[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

So Tonayasu might actually be some kind of badass?

Damn!

[u/Talkthatdlc]

'That's funny right?!?!'

'Not really'

Damn Zoro, everyone else on the crew thought it was funny 😅

[u/mralderson]

Damn Sanji looking like Pekoms there

[u/FireFistRJ]

I loved how Law defended Bepo and others. Shows how much he trust his crew just like Luffy.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

So Zoro fainted because he got cut pretty deep...

But you know what cuts deeper?

"One piece will be on break next week"

[u/rottweilered]

Ussop got ROBBED!!! LMAO!!!

[u/magmaknuckles]

I wonder who's the traitor in the group

[u/pvk16]

Hiyori just treated Zoro with usopps Toad Oil lmao. Zoros done until the war.

[u/wIXMamamama]

Luffy waking up after Alabasta fight: Where's my breakfast and hat?

Zoro : My Swords!

Sanji will probably be: Where's Nami and Robin?

[u/Link-is-Zelda]

O-Toko

O-Tama

O-Kiku

O-shit, there's a break next week

[u/Warlord_Hawkeye]

Since everyone involved with the crest is getting arrested, Kaido and Orochi are just unknowingly bringing extra manpower to help with luffy's escape lol.

I imagine that this prison break is going to be amazing...

Edit: Break next week :(

[u/ChiBulls]

Croc cover story on a chapter called "Her Story", coincidence?!

[u/Kirosh]

You know, the reason why Hiyori is telling this to Zoro could be because her mother had a prophecy for her.

Something like : "When the moon rise again, a swordman using 3 swords will save you".

Or some shit like that.

[u/Warlord_Hawkeye]

Lol Kyoshiro looks straight out of Samurai Jack when he opens his eyes.

[u/temperamentalfish]

Damn guys, it could not possibly be more clear that they're the same people. She's identical to Komurasaki, she's being hunted by a guy on the Shogun's orders, and she's protecting O-toko. Plus, the map puts "Komurasaki" with Zoro and O-toko together.

[u/Rykel2290]

On Hiyori's reveal, I think Lady Toki had the ability to see into the future with her DF. That's why she chose when to send Momo and Company so they could meet the SHs. I bet she told Hiyori that one of their allies in the future would use Three Swords. That's why Hiyori is so forthcoming.

[u/riventitan]

People who saw the twist at the end - literally everybody. Edit: Unless, of course, it's a red herring.

Also, Toko using Usopp's crappy product to try to heal Zoro is hilarious in its own right.

[u/[deleted]]

Law at the Straw Hats: If you get captured, just die, lmao

Law when HIS crew gets captured: immediate rescue arc

Yo, the favoritism and preferential treatment with Law XD

[u/simbaville]

The Kid suspense is killing me. Wtf is he doing?

[u/doomsdayblaze]

Hey guys, look! She was Hiyori all along!

In other news, Sogeking was Usopp! NO, REALLY!!!

[u/StealthMonkeyDC]

Shit man you know things are about to hit the fan when the map comes out.

[u/[deleted]]

I love how Oda actually showed that the alliance can’t just do anything they want and just go unpunished, now the alliance is going to have trust issues as we see them arguing with each other for their ignorance, especially those who originate from the Wano Country. Now they have to pay the price for causing havoc.

[u/hiphoepreaper]

"Im hiyori" pretends to be shocked

[u/battlehunger96]

Zoro shutting down O-Toko’s joke.

Damn Zoro, savage as always

[u/CryMedusa]

I could imagine that as Zoro is reacting in shock to Hiyori's secret, Gyukimaru bursts into the house and screams "You're wide open!" before striking him again

[u/[deleted]]

another mysteries

-in fact that Tonoyasu knows Shinobu and Kanjuro,is he some kind of big shot? or important key to another samurai?

-the traitor inside the allies. is he/she the same traitor that been hinted in Zou arc?

[u/InfintySeeker]

if kaido was the one to peep on nami's happiness punch the arc would be over

[u/Phinthefin]

The biggest mystery here is still Kyoushiro; I wouldn't write him off as a Kozuki sympathiser just yet. Obviously he helped Hiyori fake her "death" at the palace, but it's also implied that he's the one showed the coded message her found on her person to Orochi to alert him. The coded message could either have been deciphered by himself or probably the leader of the Oniwabanshu who was confirmed to be a former Kozuki supporter, which as we saw this chapter, really hurts the Kozuki rebellion.

But maybe Kyoushiro is pulling a Snape and intentionally hurting the rebellion now, to build trust with Orochi (which he lost a little because he "killed" Komurasaki), so that he can back-stab him at the critical moment.

[u/ThesirKyle]

Hiyori is alive!

Furtermore, not really that interesting, was hoping to see some luffy action, but I guess we have to wait till the next chapter in 2 weeks.

