Manatee Cannon posted:it'd be really funny if they cut to the reverie or wano next chapter I'm legit hoping this happens. It's still so odd to me in the narrative that Kaidou's supposedly going to be defeated before Big Mom, but I guess we'll see how it plays out. Maybe Big Mom has more destructive power than Kaidou, but even she seems to think Kaidou's untouchable. Here's to the next 100 chapters, wonder if chapter 1000 will be Kaidou's defeat.

U-DO Burger posted:the art and presentation of the cake eating was loving fantastic and everything I could have hoped for in chapter 900 It looked like she was post-orgasm, haha. Like seriously, she had the glow and everything. Surprised she didn't spark a cigarette with her Sun homie. Sir Ilpalazzo posted:I understand that really, the cake did save them because the Sunny would have been wiped out by berserk Big Mom earlier, but narratively it feels weird that after all that buildup, the cake only briefly diverted and delayed her. Really curious how the story is going to keep her from continuing to follow the Strawhats now. I think her commenting on the "familiar" taste of the cake is going to lead to something memory-related. I really have no idea from there, but I think that's the setup. I'm just gonna wait to see what Oda does, 'cause right now the fandom's split with several directions that Big Mom's heading at this point. Some think Elbaf (the obvious one), some think Wano, some think even Fishman Island. I'm just gonna wait and see, but these are some nail-biting chapters. I need the next one now.

All's right with the world when One Piece drops bombshell chapters consecutively. In fact I've been reading the manga weekly for a while and this is the first time a "post-arc transition" (though Reverie is obviously its own small arc) has dropped so many crazy revelations so close together. Besides the end of Marineford, does anything come close? The end of Marineford may even be SURPASSED, depending on how much more intense events and reveals Oda writes here. And I'm thinking it will be. I agree with the camp that thinks that Vivi will no longer just be a Straw Hat in spirit -- she's going to see Cobra killed and realize she's no longer safe there, and where will she turn? Straw Hats. If she joins before Jinbe though I will die laughing. I'd be crazy not to mention the secret ruler. I am hella excited. While behind the scenes late-game villains are nothing new, it's a twist that I know Oda's been tinkering with for along time, and we still have several hundred chapters left. The stakes for our protagonists were already grim, now they are dismal.

Ghost Leviathan posted:And before that, Luffy was actually considerably weaker from having accidentally eaten the fruit because he didn't know how to control his body anymore and had to relearn from scratch. The Gum Gum fruit is considered one of the weaker fruits and also one of the weirder ones; next to Law and Kidd's powers they outright called his the weirdest. That's one of the major selling points of the series to me. Luffy's fruit is objectively, in the universe of One Piece, a common fruit. Lower tier. It's not like he got the ultimate hero's power, like say he had Whitebeard's Gura Gura fruit passed down to him in the beginning of the series or something. No, he's working with the hand he was dealt, and making the most out of a fruit that would be very lackluster in the majority of characters' hands. Also really ties in with the theme of dreams to me, that a guy with a rubber fruit, who could just as easily been a total scrub, is getting close to the point that he grapples with the highest caliber opponents on the seas.

bacon flaps posted:Didn't Zoro spend like p much half of part one near dead? And he continued to get the poo poo kicked out of him. Dude's the toughest motherfucker around. That's why it's so satisfying that he hasn't been handicapped all the time, or leaking gallons of blood, now. That already happened. The New World has just been Zoro's Triumphant Victories as far as he's concerned, even against a city-buster like Pica. But for those wanting blood-soaked Zoro back, they're likely about to get their wish in Wano, depending on who he fights. Shutenmaru alone is that strong. There's no way Oda won't be able to write a strong-rear end samurai opponent for Zoro that pushes him to his limits.

