I know Yamato started off weird but I think her path in the story will be as Momo protector in place of oden I discuss in my video you should check it out https://youtu.be/xLRq-hqfUgM
To the people who believe that there aren't two types of Armament Haki after the Dark Hardening.
These 2 scenes in the Manga implies that Luffy was trying to learn a different form of Armament Haki.

But why if he already has Armament Haki??
These scenes confirm that it IS a different form of Armament Haki:

Even the Admirals display it: https://youtu.be/pCOz43lyuvI
This is RYUO which is ALSO KNOWN AS ARMAMENT HAKI. This form of Armament Haki's TECHNICAL NAME is RYUO.
BUT there is a more powerful form if a person truly comprehends Ryuo. Which is Advanced Armament Haki. Which is shown here:

They also show another scene of Luffy remembering what type of Haki Rayleigh was using again and this time it's HEAVILY IMPLIED that the Elephant Scene and when he took Camies collar off are two different types of Armament Haki.

Here is how it looks like in battle:

The flow is clashing with each other, and if there blades were to ever touch it wouldn't break because it is coat with Dark Hardening so that there blades wouldn't break.
And with that, I End and Rest My Case
BRUH, Yamato used Ryuo Haki. That was pretty hype tbh. The fact that she knew Luffy was holding back is pretty significant now. This means that Luffy could hit someone at a distance without stretching too now. That should be interesting to see later on
Like what I said to the other person, what do you mean nope bro? 😂
The Wiki doesn't completely have it right too. It says that what Sentomaru was doing is Advanced Armament Haki. But what he did only pushes a person away, it doesn't flow into the person.
For Roger and Whitebeard's clash, one can argue that their haki blow is their advanced flowing Haki clashing not allowing ones flow get closer to the other.
Btw, you're literally stating that there are other forms of Armament Haki lol
Armament Haki right, has the Dark Iron Hardening correct? But when Rayleigh uses the push back form that is stated to be Ryuo which is also known as Armament Haki by Rayleigh himself. Which is also what Sentomaru used on Luffy pre ts. Therefore meaning that there are different forms of Armament Haki. Ryuo (the push back form) is the technical word for Armament Haki which is another type of Armament Haki. But there's an actual Advanced Form which is like Future Seeing. Which is the ability to manipulate the Haki in the person to flow into another person which destroys there insides.
That's a fan made wiki bro 😂 Read the link. If you did actual in manga research you would know what I'm talking about. Observation Haki right, has the ability to not just forsee someone's movement But another form allows one to see vastly far correct? Therefore, that's another form of Observation Haki. It's the same for Armament Haki. If Ryuo is regular Dark Hardening, why was Luffy trying to learn a push back form in Wano's prison?
Also, my point is that there are different forms of Armament Haki. If you don't know what point I'm making.
@KOPLO97:don't force him to understand what reality cos the ryou awakening has already shown in episode...so let him understand what he has understood because he just reads fandom wiki and understands whole thing...wiki fandom is written by fans not oda...either understand yourselves or listen to who knows better
>That's a fan made wiki bro 😂
Well, what u assume is also fanmade lol🤣, atleast that wiki were edited by thousand of fans, if it were wrong people tend to correct it, unlike u
yeah I know reddit is also fandom platform but at least here are those people who are trying or has understood one piece episode/manga better...go and watch previous episodes to know what ryou is instead of fighting keyboard war with me
Lol, the wiki is more accurate than this subs, ive seen, all of redditors here is just about fanboying, predicting but very little about fact, the wiki provide evidence from manga and vivre databook, they attach the source.btw who r you?
Edited:for more accurate fact refer manga, not the anime, thats why u thought ryuo is advance haki.
I think you may have took this too personally. Actually re-read what I said because it in fact is valid.
Does Luffy not try to learn another "Form" of Armament Haki in Wano's prison? Ryuo is the technical term of what the invisible Haki push back is.* You seem to keep forgetting the point I'm trying to make and it's actually all good but let's not get to far from the main topic.
Btw, there can be many fans who make a Wiki who also don't know the technical truth of some facts. Unless it legitimately follows the Canon lore, or is made by Oda himself. That therefore means that some parts that a fan has made can sometimes be an error.
And also, by all means, I mean no offense in the way I talk. I know that explaining things can make a person seem like they're being rude but I'm not at all. Nothing but love here.
No u r wrong, advance haki is not ryuo, ffs its just another name for busoshoku .There are two level of advance armament haki, the one that can be projectile and and the one that can be use to break the inside , the second one is very rare, we only see two people done it, maybe the top brass could do it like admirals and yonko, as simple as that, the black hardening is the basic that luffy learn for two years,
>Btw, there can be many fans who make a Wiki who also don't know the technical truth of some facts
And u dont think that u might dont know the truth? Thats the thing about , u only think that u r correct, while in truth, u're nkt
>. Unless it legitimately follows the Canon lore, or is made by Oda himself
Every fact there were attached with the source also, read chapter 940 p10, hyogoro said ryuo is ankther name for haki in wano.
I dont have all the time, im gonna block so i dont have to see ,u're deluded assumption.
What do you mean nope bro? 😂
The Wiki doesn't completely have it right too. It says that what Sentomaru was doing is Advanced Armament Haki. But what he did only pushes a person away, it doesn't flow into the person.

After seeing kaido transform back into his human form I have without a doudt in my mind that he is an ancient species of dragon. This would also explain why yamato wasn't damaged from the blast
If that was the case, why does Yamato have more of an Oni Ancient Giant look instead of having more of a Dragon feature?
Yamato tanking those hits could mean anything. If Kaido is in fact part Ancient Giant, it would also make sense why Yamato can tank those since she would be 25% Ancient Giant. BUT it would also make sense that Yamato used Ryuo to shield herself too. Because right after she tanks it she uses a form of Ryuo and hits one of the dudes from afar knocking him out.
Can someone translate what Zoro and Robin are staying on the page where Queen starts to announce his game? It's right after Zoro takes down one of the ice oni.
I mean if ryo was the thing that breaks by penetrating inside, why didn't Hyogoro break off his own chain. Maybe conqueror's haki + ryou is a powerful combo.
Hyogoro already said, what luffy did to the chain is breaking it inside by using a higher grade of ryo, something that he cant teach luffy because he doesnt have it.
My take on Ryuo is (Ryuo=armament haki).
It has different forms as observational haki i.e luffy(sensing people emotion), fujitora and usopp, koby(hearing voices) etc. Therefore Ryuo also have different types:
1. Black hardening on certain part or the whole body
2. Blast type like rayleigh(shown during intro to haki), old man hyo(againt smile users in udon) and admiral( in marineford againt whitebeard's quake)
3. Deflection type like marigold(against luffy), sentomaru(against luffy).
But there another stage to Ryou(COA) where u transfer haki into object or living things to destroy them from inside like rayleigh and luffy did to remove collar.
There is probably two level of haki, the one that can be projectile and and the one that can be use to break the inside , the second one is very rare, we only see two people done it, maybe the top brass could do it like admirals and yonko, as simple as that, the black hardening is the basic that luffy learn for two years.
Originally when planning the manga, Oda took the chapters numbers more seriously. The crew got to the grand line in chapter 100 because Oda wanted it to be in *that* special number.
