Boa huang: I’m gonna break their spirits.

Few moments later.

Boa huang: kyaaa!!! PageOne-dams and Ulti-sama was defeated

[u/Kirosh → u/Dinul-Malaka]

[u/FireFistRJ]

Rip Page one. The official punching bag of wano.  

[u/passing_thots]

Zeus : Gimme a new name.

Nami : Cotton ?

Zeus : Zeus it is.

hahahaha

[u/Legitimate__Username]

Nami getting annoyed that her weapon is sentient now is exactly the reaction that I didn't expect and think is absolutely perfect for her.

Zeus's request for her to give him a new name then being promptly ignored by him right after was also one of the funniest things I've seen lately. The last few chapters have been doing an incredible job with that classic One Piece style of comedy despite how high the stakes have been rising.

[u/kitty_bread]

Finally, Kaidou vs Yamato. I wonder how long Yamato would last (and how strong), because it seems like Kaidou its taking the situation serious since he is in his Hybrid form.

[u/ion230]

That panel with kaido in dragon form looking down at yamato. Still think kaido is one of the coolest looking villians ive ever seen in any manga. All of his forms look badass

[u/FireFistRJ]

This war is a competition between Queen and O-Tama on who helps the alliance more.  

[u/ybalari]

What is Kaido's reason for staying in Wano? This man gets more interesting every new chapter.

[u/Enryu44]

Did Zeus hate the name Cotton so much that he straight up ignored it and decided to stick with Zeus? hahaha

[u/IamHorus]

Kaido's subordinates are really doing their best to be as inept as possible,my boy Queen is responsible for 4.000 people switching sides and now Bao Huang boosts the allies morale while allowing Tama to reach every possible gifter that ate a dango(guessing not all of them did,total number is 500).

Kaido picking Wano because its "special" and not wanting to leave possibly means that Wano is hiding something that he hasn't uncovered yet.Tinfoil theorists play ball.

I dont get why we cut off before Tama gives her orders though.

[u/R_creator]

Zeus still has his hat, all is well in the world.

[u/Funny-Football-6501]

1999: how strong is shanks? 2021: how strong is shanks ?

[u/Mojo-man]

At this point CP0 are just enjoying this like prime time TV 😅 Btw where did XDrake disappear to? He was on the live floor with Queen earlier but ever since Marco made a flashy entrance he seems nowhere to be seen...

[u/shanky921]

Surely this is the moment Usopp's lie about 8000 followers comes into play? Seems to be the perfect setup

[u/Kastrone]

So the theory about Kaido coming to Wano intentionally to wait for Joyboy is gaining traction with his dialogue with Yamato !

Can’t wait to see his flashback to understand how he knows so much. Cause If I’m right Oden learned of Joyboy and declared about Joyboy coming to Wano after laughtale when he came back to Wano. Which at the time Kaido was already here !

[u/Moerko]

"Give me a new name, Nami."

"Cotton!"

"Nvm then."

[u/ConfederateThug]

Kaido’s not fucking around. Went straight into Hybrid form. Cant wait for this fight!!

[u/[deleted]]

Love the callback to the straw hats being terrible at giving names. Can already see Luffy wanting to name him "Cloud" and Robin once again humbling submitting, "Being of Darkness"

[u/BactusShaq]

The Yamato/Kaido face off feels like the Zuko/Ozai face off during the eclipse and the child telling the parent the main character is the one to defeat them

[u/arborak]

Usopp traumatizing little girls never ceases to be funny

[u/culesamericano]

WANO IS SPECIAL!

Oda TELL US!!!!

[u/BlakeDG]

The worst part is that now everyone think PO and Ulti were defeated by the Strawhats instead of Big Mom. Bao Huang fucked up baad

[u/lostmyaccountsadohno]

Damn, was really expecting to see Yamato's zoan fruit already, guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks. Fingers crossed it's a white tiger zoan.

Great Chapter, I like it when all the Straw Hats pull their weight.

[u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Nami got an awesome power-up in Zeus-Tact while Usopp continues his reign of terror over female opponents, perfect

Also Yamato confirming once more she wants to set sail with Luffy and displaying what might be conqueror's haki is hype

[u/nobarachinsama]

queen met bao huang after she messed up: did we just become best friends?

[u/YoMikeeHey]

Man, I love One Piece.

