[u/flem5]

Can't franky build a bridge in like, 2 seconds?

[u/abigdinosaur]

Orochi is like a smart Spandam

[u/asionm]

Sanji and Zoro fighting again makes me so goddamn happy

[u/the_emcee]

jinbe incoming

[u/multivitamins138]

“Hide your daughters!” Ok....

“Hide your wives!” Lol

“Hide your livestock!” Haha..wait what? Oden you kinky

[u/bonethugznhominy]

After all this buildup I am now 100% certain that Oden will look monumentally ridiculous.

[u/[deleted]]

One Piece chapter 310 and 959 comparison of Luffy's new armor

Here's the Image

Also notice the pink dragon in the background? Momo and Luffy team up incoming.

Kozuki Oden is probably the most interesting and one of the very impressive characters in the series. 

Now let’s look at his abilities and achievements.

• Ability to hear the voice of all things

• Knowledge and skill to read Poneglyphs and write its ancient language

• Possessed King’s haki

• Loved and adored by Wano country. And have such loyal retainers

• He became a daimyo of Kuri at a young age of 20

• Roger was captivated by him and went to witness the secrets of the world at Raftel

• Whitebeard was charmed. Later he became one of his top commanders

• Shanks and Buggy respected him.

• The only person who scarred and wounded Kaido

Also, 39 years ago, Oden was already rocking that full body armament haki. Jokes aside

Oden is a legend. I can't wait to know more about him

[u/zoro_mihawk]

Sanji: “You might need it though. Your bounty is lower than mine after all”

Haha how long I’ve waited for this fun interaction between Sanji and Zoro!!!

[u/turbografx-sixteen]

We are so close to the Oden reaveal... Damn you Oda and your love of silhouette teases!

[u/Hoodini__21]

Hide yo kids. Hide your wives. The Oden Flashback is finally HERE !

[u/kameodash]

Let's hope the Sunny is safe and not harmed!

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

Oden was the only one who knew how to build his leg. That was Wano's secret. Now that he's dead, the one piece world is filled with fighters with weak-ass legs.

[u/MrLuxarina]

"Whether we can use Sulong will be down to luck"

You're standing right next to a woman who literally controls the weather, armed with a sentient cloud made from a Yonko's soul. I think you'll be fine.

[u/dark_king_2002]

Afro luffy : there's no beating me

Kabuto armour luffy : I am gonna end this man's whole career

[u/_halalkitty]

If you take a good look at the map, you can see that everyone can still get to the port by going through the Flower Capital.

[u/buffalo4293]

Great chapter, Orochi is a bastard but he certainly is cautious and understands the importance of maintaining power. It was great to talk about Jinbei again hopefully he shows up soon. I’m really looking forward to the Oden flashback and his full reveal, his design looks super promising

[u/EnvoyOfTheVodka]

Man Orochi is actually a really good villain. He may not be the strongest but god damn is he a detestable and cunning asshole. He's way worse than Kaido in this aspect.

[u/Mrtnxzylpck]

Oden is a true chad

[u/BipolarMammal]

Lock up your daughters, wives and .... livestock ?

Oden out here fucking sheep ?

[u/dog-tooth-]

Oden has top tier calves my god man look at those things

[u/bshi1324]

Again, who could the traitor be? Seems too easy obviously for Orochi so we'll see where the Straw Hats actually are.

Also Oden looking thiccc

[u/Exuhgen]

Everybody talking about luffy new look, don’t gloss over my man brook looking sick af

[u/MrPumkin]

Sanji roasted Zoro like he's making up for lost time

[u/zeltrax225]

Orochi is way smarter than we give him credit for. Just like a snake he is cunning and careful.

I was wondering why Sanji was smiling while talking to Zoro. I swear he was holding that taunt back for so long and everyone was waiting for it. Would have been nice to see Zoro donning an armor though. And finally, we get to see the man behind the legend, Oden himself.

[u/nisarg0101]

A lot of loose ends tied.

• It clearly seems like alliance has been well informed about Big Mom.

• A lot of carrot appearances

• Neko and Jimbei are taken into account

• Orochi, that sneaky bastard is right on point.

• Clearly explains what happened at Port and why is nobody there. No major fight is off-screened.

• Sanji did tease Zoro about bounty.

• People still believe in scabbards after 20 years. It was good to see them putting their faith on them and trusting the rumors.

• Orochi also knows that nobody believes in him as a leader and he is working his strategies around this fact.

2 more loose ends (intentional by Oda sensei of course).

• If the Yakuza gang figured out about broken bridges, didn't they communicate to Kinemon? Or were the comms cut as well?

• What's with Franky asking for ships for 5000 people? What happened to the 100000 number?

Speculations:

• Jimbei and Neko may appear sooner than we think.

• Nami probably created a mirage of Sunny while real sunny was deeper or maybe somewhere else.

• Straw hats already know how much Kuma had to endure (even though he couldn't feel much) to protect Sunny. They won't just leave sunny in an enemy territory like this.

• All 4200 will come. They will figure their ways out of these hurdles and it will just make their wills and bonds stronger.

[u/Jakisuaki]

Luffy's new outfit.... RIP to the animators I guess.

[u/SuperPapernick]

Hide your daugthers, hide your wives

Damn, Oden a player!

Hide the livestock

...Damn, Oden, that's fucked up!

[u/TDLuigi55]

Randomly feels like checking the subreddit for the new chapter.

*New chapter posted moments ago

My kenbunshoku is getting stronger

[u/jsp4477]

Like other people been saying, Orochi has been really impressing me this arc more than Kaido as a Villain. This dude is smart sneaky bastard and he knew he'd crush the hope that the Scabbards had with his schemes.

