egghead spoilers (ch. 1069 - 1093)
i know there's still no direct reaction from zoro about luffy's gear 5/nika transformation, but i can't stop thinking about this little crumb of interaction between them on egghead:
Tumblr media
luffy cheerfully asking if zoro needs any help with fighting rob lucci, and he's clearly still in his gear 5
Tumblr media
and zoro telling him to focus on his own fight with kizaru, so at least with a corner of his eye he must have seen him.
the reactions we have seen so far of other people seeing luffy gear 5 were especially of surprise, shock, awe and wonder. with yamato in wano telling the strawhats (minus zoro, again, because he was unconscious beside luffy, healing), how incredible sight it was, to see luffy during the battle (ch. 1051):
Tumblr media
on egghead - jimbei and chopper were with luffy when he first started fighting rob lucci (ch. 1069)
Tumblr media
and then most of the strawhats - nami, usopp, sanji, robin and franky - who were watching luffy fight in gear 5 while vegapunk was explaining what/who nika is to many people (ch. 1069) - and even sanji was pointing out "he's just luffy, you know, a moron (affectionate)?", but their reactions were still very surprised (obviously).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
then there's chapter 1091, with rob lucci trying to attack vegapunk, and zoro pushing him away from the lab,
Tumblr media
and luffy goes to gear 5 and giant form when kizaru attacks, ch. 1093.
Tumblr media
the only small moment where zoro might have seen luffy (especially bc he went to giant form), was here and... nothing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
just.. "fight your own battle, i will handle this one" - and tbh i love this "no reaction" (so far).
(there is a certain similarity here to the arlong park arc - where nojiko wants to tell them about nami's history, and both luffy and zoro don't care for it to hear it - the words or past weren't important to them, not as much as nami's decisions and actions, ch. 77.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so it's kinda similar here on egghead with zoro not stopping to look and to realize how luffy changed - it's not important for him what he looks like, what he symbolizes for other people.
Tumblr media
it's important to him what he does. zoro is always about the actions. and it's still luffy to him, the man who will be the pirate king, and the only man he decided to follow and call him his captain. someone he can trust and respect, and at the same time someone zoro can call out to keep his focus in front of him on the opponent and on the future (like in enies lobby, punk hazard, and even here on egghead ..).
zoro can focus on fighting rob lucci (and possibly keep him occupied until it's time to go), and knows he can count on the others and luffy to fight the other battles. (just like later on luffy can count on his crew, and focus on fighting saturn & kizaru.)
Tumblr media
(i'm sure there will be a reaction in later chapters, especially when he's right there and we see other strawhats beside luffy. but it's interesting that zoro (and brook)'s reaction to gear 5 is still missing on the page. im wondering if brook heard some legends and stories too, and what they mean to him.)

We were robbed of Law x Robin moments from when they were headed from Zou to Wano. Like, can we have some filler episodes? 😭 I need to know how much they bonded and how were they spending time on Polar Tang.

one piece 1091 spoilers (including things you won't see in viz)
Hey! Well everyone's going OPLA crazy, so 1091 might just fly under the radar, which is a shame, cos' it's a good chapter! I usually only do these commentaries on the chapters with Law, Kid, characters I really like (and I like the Straw Hats, but you know where my heart lies!), or small things that catch my attention like:
Tumblr media
Is that Chuji (from Wano) helping Sanji out with the cooking for the crew? AND did
Tumblr media
Doflamingo and one of his clones pop in to spice up the party? AND where
Tumblr media
are Robin and Franky? Love seeing Jinbei helping out with the cooking, and Brook and Chopper politely enjoying themselves. Chapter's title is Sentomaru!
So the Pacifista and the weaponised sea beasts are taking on the navy (and the Vegapunks don't know that their defenses have been breached yet. The sea beasts are cute in a Big Mom way:
Tumblr media
But never fear because
Tumblr media
Doll is here! And another of the new vice admirals who was to the right of those two frames above. Beating up sea beasts, I think, and making their way to the Pacifistas (Doll already arrived!).
It seems that
Tumblr media
if Kizaru hadn't breached the defences that the navy wouldn't stand too good a chance against the Robo beasts, OR, if Kizaru was with them, maybe they would. Also, love Usopp with his sniper specs (or whatever they are).
Also, it seems that Vegapunk is pretty blind to
the weakness in the control hierarchy. As shown earlier with the whole seraphim debacle, it's too easy for one person in the chain to wrest control. Then again, there is or was an assumption that everyone is trusted. Going out of order, but Jay Garcia Saturn Kizaru saying (thanks @darkspock)
Tumblr media
that it would be good to keep Vegapunk alive (he is alluding to Vegapunk here, as Kizaru confirms he's set to kill him in the next panel) in the same way Jay Garcia Saturn says that
Tumblr media
it was a shame to lose the weaponised beasts, and that losing them, and ultimately Vegapunk, because they are the less valuable or even dangerous assets, show how far removed he is from humanity. BUT, he does want to keep one Vegapunk! (Edit in: And I wonder now if Kizaru is talking about Sentomaru)
Tumblr media
York! Love me a good villain. Ahhh. And also the power station, and Punk Records cannot become collateral damage. Elimination fo the rest of Vegapunk is the top priority. I still think the Victoria Punk might have a link to all of this too! (just from the name).
Anyway, back to the linear storyline. Before Sentomaru
Tumblr media
bites the dust, Usopp, Nami and Brook sight Kizaru, and Brook mentions Sabaody. It's not forgotten, throughout the piece.
AND, I just had a thought, they weren't taken out by Kizaru this round, far from it, but Kid and Law (and all the other supernova, other than Bonney, Luffy and Zoro) were taken out by other forces before they got the chance to flee from (or fight) Kizaru again. It's a good way of showing the high stakes and who is left in the game. (Usopp still has his specs).
Tumblr media
So Vegapunk is not aware of Kizaru's determination to let Sentomaru fight from his own morals, and Sentomaru's resolve to protect Vegapunk at all costs. The very small background story (we had some before) is sweet, as always, especially the relationship between "Uncle" Kizaru and Santomaru.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And speaking of cute and hoodlum and maybe awkward, but so at home in one's skin to not even be aware of it:
Tumblr media
Young
Tumblr media
Kizaru. SO Kizaru wipes out Santomaru and it affects
Tumblr media
Stella Vegapunk (Atlas too?). But York is unaffected, and won't give up the code! (And Usopp has lost his glasses).
What if the "Old Friends" that Jay Garcia Saturn Kizaru refers to were
Tumblr media
this treacherous bastard, and his now bubble-wrapped
Tumblr media
colleague, Kaku!
Smart move on Sanji's part, but let's reel it back a little:
Tumblr media
Rob Lucci takes Stussy out (and Oda did say in the most recent SBS that he finally learnt how to draw bums, so he's taking every opportunity to draw bums. Butt only female bums, apparently!) And declares:
Tumblr media
that he and Kizaru are besties and everyone's days are numbered, BUT, what if Jay Garcia Saturn Kizaru was talking about Rob Lucci (and Kaku) when he said it was a shame to lose old friends. Lucci is one of those kinds of villains who should be on the most-hated list (like Spandam and Walpole). He's good looking for sure, and CP9/0 have sad stories, but dammit!
Also, Big News Morgans is not gonna be happy about Stussy. But Sanji's move against Kaku above was so swift and cool. And it's Nami declaring Stussy Chan, isn't it? I don't think it's Sanji, due to the positioning of the text bubble, but I could be wrong.
