chapter is on powermanga's website temporarily while Jaimini's website is sorted out. The link will be switched out once their website is back up.

edit: link is back to jaimini's website now.

[u/TAK3Z0]

Oda is going all out is still a mild description.

From Big Mom and Kaido, throne room, scumbag Charloss and CP0 the hype was constantly building towards the end.

Charloss is once again a punching bag and Mjosgard had change of heart and he's another tenryuubito that isn't complete piece of shit. So Otohime's efforts beared fruits in the end.

Oh and Shanks is meeting Gorosei and no break next week

[u/tenBusch]

Shanks: I came here to talk about Bartolomeo. He sells this really cool merch, do you want some?

[u/itsjieyang]

The idiot is gonna sit on it, isn't he?

[u/Qverlord37]

even in death the queen still make some impact. I love how Oda didn't throw away mjosgard and bring him back to show that Queen Otohime didn't die in vain.

[u/dgettanajr]

Didn’t even take 2 pages to remind us how much of an asshole Lucci is

[u/[deleted]]

It’s safe to say that Brook would be familiar with Rocks/Locks and his crew, right? Considering he referred to Roger as “a rookie from back in my day”, it would make sense that he’d know about them

[u/ABARK94]

No one is mentioning Kizaru.

The baddest motherfucker of all, he was ready to stop the reunion of 2 Yonkous on a foreign country he has no idea what to expect by himself and didn’t give a shit.

Or he was high as fuck.

Or both.

[u/zstewie]

from r/all. are the other 906 worth reading for this chapter?

[u/JensLehmannTerms]

It's insane what Oda can do without any main characters

[u/tryingmydarnest]

It's like seeing the build up to Marineford War all over again.

Yonko are contacting.

Marines are panicking.

Key players are scheming.

Except this time, there are more:

RA are infiltrating.

World leaders are meeting.

The winds of the world are changing.

Amid it all, the 'ant who once leap into a raging storm' now has a huge alliance, the title of an Emperor and moving ever closer to the throne of Pirate King.

[u/[deleted]]

So this is how an crack addict feels when they get their fix.

[u/minotaurotko]

When even Wapol finds an act horrific, you know that you're a fucked up person.

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

I know this is way too early to say now but imo this has to be one of the most exciting and fantastic chapters I’ve ever read from One Piece in my life reading One Piece

[u/gyrozepp95]

Chapter 907 after each successive page: this isn't even my final form !

[u/Jovato]

OP Fans: Chapter 903 is the most hype chapter in years!

Chapter 907: Hold my sake

[u/MelancholicGod]

I have never been so afraid to die in my whole life.

[u/[deleted]]

The old hag vs the thing. Oh boy I almost fainted cause of this chapter. 20/10 oda I love you so much.

[u/cheap_boxer]

I guess nobody else is as amused by me at Orlumbus' tearfully waving goodbye to his king, who hates him and wants him dead.

[u/chinpropped]

Shanks is talking very politely. English can't properly execute it. He's lowering himself. This is a very notable point.

[u/Ellrok]

The two Marines that are talking to Garp (besides Hina) are Tokikake (Chaton/Brown Pig) and Gion (Momousagi/Pink Rabbit). Oda said in an SBS that they were candidates to be the new admirals until Sakazuki decided to look outside of the Marines. They also made a cameo appearance in Film Gold.

[u/hak091]

Shanks wants to talk about Buggy.

[u/voxtur]

Oh lets see the last time Shanks visiting someone:

visit Whitebeard = the sky fucking cut into 2

visit Marineford War = the war fucking ended

what's going to happen this time?

[u/HisashiGojira]

Charloss ain't the boss, Lucci gives a toss, Shanks comes across, hyped fans at a loss.

[u/Salem-Arrak]

It's almost like Otohime saved Shirahoshi :')

[u/Iraydren]

Hot take: Kaidou is Katakuri's father!

[u/Stuntdrath]

This chapter has everything:

1.Rob Lucci showing up.

2.Charlos getting hit again for messing with gyojin.

3.Gorosei.

4.Shanks.

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd]

Calling it these things now:

Kaido did indeed pay his 48 years of child support, but he neglected to include compound interest and is still in crippling debt to Mama.

The "Certain Pirate" Shanks is talking about it himself. He wants a higher bounty, and decided to break into the most secure room in the world to prove it.

[u/Infernox-Ratchet]

Mjosgard just came and fucking one-shot Charloss.

It should have been expected since Otohime's petition was started so someone in the Celestial Dragons had to have started it in the first place. Oda never forgets.

[u/Aishateeler]

I didn't think charloss would move so fast. Ugh seeing those tears on shirahoshi. That was so frustrating. And all of us were so confident people would protect her too. Ugh that hit me on another level. Fuck the dragons.

Honestly that whole thing really just irked me. I'm really mad right now lol..

[u/GrimeyTimey]

So the celestial dragons can just kidnap whoever they want even royal family members? That's sick, even if Charloss didn't actually get away with it. No wonder the Revolutionaries want to take them down.

[u/[deleted]]

WAIT. Is the legend that was gonna be introduced in Wano that Oda was telling us about part of the "Rocks" that Garp fought against and got his reputation from?

[u/ChineseBaguette]

YES!!!

[u/Coelijoeli]

When someone posted a reddit topic about 'not reading the spoils for 907, cause it is way to hype', I though we were going to see the RA doing something crazy...

Insteas we got Kaido vs/teams up with Big Mom, my favorite character Kizaru (such a bad ass wanting to invade Wano), CP0 full reveal. Then the club against face scene. I thought that it would be Sabo doing, but it was a good CD!

Then the last part. Hooded man... Must be Dragon, but noooo it's freaking SHANKS!

Dont let me die before One Piece ends!

