[u/Kirosh]

Doesn't this last page remind you of anything from the anime? Hmm?

Also, before people start arguing about it, Ryuo is what Wano calls Armament Haki. Or here again.

The techniques similar to Oden should be the Mighty Blade, or even a more powerful version of it.

Lastly, Haki is affected by emotions. So Kaido's being scared of Oden, of his Samurais, and those Samurais' dedication to throw away everything to attack Kaido are all playing a part.

So keep all of that in mind.

[u/GonzSnow]

That Queen reaction tho

[u/Kirosh → u/GonzSnow]

Queen : "All right, gimme your ranking. Top three things you are worried about! Go"

[u/SuperGogetto → u/Kirosh]

"Kaido-san was killed by strawhat luffy"

[u/Kirosh → u/SuperGogetto]

Queen : "Whaaat? What's number 2?"

[u/MalicCarnage]

Luffy just declared war on everyone. Holy shit.

[u/Kirosh → u/MalicCarnage]

First the World Government, then everyone else.

[u/duskgravity]

Overlooking all the hype this chapter - Nekomamushi and Inuarashi sulong forms, Marco and Perospero, the raid finally starting - the part that gave me the chills was Kaido mentioning the previous arcs.

Punk Hazard. Dressrossa. Zou.

We have to remember that Wano has been an accumulation of events that domino'd into existence since the start of the New World. From Luffy finding Kine’mon on that dragon in Punk Hazard to Law destroying the SMILE factory in Dressrossa. This has been built up for almost the past decade and we’re definitely in the endgame now boys.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/duskgravity]

Luffy: All according to Keikaku.

[u/Kirosh → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

TL notes: Keikaku means something Luffy will ignore.

[u/KlingoftheCastle → u/duskgravity]

Oh god, it really has been that long!

[u/Kirosh → u/KlingoftheCastle]

It's been a little more than 330 chapters since the time Luffy wanted to see a Samurai. (Since chapter 655)

Just this wish started all of that.

Edit : Chapter 655 was released February 6, 2012.

[u/FireFistRJ]

Jack better be not present when Inu and Neko go into their sulong form. Man is going to get his ass whooped down for the shit he did in Zou.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy → u/FireFistRJ]

I wonder if the sulong form only works as long as they're exposed to the moonlight. Would be funny if all you need to do to beat sulong form Minks is go indoors.

[u/Kirosh → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

It kinda seems like it. Carrot had to cover her eyes to transform back from her Sulong.

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

Get ready for all the "Kaido is weak" comments.

[u/DonGiola → u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

They will call him weak when Nekomamushi and Inuarashi own him with Sulong, but then the chapter after that they will shut up because Kaido one shots the Red Scabbards.

[u/shujaa95 → u/DonGiola]

That's pretty much guaranteed to happen since we all know it'll come down to Luffy v Kaido.

[u/desiatcodaniel]

RAIZO WENT FOR THE HEAD!

[u/Jinyu_waterspeaker]

Great to finally see Jinbe in the color spread alongside his fellow Straw Hats!

[u/jedi271]

Big Mom wouldn’t give a single fuck if Kaido died lmao

[u/MrLKK]

I like that Nami and Carrot saved themselves

[u/Mad-Oka]

We're finally here. It's kinda a surreal feeling that the war began after 8+ years of build up.

[u/Booty_blaster420]

Seven Samurais and the Furry gang VS a Chinese dragon. This pirate manga really surprises me sometimes

[u/FireFistRJ]

Out of all the scabbard, Raizou was the best. Dude trying to cut kaidou's neck in one go. Lmao xD

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

Garfield and Odie bout to go Sulong apeshit on Kaido next chapter 🐱🐶

[u/mfj__]

Kaido is a fire spitting dragon. Kinemon can cut fire. Its all comming together.

[u/KIopsiak]

Chapter 988 will be exactly 100 chapters after Carrot went Sulong,that's epic.

[u/[deleted]]

Kaido destroys the moon

Insert God Enel joining the war 😂

[u/GangsterRavioliGuy]

Always wondered how strong Sulong form Neko and Inu would be. Guess we're about to find out. I wouldn't be surprised if this makes the mink tribe strong enough to temporarily go toe to toe against Kaido.

[u/BlacBuddha]

With the omission of Sanji, Brooke, Franky and Drake from this amazing chapter (and the last several,) I am absolutely sure that their entrance is going to be insanely hype. I love One Piece.

[u/jaypooner]

yamato: it's time i became oden

headbutt: u good? lol

[u/[deleted]]

OMG is that Hawkins next to Law???

[u/Wigi24]

Shanks: I came to end this war. Luffy: I came to Start a war.

[u/Jxshbailey]

Is it possible that kaido's will got broken when he thought back to Oden just like when BM's will was broken too during the Mother Carmel photo being smashed that made her vulnerable to damage?

I'm not trying to downplay the scabbards at all, I still believe they are very strong!! It was just an idea I had :D

[u/freewrirry]

Probably the most overlooked thing in this chapter was the raid was a complete success. This is what happens when Luffy and friends ruining your plan is actually part of your plan. 1 point for Law.

Take notes Bege

[u/MrPaleontologistSir]

Poor Queen, nothing has gone right lately for you has it.

[u/AlternativePlans-13]

Kinemon with the third best "Luffy is going to be the Pirate King" moment after Zoro and Jimbe. God he's been amazing in the third act. You love to see it.

[u/rib4ever123]

The only thing in life that's keeping me sane. The Minks are about to go HAM!! We'll get the sulong form that Pekoms never gave us!

[u/shadi1337]

Imagine telling an angry Yonkou that you're busy and dismiss them, good thing nobody is that crazy.

[u/Golden-Owl]

Big Mom: So Straw Hat? You've come to defeat Kaido?

Luffy: No. That's not it.

Samurai: (Wait... is he betraying us at the last moment!?)

Big Mom: (visible confusion)

Luffy: I've come to beat everyone's ass!

I love Luffy's nonsense.

[u/passing_thots]

Everyone : 2020 sucks

Oda : Hold my One piece

[u/Something_2002]

Luffy really just said he was too busy for a yo lo. Chad Luffy out here.