This guy (Zoro)
Tumblr media
is on the offensive (looks great!). And so is
Tumblr media
this guy! Also love that Luffy uses 'we' to describe the whole crew (the whole generation?) being stronger.
And Santomaru's Japanese attack names and their meanings, apparently won't appear in Viz:
Tumblr media
T/N: "TIN: "SUMO STRIKE" IN VIZ.
ASHIGARA IS THE MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEGENDARY KINTARO WHO INSPIRED SENTOMARU'S DESIGIN.
I'm sure I've missed a ton, but there you go! Oh, where's Robin? (and Chopper). Were they going to the Sunny? Also, these two scenes were superrr cute! Bonney and Luffy should definitely be besties.

Some cute (older and ultimately unfinished) things from Carmen's Wano inserts. I've been thinking about Wano alot lately and meant to post her Hanafuda card with her cheerleading moment, but whoops! Wanna do her reactions to Misery and Damned Punk soon. Oh, and I'm gonna draw Kid in the Udon prison uniform soon since we were robbed of such a given outfit change.

Hidden Scenes for a Snowy Queen
Doing something kind of simple because Christmas is gonna be slow. If you celebrate hope you're having a Merry one. We're having some friends over for lunch, making a big pot of curry! Tomorrow we'll have what I guess you could call a tale of two girls out of time. Today...it's been a while and I don't think I ever did this just all at once. Yesterday we talked about how Kuma's alternate vantage point flashback sets a precedent because that's what makes Kiku's role in Wano weird. You could do that so well. The key is having specific points an attentive reader can guess at what may come up:
A bit of a weird one but one you gotta mention. Getting through having such a big presence in the arc and never opening up about the month at Tsuru's Teahouse. Focusing on what that blank slate revealed about what you really want. Coupled with more of her own perspective on Bakura Town.
Tumblr media
End of Act 1. Cutting off the way we do leaves a lot of room to have said more than just what happened to Luffy. Taking responsibility is a big, believable thing to add on.
Night with Chopper at Tsuru's is a blank check for character building, but mainly showing what we know about being the quiet leader of the breakout plan.
Tumblr media
Where were you when the gang went to rob Yasu?
Don't sleep on Luffy being a sharp dude who probably thought of Iva the second he heard what he heard about Kiku in Udon and would know now's not the time. Especially when Act 3 for him gets tied up around a foil for Kiku that doesn't understand the concept. All of this weird way of going about things is because our core point revolves around tact, etiquette, sensibility.
Ending Act 2 gives you a lot of little ones with plenty of room to play with. Returning the Nidai Kitetsu, how the Sunacchi element comes back up and honestly just having a friendly time in the grove. Something got her to "Torao-san." Biggest thing that makes me wonder though is just into Act 3, how the armor scene is so weird but couched in mentioning Jinbei followed by an interesting interlude for Tsuru that drops a big, if understated reveal for Kiku. That piece of context, Tsuru letting her think she was getting away with being incognito, is critical because it's an existing example of this kind of storytelling.
Tumblr media
Special note how the flashback in general is perfect. Casually folding Izo in makes it a big, big deal for Kiku and we get pretty much her whole life...except for the interesting personal drama points you'd expect based on the character we'd set up. Specialer note for leaving a perfect opening to roll Shanks & Buggy into when you found out about big bro's decision.
Then this one could go a lot of places but how we seed the idea that Kiku was maybe a little more Toki's retainer by the end. She doesn't talk about Oden much, there's a nanny vibe with the kids that makes sense if you think about it, the actual Rashomon-style subtle reveal of where she was in the jump forward scene. But it was already hinted from here in the example of how Toki rehabilitated Oden's image:
Tumblr media
The Raid is a different beast altogether. It's showtime, there's no trick. Kiku just has the odd one out internal Akazaya emotional journey that bounces off the Straw Hats. Did you notice or was there too much going on? Yamato is the star right? Don't think about the enormous butterfly effect potential if he hadn't dragged Luffy away from meeting up with his samurai buds. Seriously, you have it here, all the potential in the world. Luffy plus the samurai could have beaten Kaido quick, Yamato dragging Luffy away hampered that but it was a necessary step to setting up the Awakening. This all fits as an interpretation of Toki's prophecy. Essentially, "Play your part even if you're unaware of the deeper meaning. Because the world depends on what happens tonight."
Tumblr media
And of course finally, the aftermath. Skipping Ryokugyu when the fight makes a specific note of "people about to leave shouldn't be here" is one thing...adding that to Ryo hammering the other shoe dropping on the caste theme with Urashima? Playing coy with you and that absence as we set up our endings for Carrot & Yamato?
I still don't know what to think. None of this is new, I was saying it by the end of Wano. While we've been on Egghead a while it was always playing with similar themes and now this Kuma flashback started and ended setting important "precedent." Our idea for a plot resolution looked a lot like how Ginny saved the day at God Valley and Kuma showed us how much POV can change what you thought you knew. We'll get back to the why tomorrow but it felt worth it to reiterate why there's so much potential. I know this bag of tricks has been out of style for some time but it just feels like ground I've seen other series walk so well, the only innovation is letting the trans girl be the mysterious ingenue rather than her vain, worldly foil.
Tumblr media
But of course...nothing is weirder than this girl hopping over into the Academy universe and doing the exact same thing, just way less subtle. You already had Kikuhime & Kamatari hanging around a girl that just on her own started off being one of the most meta characters in a silly series where 4th wall gags are a rare final frontier. Call it copium or hopium or whatever cool Gen Z slang you wanna use, I'm ready to keep huffing it well into a new year at this point.

Film RED bullet review below the cut bc of spoilers but also it’s living in my mind rent-free and i gotta holler for a min (though I should preface this with saying i haven’t read wano yet bc I keep procrastinating but If I Don’t See EVERY one piece film in Theaters I WILL Die! Waited 32 years of my life for this and I’ll get my spoilers via the big screen if i have to!)
THAT BEING SAID lmao
the only reason i went to see this film is bc of JINBE it was BABY’S FIRST FILM and he had 8 entire minutes of screentime rip
the COWARDS didn’t dub the songs for some reason???? but Uta’s english VA AmaLee did her own version of Genesis and it’s a FUCKIN BANGER give it a big big listen she deserved to drop the entire album on the big screen!!!!!!!!!!
in spite of that, me and my friend are huge Jpop nerds so this movie felt tailor made for us and we were alone in the theater thank God so we got to be absolute assholes and jam 100/10 
Uta’s EXCELLENT Cult Vibes my girl swung so far to the left she curved right back around A for effort
Every song being a little more deranged than the last as her mental health plummeted bc of sleep deprivation / stress MWA we love to see it we love a girl saying Fuck the Government AND the Pirates and streaming her absolute break down live on global television and taking EVERYBODY DOWN WITH HER only bc it is SO FAR REMOVED from Oda’s typical villain trope of Bitter Old Man who wants to destroy the world bc he is Sad Z i am looking you in the face
the Things I Care About and the Things This Film Wanted Me to Care About Divergence was... Incredible! Uta being Shank’s daughter got crickets from me bc ask me why i should care but it was immediately followed by “Strawhat is The 5th Emperor” which received uproarious applause and that was a spoiler for me lmao
Oda/etc Stop Cramming 48 Random and Unnecessary Characters into every Film Just Because They’re High On The Popularity Poll Challenge
We have a full entire cast of STRAWHATS. There are TEN STRAW HAT PIRATES. Would have loved to see a little bit of oh i don’t know Interaction and Shenanigans that lasted longer than a few seconds, i mean jesus christ I remember the older movies always having lots of fun banter and moments with the strawhats and that’s what made them fun to watch, i remember when there were Character Driven plots give me some of that back I come here for the StrawHat Pirates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did i enjoy Trafalguy turning up to babysit his queer platonic BF? Yes!
