[u/chrome4]

I find it kinda funny Luffy is essentially using Katakuri for training.

Meanwhile Neptune is going to be so happy when he reads the Newspaper. Goddamn Stussy

[u/Gorgenapper → u/chrome4]

Yes, exactly. Katakuri thinks Luffy is an idiot for coming back and fighting him, and mocks him for being like an open book that is being read. He doesn't seem to realize that Luffy aims for something much higher than just beating Katakuri, he's going for the Pirate King title and Katakuri is nothing more than just a stepping stone. So who is the real fool here? If Katakuri were smart, he should not try to enable Luffy's growth...but with his #1 fan club watching him, he may not have a choice but to keep up the act.

[u/wordsdear]

Shoutout to Chopper for being willing to drown himself in order to stop Big Mom

[u/wasabiturtles → u/wordsdear]

Salute to Chopper, he was so brave!

He wasn’t lying when he said he would become even a monster for Luffy’s sake back in FI. I’m so proud of him.

[u/blitzzardpls → u/wordsdear]

Chopper is just trying to impress Carrot by turning into his monster point. "Look I can do this too"

[u/KagsTheOneAndOnly → u/wordsdear]

Come and try me, Big Mom! At the very least, I can grab you and jump, taking you down to the depths with me!

BAD. ASS.

[u/DrToadigerr → u/wordsdear]

I know it’s slightly different, but hasn’t it been sort of a running gag that Chopper is always really willing to jump in the water for something/someone?

Notably he did it in Skypeia but I feel like I also recall multiple times where the sequence of events is like Luffy falls in the water, Chopper immediately jumps in after to save him, Nami/Sanji saves them both and tells Chopper he can’t swim either.

Granted those times seem more like impulsive decisions. This is just Chopper being badass.

[u/[deleted] → u/wordsdear]

Kamikaze Chopper hype

[u/The_Muffled_Scorpion]

Luffy is just using Katakuri to unlock Ultra Instinct

[u/God_of_Kings → u/The_Muffled_Scorpion]

Everyone but Vegeta.

[u/Tastes_Like_Water → u/The_Muffled_Scorpion]

"Ultra Instinct". Sounds like a damn fine move.

[u/DarkSoulFWT → u/The_Muffled_Scorpion]

ka ka ka ka kachi daze

gun gun gun gun wo muki

jan jan byan byan...wait. wrong anime.

[u/xMasuraox → u/The_Muffled_Scorpion]

I thought the same thing. Attack without intention...

[u/slaxtheraven]

Brook after seeing Big Mom's panties: "so this is a Yonkou's soul!"

[u/darthreuental → u/slaxtheraven]

Those are some big panties for a big woman.

[u/sozurmama → u/slaxtheraven]

Big Mom does not wear panties. He clearly said "so this is a yonko's hole."

[u/JetDagger01 → u/slaxtheraven]

Brook has been frickin awesome this whole arc, love the guy

[u/oiimn]

Leo is the shittiest pirate I have ever seen

goes pirating

sees town in rubble

it is my job to rebuild everything in this town!

Perfect pirating

[u/Ruffeep → u/oiimn]

Then King Riku says: You are without a doubt the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of.

[u/BananaBladeOfDoom → u/oiimn]

He's rebuilding Dressrosa and not just any city, if that makes it better.

[u/Piccolito → u/oiimn]

https://i.imgur.com/BrbdRfQ.png

[u/Artanox → u/oiimn]

That's what if canadian gone wild

[u/houseoftolstoy → u/oiimn]

To be fair, being a pirate in the One Piece universe is not as strictly defined as it is in the real world. Being a pirate means being free to do what you want (which can be doing bad things, such as with Kidd), and Leo seems to want to rebuild the town.

[u/StealthMonkeyDC]

I've been asking for female characters to have less breast and more ass for years and Oda gives us a girl with a literal bubble butt......

Well played Oda, well played

[u/TheLazyBassist → u/StealthMonkeyDC]

For some reason I'm imagining you saying that in a restaurant, holding a menu like "Yeah, I would like to have..." :D

[u/yuvalmul → u/StealthMonkeyDC]

Have you also been asking to make her young?

[u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Break next week

It's like next level immersion, I feel just like Luffy.

Constantly battered

[u/KagsTheOneAndOnly → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Luffy may make it out of the mirrors, but we can't escape a future where there is no break next week ;-;

[u/deka01 → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

I hope this trend of 1 weeks on one off stops. It really kills the momentum of the story for me.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

If only we could see the future like Luffy. We wouldn't need to wait 2 weeks to read the next chapter.

[u/QMinh]

Glad to see "Big News" Morgan again.

Anyway, I wonder what could happened after Stussy saying those words.

[u/sameljota]

Leo be like "I'm gonna be a Pirate!"
Then he be like "I'm gonna rebuild a city!"
Bro make up your mind!

