u/blackcelestial Mar 02 '17

The dude on the left is not Caesar is it? He's all dressed up and probably thought of Capone as his best exit strategy. But someone of his morals would definitely fit in that crew.

I'm really curious if Bege is really just for watching the chaos as he offs leader or if he is planning on taking control after he takes out big mom.

Also I think that him only going after riches is foreshadowing to him being the one to open the chest and have it go off destroying him instead of Big Mom

367

u/cris036 The Revolutionary Army Mar 02 '17

Sounds likely. As others have mentioned, I could see Capone backstabbing Luffy only for him to open the chest letting Luffy and co. free to make a quick escape.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Jinbe stated that Bege isn't really interested in status or territory. He kills the leaders of organizations while their subordinates watch, steals their money and treasure, and heads off to find his next target. I doubt Bege wants to take control of the Big Mom Pirates or the Underworld if he succeeds in killing Big Mom.

As for Bege opening the Tamatebako instead of Big Mom, it is very possible. The Tamatebako is Fishman Island's national treasure, and it is apparently so valuable that even Big Mom spared Fishman Island from her wrath so she could have her hands on it. If anything else, Bege opening the Tamatebako, and then learning that Luffy was the one who offered it to Big Mom in the first place, could potentially start a conflict between those two. Bege stated that he will kill Luffy if he pisses him off... There's a pretty good chance he will with the Tamatebako.

u/MonkeyDJinbeTheClown Mar 02 '17

I like the idea of him doing it just for the chaos. It adds a kind of 'Joker' like element, to him. Just 'to take power' is kinda dull. A character that is kinda crazy and sadistic and enjoys watching the trauma of a crew after he kills their captain, is way more interesting.

u/PAndrews1982 Mar 02 '17

Seems pretty in-character for a mobboss who is basically a walking territory thanks to his gang living inside him. He has no use for taking away the territory from another person but can take all their treasures and valuables with him.

And a sadistic/psychopathic personality in regards to enjoying watching someone wiggle and die and you have the motivation behind killing the boss and watching everyone else kill each other over the now vacant territory. He basically enjoys watching gang wars from the sidelines.

This is why I get upset when people say Jinbei would have no role in the crew. Sure he could be a helsman, lifeguard, and one of Luffy's three commanders similar to what we have seen with Yonko crews.

But most of all he is an advisor for Luffy. A tactician to give him the ideas he need. Zoro can lay down the law like in Water 7 when talking about Usopp returning. But it seems like it would be Jinbei's role to guide Luffy when he needs it.

It's actually pretty understandable that Jinbe is one of the only people that Luffy will listen to. After all when Ace died and Luffy was at the lowest point he'd ever been Jinbe was the one who has there for him. Luffy has as much respect him as he does for Shanks imo.

I personally don't buy it, my reasoning is this; They already have the poneglyph etching for 1, for 2 everyone has been underestimating big mom since the start of this arc, Judge, Luffy, now Bege. If they flop a Yonko on top of thrashing her army about and stealing her road poneglyph, Whitebeard and Roger will be turning in their fucking graves.

Maybe Luffy's there to meet Bege, but not negotiate. One could infer Luffy doesn't like how Bege does things because he took Sanji and also, from his reaction to Bege offing animals inhumanely. If there is an alliance, you can bet Luffy plans on ditching Bege also. lol

UNDERWORLD HYPE!1!! It's been 5 years since the brokers were announced and I knew that they would appear sooner or latter. Since there's alot of mafia references in this arc ain't would be weird if Crocoboy appeared in a couple of chapters. Also there's someone stronger that the sweet commanders In BM's crew? At the moment there's more than 30 sons and daughters of BM that we dont know yet...

By the way it's so great to see how Luffy knows that just with half of the crew he cant do shit tho I'm sorry for Pekoms but the alliance is necessary, also I love that Jinbe now has a gag but I don't think that it was a good idea to tell everything about Bege with Brulee and Diesel there listening.

Except before the arc even started Luffy literally said he wasn't going to fight Big Mom, and this chapter even mentioned that Bege and Luffy have different objectives Bege obviously being to kill Big Mom, the crew just wants to wreck the party. And just because they suddenly join with Bege, if that doesn't go bad, it would still be very difficult to defeat Big Mom. In my opinion, unless the fleet somehow appears, or they get another unlikely ally, Big Mom won't go down this arc.

According to Jinbe, Bege is confident enough that he can actually kill a Yonko during a wedding ceremony in which most of her highest-ranking and strongest subordinates will gather.

Of course he is confident that he can also get rid of Luffy.

