i do thnk that even if the cp0 guy hadnt intervened kaidou would have won the clash and then probably gone gear 5 after, all cp0 did was really loving piss kaidou off

I like to think the CP0 interference contributed to Gear 5 somehow just for the irony of causing the very thing they were trying to prevent.

we know the last batch of Pacafistas were cyborgs made to look like Kuma, not clones or the like.



Since when do we know this? Back when the Pacifistas first appeared on Sabaody it was pretty thoroughly established that they were identical to Kuma aside from his devil fruit power and the personality he still had back then. Since then we've learned that cloning technology exists and is connected to Vegapunk's research, I'd say it's almost certain that the old Pacifistas are straight up clones of Kuma.

In the fight on Saobody when they got damaged it was clear they were made of metal.

No Wave posted:

When was their identicity established? They shoot lasers out of their mouth and were full rear end robots when zoro cut into one. Kuma even shows up at the end of saobody and makes the difference clear.

Dispensing with the black bars since this doesn't really relate directly to the new chapter. Sanji made a comment about one of the kumabots being a cyborg and how that means he should be based on a guy identical to the real Kuma. X Drake seemed mildly surprised that a kumabot had red blood. Also the real Kuma himself shot a mouth laser on Thriller Bark and was shown to be made mostly of metal when Zoro cut into him. I'll dig around and post a collage of this stuff later.

Real Kuma on Thriller Bark w/ mouth beam



Pacifistas on Sabaody







That last line from Franky definitely reads as a foreshadowing to me now that we know that someone CAN, in fact, create humans from scratch.

Assuming that all the Strawhats' dreams are fulfilled by the end of the manga, what do you all guess their next dreams would be? I'm at work so I can't kick things off with a big post but that sounds fun to think about at the end of the day.

Going through Dressrosa on a reread and I just got to to the bit where Robin gets turned into a toy. Imagine the minutes of palpable relief that the Elder Stars must have felt without knowing why, until they suddenly remember OH poo poo NICO ROBIN EXISTS :allears:

I'm just finishing a reread of Dressrosa and I'm still disappointed with Oda making Doflamingo a physical powerhouse to rival Luffy on top of his top-tier DF power. We had so much buildup of Doffy being both a literal and figurative puppetmaster, I feel like instead of "punch harder" it should have been a "how to get to punch" scenario a la Enel Round 2. Despite also going long, Katakuri and Kaido were much more satisfying fights because they were set up as brawlers from the start.

Also, a detail I noticed, in the bottom middle panel here there seems to be some kind of smoke rising from Dragon. Could be just his cloak smoldering from presumably standing on Sabo's shipwreck, but there's a chance it's foreshadowing some kind of visual effect from a Devil Fruit transformation. My money's still on him having a wind power.

I just thought of a gag/plot point that is too obvious and good to not happen: Jinbei impersonating his own seraph form. Bonney can de-age him, Robin does the wings, Franky somehow provides the laser, Brook might provide the lunarian flame with his spirit form. Usopp is obviously in charge of planning the disguise. Caribou might turn the floor into a swamp for him to swim in? It's the perfect opportunity to have all the Strawhats working together and involve Jinbei in a great gag that serves the plot.

On my way through a Whole Cake reread and Hunger Mom is so loving cool



I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Whole Cake is the superior Vs Yonkou arc. Wano is great and all but it buckles under its own weight and it never quite reaches the same intense heights as the escape from Big Mom's turf.
