Sub Harrison posted:There's only been a few X00 chapters that've actually had a big moments happen, the rest are near beginnings and endings of arcs. Not necessarily big moments, but more often than not a X00 chapter will coincide with some sort of reveal or hype/significant moment. I've bolded the ones I think are noteworthy, and expanded on a couple. Ch 100: Luffy enters Grand LIne Ch 200: First punches landed on Crocodile Ch 300: A couple chapters into aftermath of Enel's defeat - Reveal of Enel's destination as the moon (and the relevance of 'endless varse'), second bonfire party with drums of liberation playing. Ch 400: Immediately follows I WANNA LIVE, Strawhats begin their 1v1s Ch 500: Rayleigh's introduction Ch 600: Middle of return to Saobody and fakehats. - chapter is titled "Island of New Beginnings", which bookends ch 508 "Island of Carnage" (the Strawhats' first encounter with a Pacifista). If it weren't for the title, I'd agree with you. Though, it's also interesting how ch 600 is our first introduction to Caribou. Ch 700: Law warns Luffy of pacing issues in Dressrosa (advice is ignored and he begins a Shonen tournament mid arc) - Reveal that Doffy has Ace's DF, plus the Strawhats arriving at Dressrosa. Ch 800: Formation of Strawhat armada Ch 900: Bad End Musical, Thousand Sunny is blown up and 2 week break begins Ch 1000: HIS NAME IS STRAWHAT LUFFY

I’m back to doing my reread and got through Jaya and am reminded of how much Blackbeard owns. I had forgotten that the “blackbeard is secretly twins/triplets/has a Kuato” theory isn’t baseless insanity because Zoro and Luffy both insist that Blackbeard is multiple people after their encounter. But man that intro of him being the opposite of Luffy in taste but still believing in dreams is just great. Also Bellamy just loving sucks, a total prick, glad he got immediately clobbered. It makes sense that the time he came back was Dressrosa, the worst arc in the series. Also having reread the fight with Crocodile also has Crocodile clearly speculating that Luffy just attacked him with Haki, though he doesn’t name it. Cool little bit on that on the initial read seems more like Crocodile speculating that Luffy figured out his weakness of water (which is what happened) but it’s entirely plausible he was wondering if it was haki. In addition, this reading things over again with current knowledge is making me kind of lean towards the rat-Shanks theory. The way the Gorosei talk about him before the warlord meeting makes it seem plausible.

Bellamy coming back as an actual for real dude that respected dreams was one of the best parts of Dressrosa, imo. Tbh it might be the single best part taken as a whole besides Usopp unlocking observation haki*, a lot of the other hype stuff like Zoro cutting up a guy the size of a mountain like butter and Gear 5 have lame parts attached (Zoro chasing Pica around for a dozen chapters because Oda wanted it to be climatic, Luffy’s dumb ten minute rule).

Next chapter is presumably the last one of the flashback but man, what the hell is Kuma doing over there? Isn't this less than a year before Luffy set sail?

this is the first we have heard about ace beating a warlord, it wasn't in the side-story either (to the best of my admittedly poor memory). really wonder why kuma is where he is at the end...

Man this chapter has honestly tons of details peppered in. So Kizaru/Sentomaru/Bonney connection comes from the time she was at Egghead to cure her disease. Explains the sympathy Kizaru showed. Given this is a year before Luffy sets out it means Vegapunk didn't create the Stella until at the very least that moment, even possibly until timeskip. This also means Bonney became a notorious enough rookie pirate at the ripe age of 9-9 and a half-10, drat. Girl was in a warpath to see her dad again. Also Saturn being the pettiest being in the planet cause the loss of free will is absolutely to parallel his words at God Valley.

I wonder if Bonney actually got the letters. It feels very World Government to just grab them and not let her have them. Vegapunk still had something he wanted to give her, so could be all the letters he managed to acquire through his connections? Something like that

I cried when Kuma cried in relief that all he had to do was die to save his daughter. Stupid good dad! She wants you with her! Fight for yourself, if not for your own sake then for hers! gently caress! I love Kuma so much. I also cried when I saw he went out to sea with a jolly roger designed by her. The Decks of the World retro-shichibukai edition was fun. I wonder what Kuma is doing at Fusha Village. There's not a lot of room for significant things in Luffy's backstory at this point. Did the World Government somehow find out about the gum-gum fruit? Maybe Fusha is a fake out and we're about to learn how Sterry became king of Goa.

Do we know if Shanks was sitting on the Gum Gum fruit for a while between stealing it and Luffy eating it? Either way he was definitely based on that area for a time given the comments about being the last time they can visit in the very first chapter. e: nvm thought we were further in the past than we are ragnarokette fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Nov 29, 2023 |

I reckon Kuma's been sent to investigate rumours of a rubber boy. He'll see signs of Nika within Luffy and discover his connection to Dragon, but they won't actually meet (we know Luffy doesn't recognise him at Sabaody). Kuma will feed the WG misinformation about Luffy and that'll throw them off Luffy's scent until Sabaody/Marineford. Also, on reread Kuma's encounter with the Strawhats at Thriller Bark seems to be entirely focused on evaluating Luffy's crew. He concludes they're too weak, but admires their loyalty and determination. No wonder he sent them all to places they could develop their skills and strengths further.

Kalifa's sister is absolutely either going to gently caress up and say something about what's really happening that Bonny overhears, or will be cruel for the sake of cruelty because she doesn't think Bonny can do anything. And a super-powered pre-teen is nearly as volatile as a super-powered teenager. Perhaps more so if they tell her they tricked her daddy. Props to Saturn for really solidifying his standing at the top of the One Piece Assholes I want to see punched into oblivion. Dude had some real competition, and he just smoked them all.

I was musing that he might figure out Luffy's dream and think he was the real deal (hence scouting/protecting the Strawhats later), but I had no idea how Kuma could do that stealthily. Of course he doesn't have to if he just erases the evidence after.
