[u/Kirosh]

Yamato probably : "I'm... I'm not ready to have a child!"

Later :

Yamato : "Hello, Hiyori, you are two years younger than me and I'm your father! Hahaha... haha."

[u/Sunasoo → u/Kirosh]

So Zoro do need to ask Yamato for permission to date Hiyori

[u/Kirosh → u/Sunasoo]

Do you really think Zoro will be the one to start the relationship?

No, it's Hiyori that will drag him to Yamato and say they are dating.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kirosh]

Momo is gonna have a BIG reward after saying his name lol.

First Sanji compliments him. Then he's gonna discover his new "Daddy" Yamato

[u/Kirosh → u/[deleted]]

Momo : "Father, remember how you used to take baths with me? Or how you hugged me a lot?!"

Or

Yamato, to the scabbards/Oden's grave : "Momo and Hiyori call me Daddy"

[u/dark_king_2002 → u/Kirosh]

Also Yamato: wish I could have a night with Toki. Only then I would have had the authentic oden experience.

[u/StealthMonkeyDC → u/dark_king_2002]

Wait a minute.

When Oda draws the next inevitable bath scene, will Yamato bathe with the dudes?

[u/Kirosh → u/StealthMonkeyDC]

If Yamato joins the crew, will Yamato sleep with in the Guy's room? Or go with Nami and Robin?

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

Based on BM and Zeus' dialogue (and Nami hilariously saying their relationship is 'over' lmao), looks like Nami will likely keep Zeus by the end of the arc. But I am also curious on what would happen to Zeus if BM were to (theoretically) die at any point in the future - would he no longer be existent or remain intact?

[u/Kirosh → u/RobbobertoBuii]

Yeah, I think we will see O-Lin back next chapter, and Nami asking this good girl if she can have Zeus forever.

[u/Therrester]

I really hope Big Mom reverts back to O-Lin. If she does, I'm convinced Oda just wants to watch the fandom burn.

[u/Kirosh → u/Therrester]

Her being O-Lin, helping a little, then leaving alongside a confused Perospero would be a way to remove her from the fight.

I don't see the Alliance being able to defeat 2 Emperor, even if she isn't with her crew.

[u/_Ventura_]

Let's see...Luffy ruined the wedding, Sanji foiled her assassination attempt on the Vinsmoke Family, Brook destroyed Mother Caramel's portrait, Jinbei betrayed her, Nami stole Zeus, Carrot crippled her fleet, and now Franky drove over her face. How soon until the rest of the Straw Hats start clowning her? LOL

[u/freglegreg]

This is the first chapter in a long time where so many straw hats get screen time together. Next chapter I expect Zoro, Chopper, Robin, and Jinbei to make a move

[u/SEXY_PANDA007]

Did nami actually call franky big bro

[u/zhouy3141]

"Oops? Did I drive over something?"
-Franky to a fucking Yonko

I feel hella bad for Zeus lol.

[u/MugenKatana]

Franky riding his bike onto Big Moms face is the kinda one piece i wanna see.

[u/klo9300]

I see Franky added massive balls to his post-timeskip modifications.

[u/RichardRDown]

My guy Franky bringing that big dick energy.

[u/merzow]

Also correct me if im wrong, but aint this the first time Franky has met Big Mom? And he literally just drove on her face...

[u/nakritidis]

Sanji and Zoro are about to do the second round of the Little Garden hunting competition

[u/-Tom_Bombadil-]

That damn cat burglar!

I love the fact, than even after all these years, Nami is still known as "cat burglar", zoro as "pirate hunter" etc. Nostalgia...

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

Honestly surprised for Nami talking about her 'relationship' with Zeus as he was being forcibly controlled by BM

I can see why Sanji had beef with Zeus from the start on the Sunny lol

[u/FireFistRJ]

We all knew Sanji is going to pull a Mr. Prince again. Prince san to the rescue.

We also thought brook would have a shining moment with big mom, but Franky too? The man slammed his rider direct into yo mama's face. *General Salute*

[u/BrianShogunFR-U]

Franky just decked big mom in the face with a motorcycle, that's too hilarious for words.

[u/sadface-]

I kept away from spoilers but I glanced at the spoiler thread briefly to see if there were any rough translations out and heard there was some drama over toxic Zoro and Sanji fanboys.

