I know I'm being a whining weiner here but this year's chapters have had some of the most critical moments OP history and people are gonna have their memories forever diminished or outright tarnished because they first read them on a scan of a toilet paper pencil etching that's been filled in with crayola... have some respect for the art that u love guys cmon, this is like watching a 240p camrip of a movie where half the dialogue is drowned out by someone farting
I totally respect feeling this way. If anyone's on the fence or worried about feeling this way, do not read the current chapter. It's rough. Definitely recommend steering clear if you have any doubts at all.

But also maybe don't actively try to make people feel worse who've already read the chapter? If you personally are feeling bad you read it, you've got my every sympathy and that's really unfortunate and I get it. But going around and saying this awesome poo poo is "forever diminished" for anyone reading this scan is just kind of mean. It's clearly a different experience to have first read this chapter in this way, but there's really no point in comparing potential experiences after the fact except to make yourself feel bad for having 'missed out' or something.

A lot of us read a manga that introduced us to Tanjihado Lofulamingo and Bisoromi Bear and it was fine. For those who want to curate their first experience- good for them, do it up. For those of us who actually read the chapter, its horrible quality was impactful and memorable, but in no way detracts from how awesome the events of this chapter are.

Blackbeard has the right of it. people are going to lose their minds when Garp eats it. he's 100% throwing death flags here

I also liked Blackbeard's crew trying to run the gently caress away. true to the spirit of their leader

Chapter was loving amazing.

So at this point the only member of the
Blackbeards who isn't accounted for is Lafitte. He's also the only one whose fruit we don't know, soI suspect he's the one headed to Egghead. I bet we learn what his deal is and since he has hypnosis powers I could see him using that to steal a Vegapunk and gain control of the Seraphim for Blackbeards own purposes.

Unless I missed something, Kuzan was only in flashbacks here. There's no way he's not showing up at Egghead.

lol come on you clowns, this sentiment is so overblown who gives a gently caress -- we're (almost) all 30somethings or older reading loving childrens comics. get over yourself

I mean it's really nothing about the integrity of it or whatever.

It just looks like poo poo. You don't have to read something that looks like poo poo when something that doesn't look like poo poo is two hours away. It would be one thing if the bad scan came out on like Tuesday or Wednesday and TCB was a while off, that'd be whatever. But so close to the good scans? You can wait.

My guess he's got a paramythia that lets him fuse with islands. Like the stone guy from Doflamingo's crew. The Island already existed, so if he stops being the island he simply stops having control over the land.

You can see him in his regular body in the scene where Koby is talking to Blackbeard so yeah I'd guess he just merges with the island but in some way that gets around being paralyzed by the ocean.

I wonder who's gonna end up fighting him. It can't be Zoro again. Assuming Garp doesn't just decimate everyone and gently caress off I guess.

Is Kuzan doing some 300 IQ play here by mentioning how SWORD works? 'Teach, SWORD are Marines who has officially resigned their commission. Who can do whatever they like at any point, which includes fighting an Emperor. Just like me, actually.'

This feels different than past "decks of the world" Oda has done in that he's actually showing the Old Generation wrecking poo poo. He usually cut away before any action took place, or just showed us the meetings that happened in the aftermath. Cool seeing it.

Imagine it's to setup us losing one or two of them, while setting up how strong BB's crew is. Good luck out there Garp.

I think so, would be weird to drop a seemingly rather important bit of world building at the final hour like this without it going off in a bigger way down the line

100% there will be a scene down the line where Aokiji reveals he’s a traitor and Blackbeard will be like “yeah I knew that” and Aokiji will be like “yeah I knew you knew that”

Agreed. The people who read the Chuck E Cheese Activity Page version of the chapter know what they did and they will have to live with the consequences of their decision for the rest of their lives. We can leave it at that. Any further discussion is just ruining Garp Punch Day

garp is the best and i refuse to believe he goes down here. he's gonna wreck poo poo, rescue koby, and trigger a huge cascade of events in the process

i also loved that blackbeard's crew don't give a poo poo about what blackbeard wants and they selfishly go for the kill the second koby escapes. everything about the crew screams traditional scumbag pirates and it's great