It's so rare that you see the main characters' odds be so dismally low, haha. The only thing really saving him here is that to advance the plot near the end of the story, he has to become Pirate King. A reminder that that was just a basic named attack from Kaido in his base form (I'm assuming base, because he reverts back to it after being punched a lot in dragon form). Zoans generally have multiple forms. Kaido is going to have a Hybrid form. How on earth is anyone going to have a chance at surviving against his strongest attacks in his hybrid form? That's not even the farthest this can be taken either since Awakening is a thing too. I always like my villains to feel like veritable threat, and that is being taken to the max here.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I'm kind of having trouble dealing with how loving psyched I am for One Piece right now. We've got an absolute metric poo poo ton of characters and stories set in motion years ago, all coming together for the defeat of one of the final major villains of the series, and I'm basically thinking about how badly I want more One Piece right now every second I'm not reading One Piece, and we've got another two years of this and it's getting kind of stressful. Saaaame. I haven't been this addicted to One Piece since Marineford.  I'd say I'm even more glued to it than that though because Wano has a LOT more to resolve, and a lot of it is big stuff. And I find Kaido a more interesting Yonkou than Whitebeard, who in his own right was a high-quality character. Also, the Acts thing is unprecedented for One Piece -- cool unique writing. The best way I could describe this arc is Skypiea and Marineford combined but we have to defeat a non-weakened Whitebeard? It's insanity. And remember this is just the intro, most arcs are remembered for their climax sections.

The next chapter's such a wildcard. Reverie intermission? Orochi focus? Robin/Usopp/Franky/Zoro focus? Hot take: Act 2 will primarily focus on Orochi, setting him up as the second major nigh undefeatable villain of the arc. A lot more factions will gather, with some skirmishes already happening, to get ready for the war in act 4.

And then making the most dangerous alliance in the world when they find out the secret behind the Void Century and go to kick Im's rear end. Gonna be interesting to see what Im/Imu's actual name is. I dooon't think Imu is the full picture on the name. :p Though there's actually several mythological inspirations for it possibly, and that Adam & Eve japanese name meaning. I will think Imu is Uranus or has control of Uranus until proven otherwise.

This break has me conflicted. On one hand, a break after the first act of Wano ending is the PERFECT time for one. It lets things settle and lets us reflect. On the other hand, this is still one of the top 3 hardest breaks for me. I *need* to know what happens next chapter. It's likely a game-changer chapter.

Blockhouse posted:if I had to compile a list of three bad things in One Piece then the Nyaban brothers don't even rate. They're unmemorable at best. While Caribou's gross and almost certainly a serial rapist, him knowing about Shirahoshi's going to come into play this arc somehow, given his current location. As for top 3 bad One Piece things, absolute #1 for me is Vacuum Lady in Dressrosa. Then I guess that I personally think Fishman Island and Dressrosa's lengths should have been somewhat switched, with FI being a 100 chapter incredible arc and Dressrosa being 70 chapters or so. Third Doffy's string clones. That's just a nah from me dawg, I never bought the string clones.

alkanphel posted:Does King have wings just like Magellan? King notably has wings that are like the Birkans, but black. I was under the impression that they were related to his likely Zoan but then I remembered... It's actually very rare for true, non-SMILE Zoans to display traits of the Zoan's appearance, outside of the Zoan form. So for example Lucci looked normal outside of his Zoan form, Kaku looked normal for One Piece standards, etc. Sooo. Those black wings are quite the mystery. The theories I've heard so far for King's Devil Fruit are Yatagarasu. Maybe a gryphon. I dunno, something with wings that's mythical. There's a lot of those out there though, haha.

EGSunBro posted:I’m so excited for every single thing in the future of one piece. Every chapter is like a magical present. The thing is like... As many have become aware, *literally all* of the New World has been set-up for Big Mom and Kaido. And we're finally at the payoffs for that setup, the relief, the entree after the chips and appetizers. And we've seen from Oda's notebooks that he usually plans arcs ahead, and that he's wanted to draw Wano since Monsters (his one-shot manga) was published. Oda's just flowing with inspiration like Conqueror's Haki is emanating from his pen. If there's one arc you know Oda has super meticulously planned and ironed out the kinks of, it's Wano. This arc has "planned" and "tight execution" written all over it, and that goes a long way to elevating a story. And also, it's not like we're getting tight execution for an arc that dealt with the events and stakes on the level of, say, Fishman Island. That only has so much of an upper ceiling of quality due to the events being not too important in the grand scheme of things, besides certain key scenes. We're getting tight execution, brisk pacing, and that X factor for a mega arc that includes so much important events that are required to be resolved for the grander scheme of One Piece. Basically being excited for the future of One Piece has never been more appropriate.

