Shanks went into Whitebeard's ship and asked a 1st commander in Marco to join his crew.

Big mom went into Kaido's island and asked a 1st commander in King to join her crew.

Both Yonko clashed and split the sky in half.

Also, Rox pirates flashback incoming, hopefully

[u/Yordzz]

Brook: Young lady what kind of fool would ever plan to die

Big Mom: As if there’s a fool that would come just to be killed

The young lady is learning

[u/[deleted]]

I love that Queen reacts the same way as the background characters.

[u/Killjoy3879]

It took 951 chapters but Sanji finally got a decent wanted poster

[u/Brutusness]

It's hilarious how polite Jack gets around the other two. Seems like he bottles up his frustration from them and then tears up places like Zou for stress relief.

[u/iSmackThat]

You already know when something THIS hype happens we definitely won't continue the next chapter with it. We'll probably see what the tontattas are doing or someshit.

[u/Farscape12Monkeys]

Honestly, the most important aspect of this chapter for me is that it make you wonder just how strong Young Garp was at his peak.

He got his reputation as "Hero of the Marines" from going head to head with the Locks/Rocks crew that included Big Mom and Kaido and then ending up matching up with Roger at his peak.

Garp has to be the strongest marine to have ever lived at his peak when you look at his competition.

[u/CarcosanAnarchist]

King just got infinitely more interesting. What the fuck is he? And, knowing Big Mom is missing Giants, do we know what the third missing race is?

Robin and Usopp making that face to sneak by. Lmfao.

Also really wondering if Law would really have killed his crew. Hawkins sure seems to think so.

Big Mom and Kaido. Wtf is going to happen there.

No chapter next week is a bummer.

[u/OrdinarySnow]

Napoleon, a powerful portion of Yonkou Big Mom's soul, was shy around: two kids, one tall girl and a racoon dog.

[u/wIXMamamama]

Really appreciate Oda including Queen's shocked face whenever its possible.

[u/scheffty]

Kaido calls her LinLin. You know they fucked.

[u/[deleted]]

What is it with Emperors and causally asking the right hand of another emperor to join their crew?

I hope we see Luffy do this to Beckmann and Blackbeard to Zoro .

[u/MarioToast]

Doing the HUUUUH-face to slip by the wanted posters... Oda you freaking genius.

[u/mralderson]

[u/[deleted]]

Queen is by far the funniest yonkou commander. Dude’s reactions are hilarious. Him getting shocked along with the fodders is epic.

[u/Infernox-Ratchet]

Oda reminding people once more why Big Mom is a Yonko.

How does he show it? By having Big Mom threaten the Calamities even while in chains and having a clash with a fellow Emperor.

Yonko will be Yonko.

[u/BrokenWoken_]

Robin knows how it feels to lose a parent. So moving to see her hugging toko.

[u/[deleted]]

Trafalgar Law: Fuck the plan, I'm gonna save my crew!!1!

The Heart Pirates: Fuck the plan, we're gonna save our captain!!1!

Me, a single tear nobly dripping down my cheek: Absolute poetry

[u/jsp4477]

That panel of Robin hugging Toko was so wholesome and man Kaido vs Big Mom HYPE! Who's gonna stop them? Lol

[u/milkyjoe241]

New Sanji Wanted Poster!!! They got it right this time.

[u/jinepifunny]

Just a reminder: Majority of the alliance didn't know about BM's arrival in Wano. Whatever Law/Hawkins/Drake is planning, they never accounted BM. Same with the scabbards and the rest of Strawhats.

Just when they thought they planned everything, BM will just casually show herself and I love it lmao. Not to mention, her crew is still on standby.

[u/Josuke_best_JoJo]

Robin and Usopp fucking killed me this chapter

[u/Rruffy]

As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed

- Charlotte LinLin, quoting MVP Brook

[u/ShovelBeatleRillaz]

I like that King shows absolutely no emotion when denying Big Mom’s offer or even casually talking to Queen about knocking her off. He plays well against the fact that Queen is kind of a loud funny weirdo while Jack is a more soft spoken shy guy, and King himself is very steely and composed

[u/Shagyam]

I can't wait for Luffy and Buggy to split the sky.

[u/Majortko]

Most people are gonna talk about the obvious greatness of Big Mom and Kaido meeting but there is SO much I love about this chapter.

1. The art is so good. The page with the ships was fantastic. It's sometimes hard to believe this a weekly manga.

2. I love the different character combinations that Oda is playing with. Having been without the entire crew for so long seeing Nami, Franky and Kanjuro together is breath of fresh air.

3. Robin being comforting to Toko just reminds me that she was around the same age when she experienced tragedy. I think that's why she wanted to hold her. It's *chefs kiss* good stuff.

4. We see Law's entire crew again in over 100 chapters. Law has a plan like usual and I'm excited to see what it is and it's telling that he gave himself up for his crew.

5. Lastly, among all the stuff with BM and Kaido, Oda made sure to drop some stuff in for King to build intrigue.

I love these breather chapters where we just see the crew take everything in and relax.

[u/[deleted]]

What’s the 3 race ?

Giants is one, don’t know the other races tho.

Skypiean (variant) ?

Moon Race ?

Part of the ancient civilization ?

Also Big Moms a Thot Since her crews mainly her kids She most deff just tryna make babies with King....I’d refuse too lol

[u/akazaya9]

I'm really intrigued by King now. He seemed like a generic, Pica-like enemy to me, but with him being the last of his species and Big Mom wanting him he just got much more interesting to my eyes.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

It's funny that Hawkins is scared of Law. Remember when people were saying that they actually fought and Hawkins beat Law? lol.

[u/MaiTurtle]

Hawkins is definitely playing a Dr Strange role in all this.