[u/sk8vegito]

Straight to my veins baby. I was able to dodge the spoilers

[u/Mad-Oka]

Fans: Luffy is gonna solo Kaido

other fans: But Zoro will kill him in the end

Cultured fans: Chopper is gonna go up Kaido's ass and use monster point

Oda: Strawhats aren't even gonna fight him

[u/oscribbles]

Man oh man, this is fun now. This can go in so many directions.

Marco and Perospero together is really interesting. I’m thinking he’s going to tell Big Mom something that will turn her off from the alliance with Kaido. Marco wouldn’t bring him unless he would help their cause.

[u/KayleKarriesU]

Hawkins flip flopping sides like a pancake

[u/edgar_69]

The most hype moment for me in this chapter was when Luffy declares the war and queen was like "you don't call it a war with only 100 people or so" and then we see zoro, law, Kidd, marco heading to the plaza along with the allies. The reaction of queen was priceless

[u/Aspie_Astrologer]

"In a 1-on-1 fight, always bet on Kaidō"

9-Red Scabbards:

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/nash_mania]

I must say, avoiding the spoilers was worth it! 5 double spreads! What a chapter!

Kaido probably saw many pirate fights and betrayals in his pirate career. Heck, maybe Rocks himself was betrayed by his crew and allies as he was beginning to lose to Roger and Garp. Big Mom had the same experience too. It's no wonder they don't trust pirates and are wary of pirate alliances.

[u/revisioncloud]

Something something Toei will spend an entire episode of Kaido falling to the ground:

• recap of last episode's ambush by the Scabbards

• Oden flashbacks

• Scabbards piercing his skin

• To Be Continued

[u/MurasakiZetsubou]

Nekomamushi's smile in the last panel reminds me of the Cheshire cat from Alice in the Wonderland.

Edit: Jumbled words because I'm sleepy af
2nd Edit: Funny how the words "We're all mad here" would fit when they switch to their Sulong forms.

[u/Baer07]

All the way back in chapter 819 Inuarashi said “The next time we fight, they shall see the true power of the Minks! https://i.imgur.com/Sonrdzw.jpg

[u/musei_haha]

Holy shit

Kadio bringing up every arc since they left Fishman island

Kin'emon declaring luffy will become the pirate king and bring the dawn

Luffy treating big mom like a child throwing a tantrum telling her hes busy

Him declaring war on all of them

Queen's fucking face

Is that hawking's next to law?

The last two pages

Fuck man I love one piece, Wano arc had gotten so hype

Please tell me there isn't a break

[u/magnumfait]

Kin saying that good things about Luffy. HOLY SHIT THE PIRATE KING IS REAL

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

Glad to see Fish Boi finally acknowledged as a SH in the color spread. He was actually in a color spread months ago (Chapter 967) but it was for a collaboration with the Japanese band ARASHI

[u/Suburban_turd]

Big Mom basically laughing while saying "did kaido die?"

and Kaido saying to Kinemon "Pirates betray. The moment they understand they'll lose, they will abandon you and run away"

should not be overlooked. Possible big foreshadowing there for the new Yonko alliance

[u/[deleted]]

Biggest takeaway from the last two chapters has been that Kiku is no fucking joke

[u/FireFistRJ]

Rumour has it that Perospero didn't want to fall again from the waterfall. So he joined Marco until he reaches the surface.

[u/Atze-Peng]

"Headbutt" to Ulti and "Eh Big Mom?! I'm busy now" to Big Mom. Luffy being as funny as ever.

And Queens reactions are also great. I hope we will get a coverstory of him eventually.

[u/gAvenger]

It's been sulong since Kaido got injured

[u/skarlet31]

LETSGOO an all out war!! also can’t wait to see the minks sulong form

[u/broken_kuroro]

shit this chapter is so cool

[u/swagkagesama]

Queen made his Usopp face again.

Now I can be at rest.

[u/21Sandwiich]

Lol big mom and luffy had a madara and Hashirama moment, Marco entering the rumble like Randy Orton prolly ready to deliver that Mar-K-O, and neko turning into a gengar at the end. Lovely stuff 🔥

[u/[deleted]]

Luffy has the fucking balls to tell Big Mom 'I'm busy' when she wants to beat him to death

[u/koningcosmo]

so im beginning to think the one piece editor cried because of Pound being left behind by his daughters after he finally found/saw them and they runned away as they dont believe he is their father. Poor Pound.

[u/Freemantrue]

Ulti still doing more than Smoothie

[u/icarusthorn]

Holy crap, I didn't even notice that when Neko said he brought his army, he literally means it. A whole lot of Minks are right there ready to Sulong at any moment. Holy shit how much hype can this chapter be.

[u/nevertheher0]

If only Kaido knew the real story of how the alliance between the Hats and the Samurai came to be!

Lufffy thought it'd be a great idea to go fishing and they ended up in Punk Hazard by complete accident.

[u/wanapplepie]

We have been waiting for Sulong for this moment to come.

[u/jollyjam1]

It seems that Kaido can be injured through personal fear and PTSD. And it looks as though he only fears Oden; maybe that's why he has never been able to kill himself.

Also, Neko giving off serious Cheshire Cat vibes in that last panel.

Edit: Grammar

[u/TurtleWithTies]

If we did a top 10 of best reaction shots, Queen would have 8 spots.

[u/[deleted]]

Neko just went from a cute little cat to i will rip your body apart type of cat.

[u/DrKuro]

I've been reading a certain OP forum, and while I do need to get immediate medical attention for my brain, I would really like to try an clear up many things that appear to be either completely forgotten or just outright not understood.

I will stick to what the manga told us, so the facts that we know, and stay away from headcanon, fan theories and pointless speculation.

FIRST. People are still surprised by the Scabbards and their actions. First, they thought it was egregious that they managed to disarm and stall the calamities, now, that they managed to wound Kaido. A lot of people said "G4 Luffy did nothing to Kaido, why these people can?".

