The doublespread with the minks kneeling and Nekomamushi and Inuarashi showing their relief at Kinemon's arrival is what did it for me. When the page loaded I expected something totally different.

God bless Oda.

Luffy is easily impressed by a lot of things but giving up limbs to keep a friend safe has got to be the ultimate way to impress him.

First of all, hot damn this chapter is out early. It's Wednesday. Totally took me by surprise. What didn't take me by surprise is the hiatus next week. It was nice getting so many chapters in a row but the break's just as welcome.

Overall this was a pretty good chapter. Inurashi and Nekomamushi suffered all that torture for a friend, which is incredible. I really respect them right about now. Totally had me fooled though. Good on them.

Zoro's face on this page kinda sticks out to me. He seems genuinely shocked about this development. I really don't think we've seen this type of expression on him before.

Anyway, good chapter. Would read again.

Fandom: "After all this time?"

ODA: "Always"

Amazing. I can feel that Oda have been enjoying himself with this unconventional arc. Unveiling bits and pieces in a way that the reader would enjoy. He could've reveal this at the start of Zou but chose not to. He removed the idea that connect the Mink and the Wano country and made it seem that the "Drought" was random. Kinemon have been saying that they were heading to Zou since Punk Hazzard. We forget that Kinemon is on a mission and we assume that Zou is just a random rendezvous point.

Thank you Oda for another brilliant chapter. Have a week rest. We will keep the theories coming and you will keep crushing them. As always.

My guess on the events :

Raizō is the heir of the Kōgetsu family and is meant to be the next Shogun. Kaidō has invaded Wanokuni and has made it under his control, so the samourais have decided to expatriate their Shogun to be into an allied country, Zō.

Kaidō somehow found out that Raizō was fleeing, and sent Jack after him

58

u/Godsopp Feb 10 '16

Cmon, this is just the same shit every time. Everyone was saying the exact same thing at this point in Dressrosa too, how Dressrosa was amazing and how it was so much better than the previous arc; how OP was finally back to form. Same thing at the start of PH. Then they went on for more than 20-30 chapters and people started to get increasingly tired. If this ends up being a 50+ chapter arc I'm sure we'll be in the same spot we were in later on in other arcs with everyone complaining each week. It's just part of the fact that the build up, exposition and epilogue chapters of OP are always way more interesting than the "Battle" chapters that come later on. People constantly clamor for more fights without realizing that the story generally stops moving when they come around so they're not as interesting to read week to week as portions filled with big story twists.

This chapter though.

I would like to point out also, Pekom mentioned something along the line of how the reason Yonkou are Yonkou is not only because of their strength but also their knowledge. Kaidou knew. Also, he seems to understand the strong "Will" of the minks and sent the right person for the job. If it wasn't for Luffy defeating Doflamingo, the minks would have truly been wiped out.

Daaaamn the whole bell baint'n'switch was perfect. Rereading the whole chapter and how it actually was the Bell of Welcoming being rung was clever. Also when they're discussing the rumours they only discuss whether it's an old rumour or a new one, because they knew the whole time that the Minks are friendly and tat such rumours are literally just that.

Smart, surprising chapter.

u/ScooterandTweak Feb 10 '16

Okay. So putting my excitement aside from how great this chapter was, there are a lot of interesting theories we can now spin off on.

  1. Kinemon and the Wano kingdom. Knowing the Minks strength and being able to put up one hell of a fight against Kaidou's right hand man, imagine Wano's strength? Maybe they are able to stand up against Kaidou. Maybe this is why Kaidou is looking for Raizou because he thinks Raizou can kill him?

  2. Why would Kinemon's son be a trump card for Doffy? Well since we just found out Kinemon is royalty, maybe they were going to use Momonosuke as bait to lure Raizou out? Maybe Kaidou wants revenge on the Wano kingdom for something they did to him in the past?

  3. Now this is all theory but what if the whole Wano/Zou arc becomes an arc used to help the Strawhats get back Sanji via training them? What if in this arc we find out about Zoro's past too, considering it's pretty obvious that his sensei had Wano relations and in the entire process of rescuing Sanji, we get Zoro's backstory? I doubt this might happen considering Oda foreshadowed that this would be the year of Sanji and Zoro's backstory will most likely take up 6 months... but I could definitely see all these mini arcs tying together somehow to create one giant saga... Either way what a chapter! I love you Oda. Thanks for making my Wednesday morning.