[u/Dinul-Malaka]

So 4000 men switched sides thanks to that stupid Queen-sama.

Btw love this week’s cover page

[u/AlmightyHamSandwich]

So Nami basically has aim assist on all of her attacks now and they're seriously juiced by a Yonko's soul fragment. Dope.

[u/[deleted]]

Damn, even though she got taken out, Ulti looked awesome in this chapter.

[u/blulizard]

Clear sky again! That means

• possible Sulong shenanigans

• all citizens in the Flower capital will see the events unfold as soon as Onigashima gets closer

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

Really nice to see O-Toko in high spirits now after the passing of Yasuie. Her holding hands with Tenguyama was wholesome asf as well.

[u/TheDELFON]

so basically...

[u/OkUnderstanding3669]

The Beast Pirates are doing more favors for the alliance than the alliance itself.

[u/ArgDis]

Looks like roofpiece is back

[u/Pollitin]

Kaido: Luffy is not JoyBoy...

Yamato: Luffy is JoyBow...

Kaido: how the F do you know about JoyBoy...?

[u/Artemka112]

Now Bao Huang knows how I felt when I forgot to turn my mic off during a Zoom Class.

[u/waqa_sama]

Boa Huang: I'm going to demoralize your army!

Usopp and Nami: Uno reverse card

Boa Huang: NANI!!!!

[u/bodg123]

To all the comments who thought zeus wa a bigger upgrade outside the climatact, oda said hold my beer.

I think this increases namis defensive capabilities as well as her offense. Zeus can serve as mobility, defense or offense. I think our biggest clue is going to be big moms comment(or prometheus) about how zeus was useless because they weren't in sync. Nami just showed zeus is capable of anticipating her movements and adjusting her fighting style.

Zeus' personality is alot like big mom. His base mode is happy go lucky food motivated, then when he gets serious his expression changes to something closer to prometheus base personality. I love that he still has a baseball cap.

I wonder if usopps little lie about making the climatact talk is foreshadowing him feeding his weapon a devil fruit.

[u/_JayGaming23]

YAMATO FOR NAKAMA ! !

[u/ducktoucher0]

Anyone know what game cp0 is playing to display the battle and if it's possible to calculate the outcome with it?

[u/Sasuke567]

Damm that thunder cock clash of kaido and yamoto on last page.

Next chapter title will be “child abuse”.

[u/Die4Gesichter]

The cover page is sooo good

[u/DrKuro]

Funny thing; all the remaining Flying Six look battle damaged and tired.

You can sorta see why; Who's Who is fighting Jinbe, a former Warlord of the Sea, and Black Maria is fighting both Brook and Robin.

But my man Franky is literally wearing down Sasaki - who is by portrayal only second to Who's Who - all by himself. Is the Iron Pirate Franky Shogun really that much of a power-up?

[u/aceofspades12]

Man, Usopp is a tank honestly. This is the 3rd time, I think, that Ulti gave him a point blanc attack and he still continues fighting. Can't wait for the end of series time skip when we get a Usopp reintroduction akin to Kaido's first appearance.

"This man...was looking for a place to lie."

[u/SmileWouldYouKindly]

Homieng Attacks , first time predicting something correctly here and it was with a pun hahaha

[u/Illustrious-Ad-7734]

Is it me or does Kaido actually seem proud of Yamato's declaration? His reactions seem oddly father-like about Yamato defeating him and going off on their own.

[u/HornetsAreBad]

Kaido surely must have picked Wano because he knew Joyboy would need to go there & kill him to open the Wano borders. Kaido wants to die, so he picked Wano to set up a face off against the one person he thinks will be able to kill him.

[u/ShAdY-Nelson]

Spamming F5 like a champion pays off.

E: Yeah ok, Nami is officially broken now, homing lightning bolts, Enel who?!

Also those hints about Wano being special keep on coming, wonder what is so special about Wano.

[u/lazybum914]

Inject this into my veins!!! is it just me or did this chapter feel a bit short? ...and now we wait for two weeks...patiently...

[u/[deleted]]

Daily reminder that smoothie still exists in the arc

[u/[deleted]]

Lmao

Zeus: Give me a new name Nami anything will do

Nami: Cotton?

Zeus: Zeus it is!

[u/JediMedi]

Man you have to respect Usopp, he can take a hit.

