I'm pretty sure that when the minks say that Sanji can't return it's just because of Zou so he has no reliable way to find it again.

It's curious to me that they haven't really established why Shanks is a Yonko. He doesn't seem to have territory, folks sworn to him, or any other real super power outside of being 'known as very strong'.

It's true that we don't really know what he has been up to but frankly we are only just learning what the Yonko are up to at all so we will probably get there!

Sanji has something to do here on his own since he hasn't even tried to escape. The bomb bracelets and threatening Zeff are just things making him more angry. Zeff is a legitimate badass on his own, so I doubt Sanji is too worried about an attempt on his life other than the amount the threat itself pisses him off.

I'd love it if QuantaStarFire's idea about replaying the Krieg attack on Baratie was done with Garp in the place of Luffy though.

Garp just whipping haki-infused loaves of bread left and right and Zeff yelling at him for wasting food

From the sounds of it, Sanji will never be able to develop the physical traits of his brothers because of what his mom did. No crazy power up for him. Which I like.

I'm really digging this arc. Oda's making up for the weak start Sanji had after the timeskip.

He's still one of the three strongest Straw Hats and I'm super looking forward to him finally getting some good kicks in on his dad.

Luffy or somebody can punch the brothers, they're not really important.

the most luffy thing that could happen is he goes on a stealth mission everyone thinks he shouldn't even bother with because its too dangerous and then comes back and casually mentions he defeated a yonko.

In a flashback it's realized that he beat Shanks at an eating contest

I mean it's possible this could end with the Strawhats not actually beating Big Mom herself but rather just screwing up all her plans and escaping with Sanji and the Poneglyph. She might be strong still but they would have humiliated her (again).

I always assumed the strawhats are similar to the crews of Shanks and Rogers. One is an emperor and the other was the pirate king... No reason why the strawhats wouldn't be able to reach that level of accomplishment. The entire grand line is pretty much a race where you either continously get stronger or get defeated/give up.


I do expect the strawhats to eventually leave on good terms with big mom. She's evil but in a childish way...

After what she planned to do to Sanji? No way.

Kizaru seems like he should have a really broken fruit ability, but like Mihawk seemed to be just phoning it in. That, or Oda didn't know to what extent Haki would play at the time.

Kizaru has a really strong ability but he himself is kinda dumb.

Someone in a previous thread make a joke about the guy who moves at the speed of light being really slow.

iirc it was stated at ine point that all the Yonko were active during Rogers time. Hell whitebeard is supposed to have been an established pirate before Roger even started, by the way he talked about him.

I know Whitebeard was around because I remember a flashback of him talking to Roger where Roger lamented that people were turning Gol D into Gold and Whitebeard asked him what "D" was

The issue is that there are evidently a ton of different words in English that are appropriate translations because our dumb language is almost excessively contextual

a good example is the sheer number of words that have some context where it means loving

OldTennisCourt posted:

Oda's true talent is making characters so likable so when you get to poo poo like this or Enie's Lobby or Drum Island it makes the supremely badass poo poo so much more awesome. Making a cool fight scene is one thing, making it hype as hell because the crew is so loving lovable and you want them to stand tall forever is entirely another.

That's also why Luffy absolutely leveling that fat Celestial Dragon is one of the single most satisfying moments in any comic ever. You have Hatchen who went from a henchman for one of the worst villains in the series to being an honorable and heartbreaking character and then you have this fat piece of dogshit laughing about shooting him.

Luffy annihilating that guy was so loving good.


It's legitimately amazing how OP continues to be so loving good while the other members of the Big Three sort of fizzled out by the end.

I think that's because he really builds things like this to be high points, not the fights. For months we have been waiting, not for Luffy to punch Big Mom in the big face, but for Sanji to accept his friend's help.

Like the fights are gonna be hella good tho, but this is what actually sells them. Without all this you end up with stuff like the later Naruto and Bleach fights where you barely know who these people are or why they're fighting.

More like wants to "stealth" "infiltrate" a huge party and punch some faces that have been begging for it. Also help out Sanji and his nice sister.

Bege is going to be treading a very fine line in this team up. Woe unto him if he wrecks up some really sweet party treats.

Also odds are really good that Luffy stops to eat wedding cake in the middle of, or before, the fight. Just a big ol' bite out of the whole thing.

Luffy arrives by eating his way out of the cake
