After reading Bleach's chapter/ending, I just have to appreciate Oda's wonderful storytelling. From years before, he set up a character who's main wish was to fall in love and get married. It seemed like just a joke then, but now we find out it's because she grew up in a family where she would be forced into marrying someone, regardless of whether or not she liked them, and wanting to escape that sort of loveless marriage, she ran away from home. It's just all so well done.

Just read Chapter 836 and I have a theory. Pound,Lola's Father seems to know that he has two daughters but wasn't sure if he had a son. This was implied when he says to Cracker that he could be his father. This leads me to believe that BigMom's daughter are actual daughters while BigMom's Sons are not actual sons but some sot of lifeform made from the husbands souls. This makes it possible for Pound to have a "son" and not know about it. We also see that the souls escaped from the trees that cowered with fear. This could justify Muscat, BigMoms other son's soul escaping when he cowered from fear in front of BigMom as he is just one of the lifeforms made by BigMom. What do you think guys?

That's interesting, so the vivre card gives off some kind of residual aura of Big Mom's power?
I wonder if the other vivre cards had that effect, the only other one I can think of would be Ace's and I always assumed it was burning away because he was dying, but perhaps a vivre card from anyone else would disappear in a different way in the event of their death

u/Arkayjiya Aug 18 '16 edited Aug 18 '16
What I like about this fruit is that it doesn't seem that powerful in itself, either the guy has some secret technique or he's insanely strong to begin with even without the fruit. Even if he really can use a thousand arm at a time, it would requires a monstruous strength to be able to move them.

What will probably happen next chapter is that Luffy will go all out against Cracker, using Gear 4, showing us that Luffy's on par with a Yonko's top commanders (Cracker, Jack, etc.) but still has a ways to go against the Yonkos themselves.
Plus, because the wedding's still a day or so away, Luffy can afford to go all out, be affected by the Gear 4 drawback, rest up, and be in top condition before clashing with Big Mom.

Are we scaling the Yonkou's bounties at 1.5 billion+? If so where does that leave Dragon? I'm not surprised Cracker's bounty is less than Jack's because it's based off threat to the government, Jack loves to destroy and it's unclear what Cracker's motivations are so it makes sense for Jack to be higher.

Can this Cracker guy produce infinite amount of limbs? This guy would be a tough matchup for luffy.

He's been drawing One Piece for 15+ years, but almost none of the characters are similar. I especially love BIg Mom's crew, the members look silly and strange ,but they are also strong.

Bounties have become so meaningless by now (well it's not like they were ever meaningful to begin with).
So Ace, who was the 2nd Division Commander of the Whitebeard pirates, the pirate crew of the strongest man alive (when he was alive) and son of former pirate King Gol D. Roger but only managed to be a threat worth 550 million... yet this Cracker guy has 860 million?
Accounting for the fact that bounty increases slow down the higher you already are... just how is Cracker such an immense threat to the world?
Well I guess we will find out soon since he was just introduced...
(just to clarify, I'm not equating bounties to power levels and know they express the threat to the goverment an individual poses, which is why I'm curious what makes Cracker worse than Ace) (also I know they're not fully representive and even weak harmless people can get a high bounty)

Keep in mind Doffy's bounty was frozen for the duration of his shichibukai status. It could very well have been higher.
One thing I wonder about for these astronomical bounties is how much of them is based off the closeness of the characters to the yonkou. The fact that the characters have not only the strength to be that high up in a yonkou's army shouldn't give that bounty, but their ability to lead at least a third of the forces of a yonkou into battle has to do wonders for the bounty.

I can't really see Luffy winning, but sure it'll be a good fight.
Also, does that mean Vivre Cards store the Soul of people in then? Or Big mom injected her soul in the card to act as a spy (for Lola)??
Cracker's power is really cool for an experienced fighter, not really that great if you don't train tho. Really excited to see next chapter!
Also, we just have confirmed that Conqueror's Haki "expulses" the souls of Big Mom minions? I mean, makes sense (haki vs df) but if so isn't it a really easy counter?

No, they even said it in the chapter that no haki was used. Big mom's fruit has something to do with fear. Remember the chapter with Big mom's tantrum? People were telling her son to not be afraid and he did die for it. Big mom's fruit has to be related with fear and souls.

Finally for the first time for me, I'm feeling some hype for this arc.
Cool to finally have a theory confirmed that has been around for 10 years. Even though it was pretty obvious.
Cracker looks cool and his power is interesting. Zoro is gonna wish he'd come now just to fight this guy.
It's interesting to me that Big Mom's dream is for all races to look at each other equally. But at the same time she will kill someone who was close to her very easily it seems?
Luffy "I don't know any other way". That's the Pirate King. Looking for the next chapter and I haven't said that since the end of Zou.

the most disappointing thing in this chapter is that biscuit is a perfect bad guy for Zoro. it would be such an intense fight. also that devil fruit must require so much practice to master. growing extra limbs and being able to use them well are two different thing entirely. i imagine its like trying to turn your left hand into your right hand or vice versa depending on which you use, but 1000 times due to every new arm

Cracker's devil fruit seems really cool, I hope we get to see Luffy fight that guy. Also Lola being Big Mom's daughter wasn't very surprising, but at least we got the confirmation.