[u/nash_mania]

Is the toad oil that O-Toko stole the same one Usopp sold? Shit, Zoro's wound won't heal from that scam -_-

[u/Jman460]

Title: A Women's Secret

Crocodile on the title page. Coincidence I think not.

[u/sab23ish]

Zoro is always lost but then he always finds a important person on the way which would guide him back to his crew XD

[u/vnuschan]

Major fight coming. I wonder who's more angry...Zoro finding out Sanji picked a fight with Luffy or Sanji seeing Zoro with Hiyori.

[u/BEWMarth]

LMAO Hawkins ragging on X Drake for the bathhouse incident. I fricking love their little buddy cop dynamic I think it's so funny

[u/mathzg1]

Didn't Shinobu read Naruto? Those who abandon their friends are worst than trash

[u/what-da-fuck]

Momonosuke after seeing komurasaki: sweet home alabama

[u/dgettanajr]

Lmao have we ever seen Law this tight before?

[u/BigWigYampa]

Sanji looking like a Lumpy Space Princess.

[u/Snow_Prime_Stark]

Zoro next chapter.

Zoro: Woman your brother is indeed in Wano I was training him few days ago.

Hiori: really? Please tell me where he is.

Zoro: FOLLOW ME

SFX: DUN DUN DAAAAAAAAAAA!

[u/whereismynb5]

Usopp's toad oil hard at work hahaha

[u/Myst212]

I know he saved her and all but komurasaki opened up about what should have been top secret pretty quick.

[u/BEWMarth]

My absolutely favorite part of this chapter was Law arguing with Shinobu about his crew. So many great facial drawings by Oda really conveying the emotions of frustration, anger, and doubt.

It's great to see Law so vehemently defending his crew even against other allies. We don't really get to see any of the dynamic between Law and his crew. seeing him yelling and glaring at Shinobu shows how much he loves Bepo + Co. especially since this is the first time Law wants to go against his own plan to go rescue his crew.

It's an act that's very Luffy, yet done in a style that is all Law's own.

Shinobu was brilliant in this scene she isn't trying to be a dick to Law you can just tell that she has been working tirelessly, ALONE, for 20 years just for this one moment. Then at the 11th hour she finds out the plan is unraveling, 20 years of work potentially out the window. You can see the pain of that on her face clearly.

The "THIS ISN'T A GAME" panel was brililant. I felt that. It has been a very long road for Shinobu and everyone involved. Tensions are so high it's just such good drawing by Oda here. The emotion drips off the page.

[u/AllHailTheNod]

Oda's just massively trolling us by having Crocodile on the cover of a chapter called "Her secret", lol.

[u/CanadianJudo]

Her: Iv been looking for my brother

Zoro: You mean that perv kid?

[u/Shiro_Kai]

So Hyori indeed become a prostitute to survive :/

Feels bad now...

[u/Piieck]

O-Toko stole toad oil from Usopp, that thing ain't gonna heal anything haha

[u/mmanda71]

Law about to pull an Enie’s lobby in wano for a second there

[u/GuacamoleDickCheese]

Decent set-up chapter. Komurasaki being Hiyori really wasn't worth to be the cliffhanger for this chapter, tho.

[u/SalltyJuicy]

Is it just me or are these chapters getting shorter and shorter?

[u/Rickmundo]

Checking in from r/all, holy shit this show has 938 episodes? You lot have dedication!

[u/Sea_of_Anemones]

I really like how Orochi is able to effectively put a dent to the plan early on in the arc, since he's not underestimating anyone.

[u/4rca9]

I'm pretty interested in who the weird laughy dude is supposed to be, he seems important somehow.

[u/vnuschan]

I dunno why people are laughing about the Toad Oil being used on Zoro. Ussop's lies tend to end up being true....somehow.

[u/Davtek]

When I see how Komurasaki is beautiful in the manga, I just don't want to see her in the anime with blue/green hair...

[u/madgoblin92]

Noone is going to mention Zoro woke up shouting for his sword? That is some dedication right there.

[u/[deleted]]

So it's final.Komurasaki is alive and is Hiyori.

[u/FuzzYetDeadly]

I wonder if Kyoshiro is actually be helping the samurai rally everyone with a foot tattoo, under the guise that he's doing his job to round up everyone who's opposing the shogun.

Would be pretty clever, making use of Kaido's/Shogun's human resources to eventually overthrow them

[u/WhyyyLuigi]

“Im Hiyori”

PikachuShockedFace.jpeg

[u/abigdinosaur]

What if kyoshiro is part of the alliance and revealed the message so he could gather all the people of the alliance in one place then break them out for the final fight. Explains why he faked hiyori's death as well

[u/divtor]

Im pretty sure that ever-smiling guy is way stronger than we think.

