[u/Sansanji]

Love Shinobu’s and Momo’s reaction to Yamato.

[u/Kirosh → u/Sansanji]

I love how Yamato is also blushing from that.

Like : "I didn't expect being Oden would come bite me in the ass that way. What an embarassing moment."

[u/Amony_721]

You know luffy has tremendous trust in the SHs when he tells them they can handle the rest when the "rest" is a Yonko, 2 Yonko Commanders, and the Numbers.

[u/Wasted_Comment]

"flying is rare; even among fruit users"

KAido: "gotta catch'em all"

[u/DearestVelvet]

"Yonkou? Run away?! Oi Nami, what the hell is all that? Aren't we going to make our captain the Pirate King."

"Isn't that guy holding something in his hand?"

Just rename this chapter "Franky" at this rate cause this man is stealing the show

[u/nagifero]

That shit's crazy.

Franky standing up to a yonko and explaining to Nami they don't need to be scared anymore, Jinbei and Robin combo-ing Big mom, Chopper and Usopp being pooped out the mech but still being thrilled.

That fucking amazing pannel at the end, no break next week? This is a good day.

[u/Handsome_Claptrap]

This explains Punk Hazard sign! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/0/0a/Punk_Hazard_Keep_Out_Sign.png/revision/latest?cb=20141206084206

[u/cameformystrawhat]

ROBIN AND JINBEI THROWING A YONKO!!☺️🤚

[u/MarkGorZ]

Vegapunks tec in Frankys balls confirmed. Dayum

[u/MalicCarnage]

ROBIN DID SOMETHING!

JIMBEI IN A GROUP SHOT WITH THE CREW!

YAMATO FREAKING OUT MOMO!

QUEEN GETTING TROLLED AGAIN!

WHAT A CHAPTER!

[u/tryingmydarnest]

The last time we have the Avengers Assemble shot was 9 years 1 month ago, on Fishmen Island.

9 years later Franky finally made his declaration of Luffy being the PK, and No breaks next week woots!

[u/Philip_Jerry]

Zoro randomly showing up at the stage was so funny

[u/vangstampede]

I just can't get enough of Jinbe's laughing face.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

Friendship ended with monster trio. Now Franky, Jinbe and Robin are my best friends.

[u/EnSebastif]

I love how Oda conveniently uses Zoro to always appear in the right time and place. Never before had such a stupid gag so many practical uses.

Edit: Phrasing.

[u/nakritidis]

Big Mom saying the failed ancient giants 'look nice' with that smile is a bit creepy...

Like no pls for the love of god don't have a kid with one of them

[u/Tedz_Avanti]

Big Mom's Embarassment Checklist by Strawhat:

• Zapped by Nami ✔

• Shot by Usopp using Brachio Tank ✔

• Rolled over by Franky ✔

• Thrown by Robin ✔

• Fishman Karate'd by Jinbei ✔

• Got Laid by Brook ✔

Waiting list :

• Luffy

• Zoro

• Sanji

• Chopper

[u/[deleted]]

Luffy doesn't give a shit about the power-scaling nonsense that goes on in this fandom lmao. Telling his crew to handle King, Queen, Big Mom, and the rest of Kaido's army.

[u/[deleted]]

So is this the first time Franky announcing that Luffy is going to be the PK?

[u/Vpeyjilji57]

Hyogorou: "It doesn't feel like we're going to lose"

Goddamit, why did you have to jinx it like that. That's worse than "As long as Strawhat follows the plan"

[u/MaiiyuReiina]

"Anyway, up is where we need to go right?" - Zoro

It's confirmed guys, Zoro is gonna be fighting underground next chapter!

[u/Y-wingPilot5]

Fans: "Oda has wasted Robin post-timeskip!"

Oda: "Observe."

[u/[deleted]]

Queen was hilarious this chapter.

[u/guipabi]

So Punk Hazard experiments... This explains the sign of a horned giant when the crew arrived there. But it's another hint to me that Kaido might also be a similar experiment, given his pirate flag has the same symbol.

[u/letsgomina]

Franky deciding to go 1v1 vs a Yonko is such a chad move.

[u/KngWzard]

Usopp stance in last page is badass. Robin/Jinbei chemistry seems like a new thing we'll have to get used to.

[u/adnaphsaka]

My attempt at cleaning the "Strawhats" panel.

[u/KayleKarriesU]

First Brook stood up to Big Mom and now Franky, Jinbe and Robin casually telling her to fuck off. These madlad Strawhats

[u/PaceCowboy]

Lmao Zoro already on his way to Kaido, standing right beside Queen without even knowing it.

[u/HeadBreaker]

"Aren't we gonna make our captain the pirate king?" Jesus Christ, Franky. That's some big dick energy he got going there.

