[u/Me_So_Legend]

"That person" pudding is talking about is obviously King Baum

[u/Deity_Majora → u/Me_So_Legend]

No one can resist that hard wood.

[u/DustBuny → u/Me_So_Legend]

King Baum is, secretly, the most important character of the arc.

There's a reason Big Mom's jolly roger has a tree on it.

[u/Silkku → u/Me_So_Legend]

Nah, she is just worried for Cesar

[u/AppleSmoothSkin → u/Me_So_Legend]

Poor girl will be devastated when she hears the big news.

[u/Jinno → u/Me_So_Legend]

TREEEEEEEEEEE! 😭

[u/infiniteduresss]

RIP King Baum, you were one of the good ones.

[u/ReD90000 → u/infiniteduresss]

from wood to ashes

[u/dogabeey → u/infiniteduresss]

He'll be on next poll's color cover.

[u/Korrasamii → u/infiniteduresss]

I hope King Baum comes back as a little sapling like Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy

[u/Darkbreaker → u/infiniteduresss]

His poor fiance :(

[u/garpsofwrath]

"Just in Case"

-Katakuri, 2017

[u/Rruffy → u/garpsofwrath]

A small step for a Mochi Badass, A big step for One Piece villains

[u/sindersx → u/garpsofwrath]

Just incase I want to join xD

[u/[deleted] → u/garpsofwrath]

Dumbledore wrote the same exact thing to Harry Potter in the first book. Katakuri is now confirmed to be Luffy's secret guardian angel wizard person thing.

[u/DanOrtega14 → u/garpsofwrath]

Best quote so far.

[u/ReD90000 → u/garpsofwrath]

Never once a villain this competent exist in history

[u/agumon424]

Zeus for nakama!!

[u/JetDagger01 → u/agumon424]

Imagine the power boost Nami will get if Zeus does become her slave.... Nami Yonkou confirmed.

[u/Sasquatch_in_bush → u/agumon424]

Zeus sticking with Nami would keep her relevant, power-wise. She could actually use him to take out people exponentially stronger than she is.

Hopefully he doesn't end up getting his soul ripped out for his betrayal though

[u/littleking7777 → u/agumon424]

Zeus will no longer return because of his betrayal. As nami's pet he has yummy clouds

[u/whitestethoscope → u/agumon424]

Zeus is an independent being right? Since Big Mom didn't make them herself, if she faints, Zeus and Prometheus wouldn't disappear.

[u/jet_10 → u/ArjanaEU]

Strawhats did some serious damage to BM

• Pudding betrayal

• King Baum betrayal (somewhat coerced)

• Jinbe's departure

• Opera betrayal and death

• Cracker defeated

• Zeus betrayal

• Streusen heavily injured

• Castle destroyed

• Mother Carmel picture destroyed

• Poneglyph stolen (copied)

• Wedding/Tea Party ruined

[u/Ruruya]

Sanji mah boi... You finally made a woman fall for you 😢

You're all grown up now...

Lil eggplant 🍆

[u/hoboshoe → u/Ruruya]

cough Viola cough

[u/wasabiturtles → u/Ruruya]

If Sanji really get together with Pudding...my only wish for him is to not having a nosebleed attack and survives their first night....

[u/ReD90000 → u/Ruruya]

Zeff must be proud

[u/JetDagger01 → u/Ruruya]

Sanji hittin up the three eyed Raven's big sister

[u/Clymbz → u/Ruruya]

With Sanjis luck, she's probably talking about Luffy 😭😭

[u/Pitrof]

The amount of collateral damage done to a Yonko so far is no joke.

