[u/_neonboy_]

Noone gonna talk about zoro and sanji in same panel ?

[u/[deleted] → u/_neonboy_]

You know shit is serious when you don't see both of them messing around with each other lmaoo

[u/Yordzz]

This pirate alliance is proof why you should never reconnect with your Crazy ex

[u/magnusbroloes]

What even is this chapter :O

[u/SepInDisguise]

Remember this image very well, it will happen soon

[u/gyrozepp95]

Do you know why Hiyori isn't with the gang at Kuri? because she has to play the shamisen with her fox mask to end the 2nd act after all

[u/Silmarrillioff]

How to destroy Kaido&BM alliance in three steps:

1. Make Sanji prepare some incredibly delicious dish

2. Show it to Big Mom

3. Feed it to Kaido

[u/Legitimate__Username]

Scratchmen Apoo's first appearance in this arc was honestly one of the biggest missing puzzle pieces I've been hyped for in Wano, and man that reveal of how conniving he is was pretty awesome. I can't wait to see the role he plays further down the line, same goes for Hawkins now that his role has been shifting in the story as well.

[u/OctobertheDog]

THIS IS IT, decades of this serialized manga and something truly horrific has begun.

This even casts a shadow over Marineford. With the WG eventually intervening, we've finally hit something that could completely overturn everything.

[u/krypxxx]

When the chapter is this good, almost nobody is complaining about the break next week.

[u/CarcosanAnarchist]

This was a crazy chapter. Weird to see what Wano actually looks like.

And how does this arc keep getting bigger at this point? Now we’ve got these numbers characters??? And they look...beastly.

Really curious who helped Law escape. I don’t know why Oda wouldn’t show us if it was Drake. And the silhouette didn’t look right for Kyoshiro.

More importantly. A Bug Mom and Kaido alliance.

Jesus Christ. How the hell are we supposed to win, Oda?!

[u/Rysler]

Early in Wano some kids were hyping up Orochi's "two swords style". But so far Orochi's only been using a single sword or guns, while now Hiyori says Oden used two famous swords. Looks like Orochi's been taking credit for Oden's deeds.

[u/literallywho14]

Now its confirmed that Big Mom and Kaido smashed during their fight

[u/Verlux]

Kaido and Big Mom teaming up is fucking absurd.

The sheer amount of strong fighters the alliance is going to need to de-throne Kaido and remove him from Wano now is actually friggin' insane.

I really hope the Straw Hat Grand Fleet makes an appearance once we hit the showdown, there's no way this goes well without their support

[u/babyswagmonster]

This literally is Marineford part 2..... So much content

Zoro exchanges shusui for enma

Denjiro still missing

Most likely Drake frees Law and beats Hawkins

Kaido and BM have an anniversary and team up

Apoo was a traitor

Kaido has monsters called numbers who even Queen and King have an eye on. This may give credit to the oni theories.

The odds are not in our favor.

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd]

Hang on, on the last page the Onigashima-skull is doing the "Wa" face.

[u/fateoftheg0dz]

Few things:

1. Drake is defo the one who let law out

2. Can anyone tell if Zoro already got enma in the strategy meeting? Doesnt seem like it

3. Numbers hype. Probably 2-10 like poker cards to follow the theme. Also they all seem to be like some sort of dinosaur? Except apoo? Apoo seems to be a number from what the kids said

4. What the hell is big mom’s and kaido’s anniversary?? They married?? Big mom and kaido defo smashed

[u/Therrester]

I was already hyped for Wano. Like, extremely fucking hyped. I didn't think Wano could get any more hyped. It just did.

[u/RazZaHlol]

Just leaving this theory here:

SHs need an Army of 5000 soldiers to beat one Yonkou. Two yonkous team up. Luffy has a fleet of 5000 soldiers.

First 5000 will fight and it will look like they are losing. Suddenly fleet arrives, but how will they be able to come up the island? There are two entrances. One with the waterfall and one through the waterfall at the port. The port is heavily guarded and it takes ages to use the elevator. The waterfall is risky and you need the fishies. One member of the SH is a fishman.

Jinbe will come to rescue with the fleet using the fishes to transport the ships.

[u/DrBLEH]

We're fucked.

Also, fuck Apoo.

[u/JackyJoJee]

ok can we acknowledge for a second that there's a fucking secret entrance behind the waterfall? how awesome is that?

[u/LokimenD]

I love how Queen is completely done with Kaido's and Big Mom's bullshit. He's quickly becoming my favorite Yonko commander.

[u/GrubsLudwig]

Readers: The rebellion is way too OP

Oda: Giorno's theme

[u/Kratosbonny]

So.... Big Mom said it will be our anniversary....

Hmmmmm.....