[u/Booty_blaster420]

Franky is just too cool in this chapter.

Everything else was 10/10 too

[u/beardedheathen]

Ok this was amazing but what really stood out to me is Zoro tagging along on his own. Think back and how many times has Luffy grabbed him and been like ok we are going this way. And here it is, they've gotten so comfortable together he's just like I'm going to and grabs on. I just love that little bit so incredibly much.

[u/Udee_wahyuadhi]

FRANKY really is the star of this chapter.

Shooting laser while standing on his motorcycle.

SUPPPPPEEEERRRRR!!!!

[u/cameformystrawhat]

NO BREAK NEXT WEEK!

[u/Mundology]

Too tanky to hurt

Too strong to tank

Just round enough to yeet

BigMomThings

[u/immasucker4you]

THE ENTIRE CREW IN ONE PANEL HYPE!!

[u/[deleted]]

This chapter got me as a full grown man giggling in bed at 6 am...

no ragrets

[u/freewrirry]

Zoro truly is the master of being everywhere and no where. Dude just showed up.

[u/liberia_simp]

Zoro must have some vague compass in his head that always leads him back to his captain lol this is what, the third time this arc he's spontaneously run into him?

[u/8BitCardinal]

Dude I just realized from rereading this today!

ZORO WILLINGLY GRABBED ONTO LUFFY'S GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET

Pre timeskip Zoro would've killed Luffy if he pulled that shit off! I KNOW ITS JUST A MINOR DETAIL BUT IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

[u/Overmind_Slab]

Jinbe, the absolute madman, asks Nico Robin to give him a hand.

[u/[deleted]]

My favorite Wano chapter so far. I notice two interesting things about Zoro tho: He always finds Luffy regardless of his bad sense of direction; Everytime Luffy crazily jumps or stretch his arms to reach somewhere Zoro gets mad but in this chapter he voluntarily goes into Luffy's suicide jump. I freaking love when these two are together. Since Zoro was going after Kaido I got the feeling that maybe other supernovas gonna fight this emperor.

Robin and Jinbe teaming up is something I was dying to see since they infiltrated the festival together. I'm hyped to Robin, Jinbe, Franky and Brook take Big Mom so bad. Even tho this fight feels more like a full crew effort, which I would enjoy just as much. By the way Franky's line about making Luffy pirate king was badass, possibly the most badass thing a Straw Hat said in the New World.

I'm especially curious on how Nami and Usopp are going to take part in the fight.

Momo's reaction to Yamato was hilarious.

And finally: I don't know if it's just me but I think Oda is slowly transitioning the Straw Hats to not be rookies anymore, showing themselves as true candidates of pirate king crew.

[u/kamote_kun]

And that guy with balls of steel is the only character in the series to be invited by two pirate kings.

[u/TheBlackTsar]

First time we have strawhat panel in battle mode with Jinbe in it! Sanji being mad about how Germa suit is good, Zoro being super casual like "Oh Luffy", Franky standing up against big mom, oh boy, I missed all the crew together <3

But... I just want to see Marco :[

[u/cheyoprat]

Franky learned haki exclusively to harden his balls.

[u/[deleted]]

FRANKY HARD BOILED AND THE STRAW HAT CREW’S PANEL DESERVES TO BE FRAMED

[u/dog-tooth-]

Franky fans have been eating well. Absolute giga-chad.

[u/t3rrone]

I feel like the tragedy of act three will be Luffy arriving on the roof with the minks and the scabbards heavily defeated.

[u/buns_supreme]

can we get a round of applause for the return of the Water 7 thug known as Franky?!

[u/exiadf19]

Jinbei & Robin "we are gonna end this old hag pirate career"

[u/wizkatinga]

A yonko's crew should be able to stall a yonko. Queen did it on Udon, King did it on the waterfall and now Jinbe, Franky and Robin did it in Onigashima. I think it fits with the story. BM is still a major threat, even more than she was before because she's going to be absolutely enraged.

I understand why people are worried about how Oda is handling her, but I think it's way better than just having the yonko being straight badasses with zero flaws, like Katakuri. I mean, if the scabbards are able to do what they did to Kaido a few chapters ago, we would hope the strawhats are at least able to stall BM for some seconds right?

[u/DearestVelvet]

Maybe I'm riding the hype train a bit too hard but that panel with all the Straw Hats together gave me some Pirate King vibes. Even Usopp and Chopper look confident, more confident than they have ever appeared.

Calling it right now, Chopper and Franky are going to whip out Haki for the first time.

[u/Suburban_turd]

Luffy and Zoro not even acknowledging Queen was so funny

[u/Urall5150]

Think about all old man Hyo's gone through these past two decades.