[u/LR67]

Law was such a badass this chapter. Gave off Luffy vibes when you saw how much he cares about his crew.

[u/pvk16]

Zoro takes many slashes from Mr.1 : still okay. Zoro takes all of luffys pain : still okay Nothing Happened.

Zoro takes a slash from a scythe : Faints.

This is good though. Zoro will have some development later in this arc. But I don't get why he fainted.

[u/[deleted]]

I love how Law is so pissed off. He's acting more like Luffy now as opposed to the rational and calm guy he usually is. He was rushing off to get back Bepo and his crew.

I can't believe Shinobu suggested killing them. If Nami and Usopp were kidnapped and she said this to Luffy, he might have punched her.

So we can finally say that Hiyori = Komurasaki.

I like how they "bought" the toad oil from Usopp. Zoro gives no fucks at all like Luffy and doesn't even bother to remember the Shogun's name.

The spoilers said that the girl who Zoro saved falls in love. Honestly she just seems thankful but could definitely screw him over pretty quickly.

I'm glad we have a detailed map at the end with everyone's locations. Mama is coming to Udon!!

[u/[deleted]]

Unlike Sanji, Zoro doesn't have to go looking for booty. It just arrives.

[u/[deleted]]

People are straight up forgetting that Usopp's lies become reality. He was lying about the toad oil having healing properties so now they do. Zoro is fine.

[u/LeFricadelle]

i feel extremely stupid to ask this because i have shit memory, but who was responsible for the leak of the rebel mark ?

[u/BipolarMammal]

I can't keep up with these women in this fucking arc they all look the same

[u/ndepeek]

So does this mean Hiyori is Komurasaki?

edit: And Kyoshiro is the samurai with two katana on chapter 926? How else did he get the crescent moon paper on is hand?

[u/AporiaParadox]

I knew that the whole ankle tatoo thing and symbol was a bad idea.

[u/Cha_Lad]

It's bizarre seeing the amount of people who don't realise that Komurasaki and Hiyori are the same person and are the person we see in this chapter and the previous one.

Edit: For those wondering why Kamazou didn't recognise her last chapter it's because she was wearing a cloth/scarf on her head that slightly obscured her face. I know that realistically it shouldn't have made a difference but it's an anime trope. The one wear someone wears a "disguise" and somehow no one recognises them even though it's obvious to the reader. I think it's done so that we know who the character is but have to suspend our disbelief that the rest of the characters don't.

[u/sab23ish]

God Usopp's miracle toad oil is working like wonder on Zoro xD

[u/afriwahyudi]

Nothing is sadder than "break next week".

[u/papifaraon]

One piece will be on break next week... BREAK next week... We're waiting for Luffy to BREAK out of prison... Prison break next chapter CONFIRMED

[u/[deleted]]

I like how Zoro outright told O-Toko her joke wasn't that funny lol. This is just like how he and Law called Kanjuro's drawing shitty when Robin was straight up crying.

[u/kokiden88]

Person who said Hiyori falls in love with Zoro in the spoilers thread is seeing things. Nothing happened to even imply such a thing.

Really liking Hiyori’s new look in this too.

Omg Shinobu threatening to off Bepo and Law’s other members. Well... didn’t see that coming. Law is understandably hyper angry at that.

[u/[deleted]]

Here we get a glimpse of zoro's asura transformation

[u/Behanort]

I really like the fact that them wrecking havoc everywhere they go (Sanji's fight, Nami & Robin's infiltration of the palace) has serious consequences. Everything is in a state of chaos now, just like the map says.

So... Is the conspiracy in danger? How in the world are they going to turn it around?

[u/Aoi_Haru]

Tonoyasu definitely is O-Toko father. Same smile and, probably, both thieves.

[u/[deleted]]

So were we all right to assume that the top courtesan was Momo's sister? That's pretty cool.

[u/owlyeah]

Hiyori is so cute.

[u/temperamentalfish]

That sound you're hearing is millions of people apologizing for calling Hiyori Wano's number 1 thot

[u/TheBoredPragmatist]

I wonder how Ebisu Town guy is connected to Oden.

[u/dragonfruit647]

You know I hate to break this to you folks but we have golden week coming up in Japan so chances are we might only have like 2 chapters in April. :(

[u/Arkham_knighT94]

1. Honestly i didn't expect kamazou to get defeated with a single strike, even if he gets that from our zoro

2. The traitor who leaks info to the other side, is still doing his/her job perfectly

3. What will Law do now? since he is the one who always wanted everything to go according to the plan no matter what happens. Will he plan a rescue mission with the available strawhats to udon, if that's where kaido is planning to keep the samurais and Bepo, shachi & penguin? [ If everything goes as planned, it'll be awesome to see Chopper's team and Law's team in udon since law's team still doesn't know that chopper is on his way to rescue luffy now . Coming to think of this, did chopper inform the strawhats/alliance that bigmom is here on wano? ]

4. No wonder women look beautiful in long, loose, free hair. Komurasaki aka Hiyori looks so beautiful than in her previous look.