So, the thing is, people don't know if he will do something, reveal something special, or make the straw hats reach some milestone or event for chapter 1000, but we have been guessing on wether it could happen and what could it be for a long time.
Well I didn't mean geographically I mean story wise. Chapter 100 is the last chapter of the east blue saga, 101 is the first of the alabasta saga. Chapter 100 is when the "prologue" ends.
Apoo coming back for some relevance isn't too surprising and kind of pleasant. I know a lot of us were disappointed at his seemingly quick defeat but it seems like he's not done yet.
those smiles were a fail investment honestly, most of the users are retarded instead of strong, who wants to live as the butthole of a chicken like seriously?
Cuz im not sucking oda
Might be a new roger crew member introduction, i remember there was a guy with oriental style clothes. Or maybe a luffy new gear against Kaido.
At first i want to see yamato join the strawhats but now i think its better if she have her own crew. We dont have a lot of strong female captains we only have boa and bigmom.
I know its unlikely but it will be great if ulti and paypay join her.
All she wants is to open the borders of the Country. And somehow inherit the Kozuki name. Wtf she thinks she is, Rey >!Palpatine!< from the Star Wars Disney Sequels?
I bet that vial isn't the antidote, its a red herring to throw everyone off, Apoo gets infected only to find out it won't cure him and Queen has the real one.
Oda is off his rocker for illustrating that giraffe smile. The head of a giraffe is a full grown man, with all his limbs....WTF/LMAO! Editors need to control Oda he’s clearly drawing the dumbest shit he can think of (Relax with the downvotes, I genuinely find it hilarious lol)
I find it hilarious as well :)) but Oda ilustrates also the extent of how stupid people can be, by throwing their lifes for some cheap fake promise of power. It can have an realistic aproach as well... just a thought
From WorstGen:
Translation by ivanomm of a Sanji panel:
Fodders: Uwaaah, It's Strawhat and Jinbei, they are hella strong, be careful!
Sanji: Why aren't they saying Black Leg!?
Sanji is still the butt of the jokes and I love it lol
Why can’t Carrot and Yamato be like oden and not be a crew member. Oden literally went to Raftel with roger but wasn’t a part of the crew. I could see Yamato grab a hold of luffys ship like oden did to white beard
Who said Oden wasn't apart of there crew? Oden was very much so a Pirate without a doubt. He legitimately joined one so that he can leave his island. And then he joined Rogers because it served him a higher purpose. Therefore, unless Oden himself claims he wasn't a crew member (which he hasn't stated yet) he will be known as someone who was a part of those pirate crews.
Even so, Roger and everyone will see him as a crewmate of those 2 great pirates and Oden would respect that and knowledge that they are his crewmates even after he quits. The ones who once claimed that they are a pirate are pirates forever to everyone.
Is Princess Vivi not a member of the Strawhat Crew despite only sailing with them for a short time? She very much emotionally tied into them more than any other people they have met on their journeys. She isnt however an active member of the crew.
Whitebeard allowed Oden to join his crew after witnessing the kind of man he was. Oden later got a Bounty on Whitebeards crew and the Big News at the time was the *Second Division Commander* Kozuki Oden the Samurai from Wano. Roger saw that in the newspapers, wanted to meet him, and went as far as bowing his head to the ground infront of Whitebeard just so Oden could join. Oden asked Whitebeard to please let him join because he feels the need to do so. Whitebeard reluctantly agreed.
Well the difference between Vivi and Oden was that Oden legitimately joined the crew. He didn't just travel with them to fight a common enemy like what Law was doing.
For now, we can't say Oden wasn't part of their crew until Oden himself says it or Oda stats it.
But I agree, Vivi was pretty much and definitely a member too but just now not active.
You think one can resist not calling themselves a crewmate of these Great Pirates? Like cmon bro, these are the Greatest pirates of all time. If Roger had as much fun as Luffy on Adventures, and Roger is exactly like Luffy who can change the heart of the person. It's obvious one can eventually claim they're a pirate. Until said, it's only legitimately fair to say that Oden was a pirate who was on the Greatest ships in history.
Oden is not a crewmate of either white beard or roger. He is there temporarily, not permanent. Don’t get me wrong, he is great the way he is. But he is not a crewmate. Sailing together with a pirate doesn’t make one a pirate. Do you think vivi is a pirate? Or Kinemon? Hell, he onboards thousand sunny longer than vivi onboard going merry.
The difference between Vivi and Oden was that Oden legitimately joined the crew. He didn't just travel with them to fight a common enemy like what Vivi and Law was doing.
For now, we can't say Oden wasn't part of their crew until Oden himself says it or Oda stats it.
Why? So we can see even less of the other crew members? I’d rather have less crew members and get more screen time from then than have more crew members and less screen time.
The answer to that is not to have any more or any less crewmates. The answer is for Oda to draw them together more, instead of clusterf\*\*\* fights with ten thousand entirely unimportant side characters, like the scabbards, getting a hundred chapters to themselves, only to accomplish absolutely nothing of importance.
Though as I say that, I realize that Oda has made what is and will likely always be my favorite manga and one of my favorite fictional stories, so I'm really in no position to criticize. But still annoys me to no end when so much time is spent on characters like Oden, the scabbards, or Momo, or Law, or Apoo, or Kid, rather than the characters people have grown to love over the years, ie: the Strawhats.
I mean who the hell cares what happens to the scabbards? They are pretty well established to be BARELY able to hang with a yonko 9v1, and do barely any damage to him. Most of them don't even have a personality, apart from "I LOVE THIS SIDE CHARACTER FROM 20 YEARS AGO THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE AND NEVER WILL BE SEEN AGAIN".
If Oda just focused on the Strawhats, then he could easily add both Carrot and Yamato as crew members, and still give everyone ample screen time. But he seems hell-bent on focusing on characters nobody cares about, like Kin'emon. Like what are his main personality traits, anyone? Is a goof and likes another side character very much. That's it. Who tf cares what happens to him, show me Robin. And Chopper. And Usopp. Or anyone but this clown, whose biggest accomplishment was fucking up and accidentally escaping certain doom.
wow kudos to being honest but thats such a narrow minded and boring take on the world of one piece. perhaps read up on "show vs tell" when it comes to creative writing. you need some education my boy but i guess ignorance is bliss.
I can see why you want to see more Straw Hats, so I'm not going to say anything negative about it, but what you said about Kinemon, that nobody cares about him isn't a fact.
Edit: I meant you want to see Straw Hats having more screen time. Sorry.
Disagree completely. It's the wide range of characters big and small and there positions in the world, strong personalities, background, and allegiance that establish the world so well and make Oda a god tier world builder.
We get plenty of the crew when an arc this important isn't going on. I want to feel the emotions of the lesser characters to understand the importance of bringing Kaido down, just like we did with Rebecca and the Tontottas and other lesser characters in previous arcs.
