death is certain
keep yr cool
i feel like the cake plotline was kind of a wash tbh

not a ton happened during this arc but some stuff did so its cool

the cake plotline is how they escaped. if big mom hadn't followed the cake away, nobody could have gotten out alive and they'd all have died. it also saved the residents of the islands in big mom's territory

Sooo, whose dying from this? Doesn't seem like Jinbei since he already survived once. Maybe Aladdin?

I can't even remember who was close to Big Mom. Judge?

So, are the many, many people here who insisted that Big Mom goes down this arc, wiih half the crew and almost no allies , willing to concede defeat? Hard not to gloat, but cmon how anyone thought that was going to be the case when the characters outright say they're going to run multiple times is beyond me

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.
Jinbei's thing seems to be throwing up constant death flags that he somehow escapes, so I'm guessing that everyone in that alliance there dies except Jinbei, one of Sanji's sibblings (Probably not his sister) and a member or two from Capone's Gang, probably Chiffon and his first mate. They're basically fighting a full-power Yonko minus her first mate and best utility, but even without that there's no way that the Sun Pirates, Germa66, and Fire Tanks make it away without major casualties since Luffy was basically the strongest of the "Worst Generation" and barely edges out a win against a Yonko's first in command.

It doesn't make sense for Jinbei after all this buildup, but the way that chapter went, I'm honestly a bit worried literally everyone left behind is going to die here offscreen.

That, or they're all going to be saved by Strawhat Brulee and hang out in mirror world for a couple years.

God drat, what an unbelievable arc that was. Save some drag during the great cake chase, I can't think of a single thing I'm dissatisfied with.

Pretty much all she's done since Skypedia tbh, other than the part where she was kidnapped, then went back to doing nothing but standing around.

I was so excited when she joined the crew because it was so exciting having a former enemy that had really broken powers join the crew and uhhhhhhhh one time she suplexed someone on a cloud and broke their neck I guess

Was in good fun dude,don't be sour. We still mock the nanomachine/ chimera theories and that was what, 7 years ago?Half the fun of those discussions is one side gets to be right in the end.

I'm just curious as to who those figures appearing in front of Germa with the scythes and whatnot were. Honestly though, how do they all get out of this. I don't think they can pull a Urogue and escape to a Sky Island so how do they escape?

Robin has good screentime even if she barely ever gets fights, also her tanking the rain of spikes and bleeding afterwards was cool as heck, not everyone can be as cool/funny as Luffy/Zoro.

But compared to the other strawhats, she's basically bottom tier with Chopper who's still relevant because he's basically a mascot. Even in this arc, Nami has roped in a sentient thunder cloud as a power-up that would let her basically fly around too. Robin can teleport but she's still pretty frail otherwise. The other two combat-oriented Straw Hats that aren't in the monster tier are Franky and Brook who have both gone above and beyond so far. Franky will probably make huge upgrades to the ship in the future, Brook completed mission impossible and got rubbings of a polygylph. Robin is really only there to read them, she's become a plot device and not a character

My head cannon says Pudding only took the memory of the "last request" scene for her too keep as it's probably the last time the two of them meet. The panel composistion, Sanji's "What was your last request Pudding-Chan?" and the memories drawn on the film are my evidence.

Also lol at how hosed some thugs were scarring the face of one of Big Mom's children

It's super hosed up but now Katakuri is now the owner of the straw hat that originally belonged to Gold Roger, so you know Luffy and Dogtooth are going to HAVE to meet again. The only other time I remember Luffy taking it off and putting it on someone was all the way back when he put it on Nami before fighting Arlong.

That's Capone's hat. Luffy still has his straw hat, you see it on page 6 if you're reading on JB.

There was a lot of stuff left hanging, but I think it's better to leave some stuff to the imagination than stretch it out, like Dressrosa.

People have been calling Capone's hat the straw hat since Luffy first put it on Katakuri and I have no idea how that keeps happening. They don't even look remotely similar.