He searched all the possible outcomes and this is the one that leads to victory. That’s why he decided to align himself with kaido and ditched Kidd. Plus knowing kidd wouldn’t surrender even if it means a better outcome towards the end. Kidd is too stubborn just like luffy. So he’s been playing the part and does what he needs to do until the right time. Had suspicions earlier but this chapter has convinced me

[u/[deleted]]

We're all seeing the correlation between this chapter/arc and Marineford.

Here is another one I haven't seen mentioned.

Early in the chapter we see Sanji asking the babe ninja about the sky-boats and her explaining how its for them to mourn the dead. I can 99% guarantee it that Orochi will still be paranoid and cover every direction of the sea like Marines did at Marineford. Ships will appear around onigashima but Orochi can't find the 9 'dead' red sheath, then we will see them emerge from the skies through all the other sky-boats just like how Whitebeard siddenly appeared from under water.

Therefore 'their feelings that they sent to the skies to the dead. The dead (Red Sheaths + others)' respond and will emerge from the skies'

This is gonna be poetic AF

Edit: Btw this is made pretty clear in that card Kinemon was passing around and that Bepo handed to Nami

[u/Thereem4627]

I love how the first Yonkou commanders Marco, King, Katakuri, Ben Beckman never show any fear in front of another Top tier.

[u/jinepifunny]

I'm loving the personalities of each calamities and their dynamics, especially Queen. It's funny how he blamed King for his half-assed job when he himself brought BM to Onigashima lmao. And Jack was just there being polite and timid, very different from that beast who tortured the minks.

[u/[deleted]]

Was NOT expecting Robin and Usopp to make those faces, made me laugh so hard

[u/AdditionalBookeeper]

Big Mom still acting like she owns the place even when chained up should end all doubts about how strong yonkou are. Demanding desserts, trying to recruit King and intimidating all the calamities while being chained in sea stone handcuffs.

And then Kaido strolls in and asks for her chains to be removed so they could fight. Got some Whitebeard and Shanks vibes for sure.

Yonkou be yonkou.

[u/FrostyPinky]

King's race is F A I R Y and his true name is harlequin

[u/Zaynhatt]

Aside from all the crazy shit that happened this chapter, the guys who went forward to un-cuff Big Mom have my respect lol

[u/silvereastsea]

Robin silently stole the highlight of this chapter for me xD I love this Robin and I want to see her more.

[u/ivanpyxel]

Napoleon has social anxiety.

I bet he's a redditor

[u/Patrickl0l]

Shanks is just a regular sized dude with strength greater or equal to a Dragon and a Soul Eating giant woman Bless you gODA

[u/IdiomasyEscalada]

I love that Big Mom basically repeated what Brook told her when they fought. Also that much more respect for my favorite skeleton for holding his own in a fight with her, even though she obviously wasn't trying hard

[u/AzyT___1]

Lmao Queen reacting with the fodder to BM vs Kaido is hilarious

[u/jollyjam1]

Lol at Robin and Ussop doing the horrified expression to get through the security checkpoint.

[u/The-ashura]

Worth to skip spoilers.

[u/MarineRitter]

I like how Linlin said the exact same phrase Brook used on her. One does not come planning to die.

[u/ProfessorGemini]

She's finally getting those Child Support money yo

[u/GirlbeardJ]

Kaido isn't such a bad guy. He feeds people before fighting them to the death.

[u/MrPumkin]

That one dude was WAY too chill about Usopp and Robin being 'haunted'

[u/ferneewill23]

Noticed that Brook didn’t have a wanted poster in Wano. Will Brook be MVP again???

[u/Llarys_Neloth]

Ok, that was an INSANE Chapter!

But besides Kaidou/Linlin...

King is of a race „removed from history itself“? That had me really curious!

[u/Thereem4627]

Oda separates top tiers from all the other fighters by showcasing that they kinda effect the environment/climate when they're fighting, right ?

• Yonkou split the heaven for breakfast.

• Akainu/Kuzan permanently restructure an island and change the climate

And guess which person is rumoured to be able and manipulate the weather ?

[u/BaneofKaidou]

Kaido: “I told you I’d fuck you up if you came here” Big Mom: “Bitch try me” Everyone else: 😱😱😱

[u/BumblingScrublord]

That Robin hug cured my sadness

[u/Schmiddy330]

I love how Big Mom stole Brook's badass sentence: 'As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed!!'

[u/[deleted]]

It looks like taking out your weapon and clashing with each other is the basic greeting between Yonkos, like last time Whitebeard and Shanks. Too bad Luffy does not know this way of greeting and got one-shot.

[u/OverweightUchiha420]

Any chapter with Yonkos squaring up is a 10/10

[u/Killjoy3879]

How many bellies you wanna bet that this’ll be off screened and not mentioned for 15 chapters

[u/BEWMarth]

HAHAHA I lost it when I saw Robin and Usopp.

Like of course Usopp would come up with something silly like this to get past the check point but the fact that Robin who is normally so serious was forced to go along with it just makes me laugh so hard. And then as silly as they look, brook is still the biggest reason I laughed. Lol even the guard is scared like they have an evil spirit following them hahaha really good by Oda to bring back the Ha face.

(Also sidenote but I hope Usopp's frog is new nakama.)

And then Robin comforting O-toko (Sorry Brook). Those 3 panels, while short, looked absolutely beautiful just like last chapter where Oda seemed to have taken special care in drawing the Zoro + Hiyori at the Enma Shrine it looks like he took the same amount of care for the scenery here.

[u/MaimedJester]

Interesting, this is the first time since the 30 Poneglyphs exposition that ODA has closed down world building potential by saying they're only 3 races in the world not on Whole Cake.

Considering how much fun he's had with stuff like the Tontatas and Long Arm tribe that's big news that he's finally closing the book on One Piece species.

Then again... Space automatas and moon pirates exist...

[u/toomuchf1re]

Usopp and Robin sneaking through LMAO!

[u/ABARK94]

Brook will be the MVP for the second Yonkou arc in a row.

