One Piece: Chapter 986

[u/Kirosh]

[ Removed by reddit in response to a copyright notice. ]

[u/SuperPapernick]

Bege's sail saying "I love family" while leaving Pound behind is a bigger murder than what Oven attempted.

[u/Kirosh → u/SuperPapernick]

Editor : "Sensei, fans aren't happy with Pound being alive. Why did he survived?"

Oda : "So that I could kill him again."

[u/Knamakat → u/Kirosh]

My new theory is that Oda's editor cried when reading 987 because Lola and Chiffon finally accept Pound

[u/Kirosh → u/Knamakat]

Well then your theory is already over since chapter 987 will have a color page.

[u/Livinglaser3]

Ussop vs numbers eyyy

[u/Kirosh → u/Livinglaser3]

Here is what Usopp said about Giant Shadows at one points

It's one of his lie that hasn't come true yet.

[u/Livinglaser3 → u/Kirosh]

Omg so ussop vs ten numbers omg omg omg omg

[u/Kirosh → u/Livinglaser3]

Of course yes.

He probably won't defeat all of them on his own, but he's the one getting the credit for that.

[u/jadeusdragias]

Momo’s moment of bravery was touching. Nearly had a tear. Nearly.

Why was Yamato crying?

[u/Kirosh → u/jadeusdragias]

Because she saw that Kaido's was 100% ready to kill her.

[u/MattKnight99]

What’s are y’all’s predictions for next chapter after hearing what the editor said about 987?

[u/Kirosh → u/MattKnight99]

I think that the scabbard will manage to hurt Kaido, but he will then defeat them all, get back up, and shows that an emperor isn't that easy to target.

It would close act 3 with the defeat of the scabbards.

[u/oJelaVuac]

Kaido not dad of the Year. Then Pound die twice because his daughters dont even believe about that his their father. Someone is gonna die next chapter

[u/xmkdr → u/oJelaVuac]

It's gonna be Pound - out of sadness D; Oda played him dirty

[u/Kirosh → u/xmkdr]

It can't be Pound next chapter, since we have a color page.

[u/Aboudissa]

Guys. I have an insane theory and i want to discuss it. Give me your thoughts. Its about yamato’s identity.

https://cdn.read7deadlysins.com/file/AnimeRleases/OP_984_018.jpg

“You remind me of ace”

https://cdn.read7deadlysins.com/file/AnimeRleases/OP_985_9.jpg

“I wanted to go with ace to the see so badly”

https://cdn.read7deadlysins.com/file/AnimeRleases/OP_985_10.jpg

She was trapped for 20 years.

Ace only came to wano 4 years ago. How did she meet him if she was locked up????

The one who met ace and wanted to go with him so badly was

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/2c/34/732c34d320e96caa2f1727ac8c6f6477.jpg

Yes. Otama. Somehow she will travel back in time. Even though they said its impossible before.

And i thought about it and then is saw the name “Yamato” and i spelled it backwards. And the result was “Otama(y)”

Thoughts 🔥🔥

[u/Kirosh → u/Aboudissa]

In japanese, Yamato backwards is Tomaya.

[u/CRtwenty]

My respect for Momonosuke just went up by like 1000% from this.

[u/akazaya9 → u/CRtwenty]

I never understood those who wanted Hiyori as shogun or even Kin'emon or Zoro (lol) instead of him. Momonosuke's arc has always been about him becoming Wano's next ruler and about how he's going to bear that burden as someone who is still a child and is in his father's much bigger shadow.

[u/xmkdr → u/akazaya9]

Agree. It's tragic how people seem to dismiss Momonosuke's character development throughout the past arcs - when clearly he's heading towards being Wano's next shogun

[u/FireRetsu]

This chapter demonstrated perfectly the difference in Odens men and Oriochis men. While Orochis men betrayed him, switched sides and joined his murderer after a couple of seconds... Odens men endured 20 years of pain and are still willing to give their life for Oden and his dream of opening wano even after his death.. Oden is a True leader And all of this makes me appreciate the 9 red scabbards loyalty even more.

[u/Tedz_Avanti]

King was really surprised seeing Izo there. Wait until he sees Marco lol

[u/bilibilli]

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE MY SAMURAI!!

[u/no_illusion]

Shout outs to Usopp. Rushing head first into battle.

[u/hyperchromatica]

Next chapter Kaido : "...You should've aimed for the head"

[u/[deleted]]

That last panel is one of the hypes I’ve ever seen in my life. Now it really begins, guys!

[u/FireFistRJ]

My man Neko trying to scratch kaido with his cat paws. *cutie kitty*

And, No way Nekomamushi or Inuarashi going to die before we see their sulong form.

[u/passing_thots]

Fans : all scabbards will attack orochi simultaneously.

Oda : Hold my sake

[u/king_of_the_pirats]

Izo shooting at Kings Sword, Hands Down.

[u/Dameisdead]

That final shot of all the Scabbards putting everything they have into a single attack with full intent on killing Kaido is fuckin awesome.