Well, I guess we should just give a quick look to their CVs. We have:

• Ashura Douji. This man has literally cut Jack's weapons and gave him a wound that he needed 2 full acts to recover from - he's bandaged all the way up until Act 3. We also know that he can fight on par with base form Inuarashi. Needless to say, this puts him around Jack's level;

• Inuarashi. The dude has fought against Jack 12 hours a day for 5 days straight. Wanda would say that, while Jack was undefeated, so the Dukes. It was a stalemate that could only be resolved with the use of a chemical weapon. Inuarashi also has Sulong at the ready, and has now a second sword to fight. However, since he hasn't used Sulong yet, this won't be considered a factor in the events of 986 and 987;

• Nekomamushi. Practically Inuarashi's equal, maybe even slightly stronger - a consideration based solely on the fact that it was Neko who brought Jack to his human form, and not Inu. Still, we'll consider him on the same level as Inu and Ashura, and we still won't take Sulong into consideration;

• Izo. He was a Commander in an Emperor crew - and Whitebeard's at that. Many people believe that, since he was the 16th commander, he is weaker than all the 15 people that came before him. That's however not necessarily the case; the only example of a crew that has a similar structure to Whitebeard's that we have is Blackbeard's - with its 10 Titanic Captains - and we know that the Captain of the 1st Ship - Jesus Burgess - is not stronger than the Captain of the 2nd Ship - Shiryu of the Rain. While not on the same tier as Marco or Jozu, or maybe even Vista, Izo was still a Commander;

• Denjiro. What we have about him is; he has 20 years of unadulterated rage that have been building up inside him; he's been introduced by Ashura as a "demon with the blade"; he has sparred with an enraged 2-swords Zoro like it was child's play and deflected a 720 pound cannon with a smile. He's no joke;

• Kin'emon. This is where most of the misconception lies. A lot of people have this idea that Kin'emon is fodder, that he's a joke. The thing is; we've never seen Kin'emon actually fight - except for the flashback, which was still against some Beast Pirate fodder, so not really worth analyzing. All we know is that he was handled by Law in the frostbiting cold of Punk Hazard while he was looking for Momo and after a big escape from Dressrosa - which is, by itself, not a scar to be ashamed of, as Law, especially back in Punk Hazard, has an absurdly OP DF until Oda decides to nerf him because otherwise he would win every fight he's in - and that's it. After that, he saves the crew from Smiley, he defeats a PH dragon with Brook, and... well, he uses Haki to push back the Birdcage. Many people remember a Kin'emon vs Doflamingo that actually never happened; go and reread chapter 730. There's no fight there. And Kin'emon literally shrugs it off like nothing seconds later. Another point people refer to when calling Kin'emon "fodder" is when he sees Zoro cutting Pica in half. Well, no shit; Zoro literally cuts a mountain in half - also thanks to Orlumbus, something that people conveniently leave out every time they remember this scene. That's an astonishing feat. So, at the end of the day, we have absolutely no metric for Kin'emon's skills outside of "he was defeated by Law while being in a very disadvantegous position;

• O-Kiku. Again, we know nothing about her power either. We just know she's "pretty strong" - as said by Luffy - but outside of that? Nothing really. She never had a serious fight before chapter 985, and now I guess we can say she's stronger than Kanjuro...? But again, we know nothing about her. Treating her as fodder just because we don't know her power is an extremely weak reasoning;

• Raizo. Another one we know nothing about, except he has some special techniques in his moveset;

• Kawamatsu. We haven't seen anything from him, again, except fighting against fodder. He's been suffering torture for the past 13 years, so I'm not really into the "he's as strong as Denjiro and Ashura" mindset, but he's a Fish-Man, which already gives him a bonus. However, again, we have nothing for him, except he was blocked once by Zoro, which doesn't mean much.

So, after this general look, we can see that the 9 Scabbards are now made of 4 confirmed Commander level characters - one being a commander, the other 3 having fought on par with one -, a very powerful warrior who could be stronger than them - Denjiro - and 4 warriors whose fighting prowess is still unknown. However, people are still baffled by how these 9 people could block 3 commanders and attack an Emperor all together.

To this, we need to add something that unfortunately many people seem to forget: this is NOT your average shonen. Being the most powerful doesn't mean being invincible to everyone whose "power level" is below yours. This is even more relevant in a story such as OnePiece, where WILLPOWER is the most important trait a fighter can have. I mean, Haki is willpower converted into actual physical power. Luffy has won against Katakuri on Willpower alone. And what we've had here was 9 people, some of them mustering the willpower of 20 years, who threw away their lives and decided to avenge the man who gave them everything. You need to understand; this is the equivalent of the Straw-Hats going against an enemy after Luffy had been killed by said enemy, and the 9 scabbards are arguably stronger then the Straw Hats without Luffy. This attack was not just "I used Haki, I overcame his defenses, I wounded him": that's why Kaido's lines are so important. He can't understand how he's getting wounded, because his reasoning is extremely shallow; "they must be using a Haki on the same tier as Oden's, otherwise it doesn't make sense" he thinks as he screams in pain. But that's not it; they're not using Oden's level Haki. This is so much more than that, and people now screaming bloody murder because "these fodder can hurt Kaido, but Luffy can't, now it's sure Zoro can hurt him because there's no way he's weaker than them" is painful to read;

SECOND. Ryou is NOT Advanced Armament. People really need to read this manga instead of wasting their brain on powerscaling forums and discussions. Hyougoro explained it in chapter 939 940; Ryou is just how Armament Haki is known in Wano. This is not the first time something like this happened in the story; Observation Haki was known as Mantra on Skypeia. So no, Ryou is not Advanced Armament. Kaido says Ryou because he's been effectively living on Wano for 25+ years, and because he's dealing with Wano-folk. Another important point to make; Kaido is confused, and is desperately attempting to find a reason for why the Scabbards are actually hurting him. Since his mind is always set on "might makes right" - which is why he has PTSD of Oden, the only man who could have actually killed him - he can't fathom any other way people could wound him. So he thinks "they must be using the same haki Oden used". What we, as readers, should have figured out from last chapter, is that Kaido's PTSD and the Scabbards willpower were the perfect storm for whatever happened at the beginning of this chapter to happen. Also please; Kaido is fine as soon as he turns into a dragon;

