ya the kaido - big mom alliance doesnt seem very strong......probably could break with enough tension. especially with hawkins talking about kaidous penchant for breaking up other peoples alliances

I wonder how laws knife skill would work against kaido. Seems like the best shot they have? Although since it's a shonen manga I doubt anyone but Luffy gets the last hit

Big Mom and Kaidou joining their full forces would be basically unstoppable, but Big Mom didn't bring everyone with her to Wano (probably because a lot of them were still recovering from injuries when she left Totto Land). She has Smoothie, Perospero, Daifuku, Compote, Mont D'Or, and some randos. Without Katakuri, Cracker, Streusen, Snack, and Oven, the Big Mom Pirates are a somewhat more manageable threat.

Katakuri finds out what happened, gets mad, teams up with Luffy, joins straw hats at the end of Wano arc.

Katakuri is going form himself around Luffy like Saint Saiya armor and they are both going to use foresight to stay in sync.

I think this could be a fake out.

The alliance is to take on the world government. Big Mom might trick Kaido into sending his toughest guys on a mission just before the Strawhat alliance attacks. And then she can pull an "our agreement said nothing about fighting Strawhats together." It would be a callback to the limited scope alliance Law wishes he had with Luffy.

Law beat Hawkins between chapters and cut him in half. Then they had a chat about Kaido and the fragility of alliances. Hawkins asks if Law is happy with his alliance with Luffy. Law makes a face and slices something off panel. The obvious answer is Hawkins, but why make it happen off panel if it's the obvious thing?

I like how the whole chapter is a review of the surprisingly optimistic situation. The rebellion has come so far, we've met so many people who want to help, and it really seems like there's actually a path to victory for the first time in this grim arc.

And then there's that final page.

One Piece has generally been very good about power levels. You get a good sense of how these things break down. And this is the payoff.

Beating Kaidou as a team was almost inconceivable. Now there's just no hope of victory at all and we're suddenly thrust back into anxious dispair. It's great.

(The obvious hope is breaking up the Kaidou/Big Mom alliance, but that shouldn't be your first thought on seeing them ally.)

Seems like Drake has some sort of ulterior motive towards Kaido, since he intentionally sought him out and now he’s letting Law go. Maybe just wants to kill him but realized when he met Kaido that it’d be impossible even with a few supernovas so now he’s waiting for an opportunity? Also since Hawkins isn’t working for Kaido voluntarily he’ll probably help out once the raid starts.

Also Big Mom is totally going to betray Kaido, she probably thinks this is a good opportunity to get rid of Kaido and the Strawhats at the same time.

I could see this being a thing. Not really quite sure how I'd feel about it. Feels too predictable.



This. What happened and where the hell did THAT come from?

They're mad about the cast of Dragon Ball reading some erotic fanfiction in the booth at some point in the past. (May in fact be 2001) The audio was leaked out, and some people are taking offence at private joke, and saying they should be fired and stuff.

Read about it on Resetera. If it was recent then yeah that would be controversial, but it wasn't. It was from circa 2001 or 2002. Crass and offensive as it was(and still is), that poo poo was EVERYWHERE and no one batted an eye about it. Obviously it's not cool, but it was a radically different time and culture about a lot of things that we've THANKFULLY moved on from.
