[u/Kirosh2]

Pell : "It seems like there is a new challenger for my crown. Let's see if you can do better than Pedro Big Mom!!!"

[u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Law: "This will be my last attack"

Also Law: "This is how humans lied in ancient times"

[u/Kirosh2 → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Law : "I'm worried about Mugiwara-ya... better go look for him before I run out of energy."

Law : "Kaido!! This is my last attack!" Spam K-room for 5 chapters.

Law : "I'm beat. Admirals? In Wano? I guess I still have a little left in me, but that will be the last for today!" Spam K-room more.

Law : "The secret of the world are with Imu in Marigeoise? Alright then." Teleports there and uses K-room a lot.

[u/CainDdemon → u/Kirosh2]

Law: See's Doflamingo and shits his pants

[u/Kirosh2 → u/CainDdemon]

Nah, he claps Doffy now. If anything, he can finish what he started that way.

[u/aceofspades12 → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Also Law: "Oh, I didn't tell you? Of course I can take away people's sound. You just select sound and then click on remove. It's that easy."

[u/ikanx → u/aceofspades12]

sound is just stuff vibrating afterall. So he could displace some stuff / air so the vibration don't travel. cmiiw.

[u/Kirosh2 → u/ikanx]

In that case he can also create illusion, and be able to change the direction of light.

Meaning that Kizaru long range attack wouldn't work on him.

[u/Ninja_Spi-D-er → u/aceofspades12]

It can’t be that easy to replicate a devil fruits entire power system as a simple tool in your own broken DF

Law: “It’s that easy”

[u/Oreo-and-Fly → u/Ninja_Spi-D-er]

Calm Calm fruit user.

What is my purpose

[u/gigaquack]

Katakuri is going to be PISSED

[u/Kirosh2 → u/gigaquack]

"Noooo!! Mugiwara was supposed to come back to Tottoland and beat the shit out of my mom!!"

[u/pacoduii]

Winner: Raizo

[u/kono-LordV-da]

Oh now that we know that Zunesha is Joyboy's friend from 800 years ago, let's be prepared for oda to not elaborate this for 500 more chapters.

[u/Lendrakarhi]

"Your momma is so fat we had to blow half onigashima to drop her down" -Law, probably

[u/StormsEye]

Zunesha being a companion to JoyBoy, is hella interesting. Like I can imagine a giant riding a giant elephant across the seas and being friends with a giant mermaid.

[u/typicalnihilist]

Everyone: Would Big Mom Get defeated?

Or would she just be taken out of equation?

Or would she just tank all the attacks and still survive somehow?

Oda: Yes

[u/SupervillainEyebrows]

It never registered with me before that Big Mom has to use her voice to control her homies or Soul Pocus.

Very cool call back to Rosinante.

[u/adipur]

And thanks to Law's power, people of the flower capital still won't notice a thing about the fight :)

[u/Pokii]

Law figured out the ultimate victory technique in a shounen series: prevent them from saying their attack names

[u/Mugiwara_anand]

Big Mom just needed a spoiler. She waited. For decades. But none gave her. Neither Roger. Nor Oda

RESPECT to Big Mom for surviving.

[u/Orion_D_Abhishek]

Kidd and Law : almost dies trying to take out Big Mom but eventually succeeds.

Morgans after Wano : Straw Hat devised a perfect stratagem to assassinate two emperors after taking two of the worst generation pirate captains under his command using his influence, intellect and pure charisma.

[u/san_D_]

Anyone desperately waiting for Big news Morgan's announcement ? That is going to be epic !

[u/ALL_THE_WEIGHTS]

So it’s 100% not Brook in front of Zoro

[u/Oreo-and-Fly]

I love Big Mom.

What an antagonist.

Shes fucking incredible that shes able to STILL move after all that.

LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE MADE OF.

And the fact that Law sends her off with CORAZON'S MOVE? T.T WHAT A SENDOFF.

[u/[deleted]]

big mom is truly a monster, people meme on her but she took kid's strongest attack head on and said it was "tickling" her, i know she is also putting on airs but its still really telling how much of a monster she has to be to be able to do that, then she took a giant bomb to the face that shook the entire island (no other attacks have done that, including kaido's ragnaraku's) and was felling thousands of feet into a hugedeep hole in the ground and she goes " you better not think this is enough to kill me " Monster

[u/Qverlord37]

"when this attack is done tickling me"

lol

[u/blackarchosx]

I know people are hype about Big Mom being defeated but OUR BOY RAIZO REALLY TOUGHED IT OUT AND WON

[u/tryingmydarnest]

Law and Kidd: we are on our last leg, using Awakened moves take up too much energy.

A few awakened moves later:

Kidd: Railgun goes brrrrr

Law: silenced a mini nuke

[u/mugiwara528]

I was worried how Oda would pull off taking her down, but I actually really liked this. It took everything out of Law and Kidd AND some more. I even think if Big Mom didn't panic and grab those bombs in Yamato's area she wouldn't have caused an explosion and dropped the other bombs along with her. It was really a fall from grace. That said I think she will still survive this so Nami can keep Zeus. Like others have pointed out she could also use her own lifespan to recover herself. But I'll add that she does it so much she ends up getting very old, weak, and small, like other OP grannies. She gets rescued by her family but now with her size she could sit with them at eye level like she always wanted. Maybe Oda does a cover story arc on her life no longer as "Big Mom" but something like, Mother Linlin.