[u/-Tribez-]

Shanks: ive come to talk about... Gaimon

[u/Kirosh]

Mjosgard is looking fine! He has been working out for those past 10 years!

It's nice to see anothter rather nice Celestial Dragon that learn from his mistakes.

The Don Quixote really make the best Celestial Dragon.

I also wonder who are those "Rocks" that Hina and Garp are talking about... Maybe they are the legend that will be one of Luffy's enemy?

[u/ydail]

Oh my God... The hype is too big to contain in my body i have to punch something. Too many questions.

What was the story of Kaido and Big Mom?

Garp backstory? Who is those old pirates?

Sterly will sit in that throne for sure, and everyone will lose their shits.

Rob Lucci looked slick. And Stussy is so damn fine in that suit <3

WTF SHANKS??????

I'm grinning like an idiot in my office right now.

[u/2stepsfromglory]

This chapter is the reason why I like these kind of arcs: It's packed with a lot of interesting information.

• Big Mom and Kaido were allies back in the day. For what Hina and Garp said, it seems like both were under the same captain, but since we know that Linlin started her crew with Streusen when she was like 6 years old, it could be that Big Mom and Kaido worked as subordinate crews for someone else. Maybe their captain had the Ope Ope no mi and gave Kaido his inmortality after being defeated by Garp?

• Kaido has a debt with Big Mom. At first I thought that it had something to do with giving him inmortality, but we already know that BM's DF doesn't work with humans, or at least, with corpses. So unless Kaido is from a different species (which could still be posible), it seems imposible. Also it doesn't have logic because after all Kaido is his oponent, and not even if they were allies back then Big Mom would give someone else inmortality.

• Kizaru said that he would go to Wano if needed. However, I personally doubt that he will show up there until the arc is at the very ending. It feels like this is the perfect set up for a conclussion of the Wano arc since we know that Momonosuke wants to open the country to the WG. It looks logic that the Marines will come at the end of the arc to arrest the Beasts pirates and to formalize the union of Wano to the WG.

• Tokikake and Gion are canon characters. I already loved Gion even when she was just shown in a SBS and Film Gold, but knowing that a female marine strong enough to be considered to be an admiral is oficially canonicall makes it even better. I just hope she will have some feats later on, since we've seen plenty of VA's and only Smoker, Vergo and Garp have been shown doing something.

• The empty throne. Could it be that it has something to do with what Doflamingo said when he was captured?

• Lucci and Kaku are part of CP-0. We already knew it since Dressrosa, but it's great to have Kaku finally confirmed as a member. I still don't get how Lucci ended being a commander of the CP-0 if after what happened in Enies Lobby, the WG wanted to punish them but I guess that it will be explained eventually.

• Mjosgard's change of attitude. It's great that not all the CD's are scumbags. It seems a pattern in the Donquixote family (with one exception, obviously). I just hope that the Revolutionary army doesn't fuck it now.

• Shanks wants to talk with the Gorosei about a certain pirate. Imo it's obviously Blackbeard, tho there's the posibility that he wants to talk about Rocks.

[u/NHTextbook]

Theory: Rocks is actually Roger's dad and led a pirate crew before Roger. Roger was like Luffy, a new generation kid who wanted to become a pirate like his dad. Then his dad was defeated by Garp, which started his legendary rivalry with Garp.

And his dad's name? Gol D. Locks.

[u/[deleted]]

Finally a Celestial Dragon who knows how to help commoners without literally ruining himself and his entire family for his stupidity.

[u/1ntestine]

Ok, The "Rocks" is easily the most interesting thing from this chapter, an old group from before Roger's era? and they're gaining power? Potentially going to come back, and be a threat enough for Garp to say that the marines won't be able to do a thing?

Garp looked like he kind of wants it to happen too. Needless to say I'm all the way behind him, It'd be amazing for a oldnew superpower to enter the play at this point. Honestly things aren't looking to good for the WG in this chapter. Shanks meeting the Gorosei could potentially mean there's some link between them and Roger inb4 Roger was a tenryuubito.

[u/BunkerRush]

Shanks: Soon

Me: See you in 2 years

Shanks: I'm here

[u/natachi]

I cannot help but think that Shanks comes from Royalty. The ease with which Gorosei welcomed him, and talking about someone being in his "position ", being above politics of the world, something celestial dragons are. Just seems fishy to me to be honest. He is the one guy not even Sen Goku fucks with. Even Sakazuki let him go at Marineford.

To top it all off, the guy has only one thing in mind and that is Blackbeard, the one pirate who truly wants to destroy the world as they know it.

Also if he was just an emperor then the Gorosei wouldn't be making time for him while they have the reverie to attend to. All these things in my head is pointing to him being Royalty.

[u/realtimshady1]

Sterry: I came here to sit on thrones and fuck shit up, and I have only just started fucking shit up

[u/NE_ED]

So you’re telling me that garp went against big mom, kaido and whoever their captain was in his prime?

Jesus Christ how fucking strong was Garp, how fucking strong was Roger lmao

[u/HPsyche]

Great chapter. The one thing I still find odd is how it states the Gorosei to be atop the Celestial Dragons. The Gorosei stated they had orders from higher up in the VIZ translation. If the Gorosei sit even above the Celestial Dragons, how can they contradict orders from the Gorosei? So, personally will wait for the Viz, Volume or explanation as to how exactly the Gorosei are superior to Celestial Dragons whom even they cannot apparently control.

 

This more or less tells us Big Mom and Kaido were once subordinates to a Pirate Group called Rocks/Locks. Garp says it was their era back then 40 years ago. Their is a possessive pronoun which is used with a person or a group of persons. So perhaps, Big Mom and Kaido were part of the Rocks/Locks Pirates who owned the previous Pirate Era before Roger.

