Well, that came out of nowhere.

Felt really like classic OP. Great chapter

 

[gundamkyoukai]

The new warlord looks funny going to be interesting to see how things play out with him .
Also it going to be great to see marco and WB crew again .
Bart is awesome like usual and the island being a elephant is nice but also make me remember one of the OP movies.
Where one of the islands was a turtle .

 

[Chariot]

Just wait until we get three more elephants, all of them carried by the turtle island.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Zou, a living creature that moves around the ocean and thus a log pose doesn't work. I called it but I never would have guessed it would be a living elephant! Zou means elephant and zoo, so I predicted the spout we saw before was like the blow hole from a living island sized whale and that this would be home to the animal people the Mink Men. Can't get em all right with Oda.

Half the crew has been there for a week so I can't wait to hear how their adventure went. I think this island will prove particularly important for Chopper.

 

[bjork]

So in the last chapter, in the group image, that was Weeble above Law and below Buggy. Still curious to know what that is to the right of Shanks outside the word bubble.

All the stitching on Weeble's body, I wonder what that's about.

Oda twist:

Spoiler

It's 4 turtles carried by the island elephant

Maybe mommu making him look more like Whitebeard.

....maybe this is Whitebeards actually skin and she dug his corpse out.

 

[Kornflayx]

Holy shit, Weeble and his mother are Majin Buu and Babidi

She's Gecko Moriah's mom

geckomom

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Great chapter, but yeah that one week skip in time is kind of strange. What happened to Sanji & crew and Doffy escort crew during that time?

Also, dammit, it's just a detail but I don't like how Luffy got panicked by the hail. He's not the person who would worry about such things. And Barto and Law didn't even use their excellent powers to defend the ship against it.

 

[Kworn]

So marine HQ is a giant Mcdonalds now?

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Zou made me laugh and give a healthy what the shit. Also looks like it's beastman island/mink island like I predicted and not just some random Kaidou outpost.

 

[Kater]

What the hell...

That was some strange stuff in this chapter. Did Whitebeard get stitched together by Moriah and Hogback? And the marines are using him, disgusting.

Holy shit, Weeble and his mother are Majin Buu and Babidi

I think everyone thought that when they saw it. Oda making references again, hehe.

What are you talking about?

 

[Rebel Leader]

YES!


I can't wait for their return.

--

anyone think there's going to be a glyph on Zou?

 

[Chariot]

What are you talking about?

Was that the guy who only looked at the pictures?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Luffy got panicked when he found out bart don't have navigator lmao before he was just going to help out .
Plus how could bart use his powers he would be going against god did you not hear his grandma lol.
And you can say he don't worry about those things because of nami .

 

[Chariot]

Bartyolomeo

 

[AgentLampshade]

Zou is already a contender for my favourite One Piece island. It looks awesome.

 

[Nocebo]

How long must its legs be?

 

[Pie and Beans]

I don't want Bartolomeo to ever leave the mangas focus.

 

[IHaveIce]

So somebody predicted we wouöd have to see minkman very soon

 

[Cloud Strife]

It obviously is a gag design, isn't it? I don't particularly like him as a serious foe, but I don't think he will be. I think his design is quite amusing as apparently it may be based on an old WB design. There is zero chance this guy is actually WB's son though. Oda better not put out a 'surprise' that he actually is. Well, I doubt he will on that account.

My thoughts exactly. His momma is obviously up to something.

Minks! Can't wait for next week.

 

[Grexeno]

Holy fucking shit at Zou.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Gotta love how Oda played with our expectations..lol. "Wait WB had a son" ? "He is a Warlord and trashing crew left and right ?"

Everyone picturing some Badass character design similar to Kaidou/Whitebeard...and then we get Weeble ...lol.

 

[IHaveIce]

So that is Lola's family huh? Not big mum

 

[Not75Drops]

I can see Law leaving after this arc, with Kinemon sticking around until Wano.

I wonder who the main villain for this arc will be? Part of Kaido's crew is already there and Weeble's mother wants to go after Luffy.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

I thought that it would be more likely for Whitebeard's guys to join up with Shanks but we might see them around fairly soon.

 

[NSESN]

I expect this to be a really small arc, more like a preparation arc to Wano like PH was to Dressrosa.

 

[Oxn]

I expect this to be a really small arc, more like a preparation arc to Wano like PH was to Dressrosa.

PH wasnt even small

Also the return of Marco babyyyyyy

 

[bjork]

I hope Whitey Bay didn't get beaten. She hasn't had time to shine yet.

 

[Grexeno]

I think Zou will be more of a Jaya then a Punk Hazard.

 

[Taborcarn]

We will need to go through the tragic oppressed history of the Mink people, so I don't think Zou can be that short.

My guess is the Celestial Dragons like to skin them and wear them as coats. That's why they sell for so much at the slave auction, they're a status symbol even among the super-elite.

 

[Jigolo]

Elephanto Green

 

[Man God]

Zou will be Davy Back part 2. Luffy's 5000 versus Foxy's 500k

 

[Aaronrules380]

So that is Lola's family huh? Not big mum

why do you say that?

 

[IHaveIce]

why do you say that?

I think it would be way more fitting and Weeble kinda looks like her.

 

[Lunar15]

God, I love the time in between arcs. It's just bombs, bombs everywhere.

Also, I love how Oda chose to show how different it is on a ship that doesn't have Nami as a navigator. Or a navigator at all. Them calling home is such a great gag.

 

[Chariot]

Btw. could this be the first time of Luffy having actual panic in ages?

 

[Entropia]

When had we heard of these Mink people previously??

 

[Aaronrules380]

Auction house list back in Saobondy

 

[Qurupeke]

Also, I didn't know that Edward is Whitebeard's last name, not his first name. His first name is Newgate...

 

[Chariot]

Also, I didn't know that Edward is Whitebeard's last name, not his first name. His first name is Newgate...

Well, we have Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Garp and Monkey D. Dragon. It's actually coherent.
Also notice how even his friends say Zoro and not Rorona, which would be weird if that was his last name.

 

[slash3584]

Mind blown

 

[Kater]

What are you talking about?

I am guessing he's made of old Whitebeard. And if that's the case and I'm right, that's pretty disgusting.

Or was it said somewhere that it's someone who's just tricked into believing he's his son?

It's very clear in the subtext. The mothers who tries to trick him very amateurishly into thinking he is Whitebeards son. The mirror, remember the mirror. He may very well be stitched up with Whitebeard parts, but he is most likely not his actual son.

Lol, there's no way you could possibly misinterpret the whole chapter even more, never mind the fact that the marines ordered Moriah dead, along with the fact that the marines themselves aren't sure if the new warlord really is who he claims to be. I don't even know how you came to that conclusion but you've got everything completely wrong.

 

[Kater]

I'll give it a re-read once the better translation is out. I only skimmed it this morning so that's probably why I got it wrong.

Edit: Oh, it's already out. Will get to reading it again then.

 

[B-Dubs]

Btw. could this be the first time of Luffy having actual panic in ages?

Probably, Nami isn't there to save him this time. It's a pretty funny way to show how important Nami is.

 

[Mendrox]

Well what if that mother is devil fruit user and she is able to make puppets out of dead humans? She could have made a puppet out of Whitebeards corpse. I like that idea.