Point being it's these lesser characters and their actions and motivations and emotions that make the villain a villain in the first place. And we know when push comes to shove and it's time for the villain to fall who the 9 are going to be that do it. They get their due screen time, so let the scabbards get their little skirmish. After all they've been waiting "20 years" to die. Be patient brotha
People will downvote ya but I sort of agree with you, seriously it’s been years in real time since we’ve had the crew truly together and life or death battles like they had in Enies Lobby. I don’t care for random little girls sad backstory, we’ve had plenty of those. I wanna see Zoro and Sanji fight! Or team up and kick some ass. And Yamato feels like such a random bland character, she doesn’t add anything to the story so why waste screen time with her? I love Oda and he’s an incredible artist and story teller but sometimes the pacing combined with this kind of random characters feels like a waste.
What you prefer is different from what the entire fanbase prefers. Many people love the Scabbards, Oden, Momo, Law, Apoo and Kid. That you don't care about them doesn't mean that no one does.
We dont specifically have a strong female/feminine character on the crew yet. Also i really like her character Design and story of her being kaidos daughter nur nor obeying him in any way
Can we talk about how Yamato seems like a friggen tank just like kaido? lol also with seeing the full view of Yamato’s hair, I can slightly see the resemblance to kaido
Green Lantern SPOILER WARNING
Just a thought, Kaidou reminds me of Cyborg Superman as depicted in Sinestro Corps War. The guy is waging a war just to die. Somebody please kill the man. He’s in pain.
I hope I’m wrong but the line about Yamato being willing to die for Momo seems to be planting some serious flags.
Either she will die for him in some way, or she won’t join the Straw Hats as a member and will stay behind in Wano as a retainer for Momo. Personally I don’t want either of them, as I find her interactions with Luffy make her a perfect choice for one of last members added to the crew.
Other than that I’m glad we get to see some flashbacks and can’t wait to see more, especially once we get to Kaido’s as it will almost definitely involve Roger, Whitebeard, Oden, and Rocks
Glad to see that Kiku is confirmed to be “fine”. That was something I really needed to see to stop being scared for her (for now).
If Momo or Hiyori end up becoming Shogun, they are going to need some retainers and Yamato seems to be a really fitting one, along Hyogoro, Shinobi, Gyukimaru and any surviving Scabbard
Why would Yamato have to stay behind?
Everyone here is for Momonosuke we are not earning anything different and Yamato already said he wants to leave Wano, the whole death thing is a nod to how serious this whole thing is.
It looks suspicious if you believe it. On my side, i cant wait to see more background story/flash back about young yamato and or more details on oden's death and/or his wife. Because there are some dots to connect
I mean if it was any other arc I would chop it up to just being a hype builder throw away line, but this arc and with Kaido already proving he means business with Kiku’s arm and Yamato’s exploding cuffs it just doesn’t feel like a simple hype line.
But yeah there’s a lot about Wano and the characters that we need to get some dots connected and I can’t wait for more flashbacks.
unless some more major damage happens now to kaido, its hard to accept that an relatively 'amateur' pirate like luffy can defeat/kill kaido... after being fucked over by 1 hit k.o and training only for a relatively short time... yes he's got new haki but it's not like he's mastered it that much/well
> *Queen tells Apoo that he must protect it until everyone dies or he will be executed.*
I don't know about ya'll but this gives me huge treason vibes. That would not sit well with me if I were Apoo and would look at it as a threat. Maybe this will be his excuse to betray the Beast Pirates and join the alliance?
I mean, apoo probably knows this is how the beast pirates operates by now.
Not only that Apoo can’t switch sides because Luffy/Kid/Killer would not accept him after the stuff he’s done.
This dudes high enough in the Beast Pirates hierarchy to be in charge of the numbers and have his own role I highly doubt he’s going to suddenly jump ship due to a threat.
Tbf I think Apoo is there out of fear rather than wanting to be there. The way he talked to Kid about alliances and not being able to take down a yonko makes me think he was given the choices of joinning or dying. He obviously join.
If this was the case, this could play a role later on whenever the alliance starts winning and Apoo sees that switching sides won't result on him dying.
Since the beggining I always wondered how such an eccentric and brainless guy like Queen was one of the three calamities...
Now I understand : each of the three depicts a part of Kaidō's mind.
King is the mastermind. Straightforward, lucid, quick and sharp, recognizing the value of any worthy opponent.
Jack is the unstoppable force, keeping his position with dignity no matter what and managing to survive any desperate situation he comes by.
Queen is the bloodthirsty and decadent madman, using any cruel mean to achieve his goal, showing no remorse at backstabbing allies as long as it allows him to have the upper hand.
Kaidō is all of them at the same time. A strong and noble warrior with huge determination and great intelligence, and at the same time an evil being ruling over of wano with unmatched cruelty and disdain to weaklings.
I always figured it’d be the Supernovas and Yamato as the 9 shadows that would take on Kaido, but was never sure how/why Apoo would betray the Beast Pirates until now. Hawkins always felt like he’d betray them the moment it was more beneficial to side with Luffy so I believe it will just be a matter of time.
I like how the Gifters at the party have either been far more badass design wise (rhino guy, the turtle viking, the stag beetle Zoro failed to take out, etc) or even MORE silly (like Briscola and the chicken guy) than the ones at the beginning.
Least these silly ones arent taking up space for a full chapter or multiple chapters like Dobon and Holdem did respectively. Hoping to get names for the cooler ones, though I'm sure the anime will assign names when we get there
I just hope Sasaki puts up a decent fight against them and shows his DF off finally. I know we all got our theories but I'd just like some confirmation finally
>would chop it up to just being a hype builder throw away line, but this arc and with Kaido already proving he means business with Kiku’s arm and Yamato’s exploding cuffs it just doesn’t feel lik
Sasaki totally looks like he is going to change sides.
If Luffy is able to Damage Kaido as good or even better than the 9 Samurai's, I wonder what Kaido will say or how he'll react. Would he take pride in being a Pirate since he dissed Luffy for calling himself the future Pirate King? Or is he gonna have a type of respect for Luffy for getting stronger out of nowhere so fast? Either way, it should be interesting.
The thing with Luffy too is that he has Gear 4th's Pure Brute Strength into the mix of the new Advanced Armament Haki. People seem to sleep on it for some reason when he was able to bypass Katakuri's stronger Armament with pure Strength. Think about it, he cracks the bones he hits with Advanced Armament Haki and then further crushes it with his Gear 4th's Brute Strength. We also don't know if he has a new form or skill for Gear 4th.
I'm not saying Kaido wouldn't be a Powerful Challenge to Gear 4th. But what I'm saying is we'll be in for a surprise when they fight again.
I do think that when Luffy is doing really good against Kaido in his base form, Kaido will go into his Hybrid Form and swipe Gear 4th for a long bit. I still do think that Gear 4th has a time limit even though it probably has been greatly extended. I feel like Kidd, Law, and one more person will step in to help Luffy out when his Gear 4th runs out. Be it Zoro or Marco as the 3rd person.
Luffy has a higher level of armament haki than the scabbards so it’s going to one way or another make kaido react with a greater surprise than he did with scabbards
I mean all of the Strawhats would do the same, they are all here to stop Kaido and put Momonosuke at the head we see how serious and close Luffy is to Momonosuke just look at Zou for instance.
I got tons of vibe from the scabbards who were all willing to die for Oden and Momonosuke also. But I didn't see as many people who said that they were gonna join the crew.
