That would make a lot of sense. She was banished and tried to get back in the good graces of Elbaf by marrying Lola to a prince or something, but then she ran off. It would also explain how she has so many kids, she's been building her family for hundreds of years!

gently caress this was such a good chapter. I can't wait to see Brook's concert next week.

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

I get the feeling everyone is going to fail to get free until Big Mam opens the bomb and knocks out all her fruit users, freeing Luffy et al. That'd pretty much be the only way to get him from fighting Big Mam now as he wouldn't think it's fair to fight her in her weakened state

It's a small thing, but I like that as the story goes a lot of the crew carries scars from their fight to the top.

Luffy: scar from stabbing himself in the face to impress Shanks, scar from Akainu almost killing him Marineford, and missing tooth from Sanji.
Zoro: giant gash from Mihawk, scars on legs from trying to saw his legs off to get out of Mr. 3's wax.
Nami: tattoo cover-up of Arlong's jolly roger
Chopper: broken horn from getting beaten up by other reindeer
Franky: run over by a train, did surgery on himself
Brook: crack in skull from Ryuma.

Good stuff.

They're not beating Big Mom with half their crew not even present.

It's totally happening because the whole theme of this arc is Big Mom is a coward who hides behind allies and political connections because at this point if she had what it took to be Pirate King, she could have done it already with what family she has and fighting ability. Luffy having all his friends and allies with him concedes that Big Mom's way of doing poo poo is the correct way

I don't think that was ever the theme. As Luffy pointed out back in Arlong Park, his crew can do things he can't; he needs them.

The thing though is, she's hiding behind her crew right now. Luffy needs his friends and crewmates, he freely admits that. But when someone needs to be knocked out, he does that because it's his job as Captain.

The inability to trust and rely on Crew or friendship is going to be what defeats Kadio. He's going to hulk out in the end game and try to beat Luffy single handily while Law and a bunch of his other allies team up with him and beat the poo poo out of him. He retains his title as world's strongest monster but Luffy gets closer to the one he actually wants.

900 will be Big Mom's defeat or after her defeat. Luffy becomes a Yonko at the big hundred wrap off.

1000 will be Akainu makes his move, Reverie happens and a big setting changing announcement happens there, or the Straw Hats learn where the last piece of the Road Polygraph is hidden after obtaining the other 3. Maybe just a scrub celebration that Luffy defeated Kaido and technically the Yonko system is completely gone, and the race for the throne of Pirate King has actually begun but I doubt it.

Not sure but what we know for sure is chapters 950-999 is gonna be a drawn out slog of a battle against some villan so that whatever-it-is happens on chapter 1000.

Y'know, the opposite of that, where he has to wrap up a battle quickly, is possible, too :kiddo:

Or heck, Oda might have learned from Dressrosa to pace himself better, and it'll feel natural, even.

Its gotta be Luffy Jinbei and friends cause a ruckus and Blackbeard shows up to take credit for downing Big Mom. The prelude to this arc had a lot of foreshadowing of Blackbeard making a big move and needing a load of weapons, and what could be a bigger fortress than Whole Cake Island.

Then Strawhats regroup and get credit for stomping Kaidou with the Luffy armada.