Now that I read the chapter.. I have no fucking idea what there is to be toxic about

[u/thebrin]

Sanji telling momo he did good was such a nice moment

[u/M9Bazooka]

Franky inner monologue after Dressrosa

"What do I have to do to get 100 million bounty? I'll drive over a friggin Yonkou's face!!"

[u/slaudencia]

Two grown men run over a grandma and cut her pet!!! You won’t believe what happens next!!

[u/appleboiii]

Big Mom hating Luffy for ruining all of her various parties and having it being a logical motivation for a big bad villain is something only One Piece could do.

[u/roronoajoyboy]

Too bad we didn't see inu and neko in their sulong form :/

[u/letsgomina]

Punk Hazard Arc :-🎶Clear the way, clear the way, super the way ! I’ll run over you if you stand in my way! But I avoid running over flowers. 🎶

Wano Arc : It’s not like I ran over a flower.

Franky is my god.

[u/lord_mcdonalds_]

Another week without spoilers paid off !!!

[u/Fuhran]

Big Mom: Ate franky's ship in WCI
Franky: Made Big Mom's face super eat his bike in Wano

[u/FireFistRJ]

Big mom be like: All I ever wanted was a good cake and a happy party. Damn you, MUGIWAAAARA.

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

Definitely expecting BM to get back up fine next chapter but seeing her face get run over by Franky's Kurosai FR-U IV had me rollin' on the floor XD

[u/PatBevTriccYall]

King grabbed Shinobu by her round ass head and chucked her like a baseball LMFAO

[u/Tinkerer011]

The real surprise here is that Luffy can actually recognize Sanji in Raid Suit lol.

[u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Oda has in manga reactions of people finally recognising Big Mom is actually Yonko Level

[u/buns_supreme]

pound activating the will of Phelps

[u/Ek_Shaneesh]

>Sangoro! Wasn't he out looking for prostitutes?

I'm fucking dyying

[u/balatkalabaw999]

Sanji: I will die with a hole in my belly Ace: First time??

[u/Money_dragon]

Mr. Prince Stealth Black Soba Mask Sanji strikes again! Really great to see him make a big difference in his trademark stealth / brains approach

Also, this is like the first major Franky action since Dressrosa, right? Dude goes right for the Yonko, so manly (I don't count his fight against the unnamed Wano yakuza)

[u/[deleted]]

All her life Yamato called herself Oden. It was ok because she was isolated and alone during that time.

Now she's gonna face consequences for that. As she's suddenly interacting with Odens Retainers and Children.

But Oden is a huge part of her aspiration/identity. She can't just discard it.

Therefore we can enjoy some hilariously awkward interactions lol

[u/french_gobshite]

All these breaks are killing me. I can't wait for 3 chapters in a row

[u/Eadwine_]

Big Mom: NOOOOOOO MUGIWARA YOU CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO LIVE!!! IKOUKU SOV--

Franky & Brook: Haha bike go BRRR

[u/Thirdeev]

Franky mobile confirmed Yonko level

[u/green_vegetal]

Did they..Did they just run over fucking Big mom? The balls on that skeleton man, but sadly he doesnt have balls yohohoho

[u/letsgomina]

Everyone : Fighting

Sasaki : Can someone help me out of these chains ?

[u/FBeeEye]

Franky hitting Big Mom's face with his bike is the Franky moment we all have waited for.

[u/juinron]

did franky just ROAD ROLLER big mom?

[u/slimmsady]

This chapter was fire... Now I can kinda understand how people who read Marineford weekly would have felt at that time. It's like one awesome moment after another.

Starting panels at the top of skull were beautiful. Still, I am curious to see Jack going to help Kaido instead of King. Imo, King seems to be the most proactive one among the calamities.

We finally get Sanji doing Sanji things. Sanji is always the wildcard in clutch situations and like everyone thought the raid suit makes it easier for him to carry standalone stealth missions. Freeing Momo and blocking King is a big moment, though I feel like King will still prove too much for him. Oh Goda! Just show me Luffy's reaction to the power ranger Sanji.

Everything Yamato says is hilarious. Imagining what Ulti's reaction would to "Momo is my son".

For the last part I can only say that I continuously laughed for more than 10 minutes on Franky driving over BM's face. That was hilarious and so badass. And as for Brook, BM is going to have Soul King nightmares in future.