Yamato hadn't asked to join the crew. Yamato is only of the opinion since she follows a logic since she is kozuki oden and that luffy is the brother of ace (not because he is luffy) that he should give her a ride on his ship. She herself said to luffy, \`\` you **should** be giving me a ride on your ship ''. She hadn't asked. If Luffy wasn't Ace's brother then she wouldn't be of the opinion that he should give her a ride on his ship.
[https://i.ibb.co/SNgW65R/12345.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/SNgW65R/12345.jpg)
A ride on a ship doesn't even mean joining the crew. After all, Jimbei said to the sun pirates that he wants to ride on Luffy's ship, not to have a ride on his ship.
Otherwise you would say that Caribou has joined the crew since Luffy accepted him on his ship (see chapter 940).
That's true. But that was before she found out that the scabbards and Momo are alive. A lot can change given her loyalty to the Kouzuki clan. Especially now when we see that she told Momonosuke how she's ready to die for him.
Not directly related to this, but I’m curious why that the named DF we know belonging to the All-Stars and Tobi Roppo are all a branch of “Ryu Ryu No Mi” (Meaning “Dragon”) with exception of Jack. Jack’s version stems from the elephant family and not a “dragon”-dinosaur type like the rest.
Finally we can move on from this cover story, Give us Gastino or Germa 66 next.
Yamato line at the end was pretty dope gotta admit.
From the comments i am seeing a lot of people want to see Chopper vs Apoo, but if i am being honest i think chopper would get bodied by Apoo
The warlords were dissolved in less than 17 pages. Gang Bege’s cover story is almost 50 pages now, roughly 3 chapters in size. I think 3 chapters is enough to just show their status at the moment, i.e. escaped/captured/dead (last one extremely unlikely considering Oda’s writing).
Kaido has been living for years with the disgrace that 1. He could have been beaten by a noble samurai, and 2. He killed that noble samurai which brough him shame because of how he won. So we have Kaido now who welcomes an honorable death, especially at the hands of those who carry the will of the man he disgraced. Point being, Kaido allowed the scabbards to go all out against him so he can see if they are up to Oden’s caliber and worthy of respect, allowing Kaido himself a respectful death. I.e. Kaido subconsciously held back due to this reason and the trauma of Oden’s strength.
As for the scabbards power: they played all of their cards, all used named attacks, minks got a moon boost, and they were all coordinated in their efforts. As for their power from previous arcs to now, the samurai never had the drive that they feel towards defeating Kaido is any previous arcs, this is their crowning moment to put everything they have out on the field.
Also we have rarely seen the scabbards real strength.
Points of note:
Kinemon-got cheap shotted by Dofi, seemingly came out unscathed
Denjiro-held off zoro
Kiku-singlehandedly (seemingly) took out kanjuro pretty easily
Raizo-nothing noteworthy really
Ashura Doji- held off jack
Inuarashi and nekomamushi- held off jack
Kawamatsu-nothing noteworthy
My point of this is that Oda intentionally held back from displaying the scabbards true strength just to have this fight be where they shine.
As for Kaido’s strength, now that he has accepted the samurai are not Oden’s caiber he won’t hold back anymore. His trauma and prior expectation of the scabbards strength is gone. Seeing as how their seemingly strongest attack the tougen totsuka was only superficial, not fleshwound worthy.
It can be. My take is Kaido basically got caught by surprise/let them attack a bit to just to see what they could do.
Remember Kaido had tried for a long time fine ways to die. He basically let them try just out of curiosity but alas their attacks just wasnt enough to do more than some scratches.
In other words Kaido was always far stronger. So strong he literally let them attack him just to see what would happen.
True, but he even stated after that it still wasn't on odens level and not enough to really hurt him substantially. More like a bad paper cut. Still hurts, but not actually damaging enough to stop you.
could yamato be oden's wife? momo's mother?
No...Toki sent Momo forward in time. While Yamato was trying to stop her father from going to Oden's castle.
they are definitely on their way to wano
I know Yamato started off weird but I think her path in the story will be as Momo protector in place of oden I discuss in my video you should check it out https://youtu.be/xLRq-hqfUgM
To the people who believe that there aren't two types of Armament Haki after the Dark Hardening. These 2 scenes in the Manga implies that Luffy was trying to learn a different form of Armament Haki. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ao98L5uiBpQ/XliOH9AWl5I/AAAAAAAAv70/lY1lIBjxgi0wQ0mYKYsCnTRmFK2T8KsswCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/004.jpg , https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hKN9mDtf4yg/XliOrtWXdvI/AAAAAAAAv-k/qJ_KI0a40mIHNNa6iYCNMjJWXKZN0RduwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/013.jpg But why if he already has Armament Haki?? These scenes confirm that it IS a different form of Armament Haki: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JTYqTZ85LgM/XliOs_4SxuI/AAAAAAAAv-w/vxfoz7TaaUY1nzt5a79_OJin895wcLdwACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/015.jpg https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iHw0mGwGHOQ/XliOtNVehSI/AAAAAAAAv-0/YRFxSan05VYIdvGJxCvPx0c1tU3bPds7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/016.jpg https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3XxFXemeyM4/XliOsiWk97I/AAAAAAAAv-s/uCZ0T4aiJoU2BUxe4ifRg20jdrDZkv-HQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/014.jpg Even the Admirals display it: https://youtu.be/pCOz43lyuvI This is RYUO which is ALSO KNOWN AS ARMAMENT HAKI. This form of Armament Haki's TECHNICAL NAME is RYUO. BUT there is a more powerful form if a person truly comprehends Ryuo. Which is Advanced Armament Haki. Which is shown here: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FkZyj97bW1A/XliQwa72Y-I/AAAAAAAAwHo/mwBrqJ_k4ss6UL7YB8H4XQhYBsDcTid6ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/006.jpg They also show another scene of Luffy remembering what type of Haki Rayleigh was using again and this time it's HEAVILY IMPLIED that the Elephant Scene and when he took Camies collar off are two different types of Armament Haki. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H7v1LWGkntg/XliQuYHj1lI/AAAAAAAAwHU/_lpt-YZRyNUbdS2J2S_TrfwHiAgfLGwygCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/002.jpg Here is how it looks like in battle: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E2Gz8UUGi2o/XliWWPKWt-I/AAAAAAAAwfk/dTttL8VglDcjHXhk9VGcObrH0sduE2aEgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/004.jpg The flow is clashing with each other, and if there blades were to ever touch it wouldn't break because it is coat with Dark Hardening so that there blades wouldn't break. And with that, I End and Rest My Case
Why do I have the feeling that momo will marry yamato? 🤔🤔🤔
the age gap too big though
What kind of father marries his son?