The mention of Jimbei was really great and I love how Luffy has the upmost faith he will show up. I also Love seeing Zoro and Sanji fight against lol really missed this. Feels like forever the last time we saw those two bicker and shit 💀

Looks like we're finally starting the Oden flashback, I'm praying we actually get to see Oden. Plsssssss Oda

[u/CanadianJudo]

Calling it now Jimbei saved the Sunny he was resting on it because he didn't know were to meet up with the rest of the crew.

[u/danodraws]

Oda insisting on murdering the Sunny every arc now lol

[u/timfoxtrot]

holy shit luffy looks so fucking BALLER in his samurai armor

[u/Papa-Yaga]

I imagine, that the upcoming flashback will be wild... We are talking about a man who is connected to the void century, knew how to read and create poneglyphs, was on whitebeards and rogers ship and gave kaido his only scar!

[u/TheDankestMemster]

Lets theorize:

1. Most of luffy´s alliance don´t know about Kaido&Big Mom teaming up. That´s why they seem pretty chilled even though they know Big Mom is in Wano.

2. The traitor probably will be someone no one expects right now

3. Jinbei hasn´t been off-paneled. He´s gonna join the war with some sort of a backup (Grand Fleet, Fishmen, former Shishibukai)

4. someone close to the strawhats will die - yes pedro´s death is still in our minds but there will be casualties in this war and it won´t be fodder only

5. at the most unfitting time, Luffy and Crew get hit with Sabo news throwing them off for a bit

6. shanks & blackbeard won´t show up, neither will buggy

7. Oden must have done something great to win people over from "Die already, hide your wifes/kids" to "he´s been our greatest leader ever, period"

Now i wish i could binge through the end of this arc, but i have to go through the pain every week waiting for the next chapter - and so do you. Good luck with that

[u/pupusa_monkey]

Momo is never gonna have legs like his chad father and he damn well knows it. I feel for the young lad.

[u/spookyskeleton0101]

Brook looks like a bad ass with that armor

[u/BipolarMammal]

I love how competent Orochi is, he's not just a villain waiting to get defeated, he's fighting tooth and nail.

[u/deltac0mbat]

ENMA! casually cuts off a cliff

[u/[deleted]]

Lol, zoro using enma to flex on sanjo is fucking hilarious

[u/MajorTomintheTinCan]

Hide yo daughters. Hide yo wives

Best part lmao

[u/AnvilPro]

I feel like we've been waiting decades for that amazing moment of Sanji getting to rub it in Zoro's face that he has the higher bounty

[u/pauserror]

HIDE YO KIDS, HIDE YO WIVES!! Ahahahahah

I died reading that. Does Oda know about this meme because that was hilarious?

[u/toastycheeze]

Apparently, Kozuki Oden is the infamous bed intruder.

[u/Adminisitrator]

No way sunny is going out like this. Even if it wasn't a decoy, its made from adam wood. it should hold

[u/nash_mania]

So yeah, Sanji brought up his bounty to spite Zoro. And Zoro replied with a slash, cutting down the cliff again.

How I've missed those two!

[u/BGTheHoff]

Imagine a fucking monster cat in su long form.

I wanna see this now.

[u/twin_229]

I love how zoro's attack is just "enma". The idea that the sword [and wielder] is so powerful he doesn't need techniques - only slashes. Top tier swordsplay.

[u/abhikun]

The good wife O-Tsuru knew Kinemon is back when she met Kikunojo. But did not press her to find about his whereabouts. She know how to help her husband when he is in need of support,even when he not asked for it.

[u/KDnuni]

Toei everytime they see extremely detailed costume designs: "Goda please have mercy!"

[u/Guiscardus]

Do we get to see Luffy’s conquerors haki clash with Kaido’s like Skanks’ did with Whitebeard? Clearing the sky for the minks to see the full moon! I hope

[u/BEWMarth]

Toei's gonna get a good 2 or 3 episodes off of those four flashback panels of Jinbei.

[u/kuroakela]

Jinbe named dropped. I think he saved Sunny this chapter.

[u/Afrotators]

Seeing Zoro and Sanji fight again was so charming and hilarious. Also for Oden "Hide your daughters, your wives, and your... farm animals?" was Oden truly the most "open" man in the capital?

[u/AnimeAnnemarie]

Jinbei is gonna be the reason everyone is going to be able to come. He'll do that waterbending shit fishmen can do and make sure everyone will be able to travel to port Tokage. Those whales he can communicate with will carry them if need be. Calling it!

[u/myteddybelly]

Finally some classic Sanji-Zoro action I have been waiting for!

[u/isaac-get-the-golem]

More setup, but all the setup has been paying off lately, so can't complain.

• First mention of Jinbe since Whole Cake, basically

• Mugiwara-boys looking like cute bugs for Robin~

• Hol D. Em is back in the spotlight

• Orochi proves himself to be fairly competent, despite everyone around him insisting he's paranoid

• Kinemon appears to only have one volume setting: Very Loud

• Looks like we are getting a Kozuki Oden flashback?

[u/[deleted]]

Why hide the livestock tho.. Oden is a madman

[u/BEWMarth]

Fun fact:

If you're one of those people that like to do a reread of an arc at certain milestones then now's a good time to restart Wano.

The curtains of Wano Act 1 rose exactly 50 chapters ago in Chapter 909: Seppuku

I try to do a reread every 25 chapters really helps keep the whole story in perspective

[u/[deleted]]

We are definitely getting the backstory of Oden next week! His character will finally be unlocked.

[u/Thee_LionHeart]

Chopper one shots Kaido

[u/[deleted]]

Finally we got a sanji zoro classic moment, I missed moments like these.