Did this movie in particular benefit from him being there? NO.
Fleeting Lullaby (song/scene) is Unhinged, Uta i love u
Luffy who recognizes No One Ever spotting that girl he saw like twice when he was 7 from 40 yards away and being like Hey Stop The Show I Think Know Her sklfsjfasd;lk KING
He said he was gonna go take a nap and Uta had a meltdown abt it, say you have Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria without saying it
ALSO Uta sitting in the rain stroking Luffy’s precious sleeping face and crying got me cryin in the club fr
That very quick flashback of shanks thinking abt Roger and Rayleigh also punched me in the chest but I went into the film not caring abt shanks and his daughter and I left the film still not caring i’m sorry lmao
Tumblr media
Usopp’s observation haki connecting him to his dad and them both working to coordinate their respective crews was GODTIER OH WE LOVE TO SEE IT. USOPP THANK U FOR SHINING SO BRIGHTLY
the very quiet scene where Uta gives Luffy his hat back and she’s trying to be silly with him but you Don’t See His Face At All that entire scene so you KNOW he’s upset and something is wrong made me fucking feral I love Luffy’s growth I love his character development I LOVE HIM SFM
Coby was the REAL MVP of the Film
Jinbe deserved more screentime
Rob Lucci struggling to trouble-shoot the Elders TV sent me right into the stratosphere HOW fucking embarrassing sdfljslfksl
Uta fuckin died????????????/ Unconfirmed but implied
Oda Stop Martyring Women Challenge
this movie is GREAT but it’s not Film Gold

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
You stood high on a balcony, overseeing the overjoyed city capital below. It had been a few days after Kaido's defeat and the Mugiwara's were long gone, and yet the celebration continued. Their spirits were sky high and you couldn't at all blame them. The aching worry that accompanied you for so long began to feel like it was fading away and the new feelings of hope and safety were unfamiliar to you.
You found your fingers fiddling the hem of your silk kimono, finding the texture to be a form of comfort. You hadn't heard him enter and wasn't even aware of his presence until you felt strong arms wrap around your frame and a nose buried itself into the crook of your neck. Your body tensed instinctively.
"It's not usual for you to let your guard down, Y/N-kun." Kin'emon spoke softly. You could feel his lips curl into a smile into your neck. You unconsciously leaned into embrace, humming softly.
"I'm so tired, Kin-chan..." You let the words of weakness slip from your lips, biting your bottom lip. Kin'emon grunted, placing a soft kiss into your neck. There was a comfortable silence for a moment before you felt his presence leave your back and you were being turned around.
He scanned your face, holding your arm with one hand. He brought the other up to your cheek and his thumb rubbed against a rather nasty gash that laid just below your eye. His face laid emotionless as memories flooded his memory. Of you being flung to the ground due to an unknown force, blood scattering around you. Red clouded those memories, quickly bringing him back to reality. He leaned forward to place a soft kiss to the scarred skin.
"We all are." He finally responded, watching as your eyes brimmed with tears. As they fell down your cheek, he swiped his thumb to catch them before they fell.
"I could have lost you." The words were a soft whisper.
His expression only softened. It always left an ache in his heart anytime he saw you in such a state. He leaned forward once more to place a tender kiss along your lips this time, his large hand cupping your delicate face. Your hands shook momentarily before they found themselves gripping Kin'emon's robs, tightly holding on as if he'd fade away if you let go. You felt the more your sank into the kiss, the more your anxiety seemed to float away.
A moment later, he pulled away softly and pressed his forehead against yours, "Don't worry, darling, I won't be leaving you anytime soon."
You closed your eyes, letting out a weak, shaky laugh, "Good." Another comfortable silence fell between the two of you.
Then, "Let's go join them." He glanced behind you to the city capital, still bustling with music, cheers, and laughter. He pulled away a bit, glancing back to you, "You look too gorgeous to be stuck up in here." He tucked a strand of your loose hair behind your ear.
You smiled, "I could go for some street food."
Kin'emon simply smiled back at you, toothy, goofy, and all.

Chapter 1056 — Cross Guild
The slice-of-life wind-down when and arc is nearing its end is really nice. It’s lovely to just… see the interactions, follow the banter, laugh at how stupid Kid and Luffy are being and maybe drool a bit over Law. Gnrk.
I’m also really enjoying the cover story! Katakuri and Oven to the rescue of WCI! Wonder how it’ll pan out? The lesser minions were of no consequence for Germa; how about one commander and one high-ranking minister? The brothers are looking somewhat intimidated while Reiju floats away.
Tumblr media
Not looking good for Raizo and Shinobu! Luckily enough, they have the Mink Wundermedischine available. No, I’m not salty over that particular cop-out. Nor Chopper’s robbed medical glory. Not at all.
(Fun fact: both’s proportions are down to more normal-human now. Will it hold?)
One thing I’ve really enjoyed these past chapters is the lightheartedness. All the anger and destruction from the fight is gone, leaving us with the humour and (bad) jokes that really make One Piece shine. Like Carrot…
Tumblr media
A few things:
The “Wait, what?” here is amazing.
And then. The difficult question. Carrot’s future.
I appreciate the symbolism of Nekomamushi and Inuarashi finding each other after 20 years and leaving a unified Zou in the care of someone young, who, like them, has seen something of the world.
As far as we know, not many Minks have left Zou: there’s Dog and Cat, Pedro and Zepo’s pirate crew (which got annihilated as far as I understood their flashback), Bepo who left to look for Zepo and then… nothing, until Carrot. When Nekomamushi and Inuarashi left and Oden returned, the exchange also gave the impression that what they had done had been different and unexpected – and they didn’t really know a thing about sailing or the sea, as evidenced by their shipwreck on Wano. Having a ruler who’s been out there is a good call.
And I like the statement that you don’t have to be the strongest to be the leader, or the oldest. It’s fine to trust someone stronger there to help you protect, while you lead.
And then they go and spoil it by referencing Pedro’s spirit. Pedro, who wanted to leave with Roger. Pedro, who left to be a pirate. Pedro, who came back a failure (in his own eyes). Pedro, who left Zou once more and sacrifice himself for the dawn of the world. What exactly is the spirit to carry here?
I expect Carrot and the Minks to show up at the final battle to support Luffy.
Speaking of Luffy…
Tumblr media
Character interactions are gold in this chapter. “You want this terrible weapon of mass destruction which the biggest players in the world are desperately looking for?”, “Nope, I’ll do it without any perks.” Not sure about having Usopp asleep: it’d be nice to see what his attitude would be! Would he agree with Luffy or try to get them to use the weapon to get to Laugh Tale sooner / safer? Has he grown into a brave warrior of the seas yet?