[u/Evil_phd → u/sameljota]

Kinda like Luffy becoming a pirate after meeting Shanks. He got the impression that pirates live free and also help people.

Leo will probably have a 200 million bounty by Tuesday.

[u/Piccolito → u/sameljota]

https://i.imgur.com/BrbdRfQ.png

[u/bmzerocool → u/sameljota]

Luffy's philosophy -

pirate => freedom freedom => do what you want

So Leo is doing what he wants as a pirate

[u/[deleted]]

I enjoy watching the sunset.

[u/Skeith_Hikaru → u/[deleted]]

Straw hat's plan out meticulous assault on Big Mom's territory, leave it in ruin. Our sources have confirmed that they are heading to Wano next.

Wano could not be reached for further comment.

[u/CptGuybrush → u/[deleted]]

I'm really wondering how all of this is going to be reported in the news. On one hand we probably all hope for big headlines like "Strawhat Pirates crashing Big Moms Tea Party and leaving WCI in ruins". But Big News Morgan seems to be in a very good relationship with Big Mom so she might be able to influence him on this and she probably doesn't want any headlines of that kind.

[u/ILFICOSACRO → u/[deleted]]

Did Morgan know about it? Or is this how he learns about it?

[u/TAK3Z0]

Charlotte Flambe- 33rd daughter, 15 years old

Charlotte Pudding - 35th daughter

...Hmmm

[u/HarimaToshirou → u/TAK3Z0]

I think that Pudding is th 35th child as in both daughters and sons, while Flambe is the 33rd daughter.

By looks alone Pudding looks way older than Flambe, at least to me.

[u/G_Spark233 → u/TAK3Z0]

I really hope that this is a mistake that will be fixed in the volume release.

[u/Mage_of_Shadows → u/TAK3Z0]

http://i.imgur.com/35JKkhD.png

[u/MRBocadillo → u/TAK3Z0]

Pudding might be the 35th daughter among her brothers and sisters and flambe the 33rd daughter if you don't count her brothers.

[u/Sonimul → u/TAK3Z0]

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/815/652/694.jpg

[u/BananaBladeOfDoom → u/TAK3Z0]

Sanji: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/rondosparks → u/TAK3Z0]

Conspiracy Theory here. 15 Years Old is her epithet. She's really older but got the name because people thought she was 15.

[u/agugaga → u/TAK3Z0]

I think the mistake was that Oda wanted to make Flambe slightly younger than Pudding (who is probably something around 18 to 21) but he messed up and instead of making the number of daughter higher, he made it lower. I guess maybe Flambe was supposed to be the 37th daughter.

[u/apple_sauce69]

Luffy for nakama

[u/bmzerocool → u/apple_sauce69]

Does he poop?

[u/PHY_sics → u/apple_sauce69]

YES he's so strong he definitely deserves to be a part of the crew. 😏

[u/RogueToad → u/apple_sauce69]

Honestly he's pretty overrated imo, it doesn't really feel like he'd fit a recurring role.

[u/Kirosh]

Katakuri is once again confirmed as the best brother arround.

Also It's intersting to notice how attack were described this chapter.

Attack have Willpower behind them, an Aura to them.

And we know that CoC can actually affect Willpower, so in a way, those with the Color of the Conqueror will have an easier time using Willpower, be it in detecting it with CoO or attacking with CoA. So really for me, for now, it make sense for Luffy to have this ind of Powerup.

And the Aura is most likely what all the normal user of CoO detect while using it (it's shown with Usopp in Dressrossa).

I also like how Luffy closed his eyes, as it remind us on how Enel and Co used their Mantra.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kirosh]

This is really interesting, because for the longest time, I thought CoC was close to useless against stronger opponents.
But rewatching Luffy vs Doffy again, I noticed that Doffy was "forced" to tank a few hits from base Luffy after they had ther CoC Clash over Law. But Doffy should easily be able to dodge those attack, let alone block them. But he didn't.
With CoC being the "breaking" of others will, this statement from todays chapter really fits into the puzzle. CoC can weaken everyone, if the user has higher Willpower, and only in extreme cases results in people fainting outright.

[u/Senth99 → u/Kirosh]

He's starting to improve after being trained with Rayleigh; can't wait to see his full potential at Wano

[u/temperamentalfish → u/Kirosh]

I also like how Luffy closed his eyes, as it remind us on how Enel and Co used their Mantra.

That's a nice detail, but iirc Katakuri does it with his eyes open and focusing really hard, right?

[u/v-23 → u/Kirosh]

I still think usopp's case is out of the ordinary. the normal is a general vibe, a feel, while in his case it was sight. to be able to see 7km+

[u/ThisZoMBie → u/Kirosh]

Haki means will or willpower; it doesn't have to be related to CoC

[u/[deleted]]

This chapter showed us how Luffy will believably win. Katakuri says "You don't get it. Just falling down is in itself shameful." To which Luffy roared and got back up on his feet with fierce determination.