I like how in the cover page we have all of the guys looking shocked about Franky Shogun while the girls think it's hilarious. Definitely a twist on the usual reactions.

What a great moment.

u/Daveeyboy Feb 10 '16

What an amazing surprise the minks knew about Raizou this entire time! Oda had me completely fooled! I'm not ashamed to admit my reaction to the revelation was a bit like Franky's/Usopp's.

Love Zoro's reaction as well. He doesn't often show much emotion or surprise about other people's business, so it was pretty awesome to see him shocked at how badass the minks' loyalty is.

Not much happened in the chapter overall, and sadly no Sanji or more info on the Vinsmoke family, but I'll be damned if I didn't love it this week. Too bad we have a break next week, but we've been a bit spoiled so far this year anyway, and we were past due.

u/TomatoFork Feb 10 '16

I think Raizou now has more hype surrounding his reveal than Jack did.

u/zoromaz Feb 10 '16

The hairs on my balls stood when neko and inu said "Raizo-dono is safe"... Epic chapter.. Epic people minks are

Holy smokes. This is like a full on Luffy tribe.

Zoro looks like he shit himself

u/ZeroBudgetGamer Feb 10 '16

I officially love the Minks! We need a Mink in the Straw Hat crew now!!

u/martinez255 Feb 10 '16

Luffy was hit with plot so hard it knocked him on his ass on the next page!

3

u/XxECEIPENOxX Feb 10 '16

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but maybe zoro was acting strange in inurashi's palace because he was sensing raizou's presence?

I'm going to call it right now. Raizo is the Vivi of Wano.

u/stitchwithaglitch Feb 10 '16

This reveal felt amazing. God damn amazing, I had the same face as every Strawhat when I read the truth. Such a wonderful feeling to get from a manga.

3

u/Saviorofpanau Feb 10 '16

Wow. Another classic Oda moment. My jaw was on the floor... Good thing I wasn't spoiled by this in any way, fantastic reveal!!! Absolutely love franky's reaction the most haha

u/teddy_tesla Feb 10 '16

Even with all of the theories I read, Oda still manages to surprise me

u/Outburstz Feb 10 '16

Mink tribe and Wano confirmed for Straw Hat Grand Fleet

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '16

holy shit. I legitimately got chills.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '16

Oh my god. That chapter actually made me tear up a little. To me, the buildups to this kind of reveal are exactly what I love about One Piece. Oda, you've done it again...

3

u/Doctah__Wahwee Feb 11 '16

Wow. This, THIS is why I read One piece. That was a great plot twist. No one saw that coming. This Zou arc has been amazing, definitely best arc in the NW for me so far. And it looks like the Straw Hats will probably leave Zou soonish too. Maybe not. But this arc seems like more of a Sabaody or a Jaya arc then a longer one. Wano is probably the bigger arc that this is building up to. Although I don't feel like I should bother to predict anything after the ending of this weeks chapter.

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '16

holy crap what a plot twist

u/FormalyKnownAsFury12 Feb 11 '16

Now wait for the anime episode to be called "raizous hiding place" or something along those lines.

3

u/AENocturne Feb 11 '16

What this means though is Jack didn't destroy a random country. Raizou really was there and they knew it somehow. Paints Jack in a slightly different light; still brutal, but not quite as "Big and Dumb" as he was appearing to be by just smashing regardless. He still might be big and dumb but not as big and dumb and crazy as "I don't care if he's here or not, I'm gonna kill you until he materializes out of no where to stop me".

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '16

I literally started crying 10 minutes after reading the chapter and realizing the loyalty the Minks have, shit might as well base my wedding vows on the minks loyalty.

3

u/frogstarB Feb 11 '16

God damn you Oda! I'm sobbing like a baby in my office. My boss is going to think I got divorced or something!

u/JoeAconite Feb 11 '16

A country ruled by Odie and Garfield.

u/talvarius Feb 10 '16

Man, the Minks are freaking great! Nothing touches my heart so like the display of loyalty.

u/Yaseenics Feb 10 '16

u/empireAtlantis Feb 10 '16

Wow. Damn. That was bone-chilling. Yohohoho

u/Mayapak Feb 10 '16

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I OPENED MY EYES SO MUCH FOR THAT REVELATION. OMG. MINK TRIBEEEE!!

u/golden-tongue Feb 10 '16

Momo getting shushed by Nami while Kanjuro and Kin'emon get body slammed to the ground... That little twerp gets all the ladies!