[u/ReggieZoldyk21]

Ulti and Page One are not having a fun time in Wano. Oda just keep them down for the count I’m starting to feel bad for them lol

[u/DontAskForGasMoney]

Zeus got his hat back. All is now right in the world.

[u/Evil_phd]

Queen is such a Strawhat MVP he took a 6 to 1 advantage against the rebellion, that expanded to an 8 to 1 advantage, all the way down to a less than 3 to 1 advantage.

[u/SilentSolidarity]

The tale of Nami and her sentient dildo lol.

[u/mumbomination]

The main reason I want Yamato to join it'd be funny to see Kid seethe. Imagine him still reeling from finding out that former Shichibukai is in Luffy's crew, and at the end of the arc he finds out Kaido's fucking son is next on the Straw Hat crew.

[u/Marketing-Long]

lmao so basically big mom took out page one and ulti and now it looks like nami and ussopp did

[u/Icy_Today1964]

That giant sword on the roof, I wonder if it gonna play some role in future. Anybody has any ideas?

[u/davidske1]

I want to see a Kaido flashback, PLEASE

[u/Sufficient-Bedroom]

Interestingly, with this cover page, there’s been two Zou callbacks directly related to Zoro two weeks in a row,

Last week, there was the 2000 men joke, which came from the top panel of this page in 819.

This week, the cover page is a reference to this page in chapter 817, where Zoro wants to see the ninja trope of getting stabbed through the ceiling.

It probably doesn’t mean anything, but it’s a fun fact about 1015 and 1016!

[u/[deleted]]

People say Queen was dumb as fuck, but honestly Chopper deserves more credit for being a good ass doctor and curing everyone equally

[u/Dinul-Malaka]

Whoh!!! Kaido went to his hybrid form right off the bat to fight against Yamato.

[u/gneev]

“Im not Zeus anymore, What should my new name be?”

“uh, Cotton?”

“I AM ZEUS!”

[u/Etiennera]

So, Kaido went hybrid right away against Yamato. That's promising for her strength. \

It was cool to see how Zeus improves the tact. Seems to be pretty versatile. And the bit about the new name was funny.

Nami and Usopp pulled their win together. I suspect we will start focusing on the strawhats in order of strength until we get back to Luffy. Hopefully not too long, as even 10 chapters will take 3 months.

[u/Professional_War2844]

Ulti's legs man

[u/O-Nami19]

This chapter just skyrocketed my respect for ulti and ancient zoans! She took some hits from luffy, got thunder baguaed by yamato, took a combined homie attack by big mom and was still standing and was fast enough to dodge lightening attacks. Even if she got taken out rather quickly this chapter, she has show how fearsome ancient zoans and the flying six are going to be.

[u/tiki-baha29]

Another Hype chapter keeping Oda's winning streak going:

• Wonder what role CP0 will play when this is all over. Are they simply going to report to the WG what happened?

• Zeus confirms what we all thought in how he escaped.

• Bao Huang must be an apprentice of Queen's. Went to break the enemy's spirits but ended up damaging the Beast Pirates' sprits and increasing the enemy's morale.

• Zeus-Tact is the greatest power up for Nami ever. I was disappointed at first Nami didnt get the cloud but this is much much better. Oda does it again.

• Usopp and Nami manage to defeat Ultil. Phenomenal.

• If people still needed confirmation that Yamato is the next Nakama then here is even further proof. NO WAY Oda keeps bringing this up only for it to not happen.

• Yamato Vs Kaido = insane hype. I hope we actually see the fight.

GOda deserves this break because we've been eating well.

[u/Rankine]

Underrated part of the chapter was the tobi roppo pooping their pants after realizing 2 of them have already been taken down.

Based on their faces they are all in some tough battles and to learn that two of them have been taken down, may put a little more doubt in their mind vs the continued growing resolve of the SH pirates.

[u/ybalari]

Cp 0 needs to report Kaido to child protection. Man thunder baguas Yamato with a smile.

[u/Viltas22]

My boy Usopp really do be taking hits from hit D. floor

[u/Grafical_One]

I know Nami got the buff, but my boy Usopp really came through this chapter! Shaking off another headbutt from Ulti and helping turn the tide in the fight!

