I read the chapter again and turned on the Pillar Man theme song when I reached the page of Carrot's transformation , and it was incredibly fitting and satisfying.

That meme is so overused.


When it's a single character transformation, use Avalon instead :getin:

The rabbit (as well as the crocodile) were just regular animals infused with souls and they all got owned by chopper and carrot when they first captured brulee

That's right, completely forgot about that. I rewatched Big Mom's intro song in the anime a couple of nights ago, so the rabbit was fresh in my mind.

So what all Strawhat allies do we have headed their way? Bege Pirates, Germa, Luffy; are the Sun Pirates still around or did she lead all the surveillance snails out of the territory?

I'm also curious as to the whereabouts of the Underworld heads.

I'm really excited for Luffy vs Jojo part 2. Can't wait to see what Luffy does to break his concentration. gomu gomu no bullying.

Also, this is a great panel summarizing how much the Strawhats have pissed off a Yonkou fleet.



I wonder if Big Mom getting skinnier is some drawback to her power of she's literally burning her fat from rage.

In her flashback with Lola's father she looked more normally proportioned. Maybe she's getting the Alvida treatment

it seems like all of the most powerful people just eat a bunch, so you probably just need a lot of calories to be strong

Yeah, and I think in some sbs Oda provided some drawings of big mom in her 20s and 40s where she's more normally proportioned. It's kinda inconsistent with her essentially having the same body type as a kid and an adult.

Luffy went from real fat to real skinny earlier this arc (also in like every arc), I think sudden weight loss is part of the OP universe

my vast experience in anime and manga suggests that her natural strength and growth/size probably comes at the cost of immense amounts of energy/calories. she gets fat when she's not on a mission but is skinny when she's campaigning or whatever

One Piece has all been a big advertisement for weight loss. "These guys eat anything they want and still maintain skinny bodies and basically you are loving stupid: Click here to find out"

She had a growth spurt and shot up to 40 feet tall which evenly dispersed her childhood weight. Then it took 30 years for her to eat enough to become fat again.

It's important to understand that Funkfreed is a sword that ate an Elephant devil fruit.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
Carrot's ability isn't going to be very useful if she joins the crew. She is going to become the Nightboat of the Straw Hat Crew, who is only useful under specific circumstances.

That is unless one of the Saiyans shows up and teaches her how to do the fake moon thingy from Dragon Ball Z.

There are circumstances where they could choose to delay arriving at a certain place by a few days to give her a powerup.

The Green Room was probably the coolest scene in the arc, in an arc that's already had a bunch of cool scenes.

The coolest scene in the arc was Jinbei quitting the big mum pirates because not only was that scene extremely good and made Jinbei seem like the coolest drat dude, it ended with Brook smashing Big Mum's picture and it was basically incredible.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
For the last month or two my stance has been "i hope pudding joins the crew but would be ok with carrot instead" and now it's upgraded to "i can't believe there's going to be two new strawhats and they're both supremely good & cool"

(jinbei doesn't count as new he's been part of the crew since fishman island)

What are the usual hallmarks of potential crew members anyway? Because Carrot has yet to hit "tragic past", so she's not likely till she hits it. And no, I don't think Pedro sacrificing himself for the whole crew in the present counts as a tragic past. Or that he's dead for that matter. Nor is one guy dying particularly tragic by One Piece standards anyway. Pudding at least has the tragic backstory part down, though I don't see her joining the direct crew either personally, but I'm curious what other ones there are.

I don't think either of them really have their own personal dream either (though assuming he is dead Carrot could probably take up Pedro's).