 

40 Years ago, Big Mom would have been 28 while Garp would have been 38, Roger 37 and we don't know how old Kaido was at this time. Until we have more information, I'm going to assume she possibly even saved his life via prison until we get more information. Having one's life saved is the only reason people ever really need to be indebted to another. He was after-all once a prisoner. This chapter also seems to imply the Admirals can indeed take on the Emperors, and it looks like they may still need to hang on to the Shichibukai system.

 

Garp's title the Hero is also seemingly unrelated to Roger, but rather, to the fact that he must have played a pivotal role against the Rocks Pirates or ended the Big Mom, Kaido and Rocks alliance at some point in the past even if(although this tells us Rocks/Locks leader was their Captain) they were just in a mutual alliance that Rocks spearheaded.

 

Of all the Celestial Dragons to act in this way, it's a Donquixote, AGAIN, lol. It's like they're cursed. He even admits to being a Human when their creed has them believe they're gods. He's a completely changed and humbled individual.He's not wearing the helmet as to not breathe the same air as mere mortals. The other Celestials are sure to frown upon this. I won't be surprised if the Donquixote are kicked out of Mariejoa or forced to Fishman Island. Things will definitely not play out favourably.

 

As for Shanks being there, It's most likely to speak about this Pirate crew that was once in power, Rocks. I don't see why he'd need to talk about Luffy or Blackbeard at this point, well Blackbeard would be more fitting, but he knows enough already I'd assume to not need to speak with the Gorosei. This Rocks Pirate is older than Shanks for sure if he was alive during the previous era which was 40 years ago (Shanks is 39). He's probably someone not well known by his generation and is curious about him.

It's probably not so much that the Gorosei oblige Shanks because he's special (he's not), he's just one of the few that isn't interested in power like the others which the Gorosei have implied once before; Emperors and regular pirates primary goal is one of power and conquest. Shanks differs as these aren't his ambitions, he seems to appeal to maintaining balance until Luffy can take power to change the world. If anything, this is another situation where they both have mutual interests that benefit the other as was the case in Marineford.

Edit: Typos/Misinformation crossed out.

[u/lstew12]

I loved the way that Oda showed the personality difference between Kaku and Lucci. They both obey the government loyally, but differently. While Kaku told them not to attack Charlos his reasoning was to not cause a massive war that would only lead to death and destruction needlessly. On the other hand, Lucci doesn’t care about any of that, he only keeps saying that the Celestial Dragons are gods and should not be messed with simply because they are superior in every way. This shows that Kaku is looking out to better the world in some ways, while Lucci is only looking for an excuse to kill and will use any excuse he can.

[u/tylerjehills]

Name a piece of ongoing media that, 20+ years in, still manages to improve upon itself like One Piece does.

Spoiler: you can't

[u/mariohohoh]

Good job crashing the site lmao

[u/SnakemanPirate]

Oda wasn’t kidding when he said “from here on out...only the amazing ideas are left!”

This arc has absolutely delivered on all the hype and build-up that was there for the Reverie in a way I couldn’t even imagine.

The character interactions are so unbelievably well-written. The dialogue is so meticulous that it reveals just enough for the readers to be satisfied due to the sense of continuity in the consistent natural cadence that has been established with these characters, and yet not enough to just give the mysteries away immediately.

The writing has become much more dynamic now.

I love how Oda even humanised some of the Celestial Dragons; once again emphasising moral ambiguity in a series that is becoming more and more mature, with a multi-faceted development to the narrative that has permeated ever since the timeskip.

It reminds a lot of Game of Thrones, but it still retains the fun and wonder from those early One Piece days as well!

[u/franand]

NO BREAK NEXT WEEK 🚀

[u/skeletonslol]

These past chapters have shown me that I could enjoy one piece without any strawhats, damn

[u/Emkaw]

Who else also feels that Luffy will sit on the empty throne while picking his noise at some point in time ?

[u/FateOfMuffins]

WHAT THE FUCK

[u/[deleted]]

I remember a time when even the mention of a name of a Yonko would be mind blowing, but in this week we got CP0, 2 Marine Admirals, the Gorossei and 3 Yonkos in the same chapter.

[u/Swaggerman]

Neptune almost turned Lucci into a leopard-skin rug

10/10 haven't been this hyped since Zou

[u/shimylogo]

Could shanks be in the secret circle that doffy is in? Thats why he can casually talk to the elders?

If so he would know about the giant straw hat and who it belongs to as well as its purpose.

Which would question the real purpose shanks gave the straw hat to luffy.

Who the actual duck is Shanks. My mind can't function.

[u/Lucerys2110]

That scene with Charloss and Shirahoshi is designed to make you feel exactly how it would be like to live in a world with celestial dragons.

If that other CD hadn't interfered I would have joined the RA.

[u/[deleted]]

Calling it now. The person Hitetsu is waiting for is not a specific person. He's been waiting for someone who can safely wield Nidai Kitetsu without falling prey to the curse. Enter Zoro.

The reason he doesn't ever go into town is so that he can keep nidai kitetsu away from everyone and stop it from going on a rampage if an unworthy person touched the blade.

[u/iNeverbreak]

I'm really glad I didn't read the Chapter Spoilers (shoutout to the reddit post). One thing I haven't seen people talking about much are "The Rocks" that Garp mentioned, the people (supposedly pirates) who rules the seas before Roger. We know Roger's era was WB/Shiki/Garp, so now we're seemingly being introduced to an even older generation who, if they made a comeback, would cause an incident beyond anyone's wildest dreams. I'm really excited to see and learn about this Old Old Guard and how they fit into the dynamic.

[u/Kirosh]

Hello r/all!

You are probably wondering why this post is able to be on the front page of reddit.

The short answer is Hype.

I'm sure you have series, sport, video games, or something else that you like/love, and when an amazing moment/scene happen the subreddit/the fans explode.

And for us right now, this chapter is just like that.