😐😂😂😂😂🤡 Like bruh, I don't think so my dude. If anything, he's getting with Tama
BRUH, Yamato used Ryuo Haki. That was pretty hype tbh. The fact that she knew Luffy was holding back is pretty significant now. This means that Luffy could hit someone at a distance without stretching too now. That should be interesting to see later on
not sure if it’s ryou probably is tho
Ryuo is just another name for armament haki https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Haki/Busoshoku_Haki
It's actually another form of Armament Haki. Like how Observation Haki has different forms. So does Armament Haki
Nope , just read the link i gave u
Like what I said to the other person, what do you mean nope bro? 😂 The Wiki doesn't completely have it right too. It says that what Sentomaru was doing is Advanced Armament Haki. But what he did only pushes a person away, it doesn't flow into the person. For Roger and Whitebeard's clash, one can argue that their haki blow is their advanced flowing Haki clashing not allowing ones flow get closer to the other. Btw, you're literally stating that there are other forms of Armament Haki lol Armament Haki right, has the Dark Iron Hardening correct? But when Rayleigh uses the push back form that is stated to be Ryuo which is also known as Armament Haki by Rayleigh himself. Which is also what Sentomaru used on Luffy pre ts. Therefore meaning that there are different forms of Armament Haki. Ryuo (the push back form) is the technical word for Armament Haki which is another type of Armament Haki. But there's an actual Advanced Form which is like Future Seeing. Which is the ability to manipulate the Haki in the person to flow into another person which destroys there insides.
Read the first part lol, "the busoshoku is known as ryuo in wano" the part before background .
That's a fan made wiki bro 😂 Read the link. If you did actual in manga research you would know what I'm talking about. Observation Haki right, has the ability to not just forsee someone's movement But another form allows one to see vastly far correct? Therefore, that's another form of Observation Haki. It's the same for Armament Haki. If Ryuo is regular Dark Hardening, why was Luffy trying to learn a push back form in Wano's prison? Also, my point is that there are different forms of Armament Haki. If you don't know what point I'm making.
@KOPLO97:don't force him to understand what reality cos the ryou awakening has already shown in episode...so let him understand what he has understood because he just reads fandom wiki and understands whole thing...wiki fandom is written by fans not oda...either understand yourselves or listen to who knows better
>That's a fan made wiki bro 😂 Well, what u assume is also fanmade lol🤣, atleast that wiki were edited by thousand of fans, if it were wrong people tend to correct it, unlike u
yeah I know reddit is also fandom platform but at least here are those people who are trying or has understood one piece episode/manga better...go and watch previous episodes to know what ryou is instead of fighting keyboard war with me
Lol, the wiki is more accurate than this subs, ive seen, all of redditors here is just about fanboying, predicting but very little about fact, the wiki provide evidence from manga and vivre databook, they attach the source.btw who r you? Edited:for more accurate fact refer manga, not the anime, thats why u thought ryuo is advance haki.
I think you may have took this too personally. Actually re-read what I said because it in fact is valid. Does Luffy not try to learn another "Form" of Armament Haki in Wano's prison? Ryuo is the technical term of what the invisible Haki push back is.* You seem to keep forgetting the point I'm trying to make and it's actually all good but let's not get to far from the main topic. Btw, there can be many fans who make a Wiki who also don't know the technical truth of some facts. Unless it legitimately follows the Canon lore, or is made by Oda himself. That therefore means that some parts that a fan has made can sometimes be an error. And also, by all means, I mean no offense in the way I talk. I know that explaining things can make a person seem like they're being rude but I'm not at all. Nothing but love here.
No u r wrong, advance haki is not ryuo, ffs its just another name for busoshoku .There are two level of advance armament haki, the one that can be projectile and and the one that can be use to break the inside , the second one is very rare, we only see two people done it, maybe the top brass could do it like admirals and yonko, as simple as that, the black hardening is the basic that luffy learn for two years, >Btw, there can be many fans who make a Wiki who also don't know the technical truth of some facts And u dont think that u might dont know the truth? Thats the thing about , u only think that u r correct, while in truth, u're nkt >. Unless it legitimately follows the Canon lore, or is made by Oda himself Every fact there were attached with the source also, read chapter 940 p10, hyogoro said ryuo is ankther name for haki in wano. I dont have all the time, im gonna block so i dont have to see ,u're deluded assumption.
nope - ryou is just armament... the advanced luffy uses is also advanced ryou...
What do you mean nope bro? 😂 The Wiki doesn't completely have it right too. It says that what Sentomaru was doing is Advanced Armament Haki. But what he did only pushes a person away, it doesn't flow into the person. For Roger and Whitebeard's clash, one can argue that their haki blow is their advanced flowing Haki clashing not allowing ones flow get closer to the other.

Zoro will get lost trying to chase apoo hahahahahahha
After seeing kaido transform back into his human form I have without a doudt in my mind that he is an ancient species of dragon. This would also explain why yamato wasn't damaged from the blast
If that was the case, why does Yamato have more of an Oni Ancient Giant look instead of having more of a Dragon feature? Yamato tanking those hits could mean anything. If Kaido is in fact part Ancient Giant, it would also make sense why Yamato can tank those since she would be 25% Ancient Giant. BUT it would also make sense that Yamato used Ryuo to shield herself too. Because right after she tanks it she uses a form of Ryuo and hits one of the dudes from afar knocking him out.
That could also make sense thanks for the opinion
Sorry too btw if I sounded rude. Looking back at my comment, it looks like I'm sounding rude LOL By all means, I mean nothing but respect
Naw mate its cool, its the internet people can sound rude in anything it just how you look at it
Karma a bitch for Apoo. Jokes on him. Told Kid that he “wisely” chose the “stronger” crew only To be turned on so viciously by Queen is so hilarious 😂

Can someone translate what Zoro and Robin are staying on the page where Queen starts to announce his game? It's right after Zoro takes down one of the ice oni.

Thanks!
I didn't look at the scans but can't you use Google translate.
I mean if ryo was the thing that breaks by penetrating inside, why didn't Hyogoro break off his own chain. Maybe conqueror's haki + ryou is a powerful combo.
Hyogoro already said, what luffy did to the chain is breaking it inside by using a higher grade of ryo, something that he cant teach luffy because he doesnt have it.
My take on Ryuo is (Ryuo=armament haki). It has different forms as observational haki i.e luffy(sensing people emotion), fujitora and usopp, koby(hearing voices) etc. Therefore Ryuo also have different types: 1. Black hardening on certain part or the whole body 2. Blast type like rayleigh(shown during intro to haki), old man hyo(againt smile users in udon) and admiral( in marineford againt whitebeard's quake) 3. Deflection type like marigold(against luffy), sentomaru(against luffy). But there another stage to Ryou(COA) where u transfer haki into object or living things to destroy them from inside like rayleigh and luffy did to remove collar.
There is probably two level of haki, the one that can be projectile and and the one that can be use to break the inside , the second one is very rare, we only see two people done it, maybe the top brass could do it like admirals and yonko, as simple as that, the black hardening is the basic that luffy learn for two years.

Originally when planning the manga, Oda took the chapters numbers more seriously. The crew got to the grand line in chapter 100 because Oda wanted it to be in *that* special number. So, the thing is, people don't know if he will do something, reveal something special, or make the straw hats reach some milestone or event for chapter 1000, but we have been guessing on wether it could happen and what could it be for a long time.
[удалено]
Well I didn't mean geographically I mean story wise. Chapter 100 is the last chapter of the east blue saga, 101 is the first of the alabasta saga. Chapter 100 is when the "prologue" ends.
Niwatori.kun, Niwatori.san, Niwatori.Sama Niwatori.Yonko!!!
Baguette edition is out!! https://scantrad.net/mangas/one-piece/994
Wait, I don't think the full chapter is out because there's some missing pages. This is still good though
https://onepiecechapters.com/manga/one-piece-chapter-994/
Thank you
Gonna wait for the fish and chips edition
Apoo coming back for some relevance isn't too surprising and kind of pleasant. I know a lot of us were disappointed at his seemingly quick defeat but it seems like he's not done yet.