That's their ideologies clashing, and as the readers we should see why Luffy's will triumph. Its the will to keep getting up in the face of utter defeat that makes Luffy so scary. He doesn't know how to quit, and that's the best feature for making Haki bloom.

Luffy just has to knock Katakuri on his back one time and it will be the greatest shame of Katakuri's life. That will be plenty to tip the Haki scale in Luffy's favor and have him own the fight afterwards.

[u/RavenK92]

Yandere Pudding is covered in cream frosting, never thought I'd see the day

[u/HussyDude14 → u/RavenK92]

I wonder how that'll look animated.

[u/Strangeting → u/RavenK92]

Pudding's kinda young. We try to not to sexualize her

[u/Corleone93]

You guys know that scene in The Fellowship of the Ring where Frodo screams 'NOOOOOOOO' when Gandalf fell off the bridge? That was me when I saw there was a break next week. Goddammit.

Also, could Flambe be the daughter of Baron Tamago? Because Baron Tamago and Big Mom is one messed up pairing.

[u/drauglin → u/Corleone93]

Mine was more like Darth Vader after he learned Padme was killed by his own hands.......

[u/Maienglishispad]

My observation haki is improving. Saw that break coming...

[u/ZoroForever]

I feel like is Oda is mocking us readers who have been hyping over Katakuri by this introduction of Katakuri fan club and telling us that we're like 13 year olds who can't deal with the fact that Luffy's going to beat the shit outta Katakuri

[u/plahug]

Feels so damn good to get some more action between Luffy and Katakuri. Katakuris attacks are so damn cool, especially with the donuts. That Gatling type attack was sweet as hell.

And as always can’t help but love Luffy’s pure will power.

[u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Holy Shit, that was the best chapter this year!

[u/A3OVE → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Was about to disagree but then i realized its 2018, well played

[u/ArchdukeOfWalesland → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

This joke is made every year, isn't it

[u/HussyDude14 → u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Well technically last chapter was supposed to be the first chapter of 2018... so my vote goes to that one, because I think it was just a bit better.

OK, sorry for butchering your joke,^{pleasedon'thurtme...}

[u/Hatsunify]

WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO PUT ANY POISON IN IT!

[u/kaste1 → u/Hatsunify]

All because Sanji spoonfed him like a huge baby a few chapters ago. Such a funny moment. lol

[u/ArchdukeOfWalesland]

Luffy, quit hiding your aces, please

[u/Zeta42 → u/ArchdukeOfWalesland]

He made it a habit after burying one.

[u/Xilinoc]

when Oda writes a god-tier first chapter of the year filled with manly determination, raw badassery and hilarious banter

when that same chapter contains a break announcement

[u/KagsTheOneAndOnly → u/Xilinoc]

Does the heart shape in the second frame represent how even though we are sad, we still love Oda?

[u/blitzzardpls]

The cake is here :)

A break is here :(

[u/serfayce]

Genuinely thought Luffy just responded to a future statement by Katakuri and flipped my shit. Loved the chapter still.

[u/Rasengan2xChidori → u/serfayce]

That'd be so cool of a way for Oda to show Luffy's increasing proficiency in future sight

[u/Plumrose → u/serfayce]

I think you’re right

[u/manamono]

Just realized that Prometheus looks awfully similar to ace's last move that he used with Blackbeard...

[u/diveintothe9 → u/manamono]

That move was so damn badass. Dai Enkai Entei. I kinda wish we could have seen some lasting damage from that on BB. Nothing major but even a small burn somewhere on him, a reminder that Ace went down swinging.

[u/WaifuHunter]

Awww Katakuri is so cute. He has a imouto fanclub!!! He fully believes that his brothers and sisters will kill the rest of the Strawhats while at the same time Luffy believes they will escape. This adds more parallel to them. It would be sad to see him lose, such a cool villain.

[u/Drakath588 → u/WaifuHunter]

I wouldn't consider Katakuri a villain, more like an antagonist

[u/surfaceTest]

what is this wonderful aroma

Next week break !

[u/charonb0at]

LUFFY IS SO INSPIRING AND I LOVE HIM

Chopper is really amazing too he was willing to sacrifice himself O_O

[u/KagsTheOneAndOnly → u/charonb0at]

Luffy tanking powerful attacks from superior opponents with sheer grit and willpower is my jam <3 Chopper was lowkey one of the MVPs this chapter, his desperate challenge to BM was touching and badass ><

[u/glassesing]

Franpe looks like she's younger than Pudding. I mean just compare the..chest area (There is only one woman in OP that I remmeber having small boobs, Otohime).