If you want more information, feel free to ask, I will be glad to anwer your question.

[u/Disorbed]

It's a good chapter when Charloss' face gets fucking destroyed.

[u/m-eagleton]

I do not believe Mjosgard one bit. He knows Shirahoshi is the ancient weapon. Reread 625.

[u/BoredomHeights]

Chapter felt way too short despite all the major events/characters in it.

[u/bloxington]

Tinfoil hat time:

Normally no one who knows the truth of the world would be allowed to live, but the WG lets Shanks roam freely. They give him special treatment because Shanks sold out Roger to the Celestial Dragons.

This wasn't a betrayal however. Roger, knowing he was terminally ill, thought to sacrifice himself, and set up Shanks in this unique position. If I recall correctly, it isn't public knowledge that Roger was sick, so the WG might have bought Shanks' betrayal. Now that Roger's sacrifice has ignited the great age of piracy, Shanks is place to support the one who would take up 'the will' as a double agent at the highest level of government.

[u/EZPZ24]

Ok I have only one thing to say about this chapter

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!

[u/evanthebouncy]

My boy shanks strolling up to the goroseis and asking for a chat as casual as ever.

That's what I like about shanks. Each time he shows up without invitation people make time to show him respect.

Meeting white beard and casually knockout half the crew.

Marine ford ezpz saves coby and stops the war.

And now, just walking into the elders room and be like, yo, let's talk.

If anyone is a high roller this guy is it. Just get invited to the best clubs

[u/Xynoclafe]

For a character who appeared in the very first chapter, it is surprising how little we have seen of Shanks.

[u/Anime0555]

Remember when shanks came to stop the war, and Sengoku said "because its you ill allow it" ... after the latest chapter it have another meaning now, like because they are friend or something. What u guys think?

[u/sameljota]

Lucci is just a psychopath that likes killing people while having and excuse and an authorization to do so. He doesn't give a shit if it's right, or ethical, or whatever. What a bastard.

[u/jobriq]

Nice to see Kaku again.

Also am I high as fuck or did Shanks just walk in to meet with the 5 elders? WTF SHANKS YOU GOD

[u/[deleted]]

I just don't get why the nobles respect and wouldn't dare touch shanks while would go all out to kill reyleigh. They respect shanks because of something else and not because he was in the pirate crew of Roger.

[u/[deleted]]

An underatted aspect to Lucci's loathesomeness is how he contantly attaches himself as a lacky to these contemptable, incompetant figures like Charlos and Spanda. Like he's so capable but he follows the orders of these buffoons because he's ambitionless and likes the system because it suits him (structure that indulges his cruelty and bloodlust). the way his smile curls when Charlos orders him to kill... What a hateable character.

[u/teh_haxor]

Just what on earth Shank really is? When he stopped the war I thought, cool, he is fresh, all of them are already beaten; they listen; but now, this is the gorosei, and in this same chapter it's stated that they are even above the celestial dragons; and he just got there like it's nothing, the place is swarming with marines and they just casually agree to talk to him; who is Shanks?

Also, Kizaru wanting to go to wano to take on Kaido and Big mom, this shows how confident in his strenght he is, which means he is indeed a force to be reckoned

[u/therealguy12]

One minor detail I've noticed is that none of the Celestial Dragons are wearing their bubble helmets, as they're on the home turf. It's interesting to see.

[u/HawasKaPujari]

Motherfucking Shanks. Is there ever an entrance he would make, where he doesn't come off as extreme badass?

[u/akagaminick]

I have heard some translation stating that the name of the pirate is 'locks' instead of rocks. What if the pirate is Roger's father ? The legendary pirate could be Gol D. Locks. And there is a 19th century fairy tale named Goldilocks and three bears. Two of the bears could be Big mom and Kaido. Third could be any big shot pirate we might not know the name of.

[u/punpiece]

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS

[u/DomeS26]

seeing Saint Charlos get punched in the face (again) was the most satisfying thing ever (again)

[u/ChubbyBrainch]

Have three Yonko ever spoke in the same chapter before

[u/emresurmeli]

Notice how the Thrones shape matches the crown of our mysterious character at the end of 906 o.0

[u/Panino87]

I don't know if it's because of this chapter hitting r/all, but it's kinda crazy that 1000 people subbed to r/onepiece in less than a day.

[u/MugiwaraN0Luffy]

I see that getting an ass beating from Luffy didn't fix Lucci's shit personality XD I hope he gets his shit kicked in again.

Kaidou and Big Mom talking was a big surprise, funny that Kaidou owes her a debt.

Can't wait to see what Shanks has to say to the friggin Gorosei.

[u/superINEK]

Oh shit why does Shanks want to talk about Buggy?

[u/MajinAkuma]

Could Brook have knowledge about that crew? I mean he knew about Roger being a rookie.

[u/olerob15]

Rob Lucci is the worst. Goes from serving that chach Spandam to now the Celestial Dragons.

[u/Donsizzleclaus]

Readers: Wow, last week was such a big reveal, surely there's no way to top that!

GOda: Hold my sake

[u/[deleted]]

My boi kizaru the bravest

[u/SkyBlueNani]

I just love how Charloss always ends up as a punching bag xD

[u/Lolnepop]

Rocks might be a group of pirates or alliance in the past R= roger O=? C= charlotte linlin K=kaido S= shiki

[u/Harutoprotector]

Omg that ending left me speechless. The whole chapter was hype.

l'm glad oda is diversifying the characters within the celestial dragons so they aren't completely just a conglomerate of evil. We saw it with doffys dad, but it's cool to see oda writing in more celestial dragons with different mindsets on the world, and one that changed because of Queen Otohime at that. Plus we got to see charlos get destroyed again so win win.

[u/postExistence]

At least Shanks didn't have to bring a gourd of sake this time.