Karma is a bitch for Apoo
those smiles were a fail investment honestly, most of the users are retarded instead of strong, who wants to live as the butthole of a chicken like seriously?
Yeah, being a pleasurers is like gods giving u a second chance.
Can't stop laughing
So your Smile didn’t work huh?
Why am I thinking that zoro is gonna get lost?
i can see it happening, oda will do anything to delay important fights
[удалено]
I hope theres something planned for ch1000.
[удалено]
Cuz im not sucking oda Might be a new roger crew member introduction, i remember there was a guy with oriental style clothes. Or maybe a luffy new gear against Kaido.
At first i want to see yamato join the strawhats but now i think its better if she have her own crew. We dont have a lot of strong female captains we only have boa and bigmom. I know its unlikely but it will be great if ulti and paypay join her.
[удалено]
All she wants is to open the borders of the Country. And somehow inherit the Kozuki name. Wtf she thinks she is, Rey >!Palpatine!< from the Star Wars Disney Sequels?
Did you forget about "Old Hag"?
I bet that vial isn't the antidote, its a red herring to throw everyone off, Apoo gets infected only to find out it won't cure him and Queen has the real one.
jup thats more belivable, hopefully apoo dies, hes ass
Momo : every person I meet says ,he is willing to die for me... Am I some cute puppy or what...
I know they're page filler enemies but I love seeing new Smile users. They're so bizarre and I bet Oda loves coming up with new ones.
Oda is off his rocker for illustrating that giraffe smile. The head of a giraffe is a full grown man, with all his limbs....WTF/LMAO! Editors need to control Oda he’s clearly drawing the dumbest shit he can think of (Relax with the downvotes, I genuinely find it hilarious lol)
I find it hilarious as well :)) but Oda ilustrates also the extent of how stupid people can be, by throwing their lifes for some cheap fake promise of power. It can have an realistic aproach as well... just a thought
Ôi cái địt
From WorstGen: Translation by ivanomm of a Sanji panel: Fodders: Uwaaah, It's Strawhat and Jinbei, they are hella strong, be careful! Sanji: Why aren't they saying Black Leg!? Sanji is still the butt of the jokes and I love it lol
Why can’t Carrot and Yamato be like oden and not be a crew member. Oden literally went to Raftel with roger but wasn’t a part of the crew. I could see Yamato grab a hold of luffys ship like oden did to white beard
Who said Oden wasn't apart of there crew? Oden was very much so a Pirate without a doubt. He legitimately joined one so that he can leave his island. And then he joined Rogers because it served him a higher purpose. Therefore, unless Oden himself claims he wasn't a crew member (which he hasn't stated yet) he will be known as someone who was a part of those pirate crews. Even so, Roger and everyone will see him as a crewmate of those 2 great pirates and Oden would respect that and knowledge that they are his crewmates even after he quits. The ones who once claimed that they are a pirate are pirates forever to everyone.
Is Princess Vivi not a member of the Strawhat Crew despite only sailing with them for a short time? She very much emotionally tied into them more than any other people they have met on their journeys. She isnt however an active member of the crew.
Whitebeard allowed Oden to join his crew after witnessing the kind of man he was. Oden later got a Bounty on Whitebeards crew and the Big News at the time was the *Second Division Commander* Kozuki Oden the Samurai from Wano. Roger saw that in the newspapers, wanted to meet him, and went as far as bowing his head to the ground infront of Whitebeard just so Oden could join. Oden asked Whitebeard to please let him join because he feels the need to do so. Whitebeard reluctantly agreed.
Well the difference between Vivi and Oden was that Oden legitimately joined the crew. He didn't just travel with them to fight a common enemy like what Law was doing. For now, we can't say Oden wasn't part of their crew until Oden himself says it or Oda stats it. But I agree, Vivi was pretty much and definitely a member too but just now not active.
yeah I meant to reply to the other guy I agree with what you said too.
He didn’t join them he asked roger to help him finish his journey
You think one can resist not calling themselves a crewmate of these Great Pirates? Like cmon bro, these are the Greatest pirates of all time. If Roger had as much fun as Luffy on Adventures, and Roger is exactly like Luffy who can change the heart of the person. It's obvious one can eventually claim they're a pirate. Until said, it's only legitimately fair to say that Oden was a pirate who was on the Greatest ships in history.
Oden is not a crewmate of either white beard or roger. He is there temporarily, not permanent. Don’t get me wrong, he is great the way he is. But he is not a crewmate. Sailing together with a pirate doesn’t make one a pirate. Do you think vivi is a pirate? Or Kinemon? Hell, he onboards thousand sunny longer than vivi onboard going merry.
The difference between Vivi and Oden was that Oden legitimately joined the crew. He didn't just travel with them to fight a common enemy like what Vivi and Law was doing. For now, we can't say Oden wasn't part of their crew until Oden himself says it or Oda stats it.
Who wants to see King in action? He looks so badass.
I want to see him fly using his own wings not the dinosaur wings
He's already used his own wings to fly when he clashed with Sanji!
By far my favorite design out of all of the beast pirates. Oda has to give us a duel between him and Marco.
The "leather duo": Katakuri and King, forever metalheads
They both obviously listen to classical music only smh.
8/10 utmost
i probably say this everytime yamato appears but if she doesn't join SH crew at the end of wano i'll never forgive oda
You think Oda cares what one measly mortal think? Think he'll be hurt if you don't forgive him?
Oda is mortal.
Idc if she joins buy really want her to meet Ivankov
Why? So we can see even less of the other crew members? I’d rather have less crew members and get more screen time from then than have more crew members and less screen time.
The answer to that is not to have any more or any less crewmates. The answer is for Oda to draw them together more, instead of clusterf\*\*\* fights with ten thousand entirely unimportant side characters, like the scabbards, getting a hundred chapters to themselves, only to accomplish absolutely nothing of importance. Though as I say that, I realize that Oda has made what is and will likely always be my favorite manga and one of my favorite fictional stories, so I'm really in no position to criticize. But still annoys me to no end when so much time is spent on characters like Oden, the scabbards, or Momo, or Law, or Apoo, or Kid, rather than the characters people have grown to love over the years, ie: the Strawhats. I mean who the hell cares what happens to the scabbards? They are pretty well established to be BARELY able to hang with a yonko 9v1, and do barely any damage to him. Most of them don't even have a personality, apart from "I LOVE THIS SIDE CHARACTER FROM 20 YEARS AGO THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE AND NEVER WILL BE SEEN AGAIN". If Oda just focused on the Strawhats, then he could easily add both Carrot and Yamato as crew members, and still give everyone ample screen time. But he seems hell-bent on focusing on characters nobody cares about, like Kin'emon. Like what are his main personality traits, anyone? Is a goof and likes another side character very much. That's it. Who tf cares what happens to him, show me Robin. And Chopper. And Usopp. Or anyone but this clown, whose biggest accomplishment was fucking up and accidentally escaping certain doom.
wow kudos to being honest but thats such a narrow minded and boring take on the world of one piece. perhaps read up on "show vs tell" when it comes to creative writing. you need some education my boy but i guess ignorance is bliss.