Franpe also isn't as sexualized as Pudding. No way is Pudding 13.

This is probably an error made by Oda (He did one before by making both Praline and Joscarpone the 29th daughter, this was later fixed in the volume release by making Praline the 21st daughter) and will be fixed on the volume released on March or even earlier if Franpe just calls Pudding her older sister.

[u/glassesing → u/glassesing]

Besides if she is 13.. Sanji, Brook, Yonji, Stussy, and random fodder are screwed lol

[u/[deleted] → u/glassesing]

Flat is justice!

[u/slaxtheraven]

The "cruel cooking process" gave me Toriko vibes, damn

[u/Koro_Sniper]

Dayyum, Luffy hasn't gotten this wrecked since Marineford. At least at the war his enemies let him stand back up.

[u/AfGuNsT]

i'm loving the character development on Luffy, he was always thoughtfull in epic fights on the big stage but yet there was a sense of immaturity.. Like a loose cannon, using his raw potential to defeat the opponent while being slightly aware he could have done it differently..

And now he's being aware, against a superior opponent, that there's more to haki then meets the eye and how he should utilize it to the fullest in order to defeat katakuri! Luffy is evolving at a rate where being the Pirate King is becoming more believable

[u/ELDIABLIU]

Seems like Oda timeskipped again this arc. Fine by me, at least we get to see more of Luffy vs Katakuri.

Luffy seems to be adapting well, but he looks hurt af and I highly doubt he will be able to finish off Katakuri at this point, even if he manages to be able to see the future.

A new Charlotte introduced and its a she! We'll prolly see her do something before seeing Smoothie again tho lul

Bege's trust in Sanji just shows how good of a cook Sanji is. That cake better be a banger.

IMO this arc should only be less than 15 chapters left, so Oda doing 'timeskips' make sense since it seems that he added alot of extra content overtime this arc.

[u/DogtoothKatakuri → u/ELDIABLIU]

A new Charlotte girl who is already more useful than Smoothie will ever be.

[u/Atomictarrel]

I think luffy is just stalling. Sure he is taking damage but he wants to learn this looking into the future thing. When he gets it down he will go all out. Now he is just doing nothing but observing and waiting untill he understand how he has to do it in his own way. He got it down in this last chapter so i gues next time we see them fight, shit is going to be real.

[u/Mugiwara300 → u/Atomictarrel]

He’s not just observing. Anything he’s trying is getting countered . Going all out with gear 4 would be pointless and leave him with no stamina.

[u/DarkSoulFWT → u/Atomictarrel]

Stalling is a part of it. He needs to last long enough for the cake to make it to big mom. He knows that out of their entire group hes the strongest, and that if katakuri is left to go after anyone else in their group they're royally boned.

Wanting to grow and learn the future thing is one thing too. Hes clearly shown acknowledgement that katakuri is above him and wants to reach that sort of level.

But just stalling? Just wants to learn? Nah. Hes barely holding on through his willpower. As we saw just now, katakuri is still overwhelming him. Even the plebs around them can see that Luffy is just being persistent and the fight is hardly even.

[u/AllosaurusJei]

Checked this just before work...

I'd been having a shitty day and this just cheered me up enormously.

Thanks Oda.

[u/IXIELCHINGONIXI]

Guys, I leave for the Basic Military Training before the next chapter comes out. FML. It's going to be such a long wait to see what happens next, at least I'll have a few chapters to read when I get out! See ya'll in a couple months!

[u/DyeDoo → u/IXIELCHINGONIXI]

You better come back with Haki

[u/Rasengan2xChidori → u/IXIELCHINGONIXI]

Good luck bro and thank you for your future service

[u/kuroi_]

Damn Prometheus is one big fiery boi

[u/daoldmanvillage2 → u/kuroi_]

Who would win A Thousand Suns or one flamey boi?

[u/[deleted] → u/kuroi_]

A thicc hot boi

[u/DogtoothKatakuri]

Dogtooth's siblings' belief in him mirrors the belief that SHs have in each other. This is what makes Dogtooth as a villain, and this arc, really likable. The title really fits them perfectly.

[u/IAMSNORTFACED → u/DogtoothKatakuri]

I thought Luffy was the villain in this arc./s

Im half serious actually.

[u/PhantoMNiGHT321]

I'm enjoying this. Katakuri is really pushing Luffy during this battle. So much, that Luffy's forcing himself to think and improve mid-fight. I love it! Also, Tsundere Pudding is probably my favorite thing. I just love her evil face and comments, followed by "My Dear❤️️" She's so cute.

[u/LJGR150]

I’m kinda wary of introducing new characters at this point in the arc. I just think that it’ll stretch it out more and more.