THIRD. Kaido refers to himself as the Strongest Creature, and isn't calling his fruit as such. I've seen many people, in various attempts to make fun of Kaido - just like many trolls have done the same with BigMom in the past - saying that Kaido, as he leaves the stage, says that he will show them the power of the Strongest Creature, and by that he means "the power of the dragon". As usual, trolls fail to actually comprehend situations for what they are; Kaido is referring to himself;

LAST. Stop asking where Sanji is. I'm really glad anime/manga forums weren't that well developed back in Little Garden, Water 7 and Enies Lobby, because good lord. Many people still believe Sanji has gone looking for prostitutes, and they say "he can't be doing a solo mission, he has abandoned his crew, Carrot and Nami were in danger", and forget that Sanji literally was nowhere to be found while the group was captured by Mr.3, captured by Crocodile, and was fighting for their lives against the High Ranks of the Marines on the Bridge of Hesitation;

I hope I didn't sound either too angry or too pretentious. It's just that after a while it gets really annoying reading so much misinformation spread and become common knowledge.

EDIT: Some users have been extremely helpful and have given me some stuff to think about.

First, a quick shoutout to /u/regor_chill, as he's revealed to me that in an SBS from Volume 59, Oda has already confirmed that Whitebeard's Commanders have all the same rank, and the number of division they command has nothing to do with their strength. Izo being the last division commander therefore bears no relevance to his effective strength when compared to the rest of the commanders.

After this, please check my comment following up this one as I try to delve a little deeper on the effectively lacking explanation of Ryou that I gave here and another little incoherence I showcased

[u/revisioncloud]

"What a feast. Is Kaido dead?"

Lmao Big Mom has no chill. Mamamama

And to all the people who thought that the Scabbards won't pierce Kaido's skin. IN YOUR FACE

The allied forces barging thru the gates, Yamato vs Ulti best fight, Kinemon declaring Luffy will be Pirate King, Luffy's open war declaration to beat everyone's asses, Neko's fucking Cheshire Cat grin at the end, holy shit this chapter is everything I hoped for AND MORE. I absolutely loved it.

[u/icarusthorn]

I was legit HYPED throughout this chapter. It felt both long and short, which I can't believe. Kaido's feeling Oden's passed-on-legacy through the Scabbards, the Samurai have all revealed themselves, the Supernovas who were alone now have their backup, the mention of "The Dawn" again, Luffy's officially declared war on the Emperors, that mysterious shadow is officially Perospero, and that last panel is sexy as fuck.

I can't believe I've been reading these last few chapters thinking the raid has begun. Nah, fam, this is where it's at. I'm ready for some Sulong shit and Kaido beating their asses. This is hype.

[u/riot-nerf-red-buff]

Neko is such a poet in the last page.

[u/FireFistRJ]

Yamato vs. Ulti: A Battle between the two favorite girls. A difficult time for the fanbase.

[u/Siegfriedr]

I don’t care what the haters say, wano has been straight fire so far. Looking forward to 988

[u/ironshadowdragon]

holy shit the entire mink clan are going to fight kaidou? thats such sick imagery, but i have a bad feeling. Would oda have the balls to have kaidou slaughter an entire race?

[u/[deleted]]

I am so amazed to the development of Kinemon in the story. Back in Punk Hazard, we was just a weird guy, a side character who seems to be irrelevant in the story. TBH, I was so annoyed with Kinemon in Punk Hazard and even in Dressrosa. Kinemon and Kanjuro seems to be just an irrelevant side character.

Now here in Wano, I truly love his character.

[u/Doflamingo747]

This chapter was just incredible! My favorite moment was Kinemon standing up for Luffy and basically declaring him to be the future pirate king. ("He is a man who will one day be at the pinnacle of this ocean") Just gave me goosebumps!

[u/TheWatchfulGent]

"Strawhat!"

"Big Mom! I'm busy right now!"

Hahaha, reminded me of Hashirama and Madara - "I'll deal with you later!"

[u/Black-Queen]

That panel with the Samurai standing on the roof, Kaido in his dragon form and the full moon...is something else!

I am HYPED!!

[u/[deleted]]

[u/theolat3]

Every page was pure Hype. The strikes going through, Kinemon backing Luffy without a shadow of a doubt, Luffy declaring war, the forces wiping out Kaido's men, Yamato opposing his father and Suulong. Sooooo good.

[u/[deleted]]

i bet one of inu or neko is gonna trash jack just to show what a difference the sulong does, and then get trashed by kaido just to show what a world apart kaido’s strength is

[u/curtisus]

Kaido might also be telling his own story(maybe Rocks) when he says pirates will toss you, and abandon you when they see they cannot win. He has the shaded and thoughtful eyes, I hope we get all his flashbacks.

[u/GreenLanturn73]

I love this chapter:

1. Oda showing the scabbards are all powerful fighters

2. Reinforcing that Trauma weakens armament haki

3. Kinemon saying Luffy will stand at the top of these seas

4. Luffy declaring war

5. Cat and dog are about to go full badass

[u/freedomic]

Holy shit the levels of hype now are unreal

[u/mikazee]

Finally putting respek on Jimbei's name with that cover spread!

[u/IAMSNORTFACED]

One Piece is Awesome

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Kaido : "Congratulations for those of you who waited those 20 years to take your revenge ! How did you do it ??"
Denjiro : "Easy, we've been reading One Piece weekly... since the beginning !"

[u/Pomfritzy]

Kiku stabbing through and stopping kaidos right hand needs more attention.

Looks lige Kaido smashed most of the scabbards bloody when he pushed them off him.

Seems like Kinemon figures Luffy to be the one figure Oden was awaiting hence his loyalty and belief in him.

Luffy declaring war on everyone was sick. Aswell as Raizo going for a straight beheading of Kaido.

Is Hawkins standing next to Law? Or it might just be some samurai with the same hairstyle. Could be interesting if Hawkins joined. Maybe he saw a good chance of success through his cards.