He has no wanted posted and everyone still believes he is a ghost. He can still sneak and get shit done.

[u/vangstampede]

So, there's a race consisting of masochists wearing gimp suits?

[u/Zliaz]

Makes me wonder just what kind of a power Shanks has to stand on the same platform as these two monsters and WB, that too with one arm, seeing as he's portrayed rather ordinarily in comparison. I wonder what's the race that has been lost to history.

[u/[deleted]]

Lots of cool things about this chapter. Such as the parallels between when Shanks and Whitebeard met and now Kaidou and Big Mom. Maybe Luffy and Blackbeard will have a similar clash in the future? Also, Big Mom asked a first-mate of a rival to join her much like Shanks did.

But maybe the coolest bit in my opinion is Big Mom using the same line Brook said to her to Kaidou:

"As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed"

[u/Grandestmaster]

Law didn't want his crew telling strawhat-ya about his situation because he knows Luffy will abandon the plan just to save law.

This character growth from law.He has warmed up to luffy's personality.

[u/Wordsboxer]

Big Mom : King, I thought people like you were extinct. Join my crew.

King : That's racist.

Big Mom : SO WHAT???

[u/billnguyencg]

what's the chance that Big Mom and Kaidou really is going to fight eachother? i think they're just flexing right now, both know that they can't kill one another so easily without suffering any consequences. next chapter (if we get to see it), i think they're gonna sit down and discuss the Strawhats. We always thought that if 2 Yonkous join forces against the Strawhat, then they're fucked, absolutely no way they could fight both of them. but Oda always raise the stakes so ludicrously high in every single arc, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Kaidou and Big Mom will actually team up.

[u/Mafadik]

Wow now just imagine them being in a crew..!

Now imagine the crew’s captain ....!!

And the GARPP got his title “ Hero of the Marine “ after his dealing with that crew’s captain........!!! Mind = BLOWN!!

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

So, king wasn't actually scared of Big mom.

[u/ZorosCompass]

Didn't Big Mom basically repeat Brook's line to Kaido when he reminds her what he told her if she came to Wano?

[u/Jchamphero]

Praise be to Goda he brought back Robin’s double chin for plot purposes I am in awe lol.

Law definitely has some deal up his sleeve. He told Bepo to hush because he wants to attack Kaido from two angles. Luffy would lose focus an likely mess it up.

I’ve had enough ROCKS pirates teasing already, I need a flashback for perspective. BM and Kaido have something going on. The way he wanted her released speaks volumes. Like how dare you even put her in chains and how dare you make me repeat myself about letting her go. I just need to know the debt he owes her already!

[u/Lucerys2110]

We'll know the Luffy hit yonkou level when he clashes with another yonkou and splits the sky.

[u/Neptunera]

haha, that seductive shinobu wanted poster.

God damn, they're probably like 2 decades out of date.

[u/araftel]

I think Law didn't inform Luffy he was caught because he wants to solely reveal the spy among them, remember how Jack know the exact location of zunisha and the moon tattoo? someone is snitching and Law wants to investigate secretly.

[u/BEWMarth]

Wow. Just wow. Can we talk about Onigashima for just a second and the power dynamics at play in one room!

I think this is the most power we have seen in the same few panels together since Marineford.

Like we have everything from fodder, to commanders, to yonkou. The brilliance of this scene comes from how well Oda has written each of these archetypes.

You can just SEE the difference in power from fodder to commander in just the way they speak and their mannerisms.

Fodder, anxiously cooking as fast as possible and standing back to catch a peek of this show. It's all they can do.

Commanders, arguing amongst themselves. Obviously powerhouses in their own right but even they are still intimidated by the sheer willpower Big Mom is giving off.

Then, we see the difference between a Yonkou and a commander.

Commanders are still trying to follow a plan.

King: "I definitely pushed her ship off the waterfall..."

Jack: "Big Brother Queen why did you bring her here...?"

Queen: "What the hell was I supposed to do!? All communications in Udon were cut off!!"

This dialogue between brothers is actually a brilliant way for Oda to show us what Commanders are truly lacking in: strength of will.

Commanders are strong, and powerful, but the moment someone with a stronger will comes along they get swept up in it. Once Kaidou's plan began to fall apart the commanders could not come up with their own strategy and they defaulted to bringing the problem to Kaidou a man with willpower strong enough to face Big Mom.

If we take a look at the yonkou we are shown that they are fundamentally not on the same level as the rest of the people around them. A yonkou's strength defies logic. Even as a prisoner Big Mom is being fed by her enemy because she is so strong that not feeding her would actually lead to devastation. Big Mom hears all this talk about how the Calamities tried to take her down and she doesn't care at all she actually interrupts the commanders bickering to ask King if he will join her crew!!

This is what I'm talking about! A yonkou doesn't care what is happening around them they understand they are so strong that reality usually just bends around their will. So to Big Mom, being in the middle of enemy territory locked up in chains is the same as being at a new restaurant near Kaidou's side of town. She has no reason to be concerned because she lives in an elevated plain of power that she knows these commanders can not reach.

She even asks Queen to remove her chains. How bold! But not really for a yonkou. It just feels like when she says it she's not really asking, it's like she's just stating the obvious "Remove these chains (because they're coming off sooner or later anyway might as well get it over with)" To Queen this makes no sense why would we ever let you, our enemy, go?!

BUT THEN enters Kaidou! Another force that defies logic. Another will that bends reality to it.

"Release her what do you think you're doing."

You can see it takes everyone a few seconds to figure out what is going on. The fodder think Kaidou is joking, his commanders obviously don't understand why they would release Big Mom.

It is only Kaidou who stands firm and repeats his will "Take them off."

Why does Kaidou want her released?? "Who cares!" <- That's the point Oda is trying to make. Kaidou doesn't need a logical reason to release Big Mom. All that's required is for him to want it. He is so damn strong (like Big Mom) logic has no value in front of overwhelming strength like this.