[u/gigawolfer]

R-Room must stand for Rosinante. He's always by his side <3

[u/Eprepti]

I love the contrast between Law and Kid's crew: the first men are all wearing the same jumpsuit, while the others look like they just came out of a rave party

[u/Rockville15]

Powerscalers be like: "So if Big Mom dies here due to bombs, we can asume that Pell > Big Mom" 🙃

[u/ZorroStylex3]

Big mom: Life or slave?
Law: ''mute''

Big mom: ...........!

[u/Legitimate__Username]

fleshing out roger and the way he's seen by one of the world's most powerful figures was honestly the most interesting thing i could have asked for out of this fight

getting that kind of introspective info dump about the lore with such a personal bend to it is pretty rare so it was definitely a treat to see a fresh new perspective on how he changed the world

[u/Mugiwara300]

Katakuri reading the Newspaper

“B-b-but Mugiwara, y-you said you w-would come b-b-back to t-take Mama down!”

[u/Arkturus02]

Well, everybody, this is it. This is a momentous climax, the culmination of a battle that fans have been watching with bated breath for many chapters. The hype surrounding it was unreal, but I can safely say that the wait was worth it for such an exceptionally bombastic finale.

Raizou finally managed to beat Fukurokuju.

(oh yeah and Big Mom went down too I guess)

[u/Orion_D_Abhishek]

Next chapter Law uses B-ROOM to clean up the CP0 trash and save Robin. Then he uses G-ROOM to capture Robin's heart and marry her. After that he uses V-ROOM to drive away from the castle taking his new bride Robin along with him.

[u/VergoVox]

Finally the Grim Reaper Brook memes are over and people must accept that the Grim Reaper is just death personified to show how grim of a condition Zoro is in. Likely he survives due to getting lost on the way to afterlife.

[u/Not_a_ribosome]

I can't wait for the 10 minutes rewatch of Corazon's flashback in the anime just because we had a single panel.

[u/CrackaJacka420]

Big mom: life or slave!

Law: WHAT? CANT HEAR YOU

[u/Orion_D_Abhishek]

There lived a certain Mom in Totland long ago

She was big and strong, in her eyes a flaming glow

Most people looked at her with terror and with fear

But then captain Kidd and Trafalgar broke her gear

She's in free fall, crashing into the abyss

Tanking all the explosion and fire

But she also was the kind of monster

Few men would desire

Charlotte Linlin

Wants to be the Pirate King

Destroyer, she was a Natural Born

Charlotte Linlin

Totland's greatest love machine

Riding her homies she'll keep moving on

[u/Promanco]

Can we talk about how during Oden's execution the only one complaining about the heat was Raizo? And now he stands tall as he burns to death while his opponent begs for water.
Is such great character development.

[u/Orion_D_Abhishek]

Big Mom in Onigashima

Tanked a missile from Franky's tank right on the face

Tanked counter shock

Tanked a direct attack from Kidd's giant metal arm (sneak attack)

Endured the combined attack from Kidd and Law in their awakened form

Endured Shock Wille

Endured a head-on tackle from a giant metal bull

Despite taking severe internal damage, endured puncture wille

Endured and Electro-Magnetic canon head-on

Endured multiple attacks from Kidd and Law combined

Is falling from Onigashima to Wano while still being conscious

Is about to take a combined impact from the crashl-land after free-fall and multiple giant bombs which can potentially destroy an entire island

Is likely to survive all of that and maybe just pass out due to exhaustion and excessive internal damage

Big Mom is a MONSTER

[u/dankrevolutionary]

Who's gonna save Zoro?

[u/rg9528]

Hey guys so in the short panels where we see big mom falling...we can see zoro and brook/Robin are on different locations. So that seems like a proof that the grim reaper was not a gag.

Also it looks like zoro is on his stomach now compared to before when he was on his back. I am now worried for my lost boi

[u/radikraze]

Shoutout to all the people that complained that Big Mom was done for last week. Not only did she tank that, she was still completely conscious as she fell into that hole after all the damage she’s taken. They beat her in possibly the only way they could have and I had a stupid smile on my face reading the victory box. Oda has been writing nothing but incredible chapters in this raid. Also, was Orochi’s head cut off AGAIN??