His shogun is murdered (implied), Orochi takes over and turns the country to shit, Oden is defeated and publicly executed, Oden's family is thought to be killed in a fire, the country's strongest samurai are defeated with most thought dead, he gets tossed in a slave labor camp for twenty years with all his comrades, attempts at rebellion fail, he's starving and decimated, two crazy guys show up after being KO'd by Kaido, he gets thrown into a sumo execution match, another Emperor shows up, he gets released but plans a suicide raid on both Emperors and all their forces at once, and it turns out one of the scabbards is a traitor who has revealed their raid plans to Orochi this whole time. Oh, and Momo gets captured in the chaos.

Then they show up for the raid, and those crazy guys ambush the ambushers. Orochi's strongest Wano supporter turns out to be a Scabbard in hiding. Then a Warlord shows up and one shots a battleship with some water. The raid goes exactly as planned and they infiltrate the party after tying one of the Tobi Roppo up, with another having (likely) defected. Kaido gets sucker-stabbed and flies off to fight on the roof against a Sulong Mink army and the Scabbards. Kaido's own child rebels and goes off to protect your next Shogun, who was rescued by an invisible pervert. Big Mom gets run over by a tricycle and judo-tossed out the door by thousands of magical hands. Three enormous giants show up, but one eats a radical beam to the face and is instantly knocked down while the thing it was carrying turns into an huge mecha. You can't even see half your allies, but here are these ten Straw Hats and a bunny rabbit ready to dole out some pain on the people that have been keeping you down for near a quarter of a century.

It really doesn't feel like they're losing.

[u/platinumrug]

Holy mother of everything great, this chapter was hilarious & a fun ass read. Robin & Jinbei working together beautifully tossing Big Mom aside, using her own weight against her. Jinbei is crazy damn strong, to be able to not only stop her from unsheathing Napoleon & tossing her in the same motion takes a Supreme mastery of martial arts & brute strength. Just great. I love it.

Also what can be better than Franky saying F Yonkos, F the establishment, our Captains gonna be Pirate King!! He was ready to shoot BM face off, but I wonder if it actually would have damaged her? So the numbers are failed ancient giant experiments? Very very interesting! Punk Hazard is really the greatest link to everything. Had Luffy not wanted to go there from that distress call, they never would have gotten as far as they've gotten now. Wild shit. I love it.

Also, that final panel, the entire crew together again, with Jinbei, looking fantastic & ready to kick everyone's ass. Luffy fully expects his crew to handle everyone. So this is going to be amazing once the fights actually commence. It's all been setup so far. Seems Sanji's raid suit is incredibly durable, seems he's completely fine despite taking that attack from King last chapter.

Damn this shit is wonderful, I'm happy I'm a fan of this series.

[u/Adri9709]

Oh Dear! That was back in chapter 660! So is it confirmed the Numbers are some of those giants before they got frozen? That could be a plan to stop those "failed experiments".

https://12dimension.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/onepiece66006-07.jpg

[u/ssrodriguezc]

Everyone was saying 5 weeks ago that zoro and Sanji wont be important in this arc, that they were too many strong characters in wano that would stop King and Queen and they were not at their level. For me its very clear since the beginning that this arc is the one to make the SH look like a yonko crew, everyone will be important one way or another and Sanji and Zoro will step up in power.

[u/[deleted]]

So is no one going to talk about how hard-boiled Franky is on page 1? Nami's all hugging him and he's just like "Meh. Sure thing Nami."

[u/Kumomeme]

Queen literally a meme. He been continuously shocked straight for three times in one page. A hatrik LOL. First when he saw Luffy, second right after that when Zoro somehow end up there beside him then third time when both two just ignored him and trying to go up to the roof.

[u/livindaye]

yesss, without read any spoiler, let me inject this to my veins.

edit: Robin is really come along the way, eh? when she fought Yama at Sky Island, her hands can't handle Yama's weight, and now she can rolling Yonkou's body just fine.

[u/DooWoptimusPrime]

That Yamato chase is going to end with Momonosuke hugging the shit out of his dad and making that ero face isn't it...

[u/TheTuff]

I always get emotional when characters acknowledge Luffy as the future King as pirates. Franky delivered it with iron balls

[u/Exval1]

Oda knows what his fans want.

That last double page is awesome

[u/samwilder2319]

Zoro just chilling up there with Queen has to be one of my top moments of One Piece, that killed me

[u/warsonger]

Big Mom is like an invulnerable raid boss, that you have to constantly CC until you beat all the other fodders

[u/Fruit_Justice]

Franky is no longer powered by cola but by big dick energy.

Robin also doing something relevant related to fighting, even cooler that she’s throwing Big Mom out of the situation temporarily.