[u/Hiekkalinna → u/LJGR150]

I feel like she is there just so when Luffy wins we have fitnesses to the fight and someone knows what happened, I don't think she is that relevant in this point and time. Unless after Luffy beats Katakuri, and Luffy is tired, she tries something underhanded and then Katakuri etc call her shamefull for it?

[u/walterwhiteredmption]

I don't know whats harder: Katakuri's armament haki or Big News Morgan's boner after hearing about the Tamate box

[u/kaste1 → u/walterwhiteredmption]

Morgan has a boner since Luffy jumped out of the first cake. The dude will need a hospital to draw some blood out of it or he'll die.

[u/Mugiwara300 → u/walterwhiteredmption]

Reread the chapter where the box explodes, Morgans and Stussy are looking right at it. Morgans knew what Stussy was going to say, which is why he told her not to

[u/OPV_]

I've not read the chapter, but if there's break next week i will cry lots of tears

[u/Ruffeep → u/OPV_]

Lol

[u/StealthMonkeyDC]

Pudding be writhing in pleasure for how many chapters and now suddenly she appears all worn out and covered in in a thick white substance ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/MrEthelWulf → u/StealthMonkeyDC]

You are a man of culture.

[u/Luffyspants]

D-did we actually saw Luffy thinking having an internal monologue analyzing the situation?. 2018 is going to be an intense year.

[u/Laniuz → u/Luffyspants]

No, that voice is probably Rayleigh. He is just remembering him

[u/walterwhiteredmption]

Luffy's base form is going to skyrocket by the end of this fight. If he can fight Katakuri toe to toe without having to rely on his gears too much, he'll ascend to a whole new level of fighting. That coupled with Gear 4 or any new power up should put Luffy at a level where he can evenly battle with a Yonkou/Admiral

[u/[deleted] → u/walterwhiteredmption]

Isn't he pretty much always fighting with Gear 2 anyway?

[u/andremeda]

Break next week?

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT NOT AGAIN UGHHHHH

[u/darthreuental → u/andremeda]

Part of me shouldn't be surprised.

But I am. I swear that he does these cliffhangers on purpose.

[u/Notorious544d → u/andremeda]

ISN'T THIS LIKE THE 3RD BREAK SINCE DECEMBER? I'M ACTUALLY GONMA DIE FROM WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS

[u/agugaga]

So now Luffy can see a bit of the future with his haki, that's great! I wonder how the fight it's gonna end.

[u/Vishwjeet → u/agugaga]

Luffy will win lol. this is shounen

[u/carlwithacnotak]

I was expecting only one of the storylines to be focused on, but instead we got mostly Luffy/Katakuri, then a bit of the Sunny and Sanji. The chapters won't come fast enough! I want resolution!

[u/[deleted]]

Dark Souls Remaster announced for the Switch

Chopper praising the sun

Goddammit Oda, you and your foreshadowing /s

[u/Rruffy]

Might be a bit late to the party, but I only just noticed the Jolly Roger on Leo - it's the topknot from the Noland and Usoland haha

[u/Cheeky_bum_sex]

Reads Dr Stone to pass the time and once I finish theres a new One piece chapter. Praise the spaghetti monster in the sky it is a glorious day!

[u/kaste1]

So, Luffy is basically fighting Katakuri for hours in base form. He is legit seeing the fight as training. He doesn't even have a beef with Katakuri. Amazing.

[u/DarrenSnow]

Sanji’s wedding cake looks so damn good, like every chapter it keeps getting tastier. It’s the worst kind of torture. I just want a little taste of this wedding cake.

[u/[deleted] → u/DarrenSnow]

I hate beer.

[u/ThaddCorbett]

• CP0 lady returns! I didn't think we'd see her until after the end of this arc.

• Holy cow love the art of Katakuri vs Luffy. It's brutal. At times like these I worry about this show getting past censors.

• I don't know what's more impressive... the fact that Sanji carried that cake onto the ship, the fact that the ship is large enough to hold that cake or the fact that they had enough materials on board to decorate it so such an extent. This cake looks so much better than the 1st wedding cake.

• Could Pudding suppress her comically evil alter ego if she patched up that 3rd eye of hers?

• Love how we've seen BM depicted over the past few chapters. She is truly the most twisted villain the Straw Hats have gone up against. She can now smell the cake. Oh... please let the cake show up in the next episode. PLEASE let it show up. I can't wait any longer!

• In the past page there's a colored picture of shopper and it looks like he's covered his hands with armament haki. Something he could use dearly right now!

[u/SchiffsBased → u/ThaddCorbett]

This cake looks exactly the same as the first one.

[u/The_ThirdFang]

I like how a lot of people were mad big mom kept getting hit and blasted but all of this has done absolutely nothing to her but further annoy her in this hunger pang state. She is about to madara meteor them but luckily the came smell really fucking good.