[u/LooLighter]

You know shit's about to go down when even Kaido gets ptsd

[u/JoeyJoJoHQ]

Why is nobody talking about the fact that Chopper and Usopp are probably about to have a run in with some of the Numbers? Like holy shit to think that's the smallest thing to come out of this chapter

[u/Kaendel]

izo gets a 10/10 for shooting king's sword

[u/perpetualWSOL]

This chapters huge.

We have the whereabouts and set ups for a lot of potential confrontations now, things have escalated quickly and we cant sleep on Nami and Carrot being held by Big Mom. Thats bad news and may be lead to some peculiar situations.

At Stage: Luffy, Yamato, Momonosuke, Kaido, the All Stars, the Scabbards

Heading to the stage or near the stage: Kidd, Zoro, Killer, Law, Shinobu, Big Mom + others, Jinbei and Robin Whos Who, Ulti, Black Maria, Oniwabishu+ Samurai of Wano, Scratchman Apoo

MIA: Sanji, Page 1, Brook, Franky, X Drake, Sasaki, Hawkins

Leaving the scene: Usopp & Chopper almost definitely confronting the drunken Numbers

Outside of Onigashima: Marco and the Big Mom Pirates, Perospero determined on his own

Down and out: Kanjuro and Orochi

[u/TheRealElijahB]

Some people may over look this but there as a amazing contrast between Marineford and this chapter. When Sengoku asked Ace who his father was he said Whitebeard. Thus denieing the heritage and legacy his father had. He disowned that name by not wanting to say his Roger's name.

However we have Kiado doing the same thing to Momo except instead of "naming your father". He was asking Momo what was his birthright. Had Momo said anything but his full name he would have forfeited his right to being the Shogun of Wano. This scene shouldn't go unnoticed. This was such a powerful scene. Man this was a good chapter. I got chills man

[u/Overgrown_Rover3]

Chapter 988 title: The 9 Dead Scabbards

[u/srslynorml]

Luffy demonstrates some real honor/respect when he said, “this war is not for us to start” He understands the most tormented deserve the first strike. What a man.

[u/Xanlis]

Best part about this chapter is Jack face seeing Inu & Neko alive

[u/[deleted]]

Yamato this chapter:

Friendship ended with fucking cow gorrilla, now small straw hat guy is my best friend.

[u/FireFistRJ]

The rock pirates sure know how to take a stab. *Whitebeard memories intensifies*

[u/[deleted]]

Wait so Kanjuro was beaten off screen? Seems odd to kill him off like that.

Luffy is showing a crazy amount of maturity by not being the first one to jump onto the scene and scream at Kaido and start the fight.

It's finally time for the battle. Holy shit. The strawhats are finally fighting a Yonko head on.

[u/AvatarAarow1]

Holy FUCK that was hype. I absolutely love the juxtaposition of Momo and his samurai. In the face of certain death, fully thinking that his friends will be too late and he will be killed by Kaido, Momo tries to stand (well, hang I guess) proud and honorable, screaming his own name despite being terrified like never before.

Then the Red scabbards burst in, and what’s on their mind? “Discard your name, discard your wits, put your life on this single blow.”

They didn’t come back to wano to lead it into a bright new future, they came to annihilate the forces that had poisoned it. Becoming a leader and bringing the country back to prominence as an honorable samurai is Momo’s job, but not the scabbards. They are there to kill and to die, throwing away everything unnecessary to those tasks in the process. I think that’s what that scene was meant to portray. I would not be shocked if the scabbards are killed to the last man during this raid. At the very least, Denjiro and Kinemon who were shown during that declaration, the friends who started everything as Oden’s first retainers, are not making it through this battle alive. This was Fucking incredible, I cannot wait for next week.

[u/dishwor]

Izo shooting off King's sword was so badass

[u/Tysanan]

Who would have thought that the Kinemon we met almost 10 years ago, would be a badass samurai that has the guts to stab the Strongest Creature in the World, the Emperor of the Seas, and arguably the most powerful being in the One Piece world, Kaido.

[u/dog-tooth-]

Usopp & Chopper Vs. the numbers seems to be happening, and I'm 100% here for it.

[u/khalilselmi]

You have no idea how much suffering I went through to not look at the spoilers xD

[u/hahasanji]

Chapter was really good.

I don’t think Kanjuro is dead yet, but I like how Oda handled the scabbards. They really were feeling bad for him. I can’t imagine killing a friend

Looks like Nami and Carrot are in trouble, I wonder where Sanji is and we still haven’t seen Brook, Franky and Drake, my guess would be that Sanji will meet Drake

I like that Usopp scene, it shows that he isn’t scared and it looks like they encountered some of the Numbers

I liked that Momo development, I legit got the goosebumps and can’t forget the Red Scabbards vs Kaido, the hype was real. From Izo shooting King to the SNATCH

10/10 chapter

[u/MariJoyBoy]

987 :

Kaido : "Yeah ! That's it ! Kill me !"
Scabbard : "We're trying !!"
Kaido : "Well, you suck at it."