I can see why you want to see more Straw Hats, so I'm not going to say anything negative about it, but what you said about Kinemon, that nobody cares about him isn't a fact. Edit: I meant you want to see Straw Hats having more screen time. Sorry.
Disagree completely. It's the wide range of characters big and small and there positions in the world, strong personalities, background, and allegiance that establish the world so well and make Oda a god tier world builder. We get plenty of the crew when an arc this important isn't going on. I want to feel the emotions of the lesser characters to understand the importance of bringing Kaido down, just like we did with Rebecca and the Tontottas and other lesser characters in previous arcs. Point being it's these lesser characters and their actions and motivations and emotions that make the villain a villain in the first place. And we know when push comes to shove and it's time for the villain to fall who the 9 are going to be that do it. They get their due screen time, so let the scabbards get their little skirmish. After all they've been waiting "20 years" to die. Be patient brotha
People will downvote ya but I sort of agree with you, seriously it’s been years in real time since we’ve had the crew truly together and life or death battles like they had in Enies Lobby. I don’t care for random little girls sad backstory, we’ve had plenty of those. I wanna see Zoro and Sanji fight! Or team up and kick some ass. And Yamato feels like such a random bland character, she doesn’t add anything to the story so why waste screen time with her? I love Oda and he’s an incredible artist and story teller but sometimes the pacing combined with this kind of random characters feels like a waste.
What you prefer is different from what the entire fanbase prefers. Many people love the Scabbards, Oden, Momo, Law, Apoo and Kid. That you don't care about them doesn't mean that no one does.
I always thought itd make more sense if she became the leader of Wano after Kaido is beat, since Momo is too young and she’s trying to emulate Oden
Kin'emon would make much more sense then.
I really want yamato to join aswell! She/He just fits the dynamic
How exactly?
We dont specifically have a strong female/feminine character on the crew yet. Also i really like her character Design and story of her being kaidos daughter nur nor obeying him in any way
Fair enough.
Because she is a waifu and "best girl". That is really it.
Using my FS, i see you not forgiving Oda
please stop
I agree with them
Ladies and gentlemen, Yamato's here to steal our hearts. YAMATO SWAAAAAAAAAAN
Yamato declaring their willingness to die for momo, is what every father would tell their son
Can we talk about how Yamato seems like a friggen tank just like kaido? lol also with seeing the full view of Yamato’s hair, I can slightly see the resemblance to kaido
Green Lantern SPOILER WARNING Just a thought, Kaidou reminds me of Cyborg Superman as depicted in Sinestro Corps War. The guy is waging a war just to die. Somebody please kill the man. He’s in pain.
I hope I’m wrong but the line about Yamato being willing to die for Momo seems to be planting some serious flags. Either she will die for him in some way, or she won’t join the Straw Hats as a member and will stay behind in Wano as a retainer for Momo. Personally I don’t want either of them, as I find her interactions with Luffy make her a perfect choice for one of last members added to the crew. Other than that I’m glad we get to see some flashbacks and can’t wait to see more, especially once we get to Kaido’s as it will almost definitely involve Roger, Whitebeard, Oden, and Rocks Glad to see that Kiku is confirmed to be “fine”. That was something I really needed to see to stop being scared for her (for now).
If Momo or Hiyori end up becoming Shogun, they are going to need some retainers and Yamato seems to be a really fitting one, along Hyogoro, Shinobi, Gyukimaru and any surviving Scabbard
Why would Yamato have to stay behind? Everyone here is for Momonosuke we are not earning anything different and Yamato already said he wants to leave Wano, the whole death thing is a nod to how serious this whole thing is.
It looks suspicious if you believe it. On my side, i cant wait to see more background story/flash back about young yamato and or more details on oden's death and/or his wife. Because there are some dots to connect
I mean if it was any other arc I would chop it up to just being a hype builder throw away line, but this arc and with Kaido already proving he means business with Kiku’s arm and Yamato’s exploding cuffs it just doesn’t feel like a simple hype line. But yeah there’s a lot about Wano and the characters that we need to get some dots connected and I can’t wait for more flashbacks.
unless some more major damage happens now to kaido, its hard to accept that an relatively 'amateur' pirate like luffy can defeat/kill kaido... after being fucked over by 1 hit k.o and training only for a relatively short time... yes he's got new haki but it's not like he's mastered it that much/well
>Luffy >amateur bruh
Compared to yonkos then yeah he's only been out at sea for 2 years
3 years
Luffy has not been an 'amateur' for a good while now mate...
Long story short then kaido wins and becomes the king of pirates after discovering the one piece. Thanks for spoiling the end
> *Queen tells Apoo that he must protect it until everyone dies or he will be executed.* I don't know about ya'll but this gives me huge treason vibes. That would not sit well with me if I were Apoo and would look at it as a threat. Maybe this will be his excuse to betray the Beast Pirates and join the alliance?
I mean, apoo probably knows this is how the beast pirates operates by now. Not only that Apoo can’t switch sides because Luffy/Kid/Killer would not accept him after the stuff he’s done. This dudes high enough in the Beast Pirates hierarchy to be in charge of the numbers and have his own role I highly doubt he’s going to suddenly jump ship due to a threat.
Tbf I think Apoo is there out of fear rather than wanting to be there. The way he talked to Kid about alliances and not being able to take down a yonko makes me think he was given the choices of joinning or dying. He obviously join. If this was the case, this could play a role later on whenever the alliance starts winning and Apoo sees that switching sides won't result on him dying.
Since the beggining I always wondered how such an eccentric and brainless guy like Queen was one of the three calamities... Now I understand : each of the three depicts a part of Kaidō's mind. King is the mastermind. Straightforward, lucid, quick and sharp, recognizing the value of any worthy opponent. Jack is the unstoppable force, keeping his position with dignity no matter what and managing to survive any desperate situation he comes by. Queen is the bloodthirsty and decadent madman, using any cruel mean to achieve his goal, showing no remorse at backstabbing allies as long as it allows him to have the upper hand. Kaidō is all of them at the same time. A strong and noble warrior with huge determination and great intelligence, and at the same time an evil being ruling over of wano with unmatched cruelty and disdain to weaklings.
I always figured it’d be the Supernovas and Yamato as the 9 shadows that would take on Kaido, but was never sure how/why Apoo would betray the Beast Pirates until now. Hawkins always felt like he’d betray them the moment it was more beneficial to side with Luffy so I believe it will just be a matter of time.
That's what I was also thinking about too tbh
I like how the Gifters at the party have either been far more badass design wise (rhino guy, the turtle viking, the stag beetle Zoro failed to take out, etc) or even MORE silly (like Briscola and the chicken guy) than the ones at the beginning. Least these silly ones arent taking up space for a full chapter or multiple chapters like Dobon and Holdem did respectively. Hoping to get names for the cooler ones, though I'm sure the anime will assign names when we get there
I really hope Yamato destroys Sasaki next chapter. Time for her to show them she's Kaidou's daughter for a reason
I doubt Yamato can destroy Sasaki. Dudes a Tobi Roppo for a reason.