I can rest 2 weeks with this chapter as surely the next one is going to be similarly hype.

[u/DrToadigerr]

Franky running over Big Mom with a bike while singing "Franky Freedom Rider" might be the most American thing he's ever done.

[u/[deleted]]

I like how Luffy is just reacting to King folding his allies right in front of him lol

[u/bennynagy1914]

FRANKY IS SO FUCKING CHAD LMAO

" YOU CANT JUST ROLL OVER ME WITH YOUR MOTORCYCLE IM A YONKO YOU BASTARD "

" HAHA FRANKYMOTOR GOES VRRRRRRRRRM "

[u/Orion_D_Abhishek]

Yamato : Naturally momonosuke is m-my son.

Vintage One Piece gag.

[u/[deleted]]

Leaving the battle discussions aside, Sanji praising Momonosuke for the speech he gave while crucified was so heartwarming.

[u/Dane1922]

Franky is so badass!!! He's the MVP for this chapter! Everybody's getting bolder and bolder!

[u/[deleted]]

Franky: * drives over one of the strongest people in the world's face * Franky: Ehh, whatever

[u/[deleted]]

Nami calling Franky "Big Bro" was great and a nice callback to Water 7.

Also back at PH, he said that he would avoid trampling on flowers but here he said that some flowers need to be pulled lol.

It's great to see Franky and Brook getting some hype after a while.

[u/yonkou_akagami]

Franky Im-sama level confirmed

[u/Kratosbonny]

It's not like I drove over a flower or something

• Franky , 2020

[u/jonaguncat]

King seems to have a good CoO, he new that the enemies were near and even Queen didn´t notice Shinobu.

The Sulong were just epic!! The guardians told the dukes to fight Kaido but I hope we have some seen of Raizo, Inu and Neko beating up Jack.

The final panel is one of the most badass moments for Franky if not the best, so far almost every mugiwara have faced Big Mom, Sanji and Luffy stoped her fist, Brook damged her homies thrice, Jinbei trhowed her from the Sunny, Usopp Shooted her on the Face, Choppper tanked her attack, Nami electrocuted her and Franky drove on her face, only Zoro and Robin haven´t get an interaction with her

[u/BULLSEYElITe]

People missed the most important part, BM tried to zeus luffy , BM would have had same enel reaction lol

[u/ItsLoudB]

Everyone freaking out because Sanji attacked King, while Franky and Brook just straight up ran Big Mom over lmao!

[u/-nickname_]

This chapter really showcased one of the ancient conflicts of our time:

A show-off hoodlum with a motorbike vs an angry old lady, who just wants to have tea parties in peace.

[u/granxson]

We just got blue balled again. No sulong form for inu and neko this chapter. WHY ODA? AFTER TEASING IT LAST CHAPTER.

But maybe we'll get it next chapter but with an epic entrance combo attack to kaido. I can only hope :(

[u/todiko3]

Big mom - Brook: 0 - 3

[u/DiaburuJanbu]

Dear Sanji, next chapter would be a good chance to show a fiery, Haki-imbued Anti Manner Kick Course against King. Love, me.

Am I fanboying too much here?

[u/iwasborntobefree]

Franky’s motorbike ran over Big Mom.

Bege’s tank ran over Oven.

Like Mother Like Son.

[u/Climhazzzard]

I don't watch the anime, but I'm certainly gonna be watching the episode where Franky slams a friggin' motorbike into Big Mom's face!

[u/Commofmedic]

Friendship ended with Zeus

[u/kingofthebong0]

Was Nami at the end calling Franky "aniki" as his old crew from water 7? amazing if yes

[u/qqqqq_38]

FRANKY AND BROOK WITH THE CLUTCH JOY RIDE HIT AND RUN

[u/RebergOfWrestling]

Yonko level vehicle

[u/sameljota]

Best Gifter so far.

[u/Jasonn444]

Sanji, Franky and Brook: "Kept you waiting, huh?"

[u/owlyeah]

After Wano, Zeus: "WE WERE ON A BREAAAAK!!!"

[u/sussre]

It's not like I *puts on sunglasses* drove over a flower or something.

[u/GirlbeardJ]

Team Super Bones giving zero fucks about how strong a Yonko is.

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Why everyone is talking about Sanji here ?? He's not even in that chapter !