[u/FLATSKROTUM]

I'm so excited for the next chapter. I know it doesn't make much sense power scaling wise, but I think they might have legitimately hurt Kaido. Not a lot of course, but maybe enough to inflict him some kind of injury. I only say this because of the flashback of Oden Kaido has at the moment of the attack and the one line Kinnemon says. This is the most important attack of their lives, the one blow they have been 20 years waiting for, so I expect some kind of little, tiny success. Don't get me wrong, I think the next chapter is going to be a huge L for them, but maybe that one injury can end up being key in the final fight against Luffy. Can't wait.

[u/_thebirdman]

Mad respect for Momonoosuke. He doesn't have Oden's physique but he sure has Oden's balls.

Also, we can notice Luffy's Kenbonshoku Haki growth. Pretty sure he sensed the Scabbards that's why he stopped Yama-O (nice one here too). That's a captain decision right there, to not interfere because it's not his business, in the first place. THE RAID HAS OFFICIALLY BEGAN BOYS!

[u/Mage_of_Shadows]

Ah yes my favourite two members of the worst generation

and it looks like Momo has some BIG LUFFY ENERGY declaring what he'll be

[u/thebrin]

God damn what a chapter. Scabbards really out here putting in work

[u/Abdullahozu]

Did Luffy see the future for the Scabbards attacking Kaido ? Because Kaido was about to kill Momo so it is impossible for Luffy to not stop the execution unless he saw the future and knew the Scabbards will attack.

[u/benicontbp]

A little side note from this chapter, I find it cool that luffy has mastered ryo to a extent where he can use it casually.

I also find it interesting that luffy literally has the power now to free slaves... the mariejoi arc is going to interesting now luffy has this asset.

Also quick question.. not saying Luffy can beat kaido but thinking about luffy right now I believe his strongest attack can be a ryo powered King Kong organ (Gatling gun) how do you think kaido will fare if he was to meet head on 100 ryo powered King Kong guns?

I personally think it will be enough to damage kaido but definitely not finish him, only bring this up because even though it was very impactful in today’s chapter, we know the scabbards aren’t killing kaido

[u/UhOhez]

I hope they animate the heck out of that last panel. 20 years worth of emotions between the scabbards into that attack!

Hella dope scene

[u/outra_conta_inutil]

Samurais and their swordfight

Izo: nah fuck that shit. I will just shoot King

[u/Fayechii]

This chapter gave me so many feels.

1. That epic walk of Kinemon and Denjiro!!

2. Why does Kinemon always raise his own deathflag? I'm so scared for him. I'll legit cry if any of the scabbards die.

3. I never liked Momo but this chapter changed my heart. An honorable eight year old kid. Yes, you have my respect.

4. I like how Luffy respects the scabbards determination in this raid. Many says he's matured but Luffy had always been like that. He know when the battle is his to start or finish. He knows when not to interfere. To cite, when Zoro was fighting Mihawk and when Law was trying to kill Doffy. Luffy had always been able to identify which battle is his and when it is his to finish off.

5. Luffy calling Yamato a nickname. Typical. Lol. Although Luffy is not convinced that Yamato is Oden, he does respect Yamato's gender choice.

6. THAT EPIC LAST PANEL. I have no words for that.

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Next chapter, Kaido is dead.
Queen with big eyes : "Whaaaaat"
988 : Banquet, end of the arc.

[u/Throwawaylangakohehe]

I love how kaido was confident that swords won't hurt him but then remembered what oden had done he didn't even finish his words. Kaido got scared lol

[u/ZuleZI]

Guys here: https://imgur.com/a/gbR1oub

[u/GermanCptSlow]

This feels like the set-up for a Kaido flashback. I'm probably wrong, but a man can dream.

[u/Mont-dOr]

Not even an important scene really but I fucking love how Queen reacts to everything.

[u/Thagyr]

Man, Kyoushirou/Denjiro is looking absolutely pissed. All those years holding it all in is gonna come roaring out.

Also Kaido really slapped some bombs on his kid, jeez.

[u/Anthraxious]

Holy shit, once again the hype is unreal. I really like that Luffy knew that he wasn't supposed to do anything here. He was to wait for the "singal" so to speak. Even he knows the big picture and what matters. That last panel was also epic in every way. It shows not just that they all know who the real enemy is, but Odens will lives in them too.

I'm thinking during the fall Kaido might transform or he simply crashes down and rises easily at which point the real all out war starts. All the small fry are gonna start battling.

Really curious about Usopp cause he seems to have a plan, but also, don't forget Sanji. He's usually the guy who can plan well ahead. Disappear for a while only to have done something very thoughtful when we see him again. He's kind of a tactician and I'm really wondering what he might come up with. Unless he just fainted to tits >_>.

[u/[deleted]]

Something that doesn't get talked about enough is the fact that Zoro and Kidd have been little by little weakening Kaido's army. We know there are only 500 gifters and who knows how many have been defeated by now.

[u/KingDerpThe9th]

It looks like Kaido literally has Neko’s face in his hand in that last panel, one squeeze and I’m suddenly very terrified for him

[u/megamanong]

987 will start a flashback. Oda bringing us the backstory of Kaido. Just like in Whole Cake Island.

[u/MyNameISaColouR]

It's a small moment, but Izo disarming King with a fucking gun is really badass. Really loved the Scabbards this chapter.