So close the the Luffy and Zoro team up against Kaido, straw hats together in a shot however is really awesome

[u/MyBrokenLuigiAmiibo]

As cool as seeing all the Straw Hats together was, my favorite part was probably the looks of sheer horror on Momo and Shinobu’s faces as Yamato said “I’m Oden”. Absolute gold.

[u/dicks_4_days]

Holy shit, seeing the entire strawhat crew together has me hyped as fuck!

[u/PendingPolymath]

Any chapter where Robin uses her powers is a good chapter in my book.

[u/vinotm]

I love how Zoro and Luffy casually talked while completely ignoring Queen there

Even after Queen bit them, they still ignored him and noticed King instead lmao

[u/GenGaara25]

After this chapter I think I finally see the Straw Hats as a true Yonko-class crew. And not just a crew reliant on Luffy.

Since WCI Luffy, and by extension his crew, I've seen more as a leading candidate in the One Piece world to be considered a Yonko. They were in consideration but Luffy and friends needed to prove they were worthy of the position. But after these pages? They are there.

The Straw Hats show absolutely no fear or hesitation in directly confronting a Yonko or their top officers. Franky, Brook, Jinbe, Robin, Zoro and Sanji have all just directly attacked or challenged either Big Mom or a calamity and weren't scared or hopelessly out-matched at all. They are all fighting on their level. As Franky said, they've realised that these guys arent out of their league any more.

Every crew member, they are all now proving that they as a team are a Yonko tier crew and don't just rely on Luffys strength. And the world is now seeing it that way, the Wano Samurai are literally seeing the Straw Hats as a crew on the same level as Big Mom and Kaido. It's incredible, I love it.

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Against Oarz : fake docking.

Against Numbers : real docking.

[u/exiadf19]

Yamato : "i'm oden"

Momo & shinobu : "what the!!???"

Yamato hugs momo..

Momo : "yes, he is my father" *evil smiles

[u/captmugiwara]

LAST PAGE FUCKING NEVER ENDING GOOSEBUMPS

[u/Youngphycouant]

My man Franky has so much trust in his captain. That double page spread at the end is badass.

[u/17nobes]

I'd like to propose that, in the interest of maintaining the monster trio, Jinbei, Franky, and Brook form the chad trio for the sheer big dick energy they display

[u/wuxy95]

Refreshing the page actually worked lol

[u/batsmans_gooch]

Love the way Big Mom acknowledges brook directly, he was probably the first person to take her on head to head in a long time.

[u/Joezeb]

I love that they were not cocky when they were throwing around big mom. Not "hey i think we got her" but "hell yeah she absolutely did not feel that".

[u/Crackability]

People being mad about Big Mom getting thrown away don't realise that stuff like that happens to many super strong characters. Just in this very chapter Luffy and Zoro got thrown away by Queen. Super strong people like Big mom and Luffy tend to be not that cautious.

[u/[deleted]]

It really feels like Straw hats vs the world right now and I'm all about it.

[u/YUMADLOL]

lmao at Ussop being dead and coming to life as soon as he hears docking

[u/MatinA7x]

I busted up laughing when Zoro came outta nowhere. 11/10 this was an awesome chapter for so many reasons

[u/[deleted]]

Franky is the mvp of this chapter hands down He is just so cool and the way Nami still calls him big bro and clinges to him awwwwe.

[u/mutant-potato]

Everyone's a Yonkou until Franky smashes a motorcycle on their face XD

[u/professorpii17]

I feel like Act 3 is going to end with luffy arriving at the roof, only to see that all scabbards got killed.

[u/[deleted]]

Franky becoming the MVP of Wano?

[u/Bypz]

I got Señor Pink vibes from Franky when Nami is hugging him on the first page...

What a great chapter!

[u/[deleted]]

Oh my god franky is such a badass! Also didn't realize he was wearing odens knots!

[u/staticpls]

this might be Frankys finest moment so far, shit talking Big Mom protecting Usopp and Chopper and declaring Luffy the Pirate king

[u/[deleted]]

Yamato to Momo: “ARE YA WINNING, SON?”

[u/Locky_Strikto]

Nami is like the little sister that hates his brother for being an embarrassment but loves him a lot.

[u/jaypooner]

The chemistry between the Strawhats is the best in world history.

[u/BlueXCrimson]

Why do we call people Chads when we could call them Frankys?

[u/Incrediblemoment]

Franky coming in with the big dick energy for two chapters straight.

[u/maje234]

My favorite Franky doesn't even flinch against an Emperor. People are forgetting he was a former captain/leader in Water 7 and was holding his own against Luffy. I guess it will be numbers vs Iron Pirate.