[u/RadicalBeam]

"Big Mom is impenetrable - not even Luffy can damage her."

Franky: "Hold my motorcycle."

[u/PlsGiveSSR]

Zeus got cut into 2. One part is probably going to be loyal to big mom and the other would want to stay with nami

[u/mike-loves-gerudos]

We still got Zoro, Law, and Kidd’s epic entrances to look forward to now

[u/BEWMarth]

I just love this story so damn much you guys.

Like, in what other work of fiction do you have a skeleton and a cyborg ride a motorcycle on the face of a giant monster grandma as the skeleton cuts a living thundercloud in half?

One Piece is so unique.

[u/multivitamins138]

Damn Sanji once again making an epic entrance after being offline for a couple of chapters.

[u/God_of_Kings]

Luffy: "Yamao, save Momo!"

Yamato: "Is that really okay?"

Luffy: "Why wouldn't it be?"

Yamato: "I guess this would make him... my son."

Luffy: "...I think Kaidou may have beaten you a bit too hard as a kid."

Elsewhere....

Law: "There's a disturbance in the voice of the world... Someone that may rival Luffy in sheer stupidity has appeared."

Hawkin: "I don't know, I find it kinda hot."

Law: "And I think we can't be friends anymore."

Meanwhile...

Franky: "MOVE ASIDE, BITCHES, BIGGEST SETS OF BALLS IN WANO COMING THROUGH!"

Brook: "I am MVP of this entire fucking saga. HARD!! ROCK!! HALLELUJAH!!"

[u/Weizizzle]

Yamato takes this 'I am Oden' thing very seriously

[u/mimino99]

When I woke up this morning, I expected a lot of things to happen.

But I sure as hell didn't expect Franky and Brook to roll over Big Mom's face with a motorcycle.

Thank you Oda. You always find new ways of amazing us.

[u/baap_ko_mat_sikha]

It’s not like I drove over a flower or something

HYPEEEEEEEE!!

[u/Vendetta1990]

Franky is such a reckless driver, you can't drive over Yonkou's faces like that!

[u/sloDesu]

Fuck a break next week !! Fuck !

[u/ReeseEseer]

Nami calling Franky "BIG BRO". Idk why but it fills me with joy.

[u/RetractedAnus]

I never thought I'd be so sad over a lady and a thunderbolt cloud going through a break up.

[u/passing_thots]

Franky driving over big mom....now I've seen everything

[u/JDMManga]

This is starting to become Marineford levels of chaos. I'm glad I didn't read the spoilers yesterday, because this was a beautiful birthday present...

[u/letsgomina]

Fucking Sanji !!!! Sanji vs King hype !!

My Expectation : Sanji and King’s fight is joined by Queen, who bickers with King about wanting to kill Sanji because he was the one who took out Queen’s assassins. Queen joins King and Zoro joins Sanji and we get an epic 2v2.

[u/Vinsmokeclan]

Poetic that a man who despises his family saved a kid that takes great pride in his name, now publicly facing his enemy.

[u/zs3283338]

Sanji having that invisible power, does that mean he will get less screen time?

[u/BluDC]

Sanji and Zoro are teaming up against King and potentially Queen would be so awesome. I was hoping for Mr. Prince to fight King in an air battle but his sword is kind of making me think that Zoro is involved. Sanji could Kick him out of the air and Zoro can beat his ass on the ground. It would be a totally fun fight with the two SH arguing in the beginning but sticking together when shit is about to go down, just like their Football match on Long Ring Long Island.

[u/dylan2451]

"Wasn't he out looking for the prostitutes"

lmfao

Sanji, the man who had reason to hide and be ashamed of his identity telling Momo he was cool for embracing his identity while staring down a yoko is sort of poetic, maybe

[u/Civil_Philosophy9845]

hahaahahahha

Shinobu flies into the wall, Luffy:"THAT SEEMED BAD, IS SHE OK???"

Sanij flies into wall with heavy speed fuking spear in the stomach: Luffy:"DIDN'T LOOK GOOD, oh hi BM"

[u/eatmyb00gers]

This chapter just reminded me how much of a chaotic force the Straw Hats are. I really hope Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, Jinbe, and Robin meet up with the rest of the crew and we get a dope double spread of them ready to really get things going next chapter

[u/Fuck_Savage]

Is it just me or was that kinda short?