I’m confused, however, I thought Pluton was a different one from the battle ship? After a quick check on the One Piece fandom wiki, I stand corrected: “Pluton is one of the three Ancient Weapons, alongside Poseidon and Uranus. Pluton is a highly advanced warship capable of mass destruction, labelled the World's Worst Battleship (世界最悪の戦艦 Sekai Saiaku no Senkan) […] The battleship is said to be capable of destroying whole islands in a single shot” (One Piece wiki, Pluton). Furthermore, what I hadn’t realised but which is obvious in hindsight, is that “because the blueprints remained in existence even after the ship was built, whoever possessed the blueprints to the vessel would have the potential to build a fleet of vessels with the same destructive abilities as each other.“ (One Piece wiki, Pluton). Duh.
If I have things right, then: The original warship called Pluton was built during the void century. It is Used For a Purpose and left in Wano, where walls are erected, submerging it through the centuries. The Kozuki clan makes the poneglyphs. The Nefertari family declines Celestial Dragon-status in Mariejois, staying in Alabasta instead. The Kozuki clan leaves a Poneglyph in Alabasta, telling future Nefertari descendants where to find the weaponized ship.
Now I’m on board again.
I wonder if Robin took Franky down there to look at the ship, since he had the blueprints for so long?
(Spolier alert: Raizo and Shinobu’s transformations held)
In a way I really like that Shinobu’s attitude hasn’t changed. She’s always been an alluring, mature lady. I don’t know what to think about her glow-up, though, nor her comments regarding it. To be continued.
Tumblr media
And Otama is so cute! I really hope we get to see a post-script when One Piece is finished, when they sail around some more and she joins their ship for reals :)
And Nami! With clothes! Somewhat coutnered by Shinobu’s outfit, but I’ll take what I can get!
Tumblr media
Caribou is still creepy AF. Who is he talking about? He’s been stuck on Wano since he defended the Old Lady With The Pies in his cover story, and as far as we know, before that, he was just a rookie in the Grand Line? Has he teamed up with Apoo, selling stories to Morgans?
Also, have a Kin-compilation, since he’s just so sweet (and trademark-ignorant) this chapter:
Tumblr media
And then, the highlight of this whole sequence of chapters:
Tumblr media
CAPTAIN TRIO! And happy Bepo in the background.
But just look! Look at them! Kid, being all serious with his hand on his leg, arguing with Luffy, squatting on a crate to have the dream of a chance to be on the same level as Kid and…
…Law. Oooooh, yesssssss. I didn’t know how much I needed Law in a tank top. Fan artists rejoice! The dude knows how to do his fanservice.
Sad to hear Law thinking the alliance is over, but it’ll be interesting to see where they end up!
Tumblr media
And seeing that brain in action is just… gnrk.
To get back to the matter at hand, which is chapter analysis: I do question Law’s comment about north-east being the most direct route. Direct to where?
However, one thing I didn’t think of but someone on Reddit pointed out, was that Luffy basically has the position of Laugh Tale.
If we look at who has what Lode Ponegplyhs, we get…
Kid: Big Mom + Kaido
Law: Kaido + Zou
Luffy: Kaido + Zou + Big Mom
Luffy’s Ponegplyhs give us a triangle. If we consider the islands the Poneglyph’s identify as poins of a triangle, regardless of where the fourth island is, Laugh tale will be somewhere on the sides of the triangle.
Of course, you can’t just sail the Grand Line, even less the New World, without a log pose, a lot of luck and an amazing navigator, but since Luffy has all three (Laugh Tale isn’t available on the log pose, otherwise everyone could just stroll up there: that’s why you need the Lode Ponegplyhs) he could, in theory, just brute force the triangle and find the One Piece that way.
He won’t, obviously, since he’s all about that adventure, but Nami and Usopp probably would. Ooo, nice fanfic idea! Nami and Usopp, plotting to get Luffy to sail along the triangle route, just to avoid capturing the fourth Ponegplyh which is probably in the hands of Blackbeard or someone similar?
And speaking of Blackbeard, Luffy, and other yonkos…
Tumblr media
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE STORY BEHIND THIS ONE.
Mihawk and Crocoboy working under Buggy? Not a snowball’s chance in Hell. Is it like Mr.3 and Alvida, working with him and letting him be the front figure? The best crack theory so far: Croc and Mihawk are with buggy because they lost a Davy Back fight.
Tumblr media
Character. Interactions. Are. Gold.
Nice little establishing shot of Zoro, going all ‘Nnnnnnnoooooo…’, while Law puts that overly analytical brain to use: with the information he has, it is a logical conclusion to draw. And then there’s Luffy debunking any and all skills Buggy has and Kid who focuses on the matter at hand, in other words, what the Cross Guild (will see with official translation if that’s the true name) is actually doing, not who’s in it.
But really nice idea with the ‘bounties for marines’-thing! Did not expect that! And will this affect a certain Wanted-poster fan creation-event, I wonder… now that marines also, by canon, can have wanted posters ;)
And Law. Oh, my heart. You honourable bastard, you.
Tumblr media
We’ll have to see how the official translation puts it, but still: who is it? Sabo? Aokiji? Marko? Blackbeard?
Law is all dark and broody – is it Doflamingo, out from Impel Down? He was burned when young, after all.
Robin looks surprised: does she know who it is or did she figure it out when she saw Law’s reaction?
COME ON KID, TELL US ALREADY.
Tumblr media
Yamato for nakama is gaining momentum.
I don’t really have an opinion, one way or the other: I like him as a character and have no objections to him joining. I do share the worry that the crew is getting too big to focus properly on all members, which has been a problem in the fights lately. However: the story is less about the individual crew members and more about the world changing now (or has actually been since they entered the New World), which justifies less of a focus on their development and more on what’s happening around them instead.
But it is still annoying to be left in the dark with character development. The biggest pain is Chopper. I really expected him to be able to cure SMILE when Wano was over, but maybe that’s something he has to work with Vegapunk on?
(And speaking of Vegapunk: wouldn’t it be hilarious if Kid’s route takes him to Vegapunk’s location and he kidnaps him or something similar? Etymology of ‘Vega’: (1) brightes star in the Lyra constellation; (2) an extensive, fertile, grass-covered plain or tract of land.)
I’m guessing we’ll get some sort of flashback to Zoro’s family ties, hinted at in SBS and the story proper, as well as something on him visiting Ryumas grave, as he wished.
Lighthearted fun! I give it three different routes to follow and a million bonus points for tank top-Law.
Serious thoughts re. the whole:
Both in terms of story-telling and art, the latest chapters looks almost like a second draft, but not yet the final creation. Some really weird decisions were made regarding character development and the art looks more and more rushed, the detailed backgrounds the only clean thing the eye can rest on while the characters and moving parts are rushed and sketchy, especially in the larger panels with a lot of them (see panel with Raizo and Shinobu for example).
I realize some of the issues with art might have to do with scanlation quality, but I usually read through the official as well (support it as well, guys!) and the same things are noticeable there. It’s hard to say if it’s the length of Wano dragging Oda down, the length of One Piece finally taking its toll or the million other projects he has rolling (film RED, Netflix live action, planning the final saga, etc.), but the lack of focus is really showing.

At the bottom of the sea, chapter 1
I asked before how many Lawlu outsider POV fics are too many and then didn’t wait for an answer. Sorry, Kid, but you knew your turn would come eventually :)
Summary: Kid never would have believed there was a person crazy  enough to actually mate with Straw Hat Luffy, the biggest, most selfish  idiot on the seas. But seeing as the mating mark on said idiot's neck  was very real, Kid had only one question:Who the hell is Torao?
