here's an article about why scanlations are bad (saved you a click: it's because of swears and shichibukai/nakama/yonkou). the most interesting part is the difference in visual quality between official and scanlations:







also the article writer uses bartolomeo in like 3/4ths of the "excessive swears" category uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So, we're going to see Jack's full body revealed in this next chapter:



Aaaaaand it's not Capt. Morgan. Whoops! :v: At least he's super swole, though. Dunno why it had to be such a dramatic reveal, though.


This is a dude who can apparently fend off an Admiral, the ex-Fleet Admiral, a Vice Admiral, and a convoy of Marines to get Dofy back so he must be super swole. If Kaidou is >Admiral++ level, then Jack must be around Admiral-level strength I'm betting.

That's clearly Captain "Axehand" Morgan. He has the prosthetic jaw.

Not exactly, since Sogeking was the one who set the World Government flag on fire and didn't get that much of a boost. Sanji was there the whole time but Zoro was taking down a lot more high profile people and generally regarded as a lot stronger. The years they spent training isn't even comparable either, Zoro spent time with the strongest swordsman in the world and Sanji spent his time running away from Okama and learning to cook new things.

For a time they were on pretty equal footing with Sanji being a lot more clever and resourceful but Zoro edged out in Waters 7, took Kuma head-on, and just kept getting stronger and stronger. I don't know how much stronger Sanji is than the rest of the crew are post training, who knows what kind of tricks Usopp and Nami have that could make them more dangerous, and Brook and Franky are much stronger too (But haven't had serious fights either).

Franky won the most hard boiled fight in history .. and you still think he's not serious?

Ok, since i'm here making dumb One Piece posts about this kickin' rad story arc, here's my bet.

Pekoms isn't dead, he got eaten by a shark after hiding in his invincible shell. he's going to pull a Yosaku and jump out of the ocean wearing that shark, and he's probably gonna do something badass with the moment like sucker punch Capone Bege.

He's going to hide in his invincible shell then die a Jojo's-style non-death at the bottom of the sea, invincible forever.

Something I was thinking about after seeing Luffy go to Gear Fourth so suddenly, and something I've considered for a long time, is how Luffy compares to Roger in terms of strength. We're pretty sure that Roger didn't have a devil fruit and it's likely that they simply weren't common when he was sailing because the age of pirates hadn't yet begun. As such it was important to be strong, but at the same time you didn't necessarily need to worry about fighting a guy that can control shadows, turn into a T-Rex, or is made of lightning.

Naturally Roger, Garp, Whitebeard, and even Don Chinjao got ridiculously strong from fighting each other constantly, however Roger's challenges in becoming the Pirate King were different from Luffy's in terms of antagonistic pirate crews with ridiculous abilities. Additionally, a lot of the people Luffy are currently fighting have had his whole lifetime to become as strong as they are; Luffy is still really young compared to most of them and has become incredibly strong on his own and with the help of his DF.

I've unfairly put a negative light on Luffy when compared to Roger due to Luffy having a DF and relying on it in battle, but on the other hand there's no telling if Roger himself would have been so successful in this type of world. I guess Shanks is the closest we have to comparing someone to Roger, but we haven't seen him really fight either.

Roger had the gum gum fruit my friend.

Arlong's sister was a shark mermaid on Fishman Island. She had a crystal ball and apparently had a very high (perfect?) accuracy in predicting the future correctly. She foresaw that Luffy would be the doom of Fishman Island. When this didn't happen, she destroyed her crystal ball and gave up fortune telling, claiming she didn't want to know the future. But, ominously, someone noted she hadn't said when Luffy's actions would destroy Fishman Island.

Considering that FMI still has a part to play in the big picture, what with an ancient weapon and the Ark and Joyboy's promise and all that, it's very possible that this might still come to pass. (Maybe in a good way? Fishman Island is destroyed because everyone heads to the surface?)

Fishman island is destroyed by the gentrifying presence of humans.

So with this chapter, it just occured to me... the antagonist of this arc loves food, can control the weather, and can manipulate souls.

Luffy is there with Sanji, Nami, Brook and Chopper.

I would make a joke about predicting that it will be revealed that Big Mom is a doctor, but if there's a connection it's probably that she loves strange creatures.

In any case... this is going to be a massive team fight. Luffy and Nami already teamed up against Cracker, so the theme is established. All the Strawhats here conveniently have something meaningful they can do against Big Mom.

I was wondering how this arc would end, since Luffy just had a ridiculously difficult 1v1 brawl with Doflamingo, a mere Shichibukiai, at the end of the last arc, but Luffy only taking down a Yonkou with the help of his crew seems like it would give that accomplishment the weight it deserves.

The chapter title would also work if she said she was going to kill herself.

Honestly, it's the reactions of Luffy and Nami that make it seem like it's more severe than running away. If she was running away, Luffy would probably be happy, and suggest she come with them or something. But they're horrified. She's either going to kill herself directly, or do something unforgivable to Big Mom.

Chopper's connection is that he's emergency rations and Sanji will cook and serve him to Big Mom.