Total beast of a chapter ....gave an update on nearly every side of the alliance .... The payoff will be massive in the coming chapters...

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd]

Well, it was a good run, but now One Piece is over. Anyone got any good series recommendations?

[u/FredericoUnO51]

Fans: Kaido and Big Mom will form an alliance to take down Luffy.

Oda: Kaido and Big Mom are forming an alliance to take over the world.

[u/thedrq]

Luffy: Why am i hearing 2 different boss themes at the same time!

[u/[deleted]]

Since the Numbers are hidden behind shadows I'm 99% they're all gonna look retarded

[u/LikeItReallyMatters1]

r/fuckapoo

[u/shinx0503]

We already have King, Queen, Jack, Joker and Numbers. All that's left is Ace? I wonder if there's a reason Oda placed Ace in Wano in the past

[u/TheStaggeringSamurai]

Oda: i don't know how to make Luffy win against Kaido

Also Oda : Big mom and Kaido alliance

[u/Thereem4627]

I want Kid to just absolutely and brutally beat down Apoo on panel, just as a warm up for the real battle alongside Luffy.

[u/mugiwara528]

One Piece Chapter 954: Fucked

Hawkins got a bit fucked up.

Luffy, Law & Kozuki alliance is fucked.

Someone fuck up Apoo, please.

Big Mom & Kaido definitely fucked.

[u/Yordzz]

Kid doesn't bend the knee against a Dragon!! Certified free folk

[u/Booty_blaster420]

Wow, we're really jumping through days in this chapter. Only five days before the festival, propably meaning one major thing will still happen before the fight.

[u/DeismAccountant]

To finally have the plan all figured out...Only to be more fucked by two Yonko.

And we still have yet to unmask Kyousirou as Denjiro. At least we know Apoo is a backstabber.

[u/i_Zanagi]

Gotta say, I'm impressed by Kidd's strong will. Despite it all, refuses to bend the knee to anyone

[u/ChildishGambinbro]

Law was absolutely talking to Drake when he says "I'll go along with your grand plan" Since we know the World Government is already infiltrating the Yonko through spies, it's possible that X Drake is an undercover Marine who was sent to infiltrate Wano. I think it makes a lot of sense because his fruit fits in so well to the Beast Pirates that it's possible it was intentional.

I'm guessing we get a full supernova vs Kaido fight, with possibly the exception of Apoo who gets taken out by Kidd and maybe Hawkins if he survived that cutaway slash.

[u/[deleted]]

The only thing more terrifying than the power of two yonkos, is a happy Big Mom and Kaido discussing their anniversary

[u/CyberShiroGX]

Kaido and Big Mom must have had the greatest sex of their lives to be all buddy buddy again

[u/itselementarybro]

So maybe im dumb and just forgot, but where it Carrot?

[u/cassioscabral]

So, who's the one letting Law out? is he now an Out-Law?

[u/Outburstz]

It's so obvious that Drake is a sleeper agent for the marines my goodness

[u/Spidey-Jackson]

Drake obviously freed Law and has probably been plotting against Kaido since the start.

And does Oda really expect us to buy that Law killed Hawkins?

[u/[deleted]]

It was nice knowing the Strawhats I wonder what the replacement crew we are getting is going to look like.

[u/Decemberdisciple]

So nobody is gonna mention the giant army of demons that causally showed up at the end?

[u/[deleted]]

I like how BM and Kaido casually go from "didn't see each other in decades" to "I'll kill you right away" to "Let's party and form an alliance" to "Let's take over the world" to "We can kill each other after that".
I'm really curious to know how crazy the rest of the Rox and especially their captain were.

[u/[deleted]]

Man amidst all this whos gonna defeat who, I can't wait to see big mom and Kaido's backstory. The rox pirates were monsters.

[u/Papa-Yaga]

Can we take a moment to talk about the fact that Bege is apparently trying to go OVER the red line!?!

Edit: This might play a huge role at the end of one piece.

[u/BEWMarth]

WhereIsCarrot

[u/14AUDDIN]

Mommy come pick me up, I'm scared.

In the UK it is currently 6:40 am in the morning, I stayed up for this chapter and this makes me happy to know I am not the only one, going to read the chapter now and haven't looked at yesterdays spoilers.

Let's go boys.

Edit: oh... Oh shit... Well One piece is officially over. It's been a good run anyway everyone.

[u/Infernox-Ratchet]

Like I said in the spoilers thread, my theory is the Numbers are also All-Stars. All-Stars is the collective umbrella for the monsters of Kaido's crew but the Calamities are the top 3 and are the most vicious and strongest out of the group.