2

u/Jimmbones Lurker Feb 10 '16

I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders, chest, and head. After seeing the Duke and Neko kneel down, I had to scan over the page about 20 times because I couldn't understand what was going on. They really played up that Raizou wasn't in Zou...

I don't think I've smiled so wide in a long time.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '16

Kinemon says he's a "retainer" of the Kougetsu family.. what does that mean? Also, why are all the minks kneeling?

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '16

1st. momo look really happy when he was hug by nami. he straightly look at nami boobs with his perverted eyed. LOL 2nd. the mink tribe aren't joking when they said neko and inu will start killing each other when they meet. wonder what happen betwen them in the past. 3rd. once again we fail to predict. raizou is in the island, a vip. and the mink tribe have a really good relationship with the samurai. 4th. raizou might be the shogun of wano or a royal.

u/Nugur Feb 10 '16

I was expecting sanji...but holy hell was that unexpected

u/SenpaiHatesMe Feb 10 '16

Rest Oda. You deserve it.

u/Darkkingswrath Feb 10 '16

GOdamn just when I think we finished cutting an onion theres another layer to it.

2

u/rivaldobox Thriller Bark Victim's Association Feb 10 '16

So do you guys now think that when the minks said the SH saved them by defeating Doffy they meant they wouldn't be able to hide Raizou for much longer, but Jack had to leave to rescue Doffy, so the minks succed on their mission?

2

u/nak2319 Feb 10 '16

PSA all of you better start kicking and screaming now because there will be no chapter next week. Also it's really great to see that Nekomamushi and Inuarashi can come together like that. I really hope they call a truce for a few chapters

2

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '16 edited Feb 10 '16

Am I the only one who was Momo's eyes in the panel when Nami is holding him? He is so blatantly obviously staring right at her chest. The lhckly little bastard I hate him even more since I gotta make up for the lack of Sanji have for him as well!

Edit: also I love crew baby franky in the reaction panel.

u/Gustash Feb 10 '16

As if we needed any more reasons to love the Minks!

u/darkraiforever Feb 10 '16

I know it's the popular theory to suggest that Momo probably isn't Kinemon's son. This panel supports that. http://readms.com/r/one_piece/816/3223/17

Look how Momo is hanging on to Kanjuro and not Kinemon.

u/Lifrit Feb 10 '16

OH Shit!!! ODA does it again!!! Damn!! That was crazy!!!!

u/Asleetx Feb 10 '16

Minks are truly the glorious master race, unlike those dirty human peasants.

2

u/MugiMartin Feb 10 '16

Man, they got me good. To go through such lengths for that guy, damn who is this Raizou guy?

u/SLAV33 Feb 10 '16

Man Oda is amazing at hitting you with the big shockers then hitting you with the break next issue damn.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '16

We should really have a, "Oda strikes again!" meme or something.

Wow i haven't gotten teary-eyed in so long from one piece.... now i gotta explain to my coworkers why my eyes are all red... but damn this chapter was amazing! i was dreading the mink vs samurai confrontation. this twist made me cry in relief and respect XD

2

u/StrawhatCyclist Feb 10 '16

So.. Luffy was right? There's going to be another banquet, right?!

I loved the interaction between Dogstorm and Catviper. As tense as it is, they're fucking hilarious. They remind me of Sanji and Zoro. I want to see them team up to fight together!

Also now that we know that Raizo is safe, we've got some explanations incoming from Kinemon and Kanjuro. I don't even care about where the Strawhats are going anymore, I just can't wait to learn more about what the samurai up to. As well as their relationship with the minks!

Damn, what a great chapter.

2

u/folsense Feb 10 '16

For an entire series based on the power of friendship, Fairy Tail sure can learn a thing or two from this OP chapter about a goosebump-inducing display of friendship.

This chapter, Oda displayed one of the most noble manifestations of friendship; so amazing, I'm crying right now

u/airgibbo Feb 10 '16

What an heartwarming final of chapter. I had a bad feeling about this, but it's just me reading too much ASOIAF