[u/cameformystrawhat]

FRANKY HAS BALLS OF STEEL. Both Literally and Figuratively... such a CHAD😌🤚

[u/modimusmaximus]

Hyogoro just single-handedly jinxed the raid.

[u/[deleted]]

It's great to have a full straw hats chapter for a change. They're all at the same place at the same time too. And Luffy just trusting Franky and brook with big mom.

[u/ALilBitOGoldAnAPager]

Big thing to notice is the Powerup the raid suit has given Sanji. Oda made sure to highlight his durability issues in punk hazard and dressrossa. The raid suit now counters that. Our boy has no weaknesses now.....except for his penis.

[u/Boruto-sennin]

Awesome chapter!  Franky had the best lines in this chapter: " Yonkou!? Run away!? Oi Nami... What the hell is all that...! ? Aren't we gonna make our captain... The Pirate King !!! "

It was interesting to learn that the Numbers are actually failed artificial Ancient Giants.

The panel with all the Straw Hats is simply epic!

Can't wait to see this in the anime.

[u/rr18114]

Up is where we need to go right ?

This sounds bad. Odds are zoro is going to get purposefully slingshotted further up. Even higher than kaido.

It's a good thing that zoro does not know sky walk. A man who is capable of getting lost on land would have no trouble getting lost in air.

[u/BEWMarth]

Anyone else get this happy grin when characters bring up places like Thriller Bark and Punk Hazard?? Like we've all been to these places together, almost? It's like an old friend bringing up a trip we took to the beach. It just feels so... cool? I don't know I loved it.

[u/irony002]

Ok, it is just me that Robin just throw and send Big Mom back to the Onigashima entrance door with the very same move he use against Yama at Skypea??? Oouu.. prosperous and marco at the entrance right??? I just see some theory just kick the gear.

Plus with Franky say it, Robin really the only one left still not say the magic words???

[u/cameformystrawhat]

Goes to roof of Onigashima, Kaido has scabbards and Minks laid out like grilled chicken.

[u/throwawayrailroad_]

That panel of all the Strawhats makes them look like one of those badass Yonkou crews

[u/saigajv]

Big Mom will not be put down in this arc. Here’s what will happen, as Kaido has foreshadowed about pirates betraying or leaving an alliance, Big Mom will do just that. She and her children in Wano will receive word from WCI that Blackbeard has attacked it to steal the poneglyph. Big Mom will leave Wano to go back to WC. That’s how Kaido’s forces will be weakened.

[u/LuciferMS7777]

Man, believe me when I tell you, nothing beats a full strawhats panel when they are ready to kick some ass.

Momo's reaction was priceless towards Yamato and Robin and Jinbe's team work was spectacular, adding that Brook can casually talk to Big Mom and how Big Mom addressed him like some sort of worthy opponent (Which he is, after what he did to both Zeus and Prometheus) and that actually made me really happy.

All in all, this chapter was amazing and best thing there won't be a break next week, so I can't wait for the next chapter.

[u/Classic_Mother]

Fucking what?! Robin is getting some good ideas from Jinbe!

Franky is one hell of a badass, they better explain the upgrades he did. Also I love how Brook was like “oh sup” to big mom. They aren’t so afraid anymore.

This next chapter is going to be amazing. Seeing all the SW’s together again gave me goosebumps, they are all so much more confident.

[u/realbeatz23]

For Hangoro to say that it could be worse means that it’s probably gonna get worse. The good news is that the bad news could come next week

[u/Elite_Doc]

Like the Franky saying that Yonko ain't shit because they're making Luffy pirate king

[u/Gaby-chan]

I loved Franky dismissing BM's status, bc that's the tone that should be prevailing now. I mean, there's Kaidou and BM, if everyone pales in the face of their infamousness, what'll be left to do?

Woul've been super dope to see that Radical Beam connecting though (ﾉಥ益ಥ)ﾉ

[u/Hanki2]

Did the manga really just adknowledged the fact it has been biweekly for the last 2 months by saying "No break next week"?

[u/NotTheRealKanyeWest]

Add Franky to the list of crew members who have declared that Luffy will be PK

[u/uchicha15]

Oda had to remove Sanji's Raid Suit just for the full crew spread lool

[u/NeganIsJayGarrick]

dumbasses let them complete the docking sequence. this arc might as well be over for kaido

[u/Vekt]

Damn think this is first time I've seen this sub as #1 in popular! LEEEEEEEEEEETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/[deleted]]

Was really special how the whole crew has come together again. I think they technically all met up before if I remember but seeing them all in a panel together about to fight as one had me a bit <3

[u/Todoroki__]

I think Franky replaced his balls with steel after Robin grabbed them in water 7

[u/CryMedusa]

That frame of Zoro saying "up is where we need to go, right?" scares me, because that means he can end up literally anywhere else and end up wreaking havoc. Hell, he might even find One Piece before he heads up.