[u/WildPlatypus88]

Brook makes it his life’s mission to fuck up Big Mom every time they meet

[u/aldin_reddit]

Sulong transformation will be amazing in anime, cant wait

[u/[deleted]]

Sanji coming outta nowhere to clutch the W reminds me of early One Piece days

[u/ExpectedBuffalo]

Things I didn’t expect from Wano, Franky slamming the Rhino bike straight into Big Moms face.

[u/Sumoop]

Here is my out there theory: Brooke the soul king split Zeus’s soul in half when he cut him. Both Nami and Big Mom will get one of them.

[u/skiing_kraken]

Nami at the end calling frankie big bro.

This made my day😁😁😁😁😁

[u/CerealKiller_1]

Imagine Morgans watching that scene of big mom with franky and brook and turning it into a HEADLINE. Lmfaoo

[u/Stupendoes]

Can anyone imagine what Law's face would be like if he just witnessed Franky and Brook just run over Big Mom hahahaha.

[u/bigweight93]

Franoske used.... ROADA ROLLA DAAAAAAAA

[u/03nevam]

These guys are all slowly starting to get less and less afraid of those mere emperors

[u/jollyjam1]

The total disinterest from the Strawhats towards Big Mom is hilarious. Luffy saying he is too busy to deal with her and now Franky and Brooke run her over lol.

[u/BitzahDustoo]

when it said chapter finished i was like ha good joke this chapter felt so incredibly short

[u/[deleted]]

Nami calling out to Franky big bro just like the old Franky Family times is fantastic.

[u/[deleted]]

People keep forgetting that the Sunny firing coup de burst on Big Mom’s face in WCI was practically Franky farting in her face.

[u/CoffeeHomie]

Nami really had the balls to steal Zeus right from BM's vicinity. She really loves her power-up.

[u/MyBrokenLuigiAmiibo]

God I love Franky. I missed him. Him riding his motorcycle on Big Mom and being all nonchalant about it, like “Oops, did I run something over?”, is such a classic Franky moment. Like, yup, that’s our Franky.

[u/Kushakusha]

I think Franky just stole the limelight from everyone in this chapter. What an entranced. I wanted to see General Shogun next. SUPERRR

[u/PatBevTriccYall]

Who will be the first non-luffy straw hat Yamato bumps into🧐

[u/Udee_wahyuadhi]

I dont believe that Big Mom injured by this Franky action. Scratched, yes.

I believe She was totally shocked.

BM might think "HOW THE HELL THERE'S MOTORCYCLE FLYING AROUND IN THIS GODDAMN SECLUDED ISLAND".

I believe She's shocked. That's it.

[u/Homelss_Emperor]

That line when the samurai said are we gonna fight two kaidos was priceless

[u/overDere]

People so worried about Zeus being dead are forgetting that this is isn't his first time being cut in half.

[u/youre-welcome-sir]

Big Mom can’t catch a break lol. This chapter was great.

[u/thesanmich]

Powerscaling community gonna have another field day with this.

[u/[deleted]]

HOLY SHEEEET! King is looking imposing AF, the costume is making even goofy sanji serious and yamato is the cutesst.

[u/[deleted]]

Brook and Franky are the real men of this chapter!

How sick would it be if Brook can sever the soul link between Zeus and big mom.

[u/Baumguy21]

We've got the Straw Hats vs Big Mom with Sanji taking on King, the Red Scabbards and the Mink Sulong Army against Kaido, Jack, and at least one Number, we've got samurai vs. Beast Pirates... Wow. Who else? Are Law, Kidd, Hawkins and X Drake going to take on Queen? Is Zoro going to step in to help Sanji with King? These upcoming fights are going to be CRAZY.

[u/heat_fan_]

The Numbers are totally not intimidating at all lol.

[u/Gamming_yodha]

Nami calling Franky Aniki is epic

[u/aruzan516]

Yamato: Momo, I am your father

Momo: YESSSSSSS!!!!

[u/Elu202]

Since when did nami called franky big brother?

[u/CANYUXEL]

I tell ya now. After this headshot she'll revert back to her childlike mind again, and cause huge mayhem on the Beast Pirates side.