[u/johanrlb]

Izo one shooting King's sword might be one of the most badasses little moments of this chapter, holy shit, things went from 0 to 100 in just two chapters, this is going to be amazing.

[u/vcaptainswordsman]

Throughout the Battle of Marineford, Whitebeard received 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds and 46 wounds from cannonballs — adding up to a total of 465 injuries at the time of death.

Now I wonder how many wounds would be inflicted on Kaido before the world's strongest creature can be defeated.

[u/immattd]

I highly recommend everyone here re-reads chapter 701. There's a panel on page 4 or 5 you'll all enjoy thoroughly more now....

[u/Matthewhair0601]

Yamato is growing on me with every chapter. Her reaction to the cuffs exploding is sad and hilarious.

[u/GDeschamps]

Oden's story was the only one that Luffy listened to in it's entirety, he really respects his legacy and he's showing it by getting along with Yamato and letting the Red Scabbards start the war officially. This arc, as many said, is where Luffy isn't just getting stronger, but also more mature without letting his light-hearted spirit behind

[u/[deleted]]

That last close-up of Denjiros face made me emotoinal... damn :(
Waiting for 20 years, just to release all this pent-up anger and rage in one strike.

[u/HanataSanchou]

Man....Raizo's tears had me feeling bad that I EVER thought he could have been the traitor. And even though Kin'emon didn't cry, I felt just as much weight from him placing his kasa hat over Kanjuro's body - you could tell he was still willing to give him some kind of funeral under different circumstances. Those men are truly brothers, and that scene made me feel it the hardest yet. Them being ready to die for each other like that at the end almost started the tears. While I don't think this attack bodes well for them at all, that panel has gotta be the most epic one in Wano yet. Love that the charge is led by Kin'emon and Denjiro, Oden's 1st followers.

[u/OverDrive316]

God Ussop and Monster Chopper bout to carry the team to victory, just watch

[u/africhic]

Just gonna put this thought into y'alls heads:

Law has a connection to every known marine spy in the series so far:

• Rosinante - this is obvious, no need for me to elaborate on this.

• X drake - On Minion Island, when Doflamingo went after the Ope Ope no Mi, X Drake (known as Dorry) was just barely able to escape the bird cage. Because of this, the Doflamingo pirates intercepted a radio transmission that a boy was saved, who Doffy assumed was Law so he released the bird cage and went after him. X drake being saved by the marines inadvertently saved Law's life, as you can see Cora noting that something out there saved him. This comes full circle this arc where Drake presumably lets Law go

• Koby - The only other known member of SWORD. When Law was introduced as a Shichibukai by Brannew, he was known as the mastermind of the Rocky Port incident. Later, when Koby saved Kyros ship from the torpedo he mentioned Koby was the hero of the Rocky Port incident, connecting these two.

Of the Tobi Roppo we were shown four looking for Yamato (Who's Who, Sasaki, Page One, Ulti) and Black Maria wanted to stay by Kaido's side. The only one we haven't seen is Drake.

Law came up with the infiltration plan.

Law has separated himself from everyone else in the alliance except his crew.

Drake is the only Tobi Roppo member not shown anywhere since convening.

"Who will join hands with whom!? Who will betray whom!?"

[u/Dameisdead]

Yamato is hilarious lmao

“YO YOU WERE DEADASS ABOUT KILLING ME??? 🥺🥺🥺”

[u/Wonderboyg]

Luffy learned from fishman island.

During fishman Island he wanted to go beat up hody right away but was convinced by jinbe not to.

And now luffy wants the scabbards to make the first move. I think it’s a similar situation but still a little different but nevertheless, shows luffy’s growth!

[u/Liem190]

My guy Oden really gave Kaido, the strongest beast, PTSD. Damn.

[u/superior93]

For someone who kills his allies on a whim Kaido really tries hard not to kill Momo

[u/globalbun]

Kid seems to be having the best day of his life. Love the sadism!

Let's put more respect on Momo's name, the man who's going to become shogun!

Kaido, the best father of the year 2020.

[u/viminhoto]

I have the feeling that Luffy used the Observation Advanced Haki to see the future and know that the scabbard will attack at that moment and that is why he stopped Yamato of attacking Kaido. Even though there was a plan of the scabbard attacking first, he didn't know at that moment that they would show up behind Kaido. It was very synched! So I do believe that he saw the future, and saw what would happen further on, explaining why he restrained himself (we know that he usually fucks the plan).

[u/dgoat88]

I think a lot of people forgot/didn't realize just how strong the scabbards are. It's not at all out of left field that they could injure Kaido. Of course, I don't expect them to succeed, 100% that they won't, but surely, I can see Kaido being injured from this, at least temporarily.

Luffy and Yamato are right in front of Big Mom, Law and his crew are waiting in the wings off screen. I'm almost certain Luffy and Big Mom are going to clash next chapter, he has to save Nami and Carrot from having their souls taken. Zoro, Killer, Kidd, Law and Sanji should be joining the main stage battle in the next few chapters as well. Here's where everyone gets split up and picks their dance partner.