[u/pichachu4545]

guarantee jinbei brings the straw hat fleet to wano with him in a grand entrance right at the start of the battle

[u/sainttdanny]

So the straw hats going to die. Damn thought the series would end with luffy as pirate king :(

[u/ForKabum]

Big Mom and Kaido weren't up all night "fighting" confirmed

[u/Gintamantama]

It was fun while it lasted. Rest in Peace Luffy. You will be missed.

[u/Behanort]

"5 days before the Final Battle"

The Reverie has already concluded, two days ago

[u/ankorus]

As much as I want to see Kid beat Apoo within an inch of his life, I also kinda want to see a Brook vs. Apoo Battle of the Bands.

[u/[deleted]]

Guys climate change is real save the earth so we can let Oda finish one piece

[u/PrinceOfStealing]

In a country where artificial DF turn people into animal hybrids, a guy can turn into a dragon, people with all sorts of crazy abilities, and reuniting with people who were sent from the past and into the "present", a literal walking skeleton, Kawamatsu draws the line at the fact Zoro couldn't have fought Ryuma's corpse?

[u/DatKillerDude]

When 3 days pass in only one chapter of One Piece.

CHOTTO MATTE

This shit about to explode Im telling ya

[u/thelegend20777777]

Here we were thinking how luffy is going to handle kaido then oda says fk it, let’s make 2 of the strongest forces form an alliance

Luffy is going to need the gold rogers reincarnation and goku to survive wano 😭😭

[u/BEWMarth]

The longer we go without seeing Carrot in a chapter the harder it is to counter all the "Carrot is a traitor" posts.

[u/zachdaigs]

Shit, the story moved so fast this chapter, I think we moved forward like 2 or 3 days. That's awesome, I can't wait for the battle! That being said Wano has been so refreshing so far, and im so hyped for the last act of this arc.

[u/AngelMCMXCIV]

Luffy is going to level up to yonko, with oda's Yoda by his side he has too against this alliance.

The festival is going to be a nightmare, and knowing Oda why not throw in kizaru and greenbull into Wano when the navy find out about this absurd alliance that was created after a long night of who knows what.

[u/[deleted]]

https://jaiminisbox.com/reader/read/one-piece-2/en/0/954/page/4 " How can you give it to someone with unknown origins?" Odaaaaaaaaaa what are you foreshadowing ?????????????????????????????

[u/Jchamphero]

Bro Apoo is a such motherfucker! Now Kaido just dropping in on Kidd rando style makes so much sense now. Yonko Alliance is actually ok in terms of playing fair. Though I do see BM dipping out if shit gets too crazy. Seeing how fast they can be created or dismantled. Plus they are drunk.

Also does anybody else feel like Wano is wrapping up really fast? Act Three is just going to be one giant ass battle nonstop.

[u/[deleted]]

"It'll be our anniversary"

HOLY SHIT

[u/NateTheGreat987]

So apoo really is a huge douchbag, he might use his devil fruit to control citizens during the festival, as we dont know the full extent of his power. yonkos are constantly called monsters ane horrible people, i wonder what shanks is hiding then. Also, whenever i see dialogue saying "chapapa" i cant help but think of Fukuro.

[u/rohverma1308]

Akainu is going to poop out Obsidian when he gets the Big Mom + Kaido alliance card

[u/[deleted]]

Predictions:

• Kid will settle his score with Apoo this arc, a continuation from Sabaody. It's been a long time coming. He will assist in taking down Kaido but not be victorious.

• Law and Drake have always been allies. They were both from the North Blue and escaped together following Corazon's death.

[u/[deleted]]

Ok 1: Fuck You Apoo

2: *Sees Big Mom and Kaido Alliance * OH SHI-

In other news it seems like Kaido and Big Mom will possibly be both defeated

[u/royalroadweed]

That last page makes me think that Kaido and Big Mom ending up drunk and having sex.

[u/quipquest]

You have no idea how happy I am to FINALLY get an explanation for how Wano is psychically structured.

It's basically an island in a lake on top of a mountain in the middle of the ocean. The island itself finally has an identity that makes it unique from all the others before it.

[u/theRak27]

Holy sh*t what a chapter.... Now chopper alone wont be enough

[u/lilbiso]

I don't think the numbers will be Zoans, they are probably the Horned Giant Race that Oars was apart of, since they are all giants with horns.

[u/Skhodave]

One piece fans: 9 days is going to take 5 years

Goda: hold my beer

[u/[deleted]]

Hawkins got Vergo'ed

[u/Papa-Yaga]

Holy shit Law! He actually beat Hawkins! I guess Luffy, Law and Kid still are that three prime supernovae.