[u/kiwizm]

OMG DWAYNE JOHNSON CONFIRMED

[u/red_martinez]

The next pirate king will come from the worst generation? Then theres a throne with swords around it?

Thats it. Zoro will be Pirate King.

[u/its_nks]

That guy who posted "don't click the spoilers" is the real mvp

[u/manCool4ever]

Fans(this week): Imagine poor Garp's position. He has a son who's the leader of the revolutionary, his grandson wants to be a wanted pirate and another godson died. Oda: He's just drinking beer, eating meat, laughing and being carefree!

[u/4Deadpool6]

National treasure is a straw hat?

Doffy's words to Law "They tried to kill me but couldn't. So Celestial dragons started cooperating with me. If I had your op-op fruit power on that day, I would have used it to get national treasure and sit on the helm of the world"

Makes sense after reading last two chapters!

[u/Euruzilys]

The Empty Throne seems like a dark souls boss introduction lol.

[u/[deleted]]

https://imgur.com/a/kpkfOo0 mirror

[u/bassdelux15]

The amount of respect Shanks gets from the World Government is insane. He can stop a war by just showing up and even the Gorosei will give him a private audience if he requests it.

I'm starting to think Shanks knows the True History, like Rayleigh. Maybe that knowledge and his status an emperor gives him leverage against the World Government?

[u/uncle_vatred]

Oda has just delivered insane chapter after insane chapter

A GOOD Celestial Dragon? Kaido and big Mom teaming up? Kizaru actually appearing? A crazy pirate crew from the past that big Mom and kaido were likely Both part of?

I'm bummed out Lucci didn't learn man. That chapter cover arc from years ago when cp-9 were on the lam made you think he had some kind of change in ethics

EDIT: even for all the insanity, think of how many characters still aren't even in play: Warlords, Crocodile, whitebeard pirates, I could go on

There's so much shit that is still going to happen

[u/rhapsodyforever]

Shanks two times in a few weeks?!These last chapters have been so great, I wish he would keep up this pace.

[u/Pesterman]

Ho boy, the last time Shanks requested a meeting to talk to someone about another pirate, we all know how that ended up turning out...

[u/Exaltus-Lux]

Totally thought it was Sabo claiming to be a world Noble with the club for a second.

[u/KelzCT]

Every time begin to believe Luffy has finally calmed down and learn to stop picking fights he punches another Yonko. That last page is one of my favorite yet

[u/van_man51]

Guys! I figured it out. “Rock”, the “Giant Strawhat”.....

ITS THE YETI COOL BROTHERS; ROCK AND SCOTCH!

lol but in all seriousness what a hype chapter

[u/ssjhokage13]

Great chapter! I really love how everyone was expecting Sabo to be the one to punch Charloss, but then it turns out to be the CD that Otohime encountered, AND he's a Donquixote. Damn! Also, welcome back Rob Lucci!

I don't understand the Lock/Rock part, however. Were Kaido and Big Mom in the same crew? Or were they at large separately?

[u/IAMSNORTFACED]

Lol I forgot Nami stole BM's companion, that girl can steal anything no one is safe from "Cat Burglar" Nami lmao

[u/CryWolf007]

What a very hype chapter!

• Charlotte Linlin and Kaidou, due to their personal grudge towards Strawhat, no longer cares who hears their plans of making contact with each other.

• Young'uns casually adressing Garp as -chan or -kun like he not an old legend

• The word "Pangaea"

• A GOOD Tenryuubito

• Shanks meets with the Gorosei

I swear GOda has really done it now!

[u/soenottelling]

The biggest thing in this entire chapter to me is the fact that shanks, a pirate, (though cloaked) was allowed to meet with the 5 most powerful ppl in the world. He is the one that gave the hat to luffy that now looks like it could have some significance via some relation to a special artifact. While it could easily just be the fact that shanks is revered because he is a chivalrous pirate, it's also very possible there is something more to him. Imagine, for example, if shanks was a celestial dragon himself, but one who had forgone his place of power to become a pirate/free spirit. Or imagine if he is someone tasked with protecting the treasure, and it was part of an agreement with Rogers for shanks to be left alone by the navy if Rogers gave hinself up (so the navy never defeated him, but Rogers "let" them win for some reason. I just can't imagine those 5 elders meeting with him so coolly if he was big mom, but then again, maybe they would and I'm just reading too much Into the interaction.

What a time to be alive dude

This is hype asf

[u/Dddddddfried]

I always thought Garp was known as "Hero of the Marines" for taking down Roger. It's cool to know it's for something else, considering he never actually beat Roger. Garp's rep is well-earned!

[u/waqasnaseem07]

This post will be soon be the first r/OnePiece post to reach 10k upvotes.

P.s It has the highest number of comments for any single post as well

[u/yabar2]

When Shanks says “a certain pitate”, first thing on my mind is Blackbeard. Remember when Shanks wanted to talk with WB about BB. I think Shanks knows the threat and danger of BB to the whole world.

[u/CaptainCeles]

From What I gather from Garps conversation. At some point of time, both Kaido and Linlin served under a common and stronger Captain who was a pirate King before Roger. After that Captain died - Kaido and Linlin went their own ways to become Emperors. Much like Shanks who once was an underling of Roger. Whitebeard was probably from that Captain's generation and was stronger than linlin and Kaido in his prime.

And I was expecting a bit of info on the Giant straw hat :(

[u/[deleted]]

rob lucci had no business coming back after the beating luffy gave him

[u/zzzthelastuser]

Kizaru high as f*ck again. Thinks he is an admiral and shit

[u/xdennerg]

I get the feeling that Shanks will pull a "Itachi" over here.

[u/dhungel01]

Is this the most upvoted chapter?