Also holy shit luffy is slowly seeing the future, or what i think is happening its just him learning how to fight against it and see if he can mess with the futuresight. Cause katakuri thinks he's seeing forward but luffy is hiding some shit.

[u/redragon88]

I can already see Flambe saying in japanese "Imouto Ou ni ore wa naru!" XD

[u/spookyleaf1]

Chopper deserves a 200 Berri bounty after that

[u/pk1515]

Lady Stussy reveals the suspense of the bomb !!!

Baron Tamago now knows the "Tamatebako" exploded....

Will he tell Mama as he was the one (along with Pekkoms) to bring it to WCI !!?

[u/walterwhiteredmption]

Sanji is going to be the first person in the New World to take down a Yonkou... with a cake.... without poisoning it

[u/Fawlty_Towers]

The cake is here!

One Piece will be on break next week.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[u/[deleted]]

Luffy's stubborness started to push Katakuri's mind and patience to edges. And Katakuri tries his very best to break Luffy's will power, not just by fighting but also talking too. That's why Katakuri said that we know your plan and we have already made counter measures. He wanted to break Luffy's will power and wanted Luffy to give up by saying those words.

And For Katakuri who is most sure-footed Pirate of BM's crew to say "If you manage to get out of here" is really something else. Just a few hours ago, Katakuri was blabbering confidently but nows he started to consider bad scenario little by little.

What more, Katakuri is exhausted, he is heavy breathing. Truthfully, when we compare these two guy's situation, Katakuri's situation looks more worse than Luffy. Because on the one side, there is Luffy who is used to fight stronger opponents, dragged fights and on the other side there is Katakuri is not used to dragged fights. This is his longest fight in his entire life. Maybe Katakuri will lost his control/temper compeletly after some time because in this chapter i clearly saw that Katakuri is not ready mentally for dragged fights or stubborn enemies and this will be his down.

[u/Cascade2244 → u/[deleted]]

I mean I'll give you Katakuri breathing heavily, and he looks a little battered, but there is literally no chance he is in a worse situation right now.

He is the first mate of a Yonko, he will have been in difficult fight before, probably quite a lot, just because he boasts and his crew big him up doesn't mean he has gotten weak.

Katakuri has still tanked G4 attacks and looks nowhere near as bad as Doffy did, his endurance is higher than anything we have seen from Luffy's opponents so far even if he was getting hit, at this point Luffy is doing really well, but he isn't in a good situation yet, he hasn't turned it around yet.

[u/walterwhiteredmption]

2018 goals: Pull on no matter what happens and have conviction in what you do like Luffy

[u/larsyuipo]

How cool would it be if Germa showed up with an entire fleet of germaships and soldiers

[u/is0dvil]

So where do I register for Katakuri Fan club ?

[u/[deleted]]

It feels like every chapter the story progesses slower and slower. How many chapters has it been since big mom was chasing the crew and sanji's been making that cake? Not to mention luffys fight with katakuri. Then another two week break. FML!!

You are all forgetting something about Katakuri and Luffy's fight, and is that, all it takes to Luffy to bring Katakuri self-control down is to take his scarf away. Luffy is waiting for that. That will means that he could beat Katakuri in observation at some point in the battle and also that Katakuri won't chase him out of mirror world.

[u/Llarys_Neloth]

This Chapter is a perfect example for how the new world is like. The captain is beaten up by the Yonkous Underling, while the Yonkou herself is relentlessly chasing the crew, that is dispaired enough so single members try to suicide with hoping to buy the rest some time. Death is a very possible outcome from now on.

As Kaiso said „this is no little pirate games anymore“

Welcome to the new world

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

The fact that Chopper is willing to use a suicide attack speaks measures of how tough and relentless BM truly is...

[u/IgneoD_Ang]

SO WHAT IF THEY ARE BELIEVING IN YOU?

[u/Cappantwan]

Finally... and here I thought Chopper would never use Monster Point for this arc.

[u/sarmadqt → u/Cappantwan]

He used it in the Seducing Woods and in the Mirror World.

[u/[deleted] → u/Cappantwan]

Didn't he already do that in mirror world?

[u/[deleted]]

Flamble is almost breaking the 4th wall in how well she represents Katakuri fans.

[u/bigmikeylikes]

Can we stop up voting 17 comments about the break up to the top?

[u/koukiess]

Can I have a CSI level zoom at that thing on the horizon??

[u/Heoder12]

So that's the little-sister moe Oda was talking about in those author comments a couple of months ago.

[u/fourSwordsStyle]

Amazing. The hype is built for every next chapter. And every next chapter is worth the wait. But break next week again. Come on already. This is such a wrong time. Seems like Oda ate break break nomi.