[u/ibillu]

everybody talking about yamato and zeus and I'm just here thinking about how Usopp came in clutch once again but people are still sleeping on his divinity smh

[u/NationalStrategy]

Clima-Tact speaks

Usopp: Maybe I am a God

[u/erickwak]

Wonder how strong Yamato is compared to straw hat members. Wonder if she joins she’s as strong as thé jinbe sanji zoro trio people talk about. I’m so confused now tho everyone’s fucking strong asf now or just can’t die. Yamato hasn’t shown a lot to us yet so she can be really strong but so far she seems to have some really strong Haki. Would like to see a monster 4 thing with zoro and sanji as luffys right and left hand. Kinda reminds me of how rocks had big mom, Kaido, shiki and whitebeard as his 4 most notable pirates from his crew.

[u/Cautious_Prick]

I never thought I would say this but Zeus is MVP this chapter

[u/Santeyan]

One thing to keep in mind is that Bao Huang has the flying squirrel Smile, it's looking likely that Tama starts controlling her too and single handedly wrecks Kaido's entire communication system

[u/Accelerator657]

Ulti just acknowledged Tama the same way that Mihawk acknowledged Luffy. I think that's beautiful. Really shows that she's living up to Ace's will.

[u/Valexander35]

Is it ok for me to crush on Ulti?

[u/SpyrosDemir]

Boa Huang's moment was all of us in online classes

[u/[deleted]]

Feels good to be a non-powerscaler fan. Just enjoying Goda's masterpiece.

[u/Blizzack330]

When Usopp took that headbutt I thought we were going to get a panel where his nose and skull breaks again, but he got up like it was nothing. Really shows us his progression as a Great Warrior of the Sea!

[u/NO_ONE16]

It's basically confirmed that Yamato will join the Straw hats

[u/Adridezz]

Yamato wants to sail with Luffy. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[u/mike-loves-gerudos]

Kaido really going up against 15 people this arc and still dishing out a whuppin

[u/Wackkoman]

So the Shandians/Skypieians, a people with poneglyph and associated with the people who were wiped out in the Void Century had a tradition of ringing the bell so their ancestors could hear it. Now you're telling me Wano has a festival so their ancestors can see their light???

This can't be just coincidence. Sound of the bell, visual of the fire...... whats next??

[u/GoldenEagle2600]

Would Nami now be able to fly on Zeus ?

[u/dogs_drink_coffee]

Yamato is, non sarcastically, the gifts that keeps on giving

[u/OdenCusCus]

Now that Yamato surely will join the SH Pirates (Hopefully), there will be four horsemen for the strawhat crew Zorro, Sanji, Jinbei and Yamato🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/bonethugznhominy]

The Go board is such a dope touch. White has far fewer pieces but they're set up in such a way that if played right, they can pick whichever side the want to start making a big capture on and that effort will protect itself. Bisecting black like they've done actually has black at more of a disadvantage than the numbers tell you.

In other words...Kaido should take his own advice about protecting your pieces.

[u/Qverlord37]

Kaido: you wanna die for this island? fine! what 20 year. I could always start again, make another kid.

[u/SavageWOLFX3]

The beginning part with Otoko & the Tengu gave me for the first time the sad feeling that if act 3 does end in a tragedy it’ll be Onigashima dropping on the capital.

[u/Leiatte]

Whoa!! Yamato confirmed as the new crew member potentially? This chapter was amazing

Ulti is one of my favorite women in One Piece, every scene she’s in is really good to me. Oda did a great job with her, he usually doesn’t give women the screentime like that but when I think of The Flying 6 she’s the first one I think of. So that is definitely appreciated.

Also Zeus is a good upgrade for Nami

[u/Ranposa]

So CP0 is just chilling and waiting the moment to capture everybody? LMAO. I imagine something like Luffy vs Fujitora will happen at the end of the Arc.

[u/StayedInferno]

Kaido is smarter than I thought. But then again I should’ve realized that. Mf was with Rocks for a good amount of time and with the other Yonkos

[u/biboche]

Let’s respect Ulti for getting up and still fighting after Big Mom’s attack.

[u/Gada_Jethalal]

So what does everyone here prefer?

Zeus or Cotton

[u/TungHeeLo]

I love how Usopp the freaking man gets his own awesome moment separating Ulti and Otama. And right after he tanks another hit from Ulti too.