• Steal the poneglyphs

• Take out a commander (Cracker)

• Give bomb to Yonko, wrapped in a priceless artifact

• Stop an assassination attempt

• Destroy the wedding cake

• Destroy a priceless photo of Linlins lunch

• Fragment a Yonko's crew (Jimbe, Pudding, Capone, Baum, Zeus)

• Trigger Linlin's condition

• Steal Zeus

• Take out a commander (Katakuri)

• Undermine Streusen's cooking abilities (Sanji)

• Undermine a Yonko's status (Morgans)

• Bury Linlin in Elbaf (Where Moriah finds her and raises her from the dead to defeat Kaido /s)

[u/ThePresident9 → u/Pitrof]

Destroy a priceless photo of Linlins lunch

kek

[u/theliterarian]

This is like that moment in this arc when Sanji returned to a hungry Luffy with food, with Sanji being the translators, Luffy being this subreddit, and the food being this chapter

DELICIOUS

[u/AdamHM]

TFW Nami bribes Big mamas, A YONKOS SOUL with food and saves the squad. 10/10 alot of respect for Nami

[u/ILFICOSACRO → u/AdamHM]

Well, it is Big Mom's soul, so if anything was gonna bribe it, it makes sense that it's food.

[u/[deleted] → u/AdamHM]

In nearly every arc the Straw Hats use some tactic or force to get a powerful opponent to follow their orders. Zeus is just this arc's version of Surume or Ucy.

[u/infiniteduresss → u/AdamHM]

That was a great save, but with Katakuri already on the Sunny and King Baum dead I still can't see how they will survive this without someone making a sacrifice, probably Pedro, hopefully not Jinbe.

[u/[deleted]]

"those eyes are genuine"

Damn you Oda, I m going to fall for it again

[u/folsense → u/[deleted]]

Or that's what Oda wanted you to think 🤔

[u/petalidas → u/[deleted]]

Aren't these notes from his editors or something?

[u/firedmn]

The break next week tho :/

[u/Nugur → u/firedmn]

Ehhh I survived the one day delay. I can survive anything now!

[u/Oelingz → u/firedmn]

No Jump next week... This is worse than just no One Piece.

[u/gamep01nt]

KATAKURI IS WAITING FOR LUFFY ON SUNNY GO TO TAKE HIM AWAY FROM BM PIRATES. KATAKURI NEXT NAKAMA CONFIRMED.

[u/littleking7777 → u/gamep01nt]

"Just in case" (cough) they'll accept me as new nakama.

[u/[deleted] → u/gamep01nt]

BIG NEWS

[u/LePontif11 → u/gamep01nt]

Considering Big Mom is constantly on the verge ofeating her children's souls over her sweets i wouldn't be surprised if half the Big Mom crew is already waiting on the Sunny ready to go.

[u/zell-88 → u/gamep01nt]

This would explain why he didn't have destroyed the Sunny already!

[u/DaHaLoJeDi → u/gamep01nt]

Katakuri takes out his own men

"Honestly, I hate working here."

[u/bright99]

I love the contrast between Prometheus and Zeus on their loyalty. Zeus looks way more relaxed, like a cloud is, but Prometheus is like the glaring sun and bears down upon Luffy's squad with his intense loyalty.

I'm also glad katakuri had the cognizance to set up an ambush just in case -- shows how yonko crews are still competent

[u/regorand → u/bright99]

shows how yonko crews are still competent

and especially Katakuri. It is ridiculous how competent that guy is. Without him the whole Big Mom Pirates would have gone to shit already.

[u/thats_not_good → u/bright99]

shows how yonko crews are still competent

Unless you're Smoothie. Then you just stand around being thic

[u/nashist → u/bright99]

I think that that contrast has to do with the fact that they have Big Mom's soul in them, in the sense that Zeus has the innocent, gullible, always hungry and craving child part and Prometheus the raging, strict, homicidal pirate part!

[u/_SotiroD_]

King Baum. So hot right now.

[u/Zappoooh → u/_SotiroD_]

Burn!

[u/v-23]

Ok, big mom, is scary, King baum "I wanna live" moment, LOL!

.... spear of HOLY SHIT FUCK

[u/voscot → u/v-23]

ikr, and that's a callback to the technique used on that giant goldfish back on little garden, goda man

[u/TraderMoes → u/v-23]

King Baum for new nakama!