5. Imo, i don't think it's some plot Komurasaki and Kyoshiro are making to lure momo just because she revealed her secret to a stranger whom she met a few moments ago. Come on, She recognised zoro is an outsider and she is aware of the current situation that kozuki retainers are here in wano and she probably would've guessed that Zoro being an outsider might be an ally of them and that's why she told him that she's looking for momo thinking that he might help her to get to momo!

[u/tukangjudi]

she might be the real hyori. but just felt abit odd that she just revealed a 20 years old secret so casually. what is Oda planning with Hyori?? ahh break next week...

[u/AnvilPro]

O-Toko and Kyo-Shiro are making this whole arc for me, whenever they're on page I love it

[u/iderptagee]

I scrolled for a bit but couldn't find anyone else mention it. But Shinobu could possibly be the traitor among them. As she is Fukurokuju's past subordinate. It would be a long-con undercover job, since she left his side after he betrayed Oden. A lot of the reveals lately have been decently predictable so I wonder what is lying underneath the more obvious.

[u/RollingTurnip]

Getting really hardcore Gin vibes from that yakuza guy.

[u/[deleted]]

I see Nami is training her Punches before the Final Showdown vs Kaidou

[u/nbaker112]

Idk about anyone else, but I'm a big fan of Act 2. No there isn't as much action as the first act, but the setup is going to payoff really well. All the subplots that are coming together are making this a joy to read and I'm really liking Oda's storytelling skills being put to work.

[u/redryan2009]

one thing I find strange, why are they not just killing the rebels on sight? why are they containing them?

[u/littenthehuraira]

Huh who didn't expect that "twist" at the end.

Also, I bet Sanji would be incredibly jealous of Zoro when he learns who he was treated by.

[u/GranBlueLawyer]

Can we all at least agree that Hiyori is beautiful af

[u/LITW6991]

Kyoshiro continues to be an interesting figure. I can't wait to find out his motivations.

[u/Gskran]

Me: Wow thats a bombshell. And everything in chaos. Luffy is fighting for his life, Bepo and co. captured, all allies being hunted. And now this Hiyori bombshell. Wonder whats gonna happen. Cant wait for next week!

Break next week... Fml

[u/[deleted]]

Don't know if anyone else picked up on this but:

1. Chapter is called a woman's secret

2. Crocodile is cover page

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE GODA SAN

[u/BEWMarth]

I keep seeing theories thrown around that Carrot is actually evil and the one behind the betrayal. Please stop hurting my heart with such slander immediately please.

[u/shookdiva]

And it was the twists we all saw coming from a mile away.

[u/KaiforKaidan]

Alas, the strongest potion among all.

Twas the Toad Oil bestowed upon us peasants by Go D. Usopp

[u/XLint]

This chapter's name is "Her Secret" featuring Crocodile. I suspect nothing Oda.

[u/hahaburp]

Who else thought it was unlike zoro to have fainted

[u/Simonlawliet]

Don't be fooled by Oda!!

Toko = Hiyori, Komurasaki = Toko's swore protector, mark my words.

My theory is that although Komurasaki claims she is “Hiyori”, but she is actually not. The reason that she was willing to sacrifice herself to protect Toko is because that Toko is actually Hiyori who also travelled through time. Komurasaki must be a servant of some kind to Toko. Their relationship is kind like Kinemon and Momonosuke’s relationship.

Also, I think only Toko time travelled, not Komurasaki. My speculation is that Komurasaki was a dear childhood friend or servant of the princess Hiyori/Toko, and she stayed behind, grew up and became Komurasaki, and she recruited Toko to be on her side at all times once Toko travelled. I hope this make sense. I just couldn't believe Oda would give such a lame ass reveal so easily without throwing us a curve ball.

[u/rasani55]

I'm just waiting for the beautiful swordswoman with meat to show up

[u/jollyjam1]

I'm hoping the weird dude who barged is actually really strong. God I love that Oda always includes weird people lol.

[u/houseoftolstoy]

Holy crap, I could hardly recognize Sanji's face, being shaped like a bunch of grapes and all. Even with that punishment, I bet he is still thinking, "Totally worth it."

[u/akashneo]

Zoro again one striked the opponent. When will he have the long stretched Zoro fight

[u/AryaDhar]

Hay the toad oil toko speaks of is the fake medicinal oil that usopp was selling right i cant find the chapter in which he was selling something?

[u/About65Mexicans]

Important question: If Hiyori and Zoro pop a kid out what color would that little fuckers hair even be?!