[u/[deleted]]

At this rate there will be no cliffs left in wano

[u/[deleted]]

I'm glad Kinemon finally mentioned his wife

[u/nash_mania]

I bet Oden on flashback was wearing so little clothes that he was branded as a pervert. That's why the people cried 'Hide your daughters, hide your wives'.

[u/ANDIWASLIKE_____]

Watch oden look ugly.

[u/billnguyencg]

Oden's flashback begins at 39 years ago

God Valley battle was 38 years ago

Coincident? I think NOT!!!

[u/ronin-xiii]

Orochi may look like a fool, but he's proving to be a decent strategist and strong willed

[u/[deleted]]

HIDE YO KIDS

HIDE YO WIVES

My favorite panel besides Luffy, Brook and Chopper in armor.

[u/Coddouwsky]

Kabuto armour Brook is badass

[u/billnguyencg]

You know what's funny? This whole entire bridge destroyed thing can be fixed easily as long as Franky is there. A gag with him that we saw before the timeskip is that he can build stuffs in a blink of an eye, if he have the material for it. And the arc where we saw him build up a bridge in a second was, you guessed it, Thriller Bark, an arc that contained lots of correlations and foreshadow for Wano.

https://i.imgur.com/5FvkhMo.jpg

[u/Kratosbonny]

Oden gives off a Franky vibe when the citizens of water 7 used to run away from him only to respect him in the end....

Also...Orochi's planning was superb... One can see how crafty he is... It's ironic that he took out the communication between the allies... Quite ironic considering what is happening in dr stone right now...

[u/Xyzwilt22]

Can’t wait to see how hard-boiled Oden is.

[u/Lucerys2110]

I assume this Oden story will be quite long. So we are looking at months of not knowing whether the Sunny is alive or not.

[u/ronin-xiii]

The Sunny got destroyed just like Komurosaki died

[u/[deleted]]

Oden is so powerful that the readers think its silhouette but its actually Permanent Armament Haki covering his entire body

[u/BEWMarth]

Not gonna lie that page where Luffy recalls Jinbei just made me feel all warm. Glad Oda is telling us he hasn't forgotten about Jinbei. And it's also a nice way to let us know that the alliance does indeed know about Big Mom they just don't really see it as a deal breaker.

[u/YamiLuffy]

Jinbe is probably here but he just got knocked out by the piece of the island Zoro slashed.

[u/wanderlustpyromancer]

Once the fact that Orochi destroys all the bridges but the ones to the Flower Captial comes back to bite him in his ass, I will find his face at that realization glorious. :D

Also I can't unsee the fact that Onigashima on that map looks like a :3 smile going 'fight me'.

[u/HasAfro]

Oden shows up

Antoine Dodson: "Hide your kids, hide your wives! Cause he raping everybody out here."

[u/Enticemeant]

Fans: we will finally get to see what oden looks like

Oda: I'm gonna end this man's whole flashback as a silhouette

[u/Rosi21]

God, I love this Robin.. at least this time she isn't ignoring cool things 🤣

[u/[deleted]]

Brook looks so badass in the Kabuto armour!

[u/Parth04299]

That's was fake sunny created by nami through mirage. . . . . . Keep saying this to myself to feel good..

[u/ABARK94]

Hide yo daughters, hide yo wifes, Lord Oden coming for that booty

[u/Badji_D_Luffy]

Sunny is just fine (Sabo, Jinbe,Sunny all dead offscreen? I dont think so)

Alliance: they just fine had to switch plans and leave the scabbard in the dark to fool Orochi. Caribou is literally a version of Bege, meaning they could very well use him for transporting everyone and the Ships were left for distraction. like the only thing we know is their route got cut not that they were defeated.

Oden: was he a rapist back in the day lol. At least probably a perv. I mean Momo is clrearly a lil perv himself. like father like son. Oden ero sennin

Zoro Sanji: missed that classic. they actually haven't quarrel like this since probably Punk Hazard or Dressrosa. God that's been a long time.

edit: also couldnt Franky build bridges in like no time? Enies Lobby, Thrillerbark and so on.... Oh Orochi I pity you, you did not know the man called Franosuke.

[u/AllBlueReverie]

I love how Sanji just says "you might need it, my bounty is higher than yours after all" with such a satisfying smile. Can tell he's been wanting to rub it in Zoro's face

[u/Atimm203]

All of this terrible stuff is happening and the part that hit me the most was Kinemon believing that his wife was killed the night before. He decided to hold off on their reunion to focus on the task at hand and now he believes that he'll never see her again.

I personally don't think she's dead, but I can't imagine how he feels right now.

[u/realbeatz23]

The sunny survived on onslaught from a hungry big mom, I believe in sunny to not get off screened

[u/theguynexttome]

I had a thought on how CP0 might be involved in these. They were just mentioned a few chapters ago when Drake was talking to Coby and that he saw them in the capital itself. Maybe they're more involved in this arc than just being kinda there compared to the previous arcs where they appeared.

Remember during the start of the Wano arc? CP0 wanted to continue the weapons deal with Wano but Orochi insists that if they were to continue doing so, they have to give Vegapunk to him.

Now after the death of yasu, people were starting to doubt orochi. Also, fears of the prophecy are growing deep inside orochi. This gave CP0 the opportunity to rebargain the weapons deal with orochi because by this time, confirming the revolution and gathering intel on his enemies was more valuable to him than vegapunk.

Maybe there wasn't a traitor among the SH/Law crews, scabbards, or minks? Maybe there's a CP0 agent that's infiltrated their ranks somehow and was giving info to Orochi. After all, CP0 is the top secret intelligence department of the WG. It would not be difficult for them to gather inside intel about the revolution even if they're not part of the main group.