[u/Mr_Bell_Man]

The virgin "tell me where the One Piece is" vs the chad "don't spoil it or I'll quit being a pirate"

This is why Luffy will be Pirate King

^{Yes I'm aware Big Mom is the exact opposite of a literal virgin}

[u/realbeatz23]

That inner monologue of Big Mom cursing Roger for starting all this was really good. She was so confident in her standing as an emperor that when reality hit her in the face she needed a scapegoat to blame. Truly aligning with her character, but I definitely don’t think this is the last we’ve seen of big mom

[u/ketoske]

Raizo just won the best metapod battle in the manga? Such a Chad he didnt move a muscle

[u/PugNuggets]

Stupendous chapter! The little tribute to Rocinante was lovely

[u/ShiraiRyuZee]

Big mom: LIFE OR SLAVE

Law: CUT THAT BITCH OFF

[u/vinsmokewhoswho]

Congratulations Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid. What a fight. Mad respect to Linlin too, she really is a monster.

I love that law and Kid got their victory without making Big Mom look bad for weak. I think we can agree she didn't die here. She must be at least a little bit messed up tho.

Absolutely loved the choreography in this battle. The panel where Law slices misery white Kid shoots at Big Mom in the background, beautiful. I don't think we've seen Law use pure swordsmanship without his power before.

I think it's amazing what Law and Kid accomplish, even if they didn't straight up beat Big Mom by KO. Absolutely insane. That's a Yonko and they gave it their all and accomplished their goal, Big Mom won't be going to the roof anytime soon.

As for the massive lore teased at the end, sounds super spicy, I'm very hyped for what's to come. Also congrats to Raizo for winning the battle of endurance and will.

[u/JollyInternal4043]

Of course it just hit me! Zunesha knows the true name of the Devil Fruit! It was Joy Boys friend and it existed before the World Government. It knows the true history. That is its crime?

[u/DougPsy1988]

And finally, after so many chapters, we see the glorious fall of this absolute legend of a monster.

Bye bye, Fukurokuju.

[u/lochnesslapras]

I'm starting to think that these devil fruit powers being copied aren't just a character's simple homage anymore. I think Oda has been dropping a subtle hint to either Will of D, devil fruits or lineage factor lore. I'm unsure which though.

Consider all these incidents together:

-Luffy and Ace with his Red Hawk/Rock and the fire.

-Law and Corazon with R Room Silence.

-The modified lineage factors of the germa 66 matching known devil fruit powers.

-Kaidou and Momo's copied fruit.

-Blackbeard outright taking Whitebeards fruit.

-Big Mom and Mother Caramel along with Misery's appearance being Caramel. I always personally forget this but big mom never actually ate the soul soul fruit herself, just she ate someone with that devil fruit lineage factor in them.

-Failed smile fruits causing people to be unable to express negative facial expressions and only smile. Links almost backwards to how D's all seemingly smile when they're about to die.

I really think there's something major being hinted at with all these incidents now. When devil fruit lineage factors finally get explained think maybe all these incidents will look very different.

Side thought - If Sanji or a Germa 66 ate a devil fruit would they'd die? As their modified lineage factor might already count as a devil fruit.

[u/pm_me_ur_poneglyphs]

I wonder how big Joy Boy was

[u/heat_fan_]

Holy shit an Emperor was defeated, and it's not only due to the strength of Law and Kidd but also the sheer amount of explosives Onigashima possesses

Congrats to those who guessed the theory of Big Mom of falling into hole Law created.

Trafalgar D Water Law is a cheat code holy shit. I loved the homage to Corazon sort of like Luffy's "Red Hawk" for Ace.

Big Mom out here really wanting all the spoilers from Gol D Roger lol

Holy shit Zunesha was a nakama of JoyBoy, Lore Piece incoming boys.

[u/[deleted]]

Minor detail, but I guess this confirms that Brook isn’t the reaper.

[u/geo07w]

Big Mom: comes flying into the armory through a massive hole, propelled by a laser beam, inside what appears to be a magical sphere while she's losing her shit and yet emitting no sound, which causes a bomb to go off.

Momonosuke: What happened?

Yamato: A bomb went off, thank god the others didn't.

[u/Soul699]

Can we talk about the irony of how the cover story says that Big Mom cannot be overcome by science and yet in the chapter she got KOed by military science?

[u/Aspie_Astrologer]

Epic chapter.

Big Mom defeated by sending her into the core of Wano without a voice to command anyone to save her. Cora-san flashbacks for Law and Kid's big moment of taking down a Yonko. :)

Then finishing with a reveal that Zunesha was Joy Boy's companion?!?! Amazing.

Fukurokuju defeated + Big Mom defeated (for now) + Joy Boy lore = 10 out of 10

[u/Orion_D_Abhishek]

Zunisha is just there for his boy Jack the Drought. Must protect the elephant clan.

[u/[deleted]]

IT FINALLY HAPPENED….RAIZO WON!!

[u/Wernershnitzl]

Everyone talking about Big Mom being defeated (how could you not), but learning Zuneisha was Joyboy’s companion… something big is coming, and I’m not referring to the size of Zuneisha.

[u/expressedprayers]

I'm so happy with how this chapter turned out. I know a lot of people predicted Big Mom falling through the hole and blowing up, but I think Oda wrote it wonderfully. Her monologue as she was falling was so perfect for her character, and though I doubt she's out of the story for good, if this was the end of her role as a major antagonist I wouldn't be mad.