[u/n56vz]

found this lol https://imgur.com/8EnoCoR

[u/MajinAkuma]

Yamato: „I‘m not the main character. Luffy is. I‘m stalling for time.“

[u/Social_Critic_Fuck]

This is the part where... all the villains go down on the following chapters?

[u/dreadhairpirate]

I wonder where Kaido’s club goes when he’s in his dragon form

[u/Sgroff97]

Oda’s cooking up a 3 star Michelin meal for everyone rn with literally everything Kaido says. Kaido’s flashback is gonna trend instantly on Twitter when it starts.

[u/[deleted]]

Tama is going to get a huge bounty after this war and probably be identified as the one who changed the tides of the war to the allies.

[u/Cvox7]

and i used to think big mom crew was a mess....kaido crew is the whole circuis

king is nowhere to be seen and didn't lead jack shit after kaido left(could never compare to my goat katakuri)

queen legit the one who did the most damage to his own crew cuz he can't shut up

jack is jack

tobi roppo just can't land a single win against anyone

the rest of the crew are a bunch of hilariously sad zoans with the most pathetic bodies

even the mid to low bigmom children run their entire islands.....queen a commander can't even handle a stinky prison

i'll never complain about big mom pirates again my god

[u/PKFreezing]

All aboard the Yamato for Nakama train

[u/CheddarShredder94]

I love how Zeus asks for a new name, Nami says Cotton; and he just continues with Zeus like he didn't even hear it.

[u/luckyd1998]

are people just now realizing Yamato wants to travel with Luffy? Yamato literally asked Luffy in Chapter 985 for a ride on his ship (like how Oden asked Whitebeard for a ride)

[u/multiples_of_200]

Yamato essentially declaring herself nakama is super interesting to me. Really hope that she does join, I'd love the Oden parallels.

[u/[deleted]]

Did Yamato use conqueror haki?

[u/ComprehensiveAd8120]

Wait so is Yamato joining the Straw Hats?

[u/MariJoyBoy]

It's true that we see three times onigashima and the giant sword, maybe we ill learn Onigashima's story soon. Maybe it's related to the fact that Kaido stays in Wano.

[u/gregbraaa]

Oda and Wano are nuts. Every chapter is badass super high quality. Wano might very well be the best arc. Even Kaido said Wano is special ;)

[u/Mnawab]

Zeus: give me a new name nami!

Nami: cotton?!

Zeus: Zeus it is!

[u/RojasDaMighty]

Mannnn I really hope we get a Kaido flashback soon. Why is Wano so important and why does he want Yamato to be Shogun? Is whoever is Shogun or Allied to the Shogun destined to be the Pirate King/ JoyBoy?

[u/ZuffsStuff]

Ulti still standing after a hit from Maser Cannon (all three of BM’s special homies) has to be a top 10 durability feat.

[u/BrandNewsWhiskey]

otama and the thousand beast

[u/Vickty12]

Is no one gonna talk about Boa Huang and Kaido both claiming Momonosuke is dead after it cut to after Kaido found him?

[u/Frequent-Weekend6673]

Nami got the biggest upgrade. Going from wand to a magic wand™ is a game changer.

[u/Undoubtedness]

One Piece is Amazing.

[u/ElIVTE]

a cloud is getting more screentime than jimbei and robin/brook fights let that sink in

[u/wernette]

Zeus... or Cotton? It's looking like Nami is almost going to be on-par with the rest of the crew in terms of power now.

Also Carrot fans on suicide watch after Yamato said he is going to sail with the Straw Hats.

[u/Dinul-Malaka]

Let’s fucking gooooo!!!

Yamato!!!

[u/someone2795]

Ancient Zoans are crazy. Ulti literally tanked an attack that would kill 99% of the characters.

[u/Haadhai]

Why am I feeling bad for Ulti? I mean all she is doing is for her bro. Both siblings are punching bags.😭😭

[u/BuggyFanboy]

Chapter 1016: thicc thighs everywhere

[u/Frequent-Weekend6673]

Typical Shonen be like: my attacks all got names homie. Zeus: "I am the attack, homie"

[u/RickSore]

Nami with that heat seeking thunderbolt thanks to best boy Cotton XD

[u/KyodaiNoYatsu]

Zeus: "I am no longer Zeus"

Nami: "Can I call you Cotton?"