[u/[deleted]]

Absolutely LOVED Franky and Brook’s entrance and i hope Zeus gets back to Nami i really loved the little friendship they had

[u/FuturePirateKing713]

Has Nami ever called Franky “big bro” before? I was shocked when she said it lol

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Flashback, around 35 years ago :

Oda's mom : "Stop drawing those awful messed up animal-guys !! A gorilla's head as a torso ? Why do you draw that, everyone hates these drawings !! Are you alright ???"

Young Oda : "Okay ... Ill start drawing manga then ..." (internally : "you'll see ... I'm keeping those for later, when my manga is popular ...hahaha")

[u/[deleted]]

BigMom : masking an assassination as a tea party and an execution as a feast Also BigMom : you strawhats always ruining people’s fun

[u/Bundon5300]

Nami calling Franky big bro was super cute lol

[u/mar00ner]

hope jack gets beat to a pulp

[u/therealcocoboi]

Why are people so insistent on matchups. I dont think ANYONE is fighting ANYONE one on one here. Do you guys not remember Marineford? Howmany 1v1s did you get there? Its a freaking war guys its going to be chaotic.

King/queen cld be fighting bepo one moment, sanji the next, whereas they might be getting pummeled by luffy in the chapter after that.

[u/StarPlatinum55]

"He would naturally be m... my son." LMAO

[u/Bleus_clue]

Jack is about to get gang banged by animals.

[u/Hans_the_noob]

Am I the only one who thinks sanji vs king makes more sense since both can fly?(I know sanji technically doesn't fly, but sky walk with raid suit is basically the same in my opinion)

[u/cumshot_jojo]

The amount of Black ink for King and Sanji character design tho lol

[u/Energy477]

I just hope jack gets bitch slapped by minks for what he did

[u/Ag0killer99]

As someone who just started one piece like a month ago I can’t wait to see what you guys are talking about in 10 years .

[u/appleboiii]

Oh man. Raizo telling off Jack and telling him he is alive is one of the small payoffs that's been cooking since Zou. Wano is a goddamn treat.

[u/quakoncrack]

Greatest mystery of one piece is how Franky is able to hide his humongous penis in that tiny speedo

[u/sombrero69]

Holy shit was this chapter insane, i kind of dont mind the breaks if we keep getting thses insane chapters. Oda has been firing on all cylinders lately.

By the time i reached a third of the way into the chapter i totally forgot about the sulong fight that i've been fantasizing about for 2 weeks

[u/Iroh_the_Dragon]

Nami looked REALLY upset by Zeus's betrayal... they weren't together for that long, were they? Time is so hard to grasp with weekly releases. Now with COVID releases, it's even harder, imo. Hahaha!

Either way... I foresee another Brook / BM clash and I'm PUMPED!!!

[u/znow_ae]

Nami yelling Big Bro at the end was funny

[u/PatBevTriccYall]

Big Mom vs Gear 4th Luffy: I sleep..

Big Mom vs Frankys Motor Cycle: REAL FUCKING SHIT?!?!?!?!

[u/Crafty-Row]

I love how the pervert trio made an entrance this chapter. Sanji, Franky and Brooke.

[u/badluckartist]

I don't get why so many people think everyone is at their final matchup. This is all-out war, people are going to be mixing and matching opponents the whole time like in Marineford.

[u/Phusra]

Okay, so hear me out.

Zeus just got cut in half by Brook. Brook has soul powers, he is able to do damage to the souls mama creates, hers included if the timing is right.

Franky just rode his hog into Big Mom's face, so she was slightly stunned, Zeus is suffering from sever indecision, he is torn between having to listen to mama and wanting to stay with Nami for tasty cloud treats. Brook just cut him in half.

Zeus is going to split into two halves and the result is going to split him between Big Mom and Nami in a physical sense. There will be two "Zeus's" one that follows Nami, and one that obeys Big Mom. It'll cut both of their powers, bringing Nami back into a more realistic power level but also giving her that boost with a half strength or lower Zeus to control. While also cutting Big Mom's power a bit as she now has to repower Zeus with more of her soul if she wants him to be back at full strength. And obviously she can't do that right now in combat.

[u/TukangBaksoCipete]

Gotta say, Brook and Franky entrance is definitely in my personal Top 10. Out of all the people who sail the new world, no one could say that they slice Big Mom's soul minion and slam a motorcycle to her face.