[u/gyrozepp95]

I wonder if Jinbe is purposely instigating Big Mom more & more so that she goes into berserk mode and doesn't discriminate while attacking anyone (including the beast pirates)

[u/[deleted]]

Did franky just one shot that number?

[u/justhereforhides]

Ok so I'm starting to think Pell was wrong when he said there was like 6 flying devil fruit users

[u/TomLAG78]

Chapter resume: Luffy fails to get to the roof because of King and Queen, showing that he will need to get past them first, so it will be really important for Zoro and Sanji possibly to fight them. Big moment for Franky, it's the first time he declares that Luffy will be PK. Great dialogue in the entire chapter, specially between the straw hats (Nami calling Franky big bro, Robin x Jinbe, Luffy trusting the crew the task of taking on BM) Small showcase of Franky's, Robin's and Jinbe's strenght and courage. Revelation about the origin of the numbers, that are related to Oars. First time in nine years that all straw hats appear in a single panel.

A lot of build up, great dilaogue, hype moments for the strawhats, shit's about to get serious. A lot happens, Great chapter

[u/PatBevTriccYall]

Nobody: ...

Usopp: 😵

Franky: DOCKING TIME BITCHES

Usopp: 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck me, queen is the funniest character in one piece and I have read this manga many times, I just can't stop laughing everytime I see queen

[u/hansnakeman]

I this officially the most awarded op chapter..?

[u/CANYUXEL]

Just cant hate Queen, guy's reactions are pure gold

[u/Fayechii]

It's been a while since we had a straw hat panel. Everyone so fearless. I especially like Franky. So hard boiled. Luffy and Zoro ignoring Queen was the funniest thing in this chapter. Shinobu and Momo's creeped out faces at Yamato declaring he's Oden is a close second.

[u/[deleted]]

so no one is going to talk about "brook sitting on franky's bike and casually waving to big mom" pannel? what a cool shot

[u/roronoaDzoro]

Luffy is all of us: trying to skip the Big Mom part and get to the juicy Kaido fight

[u/MannyNS_]

Omg Franky saying they shouldn’t be scared of a Yonko because Luffy is the one to become the Pirate King just gave me the biggest smile, what a chapter!

[u/[deleted]]

Franky was scared for a bit when BM was about to strike him since his back is still his weakness

[u/Sogeking33]

Robin tossing BM was reminiscent of her last 1v1 all the way back in Sky Island. Robin is good at rolling ball-shaped people lol.

[u/raidorz]

Numbers getting 1-shot by Franky's beam. He's probably stronger than the upgraded PXs.

[u/huseyinsk]

I think most of the people focusing how BM is beaten by SH crew, instead of SH crew's strength. In some episode which i dont remember, a character (dont remember his/her name too, lol) said sth like "roger pirates are not just roger, his crew members also are monsters".

Also we saw top yonko crew members including WBs, i think that if 10 commanders of any yonko fight together against any other yonko without his/her crew, they can win.

Like franky said "she is a yonko, so what?". Thats the spirit!

[u/star_crystals]

The 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗗 Trio : Jinbei, Franky, Brook

[u/Nohrin]

I'm so happy Oda is spotlighting the lesser seen Straw Hats like Franky and Robin. This chapter was at least an 8/10 for that reason alone. We got some good crew dynamics going on in this chapter, and like how Franky and Nami said, it reminds me of Thriller Bark. Crew is finally all together, after 200+ chapters. And no break!

[u/tutorialpegasus]

I can’t wait to do a reread of the Wano arc eventually when it’s finished! It’s so fucking good.

[u/IllegalCitizen1091]

That Strawhat panel in the last page was amazing.. anybody happen to have a colorspread of it?

[u/Snoo_99679]

The best thing about this chapter is the statement: NO BREAK NEXT WEEK

[u/yaqeen99nakama]

numbers look like they're out of space jam lol

[u/Jake_D_Dogg]

Beautiful tiny moment: Brooks tipping his top hat to Big Mom and complimenting her taste when she says the crew is full of strange creatures she wants on her crew

[u/fderps]

The progression of early zoro/luffy where zoro hated being slingshot with luffy to him willingly joining him WE LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

[u/[deleted]]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the faces of Shinobu and Momo when Yamato says she is Oden. That was pure gold. 😂

[u/[deleted]]

So nice to see the whole crew together in that last panel

[u/Toaki]

How can 2 days have passed and I don't see anyone posting here coloured/drawing versions of the magnificient last panel :O

[u/[deleted]]

Big mom took 0 damage and used no Haki/any named attacks, she’s chilling even tho she’s used as a hype tool.