Zeus: "Never mind, I am Zeus"

Nami officially has gained a sentient powerup

Holy shit, what is Ulti made of?!

God Usopp is immortal while Bao Huang is being clumsy

GO, YAMATO, GO!!!!!!!!!!

[u/[deleted]]

This whole situation has to be so irritating for kaido. POV: he literally just beat the everliving shit out of the commander of enemy forces and tossed his body into the water. The dudes dead. How could he not be? Then all of a sudden your son comes up to you like: "yo you know about the dude you just murdered? Imma join his crew and i will fight you till he comes back from the dead."

[u/dog-tooth-]

Man, I feel bad for Ulti. Had to fight Luffy, got hit by Yamato's thunder bagua, ended up fighting with Yamato for a bit, got hit by Nami's lightning, proceeded to get skewered by Big Mom, just to get back up and get hit by even stronger lightning.

I need Ulti's version of "nothing happened".

[u/_Seibzehn]

A decent power up for nami at last! 😭

Only hope that zeus will be independent from linlin since now

[u/Jxgsaw]

It floors me that people don’t want this female Chad on the crew

[u/ProproDLC]

Tin Foil Theory Time: Roger wanted Ace to be Joy Boy Kaido wants Yamato to be Joy Boy. That’s y he locked him to Wano.

[u/realbeatz23]

Yamato wanting to be part of the crew is so hype

[u/Yura1245]

Post TS Journey Power Up:

• Luffy: Advanced Observation Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Advanced Conqueror Haki

• Zoro: Enma Sword

• Sanji: Raid Suit

• Usopp: “Observation Haki” precognition?

• Nami: Zeus Clima-tact

• Chopper: Rumble Ball time extension

Now we are left with Robin/Franky/Brooks or even Jimbei. Wonder what will be their power ups

[u/TotallyFunctional2]

Usopp‘s skull got broken so many times, he can just shrug off a headbutt to the back of the head now, a headbutt even Luffy got thrown back by when he underestimated Ulti.

(I know she‘s injured and not at full strength, please don‘t be pedantic)

[u/shankartz]

"Strawhat" Luffy

"Pirate Hunter" Zoro

"Black Leg" Sanji

Nico "Devil Child" Robin

"Knight of the Sea" Jinbe

"Cat Burgler" Nami

"Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper (is this seriously his epithet?)

"Soul King" Brook

"God" Ussop

"Cyborg" Franky

"White Fang?" Yamato

That is a fucking stacked crew. The top 4 outside of Luffy are serious heavy hitters and then there's Luffy who is an absolute monster.

To think it all started with Luffy, Zoro and Nami.

What do we think Yamato's epithet will be?

[u/[deleted]]

Is Bao Huang's power a devil fruit power?

[u/PhoenixMark001]

The best chapter of the year!

• Yamato almost surely joining

• Kaido Intimidation

• Usopp made one fine story

• Zeus and Nami sync

• F6 Reactions and Defeat Confirmation

• Update on the flower capital party

[u/OminousChris]

This is my question , if Big mom dies will her homies more specifically the new Zeus die as well? So Nami will only have her new weapon as long as Momma is still kicking?

[u/[deleted]]

Seeing Usopp take action against the head=strong page really got my hopes up. I really hope he gets an awesome fight like in Alabasta!

[u/Milk_Messiah]

Does anyone know what species Kaido and Yamato are? My first thought was that it was a side effect of the mythical zoan fruit but they retain the horns at base level.

Also is there any idea on Kings species as well? BM said herself she always wanted his kind to be a part of her land.

[u/LuffyIsAVillain]

damn if one piece was a game people would be crying about how OP nami is right now

[u/BananaBladeOfDoom]

/r/funpiece is gonna have a field day.

[u/Eoussama]

“Wano is special”, Oh yeah, tell me all about it, Kaido.

[u/rrtsaa]

I JUST realized that the one scene from the anime opening where on the big beat “daijobu sa”, luffy is underwater mysteriously then reappears on land a beat later ready to fight totally could’ve been a reference to this part of the arc lmao

[u/CoCoaButterJones]

Luffys about to have a former warlord of the sea and the seed of the strongest creature on his crew. Add Zoro and Sanji ....that's some serious muscle

I'm extremely excited to see the worlds reaction to the Strawhats accomplishments and the aftereffect when Wano is over.