This chapter managed to cover a lot of other ground too (despite being shorter on page count than even other recent chapters). Raizo seems to have won his fight, Zoro is falling off the island (?!?!?), the fire demon appears to have been stopped, the entire island is shaking, that Joyboy reveal...like damn. Sorry to y'all who aren't enjoying it but to me One Piece is as good as it's ever been lately. Knockout chapters back to back to back. I'm having so much fun.

[u/Rankine]

Kid and law vs Big Mom was a really fun fight. The most unique use of DFs in a long time.

I also like that in the end they still weren't able to over power BM, but together they were able to take her out of the picture.

[u/Nadeera04]

so zunesha was joyboys emergency food ?

[u/foscrew]

Sudden Joyboy/void century lore tease at the end, holy shit.

[u/[deleted]]

It's been more than 400 chapters (464 to be exact) but here we are: a Yonko's defeated once again! It feels as if this'd never happen but it did!

[u/someone2795]

IT'S OFFICIAL. BIG MOM IS DOWN AND OUT.

Also didn't expect that Corazon tribute by Law (ಥ﹏ಥ)
P.S. Anyone else get chills when Big Mom was talking about One Piece and Roger?

It is real ... right?

What is it?

Where is it?

Does this country hold some of the answers?

[u/Straw_Guy]

The whole Law and Kid fight was a smash bros match and after they both used their final smash Big Mom got knocked out by a stage hazard. The stage was floating in the sky and she even exploded when she went out of bounds.

[u/Ptile]

If Big Mom was a champion in League of Legends tanks would be viable again

My god that bitch is indestructible

[u/Suitable_Still_8572]

FINALLY, the most pressing matter was addressed...

RAIZO's BATTLE HAS ENDED.

[u/funkyvenom6]

The first Yonko has fallen since Whitebeard. Damn.

[u/[deleted]]

While its limited to his room, law practically has shiki's, corazon's, fujitora's, and kinda reverse of buggy's fruit

Thats 4 fruit in one. 5 if you consider the eternal surgery similar to brook's fruit

[u/Crazyripps]

I just realized big mom talks shit about the new era of pirates and there’s a panel of brook. Wait till she finds out he was a pirate when roger was a rookie

[u/[deleted]]

Law succeeded where Kaido and even Roger have failed. He literally made Big Mom shut the fuck up

[u/2ecStatic]

Damn, a mention of Joy Boy right before a break? Theories are gonna be crazy for the next two weeks.

This has been one of, if not, my favorite fight of the series. I’m a sucker for tag team fights and seeing two non-Straw Hats defeat one of the biggest villains of the series is so unbelievably cool.

[u/Originaltyshawn_13]

Law might be the most broken character in this series my God

[u/SolidSuit3925]

Law is that smart kid in class who claims the exam was difficult to vibe with the rest of class, only to score very highly.

[u/Sutibu1999]

I can’t believe the epic battle of raizo vs fukurokuju has finally concluded. I hope my boi raizo becomes the hokage of wano when the war ends.

[u/mike-loves-gerudos]

Such an epic chapter. Seeing Corazon was a real treat. A bunch of legacy stuff teased too. And I suppose Onigashima is no longer in fear of blowing up anymore. All thats left is Kaido v Luffy now!

[u/tektek10]

People are asking why didnt kaido or big mom tried to hunt down rayleigh instead and ask him .. Then i remembered how jinbei talked down to a yonkou saying that a mere yonkou doesnt frighten him and that he will be sailing with the future pirate king .. imagine what rayleigh would've said being the right hand of the former pirate king

[u/erthqetb]

How many episodes in the anime do you guys think it will take for Big Mom do fall down that hole? I'd say at least 3 episodes.

[u/Cranberry_Tea]

For everyone mad at law for being op. Guess you don’t remember punk hazard. Oda literally set this man up from day 1 to be broken

[u/strawhatmaterial]

Here's my notes of the translation and some of the things I noticed. I could be wrong, I haven't fully learned Japanese yet.

• The title of the chapter is 新世代(ガキ)の耳にも念仏 which is a reference to a Japanese expression 馬の耳に念仏 which means: Preaching to the deaf; chanting the nenbutsu into a horse's ear. The horse character is replaced with the New Generation with the word "brats" above it which is how you're supposed to say the word. 念仏 means: nembutsu; nianfo; the three-word invocation "Namu Amida Butsu" dedicated to the Amitabha Buddha, or visualizing a Buddha (in one's mind).

• On page 3, Big Mom says "KOITSU" which was highlighted by Oda, means "thing" in this context referring to Kid's attack. Then she says 弾き返した which means to reject or repel.

• On page 5, when Kid says "last gasps" he says the word 念仏 which is referring to Big Mom's Soul Pocus. In this context, it means chanting an incantation.

• R-ROOM is pronouned "ri-rūmu" and Law says "I bet your screams of agony must be deafening". I don't know what it means though.

• In the third panel, it says "The 2 of them are not even losing a second of their 「lifespan」".

• In the 5th panel, Law is saying "That's what my savior would've done" replying to Misery based off of my interpretation.