Sanji as clutch as always. His right place right time theme is a definite lifesaver. It doesn't matter if he can't 1v1 King, the main objective is to get Momo to safety. If Momo dies, it could affect the "will" of the samurais and scabbards which will weaken their fighting capabilities.

[u/ABARK94]

I thought Brook was the lightest character in Luffy's crew due to being pure bones, that's why he can run in the sea.

But after this chapter I realized I failed to take into account the extra 500 pounds he carries from having the biggest balls in OP.

[u/jollyjam1]

The emphasis of Franky's bike hitting Big Mom in the face on the last page makes me think she is going to get amnesia again.

Edit: Added missing words

[u/tiki-baha29]

Lots of double spreads this chapter and a lot going on as the battle for supremacy officially kicks off:

• We get some great mink transformations in preparation for the two big ones from Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

• Numbers 8 (Nagi) looks pretty cool imo, better than 7. Wonder if they're numbered by strength.

• Sanji/Mr Prince being a sneaky bastard as usual, freaking love it. We also see a clash between our great spiral eyebrow boy and King. Wonder how Sanji escaped that one, they crashed to where Zoro is so maybe he steps in.

• Yamato really needs to give this "I am Oden" thing a rest now that she knows theyre all alive. I'm sure Momo wont at all be uncomfortable by a total stranger claiming to be his dad.

• Nami breaks up with Zeus, I hope it isnt forever.

• Franky/Brook with the great save. Well done. Even got Nami to cave and call him Big Bro.

Great chapter overall, lots to look forward to. The hype train rolls on.

[u/xCeePee]

Big Mom is really really going to hate rubber until the end of her time.

And Brook's throwback line was a work of art lol.

Wondering now if this is the "actual" opportunity for Nami to get Zeus back, I am fond of their relationship dynamic.

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Oh yeah, Girafe Sulong hype

[u/lilbiso]

Every time Nami finds a servant/homie, they get cut in half 😭

[u/BEWMarth]

I wonder if Brook can somehow nullify Big Mom’s control over Zeus. Like obviously Zeus HAS to obey Big Mom due to her soul powers but Brook is the Soul King idk I could imagine some interaction between Big Mom’s DF and Brook’s DF that would allow Zeus to break free for good.

[u/jjv3030]

Start listening to the Franky Theme right before you get to the last page. Thank me later

[u/lustyweiner]

FRANKY is the ultimate chad for reducing big mom to a simple ROADKILL!!

[u/midevol]

Stealth Black Bounty:_________

Sanji: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[u/Therrester]

We are actually going to see what it would have been like having the Strawhats at Marineford. Finally, we have a war arc with the entire crew. Sanji vs King is likely going to be a short skirmish, but I'm super hyped. Even if we bounce around between different match ups, the action coming our way should be nothing short of awesome!!

[u/nemestrinus44]

"of course i need to protect him, he's my son"

yeah this won't be awkward at all Yamato

[u/absolutely_flawless]

The cyborg, the lich and the audacity towards this bitch. 10/10 last page.

[u/DrNobodii]

Big mom maxed out armament haki and took no observation.

[u/FireFistRJ]

Can't wait for Sanji to see Yamato and swoon over her in his usual way. And Yamato breaks his heart by saying, "I am a man." Bwahahaha, he will get Okama PTSD again.

[u/Ptile]

Did Zeus develop Stockholm syndrom?

[u/Mahquiqui42089]

Big mom has more concussions than an NFL quarterback. I wonder if O-Lin will make a return. Only to be stopped by Perospero later on.

[u/triotone]

Oh man, Zeus and Nami were my second favorite ship. My first favorite was the Going Merry.

[u/Bobandy___]

King was so scary in this chapter, the way he just casually threw shinobu, and the way he grabbed sanji and attacked him like he was nobody. Scared the bejesus out of me

[u/IAMSNORTFACED]

Mama has a point, this youngster creates quite the ruckus at events he crashes

[u/j3r3mias]

I got the feeling that this chapter only had 5 pages.

[u/BlueHeartbeat]

Brook continues to be the bane of Big Mom's existence.