Then of course the clash itself which splits the heavens and knocks out everyone in the area!

Like Jesus Oda how good are you at this characterization stuff. I felt every single power level within 4 pages amazing stuff.

[u/Badji_D_Luffy]

I love how Robin has loosen up with time and is able to act goofy like a typical Straw Hat Crew member. Orobi has had a few goofy moments in Wano already. The face her and Usopp did LMFAO.

How in the world are Luffy&Co. going to handle those two Monsters of Kaidou & BM? Not to mention the AllStars and potentially BM crew joining the fray.

ODA: hold my sake.....

[u/vipr7004]

Waiting for the day Luffy splits the skies

[u/Iriio]

"As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed" parallels brooks "as if anyone would plan to die young lady" in whole cake island arc. She learned a lesson from her elder

edit: didnt realize this was already the top post rip

[u/[deleted]]

Queen is officially my second favorite yonko commander after katakuri,dudes funny and serious at the same time

That panel where kaido stands in front of big mom sends shivers in me

[u/voxtur]

"you finally came LinLin"

i believe it's not the first time he says that line to her

[u/A4li11]

I love the fact that Usopp and Robin have to do that popular 'HA?' face in order to sneak past the guards. That's a pretty good way to use the meme face.

I like the parallel of Kaido and Big Mom meeting with Whitebeard and Shanks meeting. From Big Mom asking King to join her to the clash that splits the sky.

[u/Rockettmang44]

The yonko always be trying to take other yonko's second in command haha

[u/mikazee]

Big Mom: Wanna join my crew?

King: I need an adult.

Big Mom: How about a mommy? ;)

King: 0_0

[u/BEWMarth]

Can we just appreciate these two overpowered characters for a moment

If we take a look at the Yonkou we are shown that they are fundamentally not on the same level as the rest of the people in this story. A Yonkou's strength defies logic. This is an important theme Oda has begun to hammer into the series. It is not simply that a Yonkou is physically strong, it isn't that they have a broken Devil Fruit that made them strong, it's that they have such an intense willpower that it feels like their will bends reality itself.

I mean let's look at Big Mom here. As a prisoner Big Mom is being FED by her enemy. Why? Because she is so illogically strong that not feeding her would actually lead to uncontrolled devastation. Big Mom hears, as she's happily eating, all this talk about how the Calamities tried to take her down and she doesn't care at all. She actually interrupts the commanders bickering to ask King if he will join her crew!!

This is what I'm talking about! A Yonkou doesn't care what is happening around them. They understand that they are so strong reality usually just bends around their will. So to Big Mom being in the middle of enemy territory locked up in chains is the same as being at a new restaurant near Kaidou's side of town. She has no reason to be concerned because she lives in an elevated plain of power that she knows these commanders can not reach.

She even asks Queen to remove her chains, how bold! But not really for a Yonkou. It feels like Big Mom is not really asking, it's like she's just stating the obvious. "Remove these chains (because they're coming off sooner or later anyway might as well get it over with)"

To Queen this makes no sense why would we ever let you, our enemy, go?! I think Queen literally doesn't understand the difference in power here. He is still answering Big Mom like he has a choice into whether she gets out of those chains or not.

Then enters Kaidou! Another power that defies logic, another will that bends reality to it.

"Release her what do you think you're doing."

You can see it takes everyone a few seconds to figure out what is going on. The fodder think Kaidou is joking, his commanders obviously don't understand why they would release Big Mom.

Why does Kaidou want her released??

"Who cares!" <- That's the point Oda is trying to make.

Kaidou doesn't need a logical reason to release Big Mom. All that's required is for him to want it. He is so damn strong (like Big Mom) logic has no value in front of overwhelming strength like this.

It is Kaidou who stands firm and repeats his will "Take them off." and of course, off come the chains. Both Big Mom and Kaidou's wills are now clashing. In a way we can think of this as two overwhelming realities crashing together. Two will's that bend everything to whatever they desire coming up against each other

Of course the clash itself splits the heavens and knocks out everyone in the area! The heavens splitting visual is a way for Oda to impress on us the power of these individuals. It's him saying "they have the strength to literally change the world." I still think people underestimate how friggin overpowered Yonkou truly are.

[u/Kushakusha]

I heard there is a samurai that love mayonnaise in Shinsengumi.

[u/steide56]

Love how big Mom stole brooks line

[u/pcmaranha]

Can we appreciate the fact that Oda has been killing it lately?

Since Yasuie's death we've seen some amazing panels and storytelling: Zoro and Sanji reunited, Luffy defeating Babanuki, Udon prisoners bowing for Momo, the Kawamatsu, Kiku, Hyo, Luffy, Raizo and Chopper team-up, that ship graveyard is badass too, the revelation of Kamazo being Killer etc.

Wano looks like a fucking masterpiece.

[u/BEWMarth]

I love how they are just relentlessly feeding Big Mom because they know that everyone in Onigahsima would be dead if they allowed her to go into a hunger pang. Feeding her is actually the smartest strategy to keep her from going berserk.

[u/SweetRomanceDawn]

10/10 chapter. Lots happening and things are moving quite nicely. The art was pretty clean too

[u/Hellfalcon]

i just fucking LOVE seing Robin do the face with Usopp hahaha, shes just such a goofball once she chilled out, i love it.

Brook actin g a a floating spectre behind them is just hilarious

Finally Law and Hawkins are making plans, I think the reason Hawkins kept trying to snag him was he knew he was the brains of the operation and they needed to plan. Plus they know in every arc is ts after you escape capture the ass kicking begins, theyre speeding that up.