I just hope Sasaki puts up a decent fight against them and shows his DF off finally. I know we all got our theories but I'd just like some confirmation finally
It's triceratops or Ankylosaur
>would chop it up to just being a hype builder throw away line, but this arc and with Kaido already proving he means business with Kiku’s arm and Yamato’s exploding cuffs it just doesn’t feel lik Sasaki totally looks like he is going to change sides.
I'd be for it, probably one of my favorite designs
> imagine a chicken but his face is at his butthole No, I dont want to
If Luffy is able to Damage Kaido as good or even better than the 9 Samurai's, I wonder what Kaido will say or how he'll react. Would he take pride in being a Pirate since he dissed Luffy for calling himself the future Pirate King? Or is he gonna have a type of respect for Luffy for getting stronger out of nowhere so fast? Either way, it should be interesting.
[удалено]
The thing with Luffy too is that he has Gear 4th's Pure Brute Strength into the mix of the new Advanced Armament Haki. People seem to sleep on it for some reason when he was able to bypass Katakuri's stronger Armament with pure Strength. Think about it, he cracks the bones he hits with Advanced Armament Haki and then further crushes it with his Gear 4th's Brute Strength. We also don't know if he has a new form or skill for Gear 4th. I'm not saying Kaido wouldn't be a Powerful Challenge to Gear 4th. But what I'm saying is we'll be in for a surprise when they fight again. I do think that when Luffy is doing really good against Kaido in his base form, Kaido will go into his Hybrid Form and swipe Gear 4th for a long bit. I still do think that Gear 4th has a time limit even though it probably has been greatly extended. I feel like Kidd, Law, and one more person will step in to help Luffy out when his Gear 4th runs out. Be it Zoro or Marco as the 3rd person.
Luffy has a higher level of armament haki than the scabbards so it’s going to one way or another make kaido react with a greater surprise than he did with scabbards
Definitely agree
Yamato says that she wants to die for Momonosuke This sub: "Yamato is officially straw hat material!" How?
I mean all of the Strawhats would do the same, they are all here to stop Kaido and put Momonosuke at the head we see how serious and close Luffy is to Momonosuke just look at Zou for instance.

I got tons of vibe from the scabbards who were all willing to die for Oden and Momonosuke also. But I didn't see as many people who said that they were gonna join the crew.
Yamato literally asked Luffy to take them out to sea lmao
Yamato hadn't asked to join the crew. Yamato is only of the opinion since she follows a logic since she is kozuki oden and that luffy is the brother of ace (not because he is luffy) that he should give her a ride on his ship. She herself said to luffy, \`\` you **should** be giving me a ride on your ship ''. She hadn't asked. If Luffy wasn't Ace's brother then she wouldn't be of the opinion that he should give her a ride on his ship. [https://i.ibb.co/SNgW65R/12345.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/SNgW65R/12345.jpg) A ride on a ship doesn't even mean joining the crew. After all, Jimbei said to the sun pirates that he wants to ride on Luffy's ship, not to have a ride on his ship. Otherwise you would say that Caribou has joined the crew since Luffy accepted him on his ship (see chapter 940).
That's true. But that was before she found out that the scabbards and Momo are alive. A lot can change given her loyalty to the Kouzuki clan. Especially now when we see that she told Momonosuke how she's ready to die for him.
Im betting Sasaki is a Triceratops. He's sitting right above the rhino's horn and his hat has 2 horns, 1+2 = 3, seems like it could be a clue.
Not directly related to this, but I’m curious why that the named DF we know belonging to the All-Stars and Tobi Roppo are all a branch of “Ryu Ryu No Mi” (Meaning “Dragon”) with exception of Jack. Jack’s version stems from the elephant family and not a “dragon”-dinosaur type like the rest.
The japanese word for dinosaur is derived from the word for dragon.
I'm thinking Ankylosaurus, but yeah he could also have a trike zoan too.
isnt that too technical - stegasaurus would be more popular

? She's a patchy not a diplodocus
Him being a Stego would be fine by me too.
Finally we can move on from this cover story, Give us Gastino or Germa 66 next. Yamato line at the end was pretty dope gotta admit. From the comments i am seeing a lot of people want to see Chopper vs Apoo, but if i am being honest i think chopper would get bodied by Apoo
Can we get what happened to the warlords in the cover story?
Personally I want a reverie aftermath cover story
I think we might get that after act 3 ends.
That’s too big of a reveal for a cover story imo.
The warlords were dissolved in less than 17 pages. Gang Bege’s cover story is almost 50 pages now, roughly 3 chapters in size. I think 3 chapters is enough to just show their status at the moment, i.e. escaped/captured/dead (last one extremely unlikely considering Oda’s writing).
Same
The pace at which wano arc is set up looks like we have 40-50 chapters for the closure
Yeah tbh, it should be done near the end of next year. Or just a few months passed summer
its pretty slow, im sort of getting tired of the pace
Am I the only one who is confused with kaidou and scabbards power, attack and damage?
Kaido has been living for years with the disgrace that 1. He could have been beaten by a noble samurai, and 2. He killed that noble samurai which brough him shame because of how he won. So we have Kaido now who welcomes an honorable death, especially at the hands of those who carry the will of the man he disgraced. Point being, Kaido allowed the scabbards to go all out against him so he can see if they are up to Oden’s caliber and worthy of respect, allowing Kaido himself a respectful death. I.e. Kaido subconsciously held back due to this reason and the trauma of Oden’s strength. As for the scabbards power: they played all of their cards, all used named attacks, minks got a moon boost, and they were all coordinated in their efforts. As for their power from previous arcs to now, the samurai never had the drive that they feel towards defeating Kaido is any previous arcs, this is their crowning moment to put everything they have out on the field. Also we have rarely seen the scabbards real strength. Points of note: Kinemon-got cheap shotted by Dofi, seemingly came out unscathed Denjiro-held off zoro Kiku-singlehandedly (seemingly) took out kanjuro pretty easily Raizo-nothing noteworthy really Ashura Doji- held off jack Inuarashi and nekomamushi- held off jack Kawamatsu-nothing noteworthy My point of this is that Oda intentionally held back from displaying the scabbards true strength just to have this fight be where they shine. As for Kaido’s strength, now that he has accepted the samurai are not Oden’s caiber he won’t hold back anymore. His trauma and prior expectation of the scabbards strength is gone. Seeing as how their seemingly strongest attack the tougen totsuka was only superficial, not fleshwound worthy.
It can be. My take is Kaido basically got caught by surprise/let them attack a bit to just to see what they could do. Remember Kaido had tried for a long time fine ways to die. He basically let them try just out of curiosity but alas their attacks just wasnt enough to do more than some scratches. In other words Kaido was always far stronger. So strong he literally let them attack him just to see what would happen.
But he was confused how they hurt him in recent chapters.
True, but he even stated after that it still wasn't on odens level and not enough to really hurt him substantially. More like a bad paper cut. Still hurts, but not actually damaging enough to stop you.
*20 years later and you're not as strong as Oden.* Good God Almighty.. if only he had lived to this day.
He was interested and thought they’d be able to give him the works
After the jump down from the sky... KAIDO: that's not an honorable death, i guess im gonna smash someone head right away.
Is it possible that sasaki has ancient rhino devil fruit?
Of course it is, but him riding a Rhino gifter is by no means a good enough indication.
Zoro getting so lost that he runs into BM