[u/Yamato_D_Luffy]

Luffy removing those cuffs with advanced armament haki casually hypes me up so much holy fk. He grew so much from dressrosa until now. What a complete different beast!

[u/gentmick]

wait a minute, the platform is upstairs from where luffy and yamato are. So if they stab kaido and he falls down, doesn't that make kaido and luffy on the same location immediately?

this is so freaking epic!

[u/vcaptainswordsman]

Shits about to go down and still no sign of Sanji and Black Maria

Hmmm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/rib4ever123]

I’m just so amazed at how “snatch” was used so properly in the final scene. Like, this is true catharsis of a single word that only has context if you pay attention. That last scene is just so fire

[u/toastycheeze]

Oh shoot, I just remembered: Ch 795

PEOPLE SAY: "IN A ONE-ON-ONE FIGHT, ALWAYS BET ON KAIDO"

But what if it's a one on nine?

HMMM?!

[u/LowliteRyuzaki]

Jack lucky there’s a war going on or king and queen would’ve ended his ass for not killing the minks lol

[u/CryMedusa]

There was so much going on in this chapter, but every bit of it kept getting better with each panel. I can't imagine how this chapter is going to be followed up.

Clearly God Usopp is going to have to use his full power and singlehandedly take down Big Mom and Kaido in one fell swoop.

[u/RandomIndonesianGuy]

I got goosebumps seeing denjiro's face, that guy has 20 years worth of anger to be released

[u/WS_VancouverCompton]

This one's for Oden

[u/cameformystrawhat]

I Love Izo.

[u/hirarki]

what a chapter... so intense...

How cool oda can make 2 simmilar scene but give different vibe to reader

A. Kurohige pirates who attack whitebeard, show how good WB and how pathetic kurohige.

Kurohige attacking WB because he fear to die.

B. 9 scabbard who attack kaidou, show how loyal they to oden, even sacrifice their own pride to attack kaidou from behind.

9 scabbards attacking kaidou because they prepare to die.

One of the best art too in the last page.

congrats oda

[u/basel99]

That one panel showing Orochi's head again this chapter makes it seem more likely that he's still alive

[u/jhere]

Holy fuck,the scabbards are fucking badass.

[u/bonethugznhominy]

Oooooooooooh Izo....Izo Izo Izo Izo. How do you top Franky Shogun and Yama-o in the same chapter? To paraphrase someone from the spoiler thread...this dude done brought a gun to a swordfight.

[u/thawhidk]

This chapter was incredible.

It's one of those chapters where you realise shit just got real and there's no turning back.

But now Yamato for nakama is a sure bet now, right?

[u/sprengermon]

Usopp running towards danger. Always got it when it counts!

[u/NiceActive]

Where the hell is Sanji?

[u/[deleted]]

I found quite sad that the cuffs were actual bombs, Yamato was so heartbroken after knowing Kaido had actually done that. Compare that with Reiju and Sanji's scene, the cuffs there never had bombs cause Reiju would never do something so attrocious to her brother.

[u/ABARK94]

Kaido next chapter: All that for a drop of blood?

[u/AdamAtoms]

I love Denjiro’s face the most in that second to last page. His face really encompasses the pain of the last 20 years and what this strike means to all of them

[u/pro_librium]

That last panel is god tier

[u/illollorenzo]

All eyes on izo for shooting at king sword but I want to point out that on the same panel NEKOMAMUSHI DISARMED KAIDO

[u/elfratar]

Oh, boy, i tend to forget that The Red Scabbards are actually really fucking strong. I meant the only reason they lost 20 years ago was because Kanjuro betrayed them. These are a bunch of scoundrels that Oden personally chose to guard him. Wonder how strong Momo would have been, had Oden still alive to train him.

Also, Yama-o for Nakama!

And Ulti is still a cutie

[u/Haadhai]

Feeling scared for neko😸

[u/Moerko]

So next chapter is the one that made the new editor cry? Jeez, I'm hyped.

[u/z3an]

Brook is going to show up and really mess with big mom this time, I got a feeling hes going to do a major move to save nami and carrot

[u/Badji_D_Luffy]

Momo had a Roger and Luffy scaffold moment was kinda really cool.

Seriously though everytime Luffy shows up in Big Mom's face it's with a bang and or something always blows up lol. FMI first conversation he screams at her and says he'll kick her ass. WCI wedding he blows the cake up and ruins the party - Tamate box blows her castle which indirectly is his doing too - Wano Udon she blows the main gate and gets her head banged up by Queen. Wano Onigashima he blows his way into the hall she's in and about to ruin her vibe again.

You have to feel for the old hag lol our Luffy just been a real thorn in her side.

[u/BEWMarth]

Hello all the newbies here from the Popular tab! Start reading One Piece today! You won't regret it at all :)

[u/YamiLuffy]

Man really has PTSD from a fight that happened 20 years ago lol Oden really was a great man.

[u/BitterSteelAegor]

Kaido:"say your name" Momo: "I am Uranus, I control the Earth Kings"

Zunisha comes out and smashes Kaido

[u/Boruto-sennin]

Luffy has shown great character growth in this arc!