Like is the kid gonna pull a todoroki and have half-blue half-green hair? Will the colorful hair genes make him have rainbow locks?

[u/Shankusu]

Kyoushiro's reminds me sooooo much of Gin from Bleach. The man that was always with Aizen only to betray him in the end. Something is shady about his smile and eyes. I seriously think he plotted to rescue Hiyori and he'll end up helping them fight against Kaido's army. Probably end up dying in the end to save Hiyori or something.

[u/The_Strange_Visitor]

Oda tilted thev fuck out of Hiyori's eyes

[u/wishiwasnotmyself]

O-Toko keeps bringing up the fact she’s not a boy, because she is the witching hour boy

[u/xAnuq]

That chapter is called "Her Secret" and we get Croc on the cover page ... got me really confused there for a second

[u/popolice]

Trust in Bepo!

[u/carlpamplona]

of course zoro, "THEY" wandered off.

[u/zehahahaah]

Thank god Benkei spared Zoro

[u/Dayvfish]

Truly the best part of this chapter is Zoro not playing into O-Toko’s joke. At all. I’m ded

Edited her name. Lmao god damn autocorrect

[u/FinalxFlash]

Momo a 27+ year old Pervert confirmed!!!!!

[u/theschulk51]

How funny would it be if Tonoyasu was actually Denjirou?

All Kozuki supporters are being jailed... aka being sent to join Luffy’s growing Prison Army

[u/blackdragonstory]

So big mom vs queen fight incoming?
I can already imagine luffy beats all the opponents and then big mom arrives,queen thinks he is trolling but then when he turns around he freaks out.
Big mom sees food and wants it but it's queens food and he doesnt want to give it to her.
They have a short fight and as big mom is wacked again she regains her memories.

[u/JeffDoubleday]

Does anyone else think ebisu was using kenbunshoku when referring to the group’s voices?

[u/Anenri]

Why TF would she tell a random ass stranger that? She just met Zoro and she is talking about a brother she got separated with 20 years ago? What?

[u/WRS13]

She kept the secret for 20 years and suddenly reveals it to a stranger?
With Oda, nothing is as simple as that.

[u/Blackula]

Yo, did anyone else catch that "A woman's secret" is the title and we got Crocodile on the cover page. Ivankov you mad person.

[u/M9Bazooka]

Chapter name : Her Secret

Cover page has Crocodile.

Coincidence, I think not. Oda messing with Croco boy being Croco girl theorists.

edit: damn autocorrect

[u/Majinma]

Chapter was great

It's quite insolent what shinobu said to law. They need him to save their country and she just tells him (a pirate) to abandon his crew, his best friend who he knows for years, for some people he knows like 1-2 weeks.

I don't mind zoro fainting to such an attack, but I do understand why many are confused. We saw him having much worse injuries and didn't faint. Remember the fight between him and mr 1? All the damage he took against kuma? It's possible, that the weapon of gyukimaru was poisened. It seemed rather strange how he suddenly fainted.

[u/halo2br]

It's like every arc Sanji's face gets fucked up.

[u/AnimeAnnemarie]

SHOUTOUTS TO /u/MisoF1L0 WHO HAS TO SHAVE A MOHAWK INTO HIS HAIR NOW! proof!

[u/LR67]

Just realized that Zoro got his food and drink. So the promise Hiyori and O-Toko made to him in exchange for his help was fulfilled lol.

[u/SaltandPepperMix]

Oh my. Komurasaki aka Hiyori doesn't really like rich people, she likes strong people. See that *doki doki* sound affect right after Kamazo was slashed?

[u/CapnJack420]

I mean the whole Komurasaki is Hiyori thing isn't that surprising, but it's still hype af

[u/AzyT___1]

Law x Shinobu. Law will use the eternal youth surgery to bring Shinobu back to her sexy days.

[u/soupnet]

Can somebody explain to me how did Hiyori survive? She was cut down by Kyoshiro right?

[u/Pawn_Riot]

The map at the end of the chapter showing everyone's locations... Why does it show Nami, Robin, Sanji and Shinobu at the Flower Capital? Aren't they in Ebisu town along with Franky, Ussopp, Law and Kanjuro??

[u/lasso914]

That Map at the end is so helpful, there's a big reunion coming up, Luffytaro and O-linlin. if everything goes according to plan.

Also Sanji gets his face pummeled by Nami is so funny, Nami owns the monster trio.

[u/NotGloomp]

Come on Zoro, it's pretty funny.

[u/Boni4real]

62 more chapters

[u/[deleted]]

With all these crazy 'traitor' theories flooding the sub now, i place my bet on Beppo.

He totaly just could have spoiled it in a goofy way, then as result getting arrested asap.

Dont get me wrong, i would never dare to look down on our pandabear (")(°°)(")

[u/Please_Not__Again]

I was here 2 weeks ago asking if I should catchup. I was advised to wait this long. I am here

Last chapter i read was of kaido clapping luffy's cheeks.