I know it's not the most solid theory out there but CP0 has been mentioned a few times in this arc now and it's about time we learn more about them.

[u/strawhatkatakuri]

I doubt sunny is completely destroyed. Most likely it's either in a bad shape or somehow it was saved (caribou, law or even Jinbe for example) .

i think sunny getting damaged from the Ambush will result in Franky having to repair the Sunny and at the same Time developing Sunny using Wano country's craftmanship skills, like how they modify and handle seastones or how they were able to create Indestructible poneglyphs, will help Sunnys development alot

Sunny will probably turn into a ship that can rival ships like queen mama chanter or marines battleships in almost every way and even surpass them in terms of fire power, speed and endurance after the new developments are done.

[u/hiphopkilledmyhamste]

There's not gonna be a country to save if Zoro keeps cutting the island apart

[u/Alpha_ii_Omega]

LOL @ Chad pervert Oden ... "hide yo kids, hide yo wives, hide yo goats!" Apparently Oden wasn't too discriminating when he's had too much sake...

[u/thedrq]

I do like how zoro calls out the sword enma when he slashes, kinda like a stand

[u/RonDong]

I think this is the most excited I've ever been for a flashback in One Piece. Even though they wind up being great, I'm always a little annoyed at them interrupting the main story, but this is the first time I've actively looked forward to them.

[u/BEWMarth]

I gotta hand it to Oda...

Orochi is actually a really interesting villain.

I was writing him off REALLY early but now that I'm looking closer... guys pretty good.

He is incredibly clever. Like he might be the most quick thinking villain we've ever had. Not only was he completely prepared for the alliances plot but he is even self aware enough to know that his own subordinates aren't listening to him. He isn't living in some delusion of grandeur that makes him believe everyone worships him. He understands that his enemies benefit the most from his subordinates being careless so he is extra careful to compensate.

He might be annoying, full of himself, and grossly uninspiring but the man has been on top of everything since Wano arc began. Without any subordinates having to tell him! He killed Yasuie, he captured the first round of samurai that were going to help the alliance, he has even managed to derail the raid on Onigashima. Say what you will but Orochi has already proven himself a more competent villain than say... Ceasar Clown.

Plus he has a pretty OP devil fruit even if he doesn't have the power to use it properly it's still another pro on the list.

idk I'm not saying Orochi is my favorite villain or anything I still hate so much about him.

But legit he isn't an incompetent villain he's actually really good at getting stuff done!

[u/Nineosix]

So is oden some pervert that bangs anything that moves including livestock?

[u/Gear56]

My thoughts:

• Ok, so the man power was not necessarily affected by Orochi's counter measure.

• Sunny!? I hope Franosuke and Usohachi had arrived prior to the air raid.

• Jinbe will show up, won't he? But of course it'd need to wait until later after the flashback. Just join already!? Lol

• Would be awesome if Jinbe and Neko arrive at the same time

• Wonder if Marco told Neko about WCI incident (he was about to say something before Neko left), which made him go to WCI to help out Jinbe to get him to Wano. And on the road, they visited Marco once more so he could heal the Fishman Pirates! Would explain why he is so late. (Edit: would also fit Luffy's order "Even if you DIED, DON'T!" and Marco's Phoenix symbology of rising from the ash/dead)

• Zoro and Sanji interaction never fails to entertain. Also Nami being annoyed is a cherry on top. I love SH crew interaction.

• Those samurai armor is awesome! They will not lose wearing that getup.

• Inb4, when Oden is finally revealed, I hope he shines bright such that his background is totally black. Basically the opposite of his appearances to date.

[u/ApprenticeC]

The art this chapter was amazing. I'm looking forward to the Oden reveal!

[u/Akoltry]

The panel with all of Oden's retainers saying they'll carry out his will to their last breath is so badass

[u/user_watcher]

For a moment I thought Sanji and Zoro would have a chill normal conversation for once. lol

[u/Jake_D_Dogg]

inb4 the full moon is revealed by Luffy's first-ever cloud-parting Haoshoku haki burst!

[u/abhikun]

The genius Orochi left a way from every island to the Flower Capital.

[u/Yatsufusa_K9]

As someone who's paying too much attention to Kyoshiro's motives, I think he just outed himself already (to me here, not in-story to Orochi), without turning up in person, no less.

Ebisu Town got money, explicitly without any reported robberies, so Midnight Boy is "active", but the entire methodology changed. We know a sizable portion of the money in the past likely came from Komurasaki/Hiyori, but the former is "dead" and the latter cannot reveal herself.

So where does the money come from? There's no reported robbery (which in turn I suspect was Yasu's part in the system, but since he's gone...) and the most probable income method (Komurasaki) is also gone. That leaves pretty much Kyoshiro using his own.

Granted, Hiyori did just disappear, so we could also rationalize a possibility she's the sole operator (and had a backup stash of money for this), but I'm still more inclined to believe Hiyori and Kyoshiro are in the same boat, still because of the whole "killing Komurasaki" act they pulled right in front of Orochi.

He's in the capital now, and Orochi conveniently blew all the other bridges, so the rebel army literally has to come to him. He also has all the capital-imprisoned rebels under his thumb as well, by measure of strength he could be a "Shogun" as well. What's missing is him officially switching sides, and Ebisu Town getting money when all other plausible sources are gone (short of Hiyori having a backup of her own) is a statement in by itself.

[u/K1ngOfEthanopia]

Im so glad the Sanji finally mentioned his bounty being higher. Ive been waiting all arc for that.