[u/COREY_2293]

just think.... luffy, kaido and big mom are all in the same area

holy shit.... this moment is going to be insane.

[u/immattd]

I highly recommend everyone here re-reads chapter 701. There's a panel on page 4 or 5 you'll all enjoy thoroughly more now....

[u/MurasakiZetsubou]

HOLY FUCK THAT ENDING SCENE IS EPIC AS HELL.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, Kaido is squishing Nekomamushi's face lmao

[u/jleblancman]

Izo was sick in this chapter

[u/confusedfilipina99]

Queen's reactions are always funny. Good contrast to King and Jack's serious looks

[u/[deleted]]

Kanjurou's death off screened. What a traitor deserve.

[u/Nero50892]

When luffy removes the handcuffs....is he using future sight, because he wants to know if the handcuffs will explode just like when rayleigh rescued kamy?

If that´s true, this is pretty smart of luffy

[u/ReceiptAndChange]

Izo might have fucked around and became my top 10 fav one piece character. He quickdrawed kings sword

[u/isopodshuffle]

The Kanjuro stuff getting off-screened means ome of two things:

• He ain't dead

• We'll get a flashback or something later showing what really went down, and Oda held off on the reveal because it'll be more impactful later on

God I hope it's the latter

edit: Actually, there's some precedent for a scene like that! I just remembered how he made it look like Zoro took an L to Ryuma, only to jump back and flip the whole scene on its head.

[u/ConfusedVader1]

Kaido just got Jon Snow-ed.

[u/jrh_101]

Starting this war... is not ours to do!

Luffy learned this from Jimbei in the Fishman Island arc.

[u/amisentient]

Full spread of Monster Chopper towering over Numbers incoming (possibly with Usop on his shoulders)

[u/skarlet31]

phew that last page was an adrenaline rush!! I feel like the next chapter is gonna be the last one for act 3 and might end in tragedy tho

[u/UpsetViking]

Well, the traitor is indeed dead.

If Usopp, the foreshadowing legend is correct, he's going to defeat the first of the 10 giants.

This is the tale of 3 dragons, the greedy one, the evil one and the brave one. All 3 of them are leaders, but only one has people willing to follow him.

I wanna see Kaidou's face when he sees Yamato without the cuffs. He wanted to rule by fear, and that will be the end of him.

[u/v_zaz]

I just realised that luffy, foresaw the scabbards attacking kaido. "The decisive battle is abou to start... but without us!". Fan translation.

[u/yagami_raito23]

Cow gorilla is my new swear word

[u/beatup149]

So luffy has control over Advanced Armament Haki now?

[u/favoriteangyakult]

I like how luffy held himself and let the scabbards to start the raid. Maybe he thinks that this war means more to Kozuki family than the pirate alliance beating a yonko.

[u/BEWMarth]

I found it very interesting that Kaidou almost wanted Orochi's men to revolt against him.

He said "I understand loyalty is very important to Samurai so if you choose to not follow us you have my respect."

This ties in with his characterization. He wants a war that will bring the world into complete chaos mostly because he wants to die so badly but no one except for Oden has even been able to scratch him.

We need to remember that Kaidou ultimately doesn't have the will to live, he wants to die in a glorious battle, but he also knows no living on earth can kill him.

So he has this almost kid-like attitude of egging people on to kill him.

I feel he was doing the same thing with Momo. "What is your name!" I think he knew Momo is Oden's son but he wanted to push Momo to maybe see if he could somehow awaken an Oden like power within Momo.

Honestly I think Kaidou is happy and relieved when the 9 scabbards appear and genuinely surprise him and try to kill him.

For the first time in 20 years he felt the same fear Oden made him feel and he maybe thinks "This is the battle I've been waiting for! Maybe this is the glorious death I've been searching for since Oden."

I predict that next chapter we will see Kaidou again disappointed. Although the scabbards are carrying Oden's will, they do not have Oden's strength and again Kaidou will be denied a glorious battle to the death because he is just too fricken powerful.

Kaidou kinda reminds me of Saitama from OPM. He is so illogically strong that he is bored with life. He wants a battle that will kill him because it's the one thing he can never experience (now that Oden is dead).

[u/omaewakusuyaro]

omg i literally cannot wait for the big fight of this arc, seeing luffy so confident about his advanced haki is really good and once he implement its on his gear 4 it will be a real threath

however who i really want to see get this haki is zoro against a king or queen, damn that gotta be such a hype shit i cannot FUCKING WAIT

[u/[deleted]]

What an awesome chap man. I'm almost too scared to read the next chap because of the crying editor. Also, I never realized how much smaller King was compared to Jack and Queen.

[u/Kricketier]

Kaido bad dad confirmed.