[READ ON AO3 or below the cut]
Part 3 of Until We Drown verse
[Part 1 | Part 2]
----------
When Kid had first noticed the scar on Straw Hat's neck, he had assumed it was simply yet another injury from his fight with Kaido. After all, when they had first tossed him in the cell with him, he was covered head to toe in bandages, the blood still seeping through in several places. It wouldn't have been so weird for him to have a wound or twenty still visible a week later.
But when all his other injuries disappeared only a few days later, leaving behind the one single, comparatively minor scar, Kid couldn’t stop wondering about it.
Every time the reddish patch of skin caught his attention, his eyes would linger on it, trying to figure out just why. Was it poison? Something to prevent the skin from mending fully? He’d really rather know if there was someone with a power like that among the Beast Pirates before he went back to kick Kaido’s ass. Would make recovery a real bitch.
It didn’t seem to bother Straw Hat much, if at all, however. Most of the time, he went on on his infuriating way of picking fights with Kid over the smallest things as if nothing was wrong so Kid supposed it was nothing for him to lose sleep over.
Yet, there was something that didn’t let Kid completely forget about it. Every single day in the evening, when all the prisoners were sent back to their cells and there was nothing to do, Straw Hat would inevitably end up with his hand on his neck, tracing the scar with his fingers with a complicated expression on his face. Kid would be lying if he said he wasn’t curious as hell.  
But he’d be damned if he actually asked so he simply resorted to showing slight concern over his rival's injury. Meaning, he teased Straw Hat mercilessly, riling him up as much as he could during their little competitions.
What could he say, the kid was infuriating and it wasn’t like he didn’t do the same thing to him.
Kid couldn’t wait for the day Kaido was out of the way, so he would be able to fucking show Straw Hat who was stonger, faster, better, and teach him and everyone else that a missing arm was nothing; not with Kid’s power and his crew by his side. But currently, the Emperor was the thing on the very top of Kid’s shit list so Straw Hat was safe. For now.
Unless his stupid charity would get him before Kid could. That would be a damn shame.
Kid rolled his eyes as he watched Straw Hat give a bunch of his meal tickets to the tiny, withered old man again. Seriously, what was Straw Hat’s deal? Did he not get the memo that pirates did not do charity? It was kill or be killed, in labour camps especially.
But Straw Hat didn’t seem to care how much of a joke he was as a pirate. And obviously, neither did the old man.
“Thank you once again, Straw Hat man,” the old man said, accepting the tickets gratefully.
Straw Hat grinned. “Don’t worry about it, gramps. I’ll get lots more.” As if to prove his point, Straw Hat flexed his arm, causing Kid to roll his eyes once more.
But not before taking note of how many tickets Straw Hat had in his hands and how many he gave to the old man, and comparing them to the amount he himself had amassed during the day. Kid smirked. He was pretty confident he won. Just as he did every day.
"Are they okay?" the old man asked then, voice full of concern.
"What?" Straw Hat sounded painfully confused as he replied.
The old man huffed, gesturing to where Straw Hat was once more absent-mindedly massaging his neck. "Your mate. You keep touching your mark. Are they okay?"
Kid did a double take.
Straw Hat. A mate. Straw Hat had a mate. That was what the weird scar on his neck was.
He mentally berated himself for not realizing sooner but honestly, who would ever look at Straw Hat and think, ‘Oh yeah, he's mated.’ No one sane, that's for damn sure.
"Oh," Straw Hat uttered simply before going silent for a moment again. But then his face split in that idiotic, bright grin again. "It’s just itchy. It’s fine, Torao’s strong.”
The old man didn’t look convinced but it was obvious he didn’t want to push it either. It took only a second for him to sigh, shake his head, and change the subject. Probably because he knew that even if there was something wrong with this ‘Torao,’ there was nothing Straw Hat—or anyone else in this goddamned prisoner mine—could do about it.
If Kid cared about his problems at all, he’d say it was a good thing Straw Hat was such an air headed moron. If he had any more brain cells in that head of his, he’d probably go crazy in here, literally climbing walls, trying to get to his mate. This blind trust he seemed to have in people was saving him a lot of energy—while sadly robbing Kid of entertainment. It would have been pretty damn funny watch, whether it be Straw Hat losing his mind, or the guards losing their minds over Straw Hat going on a rampage but oh well.
He’d have to make do with their little fights.
Kid did have to wonder what kind of person this Torao was, however. He didn't recall anyone called that on Straw Hat’s crew, nor did he know of anyone else by that name. Kid wanted to meet them, see what kind of person was stupid enough to bond with Straw Hat of all people; willing to deal with his insufferable idiocy and selfishness for the rest of their lives. At the very least, he'd have liked to give them his condolences.
He was… intrigued by this development. But he wasn't desperate enough for answers to actively eavesdrop, and definitely not enough to ask.  
He'd rather stay locked in this damned labour camp than do that.
But seriously, he had better things to worry about—his escape for one, then it was looking for Killer and the rest of his crew. Then it was off to beat up Kaido.
And if he knew anything about Straw Hat, he wasn't about to stick around the mine much longer either. Then he'd pick up his cozy little alliance with Trafalgar Law of all people and go after Kaido, same as Kid. So, if this mate of his was in Wano, Kid was sure it was only a matter of time before he met them for himself.
Kid hoped they wouldn’t cry once he had Straw Hat beaten. He hated it when people cried. It was so very annoying.
No, Killer, it wasn’t because seeing people cry made him want to cry, too.
Shaking his head to rid himself of the image of Killer giving him his best unimpressed look, Kid got up from the dusty ground, shooting one last glance at Straw Hat before he walked away. Having a mate didn’t matter in the end at all. What mattered was strength, power, loyalty, and only trusting the people closest to you.
Everyone else could get fucked. Especially your ‘allies.’ He was sure Straw Hat would learn that the hard way with Trafalgar, just as Kid had with Hawkins and fucking Scratchmen. Straw Hat could only hope that mistake didn’t cost him his mate, the most obvious weak spot.
Kid, for one, was done risking his partner. Done with alliances.
----------
That was what he had thought at least but of course Killer had to be the voice of reason and insist that if they were to go against Kaido, they'd better wait to join in the large-scale raid the Straw Hats had planned. Or that Trafalgar had planned, more likely. It was stupid and Kid din't want to get involved in anything where those two played a part but he could never win against his first mate and Killer knew it. Asshole.
"So you showed up after all, Jaggy?!" Straw Hat called, sounding way too happy and excited considering the situation.
"Like I'd let you have the glory for taking down Kaido!" Kid shouted back, clicking his tongue in distaste at the very notion.
Just then, someone from the Straw Hat ship spoke up, tone a mix of relief and exasperation, "Luffy, look, Torao's here! You can stop fidgeting now!"
At that, Straw Hat whipped around, making a full circle and looking like an idiot as he searched for something through the heavy storm. The 'Torao', most likely. The mate.
Kid had nearly forgotten about that. But now that the person was there themselves, his previous curiosity came back. Instead of focusing on the enemy ships ahead, he continued watching his fellow captain as he took off to run to the other end of the ship, no doubt to get a better view of the sea in the back. Kid winced when after only a two steps, Roronoa grabbed Straw Hat's collar, making the rubber man's head jerk forward from the momentum, going further from his shoulders than should be humanly possible.
Seriously, Straw Hat and his weird powers.