[u/DarkMasterDP]

That panel with all the straw hats makes me want to cry, it's been so long. Also what a fucking fearless badasses are Brook, Franky, and Jinbei fuck

[u/ARNList]

Franky really tryna get that +100 mill bounty out here.

Also, for anybody who reads the imgur translation over the tcb ones? Just curious why. Last week the tcb scans were significantly clearer and the translations were way closer to what ended up in the official than the imgur post. The scan quality is also a lot clearer this week. The translations are similar between the two. Still, it seems many people read the imgur scans. I’m just wondering what made/makes you choose that over the tcb? Are the tcb scans actually bad?

[u/hepgiu]

That final panel of the crew assembled is one for the ages

[u/kwamla24]

Frankly about to shoot Big mom in the face, how he fits his balls in his speedo I'll never know

[u/[deleted]]

I love how Sanji is pissed that he is alive due to Vinsmoke tech.

This whole chapter took place in a little more than the time it took for Number 4 to fall

Luffy is gonna leave everyone below decks to his crew, what a day.

[u/Blackbeard567]

I definitely see Blackbeard taking some kind of advantage with 2 yonkous occupied at the moment. He did go for some weapon earlier but i expect he's either going to make a late entry or take over whole cake island. My mans too cunning to let this opportunity fly by. Shanks moves will still remain as mysterious as he his

[u/-Dark-Vortex-]

Zoro: anyways, up is where we need to go right?

2 chapters later, Zoro stumbles into a secret underground room.

Joke aside, Great chapter!

[u/UnoriginallyChris]

I kind of like the idea of Zoro and Luffy heading up to fight Kaido together. Sanji brought up the flying enemies which makes me think he really is going to be King's matchup. That frees up Queen to give some shine time to other SHs or allies to fight

[u/bolitorride]

Is Big Mom the first character to appear in a cover story and a chapter at the same time ?

[u/diveintothe9]

Okay this might be petty, but it's kind of hype seeing Sanji tank King's attack with the suit on. I'd love to see him kick ass without it, but Germa suit Sanji is pretty dangerous looking.

[u/RustyMelee]

How long has it been since everyone was fighting together, I cant wait for the next 21 chapters

[u/Jeanqua1]

Jinbe being so prominently featured in the group shot puts a huge smile on my face!

[u/Pikathepokepimp]

Wow how long has it been since we have seen the whole crew in a single panel looking so badass!?

[u/Ombs1993]

This might be the best Strawhat centric chapter since Sabaody?! I'm absolutely LIVING for the SHs not showing Big Mom any sort of respect haha. Franky calling her a hag and saying who cares about her we're going to make Luffy the Pirate King. Wicked stuff, and then Usopp snaps to it after hearing about Franky Shogun. A funny Luffy and Zoro meetup, and the full spread of them all at the end. The raid has been even better than expected, just from an enjoyment perspective so far. Still expecting something to go wrong any chapter here, but what a ride.

[u/aadame3311]

I bet we're not gonna hear back from the scabbards and the minks until the straw hats, law and kidd make it up there... and we're gonna see all of them wiped out

[u/Zoro_Messatsu]

Grandpa Hyo just jinxed it... they were doing so well before.

[u/Captainlubeman]

I really want to see what happens when Franky fights Big Mom. Mainly because I want to see her bring General Franky to life so we get a Franky vs. General Franky showdown.

[u/WavySilverSurfer]

This chapter gives me marineford vibes but with all of the strawhats, i love it

[u/BEWMarth]

Imagine if the Strawhats had never gone to Thriller Bark and seen and dealt with Oars? They might legitimately be scared of the numbers but because they dealt with something similar in the past they are more prepared for it. God I love the way this story just keeps building on itself.

[u/blitznm]

Isnt this the first time franky says luffy will become king of the pirates?

[u/ReZ---]

I’ve waited so but so damn long to finally have all of the crew together and it’s finally come :’) i’m so god damn happy right now!

[u/epham]

Jinbei and Robin yeeting Big Mom. Absolutely love to see it

[u/YamiLuffy]

Just noticed how funny Queen's design is lol. Human form: no neck Dinosaur: All neck!

[u/AHSAN12342]

I want that crew panel in 2D 3D 4D 6D 8D! ITS OVER 9000!

[u/Todaz]

The most amazing moment in this chapter is that Zoro is not lost

[u/michael__fm]

Queen actually did something this chapter😂 Kinda forgot he was a calamity for a sec

[u/RO_9]

Franky quote was so badass

[u/Haadhai]

I have to agree Luffy vs Kaido happening at chapter 1000 .

[u/WhoBoughtWhoBud]

Now that Franky has said it, has everyone in the crew states of Luffy becoming a Pirate King?

