Considering what we're seeing haki do post-timeskip, I'm not sure why people still think it's "ambition". It's just the usual shounen power with a different name. Oda wasn't obviously gonna call it chakra or chi or reiatsu...

It is ambition, and chi. It's "ambition" written with the character for "chi."

It's still the physical manifestation of someone's ambition/will, it's just that it works an awful lot like plain old chi at this point. Still no energy blasts at least!

Not really. It's a step in that direction, but there's still a long way between that and a spirit bomb or rasagen or getsuga tenshou.

That was a neat end to the fight, in my view. I'm sure not everyone will be satisfied, but it feels like they fought to a draw, but Luffy had something he had to get up for and that one last bit of driving energy was all that made the difference. It wasn't a flashy triumphal end, because it's not the end of the arc by a longshot, but it was a pretty satisfying end to a grueling fight.

From here on out it's all got to be stuff happening.

Also cool is that Katakuri initially falls forward after the clash, but once he and Luffy get back up to exchange their final words he allows himself to fall on his back for the first time in his life.

That was actually a great ending to DogtoothKatakuri. I hope him and Luffy join Franky and Senor Pink for that drink in the future. Also glad Pudding got her kiss after. Next chapter better be Sanji kicking some rear end. He's been due for a good fight for the last 10 years.

That final scene with Katakuri is so wonderful. This entire arc is a phenomenal handling of multiple characters.

I'm almost having a hard time remembering if all of One Piece is as good as this saga or if it's just always been exceptionally great. What's a good way to recommend something that's almost 900 chapters long to people?

A dude made of rubber and a dude made of mochi beat the poo poo out of each other. At one point, mochi dude pauses to stan himself.

It is one of the best fights in the manga.

Incredible chapter. Oda has really been on fire lately.

I'm so glad :bignews: is shaping up to be important going forward, and didn't end up being a forgotten background character.

Say only the first 100 chapters are canon, the rest are spinoff stories. If they read up to Arlong Park and like it all you have to say the next 800 are more and better.