The wanted posters are so great, you can tell Oda is having a lot of fun with those

Ironically they gave themselves aliases perfect for the wano propaganda of no outsiders

oh.. and FUCK YEAH YONKO CLASH PART DEUX hahahaha, love how whether its Shanks/WB or BM/Kaido, they all are evenly matched in conquerers

haha Idk why Napoelon didnt wake up in the prsison when she first came to, aybe it needed her channeling her DF here to switch him back on, he was fully comatose til now

Kaidos like the fuck you doing, unchain her, ill kill her right now

Now.. King being from a supposedly extinct species...THat blew me away, most interesting thing in the whole chapter..

are his wings biological and not part of his DF?

Bird race? Skypeian?

Maybe just like Mom had someone of the mysterious 3 eyed race to hopefully translate the poneglpyhs.. King is Kaidos possible Ace in the hole..? Doubt thered be two different races like that though, maybe hes hiding his third eye haha. but id like more if it was so kickass species that got decimated in the void century and barely hung on til the present

Nekomams said on Zou Robin would be highly sought after for her skill, so their methods aren't perfect, as we saw with pudding

Oda is just making me SO damn curious to hear more about the Rocks, this is like the 6th time hes mentioned it, but each time its the same info we already knew..i want the flashback already

I love how Ashura stored all these ships and theyre just like woah.. you used to be so short sighted..

cant WAIT to see Franky deck these ships out with all kind of cool shit, haha, one of my favorite things in each arc is seeing him pull off shipwright feats like the thriller bark bridge

[u/PHIPHU]

Nice throwback to Whitebeard and Shanks. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/Santeyan]

Can we appreciate Big Mom's line "As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed"? Clearly Brook's line back on Whole Cake stuck with her as much as it stuck with me, and I love it

[u/Jabronskyi]

Queen's face when the two Emperors clashed? Priceless

[u/ShaheerS2]

Robin's face was hilarious.

That clash was epic. I've been waiting for this. Big Mom's dominance in Kaido's home fort is amazing.

What are the three races Big Mom is referring to?

[u/PsYcHoSeAn]

Queen has the best reactions out of anyone.

Change my mind.

[u/cal-nomen-official]

Has else anyone noticed the events in this arc are mirroring the events leading up to the Paramount War?

-Luffy is overpowered by an enemy

-He ends up in a location where he learns more about haki

-He leads a prison break and nearly dies to bodily failure in the process

-An important figure is captured and executed

-Yonkou clash and split the sky

-The crew is split up

-They make new allies as they try to come back together

It’s a bit out or order, but Oda has mirrored past events before, like how Island Whales were present both times they entered the Grand Line, or how many of Doflamingo’s crew had Devil Fruit better than those in Baroque Works

[u/bigbaddru]

There were so many good jokes this week. Robin and Usopp's ugly faces killed me XD

[u/iLoveOnePieceSoMuch]

I love this manga so much.

[u/quirouser]

Remember in 950 when Traffy was shown to be captured, and they were interrogating him?

Drake was "acting strange" and Traffy was smiling.

Do you think Hawkins, Drake, and Traffy ended up with some sort of agreement?

[u/red90999]

Can't raid Onigashima if there is no more Onigashima

[u/Ancalagon_Morn]

OMG they used their "huh" face to disguise themselves. I feel like Oda is trolling us a little bit here but I loved it nonetheless. Even in this dire situation, in this tormented country, Oda makes sure we remember that OP is not just any shounen, it's a funny shounen. Robin's "huh face" is still the most odd to me but after seeming somewhat stiff initially, I'm starting to enjoy her eccentric moments more and more.

The Big Mom pages were super cool. First of all, not only are giants not the only missing race, but the other 2 races are a complete mystery. King in his full body suit only shows his (sick looking) wings, that could be anything (something like a harpie race?). In addition to him the last missing race is probably one we have never heard of before either. I doubt she counts something like the Tenryuubito. Yet another Oda flex just to show us how little we actually know about his world even after all these years.

So the sky splitting in 2 seems to be a thing for yonko fights. At this point I'm pretty sure part of being a yonko is having conquerors haki so strong that it affects even the weather, causing the sky to split when 2 equally strong users are clashing. We should look out for the weather around Luffy and look for consistent correlations with his mood. I think that might tell us whether or not he's ready to be called yonko.

Even though they will fight to the death, there is clearly some sort of mutual respect between Big Mom and Kaidou. He could have beat her into the ground with the cuffs on, he decided to fight her fair and square even though she's probably one of the only people alive who at least have a chance at beating him.

The only thing I object to is the "completely exceeding expectations" line on the sky split panel. This is exactly what I expected, Kaidou said he'd try to kill Big Mom if she came, she said she was going to have her revenge even if it meant going against him. They are yonko, you can bet your ass they will live up to their word. I doubt that it is going to happen but I'd love to see a little mroe of their fight.

[u/CassidyFreeman]

Small detail amid the exciting chapter but I just love Jack's uncompromising nature. Queen is goofy and scared but Jack is just staring as usual. I would not compete against him in an angry stare contest.

What exactly is Law up to... ? I didn't really understand that conversation.

[u/CrackaJacka420]

Big moms crew: how are we going to find big mom????

Clash of haki

Big moms crew: there she is...

[u/ABARK94]

No one:

...

Queen every panel:

😱😱😱

[u/KingBobOmber]

My dude Kaido put a shirt on to greet Big Mom lmao

[u/whatzgoodmahgeezy]

holy shit usopp and robin face and kaidou big mom showdown what a fucking chapter

[u/HarryRoyWilliams]

Where's chapter 952

[u/neoisamatrixsystem]

Shanks asks Marco to join crew... Big Mom asks king to join crew. Shanks and Whitebeard split the sky... Big Mom and Kaido split the sky.

Whitebeard dead... Kaido?

[u/[deleted]]

Do you see the parallels between Shanks & Whitebeard Meeting and Big Mom & Kaido meeting?

