Bentham turning out to not be dead was disappointing the first time, but when the second time happened it started to become funny and I hope it happens a third time, to make it better

It did happen three times. Alabasta, Goldenweek cover story, and Impel Down.

Wait, I thought Mr. 2 was paired with the painter girl (I forget her name) initially?

I think the deal with Mr. 2 is because he is a drag queen that he is both the male and the female part of the partnership system that Baroque Works operates on.

Pedro survives the explosion, is nursed back to health by Chopper, then dies immediately afterward upon reaching the end of his natural lifespan. I don't want this to actually happen though, because I do not want to see Carrot cry anymore, ever.

I'm okay with Perospero taking out Brook and Chopper since he's old af and obvious insanely good at using his power, even if it is a silly one. Hope we get more Pudding next chapter though.

What's neat about the Big Mom Pirates is that their officers are so powerful, but even they just wilt in the face of Big Mom's wrath.

Like Perospero just crushes Brook and Chopper like it's nothing, but just a few chapters ago he was pretty much in tears when Big Mom threatened to eat him.

Also, I dunno if this was ever brought up in the thread, but Katakuri apparently got retconned in the volumes as having a special Paramecia and not a Logia Devil Fruit.

Yeah logias are supposed to be elements exclusively, and dogtooth is supposed to be like megellan trebol and mr3. Oda wants us to ignore that he was cut in half that one panel

Still happenin'.

Sorta. I think.

I guess he's sorta like a combination of body modification Paramecia (like some sorta mix of Luffy + Buggy) and creation Paramecia (like Mr. 3), while everyone else can only use one?

The One True Oden

Getting half your head blown off and not caring is like the calling card of a logia. In this chapter I actually thought it would be cool for him to just be a paramecia since it would make his powers really similar to Luffy's.



But then no turns out he just has logia powers but totally isn't a logia because reasons? Kinda lame.

Sub Harrison

Haki is so loving confusing.

I forgot this chapter had Dogtooth both getting gatling'd like above and trapping Luffy's punch inside his forearm. If these kind of powers keep appearing, we really need a chapter explaining how faux-gias work at this point. Even a couple pages of Dogtooth saying getting smashed up eats his stamina would suffice.

e: however I'm totally okay for Luffy punching fire solely for the memory of his brother. I think OP might be best enjoyed by ignoring Haki can hit logias except when there's no obvious weakness to the ability like water-crocodile and rubber-enel

Isn't his power literally just the candy guy's from the fourth movie? Dunno what's so hard to understand, he's a candy man.

Candy dude was a logia, Katakuri ain't.

There was also the confusion over Treble, but that got cleared up once Oda revealed that he was just a really skinny dude covering himself up in his Devil Fruit goop.

Yeah, retconning him into a Paramecia and then showing him getting blasted apart like a Logia is dumb, he should have just stayed a Logia, logic be damned.

Also please stop saying Dogtooth

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Wasn't it implied as far back as Crocodile that if a Logia truly mastered their fruit that even Armament Haki wouldn't help because they would just turn into their element and doge a split second before getting hit?

IceBorg

I KINDA DOUBT THAT!
I actually had a theory for a while that the Katakuri we see is a fake body made by the real one and that is why it works in a logia way because it's a body made of candy and that's it.

Bonus points if the real one's character design is really diferent in a really ugly non-badass, kinda like a reverse of that other Big Mom captain whose real body was a "badass design".

It might explain his precognition, which goes beyond regular observation haki, if he needs to sit somewhere and concentrate/meditate for it to work, but uses a proxy body so he can move about.

And yes, it would be a nice reversal of Cracker.

Eh I kinda can see it Katakuri working as a paracemia.

Luffy is a rubber man and punching him in his face causes it to stretch.
Katakuri is a candy man. And like most soft candy you can just tear pieces off and mush them together again.

People still don't get that it's the sacrifice itself that matters not the result? Pedro along with Bon Clay etc don't know they're going to survive when they make their selfless sacrifice.

It's not like they only give the Victoria cross and the medal of honour to dead soldiers, a selfless sacrifice is recognised regardless. Would be quite perverse otherwise.

Sure but if enough people in the story survive their suicide bombings it stops feeling like a sacrifice because we know they're going to live, and it cheapens the moment.

This.
Just enjoy the story in the moment and stop being cynical shits trying to lessen the impact by complaining about stuff that hasn't even happened yet.

Pedro just really wanted to blow himself up! Chopper and co prevented him from doing so before. So I'm glad he got a second shot at it.

I like Pedro. :( I'm super bummed that he might be dead.

Edit: vvvvv That would explain why Luffy wasn't able to punch him, since I don't think haki works on the substances produced by paramecias, only on logias because it's still their actual body, unless I got that wrong?