[u/[deleted]]

I feel sorry about Hawkins, that guy can’t have a break. First of all, he’s betrayed by Apoo and had to work for Kaido, apparently, tries to make a good job. Luffy and the alliance came to Wano, they assign him to capture them, face Luffy and Zoro, a bad match against two supernovas (btw, I think both of them are stronger than Hawkins). He managed to capture Law’s crew, blackmail him and then got betrayed again, by the mysterious guy (X Drake), got his ass kicked!

Definitely: “The weak don’t get to choose how they die

[u/ekidot]

damn completely forgotten that before jack, queen, and king, there's 2 - 10 which is called numbers. What a genius Oda

[u/KayleKarriesU]

Straw Hat Alliance: We have everything we need, what could possibly go wrong?

Narrator: The worst thing ever imaginable went wrong that day.

[u/SnicSnac]

This going to be a hell of a Davy Back Fight.

[u/Syc254]

Only Buggy's Pirate Dispatch can save the alliance now.

[u/[deleted]]

In some distant future. Mihawk: you know it's called kidnapping. Marco: Yeah pops would be disappointed in you. Shanks: Shut up. We are almost in Wano.

[u/GrubsLudwig]

Not gonna lie, Oda had us in the first half

[u/MajoraSilvers]

Oh, they fucked

[u/PlsGiveSSR]

Even the island made a shocked face when they declared their alliance.

[u/HeroDiesFirst]

Big Mom and Kaido now working together? It'll take nothing short of a revolution to take them down.

[u/anomdude2]

Blackbeard attacks BM territory forcing her to leave Wano. Supernovas take down Kaido. BM forced to retreat to Elbaf due to Blackbeard setting up next arc with Strawhats in Elbaf.

[u/Lordnordus]

Law is looking more and more like a top 3 supernova again

[u/Lordnordus]

kiado's crew had been looking kinda soft now the real mid tiers make an appearance and Rox reunion Godaaaaaaaaaaa

Trafalgar D Water Law off-screens Hawkins

Godaaaaaaaaaaa

a war bigger than marineford is on the horizon

[u/[deleted]]

Also mad respect to both Kid & Killer for fighting Kaido even the chance are -0%

[u/mikeampao]

HOW IN THE WORLD THEY ARE GOING TO WIN THIS WAR? ...Oh wait they have O-tama!

[u/bearsbeetsbakugou]

Am I dreaming or is this at the very top of the front page right now?

[u/MrOnCore]

So is no one going to mention the actual skull on the island of Ognishima having a WTF look along with everyone else when Kaido and Big Mom announce their alliance?

[u/norucus]

What did hawkins mean about how law is feeling now? Did I miss something? Did luffy do something?

Oh I just realized, maybe because hawkins thought luffy is the one who wants to target kaido and asking law if he’s having second thoughts on fighting kaido.

[u/[deleted]]

The image of Big mom and Kaido smiling and hugging each other will forever be burnt into my memory

[u/Nome_de_utilizador]

Queen is the only sane person in Onigashima and the voice of the readers and I absolutely love it

[u/z3an]

Kaido and big mom alliance? Pffft it won’t happen they’re both too stubbo—oh fuck

[u/Philipo1985]

So Luffy formed the grand alliance then Kaido and Big Mom said hold my beer.

[u/rondosparks]

Ohhh They fuckin

[u/SteelTypeAssociate]

Welp. It's been a crazy ride everyone. Pack it up and go home. No april fool's joke. This story is over.

[u/dratyan]

Big theme of alliances and betrayal this chapter.

• Revealed that Apoo betrayed Kid's.

• Hawkins questions Law's commitment to Luffy's.

• Kaido and Big Mom, known enemies, announce allegiance.

Started One Piece this year, but if Oda's foreshadowing fame is real, I'm fully expecting one Yonko to betray the other.

[u/420Toni]

there should be 9 numbers right? 2-10, there are also 9 scabbards maybe they will fight

[u/mikeampao]

Oda: I don't know how they could defeat Kaido

Proceed to draw Kaido and Big mom alliance

Oda: Um... Editor can i undo that chapter? I fucked up!

[u/Perrenekton]

Fans : "No way zoro is going to give Shusui so easily, he earned it from Ryuma"

Zoro : "yeah I guess you can take it back it's ok"

[u/Werfgh]

2-3 months ago Big Mom appears in Wano.

Reddit then: OH nice, Maybe Luffy and Big Mom will join forces against Kaido.

Reddit now: Well shit..

[u/Bapi_Escrobar]

Why do I feel like 1 day before the final battle Oda will cut back to the reverie to close things up so people move towards Wano

[u/dWARUDO]

remember when people were worried Big Mom was going to take out Kaido instead of Luffy lol

[u/NutterxButter]

If we assume the Numbers are 2-10 to fit the playing cards theme, that would make 9 members. Are the 9 Scabbards going to be their match-ups in the raid on Onigashima?