Shaking his head, Kid focused back on where Roronoa was dragging his own captain towards the side of the ship, pointing him towards something below, in the water. Kid's eyes inadvertently followed in the direction as well until they found Trafalgar's submarine with the pathetic samurai boat perched on top. Was this Torao one of the samurai? Would explain why Kid had never heard of them.
"TORAO! HI!" Straw Hat screamed immediately, waving his hands widely to get the person's attention.
The crashing waves and heavy rain were his only response but Straw Hat didn't seem dettered in the least. Instead, his screaming continued, "Where were you?! I was looking for you but your friends refused to say!"
"Focus on the mission, Straw Hat-ya!" Trafalgar finally snapped with annoyance.
Probably not what or whom Straw Hat wanted to hear but on the other hand, Kid was glad Trafgar hadn't gone completely crazy yet. Even though Kid had to admit he didn't have much room to talk with picking allies, he had his doubts about Trafalgar’s sanity from the moment he heard he had allied with Straw Hat of all people.
Not to mention how long the two had been working together at this point. If Trafalgar wasn't insane before, he had to be by now by association alone. But it was comforting to know he still had it in himself to rein the biggest idiot on the entire Grand Line in.
“Also I’d hate to rub salt in the wound, but today’s banquet will celebrate the official alliance between the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates!” At the taunting remark from one of the Beast pirates, Kid whipped around, immediately forgetting about Trafalgar, Straw Hat, and the mystery mate.
“Big Mom and Kaido?!!” You’ve got to be kidding. Just one of them was bad enough, an alliance between two Emperors just as they were getting ready to attack was nothing but bad news. Not like it would change the result, Kid was going to beat them both regardless, but it was complicating matters considerably.
“In the name of Emperor Kaido, get this over with and sink them!”
Kid rolled his eyes at how confident these small fries were just because they had Kaido and Big Mom backing them up. As if they would save them from getting beaten up from all the way over at Onigashima.
Raising his fists, flesh and metal, he aimed at the enemy ship, readying himself to haul himself over to show his idiot ‘allies’ how it’s done.
“Why are these underlings getting so cocky!! They’re looking down on us, stand back!!!”
“Idiot, you’re the one who should stand back!!”
Oh no, you don’t, Kid thought. “Don’t get in my way!!!”
----------
“Torao! That power's cheating!”
“Oh, Torao, where did you go?”
“Torao, move the samurai below!”
“Torao, did you guys beat Big Mom?!”
“To-ra-ooo!!”
Remembering all the times that Straw Hat had called his ‘Torao’ over the course of the night, Kid was almost embarrassed that it took him until now to connect the dots. In his defense, it was the heat of the battle and there were a lot bigger things to worry about than Straw Hat and Torao’s love life and honestly, Kid didn’t even really care in the first place. But he would have certainly appreciated a heads up before this.  
Upon hearing that Straw Hat was finally awake after passing out from exhaustion, Killer had insisted that checking up on him was the least Kid should do. So, despite his better judgement, Kid had complied and really, this might have had just been the worst advice his first mate had ever given him and that was including the stupid alliance with Hawkins and Apoo.
As he stared with wide eyes at the scene before him, he suddenly understood why all the idiot friends of Straw Hat’s were scrambling off as if running from something, even going as far as dragging a protesting, confused son of Kaido away by force. Seriously, if Kid wasn’t rooted in place as he was, he, too, would have been running from the smell of possessive pheromones and the loopy, content grin on Straw Hat’s face while Trafalgar fucking Law had his face burried in the crook of his neck, his teeth sinking deep into the flesh where Straw Hat’s mating mark was.
Honestly, Kid would rather walk in on them fucking than… this.  
“It’s okay, Torao. I’m fine,” Straw Hat said quietly, raising one shaky hand to weakly run his fingers through Trafalgar’s hair.
“When will you stop being so damn reckless? I swear one day I’ll kill you myself,” Trafalgar growled back after a moment, once he finally released his bite.
Straw Hat snickered. “Eh, better you than stupid Kaido.”
Trafalgar groaned in response, frustration with his mate obvious even while his head was still resting against Straw Hat’s shoulder. “Fuck you.”
“No thanks,” Straw Hat laughed, making Trafalgar click his tongue in annoyance.
“You know what I mean,” he snapped, making Straw Hat only laugh harder.
Kid wasn’t entirely sure what this last exchange meant but he sure as hell didn’t need or care to know. Finally breaking himself out of his stupor, he quickly slammed the sliding doors shut once more, then turned on his heel to leave as fast as he could.
As he stormed away, a few last words carried over to him from Straw Hat’s room.
“Jaggy just left,” Straw Hat noted off-handedly.
Trafalgar sighed in response. “Fucking finally.”
Assholes.  
Kid all but ran outside then, heading straight for the nearest drinks table and grabbing for the first bottle of hard liquor he could find. He could only hope that would be enough to bleach his entire brain.

Receiving a Hug from Their Crush
Tumblr media
Anonymous requested: Hi my friend ! I hope all is well in your life ! can i please ask a little scenario for Rob Lucci, Kuzan and Killer who receive an unexpected hug from the person they secretly have a crush on ? how would they react ? make it as soft as possible and maybe a little nsfw if you want, thanks in advance 🤭
Mhm- I could not really see them acting “inappropriately” in this scenario so I just had them have a few inappropriate thoughts. Since these characters come off aloof, I had to give the Reader a “soft” personality- I do hope that is alright! Besides that, this so fluffy and came out longer than expected- I hope you enjoy this hon! I hope all is well in your life too anon!
Killer, Kuzan, Lucci x Reader (Gender Neutral/Nonbinary)
Warnings: Fluff- Suggestive thoughts, these characters are flustered. Uh, I know Killer is in the wano arc but I am not caught up to that so he may seem a little ooc since I am only using what I have seen from him in the Sabaody arc!
Words: 1673
Killer-
Killer felt great- His captain must feel greater. They after all made it into the New World. They feel unstoppable which of course is a bad thing, but one that they will bask in until they meet their match.
For now, Killer wanted nothing more but to continue to feel the excitement the crew is feeling. Even more so- Seeing that smile on your face. It has been a while since you joined their crew per Kid’s request (more like demand but hey, Kid knows when he sees talent).
So, it took a while for him to figure you out- Especially since you seemed so… Kind. It is normal to be kind to friends and the crew but even to strangers you were, and it threw him off. Once he found out you had no ulterior motive, he realized… He actually liked this soft personality.
It was a nice contrast to the mostly hostile personality the crew has to strangers. Though- It gave them all the need to protect your naivety. They did not mind at all but after a while for Killer- He realized that he had a crush on you.
It was weird for him, but it made him seek you out more out of anyone else in the crew. It turned out to be the right move because you understand him. His rather silent approach to people. You understood that and did not press him to talk to you unless he wanted to every now and then- Even then you were happy to carry the conversation.
You even made his meals after finding out he preferred noodles because of his mask. You took it upon yourself to make them- And it warmed his heart.
Because of this crush- Killer has experienced many new feelings, some of them more heated than others. For example, whenever you talked to him and leaned in further than what he is normally used to- He could not help his mind wander to the warmth your body created and how it would feel against his.
He longed for it but of course, it is just a crush. He knows better. He does not try to pursue these feelings either- Not wanting to get emotions involved or danger the crew.
That is the idea until you do something that makes his brain have a short-circuit.