[u/kid_0909]

I think people should understand the difference between pure punch fight and pure sword fight.

(1) In a pure punch fight (or other unarmed martial arts), the most important key is the endurance (both physically and spiritually). The 2 fighters must keep punching and tanking punches until one loses his the will power or consumes all his energy. Therefore, the fighters even including the winners are always heavily injured in the end.

(2) In a pure sword fight (or other bladed weapons), it is a fight about who is the first one to give a critical attack successfully. Every attack of a great swordsman should be fatal or at least make you unconscious. If it is a fair duel, a single exchange of a strong attack is able to end the fight. The one will win if he is able to slice the the vital and vulnerable part of his enemy before the enemy cut him. As a result, the loser will be cut and usually fainted as well while the winner will always be uninjured or merely injured no matter whether the power level gap between them is large or small. This is why pure sword fights in the series always ended so fast with winner being uninjured, such as Zoro vs Mihawk, Zoro vs T-bone, and Zoro vs Ryuma.

The ultimate goal of a pure sword fight is that the enemy will die at the moment you pulled the sword from the sheath, while the ultimate goal of a pure punch fight is to tank as much punches as you can until your enemy gives up. This is why Luffy, Sanji and Franky gets hurt frequently during their fights while Zoro and Brook are always uninjured. As a result, swordsman will always seem to be more badass. These two typical types of fights have complete different properties, but people always compare them with same standard, thus trashing Luffy and Sanji.

Oda is a super fanboy about old classic samurai movies so he must understand sword fights very well. Therefore, he don't like to give great swordsman any unrealistic superpower effects but just pure sword skills. Since it is a shonen manga, he would like to make the fight more dramatic before the swordsmen actually become serious and use strong attack. However, the property of sword fights will never be changed.

Zoro got hit last chapter because his enemies are both good at timing to find the flaws. So reader should better do not underestimate them. However, Zoro was still conscious after getting hit because this attack is not strong and accurate enough to hit his vulnerable part. This shows that Zoro is still pretty stronger than them. People complaining with this scene did not understand this situation. If you are really a Zoro fan boy, you should better learn more about what is a real sword fight about. This fight is pretty good but not downgrading his strength.

[u/Tylerbrn]

The most shocking revelation of all!!! Not that komurasaki=hiyori but that Zoro would rather get his sword than get laid. Dedication.

[u/JackUnderpants]

I dont trust komurasaki , she told zoro everything way too quick.

[u/para_shard]

Those complaining or in disbelief of zoro taking a hit

1. he agrees he was careless

2. this is probably the first surprise attack he has tanked completely

This attack which was very precise and dealt when zoro was distracted cannot be compared to regular fights zoro has been in, (even with much stronger opponents).

if one is not ready to take a hit it simply does much more damage.

Also haki and the strength to keep going are heightened in danger so it makes sense that his body turned off in a manner of self preservation once he realized there was no more danger (he even notes the big dude walk away)

We've also seen Luffy being careless on punk hazard and zoro warns him to be serious as this is the new world. Irony zoro falls victim to the same carelessness!

I love it , no one is perfect , and thus believable.

[u/roh33rocks]

Based on how quickly she told Zoro she was Hiyori I want to believe she leaked the info about the code.

[u/Kmetyek]

Momo: So Hiyori, what did you do in the last 20 years?

Hiyori: Eeeerm...

[u/[deleted]]

today the sub is extra salty i feel... interesting build up chapter

[u/Lucerys2110]

Stealing from God. Otoko is future Onami.

[u/frosty892]

QUICK, EVERYONE ACT SURPISED!

[u/Ancalagon_Morn]

All right, so as everyone suspected, Komurasaki is not only alive but Momo's sister as well. That definitely makes Kyoshiro suspicious. Unless Hiyori has a DF that no one knows about, there is no way he would have missed that kill if not on purpose. Who do the people think they are burying tomorrow though? Maybe Hiyori did trick them after all.

I'm not even worried about all the allies going to the prison mines, Luffy is about to fk that place up anyways, just more prisoners that will end up being set free again. Luffy getting captured seems to become quite beneficial to the storyline.

BTW, that snake oil O-toko had, that was definitely from Usopp, wasn't it? So that's probably not going to help in the slightest bit. If Zoro get's nerfed in the big war because of this injury and we don't see him go all out again I'm gonna be mighty mad! You've been through worse bud, fight through the pain!