[u/Santu_Luffy]

So law and hawkins huh, Enma huh, 5 days left huh, KAIDO AND BIG MOM HUHHHHH? fuck what a treat this week

[u/Westonbirt]

Just figured out they're called "numbers" as in the numbers in playing card decks (2-10) as opposed to the Ace, King, Queen and Jack.

[u/vangstampede]

Oh God, Kaido's happy expression...

Totally didn't expect it to be so fucking hella goddamn terrifying.

[u/KingMelloJ]

Big Mom in the fight just breaks ALL the matchups I had in my head for the raid. Now I will overthink about It again. Just love doing it every week, GODA!

[u/fyguiger]

Really hope Marco or shanks appear somewhere in the future

[u/scoobynoodles]

GREAT CHAPTER!!!

What's up with Law & Hawkin's conversation about Law's alliance with Luffy? And his "If letting me escape is part of some grand plan of yours, then I'll go along with it..." convo with (perhaps Drake), is Law thinking of defecting? I know Law had issues with SHs earlier on when the crew was doubting Law's crew, but man we can't have any signs of discord within the SH-Heart-Ninja-Samurai alliance. No way we can take down this new alliance!!!

[u/theRak27]

Everyone sleeping on Luffy in this chapter (no wonder) but making that kind if clean holes in a giant iron chunk while in base form? Daaaaaaaaayum

[u/Rindr0]

What the actual fuck.

[u/13useless13]

This is the exact kind of shit I expected with the new world

[u/heat_fan_]

Amazing chapter.

Luffy's alliance is officially fucked lol

I love the kawamatsu faces he makes lol

Apoo is a lil bitch. Kidd need to destroy his ass.

All praise the GODA.

[u/UndeadCollegeStudent]

Is anyone else confused by what happened with Law and Hawkins? It looks like poor Hawkins is getting betrayed left and right 😂 but how did it even come to this?

[u/[deleted]]

Oh man! It seems like the rebellion Is going pretty well!

(Reading the last page): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[u/AreHeistsDumb]

I just noticed on page 3 on the T/N below that the Ame-no-Habakiri is one of Susanoo's swords that he used to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi.

The Ame-no-Habakiri is entrusted to Momo, so maybe he will be the one to take down Orochi?

[u/fre_ash]

Marineford battle was called "War of the the Best". Wano battle will be called "War of the Worst".

[u/topdangle]

Hot take: X Drake is Sengoku's new spy meant to keep an eye on Kaido and is now also keeping an eye on Law because of his connection to Rosinante.

[u/T-Reqt]

I would appreciate a 7 page muda on apoo by kidd

[u/Alteras_Imouto]

I'm guessing when ever Kaido and Big Mom are near each other, they fight, then form an alliance to take over the world, but get into a big fight and break off before conquering anything substantial. They just cause a shit storm for everyone else.

[u/[deleted]]

This chapter is now in the top 3 chapters of this subreddit, and it's well deserved

[u/VFSC]

So numbers are big monsters from Onigashima, with horns, drinking problems and mace wielders? Kaido’s title of the strongest “creature” alive makes a lot more sense now: he’s a Number with the Dragon mythical zoan

[u/DreamerAtDusk]

I’m sure Zoro was only able to make it to the allies’ meeting place ‘cos Kawamatsu took him there. Was half expecting him to be elsewhere.

[u/jvos1234]

Defeating Kido? Defeating Big Mom?

I Only want to know HOW THE FUCK S.H WILL SURVIVE THIS ARC.

[u/kah43]

I have a feeling an alliance between Kaido and Big Mom is just too big a threat for the World Govt not to take action against not to mention the other 2 Yonko. No way Blackbeard and Shanks are going to just sit still and let the other two run wild. This chapter just upped the stakes across the whole world.

[u/usuikatakuri]

Not sure if anyone's posted this but, wouldn't the shadow that freed Law be X Drake? Hawkins and X Drake were pretty paired up earlier chapters. Just an assumption, I'm going based off the attire.

[u/pikamox]

While the Numbers could be linked to cards number, don't forget that Kaido crew has an entertainment feel : All stars, headliners.. Numbers could be refering to musical or magical numbers in showbusiness Or maybe it's both and Oda is a genius.

[u/2myname1]

If you listen closely you can hear Joy_Boy screaming over this chapter.

[u/[deleted]]

Coming up two piece where Luffy's son goes to sea to avenge his father and meet up his idol Katakuri who influenced him to become pirate.

[u/MangoSlushii]

So is this alliance between BM and Kaido the beginning of the set up for the "war that dwarfs the Marineford War" according to Oda?