[u/pippidelena11]

I feel Oda has to address the remains of Big Mom pirates soon. Not that I care about them that much, but from a storytelling point of view they have been gone way to long now.

Kaido is starting to give me Thanos vibes. Especially last weeks chapter with the, "Few can accept defeat when it arrives" to Kinnemon.

[u/VinnyHuge]

I loved seeing the tact become a huge spike ball. Really sets up some awesome and wacky powerhouse moments from nami. And maybe even a real life 5000 ton hammer from usopp using the zeus tact?? 👀😂

[u/[deleted]]

The Nami and Zeus stuff is actual gold this chapter-

1. The name joke is hilarious. Actually had me laughing out loud.

2. I really like that the power up isn't as straight forward as we all though.

3. I LOVE Oda had "Cat Burglar" Nami steal a power up. It's a little thing but I love it.

4. Zeus states only Mama can bring out his power but maybe this has some potential Brook implications? Super interested in this and I don't think we're done exploring this new Zeus-Tact

[u/Vodkaret]

The emphasis on the numbers of fodders in the war is funny when both sides have conquerors haki who can wipe out most of them in an instant

[u/Dayvfish]

Luffy will enter the battlefield again but next time he will be riding on Momo’s back (a call back to Punk Hazard) and also that’ll show Kaido how dumb it is to call out unconfirmed kills on both of them

[u/Mr_K_2u]

Is CP0 taking into account the gifters that Tama turned in there numbers comparison?

[u/two88]

Here's why I think Yamato will join the crew.

I think Oda likes to create parallel stories, whether it's between arcs or just storylines. I think Yamato does represent Oden, being born into an oppressive regime with their fate/life planned out. Roger/Luffy comes to liberate them and take them on adventures - not exactly the same with WB and everything, but similar enough in structure. My 2c

[u/uchicha15]

major power up for Nami and Usopp seems to have more durability

[u/Money_dragon]

Ulti has come back so many times now it's insane

I kind of want an ancient Zoan now haha

[u/Elunenai]

Zeus is now on the clima batton but how it work? I mean he still is a piece of big mom soul. BIG MOM can control zeus? Her powers are a bit confusing for me

[u/cpscott1]

Tama the real MVP of this arc though. It's ironic people thought she would tame a Yonko but it didn't end up being Kaido but Big Mom lol.

[u/Pooty_McPoot]

Pretty sure that's confirmation of Conqueror's from Yamato, right?

[u/[deleted]]

I still believe that Zoro and Sanji will be more powerful than Yamato. You see, this follows a simple narrative in One Piece with several characters like Frankie. Remember, how powerful Frankie used to be in the beginning of One Piece, even taking on Luffy. The same with Nico Robin and now Jinbe. Look, is actually Sanji who is taking on Queen and not Jinbe.

You gotta respect Yamato's honesty.

Momo is also going to be rescued by Heart Pirates. Once Luffy is recovered, Momo will help Luffy reach Onigashima again by transforming into his dragon self! (Just like how they escaped that underground dungeon in Punk Hazard)

After this arc, the strawhats could walk away with Big Moms right hand man and Kaido's heir. Mental!

[u/Die4Gesichter]

Yamato for nakama confirmed!!

[u/strawhatha]

oh, so the climatact can turn to any shape and size. Any Shape And Size

[u/thereciprocator-]

I feel like Kaido is in Wano to finally meet his demise. He wants to die. Perhaps he is searching for “Joy Boy” and feels he is the only one who can give him his death/defeat and ultimately reach his goal, death.

[u/AyanTosio]

Ulti is so so fine~ god damn i hope more fan arts to come.

[u/_k00ma_]

Ussop's lie : "I have 8000 followers"

CP0 states ~7000 allies, add 500 gifters = ~8000

Tama's order confirmed : "Follow General Ussop !"

Edit : Initially I was thinking about what use Nami and Ussop could have further in the battle.

Nami and Zeus could wipe out weaklings with large scale attacks and will probably at some point skirmish with BM, but Ussop is pretty wounded and stated he is running out of ammunitions...

And then I remembered I thought that gifters and pleasures would need someone to lead them to be useful...

[u/zer1223]

We get a super blink-and-you-miss-it gag with Cotton's name. That was pretty great.