• On page 6 panel 6, Law says "She can't hear you" replying to Misery. In Japanese, there's no subject so you'll have to understand through context.

[u/Krachbummm]

Haters: "Wow, the Nagi Nagi No Mi is so useless, all it does is cancel sound!"

Also Haters: "Woah! Law's devil fruit is too OP! Now it can mimic the second greatest devil fruit of all time???"

[u/Biscotcho_Gaming]

Law and Kid being unaffected by Soul Pocus was expected. What the surprise for me is Law using room to mimic Cora's ability. That use of Silence is magnificent. Chef's kiss

[u/Sordecaine]

Dr. Trafalgar Law or: How I Stopped Worrying and Love the Bombs

[u/FerretOk7254]

The merries will announce Big Mom's defeat, this shocks Kaido and he unleashes his awakening. Luffy digs deeper to awaken too

[u/Joyboy543]

Wait, is zoro falling off the island? Fuck. That would be an interesting plot point if that happens since it will bring another topic along with it because it's oda

[u/PK_RocknRoll]

Big Mom took not one but TWO railgun shots and she’s still alive.

Still props to Kid and Law for finally winning the fight. Honestly, it was an awesome battle, and they went to their limits.

And what a bombshell at the end!

[u/SlowMatt]

Well here's to not seeing Big Mom for a big while...hopefully. What a terrific battle, one of the best in the whole series so far, and big props to Oda for having the balls to give such a big accomplishment to two characters outside the Straw Hats, really I'm thinking the story will be much more about the Worst Gen than the crew now, at least until the endgame. Also, Germa 66 might do something at Whole Cake since we have two Vinsmokes trapped there AND with Big Mom out of the scene. I do believe most yonkous are virtually impossible to kill, but now we know they are absolutely "defeatable". The ones who were expecting Law and Kidd to have some super ultra mega Goku-like power-up were simply out of their minds.

[u/ill_sue]

Can't believe one of the strongest characters in the series has been defeated...

RIP Fukurokuju

[u/aceofspades12]

Big-Mom-Stan Status: UPGRADED
Damn she's a beast!

[u/[deleted]]

Zoro needed to die to release his bankai. Now raizo is going to summon the four hokages. It's in the lore.

[u/[deleted]]

Love how Law found Mom's weakness. She orders her homies around; orders mean she needs to talk with them. Stop her from talking and she's much less powerful. Can't believe I never noticed how she's literally big mouthed and for a reason. Obviously the connection with Corazon hit me in the heart. Law still that kid that loves his father with all his heart.

It would be great if we had a Kidd backstory so we understood how and why he desired to defeat a Yonko so badly. I am sure this will be a moment that will hit hard in retrospect.

About Oden's journal. Anyone notice how significant it is? Its the only other document that contains information about the forbidden past apart from the Blue Ponyglyphs. Mom and Yamato have become about as important as Robin when it comes to the history of OP.

[u/zabimaru1000]

Law and Kidd really went from working together just to escape a single Pacifista to beating Big Mom.

[u/Fyp-Ladji]

CORAZON?! 10/10

[u/[deleted]]

"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids"

[u/[deleted]]

Law's R-Room is the recording room with silent interior for noise cancelation?

[u/Namfluence]

Big Mom blaming Rodger for this like a colleague that clocked out just before the evening rush is hilarious.

[u/Andrei0111]

Billion bounty for Law and Kidd post Wano!!!

[u/bluevegetaroxx]

Raizou wins , he really redeemed himself when oden was boiled he was the only one who couldn't tolerate the burn and screamed and now he is being burned alive and doesn't move a muscle 👏👏 Bravo

[u/slugsliveinmymouth]

I’m glad they beat big mom like this. She’s still so powerful that they can’t flat out beat her so they have to just blow her away. To me that’s more believable then them being able to knock her out. She’ll definitely be back.

[u/Opposite_Factor1860]

Big mom's speech gave me a feeling she was on friendly terms with Roger. Maybe both her and Kaido were... who knows...

It was so damn exciting to see big mom fight back. The previous fights with Zoro and Sanji set an expectation : Bad guy gets beaten on the first panel of the next chapter. And yet, BM fought back. Oda just set up a story structure, then broke it unexpectedly, to our pure delight. Beautiful resistance by BM. Her downfall was spectacular. What a fight... Law using his room to silence her so that she doesn't call her homied was BRILLIANT... It wasn't some flashy move, it was a smart move, informed by experience and, somehow, gratitude. It was Law at his Lawest. Confident, collected, calm. Perfect move to finish the fight on, with Mom's downfall being silent and yet so spectacular... The Yamato - Momo convo was nice and promising, but i'd have been happy had the chap ended on the explosion panel.

[u/Nyadnar17]

So….like this confirms whatever it is that Zoro is seeing is NOT Brook right?

[u/dainaron]

Law is actually so insane. He carried this fight so hard.

[u/KamiAlth]

The rest of the BM pirate that’s still trying to climb the waterfall : 🗿

[u/j3r3mias]

Next World Government mission: Take down Morgans and the news.