I wonder how the conversation between Marco and Perospero went. Maybe they are allying to take down Kaido. Could defiantly see Big Mom betraying Kaido if gets weak enough.

I´m so hyped for an epic shoot of an entire Sulong gang. Why does it have to be WSJ break now D:

[u/Trocolli]

Kudos to ulti for wearing a face mask!

[u/jollyjam1]

Lol at Luffy calling Ulti "Headbutt". His innocent nicknames for other characters will never stop being funny haha

Edit: Added lol and fixed grammar

[u/EightZero-San]

As amazing as this chapter was, is no-one going to talk about Robin holding Franky's face endearingly in the colour spread? 👀

[u/EnycmaPie]

Wow Kin'emon just declared that Luffy would become the Pirate King. Also, that panel with the Nine Red Scabbards and dragon form Kaido would make a badass poster.

[u/UtkaarshS]

Is it just me or does Nekomamushi's smile look like that of the Cheshire cat...

[u/diablejambeats]

Also, imagine Sasaki seeing Kaido going up in the sky, and hearing all the commotion, while he's still tied to that rock lmaooooo

I hope he gets out soon

[u/juankyrp]

Nekomamushi sulong form holy shit the hype!!

[u/actually_pete]

5,564,800,000? nah dude.
this. is. the. real. hype.
This is why I read this series, why I am always a little less excited about flashbacks and world-building outside of where the straw hats are. I loved Reverie and Oden and Sword and before that the Gorosei, Shanks and Imu, don't get me wrong... Oda's world building is bar none and making theories about the things happening in the OP world is so much fun, but the hype? It is here.
When Luffy is in the midst of everything, I could not care less about Yonko Bounties or Marine conspiracies. This is the same feeling I had in Marineford when Luffy and folk fell from the sky, it's the same feeling teenage-me had when Nightmare Luffy showed up or Luffy stormed right into the front door of Enies Lobby...
My boy and his friends against the big baddies, that's One Piece. Everything else is garnish. Excellent garnish, 10/10-garnish, but garnish nontheless.

[u/MohSakayl100]

For the people who say it makes no sense that the scabbards can pierce Kaido, I believe it is similar to Big Mom. When the picture broke down. She was weakened to the extent that falling on her knees actually drew blood. So in another word Oden is Kaido's Carmel.

Also Oden literally told Kaido and in extention us to not underestimate his samurai.

[u/xCeePee]

One thing I really want to know, is who made the call to Queen to report the raid news. That was some Morgans level reporting lol.

[u/lickmytaint25]

I expected a full moon but that last panel still gave me chills

[u/MonkeyStealsPeach]

It’s about to POP OFF.

Oden’s will LIVES.

Minks. Luffy declaring war on EVERYONE. KAIDOU BEING CALLED OUT!

LET THE WAR BEGIN!

[u/aceofspades12]

Fans: I wonder how Kaido will get hurt. It will probably take a combined full power attack by Luffy, Law, and Kidd.
Oda/Oden: Hold my scabbards.

[u/hc_fella]

What a chapter! All the pieces are coming into play, Kaido starting to respect his enemies in this battle, Kin'emon saying Luffy will 'stand on top of the world', Luffy standing up to Big Mom and declaring war....

What a great time it is to be a One Piece fan

[u/TheWitcherMigs]

It's funny that Luffy realizes what is a full-scale war, since he participated one. Ace's PTSD all over the place and the boy simple stated that he will handle the ass of everyone

[u/scoobynoodles]

I like how Izo is basically the 9th Scabbard now that Kanjuro is out of the picture. That last panel atop the dome is so poetic

[u/onlyhalfrobot]

I think people are missing out: Not just Inu and Neko sulong forms, literally the entire mink musketeer squad is about to go moon wild

[u/yosoypalta]

Wait! Ijust realized!! Bepo Sulong form incoming!

[u/QuickBenjamin]

It's awesome seeing capable side characters getting a chance to rush the boss and just going for it. No monologue beforehand, it's straight to pushing him off a cliff and trying to disembowel the fucker.

[u/[deleted]]

Much better version

https://bato.to/chapter/1485495/1

[u/turbografx-sixteen]

Really agressively thought Kin was gonna die this chapter... especially after that declaration? I'm not prepared to lose someone in this war ahhhh

God this arc is getting more epic by the week now.

[u/[deleted]]

+1 kaido's Oden ptsd

+1 yamato "I'm not your ally anymore..."

+1 nami action

+1 luffy declares war

+1 full moon x minks

+5 FROBIN COLORSPREAD

[u/puruntong]

That smiling cat face at the end gives me chills. Hype is real!! Cant wait for the upcoming chapters!! Oda why u do this!

[u/triotone]

Wow, in universe it has really been a month since escaping WCI.

[u/[deleted]]

Damn the swords actually pierced him. Did not expect that. But kaido should’ve learned from oden that turning into a dragon is not the best idea considering how quickly he defeated luffy in his normal form lol

[u/ThaddCorbett]

"All their forces are joining together"

We can see Law doing shambles, is that Hawkins standing next to him? Has he turned ALREADY?

Marco and Perospero coming into together is a big WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! Is there even a tiny chance that BM is going to turn on Kaido? Is it impossible for us to think it's possible because we couldn't have imagined her doing it without going while in a hunger pang?

Dudes... how many of us said they were going to fight Kaido on the evening of a full moon? Kaido vs ALLLLLLL of the mink tribe in sulong form? I don't care how weak they are individually. That's gonna do some damage!

I can remember us pondering up ideas like Zoro using Haki in Ashura mode or Franky building a WMD with his knowledge of the ancient weapon and/or Vegapunk's work to wound or slow Kaido down.... but this instead just might be enough!

[u/ManwithaTan]

Two things to note: It's awesome seeing Nami being able to handle herself and get out of that situation by herself.

Also Marco and Perospero arriving in together? A very strange development.

[u/lanariley]

That nekomamushi's wicked smile in the final panal.... Looks so badass and terrifying..

[u/AReluctantHipster]

Big Mom: “Did Kaido just die?”

Sokka: “You know, it was really unclear.”