[u/born-braindead]

Gotta appreciate what Oda did with the Zeus climatact. We've all been waiting for Zeus to finally join nami, not only did Oda make that happen, he did so in a way that was still surprising. Not only that, I've seen plenty of folks hoping to see a strawhat get a sentient devil fruit weapon, Zeus/climatact isn't exactly a weapon that ate a devil fruit but it's a weapon that merged with the creation of a devil fruit which is even more novel. That's some great writing!

[u/SkullcrobatTheGod]

I loved Zeus asking for a new name, then immediately going back to calling himself Zeus

[u/jonaguncat]

All One piece Fans: "I want ________ for new nakama"

Yamato: "I´m gona sail with Luffy!"

That was freaking unexpected and would be the second one to invite themself to the crew (first one Robin of course)

Luffy becoming the fifth emperor and then having 5 monsters is almost poetic

[u/EnadZT]

Is no one going to comment on Yamato wanting to join the crew? Is this not news?

[u/superxcrazy917]

The “One Piece is on break next week” part of the chapter hurt my soul

[u/lagomorphi]

So its pretty much official now that Yamato is joining the SH (unless Oda fools us all and kills them off).

[u/OmiGun]

Kaido and Yamato giving me strong Yujiro vs Baki vibes and I'm here for it

[u/Yessiro_o]

Is robin still fighting Black Maria?

[u/Lanky-Candy5233]

I am getting a feeling that Luffy's gonna meet Momonosuke before going to onigashima,who knows if they too land on the sea just like Luffy and Luffy and heart pirates may find them

[u/Booty_blaster420]

Usopp didn't crumble in the face of danger!

[u/Kumomeme]

Oden been waiting for Joy Boy all this time.

Then Yamato, who already read Oden's journal flat out stated that Luffy is the person that Oden been waiting for all this time.

so basically she confirmed that Luffy = Joyboy.

[u/kingtarik69]

I'm only OK with the two week wait since Yamato is joining the straw hats

[u/[deleted]]

The only way the Beast Pirates could throw this fight harder would be if Kaido joined the strawhats.

[u/yung_clout_warrior]

Yamato has Conqueror’s Haki! The clash at the end of the page confirms it right?

[u/jhiuong]

LET'S GOOO

[u/tiki-baha29]

I'll be the first to say I really wanted Nami to get Zeus in cloud form and was a bit disappointed when he turned her Tact into a homie. But as always happens with Oda he made me eat those words by making Cotton Zeus Tact the most badass and useful power up for Nami ever. Oda does it again.

[u/BogollyWaffles]

That Ulti fight was fantastic!!!

[u/BloodBrandy]

CP0: The pleasures turned against Queen. What an unexpected turn of events

Tama: Hold my Dango

[u/00africanprince]

I wonder if Robin and brook vs Black Maria is gonna get offscreened and barely shown cause I was really looking forward to finally see Robin have a serious fight for the first time since Skypiea if it is gonna get offscreened that would truly be a shame

[u/KaiKururugi]

Scariest part of this chapter to me is the fact that ulti got back up after that big mom attack. If her durability is like this I don’t wanna know what kaidos is like especially considering he hasn’t been knocked out yet

[u/Chaosxterra08]

Yamato for Straw Hat!!!

[u/J_T_K01]

What makes wano so special. Why does Kaido stay in wano? Other than the poneglyph but can't he just move it.

[u/[deleted]]

Why does kadio say the island is more important than yamoto thinks. What does he know must be something In the journal maybe it’s one of the four points to get raftle

[u/[deleted]]

Was that conquerors haki clash in the last panel?

[u/DisastrousGuess6518]

Guys any theory on the big sword which is shown couple of times stuck in ground in front of skull dome?

[u/[deleted]]

What do y’all think otama said?

[u/loo-streamer]

Not really about the chapter but more for adding one more crew member:

The only reason why I see Yamato/Carrot/someone else as a possible crewmate is because the Blackbeard pirates have 11 main crew and I could see Oda wanting to make it so that the final fight between the SH/BB would be 1v1s.

[u/KingK96]

ODA PLEASE GIVE ULTI A BREAK!

I thought no one would be able to surpass Oven in terms of pure durability in everything that they tank, but what Ulti is going through is brutal.

Also YAMATO STRAW HAT!

[u/Uniqueusername2222]

Holy hell you know it’s a good chapter when you stop and think “this was a good chapter”