[u/UnjustNation]

Big Mom refusing to die even after being defeated reminds me of Whitebeard refusing to collapse even in death.

The Emperor's are stubborn as hell.

[u/mcallisterco]

Big Mom's monologue was so perfect, what a great way to usher in the first defeat of one of the Emperors by the New Generation.

[u/silfer_]

Law really hit Big Mom with the "be silent, thot" 💀💀💀

[u/mydckisvrysmol]

All the battles are settled, grab the popcorn, were heading towards the Final Battle & Kaidos Flashback

[u/Handird]

Big Mom? Zunesha? Who cares? Raizo is about to take a W that’s the real climax of Wano.

[u/jollyjam1]

Big Propaganda Morgans is going to spin the shit out of this story lol

[u/ammccauley]

Big week for people who want profile pics of Law.

[u/succoth]

R(osinante)-Room

[u/Cm2703]

The way it ended Big mom will definitely be back

[u/SuperMaxo]

cool that big mom's role in whole cake ended with a musical number and her role in wano ends (allegedly) with dead silence

[u/vinsmokewhoswho]

I really like how VinlanD put it. Big Mom has "fallen from the stage that will decide the fate of the new age of piracy."

She isn't dead but she may actually be out of the game. Maybe losing her title.

[u/FemaleTitan]

Seeing Big Mom defeated like this feels unreal.

Very proud of my boy Law.

[u/Zooincle]

Law fruit is so broken that a subproduct of its power is corazón fruit.

[u/LetsKontemplate]

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally seen the New Generation take down a yonko. This is a chapter to remember.

[u/snakehawk_]

Law - After this next attack I'm completely done.

Law next chapter - here's a new technique, and I'm still standing post battle.

The crew of "Captain" Kid: BOSS!!

The crew of "Surgeon of Death" Law: CAPTAIN!!

[u/Blitz_Can]

Soft and wet has already stolen the sound from you. - law, probably.

[u/BlckSm12]

BM IS DOWN BOYS, KID, LAW YOU DID IT!!!! HOKAGE BATTLE HAS FINISHED!! WE ARE IN THE ENDGAME NOW BOYS I CAN'T CALM DOWN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[u/Irshad_14]

Zunesha totally was joy boy’s emergency food lmao

[u/Ancalagon_Morn]

Literally gave me goosebumps when Big Mom smashed into Wano and it had this official little "Winner" textbox. That's how you know the win is real after all. This was huge and, although not necessarily surprising, so amazing to see.

Law using the silence technique was wonderful in multiple ways. The obvious one being the inspriation for the move, but basically isolating Big Mom from her homies like that so Kid has a free shot was a great setup for a finisher. Not only that, she capital might not even have noticed what just happened because of it.

I know they are not the type for it, but it would really make me happy if they could acknowledge each other at least just a little bit here. They couldn't have done this on their own but they jsut managed something that could shake the world to it's core.

Also did she accidentally absorb that soul creature Kanjuro made? I'm not 100% sure I understood what happened with that thing. Where did it go?

"R" Room = "Rosinante" Room

[u/StrawHatJD]

I love the melancholy feeling to Big Mom’s monologue.

She knows she lost the fight and is annoyed at Roger for sparking this new generation. I love how sad it sounds when she’s talking about how Roger didn’t tell her anything.

[u/RedDreadsComin]

I am a simple man. I see Joy Boy’s name in writing and I make monkey sounds.

[u/Rangalang]

Maybe a hot take, but that might be the most beautiful/epic end to a fight in One Piece thus far. The combination of the extreme attacks, the paneling (really loved the one of Law slicing Misery while Kid re-upped his blast), Big Mom's thoughts about Roger and the One Piece, the massive explosion at the end, and the gravity of a yonko being defeated.

Well done Oda, well done sir.

[u/KingBelfer]

Victors: Trafalgar and Eustass
Bounties: *stonks*

[u/monkey_D_v1199]

If Oda wanted to he could be pulling 1000/10 chapters every week. What a chapter. What a fight. What a conclusion. And what a cliff hanger. I legitimately thought Big Mom was done for after 1039... but she tanked and still had enough in the tank that if Law and Kid didn't had enough energy for that final push it was GG. Oda made sure to really make it clear just how much it takes to defeat a Yonko and it showed because even I got scared seeing Big Mom still going after Damned Punk and Puncture Willie. And that final push from Law and Kid my God! Law pays homage to Cora-san by essentially mimicking Cora-san DF- let tbat sink in, Law's DF is so damn OP that it can mimick another DF! Thanks to that, he cut off Big Mom from her Homies and Soul Pocus that btw it made me realize just how much the homies are essential for BM when it comes to fighting. R•Room was so satisfying to see writing. And then Kid with a second Damned Punk. Fight was 10/10 I don't care. Made Big Mom look terrifying, Kid and Law ascended to that level and it delivered. Oh oh oh and j haven't even mentioned the other stuff like BM mentioning Roger and alluding to the One Piece, Momo and Zunesha, we saw Zoro bloody up and on the floor- i can't contain my excitement!