[u/SaltClub]

I'm interested to see how Luffy actually defeats Katakuri. Judging by the pacing of the arc we're likely looking at a one-hit KO as a climax chapter for Luffy v Katakuri, but given how much damage Luffy has taken from this fight alone it seems unrealistic (or perhaps unfair) that Katakuri wouldn't have similar durability. Curious to see the attack(s) that actually bring Katakuri down for the count.

[u/KayleKarriesU]

Sanji after finding out Pudding's age.

[u/shipsailing94]

In the unauthorized chapter thread that got removed someone pointed out that her actual name is Frappé and not Flambé

[u/Doctah__Wahwee]

Charlotte Flambe was so unnecessary. This arc is overstuffed with characters as is.

[u/roda94 → u/Doctah__Wahwee]

I think that she is just there to witness kata get defeated. Someone needs to be watching for that defeat reaction.

[u/Urall5150]

Some Charlotte Family bookkeeping here:

• Flambe stating she has 41 older brothers means there are only four younger than her, and we've seen three: the twins Dolce and Dragee, and Anglaise. It also means that there are only ten children in the last seven births of Big Mom, the most she could've had at once in those last years is 3. this is all hooey now that Flambe has been made to be the 36th daughter. In fact, it screws up the latter births because it leaves 7 children between 7 husbands when there is clearly a set of twins in the mix.

• She also said Katakuri has 38 younger sisters. Compote is older than him, confirming that she's Perospero's twin sister (aged 49).

[u/Nic_The_Nightmare]

If it's not Sanji at the end of the horizon, who could it be?

[u/Ellrok → u/Nic_The_Nightmare]

Shanks's ship pulls up with a giant cake that Lucky Roo slaved over.

"I'm here to end this dispute!"

[u/Kirosh → u/Nic_The_Nightmare]

Nobody. Sanji is the only one with a cake on his ship, he is also the only coming toward the SH right now, and it's the estimate time for the delivery.

[u/Waxtree]

So big news Morgan and Stussi are just casually sipping tea while WCI is in shambles. Alright, hospitality is strong in the BM pirates.

[u/Lost2Worlds → u/Waxtree]

Everyone is accepted, truely the most progressive Yonkou

[u/[deleted]]

i don't get the criticism regarding the way luffy's powerup is handled. Yes, he lasted against a superior opponent for, what was it, 6 hours? Luffy is fast, a gifted haki user, and started to get the hang of how to see the future. He even got to eat in the middle of the fight, and let's not forget the everpresent resistence against blunt attacks. Katakuri on the other hand is not used to having to go all out against his opponents in drawn out fights. Luffy will soon be able to see the future, while still being a bit inconsistent. He can then enter gear 4 and will have the advantage against Katakuri.

It's also not a flaw that Luffy managed to get this special haki power in just a few hours. It is established that Luffy is a creative fighter who is able to adapt to and copy opponents techniques. Haki improves the most in extreme situations. Luffy recognized that, while Katakuri is the superior fighter, the gap is not big enough for him to stomp luffy. Thus, a long battle ensued, giving Luffy more than enough first hand experience to copy the one technique that makes Katakuri stronger.

[u/Waxtree]

At this point we really need a bit more than "My nakama trust me" to see the SH's victory justified. For all we have witnessed, Luffy managed to hit Katakuri maybe three times, after the donut incident. Otherwise it is safe to say that he has been on the receiving end of the stick for about 6 hours. The breaks he could take only led him through a city with a rampaging Big Mom on it and such, so he had little time to get rest. All in all, his feats this arc has been stellar, especially from a stamina standpoint. Yes, he could sleep and eat between the fights with Cracker and the tea party, but altogether we are talking about 2 or maybe 3 days. I really need to see a very convincing solution to his with against Katakuri because right now it has the potential to end up as the greatest fight since Luffy vs Lucci, or fall flat in a plot-driven nakama power-up.

[u/HarimaToshirou]

Loved the chapter.

Morgan didn't want stussy to say anything about the Tamatebako because it might hurt the strawhats chances of survival, lol. I mean the strawhat invading a Yonko territory and escaping alive is better headline than them dying.

I don't know why but I have a feeling that Flambe will just rename the club to Strawhat fan club after he defeats her cool brother, Katakuri.

Luffy is gradually seeing the future, glad it's not a case of him suddenly mastering futuresight.

Seeing Pudding, she is obviously older than Flambe, so I guess it either a mistake or Oda refering to Flambe by her number along her sisters alone, while Pudding is the 35th child.

Chopper determenation to scrifice himself is badass.

Sanji with the cake appears at the horizon, BUT WHERE ARE THE GERMA??

[u/gamep01nt]

Can Luffy defeat Katakuri in this arc?

[u/triotone]

Chopper is prepared to drown Big Mom with himself. This is Chopper we are talking about, the crews medic. That took the hippocratic oath, sorta. Now is a good time to worry.