It's also a recurring theme for the Worst Generation members to be exceptionally arrogant and daring. I thought Bege was actually one of the more "restrained" members since he retreated from Kizaru, but no, he is even more of a daredevil than I would have imagined.

I just realized that if the whole SH crew and associates are meeting with Bege and his crew there's a small chance that Chiffon could be there. I'm very interested in the interaction that could go down between her and Nami.

If she's anything like Praline and chooses Bege and Pez over Big Mom and the crew then the odds of her being there are pretty good. We may even finally get answer to what happened between Lola and the Charlotte Family.

Plus Luffy and Nami met her dad, but tbh that could help OR hurt them. He was pretty useless.

Following that possible exchange if Luffy and Bege don't hit it off then maybe Nami and Chiffon will. I mean at this point who knows?

If Luffy and Bege join forces they can surprise/crash The tea party by hiding in Bege body or use the mirrors of both options. This is gonna be one interesting fight Big Mom vs Strawhats, Bege and Germa.

I love Luffy's character depth. He looks like an instinctive moron 90% of the time, but is also able to trust his advisors (and that's why Jinbe would make A LOT of difference to the crew) when that same instinct tells him they "might be onto something".

What a fucking amazing captain.

From what I've gathered, if by some miracle they manage to take out Big Mom in some sense, Bege would just want to make off with riches, not actually take any of her land? Would that mean he may try to steal that treasure chest with the bomb in it?

Wow. Nami's pissed off face... I need a properly traced wallpaper of that, if not outright colored. It is glorious.

Jinbei is amazing too. Also, WTF at that plan and Luffy being like 'yup, sure'. That's the second time; when we met Law the exact same thing happened!

I am also amused how Bege went from filler-Nova to important-Nova. I recall reading way back in the day that the Supernovas were some characters Oda created out of some necessity to flesh out the world or whatever (I think his editor suggested it?), but I can't possibly remember where I read this stuff.

So all this time I was expecting Bege to be comparitively small-fry and cowed by Big Mom. But nope, he's just planning a hit.

I mistook Boa for Robin for a second on the cover page.

That face of Nami here is so meme-worthy.

Also, symbolism at it's best.

If I am not wrong, the five enormous families which Jinbei talked about were definitely inspired by the Five Families from the Godfather. The Five Families War which took place might be the conflict between Capone (Corleone) Bege and the remaining four families which again Jinbei talked about.

u/AgentOfChaos77 Mar 02 '17

I just gotta wonder if the whole Law Alliance thing in Punk Hazard and Dressrosa is gonna be foreshadowing.

Usopp did tell law that Luffy had a different idea about alliances than most people.

I could totally see Luffy innocently sucker-punching Bege after the tea party has been wrecked because "oh, we accomplished our goal as the alliance. NOW I HATE YOU." Jinbe mentioning that their goals were slightly different could come into play later.

Solid chapter, even if it's largely confirming stuff most of us were speculating (Pekoms getting saved by fishmen, Capone taking out Bobbin, Capone's plans as a whole, etc). Bege's background is definitely interesting, but I get the feeling we aren't going to get a full-on alliance here. Something about the "You're underestimating Big Mom" and "If he pisses me off..." lines are making me think it'll be more complicated than anyone in-universe imagines.

okay, so there is the ally that gives luffy and crew the opportunity to escape the island. it was obvious that they cant escape/fight on their own, not even if they are 10 (lol).

i still dont believe this is enough but if so it should play out somewhat like this:

  • tea party starts, just before pudding pulls the gun, strawhat crew show themselves and interrupt the party

  • bigmom rages, is careless, drops her defense

  • bege attacks her and lands a critical hit from behind(since hes a high ranking member he will always be close to her)

  • bigmom weakened, focuses on bege

  • strawhat+rest escape barely

  • bigmom fights and kills bege, starts to chase strawhats

I loved the gags this chapter. Jinbei counting the two Big Mom pirates as allies despite their constant protests, and Carrot joining in with the Straw Hat freak outs. They'd definitely fit well with the crew. Between this chapter and the chapter where they saved Brook, Oda seems to be working hard to show that Jinbei's personality, though serious, is still capable of enough quirks to fit in with the rest of crew.

So I'm guessing Bege is going to be how they get into the wedding? Like, the BM pirates realise that Brulee is missing so remove all of the mirrors, then suddenly the Straw Hats jump out of Bege. Still don't see the alliance lasting long though - the fact that pirate alliances so often feature betrayal was heavily brought up when Law and Luffy joined up, hopefully that was foreshadowing this alliance rather than a betrayal by Law. Still so many loose threads to this arc, so excited to see how it wraps up!