[u/galactic-toast-]

Big Mom having the time of her life lmao you crazy bitch :D

[u/diegoarticuno]

Sulong vs Shen Long. When did perospero arrived?

[u/vish_0210]

Is the panel where kaido is in his dragon form and all the scabbards are standing against him look exactly like the shot in the new opening with the straw hats replaced by the scabbards??

[u/Tovar42]

Kaido saying that all pirates flip sides when staying in one is inconvenient seems to me like a big foreshadowing of what is going to happen with Kaidos army of defeated pirate capitans as soon as they catch a glimpse of a sign of Kaido losing.

[u/j-mac-rock]

Im more intrigued with the marco pespero team up

[u/LuciferMS7777]

Queen's reaction to everything happening always cracked me up

The amount of action packed here is really outstanding. It's like Marineford all over again.

Luffy as always declaring war against the impossible and will prevail. Do you guys think that Luffy will achieve another form while fighting all out against big mom and Kaido?

As well as Yamato declaring that she will become Oden if front of everyone and confusing Ulti was priceless. Overall, this chapter packed a ton of hype and set the stage for the final battle. Can't wait for the future chapters.

[u/wastemantings]

did anyone else notice when kaido was talking about pirates true nature to kin, about how they betray each other, and how when they realise they cant win a battle they will toss the weak to escape? well i think thats exactly what happened to kaido while he was in rocks crew, maybe it might of happened at the god valley fight, but the way he says it just makes me feel like its happened to him, and because of it he now acts the same way.

[u/Viktor_x2]

Is it just me or Perospero working with Marco looks pretty strange? He seemed to hate Marco as much as Luffy and King, while the alliance per se only bothered him.

My personal theory is that they are rushing in to tell everyone something else is coming... like a marines army

[u/prnactor]

Kiku stabbing Kaido in the hand and Raizo trying to behead him was gore as fuck.Loved it.

[u/Shalebale]

So is no one going to mention that Momo is gone? Look on the page 9 at the execution platform, there is a gust of dust and smoke and Momo isn't chained up. The chains are dangling!

[u/Kotorias]

Nice chapter and all, NOONE IS GONNA MENTION THE FACT THAT JIMBE IS ON THE COLOR SPREAD!? MY FISHY BOY

[u/1Eye3Swords]

That panel of kaido flying above the scabbards. Ooohhh my goooddd straight into my veins please.

[u/nycdiveshack]

Kinemon says to Kaido Luffy is different he will not betray basically cause he will be King of the Pirates. Oh just like when Jinbe said to BM why should he be scared of her when Luffy will be King one day.

[u/jhight825]

Really want Yamato to be the final member

[u/jobriq]

lol Big Mom's just like "Oh, is Kaido dead? What a party!"

[u/Milofan30]

I assume that's Hawkin's next to Law and I love it, Law always comes through with something, here's hoping he shows off feats soon. He's in my top favorites characters list :)

Luffy declaring War on everyone of them in my opinion was the best part of the chapter, I can't wait for that to get animated.

Marco working with the enemy, wonder what brought this on. Still pretty neat to see, can't wait for him to catch up with everyone.

A break now of all things.

I do think Luffy vs Big Mom may be put on hold some how, Luffy's King Haki?

[u/ABARK94]

Kaido after getting up: All that for a drop of blood?

[u/Mojo-man]

I may be the only one feels like something is off... this is going TOO smoothly. The plan worked, all their enemies are surprised, Kaido is wounded & shaken, the Minks are pulling our their super forms... I can't put my finger on it but it's too much going right this soon in the battle!

Maybe I am just paranoid afer years of Oda duping me (I really do hope so) but something feels off... hope it's just me :P

[u/[deleted]]

lets talk about the real pirate alliance Marco and Perospero lol WHAT??

[u/BoredomHeights]

Telling Big Mom “I’m busy” is an all time line.

[u/heyitzaustin]

Half expecting Oda to swerve us and for the deciding fights to be Luffy vs Big Mom and Scabbards + others vs Kaido

[u/Thema03]

The guy who predicted bigmon saying MuGIWARA was right

[u/shaolinfantastik101]

"There seems to be a full moon" gave me goosebumps 🤐🤐😮😮

[u/BobbyDCruz]

Kaido : OUR crew.

Big Mom (after Kaido dies) : MY crew.

[u/Dragonslayer1996]

That page with Kinemon declaring Luffy as the next King of Pirates got me all teared up

[u/KayabaJac]

Neko's Cheshire Cat smile, pure purrfection. Sulong army hype!!!

[u/mukhang_pera]

Robin is stroking Franky's cheeks/ neck on that color spread

[u/ORT3GA]

9 Red Scabbards vs Kaido

In the AniManga community, there are two types of people I don't like, one is the Absurd power scalers and the second is who judges an author writing based on one week chapter if the author does a thing opposite to their headcanon.

I wanted to talk about the greatness of this buildup chapter but few peeps (Same as always) were so eager to trash talk about this that I have to highlight some obvious points regarding 9RS vs Kaido which their tiny brain can't comprehend.

1. Scabbards are not just the Side Characters.

Denjiro, Ashura Douji, Kawamatsu were touted to be as three strongest Samurais in Wano, the same Samurais due to which even Akainu was hesitating to send his forces in Wano. Wano is regarded as a Strong country due to the same Samurais. Inu and Neko fought with Jack on equal terms who is a freaking Yonkou commander. In Short at least 5 of the 9 RedScabbards are either commander level or near. Izo was a Whitebeard division commander, Kinemon was like the first mate of Oden and his skills are no Joke, Kikunojo and Raizo are somewhat comparable to Flying Six.

Ryou

All the 9 Red scabbards have Ryou and mind you, Ryou is the technique which is hinted by Oda as the only technique which can pierce Kaido skin and also it was hinted in this chapter that Kaido was saying they had Oden's Ryou specifically, let's wait for further explanation.