Just one day after making him some dinner separate from the crew- You place the bowl of pasta down in front of him and proceeded to hug him. That… Sent a shock through his whole body. It was totally unexpected. After knowing you for a long while he did not take you as the touchy type and now that you actually hugged him, no matter how brief it was, he realized- He enjoyed it.
He enjoys your touch, and his mind wanders more. Screw logic- You are worth pursuing and he vows to make his feelings known.
Kuzan (Aokiji)-
“Why must you bother the new recruits?” Sengoku questions.
Kuzan yawns, completely not interested in this conversation. He is here for one sole reason instead of biking around the world, and it is because of you- Not the new recruits you are currently training. He sure did not mean to make them cry- He just pointed out how their forms were not useful unlike you who tried to encourage them to use whatever forms they liked as long as they followed the rest of your training.
“I will be on my way soon enough,” Kuzan murmurs.
Sengoku sighs knowing this is not going to go anywhere and neither is Kuzan. This happens too far often and all because Kuzan took an interest in a fellow marine. Completely inappropriate in Sengkou’s mind as the boss, but he allows it as long as it does not interfere with their marine work.
“It is (Name), isn’t it? Fine- Go ahead. I will tell them they are free of their duties but only for the night. These recruits need their basic training fully finished by the end of the week,” He mumbles giving in.
Kuzan just smiles at this. This is how it usually goes when he comes back to the marine headquarters. He longs to just either train with you one-on-one or steals you away- Or his personal favorite, take over the training session in an attempt to impress you.
However, he is not in the mood today. He longs just for a nap with your presence and then he can be on his way. It is easiest for everyone to let Kuzan spend time with you in order for him to get his work done. It could not be even more obvious to everyone too that he has a crush on you and yet you are the most oblivious person on the planet apparently.
Even when Kuzan fully flirts with you- You do not react to it. Not that he minds- He rather much enjoys your naïve and calm demeanor. It is refreshing among all these other marines who seek justice in a terrifying manner.
With permission, Kuzan goes back to the training grounds where he had earlier ruined your recruits’ concentration. The grounds are completely empty, and he waits a few minutes- Getting impatient, for you to return here with the good news of being dismissed for today.
He hears your footsteps and goes to greet you when he feels arms wrap around his mid-section. He raises an eyebrow at your unusual happy attitude. Usually, when he ruins one of your training sessions like he did today you would be grumpy but instead, you are hugging him?
Not only that but it makes his usual cold atmosphere soften. You are hugging him and… It feels nice.
Though the way you are squeezing him… He knows it is supposed to be loving but he can’t help the instant dirty thoughts and wonders of how your warmth could mix with his.
You pull back too soon, and he frowns.
“Kuzan, you need to stop ruining my training sessions. If you want to see me that is all you have to say,” You still manage to say in the gentlest voice ever despite the stern look you give him.
For once he fights off his perverse thoughts and just says in more of a demand. “Hug me again.”
You do not question him. Instead, you give him that brilliant smile before sliding your arms around him again. Yeah…
He can nap later.
Lucci Rob-
*First let me say this headcanon for Rob, he would 100% be touch-starved so in this situation, he would come to be a bit obsessed with hugs from his crush. Continuing on-
Lucci could not get any more annoyed with today. It has been exhausting and all he has been doing is paperwork from his last mission with CP9. He can’t wait until they can finally move to CP0. Then he won’t be stuck at Cipher Pol’s headquarters. He will not need to be pestered by the other member’s annoying behavior.
“Lucci-“
He nearly snaps at the voice, until he feels something wrap around him from behind. A head leans against his back and he just freezes.
“What is this- What are you doing?” He questions.
He already knows it is you- Their newest and definitely strongest (in his opinion) member. Somehow you captured Cipher Pol’s attention with your strength, but it did not match your personality. None of these missions do and he hated your guts at first- He saw you as weak and saw you merely as a distraction until he witnessed your strength when you trained with Kaku then him.
Your personality- He wanted to originally crush it. To form it into what he was raised to be- Merciless. It turned out you were also merciless but in a way that your target knows you do not want to torture them but will if you have to.
He hated that kind of person working here but, in the end- It was exactly what attracted him to you. He fought it off for so long but your everlasting kindness and the strength you showed to him eventually made him bring down his barrier. He allowed you to talk to him and he would give short curt replies in return.
That was all it was until he realized you even brought an animalistic side to him (he wants to believe that it is due to his devil-fruit and not the fact that he is still human).
So, hugging him like this and right now? It sets his skin aflame. He would want nothing more than to just devour you in acts of pure passion (and he will say hate) as he forgets about his stress but of course he can’t. Your relationship is definitely not that far along, and this is just a silly little crush he has.
“Sorry- Did I scare you? You looked upset so I thought you needed a hug. Even though our professions make us hard with our emotions- I like to think we all need hugs now and then. We are still very human despite our job. Wouldn’t you agree?” You ask… Still holding him.
He hates that he loves your touch and that- It really does seem to make this terribly long day better. He hates it but he will admit it.
“I do agree… Do you hug the others?” Lucci questions.
You finally pull back so you can look at him. That adorning smile that paints your face makes his heart ache in the best way possible. Especially when you answer. “No- You are the first one I felt comfortable doing that to. I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”
“No. I rather enjoyed it. I… Would appreciate it if you did it again in the future- However, I oppose you doing it to others,” He states.
You may have a too soft personality in his opinion, but you are not naïve. You definitely understood his possessive tones as you agree to it.

One Piece Chapter 1037 - Initial Thoughts
Tumblr media
And we are back, hope y'all had a good new year
Because now it's over and real life has kicked in! It's okay though, we still have One Piece and it's the first chapter of the year (unless you're just following Viz and then it's the second)
King's down, Queen's down, and we're looking like we may check in with Luffy, but there's still a lot of moving pieces so let's see how this one goes
Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release
Everybody stop what you're doing and rejoice, Reiju's on the cover story! Baeju confirmed alive! I mean, Judge and Ichiji too but I don't really care about them
We're back in the Fire Festival, but no Hitetsu or Toko, regular people sensing the party's almost over, some bitter, some just living in the glow of the paper mache Toki float
Lanterns are coming out too, with messages written on them on what people desire, still very intrigued how this will come into play
Back with Luffy and Kaido though, and Kaido is now getting boozed up
Least he offered Luffy some, Zoro would be all over that, but it's not like we could celebrate him trying to turn Wano into a pirate hive by squashing the capital and forcing all survivors into slave labour...
Well at least he's being a happy drunk right now, kinda acting like Luffy mixed with Saul
Oda making sure we know that being drunk isn't gonna affect Kaido's threat level, he matrix dodged that Roc Gun
And that was a meaty looking hit
The dome is crumbling, and it's right underneath Big Mom, keep an eye on that it may come back - like I envision Luffy winning will be shown on the Performance Floor but what if the debris KO's Big Mom and it's just Luffy standing over 2 KO'd Yonko? Morgans might die from all the Big News
Kaido's back to his dragon form now, but he's in his Sad Drunk phase, lamenting his inability to stop the castle falling apart...which is weird considering he's dropping it on the Capital knowing that it's loaded with explosives
5 Years to rebuild? Kaido you need a Franky...and if that giant sword gets damaged I don't think you can replace it
Luffy tries to attack, but he does his Dragon Twister, which Luffy parries away with his Haki (according to twitter people think this'd make Zoro fans mad because Luffy deflected something Zoro also deflected with his sword...people are silly sometimes)
Well now we have Hybrid Crying Drunk, a form we have seen before
He goes for the Thunder Bagua, but Luffy's been hit with it enough times to have it scouted
Really well-times move to both dodge and land on the weapon, before giving Kaido la chancla!