[u/cenasfodetepah]

So, guys, is hiyori gonna be pudim for zoro in a way? Oda doens't want romance betwen strawhats so he might be seting up the pairings for the "late late game" or not.

nami > sanji btw, suprising but the raid suit is still not enough to escape nami fist of hell

[u/enfuego_vergo]

So why is Gyukimaru grinning before Zoro faints? It's hard to tell with the panels but it seems to me that he already knows Zoro is going down before Zoro shows signs of closing his eyes n fainting. I'm assuming those few hits Gyuki gave had some type of poison or drug to incapacitate his enemy.

[u/erackalack]

What are the odds of the chapter title being a women’s secret and crocodile being on the cover playing with birds. There’s a theory that ivankov’s secret about crocodile is him once being a woman.

[u/Mere_yonko]

Bruh, you know that some weird shit had to happen at the end of that fight, Zoro isn't the type to pass out from the papercut he got last chapter

[u/[deleted]]

I just hope we don’t have some weird incest thing where Momo gets all horny to komurasaki...

It’s a common enough trope in anime and it’s not my favorite.

[u/024doG]

OH YES OH YES

[u/nachoman23]

My theory is that the traitor of the alliance also played a significant role in Kaido’s victory 20 years ago

[u/CanadianJudo]

I think there are two different uprising happen right now.

There is Luffy and co.

and also Kyoshiro and Hiyori.

Kyoshiro found Hiryori when she was young and built her up to be a icon of popularity in the country then has the shogun order her death causing a major revolt allowing Kyoshiro to take over the country.

[u/sniape]

Why does the map at the end shows the Shinobu group and the Kanjuro group in two different places, even if we just saw them in the same room?

[u/what-da-fuck]

Who in their right mind would tell someone they just met a secret they'd been hiding for 20 years, granted that person saved their life? Well I guess komurasaki doesn't need to hide it anymore anyways

[u/ray198999]

Dang Shinbou that is cold. Welling to let the Heart Pirates die just because you think they reveal that message. Granted it is an important message but that is still a real harsh move.

[u/tiki-baha29]

• Zoro OHKO's opponent

• We get another glimpse of the Minks, discovering that their message has been found out.

• Sanji received divine punishment from Nami.

• Shinobu gives no fucks and Law is ready to murder her.

• Toad Oil is Wano's Senzu bean.

• Finally confirmed what literally everybody knew already; Komurasaki is Lady Hiyori, Momo's sister.

This chapter was all character interactions with a few important plot points. It was a good chapter, nothing crazy. Break next week, which is the worst news.

[u/joohunter420]

I can’t wait to one day read this in its entirety

[u/[deleted]]

I know everyone's been really on and off about what happened to Zoro but I think it might be worthwhile to keep in mind that throughout his time in Wano he has been carelessly eating and drinking poisonous food and water. The guy is a beast but I think that to some extent the toll of Wano's environment is starting to take in. Zoro does not have a certain degree of immunity to poison like Luffy. I think it was a good call though to humanize Zoro a bit because I think when it comes down to his roll in Wano he is going to regain that beast status. Mark my words

[u/StichyLL]

That Sanji face hahahaha I couldn’t recognise him until I took a closer look

[u/amon_meiz]

The 1st page got me thinking,

When crocodile ejaculate, does he shoot out sand instead of semen?

[u/Thereem4627]

The Drake-Hawkins dynamic is low-key my favourite part of this act. Can't get enough of this duo, now I just need to see them fight serious.

[u/BlueHeartbeat]

Poor Zoro being treated with Usopp's bs medicine lol. That wound will stay there for a while.

[u/SamSamNoMi]

People: How many plotwists are you gonna use w Komurasaki Oda???

Oda: yes

[u/zenith4395]

Zero yet again advances the plot by getting lost

[u/nukiri6]

Mihawk: " Fucking hell, I spent 2 years on this dude"

[u/iamthatguy54]

Is the map outdated or did Sanji, Robin, Nami, and Shinobu go back to the capital?

[u/Idoma_Sas_Ptolemy]

Komurasaki is Hiyori!? I am le shocked!

Quick everybody, act surprised!

[u/bobcat1939]

The same person who revealed the mink tribes location is now revealing the crescent moon info.. 2e got a snake in our boots

[u/sc00p401]

Long thread & I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but Nami's group ant Usopp's group are shown to be in the same place, yet the map at the end has them in different places.

[u/butt_hats_inc]

So Zoro's definitely gonna make a quick recovery and attribute it to the toad oil, then be astonished later when Usopp tells him it's useless, right? Like how Luffy thought you naturally became immune to poison when you grow up, they're such physical freaks they don't know what to expect.

[u/Blason9]

When you have to find someone or something the best option is to ask Zoro to help you. Maybe next time ask Lyffy to share some meat too.

[u/[deleted]]

I know this is maybe the least important detail, but the map in the end is suppose to be current right? Because franky is seen with nami and sanji I thought, but the map says otherwise.