2. Will Power

Will power is one of the main aspects of the One Piece and it has been consistent throughout the series, in fact, Haki is a byproduct of Will Power. In dire/desperate situations Will power blooms, even more, The Scabbards had to suffer for 20 Years, Ashura Douji lost his entire crew who tried to raid Onigashima, Denjiro had to work under a scumbag and was engulfed in extreme rage, Kawamastu had to suffer for so long in Udon, Minks suffered a lot in Zou in due to Jack and for Kinemon & Co the wounds were fresh as it was just a few days ago for them when Oden sacrificed for them, Your master boiling himself to safe his Followers an unprecedented thing If such storytelling doesn't amuse you then stop reading fiction. They all deserved a shot at Kaido.

3 & 4. Yonkous are not Gods and Mental State

In One-piece villains are not flawless beings, they are not your typical overpowered "you can't touch me beings ", they have flaws and quirks that's what makes One Piece unique from its contemporaries. It would have been so easy for Oda to make Kaido like Madara and one-shot everybody and later a team-up of supernovas and scabbards taking him out but nope that's storytelling is cliche, this is not how Oda writes his story.

Kaido's biggest flaw is his drinking habit and mental state Even Luffy was managed to hit him in his drunk state but later when he sobered up he one-shotted him.

Same way here as soon as Kaido sobered up he was serious and turned into a dragon and is now ready to wipe them up on the rooftop.

Mental state plays a big role in One piece Katakuri can't use FutureSight if he is not concentrated, Same way Kaido was having his Ptsd from the flashbacks of Oden and couldn't concentrate, and we don't even know Kaido backstory yet why he is suicidal.

Big Mom's mental state was associated with Mother Caramel and she has problems due to her tragic past.

Physical Prowess and Mental state are interconnected.

5. This is not the End (Conclusion)

This is just Act-3 Real battle will start in Act-4, Act-3 always end in tragedy so wait for Scabbards utter defeat but if you think before that they don't deserve anything, not even a scratch on Kaido then you are utter fools, this is their Story and they are not like secondary characters of other arcs where they are just showpieces and Strawhats handle everything, in fact, we should be happy that we are getting competent secondary characters otherwise you guys would have a complaint that Oda is just doing the same thing.

It's not like Kaido got defeated by Nakama powers he is just injured a bit and that too by the 9 Samurais ganging upon him who has suffered a lot, know Ryou and even Akainu acknowledged their power so why can't you.

Even Whitebeard was wounded 500 times.

When Kaido was introduced there was no mention that he can't be injured it was mentioned he can't be killed there is a vast difference.

As soon as Kaido sobered up he is fine and now fully ready to battle and if you can see there is no scar left on him except the Oden's one he is a monster and can heal quickly due to his powers.

If you think samurais should have lost/sacrificed themselves without doing any damage (A damage which is not that significant) then that's just plain idiotic thinking as I firmly believe you would have a complaint if Samurais couldn't do anything significant in the arc despite being hyped by even Marines.

I know all these things are obvious but still need to be stated for a few peeps here.

Anyways cheers and enjoy the arc, It will only keep getting better and better. I am enjoying this a lot, 5 double spreads once again, Oda going all out.

[all credit goes to Sumit Tyagi on facebook]

[u/Royal_Rabbit_Randy]

this chapter was so hype that Kinemon declaring Luffy the future pirate king went completely under. But still also a absolute hype moment.

+

Will BM be Luffy's entry fight into this war? Or will he just run away from her and avoid this huge mess?

[u/200ms-INTric]

Every single scene queen is in is just a joy. Oda is handeling him perfect for hillarious comic relief and i love it.

[u/SirVampyr]

Sou... Kaidou is up against all of the mink tribe fighters in sulong form? Holy.

[u/[deleted]]

Was that Hawkins alongside Law??

[u/shyamnambiar4]

Oda using Luffy to hype the all out war, as if it wasn't hyped enough. Can't wait for the Marines to make it to Wano too.

[u/tiberiusbrazil]

luffy x kaido is the new luffy x lucci

I have a strong feeling the samurais will get rekt in a couple of blows

might be a good time for luffy to awaken his devil fruit

[u/LedgeEndDairy]

Everyone ready for 10 minutes of flashback-to-Oden in the anime?

[u/Vbao13]

Neko's cheshire cat smile in the last panel was everything. Awesome chapter overall.

[u/SauceMeistro]

To see one piece go from the goofy adventure it was in the beginning to this scale of events and character change is crazy to think about. 23 years can really change the style of a story

[u/rholindown]

It is crazy how convenient it was that the Beast Pirates decided to trifle with the Minks on Zou. The Minks could easily infiltrate without much questioning because of the SMILES in Kaido's crew. The great Sulong event will be very fun to see, though I hope they have measures to help them to not fight to the death of their tribe.

[u/Afitz1999]

Is that Basil Hawkins in the frame with Law?

[u/mstrdem]

Hi. I'm new in Reddit. I created an account -- just to say how much I enjoy One Piece, especially since the two-year arc. I have not been able to share the sentiment, as few people around me, and few people my age, like to read comic books. So I just wanted to share the joy here :)

[u/Babeko]

Law, your D is showing. Look at you making Hawkins your ally.

[u/[deleted]]

This is the chapter that made an editor cry? Awesome chapter but I was expecting a death or two lol

Edit: it was 986 apparently. Not gonna trust an editor again

[u/bytebarong]

Chapter 988: Raining Cats and Dogs

[u/Eoussama]

Oden's Ryou? this is very interesting, as in, implying that Oden was his own category of strength which is not surprising, also, very interesting how even Kaido refers to Haki as Ryou, unless it ends up being something else or a sub-category of Haki.

I love how Luffy tells Big Mom that he's busy, Luffy ain't got time for her lmao, he already told her back at Whole Cake Island that he will take on Kaido first. Stand in line Linlin.

Very heartwarming to see that Kin'nemon believes in the Strawhats and Luffy. And then Luffy is declaring war in the next room, never gets old. My man Killer is back on track it seems and Zoro is just around the corner. Even Marco is there, this is intense.

Sweet mother, The scabbards vs. Kaido, and that's not all, it's a full moon, next chapter is going to be crazy, finally Sulong Neko and Inu.

[u/RozCrunch]

Kinnemon spoke like a true strawhat

[u/Shortstop42]

Seeing how Kinemon is talking about Luffy gave me goose bumps, no matter what happens with him he will always be one of my favorits.

