I don't think we've ever seen Luffy quite like this before; usually when he gets taken down he's immediately trying to get back up while yelling his head off. Quiet, seething rage is new, like he's focused on gearing up something really, really big.

I definitely think it is likely that his response to this situation will involve "Gearing up".

I'm curious what was in that paper to make the other Strawhats make that face. It wasn't just Luffy showing up. It had to be something else. Probably why he has bandages on on face.

Before he left, Kaido said to avoid calling Luffy a pirate in the newspaper, right before a late extra edition came out.

Being so loving pissed that your opponent can feel it even when you’re unconscious is pretty baller. And Luffy landing in a cell next to Kidd is exactly how I wanted this to go down.

Did I miss something with Law? It looked like he went straight from getting hit by the sea stone nail to having escaped.

E: Oh, literally the explanation is “I think he escaped.” Not that hard for him after he got the sea stone off him, I suppose, but letting him do that is sloppy, mooks.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

so this is based off a five-part story structure with intermissions

fifteen chapter parts adds up to around 984 chapters, with intermissions, that means both wano and reverie could end right before chapter 1000 lol

That'd actually be a pretty good idea to essentially have two separate arcs going on at once. You could divide each section of Wano into parts and then cut back to the Reverie in between.

I really hope Kidd calls them on that when he and Luffy inevitably team up to escape.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the "feed prisoners poisonous fish to break their spirit" bit is gonna be important to the escape. Since Luffy's immune to the poison, Kaido's goons are essentially helping him out without realising it.

I think it's just for that specific prisoner, I'm a little confused if the fish spitter was kidd or not. If it wasn't kidd, my guess might be the ex warden of impel?

Ooh
An idea popped into my head.
Since Wano is apparently where Seastone originated, or maybe its craftsmanship, theyre probably going to be stuck with some seastone studs to stop them doing anything dangerous.

(OH GODDAMN SMOKERS JUTTE IS FROM WANO PROBABLY.)

Anyways
Im hoping we get a depowered luffy section, and we get to see him Garp it up

Holy poo poo what a chapter. And setting up all of Wano like a kabuki play is genius.

quote:

Nearly every full-length play occupies five acts. The first corresponds to jo, an auspicious and slow opening which introduces the audience to the characters and the plot. The next three acts correspond to ha, speeding events up, culminating almost always in a great moment of drama or tragedy in the third act and possibly a battle in the second and/or fourth acts. The final act, corresponding to kyu, is almost always short, providing a quick and satisfying conclusion.