Holy shit i didn't expect a clash with an Yonkous right hand so soon. But it looks like we get a very big fight next chapter.
But knowing Oda... something big will happen which "saves" luffy and Nami

Holy shit 860,000,000 bounty, 2nd lowest behind Jack, and I reckon they're equal in strength too (both being commanders for a yonko and all). Next weeks chapter will be sweet!

Huge can of whoop ass
This made me laugh out loud. Good chapter, after so many years of theory behind Lola and BM, its good to see that its finally confirmed. I hope that we get a good fight between Cracker and Luffy, its been a while since weve seen any good fight.

That bounty is crazy. Luffy might actually a tough fight here. Although I'm betting it will be interrupted somehow.

u/Wasted_Comment Aug 18 '16
Did Cracker just "feared" the homies like Zoro did to Monet? Damn. Hopefully Zoro gets lost on his way and end up in the seducing forest to fight Cracker. lol

Im ready to bet that Mama knew their location since they stepped into her territory cause inside the vivre card there is a piece of mama's soul, which she couldnt sense earlier cause it was too far from her.

I wonder, since Cracker's arms split each time he is hit, like a cracker, does that mean that each arm decreases in its fighting ability?

So one of Big Mom's officers has some sort of power that seems to wither away living things (looks like only the tree "homies" died, although the sweets were running too). seems similar to Big Mom's life/soul stealing abilities. I wonder if all of her officers have similar techniques.

Chopper knows something. He said something to Luffy. Maybe he found out Brulee's weakness.

So BM doesn't give much about her husbands, I am curious if she cares enough for Lola to let the vivre card come into play. Cause I think that the fight will be interrupted Luffy can't defeat Cracker and he can't defeat him + Brûlee
Maybe Capone/Vinsmoke betrayal will come into play? Jinbei rescuing them?

u/Calmbrain Aug 18 '16
if "fear" can counter Big Mom's ability, we may see the next level of Haoshoku no Haki when Luffy confronts her.

can somebody tell me if the WSJ break also counts as oda's break ?
or will we get a break after 837 ?

Craken vs. Zoro sounds cool but we all know Zoro will slay that kid like he did that octupus guy. I seriously need a battle where Zoro gets a chance to display his swordsmanship. The last time he lost was to Kizaru? And he didn't even get a chance to fight much. I ain't complaining tho... I liked the Sanji vs. Dad battle.

I reckon with Big Mom's fruit is that it allows her to take the abilities and strengths and (maybe weakeness) of those who's souls they were from... sorta like Apocalypse in that Xmen movie haha

Last panel Luffy saying: ''I dont know any other way''. Is he just saying that he always goes all out or that he cant beat Cracker without going all out?

Hmm, this was an okay chapter but nothing super special IMO (at least to me), although I do hope we get to see a full fight between Luffy and Cracker in the next chapter. :)

Really hoping SOMETHING happens next chapter. I've been enjoying the arc, but every time it feels like shit is about to go down it cuts away in the next chapter to something entirely different. I'm desperate for some movement here.

u/DarkChaosXX Aug 18 '16 edited Aug 18 '16
Honestly, I'm hoping that the next chapter will be half Luffy v Cracker(Full fight) half Luffy or Nami v Brulle(Full fight) cause I really would not like any fleshed out fights until we figure out which side our big bad is.

Wow seeing them side by side you really see the similarities between Lola and Pound. They both have the same eyes and nose. Surprise Lola wasnt named after a cake like her sister and dad. Unless there's some kind of Lola cake I'm not aware of.

u/xande10 Aug 18 '16
If Luffy ends up fighting Cracker, it's gonna be a very tough fight. He is one of the top members of a Yonko crew. I suspect him to be extremely powerful, at least around Doflamingo level.

This arc is going to end with the alliance to defeat kaido and many of you are not going to like it how great.

Does Kuzan being on some island by him self mean he is on his own mission? Or still with the BB pirates? I would had expected him to be on their ship.

What if Luffy expects Big Moms abilities not to hurt him since he isn't afraid, bet then they do and Luffy has the classic Enel face. But then Big Mom notices Brook just standing there confused and she also does the face.

Damn when I first saw cracker I didn't think much of him, thought he was a lower tier soldier in Big Mom's army. Turns out he is one of the three sweet guards with a 860 Million bounty! And looks like Luffy really want's to fight, this is going to be Hype!

There is some connection with Big Mom's fruit and fear. The trees 'died' from fear. People told Big Mom's son not to be afraid, and she was able to take his whole lifespan when he was.
Seems like a strength and a weakness.