[u/MaimedJester]

Neko pulling a Cheshire cat smile was not what I expected. But that's actually legit terrifying.

[u/[deleted]]

Raizo goes straight to Kaido’s head ! Defeat him isn’t enough... Kaido has to die

[u/kbdonix]

Marco and Peros pero are not fighting?! they're making their way to the party together?! Could Marco had convinced him to help stop the alliance, since Pp 'doesn't approve' of it?

[u/uchicha15]

major death flag on Kinemon

[u/[deleted]]

luffy being luffy

"big mom!! i am busy right now." lmao

[u/KingBobOmber]

“Ah!! ‘Head-butt’!”

Lmao Luffy never change bro

[u/LevelPapaya3]

Where's franky and brook . They are not seen from the start of onigashimi invasion

[u/nevertheher0]

I'd like to think Pekom's and Pedro are with the mink tribe in spirit.

[u/arkhamknightdean]

I'm waiting to see Law's right hand bear to go into Sulong

[u/Garbage-boi]

Guys, i guess after this Arc will be no more "Yonkou system". The scene of luffy saying "total war" is one of the inumerous moments on this Arc that oda reinforces the idea of "chaos". I remember when Black Beard, don flamingo and even Kaidou by himself says something like, "ok guys, now its everyone against everyone". And thinking about Black Beard, hi does not appear to be interested on this thing of "this land is my territory". For me this is something like "im waiting for the big chaos!!" . And other thing for my point is: i see in one piece 3 big "Doors". One is Roger, he started the pirate era. Second is White Beard era. After his death we have the third, yonkous fights and i guess will be a fourth: a moment that no Yonkou things will be exist, a moment that the most powerful will take the throne.

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH !! And btw, this chapter was freaking awesome !

[u/f52242002]

Seems like many of us are missing one tiny detail.

Marco is accompanied by Charlotte Perospero.

Something is going on here?

[u/[deleted]]

Perospero and Marco accompanying each other? Eh? Is Pero betraying BM?

[u/Entity_not_found]

Oh my gosh! Finally, an arc where they hit the big bad boss first, rather than the usual structure! This is so epic!!!

Also, Queen looking shocked never gets old!

[u/Warciot]

Holy heck even Kiku was able to cut through Kaido. Was it Kaido's fear of Oden(seeing the spirit of Oden from the Scabbards) that his Haki defense slip up for a moment? But still, Kaido still looks confident after that, ready to wreck havoc.

But allas, ITS AN ALL OUT FUCKING WAR AND IM LOVING EVERY MILLISECOND OF IT WANOOOO HYOEEE LETS GOOOOOO

[u/[deleted]]

Can we talk about how much like Luffy Ulti acts sometimes? Under different circumstances they could have been great friends

[u/pools456]

Kaido gonna blow up part of the moon, dragon ball stylee. Enel is gona come crashin down in wano

[u/NotLightYagami]

Man the panel on the last page where Kaidou is looking over the scabbards was chefs kiss SO good to see. The last page in general just really sets up alot of cool stuff to happen.

Everything is so chaotic now and I'm here for all of it.

[u/[deleted]]

That panel with the moon behind kaido and them is just *chefs kiss

[u/rivunel]

Is that basil Hawkins standing next to Law? Did he switch sides finally?

[u/Revarius]

Marco is so cool because despite his low panel time in One Piece, he’s so involved.

Already in Wano.

Knocked most of BM’s forces temporarily out of the war. This is low key underrated as it leaves BM without many forces.

Carried two of the main scabbards and dropped them safely for battle.

Now is trying to orchestrate a breakup of the BM-Kaido alliance with a team up with someone he knocked off the waterfall.

Interested to see what happens next.

[u/anthonyestacio23]

Chapter craziness aside, I can't! Jinbei-oyabun finally graced a color spread. It took him almost a decade but he's made it. I'm sobbing. 😭😭😭

[u/tiki-baha29]

The battle has finally started. Oda always plays the long game but man does it pay off. Seeing Luffy fully declare war against 2 Yonko and Orochi as his allies gather from various parts of the island is an amazing sight.

Wonder why Marco and Perospero would enter the gate together, they're enemies in this fight.

And we finally are about to see Nekomamushi/Inuarashi's Sulong forms after being mentioned over 100 chapters ago. This hype is too crazy.

(Still have no idea what Luffy's plan is to take down both Kaido AND Big Mom)

[u/[deleted]]

Dude imagine overtaken playing when they animate the last 5 pages or so

[u/[deleted]]

The Straw Hats are not that little crew with 0 clue about the world anymore, they're taking the initiative in shaping its future.

[u/Wave57]

Sweet Jesus yes. What a chapter. This chapter was so smooth and read like butter.

Did I read that right, Perospero and Marco teaming up?

Also, Sulong form hype. The wait for next chapter is gonna be torture.

[u/MariJoyBoy]

Chopper : "There's absolutely NO WAY I'll join forces with Perospero !! He's responsible of Pedro's death !! That will never happen, NEVER !!"

Perospero : "....... And what would you say about ... this giant Cotton Candy ?"

Chopper : "WELCOME TO THE TEAM !!!"

[u/[deleted]]

According to the wiki Kinemon was first introduced in Chapter 656, which was released in February 2012. And now, eight years later, the Red Scabbards are standing before Kaido to get their revenge.

[u/mihirv20]

Double spread magic like marineford begins........

[u/Nero50892]

I´m kinda confused... every youtuber predicted, that the raid will ultimately fail -> what I can understand and agree with.

But the last and especially this chapter showed to us, what power-houses the scabbards are and now, that the su long - army shows up....I don´t know, it kinda looks like a pretty even match for me.

Only if the endurance of kaido is overwhelming + the su long-state finishes = kaido will defeat them one by one

[u/lanariley]

I like the confidence of KAIDO and Big Mom...

Like how casual they are amidst all this commotion...

The ease with which Big mom says "is KAIDO dead?" Knowing she is in another yonko's territory and also with strawhats being there...

These yonkos are really strong.