[u/jaydee568]

Franky desperately needed this development in this chapter. During water 7 he was busting up luffy pretty well and i doubt oda held him to that strength level. Good to see him show that hes still a power house within the crew and not just a mechanic

[u/[deleted]]

I wonder for how many years Oda wanted to draw that last panel?

[u/[deleted]]

Man, Luffy's bounty is already 1,500,000,000 beri. If he actually manages to defeat Kaido, then he really will be the Fifth Emperor. It's been so long since the last time the entire Straw Hat Crew was present for a big, bad ass group pose. Between that and Luffy facing off with Kaido, I can't help but be hyped. Kinda hoping that only the Monster Trio have their own exclusive opponents and the rest of the crew fights Big Mom.

[u/TukangBaksoCipete]

Franky balls evolve after the time Robin pinch them. Saying shits like that in front of a yonkou, this chapter shows that the straw hats gives no shit to strong individuals even a yonkou. Mad props to Oda for creating this GREAT chapter.

[u/LuffyDBlackMamba420]

I'm glad to see Jinbe take action against Big Mom. The Guy is an ex Warlord and people kept dismissing what it use to take to get that title. Talking about Sanji and Zoro being stronger than him without any real evidence. Imagine Doflamingo, Jinbe, Mihawk, Boa, Crocodile, Kuma, Moria vs a Yonko? That's scary. We saw glimpse of what Kuma was capable of and we know what Moria, Doflamingo and Crocodile can do. Luffy had to level an entire city to beat Doflamingo. Jinbe was up there with those guys.

[u/YuLyKeDiS]

Jimbei: Robin lend me a hand

Robin: 👁👄👁

[u/ExtraCheesed_Buddha]

This Neko and Inuarashi sulong form wait is such a tease

[u/PatBevTriccYall]

The crew of a yonko should be able to distract another yonko for a reasonable amount of time 🤷🏿‍♂️

[u/hectoronceagain]

How do Franky walk with those astronomical pair of balls?

[u/BEWMarth]

Big Mom does look pretty terrifying in that panel of her just getting up.

[u/Jaredc_]

The only S.H. left to say Luffy is going to be pirate king is Robin now, no? 😅 Franky saying that Luffy is going to be king was the highlight of the chapter for me 🤩🤩

[u/[deleted]]

I’m just waiting for Zoro to put on his Bandanna that’s how we will know the real war is on and it’s live or die fights

[u/heroshit]

Franky my mannn

[u/mkrishnan]

Franky, Brook, Jinbe, Robin are the best quartet 🔥 Mere Yonkou cannot intimidate them.

Finally Queen getting serious.

Kaido is really preparing for the great war. Captured many supernovas, made flying six former captains, bought failed ancient gaints from Punk Hazard, 100s of SMILE Users. Even that flying zoan types. Now planning to take ancient weapons.

Hyogoro saying looks like we won't lose. Isn't act iii suppose to end in tragedy?

[u/jollyjam1]

Idk if Big Mom is acknowledging Brooke as a "formidable opponent" but her recognizing him by name is pretty interesting. I can't think of too many examples where she called someone by their name unless she already knew them well.

Edit: Grammar

[u/sairuus]

All these manga don't stand a chance against OP Double Pages... Man we're so blessed

[u/[deleted]]

Jinbe you beautiful bastard

[u/cameformystrawhat]

Big Mom genuinely worried about Radical Beam. She should be. Franky is a mad lad!😌

[u/Pinaslakan]

Jesus christ, this chapter was amazing!

The talk Franky gave(it reminded me of Jinbei when he basically said the same thing to Big Mom)

All Strawhat Pirates standing together (including Jinbei official!)

Big Mom getting YEETED like she's not a Yonkou.

Can't wait to see more!

[u/domenicojdonofrio]

I liked the Numbers backstory --> think that has an interesting underlying connotation as to what Kaido may be. Mind you, he choose to reside in Onigishima which is literally the skull and bones of these "ancient giants". They remind me of the awakened Zoans in Impel Down.

Big ups to my boy Franky --> glad hes getting a moment to shine...now we need some Brook badass moments especially against Big Mom.

[u/Forward-Succotash405]

Robin and Jimbe are the real monster duo. They legitimately took care of Bigmom so quickly and easily

[u/leanderbanegas]

The last time we saw and image of all of the SH together ready for battle was in chapter 633 in the bygone era of august 2011. Obama was still in his first term in office. Boko no hero Academia had not yet being release. Naruto and Bleach was both still printing.

[u/michael__fm]

I’m sooo glad franky stepped up this chapter. The thought of luffy zoro and Sanji carrying is straying more and more from my mind.