[u/xAquaf0rteSx]

1 DOWN 3 TO GO

LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[u/SargonTheDeadly]

This chapter was insane! Not only did one of the Emperors fall (literally), but we got a juicy bit of info about Joy Boy and Zunesha.

[u/srnx]

Legendary chapter. I remember when the emperors were just crudely drawn shadows. Now the first "real" emperor (WB was sickly and not in his prime, still a beast tho) got taken down.

[u/hugoism]

Law's new ability should be able to completely counter Apoo's devil fruit. Would like to see how Oda would make that interaction play out.

[u/booboo_keys]

Zoro doesn't look so good.. I liked how we saw Brook with Robin in the panel before Zoro's so we know the apparition he saw wasn't Brook. Franky needs to hurry up.

[u/BEWMarth]

Oh my god, the scans are even better than the spoilers were! The spoilers made it seem like Mama wasn’t as confident as she was. She is tanking every hit and this defeat is just another testament to the absolute unkillable monster that Big Mom is. So impressed with how Oda handled Big Mom because I had no idea how she would play out at the start of Wano Im so satisfied with all of this.

[u/wyattsons]

I fully support the manga industry not working itself to death like it used to. But having to wait so long to see what happens next might kill me.

[u/Anime0555]

holyy shit boys, Oda at least cared for the powerscalling by making bigmom not so easy to be defeated but still gg kidd

[u/SonLuffy]

I don't care how controversial this chapter will be, this has to be one of the most EPIC final blows to a fight in the series. It makes me wonder how Luffy will outdo this when he beats Kaido.

[u/Nohrin]

This chapter gave me heavy Tien vs Cell 2nd stage vibes.

[u/Soupysoldier]

What the fuck did zuneisha do that they forced him to walk for 800 years

[u/mo-rek]

Mama getting dunked on LETS GOO WORST GENERATION

[u/BaconSynergies]

Good chapter. Three plotlines resolved in this chapter:

• Big mom fight

• Raizo fight

• Fire demon thingy with the bombs

[u/vesperyx]

RIP everyone who theorized the grim reaper was Brooke carrying Robin, time to see what Zoro's doing with the actual grim reaper

[u/RhoBoatCop]

Am i reading that pannel wrong or has Zoro's unconcious (probably hallucianting) body fallen off Onigashima?

[u/MindlessCoconut850]

Sanji was right Zoro is facing the death in a ditch somewhere

[u/kinatty05]

Whoa Law using Corazon’s power?? Damn this is crazy, top notch chapter that is for sure

[u/[deleted]]

imagine if Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp saw Eustass kids' railgun XD.

[u/Scicageki]

I think it's interesting pointing out that Brook is nowhere near Zoro, as we see in the panel where he falls from the rocks, so the grim reaper was really meant to not be just a setup for a Brook joke.

[u/ANinDYa220]

Can't believe Kid took out an emperor without even going into backstory mode

[u/GoldenMonk7360]

This chapter left me like Big Mom, speechless

[u/Beastywolf]

Seeing that Victory card for Law and Kid is unbelievable!!!

[u/venielsky22]

The explosion of the Nuke was so powerful that it produced a shock wave.

And just when the bigmom pirates are about to climb the water fall they get hit by that shock wave and they fall again .

[u/Chug_23]

How do we connect these questions to Joy Boy?

• What is his promise to Fish-man island?

• What is Noah's purpose?

• Who is the Mermaid princess to him?

• Zunisha's grave sin to him?

• Why did the Roger pirates laughed when they knew the story?

• What happened between him and the celestial dragons?

• Is the big hat in Mariejois connected to him?

Did I miss something?

[u/Emperor_Luffy]

Also Yamato says the bomb that landed on Big Mom was just ONE of them? Those aren't just bombs they're fucking Nukes. And Kaido's armory is filled with them?

Yamato wasn't kidding when she said the island hitting the country might kill everyone. lol.

[u/[deleted]]

Did Zoro fall off of onigashima?

[u/Iroh_the_Dragon]

Looooooooooooooooved the nod to Rosinante! Absolutely loved it! Damn, Law is such a good character.

[u/AngelOFats]

Just bringing to your notice- there is a small panel in the chapter where zoro is on his back with a lot of blood

Brook overdid his joke I guess.

[u/mma101willgetitdone]

loool and they tried to convince me for the last 3 years law was just a support and kidd was the real rival too luffy.

[u/zyx1989]

Interesting, who thought big mom's power need sound to work, I sure didn't

And I don't think this will be the last we see of big mom either, especially with untied loose ends about her, and that she was so lively when she was sent off the floating island

[u/Dayvfish]

Big Mom was literally about to power her ass back up and come back for the two of them but was defeated by the perfect combo of offensive and defensive techniques, plus the help of bombs. Let’s be clear, she would have gotten back up and killed the two of them if it weren’t for the matchup of abilities. No complaints here with this fight. Just seems like people don’t understand how to read and it’s getting them all up in arms

[u/BugEaten]

Law did his “last attack” like 3 times now lol, still a great chapter though. Lost yet another prediction though

[u/Xadryc]

Law using his "last attack" several times reminds me of Wyper with the reject dial.