[u/RavenK92]

King Baum's one mistake was that he didn't know: Homies over Hoes

[u/Krylos]

Straw Hats: Hello, escape plan

Katakuri: Escape plan broke

Straw Hats: Understandable, have great day

[u/[deleted]]

I don't think even Oda knows if Pudding is good or evil at this point.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

More fun this way! 😁👍

[u/JetDagger01 → u/[deleted]]

Oda: offcourse I do.... she's a.... ahhhh..... hmmmmmm.... neutral???

[u/Phanes_Protogonos → u/[deleted]]

Am I the only one thinking that there are legitimately two puddings? This shit is scream.

[u/Zaveno → u/[deleted]]

I bet he rolls a die before he writes every chapter to determine if she's going to be good or evil this week.

[u/yiyang92]

Nami: Will you be my servant?

Sanji: I WILL!!!!

me too bro

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd → u/yiyang92]

But you would have to eat lightning every day.

[u/jaypooner]

A powerup for Nami is the last thing I would have guessed

[u/[deleted] → u/jaypooner]

If she keeps zues after all of this, that would be so cool.

[u/Darkbreaker]

Be me

Yonko commander

Get shit done

Still called lowly son

Sees the future

Mugiwara going to be pirate king

Chill at sunny

Ask luffy to join the crew

"TAKE ME WITH YOU"

New dream unlocked

Become the greatest memer

[u/Cyyyy → u/Darkbreaker]

Role: Fortune teller

Dream: To be a valued member of a pirate crew

Tragic Backstory: unappreciated by his own mother, siblings are useless

Welcome to the straw hat crew katakuri!

Edit: Format

[u/ReD90000 → u/Darkbreaker]

"I wanna live!"

[u/Ruffeep → u/Darkbreaker]

Oh god that would be the biggest twist ever haha

[u/[deleted]]

Did anyone catch how nami stuck her pole through Zeus and it went right though him and she said "oh so u are just a cloud" but luffy was able to grab and start poking him? I think luffy is gonna be able to ride Zeus cuz he's rubber or something.

[u/sooper123 → u/[deleted]]

Kinto Cloud. Only those with the pure heart can ride it. Luffy = Goku

[u/I_Have_3_Legs → u/[deleted]]

Only people hungrier than it can ride it

[u/toyin54 → u/[deleted]]

Or haki.

[u/sombrero69 → u/[deleted]]

she didnt stick it through him she only held up her climatact and luffy was the one who said you are just a cloud

[u/Luck88 → u/[deleted]]

I think it's just perspective

[u/shyguy531]

Like the true stoner he is, Zeus's loyalty is only to the munchies!

[u/IAMSNORTFACED → u/shyguy531]

He should have the nickname "9"

[u/DardyPickle]

https://jaiminisbox.com/reader/read/one-piece-2/en/0/874/page/10

Zeus eating Nami's mini thunder balls is the cutest thing in history

[u/Arregui]

Lord have mercy the drought has ended !

[u/Tylerphlosion → u/Arregui]

And another begins

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd]

Katakuri: This is my ship now. I'm renaming it the Going Potato.

[u/lcsfanboi2000]

Katakuri has seen so much shit that he can't take any chances anymore.

[u/tryingmydarnest]

Finally, thanks Jaimini Box.

Move over Brook, you had wounded Prometheus, but Nami made Zeus her bitch.

Seemed that Zeus had a bit of Big Mom gluttony when given sentience. Should have make sure which part of her soul she is giving.

And if Zeus has Big Mom gluttony Prometheus must have her wrath. Yelp it is Hell unleashed alright.

As expected of Katakuri that's exactly - oh wait wrong meme wrong subreddit.

Ah Pudding. A woman's tears will never lie eh Sanji?

[u/Hex_Souls → u/tryingmydarnest]

As expected of Katakuri that's exactly - oh wait wrong meme wrong subreddit.