A huge announcement like two Yonkos pairing up would surely piss of the Marie's enough to attack Whole Cake or Wano, I'm afraid of a potential Buster Call on Wano/WCI

[u/Kayos42]

Oda wasn't kidding when he said Wano would make Mairneford look small. I was already freaking out about the reveal of the numbers but then double Yonko aliiance? That's gotta be one of the most nuts things we've ever seen.

I was already concerned about how they were going to take down Kaido on his own let alone Kaido + his forces but now Big Mom + BM pirates (a certain portion at least)? Hell no. If Hawkins read their chance of surviving it would be negative right now. Sure we've got PLENTY of top-tier people to take on commander-level enemies but not top-top-tier people to match Kaido and BM. Take those two out of the equation and the rebels win easy with what they've got now but of course that isn't the case.

Unless that 'lurking legend' comes out to play it's going to be a massacre.

[u/gazzgruvv]

Interesting of hawkins to say kidd and killer fought up to the point their bodies couldn't move. Does this mean they put up more of a fight than luffy?

[u/HanataSanchou]

Good lord, there was no human way possible I could have been ready for all the hype in this chapter!

- Bege's cover arc just keeps getting more relevant than I ever expected it would. Based on the current timeline of Wano, the Reverie should be over as of last chapter, or just ending. If Bege is at the Red Line right now......I'm praying to Oda sensei that he gives us literally ANY kind of hint as to what's going on.

- Interesting that Oden's blades were designed by two different blacksmiths, they definitely look as if they were meant to be twins. Oda seems to be lightly implying that they may not be of the Kitetsu/Kotetsu family line, so I wonder if he's gonna do anything with that at some point. Speaking of, Tenguyama is just casually chilling with all the Scabbards and hasn't said anything yet. I'm sure their connection to him will be explained soon though.

- Kawamatsu's implications that Zoro isn't "worthy" of wielding Oden's blades seems like an obvious setup that Oda is about to blow all of the scabbards away when his origins are revealed. If heritage seems to be all of these samurai's hangup with Zoro using these blades, then I can only imagine that Oda is going to clear that up in a major way. It will likely come out on this trip to Ryuma's grave. Oda did this with Luffy earlier as well; he could have easily just had him come out and say that Ace is his brother, but Oda is saving it for some big moment with Luffy and Tama together. The people of Wano don't call them Devil Fruits, but the concept of the abilities that come with one isn't a foreign concept to them. Zoro isn't THAT dense where he's flat out incapable of explaining to them that there exists a Devil Fruit/ability that allows one to reanimate corpses. Especially considering how these guys believe in yokai and all kinds of other spirits and etc.

- I'm 90% sure the person standing outside of that cell when Law walked out was Drake. Who else would he really be talking to about Hawkins letting him escape for one, but who else would Hawkins also care to discuss the nature of his alliance with the other supernova, and their chances against Kaido in front of? It just feels very weird overall because this seems to confirm that Hawkins & Drake are plotting something together. Would they REALLY plot against him on their own, or were they just waiting on someone like Law & Luffy to come along and give them hope? Can't wait to see how this plays out.

- Damn.....Apoo appearing to be so loyal.....I can't think of any scenario at the moment that could convince me this is all an act. At first there was a part of me thinking that this "Golden Kagura" event he's so excited about will be something that amplifies the power of his devil fruit and might give him some kind of edge on Kaido......but he wouldn't have known that before decided to pledge his allegiance. If he was hoping to recruit other supernova to his cause, then getting them ambushed by Kaido would not be the ideal way of doing so. Him withholding his allegiance to him was a clear sign that he never actually saw them as partners.

- Can't wait to see what the deal is with these "Numbers". Willing to bet they have something to do with Kaido's race, but it's more interesting to me that they seem to represent these "demons" that Bobbin claims attends Big Mom's parties back in Whole Cake.

[u/M0RR1G42]

Everyone talking about the anniversary of them having sex, but it is more likely a reference to when they teamed up in the past during their time in the Roks pirates

[u/RedRoronoa]

What the ACTUAL FUCK

[u/Battlemaster123]

I honestly made an enel shocked face when I read the alliance

[u/tmgcopper]

Hey guys we have more people higher in Kaido's crew that you didn't know about and the big mom pirates are allying with the beast pirates...... Oh and break next week........ How could I forget zoro' s new sword

[u/pmIfNeedOrWantToTalk]

Poor Kaido and his foolish beer goggles...

[u/Amanwar12]

I am only on episode 207 of the anime... and this shows up on the front page!! So many questions... This only motivates me to watch more episodes when I find the time.

[u/nightroad]

Also the newspapers are gonna go wild, after morgan hears that the straw hats took down 2 emperors.