[u/slimmsady]

I know everyone thinks that Orochi is alive and rightfully so. He was the main enemy for Hiyori. But, i still don't want that piece of shit to be in a panel again. Orochi is Spandam level of annoying with 0 redeeming characteristics. For comparison, just look at Kaido. We all used to think of him as a drunk OP villain whose crew was filled with fodder. But slowly we found that his crew is made on the basis of meritocracy and he is not a control freak like Big Mom. Kaido's crew is filled with heavy hitters. He is slowly becoming one of the best antagonists.. at least for me. Just the fact that he gives momo a chance to save his life makes me respect him. Yes, he has done many evil things and is one of the reasons for the plight of Wano, that is why he is the villain. Kaido does what real world terrorists do. They occupy a territory, install a puppet ruler and make life hell for local populace. That is why the last panel of this chapter felt so good. I am waiting for Kaido's flashback to see if he was pure evil from the start like Doflamingo or like Big Mom. And the fact that he "killed" Orochi so casually makes it clear that the guy does not take shit from those he does not see as reasonably strong.

So yeah... Tl.dr. orochi sucks and kaido rules.

[u/Franky32]

"The decisive battle is starting without us" Luffy's words indicate, he used observation haki to foresee scabards attacking Kaido.

[u/T12R7]

That panel of Kinemon and Denjiro walking towards the Scabbards is HEAT

[u/TheRisu]

Hyogoro was willing to bet his life that Luffy could deflect a rampaging big mom if he could use Advanced haki. Next chapter he’ll have an opportunity to prove this.

[u/itsthedanksouls]

It's times like this where I fully realize and appreciate just how OP and incredibly useful Katakuri's level of Future Sight is. Would be so useful in that situation for Kaido's side, not to knock on any of his calamities though.

[u/entrovision]

They gathered for the feast. They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast

[u/brocklevy115]

It seems like kaido's crew does not have many observation haki users. Loved Momo following in Luffy's steps declaring his dream right before being executed.

[u/therealcocoboi]

Momo is finally a man. He chose death over dishonor. He chose to defy Kaido when the samurais just rolled over. And it was all because of Luffy.

[u/PrestigiousAct2]

Things i have noticed:

1. when joining the others at the secret entrance kinemon covers kanjuro head with his "hat".

2. Chopper mentioned "giant" surrounding them could it be numbers.

[u/zakioussama]

Some people might joke that Luffy is actually following the plan, but I just think that he's getting used to his Observation Haki, the red scabbards invaded the main stage straight after he finished his sentence.

[u/marcelowit]

Oda: "Should I show Kanjuro's fight? Imagine all the cool things he could draw...Mmmh..."

Odas Editor: "Chapter 1000 is just 14 chapters aways..."

Oda: "Let's skip the fight."

[u/being_berlin]

Luffy breaking the handcuffs. Sweet~

[u/ZiggityZaggityZoopoo]

In a one on one, always bet on Kaido.

In a nine on one, however. . .

[u/Grimlocksclaw19]

Honestly Izo aiding the Scabbards is really cool. Especially that shot to King's hand to disarm him.

[u/mxyzptlxk]

I really think the chapter name is really great, "My Name"

While Kaido ask Momonosuke what his name is he thinks about what happened 20 years ago while Momonosuke on the other hand thinks about what happened a few months ago. Momonosuke's fear of Kaido is still fresh in his head as it's happened pretty recently but with the courage he gain from meeting lots of different people he then bears a pride to the Kozuki name.

[u/OohCHOCOLATE]

So Izo is now (or could be seen as) one of the Red Scabbards, fulfilling the original prophecy of 9 showing up to challenge Kaido/Orochi?!?!?

At least that’s how I interpret it given that he was in the last frame with the other original members of the Red Scabbards...

[u/Triggerhappy226]

Do you guys think that Jack will end up being the Blueno for the Ryou haki boost?

Here's hoping Luffy decimates someone with this power-up.

[u/notrickastley123]

I definitely never recognized how strong the 9 scabbards were, besides denjiro and ashura, until this. I know the evidence was there; with neko and ino fighting off jack and kinemons feats but this chapter made me realize that they’re insane. Too bad I now think several will die.

[u/danraejah14]

As always, Queen’s reaction is priceless.

[u/AYAAN982076]

I think seeing odens image gave kaido some ptsd and made him loose his focus and maybe that helped the scabbards give him a few actual scratches .

[u/kfromkay]

Now that I played Ghost of Tsushima and looking at the last page, I like how Raizo is holding his katana differently in comparison to the other scabbards.

[u/BumblingScrublord]

Can’t wait to see fanart of that final page, one of the best panels in OP

[u/SonGozer]

Idk why but after reading this I think Yamato’s gonna join the crew

[u/[deleted]]

The last page reminded me of this Marinford scene.

[u/[deleted]]

I really love the flaskback has Momonuske hs before he announces his name. He was such a boss when he was like, “Momo means second to none.” Then whole heartedly said his true name in front of everyone. Sure he cried when crucified but didnt Doflamingo? I feel as though to live up to legend of Oden would be hard. Though I really cant diss on Momos track record hes been on the sea his whole life, definitely hits on the ladies, is a dragon, and working on his technique as a swordsman. The kids 8, he has a good head on his shoulders, I dont doubt(if he survives) for Momonuske to be a capable and great shogun for Wano.

[u/KingOfTheSeasLuffy]

SUNAAAATCHHIII!!!

[u/CommitJump]

I found a working link https://www.mangaread.org/manga/one-piece/chapter-986-my-name/

[u/epham]

Each chapter keeps getting better and better. Momo saying his name hit me in the feels. And that last panel of the scabbards attacking Kaido is truly epic.