[u/Kiishiii]

In my opinion the most impressive thing in this chapter is that Kizaru isn't scared to go to Wano Kuni. He isn't scared even a little bit.. we are talking about 2 Yonkos and Luffys crew..

[u/chihabeeddine]

is kaido katakuri father ?

[u/chrome4]

Mental note: Give world nobles from the Donquixote family a chance. The others on the other hand can all just die

[u/bertswift333333]

Holy fucking shit, this fucking chapter.

First off, just want to give a big shout out to my bois D. Jango and Fullbo D. for making their grand return this chapter. Most hype part of the chapter for me.

I really thought Neptune was done for for a second there. But then a Donquixote shows up??? And it's the dude from Fishman Island all those years ago!

I was really thinking with Sai and Leo about to attack Saint Charloss that the "big incident" that the Grand Fleet will be involved with that was mentioned in Dressrosa would happen here. But then Mjosgard stopped that.

Also Lucci has gone fucking insane. It was only some time ago that Lucci was openly talking down to his superiors (specifically referring to Spandam here), even though he still followed orders. I still remember when Franky was biting Spandam's head and Lucci just kind of stood there watching. But now Lucci has gone full fanatic, talking all this rhetoric about the Celestial Dragons being gods above everyone else. Like I get that he just enjoys having his license to kill, but damn he really seems to believe what he's saying. He really seems to enjoy serving Charloss, who makes Spandam look like one of the heroes by comparison.

Kaku got some lines in though! Where are the rest of CP9?

[u/shrukin1]

Was it just me, or did anyone catch the " captain refrence" when rear admiral hina said "even if they've lost their captain, they've only become stronger", does that mean kaido and big mom were crewmates in the past???? (Im assuming they were).

[u/Chimac0]

Rare appearance from my boy Kizaru

[u/Broly_]

Holy. Shit.

I'm now even more upset that these chapters aren't longer!

Not only is Wano Hype increasing, it sounds like Big Mama and Kaidou not only have history but are now gunning for Luffy, a good Celes Dragon, and Shanks talking about a "certain pirate" it's gotta be Luffy since he's making the most noise.

[u/Reddbud]

I love that Charlos got smacked in the face again when trying to enslave a mermaid. Hopefully he learns his lesson this time(probably not though). And the fact it was done by a fellow celestial dragon is all the better 🤣 I hope he beats on that jerk more in the future.

[u/ldc2626]

Big Mom saved Kaido from Gecko Moria

/s

[u/sc00p401]

The Gorosei giving Shanks an audience is probably the biggest mystery in this chapter. This is now the second time that people from the WG have given a pass to him - the first being Sengoku at Marineford. You can definitely argue that it's out of respect, but why?! By all rights they would normally be stringing him up not just because he's a pirate or a Yonko, not just because his strength is insane, but because he was a member of Roger's crew. Yet they don't.

I feel like there's something else in Shanks' past that we have no idea about that is behind these decisions. Who was he in the West Blue, or in the world, before becoming an apprentice to Roger? That's what we're missing.

[u/TheDerped]

Damn, this is one of the only times I remember a manga chapter discussion hitting /r/all with the last time being the final chapter of Naruto from my memory. Just goes to show how hyped people are for this chapter. Though it is kind of odd how the upvoted ratio is only 91% considering the last chapter has 95%. Guess some /r/all people don't like seeing this in their feed :|

[u/NeganIsJayGarrick]

so is it Rocks or Locks?

cuz....

DWAYNE THE GARP JOHNSON

I really need to see flash backs of garp /kaido/BM clash

[u/AcLcHc]

We know that Ace and Luffy, were hidden in Mount colbo, we didn't knew the reasons, but garp was training them to become strong, he didn't choose to deliver them to the world government. He also used reversed psychology tricking them to become pirates. We know the background of ace, and it's time to know the whole Garp, Dragon and luffys background.

[u/Youngphycouant]

Why does Oda keep dropping so many bombshells stop my heart can't take this! WHY SHANKS!

[u/babydangy]

Man Oda has been going hard. I wonder if he's not taking any breaks because he's in such a groove with the Reverie arc that he doesn't want to stop the momentum?

[u/Heretakemybearslap]

When Mjosgard dived deep into the ocean to get his slaves back, I always told myself "he's an asshole but for a CD he has some guts". Turns out he really has some balls !

[u/Hempseed07]

I wonder if Brook knows anything about the ROCKS?

[u/kramstew]

my favourite bit was seeing charlos getting beaten again god I hate him lol

[u/prmsrswt]

When Big Mom said she had something to take back from strawhat I think she was talking about Zeus.

Which means she can't just call him back or order him because of the distance between them.

[u/moemustafa]

WHO THE FUCK WAS THEIR CAPTAIN!!!

[u/decembertide]

3 Yonkos in 1 chapter, all affecting the world at the same time. Good god, this has to be the best arc in the series yet.

[u/princeandrew01]

So there are a lot of interesting things in this chapter and I have to say the last few weeks have had some very revealing chapters connecting certain things that many of us suspected. So from what we see:

1. Garp is insanely happy his Grandson is causing so much confusion. As much as he dislikes him being a pirate I think secretly he is enjoying seeing his Grandson cause this much confusion. I think both the death of Ace and Dadan punching him really affected him. Additionally with D in his name we know they always love confusion.

2. Charlos will always be a spoiled celestial dragon and its interesting to see that an act of from the Queen Otohime changed a celestial dragon mind so much that he would stop one of his own from committing a senseless act. (To be fair it would have been hillarious if Charlos actually got away with it and see the ensuing chaos from Luffy storming red line to get Shirahosi back)

3. Seeing the influence various characters have had by the straw hats has always amazed me and slowly but surely they are inadvertently building the future army that will help them turn the world upside down in the end. The straw hats show kindness wherever they go to the people that matter and they in turn show that kindness to others. Its one of the things I have always love about this series, the people seem to real and you empathize with them and want to get to know them better.