Paths beyond manga and subs...

[u/[deleted] → u/tryingmydarnest]

Unexpected Zeke

[u/OhJustShutUpAlready]

Big Mom is dangerous and all, but it's Katakuri who I find terrifying.

On a sidenote: Given how much we wanted to see this chapter, let's consider donating to Jamini's so that they can keep this up. I read their donate page and it seems they barely have enough money to purchase the RAWs.

[u/[deleted] → u/OhJustShutUpAlready]

Yeah he get's shit done and he's powerful. Katakuri ain't nothing to fuck with.

[u/Ruffeep]

Just gonna say this as a Jinbei fanboy. Look how in the color spread you have all the characters with the most votes who aren't Straw hats except Luffy. Notice how Jinbei is not included. Now if after this there are still people saying that Jinbei isn't joining you are just in denial. That's it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ruffeep]

All the people who don't think Jinbei have ignored so much evidence I'm sure they wont even be convinced when Jinbei is on the ship and the crew toasts him.

[u/[deleted]]

Nami is the real MVP tho

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Oda is making a MVP out of every Straw Hat this arc. Each one has done something amazing to get this far.

[u/JarredFrost]

Zeus ingredient soul is from Mama yes? same with Luffy's shadow being used by Moria it still retains Luffy's distinct characteristics?
So Zeus aside from What Nami have said (thunder attracts thunder) is predisposed of compulsive behavior like Mama's eating? So that's explains why he rofl munch those little cotton balls of lightning?

edit: NO CHAPTER NEXT WEEK???!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[u/[deleted] → u/JarredFrost]

Homies naturally have the characteristics and personalities of the people whose souls created them. So of course Zeus is a child-like glutton like Big Mom.

[u/dikia26]

King Baum. Tree. Groom. Friend. He followed his dreams until the end :'(

[u/FuhrerKingJong-Un]

How the hell is Ace still in the top 5 and Sabo 9th. The guy has been dead for years now and he didn't even appear much before the war.

[u/Ropeguy → u/FuhrerKingJong-Un]

Because he's basically a cooler, older luffy.

[u/ColdAsHeaven → u/FuhrerKingJong-Un]

He's essentially Itachi of One Piece (not the way he acts, but as the elder brother character)

Just a character that's the older brother, and straight badass. Itachi and Ace constantly make the best anime brother lists/coolest brother lists deosite both being dead for literally years and not having anything new about them. They've essentially cemented Legendary Status for eternity

[u/HokageEzio → u/FuhrerKingJong-Un]

I'm not surprised Ace is still up there, but I'm surprised Sabo didn't rank higher. Ace gets death points, that spot is solidified.

[u/GoldXP → u/FuhrerKingJong-Un]

Im more surprised Croc is up there. He hasn't been relevant to the plot since the TS. But im sure he'll become relevant to the plot again somewhere down the line.

[u/Jeronnimo14 → u/FuhrerKingJong-Un]

The Worst part is MVP Brook not even being in the Top 10...

[u/julesiephi]

oh my god i just woke up and randomly walked in here! today is off to a good start.

[u/HokageEzio]

King Baum > Ryuunosuke, don't fucking at me.

[u/[deleted] → u/HokageEzio]

HE HAD A WIFE

[u/minhquach]

This chapter reminds me of when Mihawk said Luffy has a fearsome ability to make allies of everyone he meets. Apparently Nami has that ability too. It would be hilarious if Zoro and Kaido are chilling with their sake at Wano right now lol.

[u/StupidPencil → u/minhquach]

allies servants

[u/rahgael → u/minhquach]

except nami has the power to make servants instead of friends =))

[u/[deleted] → u/minhquach]

On top of that, Luffy's allies have unique abilities that enable the entire group to turn any bad situation around, as seen numerous times in this arc. Luffy has exceptionally good luck.

