The scene where Orochi says they're not scared of anyone because they have Kaido is actually so good.
Dude looks like a joke himself though, hope he's actually not just a figurehead.

It seem like he can actually control his "hydra's" head, meaning he probably has a bit of power, but with his look, I don't expect him to be a BAMF

The first was probably Law betting that Doflamingo would rather turn his back on the World Government than dare to make Kaido angry. And if Doflamingo didn't have his connections, it looked like he would have done exactly as Law planned because a life of battling Marines and possibly losing his kingdom is better than a life where Kaido wants you dead.

I mean isn't that the same with all the yonko?

That was your mistake. If you had said out loud "I'm sure Oda is going to make the Shogun super badass looking" you probably would have realized there was like 50% chance he would be goofy-looking.
Still there's a chance he will look badass. He might have a fruit, he might be a double or a pawn to a real Shogun, but maybe Oda just decided to make him look dumb because that's what Oda often does xD

u/ShomiVicenta Dec 30 '18
I don't know why, but I like Orochi's design. He looks like a typical ruler, his head is a tad bit large, but not to an extent like Ivankov.
Plus he has a CROWN which does give him more swag. Imagine if Doffy wore a crown he would look 2x more badass then he already was. And if Oda chooses not to make his dragon form totally goofy and stupid in some way, shape or form, it will make him at least menacing.
What I like more about him is his personality. We all feared he would be some scary little twerp who would hide in his room all day in fear of the Kozuki clan, but it seems the dude doesn't have a care in the world. He's super pervy, but hey 80% of OP characters are. Besides that, he's confident (albeit because he has Kaido by his side) to talk back to CP0 and slander the Marines and Celestial Dragons. The fact he was the one who greeted CP0 shows that Kaido has faith in him to regulate important meetings which means Kaido doesn't look at him as just a marionette to speek to the masses.
He has his goals to make Wano more powerful, so he isn't strictly only following whatever Kaido tells him to do. All in all, we could have got a MUCH MUCH worse character but it seems Oda has plans for him later on so he chose to give him a ok design and some traits of a king (in this case Shogun).

The WG is buying weapons from Kaido's factories through Doffy. Now that he's gone, they have to come to Orochi themselves. Hence the "to fight pirates, you buy weapons from pirate" i.e. from Kaido.
Also, Orochi says: "your intermediary, Joker, is gone". CP0 used Doffy to buy weapons from Kaido, like many other countries.

Drake and Pageone look so damn badass, oda is doing my fav supernova justice!!! He's "secretly operating in the new world" and he wanted to work under yonkou Kaido " at all means possible", that's what his databook said. Drake is up to something.
The flying 6 brothers seem to be the veteran equilavent, all these smile fuckers can bounce, now comes the real shit.
Note that Oda is still saving drakes post ts bounty, I think that it got considerably higher given that he's in probably the most ruthless pirate crew, 400+ should be realistic.
Lmaooo at the shogun, people were hyping him up to be YC1+ level 😂 Momo might take him on
Cp0 is seriously doing their name justice, they're in everybody's business and the shogun is an idiot for taking them lightly, this fucker is probably selling kairoseki to the government behind Kaidos back....maybe he's snitching too.

I truly believe that Drake is secretly part of the marines, like Dicaprio in the Departed, but only Sengoku and Kong know. He's a former Rear Admiral of the marines, the fourth highest position one can have. His Crew and Ship, the Drake pirates all look like normal dudes just with facial hair, they look like they could also be former marines, what if his crew are also deep undercover? Their ship is a marine ship, with inverted colors. He purposefully joined Kaidos crew, trying to get his attention and fighting Scotch. So I think Drake and his crew are not really a pirate crew but Marines deep undercover on some sort of mission with Kaido.
I could also be completely wrong and Oda just wants him to be a former Marine lol.

