One million year old near dead Whitebeard effortlessly crushed Akainu

And Akainu melted half his face off in return, and then climbed out of the hole and was all 'STRAAWWWW HAAAAAAT'

Didn't stop him though! And again that's when he'd already been stabbed through the chest and according to marco was totally hosed from his illness.

She was last seen when Sanji caught Nami and ran to the castle with her last chapter. She appears for a shadowy panel looking kind of sad between two Nami/Sanji panels

As soon as Bege said he loved his family, Luffy charging to his rescue became a certainty.

Sanji's family don't stop being assholes but I like that even them can get sort of redeemed. It doesn't undo anything they did but it's something.

Also Bege (who also did some awful poo poo) owns, and Gastino consistently makes the best faces in this comic.

Why I love One Piece:

Everyone else: *spends the entire chapter concocting a plan to escape*

"Luffy, don't fight Big Mom!" "Okay"

Last panel: *Luffy starts fighting Big Mom*


It's like the beginning of Enies Lobby all over again :allears:

Yknow it's something that's been brought up before but one of my favorite minor bits of One Piece are when non-crewmates stick around between multiple arcs Johnny and Yosaku style. Law and the Wano crew are one thing, but I really do still get a kick out of Caesar being forcibly allied with the Straw Hats for nearly 200 chapters by this point. Despite having long since outlived his initial purpose, they keep finding ways to make him useful. You'd almost forget he was the primary antagonist of an arc that, in-universe, was only maybe a couple weeks ago.

I think this is part of why I like this arc so much--this makes it feel like an older One Piece arc.

Also, that cover page was amazing.

A dying man backed into a corner is like an angry badger bear momma protecting her cubs. Akainu is lucky he didn't spit in death's eye two days or two fatal attacks earlier.

I can't wait for the moment Bege realizes Luffy's idea of a temporary alliance means becoming best buds on adventures.

I was reading through the thread reaction to Zou recently and the reaction to Bege showing up was fairily uniformly "ah this oval office again" and now he is a prince and we should all protect him.

I'm on the Bege u-turn bandwagon. Initially I thought he was a fairly boring design with a semi interesting power. Now I can't wait to see more of him and his plans going awry

Being revealed as a true family man was a big turning point. Mobster is kind of boring by itself, but I think being a loving husband, father and boss to his subordinates made him cool (in addition to BIG FATHER)

I liked Bege's design and powers initially, but yeah he's solidly one of my favorite supernovas now. His crew of mafia goons are fantastic and I hope they all tag along for Wano.

didnt he fork one of his minions when they suggested not getting into it with jewelry bonney? also he cuts heads off horses to watch them twitch. his main objective in life is to sow chaos through violence in any organization that is not his own.

No it was just a minion. His goons call him Father as a sign of respect like Godfather.

Presumably like Doflamingo he cares more for his inner circle then his low ranking goons. Though he cares a lot for the crew as a whole.

The Strawhats are setting up to take down Kaido, while Blackbeard will finish off Big Mom. Then it'll be Luffy, Teach and Shanks racing to Raftel.