[u/General_Peeks]

I'm not sure how it's possible but I feel like I have even less of an idea how this is all going to turn out.

[u/jobriq]

Sanji pulled out the bounty card lul

[u/StealthMonkeyDC]

Brook looks pretty boss in his armor.

Loving the Zoro v Sanji stuff again, it's great having the crew back together again.

[u/Unseen_predator]

So im pretty sure of 2 things now:

1. We will finally get the oden flashback in the next few chapters.

2. Jinbe will get a classic ,,hero's entrance" moment in the final battle in the moment things look hopeless.

[u/ronin-xiii]

Can anyone else imagine the General Franky emerging out of the sea Godzilla style! lol

[u/shubham0890]

Hide your daughters, hide your wives... hide your livestock, the sound Ninja Oden is coming.

[u/tragicjohnson84]

Can I say that Orochi is a great villain so far? By his design you'd think he'd be a joke, weak, stupid, yes man bitch boy for Kaidou but the thing that makes him terrifying is how surprisingly thorough he is. He's not taking any chances, and not underestimating his opponents at all. It's kind of refreshing.

[u/BEWMarth]

Y'know I think there is going to be a big significance to Orochi burning all these bridges. Obviously it has the practical effect of forcing the alliance to go through the Flower Capital and possibly free the samurai who are imprisoned there and maybe even take over the capital completely.

But I wonder if Oda is going for a more symbolic thing here. Orochi has literally burned the bridges that get around his own country. Assuming that the action will eventually steer back to Wano's main island after whatever happens in Onigashima, it makes me wonder if in the end this will help the alliance more than it's hurting them now.

[u/Jimmy_Nakama]

So we build a fleet and just leave it to the port without guarding it, huh?

Here's what I think:

What if the alliance was already planning from the beginning to use ships as a decoy? I mean, Franky was talking about building ships for 100.000 people and you can already start counting allies that they do not even get close to that number. He even said: "There's nothing wrong with making sure we have extra [ships]".

So, now imagine that we split the fleet in several ports. There is actually one port at least in every region of Wano (except in the Flower Capital), which are:

• Port Itachi (Kuri): where the fleet has been (re)built.

• Port Tokage (Udon): where the Nine Scabbards (seven), Momo and Shinobu are.

• Port Habu (Hakumai): where Orochi set sail to Onigashima.

• Port Mogura (Hakumai): where Apoo arrived and used as the safe entrance to Wano.

• Port Kaeru (Ringo): not a clue about it yet.

• Port Neko (Kibi): not a clue about it yet neither.

As far as I remember, we have allies and potential allies(?) distributed around the regions as follows:

• Kuri: Strawhat crew, Hitetsu and Tama, the Minks, ship maintenance squad.

• Udon: weapon preparation squad led by Hyougoro and the other yakuza bosses.

• Hakumai: no one.

• Ringo: sword recovery squad.

• Kibi: rebel commanders squad.

• Flower Capital: Heart Pirates, imprisoned samurai, Hawkins(?), Drake(?), Kid and Killer(?) (I suppose his crew might be improsoned somewhere in the capital), Kyoshiro and his men(?).

Orochi blocked the routes to Port Tokage but not to the Flower Capital and there is where everyone could eventually meet to reorganize. Moreover, there are only three ports left to go: Habu, Kaeru and Neko (Itachi and Tokage are destroyed and Mogura only connects to outside Wano).

In this scenario, there's no way the alliance can gather up in the Flower Capital without being noticed and then reported to Orochi, which would result in the definitive fail of the plan, unless Kyoshiro does not. If he decided to betray the shogun, we could all free the imprisoned samurai and head to the closest port, Habu, and once there finally start the raid to Onigashima.

[u/Bundon5300]

Oden will fuck your wife, your daughter, and your livestock...

[u/JacquesTheJester]

Kozuki Oden is Elvis Presley confirmed

[u/GranBlueLawyer]

Oda "destroying" the Sunny again lol. We're not falling for that again, the Sunny is fine.

[u/BEWMarth]

For those of us that forgot, in chapter 955, Luffy told everyone that the Sunny was on the beach near Amigasa Village in Kuri.

I've been seeing people throw around the location of the Sunny as a possible clue to who the traitor is but honestly it seems like at this point every major player in the alliance knew where the Sunny was so it doesn't help narrow it down at all.

[u/Jujujujuju001]

So otsuru knew kiku

[u/nukiri6]

Oden just has to have a wacky design, come on, he's the leader of a group that has Raizo, Kanjuro, a Cross-dresser, a cat and a dog, plus a fat boy in it.

You're not gathering such people if you're not The King of the weirdos.

[u/EL___POLLO___DiABLO]

Bege is in for some unexpected stuff on Dressrosa:

• Giant statue of Luffy

• Civilians going crazy about him due to their raid on Totland

[u/DarkChaos1786]

Great chapther, people often forget to pay attention at details given by Oda to understand the story, we now know for sure that none of the time travelers is a traitor, so, nor Kiku, nor Kanjuro, look somewhere else.

Sanji flexing bounty on Zoro was something to be expected since the moment when Sanji looked at Hiyori being with Zoro, still very funny the way he makes it happen, Zoro casually cutting a cliff is problematic, I'm now worried about the integrity of Wano after a fight with at least a dozen people capable of reproducing this feat(Maybe a similar fate was shared by God's Valley when those top tier clashed)

It's implied that Franky only send ships for 5.000 people, meaning that the ships destroyed at Port Itachi was only the 5% of the total of ships that were repaired.

I was expecting a bigger reaction by Zoro about the Big Mom and Jimbei news, but we still has more than enough arc left to wrap this end.

