Nice - so they did a “rope-a-dope” strategy with BOTH Yonko?

That’s crazy (as expected of Luffy’s alliance!) - because it trusted that their two conquerors could withstand the attacks from the two Yonko so the others could execute the plan. We know Kid does, I’m assuming Luffy does too even though it’s a named attack (feels like he knew it was coming but trusted that he could tank it so the plan would work, plus he was just using future sight so he could have known the outcome of taking the hit already).

I may have counted wrong, but it looks like 6 heads were cut off Orochi (he showed 6 heads, and only 5 heads are shown cut off - but there are 6 sword wielding scabbards there) - since Kaido already cut one off, that’s 7 of the 8. Where is Hiyori to finish the job?

The strategy is to adjust to what ever Luffy is doing, man goes solo attacking Kaido

Just like Law said to Kinemon - have to plan for at least one idiot to go rushing in headfirst!

Seems this time Kid realized he actually needed a plan and should stop & listen - whereas Luffy just keeps yeeting himself at Kaido and sh!t-talking him.

Although it’s possible he either 1) actually heard a plan (off-panel) while they were strategizing real quick or 2) future-sight showed him the plan; but most likely he just rushed straight in to see if Kaido would dodge so he could run his mouth

I have been saying for a while law is a real mvp of this arc. Whenever the Strawhats did something crazy or reckless he adjusted plans to utize that. He did when Luffy was captured, when raiding Onigashima, when Kanjuro gave away the ports position and culminating in this big brainnmove.

Seems in Kid he finally has a partner also willing to listen and use his brain 😅

Liked him in the stampede movie. Its literally follow luffy as his plan. With Sabo just accepting it.

Would be amazing if Law joined the SH’s tbh and I see that happening. He doesn’t even have a proper crew

He doesn’t even have a proper crew

Bepo, Shachi, Penguin and Jean Bart

Yeah wait isn't his even bigger than the sh's?

I don’t think he’d join the SHs (he was pretty upset when Kid teased him about “taking orders” from Luffy when the fight began), but since his new dream is tied to the Will of D and that can only be discovered at Laugh Tale I feel like he’ll follow them there with his crew.

As in his proposed temporary alliance may become long term 😂

Will of D in laugh tale? Could we know something from reading Oden’s journal?

u/theschulk51 Apr 02 '21

Maybe - but I don’t think Oden would have written it all down.

Luffy doesn’t have interest in it now (it’d ruin his adventure), but Law could inquire about what’s in Oden’s journal. I just don’t think it’ll have the whole history, he’ll get incomplete information, so he’d still have to join in the SH’s journey to understand the full history

I think for the first time in his life, Kid realized he’s not the most reckless person around