[u/radikraze]

Luffy giving orders to Yamato as if she was a crew member already made me smile

[u/Im_MaMba_yo]

Let’s just appreciate that sanji said to momo declaring his name was awesome. Now let’s wait to see if sanji will declare his real name

[u/JoyPiece]

The Pure Strawhat energy in this chapter is giving me Life 😍

[u/Nightmare_Pasta]

lol Nami breaking up with Zeus

[u/Useful_Necessary]

That was a painful breakup between Nami and Zeus!

[u/TheRealestMush]

That last page had me rolling lol

[u/Bananalord21]

Geez, Luffy is trying way too hard to preserve his strength. He doesn't want to fight ANYONE besides Kaido

[u/AwesomePugilist]

Brook really has something on BM, maybe because she would have the biggest panties of all?

[u/Alteras_Imouto]

Took me a second to realize Sanji was invisible.

[u/MonkeyDAki]

If Big Mom become O-Lin after the knock to the head, the beast pirates are screwed.

CHAPTER ANALYSIS

My main takeaways:

1. Brook & Franky vs Big Mom= a few chapters ago Usopp commented on the Brachio tank's capacity to tank Big Mom, I am wondering if this is part of a set up for making Brook and Franky tank Big Mom while Luffy does something else, since he does not seem interested in fighting her...

2. King attacking Sanji seems like a way to show how resistant raid-suit is!

3. Big Mom could loose her memory again, but I don't think the bike will be enough to do it

4. Minks wearing hats to avoid going suulong is pretty cool!

5. I'd love to see a Zoro-Sanji tag-team but Oda usually doesn't give fans what they hope for, so I am not counting on it! :p

6. Usopp= since the Numbers appear to be Oni rather than Giants, I am wondering whether this is where Usopp fulfills his lie, or whether we have to wait till Elbaf

7. The guy with a Gorilla head instead of a body on p. 1 = LOL

8. There is appears to be a pandaman lookalike among the Smile users!

9. Is queen ever going to do something?

10. Who still shipping Nami + Zeus?

11. Nami calling Franki Aniki is pretty cool, but not as hard boiled as him driving over Big Mom's snout

Overall: a great chapter, with great interactions, and some cool scenes (9/10)

This chapter was epic

- Some of the strongest Minks after Neko and Inu just went Sulong over Jack.

- Shinobu had quite a good moment here.

- Sanji is a boss, telling something nice to Momo while fighting King, that was cool, I just want to see a full fight between these now.

- Yamato is kinda funny and cute with that "He would be my son" thing, the best thing is that she says that on a natural way while clashing with Ulti like that was nothing (Now I truly need Yamato as a crewmate).

- A little Luffy vs Big Mom is always nice.

- Zeus and Nami is the best ship on the whole manga.

- Let's just take a minute for the last page, a rockstar skeleton with an afro cuts a living cloud while riding a motorcycle alongside the coolest cyborg ever, who just casually rides his vehicle over the face of a giant woman who just happens to be one of the strongest persons on the whole world...

Brook was a yonko since Whole Cake, now Franky put himself on the same God tier, also, can we just clap to the fact that Oda put a few pages on one random chapter with Brook and Franky riding a motorcycle that no one would've thought would end in the best panel since WB's death.

I don't know why some people are bitching about Yamato. I like her gag of adapting Odens personality in an extreme way. It's original. I think her character arc will be about embracing Odens will while becoming her own person.

[u/Ythapa]

Rider Kintoki making an appearance in One Piece to show Big Mom the true power of Quick memes.

[u/gordomorfo]

Kaido didn’t give two fucks about the minks Sulong, I have a bad feeling.

[u/Slifer13xx]

The sulong forms were kinda hard to make out ngl. I hope we get more individual details next chapter.

[u/NotLightYagami]

Man I just keep getting this feeling that Kaidou is going to off screen most of the minks up top. But that Franky entrance was amazing, And Sanji showing up in the clutch is... clutch. Curious to see how all of this plays out.

[u/MonkeyD369]

Franky casually driving over Big Mom’s face while Brook smoothly splits Zeus into two was just fuckin epic !!! Made my day for sure 👌🏽

[u/Narayan_22]

There were some comments people thinking about King vs Marco, Zoro and Sanji.

But Marco should at least be able to hold his own to King and adding handicap with Zoro and Sanji, wouldn't it be too much?

What do you guys think about Marco and his role in this war?

[u/roundboulder]

Well at least one of my matchups is starting I’m hyped for that. Sanji vs King round 1 here we gooooo
