Presumably they are inside of him now. So he's like manifesting his presence inside of himself or something. Who know what kind of powers that gives him. As the lord of his castle he could have all kinds of abilities.

Capone rules. It took me a sec to figure out what was going on when he plopped into the dining room, but when I realized I was floored. I also think it is a bit of a copout that "my generic pirates with guns are much stronger than the regular brand of pirates with guns" but at least it makes him more of a viable threat.

Yeah, but then Mihawk is meant to be normal sized but he's drawn huge in some panels with the other Shichibukai. Brook is like twice Sanji's height there, but Oda's not super great at relative height sometimes.

Whenever I read Capone's dialogue, I can't help but vocalize it as Fred Flintstone's voice.

This only improves it, IMO.


Also, it'll be interesting to see how they escape from Capone's body-castle. We'll probably see more of Capone's DF powers in action, which in this case I'm imagining will function a lot like Law's ROOM abilities inside the body-castle.

Since we know Nami/Brook/etc escape at some point and Sanji and Caesar are taken away, it'll either be:

a.) There's a mad desperate fight to escape and Sanji/Caesar hold Capone and his men off while Nami/etc find a way to leave the body-castle

or

b.) Sanji makes a deal to leave the Straw Hats for Big Mam's crew permanently vis a vis marriage into the "family" along with Caesar in tow in exchange for Nami/etc's safe release, leading to the Straw Hats confronting Big Mom's crew directly after leaving Zou to get Sanji back in an Enies Lobby-style pursuit

I really, really think it's B.


Plus, is it just me or do the Yonkou seem to have a pretty good handle on the happenings/history of the world? The Revolutionaries, too, seem to have a grasp on things and do their research on what's going on with other crews, factions, and organizations.

Capone himself seemed to be pretty familiar with the Straw Hat's abilities already before encountering them on Zou. Pekoms seemed to have done his research on Caribou before showing up on Fishman Island too. Maybe this will mean we'll get more plot-dump/world info-dump as the Straw Hats interact with the Yonkou more closely? I'm betting we'll get the Vegapunk encounter or Devil Fruit-info dump by the time the Straw Hats get close to Kaidou and figure out how SMILEs/Devil Fruits really work.

Kuma's info, likewise, will probably show up by the time the Straw Hats meet up with Dragon and deal with the aftermath of the Blackbeard Pirates invasion on Baltigo.


tl;dr There's a lot of really cool and compelling story left in One Piece, is what I'm really saying.

Wait, that reminds me: How is Capone's mini-gun different from Caribou's mini-gun? I'm guessing Pekoms was not expecting to be literally stabbed in the back like that versus on Fishman Island so he had no time to react and use his turtle Zoan DF powers.

Pretty much, yeah. It's been established that bullets still hurt you no matter how strong you are if you're shot defenseless unless you're Luffy and have immunity to them at all times or a Logia who's body reflexively turns into your element.

Law also got shot by Doffy.

So Pudding is the 35th daughter? I guess that explains the second half of Big Mom's name. I wonder if they're all her real daughters, or if she's adopted them into her family (like Whitebeard)?

If Lola is one of Big Mom's daughters I'm guessing she'll be invited to the wedding.

Yeah, but that was after being tenderized after a whole hell of a lot, being old and relatively infirm, and struggling to take his last steps to beat the poo poo out of Blackbeard after having his face blown off by Akainu. It was basically the last straw that broke the camel's back at that point.

What I wanna know is what caused Capone to join up with Big Mom in the first place.

I don't think it was as simple as 'getting-rear end-handed-to-him-by-Emperor' via Ace style; he might have just wanted to just continue being a pirate with more protection (he is a mafia theme after all)

Now you made me remember that scene where all the Blackbeard pirates are ganging up to kill Whitebeard, and like there are dudes going wild with tridents and swords and poo poo and there's Xusasu Busasu, the strongman, the guy whose nickname is literally "Champion," with this tiny little pea-shooter pistol with a barrel maybe the size of one of his fingers, squeezing the trigger with the most intense look of concentration on his face.