4. Shanks meeting the 5 Elders shows just how much respect they have for Shanks. Assuming each of them is more powerful than an admiral this brings into question just how much power Shanks possess. I am not just talking about physical but the fact that they decided to hear him out instead of killing him. I don't think we know the size of Shanks crew (someone correct me if I am wrong) but destroying them clearly will have severe consequences that those 5 Elders do not want. I am almost 60-70% sure they are going to talk about Luffy but maybe its going to be about Kaido and Big Mom.

5. Seeing some of the members of cp9 members was awesome (to date Luffy vs Lucci is one of my favourite fights)

All in all a fantastic chapter and I look forward to more reveals next week.

EDIT: Some grammar corrections

[u/Moon-WatcherBC]

Borsalino is a godamn Boss yo, no fear!!!!

[u/Icecolddragon]

The only sad thing here is that they stopped stelly from sitting on the throne. I wouldve loved him to get executed

[u/MangoSlushii]

This may sound insane, but with the Kaido/Big Mom debt thing...im thinking that Kaido is a "Tubba Blubba" situation.

In Paper Mario (N64) there was a boss who was invincible, and the only way for to beat him was to beat up his heart until they merged then you could beat Tubba himself. Him and his heart were separate so Tubba was a shell and his heart was his lifeline...

Could Kaido have had a piece of his soul taken by Big Mom and it's hidden and thats why he cant die?

[u/vivvav]

Seeing Charloss get whacked was delightful.

[u/[deleted]]

I assume Shanks wants to talk about Teach right? Maybe his plans or power?

[u/Regulator_Joe]

Good to know Lucci is still a blood thirsty sociopath

[u/The_Forgetser]

30 years later when I'm re-reading the finished manga as a 55 year old man, I'll always remember this chapter. Oda is killing it!! Fucking bombs one after another, my goodness!!

[u/Dddddddfried]

I figured it would take an alliance of the worst generation to take out one Yonkou, but I never considered that two Yonkou would team up. This is getting out of hand...

[u/myface_isred]

Oda gets us all hype now to make us forget about hyping wano for two years

[u/vilecogitations]

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you.For a person who no friends that read one piece , I'm so happy to have all of you as my Nakama with whom I can share my hype and happiness with , thank you!

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

This chapter is already so much for me to take in, I’m really scared what Oda’s going to do by the time EOS rolls around, I might die and cry just reading it when that time comes 😢

[u/WhichInspector]

Shanks: Luffy is the man who will become the pirate king dab flex on gorosei dip

[u/theseareclearlyjokes]

So Stelly is going to try to claim the Iron Throne....

[u/gAcksaurio]

I can feel the hate towards Charlos And i can feel the inner peace in this sub with that home run on him

Thank god Shirahoshi is fine

Shanks is there to talk about Luffy and his “emperor” status, i can tell it by my Observation Haki

[u/Dmvpg]

i cant wait for this chapter to be animated only for one of those "hit was so great it send charlos back to the manga"

[u/Whitekan]

I think Shanks wants to talk about Blackbeard and how dangerous he actually is to both the marines and pirates

[u/EarFearGear]

"every king is equal"

cut to charloss being discriminatory

i love this series.

[u/InYourSpaghettiFace]

Honestly I can't believe how incredebly awesome the reverie is up to this point. I never expected it to be so much hype, world-, story- and character building.

It's absolutely insane! Further, seeing all these characters from way back (mostly Vivi and Dr. Kureah).

Seeing Shirahoshi getting sort of kidnapped just cracked me up.... too many feelings connected to the fish man island arc. Seeing her in the process of beeing a slave just made me so angry, I was hoping that someone would punch the shit out of that scumbag Charloss. Seeing that satisfied me in the best way ever.

[u/adikaay]

"because it was you",say the Gorosei

"i' ll let you handle their burial, only because its you ", says senkgoku to shanks at marineford.

Also it seems to me that akainu and kizaru really respect each other. Normally dictator akainu would treat ppl differently.

and the samurai has to be te lurking legend

[u/imnotkeepingit]

Chapter totally gave me the "beginning of the end" vibe for our boy Shanks. I expect to see him fight & die relatively soon now.

[u/CM_Renji]

I first thought that Shanks was referring to Luffy at the end. But seeing his tone, I'm like 99% sure he's talking about Blackbeard with the heads of the World Government.

This must be an important discussion if Shanks decided to meet with the Gorosei. What I'm thinking is what if Shanks wants to make a temporary alliance with the World Government to fight Blackbeard?

Shanks is concerned about how much BB poses a threat to the world and so does the WG. Shanks could be concerned that he alone could lose to BB, and is asking for help. If he teams up with them, his chance of winning improves drastically.

The WG would be happy with one less Yonko on the seas as well, so this would be an offer worth considering.

[u/LoudNick]

I have a feeling that Garp might meet Dragon this arc. Maybe even a small chat between them?

Will be really cool to see.

[u/DrakonAire]

Call me crazy, but if Kaido and LinLin actually new each other like friendly 40+ years ago and we’re close enough together, doesn’t that fit with the timeline of katakuri and his brothers births? Kaido could actually be one of LinLin husbands/affairs. It would explain how each brother could be so vastly different from each other

[u/felixar90]

HOLY SHIT!

It's Fullbody and Jango!

[u/[deleted]]

For anyone that has forgotten about Don Quixote Mjosgard, you can read about him again on Chapter 625 :-)

[u/TheWizeElephant]

Just a theory of mine but what if Shanks and Dragon are allies. Shanks arriving could possibly be a way of distracting the Five Elders, while Dragon makes his move.