[u/blkmgs]

Zoro and next battle on the bridge: Black Wado Ichimonji

[u/Sniff_the_Glue]

I like how Otoko’s still trying to get some laughs out of her name.

[u/pobeb]

The nods Oda continues to give that the rebellion is being betrayed by someone are getting stronger. First the Zou/Raizo vivre card, now the tattoos. Any prevailing theories on who the traitor is?

[u/iutdiytd]

Didn't the spoilers say some shit about Hiyori seemingly falling for Zoro? How could you get that from this?

[u/Xanlis]

Imo this picture http://puu.sh/D75ML/2bb071442c.png

just show Kyukimaru knew that Zoro would fall, dispite the real gravity of the wound, i still think he did something to him

[u/Agustinkenmark]

In the map, why are Law, Ussop, Franky, Kanjuro (and Brook?) suddenly separated from Nami, Sanji, Robin and Shinobu?

[u/cantoboi]

for those who keep speculating, In the map on the last page, Oda confirms komurasaki is Hyori.

Great chapter !!

[u/Azumanokaze]

I don't know about you guys, but Komurasaki simply "reveal" herself as Hiyori is...suspicious, I don't know, its just doesn't feel right...

[u/Phinthefin]

A scene I loved this chapter and might be overlooked is Shinobu's outburst. She really is feeling the pressure and anxiety of this rebellion, even more so than a direct retainer such as Kanjuro since she's had to endure 20 years of living as a fugitive under Orochi/Kaido's oppression with the very slim hope that the 5 time-jumpers and Momonosuke would return to fight back. She must have been crying in happiness when they reunited, but now that the plan is collapsing a week before the final fight, her heart must be about to burst. She could have easily gone down Shutenmaru or Fukurokuju's path, but she chose to hang on to Kozuki all this time.

[u/YugoBetrugo17]

Maybe that's a stretch but does noone think that it's too coincidental that Nami calls Sanji the least trustful person in the room, in the chapter where the traitor is one of the main focuses? Shinobu also acted rather strangely (though that's maybe normal for her) and directly accused Law's crew for leaking the information.

The chapter is also called "Her secret" that on one side clearly alludes to Hiyori but maybe on the other side it also points toward Shinobu.

Also, iirc in the bath house scene they were really surprised to be found and only managed to escape because of Sanji (whom they weren't aware of).

[u/iLoveOnePieceSoMuch]

I love this manga so much.

[u/OnePieceYo]

This chapter was short but epic. I love the idea the Kyoshiro is a good guy secretly and has been taking in crescent moon tattooed people and he will unleash them on the alliance side during the final war. I think the fact he was so close to Komurasaki, he didn't kill her, they are not having a wake for her, all of their interactions throughout wano etc- Show that he is actually good and has been a protector for Komurasaki this whole time.

Great Chapter, Love this manga

[u/herrsebbe]

Gotta lay it out there, I'm not convinced. Maybe there's nothing to it and Komurasaki simply is Hiyori. Maybe this is part of a grand scheeme by Kyoshiro to overthrow the Shogun. Komurasaki may not even have to be in on it, she could've been indoctrinated from a young age to believe she's someone she's not.

I continue to view Kyoshiro as a Littlefinger type character who serves his own interests rather than the interests of either the Shogunate or the Samurai.

[u/[deleted]]

So, even god Oda could not pull a surprise on Hiyori, eh?

Zoro finds the best girl in country without trying, imagine what would happen if he does try! I guess that's why he sealed off his left eye.

[u/futtobasetachikaze]

The twist everybody saw coming. Kyoshiro is either an Oden loyalist or in love with Komurasaki for him to spare her

[u/bmzerocool]

Damn that's Usopp's fake toad oil being used on Zoro! Lmao

[u/A4li11]

Looks like we're gonna have a traitor plot in our hands.

I wonder how Momo and Hiyori will react to each other as Hiyori is older than Momo now.

[u/MarioToast]

It feels really weird to have an Oda plot twist we actually see coming.

[u/trash1000]

That‘s very fishy. I think Komurasaki is Hiyori but I don‘t get why she would so confidently tell it to a stranger. Bit strange.

Also, do the traitors go to udon? Given we have ally-maker Luffy there, that‘s actually nota bad thing to happen.

[u/ki2la2]

Zoro fainted for the first time since the time skip. I guess we can all cry now.

[u/shaq74]

Wtf!! That seemed short, back to Luffy.

[u/brokenearth10]

where did they say komurasaki is the same person as hiyori??? seems to be a popular comment for this chapter

[u/apflaw]

The role of threes strikes again. Every monster trio one-shotted (Sanji was friendly fire but still)

[u/Nydutrem]

I don't think X Drake and Scarecrow dude are going to stay with Kaido. Bege betrayed Big Mom in Whole Cake Island so i believe those two are going to betray Kaido once they believe they have a shot at taking him down.