Kaido catches him with the tail though, leading to a badass panel of a Conqueror's Coated headbutt clash!
A clash Kaido wins, his Haki has gotten stronger, I wonder if getting drunk improves Kaido's haki, since Haki is tied to emotions too maybe he should've drank spirits
Angry drunk Kaido now, accusing Luffy of almost sobering him up. This is probably what we got in Bakura Town with the first Thunder Bagua
Luffy dodges Kaido firin his lazar but his Roc Gatling is clashed with Kaido's Gundari: Meteor Shower, both sides taking hits in the end
Luffy dodges the swing and gets a brutal kick to Kaido's gut to finish off this session, Kaido's taking damage but he's also still smiling in the face of damage, it's that unnerving tension that while damage is being done it doesn't feel like enough
Now we're going all the way back to Marejois! Sounds like the Gorosei aren't happy with what went down at the Reverie, which tbf is a promising thing since they were about to target Vivi
They are setting sights on Wano, which tbf they should've done years ago I mean I still feel robbed that Tashigi didn't get a part to play in the Land of Swords
'Nico Robin must have been apprehended by now' - Aha boy are you fucking wrong
Now they're talking about killing her? Boy if you think this was a war you have no idea what trying to kill Robin would do to you
The WG ships en route to Wano are being intercepted though, by a 'big shadow'
Wait a Devil Fruit!? You telling me this is a Devil Fruit's work?
ZUNESHA IS A DEVIL FRUIT, AND IT'S HERE IN WANO!
Oda come onnnnn, we've waited multiple weeks for this then you throw another break, not cool!
Well this is a wild chapter
The added focus on the Fire Lanterns makes me feel like they are going to play a role, maybe ghosts, maybe Momo can use the lanterns like Fire Clouds, something's gonna go down there.
Luffy and Kaido are still popping off, I expect that's all we'll see for now until we've wrapped up some more things but it is promising that Luffy is getting hits in and being acknowledged by Kaido, but given how Luffy isn't using any Gear Fourth it's clear that he still thinks Kaido has plenty in the tank. At least we got some variety with Kaido being drunk, tying back to pre-Wano appearances.
But then you go drop a bomb like that!? I mean I was wondering if Zunesha was gonna make an appearance since Momo stuck around on Zou while Luffy was in WCI but what does this mean!? What is Zunesha exactly? Was it Momo who awakened it by giving it an order? Will it be able to help Momo with Onigashima?
The last part I doubt because it's at sea but it may be warding off the WG, do have to wonder though if the BM Pirates will get involved, given how they've been knocked down to the sea thrice now
We'll have to wait...and wait, but Oda keeps throwing us curveballs that make this arc (at this point I feel like we should call it a saga) even more jam packed! 2022 is gonna be another wild year for One Piece.

Bootleg One Piece Smash might be just be my new favorite thing.
Tumblr media
Tier 3 subbing to gamer girl Nami.
Tumblr media
Holy shit! The World Government is actually right there. It seems like the end of arc party might get cut short. Last we saw the Big Mom pirates they were at the Wano falls, so if they're still there I imagine they'll fight or look for a way to get BM out of Wano.
Tumblr media
yah we know

Why is Oda making sure to avoid giving Sanji a full on successful moment with other women?
+extension
My question to Oda is: Why are you holding back with Sanji? If two strawhats are not supposed to end together then why hold back? With other members it is not difficult at all but with Sanji why are you super cautious?
Isn’t Sanji supposed to be the “Knight”? The “Prince”? The “Love-cook”? The “Gentleman”? (1 / 2)
Tumblr media
Sanji is supposed to be the character that always saves women, but here even though Sanji proposed to keep Vivi safe, the one who saved her later on and got a moment with her is Luffy.
Tumblr media
Sanji was the one to hear Tashigi’s cries and he went to save her. But after he clashed with Vergo, the ones who carried Tashigi away were the G-5 members. Sanji did not get a chance to, but then we get Zoro having a moment with her and infront of Sanji. Since he is the ladies’ man why couldn’t Oda give him at least that?
Tumblr media
Exact same thing with Hyori. But this time it got even more apparent. Hyori slept next to Zoro at first, then when she got in danger and Sanji was there.... nope... let Zoro have her.
Tumblr media
Im sorry I dont need to explain this one...
This is just a slap in the face honestly, cant get more straightforward than that.
Tumblr media
Are you kidding me? You can’t be serious....
So the man who literally was supposed to be all about “Women” got sent to an island with, not only okamas, but not a SINGLE woman. While Luffy goes to an island where, not only has ALL women, but also the most beautiful woman on land..... how is that fair?
All those moments where he could have had something nice but got cheated by other characters. What if I told you he got absolutely robbed by plot as well?
Tumblr media
So, he seems to be having a good time. Things are going well👍🏻 finally!!! But oh no, the ship got attacked. He has to leave. Compare that to Zoro and Luffy’s moments, he just cant have it.
And now to the big one...
Tumblr media
Eventhough he is clearly faking it, Sanji is trying to find a drop of water in the empty glass. He can’t do anything else at that point. Seems to be going well.
I hope you get something Sanji, you deserve to be a little happy AT LEAST😊😊:
Tumblr media
... 😶😶😶
You are just messing with me at this point.... ladies’ man my ass, he cant even get one decent moment with one for crying out loud
But then, oh Pudding started to love Sanji and he knows that. YES! Sanji finally getting somewhat of what he wants, seems to be moving smoothly. And plus a KISS!! Let us see this😁😁:
Tumblr media
Seriously.... he cant have that as well.🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
Zoro can sleep next to the most beautiful woman in Wano, that is fine.
Luffy can have the most beautiful woman on land love him, that is great.
Sanji can’t even have a kiss from a girl that loves him and get away with it. Why? For what reason?
Even compared to the woman Luffy and Zoro had moments with, the girls Sanji met are nowhere near as important, its not even close:
Pudding is a 35th daughter of a Yonko, a nobody pretty much. And Violet is a secondary princess compared to Rebecca who played more of a role in dressrosa.
So what now? Is he never going to get any successful moment ever? That is unbelievable...
Tumblr media
But that is the thing....
Well... now I ask you a question.... why is it always when it comes to her it is successful?
He always saves her, not like other women where somebody else does it before him.
When it starts to look good it actually ends good not like with other women.
He carries her like Zoro carried Tashigi (but better😅)
He saw her naked like Luffy saw Hancock
He caught her like Luffy caught Vivi
He might not have slept next to her like Zoro did with Hyori but I dont think that is needed at this point🤷🏻‍♂️.
The thing is people might think I am attacking Sanji x Pudding or ignoring Sanji x Violet, but in all honesty, how I am reading the manga they dont seem to be all that special. They are just other women who Sanji managed to save because there was no one there to steal it away from him.
Violet: “I’d heard that you are weak to women, to think it’d be this bad.... how disgraceful”
Sanji: “I will not doubt a woman’s tears”
Pudding: “Dont worry you will soon lose your life too! I have decieved countless people like this!”
Sanji: “And were you yourself one of them Pudding-chan?”
Any woman in love with Sanji is a win in any Sanji fan’s book, but when the characters around him and the plot itself ruins it... it is just not meant to be