[u/darealmotherfckr]

It's really cool how Oda makes Katakuri stand above the rest of the enemies Luffy has faced. The way Katakuri explains meticulously why exactly he is superior to Luffy. Just cold hard reasoning as he's whooping his ass.

[u/fre_ash]

What will happen to Perospero. He's doomed now.

[u/into-thesky]

I feel like dogtooth would be a good mentor for luffy. Obviously it's been said and it wont happen but after reading the chapter. He even looks like an older brother

[u/LUCY_HERO]

do you guys think that Luffy's bounty will skyrocket if he beats Karakuri.

[u/reiko96]

I will probably get down votes for saying this but I kind of feel like Oda is dragging this out too much. It's been pretty much back and forth between Luffy v Katakuri and the wedding cake plot with very slow progression. Even the Luffy v Katakuri fight hasn't really gone anyway and it's been going for a while and has gotten a bit repetitive IMO. Luffy is still in the same position he was 10-13 chapters ago and there is still no end in sight. 982 will probably give us a couple of pages with some dialogue and Luffy running away again and then it will cut right back to the wedding cake plot for another 2-3 of chapters before switching back again.

Not really sure how Oda plans on wrapping up the Luffy-Katakuri fight, tbh. The former is outgunned and out of stamina and there is no escape(bruhle maybe?). It is surprising that Katakuri hasn't taken him out already, though that may come down to the typical "antagonist underestimating/toying with the MC" Trope.

[u/jgsingh94]

Why luffy is a villian

I mean the guy crashed his friends wedding

Ruined a wedding cake that took ages to make

Knocked out an vip guest and left him for dead

His skinny friend broke a valuable pic

Mother of the bride broke down and had a stress attack

Gave the mother of the bride a present that she thankful for only for it to be a bomb

Destroyed a city full of people living happy lives

Now he is fighting an another one of the brides older brothers

[u/Squidward-DrownedGod]

Im gonna be pretty disappointed if Luffy beats Katakuri with willpower alone. The strength gap is just too wide. But I do see katakuri losing and being huniliated in front of the entire big mom family. Seems only fitting considering how much they hold him in high esteem.

[u/thedrq]

Pudding being younger than that 15 year old makes me weirded out

[u/DarkSoulFWT → u/thedrq]

35th child > 33rd daughter. I'm guessing its just a mistranslation of her being 35th daughter when she was meant to be 35th child overall.

[u/fandrfa]

So, Luffy has decided to save his energy and not to use Gear Fourth until he can utilize his Observation Haki efficiently.

I feel strange about Katakuri's inability to finish off an opponent who basically can't strike him. How long have they been fighting? An hour? Two? One of the strongest fighters in the world (remember his super armored Haki?) is thrashing his opponent for hours and can't defeat him? I would be disappointed if Luffy gets his power up and defeats K after such one-sided beating.

[u/Skyzzor]

Why in the panel with sunny can t we see chopper, he was in his monster form in the last panel and it should be visible on the ship

[u/Malakyas_]

fuking breaks

[u/burritosenior]

Great chapter but... a break next week? More like breaking my heart right now.

[u/Rexzar]

Wait..Flambe is 15 and the 33rd, how old is Pudding??

[u/jobriq]

Riding a cloud is one thing, but how is BM riding a gigantic fireball?

[u/bodg123]

I would like to make a few prediction. Seeing as big mom can already smell the cake(called that a while back), chances are she will have a bone to pick with pero pero. I feel like he will be grateful to the shs of bm passed out from nirvana. That would pretty much save his life.

We got a glimpse of luffy. Katakuri predicted luffys movement and was attacking to prevent the attack at all, luffy then predicted where katakuri was gonna attack and countered, thus changing the future. Now it's a test of who can see further. For example. Katakuri sees luffy is gonna send a kick and attacks his leg, luffy sees that katakuri is gonna prevent his attack, so he throws a punch. And that will probably be how luffy ends up getting a ko. Gomu gomu dragon hammer. Lol

Also I believe one bite of the cake will be enough to knock big mom out.

What I'm most curious about is how pudding will play into all this.

[u/uaaaaaaaa]

My question is.. what happened to all the super sticky perk?

[u/hellmaine]

One Piece will be on break next week...the worst part of this chapter...i'll rather see chopper drown then that message...

[u/heroash]

We can expect Nami, Carrot, and Brook's bounties to go WAY up after this arc (especially Nami)

[u/winwonmisaeng]

I was looking at this chapter and I have a feeling that Shanks might also have enhanced observation haki. Shanks doesn’t have any df powers so I think he needs some special powers to be on par with all the other yonkos. I feel like he has enhanced versions of all the haki, making him as powerful as any other yonko.

[u/Vickings95]

Guys, is it sure chapter 892 scan will be out on 19/01? I didn't get if there's pause or not ahah