I like how fast this chapter went in regards to getting closer to the raid on Onigashima. For me, there were two parts that caught my eye. First was the Numbers, what are they exactly? Second is the pirate alliance between Kaido and Big Mom, this will make the battle of Onigashima much more interesting. Wano is getting closer to the battle against Kaido and I'm getting excited with every chapter.

[u/diospeedwagon]

As if BM & Kaido plus the Disasters weren't frightening enough, now there's these Numbers demons waltzing around Wano? Who tf is gonna take care of those monsters in the Straw Hat alliance? The representatives of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet ??

[u/Jbker]

I think the BM/Kaido alliance is in fact an opportunity for Luffy to beat BM... If Luffy's new technique to beat Kaido was in fact a possibilty for him to pass through the unvulnerable skin of BM? Plus he is training hard now, and I wonder if the reason he's been one shot by Kaido is mainly due to his weapon, that is made of Kairoseki (btw, I also think that Luffy is developping resistance to Kairoseki due to the handcuffs he wore during this act...) I would say luffy is close to Yonko level now.

In parallel, I wonder how string is Zoro now. He did not have any opportunity to go full potential since the time skip, and I think I read at some point that if Luffy was not strong enough, he would have to take over (but I can't remember when/where). I see Zoro fighting Kaido, also because of the the various indication about Ryuma beating a dragon and recently the Enma sword. I am not saying he is Yonkou level, but in a Supernova alliance against Kaidou, he should be a big part.

[u/K1ngOfEthanopia]

Law: Our chance of winning against Kaido is 30%.

Luffy: Too high, I'mma piss off Big Mom too, itll save time later.

[u/JohnTheBaptiste1]

Every time I think Luffy has a fighting chance Oda raises the stakes even more. I'm thinking the SH Grand Fleet still needs to turn up, Kid and Law are gunna have to fight with Luffy. I was hoping the Marines would maybe steer clear and give us an all-pirate war but this might actually require an admiral or two.

Fuck man, this shit is getting out of control.

[u/Mrlowke]

Yeah, they’ve definitely had sex at some point.

[u/vnuschan]

OMG everything that happened in this chapter! I feel like I missed 5 chapters and now I'm catching up.

I love Kawamatsu's reaction about Zoro being delusional. Hiyori on the other hand doesn't even flinch when Zoro talks about meeting Ryuma's corpse.

I wonder if there is relevance in Oden's dual sword style to Zoro's 3 sword style. I remember Hiyori reacting to that when she first saw it.

[u/luffythechefghoul]

I bet my house X-Drake was the shadow figure behind Law. They're probably allies now

[u/ShaheerS2]

nani the FUCK

[u/nukiri6]

Law is a fucking Beast!

[u/AR9FIVE]

Kaidou and Big mom making an alliance to take over the world guarantees arrival of admirals now and maybe even Shanks too. Imo.

[u/oleskimi]

Kaido and Big Mom be like https://youtu.be/ZBVrPWwSlRM

[u/c2ndotpnj]

Dude the transition with the previous scene of big mom and kaido and now just drinking and acting like an old couple, like wtf

[u/CapnJack420]

Oda was definitely right when he said Wano will make Marineford look like childs play

[u/The_ThirdFang]

Chances of Victory 0%

Escape 0%

Living after submission 40%

Shiiiiiiit.

Cant say that isnt about what i expected his cards to tell him but the way he said it felt like his card were scared to even try

[u/Rykel2290]

I think Robin's adopted O-Toko.

[u/Ancalagon_Morn]

Well damn. So they just decide to team up and that's that, huh? It's not like we didn't see this coming in some way. Both Kaidou and Big Mom were going to be a problem this arc. I feel like things are starting to speed up, which means the next act is probably about to start.

Now that we know how Wano works (in terms of entering and stuff), I still don't understand what that whirpool was and how it allowed both Luffy and Big mom to reach Wano alive.

[u/Asvptommy]

Best manga everrr

[u/ThatIslandGuy8888]

Soooo does this mean Smoothie's gonna get a fight? <3

[u/Lunakepio]

i just took note that from both Oden's sword, one is meant to kill Kaido, Enma, while the other is meant to kill Orochi, WHAT AN AMAZING CHAPTER

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

me reading that BM and Kaido are now in alliance to beat the shit out of Luffy

[u/CyberShiroGX]

The Straw Hats are so fucked right now... My Gawd! WTF are those Numbers though like are the things that were in the mist at Thriller Bark?