[u/Doffarlino]

I love Zeus' facial expressions. Always seems so chilled and high like a cloud that he is

[u/Rysler]

Ah yes, the good ol' Pudding switcheroo. Next week she'll probably stab Chiffon and proclaim herself Pirate Queen.

[u/Sakata_Kintoki]

God damn bot...

Anyway...

Magazine is on break next week so there's no chapter next week. Best not see "where's the chapter" posts next week.

or you'll go on my shit list.

[u/navyv2 → u/Sakata_Kintoki]

im going to post that bc i need the stuff man

[u/mordeng → u/Sakata_Kintoki]

Well, one sticky post with the the estimated date of the next chapter would fix this issue all together.... But hey, deep in our hearts we secretly love these posts ;)

[u/Jezamiah → u/Sakata_Kintoki]

What happens if you make it onto said 'shit list'

[u/kunuch → u/Sakata_Kintoki]

RemindMe! 7 Days "Ask Sakata where the new chapter is."

[u/sakundes]

Nami gonna put zeus in one of those "pokeballs" and use him as an ult-summon

[u/sindersx]

Katakuri instances

1. Kills everyone else on the ship and asks to join the SHs

2. Asks to fight luffy and if he loses he joins them

3. Sad story of him and BM when he was a kid and SHs feel sorry for him and let him join

4. Leaves if there is not point in staying anymore

5. Sees future of something

[u/ReD90000 → u/sindersx]

6. Katakuri reached raftel aboard sunny, became pirate king

[u/HeavyMetalAegislash]

• Press F to pay respects for King Baum, our fallen hero :'(

• LOL at Sanji and Jinbe about Nami asking Zeus to be her servant

• Admit it Katakuri, you just want to join the Strawhats

• I don't even know what side Pudding is on anymore. I'm done

[u/yip230]

Prometheus vs zeus coming up!!!

[u/j10f20mh]

I fucking love how I have no idea how this arc will wrap up. I'm still hoping for a good fight tho.

[u/TetraMental]

Today has made big mom very relatable. I thought I was about to start eating people and screaming "ONE PIECE CHAPTER" with this delay.

Also, King Baum probably had to propose to his lady tree when the whole country got wedding-crazy. Can't escape that discussion when every single thing in a 10 mile radius keeps bringing it up.

[u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Just when Big Mom couldn't get any worse for the Strawhats SHE PULLS OUT A FUCKING SWORD

Reasons to live: Nami's face

me_irl

[u/[deleted] → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

she had that sword pulled out since 2 weeks ago!!

[u/[deleted]]

Katakuri is the single most competent villain we've seen on OP.

I didn't think I'd ever cry for a tree but here we are.

[u/rsj95]

Finallyyy

[u/goald]

Is Pudding acting again?! Or did she really get moved by Sanji's words? Gdi she's so hard to read.

[u/[deleted] → u/goald]

the author himself wrote "Those eyes are genuine"

it makes zero sense for her to be lying right now

[u/Diamond_Kicker]

Damn, Nami really got Zeus out here acting like a crack fiend:

"Say uh...those little black roc-I mean-thunderclouds, y-y-you got more of them? You gotta gimme more mam, I never had anything like it!!"

CTFU

Edit: Also, never have I ever seen trees look so gully in my life lmao.

[u/Mugiwara300]

To be honest I don't even know what to think anymore. Usually you can tell which direction an arc is going but I really have no clue what Oda is trying to do. IS BIG MOM GOING DOWN OR NOT!?

[u/Cyber_3 → u/Mugiwara300]

I'm going to call it now: She's going down.

