One Piece Thread: Gear 3rd!

Heads up the latest has hit the streets.

https://readms.net/r/one_piece/932/5658/1

Well it seemsā€¦

Summary

Orochiā€™s DF is the real deal - a mythical zoan. as goofy as it looks Iā€™m sure itā€™s really powerful. I donā€™t know much about the Orochi lore, but Iā€™m guessing each head might have their own properties.

Robinā€™s clones are cool, but whatā€™s intersting is how the shurikens didnā€™t hurt her original body. Back in the day if Robinā€™s bloomed appendages got hurt she felt it, but maybe sheā€™s advanced her powers beyond that initial weakness.

Komurasaki is pretty damn fast and strong, she managed to intercept Orochi and the dainty slap she gave him left created quite an aftershock. She mustā€™ve been training all this time.

The Yakuza leader seems to have some honor and cares about his men, I wonderā€¦

It was a bit obvious - look at the others laughing at the shogun and look at the leader ā€¦
Looking forward to how ODA fulfills the prophecyā€¦

Yeah, but there are enough pieces that Oda may have a surprise or two in how all this plays out.

i am not sure if the big mom thing turns out well, overall story wise.

I believe this Odaā€™s way of moving her off the board as an enemy and into friend category, despite doing such a wonderful job of making her a living embodiment of gluttony and greed. Might also play into taking down Kaido given Luffy and coā€™s current strength.

Edit: Also straight up anyone believe that performance?

sooo big momā€™s gonna be buu now?

Yeah, but does that make Chopper the pet dog or Mr. Satan?

The Yakuza samurai has apparently been under the employ of Orochi for ages now, so his display of loyalty is probably in line with his standard behavior. Of course we as an audience know the full situation but it makes sense Orochi and the spectators believe it.

Damn Big Momā€™s kids are cold-blooded they already talking about the line of succession and Linlin ainā€™t even in the grave yet.

Summary
  • Hyorogoro of the Flowers is that wee little man, how unexpected. I initially thought it was the savage dude hidden the prison.

  • Sanji canā€™t wait to test out his new suit at the womenā€™s bath, something tells me thatā€™s not going to go well for him.

-Iā€™m still trying to figure the subtext of Momoā€™s ā€œsnatchā€ phrase, is it a joke or something culturally ambiguous? I still have a strong belief Zoro has roots in Wano, but I donā€™t know in what way exactly. I know his master probably does at least.

Iā€™m guessing ā€˜snatchā€™ was a vagina joke? Would probably need translatorā€™s notes to know for sure.

Big Momā€™s crew getting the ā€œmiracleā€ survival treatment isnā€™t unexpected, but still feels like a cop out. Saying some nameless DF users drowned off panel doesnā€™t help with that.

Perospero was ready to take charge like it was no big deal.

Sanji going to have a wardrobe malfunction at the worst time. Gives the name raid suit a whole new meaning!

Assuming Zoroā€™s master came from Wano, I wonder why he left? Bet Zoro will come upon some hidden item from the past that gives him reason to question things.

Heā€™s probably there but is using Stealth Black so he doesnā€™t spook Nami and Robin with his pervy presence.

Queen is a lot goofier than I expected, and surprisingly heterosexual. He was really having a ball, but his zany behavior doesnā€™t fool me one bit, considering Jack was able to fight the minks for days on end without tiring yet kowtows to is ā€œbig brotherā€ is quite telling.

Summary

Raizo showing his ninja stealth skills are top class, he looked like he was moving at the speed of light. Honestly, a lot of the Smile henchmen seem just like a big disgrace at this point.

So seastone also makes Luffy unable to effectively use haki, thatā€™s quite interesting. It seems once a Devil Fruit user reaches a certain haki threshold the seastone can only suppress a certain amount of their spirit, but if the overall volume of the DF userā€™s vitality is great enough they will still be capable of superhuman feats. I know this manga isnā€™t real life and just a fantasy, but itā€™s really it makes me wonder how the science of Devil Fruits really work. Guess we have to patiently wait for Vegapunk.

And this Kawamatsu guy, he seems to be a serious contender, they type that would keep fighting until the end. Maybe heā€™s even strong enough you give Queen a run for his money.

Good chapter! Lots of little story advances, and the panels where Queen reacts to hearing the three pieces of news are meme worthy.

Queen is a strange power bracket so I donā€™t know what to expect from him. Like, everyone at that level is a threat, but theyā€™re also getting jobbed out constantly now.

Queen reminds me of that fat guy in Hokuto No Ken

His name is Heart yeahh canā€™t be a coincidence
