Shanks intentionally keeps weak pirates under his banner to safeguard them in the New World. I also think the symbolic contrast between Shanks' and Kid's philosophies on this point is fantastic.

10/10 chapter, no doubt.

E: Also this chapter makes a pretty big distinction between the Red Hair crew and the Red Hair fleet. The fleet is the weakest among the Yonkou (even Luffy has some heavy-hitters in his fleet), but the core crew is incredibly strong across the board.

Oh for sure. That's basically explicit if the translation is accurate- Shanks is asking if Kidd has recovered from Wano and when he's told Kidd looks fine Shanks is all, "Ah that's good then." Like he's looking forward to a nice friendly fight with a really powerful rookie. Maybe they'll learn something about each other through the conflict and come to an understanding.

And then Kidd points a gun at someone Shanks cares about and seconds later it's all over.

It's cool to see how terrifyingly powerful the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates are. I feel like normally when giants show up, they end up as jobbers to show off the power of human characters. It's nice to be reminded that there is a reason Elbaf has a reputation as a military powerhouse