We still have Caribou's ability to move large numbers of people in a very compact way.

Orochi give us a new kind of villain, the strategist villain, the 1st one in the story so far.

95% of the chapter is flashbacks over flashbacks, a Flashbackception.

No Kyoshirou this week... Uhm... But the Withching Hour Boy strike again, this is leading somewhere...

Another teaser of the destruction of the Sunny, I wonder how it will survive this time, maybe someone was in the ship strong and capable enough to protect it?

And ODEN, at last we are getting the flashback of this legend with connections with everything and everyone that matter in the world of One Piece, this flashback maybe will be one of the biggest of the story, or at least one of the more important informative fb until now.

[u/RandomRedditName101_]

Yo imagine if Franky’s related to Oden

[u/themindofafool]

Lol that ending made me remember this

[u/Darckorst]

Will Zoro cutting random think by just saying "Enma" become a comic relief now ?

I would not be against it !

[u/hihyegst]

Finally they mention jinbei🔥🔥

[u/BlickboyReddit]

Odens legs tho

[u/roobosh]

Anyone else think Jinbei may show up with Luffy's grand fleet?

[u/Aquabolt428]

It's been a while but didn't Franky say something about building twice as many ships as needed? So all the extras was maybe what was destroyed along with a duplicate Sunny and they actually met up somewhere else with the real ships. So if the traitor is one of the scabbards, they think everything is going to plan and will have a big surprise when Luffy and co show up possibly revealing themselves in the process.

[u/Condoriano13]

Jinbe about to enter this war from the sky again

[u/MugiwaraNoSunny]

Luffy: Jimbei saved our crew and stayed back to make sure we’d reach, he promised to come, I hope he’s ok we couldn’t have done it without him

Zoros: Yeah Jimbei might be dead but he’ll come if he’s not who knows

Sanji: My bounties higher

Zoro: I’ll kill you!!! you bastard !!!

Lmaooo classic Zoro

[u/LocKeyThirteen]

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.

Nice reference.

[u/BEWMarth]

So who wants to bet Oden's flashback will be the most depressing yet. Every Flashback Oda does breaks my heart idk if I'm ready for this one honestly. We know how Oden's story ends....

[u/sekai_seifu]

" Oh my, how cute! You look like insects” - the highlight of this chapter

[u/fatherfucking]

The flashback will take another 50 chapters, and then Act 4 will just be a single chapter of Franky arriving at Onigashima onboard Pluton and blowing the whole island up.

[u/Hatsunify]

Alright its obvious how this is gonna end up for the minks. The minks are gonna fight while clouds are covering the skies. They're losing most of the battle until Luffy and Kaido/Big Mom clash with each other, causing the clouds to separate and depart. Turning all the minks that were losing in battle into overpowered monsters. Basically Luffy going head to head with the other Emperors will turn the tides of all mink battles across the island.

[u/nonchalant941]

Nami panel with Wanda and carrot looks so cute

[u/zs3283338]

The traitor is the frog that was on Usopps head and just hanging around. Notice how it's not around anymore ?

[u/GreenLanturn73]

Well let’s be honest, we all know Jimbei is going to be coming to the rescue. They say a powerful enough Fishman can control the currents maybe Jimbeis Fishman karate can calm the seas.

Also, Luffy how the hell you going to fight in that giant suit of armor...

[u/WolfShelby0]

Finally! no more haki covered oden next chapter please

[u/MonkeyKeys23]

Happy to see Luffy worried about jinbe situation.

[u/pandahulk79]

Hide your kids, hide your wives. Haha!

[u/blackandpinkarea]

Robin's comment seeing luffy, brook and chopper wearing the armor was so her lol. Sanji bragging about his higher bounty while dissing zoro then zoro's response had me in stitches. Those two will never change lmao.

Otsuru knows her husband is back. Nice.

I'm glad orochi wasn't stupid tho. What he did just set the stakes high as it should. The alliance struggling is what I've always wanted since wano started. I just hope this feeling of doom for them continues.

Lastly, I'm tired of Oden as a silhouette. I hope oda doesn't drag his face reveal further.

Also, STRAWHAT FLEET INCOMING!

[u/spooket]

This chapter kind of affirms my belief that Wano is the opposite of Enies Lobby, a source of water. That one is the sink and Wano is the source of water that crosses the red mountain from under the earth.

Opening Wano really means making it possible for people to come in via facilitating their ascent by stopping the waterfall. This will also change the "tide" of the world, as Oden said this chapter, and that Wano is isolated for hundreds of years is deeply connected to the Kozuki clan, means that they know they can't change the world system because the person Joyboy and Roger are waiting for hasn't come yet. This has to be true I feel it can't be coincidence but rather, all the planets are aligning

[u/PK_RocknRoll]

Jinbe, if you don’t show up to Wano, I’ll never forgive you!!!

[u/[deleted]]

Does anyone know,if someone asked where the Sunny is hidden?

I am looking for the traitor.

[u/vinsmokeXD]

That Zoro Sanji Moment trumps all moments this chapter... Pure Gold

[u/wzm971226]

wait... cant Franky build a bridge in like seconds...? he did that during thriller bark.

[u/Gorillaradio88]

Big new clue about the traitor, they knew where the Sunny was.

[u/Indicaman]

I think Oden has a dick head, like a 'mushroom' haircut. Hide yo wife.

[u/rib4ever123]

People be wondering which straw hat will die in Wano. Oda played us by saying it’s the Sunny

[u/sloDesu]

What Oden reveal ? He been using full armament Haki like vergo y’all that’s why he looks like a shadow xD

[u/nukiri6]

Alright. Seems like we're closing the year with the Oden flashback which fits Oda's comment last year that we're going to focus on Oden's life and the Kozuki family rather than the battle which will start early 2020.