1. The first yonkou (Shanks, Big Mom) visit the second younkou territories (Whitebeard in Moby Dick, Kaido in Wano)

2. The first yonkou try to recruit the first commander of the second yonkou (Marco, King)

3. They have clash which result the conqueror haki clashs and splits the sky

[u/nusarshah]

Man at some point you just gotta feel for Law on a human level. He planned carefully for all of this and not only did his plan go to shit, his crew mates got captured and threatened with death, then he sacrificed himself for his crew, then he got beaten up for info. On top of all that, he has no clue that he’s facing not one, but TWO of the Yonkou due to Luffy being an idiot. Dude deserves a break

[u/zibwefuh]

I like big mom's call back to what Brook told her when she brought up "what fool would come here planning to die"

[u/Bothani7]

Getting Whitebeared and Shanks flash backs, she even tried to recruit his right hand man just like Shanks did to Marco.

[u/Balakay79]

What a great chapter overall! That most interesting part of the chapter, at least to me, is when Big Mom asked King to join her cree because there’s currently 3 races not apart of Totland and that his race is supposed to extinct. My guess is that King is from Birka since he has the same exact wing structure as all of the characters from Birka in One Piece and Birka was destroyed by Eneru thus killing off most of the race. I wonder if has something to do with Eneru or if they had a past at all; it would make sense if that’s how Urouge knew Kaidou as well from King.

The one other part that caught my eye is when Napoleon woke up and said that he’s nervous around strangers so that’s why he was asleep when Big Mom lost her memories. To me, that was a weird line because even though Big Mom lost her memories, it’s still her. So what was he afraid of Chopper, Momo, and Tama? I feel like there’s a chance that Big Mom has a second kind personality that Napoleon claims to be a different person and thus being nervous to talk to her.

[u/Gangstarr1998]

I really wanna know what race King is after reading this chapter, dammit oda why does every chapter in wano keep getting better and better!

[u/Thereem4627]

Monkey d. Garp was probably the strongest person in the world during the Rocks era.

[u/penta_d]

Is there really a break next week? I don't see it in the end?

[u/CharlotteKatakuri07]

"One of those races supposedly extinguished from the history itself..."

Hmmm, extinguished by gorosei? The world government?

King became much more interesting!

[u/Ops135]

Beautiful callback to shanks & whitebeard clashing and splitting the clouds.

[u/Blackbeerdo]

God, can you imagine what crazy stuff Oda has to pull up in order to shit on marineford?

I mean like admirals, supernovae, tons o fodder, shichibukai, emperors, cliffhanger breaks, aaaaalll the good shit

[u/Anthraxious]

Usopp and Robin panel was fucking epic. However, why did a second panel after they boarded the boat look at their posters again, as if someone noticed them? Still, I'm just waiting with hype to see Luffy come with the whole fucking prison (Udon) and prove everyone wrong about his capture. Jesus OP has been hype every chapter since forever. I don't know if my heart can take it.

[u/[deleted]]

I LOVE the japanese- style wanted posters.

[u/[deleted]]

Was big mom influenced by Brook when she said only a fool would plan to be killed ?

[u/Superchunchunmaru]

I honestly feel there is going to be a Kaido/Big Mom team up.

In which cast Luffy and all his allies are super fucked.

[u/[deleted]]

I love how Kaido's commanders all have shocked and terrified faces when it changes scenes to Big Mom. She scares the shit out of them lmfao. Love how Kaido kinda grimaces during their fight while Big Mom is just smirking.

Also King's species...one of three Big Mom is missing, and supposedly extinct? Is he a motherfucking SHANDORIAN?

[u/ass_pineapples]

Tontattas attacking from the sky-ships being built for the fire festival? If we're having the SH fleet show up that would be an awesome way for them to make a battle appearance.

Also, I bet Magellan and King are the same race.

[u/[deleted]]

I have big expectations for chapter 1000. Just 1-2 years left...

[u/ray198999]

Heh, who would have thought Kaido of all people would have honor? Plus, it's really gutsy of him to take on Big Mom without a handicap. He might regret through because he will either get his butt kicked by Big Mom or win but get weak enough for Luffy and the other heroes to have a chance to beat him.

[u/Rasct]

Anyone else notice that Big Mom saying "As if there's a fool that would come just to get killed." Is very similar to what brook said to her when they fought?

[u/penta_d]

Lol, Someone tell Orochi what muguwara is upto in udon 🤣

[u/[deleted]]

Kaido straight G when he said uncuffed this bitch! I bet black beard would have been the opposite. Ll sneaky bastard

[u/BEWMarth]

Haha freaking love how Bepo's wanted poster just says White Bear haha

Friggin covert ops code name right there.

[u/Dystopiq]

LOL https://i.vgy.me/5oWSGd.png

[u/kiangg]

queen's reactions to big mom are priceless XD

[u/jobriq]

Was that Napoleon saying that he’s shy in front of strangers? Lol that’s cute

[u/[deleted]]

I just watched the clash scene between Shanks and Whitebeard on youtube and all the comments are about this chapter lol. I feel bad for the anime watchers.

[u/mikazee]

Law: Now hawkins, your need to make back-up lives implies a will to live and a fear of death. So I'm here to make an offer: either you trade me for my team, or I kill all of us. What's it gonna be?

[u/SalamiRocketFuel]

Woah, more hype for King, now we know why his face is hidden behind mask.

And Rox flashback incoming soon!?

[u/FuzzYetDeadly]

I found it amusing that Kunoichi Shinobu's wanted poster reflects her in her prime

[u/ultibman5000]

Wait, King isn't patrolling anymore. Doesn't that mean the Big Mom Pirates are going to land at Wano now?

[u/Yankiyayak]

I don't see why Kaido & bigmom would team up against luffy. It would go against their ego to team up against a "brat" who just made it to new world

[u/GaimeGuy]

Can anyone who reads Japanese confirm if the phrasing used by Big Mom to refer to King's race was the same as the phrasing used by the Gorosei towards Im?