Lovvving those read-through posts. Alabasta's a classic shounen arc. Really sets a precedent for the series too, in that it shows that things will rarely be easy. Go up against someone far above your league? The appropriate thing will happen, you'll get gutted and buried like trash. "Nakama power" only buffs you so much, it's not an auto-win like in some other shounen.

hell astro course posted:Hey, I know we are in on an off week, so I wanted to posit a question to a thread.... what would One Piece be like if Luffy didn't meet Zoro first? What if his first crew mate was Robin, or Chopper, or Brook or Franky, how would that shape the story? True that. Will we get a chapter next week? This chapter drought's rough.  If he met Robin first, if we assume she's still Miss Allsunday at that point and was somehow over at Captain Morgan's marine base, and actually joined before Crocodile was thwarted... Then we'd have a very flustered Crocodile wondering why his pimp persona is losing to random rubber trash from Scrub Blue. He'd send some of the Millions or Billions assassins after them. Luffy would still wreck those dudes even at that point in the story I think, and well, Robin's the resident neck snapper, so those assassins get taken care of no sweat. They keep on neck-snappin' through the whole East Blue, though Arlong's neck took a little more oomph. "Shahahahaha! Nami's village will be mine forever! There's no saving you, little-" *crack*. They get to Loguetown, Buggy tries to execute Luffy as usual, Robin sprouts a hand and throws him off the execution stand. Buggy then flashily gets pummeled by the Straw Hats for trying to beat their captain. They make their way to the Grand Line, with the Straw Hat's iconic scene of putting their feet on the barrel, while she reads a book off in the distance and sprouts a hand on the barrel, keeping her dream a secret. I think the first time they'd MAYBE have trouble is Little Garden. Robin eventually makes her way back to Alabasta, Crocodile sees her chilling with her new boy toy, Luffy, and snaps furiously. All of the Straw Hats including Robin fight Crocodile at that merchant town, struggling greatly even with Nico Robin The Mighty, but eventually thwart him due to Nami figuring out that water's his weakness. They acquire some water from a nearby shop, splash it on Croc, and the crew proceed to decimate Crocodile, as Vivi yells "PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING." Alabasta is immediately saved and the crew goes treasure hunting for money to stock up items before their next island.

Love X-Drake's hybrid design. Page One is ... a new trend for the Headliner names? What the hell is that lol. I can't wrap my mind around that name. Orochi's design is not the path I wanted Oda to go since we have plenty of those types of characters, but ah well. He does fit his archetype well, and can still transform. That's one of the cool things about this arc. "Character X looks like a goofball." "Well he's not even in his final form! Ha!" I freaked out at CP-0's inclusion/Vegapunk's possible inclusion/more Kaido hype.

Kashuno posted:It looks like they will finally have some marines that are recurring and cool to follow. Smoker and Tashigi seem like they will be recurring characters hunting the straw hat crew through the Grand Line, and it's cool that it seems they're setting up Tashigi to be a rival to Zoro. They did already do the thing with Hawk but Hawk feels like he is such a level above Zoro that he's not really a rival at this point but rather an aspiration. Tashigi meanwhile got dunked on by Zoro but has the potential to own him down the line. Also the smoke fruit seems like the first one that is really going to be a major problem for the crew. Buggy and Alvida exist but I get the feeling they are far more comic relief than actual threats ever. That part's so goddamn funny. "Phew, made it to the 100 chapter mark." First page: "T H E L E G E N D B E G I N S" "Oh okay. Guess I've just been reading a joke until now according to the author."

CodfishCartographer posted:Chapter 440: "Fire Fist vs Blackbeard" This is one D you may want to pay particular attention to.  He may seem a little different from other ones.It's super gratifying that everyone got a bounty at this point, and we got an around-the-world reaction series. Even filled with intrigue, since Dragon was shown. Saying a rather massive quote for the theme of the series. The darkness fruit is insane, with it Blackbeard is in a class of his own. The cool thing is he does have an obvious weakness though, he takes severe physical damage because of the nature of the fruit. Blackbeard's raw punches fuggin' hurt too, which is rather frightening. Ace noted that he nearly broke his neck. That Brook guy's gone unfortunately, truly wasted potential.