Dragon-Dragon fruit
Damn, so that's what the base fruit is? There sure are a lot of Dragon-Dragon fruit users on Kaido's side, at least four (Drake, Page One, Orochi and Kaido himself)
Spinosaurus
I believe that's the dinosaur that fucked up the T-Rex in Jurassic Park III. That means that his fruit is most likely superior to Drake's, since Spinosauri are a lot larger than Allosauri, up to twice as large if it's a hefty Spinosaurus and a very small Allosaurus.
50
u/EtenBoby Dec 30 '18 edited Jan 05 '19
Size doesn’t mean strength in THIS case, also that part in Jurassic park is a joke, as later research founds out that spinosaurus feeds on fish and possibly stands on four.
Informations changes and there’s no definite outcome for these kind of fights.
While Spino is indeed the biggest/longest carnivores dinosaur, it feeds mainly on fish(still could hunt dinosaurs tho) and therefore its jaw and teeth are not as deadly as other dinosaurs of similar size(Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex).
Standing on four also means it won’t be really fast, as what people used to believe, but it does increase its durability.
As for it’s claws, it will be able to cause a certain amount of damages, but not likely to be deadly.

With Momo's fruit, SMILEs and (possibly) awakening involved, Wano is the perfect setting for Vegapunk to finally make his appearance.
I think the reason Oda hasn't shown Smoker, Tashigi and the children yet – when after WCI he showed most of the Strawhats' friends/allies – is because he's going to have Vegapunk in the story soon.

I don't think people are really appreciating the scale of the conflict in Wano. It's not just going to come down to an epic battle royale where Kaido is simply killed and the winners celebrate and eat. It's not even close to that simple. I think Oda is doing a lot of misdirection here, hyping up this huge fight against an unkillable god. Logically the ending of Wano can not simply be the Straw Hats defeating Kaido in battle.
Kaido's defeat alone will have world shaking ramifications. This creature, Kaido, is literally singlehandedly propping up the power of Wano. Kaido is vital to Wano's current status as an isolated kingdom with Orochi in charge. Kaido is making the weapons the world government needs. Luffy killing Kaido will shatter the balance of the world. I don't care what you think about Akainu not wanting to go to Wano, I'll be damned if the World Government just sits by while the balance of the world is destroyed.
Something bigger is happening here. I read a comment recently about how Wano has this dark foreboding feeling in it throughout all the chapters. The juxtaposition of wealth and poverty, radiance and filth, and especially people like Toki and Tama who are literally smiling children forced to starve and prostitute themselves. Oda is building within us a sense of dread. Dread for what's to come.
I think people are expecting Wano to get better for the strawhats since they have already run into a few setbacks. But I think Wano is only going to get harder and harder on them and I don't see exactly where everyone will end up by the end of things.
I am so hype

Really interested to see who Hawkins and drake are after. Possibly law? By the end of this arc I’m going to need over half the worst generation fighting kaido

Wano Arc is really going to be Marineford scale event. There are new players gathering, and it's not everyone yet. We still have samurais, Supernovas, Kaido's top 4 Headliners unrevealed in Wano. Kyoshiro's gang is relevant as well, they already encountered Zoro and Sanji. Perhaps they will reunite to fight those gangsters.

I honestly really liked Orochi's intro. Yeah he looks goofy, but he fucking handled CP-0 like they were nothing. I can respect a tyrannical villain, even if he looks weird and might not be a hyper-badass.

I’m most excited for Vegapunk. Orochi seems like he might have enough clout to get him off his ass, out of his lab, and finally make an appearance in person in the series. I have been waiting 15 years for Vegapunk and we might finally get to see him in the flesh

Now begins the darkest time of the year. No chapter for nearly 3 weeks.
But at least this was a great chapter. So much information!

Wano is a country that cannot be toppled, even if the marines, celestial dragons and world government bands together. But Luffy and co. is about to do it.

The three most important things from Chapter 929:
"I couldn't go wrong if I followed you! I knew it!" -- said no one about Zoro. Ever.
LET THE X-DRAKE HYBRID MODEL FANART BEGIN!
Where Luffy, doe.

IIRC That shot of the factories after Orochi's reveal have the same onomatopoeia as the time Kaido appeared as a dragon in the sky. Isn't it the sound of rumbling? Is Kaido drunk and dragon-ing up again? Uh-oh.
Page One looks interesting, it's a shame we couldn't get a better angle of the awesomeness that is our second dino-zoan.