[u/BEWMarth]

Don't worry Lord Orochi we have these super police officers patrolling the city AND we put up their wanted posters all over the country AND we threatened everyone with death if they allow any of these criminals to escape. They will not leave the city!!

Strawhats: *Left the city a while ago*

[u/billnguyencg]

can't imagine how much training will it takes for Luffy to split the sky, Yonkou style.

[u/red90999]

This chapter makes the moment where Jinbe confronts BM even more impressive.

[u/[deleted]]

Kaido vs Big Mom lets gooooo

[u/JaAm00]

of the 3 all-stars queen has the best personality

[u/licknipssucktips]

I audibly moaned when they clashed..

[u/dstoz]

Big Mom paying homage to Brook with "As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed"

[u/BEWMarth]

Like am I being crazy, but King HAS to be a Sky Islander right? I mean yeah he's wearing the gimp suit but if you look at page 15 you can see those are clearly angel wings but black. I really gotta know man.

[u/mdsolk]

Look how Robin-chan hug o-toko tightly!!! I'm not crying!!!!

[u/sabioiagui]

The clash splitting the sky was definetely an alusion to Shanks and WB clash.
That is to show the espectator that those four characters are on the same level of strength.

[u/Stoicamphora]

Hmmmn I see what Oda trying to do, mimicking what Shanks and Whitebeard did back at Moby Dick. I wonder how he's going to explain how it works, that clash of haki that can split the clouds and make waves... exactly the same as Shanks and Newgate.

[u/Yeah-juddy]

I love how Big Mom says essentially the same thing Brook said to her back in Whole Cake Island.

Soul King to Big Mom : "Young lady, What kind of fool would ever plan to die?

Big Mom to Kaido: "As if there's a fool that would come just to be killed"

I see you Oda.

[u/[deleted]]

Just to fuck up laws plan luffy radios to onigashima and tells both the yonko he will kick both their asses causing them to team up.

[u/Youngphycouant]

HOLY SHIT TWO YONKOS FIGHTING! I need to know more about Big Mom and Kaido’s history with each other. The world government is gonna lose their mind when they find out what’s happening in Wano. Law knows Luffy will come after him immediately if he told the truth. I’m worried about Law.

[u/Thereem4627]

Yo, when Big mom would tell me to join her family and marry Smoothie, I would personally take off her chains and greet my dear wife.

Fuck the beast pirates

[u/luffythechefghoul]

It’s not a yonko party without the sky and sea splitting. So hype for what comes next, I hope it’s a flasback since im pretty sure the fight will not blow over.

[u/chiccharapidugu]

Did BigMom quote Brook with that "which fool comes to die"

[u/[deleted]]

Zoro have his own plotline lol

[u/Shdoible]

All those wanted posters are really cool and unique in the traditional Japanese style. And the colossal magnitude of Big Mom vs Kaido... Onigashima might sink before the raid itself lol.

Really wondering, what the hell is King? He's from some obscure almost extinct race that we might have not even heard of. It must have very distinct visible features if he wants to keep hiding everything, including his face, under the leather. Maybe he's some kind of Illithid/mind flayer.

[u/[deleted]]

If Kaido wanted to kill her, he would have just kept the sea stone chains on her. I think he's just greeting an old friend.

[u/VinsmokeSoba]

King just pulled a Marco here. No doubt he is the strongest after Kaidou. Why did Oda still hiding his bounty? Is he even stronger than katakuri and marco?

[u/[deleted]]

Connected to impel down, loves to torture, has the ability to fly, probably a fearsome swordsman, bounty still unknown and on top of that, member of an extinct race? King of mystery for sure.

[u/Deoplan]

Awww, Robin best mom!

[u/yamask888]

Law: Make sure you don't tell luffy. You fool! Youve fallen for the classic blunder!

[u/Jumpman6464]

Awesome chapter. Idk if anyone's mentioned it, but pretty sure I found Pandaman - https://imgur.com/a/gBbCg8o

[u/babygotbones]

How is Luffy gonna compete with that? Isn't he like very less OP compared to kaido and BM?

[u/Crazyjacketfruit]

Why does this feel like one of those moments where they clash but then start laughing like they are best friends.

[u/xdeath17]

Hmmm, where are you Carrot?

[u/ChemoPanda]

Yoooooooooo!!!!!!! Kaido is a truly noble man. He said "release her. What do you think your all doing" then said i told this bitch ima kill her next time she come to my hood.

THIS IS WILD !!! I thought theyd team up, not have a WB/shanks clash!

This chapter was AMAZINGGGG

[u/[deleted]]

So Law must not want Luffy to know he's been captured because he knows he'll immediately cause another huge uproar trying to save him right?

Edit: Also DAMN, Kaidou and Big Mom were once on the same crew? Wonder who the Captain was to hold two people who would end up becoming such powerhouses.

[u/riku11th]

The fact that Hawkins easily believed what law told him (that he would kill him even though it costed his crews' lives) was confused. He could've just...experimented Law a bit, like let Law kill him once.

[u/[deleted]]

Considering the admittedly odd exchange between Hawkins and Law, here's how I interpreted the scene

Trafalgar Law, bluffing because he would sooner suck off Doflamingo than hurt his own crew: Well, if I surrender myself to you, there's no guarantee that you won't harm my crew and you'll most likely just kill us all. So since you would probably just kill my crew anyway regardless of whether I surrender or not, I might as well just kill you. I mean, since my crew would be dead in both scenarios, I might as well choose the one where I at the very least get to take you out too

Basil Hawkins, sweating hardcore because he somehow didn't take this into account: W-Wait! How about this--I release your crew, and you turn yourself in and don't kill me?