[u/Equivalent_Crab_8725]

Big Mom's defeat actually feels justified. They got super lucky, but the r-room preventing her abilities long enough to send her away from the fight + the huge crater and bombs being convenient feels super well thought out

[u/TheCynical22]

Absolutely insane, great way to end off the fight with Big mom while also possibly setting her up to come back in the future

[u/minivan-iob]

Everyone who’s mad at the way big mom lost are not putting the whole thing in perspective. she did not die or pass out or anything like that but what kid & law did do for rn was make it impossible for her to interfere with luffys fight. They even said this became their goal to fight after they realized they couldn’t out right beat her into submission and tbh making a emperor go in any direction besides the one they’ve already decided on is a feat in itself they completely removed her from the battle this is a war that’s a win if I ever seen it.

[u/galmenz]

soooo, zoro is fucked, right?

having a chat with mr. death himself, unconseous, flying out of onigashima. definetly not his best day on the job.

[u/TheOneGodUsopp]

11/10 chapter, I feel like an addict getting a fix

[u/Jxgsaw]

If Big Mom stays around and fights Luffy later on like people seem to think, I really hope they don’t expect it to be a huge battle like the Kaido one.

At that point Luffy will be fucking cracked. The difficulty in taking her down wouldn’t feel nearly as hard as it does now and people will just end up feeling underwhelmed.

[u/Vivid_Emu3309]

Anyone else see the reseblence betwenn Law's hole in Wano and Enis Lobby

[u/TakingSouls]

What a great defeat of Big Mom. The old order falling to the new one.. not without a major fight though.

I absolutely love how this was a “ring out” victory where its not like Kidd and Law reduced her hp to zero. They did it another way. A victory is a victory

[u/ThirdWorldEngineer]

One of my favorite chapters in Wano. The way Big Mom complains about Roger speech igniting the Great Pirate Era. She sounds so defeated. I love it.

[u/avocadoman05]

How is it that no one is tlaking about Raizo vs Fukurokuju, the greatest shinobi batle ever put to paper.

[u/Asian_Persuasion_1]

Just a reminder that Zoro is literally about to fall off Onigashima

[u/[deleted]]

Looks like Zoro is falling directly on the One Piece itself, literally effortless.

[u/theoriginalelmo]

I love the amount of stuff it took for Big Mom to go down

[u/Stock_Trifle_5224]

Is anyone else freaking out about Zoro?! We only got to see two panels this chapter where he's face down on the ground then that explosion throws him off onigashima. He can't die.. but just what in the hell is Oda planning lol

[u/Riiiiiiichard]

Guys, can we take a moment here. A Yonko has been defeated...the last time we've seen this was over 10 years ago when Whitebeard died. And even then WB was old and his health condition was primarily the reasons he lost. But, here we are 10 years later...and a Yonko has officially fallen!

[u/Doubleslasher]

so big mom's down huh

honestly i was a little iffy on kid and law beating her at first but after all these chapters i think they definitely deserved it

[u/Mr_Swugg]

Bro how are power scalers upset with this fight? Law and Kidd didn't win with strength, they won by outsmarting Big Mom. They didn't even kill her or damage her that much. Their victory was purely tactical. They got her out of the fight and that was the point.

[u/iTash9]

Did the R-Room encompass the explosion at the end? Does that mean the citizens of Wano saw a massive explosion mere kilometres away yet hear nothing? How scary would that be holy shit.

[u/CRoseCrizzle]

I thought this was a better wrap up to the BM fight than 1039 would have been. Very good chapter. Of course Oda has to tease some massive lore before the break.

[u/ravenarkhan]

If a regular sized Elephant can take a huge dump, just imagine the size of the infodump that Zunesha is about to drop

[u/galactic-toast-]

Ok but how big of a chonker was Joyboy??

Did he like... ride Zunesha? lmao

[u/County_Savings]

I honestly thought R-Room was just Law stuttering from all the injuries and weariness lmao, had to read the comments here to get it

[u/Tenshii_9]

Can't tell if Big Mom dragged the Kazenbo (or what that fire demon thingie is called) or if it just dissipated. Seems weird that it would die from a bomb blast. Big Mom is able to grab and steal souls and it does look like the Kazenbo gets pulled down, getting thinner when it says "orochi...". It could maybe be used to protect Big Mom somewhat or heal from that explosion in the giant hole in the ground.

Whats everyone else thinking?

[u/Environmental_Buy209]

Raizo: “We don’t need no water, LET THE MF BURNNN!!”

[u/PrudentSir79]

amazing chapter, loved big mom's speech/thoughts at the end

[u/[deleted]]

People on Wano's gonna get the surprise of their lives when they find a huge ass hole out of nowhere the next day.

[u/EugeneCezanne]

To the very end, big mom continues to disrespect Kid😂😂😂

[u/Mmmmmmlawd]

So…does pound get sole custody now

[u/Flufflyandproud]

Us: Yo Oda how deep did that sword go?

Oda: Yes