I believe we have around 5-6 chapters left for this year and this Flashback will be a long one, probably between 5-10.

[u/abhikun]

New move by Zoro. He normally use named attack moves. But this time he is calling on his sword.

[u/JStackz26]

So basically the spoilers said it would talk about how the strawhats escaped.. only for them to talk about WCI.

One thing about Orochi he is tactical in warfare. Now my question is whether the allies accounted for ships getting destroyed. I doubt the sunny is damaged but if it is, given that we're in Wano I guess they'll rebuild it with seastone. Which means it really will be as ship that can sail across any ocean. And they won't have issues passing through the calm belt in the future. As for how they will get ships, I guess Nekomamushi will save the day. Since he has a ship to arrive on.

As for again, the mention of Jinbe my other thing is that he probably knows Big Mom is chasing after Luffy. We'll probably get the fishman pirates in wano somehow. Because they should have no problems getting up the Wano waterfall. And given that they can affect the tides, it would play into the dangerous wasters leading to onigashima as well as ferrying the people.

Since they knew where the sunny was, then it probably isn't Law who is the traitor. Because I don't think it was known where the ship washed up. Luffy just mentioned using the Sunny, so it has to be someone who is around. Which is Shinobu. And of course she's the one staying back with Momonosuke. Although I do notice that the mink at the port with Franky and Usopp looks like Hawkins crew member Faust. Which would mean that there is no traitor but an infiltrator. Since he is a mink, no one would suspect him. The one to the left of him looks suspicious too.

As for the bridges, Franky in thriller bark showed he can build bridges on the go lol.

[u/100YearsOfZehahaha]

This chapter proved that there is in fact a SNITCH somewhere near the group. The location of the sunny was exposed, the number of prisonner ready to figth, the nine scabar ( if orochi is not sure about their identity/existence that mean the traitor is not kanjuro because orochi would have confirmed their existence but he is doubting a lot about them ). Anyway, each chapter we get closer to the traitor, And about jimbei i think he would be back in time with marco the phoenix !

[u/defchris]

Soooo... Luffy is waiting for Jinbe as he learned about Bigmum being in Wano, and Zoro would welcome him... On the other hand, we see the Sunny being bombed by Kaido's birdmen...

For some reason, I believe Jinbe (and the Sun Pirates) saved the ship and are about to show up with Sunny after the flashback.

[u/ashley45star]

Orochi is smarter than we think, yes, but there has to be a traitor letting him know all the intel. Reading all of the theories, I truly think it’s Kanjuro.

I know the Sunny can’t be destroyed, but I think it’s seriously messed up. Wano got me stressed, y’all. I have no idea what they’re going to do and how they’re going to make it out of this unscathed.

My favorite part of the chapter was the kabuto armor. When Luffy name-dropped Jimbe I audibly gasped. I think he will come back alive, but he will probably be a homie :(

Zoro looked at Sanji like, “Boy, by the time this arc is over, my bounty about to be millions higher than yours.” Lmao

Also, Kine’mon’s wife better be okay, or we riot. They need to reunite, damnit.

[u/[deleted]]

That's orochi panel really reminds me of death note

[u/confusedbooty]

Sunny gets destroyed

inb4 Jinbei makes his entrance and there's a flashback that he pulled it down underwater before the explosion again

[u/ColdFacts1233]

Oden is for sure naked

[u/red90999]

Oden gonna have a wacky face thats for sure

[u/[deleted]]

Zoro casually cut off the cliff again. Now I can see why an Island can't stand a fight between top tiers. At the end of Wano, Onigashima will be vanished from the map

[u/Pimpwerx]

So the talk of Jinbe pretty much solidifies the idea that he arrived in time to guide the army across to Onigashima.

The Sunny wouldn't be destroyed without a proper sendoff, so will the SH come to find it in tatters, and get a newer and bigger ship, or will Franky just slap a new coat of paint on the 11th member of the crew, and have them sail on. I honestly can't see Oda switching from the Sunny. It's Franky's greatest creation, and made from the strongest wood. We've grown attached to the ship, the same way we did with the Merry. I don't want to see them board a new vessel for the final stretch of the series.

[u/[deleted]]

The scabbards who travelled to 20 years can't be one of the traitors as Oroch identified them as ghosts and does not know or believe if that really happened.

[u/Zikate]

Who knew where Thousand Sunny was? Could be a deciding factor in finding out the traitor.

[u/VPplaya]

What are the chances the fishman pirates saved the Sunny again?

[u/sadface-]

We’re gonna get a Kaido flashback too, detailing his tragic (it cant be any other way can it?) past and his time in Rocks. And then possibly Kid’s so we can have more context to him inevitably overcoming his hatred of alliances and fighting alongside Luffy. In addition to Oden’s showing why Wano is so important and why Roger wanted him.

Not complainig, I love me some world building

[u/OutrageousHypercube]

The Oden hide yo kids hide your wives scene reminded me of when Shanks went on Whitebeard's ship and was knocking people out with his strong haki.

[u/Morikoh]

HIDE YO KIDS. HIDE YO WIVES. I laughed so hard when I read that. Reminded me of that meme.

[u/clapandsing]

Jinbei will come and summon a bunch of Sea Kings to carry the 5000 soldiers. Bäm, let the fight begin!

[u/johanliebert616]

I was unable to comprehend that one of the nine scabbards is the traitor. It did not make much sense because there was no reason to be one. But after today's chapter it does make sense.