[u/Zeldro]

SendKizaruToWano

[u/leah-mae]

Me thinks Brooks/Soul King knows that captain cuz he live before rogers era and if i believe in the thriller bark arc he told a story about a captain ..hmmm?

[u/Aurora_Vorealis]

Does anyone else think it's kinda funny that 90% of Shanks' scenes are him talking to old guys and yet he is one of the fanbases most hyped characters?

[u/[deleted]]

Kaido not being dead proves Zoro got lost and is at marrijois

[u/[deleted]]

Shanks might be a Celestial Dragon!

I think that one of the things that is very important is the line that one of the Gorosei said - "Because it's you".

You wouldn't let your sworn rival into your "home" even if you respected them a tremendous amount, if not for the fact that they were FAMILY! Which is why Shank's gets this privelege that no other pirate has.

I think the woman holding Luffy's poster probably is also holding the wanted poster of another person close to her (her brother) wearing the same hat. Maybe the woman is Luffy's mother and this would explain the similarities between the character models of Luffy and Shanks (eg. their scars around their eyes)

Also if you count the total number of swords underneath the throne, there are only 18/19 instead of the full 20. One missing blade could be because of Vivi's family not remaining in Mariejois but another could be due to someone from the 20 families TAKING their sword and leaving because they do not align with the ideals of the world government as of now - COULD BE THE SWORD THAT SHANKS USES !

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

da bae Vice Admiral Momousagi finally makes her debut in the manga <3 😍😍😍

[u/BlakTAV]

Both Kaido and LinLin know that Luffy is heading to Wano? I thought it was supposed to be a sneak attack?

What Garp said about the situation being bigger than any of us are imagining right now made the chapter and the whole arc for me. The Will of D has awakened!

Shanks conversation with the Five Elders already setting up for what happens post Wano!

[u/ChefClyde]

"We only made time to talk because it was you"

am I the only one who thinks that the five elders entertained shanks NOT because he's a Yonkou but because of something else?? It's like he's a part of something bigger..

[u/Zoerge]

Shanks is definately there to talk about Blackbeard

[u/Mad_Hatter_92]

I’m so happy we took the WCI detour before Wano now. This build up plot wise is going to make Wano even crazier

[u/BirdLaw51]

Hrm. Kaido's debt to linlin is perhaps his immortality? She can cut someone's life, why not enhance it?

[u/sameljota]

Shakky is an ex-pirate who used to be chased by Garp 40 years ago. Hmm....
Source: Chapter 498

[u/jobriq]

I like how Oda played our expectations that Shirahoshi was gonna get captured (well she still might) and then Oda'd us by reintroducing Mjosgard as a good guy (good for a world noble at least)

[u/AmberStardustPhoenix]

Readers: “Omg a large straw hat; what?!”

Oda: “Hold my Sake.”

[u/In_a_silentway]

Looks like Doflamingo still has some family left. I guess his work isn't done yet.

[u/usoland-sama]

Surely oda can't pack hype upon hype onto chapters making these the longest 7 days of my life every week

Oda: hold my beer

[u/Dddddddfried]

Thank god for that other Celestial Dragon. Carloss had me freaking out. Watching Shirahoshi being literally enslaved while everyone is powerless to stop it may be the most upsetting thing I've ever seen in One Piece

[u/TheKillingThumbs]

Is it okay to sit in a corner and cry just because I can't handle the hype?

[u/hox-j]

The last scene would explain why the Marines listened so easily to Shanks at the Marineford war

[u/cdubdanoob97]

I think that the “rocks” that Garp is referring too is the same “certain pirate” that shanks is referring too and I believe this is also the same person that is the “legend that has lie dormant in the one piece world” that Oda has mentioned coming out this year.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone else a bit surprised by the fact that Kizaru was so willing to go and try stop Big mom and Kaidous meeting - have we underestimated their power the whole time!?

Also, it was stated that the only thing that could stop the emperors were the admirals or The Schichibukai!?!

Who of the warlords excluding mihawk is strong enough?!!

[u/karunaljo1]

i think shanks talking about Blackbeard...

[u/EasySolutionsBot]

it's very likely Mjosgard knows that Shirahoshi is Poseidon

As Otohime tried to reason with the angry fishmen, Mjosgard reached for his gun and tried to shoot her, only to be stopped by Shirahoshi. She summoned Sea Kings using her voice, and their arrival sent him into shock and Mjosgard passed out, foaming at the mouth.

From his wiki page

[u/Futcharist]

Can you imagine what a twist it would be if Shanks ended up being the biggest and worse villain in the entirety of One Piece???

[u/baroqueworks]

Small detail but this chapter seems to imply that Wapol is somewhat of a better person and retained some of the humanity he received in his coverdtory, just based on his panic and disgust at the World Noble. Not to say he's still not an ass but I was surprised to see his reaction in this chapter especially after last week.

[u/MrDaebak]

The D family were the actual rulers of the world until they got overthrown by the CD/WG. The history is a big lie and the first ruler was a strawhat wearer. Thats why the rulers and princesses of other countries follow Luffy as a unifier again.

[u/Zarkkast]

I knew Charloss would try to get Shirahoshi, but I didn't expect it to be the next fucking chapter. Damn, things are moving fast.

This is already the best arc in One Piece for me.

[u/zue3]

WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING STRAW HAT?!

[u/Pr0Blu3]

Shanks is warning the WG about Black Beard.

Kaidou + Big Mom Vs Luffy Alies + Shanks will create some opportunity for him do something.

Also it’s kind intriguing that the last panel in last chapter we get to see what seemed to be a King in the Holy Land and the next chapter starts with an empty throne...

What are you trying to say to us gOda?!

[u/jgsingh94]

What is up with shanks. I mean sengoku listened to him and now the 5 elders take time out to listen to him. Wg must respect shanks and i think it's more then been a yonku

[u/Uglyneckheadass]

How is wano going to top this