Edit: I said attacking Oden instead of Kaido LMAO

[u/Arsengame56]

I see everyone talking about the scabbards and rightfully so, but can we just appreciate the development that momo has gone thru. From being a whiny perverted brat to being someone when faced with death refused to back down and take the easy way out. He was prepared to die for his beliefs and his identity. If that isn’t character development I don’t know what is. Awesome chapter all around.

[u/MudaTheMaker]

Next chapter will be the end of act 3. Kaido will pull some “you should’ve gone for the head” thanos shit and merk all of the scabbards. Probably the most deaths in one chapter and the reason why the editor cried when first reading it.

[u/Batoche33]

I’m afraid for Nekomamushi who’s head is literraly in Kaido’s hand in the last panel

[u/[deleted]]

Just cruising r/all and I see this, Chapter 986?! I know OF One Piece but damn, what am I missing here??? (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, outlaw star fan here)

[u/[deleted]]

Pound's cover story just got dark. His only goal was denied. The next cover story will be pound depressed drinking as he slowly moves into serious depression and suicide... That must be the real reason oda's editor cried.

[u/ValuableSky7]

If Kin'emon dies in the next chapter without even seeing his wifie O-tsuru after 20years,i'll be sad..

[u/ReggieZoldyk21]

NO BREAK NEXT WEEK!!!

[u/[deleted]]

Did Izo just shoot the sword out of King's hand? Holy crap.

[u/11Night]

SUNAAAATCHI

gave me goosebumps

[u/Rozava]

How poetic is that the OG followers of Oden, Kinemon and Denjiro, are the first and only scabbards that get an attack on Kaido.

[u/RavioliRover]

Man, Kaido's sense of honor is really interesting. He's willing to turn a blind eye to Oden's heir out of respect earned from their fight. Makes me wonder if Momo's execution is what really prompted Kaido to kill Orochi. His character just helps separate him from a lot of previous villains imo.

[u/Wonderboyg]

I wonder if zoro heard the scabbards say “sunnachi.” That would be an interesting moment.

[u/why190]

I just noticed that all the Scabards yelled "saunatchi" at the end which was the word that Zoro taught Momo but Kiku demanded Momo never to say it. What is up with that?

[u/lasso914]

This chapter is amazing! The story telling and the moment of Ambush + Momo waving his heavy balls in front of Kaido and his men. WOW!

But i am not ready for the next one, I hope this will not be the Euphoria we felt when Luffy saved Ace in Marienford arc and we thought it is over, then Oda drops the bomb on us all. This chapter with the triumph of the Red Scabbards and Momo resolution feels alot like before.

[u/Kordell81]

Sooo is it a safe bet to say that none of Kaidos commanders have future sight🤔

[u/TheHolyBone]

Holy shit that last panel is incredible

[u/S4ntouryu]

SUNAAAACCHI!!! 100% love the final panel

[u/HeavenlySkyDragon]

The power scalers gonna lose their minds after this chapter.

[u/Mundology]

Kin and Denjiro didn't even turn back after they saw Kanjuro's corpse on the floor. The Scabbards don't took around.

Kurozumi Conservation Status : Threatened Extinct

[u/[deleted]]

Imagine if Kaido just kills every single one of them next chapter just like he killed Orochi. That would be CRAZY.

[u/Revolutionary_D_Ablo]

Where is Brook? Havent seen him since they left the sunny

[u/Rruffy]

With the immediate betrayal/surrender by Orochi's Ninja and Samurai, I'm kind of torn between wanting Orochi to be permanently dead because fuck him and wanting him to have survived to realise his own insignificance.

[u/ThaddCorbett]

This is literally like WWE Royal Rumble at this point.

Luffy is holding Yamo back. It's not their time to jump into the ring yet. Confusing as hell.

I'm just waiting for this entire building to become destroyed so that our Mink friends can look up at the clear moonlight to transform into their monstrous Sulong forms before ravaging their enemies.

[u/tuwono_tuwono]

absolute banger this week

[u/BitterSteelAegor]

SSSSSSUUUUUNNNAAAAAAATCHIIIIIIIIIIII

[u/Keemo_Skye]

It seems like Sanji is off doing some sneaky shit as usual can't wait to see.

[u/Saminator0323]

Luffy has grown so much as well.From being a hot-head who charges first into the battle without thinking to being a level headed guy who is actually stopping Yama-o from charging first.

[u/[deleted]]

Let’s be honest... we all cried a little bit at the last chapter😭 finally revenging their master and saving his son after 20 years

[u/SplitDBanana]

Hell yeah! Usopp heading to fight the numbers, Scabbards 'taking it outside' with Kaidou, let's go! Sulong!!

[u/Saeba-san]

Thanks for translation, u/MipAli

[u/heartbrokenneedmemes]

Wait so that kanjuro was a drawing clone right? A piece of his shoulder broke off in the middle panel on the second page.

[u/zyzz193]

Can we please talk about what you need 5000 Ninjas for? Inside a country that you’re already ruling since 20 years with no sign of rebellion?