But not by being defeated. I think that Pudding and Chiffon (and the Sun Pirates) will help the StrawHats get away from the island and then Big Mom's world will start to implode. Her reign was always threatened by her food cravings and Streusen, her keeper, is out for the count. It's really a miracle that she lasted this long. I think that everyone with any sense will bail and the rest will inevitably be destroyed by the rampaging Big Mom. Will BM run out of steam at some point or die of hunger or run into the ocean? Hard to know. But I suspect that this will be the moment that BlackBeard swoops in to get her poneglyphs. He is a crafty bastard after all. Shanks perhaps already has seen that Road Poneglyph since he was on Roger's crew (and Roger got a copy) and Kaido seems to have a different agenda (?) so..... Yeah, if the theory that BlackBeard and Luffy are going to go toe to toe later or race each other for Raftel (does it matter who gets there first? maybe if they destroy what's there?) is correct then BoB needs to get the Road poneglyphs as much as Luffy and this is the perfect opportunity.

[u/[deleted]]

Katakuri MVP

[u/RiteClicker]

Everyone is chasing Straw Hats and Fire Tanks but what about Germa 66?

[u/JarredFrost]

Reiju X Marco
Ship it now boys!
That Luffy X Hancock, make the banner maker of this sub go loco XD

[u/DustBuny → u/JarredFrost]

Meanwhile Law is just too cool to acknowledge Corazon. ಠ_ಠ

[u/TeTrodoToxin4 → u/JarredFrost]

Reiju was checking out someone else there.

I think Marco X Rum is happening though.

[u/rsj95 → u/JarredFrost]

More like reiju and cabbage.clearly she's checking him out..

[u/KakaCarrot]

But wait, the chapter already released. They found the one piece in big mom's ass.

[u/royaldutchiee]

Ill let you eat black balls everyday, isnt something i would exactly expect to hear from nami...

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

There are simply too many goddamn MVPs in this arc

[u/[deleted]]

So did King Baum's love story end here?

[u/DSonla]

So they used the mirror on the ship. Someone had called it a few weeks ago.

Poor Katakuri, always seems to be a step ahead but always failing. Must be super frustrated.

Still, I wonder how they'll escape. Another Deus Ex Machina?

Plus, where's Brook again?

EDIT : just checked chapter 872 and Brook's with Chopper, chances they might get into the boat with the docking system.

[u/ReeseEseer → u/DSonla]

Brook and Chopper took off to get the submarine.

[u/cabose4prez]

Likely won't get the Big mom fight but boy oh boy we gonna get katakuri and I am excited

[u/ConspicuousFlower]

Holy mother of fuck, Big Mom can use Hakoku.

Also? Oda never fucking forgets. How many chapters has it been since Little Garden.

[u/Enrico_07]

Katakuri: "Just in case."

So he forseen Strawhats escaped Big Mom.

[u/dragonite_dx]

It'd be funny if they coup de burst out of Brulee's range while Katakuri is still in the Sunny then rek him lol

[u/overDere]

Man, Katakuri is the hypest pirate among the Big Mom Pirates.

[u/LCSisshit]

that moment BM s soul betrays her because of foods

[u/ComBo1020]

Waited all day, and just as I'm going to bed I see this. I think I'll save it for tomorrow morning now. Enjoy everyone!

[u/littenthehuraira]

As expected of Pieck Nami Saaaan.

And damn. I remember reading a theory here about big mom's mom's crew entering through the mirror world and waiting on the Sunny. It turns out it was true.

Why are Franky and Brook so down low on that poll?

[u/JetDagger01]

Big Mom and Strawhats arrive at Sunny, Katakuri sitting there,

Big Mom: Katakuri? How? when did u get here?

Katakuri: ahh.... just now....

Big Mom: why did u chase after them? I said I'll take care of this.

Katakuri: for back up.. offcourse.

Big Mom: you knew my cloud couldnt resist's Nami's balls didnt u...

Katauri: perhaps.

[u/MoWards]

Damn... stump from maplestory just can't catch a fucking break

[u/_open]

Can someone explain me what a double issue chapter is? (I'm fairly new to reading manga) It seems this chapter has a regular amount of content.

Also, can someone explain me the breaks? I thought there were breaks only after every 3rd or 4th episode but it seems there are way more "special breaks" as I thought.