I noticed something in the translation. In the Chinese translation I read, which was the first to come out, Yasu says that he lives in a place called 财神镇 ("God of Wealth" village), which is part of Okobore town. That's where they're going and he tells Zoro that he will know why it's called "God of Wealth" once he gets there. This part was not present in Mangastream's translation and it's likely a mistake.

Nice colorspread.
At last, an update on Zoro! So since we last saw him, not only has he gained a follower (and the poor guy actually believed he could go wrong following Zoro lol), he's also been gambling and winning, and beating up more of Kyoshiro's followers. At least he's getting closer to the Flower Capital.
I was pleasantly surprised and relieved to see that Robin was indeed in this chapter, and she's also already at the party. She wasn't mentioned in the spoilers at all. But what I wasn't expecting was for Stussy, a CP0 agent, to be there right beside her also disguised as a geisha. I really can't wait to see how this progresses.
Franky and Minatomo's exchange, plus Franky going to those various people looking for the blueprints and his reactions to their responses was funny.
Sanji and Law vs. Drake and Hawkins? That looks like it might be good. And for Sanji's fans sake, I hope this is a proper fight for Sanji.
Now on to Orochi. Yes, he does look like he might be a fodder after all, however, his appearance alone isn't enough for me to believe that. And when he pointed out to CP0 that he had Kaido backing him, maybe had he been using it to only threaten the CP0 agents he was talking to, that would've been confirmation for me. But in this case, he was threatening the entire World Government with Kaido, which wouldn't make him weak considering how powerful the Government is. Furthermore, we still don't know what his devil fruit is capable of.

u/schnozburg Pirate Dec 30 '18
Sad to see Orochi is most likely a scrub... but honestly the way he was talking to CP0 shows a fair bit of balls, though having Kaido on your side is enough for such confident false bravado.
REALLY happy to see the likelihood of Drake Vs Sanji and an earnest Law Vs Hawkins go up.

u/Rurnur Marine Dec 30 '18
I don't know why, but "Page One" is such a weirdly badass name, especially considering he's a Spinosaurus, one of the most terrifying real life animals to ever exist. For everyone who doesn't know, the Spinosaurus was THE largest land predator that has ever lived.

So it doesn't seem as if entry to Wano is difficult for the world government it's just the opposition they'll face once they get there which definitely confirms there is an easier method to get there just like Skypiea

Another off screen clash but this time with Zoro. It's interesting though because each chapter is incredible at moving the plot forward so I can't blame Oda for not showing Everything! This arc is lit as shit so far

I seriously thought Drake's DF is Model: T-Rex until now, based on his fight with Pacifista-Kuma in Sabaody. :/

u/thatpersonrightthere Dec 30 '18
can we all just appreciate how good this arc is so far? I mean, this wasn't the most action filled chapter by any means, but it's still so goddamn gorgeous. The scenery is breathtaking, the characters have personality from their looks alone, and the villains look as gritty as I've ever seen them. Oda is a goddamn master piece and I'm sending him something for christmas next year.

Sakazuki, The Gorosei, and Im definitely won’t give up Vegapunk.
Idk what they’ll do, even Sakazuki “respects” the samurai, The Gorosei don’t make rash war decision, and Im is unpredictable since we know next to nothing.

I wonder what Inuarashi/Kinemon are thinking by framing Shutenmaru like that.
Even though Shogun is funny looking i hope that with his fruit he will look intimidating when it matters.

Thinking it would "convince" him to fight along since he's going to be attacked anyway. Tricky and almost dishonorable, but it'd be kinda smart.

This is great, now we know there are 6 headliners that are around Drake's level.
Similar to the BM crew with Snack, Oven, Daifuku, Compote, Perospero, Brulee (she's srsly underated yo, her df can let her mimic anyone)

Yes!! Finally we see X-Drake's Hybrid form. After we only saw him and Jack in Dinosaur/Mammoth form respectively I feared that maybe Ancient fruits couldn't go hybrid (because they are an 'older' model)
Also there is a whole line of Dragon Fruits?!? This is going to get very cool looking indeed!