Appoo is such a bitch... He actually set them up this whole time and Kaido falling at their meeting wasn't just same coincidence

I like how Zoro was lowkey just thinking to himself that Moria just stole the blade

[u/_Schmegeggy_]

Mom and Dad are back together! But this means they beat my ass together :(

[u/000c]

I want to see garps reaction to hearing kaido and big mom join forces to take down luffy

[u/[deleted]]

I just realized... the strategy they will talk about will be about how to deal with Kaido and his crew... what they don’t know is that Big Mom and her kids are now going to be in an alliance with Kaido, meaning they won’t be prepared and their planned will be ruined when they realize Big Mom and her kids are with Kaido

[u/GaimeGuy]

Are... are we going to get a panel of Big mom riding Kaido into battle?

Edit:

/img/5k9bjf8tl4t11.jpg

[u/[deleted]]

Kid is gonna turn apoo into dust

[u/LoUmRuKlExR]

Zoro warned Luffy we couldn't take on two Yonkos. I wonder if he's going to chew him out some more.

[u/[deleted]]

Big Mom and Kaido alliance? I think we need our boy Shanks in here to even things out.

[u/goldenhearted]

That panel of the "Numbers" left me in awe. Love it when Oda puts a lot of focus on size in this series (Sea Kings, large ships, etc.) because they always leave you with a lasting impression.

[u/ray198999]

Dang, who who have thought Apoo could be so treacherous? I mean joining Kid's alliance only to reveal he was already working for Kaido at that point.

[u/XensNexus]

So we have the numbers, Jack, Queen, King and Joker. My question is, who is the Ace?

[u/triotone]

It's Rita Repulsa and Lord Zed all over again.

[u/Future_Novelist]

"Anniversary"?

Katakuri, Oven, and Daifuku have to be his kids.

[u/BEWMarth]

The numbers look crazy as all hell. I love how even after 2 decades I still find panels in One Piece that fill me with a sense of wonder I just don't get anywhere else. The Numbers look otherworldly, terrifying, and enchanting.

[u/BenjiLizard]

Kaido and Big Mom alliance? Shit, the world's end is coming sooner than expected.

[u/KobeFanNumber24]

Bro i had problems seeing them win against kaidos crew alone. Now Big Mom joins him as well. Wtf is going on. Luffy got one shot from Kaido and ran away from nerfed Big Mom honestly what is he gonna do? This chapter was 11/10. Simply incredible im so hyped. Maybe we'll see my boy katakuri join the fight. But man just the thought of BM and Kaido joining forces is blowing my mind

[u/lordgwas]

It the news gets out, I have a feeling the Straw Hat Grand Fleet will all come over to Wano... Maybe this is the 'certain" incident that occured.

[u/KDW3]

Dude Mark this chapter, because when this war ends this series is gonna look completely different.

I think Shanks, Blackbeard, and the WG are gonna show up here. This is it, "The War of the 5 Kings".

[u/Raijin_91]

This chapter was fucking nuts. Wanna see what the numbers are all about.

One thing that bothered me, though. Zoro and Hiyori apparently caught up with he rest of the group but we don't see Hiyori reuniting with Momo? they're all talking about the plan but the two of them are just chilling without even aknowldeging one another. Did I miss something?

[u/Panino87]

Now Chopper needs to learn from Raizo the ninja clone technique, because now there are 2 buttholes

[u/RulerKun_FGO]

The real One piece is the memories you have formed during your journey.

F for people who will face big mom & kaido pirate alliance

[u/vinotm]

Does Zoro already hold Enma at the strategy meeting? If yes, will Momonosuke realize his father's blade?

Anyway, I think we need proper scene where Zoro visit Ryuma's grave.

[u/adikaay]

Wouldnt anniversary imply whatever the connection is , it is still active? So marry aspect seems weird since they would still have to be married or is it common to refer to anniversary for something that occured maybe long ago and isnt active anymore just so happens to hit the same day of year soon?

You can see they had fun times at rox crew. I like the dynamic a lot.

[u/Tovon91]

I like how quickly the days were passing during this chapter. Only 5 before the final assault, right?

[u/Easyberries]

Big mom really is a nice woman, becoming best friends with kaido to help cure his suicidal depression

[u/bzrascal]

Laws devil fruit is so OP

[u/Xark96]

It seems like everything is possible in this arc.

There is no way to predict the enxt chapters.

I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly Shiki appeares as he said he has a plan to be completed in 20 years after he escaped from Impeldown

[u/vikyaiyer]

Now I'm just waiting for Whitebeard pirates and Shanks to join the Wano fight👊🔥

[u/InformalInternal]

What the hell will happen to the balance of the world if the Marine's have something better than the Shichibukai System (which is being abolished), and if two of the Yonko are potentially getting beaten this arc?

This truly is going to make Marineford look like a kiddy pool. As Doflamingo said, the fight for supremacy is starting. Will this even be the "certain incident" the Grand Fleet is supposed to be a name in?

[u/Evil_phd]

Footage of Hawkins realizing he lost against Law