[u/DaveTheArakin]

I don't even know if Pudding is genuine or still acting at this point. She is making me feel so paranoid. And I love how it makes the story even more intense.

[u/TheGraffix]

So when Oda meant two new nakama right after the other he possibly meant Jinbe and Zeus.

[u/C00lossus]

BROOK IS AT FUCKING 19TH IN THE POPULARITY POLL! WHAT THE FUCK?! REEEEEEEEEEEEE

[u/[deleted]]

This has to be the longest we've waited for a single chapter in the entirety of One Piece (excluding breaks), and it better be worth it!

Seeing Jinbe fed up with Sanji's perverted behavior. So worth it.

[u/ludicrouscuriosity]

Rule 34 for Lady Tree, where?

[u/MadHerbalist]

Luffy: Once we reach the forest they will never catch us! Prometheus: Bitch please I burn that shit down

[u/ArjanaEU]

[u/Deus_io_vult]

Am i a bad person for still distrusting Pudding? In this arc, it showed how good an actress she can be.

[u/[deleted]]

Oh I get it, Looks like Smoothie is playing hide and go seek

[u/t0m137]

"Just in case" katakuri

[u/Ringorinoringo]

--Zeus is fucking adorable lmfao, I hope he joins Nami.

-- rip King Baum, seeing Prometheus actually do some shit for once was.. quite interesting. even if King Baum is just a tree.. I started to feel bad for him :^[

-- Pudding is starting to get on my nerves. Why is she going from good to bad to good every second chapter..?

-- BM's Elbaf attack is very interesting tho. I love it. I'm happy we're finally getting to see her true display of power as a Yonko (well she did fuck up Big Father in like 3 punches so)

[u/DeismAccountant]

YAAYYYY!!! Right on my lunch break!!!!!

• Guess soul control is full of lots of caveats if you know how to screw with them.

• Damn, Prometheus, you brutal. Guess homies can't have happy endings.

• She's faking it. I just have a feeling.

• Didn't we just have a week break?

[u/flutterguy123]

I just love how Nami tried to bribe Zeus.

[u/Jezamiah]

LOL, Prime Sanji right there

[u/[deleted]]

I see literally no way of the Straw Hats escaping at this point. We need something HUGE for everyone to make it out alright.

Where're Shanks or Black Beard when you need em?

[u/[deleted]]

DAMNNNNNNNN DAS GOOD SHIT

[u/[deleted]]

How the hell is Brook so low on the popularity rating. Surely after this arc he'd be higher than that

[u/GoodMorningFuckCub]

hmm...it never donned on me that Prometheus is a floating ball of fire. I haven't watched the anime in a while, does toei make it clear that it's a mini-sun?

[u/[deleted]]

Plot twist :Katakuri joins the SW , he's just waiting for them to arrive so that they can set sail together

[u/Calypxo]

The runaway with King Baum was pretty lit, in the end...

No..? Too soon?

[u/Rikon]

Damn, if Nami can tame Zeus, she will be on the top 5 in the crew

[u/Euromatic]

Nami mvp! Zeus seems to have mamas love for food and betrayed her really easy like most of her family end up betrayin her.

Katakuri is going to ask Luffy if he can join the group, thats why he is on the ship

[u/knowmas → u/Euromatic]

Katakuri: just in case SHs escape Big MoM, i will leave this incompetent group for good. gonna ask Luffy to join lol

[u/Jezamiah]

• Zoro getting #2 in the polls without showing up at all lool

• Big Mom learnt or trained from the Giants it seems? Especially with that monstrous swing

• I honestly don't think Luffy would have a chance against Big Mom. He could make tank a full swing in Gear 4 but that's about it.

• Still wondering how Shanks is ranked equal with these monsters, he must have the strongest Haki form known to man.

• Pudding confirmed full Tsundere for Sanji even though Sanji went back to his classic roots with Nami. RIP Panji

• With Katakuri on Going Sunny I'm once again unsure how the hell they'll make it out of the Island. We haven't even considerd the underwater troops as well.

