Any chance Big Mom mistakes Chopper and friends for her orphanage? It's a stretch but I feel she'll mistake Chopper's ninja garb for mother's habit.

Chapter 598 "Two Years Later"

Hahaha Luffy still owns. These animals are my friends, which kinda sucks cus I can't eat them. Holy poo poo, SOUL KING BROOK! He's a superstar! Man, Sanji looks the same cept for a goatee. Oh gently caress, there are the straw hat pirates! Luffy put on some weight, and Franky is less robotic than I remember. Hahaha Nami loving with these fakes is great. Usopp has a new hat! Not a huge fan of his new hair though, but I'm sure it'll grow on me. DAMM HES FUCKIN RIPPED, WHAT HAPPENED. Oh good, Sunny survived. Haha poor Duval, nobody listens to him. drat, Robin looks like a mom now. Whoa! And Chopper has a BIG HAT! Aww, Chopper thinks the fakes are the real straw hats! It's sad but cute, Chopper is so precious. Hahahahahahahah the fake Luffy ran into the real one, gently caress yes.

Ooh, Luffy's bounty is up to 400m! Nice! Goddamn, Luffy dropped him just by glancing at the guy! I can't wait to see how strong he is now. FRANKY IS HUUUUGE! Where'd his pompadour go??? He's got big fuckin shoulders now! Aww, poor Chopper still thinks the phonies are the real deal... Hah, Zoro cut a boat in two. I wonder what happened to his eye? Some wound from his training with Mihawk?

Oh my god Luffy is going to fall for the fakes too, isn't he? These caribou brothers are kinda dicks, but I like how the one talks to "God dude". Whoooa, Chopper is so excited about Franky's new body!!! Franky had a tiny hand inside of his hand! Whoa, There's Franky's pompadour!

I love how Brook is a superstar, absolutely love it. I also love Luffy being so confused as to why these guys are calling him their boss. Oh gently caress the pacifistas are here. RIP fake strawhats. Ooh, can Luffy now activate gear second in only specific parts of his body? He didn't even need to crouch down and prepare it! And then he dropped the pacifista in a single punch!! I'm so excited to see him fight!!

Whoa, Perona is back! Is she gunna join the crew? Aww, she only brought Zoro here. I want a cover story about the two of them sailing together, I bet it was great. Anyways, down to the Fishman island!!

OH poo poo THE STRAWHAT USED TO BELONG TO ROGER!! How come TWO legendary pirates wore the straw hat before Luffy, yet he's the first one to become associated with it? Cus of his pirate flag I guess? Huh, Kuma defended the Sunny? But was he all roboticized?

The Caribou are boarding the Sunny! Or, rather, ONE Caribou is, hahahahaha. Luffy owns, just poking Caribou with a stick as he's tied up. CHOPPER FINISHED ONE OF BROOK'S SKULL JOKES! Aww, don't look so down, Brook. Lmao Nami put on a coat to stop Sanji from nosebleeding. Oh, apparently it's actually cus of the cold, but whatever. Brook: it could take up to two thousand years for a ship to return to the surface. Luffy: YEAH NOW I'M GETTING EXCITED! A Kraken! LET'S MAKE IT OUR PET!

FRANKY HAS ROCKETS!! I also love Luffy/Zoro/Sanji just going "these lifelines are annoying" and taking them off immediately. CHOPPER HAS A BIG GUARD POINT! Whoa what, Luffy's arm turned black? Is that the armor haki, or something else..? FRANKY NIPPLE LIGHT!

That giant thing is weird, must be Japanese mythology. Hey, Luffy tamed the Kraken after all!

THEY FINALLY MADE IT TO FISHMAN ISLAND! "Better to die ogling mermaids than live without fulfilling my dream" Sanji throwin' down some wisdom. Whoa, huge monsters! Oh, more Arlong-ish fishmen are riding them!

They made it into the island! Oh gently caress, NOW THEY'RE UNDERWATER. Aww, Camie is back! With kids? Oh, but half the gang got split up... Oh, they're Camie's friends! Uh oh, is the fish dude going to be the next big bad guy? Is it Arlong's brother or dad or something??

Something inside me calls out passionately to the landscape I saw - the end of the sea of corruption to which you led me.
What a boatload of information this chapter and Robin action and yamata no orochi true reveal and Kyoshiro preparing for action. How good is this series going to get, goddang.

That's the yakuza guy. I was talking about the woman who wears a mask while playing the instrument. I eventually figured out it was Komurasaki. Robin was wearing a mask and that confused me for a bit.

Also, reading a chapter quickly made the details blurry.

It was Komurasaki playing the instrument.

Presumably she's really Momotaro's sister, the tune is something related to her family, and the reason she wears a mask is to hide her tears or whatever due to the memories that it brings up.

I found myself oddly liking Orochi before he flipped out and attacked a child. He almost seems like a much weaker and more fragile Blackbeard.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Orochi's attitude makes a lot of sense for someone who's basically a puppet for Kaido; he's all too aware of how precarious his position is while having to project a facade of invincibility, so when he slips it's going to be confusing and silly to people who've bought into him.

Ghost Leviathan

I do like that Sanji immediately brings up how he's going to ask Usopp and Franky to customise his Raid suit when he gets the chance. He's definitely not so stupidly proud to refuse a strong powerup, just that he justifiably hates the associations with it. Does make me wonder how he'd have it cosmetically customised to suit his personal style. Also wouldn't be surprised if between the two of them they add some upgrades.

IIRC Franky and Usopp share a workshop, though with their own sides to it. We haven't really seen how they work together in that respect, though I get the feeling they'd get along better than you'd think. Franky does have a legitimate background in engineering and specialises in vehicles, while Usopp is more of a tinkerer and has shown a knack for incorporating biotechnology, I imagine they respect each others' fields of expertise while learning a lot from each other. (and I imagine Franky really wants an assistant he can rely on when maintaining the Sunny)

that chapter was so good goddamn. of the shogun-side of the faction here, i'm assuming kyoshiro is the real power. i had thought orochi might have some muscle himself, and he might indeed, but i doubt he's able to give a rough time to any real fighter all things considered.

Does that tune imply a particular Japanese song?

And I see I was right now that Orochi likely has a SMILE fruit in the form of a multi-headed dragon.

Snake or Dragon sub-type?
And is it a Smile?
Hmmmmmm

Depends on how strong or goofy Oda wants him to be. And orochi is already pretty drat goofy.


The villain scared so shitless of ghosts and prophecies hes actually a nervous wreck tilting at windmills is a good trope. Im not sure if its a common trope in Japanese stories but it sure feels like it.

probably not - note that all SMILE users revealed so far, as far as I can remember, either have horns on their head or their ears are replaced with the ears of the animal their fruit is based on

it seems like all smile users just constantly have animal parts they can't disappear. Like the lion crotch guy was a smile user too, for example. But you also got people with goat legs or horse bodies and so on, that they're always in rather than the true zoan hybrid state

Yeah it seems like the smiles effectively are all "broken" in some way. Ranging from just like, you are permanently in a partial transformation like Speed or you're like the dude who has an entire Hippo for an rear end lol