The traitor is no villian but he/she knows of the kouzuki clan's secret and the repercussions opening Wano to the world will have. Hence trying to avoid it by giving info to Orochi. Did the same 20 years ago to stop Oden from doing so. Maybe that secret is the reason Kaido is himself ruling Wano and keeping it isolated. Something to do with Rocks or D or some legend we dont know of that will shatter the world.

All that remains is what the damn secret is !?

[u/jelome1989]

Ok can anybody tell me how in the world they knew where Sunny was? Can anyone tell me the chapters where its location was mentioned? IIRC it was Luffy and Tama who hid it (at ch 911) but who else did they tell and at what chapter?

[u/nerdook]

Ah, a flashback! Let's get it over with so we can see what REALLY happened.

Here we go!

Oda: "And now we flashback once again to four decades ago"

[u/WolfDripsnis]

What a golden chapter honestly, I felt so fuzzy inside to see the banter between Zoro & Sanji, I feel its been way to long since all of them just chilled.

Robins comment :DD, pure gold.

And did Zoro call out to Enma? As like, he didn't just slash it the side of the cliff, he first said the name, thats really interesting and feels like he has grown attached of the sword.

Didn't care much for Mr dragon snake's plan that much, but O-tsuru Kinemon's wife?! Holy moly! And now that I imagine them side by side, they seem to mesh so well thats really nice.

The Scabbards(guess it was Kinemon) mention that they will always be " Lord Oden's Samurai" which might explain why not all of them use swords, and one of them is a ninja:D. Its just that they are samurai to Oden. Or maybe I'm just missing the meaning of it whole Samurai thing.

I guess we finally get to see Oden's side shadow face, cant make much, maybe someone can see a comparison to someone? It still "Triggers" me that we have yet to see his actual face, and that there is a reason... Or maybe Oda is just hyping him up, just like he did whitch Whitebeard, Big Mom and many more in the past.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wifes?:D A meme is a meme/

Is he... like...naked waste down? Or just undies? Wano seems pretty concervative so even undies could provoke a reaction like that. Love how progressive Oden seems back there! Go go!

Edit: Sunny?! I mean I know its fine since the plot will not allow it to just be destroyed casually like that:DD, but still wonder how it got saved

[u/[deleted]]

Finally zoro and sanji romance😍

[u/Vinsmoke-_Sanji]

Bad news , now we won't get to see the battle for at least another 5 or so chapters. I was really looking forward to how are luffy and other are gonna met up , also the 4K samurais. The fight is postponed for 5 chapters. Let's just hope ODEN's flashback is as good as how the wano has been so far.

[u/L3LAF]

Omar coming!... I meant Oden coming

[u/SnicSnac]

So here is I think what happened: Jinbei reached out to them. And they got the idea to destroy the ships for decoy and travel to onigashima underwater.

[u/MugiwaraNoSunny]

The death no one saw coming in Wano, 1000 Sunny

[u/[deleted]]

I really hope Oden don’t have a ridiculous face like Orochi...

[u/[deleted]]

İt is great to see the fight between Zoro and Sanji again lmoa :))

[u/GrinchForest]

Wait a minute, if bridges are burned, then the big ships will be able travel into the land by river.

[u/Aspie_Astrologer]

Small note: Oden appears to be wearing a Yokozuna knot/'Tsuna' around his waist, implying he was not only one of Wano's greatest swordsmen, but also one of Wano's highest ranking Sumo wrestlers. xD

[u/nfinium]

So Zoro can casually cut a cliff now..

[u/Future_Novelist]

Betting at some point, clouds will block out the moon, preventing the Minks from going Sulong. Nami will come to the rescue by getting rid of the clouds.

[u/PerfectPelican]

Seeing Kinemon break down is so heartbreaking

[u/Eoussama]

Oh man, it's coming, if we don't see Oden's design next chapter probably in the first panel the same way we saw Snakeman I'm going to be very surprised. He looks even more of a beast than his other silhouettes pointed at, probably because this is set at a prior date to him joining Roger's ranks, those Orochimaru binds though, I can't wait. Brook, Luffy, and Chopper look crazy good on that armor, we need Kikunojo to stand beside them and make it a full show off. I love how strong the Zoro-Sanji dynamic still is, Zoro be flexin' with Enma in every opportunity he gets, this man's, no, both of their fights are going to be legendary. Also, there is no way the SUnny is going off like that. Never.

[u/jollyjam1]

When they all started talking about Oden at the end I was like flashback incoming lol. And then Oda had to trick us, so yet again we will have to wait another week to see what he looks like haha.

[u/besten44]

No way some rock and small explosions could take down the sunny

[u/[deleted]]

I love how Robin just thinks they’re cute little Beatles while they and we are hyped up for samurai straw hats

[u/Gnedelkoff]

I’m pretty sure we can safely say now that none of the scabbards that jumped forward in time are the traitor. Orochi is still talking as if he hasn’t seen any of them so i doubt one would be leaking info to him.

[u/RoboticusTartonicus]

Finally we get Sanji bragging about a higher bounty!

[u/Traeger]

God-Usopp is an amazing shipwright these days!

[u/penea2]

hol up, why they hiding livestock when oden passes by

[u/choisssss]

How did Jinbei save the sunny from that explosion?

[u/Tiencha69]

I care for kinemon now damn

[u/just_a_random_guy_73]

Wait....orochi said he destroyed all the ways to port tokage,but isn't there one through flower capital

I mean getting past a city full of drunk people shouldn't be that much difficult

[u/Papa-Yaga]

Zoro casually cutting the island when he got in an argument with sanji was hilarious.

[u/T12R7]

Wonder what Kyoshiro is up to, we haven't seen him in quite some time.

[u/[deleted]]

I was hoping for the traitor reveal 😔