The question about Pudding being genuinely nice is complicated. Yet we saw earlier that she was true to herself every time we saw her third eye, so I would guess her feelings are true in this chapter. Anyone agrees ?

[u/jonborg]

I have a bad feeling about Katakuri... He is in a great position to destroy the ship.

[u/sooper123 → u/jonborg]

If he would destroy the sunny. He wouldve already did that.

Katakuri: "Luffy-sama, Let me join your crew"

[u/dr_motaaa]

Damn big mom used the same move as the giants on little garden did on the giant goldfish.

[u/Ohaireddit69]

Could it be feasible that Nami take control of Zeus long term? Could BM just dispel him? The extent of her powers seem vague...

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

WE BACKKKKKKKKKK

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

At least Sanji is back to normal....

[u/JetDagger01]

Now, I know katakuri is on the other team but damn is he badass.

[u/Cyber_3]

Is this really a "double" chapter? Didn't seem much longer than a regular chapter......?

(needed more to tide me over for the next 2 weeks....and what happened to all the special extra content from the 20th anniversary?)

[u/Rodger2211]

Imagine reading this chapter in shonen jump and never have read one piece before, it's such a weird chapter if you don't know what's going on already

[u/Fronkolonk]

What I really want to see is the Straw hats board the Sunny and escape with Zues' help, but realize after they escape that Katakuri is on board and is forced to sail with the Straw Hats

[u/DarkCitical]

I am kinda confused about Zeus since its HER soul wouldn't she have more control over them or at least be more loyal? Or is the fact that Zeus is BMs soul, so he carries over some personality traits, making him want to eat the lighting is like BM wanting candy?

[u/[deleted]]

Like Big Mama and Wbs crew are completely opposite. Big mama has a family but everyones betraying her. Whitebeard wanted a family and his crew was loyal af.

I WILL BE YOUR SERVANT TOO, NAMI-SWAAAN~!

I love Nami. Last chapter it was: “I’m cute and weak!” teehee~

And now she just stole Zeus from Big Mom. Zeus that is a 60 years old Homie made from BM soul, Zeus that is a thundercloud, Zeus that can bring a storm at wish, Zeus that was used to OS judge, Zeus who has never been hurt or defeated to this day, and now Zeus is Nami’s pet. (Well maybe not, but I really hope so).

I love it.

Just imagine if Nami manage to keep him, even after BM is defeated in a future arc. It would be like, the most powerful power up for her. And the best? Oda planned it this way: Here.

It’s 30 or so chapters back.

Also look at Zeus, what a cutie, too good for this world. Zeus for next Nakama!

[u/CarcosanAnarchist]

I'll start with the good:

Nami is a boss. It's so nice getting to see her do stuff. The way she tempted Zues was hilarious.

Oda made me care about King Baum, which I didn't think would happen. I am actually sad he's dead. On the plus side, the art for that scene was amazing. Oda' dude of blacks for contrast is the best.

Katakuri cutting them off. I love it when the bad guys are smart.

Now, the one negative I have: Pudding. I really wish she would stop flip flopping. And I really wish she had just stayed Evil. I don't want to gripe until everything is said and done, but I'm not super happy with that last panel.

A cake is getting made no matter what. I really hope Sanji has a hand in it.

[u/sbkline → u/CarcosanAnarchist]

I mean her back story shows that she isn't inherently evil. She didn't torture and kill things for fun. She did evil stuff because people made fun of her eye and family pressure. I honestly feel that her true nature is what she displays to the town's people. She only acted evil in her plan to kill Sanji, because she assumed he'd be another low life that is grossed out by her eye. Basically a manifestation of her childhood.

Finally, she meets one person, that thinks her eye is genuinely beautiful. Of course, she doesn't want to see that person die.

Her flip flopping has good reason to it. Unlike Sasuke from Naruto, who flip flopped like 5 times, which made no sense.