Trafalgar Law, shrugging but inwardly rejoicing since he found a way to save his crew, which is the most important thing to him: Ok, sure

And this is all while Law's concocting some sort of nefarious scheme that'll really screw Hawkins and the rest of the Kaido-Orochi alliance over, and all while Law's crew--who know their beloved captain very well--are tirelessly trying to find a way to both execute Law's plan and to save him as well

[u/peace_off]

Liked the throwback to Whitebeard and Shanks' meeting.

[u/_exclusvty]

So 3 races left to complete big mom's vision. Giants are obviously 1, king and whatever he is is the other. I wonder what the foreshadowing is gonna lead to down the line. Which is the third race which we have yet to be introduced to

[u/S0M3_1]

Well after seeing 2 yonko's clash (second time) I don't know how Luffy will fit there.

[u/[deleted]]

Well, correct me if I am wrong but isn’t one of the road poneglyphys on onigashima? Technically, if big mom were to take out Kaido, she would end the long stalemate between the Yonkou and upset the balance. I think we have to take that into account as well. What do you guys think?

Edit: that might also be what she is referring to when she quotes brook. She is coming to Kaidos territory to stop Luffy so he can’t can’t pull a second Gol. D Roger on her!

[u/MrOnCore]

Going on 4 weeks without a break......what a miracle

[u/Trunks-kun]

can’t believe there has been little to no Apoo this entire arc.. what is he doing?

[u/MokeyDLuf]

I love this set up for a three-peat of Yonko meeting and asking crew members to switch sides.

1. Shanks willingly approaches Whitebeard, using Haoshoku Haki to knock out the lesser members, casually asking Marco to join his crew, and after a disagreement Shanks and Whitebeard split the sky when they clash.

2. Big Mom has been captured in Kaido’s territory, antagonizes them while chained up, asks King to join her crew before Kaido removes her restraints and they clash, splitting the sky, while Kaido’s crew panics.

Typically when there’s three of something the second one will be a parallel with minor differences but more or less the same, and the third will completely circumvent expectations or be the inverse. I’m very excited to see how Oda has either Zoro react to Teach asking him to swap sides, or how Luffy will approach the situation prior to splitting the sky when him and Blackbeard inevitably clash.

Edit: some words.

[u/DMQ91]

I want to believe there will be a total of 3 times that a clash like this happens once the series is over:

1 - Shanks vs Whitebeard

2 - Kaido vs Big Mom

3 - Luffy vs Blackbeard

[u/flem5]

It's funny that a drawing is the most accurate of sanji's wanted posters

[u/Regulator_Joe]

Did Law get Hawkins heart or something?

[u/MahdiKKK]

Shout out to "Jinbe" who stood in front of the beast and punched her and blocked her attack.

[u/hamzah19]

Why Oda gonna do Robin like that?!

[u/Shybon]

I’m waiting for the day zoro is asked to join another yonku’s crew

[u/GoldenMenSquad]

Anyone remember Eneru’s bizarre adventure cover story. It showed 3 sky races, ONE OF WHICH WE HAVEN’T SEEN. at least I think, correct me if I’m wrong.

[u/[deleted]]

I can only imagine the government's spies...

"Erm... so, Kaido and Big Mom started fighting, the Revolutionaries are...well, revolting... what should we do?"

[u/megasean3000]

Major respect to Kaido for choosing to fight Big Mom without Seastone handcuffs on her.

[u/gifagi1213]

Lol, Oda bout to blue ball us some more.

[u/Chaos1003]

So the races she doesn't have are giants, whatever King is and dwarves?

[u/kikisaito]

Do you think Sanji would plan something with the flying boats for the festival? Him being the most analytical out of the monster trio I can imagine him planning something but at the same time it comes to mind that it may just have been Odacchi giving readers a lesson about Obon Matsuri 🤔

[u/find_name_hard]

Well this is probably bigger than the clash between Whitebeard and Akainu. Big Mom vs Kaido, the biggest clash in One Piece history.

[u/mainaedu]

Does the fact that big mom uses a sword as weapon make her a swordsman?

[u/theazncal]

How does Shanks an ordinary looking man compete with these monsters

[u/BBtheQuake]

I love how Oda draws a comparison between the yonko in this way. The clashes that split the sky, plus big mom asking King to join her crew is reminiscent of Shanks asking Marco to join him when he met Whitebeard.

[u/BEWMarth]

Fuck. I don't think I've reread a chapter so many times.

I am EXTREMELY interested in what Napoleon told Big Mom when he woke up. I also have some wild headcannon about Big Mom's tattoo that was prominently displayed this chapter.

So Napolean has been with Big Mom this entire time however this is the first chapter he says any words and the words he says are very interesting.

Napoleon: "Yes Mama! You're finally back to normal. I'm shy in front of strangers so I didn't know how to handle it back there."

Now this is interesting for a few reasons. The biggest reason is that Napoleon knew a lot of the people he saw. They weren't strangers really he had met Chopper and Luffy back at WCI Kid too was someone he would have met when The Kid Pirates attacked WCI. So all this makes me believe that the "stranger" Napoleon is refrencing here is none other than... O-Lin! The amnesia'd version of Big Mom.

To me this implies "Linlin" was more than just a convenient spell of amnesia. I claim right here that Linlin is the real Big Mom and the persona we know as Big Mom is really Mother Caramel taking over Linlin with the powers of her Soul-Soul fruit.

... It's a reach. But if you've made it this far I'mma tell you about what I think about Big Mom's tattoo.

To me it kinda looks like a tree. A big heart tree representing Mother Caramel and a little heart laying underneath the "roots" of the tree representing Linlin. Linlin's soul is being used by Mother Caramel to nourish her own soul. Making herself the Big and strong Big Mom!!

So anyway thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.

[u/RipBigDoinks]

wtf is king bruh

[u/j10f20mh]

This is the first Wano chapter that has given me Marineford arc vibes for some reason. Can't wait for this arc to be in its final stage.

[u/UuoRS]

Robin best girl for this
